Chapter 123 Invite the ruler, define Confucianism, condense qi with virtue, and rebuke three
Chapter 123: Ask the Holy Ruler to define the meaning of Confucianism, condense the Qi with virtue, and angrily rebuke 30,000 scholars!
Daxia Kyoto.
Outside the North City Gate.
Tens of thousands of readers gather here.
Wearing mourning clothes and hanging banners, they looked like they were marching to investigate. Some were wailing and crying, while others were scolding Gu Jinnian, while most of them looked at each other coldly.
Because it's at the North City Gate.
Gu Jinnian's figure suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.
"It's Gu Jinnian."
"He is Gu Jinnian."
"Look, Gu Jinnian is here."
As dark clouds covered the gate of the north city, voices soon sounded. Someone saw Gu Jinnian, pointing at the gate and shouting loudly.
Seeing Gu Jinnian's appearance, the group of scholars instantly became excited.
On the city wall, the commander of the army who was responsible for mobilizing troops immediately bowed to Gu Jinnian.
"His Royal Highness."
"We are here to maintain order according to His Majesty's decree. Your Majesty does not need to come here to avoid being defiled by these villains."
The leader of the unified army also knew what happened, and he did not like this group of people, so he hoped that Gu Jinnian would not be disturbed by these people.
"Does your Majesty have any other wishes?"
Gu Jinnian looked at the other party and asked calmly.
"His Majesty has given instructions not to hurt anyone."
The leader opened his mouth and gave an answer.
"good."
"Leave this matter to my eldest son."
Gu Jinnian nodded, then walked a few steps forward, standing on the high wall, overlooking the group of scholars in mourning clothes.
Most of these scholars are from Jiangnan Academy. At this moment, they are all looking at me eagerly, as if they want to eat me alive.
It seemed like there was some huge hatred.
"Gu Jinnian, you pay with your life."
"Gu Jinnian, you deserve to die."
"Gu Jinnian, return my husband's life."
Suddenly, as Gu Jinnian appeared, a series of angry curses could be heard. The voices of these scholars were very chaotic, saying one thing to another, but everyone could hear the anger in their words.
And he really wanted Gu Jinnian to die.
"clang."
At this moment, a bell rang on the city wall, directly suppressing the noisy voices of these scholars.
Gu Jinnian glanced at the commander beside him, and then slowly spoke.
At that moment, the latter took a deep breath, stood on the city gate, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty has an order."
"Send ten people out to talk to him. Shut up. Don't embarrass yourself here."
The leader opened his mouth and angrily scolded everyone.
As soon as this statement came out, the faces of all the scholars instantly became ugly.
"You asked me to wait until I get out of the queue, then I'll get out of the queue? Just die."
"What a loud tone. You are forcing Sun Ru to death, and you still dare to say such things?"
"You are really arrogant. Thirty thousand scholars and I are gathered here. If you have the ability, kill us and others."
"Everyone, please ignore him and continue scolding me. I want to see if Gu Jinnian dares to attack us."
Voice after voice sounded, they didn't care about Gu Jinnian at all, they would kill him if they could. With more than 30,000 scholars here, it was extremely terrifying pressure.
Not to mention Gu Jinnian, even the prime minister did not dare to do anything to them.
In fact, the civil and military officials have known about this matter for a long time, and they are also observing secretly. If they find anything wrong, they will stop it immediately.
At this time, we can't let Gu Jinnian act recklessly and really kill these 30,000 scholars. That would be terrible.
The overwhelming curses could be heard by everyone in Kyoto.
Faced with such scolding, Gu Jinnian was very calm. He just spoke to the commander on the side. He didn't want to yell, so he just asked him to take his place.
Soon, the leader of the army spoke out again.
"Your Majesty has an order. As scholars, you gather together for no reason with the intention of rebelling. If you do not obey the discipline and participate in the performance of Your Majesty, you and your Majesty will be punished by not being able to enter the officialdom for three generations."
The leader of the army opened his mouth, looked at the group of scholars, and said what Gu Jinnian had just said.
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Gu Jinnian is now the supervisory commander, and the six departments he participated in must be dealt with first.
In other words, if you did nothing wrong, Gu Jinnian can disgust you.
If you do something wrong, I'm sorry, Gu Jinnian can not only disgust you, but also make you unlucky.
Thirty thousand scholars gathered for no reason. This is no small matter, although they can explain and demand justice.
But is it fair to ask for it in this way? Can't you report it first? Is it because the county magistrate doesn't accept your request, or the governor doesn't accept it?
