Chapter 10: Confucianism
Several Confucian scholars walked towards Cao Yun, there were six people in total, and the person in the middle was wearing a white Confucian robe, the placket of the Confucian robe was embroidered with three lines of gold, and the body of the robe was embroidered with three golden dragons, and the crown of the ascending dragon was worn on the top of his head, and the momentum was extremely extraordinary. This is a typical Confucian outfit. Walking slowly, he immediately attracted the attention of the Confucian students around him.
Cao Yun noticed Guo Xiao's reaction, and guessed in his heart that the person who came should be the Confucian Jia Xu. However, among the six people who came, it was not Jia Xu who first attracted Cao Yun's attention, but another person, who was Liu Ye who competed with him on the top of Chongyang Mountain that day. A person next to Liu Ye also caught Cao Yun's attention, Xu Zhi, who had a brief eye contact with him on the top of Chongyang Mountain. Although Cao Yun didn't see Xu Zhi's face clearly that day, he remembered that look. Xu Zhi's eyes have a kind of wisdom charm circulating, which is impressive.
"Tsing Yi traitor, you actually have the cheekiness to come to this big country's academy. You, a person who does not respect the law of etiquette and the law of the king, do not worship the master and do not learn Confucianism and Taoism, still dare to be a holy place in the hearts of Confucian students in the world. Do you want to insult the sages again, or do you want to insult us and other Confucian scholars again? Liu Ye walked in front of Cao Yun a few steps first and said coldly, and the Confucian students around him looked at Cao Yun, and there was an instant discussion.
"Tsing Yi traitor, what is that person doing in our academy, isn't he disdainful of Confucianism?"
"That's the Tsing Yi traitor? ”
"Tsing Yi is a traitor, who doesn't respect the Dharma and the King, I feel a little dirty my eyes when I see him."
The surrounding Confucian students were all kinds of scolding, ridicule and ridicule, and Cao Yun had been paying attention to some people saying that the word "traitor" in the whole family was not, but fortunately he didn't hear it, otherwise he would not be angry. Seeing that Cao Yun actually ignored him, Liu Ye was extremely angry in his heart, and scolded: "You traitor, don't get out of the academy quickly." ”
Cao Yun looked at Liu Ye sharply when he heard this, and Liu Ye was shocked by his eyes and took a few steps back. At this time, Na Jia Xu and others also walked up. Jia Xu walked straight to Cao Yun, examined Cao Yun, and made eye contact with Cao Yun.
"Cao Yun, shouldn't you make a posthumous salute when a Confucian sees a Confucian scholar?" At this time, Liu Ye stabilized his thoughts and said to Cao Yun sharply. At the same time, the surrounding Confucian students tacitly shouted 'Tsing Yi rebel, the whole family rebel'.
When Cao Yun heard this, his thoughts suddenly became a little confused, and a sense of anger rose in his heart, "Yes, shouldn't Confucian scholars perform posterior salutes when they see Confucians?" Cao Yun asked rhetorically.
Cao Yun's words couldn't help but make Liu Ye and the others stunned, and also made Guo Xiao, Zhang Zixi and others stunned. Why did he say that, said this, he was not allowed to salute Jia Xu? This is not like Cao Yun's character!
"Hahaha, since Confucianism wants to salute, then you still don't salute?" Liu Ye laughed a few times and yelled at Cao Yun coldly.
"Hahaha, why do I have to salute, you should salute me. Cao Yun said proudly, looking at Liu Ye coldly as he spoke, Liu Ye didn't dare to look at him, and his eyes dodged a few times.
"It's funny why I want to bow to you, and you are not a Confucian. Although he didn't dare to look at Cao Yun, his tone of voice did not show weakness at all.
"Although I'm not a Confucian?" Cao Yun said sharply, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted a little, when he heard the words 'Tsing Yi rebel, the whole family rebels', the remnants of the previous master of the body made trouble again, and he lost some of his mind. I'm really not a Confucian now, although I have cultivated a heroic righteousness, I am actually a Confucian, but I still need to be recognized by the court documents!
"Hahaha, you are a Confucian? I really laugh at me, they all say that you are arrogant and arrogant, I think you are not arrogant but brainless and arrogant, Confucian? Hahaha, you don't need a mirror to take a good look at you, just you, dare to say that you are a Confucian? I don't know if you are too brainless and arrogant, or do you think of us as brainless as you?" Liu Ye laughed wildly, and Jia Xu and other young people also chuckled a few times. Xu Zhi looked at Cao Yun with some confusion.
Seeing Liu Ye ridiculing himself like this, Cao Yun steadied his thoughts, and said lightly: "Why don't I dare to say that I am a Confucian?"
