The Longyuan Conference is about to be held, and it doesn’t matter that the various university factions are currently in peace.
But anyone who is a scholar knows very well that everyone is holding their breath and wants to come out on top.
In particular, the Southern School of Confucianism was the leader in convening this conference, but its strength was not as good as other schools. Being able to host the Longyuan Conference was something they fought hard for, and they obviously wanted to make a splash at the conference.
It's a pity that the way of the university, which is restricted by other university schools, cannot be shown, although the Confucian scholars of the Southern School agree.
But there must be some dissatisfaction in his heart and he wants to do something. Now, Song Zhishu is being fought over by both the sect and the royal sect, both of which want to be included in their respective schools. How can the Southern Confucians tolerate this?
Therefore, as a leader, Zeng Yong, after seeing this situation, would not be surprised if he took action directly.
There is a fight between great scholars. This has not happened for many years?
At this moment, everyone is paying attention and can't help but step back.
Da Ru's methods are quite powerful.
Although it will not harm the fish in the pond, it is still best to be careful in everything.
"Brother Zeng, why are you so impulsive?" Cen Xingyuan smiled, his eyes were indifferent, and he did not have any fear. Instead, he continued: "You said that Song Xiaoyou is a Southern Confucian, but what proof is there for this matter? Indeed, Song Xiaoyou has been affected by
The Southern School teaches, but does one have to be a Southern Confucian?"
"Song Xiaoyou is a great talent. He has not yet made it clear that he has joined a certain school of thought. In the meantime, anyone can win over him."
"Besides, what I did was done openly and openly. I didn't hide it from anyone. How could it be inconsistent with etiquette?"
When he spoke, his tone was calm and he directly gave his reasons.
It is said that Song Zhishu did not indicate that he belonged to the Southern Confucian school, and under such circumstances, there is nothing wrong with his wooing.
"Brother Xingyuan is right."
On the other side, the leader of the Wang faction, Zheng Gongwen, also came out with a smile on his face: "What's more, a person like Song Xiaoyou needs to choose the right path. The current Southern Confucianism does not have much foundation to provide Song Xiaoyou with more information."
Good choice.”
He didn't know which school Song Zhishu would join, but one thing was that it would be better if he could join the King's School.
The Southern Confucians indeed have a close relationship with each other. What they have to do now is to cut off the contact.
As for the rest, Zheng Gongwen did not think about it carefully and would wait until later.
After all, everyone knows about Song Zhishu's talent.
Especially the way of university is even more remarkable.
If the other party enters which school, it means where the university comes from. This is related to the prosperity of which school in future generations.
It should be noted that the Tao of the University refers to the way of a gentleman, which can help scholars understand and resolve, and will definitely be promoted to all scholars in the world. Therefore, which school the Tao of the University belongs to is extremely important.
As the Song Zhishu who understood the way of university, one can imagine his importance in the hearts of the leaders of various university schools.
In other words, this is a battle for the holy way, which is more fierce than the battle of ideas.
That's why.
Even the leaders of the two academic factions lowered their faces at this moment and were about to start an argument directly.
After Song Zhishu had read it for so long, he naturally understood it. He knew that his talent had been noticed by various universities, but that was not the case. The most important thing was the article "The Way of the University". Anyone who is a scholar knows the meaning of it.
At this time, Zeng Yong couldn't help but frown after hearing what the other party said.
Because what they both said was absolutely right.
Song Zhishu was related to the Southern Confucian school, but he did not represent his own school of thought unless it was publicly stated.
If other scholars had nothing, no one would care, but it is different now. What Song Zhishu represents is the way of the university, and in the legend of later generations, he belongs to that school of thought.
Therefore, facing the words of the two people, Zeng Yong said nothing, and then turned his head directly to look at Song Zhishu.
"Song Xiaoyou, what they two said is right. Now we, the Southern Confucian School, don't have much foundation, and we can't provide many resources, let alone the saint's original manuscripts. But I still want to ask, Xiaoyou Song, if you are willing to join me.
Southern Confucianism?”
Zeng Yong's voice was very soft, but there was a look of expectation in his eyes.
This was his first time meeting Zhishu Song, but several of his students had met him and spoke highly of him.
And although today's Southern Confucianism has many outstanding young Confucian scholars, it is still far behind compared to the other party. It can be said that Song Zhishu is the biggest hope of his current school.
Of course, even so, Zeng Yong did not force him with words, he just wanted to know the other party's true thoughts.
If Song Zhishu wanted to join another school of thought, he would not say anything, let alone feel any anger.
Everyone has his or her own path and cannot be forced.
at the same time.
Everyone present also focused their attention on Song Zhishu, waiting for his choice.
In fact, for many scholars present, the choice is obvious. No matter the royal sect or the sect, they all provide excellent treatment. Once you join, your status and status will be greatly improved.
Although some people also know very well that Song Zhishu is now the Taoist disciple of the Sanxiu Alliance, but after all, that is only his status on the immortal path.
From a Confucian perspective, it is not that important.
Zheng Gongwen, the leader of the royal faction, and Cen Xingyuan, the leader of the sect, were also in mood swings at this moment.
As a great scholar, he could remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed, but now the choice of Song Zhishu was indeed of great concern.
