"As for those mediocre people, hum!" Yan Yuan said with a somewhat indignant look on his face: "Except for the pitiful little profit in his hands, he can't see anything, his eyes are short-sighted!"
Through his narration, I gained a clearer understanding of the past events that once occurred at the core of Confucianism.
At the same time, I also understood why the Supreme Elder, who was once a disciple of an important figure in the Confucian sect, chose to stay away from the center of power and establish an academy in this barren land.
Of course there is something he said, in order to wait for the return of our master one day, is it not because he was squeezed out in the power struggle?
As the youngest disciple of his master at that time, he had not even officially started his apprenticeship. However, he had to face such a complicated situation under the huge pain of uncertain life and death of his fellow disciples. You can imagine the great pressure he endured.
As his disciple, Yan Yuan's tone became more and more angry when describing these things, obviously he was very worried about his master being excluded.
Especially from the fact that he is mediocre in both mouth and mouth, it is not difficult to see the anger in his heart.
Despite his good cultivation as the dean of Qitian Academy, he still couldn't let go of that time, and then started to use foul language, which shows how deeply this incident affected him.
It seems that time does not necessarily only make people forget, some things will ferment in the long river of time, so that the initial emotions are constantly amplified, and then form an irresistible historical torrent that washes across the sky.
From Yan Yuan, I saw the traces of this torrent brewing, and I thought that the Confucian sect would definitely have a brutal power collision in the future.
Those who were marginalized in the past will definitely not be willing to stay outside forever. When the external environment stabilizes, they will definitely make a comeback.
They understand this situation, and naturally so do the so-called "philistines" who are entrenched in power.
There must be an opportunity for all these things to happen. As for what this opportunity is, it is obvious!
"Where's the sect master? Is he still in retreat now?" I asked.
The appearance of the sect leader was the opportunity I thought of!
Because the rapid deterioration of things back then happened after he retreated into seclusion.
Sure enough, when he heard this question, the sadness and anger on Yan Yuan's face disappeared and was replaced by a look of joy that could not be concealed at all.
"Sir, the lord, will be leaving seclusion soon!" He smiled, like a child who had just seen the rising sun.
"Don't look at how those people are having fun now, they will definitely make a list in the future! As long as the sect master can appear by then, everyone will be swept back into the dust of history."
"The current Confucian sect is not what the sect leader likes to see!"
"Did you know? In order to ensure the safety of the sect master, our seniors have been guarding the sect master firmly outside the retreat place since then!"
"Over the years, no matter how the mediocre people occupying the upper echelons infiltrate, they have never been able to get even half a step closer to the retreat, let alone disturb the sect leader's recovery."
"And as the years go on, more and more people volunteer to guard the outside."
"At the same time, because the evil things done by those mediocre people have become more and more excessive over the years, more and more people have begun to become dissatisfied with the status quo."
"The more capable people are, the more so! Because as long as people are not stupid, they can always see through the problem at a glance."
"So in recent years, the internal governance of Confucianism has not always been harmonious."
"In order to stabilize their rule and gain enough security, those at the top have no choice but to appoint a large number of people without hesitation and promote trash people who are worse than them to fill the entire Confucian power system, trying to further muddy the waters.
"
"This can certainly make their side's power expand rapidly in a short period of time, but fundamentally speaking, it is just a way to die!"
"Doing so will only hasten their demise!"
"I don't even think about it, what kind of loyalty can a person promoted like this have? If he himself is a mediocre and rubbish person who cannot stand on the stage, what kind of perseverance and ambition will he have? It's just a piece of loose sand!"
"When faced with even a little bit of pressure, it will fall apart in an instant."
"At the same time, it is precisely because of the existence of these defective products that the current high-level officials have made people angry in a short enough period of time."
"There is no way, any evil they do will be infinitely amplified by these people below, causing unpredictable and devastating consequences."
"Those who were not smart enough to begin with finally came up with some ideas that were not too stupid, but due to lack of execution ability, they were completely screwed up by the fools below."
"It's just a smog!" Yan Yuan cursed, pretending to hate iron.
"You started with a good hand, but you were beaten like this by such a group of fools! Hateful! Hateful! Hateful!"
"If it hadn't been for them, with all three sects in the same state waiting to be revitalized at the same time, why would our Confucian sect be lagging behind others?"
"So much so that those Taoist sects, Buddhist sects, etc. that recovered early have already sat on our heads and shit."
"The Taoist sect is better. It emphasizes purity and inaction and follows nature. The entire sect is relatively worldly and has much less friction with us."
"But Buddhism is different. It is an organization that actively joins the world and promotes its own Buddhism everywhere. It will inevitably have a fierce collision with our Confucianism."
"I get angry when I talk about this! Every time there is friction, the top management has a calm attitude, which directly causes the reputation of our Confucian sect to plummet in recent years."
"Uncle Master, do you still remember the monk named King Kong that you defeated in the Qitian Examination?" Yan Yuan asked, changing the subject.
However, he didn't give me any time to answer, so he continued talking on his own.
"A mere little monk from the Taichu realm actually bullied me, Qitian Academy, with such arrogance! If it were the former Confucian sect, he would have been beaten back!"
"What is the most precious thing about peace and what inspires future generations? Those high-sounding words are just helpless words under humiliation."
"I admit that his talent is indeed very high, but why did he choose to challenge us in the Confucian academy instead of going to the Taoist school's Shanmen to compete?"
"They just think we are easy to bully! And we are easy to talk to. No matter how big the trouble is, we senior Confucian sect will choose to keep things quiet."
"Coward! Really coward!"
"They don't dare to go to the Taoist sect to cause trouble! Even if they have the idea of challenge, they must communicate through formal channels before sending people to discuss, and they must follow the rules agreed in advance."
"Why is this so? It's not because the Taoist sect is strong!" (To be continued)
