Because of the article "The Doctrine of the Mean", the will of the eight saints arrived in advance, causing visions.
All great scholars know how significant this is, so in this case, they must do something.
In fact, even without the will of a saint, from the perspective of a great Confucian, he fully understands the importance of "The Doctrine of the Mean" to Confucianism, and it can be passed down to future generations. If any school can have some relationship with it, it will be excellent.
Therefore, they know that although they belong to the Southern Confucian school, so what?
In this case, some face can actually be dispensed with.
After all, this is about future generations.
In other words, in their eyes, the current Song Zhishu was second only to the saint in importance.
Regardless of whether it offends the Southern Confucianists or what subsequent impact it will have, it is not important to them at all.
So at this moment, at the venue of the Longyuan Conference, Confucian righteousness continued to vibrate and gathered together. The leaders of those schools all walked down, refusing to give in to each other. Their purpose was simple, they all wanted to win over Song Zhishu.
"this"
Li Cexuan saw this scene with astonishment in his eyes.
He naturally knew what was going on, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Song Zhishu beside him, with a little jealousy in his eyes.
However, as the most outstanding young scholar of the Wang sect, this emotion almost only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, replaced by envy and a kind of helplessness.
Of course, after the appearance of "The Doctrine of the Mean", he did not expect the importance of Song Zhishu, and even the great Confucians had such a reaction.
"Brother Song's talent in Confucianism is probably better than that of you and me." At this time, Zong Li beside him spoke, with a slight smile in his eyes. He was first shocked by the theory that Song Zhishu presented.
All previous Longyuan conferences have been amazing and will attract everyone's attention.
At the same time, Zong Li was not only filled with admiration for the other party's talent, but also felt happy.
Today's Confucianism really needs a few representative figures.
If a saint can appear in a short period of time, it will be a great thing for both Confucianism and the world. Zong Li doesn't mind if it's anyone, and naturally he won't mind if it's Song Zhishu.
"Yes, in addition to that, there is also the article on the principles of university."
Li Cexuan also nodded and said nothing more.
Then they looked at each other and Zong Li, and the two of them left the center of the venue.
Now that the winner has appeared, there is not much point in staying. The leaders of the various university factions are afraid that there will be a big quarrel soon, and they don't want to get involved.
When the seven great Confucians in the meeting saw the leader of their own school coming, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Guyun Daru actually wanted to stop it because he knew what those people wanted to do.
But the leaders of various schools of thought are considered teachers to him.
He spoke hastily.
This is disrespectful to Mr., and I don’t know what to do for a while.
Who can be blamed? If we want to blame, we can only blame Song Zhishu for once again showing his unparalleled talent. After all, articles like "The Doctrine of the Mean" cannot be understood by ordinary scholars.
What a true saint.
at the same time.
The leaders of various university sects also landed in the center of the venue, and each looked at Zhishu Song with a smile on their face.
Obviously, they have made a decision in their hearts to win him over no matter what method they use and what cost they spend.
"Everyone."
But at this moment, a voice sounded.
It was Zeng Yong, the leader of the Southern Confucian School. He also landed directly in the center of the venue. Then without any hesitation, he stood directly in front of Song Zhishu and said to everyone with a smile: "I know that this Longyuan Conference will compete for the first place.
First, it is indeed a good thing, but you don’t need to be so excited. Although we, the Southern Confucians, are number one this time, it is just a fluke."
"I will hold a banquet in the city and have a drink with you all. For now, let's focus on the conference. After all, the conference is not over yet."
After saying this, he looked at Zhishu Song next to him with surprised eyes.
Originally, Zeng Yong didn't have much idea about this conference.
Even if Song Zhishu said that he would participate if he had a new theory, he also felt that it would be really difficult to get the top spot.
But he didn't expect that this time, the other party produced a classic that was no less than the Tao of the University, and even caused the will of the saint to come in advance. Therefore, Zeng Yong could foresee that this "The Doctrine of the Mean" would also have a huge impact on Confucianism.
Influence.
That's why the leaders of those schools chose to leave directly at this time in order to win over them.
But Song Zhishu is also extremely important to Southern Confucianism, especially after the Longyuan Conference.
Therefore, Zeng Yong must have stopped these people, using the excuse that the Longyuan Conference was not over yet.
It should be noted that the Dragon Source Conference was proposed by a saint.
The purpose is to allow better communication among various schools of thought.
Now they actually want to win over Song Zhishu before the conference is over, which is definitely against the rules.
Of course, it seems that this kind of rule does not make much sense now, and the reason why Zeng Yong proposed it was just to shock the leaders of various university sects, not to mention that there were strong men from various major sects present.
And he didn't say it directly, he just said that the reason why the leaders of each school were like this was because the first one was born in the conference.
It's a face-saving gesture.
Sure enough, after Zeng Yong finished what he said, the leaders of the schools present immediately looked at each other.
Under other circumstances, they would not have hesitated at all and would have directly approached them, but as the other party said, this is a grand gathering of Confucianism, and it is of great importance, especially since there are outsiders here, so they need to be cautious.
"Since Brother Zeng has already spoken, we will naturally give him some noodles, but when the time comes, Little You Song must go."
In the end, Zheng Gongwen spoke with a smile, which was considered as a response. He had the official position of Taifu of the Zhou Dynasty, and coupled with his position in Confucianism, his words were indeed effective, and the leaders of the other schools nodded.
In this situation, it would really not be good if a fight breaks out.
Immediately, everyone went back without saying anything.
"Song Xiaoyou, the meeting continues."
Zeng Yong turned his head and looked at Song Zhishu beside him. The surprise in his eyes still did not diminish. He did have a lot to ask in his heart, but he also knew that he could not say more at this time.
After saying this, he turned around and returned to the stands.
Seeing this, Master Gu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.
The other great scholars in charge of judging also walked out immediately.
After the sage appeared before, he recognized the "Golden Mean", which had already determined the first place in this conference.
Of course, this still requires a formal announcement.
Therefore, the seven great scholars, without any hesitation at this moment, looked at everyone present and said directly: "The winner of the Yunzhou Longyuan Conference is the Southern School Song Zhishu!"
