The Eclectic School claims to "combine Confucianism and Mohism, and Nominalism and Legalism", and claims to be able to accommodate everything and encompass all doctrines, but in fact, the holy doctrine of the Eclectic School is extremely complex.
The eclectic school has no saint to suppress it and no educational foundation, yet it has proposed such a difficult-to-achieve goal. If it continues like this, it will inevitably decline.
Therefore, in order to get out of this predicament, the eclectic school had to specialize in the art of being an official.
However, even the way of being an official is too broad, because without any strong core of the holy way, the various holy ways of the miscellaneous schools have inherent deficiencies.
Miscellaneous scholars originally thought that they could do everything and do everything well, but after the civil service examination was divided into different subjects, they realized that miscellaneous scholars simply knew everything but were good at nothing.
To date, eclectic schools have neither been able to truly "combine Confucianism and Mohism, and integrate Nominalism and Legalism" nor have they been able to refine a powerful holy path.
Therefore, Zongsheng wanted to make use of the holy way of the strategists and wanted to rely on his own natural talent to forcibly seize immortal achievements, to maneuver and stabilize the inside and outside, and to re-establish the direction of the holy way for the eclectic school.
Unfortunately, from the very beginning, Fang Yun had been obstructing Zongsheng at every turn.
Unfortunately, Zongsheng was never able to directly counterattack.
The saint does not block the way.
This is the iron rule of the Holy Academy, because even if Confucius were to be resurrected, there is no way to be sure whether the new changes can form a new holy path and strengthen the human race.
Therefore, while the Holy Court was doing its best to resist the cultural erosion of foreign enemies, it was also vigorously relaxing restrictions on human thought. This was one of the reasons why the power of the Hall of Rites was gradually weakening, and it was also one of the reasons why the Hall of Rites could only target large families and rarely individuals.
There are even semi-saints who have said that opening up a new holy path is too difficult, but strangling it is easy, so if you are truly a human, you should put away your hands that strangle it.
It is better to release thousands by mistake than to kill one.
This is one of the reasons why the human race is constantly making progress, one of the reasons why Fang Yun has not been strangled so far, and one of the reasons why those who oppose Fang Yun have not been killed by the Holy Academy.
Under the premise of not violating morality, laws and national interests, a perfect human race will inevitably have different voices. Otherwise, it will be replaced by more dynamic groups and eliminated by all worlds.
Precisely because the Saint does not block the Way, the Miscellaneous Family was unable to directly deal with Fang Yun. Therefore, after the Miscellaneous Family discovered that Jing Guo and Fang Yun were threatening them, they decided to launch an all-out counterattack, including using the Saint Way to seal and force Fang Yun to give up fighting with the Miscellaneous Family.
But at the moment, it seems like half of the battle has failed.
Zong Ganyu gritted his teeth and said slowly: "As long as we can pass the civil servant examination, when my Miscellaneous Saint Dao breaks through, Zong Sheng may be able to make further progress. By then, even if we don't use the Saint Dao to suppress and seal, even if we don't expel the officials of Jingguo, we will have more ways and stronger forces to suppress Jingguo! Everyone, don't forget one thing, Chen... The one of Jingguo is about to fall. As long as we control the civil servant examination, Jingguo is nothing but a piece of cake!"
Zong Ganyu finally expressed his true thoughts.
"So, is there anyone who still objects?" Hong Maoshan asked.
No one objects.
The proceedings continued.
The great scholars of various schools did not sleep all night. At seven o'clock the next morning, Hong Maoshan led the peace negotiation officials of various schools and took the initiative to go to the residence of the Jingguo Peace Negotiation Office personnel.
However, when they arrived at the residence of the Jingguo Peace Negotiations officials in the Holy Courtyard, everyone was stunned.
All the people from Jingguohetansi left.
Everyone was annoyed and angry.
"This is too much!" A scholar from the Qing State was furious.
Hong Maoshan remained calm and said, "Everyone should set off immediately and take the Sky-walking Tower Ship to the capital of Jing State to negotiate actively."
"Mr. Hong..."
"Those who violate the rules will be kicked out of my house!" Hong Maoshan shouted in a low voice and left in a huff.
The many miscellaneous officials who remained in place have already realized a lot.
More than half of the people shed tears of shame, anger and pain.
Within an hour, a piece of news spread throughout the forum and Jingguo.
Many officials from various families boarded the Sky-traveling Tower ship and took the initiative to go to the State of Jing for peace talks.
As soon as the news came out, people all over Jing State beat drums and gongs and hung up lanterns and decorations.
