As soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Duan looked like he had admired Su Lin for a long time, which made Su Lin also stunned, searching the memories in his mind, and it seemed that he didn't recognize Yuan Du in front of him, and it was impossible to know Yuan Dui's uncle.

However, out of politeness and caution, Su Lin still smiled and asked back:

"Brother Yuan has won the award!I don't know who Uncle Ling is?"

"Yuan Tianzhang, the prefect of Jian'an Prefecture, this time my uncle knew that I was walking with Brother Su Shi, so he told me that I must make friends with talents like Brother Su Shi, seize the opportunity to exchange ideas and understandings with Brother Su Shi, and jointly study the holy scriptures!"

Yuan Du didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

As soon as Su Lin heard the name of Yuan Tianzhang, the prefect of Jian'an Prefecture, he understood, and he had enlightened himself with his holy words, and he had been alarmed all the way to the temple from the county, government, state, and country.

Although Liu Yanfang, the rotating head saint, later issued a gag order to cover up the matter, there are still several people who know that he opened his wisdom with holy words, and Yuan Tianzhang, the prefect of Jian'an Mansion, is one of them.

"Presumably, this Yuan Tianzhang saw that I was enlightened with holy words, and the future was unlimited, so he deliberately asked his nephew Yuan Du to befriend me first.

However, with the Half-Saint Forbidden Order, it is impossible for Yuan Tianzhang to reveal the matter of my enlightenment with holy words to Yuan Duan. ”

Knowing what was going on, Su Lin smiled at Yuan Duan, who deliberately came to befriend him, and said:

"Brother Yuan is the head of the case in Jiyang County, and after obtaining the Tongsheng degree this time, we can enter the Shizu Academy in Jian'an Mansion to study, and we will be classmates in the future. When I saw it today, I got acquainted with it in advance. ”

"That's true, Brother Su is really a talent, why don't Brother Su come to rest with us in a tent today, and when night falls, we will talk by candle and night, talk about the scriptures and righteousness of the hundred schools of thought, and exchange their thoughts and understandings, wouldn't it be happy?"

Yuan Du originally tried to befriend Su Lin according to the intention of his uncle Yuan Tianzhang, but after chatting with Su Lin for a few words, although he had not found anything very remarkable about Su Lin for the time being.

But he had a good impression of Su Lin's humble attitude towards others, and couldn't help but take the initiative to invite Su Lin to come to the camp of a wealthy family with several people on his side to rest.

However, as soon as Yuan Dui said this, before Su Lin could say yes or not, the heads of the neighboring counties around Yuan Dui who had befriended him frowned.

They had never heard of Su Lin, and if they looked at the clothes, they must have a bad background, so they showed that they didn't want to get acquainted with a lowly Confucian student like Su Lin.

Especially Huang Tong, the head of the case in Huanggui County, was worried that he had no chance to hit Su Lin's mood and thinking, and at this time, when he saw that the son of a scholar in Yuan Dutang actually took the initiative to make friends with Su Lin, the son of Xiucai, he immediately thought about it, and secretly rejoiced in his heart:

"This Su Lin can defeat Zhao Shuang in the county test in Fengle County, and he must have some talent in pasting scriptures and poetry.

Then I won't attack you from these two aspects, but instead use your identity to attack, just a mere son of talent, I don't know what kind of rhetoric to open your mind, and dare to plunge into the circle of our children of wealthy families?

Huang Tong is also a talented and intelligent person, who is enlightened by the words of Hanlin, has read a lot of books since he was a child, and quotes scriptures and classics at his fingertips.

At this time, after just a little search in his mind, he locked on a sentence in Kong Sheng's "Analects", and immediately jumped out, pointing at Su Lin and saying to Yuan Duan:

"Yuan Duan, you are also the son of a scholar, and the marquis of the family for generations, how can you be friends with such a lowly person?

The words are so intimate that they even invite them to talk at night. Do you know that the "Analects" has a saying, and the son says: 'Those who have no friends are not as good as themselves'?

How can you be too close to someone whose status is far inferior to yours?

This is a manifestation of your unselfishness and depravity. You even want to bring him into the tent where we are going to live, aren't you going against the will of the holy words of Confucius?"

No one thought that Yuan Du's invitation to Su Lin into the camp to rest and talk together would cause Huang Tong to make such fierce accusations.

