The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1265: Clear the emperor's side and punish the evildoers

Views:

Qingfeng Mountain stands between the capital and Yuyang Pass. The mountain is not big, no more than fifty miles long and no more than a hundred feet high. It is located on the west side of the official road and usually does not attract attention.

With a loud shout of "The traitorous prime minister should die", more than three hundred scholars rushed out from the mountains.

There were Jinshi scholars wearing white robes and swords, there were Hanlin scholars wearing white robes with ink plum patterns, there was a university scholar wearing green robes and stepping on white clouds, and at the end of the team, there was actually an old scholar in a purple robe, walking slowly forward with his hands behind his back.

The great scholar walked very slowly, but each step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart, making everyone in the Left Prime Minister's army feel their breathing was obstructed.

The other scholars rushed out quickly, but the old scholar seemed to be taking a walk. It clearly didn't seem like he was going to take action, but everyone felt that this scholar was the one holding the line!

The stupid scholar, Tian Songshi.

Among the scholars who had crossed the ocean of learning not long ago, he was the only great scholar, and he gave the top-quality Wenxin fish, which was as stable as a mountain, to Fang Yun, and he only took a mid-quality Spring and Autumn Annals Wenxin fish.

The soldiers of the Left Prime Minister's Guard were so frightened when they saw so many murderous scholars that their legs went weak. For a moment, they didn't know what to do. The gap between the two sides was too big. There were more than ten grand secretaries alone, and more than forty Hanlin scholars. There were not so many people with high literary status among the officials of the Panoramic Kingdom.

These people did not even wear masks, and did not even change their official robes. Looking around, it looked like scholars from all over the world were displaying their official robes. There were scholars not only from Shengyuan Continent, but also from Liangjie Mountain, Zhenyu Sea, and the ancient land of Huangcheng.

General Zhou Junhu of Jing State was among them.

Zhou Junhu roared, "We are here to purge the emperor for Jingguo and punish the evil for the saints. All irrelevant people should retreat immediately. If anyone resists, we will kill them without mercy!"

When the soldiers heard the words "clear the emperor's entourage and punish the rebels," they instinctively retreated.

Regardless of the outcome, soldiers who died in battle would receive generous compensation, such as if they died in battle against demons and barbarians, but if they died in the "punishment of traitors", the compensation would be greatly reduced.

The human race has many unwritten conventions.

Once the slogan of "punishing the traitors" was raised, the Holy Academy determined that Liu Shan had made a major mistake and that it was justifiable for him to avenge Fang Yun. Then, even if they killed a great scholar and a left prime minister, the punishment these people received was only exile to various ancient lands, and they would never be allowed to return to the Holy Yuan Continent.

Neither will their families be implicated nor will they be killed.

In the works of Mencius and many other saints, punishing the traitors is a righteous act! It is sacrificing one's life for righteousness!

Even some radical semi-saints have said that punishing the rebellious is the last authority bestowed upon the human race by heaven and earth. Despicable and shameless people will vent their anger on innocent people, while true scholars will point the finger at the culprit, using thunderous means to show their benevolence and righteousness.

A large number of soldiers retreated quickly, and many even turned around and ran.

Some Jingguo soldiers shouted as they ran: "Brothers, ask yourself, is it worth losing your life for the Left Prime Minister?"

"Fuck the Left Prime Minister! I have wanted to run away for a long time, but now someone is here to punish the rebels. If I don't resist, I will be punished by military law. If I fight back, it will be against my conscience. I have done many wrong things in my life, but this time, I can't get over the hurdle of conscience! Anyone who harms Saint Fang Xu shall be punished!"

"Run! We can't be Zuo Cheng's running dog!"

In a civil war between humans, if more than 30% of one side's soldiers were killed, their formation would inevitably fall apart, their morale would inevitably be completely lost, and their soldiers would inevitably begin to flee in defeat.

Now, more than half of the soldiers began to flee, and some people started to shout. There was even a Juren officer who cursed Liu Shan with a swift tongue, and the whole team collapsed instantly!

Thousands of people fled!