There seems to be none, right?
Is it just where you gathered your friends?
It doesn't matter who is behind this, punishing this crime is nothing.
The ban on serving as an official for three years is a bit exaggerated. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel may not agree, but it is not a big problem if they ban the official for three to five years.
For a moment, everyone was silent. They knew in their hearts that if the trouble continued like this, they would be ready to gamble their own futures.
This move is so unique that everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
"I'm here to go out, please don't say anything for now. Gu Jinnian only has this ability."
"Yes, don't be afraid, Brother Chen and I will step forward together."
"This is all Gu Jinnian dares to do. He forced Sun Ru to death. What else is there to say? I will go with Brother Chen."
For a moment, everyone did shut up, and some thorny voices came out to the front to confront Gu Jinnian.
About half an hour later, ten people finally came out and arrived at the city gate.
The ten people were all heroes. They stood at the foot of the city, but they looked neither humble nor arrogant. They raised their heads and stared at Gu Jinnian, with anger, disdain, arrogance and coldness in their eyes.
Each is different.
On the city.
Gu Jinnian glanced at him, feeling a little cold. He originally planned to seek enlightenment, but he never thought that this would happen.
If it is not solved, it will always be a problem. Now we need to cut the knot quickly and get rid of these people.
"Gather thirty thousand scholars to explain their purpose."
In the city, Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and looked at them with cold eyes.
"Gu Jinnian, stop pretending to be confused here. You are forcing Mr. Sun to death. You don't know how to deal with this matter."
"Gu Jinnian, don't pretend to be innocent here. How can you be responsible for Mr. Sun's death?"
They spoke, especially a man in his early twenties, who was wearing mourning clothes, handsome, and surrounded by talents. At this moment, he was looking at Gu Jinnian, with hatred and anger in his eyes.
He has the loudest voice and is the leader.
"Is Sun Zhengnan dead?"
Gu Jinnian looked at the other party with a calm tone.
"Mr. Sun's coffin is still at Jiangnan Academy. Do you have to wait until I place Mr. Sun's body in front of you before you believe it?"
Someone was angry and said so.
"good."
"good."
"good."
After receiving this answer, Gu Jinnian said hello three times.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. They didn't understand what Gu Jinnian meant.
"A good death."
"This kind of rotten scholar should have died long ago."
But what Gu Jinnian said next made the group of people boil.
"What did you say?"
"Gu Jinnian, are you still a human?"
"Humiliation, humiliation, this is a great shame and humiliation."
"Gu Jinnian, how could you say such a thing?"
"Arrogant, arrogant, what kind of arrogant person can make such remarks?"
Voices sounded one after another.
Everyone couldn't believe that Gu Jinnian would actually say such a thing. This was purely a provocation, a provocation from Chi Guoguo.
"Shut up."
On the city wall, Gu Jinnian's voice also sounded as people were heard shouting angrily.
His roar directly covered the voices of everyone present.
"Sun Zhengnan, as a great Confucian, did not distinguish right from wrong, relied on his elders and betrayed them, and was deprived of his position as a great Confucian. He should have repented and reformed himself, and understood the ways of saints and sages, but he never thought that he would not change his nature and would commit suicide as a means to show his respect to this prince.
Apply pressure.”
"Did I say it wrong? Isn't it better for such a person to die?"
Gu Jinnian spoke.
He didn't have much ill will towards Sun Zhengnan, he just felt that this kind of person didn't know right from wrong and relied on his old age to betray his old age.
There is nothing wrong in depriving him of his great Confucian status.
He feels that he has a straightforward personality, he says whatever comes to his mind, and he doesn't say anything bluntly when he sees something.
He was also complacent, thinking that what he did was upholding justice.
But to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than relying on his elders and selling them out. If he speaks upright and upholds the justice in his heart, Gu Jinnian will still respect him.
But when he was in Daxia Academy, this Sun Zhengnan didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and would scold him whenever he saw him covering his face.
And he also deliberately wanted to humiliate himself.
Is this what a great scholar should look like?
Are you angry after waiting for three days? After Gu Jinnian appeared, he was not disrespectful, right? In addition to his enmity with the Kong family, everyone in the world knew that it was not about not giving face to Sun Zhengnan, but not giving face to the Kong family.
Sun Zhengnan came with the Kong family. For what reason, Sun Zhengnan knew, but he didn't say it on the surface.
To put it bluntly, if Gu Jinnian went to see Sun Zhengnan and others immediately, the result would be nothing more than Sun Zhengnan's kind words of persuasion. If Gu Jinnian did not hand over the sacred weapon, the result would definitely not change.
