In their opinion, although Gu Jinnian is the grandson of the Duke of Guo, and he is usually arrogant, he is only arrogant in his own circle.
But this is Wenxin Study Room.
Not to mention the grandson of the Duke, even if he is the grandson of the current dynasty, he must be more honest.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian was quite honest in school, at least in front of Master Liu.
But I never thought that it was just like taking the wrong medicine today. It was a bit weird to catch Zhang Yun and confront him.
Food for thought.
"Gu Jinnian, you are using strong words to make excuses."
Zhang Yun was so stunned by Gu Jinnian's rebuke that he didn't know what to say for a long time, so he could only say this.
"Strong words?"
"Who is making excuses?"
"The sage has something to say. If you can do anything beneficial, you must predict it. You open your mouth and shut your mouth because you are the common people, but you don't even know the basic food and clothing of the common people."
"Isn't this just talking on paper and just adding to the joke?"
"I dare to ask Master Liu whether what the student said makes sense."
Gu Jinnian didn't care about that. He already had a grudge against Zhang Yun, not to mention that he needed to grudge now, so naturally he wouldn't miss this opportunity.
As for whether these words are the words of a saint, Gu Jinnian doesn't care. As long as they are true principles, there is nothing wrong with saying they were said by a saint.
This has been the case throughout history. If others don't believe the truth you say, just tell them who said it. Immediately, the gold content of your words will be high.
The same is true in this world.
As long as you don't know whether it is true or not, then it is what the saint said. Moreover, the saint has said so many things in his life, and you are not sure whether he has said this.
"kindness."
Facing Gu Jinnian's question, Master Liu nodded. He did not choose to favor Zhang Yun.
From this we can see that Mr. Liu still has professional ethics.
As soon as he said these words, Zhang Yun's face instantly became extremely ugly.
Even Master Liu helped Gu Jinnian, what could he say?
I was a little angry and a little aggrieved, but I couldn't refute it.
Zhang Yun took a deep breath, looked at Master Liu and said.
"It's the student's fault."
Zhang Yun was very smart and did not have a big fight with Gu Jinnian in school. Instead, he promptly admitted his mistakes and left a good impression on everyone.
"What Jinnian said is not unreasonable. Zhang Yun, keep it in mind. This is not a bad thing for you."
Master Liu nodded.
Then he looked at Gu Jinnian with a gentle smile on his face.
"You should also learn from Jinnian. The people of the world should not just talk about it in their mouths, but keep it in their hearts."
"You don't even know the people's firewood, rice, oil and salt, but you talk about the people. It is indeed a bit grand."
"Jinnian, tell me, how much does a pound of coarse rice cost?"
Master Liu smiled.
What Gu Jinnian said just now is indeed very good, and it deserves praise and praise.
Just hearing what Master Liu said, Gu Jinnian was a little silent.
Ah...this.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Jinnian calmed down.
"Return to Master."
"Students don't know."
Gu Jinnian is very honest. He knows how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
Not to mention that he just traveled through time, even if he traveled through time for ten years, Gu Jinnian would not understand this.
I am a powerful person in Great Xia, why should I care about this thing?
Having enough to eat and nothing to do?
It just rang out with this answer.
The school instantly became quiet.
Especially the smile on Master Liu's face seemed a little stiff.
Zhang Yun was even more confused on the spot, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Your uncle's.
You don't know what you're asking me?
Are you still looking like you're going to attack someone?
Are you sick?
mine**.
Zhang Yun was so angry that he felt dizzy.
He looked directly at Gu Jinnian and said with a trembling voice.
"Gu Jinnian, you don't even know, why are you asking me?"
He was a little frustrated.
However, Gu Jinnian was calm.
"Don't you open your mouth and keep silent about the world?"
"I don't care about the common people."
"You want to know what this is for?"
Gu Jinnian's answer left Zhang Yun completely speechless.
He was silent.
But his face turned red.
Turning red with anger.
At this moment, Zhang Yun felt a mouthful of blood in his chest and almost vomited it out.
In an instant, a black energy spread out of Zhang Yun's body again and disappeared into his mind.
The fruits among the ancient trees also looked golden, as if they were about to ripen and fall to the ground.
"okay."
"Don't make any noise."
Master Liu also had a headache. He thought Gu Jinnian really understood some truth, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
But what Gu Jinnian said was right. He didn't care about the common people, so it was reasonable not to know.
Suppress the noise in the school.
Master Liu continued to speak.
"Next month, Daxia Academy will start a new round of enrollment."
"You must review well and study hard. Every time Daxia Academy recruits students, at least three people can be admitted in the study."
"Don't lose face in the study this time."
