Zhou Qingchen and the others did not stay in Qiyang Palace for long. They sat there for half an hour, chatted for a few words, and then left.
After leaving the palace gate, Fu Sheng immediately darkened his face and said to Zhou Qingchen: "Brother Zhou, how do you feel? Do you still think Fusu is the hope of Confucianism?"
Zhou Qingchen quickly laughed and said: "Brother Fu, why are you so angry? Mr. Fusu is just too young and has no bad intentions."
Fu Sheng sighed: "Having said that, we have to be cautious when it comes to the rise and fall of our Confucian school. Brother Zhou, as the people at the helm of the Confucian school, you and I need to be even more cautious. Some things have to be discussed in the long term."
Zhou Qingchen said displeased: "What's the long-term plan for this? Fusu is already the best choice. There are many supporters. We, the Confucianists, have finally occupied a good position, but we are still dissatisfied? Is it possible that you still want to join Hu Hai?"
"
Fu Sheng nodded seriously: "It's not a bad idea to join Hu Hai. If you bet on both ends, you won't lose anything."
Zhou Qingchen's face froze, and he said coldly: "Brother Fu, don't mention these words again. What our Confucianism preaches is "loyal ministers do not serve the two masters". Bet on both sides. Doesn't this tell the world that I, the Confucianist, are a villain who sits on the fence?
?”
Hearing this, Fu Sheng stopped and looked at Zhou Qingchen coldly: "It seems that Mr. Fusu has given Brother Zhou a lot of benefits. Brother Zhou always represents Confucianism and makes plans for him. When will one or two great Confucians and Confucian scholars make plans for him?"
Can it represent the entire Confucianism?"
Zhou Qingchen's face was gloomy: "Brother Fu, do you mean that I have selfish motives? The initial contact with Fusu was the result of everyone's unanimous decision, and Zhou was just an executor. Now that Zhou is trusted by Fusu, Brother Fu is jealous?"
Zhou Qingchen felt that this trivial matter was not important at all, so Fu Sheng hurried over, thinking of "competing for favor".
Fu Sheng said angrily: "Brother Zhou, please don't treat a gentleman with a villain's heart and think about Confucianism. Brother Zhou, on the other hand, may have selfish motives."
Zhou Qingchen just looked at him and sneered, as if he was watching your performance.
Chunyu Yue looked at the atmosphere and said immediately: "What are you two doing? We are all for Confucianism, we just have different ideas. There is no need to argue. Didn't Confucius say: Don't do to you what you don't want others to do to you?"
Humans? Let’s be considerate of each other.”
Trying to smooth things over.
Fu Sheng bowed to Chunyu Yue and said, "Brother Chunyu is determined. The reason for quarreling is not for personal gain, but actually for the public good. We have to argue with reason."
Zhou Qingchen snorted coldly: "What do you really want? Please make it clear."
Fu Sheng responded calmly: "Gather all the great Confucians in Chang'an and nearby areas, and meet in the Imperial College three days later. After everyone discusses, they will decide on Confucianism's next plan. Confucianism is not just for you and me, we should listen to everyone's opinions."
Zhou Qingchen replied decisively: "Okay, Zhou will just wait for the news about Brother Fu." After saying that, he walked away.
Chunyu Yue excused himself that he had something to do at the government office and left in a hurry.
Fu Sheng looked at Zhou Qingchen's leaving figure and murmured to himself: Brother Zhou, you are a smart man. How could you not have imagined that what everyone is fighting for is not power, but the opportunity to become a master.
Who knows how many martial arts resources the Great Qin Empire still holds that can lead to becoming a master? If there is only one share, how should it be divided?
…
In the Imperial College, Fu Sheng specially set aside a garden and arranged tables and chairs with melons, fruits, snacks, tea and wine, so that the great Confucians could gather.
After dozens of great scholars greeted each other, they sat in small groups, greeted each other like gentle breeze and drizzle, and further discussed a few words about what new insights they had on Confucius's sayings (The Analects of Confucius).
Speaking of wonderful things, and then receiving a few compliments from others, this feeling is simply wonderful.
