This was something Cui Yan didn't expect at all. He looked at Lu Xuan and saw Lu Xuan's young face, but he felt helpless in his heart.
Lu Xuan is too good at calculating.
Lu Xuan confidently said that he loved money and refused to give him the manufacturing technology of papermaking. If Lu Xuan rejected Cui Yan just because of money, not many celebrities and scholars would support Lu Xuan. Even if Zheng Xuan supported it, some people would have selfish motives and would think
Then Lu Xuan was asked to hand over his papermaking skills.
The key is that Lu Xuan's methods are too powerful.
He directly said that the famous scholars and scholars who taught in the Five Classics Hall could not only have a salary, but also be an official.
There are very few famous scholars and scholars in the world who really don't admire glitz and don't like being an official. At least most people want to be officials in their hearts. So it is very important that Lu Xuan allows the famous scholars and scholars who teach to be officials.
.
Being an official while also being able to do what you like, such as studying classics or preaching and teaching, is what people like the most.
It is still impossible for Cui Yan to retreat.
If he retreats, it will be like a slap in the face and he will not be able to gain a foothold.
Cui Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly thought of his retreat. The Cui family in Qinghe also had a certain reputation. He had no chance with Lu Xuan, so he could go north to work under Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was stronger than Lu Xuan.
Cui Yan thought about his escape route and said again: "Lu Xuan, you are playing tricks and are more obsessed with profit. Your behavior is extremely bad and will inevitably fail. You will definitely regret it in the future."
Lu Xuan said loudly: "I will never regret anything I do. Even if a thousand people accuse me of it, I will not regret it. Even if there is an abyss ahead, I will not change my ambition. I, Lu Xuan, will walk the path I have decided on, even if I kneel down.
Go down."
Cui Yan flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "Lu Xuan, you are really stubborn."
"You are the one who is stubborn."
Zheng Xuan was completely angry.
He was a little disappointed with Cui Yan's behavior before. Now, he is completely disappointed and doesn't give up any hope.
Zheng Xuan's turbid eyes showed an unprecedented sharpness, and he said loudly: "Cui Yan, it is your own business to seek benefits for the family. I will not interfere, and I have no right to interfere with you, because you have your own rules of conduct.
"
"But, you said that Lu Xuan is obsessed with it, but it's actually you who is obsessed with it."
Zheng Xuan's voice was not loud, but his voice was as cold as ever.
He looked at Cui Yan's expression, which also showed alienation and indifference, and continued: "You are already in your early thirties, you have your own ideas and your own ambitions. They say that like-minded people gather together, but those who don't agree with each other will sooner or later part ways. From now on.
From today on, you don’t have to follow me anymore, so you can do your own thing."
Cui Yan's expression suddenly changed.
Zheng Xuan didn't say to drive him out of the door, nor did he say to sever ties with him, but that's what he actually meant.
Cui Yan's eyes turned red, his breathing became rapid, and his body trembled slightly.
People from big families value reputation the most.
Because he was recognized by Zheng Xuan and became Zheng Xuan's disciple, he had a certain influence and power in the family. When he returned to the family, everyone fawned over him and asked him what he had learned from Zheng Xuan.
Once he loses his status as a disciple of Zheng Xuan, even though he comes from the Cui family, the attitude of the whole Cui family towards him will definitely change.
His future is worrying.
He was abandoned by Zheng Xuan, and no one would accuse Zheng Xuan of doing anything wrong, because Zheng Xuan was the Confucian sect of the world.
People outside will only blame Cui Yan.
Cui Yan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "I have always followed the teacher and served the teacher, but now, the teacher asked me to leave for an irrelevant person like Lu Xuan. Disciple, I am not convinced."
Zheng Xuan said: "I have already said what needs to be said, and I did not say that you were wrong. However, after all, we have different minds and different paths, so I will give you a broader prospect and go for it on your own."
"I don't accept it!"
Cui Yan spoke loudly again.
He seemed to be going crazy, feeling angrier than ever before and unwilling to give up. Once he left, he would completely lose everything.
When Zheng Xuan saw Cui Yan entangled, his eyes became colder. The only remaining relationship with Cui Yan was broken because of Cui Yan's words. He stood up, feeling a little excited. Guo Yuan stepped forward to help him, but was pushed away by Zheng Xuan.
.
Zheng Xuan said coldly: "Why are you not convinced?"
"When I was preaching and teaching in Beihai Kingdom, you came to study with me. Although you were studying, your mind was on social relations. You spent all day getting closer to the scholars in the mountains and building up your reputation."
"Have you paid attention to the refugees in Beihai?"
"Have you ever thought about teaching the many poor people gathered under my command?"
"You didn't even do it."
"If you gathered the refugees when you were in Beihai Kingdom. Even when you were in Beihai Kingdom, you vigorously taught poor people. Then now, if you ask Lu Shijun to hand over your new paper manufacturing skills, I support you."
"But, you didn't even look at the common people or the poor people. Where did you get the courage to ask Lu Shijun to hand over the manufacturing process of new paper?"
Zheng Xuan flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "Being a man and doing things requires sincerity, awe, and even more shame. You talk about morality and justice, but in fact you lie, without any sincerity."
"When you face a Lu Shijun who has the ambition to be a scholar in the world and aspires to preach to the world, you don't have the slightest respect. On the contrary, you are aggressive."
"You are only interested in profit. You have no bottom line and no sense of shame for the sake of profit."
"I can't keep a person like you who has no sincerity, no awe, and no sense of shame. So today, the relationship between master and disciple between you and me is severed. I hope you can find your own way in the future."
Cui Yan's mind exploded.
Zheng Xuan asked him to leave before, although he had the intention of expelling him from the door. However, if he carefully picked out the words, he could shamelessly say that he was still Zheng Xuan's disciple. Anyway, Zheng Xuan did not explicitly say that he would sever his official career relationship.
It's different now.
Zheng Xuan personally said that he was severing the relationship between master and disciple. He really said this and there was no room for relaxation.
The scholars around him also started talking.
Many people looked at Zheng Xuan with surprised expressions. Because Zheng Xuan's decision was really decisive and his methods were very powerful. Even his disciple Cui Yan wanted to support Lu Xuan.
Obviously, Zheng Xuan firmly supported Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was surprised when he saw this scene. He had no contact with Zheng Xuan and it was his first meeting. Cui Yan opposed him and wanted to seize the papermaking technology. In order to support him, Zheng Xuan directly broke off the master-disciple relationship with Cui Yan.