Liu Ye stopped smiling when he heard this, looked Cao Yun up and down, and saw that Cao Yun was just wearing ordinary Confucian clothes, and he was not wearing any Confucian standard clothes. However, Liu Ye can also be regarded as a wise person, and after taking the opportunity to mock Cao Yun, he also turned his mind and thought about it. After examining it, he said in a deep voice: "When did you become a Confucian, becoming a Confucian is a big deal, if you become a Confucian, the imperial court will definitely publicize your name to the whole world, let me and other Confucian students admire." But I haven't heard anything about you becoming a Confucian, all I hear is Cao Yun's traitor. Liu Ye said and smiled coldly.
Jia Xu snorted coldly when he heard this, feeling that Cao Yun was extremely arrogant, and he didn't salute him for a long time. I want to speak out and teach a few words as an elder. At this time, Cao Yun took the lead in speaking: "Hmph, it's just that I haven't come yet, and I haven't told Duke De to report to the court." ”
"It's really a joke, just a few words just want to tell us that you are a Confucian, so you don't want to bow to Brother Jia, you still admit that you are arrogant and do not respect the etiquette, and it is not the first time that you have shown your arrogance in front of Confucian scholars in the world. Liu Ye sneered again.
Cao Yun frowned when he heard this, this person really wants to step on me to take the throne!" "What if I'm arrogant, what if I don't respect etiquette, what if I show it in front of you, what if I don't show it, but you care about my behavior so much, don't you worship me for a long time, and don't want me to do something that you don't imagine?" Cao Yun asked with a chuckle.
"You?"
Zhang Zixi and the others behind "Ha Lu Haha" all laughed when they saw Liu Ye's speechless appearance.
"Don't respect the law of etiquette or the law of the king, what are you still doing in my country's academy?" At this time, Jia Xu said lightly, looking at Cao Yun with a look of indifference. As soon as Jia Xu said this, the surrounding Confucian students became noisy.
"Tsing Yi traitors get out of the Great Guozi Academy"
"Tsing Yi traitor, get out of the gang and don't dirty my eyes again"
"Tsing Yi rebel, the whole family rebel"
The noise came and went, and some Confucian scholars were already surging, as if they were about to rush towards Cao Yun to beat him.
"What are you making noise!" At this time, a majestic voice sounded, and all the Confucian students stopped the noise at once, and the Confucian students scattered from it, and Jia Xu and the others also hurriedly straightened their clothes.
Cao Yun, Guo Xiao and others also immediately tidied up their clothes, and Cao Yun hurriedly stabilized his thoughts, took a few deep breaths, and dispersed the anger in his chest. Puff out your eyes and try to make your eyes look as clear as possible.
It was the Confucian Zheng Xuan who shouted to stop the Confucian students' noise, and many Confucian students always focused their attention on Cao Yun, but they didn't notice that Zheng Xuan came to the Great Guozi Academy. As soon as Zheng Xuan was born, all the Confucian students in the audience stopped and bowed down.
"Students meet Zheng Gong"
The sound was extremely neat and loud, reaching up to the sky, as if breaking through the dark clouds and returning the heavens and the earth to clarity.
Zheng Xuan walked straight to Cao Yun and the others.
"Student Cao Yun Meets Zheng Gong" "Student Jia Xu Meets Zheng Gong"
Guo Xiao, Pang Shiyuan and others also hurriedly bowed down to see Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan nodded slightly, and first asked Jia Xu, "What happened here?"
"Gong Zheng, everyone doesn't know where this Tsing Yi traitor Cao Yun has been in our Daguo Academy, and they feel that this is insulting to the sage, and they all hope that he can leave, so everyone is shouting loudly. Jia Xu bowed down and said, especially mentioning the Tsing Yi traitor Cao Yun, hoping that Zheng Xuan would reprimand Cao Yun after hearing these two words, and drive Cao Yun out of the Great Guozi Academy. Sure enough, Zheng Xuan frowned when he heard this, and Jia Xu noticed this and was overjoyed.
"Cao Yun was invited by me, not to mention that today is the day of the academy's anniversary, and Confucian students from all over the world can come, why can't Cao Yun come?" Zheng Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
"What, Cao Yun was invited by Gong Zheng?" all the Confucian students in the audience exclaimed in surprise and began to discuss. Jia Xu's face changed when he heard this, and Liu Ye's face was even more pale, and he didn't expect Cao Yun to have a friendship with Zheng Xuan.
"I don't know why Gong Zheng invited such a person who doesn't respect the law of etiquette and the law of the king to come to the academy?" Although Jia Xu chuckled a few times in his heart, he still opened his mouth to ask, reminding Zheng Xuan that Cao Yun was arrogant.
Zheng Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, "Who said that Cao Yun didn't respect the law of etiquette and didn't respect the law of the king?"
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought about what the relationship between Zheng Xuan and Cao Yun was.
"Gong Zheng, I have also heard of Cao Yun's many bad deeds, of course, people's words are not necessarily credible, but just from the fact that he saw me just now and did not salute, it is enough to show that he does not respect the etiquette law. How could such a person enter our country's academy, not to mention that today is the day of the academy's 800th anniversary. Jia Xu said slowly, trying to make his tone appear objective.
