If Zhang Shou were here, facing Zhang Dakuai's inexperienced questioning, he would surely helplessly remind him, "Don't force yourself to act like a fool..." However, since he sent Zhang Dakuai to ask this question, it meant that he had no expectation of the result. Whether Confucius really walked away in anger or retorted, it didn't matter.
As a result, Zhang Dakui was immediately met with a fierce counterattack from Kong Daxueshi: "What do you mean no matter how many crimes you have committed, as long as you are sick, it will all be over? What crime did Kong Jiu commit? Tell me clearly, and I will go back and ask someone to surrender to the government! My Kong family is innocent, if there is really a scum, I will never tolerate it!"
This is different from what the teacher said!
If Zhang Dakuo was replaced by his father, Zhang Qiong, the Earl of Xiangyang, he would have been ridiculed immediately and would not have paid any attention to the righteous words of Confucius. However, Zhang Dakuo was not his father who had made great achievements on the battlefield. After being yelled at by Confucius, he was a little timid.
Fortunately, there is also a savage element in his character, so after a moment of stunned silence, he immediately said stiffly: "My father often said that those people in this world who are passionate and righteous often cannot stand up to scrutiny. There are too many people who say one thing and do another, and often give up their duties. Master Kong should not learn from these people who say one thing and mean another."
After saying this, he was afraid that Master Kong would fight back again, so he bowed solemnly and immediately ran away. Sure enough, he had only turned around and walked out a few steps when he heard Master Kong's angry voice: "Like father, like son!"
Fortunately, I walked fast. If my father heard this sentence, he would not be angry, but would praise me. Zhang Daku thought so in his heart, and quickly quickened his pace, ignoring the surprised looks from all around.
The candidates who came to listen to the lecture couldn't help but be surprised. If this happened in the local area, even the wealthy and powerful would not offend the local officials. Not to mention the prefect, even the county magistrate would often show some respect to him, so as not to encounter a tough and fearless person who would ruin his family. So in their view, the current cabinet elder was simply an all-powerful person.
Now, a man like Mr. Kong would actually be confronted by a young man in person
Scholar Kong, who knew Zhang Dakui, had originally planned to have a heated debate with him in public. He had even prepared a lot of fierce speeches, and then try to break some news at the critical moment to minimize the impact of Mr. Kong Jiu's cases on himself and his family.
But he never thought that the obviously young and inexperienced big guy Zhang would just run away after saying something! Just now, he heard someone arguing with him unconvinced after conveying Zhang Shou's question. He thought this guy was easy to deal with. Now it seems that none of Zhang Shou's students are easy to deal with. They are so cunning!
Qi Liang, who was here today because of Zhang Shou's instructions, saw that the face of Mr. Kong changed several times, and finally he sat there with a sullen face, he couldn't help but admire the shrewdness of this elder, but he couldn't help wondering why Zhang Shou would look for a piece of charcoal like Zhang Dakuai for such a matter.
