Chapter 121 A catastrophic disaster? Enlightenment and speaking out, the holy punishment emerges from the long words
In the lobby.
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
How difficult is it to become a great Confucian?
Read to gather your energy.
Also nourish your energy.
After that, one can know the sage and establish his words, and finally he can write a book and become a Confucian scholar.
It is extremely difficult to become a great scholar.
It is actually difficult to know the sage's words and establish the words. There are two stages: knowing the meaning of the sage's words, and then establishing the words of Confucianism and Taoism.
It also needs to be recognized by heaven and earth. If heaven and earth do not recognize it, everything will have no effect.
And becoming a Confucian by writing books is even more exaggerated. You write your knowledge into books, and the works must contain sacred meanings, which will eventually be promoted to people all over the world and receive wide acclaim.
Learning to write a book is actually a very difficult process, and you can’t just make it up.
But promoting people all over the world actually has a drawback, that is, you can use some forces to promote yourself.
Just like the Confucian family, it is relatively easy to be a Confucian scholar. After all, the Confucian family's prestige is too great.
There is no way around this.
What a great Confucian actually values is influence, so before becoming a great Confucian, many scholars want to improve their prestige.
This is also the reason why so many people want to become disciples of the Confucius family.
Reputation is important.
When Sun Zhengnan was young, he was also very talented. He did many things and accumulated a lot of fame.
Only I know the hard work along the way.
Now, all his talents have been cut off by Gu Jinnian. This is something that ordinary people cannot bear.
Everyone looked at this scene with numbness in their eyes.
A great Confucian who had gone through untold hardships to achieve enlightenment was now directly deprived of his position as a great Confucian by Gu Jinnian. When word spread about this, the entire literary world would be boiling over it.
"Gu Jinnian."
"You actually undermined my status as a great scholar."
"You deserve death."
Sun Zhengnan was also numb all over. He was close to eighty years old, highly respected, and full of talent. He was a great scholar in the world, and he was not just an ordinary great scholar, he was a great scholar with great prestige.
But what he didn't expect was that Gu Jinnian would actually deprive him of his position as a great scholar today. How could he not be angry about this?
"Please use the holy ruler to cut it again."
But when everyone was shocked, Gu Jinnian had no expression on his face, and he drew the holy ruler and slashed it again.
The slap of the holy ruler directly cut off a large part of Sun Zhengnan's talent. Everyone could not sit still, and the great scholars from all over the world were completely speechless.
It was enough for Gu Jinnian to reduce Sun Zhengnan's status as a great scholar, but now he wants to reduce Sun Zhengnan to an ordinary person?
This is too much.
And it’s no longer as simple as breaking up.
This is a matter of life and death.
"Jinnian, you can stop."
Su Wenjing spoke immediately and asked Gu Jinnian to stop.
However, Gu Jinnian ignored Su Wenjing. Since he had reduced his position as a great scholar, there was no need to continue to tolerate him.
You should be ruthless when you should be ruthless.
These guys seem to be peacemakers and reasonable clients, but what are they actually?
Each and every one of them has their butts crooked as far as the Kong family.
Make yourself hand over the sacred weapon?
It seems to be a great gift from heaven. It has a beautiful name. Protect the sacred artifact? Do you want to protect it?
I am dead?
He puts pressure on scholars all over the world at every turn.
Okay, let's see who will put pressure today.
Gu Jinnian twitched the holy ruler again.
Anyway, I have a lot of talents and I can do whatever I want.
The holy ruler struck him again and again. Sun Zhengnan was in agony and his talent was stripped away. Not only was his heart bleeding, but his body was also suffering from great pain.
After nine strokes.
Sun Zhengnan was completely reduced to an ordinary person, without any talent in his body, and his appearance also became old in an instant, his skin was dry, his eyes were cloudy, and his energy and energy were instantly gone.
Confucian scholars can nourish their physical bodies by cultivating their righteousness, and when they are eighty years old, they look like they are sixty years old. This is commonplace.
Especially the great Confucians are immune to all kinds of diseases.
But now that Gu Jinnian has reduced his talent, all his shortcomings have surfaced, and he seems to have aged thirty years.
As he enters his twilight years, his whole spirit and energy have completely changed. Before, he was still a great scholar, but now he is like an old man who has been malnourished for a long time.
Even breathing is a little difficult.
The others looked at this scene and were completely stunned.