You may think that Gu Jinnian is selfish.
thereby criticizing.
Therefore, it is best for this kind of person to die.
"Gu Jinnian, you are really a beast."
The scholar below roared angrily, wanting to kill Gu Jinnian.
"Sun Ru came to visit you, but you ignored him and made him wait for three days. Forget it. Just because of a conflict of words, you deprived Sun Ru of his position and forced him to commit suicide. You are still here saying such things."
"You really are not human."
The other party was furious and pointed at Gu Jinnian, his fingers trembling.
Not only him, but tens of thousands of scholars were furious. He thought that Gu Jinnian should be afraid of so many people, but what he didn't expect was that instead of being afraid at all, Gu Jinnian was as arrogant as ever.
How can this not make them angry?
"Force him to commit suicide?"
"I would like to ask, what kind of forcing method is this?"
"Do you know the whole story?"
"What happened, do you know?"
"In the final analysis, you are just hearing about it, and then you think it is a just act. You want to use this opportunity to criticize and trample this prince under your feet to satisfy your inner hypocrisy."
"Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Jinnian looked at everyone and asked coldly.
They don't know anything, so they come to trouble themselves. Ninety-nine percent of the more than 30,000 people are blindly following the trend.
What redress of injustice.
What justice?
Without a thorough understanding of a matter, what qualifications do you have to comment on it?
You can raise doubts, and that’s okay, but if you don’t fully understand the matter, you’ll have to make up your own mind. If you’re right, that’s fine, but what if you’re wrong?
Will you apologize? Will you understand your mistake?
The final result may be just one sentence, it turns out to be like this.
Or, although we have misunderstood this matter, you are indeed wrong, and you can tell us. Isn't it enough to explain it clearly to us?
Putting aside the facts, is it possible that you, Gu Jinnian, are not wrong?
Typical boxing behavior.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous."
"That's what you think."
"Since His Royal Highness is so unconvinced, please tell His Highness what exactly happened."
"It's ridiculous. No matter what happened, Sun Ru is dead. You must be responsible for his death."
"You're right. No matter what Gu Jinnian said, Sun Ru is already dead. It was Gu Jinnian who forced him to die. Don't make excuses for us here. What we are talking about now is your business, not mine."
"We have a clear conscience, and only a villain like you would think that we have evil intentions."
The sound sounded, and Kyoto was boiling again.
As Gu Jinnian suspected, this group of people began to deny it, as if their secrets were revealed, and then changed the topic to Gu Jinnian again.
This is normal. Ninety-nine percent of them are following the trend. Of course, they also have a purpose, which is to make themselves stinky, fall into the quagmire, and become their own bragging capital in the future.
The rest of the group of people simply deliberately lead this trend, and they have a purpose.
To put it bluntly, I just want to harm myself.
There is someone behind them supporting them, but it is not clear who it is. The Kong family will definitely not be able to escape, but it is definitely not just the Kong family.
Listen to these insults.
The commanders on the side couldn't help but frown. More than 30,000 people were insulting each other. This scene was not an ordinary lively scene. Even if they were insulting Gu Jinnian, not themselves, the leaders felt it was very harsh.
If it had been him, he would have killed someone long ago.
"Your Highness, these dogs are no longer unreasonable. I will take you back and leave the rest to the General."
The commander said, hoping that Gu Jinnian would leave so as not to be disgusted by these people.
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, waved his hand, and stood at the entrance of the city, listening to the abuse of these people.
At the same time, I was thinking about something.
Confucianism and Taoism.
Yes, when Gu Jinnian listened to these insults, this matter couldn't help but come to mind.
Confucianism and Taoism system.
The Confucian and Taoist systems are divided into seven realms.
The first state is reading to gather energy.
As the name suggests, it is through reading, understanding the truth, and then gathering talents.
The role of the Linglong Holy Ruler is to redefine the realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
Gu Jinnian had thought before that directly changing the first realm was not as simple as condensing talent, but condensing awe-inspiring righteousness.
But then I thought about it and felt that it was too difficult.
The process of condensing the awe-inspiring righteousness in the first realm is very difficult.
It undoubtedly undermines the self-confidence of scholars and puts Confucianism and Taoism in a dilemma. After all, sometimes many things rely on quantitative changes to produce qualitative changes, so the first stage should not be so harsh.
And now, Gu Jinnian will not increase the difficulty of the first level of Confucianism and Taoism because of the abuse of these people.
But he wants to define it.
The true definition of Confucianism and Taoism.
