The power of Confucianism is not great, this is a relatively interesting topic.

If it is said that there are real swords and guns on the battlefield, then Confucianism must be at the bottom of the three religions, and it is not even worth mentioning. But if we talk about Taoism and influence, Confucianism is very powerful. After all, Confucianism has been setting rules for the world for 2,000 years.

Zhang Yuelu set off a big debate on the spirit of "equality" this time, but its original intention was only to divert attention, and the scope of discussion was also limited to the civil sphere.

But she didn't expect that Qin Lingge and other Confucian people had bad intentions, and took this opportunity to directly shift their focus from "what is equality" to "should be equal", which was out of the so-called civil category, and came towards the Daomen, to put it seriously, this is to shake the country.

Zhang Yuelu must also give a corresponding refutation, otherwise it will be her sin.

Qin Lingge also wrote an article to further elaborate his views on the basis of the previous article: "People don't need this kind of false equality, they need rules and protection, what they need is order, whether it is rules or order, they must be divided into hierarchies, which is Gangchang. The snake cannot do without a head, it has established rules and order, and it also needs a leader to provide protection and restraint for the people, and that is the king. Heaven and earth are the embodiment of the rules of heaven, and Jun is the embodiment of the rules of humanity, so it is said: Heaven and earth are the kings of the teacher."

Subsequently, Zhang Yuelu publicly wrote an article in the newspaper of Qingping Book Company to refute Qin Lingge.

"Equality is a manifestation of fairness and human nature. What kind of prince will Xiangning have? The inner core of this sentence is equality, and those princes and generals must be nobler than us?"

"In the context of Confucianism, because of the Gangchang, it is justified for the monarch to oppress the people, and it is also justified for the officials to exploit the people, but it is unreasonable for the people to rebel, because the latter messes up the Gangchang and is a great rebellion."

"This is why the Daomen proposed, 'There are many reasons for equality, and in the final analysis, it is a sentence that the people are justified in resisting oppression and exploitation, and it is justified in rebellion. Therefore, Confucianism refers to all kinds of rebellion as the closure of heaven and earth, rebellion and chaos, and rebellion, which is wrong from beginning to end. And our Daomen calls it an uprising, which is a move that conforms to the way of heaven and reforms the old and brings forth the new, and it is naturally just."

"The process of the uprising may be accompanied by all kinds of mistakes and chaos, but it is undeniable that the uprising itself is a helpless act of the people at the bottom after they can no longer survive, and its natural justice cannot be denied. This is the origin of equality, everyone is equal, so when others oppress us, we can resist, this is righteous. In essence, everyone is equal, why do you oppress me?"

"But if there is a hierarchy and recognizes the hierarchy, then you will become a parent who is omnipresent in the world, and a monarch father who is omnipresent in the world, and since the monarch must be right, then oppression has become a matter of course, and resistance has become a mistake. Because of the king, the minister, the father, the father, the son, so it is only right for me to oppress you, and even become that you were born to be oppressed."

"For nearly 200 years, is it wrong for the Taoist Sect to strive to make the concept of 'equality deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, breaking the norm, and giving everyone the rightful power to resist oppression?"

As soon as Zhang Yuelu's article came out, the world was shaken.

If Qin Lingge is challenging the "equal" foundation of the Daomen, then Zhang Yuelu is challenging the foundation of imperial power. It's as if two people only attack but don't defend, each holding a sharp sword and stabbing at the other's soft underbelly.

Daxuan's Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately protested to the Daomen, demanding that Zhang Yuelu be severely punished.

Even within the Daomen, there are many opinions, and many people criticize Zhang Yuelu's position as very problematic, and if it is allowed to develop, the consequences will be too terrible.

Many people also sweated for Zhang Yuelu, of course this kind of thing can't be wrong, but it also depends on who says it, Xuan Sheng, it is naturally no problem, and it will even be enshrined as a golden rule, you are a junior, you are really not afraid of losing your head?

At the top of the Dao Gate, the Celestial Master was the first to express his opinion, and there were only four words, that is, "The speaker is not guilty".

Jiang Dazhen also said, "Daomen has never been convicted for his words."

Shi Dazhen put it more concretely: "It's just an argument, a discussion, a debate, just a collision of two different ideas

and discussion, and what is said is about the past, not the present, and has nothing to do with the actual situation, let alone national policy, politics, and system. Theoretically speaking, equality and the program are like yin and yang, they are mutually reinforcing, and there is no equality, how to reflect the program? If there is no program, how can equality be reflected?"

This seemed to set the tone, and the debate on the Daomen side subsided for the time being.

It's just that this controversy has not stopped, and it continues to ferment.

This allowed Zhang Yuelu to achieve its original goal, and no one cared about a report that caught the wind and shadows.

Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.

The great real people and the great grandmasters here almost went out to debate in person, who cares about other trivial matters? Maybe it's a big deal, but it's a small thing in comparison.

