On the Baihu Street in the inner city of Beijing, two luxurious and unusual carriages rumbled over on the road, attracting pedestrians and traders on both sides to stop and watch one by one, talking about each other.

These two carriages are all eight cars, and in this specification alone, they have reached the level of the prince of Dali, and only the three princes of Jin, Dingxi and Xian can ride. If the others went out in such a carriage, the next day, the impeachment recital of the Ministry of Rites would be sent to Liu Xuanzong's imperial study like snowflakes.

The people of Beijing, although they don't know the cars of the three princes well, have seen them more than several times, and naturally recognize that the two carriages rumbling in front of their eyes are not the cars of any of the three kings, and they can't help but be curious, wanting to see who is sitting inside, and dares to break this etiquette rule so blatantly.

Some people who were fortunate enough to witness the Central Sacred Dynasty chariot and horse procession entering Beijing were a little proud at this time, and introduced the origin of these two carriages to their friends and companions. It seems that recognizing these two carriages from the Central Holy Dynasty is a face-saving thing.

"Hehe, although Dali's national strength has developed rapidly over the years, it is only a small country in the eastern part of the continent after all. In one of the carriages, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe, through the curtains, looked at the strange appearance of the people on the road, and smiled very contemptuously, "In the final analysis, it's just a turtle with a little strength." ”

"The people are so stupid, so the saints have to come out to educate the common people, open academies, and explain the truth of learning. Using these street people to comment on a dynasty and country, Prince Gong, you are a bit of a generalization. In the carriage, another person looked at the middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe and said leisurely.

There were only two people in the whole spacious carriage.

One was Prince Gong from the Central Holy Dynasty, and the other was an old man dressed in a Confucian robe, who looked to be in his early sixties, and looked like he had passed the age of sixties.

"Old Zhou, I don't like to hear what you say. Prince Gong retracted his gaze, looked at the old man opposite, and said lightly, "If the people are stupid, the country will be prosperous and peaceful, and if the people are wise, the country will be prosperous and chaotic." The scene in the sage's mouth that 'heaven and earth are for the common good, which is called great harmony' is just a beautiful fantasy. People's hearts are ever-changing, and their desires are difficult to fill, and if they want to manage a dynasty and country to the realm of 'indisputable world' in the mouth of saints, I don't think it's possible at all!"

After a pause, he shrugged his shoulders, and without waiting for the old man to open his mouth to refute, he added: "I know that when you say this, Old Zhou, you must not like to hear it." However, please forgive this king for bluntly saying that in addition to containing foreign forces and preventing them from truly invading the Central Continent, you Confucianism can be said to be of limited help to the ruling and development of the major dynasties. ”

Zhou Lao snorted coldly, and said with a little anger: "Prince Gong, please pay attention to the proportions of your words!"

Prince Gong shrugged his shoulders again, picked up a jade teacup on the coffee table in front of him, took a sip, smacked his lips and said: "That's the case, this is a fact, it's useless to deny it, Old Zhou." Even the saints have said that 'Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts'. Your Confucianism is indeed a door of convenience, teaching the people of the world the truth of the scriptures, helping them to get rid of ignorance and open up wisdom. ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked out of the window again: "But, as I just said, the people are ignorant, although the dynasty and the country may be inactive, but because it is easy to rule, the country is bound to be too peaceful, and there will be no ****; ”

Zhou Lao snorted coldly: "Is this the fault of my Confucianism? A country that is busy, even if there will be no internal turmoil, is bound to be invaded by other dynasties and countries, and eventually the country will be destroyed! Such an example, is it not enough on the Zhongzhou continent! If it were not for my Confucianism to educate the people, so that the people gradually gained wisdom, I don't know that there are still too few countries to be destroyed and completely disappeared from this continent!"

"This is just a means of your Confucianism. Prince Gong looked at the scenery outside the car window, and replied with a salty mouth, "If you read a lot of books, you will have all kinds of ideas in your head. If you don't let you scholars have something to do, once you have free time, you have to think about something that will harm the country. That's why we have to open the imperial examination, so that you scholars can have something to do for the rest of your life. Old Zhou, to be honest, isn't this what you Confucian sects hoped for at the beginning? We were forced to let Confucian disciples enter the court as officials, and in the end, it developed into a situation where only Confucian students could enter the court and become officials. ”

When he said this, his voice paused slightly, and then said with a faint hint of mockery: "If it weren't for the emergence of Confucianism and the hundred schools of thought, I'm afraid the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have been destroyed so quickly and completely." As a descendant of the Great Zhou royal family, Zhou Lao finally became a Confucian, which is probably the impermanence of the world. ”

"Prince Gong!" Old Zhou's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Don't think that you are also a son of one of the four great imperial families, so you can so openly judge my Zhou family! If there is no Zhou family, the Central Holy Dynasty may not be much stronger than this Dali now! When you Prince Gong entered the palace before, you would never dare to be so arrogant to Emperor Dali!"

Prince Gong let out a "hehe" and shrugged, but did not respond to his words.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Lao frowned, and stopped talking.

In the midst of this silence, two eight-seated carriages slowly stopped.

"Wenqu Pavilion, let me see how much the Wenqu Pavilion of Dali is different from that of my Central Holy Dynasty. Although Prince Gong is already in his forties and middle-aged, he is still like an ordinary aristocratic teenager, very playful, and before the carriage can stop completely, he jumps with a tiger leap, lifts the curtain and jumps down.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Lao frowned again, but he didn't say anything, and when the carriage stopped, the coachman raised the curtain for him, and then walked down in a hurry.

As soon as he got out of the car, he heard Prince Gong's undisguised voice: "Where are those boys of the Xiansheng Academy playing in the 'righteous qi hall'? Hurry up and lead the way for this king! This king can't wait to see what these natives of the Xiansheng Academy have been tricked into by the geniuses of our Central Holy Dynasty!"

Zhou Lao smiled faintly, shook his head, and strode in.

Although he felt that Prince Gong's shouting and shouting behavior had lost the demeanor of the royal family of the Central Holy Dynasty, he had no intention of reminding or stopping him.

After all, in his opinion, Prince Gong's words, said so unscrupulously, are obviously suspected of provocation here, but they are also a big truth.

If Meng Tiance was still in the Ancestral Saint Academy, he might still be worried that this group of geniuses transferred from the Hundred Saints Academy would be deflated here. However, Meng Tiance had already graduated, not to mention, he was kidnapped by a foreign force seven years ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

Without Meng Tiance's Xiansheng Academy, who would be the opponent of the group of cross-river dragons of the Hundred Saints Academy?

Even he thinks like this, let alone Prince Gong.

"What's going on! This king is here in person, why don't you Wenqu Pavilion Confucianism want to come out at once. After Prince Gong finished drinking, he saw that there was only one person who looked like a shopkeeper coming to greet him, and he immediately snorted coldly and put on a face, "You quickly go and inform the great Confucian of your Wenqu Pavilion, just say that Prince Gong of the Central Holy Dynasty and the great Confucian of the Zhou family have come together!"
