"What?"

"How so?"

"Why did Fanren choose science and abandon Confucianism?"

"Is it true that science is better than Confucianism?"

When the Confucian officials and students heard this, they were immediately in an uproar, and the eyes that looked at the Confucian brothers instantly became wonderful!

"Of course! That's my Heavenly Learning!"

Song Huizong looked proud, and became more and more determined to replace Confucianism with science, but everyone in the world was out of Confucianism, which made him a little difficult to operate.

Lu Yihao and Gao Yu looked at Kong Duancao and Kong Duanyou mockingly.

Kong Duancao was dumbfounded, his entire old face turned the color of pig liver, and he glared at the messenger angrily:

"What bastard are you talking about? The learning of my Confucian sages, how broad and profound, is it not as good as the dross of science? Is it true that you have admired my Confucian Confucianism before?"

"Humph!"

A tiger-skinned envoy said coldly, "Every time we come to the Middle Earth court to see us, your Kong family will help fight for a generous reward, and if you commit a crime, you will also help us cover up and exonerate, so we naturally want to be grateful and praise you.

But now that you want to get a few broken books and send us away, do you know how much it will cost me to wait for this trip? How long does it take to walk?

How can we account to the lord of the kingdom without bringing something useful and valuable?"

"That's it!"

The rest of the envoys nodded in agreement.

"You ......"

Kong Duancao's eyes turned blue with anger, and he shouted in unacceptable anger: "Do you think that science is more useful than the learning of my Confucian sage?"

"Of course! Although we are outsiders, we also know how much value Limen has created and solved in less than half a year.

Who doesn't want their people to be as happy and prosperous as the people of Yuqing Villa?"

The tiger-skinned man replied in a very affirmative tone.

"You're wrong! His old Kong family doesn't want his people to live well!

Because the Confucianism they are advocating now is the Confucianism that has been emasculated by Dong Zhongshu and Shang Jun, and the five techniques of the people (unified control of the people's minds), the weak people, the tired people, the humiliating people, and the poor people under the cover of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Whoever dares to speak for the people and change the situation of the people, they will label whoever is not a saint and a disrespectful ancestor, and incite Confucian officials and students to suppress and kill together!

Even the Emperor of the Divine Sect who changed the law was almost lifted off the dragon chair by their sage words!"

Jiang Chen interjected with a sneer, which immediately attracted the hateful eyes of hundreds of people towards the Kong family, and even some civil officials and Confucian scholars showed complicated expressions.

Lu Yihao was even more aggrieved and shouted: "This official is a lesson from the past! It's just that I didn't hold back after drinking, saying that the Confucians had created some mediocre people who talked rhetorically and didn't distinguish between grains, and they were smeared and suppressed by the Kong family for several years, and people disliked them.

But really, how could this official ever do something that misled the country and harmed the people? Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

"That is, the old Kong family's identity as the leader of the literary world who controls the world's scholars is indeed too domineering! They are ...... in Shandong."

Gao Yu and Zhu Yinian, as well as some military attachés, nodded in agreement.

"Shut up!

How can the Confucian Holy Gate allow you and other vulgar people who do not respect saints and have no ancestors to question them?"

Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others jumped out one after another.

And Kong Duanyou glared at the envoys with red eyes and said:

"How can the lowly craftsmanship and the skill of the flattering gentleman be compared with the profound learning of the sage? Do you dare to dishonor the saints even among the people who are not just outside you?"

Kong Duanyou first calmed the envoy, and then said in a soothing tone: "How much money you need for carriages and horses to come and go, and how hard it is, Benyan Holy Father knows it.

Therefore, for the sake of the face of the imperial court, in addition to giving you the words of the saints, all the money and goods are according to the precedents, and there is no defect.

Don't say these angry words again, slander the sage learning of my Confucian family, and belittle the Confucian disciples of the Manchu Dynasty!"

Kong Duanyou's meaning

Thinking obviously, the money will be given to you as usual, but if you dare to talk nonsense and disrespect the Confucian family, you will be the enemy of the Manchu civil officials and the entire Confucian family.

The messengers heard his threat, but they didn't care much, all they cared about was the money and the harvest of the trip.

Seeing that there was money to be gained, he immediately turned his anger into joy and said, "Such a little envoy and others are grateful to the Holy Father of Yan!"

"Actually, we have always admired your Confucian Confucianism! Fang just lost his words, please don't blame the Holy Father!"

The messengers apologized.

Gao Yu and other clear-eyed people saw that their faces were full of sneers, and they shook their heads one after another.

Lu Yihao even said to Kong Duanyou: "Master Kong is really bold enough, no wonder people from other countries are full of praise for the Kong family!"

Hmm-

Kong Duanyou was so angry that his old face was about to drip black water, but he didn't refute the facts in front of him.

In his heart, he was thinking about how to use the Confucian family to control the discourse power of the Yanxia literary world for more than 1,000 years, and afterwards beautify himself and scandalize Jiang Chen.

Just as he thought that he could buy the tiger-skinned man and let him point out that what he said just now was caused by Jiang Chen's coercion and temptation, a guard of honor of nearly 100 people entered the venue.

Immediately, a eunuch trotted over with a happy face, bowed to Song Huizong and said, "Official, the envoy of Dongying, Da Nayanfang, Xinqing, came to the court with a letter of state!"

"Oh? Dongying Messenger? Hurry up, please!"

Song Huizong's face was full of excitement, and the civil and military officials were all happy.

Although the trade between the Great Song Dynasty and Dongying has never been interrupted, they have not yet established formal diplomatic relations, and Dongying has ended diplomatic relations with Yanxia for more than 260 years since the eleventh meeting of the Tang Dynasty in 894 AD.

Saying how Dongying admired the Great Song Dynasty and Confucian culture, and how to send women over, is just Confucianism's boasting, in fact, under the diplomatic relations of Confucianism and internal law, it is always the people of the state who take advantage.

Based on this situation, Song Huizong and the courtiers heard that Dongying suddenly sent an envoy to establish diplomatic relations, and also sent a subordinate official of the prime minister of Zheng Sanpin, and they were extremely bright.

Kong Duanyou even put on the spectrum of Yan Shenggong, and directly brought Zhao Youkai, Ma Zheng and other officials of the Ministry of Rites to greet him, as if the Great Song Dynasty was the territory of his old Kong family.

And Kong Duancao saw that Fangmen Xinqing was full of etiquette, and the standard of Confucian etiquette was incomparable, so in order to save the face of the Kong family, he couldn't help but say to Jiang Chen:

"Villain, do you see that? The envoys of Dongying are all the rites of my holy gate, and they are also Confucian words!

My Holy Gate has long been educated and widely respected, but your boastful science can only be spread in the small Yuqing Villa, why is this? Isn't it clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak?"

"Not bad! How can a mere science be compared to the knowledge of a sage? It's just a frog at the bottom of the well, smiling and generous!"

Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and a large number of civil officials and Confucian scholars who had not dispersed regained their self-confidence, and they all became nervous.

"The frog at the bottom of the well?

Then I don't know if Master Kong and you know what dynasty Dongying is now? What kind of governance is being promoted? And for what purpose did the sudden dispatch come?"

Jiang Chen looked amused.