"Gu Jinnian, what are you doing?"
"You are too cruel. You are holding a holy ruler, and this is what you do?"
"You actually stripped away all of Sun's talents? Are you still a human being?"
A series of angry curses sounded.
They subconsciously spoke up for Sun Zhengnan.
But Gu Jinnian looked away and drew the holy ruler in his hand again.
Swish.
The light of the Holy Ruler swept across, and the people who had been clamoring just now had their talents sharply shaved off.
"Gu Jinnian, do you dare?"
"You still want to undermine my talent?"
"If you have something to say, you can say it nicely. There is no need to do this."
"Can't you calm down for a moment?"
Their talents were diminished, and some great scholars were immediately stunned. However, a few great scholars immediately realized that they really couldn't compare to Gu Jinnian when comparing their talents.
Gu Jinnian has written so many poems and articles that will last forever. This rich talent can really destroy their status as a great Confucian.
Therefore, some great scholars immediately shut up and did not dare to speak any more.
"You have come here to plot my prince's sacred weapon. You have no shame at all. How dare you call yourself a great scholar?"
"This sacred instrument was given by heaven and earth. When did it become something belonging to Saint Kong? Even if Saint Kong were alive, he would never say that this thing was his."
"When Saint Kong obtained the Nine Sacred Artifacts, he took away three of them because he knew that one person could not possess more than one person and understood the laws of heaven."
"But you are so selfish that you have united with the Kong family to force this prince."
"Then I, the prince, will remove all of you and other great scholars from their positions today. I want to see if you still dare to ask me for a sacred artifact."
Gu Jinnian immediately got angry.
Are you always giving me kind words and persuading me?
You have to force yourself to do this, right?
That's okay, since we've already broken up with each other, we should do the best to avoid any future troubles.
After saying this, Gu Jinnian concentrated on the Holy Ruler again.
He was very ruthless. He took one step forward and struck wildly with the holy ruler, directly cutting off these people's talents.
Of course, some people really remained neutral, and Gu Jinnian did not harm innocent people, but as long as he stood with the Kong family, Gu Jinnian would ruthlessly attack anyone.
Kong Cheng didn't let it go either.
"His Royal Highness."
"The Kong family came here today to resolve their grudges, not to aggravate the conflicts."
"His Royal Highness, please calm down, calm down. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to take out the sacred weapon, then forget it. There is no need to do this, right?"
Kong Cheng still said what Bai Lianhua said, and specifically mentioned that he was here to resolve the grudges.
"I'll get your mother out."
Gu Jinnian twitched the holy ruler and aimed it at Kong Cheng and slapped him directly.
Snapped.
The holy ruler fell on Kong Cheng's face, which not only diminished his talent, but also gave him a ruler.
An old face instantly became red and swollen, and he let out a scream.
In the lobby.
Gu Jinnian's chariot roared, talents poured into the Holy Ruler, and the talents of some great scholars were crazily chipped away.
Su Wenjing was silent. He did not continue to persuade him because he knew that Gu Jinnian had a bad breath in his heart.
If Gu Jinnian is not allowed to vent his bad temper.
I'm afraid it will be more troublesome.
A quarter of an hour later.
Among the forty or fifty people present, seven were cut into ordinary people by Gu Jinnian.
The seven great scholars were reduced to ordinary people. Their bodies were in decline and their complexions were ugly. Even Li Yan did not dare to say a word at this moment.
The lobby was silent for a moment.
It is even said to be so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
No one dares to make any more noise. If anyone dares to make any more noise, the consequences will be extremely serious.
But everyone knows it.
This matter is going to be a big deal.
Seven great Confucians were reduced to ordinary people by Gu Jinnian, including the highly respected Sun Zhengnan and the great Confucian Confucian.
Gu Jinnian's attack was indeed ruthless this time.
Although it's a bit excessive to ask for a sacred weapon, you don't have to give it to me? It's a bit cruel to directly cut off other people's talents.
"Who wants a sacred artifact anymore?"
Looking at the quiet crowd, Gu Jinnian spoke calmly and asked as he looked at the crowd.
He was indeed curious as to who else wanted the holy artifact.
As soon as Gu Jinnian said this, everyone fell silent.
Looking at the silent crowd, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but snorted, but he immediately looked at Su Wenjing and bowed deeply.
"Mr. Wenjing, I, Gu Jinnian, did this alone. Please rest assured, sir, that Jinnian will never involve you."
