Chapter 583: The Impolite
The students of Confucianism were in high spirits at this time, while the students of some other factions were frowning and meditating, whispering, and it seemed that many people agreed with Shen Dao's statement.
"This student of yours is very sharp-tongued. What the people present didn't know was that at this moment, behind a curtain on the third floor of the highest floor, there were two people drinking tea opposite each other, and the clothes on their bodies were extraordinary, which showed their status in the court.
The person sitting on the left is tall, looking very majestic but not not fierce, and his modest eyes are full of peace and wisdom.
As for the person on the right, it is the opposite, he is not tall, but the lines on his face are as resolute as a knife, and his thin lips are pursed to show a bit of rigidity and seriousness, but he is much younger than the tall one, as if he is still a handsome son.
In Jicheng, there is probably not a single student who does not know these two people.
The tall one, Master Zhong is also, and the stereotype sitting opposite him is naturally his biggest political enemy in the eyes of others, Doctor Shang.
It's just that unlike most people's imagination, when these two people sit like this, there is no sense of tension, but there is a bit of harmony invisibly.
Doctor Shang opened his pursed lips, looked at the person opposite with his tea, and smiled, "Master, this student is just as good, isn't it?" Righteous and resolute, although he was suppressed for a while, he did not show any impatience, in my opinion, he and Shen Dao are just opponents. β
Master Zhong also took a sip of the tea bowl, and his demeanor was modest, as if he had been accurately measured by a ruler, and then he sighed: "Speaking of which, if Yan Cheng is still there, this debate will be more interesting." β
Yan Cheng is the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of Master Zhong, and he is also the child he pours the most emotion into, not only smart and clever, but also humble and studious, many people in Confucianism even think that if anyone can take over the mantle of Master Zhong in the future, it must be this Yan Regret.
But perhaps it was the jealousy of the talent, this Yan Cheng died of illness a few years ago, and when Master Zhong heard the news, he immediately howled and cried to the sky, and then retched and almost fainted, that scene is still embarrassing in retrospect.
Doctor Shang naturally knew about this matter, and the deceased was gone, so he naturally had to maintain the greatest respect, and at the same time comforted softly: "The master mourns, Yan regrets that there is a spirit in the sky, and he must also hope that the master will take care of his health." β
Master Zhong shook his head, the melancholy on his face still did not fade, and said softly: "In this world, perhaps only Yan Cheng can truly inherit my mantle, even if it is Zeng Yu...... That's it. It's all in the past, don't mention it, don't mention it. Then he looked at Doctor Shang and said, "Doctor Shang invited me here today, do you want to discuss with me here?"
Doctor Shang smiled and said, "Do you and I argue less? Who can convince whom?"
"Just because you can't convince doesn't mean you don't need to say it anymore. Zhong Fuzi said calmly: "We finally scored the victory, the internal affairs of the Mo family court have been chaotic so far, not only has the country been shaken, but even a figure like General Wang has died because of this, which is really regrettable." Since the giant intends to change the law this time, I think Doctor Shang must be here for this matter this time, right?"
"Master Zhong's eyes are like lightning. Doctor Shang took a sip of tea and said, "I want to ask Master Zhong, in your opinion, will the giant choose your proposition or mine?"
Master Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't know. β
"Yes. Master Shang nodded, "It's because I don't know that I invited you here." β
Zhongfuzi's eyes were deep, and he suddenly realized something, and said softly: "When will the giant also come?"
"The giant has already come, but I don't know where he is sitting, Master Zhong can't practice as General Wang, and it may be easier to find someone than me. Doctor Shang sat down precariously.
"It is disrespectful to snoop with mental power. Master Zhong shook his head, "What's more, Juzi Xiuwei is also not under me, although he is a Qi and Blood Grandmaster, he also has a means to hide himself." β
Doctor Shang nodded and said with a smile: "On this point, it is rare for us to agree, although with my strength, it is not enough to spy on the giant." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, each raised a glass of tea instead of wine, and drank it slowly, this pair of political enemies who are incompatible on weekdays, maybe the whole Jicheng does not know, in their hearts, the other party has always been a person worthy of their admiration, as for why they fight, they just have their own opinions and opinions.
Zhong Fuzi looked slightly outside the curtain, and what he saw was also a heavy curtain, but he thought that the supreme ruler of the Mo family was now hiding behind one of these curtains, and was even thinking about whose proposition was the future governing strategy, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and some words were no longer hidden.
"To be honest, when I was young, when I read about the old giant's refusal to be the emperor and still maintaining a situation of a hundred schools of thought, I once had the idea of 'fortunately'. Master Zhong lowered his head and looked at the few tea leaves fluttering slightly in the tea bowl, and said softly: "In fact, if the old giant insisted on being the emperor, governing the country with the strategy of the Mohist school, suppressing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Moxue alone, perhaps Confucianism would have already declined. β
"But that's what I thought when I was younger. Master Zhong continued: "Now that I am getting older, my thoughts have changed a lot compared to those days. Now it seems that the old giant refused to be the emperor back then, although it was beneficial to the way of learning, and it made the Jishang School Palace prosperous for a long time. But this also led to the chaos of the Mo family's governance, and there was no distinction between the upper and lower levels. And my Confucianism has always believed in the benevolence and virtue of the holy king, respected the etiquette of the ancients, and divided the dignity and humility by the kings of heaven and earth, but the Mo family has no king, only the giant, if the king is not a king, it is naturally difficult for the minister to call himself a minister, so where does the government of the holy king come from?"
Doctor Shang looked at Master Zhong deeply, and his eyes showed a bit of admiration: "It seems that Master is the same as I think, if you can't unify the power to govern the government, make the government decrees constant, and work together, whether it is your idea or mine, it will be impossible to carry out it." β
Master Zhong's eyes seemed to burst into light, and he suddenly smiled: "Not bad." The giant should not be a giant, the Mo family inherited the orthodoxy of the previous dynasty, and the name is justified, in this case, why can't we have a king who is enough to rule the world?"
"Doctor Shang. Master Zhong's hands touched heavily together, and he bowed to the opposite side in a kneeling position, and then said in a resolute voice: "You and I are both ministers of the Mo family, although the ways are different, but after all, we are both working for the country." Now that the giant has the heart to change the law, you and I will naturally do our best, no matter how we win or lose in the future, I should keep this cup of tea in mind today. β
As if he was shocked by the solemn momentum on Master Zhong's body, Doctor Shang's rigid face finally showed a little surprise, and then he also raised the tea bowl and collided with the tea bowl in Master Zhong's hand: "Being an enemy of Master Zhong is very fortunate in this life." β
"Speaking of which, I came to you this time because I have another thing to say. After drinking the tea, Doctor Shang resumed his posture of sitting upright, looking at the prudence between his eyebrows, it seemed that there was something more urgent than the change that needed to be discussed, "There is information about that person, my people have already found out the news, and it is best to deal with it as soon as possible." He should be in ...... right now"
"Wait......" Suddenly, Master Zhong's brows suddenly raised, as if he felt something, and then an invisible fluctuation was suddenly released from his body, and his wide robe swelled up as if it was filled with wind, and the next moment it exploded in an instant.
"Rude!" his gaze was as cold as an ice pick, and he slammed into the position of the curtain.
At the same time, Qin Ke, who was sitting in place and seemed to close his eyes and listen to the debate, turned pale, as if he had been hit by something in his head, and exploded, and then he could no longer hear the sound from behind the curtain, and his right hand holding the tea bowl also trembled, and he actually dumped half of the bowl of tea on his thigh.