This is really not a trivial matter, especially when Huang Tong directly moved out the holy words of Confucius and reprimanded Yuan Duan's behavior with the meaning expressed in the holy words, which is already "punishing the heart".

If Yuan Duan is not careful, because this holy word leaves a shadow in his heart, his thoughts within his wisdom will be dim, and he will feel that he is a rebellious Confucian who has turned his back on the words of the sage, and then he will probably not be able to advance an inch in his life.

Similarly, when Huang Tong said this, he killed two birds with one stone, ostensibly reprimanding Yuan Du for "making friends and not seeking progress".

In fact, it was openly pointed out that Su Lin's status was humble and unworthy of interacting with a wealthy family like them, which was already a naked humiliation to Su Lin.

In the face of this situation, if Su Lin and Yuan Du dare not refute it, it is equivalent to the two of them acquiescing to this fact, Yuan Duan's "making friends does not choose, do not seek progress", Su Lin's identity is low and humble.

But once they want to refute it, they have to face the accusation of the holy word, and what needs to be refuted is not what Huang Tong said, but the holy saying of Confucius quoted by Huang Tong: "Those who have no friends are inferior to themselves".

In the Tianren Continent, how easy is it to refute a holy word? Even if a great Confucian wants to subvert and refute the holy words written in the holy scriptures, he must go through careful thinking and collect evidence.

To deduce with great divine power, to refute ideological theories from all aspects, in the end, it must be supported by sufficient ideological arguments in order to overturn or refute a holy word.

Otherwise, it would be groundless to refute the Word without any reason, which would be disrespectful to the saint and could even be punished by the Holy Punishment Department of the Temple.

In addition to relying on the wisdom of the sea, the Confucian scholar can invoke the holy power and turn the illusory thoughts into the holy power and magic to fight the enemy, but also can directly attack the opponent with the thoughts and words in the holy words, which is called "punishing the heart".

Everyone didn't know whether this Huang Tong had a grudge against Yuan Duan, or a gap with Su Lin, or if he had opinions about these two people, so he would openly punish the two of them with holy words the day before he was about to obtain the Tongsheng Rank.

It is forbidden for Confucian scholars to openly use holy power spells to fight among themselves, which is forbidden by both the temple and the state, and the offensive holy power supernatural powers and spells can generally only be used to deal with demons or arrest criminals.

And once there is a dispute and hatred between Confucian scholars, when you have to fight to the death, punishing the heart is a way to be tacitly acquiesced.

Punish the heart with holy words, based on evidence, and refute with reason. Especially when watching the battle of Confucianism, it can make people listen to the thrilling and churning of the sea of wisdom.

Now Huang Tong suddenly jumped up and used the holy word "those who have no friends are not as good as themselves" to punish Yuan Du and Su Lin, which naturally aroused the onlookers of all the other case leaders, and even Lin Wanjing, who was recognized by everyone as the first case leader of Wu State, also stopped and watched with interest.

"Brother Lin, why did you stop?" asked Fang Ziling, the head of Dongyuan County, who was next to Lin Wanjing.

"Brother Fang, you look at it this time, it's funny, there are people who are angry? Or with the holy saying, 'Those who have no friends are not as good as themselves'.

Do you know that in recent years, the idea of "Theory of Wealth and Poverty" by Ran Zicheng, the head of the household department, has been very popular in our country.

Governing the country by class division is a good way to save effort, but I don't think this is a long-term solution, and I believe that there are not a few ministers of the DPRK and China who oppose it.

But do you know why when Ran Zicheng put forward this policy idea, few people in the court refuted him?"

It turned out that Lin Wanjing was associated with the major events of the court by Huang Tong's holy words, so he thought it was quite interesting.

"I've heard a little, it seems that after Ran Zicheng obtained the scholarly degree, he lived in seclusion, devoted himself to studying the holy words of Confucius for ten years, and painstakingly wrote books and said that he built this "Treatise on the Rich and the Poor".

Corporal Shengshang Lixian personally came to the door to invite him to come out, and he was entrusted with an important task, and the official was from the household department of the first product. Since then, the concept of class has begun to penetrate from top to bottom in our country, taking root and sprouting, and exuding vigor.

