When these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone looked at Zhang Huanwen one after another, and their eyebrows were full of surprise.

But seeing that the other party's eyes narrowed, his expression was solemn, obviously not joking, thinking of this, they turned their eyes to look at Lu Ze'an, the dean of the Boundless Academy who was sitting on the stage.

But Lu Ze'an looked at everyone with a smile on his face, never expressed his position, nor did he interrupt Zhang Fafang's rather rude remarks, everyone was not stupid, and naturally they all understood at that moment, all this Zhang Huanwen said was instructed by Lu Ze'an.

Such an idea made the hearts of everyone present chill, and finally understood that this Confucian conference was not a discussion of Taoism at all, but a Hongmen banquet that had been brewed for a long time.

As Wei Lai, who was the first to notice Zhang Huanwen's "abnormality", he naturally thought of using Lu Ze'an to find out what the position of Boundless Academy was, but unfortunately, the answers he could get were no different from what everyone saw. He looked sideways at Li Chenghuang beside him again, but saw that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess looked surprised, and looked sideways at Li Xiubai, the god general behind him, with an ugly face, but the other party looked straight ahead calmly, and turned a deaf ear to Li Chenghuang's inquiry, obviously, Li Chenghuang didn't know about this matter.

"It has been more than 100 years since the Confucian Conference was held, and it is a grand gathering of scholars from all over the world! The princes gathered here from thousands of miles to discuss the Confucian Dao, not to be a tool for Mr. Zhang's vassal power!" Just when everyone was secretly frightened by this change, an old man sitting in the tail seat of this group of people suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhang Huanwen and rebuked loudly.

The old man's figure was thin and thin, with a sheep's horn beard, and the Confucian shirt he was wearing was a little shabby, and his outfit seemed to be from the Jin Kingdom. In recent years, the Jin State has been in a difficult situation under the attack of Ghost Rong and Nanzhao, and it is rumored that there are many voices in the Jin Kingdom who blame this situation on Murong Jian, the Confucian general who led the army to resist the invasion.

This sounds ridiculous, but the truth is that at some point, the more absurd the statement in this world, the more people are willing to believe it.

In recent years, the anti-Confucian voice in the Jin Kingdom has become more and more intense, and fortunately, the monarch has maintained it in many ways, which has given the Confucian students a ray of life.

Hearing such words at this moment, it is reasonable to be excited.

When Zhang Huanwen heard the old man's reprimand, his face remained the same, and he said: "Why should Mr. Xu be angry, isn't this action for the Confucian Conference?"

"If you think about it, when I go to the north with Emperor Chu, I will always promote Confucianism and Taoism, and the world is full of Confucianism, where can I not talk about Taoism, and why worry that the way of sages and sages will not prevail! Isn't this a good thing?"

Zhang Huanwen's words were of course unreasonable, but the Confucian scholars in the audience did not dare or were unwilling to conflict with him at this juncture, and they all chose to silence themselves. Only the old man surnamed Xu flicked his sleeves when he heard this, and said coldly: "The law of Confucianism is based on benevolence, sages have clouds, and soldiers are ominous weapons, and sages have to use them as a last resort." ”

"The saint still doesn't dare to move the weapon, how can Emperor Chu use it?"

"Besides, the way of killing is contrary to Confucianism and Taoism, and the way of killing is to seek benevolence, how can it be successful to sacrifice the original and the end, does Zhang Gongzhen treat him as a three-year-old child?!"

"There is a way that is different and does not conspire with each other, my Jin Kingdom Confucianism is declining, but I also know what integrity is, and you have a great career in the endless academy, but you have already left only the splendid clothes and bones, old and shabby, I dare not sit with the princes again, so I will leave!"

After saying this, the old man turned around and led several young Confucian scholars behind him to leave.

And some of the surrounding Confucian scholars saw this, and there were many people who moved, all the things that happened in the Boundless School Palace at this moment have been decoupled from the Confucian and Taoist conferences, and it is meaningless to stay, and it is impossible to say that it will cause any trouble, seeing that the old man surnamed Xu is about to leave, those who are unwilling to get involved in this matter involving the dynasty dispute also make a gesture to get up and leave.