"besides."
Gu Jinnian first apologized. Su Wenjing did nothing wrong and was helping him throughout the whole process, but he couldn't stand the other party's too many people.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. I didn't give Su Wenjing face, but I will never let Su Wenjing take the blame.
After apologizing, Gu Jinnian spoke again. His voice paused, but his eyes looked at everyone present.
Everyone looked at Gu Jinnian, curious about what Gu Jinnian would say.
"Sir, I want to start enlightenment."
"In order to establish one's words and gain enlightenment."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
Yes.
Gu Jinnian is about to realize enlightenment.
Know the sage and establish his words.
The third realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
Hearing this, Su Wenjing couldn't help but scream in his heart. He knew that Gu Jinnian's statement must be extraordinary and not an ordinary person.
But in the eyes of other great scholars, it sounds a little different.
What does knowing the sage mean?
It was only the third level of Confucianism and Taoism. If it were said that Gu Jinnian was going to suddenly realize the level of Confucianism, they might be surprised.
Just know the sage and establish the words.
They didn't care, and even thought that this was just Gu Jinnian knowing that he was causing big trouble and looking for a reason to avoid the limelight.
Right now, they all have anger in their hearts, anger from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Jinnian was indeed a bit arrogant, as they suspected.
But they didn't dare to say anything.
After all, the holy ruler is in his hands, who dares to make a noise?
After leaving these words, Gu Jinnian turned and left.
I don't want to stay here either.
After Gu Jinnian left, the group gradually spoke up.
"Mr. Wenjing, is this the disciple you taught?"
"I thought that Gu Jinnian's arrogance was just youthful frivolity. But after seeing him today, it seems that everyone was wrong."
"Awesome, awesome, I finally saw what arrogance is today."
"Young and frivolous people also have temperament. I have never seen such an arrogant person who cut down seven great scholars in a row. With this holy ruler in his hands, he will only harm countless people."
"I will make sure that everyone in the world knows what happened today, so that they know how arrogant Gu Jinnian really is."
Wait until Gu Jinnian leaves.
These voices kept ringing, and they seemed frustrated and angry.
Facing the angry rebuke from everyone, Su Wenjing's eyes couldn't help but turn cold.
"It's not up to you to take care of how I teach."
"When you come here today, what are your thoughts? Do you really need me to tell you?"
"Okay, if you only dare to shout a few words in front of me, please shut up."
"If you have the ability, I will invite Jinnian here again, so that you can talk eloquently with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Wenjing didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people.
I respect them because things haven't gotten into trouble and everyone hasn't been at odds with each other yet.
Give each other face.
If you really break up, do you still need to give them face?
"good!"
"Mr. Wenjing, you said this."
"let's go."
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. I finally understand the meaning of this sentence today."
"Walk."
"Stop being so nagging, let's go."
After hearing Su Wenjing's straightforward words, everyone stopped staying and left directly.
One after another the figures left.
There were also a few figures who did not leave, but waited for people to leave and looked at Su Wenjing before speaking slowly.
"Brother Wenjing, this matter is far from as simple as you think. The Kong family is bound to get the sacred artifact."
"Yes, Wen Jing, you are the leader of Qingliu. You must not get involved. Otherwise, your reputation for decades will be destroyed in one day."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cut off seven people's Confucian positions. If this matter spreads, it will cause huge public opinion. You are about to become a quasi-sage, and now you need reputation. If you get involved in this matter, it will be difficult for you to become a saint."
When they spoke, these people still had some sense and knew that it was the Kong family's fault, but they were more aware of the current situation.
I hope Su Wenjing will not get involved.
"If you can't protect your own students, what can you do if you become a saint?"
When Su Wenjing spoke, he did not waver. After saying this, he turned and left.
After Su Wenjing left.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, they were completely silent.
After Su Wenjing left, they did not stay and left one by one.
And at the same time.
Gu Jinnian came to the back mountain.
On the way, he met Wang Fugui and others, and told them that he was about to achieve enlightenment and might not appear during this time.
In the back mountain.
Gu Jinnian sat cross-legged, but his heart did not calm down so quickly.
After about a while, Su Wenjing's figure appeared.
"Meet sir."
Seeing Su Wenjing, Gu Jinnian immediately stood up and bowed to Su Wenjing.
"No need to be polite."
Su Wenjing spoke out, then looked at Gu Jinnian and spoke slowly.
