It turns out that the reason why Guigumen jumped out so anxiously was because of this.
Thinking about it, in today's world, it seems that only Xia Yu can withstand the pressure of Confucianism and teach hundreds of schools of thought on a large scale.
Whether it is French, Mohist, military, Zongheng, or small-scale spread, Confucianism may still acquiesce.
But whoever dares to run a large-scale school and recruit apprentices will inevitably be severely suppressed by the Confucian sect. For hundreds of years, no one has been able to do so.
Otherwise, Guigumen would not have remained dormant to this day.
Speaking of which, Xia Yu is also an anomaly.
With his outstanding achievements and outstanding talents during the Eastern Expedition, Xia Yu had a huge influence in both the literary and martial arts circles of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and his son, for their own reasons, all expressed goodwill to Xia Yu.
For a time, no one in the court, except the Confucian sect, opposed Xia Yu's running of the school. This was simply unbelievable in the past.
And Confucianism is at its lowest ebb due to the hundreds of years of war since the end of the Jin Dynasty.
All these coincidences allowed Xia Yu, the fierce dragon crossing the river, to cut a bloody path and tear open a gap in the Iron Curtain.
Middle-aged scribes are not fools.
He knew that this might be the best opportunity for Guigu Sect to revive. If he missed it, perhaps no matter how strong Guigu Sect was, it would only be lost in the dust of history.
Therefore, he could only walk from behind the scenes to the stage, and he could only lower his arrogance and talk about cooperation with Xia Yu.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled.
This is a matter of mutual benefit, so how could he not agree?
The unified theory and moral education of Confucianism are beneficial to China, and he will not turn a blind eye to its progressive significance.
But Xia Yu also hated the Confucian school's xenophobia, tyranny, and stupidity.
Therefore, in order to make the Tang Dynasty more powerful and lasting, Confucianism could exist, but it would inevitably be suppressed and transformed to make it progress.
When a hundred schools of thought contended and a hundred flowers bloomed, this was the true prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
"Juzi is serious. I am a disciple of Guigu after all. The sect is willing to give strong support. Of course I am happy to see it succeed."
When the middle-aged scribe heard this, he was overjoyed. He did not expect Xia Yu to be so cheerful.
To be honest, he originally regarded Xia Yu as a pawn, trying to find a way out, with the mentality that no matter whether he won or lost, it would not hurt Guigumen.
But I never expected that Xia Yu was so fierce!
During the Eastern Expedition, he actually assisted Li Shimin to kill the two great heroes Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, rising like comets in the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, Xia Yu's literary talent was unparalleled. In half a year, he became a literary master and was widely praised throughout the world.
What shocked the middle-aged scribes even more was that as soon as Xia Yu returned to court, he took advantage of the opportunity to directly start a war with the Confucian sect, and even won!
So tough and tough, he is the only one in history!
This is no longer a pawn in front of the arch, but a fierce dragon crossing the river!
Therefore, the situation between the two parties at this time is:
Xia Yu's wings are full, and now he no longer needs to rely on Guigumen's signboard!
But if Guigumen wants to revive, it must rely on Xia Yu's power!
The dynamics of host and guest have been reversed.
"Okay, okay, Xiwen is indeed an unparalleled strategist, a wise man and an open-minded man." The middle-aged scribe smiled happily and immediately said: "When the academy is completed, if you need teachers, I will do my best to help."
"There will definitely be trouble for Juzi at that time." In this way, the two parties reached an agreement.
"By the way," the middle-aged scribe said with a smile: "With the blessing of Xiwen, now my Guigu Sect has a great reputation and has benefited a lot. Therefore, I have discussed with the sect, and I will accept you as my disciple, and
Promoted to the position of worshiping elder, the status is the same as that of me."
Xia Yu is now powerful and famous. If the middle-aged scribe dares to treat him as an ordinary disciple and thinks of bossing him around, it will only lead to a breakup between the two parties.
Therefore, he painstakingly thought of a way to act as a teacher and accept a disciple, to show his equal cooperation with Xia Yu.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Xia Yu was very happy, as long as everyone is equal, but he was annoyed by someone who didn't understand and pointed fingers at him.
As he spoke, he winked at Han Ni in an encouraging manner.
Well now, this little girl no longer wants to be a senior sister, she has directly become a senior nephew.
Han Ni was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do about the teacher's decision, so she could only turn her head away with a groan.
"By the way, junior brother came to Chang'an for the first time, so I'm afraid there will be no one available. These two scoundrels around me still have some skills. From now on, they will follow junior brother and serve them. What do you think?"
The middle-aged scribe called "junior brother" affectionately while continuing to express his kindness.
Xia Yu was stunned. Indeed, he had just come to the Tang Dynasty and his foundation was too weak. There were very few private forces that could be used secretly.
And the Guigu disciples must be outstanding men of their generation, and having two people to help them is really like a tiger with even more wings.
"Senior brother, I appreciate your kindness." Xia Yu immediately affectionately called him 'senior brother'. When it comes to acting, he is not bad at all.
"In that case, I will take my leave." The middle-aged scribe stood up with satisfaction.
Xia Yu was stunned and quickly persuaded her to stay: "This is my first visit, senior brother, you might as well stay for dinner."
"No, I still have something to do. I'll wait for my junior brother to get married and then come over for a wedding banquet. If there's anything urgent, just tell your two junior nephews, they know where to find me."