"Especially Zhang Yun, you have excellent qualifications, and your father is a contemporary scholar. You only need to work hard to get into Daxia Academy."
"It's just that you are impetuous, and sometimes you lose the big for the small. You are almost seventeen this year."
"If you don't enter the Qi Condensation stage before you turn eighteen, you will be in trouble later on."
Master Liu spoke up, changing the topic, and at the same time reminded Zhang Yun of the most important thing.
Condensation.
In the school, everyone couldn't help but get excited after hearing this.
If they were asked to study, their interest was average, but after hearing about the Confucian and Taoist systems, they naturally became interested.
Especially Gu Jinnian.
He knows that this world is not an ordinary world.
It is a world of immortals and warriors where immortals and martial arts coexist.
Immortals, Buddhism, Confucianism, martial arts, swords and magic.
There are seven major systems, and each system is divided into seven realms.
Gu Jinnian had no particular curiosity about immortals and Buddhas. He was just flying swords to find immortals, and the immortal and Buddhist systems involved cause and effect and karma, and had various restrictions.
What interests Gu Jinnian the most is Confucianism and Taoism.
Now that Master Liu mentioned this, Gu Jinnian could just ask.
"Master, what are the specific abilities of the seven realms of Confucianism and Taoism?"
"Have we reached the later stage, where we can suppress and kill a million-strong army with a pen?"
A voice sounded, interrupting what Zhang Yun was about to say.
But what Gu Jinnian said made Zhang Yun laugh.
"It's really ridiculous. You're still studying in the study, you don't even know the seven realms of Confucianism and Taoism, and yet you're writing to kill millions of heroes?"
"What do you think of us scholars?"
"Or do you look at weird stuff all day long and expose folk works to make people look embarrassed?"
Zhang Yun opened his mouth and spoke impassionedly.
After being suppressed by Gu Jinnian all day, he finally found an opportunity, so he naturally wanted to scold him back.
It's just that Zhang Yun's angry rebuke seemed a bit petty to Gu Jinnian.
Just by looking at Master Liu's expression, you can tell that his eyes are filled with disappointment for Zhang Yun.
"Then do you know how much a pound of coarse rice costs?"
Gu Jinnian looked at Zhang Yun and spoke slowly.
Zhang Yun: "......"
"What does this have to do with coarse rice?"
"Is there anything else you can ask besides this?"
Zhang Yun felt very angry.
"Then do you know how much a pound of coarse cloth costs?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
Zhang Yun: "......"
"have no idea!"
"I'm telling you this, why do you always carry coarse rice and coarse cloth?"
"If you have the ability, you can ask me about reading."
Zhang Yun was a little angry.
Gu Jinnian nodded and said.
"That's okay."
"What are the questions for this year's imperial examination?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
Zhang Yun: "......"
Everyone in the school: "......"
Master Liu: "......"
Quiet.
Deathly quiet.
Even Wu An and Li Ping outside the hall were silent.
Why did Gu Jinnian become so... fierce after not seeing each other for half a month?
It wasn't like this before.
"Shuzi."
Finally, Zhang Yun clenched his fists, pointed at Gu Jinnian and shouted.
He was really going to vomit blood.
Damn it, are you looking for trouble?
What are the imperial examination questions? Do you want me to know that I am standing here talking nonsense to you?
vomit.
Zhang Yun was so angry that he wanted to vomit, really, really wanted to vomit.
But before vomiting, Zhang Yun couldn't help but roared angrily.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Master Liu's angry voice sounded.
"presumptuous."
"Zhang Yun, how dignified are you?"
In an instant, Master Liu, who was sitting in the front seat, became angry.
He has always valued Zhang Yun. In his opinion, the conflict between Gu Jinnian and Zhang Yun is nothing more than the ignorance between children.
Just be patient with it a little bit.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Yun would be so out of character. In terms of status, Zhang Yun is no match for Gu Jinnian. If he didn't have a great Confucian father, what would he be?
It's okay to be reasonable and make trouble on weekdays, but now you dare to do this without being reasonable. Isn't this looking for death?
Master Liu's angry rebuke made Zhang Yun wake up instantly.
In an instant, his face became even more ugly.
It's just that Gu Jinnian ignored him. It was okay to have resentment, but there was no need to continue to be disgusted. After all, Master Liu was here.
"Master, can you explain in detail the seven realms of Confucianism and Taoism?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and looked at Master Liu.
The latter didn't want things to get into trouble, so when he saw Gu Jinnian giving him a step, he immediately spoke out.
"Jin Nian."
"The seven realms of Confucianism and Taoism are: reading to condense Qi, clarifying meaning and nourishing Qi, knowing the sage and establishing words, practicing moral conduct, writing books and preaching, establishing oneself in heaven and earth, becoming a saint and attaining the Tao."
