Chapter 116 My junior brother Meng Ke has the qualifications to be a sub-sage!
At this moment, Kong Bai's eyes flickered and he looked directly at Huang. The national teacher of a country entered Qufu. Firstly, he did not go to the Lu court. Secondly, he did not enter the Kong family, but entered Qufu Academy.
He was very suspicious of Huang's purpose.
He knew very well that before Huang entered Qufu, he was assassinated, and the person who assassinated him was a member of the Mo family.
Huang killed all the Mohist disciples of the Mohist family. With the nature of the Mohist family, it was impossible to just let it go.
Moreover, he got news that a group of secret agents from Lu State were evacuating.
The identity has basically been determined.
That was the hidden secret of Qin Guoguo's office.
At this juncture, the removal of the hidden child made people suspicious of the conspiracy behind it. After thinking about it again and again, Kong Bai decided to invite Huang into the house to test it out.
In his view, the Confucian family today should unite within Confucianism, resolve conflicts among various sects, and then unite into a single rope.
At this time, he did not want to offend Huang, the master of Qin, nor did he want to be targeted by the Mo family.
Facing Kong Bai's gaze, Huang couldn't help but put down his wine cup, then chuckled and said, "Why, the master of the house doesn't believe that I entered Qufu Academy because I admire the Master?"
"I believe it." Kong Bai showed a harmless expression: "But I don't believe it entirely.
Who is the National Preceptor?
The Imperial Master knows better than me."
He took a sip of wine and smiled.
Kong Bai is still a little younger,
As soon as the conversation started, things started to go wrong.
I'm so frustrated.
Today's Kong Bai is too young and is not yet an old fox. He still has a long way to go before he can become a qualified head of the family.
Being young means that you don’t have enough experience, and you can’t do things that are perfect.
"Haha, the master is happy, so I won't hide it from the master." A trace of curiosity and yearning appeared on Huang's face: "It is said that Master is born with supernatural powers and has a terrifying cultivation level. The master also knows that Huang is a martial artist and he yearns for him..."
"Therefore, when I transferred to Qufu, I thought about the descendants of Daozi, or perhaps Confucian people..."
Hearing this, Kong Bai's face looked a little ugly. Among Confucians, apart from their Kong family, which belongs to the authentic sect, there are eight other sects.
Moreover, the master at that time had inheritance for each of the eight sects, and even the martial arts training method.
This is also the case over the years,
Although Confucianism recognizes Kong's orthodoxy, it is the reason why it never listens to Kong's orders.
He knew in his heart that if things continued like this, the Kong family might not even be able to maintain its authenticity.
After all, Meng Zong, one of the eight sects, had a generation of geniuses. But this branch was branched off from their authentic sect.
Meng Ke was a second disciple of Kong Ji and the younger brother of his family master.
One person forms a sect, which shows Meng Ke's mighty momentum today.
If Meng Ke was not of the same generation as him, there would still be some room for comment, but Meng Ke was his junior brother and his father's disciple.
People in the world will definitely compare them with each other. You can imagine the pressure he feels when meeting such a junior brother with such monstrous qualifications.
"Today's Confucians, the only one who can be considered a strong person and a genius is Meng Ke!" After a while, Kong Bai spoke.
"Meng Ke!"
Huang remembers clearly that Mencius's name was Ke, his courtesy name was Ziyu, and he was from the state of Zou.
A philosopher, thinker, and educator during the Warring States Period, he was a representative figure of the Confucian school after Confucius and before Xunzi.
And together with Confucius, he is called Confucius and Mencius.
This is another Confucian master after Confucius, who is called the Lesser Sage by the world.
Mencius preached benevolent government and was the first to put forward the idea of valuing the people and despising the monarch. He was an outstanding figure who inherited Confucius' orthodoxy among the pre-Qin Confucians.
In terms of human nature, Mencius advocated the theory of good nature, and at the same time advocated the theory of benevolent government and kingly law.
He opposed the practice of hegemony, that is, using annexation wars to conquer other countries; he advocated benevolent government, winning the support of the people, and subduing without fighting.
The benevolent are invincible.
Mencius believed that if you practice the royal way, you can be invincible in the world.
Huang knew in his heart that Mencius was the pioneer of Confucian kingship, and he awakened Ji Gaoyang and turned the kingly path into hegemony, thus allowing Ji Gaoyang to embark on another path.
In an era, Confucian kings and hegemonic successors were born at the same time. At this moment, even Huang was a little excited. The world would compete with each other and it would be extremely brilliant.
Huang understood Kong Bai's intention of mentioning Meng Ke. He also wanted to give Mencius a try, but definitely not now, and he would not become a sharp knife in Kong Bai's hands.
Before Ji Gaoyang grew up and Yang Zhu returned home, he decided to be more cautious when facing these various schools of thought.
"Haha, Meng Ke's fame has skyrocketed. I would like to congratulate the head of the family. In the future, a sub-sage will appear in Confucianism."
Kong Bai's face was a bit ugly, but he was still the master of everyone. He calmed down his emotions almost instantly and said to Huang, "Haha, my junior brother Meng Ke has the qualifications of a sub-sage!"
"National Master, if you want to learn about Confucianism, you should go to the other eight sects. I, the Kong family, am just the master, nothing more."
Kong Bai was a very smart man. He might not be as good as Meng Ke in terms of knowledge, but in his conduct as a family leader, he was far superior to Meng Ke and others.
What he said was to avoid Huang and confront the Kong family. The Kong family is now suppressed by the eight sects and is somewhat weak in itself.
At this time, he didn't want to have another enemy, and judging from Huang's methods against the Mo family, he was decisive in killing and he was a ruthless person.
"Haha, I have no intention of confronting the master of the family. Naturally, I have to ask the strongest person when it comes to swordsmanship. Today's Confucianism, Meng Ke's reputation has skyrocketed."
Huang glanced at Kong Bai meaningfully: "When Meng Ke is crowned his son, I will ask the sword Meng Ke. After that, I hope that the master of the family can give me some advice."
"After all, the eight sects of Confucianism left by the Master are still not as good as the Confucian sect of Qufu."
Laughing loudly, Kong Bai took a deep look at Huang and said firmly, "If that day comes, Bai will not hold back."
"By the way, Ji Gaoyang is the disciple I like, so I ask the Imperial Master to show mercy."
"Haha, the head of the family is worrying too much." Huang shook his head and said seriously: "I am a martial artist, I cannot teach a scholar."
"Ji Gaoyang has already gone a long way toward Confucianism. In this life, he can only work hard on Confucianism."
"I will not ruin a great talent in this world. Ji Gaoyang and I are just Taoist friends for a while. We sit and talk about Taoism, and we will not become masters and disciples."
The two exchanged ideas and each got what they wanted. Huang stood up and said goodbye. Kong Bai did not hold back, but sent Huang out.
At the door of the mansion, Kong Bai paused slightly and turned towards Huang, saying: "Master, in Qufu, people from the Mohist family don't dare to mess around."
"If you are not too sure, don't leave Qufu. I'll say this. The Imperial Master takes it very seriously!"
Hearing this, Huang stopped and turned to look at Kong Bai. He couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you, Mr. Kong, for reminding me. I understand."
Looking back, the smile on Huang's face faded, and instantly turned gloomy. As expected of the Kong family, in Qufu, in terms of being well-informed, even the Lu court was not as good as the Kong family.
With thousands of thoughts in his mind, he strode away.