As a result, many children of the great Confucian and Hanlin families are very happy to be loyal to the remarks in the "Theory of the Rich and the Poor", because they themselves are above the higher classes, and they can better understand the true meaning of this class theory.

Moreover, the implementation of the principle and policy of class governance is more beneficial to the upper class aristocracy like us, so we can get a lot of support from the court. ”

Fang Ziling said slowly, because this allusion was recorded by the historian of Wu as one of the representative events of Corporal Sun Jianshi Lixian today, so it is also widely known.

"Brother Fang, do you know that the "Treatise on the Rich and the Poor" was born from which sentence in Confucius's "Analects" was born?"

Regarding the allusion that Fang Ziling just said about Ran Zicheng's appearance, Lin Wanjing nodded in agreement, but asked with a smile again.

"I also strongly disagree with the idea of "The Theory of Rich, Poor and Cheap", so I didn't delve into its theoretical roots, but I don't know which holy word Ran Zicheng used as a foothold.

However, now Brother Lin would ask like this, could it be the sentence that Huang Tong said, 'Those who have no friends are not as good as themselves'?"

There is no one who can be the head of a county in high school who is not talented and intelligent, Fang Ziling knew what Lin Wanjing meant after a little thought.

"There's nothing wrong with that. The most basic argument of Ran Zicheng's "Treatise on the Rich and the Poor and the Cheap" is traced back to the sentence "those who have no friends are inferior to themselves" in the "Analects" of Confucius.

Ran Zicheng said in "On the Rich and the Poor" that even Confucius and his teachings should divide people into three, six, nine and so on, and advocated that people should not be friends and associate with people who are not as good as themselves.

Therefore, starting from this point, his thinking diverged and derived the principles and policies of 'class' governance.

It is said that if the scholars and the common people of the whole country are divided according to strict hierarchies, the scholars have the rank of the gentry clan, and the common people also have the rank of the common people, and the people of each rank can only communicate with the people of their own rank.

It is necessary to artificially establish a barrier between different levels and prohibit mutual exchanges. In this way, the upper and lower levels will be effective, and the hierarchy will be used as the binding of the people, and the laws and regulations will be unimpeded, and the world will be governed. ”

Lin Wanjing is worthy of being recognized by everyone as the first case leader of the Wu State, he has been well-read and memorized since he was a child, his thinking is quick, and he is enlightened by Confucian remarks.

Almost everyone listened to his conversation with Fang Ziling with relish, and after finishing speaking, they all nodded thoughtfully, as if they were thinking about reminiscing about Ran Zicheng's concept of "class" governance.

And after hearing this, Huang Tong laughed even more proudly, and said to Su Lin and Yuan Dui:

"Have you heard? Brother Lin, the first head of the Wu Kingdom, just said that even the "Treatise on the Rich and the Poor" written by Ran Zicheng, the head of the household department of the first rank of the dynasty, was written and said with this holy sentence.

Do you two mere children who have not yet attained a scholarly position dare to try to refute the Divine Word?"

"I ...... I...... I'm just making friends with Surin, so why don't I ...... Is it against the words of the saints?"

That Yuan Duan's qualifications can only be regarded as medium here, as soon as he heard that Ran Zicheng, the secretary of the household department, recognized it and wrote a book based on it, where did he dare to refute it?

In his mind, a few traces of holy power trembled with fear, and his thoughts became even more disorganized, and he couldn't see any brilliance, which was a precursor to being condemned!

However, in stark contrast to Yuan Duan's panic, Su Lin was not surprised, but had a hint of a smile on his lips.

"How is it that the phrase 'those who have no friends are inferior to themselves' has been misunderstood into such a meaning when it reaches the Tianren Continent?

How can you say something that advocates 'don't make friends with people who are not as good as you?'"

As soon as he heard Huang Tong reprimand say these holy words, Su Lin's mind recalled being on Earth before he crossed over.

When the Chinese teacher taught the Analects, he also emphasized this sentence in class, and he should not misinterpret it as "don't make friends with people who are not as good as you".

However, what Su Lin never expected was that in this Tianren continent where benevolence is respected, Confucius is a sage, and everyone obeys and learns the Analects, this sentence is still misunderstood.

There is even a self-righteous Hanlin Ran Zicheng who actually used this kind of misread and misinterpreted meaning, pretending to write a book and speak under the pretense of a sage's remarks, and even mixed up with a big official from the household department.