Except for Liu Shan's private soldiers and a few hundred elite soldiers, all the soldiers fled in the opposite direction like a tide, leaving behind a large number of chariots, horses and weapons.

The anti-rebel team of more than 300 people quickly approached the front of Zuo Xiang's team.

The private soldiers of the Left Prime Minister began to riot, but neither the barbarians nor the human scholars fled, because they were private soldiers, and once the Left Prime Minister died, the barbarian private soldiers would inevitably be executed, and even if the scholars would not be executed, their entire family would be exiled forever.

The Grand Secretaries who rushed over all had writing desks on their heads, their eyes flashing. Like all the Hanlin and Jinshi scholars, they were ready to fire sharp words at any time.

The scholars who saw this scene were extremely frightened, because the intentions of these people who wanted to punish the rebels were too obvious. They actually wanted to fire their verbal attacks at the same time, forming a resonance and doubling their power.

Not to mention a university scholar, even a great scholar or a great demon king would be seriously injured or even killed by this level of verbal sparring.

The sound of pearls and jade rang out from the largest carriage in the team.

"As soon as I left Beijing, I met all my literary friends who came to wish me a happy new year. I am so lucky."

The carriage exploded, and Liu Shan stepped on the blue sky and slowly rose up. Three trapezoidal platforms appeared in the sky behind him!

Not only were the left prime minister's guards stunned, but even the man who wanted to punish the rebels was slightly stunned. From his original courageous attitude, he became cautious and prepared to find a chance to attack instead of making a blind move immediately.

One person has three literary platforms, which is something that only the top genius university scholars can possess. If there are more, the chance of becoming a semi-saint will increase dramatically!

There are two types of Wentai, one is specialized and the other is broad. No matter which one, as long as it reaches the extreme, it will become a terrifying existence.

Li Wenying only has one "Jian Ge Wen Tai", but its power is thorough, which he uses to enhance the Lixue Ancient Sword, making his strength pure and terrifying.

The fact that Liu Shan was able to build three literary platforms shows that his understanding of the holy way is no less than that of Li Wenying.

Everyone recognized the three Wentai, and everyone was extremely surprised, because this was the first time that Zuo Xiang showed the power of Wentai, and the type of Wentai was also unexpected.

The first one is the Confucian "Great Unification Wentai", which is one of the powers of the Confucian semi-saint Dong Zhongshu. The great unification proposed by Dong Zhongshu of the Shengyuan Continent is to regard Confucianism as the source and master of all schools of thought, to unify all schools of thought with the Confucian holy way, and to let the Confucian holy way forcibly swallow up all the holy ways.

Although Dong Zhongshu's ideas were resisted by hundreds of schools of thought, they were in line with the hopes of Confucian scholars.

This Great Unification Wentai contains the power of "banishing all schools of thought" and is very domineering. However, the so-called "banishing all schools of thought" is just a name. The real idea of the Great Unification is that anything that does not conform to the Confucian holy way can be exterminated.

The second one is the "Hezong Wentai" of the diplomats. The so-called Hezong, in the Warring States Period, refers to uniting the forces of all countries in the world to attack Qin. Its essence is to unite the weak to attack the strong, which is the main holy way of the diplomats today. Uniting with the barbarians to attack the demons is the main strategy of the sage.

If the "Great Unified Wentai" forms power through absolute tyranny, then the Hezong Wentai gathers weaker forces and gradually unites them to form an extremely powerful force with unparalleled might.

The third Wentai has similarities with the previous two. It is the "Integrated Wentai" formed by the supreme holy doctrine of the eclectic school of "combining Confucianism and Mohism with Nominalism and Legalism."

Some scholars who were about to kill the Left Prime Minister were stunned, because many years ago a great scholar of the eclectic school had calculated that if someone could really possess the "Great Unified Literature Office", "Hezong Literature Office" and "Combined Literature Office" at the same time, then this person would be responsible for the future of the eclectic school!

Because these three types of writing desks have contradictory as well as similar aspects, once they appear on one person at the same time, there will be unexpected benefits.