There was an ups and down of curses, and over 30,000 people were scolding each other for half an hour.
And Gu Jinnian also listened for half an hour.
Half an hour later.
Everyone's mouths were a little dry, and the people were a little numb after hearing it. They cursed for three hours, which was more or less excessive.
"Gu Jinnian, why don't you speak?"
"Are you scared? Or do you feel guilty?"
"Being silent, do you think I have said everything right? Are you speechless?"
The voice sounded, full of coldness.
But Gu Jinnian ignored these voices and raised his hand. When Wenfu appeared behind him, surrounded by stars, five jade chariots were like the emperor's mounts, leading thousands of troops and horses out.
Gu Jinnian's vision of the Wenfu aroused the admiration of many people.
However, someone pointed at Gu Jinnian and shouted with thunderous anger.
"Gu Jinnian, do you also want to reduce our talents?"
"We have nothing to fear. Brothers and sisters, we want to see if Gu Jinnian dares to strip away all our talents."
"I have 30,000 scholars, but I don't believe you can finish it all by yourself."
"You are right, you are trying to scare me and others with this trick."
They roared, and some voices were hidden in the dark, asking everyone to stand in front, while they hid.
But it has to be said that this effect worked. After all, Gu Jinnian's talent was limited.
And the combined talents of their 30,000 people are definitely not something that Gu Jinnian can completely eliminate.
However, Gu Jinnian did not intend to reduce their talents. Firstly, it was indeed not enough, and secondly, these people were not worthy.
"I care about Jinnian."
"Today, please invite the Holy Ruler to appear."
"Defining the first realm of Confucianism and Taoism."
At the north city gate, Gu Jinnian stood with his hands behind his hands. He looked at the scholars and spoke like this.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was really shocked.
"Define the first realm of Confucianism and Taoism? What does this mean?"
"What nonsense is he talking about?"
"Why can't I understand? What is he going to do?"
"What is Gu Jinnian going to do now?"
Most of them are confused. They have only heard of the Linglong Holy Ruler, and they only know the basic function of the Linglong Holy Ruler, which can reduce talents. They are not very clear about the real function of the Linglong Holy Ruler.
But some people's expressions instantly became extremely ugly.
"He wants to re-revise the standards of the first realm of Confucianism and Taoism, and wants to fundamentally suppress us."
Someone looked ugly and told what Gu Jinnian wanted to do.
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
"Revise the standards for the first level of Confucianism and Taoism? What qualifications does he have to revise it?"
"Is this the power of the Holy Ruler?"
"Changing the standards of the first realm of Confucianism and Taoism? How could the Exquisite Holy Ruler have such power? No wonder it can be called a holy weapon."
People were amazed and some couldn't believe it, but when the facts were in front of them, they had to believe it.
"What if Gu Jinnian makes changes at will and sets up a rule that cannot be completed? Wouldn't it mean that we cannot follow Confucianism and Taoism?"
"Gu Jinnian is really vicious, he used this trick to force us to submit."
"The realm of Confucianism and Taoism was established by heaven and earth, and was deduced by generations of saints and sages. Now Gu Jinnian wants to forcibly modify it. It's hateful."
"Gu Jinnian, are you worthy?"
There were shouts and curses, some were still angry, some were scared, and some even showed fear. After all, they had finally achieved the realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
Now tell them to redefine, how can they not be afraid?
"The problem won't be too big. Even if he redefines it, it will only affect latecomers, and we will not be affected."
At the critical moment, someone spoke up and revealed the secret.
As soon as this statement came out, many people were curious.
"Are you sure we won't be affected?"
"If it only affects those who come after us, then it's okay to say that if it affects our current state, then Gu Jinnian really deserves death."
"I think it's very possible. After all, no matter how powerful the Holy Ruler is, it can't be infinite. There will definitely be certain limitations."
Voices rang out one after another, and after someone revealed the shortcomings of the Holy Ruler, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gu Jinnian redefines the first level of Confucianism and Taoism and affects them, it will be a real loss.
Just, on the north city gate.
Listen to these remarks.
Gu Jinnian's face was expressionless.
The Holy Ruler emerged, and the exquisite Holy Ruler bloomed with light.
Gu Jinnian also closed his eyes at this moment, and the way of the sages appeared in his mind.
About a quarter of an hour later.
The moment Gu Jinnian opened his eyes, the exquisite holy ruler trembled crazily.
"The first realm of Confucianism and Taoism."
"Condensing Qi with virtue."
"Anyone with good moral character can condense his Qi and become a noble and righteous Qi."
