Chen County, Xiaoyu.

Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Guanlan Pavilion.

The peaceful old man in red and blue shirt was sitting on his knees in a quiet room, holding a cup of clear tea soup that was steaming with wisps of steam, and listened quietly to the rustle of raindrops falling on the bamboo leaves.

Last time I came back, there was no bamboo forest around this quiet room.

When I came here this time, I was surprised when I saw this bamboo forest for the first time. I secretly thought that such an elegant and clean quiet room does not grow orchids or plum blossoms. What is the meaning of planting so many green bamboos?

It wasn't until it began to rain lightly at dusk, and he heard the rustle of raindrops falling on the bamboo leaves, which reminded him of the carefree time when he and his companions were running around with shoes in the summer rain when he was young, that he suddenly understood that this bamboo forest

The intention...

But after understanding it, he became more and more confused.

Based on his understanding of his proud disciple, he doesn't seem to have such a charming personality.

"If the disciple remembers correctly..."

Just when the old man Xianghe was surprised by the change in his proud disciple, a calm voice suddenly came from behind him: "This is the second time that Master has ignored the courtesy of visitors and came to the door unexpectedly."

The old man Xianghe narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Han Fei, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the entrance of the quiet room without a smile. He smiled and stroked his beard nonchalantly and said, "When did I teach you the etiquette of etiquette when a teacher comes to the door?"

Of course he could tell that what Han Fei said was not disrespectful.

But he was talking about whether he should come to Chen County and whether he should come to see him.

His reply was neither rude nor impolite.

Instead, he was telling Han Fei that he came as a teacher.

'Lululu...'

The servant entered the quiet room in a wheelchair, lifted the iron kettle on the eucalyptus, poured out a cup of tea soup and offered it to Han Fei, then bowed and exited the quiet room.

Han Fei held the tea soup and waited until the sound of the servant's retreating footsteps faded away, then he said helplessly: "Master, I am the Chief Justice of the Wang Ting. I am responsible for maintaining the justice of the law of the Wang Ting. The agreement between Baijia and the Wang Ting

, Disciple really cannot interfere, and cannot interfere. If the master is here for this matter, you might as well go to the left prime minister. He is in charge of the government affairs of the court, and Jixia Academy is also within his scope of authority."

Obviously, he didn't believe what his teacher said.

The old man Xianghe picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at Han Fei with great interest... Xuan Ku, Xuan Qian, a black face, a serious smile, and his back was straight even when he was sitting in a wheelchair.

This kind of Han Fei is completely different from the stubborn, cynical and proud disciple in his memory!

What kind of charm does this Han court have? In just a few years, it can transform his proud disciple who has not changed after more than ten years of teaching into the person he is today who is dedicated to the public and is a stranger to others.

Not allowed to enter?

The old man Xianghe became more and more interested in the Han court and Chen Sheng, the king of Han Dynasty!

"What a coincidence!"

After a while, he said with a smile: "I actually went to look for your senior brother, but my senior brother said that the King of Han had already planned this matter in his mind. Apart from you, no one else in the Han court can make the King of Han change his mind!"

Han Fei:......

'Shameless old thief!'

With his cultivation, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, the old thief always only obeyed his master's orders, but this time he could refuse the master's personal orders?

It’s really three days since we saw each other, so we should treat each other with admiration!

"Disciple dare not deceive Master!"

After Han Fei pondered for a few breaths, he sighed softly and said: "My king indeed has great trust in his disciple. If it is an ordinary matter, the master comes to the door in person, which is against the duty of the chief justice of the king's court. The disciple has also decided to tell me on my behalf."

Wang Jinyan."

"But this is unusual!"

"The agreement between the royal court and the Baijia family has always been personally supervised by my king!"

"Although my king is kind to others and accepts advice well, when it comes to truly making up his mind, my king will never be influenced by anyone, nor will he be afraid of any resistance!"

"Master, don't you hear that the king of Zhou Wei used the Bolang Army to force my king to send troops to attack Taiping Road, but it had the opposite effect and forcefully forced me to leave the Han court?"

"What 50,000 Bolang troops have never done, how virtuous and capable are my disciples to make my king change his mind and take back his orders?"

It was in this quiet room that Chen Sheng made the decision to introduce hundreds of families to Jixia Academy. No one knows the inside story better than Han Fei!

So, how could he accept this hot potato?

Besides, now that he is serving the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly, how could he harm the interests of the Han Dynasty for the sake of Confucianism?