But when such a thought arose, Zhang Huanwen's eyes standing in the middle of the courtyard suddenly narrowed, he looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, please stay." ”

And as soon as he said this, several figures suddenly poured in from the direction of the palace gate and stopped in front of the palace gate, and at the same time, two people slowly closed the palace gate at that time, isolating all the people outside the palace gate who had not yet figured out what was going on.

This posture has obviously clearly told everyone that Boundless Academy does not intend to let everyone leave so easily today. In addition to these, what surprised everyone even more was that those who suddenly poured out to guard the palace gate were dressed in the armor of the Great Chu system. Although at the beginning, after Zhang Huanwen said those words, everyone realized that he must have been instructed by the Great Chu Royal Court, but when these armor soldiers appeared, they were sure of such speculation.

And the Chu State armor came forward to imprison the Confucian scholars from various countries, which means that the Chu Emperor is ready to declare war on the countries, such a thought surfaced in the minds of everyone, and everyone's hearts were terrified, and everyone realized that some catastrophe that could sweep or even subvert the entire northern territory was ready to go, and the terrible thing was that no one had noticed the change of the Great Chu before this.

When everyone was thinking about this, Li Xiubai, who was standing behind Li Chenghuang, suddenly stepped out and walked to Zhang Huanwen's side, he looked at the many Confucian students with frightened faces, squinted and smiled, and said: "You don't have to panic, Li Xiubai canonized the order of the saint and entertained you in the academy, most of you have come from afar, rest for a few more days, so that Li can fulfill the friendship of the landlord on behalf of His Majesty." ”

When Li Xiubai saw the words before, those Confucian students looked ugly, and even some of them secretly urged the spiritual power in their bodies.

He then said again: "You are in this boundless academy, the library of the academy will be opened for you, and the ancient books in the pavilion will be open for you to read......

Among the many Confucian scholars who had just said this, their faces changed, but they were no longer frightened and angry, but they were salivating.

Boundless Academy is a sacred place of Confucianism and Taoism in the north, and its library contains countless unique books of various classics, and for Confucian students, it is a lifelong wish to be able to read these ancient books. But just as the sect attaches great importance to the exercises, each academy also attaches great importance to its own collection of books, and it is impossible to easily let outsiders look at it, so it is conceivable how huge the bargaining chips Li Xiubai opened at this time are for these Confucian students.

But before those Confucian scholars could fully digest it, the corners of Li Xiubai's mouth rose and said again: "Of course, if you want to see those books, you have to help in the next one." ”

"It's not a big deal, it's a real little favor. ”

"You need to repair two letters, one to your sect, to tell the disciples and grandchildren of Mr. Zhang and you today, and explain that the unification of the north is a good thing for a thousand years, and the people of the north can enjoy peace forever from now on, and the Confucian road can also be promoted to the world, by the way, let them spread this letter, so that the people can understand the good intentions of His Majesty. ”

"And the other letter is sent to the king of your royal court, explaining the stakes, and it is a good thing to be able to move him to sacrifice and dispense with the sword, but if the other party is stubborn, I will not hold a grudge against you, and will still regard you as friends. ”

"With just two letters, you can take all the library of the Boundless Academy into your arms......

"You think it's ......"

"How?"

......

Li Xiubai's voice fell, and the entire Boundless Academy fell into a deathly silence at that time.

No one dared to answer Li Xiubai's question.

Agreeing to Li Xiubai's request is equivalent to agreeing to betray the country and seek glory, and if he doesn't agree, with the posture that Li Xiubai and Boundless Academy are putting on at this moment, it is obvious that he will not give up easily.

Even in the hearts of everyone, it is difficult to resist the temptation of the library pavilion, but no one will be willing to be this rising bird, and be ridiculed by others, just when everyone is silent, waiting for the first person to respond to this matter.

The old man surnamed Xu let out a cold snort, and said with a brushing of his sleeves: "Hmph!

"Xu Moushi received the favor of the Jin Kingdom, and he wants to let the old man do that betrayal of the country to seek glory! It is better for the general to kill the old man now!"

The attitude of the old man surnamed Xu was resolute, and there was no intention of compromise, and the Confucian scholars around him were a little moved when they heard this.