"People without virtue have corrupt conduct, are narrow-minded, cannot condense their energy, and cannot enter Confucianism and Taoism after reading thousands of books."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
This is his definition of the first realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
Only those who are virtuous can condense Qi.
This virtue does not mean that you must become a saint, but that you have a clear distinction between love and hate. You cannot do things that you know are wrong. You are obviously jealous, but you have to find an excuse to cover up your jealousy and criticize others.
Or harm others.
Such people have no virtue.
He is also a good scholar.
Even a gentleman.
Even if he is a pig-killer, as long as he has virtue, he can condense Qi, and what he condenses is still awe-inspiring and righteous Qi.
Justice in the heart.
If you don't have virtue, even if you read ten thousand books by saints, you will never be able to step into Confucianism and Taoism, and you will never be able to condense a great righteousness.
Germany.
The most important thing is that it has nothing to do with life experience or background.
Gu Jinnian indeed raised the standard, but he did not forcefully raise the standard, but defined it from a person's words and deeds.
As soon as this statement came out.
The holy ruler made a terrifying roar.
The next moment, the light soared into the sky and scattered the clouds.
The exquisite holy ruler rushed up to the sky, and golden ancient characters emerged from the holy ruler one by one. This was the great road of saints, turned into words, and flooded Daxia Kyoto.
The Holy Ruler has a spirit and is judging whether there are any problems with the Confucianism and Taoism established by Gu Jinnian.
this moment.
All eyes are focused on the Holy Ruler.
Half an hour later.
The holy ruler shook.
The next moment, rays of black and yellow light fell from the sky, like the Milky Way, and fell directly into the Holy Ruler.
Immediately afterwards, the Holy Ruler bloomed with billions of divine lights, and the rays of light sank into the earth, which meant God's approval.
Recognize the realm defined by Gu Jinnian.
"Although the Holy Ruler has the ability to define the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, it still depends on the situation. It is really incredible that His Highness the Crown Prince's words are the meaning of God."
In Kyoto, a great scholar spoke up and praised Gu Jinnian's behavior.
"His Royal Highness did not mess around because of the abuse of these scholars, and used virtue to condense his energy. This is a wonderful saying. Today's scholars are eager to attack each other. They only know how to read to condense their energy, but they have forgotten the word "virtue". Today's scholars
Because, it’s really good.”
"If a person has no virtue, how can he practice cultivation? Let alone become a Confucian."
"To condense Qi with virtue, it is better to condense Qi with virtue."
At this moment, voices echoed in Kyoto, and many great scholars praised Gu Jinnian's behavior.
After all, it makes sense and there's nothing wrong with it.
Condensing energy with virtue.
However, at this moment, rays of light erupted from the Holy Ruler, and each ray of light seemed to form a miniature version of the Holy Ruler, sinking into the bodies of these scholars.
Not just them, even Gu Jinnian also had a holy ruler inside his body.
These rays of light permeated Kyoto, and not only these scholars, but also all the people received a holy ruler.
The holy ruler enters the body.
All the past events are reflected in an instant.
In an instant, all the scholars in the city looked shocked.
"Why is my talent disappearing? What tricks did you use, Gu Jinnian?"
"What's going on? Why has so much of my talent disappeared?"
"How did I fall from the realm of knowing sage and establishing words to the realm of nourishing qi?"
"What's going on? Gu Jinnian, what are you trying to do?"
They were shocked, uttered questions, and looked extremely panicked.
Although they are not great Confucians, they still cherish their Confucianism and Taoism very much.
Nowadays, most of the more than 30,000 scholars have been reduced to a certain level, and only a few have been reduced to a great deal of talent.
How does this not panic them?
In the city, there were also some scholars who had their talents cut off, and all of them looked ugly.
But a shocking scene happened.
Some of them are not scholars, but they condense a mighty righteousness into their bodies and emit a faint light.
It attracted exclamations of surprise.
Talent is something that many people dream of. Having talent means entering Confucianism and Taoism.
He is a scholar.
In Kyoto, many people have acquired talents for no reason, including some women.
Aroused all kinds of curiosity and shock.
"Just shut up."
However, at this moment, a strong voice sounded.
It's Yang Kai's voice.
At this moment, he came to the gate of Beicheng, wearing official uniform, looking at this group of people with eyes full of coldness and contempt.
Yang Kai is the Minister of Rites and a great contemporary scholar. His reputation is no less than that of Sun Zhengnan. In a certain sense, Yang Kai's status is even higher than that of Sun Zhengnan.