However, facing everyone's gaze, Song Zhishu did not feel any pressure. He just bowed slightly to Zeng Yong in front of him, and then said: "Students have Gu Yun to guide them, and Mr. Wenyuan often answers questions. From the beginning,
He is a member of the Southern Confucian school, and no matter in the past or in the future, his students will only be a member of the Southern Confucian school."
His voice was calm, without any emotional ups and downs, but this sentence was said extremely seriously without any hesitation.
Obviously, he has fully expressed his innermost thoughts.
Let’s not talk about the teachings of Gu Yun and Mr. Wenyuan.
Just because of the kindness of Gu Yun Daru who fully supported him when he made a big fuss in the Law Enforcement Hall, it was impossible for him to make any other choice.
Furthermore, since he was taught by Southern Confucianism from the beginning, Song Zhishu also believed that he should be from this school.
It is impossible to switch to other schools of thought just because others offer relatively generous conditions.
What's more important is.
The people-oriented philosophy of Southern Confucianism is also consistent with my own.
"good."
Hearing this, Zeng Yong nodded and stroked his beard, with a look of great relief on his face. He couldn't help but look at the two leaders of the school beside him: "You two, did you hear clearly what Mr. Song said?"
"nature."
When Zheng Gongwen spoke, he seemed not to be affected by Song Zhishu's words.
Instead, he took a step forward again and said directly: "If little friend Song has any questions at any time, you can come to me directly. I will tell you everything I know."
After saying that, he smiled, then turned around and left directly with the person.
Now that Song Zhishu has made his decision, there is no point in staying.
Although the other party stayed in the Southern faction, it did not mean that there would be no opportunities in the future. He still wanted to have a good relationship with the other party.
"Mr. Zheng, walk slowly."
As a junior, Song Zhishu naturally wanted to speak. This was a recuperation for scholars.
"Song Xiaoyou."
Cen Xingyuan also pondered for a moment, and then said: "I wasted a little time. You also bought this Yunzhou Academy to take a look. If you can, you can come at any time."
Originally, he planned to let Song Zhishu enter Yunzhou Academy and get a feel for the Zongsheng lineage before he started to win over him.
But all this was interrupted by the Wang faction, and now it is impossible for him to continue to enter Yunzhou Academy.
Just wait until later.
In fact, Cen Xingyuan's thoughts were similar to Zheng Gongwen's.
"Thank you, Mr. Cen." Song Zhishu nodded, understanding what the other party meant.
"Song Xiaoyou, let's go too."
Zeng Yong had no nonsense and prepared to take Song Zhishu to the southern Confucian camp.
There is still a lot to explain about this Longyuan Conference.
"Mr. Song, please go away. I also have a few friends in Yunzhou. I am going to talk to them. Don't worry about me." Chen Jingyun also spoke at the right time. He knew that it was okay for him to follow, but it was too abrupt.
"good."
In this regard, Song Zhishu didn't say much.
Immediately, he left under the leadership of Zeng Yong, Ning Ping Daru and others.
The residence of the Southern Confucian School is located in the south of Yunzhou City, far away from Yunzhou Academy, but with the help of the great Confucianists, this small distance is naturally nothing.
Not long after, Song Zhishu saw a huge building complex not far away. It was not tall or domineering. It was somewhat similar to Yunzhou Academy. There were wisps of Confucian righteousness surging inside, but it was not strong.
"Song Xiaoyou."
At this time, before anyone could enter, Zeng Yong suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Zeng, what are your orders?" After hearing this, Song Zhishu immediately bowed and handed over his hands, knowing that the other party must have something very important to explain.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Zeng Yong spoke directly: "Both the Zong sect and the Wang sect are Confucian schools, and they are also the most powerful. However, I would like to remind you that these two major sects have recently been
, are all very close to Mu Changge."
"Of course, I don't mean to say anything, but I know some things between my little friend and Mu Changge."
"As for whether to make friends with these two factions in the end, Song Xiaoyou can decide by himself."
As soon as these words came out.
Song Zhishu fell silent.
He knew that after the saint passed away, all major sects were trying to find ways to gain support from Confucianism.
Just like the Southern Confucianism and Taihao Sword Sect, the purpose is to cultivate some disciples who practice both Taoism and Confucianism to deal with future crises.
But Song Zhishu really didn't expect that these two great sects would approach Mu Changge alone. Why?
"Okay, Xiaoyou Song, you have just arrived in Yunzhou and you must be tired. I will prepare a room for you. Go and rest first. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow." Zeng Yong looked at it with a smile on his face.
Song Zhishu had a gentle tone.
In any case, he was indeed satisfied with the other party's attitude before.
"yes."
Song Zhishu nodded.
Immediately, a young scholar came over and invited Song Zhishu to the southern Confucian residence.
"Master Zeng, Xiaoyou Song is very determined. Because of the disagreement with his ideas, he still chose to leave despite the invitation from Headmaster Taihao. I am not surprised that he decided to stay in our southern Confucian school."
Looking at Song Zhishu's back, Ning Ping's great scholar was also full of smiles.
"Yes, for being able to ignore the conditions given by the royal sect and the sect and stay in the Southern Confucianism which has no benefits, Song Xiaoyou's character is indeed outstanding." Confucian Li Jing also nodded.
"Who said that there is no benefit to joining our southern Confucian school?"
But at this moment, Zeng Yong spoke again, with an extremely solemn look in his eyes.