After everyone arrived, Fu Shengming and a group of Confucian disciples guarded each entrance and exit to prevent others from prying at him.
When all the great scholars saw what Fu Sheng had done, they were secretly frightened. They wondered why he was doing such a big battle.
A great scholar couldn't help but say: "Brother Fu, you have summoned us to gather today, but you don't know what's the matter?"
Fu Sheng said with a serious face: "I take the liberty to invite you all to come here today. We are actually discussing the important matter of the life and death of our Confucian school. I need your generous advice."
Then he told the conversation between Fusu and Emperor Qin, and all the great scholars were in an uproar, looking at Zhou Qingchen with strange expressions.
Zhou Qingchen's face was indifferent, and he looked like he was letting you have your say.
Soon a great scholar retorted: "This shows that Fusu relies heavily on our Confucianism. Isn't Brother Fu a bit too alarmist?"
Another great Confucian then said: "Brother Gong's words are wrong. Once Fusu says these words, what will your Majesty think of my Confucianism? This is very inappropriate. I agree with Brother Fu's statement and should be cautious."
The great scholar surnamed Gong replied: "Brother Meng, don't you think highly of Fusu? I would like to ask, besides Fusu, who else would trust my Confucianism so much?"
Another great scholar asked: "How is Mr. Hu Hai doing?"
The great scholar surnamed Gong replied: "Brother Yan doesn't know something. Compared with the many people who helped Fusu gain enlightenment, not many people in the Qin Dynasty are optimistic about Hu Hai. For Confucianists, the risk is too great."
The great scholar surnamed Meng said: "If Fusu is allowed to do this, our Confucianism is also at great risk. You must know that Fusu is still just a prince after all. Once Fusu hates Emperor Qin, and the Emperor of Qin decides that it is my Confucian instigation, then
It will be the ultimate disaster for our Confucianism."
Zhou Qingchen finally spoke: "Brother Meng, don't worry too much, just give me some advice and help Mr. Su."
When Fu Sheng heard this, he immediately showed a smile: "But Brother Zhou often mentions Fusu, doesn't this still happen? In my opinion, more discussion is needed."
Zhou Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, was he really here to find fault with me? Next, should we suggest sending a few more people to assist Fusu?
Sure enough, a great scholar suggested: "Brother Zhou is usually quite busy, so it is reasonable for him to make some omissions. Why don't we have a few more people on the side to make suggestions?"
After hearing this, everyone's eyes were subtle and thoughtful.
Seeing this, Fu Sheng couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot and said, "What do you think?"
The topic was suddenly ignited. This person said: "It makes sense, one person can only think about shortcomings, and two people can think about longcomings."
The one said: "By gathering the wisdom of everyone, we will be able to teach Fusu better."
Some people also raised objections: "Are we all going to focus on Fusu? Shouldn't Hu Hai also pay attention?"
But it was quickly submerged in the mainstream and disappeared.
Afterwards, many people recommended him as a reliable candidate to assist Fusu, and Zhou Qingchen's face became increasingly ugly.
Some people even fought for the quota and became red-faced.
At this time, Chunyu Yue took a step forward and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. I have a better way. Please listen to me."
Upon hearing this, all the great scholars turned their heads to Chunyu Yue and looked at him with surprise.
Just listen to Chunyu Yue say: "Why are you arguing here? I can understand what you want, but the resources currently mobilized by Fusu are also extremely limited. Why don't you think differently?"
Then, under the watchful eyes of all the great scholars, he said: "Why don't you write to Emperor Qin to restore the feudal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty? As the eldest son and the only son of Emperor Qin, Fusu will not be able to obtain a large fiefdom, so you can naturally help him."
On the land of Su Feng, if you give full play to your talents, you won't have to quarrel here."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.
After a long time, a burst of strong praise suddenly burst out: "Brother Chunyu, you really have real knowledge and insights."
"In this way, with the relationship between my Confucian family and Fusu, in the fiefdom, we no longer need to be restricted by Emperor Qin, and we can spread the words of Confucius to our heart's content."
"Then we have to quickly think about how to persuade Emperor Qin to restore the feudal system."
In an instant, the scholars who had been arguing endlessly reached a consensus.