Just because he is the Minister of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is the organization in charge of all scholars in Daxia.
As Yang Kai spoke out, these scholars did not dare to continue shouting, and they all behaved very well.
"This is the judgment of virtue by the Holy Ruler. If you have no virtue in your heart, your talents will be diminished under the judgment of the Holy Ruler."
"As soon as something happened, you thought it was His Highness the Crown Prince's doing, so you were blinded just now? Didn't you see the holy ruler and didn't enter His Highness the Crown Prince's body?"
"Using virtue to condense your energy, almost none of you can condense your talents. This proves that you have no virtue. If you gather here today, you are either being deceived by others or you have evil intentions."
"Come here, tell me my order to imprison all 30,000 scholars outside the city, record their identities, and not be allowed to participate in the three imperial examinations."
Yang Kai spoke out, he had just been penetrated by the Holy Ruler, and some of his talents were cut off, but not a lot, and the impact was not big.
But even so, Yang Kai did not blame Gu Jinnian.
This is my own problem and has nothing to do with Gu Jinnian.
But when he heard these scholars shouting again and accusing Gu Jinnian, he couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to the city entrance to angrily scold Wanru.
Listening to what Yang Kai said, these scholars all turned pale.
They thought that even if Gu Jinnian defined the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, it would not affect them, but what they didn't expect was that they were still stabbed after all.
It is even said that all the scholars in Kyoto were stabbed for no reason. Fortunately, the scholars in Kyoto upheld their conscience and their talents were more or less cut off, but the impact was not big.
But this is not a bad thing. The talents that have been diminished are talents that are undeserved. There are mistakes but they can be corrected. In the future, we can condense the awe-inspiring righteousness. This is the foundation. The future has unlimited prospects.
Of course, there was another reason why Yang Kai showed up, because he was afraid that Gu Jinnian would get really angry and do something he shouldn't do.
That's why I came here specifically to say this for Gu Jinnian.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has redefined the realm of Confucianism and Taoism for scholars all over the world. This is a supreme merit."
"From now on, people without virtue will not be allowed to step on Confucianism."
"Whether it is for the people or the country, His Royal Highness has made immortal contributions."
"Please accept my respects."
At this time, Yang Kai bowed deeply to Gu Jinnian.
This is not hypocrisy, but worship from the heart.
Gu Jinnian did not randomly define the realm of Confucianism and Taoism because of what these people did. Instead, he condensed his energy with virtue and perfectly conformed to the way of a gentleman.
Just such a pattern and broad mind made him admire him.
And he didn't talk nonsense.
From now on, all scholars who have not condensed their Qi will have to practice cultivation again. They need to cultivate their virtue.
Only with virtue can you condense your Qi.
This is a good thing for Jiangshan Sheji.
In the future, it will be easy to judge whether a person is good or bad, just like in the capital of Daxia, some ordinary people have gathered great righteousness.
Although there are not many, it is just one, but it means that this person is virtuous, and a gentleman does something and something he does not do.
Having moral character is a gentleman. Such a person will be respected by the people around him, gather prestige, and become a role model.
For the imperial court, the selection of officials can be directly judged by Haoran's righteousness. If an official does not have virtue, he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility.
It can save a lot of disputes.
"Master Yang's words are serious."
"My prince, I only speak from my heart."
Gu Jinnian was neither proud nor complacent. The Holy Ruler entered his body, but in fact it also reduced a small part of his talent.
He also failed to do some things well, but this was not a big problem. After all, he was not a saint. After understanding the situation, Gu Jinnian would also make changes.
Gradually learn from the saints, this is Confucianism and Taoism.
No one is perfect.
However, Gu Jinnian's eyes fell on the group of people below the city.
His expression also turned completely cold at this moment.
"The holy ruler is here."
"My prince asked you three questions today. If you dare not answer, your talents will be reduced and you will become a useless person."
"Those who violate one's will are considered immoral and will be punished by the Holy Ruler."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
This matter is not over yet.
He redefined the first level of Confucianism and Taoism not only because the time was ripe, but more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to give a certain counterattack.
Otherwise, let these people continue to cause trouble, and even those who are white will be black.
Gu Jinnian understands that people's words are fearful and their opinions are worth their weight in gold.
Therefore, he wanted to ask clearly today.
boom.
As Gu Jinnian finished speaking, the Holy Ruler was suspended outside the city, standing above the heads of these scholars, blooming with light.
If they refuse to answer, their talents will be directly reduced. If anyone dares to go against his will, he will be punished by the Holy Ruler.