But Zhang Huanwen stepped forward at that time and said: "Mr. Xu, what are these words, you are our honored guest, how can we kill you?"

"It's just that Mr. is old and inconvenient to write, so someone will naturally help Mr. write later, and Mr. just rests. ”

Zhang Huanwen's words, everyone's hearts suddenly chilled, although at the beginning everyone had expected the battle set up by the Boundless Academy, but after hearing Zhang Huanwen's words, they understood that the overall situation of today's matter has been decided, and now they are fish and meat, and others are swordsmen, and everything is no longer up to them.

And most of them are people at the helm level of the various academies, with their status, what role the persuasion letter can play in their respective kings is not shown for the time being, but it will inevitably cause an uproar in their respective sects, if the disciples in the sect are eager to save people's hearts, they will really publicize the content of this letter, with their identity and the status of their sects, it will definitely have a great impact on their respective dynasties, although it will not shake the foundation of the dynasty, but it is enough to bury the root of the curse.

Everyone was silent, and everyone who had just had the heart to leave sat in place, without the courage to leave.

The old man surnamed Xu glanced at the people who sat back with their heads bowed, and said coldly: "Greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

When those Confucian scholars heard the old man's words, they lowered their heads a little deeper, and their faces were ashamed, but after all, they could not resist the fear of death and did not dare to make a sound.

"The old man is leaving now, if you want to keep me, then you can give it a try!" After the old man surnamed Xu said this, he did not hesitate at all, turned around and led his entourage of juniors to leave.

Zhang Huanwen and Li Xiubai saw this situation in their eyes, they probably didn't expect that under such intimidation, there would be someone who dared to oppose them.

But this is not a difficult task, in a sense, they can better control the group of people in front of them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huanwen nodded at Li Xiubai, Li Xiubai knew the other party's intentions, and at that time, he took a step and was about to make a move.

Wei Lai saw this situation in his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but stand up after all. Although he admired the old man's demeanor, after all, he was not related to the other party, and there was no need to offend such a behemoth as the Boundless Academy for the sake of the old man.

The reason why Wei Lai chose to make a move at this time is nothing more than realizing that his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, if Da Chu is ready to make a move against the northern countries, then Ningzhou will not be spared, not to mention anything else, it is difficult to leave this boundless academy and return to Ningzhou, if he allows the old man surnamed Xu to be killed at this moment, it is equivalent to letting his only possible ally at the moment die, and he can't sit idly by.

But at this moment, a cold sound suddenly came from not far away.

"Hmph!" A Confucian student suddenly stood up, he patted the desk in front of him and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, Qin will go with you!"

The person who got up was Qin Xiang of the Qingying Academy, and after he said this, he took two of his fellow disciples to the side of the old man surnamed Xu in unison.

This situation made everyone present stunned, and Zhang Huanwen and Li Xiubai also changed their faces and their expressions became solemn.

Before this, they never thought that it would be Qin Xiang who would be the person who was in line with this old man to make trouble.

After all, what they did today was in the final analysis at the behest of the Chu Imperial Court, and there was no harm to the Qingying Academy, which was already in the Chu Kingdom, so why did Qin Xiang have a corrupt Confucian from the Jin Kingdom to be an enemy of the Boundless Academy and even the Great Chu Imperial Court?

"Mr. Qin, you have to figure out what you're doing!" Li Xiubai was born in the army, and he didn't have the slightest tolerance for Qin Xiang's behavior, so he asked in a cold voice.

"Naturally, I understand. Qin Xiang replied calmly.

"Do you want to let the hundred-year inheritance of the Qingying Academy be buried in your hands?" Zhang Huanwen, who was on the side, stepped forward and squinted his eyes and asked again.

Qin Xiang silently straightened his sleeves, and then spoke.

"Mr. Zhang is a great talent, and Qin doesn't dare to compare with you. But I remember a sentence that my master gave me when I was six years old, and I still don't dare to forget it. ”

"At this Confucian Conference, Mr. taught me a lot. ”

This parting, there is nothing long, so I will give this words to Mr. ”

"The jade festival is broken, and the human festival is death. ”