"You got into big trouble today, did you know that?"
Su Wenjing was a little emotional.
"Students know."
"Please don't worry, sir, one person is responsible for the work."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
He knows it in his heart.
"Jinnian, I am not telling you to worry about who will bear the consequences, but to tell you a few words from my heart."
"I just want to tell you that you were a bit reckless today."
"Do you know what will happen next?"
Su Wenjing shook his head. He didn't care who would bear the consequences, but was obsessed with this matter.
"Appreciate further details."
Gu Jinnian spoke out, but he also knew some of the consequences. It was nothing more than the Kong family spreading some rumors, saying that he was arrogant, domineering and not a son of man.
In addition to attracting scholars from all over the world to criticize yourself, are there any other consequences?
"When the Kong family came here this time, they actually knew that you would definitely not hand over the sacred weapon."
"But they still prepare generous gifts. They are just trying to retreat in order to advance. They say good things once. If you don't listen, they will come again a second time or a third time."
"Every time they will deliberately provoke you, deliberately make you angry, and make you angry. This is your weakness and your strength."
Su Wenjing spoke up and explained the true meaning of the Kong family.
"Your greatest advantage is that you speak out for justice, have a true gentleman's heart, and know the difference between love and hate."
"But it's also your biggest flaw."
"Sometimes you don't understand the situation. You are like a sword, upright and unyielding. If you do this, it means you have to pay a big price."
"You must always be like this. If one day your legs are bent, then everything you strive for will become a joke."
"This road is doomed to be lonely, and this road is doomed to be difficult."
"Jinnian, I have told you so much just to tell you to choose carefully."
"Don't make the wrong choice out of anger."
Su Wenjing spoke.
He knew that Gu Jinnian was going to make a statement, so he naturally came over to remind him, fearing that Gu Jinnian would make the wrong choice.
Actually.
Gu Jinnian now faces a choice.
He is upright and hates evil, which is a good thing.
But Gu Jinnian was not as tactful as others at critical moments. In the eyes of the older generation, this was arrogance and ignorance.
If Gu Jinnian can continue like this, everything will be easy.
He was afraid that Gu Jinnian would bite him back one day.
After all, Gu Jinnian is already building virtue now, slowly building up his moral conduct. If Gu Jinnian can keep this up and does not change his original intention, he will complete the building of virtue as a scholar.
But if Gu Jinnian becomes tactful one day, that means his Taoist heart has collapsed.
As there is a saying, it is difficult to be a good person all your life and a bad person all your life.
He just wants Gu Jinnian to think clearly now, otherwise once he makes a statement, he cannot change it.
"Students understand that students will think carefully during this period."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, this was his answer.
"kindness."
"It's best if you figure it out."
"However, you must also be prepared. This time the Kong family retreats to advance, just to make you angry."
"You killed seven great scholars today. This matter will spread throughout the entire Daxia Dynasty in less than half a day, and all scholars in the world will know about it within two days."
"If you hold a sacred weapon, scholars all over the world will be jealous. The Kong family just takes advantage of their jealousy to criticize you."
"If it's just a verbal criticism, I'm not worried, and I believe you won't be disturbed by these words. What I'm most worried about is the Kong family's use of sacred weapons."
Su Wenjing spoke out with some worry.
Don't be afraid of criticism, as long as you don't hear it, there's no big problem.
Just be afraid, the Kong family will use the sacred weapon.
"If the Confucian family uses sacred weapons, students will destroy all Confucian scholars."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, appearing confident, but his domineering words leaked out.
"Let's take a look first."
"These days, I will devote myself to enlightenment. Don't worry about external matters for now."
"I'm here to protect you."
Su Wenjing was shocked, but he still asked Gu Jinnian to calm down.
It is a bit exaggerated to undermine the Confucian scholars. It is not as simple as a trivial matter. The Confucius family must completely break up with Gu Jinnian.
If the Kong family completely turns against them, their methods will be terrible, they will suppress and target them everywhere.
"Thank you sir."
Gu Jinnian nodded and said nothing more.
in this way.
Su Wenjing turned and left.
Soon, only Gu Jinnian was left in the back mountain.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Wang Fugui and others came and brought a large number of books. They were books written by saints. Of course, they were not originals, but handed down.
Gu Jinnian needed to make a statement.
To make a statement, one needs to know the holy meaning and he must devote himself to enlightenment.