Zheng Xuan looked at Jia Xu when he heard this, and said lightly: "Cao Yun doesn't have to salute you. ”
"What are you doing for 、、、?" Liu Ye on the side exclaimed and asked when he heard the words, and after speaking out, he found that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly lowered his head. Jia Xu was also a little puzzled, what is the relationship between this Cao Yun and Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan actually defends him everywhere.
"There's no particular reason, it's just that he's also a Confucian. Zheng Xuan's words were tantamount to a thunderbolt for Liu Ye. Liu Ye looked up dumbfounded, and Jia Xu also showed a surprised expression. Zhang Zixi, Guo Xiao, Pang Shiyuan and others also looked at Cao Yun in surprise, but they didn't expect that Cao Yun was already a Confucian. It seems that this Cao Yun has just become an acquired Confucian not long ago, and this has become a Confucian, this speed is really amazing!
"I don't believe it, he didn't wear Confucian robes, and the court didn't announce it to the world. Liu Ye shouted loudly, his face was a little hideous, Cao Yun couldn't be a Confucian, how long has he been a Confucian, this is a Confucian, I don't believe it!
Zheng Xuan saw that Liu Ye was a little crazy, frowned, and sighed in his heart, only to feel that now Confucianism and Taoism are in decline, and most of the Confucianism is not as good as the ancients. Zheng Xuan thought of this and glanced at Cao Yun, and when he saw Cao Yun's calm face, his mood calmed down a little, and he seemed to see some kind of hope again.
"Mr. Li, come to the pen and paper. Zheng Xuan said to a scholar behind him. Mr. Shuyuan's surname is Li, his name is Li Yan, and he is the gentleman in charge of the library in the college.
Li Yan hurried away after hearing this, as a scholar of the academy, Li Yan certainly understood that Zheng Xuan wanted Cao Yun to write to prove that he was a Confucian.
In the audience, the Confucian students were talking in a whisper, and they all sighed how this Cao Yun became a Confucian, has Confucianism and Taoism become simpler? Or did Cao Yun master some tricks? At this time, Jia Xu frowned slightly, glanced at Guo Xiao, and then looked at Cao Yun, wondering in his heart whether Guo Xiao had taken Cao Yun to the Hanpu Mountain region and had some adventures.
"Brother Cao, when did you become a Confucian, have you cultivated a heroic righteousness?" Zhang Zixi Yan asked with a smile, looking a little excited, as if it was not Cao Yun but herself who became a Confucian. Pang Shiyuan Guo Xiao also looked at Cao Yun expectantly, wondering when Cao Yun became a Confucian, and even more so how Cao Yun cultivated Haoran righteousness. Heaven and earth are vast, and all laws are righteous, how many people's dreams are this! How many Confucian students have been unable to achieve a breakthrough in their efforts to become Confucians, and this Cao Yun has become a Confucian at such a young age, so he has to make Pang Shiyuan Guo Xiao hopefully seek answers.
"Not long after, just a few days ago I had an opportunity, and I broke through under the opportunity, and I went back to talk to you in detail. Cao Yun said with a smile, but he didn't want to say that he had gone to the Zhuzi Hall to participate in enlightenment in this big country's academy, if I let the Confucian students in the field know that I could actually enter the Zhuzi Hall to participate in enlightenment, maybe how much noise it would cause.
"Cao Yun, have you been reading any sage articles lately?" Zheng Xuan walked up to Cao Yun and asked.
Cao Yun was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Gong Zheng, the future students have only been focusing on playing in this Luoyang recently, and they don't have time left to read the sage's articles. ”
Zheng Xuan didn't have any expression when he heard this, and he also understood Cao Yun's mood when he came to Luoyang for the first time, but he still said: "If the situation is a little chaotic today, you should be prepared, don't have too much fun, and the sage article can't be broken, change it every day and take some time to take a look, and maintain a sense of tranquility." ”
"The afterlife understands. Cao Yun bowed and said.
"Hmph. Seeing that Zheng Xuan and Cao Yun were communicating, Liu Ye snorted lightly and coldly, and was extremely unhappy in his heart, how could this Cao Yun be able to win Zheng Xuan's favor, and I had never heard that Cao Yun and Zheng Xuan had anything to do with each other!
At this moment, Li Yan walked over with a few Confucian scholars carrying a desk and a pen and paper. Li Yangang instructed a few Confucian scholars to straighten their desks and put pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and a big man walked over.
"Gong Zheng, what are you doing here?" The person who came was Cai Yong, another famous Confucian in Luoyang City, Cai Yong walked up to Zheng Xuan and asked. There was also a woman beside Cai Yong. This woman Cao Yun had seen it, and it was Cai Zhaoji, the woman in blue who she met outside the Zheng Mansion that day.