At this moment, more than 30,000 scholars looked at each other, and they were a bit stuck.
He originally thought that the strength of the crowd would be enough to make Gu Jinnian fearful, but what he didn't expect was that at the critical moment, Gu Jinnian used the Holy Ruler, completely changing the situation.
The holy ruler represents the holy will and the will of God.
No matter how they talk or fight, they are all vulnerable to God's will.
"Just a question."
"Did you come to Kyoto because you were jealous?"
Gu Jinnian spoke.
The problem is very acute.
He just wants to make these people lose face in public. What kind of scholar is not a scholar? If something happens in the future, he can spread rumors at will without resorting to such means?
As soon as these words came out, all the scholars were silent for a moment, and all of them looked ugly.
But some people took a deep breath and gave an answer.
"No jealousy, only justice,"
There were sounds, but the number was small and scattered, only one or two hundred.
"Thirty steps forward."
Gu Jinnian spoke and asked these people to move forward.
At this moment, everyone stopped talking and walked directly forward. They felt no guilt and were not afraid that Gu Jinnian would remember them and put on their shoes.
As for the others, they also answered silently.
"yes."
"A little jealous."
"Part of me is jealous."
There were many answers, and although their voices were small, they could not hold up the shouts of many people.
The people watched carefully, and after receiving this answer, they suddenly started to curse like thunder.
"Okay, it's true that he is so jealous of His Highness that he went to Kyoto and screamed all over the place."
"Are these beasts still considered scholars?"
"Whoever gives birth to such a person will make our ancestors really angry."
"This is called a scholar? It's a shameful thing."
Voices rang out one after another, and the people cursed. They had felt there was a problem before, but they just couldn't participate and couldn't produce evidence.
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.
Now that I have the blessing of the Holy Ruler, if you are jealous, admit it yourself.
After the admission, there was naturally an overwhelming amount of curses.
"Louder."
At the north city gate, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded like thunder.
Wasn't it very loud just now?
Why are all of them mute now?
talk.
Call.
Why are you silent?
As Gu Jinnian spoke, voices sounded one after another.
"I'm jealous."
"I'm a little jealous."
"With some jealousy."
Voices sounded one after another.
The Holy Ruler also vibrated in an instant, condensing four to five thousand Holy Ruler rays of light and sinking into the bodies of some disobedient people.
"ah."
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
"It hurts me to death."
In an instant, the sound of howling ghosts and wolves was heard. Someone still spoke against their will and suddenly screamed.
Anyone who violates his will will be punished by the Holy Ruler, and his soul will be whipped directly, which is ten times more painful than beating the body with an iron ruler.
"Finally, I want to ask you, are you jealous?"
Gu Jinnian spoke again.
He just wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Yes, yes, please spare your life, Your Highness."
"I am, I'm just jealous."
"It's jealousy, it's jealousy."
This time no one dared to mess around anymore, everyone was shaking in pain and answered quickly.
Sure enough, after learning the lesson, these people became honest, and Sheng Chi did respond.
"Second question."
"But there are people who clearly know that I have been wronged and still come to frame me for the crime."
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
It’s just that when I asked this time, most people really didn’t have it.
They know that this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, but they actively ignore it, but they do not fully understand the ins and outs of the matter.
Naturally, I didn't come here specifically to frame someone up.
"Your Majesty, please be aware that we were just confused for a moment and did something we shouldn't have done out of jealousy."
"Yes, yes, His Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, no matter what we do, we will not be so dirty."
"We know clearly that His Highness the Crown Prince has been wronged, and yet we come to frame him and frame him. We can't do that."
Many voices sounded.
They still have a bottom line on this point, it's mainly just unhappiness and jealousy, nothing else really.
But most of them are like this, and some people are trembling all over and their faces are pale.
This group of people dare not speak.
But the Holy Ruler is already vibrating and can be activated at any time.
"Those who do not answer will have their talents diminished and will be escorted to the Hanging Deng Division."
Gu Jinnian spoke coldly.
Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me. It's because I'm obsessed with things. I'm not a son of man. Please forgive me, Your Highness, Your Highness."
The first voice sounded.
He was one of the first ten people to come out. He knelt on the ground and begged Gu Jinnian to forgive him.
As one person spoke, voices soon sounded out.
There were quite a few people there, four to five hundred people at a glance.
The people saw it very clearly, and at the same time they gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Don't be afraid of people being stupid, just be afraid of people being bad. Although there are not many of them, they are the ones who set the pace. Without them, this matter would not have reached this level.