Wang Fugui and others came over. Without saying anything, they placed the things and left slowly.
In this way, Gu Jinnian picked up a book and began to read it carefully.
at this time.
In Daxia Kyoto, in a mansion, dozens of old men gathered here, all of them furious.
"This Gu Jinnian is really not a son of a man. He actually dares to use the Exquisite Holy Ruler to cut off our talents. Poor Mr. Sun, most of his life's hard work has been directly destroyed by Gu Jinnian."
"Asking him to hand over the sacred artifact is just to keep it safe, but it doesn't mean that I won't return it to him. This son is extremely arrogant and has no respect for his elders. If he does something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, I will definitely write an article and let the world know about it."
"It's just a dispute. Even if Gu Jinnian doesn't want to hand over the sacred artifact, he shouldn't do it. Poor me, Mr. Sun."
Everyone was talking to each other, their eyes were full of hatred, and they were full of hatred towards Gu Jinnian.
"Mr. Kong, what do you say about this matter? Just ask. As long as you ask, we may be old, but we are not dead yet. As long as you say a word, I will have thousands of compulsory books and let the scholars in the world comment on it."
"Yes, Mr. Kong, as long as you say a word, I will definitely support you."
Someone spoke and looked at Kong Cheng. Among the seven people who had been reduced from the position of Great Confucian, except for Kong Cheng, the six of them were in the process of cultivation and were extremely weak. These people only had a few talents reduced.
There was a certain loss, but the position of great scholar was not removed.
"well."
"His Royal Highness was just out of anger and caused a huge disaster. Ahem, I still don't want to worsen the conflict."
Kong Cheng opened his mouth and coughed a few times while speaking, looking extremely weak and pretentious.
It was uncomfortable for Kong Cheng to have his position as a great scholar reduced, but he was not afraid at all, because he knew that if this job was done, he would be able to return to the realm of great confucianism sooner or later, and because of such a sacrifice, he could get more benefits.
The situation is not good for Gu Jinnian now, and he must maintain a good attitude. He must not insult Gu Jinnian like this kind of person. He must give people a feeling of generosity.
indeed.
As Kong Cheng spoke like this, everyone couldn't help but admire him, but they were still angry.
"Mr. Kong is worthy of being a great Confucian scholar. He was deprived of his position as a great scholar, but he actually repaid evil with kindness. I admire this kind of heart."
"But, apart from anything else, even if he was young and frivolous, and got into a huge disaster in a fit of anger, there is one thing that he cannot clean up."
"Just because we told a few truths, he used a sacred weapon to cut down our talents at will. Gu Jinnian can't clean up this matter."
"I beg you, sir, to write a letter and tell the Kong family the whole story. Please ask the Kong family to come forward and uphold justice for us and all the scholars in the world."
Someone spoke up and asked Kong Cheng to come forward for the sake of justice.
Hearing this, Kong Cheng sighed.
But he remained silent, acknowledging that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"That's right. We just told a few truths, and Gu Jinnian became angry and used the holy ruler to suppress him."
"To put it bluntly, the one we are waiting for is not a great scholar? There is also the one who is not famous. Even his husband Su Wenjing is in the lobby."
"Gu Jinnian dares to be so unscrupulous. I dare to ask you, what if the people in the lobby today are not me, but a group of ordinary scholars?"
"After taking charge of the Holy Ruler, can I do whatever I want? Who will dare to reason with him in the future?"
"We are all gentlemen and scholars. We should speak out when facing injustice. What Gu Jinnian did today, if not controlled in time, will cause catastrophe in the future."
Everyone has already described Gu Jinnian as the evil thief in the world.
"good."
"I have compiled a letter and passed it on to the Confucius family."
"However, I still hope to resolve this grudge. Although I have been deprived of my position as a great scholar, if Gu Jinnian realizes his mistakes and can correct them and hand over the sacred weapon, I will be willing to do so."
Kong Cheng opened his mouth with a feeling of pity for the world, and there was an illusion that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
"The righteousness of Confucius and Confucianism."
Everyone bowed to Kong Cheng in unison, feeling deep admiration.
In this way, everyone began to write books.
night.
the Kongs.
When the letter was delivered to the Kong family, Elder Kong Xin immediately found Kong Wuya.
Handing the letter to the latter, there was a smile that couldn't be concealed on his expression.
"Elder Wuya, the plan is done."