On the bank of the Yangtze River, a passenger ship full of passengers slowly sailed away, and the waves were moved by the ship and gently hit the shore.
On the passenger ship, a pale-faced scholar looked proudly at an anxious juren on the shore.
"Guan Che, don't be anxious. It will be your turn on the next boat." The pale-faced scholar sneered.
The scholar Guan Che had a complicated expression on his face and said, "Ji Wu, considering our long-standing friendship, when you get to Qing State, don't forget to support me."
"Okay, okay, I will certainly not forget my old classmates!" Ji Wu's tone was still full of sarcasm.
Others didn't understand why a juren was so afraid of a scholar, but his fellow villagers knew it clearly.
Since childhood, Ji Wu and Guan Guanche went to a private school, and later studied in an academy.
At the beginning, the two men had similar identities and family backgrounds, and there were some conflicts between their ancestors, so they had been fighting openly and secretly and were unwilling to admit defeat to each other.
Later, Guan Che passed the examination for a scholar ahead of schedule, surpassing Ji Wu, which made Ji Wu depressed for two years.
It was not until the third year that Ji Wu learned that his distant cousin Ji Zhibai had become Liu Shan's favorite student. So his whole family went to his house to curry favor with him, and got help from Ji Zhibai and Zuo Xiang's party. He then passed the imperial examination and became a student.
As a fellow student and a distant relative of Ji Zhibai, and the future backbone of the Zuo Xiang Party, Ji Wu has completely suppressed Guan Che, so much so that before Ji Wu could even take action, Guan Che took the initiative to beg for mercy and even acted as Ji Wu's lackey.
However, when Ji Zhibai died and the Zuo Xiang party was defeated, Guan Che, who had passed the imperial examination, immediately turned the tables and used all means to take revenge on Ji Wu.
Ji Wu knew that he had lost his power, and in order to protect himself, he began to imitate Guan Che, begging for mercy in a humble manner. Although he was constantly humiliated, he was fortunately able to save his life and property.
Since both of them were influenced by Ji Zhibai and Liu Shan, they both majored in miscellaneous schools and joined Liu Shan's party.
However, no one expected that the situation would change again.
After the Zajia prepared to severely punish the Zajia scholars in Jing State, the two had to flee Jing State and go to Qing State, where the Zajia was most prosperous.
Guan Che has no roots in Qing Kingdom, but no matter what, Ji Wu has a say with Liu Shan, so he will definitely be taken seriously when he arrives in Qing Kingdom.
Thus, the status of the two was reversed again. Along the way, Guan Che did his best to please Ji Wu. Although Ji Wu said that he had spared Guan Che, he was still unwilling to truly accept him.
Looking at Guan Che getting farther and farther away, Ji Wu couldn't hide a smile on his face.
Guan Che stood at the dock, cursing in his heart. He could have boarded the ship, but Ji Wu showed his identity to prevent him, forcing him to wait for the next ship. For the sake of the future, Guan Che did not dare to fight back and could only continue to be servile.
Just as he was thinking about it, Guan Che suddenly heard a scholar saying that the Miscellaneous Family was going to Jing State to negotiate peace, and he immediately opened the discussion board with the official seal in hand.
Guan Che read the miscellaneous matter three times before looking at Ji Wu and laughing out loud.
"Ji Wu, I won't go to Qing State. When you are taken back to Jing State by the people of Qing State, I will sprinkle water and sweep the streets to repay you handsomely for your kindness!"
Guan Che emphasized the word "En".
Ji Wu immediately realized that something had changed. He observed that many people on the shore were using official seals. He immediately picked up the seal, took a closer look, and his expression changed drastically.
He immediately understood that if Zajia gave up, when he arrived in Qingguo, Zajia Qingguo would not only not value him, but might even send him back to Jingguo for disposal. If nothing unexpected happened, Jingguo would definitely sentence him for treason.
Ji Wu panicked and shouted, "Boatman, turn around! Turn around, I want to go back to Jingguo!"
However, the passenger ship had already moved forward and it was difficult to turn around quickly, so the boatman ignored it.
Ji Wu panicked and shouted, "Brother Guan, please don't misunderstand me. It was my fault in the past. Please forgive me."
"Okay, okay. I'm a magnanimous man and will naturally forgive you!" Guan Che said with a smile.
Ji Wu realized that Guan Che would definitely take revenge. He looked at the river, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "I, Ji Wu, am a Jing country man in life and a Jing country ghost in death. You can't force me to go to Qing country!"
After saying that, Ji Wu jumped into the river. Before falling into the water, he gave Guan Che a sinister smile.
Guan Che cursed inwardly: "You are so cruel!"