Immediately, the middle-aged scribe looked at the two apprentices and said solemnly: "You two must obey my uncle's instructions and not be negligent. Otherwise, you will be severely punished by the sect's rules."
"Yes, Master." The young man with the knife clasped his fists respectfully.
"Yes, Master." Han Ni was a little nervous, as if she had the mentality of a reluctant little daughter, but she could only accept her fate.
"Junior brother, I will take my leave now."
"Okay, okay, I'll see my senior brother off."
After seeing off the middle-aged scribe, Xia Yu learned that the great man of this generation was called Meng Gui, and he was the disciple of He Ye, the great man of the previous generation.
Xia Yu finally knew the identities of her master and senior brother.
Returning to the study, she saw that the knife-carrying guy and Han Ni were still waiting for him to make arrangements. Xia Yu looked at Han Ni and wanted to laugh.
Han Ni's face turned purple when she saw it, and she glared at Xia Yu angrily, feeling that this guy was not a good person and would tease her every time they met.
The guy carrying the knife was afraid that her petite temper would break out and cause trouble, so he gave her a warning look.
Han Ni had no choice but to endure her anger and turned her head away.
Xia Yu secretly laughed: Now, this little girl is in his hands. He didn't continue to tease her, so he turned to the guy with the knife and said, "What's your name?"
"Come back to my uncle, my nephew Zuo Hui." The young man with the sword hurriedly answered with his fists clasped, looking neither humble nor overbearing, showing the demeanor of a general.
"Well, what are the specialties of both of you? I can only use it if I can measure it." Xia Yu knew that the Guigu sect was proficient in all kinds of arts, but she didn't know what they had learned.
"Back to my nephew, my nephew is practicing martial arts, military strategy, riding and shooting, and he has achieved some success."
Zuo Hui looked at Han Ni, fearing that the little girl was being petty and refused to answer, so he said instead: "Junior sister is good at spy information, Qi Men Dun Jia, close kung fu, and swordsmanship."
Xia Yu was stunned and a little surprised. She didn't expect that a pretty girl like Han Ni could be so capable!
Seeing the weird look on someone's face, Han Ni wanted to bite him again.
"Haha..." Xia Yu quickly laughed: "Okay, okay, there is really no weakling in our Guigu sect! Well, uncle, I have also accepted a disciple, named Su Dingfang, and I have called him to get acquainted with you."
Immediately, he walked outside the door and gave instructions to Yinping, who hurriedly went to look for Su Dingfang.
"Uncle Master," Zuo Hui took two steps forward as soon as Xia Yu returned to the house: "I have news. My nephew heard that the Confucian sect is plotting against you."
Xia Yu was shocked: He had just learned about this. Did Guigumen also know about it? His heart moved: "There is a spy network in Chang'an?"
Zuo Hui seemed to have received Juzi's instructions and did not hide it. He smiled and said: "Uncle Master Yingming. I am a sect in Guigu and am proficient in various arts, including business. In the past, Bai Gui, the Shang Sage of the Warring States Period, was a disciple of this sect.
"
"Although our sect has been hidden underground for hundreds of years, we cannot lose financial support. Therefore, we organized a merchant sect to do business and also collected various information."
"Nowadays, merchant sects have spread all over the world and are strong. As a powerful city in the world and the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is naturally the key location for our sect."
"Excellent!" Xia Yu was overjoyed. He was worried about not having any personal power. As soon as Guigu Sect came, he would make up for his shortcomings. He immediately said: "You immediately tell Shang Sect to pay attention to the movements of Confucian Sect.
Feel free to report back.”
"Yes, uncle." Zuo Hui respectfully accepted the order.
"Also," Xia Yu whispered: "Let the merchants shrink their business in Hebei, and at the same time, pay close attention to the situation in Hebei."
Zuo Hui was startled: "Uncle Master, there is going to be chaos in Hebei? But isn't Daxia dead?"
"Dead?" Xia Yu sneered: "Haven't you heard of 'resurrection'? Don't ask too much, you will know when the time comes."
"Yes, uncle." Zuo Hui didn't dare to ask any more questions.
At this moment, Su Dingfang walked in. He and Ling Jing were fighting inextricably, and when they came here, they were still a little reluctant to leave.
"Teacher, can you call me?"
"Dingfang," Xia Yu pointed at Zuo Hui with a smile, and Han Ni said, "I've come to see our sect's Pao Ze. This is your senior brother Zuo Hui and senior sister Han Ni."
Su Dingfang did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "My younger brother, Su Dingfang, has met Senior Brother Zuo and Senior Sister Han."
Zuo Hui smiled and returned the greeting: "But I have heard of my junior brother's name, Xia Guoxiao General, a young leader, but I didn't expect that I would become a fellow disciple."
Su Dingfang said with shame: "Ashamed, a false reputation is not worth mentioning. In the future, I will ask my senior brother for more advice."
Xia Yu smiled and said: "This is appropriate. Your senior brother Zuo happens to be specialized in military strategy and battle formations. You two can learn more about each other in the future."
Su Dingfang was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, you take your two senior brothers and senior sister to settle down. Instruct Xia Hong to make sure everything is properly arranged so that there are no shortages."
He then said to Zuo Hui and Han Ni: "From now on, this palace will be your home. Don't let anyone see you outside."
"Yes, uncle."
Zuo Hui nodded happily.
He was also worried that Xia Yu would have an awkward relationship with Guigumen, or that he would be aloof and unruly and difficult to get along with, but now it seemed that he was completely overly worried.