Not to mention Confucianism, even if one day his Legalist ideals conflict with the interests of the Han court, he will stand by the Han court unconditionally!

Because Chen Sheng has proved to him more than once that the hundreds of schools of thought do indeed have their own shortcomings. If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark.

Just like the shortcomings of his Legalist philosophy, he gradually felt it firsthand after he personally took charge of the judicial system of the Han Dynasty...

The old man Xianghe leisurely held the tea soup and listened to him quietly. There was neither anger nor impatience in his brows. It was not until Han Fei finished speaking that he smiled calmly and said, "You are even the teacher here."

You didn’t even ask where you came from and just refused?”

Han Fei: "What's the point of asking if you can't do it?"

"You, you..."

The old man Xianghe sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness and disappointment: "You and I have been living together as master and disciple for more than ten years. Is it possible that in your eyes, my master is just a follower of a dog?"

This is a serious statement.

Han Fei had no choice but to clasp his hands and say: "This disciple has absolutely no such intention."

"No such intention?"

The old man Xianghe asked slightly annoyed: "Then what did you mean by those words you said before?"

Han Fei said without thinking: "I know my mistake, Master, please punish me!"

The old man Xianghe laughed angrily at his stubborn attitude of "I know I'm wrong, but I'm not going to change it": "What kind of outrageous thing did I, the Confucian, do to make you see me as my teacher for the first time?"

, then you think that the master is here to fight against the autumn wind?"

"Why don't you think that I am here to save your Han Dynasty from fire and water?"

Han Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise. Based on his understanding of his mentor, although his mentor became more and more independent as he got older, and the older he got, the less rigid he was in vulgar etiquette, but he was by no means a person who showed off his words and let things go...he was

There is no great master who is closest to the realm of sub-sage in the world!

"Disciples listen to the Master's teachings!"

Han Fei quickly followed Shan Ruliu's instructions by squeezing his palms and bowing.

The old man Xianghe said: "Previously, the Imperial Household Office of the Han Dynasty joined forces with our Confucian and Taoist experts to round up and kill a great demon in disguise. Do you know?"

Han Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Disciple has heard about this."

The Demon Slayer Department is the law enforcement agency of his judicial system. Although it is not responsible for him, a copy of the conclusion report will still be sent to him. Because the scale of the last operation was too large, he specially "listened to and read" that report.

Report and know the whole story.

"This is not an exception!"

The old man Xianghe suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I have received news from my teacher that there are big demons in Yongzhou, Sizhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou!"

Han Fei's expression gradually became solemn, and he asked solemnly: "Why is this happening? Is the Youzhou Army no longer able to stop the Demon Court demons from going south?"

When he "listened to and read" the Demon Slayer Division's conclusion report, he only thought it was an accidental incident. After all, the Kyushu Formation had been shattered, and half a million Youzhou troops were stationed along thousands of miles of borders. There were only one or two

It’s not surprising that a fish that slipped through the net sneaked into Kyushu!

As for why he came into contact with the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is even simpler. His king possesses the aura of the Human Emperor. In the eyes of the great demons, he is the most precious treasure in the world... The Human Emperor can be a god.

!

"It's not that the Youzhou Army is now unable to stop the Demon Court from going south."

The old man Xianghe said in an unusually solemn tone: "From the moment the Nine Provinces Formation was shattered, the Youzhou Army was no longer able to stop the Demon Court from invading Nine Provinces!"

"The reason why a large number of demons from the Demon Court have fled into Kyushu until now is because the Demon Court has finally lost its patience..."

Han Fei couldn't help but frown, and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this, master?"

The old man Xianghe pondered for a few breaths before replying: "I don't know much about the details. What I just said was told by Confucius himself. The old man said: 'When the catastrophe occurs, the heaven and the earth move, we hold our arms and fight against the enemy.

Before, Weiwu Kyushu orthodoxy'!"

"What?"

Han Fei finally changed his color and lost his voice: "Kong Sheng has passed away?"

The old man Xianghe sighed softly with a complex expression, "You are also scared, right? Even my teachers thought that they would never have the face to see Confucius in their lifetime!"

Han Fei was speechless for a moment, his mind was in a state of confusion!

Since King Ping reorganized the mountains and rivers and unified the writing system, Kyushu theory gradually emerged and hundreds of schools of thought flourished. It has been passed down to the present day for nearly 500 years!

In the past five hundred years, there have been no less than a thousand great sages who could be called "Zi"!

And there are only two people standing at the top of so many "subs".
