Chapter 2 Le Zhengzi and Fu Nian
This person is about the same age as Han Fei, dressed in a decent outfit, well-dressed, and is obviously also a Confucian child. However, his expression is a little serious, giving people a sense of meticulousness, which is completely different from the debauchery of the former.
When Han Fei saw the comer, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised the half-gnawed grilled fish in his hand and said, "Senior brother came just in time, come and taste the craftsmanship of senior brother." β
"I've already eaten, senior brother, please."
Li Si replied very politely.
"The two senior brothers are so Yaxing, are you still in the mood to enjoy the food at this time?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Senior brother, what happened?" β
When Li Si heard this, his expression moved, and he asked rhetorically: "The master has returned, and the Confucian disciples have already gone to pay a visit, don't you know?" β
Hearing this, Ye Chen was also a little surprised, the master in the other party's mouth is the current head of Confucianism.
However, this person has always been in the palace of King Qi, and rarely stays in Confucianism, but he didn't expect to suddenly come to Xiaoshengxian Village this time.
"Master Bo Nai Qi Guo Taifu, in an important position, there should be something important to come this time, right?"
Li Si replied: "Yes, in a few days it will be the ceremony of sacrificing Confucius, and the master uncle, as the head of Confucianism, will naturally be present." β
Hearing this, Ye Chen also knew in his heart that the ceremony of sacrificing Confucius was a grand event of Confucianism, and important people from Xiaoshengxianzhuang had to attend.
Han Fei on the side exclaimed, then looked at his wet clothes, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle Shi is the most important etiquette, if I am seen like this now, it will be bad." β
"You'd better go and get dressed."
Ye Chen said.
Li Si said: "The master has already arrived, and the other disciples have already rushed over, and the senior brother is afraid that it is too late to change his clothes now." β
"What should I do then?"
Han Fei was full of helplessness.
Ye Chen glanced at him and said, "What else can I do, I can only hope that Uncle Shi won't notice you, let's go." β
As he spoke, he stood up and stepped out.
"Alas~"
Han Fei sighed and had to follow.
In a large hall, there are hundreds of people gathered, all dressed in neat Confucian clothes and well-dressed. Anyone who can have a place in the hall is basically an elite of Confucianism, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to appear here.
Above the chief of the main hall, there are two old men sitting side by side, with white beards and high crowns, and they are wearing high-standard Confucian costumes, giving people a solemn and serious feeling.
One of the old men spoke: "In recent years, I have been walking in the court, and the affairs of the Little Sage Village have been troubled by Senior Brother Lao. β
The other old man smiled slightly, and said quite casually: "Senior brother is polite, while my old bones still have some strength, it is also a good thing to be able to teach a few more students for Confucianism." β
Just as they were talking, Ye Chen, who was on the left side below, also looked at the two of them.
The one who looks more easy-going is now recognized as the number one Confucian Xunzi in the Seven Kingdoms, and he is also his teacher. And another person with a serious face and a poker face is the current head of Confucianism, Le Zhengzi.
Although the two are quite harmonious on the surface, they are actually not as simple as they seem.
The only one who inherited the name of Confucianism after Confucius and Mencius was Xun Kuang, whose status and fame were unmatched among scholars in the world, but he did not become the head of Confucianism.
There are many reasons for this, but the main ones are two.
First of all, Xunzi is not a Confucian descendant of the Red Miaozheng, he studied under the previous Mohist giant Song Yan in his early years, and later stayed in Taoism for a long time, and received a lot of teachings from Zhuangzi.
It wasn't until he was forty years old that he integrated the strengths of each family, achieved his own Confucianism and Taoism, and became a generation of grandmasters.
As for the second point, it is because although Xunzi is a Confucian, he has many arguments that contradict Mencius, which also makes some Confucian scholars unhappy, and it is unfortunate that the current head of Confucianism happens to be Mencius's protΓ©gΓ©.
Therefore, Le Zhengzi and Xunzi are not very good at dealing with each other, but because in recent years, Le Zhengzi has basically assisted the king above the court, and rarely intersected, so he did not have too much unhappiness with Xunzi.
After chatting casually with Xunzi, Le Zhengzi looked at the first row below and said, "Fu Nian, Yan Lu hasn't come to visit the elders of the sect?" β
When the words fell, the two gentle young men stood up and bowed to Xunzi: "The disciple has seen Uncle Shi!" β
Xunzi looked at the two of them for a while, and said: "Yes, the two senior nephews are both the best among people, and it seems that they have learned a lot from their senior brothers over the years." β
Hearing this, a smile also appeared on Le Zhengzi's serious face, and he was still very confident in his teaching level.
Especially the eldest disciple Fu Nian, who is now only twenty years old, has first-class late-stage strength, which can be called amazing.
Martial arts are divided into seven realms, from low to high, they are non-entry, third-rate, second-rate, first-class, congenital, grandmaster, and great grandmaster.
Most of the martial artists are still in the realm of not entering the stream, reaching the third rate is considered a good hand in the rivers and lakes, and the second rate can be called a real master.
If you reach the first-class level, you will be able to leave a lot of fame among the hundreds of schools. As for the innate realm, it is basically a level that can only be reached by the head of the great sect.
In addition, he also has considerable attainments in poetry, writing, etiquette, music, etc., and is even more modest and upright, which can be said to meet all his standards and is cultivated as the future head.
As for the second disciple Yan Lu, although he is also very good, his temperament is too light, and he is not as respectful as Fu Nian. Even in terms of practice, the choice is to sit and forget the mind, and some of them are like Taoists. If it weren't for the trust of the deceased, he might not have included it in the door.
Then his expression moved, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "I remember that the junior brother seems to have three disciples, and he must have made good achievements, right?" β
Hearing this, Xunzi looked at the people on the right side below, and the former also looked over.
Ye Chen and the three of them knew in their hearts, and then got up and saluted: "The disciple has seen the master. β
Le Zhengzi looked at a few people, but when his gaze swept over Han Fei, he frowned slightly: "As a Confucian disciple, you are covered in water stains, what kind of body do you become?" β
Han Fei apologized: "The disciple accidentally fell into the water for a while, and I hope that the master will forgive me." β
In the current situation, he can only respond like this, if he said that he made it like this because he was fishing, he would probably be driven out directly.