"Gu Jinnian was just as we expected. In a fit of rage, he reduced the talents of seven great scholars, especially Sun Ru, who was reduced to ordinary people by him."
"Please let Elder Wuya decide."
Kong Xin opened his mouth, looking extremely excited and excited.
The purpose of sending Kong Cheng to Daxia Kyoto was actually to disgust Gu Jinnian. They did it on purpose to make Gu Jinnian angry.
Deliberately making Gu Jinnian angry and embarrassed, Gu Jinnian will definitely use the Holy Ruler.
Once the Holy Ruler is used, they will have reason to criticize.
Otherwise, they would not even believe it if they asked Gu Jinnian to deliver the sacred weapon directly.
"good."
Kong Wuya nodded, and then slowly spoke.
"Immediately let people secretly provoke this matter. Within two days, let the scholars in the world criticize Gu Jinnian and provoke the anger of the scholars in the world."
"I will personally go to Chuan Shenggong and use the holy weapon to attract holy punishment. However, the Confucius family must not severely punish others and call on the scholars in the world to be sensible."
"Give Gu Jinnian a chance and invite him to my Kong family's family banquet. If he is willing to participate, as long as he dares to come, we will be confident enough to directly possess the sacred vessel."
"If he doesn't dare to come, increase the intensity and disturb his Taoist mind."
"Understand?"
Kong Wuya opened his mouth and revealed his plan.
"As commanded."
Kong Xin nodded and agreed directly.
soon.
He left here and began to deliver the message.
Until the next day.
The news of Gu Jinnian's reduction of the Confucian position of the great Confucian scholar has also spread in Daxia Kyoto.
The news that came out was somewhat intriguing.
It is said that Gu Jinnian defended the people's grievances and was admired by many great scholars in the Daxia Dynasty. After learning about this, the Confucius family thought of their previous conflicts with Gu Jinnian, so they prepared generous gifts and went to Daxia Academy with great scholars from all over the country to pay homage to Gu Jinnian.
But what they didn't expect was that after the group arrived at Daxia Academy, Gu Jinnian knew that someone was coming to visit, but avoided seeing them. Not only did he not see them, he knew that these great scholars were waiting quietly.
Gu Jinnian didn't give any answer, didn't say he didn't see him, didn't say he saw him, and suddenly disappeared for three days. All the great scholars sat in the lobby and waited for three days.
Three days later, Sun Zhengnan was furious, and Gu Jinnian arrived belatedly. Kong Cheng, instead of being angry, instead humbled himself and begged Gu Jinnian to forgive Kong Yu for his past mistakes.
Who knew that Gu Jinnian was completely disdainful and arrogant. Senior Sun Zhengnan just came forward to say a few fair words, but was angrily reprimanded by Gu Jinnian.
At the end, we talked about the sacred artifacts. I hope that Gu Jinnian can put the sacred artifacts in the Confucius family for safekeeping for the safety of scholars all over the world, and then return them to Gu Jinnian after he becomes a great Confucian.
Unexpectedly, after just making an opinion, Gu Jinnian flew into a rage and scolded everyone for being shameless. By the end of the scolding, Sun Zhengnan couldn't sit still and reprimanded Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian knew that he was wrong, but he didn't know how to answer. In a fit of anger, he used the holy ruler to cut Sun Zhengnan's talent.
Other great scholars stepped forward to stop him one after another, even Su Wenjing. However, Gu Jinnian was arrogant and relied on his own possession of the sacred weapon to turn Sun Zhengnan into a human being. Even several great scholars who couldn't stand it were also stripped of their Confucian status.
After cutting it off, he left extremely arrogantly.
This is the news that is currently spreading.
What words are the scariest in the world? Lies that are seven percent true and three percent false are the scariest.
The content is 70% true, but some details have been modified, which means it is just a little bit false.
In the eyes of everyone, Gu Jinnian has become an arrogant, disrespectful, arrogant and domineering person.
Most people have a hatred of the rich, and coupled with the fact that colleagues are enemies, for a while, the entire literary world of the Great Xia Dynasty was boiling.
At first, some people didn't believe it, thinking that although Gu Jinnian had a somewhat impulsive personality, he was not so impulsive.
But as news from various sources was confirmed, and even news from Daxia Academy came out, it was immediately confirmed that this matter was basically true.