However, Zhang Yuelu was still a little afraid, she didn't expect that the people of Confucianism would seize such an opportunity to make trouble, if it really got out of control, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was not Zhang Yuelu's intention to discuss with Qin Lingge, and while she was writing, she also ordered people to find out the true situation of this report as soon as possible, and find out before the heat of the big debate completely subsided.

Of course, it is not only Zhang Yuelu's side that makes efforts, Xu Jiaorong will also make some moves, and the second deputy head of the two major mansions will join forces to conduct a thorough investigation, and they will not find nothing. The key is that Qi Xuansu did not do these things, although he fell into the predicament of self-proof of innocence, but this kind of report letter does not have to be verified completely, as long as it is confirmed that one or two of the key points are false, the report letter can be completely denied.

In fact, this report is not essentially to bring down Qi Xuansu, but to ruin Qi Xuansu's reputation, Qi Xuansu is already young and high-level, and if these things come out again, whether they are true or not, people will associate him with characters like "Prince", once an inherent stereotype is formed, even if it can be confirmed that the report is fake, it is no longer important.

Therefore, when Zhang Yuelu took a great risk of affecting his future and successfully diverted his attention, half of this difficulty had passed.

Therefore, Zhang Yuelu is not just Qi Xuansu's Taoist companion, she is also Qi Xuansu's staunch ally. It's easy to be a Taoist companion, but it's not so simple to be an ally.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu didn't know that so much was going on outside. At this time, he was hiding from the blood moon with Qi Jiaoyao in a small camp.

It was a deserted camp, deserted. However, as the blood moon rose, the dead camp suddenly came to life, and black shadows appeared.

Qi Jiaoyao was well-informed, and said, "The world of shadows has eroded the real world, and the two have begun to merge."

According to Westerners, there is a concept called "subspace", in fact, Dongtian is a kind of huge subspace, in most cases, subspace is actually parallel to reality, and only in rare cases will it overlap with reality. In the history of Daomen, large-scale spatial overlap has only happened once, that is, the Kunlun Cave Heaven landed, and it was said that it landed, but in fact, the Kunlun Cave Heaven coincided with the real world.

It's just that the Kunlun Cave Heaven is too huge, and the whole overlapping process has become extremely long, hundreds of years, so the area of the Kunlun Cave Heaven is constantly shrinking, and when it completely coincides, that is, the Kunlun Cave Heaven has completely disappeared.

The Lingshan Cave Heaven itself is a subspace in the concept of Westerners, and Qi Jiaoyao said that the world of shadows has eroded the real world, and the "real world" here undoubtedly refers to the Lingshan Cave Heaven where they are located, not the human world. In fact, it makes sense, giant caves like Kunlun Cave Heaven and Lingshan Cave Heaven exist in secondary cave heavens, the big cave heaven is attached to the human world, and the small cave heaven is attached to the big cave sky, and the so-called "shadow world" here is actually a secondary cave heaven attached to the Lingshan cave sky.

Qi Xuansu, as a high-grade Taoist priest who has entered the Vientiane Dao Palace three times to study, of course understands these concepts, and there is no need for Qi Jiaoyao to explain too much, and said, "It seems that we have entered the realm of Wuzhen."

Qi Jiaoyao said: "Wu is the first to die in battle, in the first battle of the Heavenly Master Sect's attack on Lingshan, Wu is the only one killed on the spot, and after Wu is dead, the suppression of her is also the harshest. Coupled with Yao Zu's complete transformation of it, as long as we have the C-level authority of Jianxiu Mountain, there is nothing

Dangerous. But Wu is really different, she has probably not been reformed, and she is very dangerous."

Qi Xuansu asked, "Then how did you get past before?"

Qi Jiaoyao replied: "Although Yao Zu did not transform Wu Zhen's remains, he set up a rainbow bridge here, which appears once every sixty blood moons, whether I go to Lingshan or come back from Lingshan, I will take Hongqiao, and now there are still dozens of days before Hongqiao next appears, do you have to wait?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head: "I don't have that much time, so I still don't wait."

The Heavenly Master gave him three hundred days, which seemed to be very generous, but the key was the Spirit Mountain, which was only on the periphery of the Spirit Mountain now, so he had to leave a certain margin in advance, and it was impossible for him to wait here for dozens of days.

As the two of them spoke, there were more and more shadows outside, and even in the temple they were in, a shadow was born.

Looking at its outline, it should be a person of the witch cult, worshipping the totem in the temple devoutly.

Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao then looked at this figure, only to hear him mutter, "Supreme Human Emperor, the four ancestral witches conspired to kill your appointed leader. This kind of action has indeed caused disaster, and the Heavenly Master Sect is coming."

"The Heavenly Master Sect claims to follow the Heavenly Dao, you are the Emperor of Heaven, you are the Emperor of Heaven, is it your will to destroy the Witch Sect?"

"If it is your will, why did we not participate in the murder of the chief? If it weren't for your will, where would we go?"

"The Emperor of Men in the past, the Emperor of Heaven now, please send down a decree to show us the way forward."

"Chapter 2 will be much later, so I don't recommend waiting."