As for this group of scholars, they were also a little surprised.
Then they started to curse one after another, thinking that this group of people took the lead and deliberately caused harm, taking advantage of their jealousy.
Some people even asked Gu Jinnian to punish these people severely.
There was no movement from the Holy Ruler. It was obvious that these people had all been recruited.
"My third question is, are there any of you who have been instructed by the Confucian family?"
Gu Jinnian asked the third question.
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Many people were shocked and speechless.
Gu Jinnian's first two questions were fine, they were just asking for justice.
But this third question is intriguing.
There are more than 30,000 scholars. Look at me and I look at you. Most of them did not participate.
But it is true that there are a small number of people, to be more precise, a very small number of people, whose faces are not very good-looking.
"I don't."
"I do not have either."
"I don't even know the Kong family, let alone be ordered by them."
Voices sounded one after another.
But a very small number of people did not answer.
There were not many people, only about ten people.
"Why don't you answer?"
Gu Jinnian stood on the city gate, looking at them with a cold tone.
"I'll wait. I'll refuse to answer."
"Gu Jinnian, you can kill or scrape as you wish. I am not convinced and do not want to answer."
"That's right, we just don't accept it. You use the holy weapon to suppress us. We don't answer any questions you ask."
These people spoke.
Obviously, faced with offending the Kong family and offending Gu Jinnian, they chose the latter without hesitation.
However, such remarks have already made many people suspicious.
What do you mean by not answering?
It's just a ghost in my heart.
got this reply.
Gu Jinnian knew it well, and he also guessed this was the result, so he was not angry.
"Come here, capture all these people, detain the hanging lamp department, and interrogate the people behind the scenes."
"As for these hundreds of people, they are exempted."
"You are not at fault for disobeying me, but gathering a crowd to cause trouble will not happen next time."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, and those who didn't say anything were immediately taken away and tortured.
It can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
As for these people who are indeed disobedient to him, Gu Jinnian will not punish them.
If you don't obey, you will be punished? This is true domineering.
Gu Jinnian knew very well that some people didn't like even two banknotes, let alone a person.
Right is right, wrong is wrong, and you should be punished.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinnian looked at most of the scholars and said that ninety-nine percent of them followed the trend to cause trouble because of jealousy.
"As for you and others."
"Go home, stay home for three months, and excerpt the scriptures of saints a thousand times. When will you become virtuous? When will you take the imperial examination again? I will give you a chance to change your ways."
"But if you do it again, I will never forgive you lightly."
D.
There are more than 30,000 people, and it is impossible for Gu Jinnian to punish them all. As for what Yang Kai said, canceling the qualifications for three imperial examinations, this punishment is very severe.
It's cool, but you will also be resented by others. It's not necessary. It's normal for people to be jealous.
But there is also a degree of punishment.
If they are virtuous, it is a good thing.
If they have no virtue, they cannot take part in the imperial examination and the punishment will be the same.
But Gu Jinnian's behavior surprised many people, even the officials were a little surprised.
These scholars were even more surprised.
They thought it was a catastrophe, but they didn't expect Gu Jinnian to let them go.
For a moment, these scholars couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"We feel sorry for you, Your Majesty, and please rest assured. We will keep what happened today in mind and we will be virtuous and moral in the future."
"It's our jealousy that causes trouble. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is really upright."
"I admire the prince's broad mind."
At this moment, they spoke from the heart.
They spoke one after another, not only because they escaped, but more importantly, because of such a big heart, they really had to admire and admire him.
Even on the city wall, Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, was also a little surprised.
He never expected that Gu Jinnian would be so kind, showing kindness and power at the same time, which was really a good trick.
For a moment, Yang Kai couldn't help but bow to Gu Jinnian again.
"His Royal Highness, you are truly broad-minded."
he praised.
Gu Jinnian shook his head and then continued to speak.
"Someone from the Qu Mansion will tell the Kong family when they return."
"I will travel thousands of miles, following the path of the saints, and go to the Confucius family next month to attend the Confucius family banquet."
"All grudges will be settled one by one at the Confucius family banquet."
"During this period, please don't play any more conspiracies, otherwise I won't mind overthrowing the Kong family."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
He is very domineering.
Telling everyone is actually a kind of distant response.
He will go to the Kong family dinner.
However, he must realize the truth.
Know the sage and establish his words.
Return to the Kong family.
But during this period, he didn't want to be disturbed, so he hoped that the Kong family would restrain themselves.
If he continues to spread rumors like this and cause trouble, he will definitely not give him any face when he comes to the Kong family.
