Middle-earth, Confucianism.

As the Confucian Mansion of Middle-earth Shenzhou, which has the largest number of scholars in Kyushu and the most dense number of great Confucians, famous Confucians, etc., it ranks among the top ten in the world, and is known as the three holy gates of the world along with the Taoists of the East Pole Dao Palace and the Buddhism of the West Pole Buddhism! When the gentlemen in the Confucian Mansion travel, they can sit on an equal footing with the emperor and the generals, go to a smaller country, and even become the emperor's guest. The people in the Confucian Mansion don't just read and don't cultivate. However, their cultivation method is a bit special, that is, they rely on reading books and walking in the world to cultivate the Haoran Qi in their hearts, so as to improve their cultivation.

Therefore, there is a Confucian iconic saying that "our generation of scholars is good at cultivating Haoran righteousness!" is spread in Middle-earth Shenzhou.

The Confucian Mansion covers an extremely wide area, not to mention the thousands of academies distributed throughout Zhongzhou. The area of just one Confucian mansion occupies thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Its interior lives sages, gentlemen, old Confucian students who have been famous for a long time, famous Confucians, etc., every day to talk about the Tao, knock on chess and cook wine, elegant collection of singing remuneration, carrying the moon and boating, folding flowers and willows.

As long as you enter the Confucian Mansion, you can see that you are either a white-clothed lady or a green shirt and a sword, or a clean peasant cloth shirt, which is pleasing to the eye.

There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. It's Confucianism.

At this time, in the center of Confucianism, in the temple of the Holy Prophet engraved with "High Mountain Yangzhi" on the plaque, there are two young people, an old man and a young man, who are worshipping the statue of the Holy Prophet. Both of them have solemn and upright faces, and their movements are neat and skillful, like flowing water.

After paying homage to the Holy Ancestor, the two were silent and slowly retreated together.

"Sir. I heard that the Zhao Sect Master of Xuemei Academy has been very close to those gate sects recently. The young scholar said to the old man beside him in a respectful tone.

"Zang Gu is just a sheep. He really thought that those great sects would be able to unite and work together to fight against the next Shenzhou catastrophe for the sake of the so-called fame in history? The old man said flatly.

"If that catastrophe happens, it will really be the misfortune of Kyushu! It is the misfortune of my Shenzhou, and it is the misfortune of Kyushu in the world!" The most famous young gentleman of the Confucian Mansion also sighed lightly at this time.

"The human heart is like a ghost, the most unpredictable, the most dark. For these people, what is the benefit of others and the fate of others for the sake of what they are pursuing? The general trend of the world is already like this, and it is beyond human power to resist. What we can do is to do our best, and don't let the Confucian crown lose people. The old man continued, "In this great upheaval, there are no innocent people except those at the bottom. Even if we Confucianism have our own selfishness or selfishness that we have to have, who can tell whether it is black and white?"

"Sir, despite this, no matter what our Confucian selfish intentions are, it is ultimately for the sake of those people. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! This is exactly the long-cherished wish of our generation of scholars!" When the young gentleman said this, his heart was full of vigor and vigor.

The old man on the side did not change his face, looking at the young gentleman's expression of wanting to turn things upside down, but he was slightly distracted in his heart, remembering that he was like this when he was young, and it seemed that he could be able to make peace for all generations with a single word.

"If you don't starve to death, Ruguan is more misplaced. Once Zhongzhou changes greatly, what we have to do is to minimize the casualties of the people while protecting ourselves. They want to fight for the vast mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou, and let them fight. We are Confucianists, we will not participate this time!" the old man thought for a moment, finally closed his eyes, and after opening his eyes again, he said with a faint smile on his thin cheeks.

When the young gentleman opened his mouth to the old man, he was not surprised by the decision of the future direction of the entire Confucian Mansion, because this old man was the contemporary owner of the Confucian Mansion, and was known as "the most learned old gentleman of the Confucian Mansion".

"Sir, the 1,271 academies won't be ......."

"Yes, dissolve the Academy. However, although the academy was dissolved, the hearts of the people remained. Heaven and earth are so great, where can there be no place, where can not preach, where can not sleep?"

Where I stand, is where the Tao stands, and where I am the truth!

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, for the sake of the people, why are we afraid of these hardships!" The young gentleman touched the jade pendant on his waist that was engraved with "Haoran Qi", and his eyes were firm.

After a free conversation with the old mansion master, the young gentleman named Kong Nianyu said goodbye to the old mansion master, left here, and returned to his residence.

When he returned to the house, it was already the time for the moon to hang on the branches, so he lit the lamp and began to read the books of the saints at night, reading page by page, deliberating word by word, and then silently pondering the teachings of the sages in these books in his heart.

Suddenly, he remembered that on the way to "travel thousands of miles" after the weak crown ceremony the year before, he saw the bleak life of the people in those poor and small countries, and he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.

At that time, he had just become a gentleman and was qualified to go out to travel thousands of miles, and for the first time he saw what was meant by the "miserable prison in the world". Outside the vermilion high wall, there is a poignant scene of people eating people and still starving to death. Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road, there are starving bones!

He also spent money to help those people, but along the way, the money was quickly spent, and the hungry people were like endless time, with no end in sight, and the sound of sorrow could be heard everywhere in the world, and the bones of starvation could be seen everywhere.

There were even many times when some common people were really hungry, so they wanted to capture him and kill him, and ate him, which did not make him angry with these ordinary people. On the contrary, my heart is even more sad and sad for these people.

At that time, he knew what helplessness was, and he was most helpless when he died of exhaustion and couldn't do what he wanted to do with all his might!

Once, he met a haggard woman with a pair of children, and in the woman's eyes, he saw a sense of "standing proudly" that he thought only scholars had until then. The woman did not sell her young children, but with chapped lips, she continued to comfort her children who were already starving to death.

Kong Nianyu really wanted to do something for that woman at that time, but he was in that environment at that time, except for the righteousness in his heart and the wealth of the economy, there was nothing that could really help the woman.

It's like a person who is hoarse and can't hear the slightest sound coming out of his mouth.

In the end, Kong Nianyu handed over the "Haoran Qi" Confucian jade pendant that represented his identity to the woman, hoping to help her.

"You, are you okay?" Kong Nianyu gently put down the sage scroll, picked out the wick, turned around and walked to the "moon-viewing window" that could be used to watch the moon, touched the jade pendant on his waist that had been changed the year before, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely and lonely at this time.