Basically, these three words are fatally certain, because some places are different, but to ordinary people, they are basically all true, and some insignificant details are not mentioned.
This is a common subconscious view.
So after the news is confirmed.
There was an overwhelming chorus of curses.
"This Gu Jinnian, let me just say that he is not a good person, right? What's wrong with redressing the grievances of the people but not for the people? In fact, this is a game. The Duke of Zhen and the Emperor want to forcibly promote a scholar from the royal family."
"Having a holy ruler is a good thing, but it is disgusting that it is not worthy of virtue."
"Hmph, I didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be such a person? Fortunately, I used to think that he was a gentleman for redressing people's grievances, but now it seems that he is actually just a villain."
"Gu Jinnian didn't even make a statement. He just knew some poetry and articles. In fact, you all thought too highly of him and were blinded by the eternal poetry. If he is really a gentleman and has done so many things, why hasn't he made a statement yet?
?”
"Yes, if you think about it carefully, Gu Jinnian didn't even stand up for himself. This is very strange. If he were an ordinary scholar and redressed people's grievances, he would have stood up long ago."
"No matter how good the poems are, they can't hide an extremely dirty heart. I see, redressing the people's grievances is just like the rumors. It's just a drama, a royal drama."
"I have long said that the Great Xia Dynasty needs a scholar, a scholar with royal blood, who wants to rule us or control the people."
"Choosing a prince is risky. This Gu Jinnian is just right. He is the grandson of Duke Zhen Guo. His mother is Princess Ning Yue, a relative of the royal family. Isn't this just right?"
"Have pity on me, Mr. Sun. I have worked hard to become a great scholar and have done countless good things for the people, but I am suppressed by the royal family. I am really pitiful."
Almost instantly, all kinds of comments appeared, but there was nothing good to say.
This is normal.
People are like this. When they don't like you, they can find fault with you even if you are doing good things.
What's more, in Daxia, except for some scholars in Kyoto, scholars in many places are full of primitive hostility towards this Gu Jinnian.
The reason is the identity issue.
Gu Jinnian is a powerful person, so this is innate hostility.
Most of the scholars came from poor families, and there was an obvious class opposition.
If Gu Jinnian also came from a poor family, and had worked hard to study for ten or twenty years, and one day became famous, he might even win the favor of many people.
But Gu Jinnian is a powerful person in Daxia.
Such a person suddenly becomes enlightened, which is something that many people cannot accept.
In particular, everything Gu Jinnian did was famous all over the world, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Long before, there had been some rumors that there were some unknown tricks that Gu Jinnian had to redress the grievances of the people twice.
However, these remarks were not recognized by anyone at the time. After all, no evidence could be provided, and Gu Jinnian's reputation was extremely high at that time.
This kind of remarks are just what some people say in private.
But it's different now.
Great scholars from all over the country have already begun to criticize, why don't these slanderous scholars take advantage of this to speak out?
This kind of statement is actually very flawed. If you think about it carefully, you can easily find the problem.
It's just that few people are willing to use their brains. It's not that they don't have brains, but they also hope that this is a fact.
After all, we are all scholars. Why are you from such a prominent family, so young, and a great scholar in Confucianism and Taoism? Why?
Great scholars will be jealous.
What’s more, ordinary scholars?
For a while, the curse spread, but it was not too bad.
Until noon on this day.
During the Great Xia Dynasty, there were some voices in each of the thirty-six counties.
There were many local scholars with considerable prestige, and they expressed their opinions on this matter almost at the same time.
"Gu Jinnian defended the people's grievances. This is a great thing. However, he is arrogant and arrogant by nature. It is also a big mistake. It is a treason and injustice to deprive Mr. Zhengnan of his Confucian position. Mr. Zhengnan is the dean of Jiangnan Academy and can be regarded as Su Wenjing's teacher."
"You can be regarded as Gu Jinnian's ancestor, but I never thought that Gu Jinnian has no etiquette in his eyes. Even if Mr. Zhengnan uses fierce words, he should not treat him like this. What's more, Mr. Zhengnan has no fault, but he is brutally murdered. Gu Jinnian is not a son of man."
also."
This is the first voice. It is a great scholar. His words are sharp but still relatively tactful.
The voices behind them were each more vicious and angry than the last.
"The Confucius family apologizes. You know your mistakes and can correct them. You have done your best, and you are worthy of being in a family of saints. On the other hand, Gu Jinnian is arrogant and a powerful person. How can he be worthy of the title of prince if he does not receive the merits of the world?"