"Therefore, it is also divided into those of condensing qi to be born, nourishing qi to lift people up, establishing eloquence and becoming a scholar, establishing moral Confucian masters, preaching great Confucianism, half-sages of heaven and earth, and attaining Tao saints."
Master Liu opened his mouth and told Gu Jinnian about the seven realms.
Gu Jinnian knew all this, and what he was curious about was the power within it.
"Master, I heard that the higher the level of immortality, the stronger the power of heaven and earth that can be controlled. It can turn rivers and seas upside down, and the stars can change. What about Confucianism?"
“Can one poem suppress a million-strong army?”
Gu Jinnian raised his own question.
"This is indeed the case in the Immortal Way. They eat Xia Xia, drink Qi, and practice themselves, but they cannot interfere with the cause and effect of the mortal world. There are pros and cons."
"The Confucian and Taoist systems are not designed to kill enemies. The poem you just mentioned can kill a million enemies. This is simply impossible."
"But Confucianism and Taoism are blessed by heaven and earth, and with a breath of awe in the heart, one is not afraid of all demons in heaven and earth."
"In other words, the higher the level of scholars in our generation, the stronger the awe-inspiring righteousness in our bodies will be."
"It's just like me, although I'm just setting up a realm of words, but within a radius of a hundred feet, the demons see me like the true sun. With my words, all the demons in the four realms are like being struck by lightning."
"Furthermore, scholars like us are blessed by the fate of heaven and earth. Anyone who is unfavorable to us will be counterattacked by fate. Whether it is an individual or a dynasty, killing scholars will be rejected by heaven and earth and their fate will be cut off."
"This is Confucianism and Taoism."
"Therefore, Confucians can speak frankly."
Master Liu spoke up and said this, explaining the pros and cons of Confucianism and Taoism.
And Gu Jinnian completely understood.
In other words, Confucianism and Taoism in this world cultivate Haoran righteousness, and Haoran righteousness is linked to the destiny of heaven and earth. If you kill a scholar, you will suffer the revenge of heaven and earth.
At the same time, Confucianism and Taoism inherently restrain demons, and nothing else.
But soon, Gu Jinnian thought of another question.
If it is not allowed to kill scholars, then Taizu and the current sage would often kill scholars.
There were some doubts, but Gu Jinnian didn't dare to ask directly. If he did, he would definitely be scolded.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian asked in a different way.
"In this case, wouldn't scholars be invincible in the world?"
Gu Jinnian asked pretendingly.
Just as he said this, Master Liu shook his head and said.
"There is something invincible there."
"Confucian scholars need to uphold their inner integrity if they want to be pure. If they join the same trend, they will destroy their own future."
"Furthermore, those with high Confucian status can suppress those with lower status, but they cannot be said to be invincible."
"Moreover, what I just said is just a metaphor. If you just express your words and provoke people you shouldn't provoke, the fate of the dynasty will be like a torrent, and your personal strength will still be insufficient."
Master Liu spoke up and gave a special reminder.
The general meaning is that if you become a scholar, you must also abide by the rules. Although you have the blessing of heaven and earth, if you really compete with the dynasty, you will still be dead.
What is the concept of dynasty luck? What is the concept of personal luck? Unless you are a saint.
This sentence can be regarded as clearing up Gu Jinnian's doubts.
"Master Liu, Confucianism and Taoism cannot kill the enemy, so if you recite poems and write lyrics, will there be light surrounding you?"
"What about Wenquxing Jiudong or something like that?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
As soon as he said this, Master Liu shook his head and said.
"Jinnian, if you have nothing to do, you really shouldn't go see some folk works."
"If you want to create a poem that can evoke visions from heaven and earth, you need at least a great Confucian to do it. Secondly, the poem must be appropriate to the occasion, and it must be excellent and rare."
Master Liu spoke out, a little tactfully.
At this moment, suddenly, the bell rang.
It is the literary bell of the study.
Ringing the bell means the morning class is over.
"okay."
"Let's all go and have a rest. After an hour, lunch class will start."
Master Liu spoke, and everyone immediately stood up and bowed to Master Liu.
However, when Master Liu was about to leave, Gu Jinnian's voice couldn't help but sound.
"Master."
"One more thing."
When the voice sounded, Master Liu became a little depressed.
Are you finished yet?
Are you sick?
Why do you have so many problems all day long?
Not only Master Liu, but others were also a little curious, wondering what kind of medicine Gu Jinnian took wrongly and why he was asking so many questions.
But thinking of being a teacher, Master Liu could only hold back the depression in his heart and look at Gu Jinnian in order to solve his confusion.
"Master, your homework has not been assigned yet."