"Destroying the rank of a great scholar? You are really arrogant, arrogant, arrogant. I have never heard of such a thing. The Kong family has three holy weapons and would not dare to do this. Gu Jinnian has one holy weapon and would like to destroy all enemies.
Eradicate it directly."
"Is it just a matter of controversy to deprive others of their Confucian status? If you scold him Gu Jinnian for a few words, will the Crown Prince want to kill someone?"
The second great scholar spoke, extremely angry.
"After a military commander, that is, after a military commander, he has a violent personality. He has been pretending for so long, and now he has finally revealed his truth?"
"Mr. Zhengnan paid a personal visit and waited for three days, only to be scolded by his juniors. When he couldn't bear it, he even said a few words and was stripped of his position as a great scholar. This is really a huge irony."
"Gu Jinnian, you are not worthy of the title of gentleman. You have tainted us scholars. From now on, if a member of my clan dares to be friends with Gu Jinnian, your name will be removed from the family tree."
There was even a fierce scholar who directly threatened that any of his descendants who was friends with Gu Jinnian would be removed from the family tree.
And such sounds sounded one after another.
More and more great scholars are getting involved.
Sun Zhengnan's prestige itself is not small, and in addition, it is not just Sun Zhengnan, but there are also people who are secretly causing trouble.
This incident, like a prairie fire, instantly ignited the Great Xia Dynasty, which had just been quiet for a few days.
not only that.
As the news spread faster and faster, scholars from other dynasties also began to comment.
"On the day of the Great Xia Poetry Festival, Gu Jinnian was very aggressive and his writing was not the best. The Poetry Festival itself is a festival that gathers talented people from all over the world to have fun together."
"But Gu Jinnian was competitive by nature. In order to win the poetry competition, he did not care about the feelings of others. Even in a good poetry competition, he insisted on forcing the grandson of the Kong family to kneel down and apologize."
"It's useless for Duke Chuan Sheng to come forward, it's useless for the Emperor of Great Xia to come forward, it's useless even for Duke Zhen Guo to come forward. This kind of person has no king, no father, no teacher, and is worse than an animal."
Some voices came from other dynasties, and the one who criticized the most fiercely was the Fuluo dynasty.
Not only did he scold him, but he also started directly spreading rumors, mentioning the Daxia Poetry Society, directly spreading rumors that the Emperor of Daxia came forward to dissuade Gu Jinnian, the Duke of Zhen came out to dissuade Gu Jinnian, and Su Wenjing also came forward to dissuade Gu Jinnian.
As a result, Gu Jinnian refused to give anyone any face, and insisted on having his own way, and had to make the grandson of the Kong family kneel down and beg for mercy.
There is no gentlemanly kindness at all.
As for what Kong Yu did before, he didn't mention it at all.
This is the power of rumors. A few simple words can make a person who doesn't know Gu Jinnian subconsciously feel disgusted.
Once this kind of disgust is formed, if it is not clarified in time, it will become deep-rooted and subtle. No matter what you do in the future, you will be considered not a good person.
There are mainly three stages of public opinion.
Some people deliberately spread rumors to stir up trouble.
It caused some people who already had a grudge in their hearts to come forward and let them take this opportunity to say all those sour things.
The last step is to induce followers.
In fact, many people don't care at all about who did what, whether Gu Jinnian did it or not, they know it has nothing to do with them.
But when you see everyone scolding you, you will feel that if you don't scold me, you won't fit in with the group.
Once you start to curse, it's completely over.
It's like standing in line.
He will listen to what he wants to hear and watch what he wants to see. Even if Gu Jinnian clarifies, it will not help.
Because turning back and believing Gu Jinnian's clarification is tantamount to admitting that there is something wrong with his mind and listening to the slander.
How many people in this world can examine themselves three times a day?
Even if he knew in his heart that he was wrong, for the sake of face and vanity, he would still keep his mouth shut and refuse to admit it.
This is the root of human nature.
Such, terrifying public opinion, another day later.
Completely exploded.
The incident spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland.
And right at this moment.
Daxia Academy.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the originally sunny sky, covering the mountain behind the academy.
As the dark clouds gathered, Su Wenjing's face suddenly turned ugly in the academy.
This is holy punishment!
There will be another update later.
Before twelve o'clock, you will most likely be an hour late.
