The Path of the Sage

Chapter 2563: Peace talks in the palace

Views:

The Kong family has many rules.

The bottom line of the Kong family is that Confucius will not be angry and the Kong school will not be opened.

The Kongmen Gate is the main entrance to Confucius' residence. It has never been opened since the funeral of Confucius.

Although Confucius is gone, his will lives on.

The head of the Kong family at that time established this iron rule, stating that as long as the will of Confucius did not order it, or the Kong family was not facing the danger of genocide, the Kong family would never interfere in the internal affairs of the human race.

The Kong family has always adhered to this clan rule, which has reduced the fear of the various human forces towards the Kong family and prevented the Kong family from becoming the target of public criticism.

There are many former residences of saints, but only special ones can be called holy residences. Confucius's holy residence is in the Confucius Mansion, which is also the place where Confucius lived the longest after he was canonized. Any of the four treasures of the study in it contains great power.

Rumor has it that at the funeral of Confucius, the Kong family sent many treasures into Confucius' holy residence, and those treasures have not been used to date.

After so many years, Confucius' Holy Residence has become the most intimidating force of the Kong family, because no one knows what kind of monster the Kong family will release once the Confucius Gate is opened.

The head of the Kong family had eyes like the clear sky as he quietly looked at the elders in the Li Hall.

Although the successive heads of the Kong family did not reach the realm of a semi-saint, they possessed the power of a semi-saint. They just watched calmly, as if they could see through everyone's heart.

Every elder in the hall suddenly felt ashamed and retreated.

Out of self-protection, Yun Luo instinctively bowed and said, "Since the Kong family is not going to appear, we will not bother you any more."

Afterwards, Yun Luo led the elders of the Hall of Rites to leave the Kong family.

The moment they walked out of the Kong family’s gate, they regained their composure and reacted quickly.

"It's broken!" Yun Luo couldn't help but cry out.

The other great scholars also stood at the door, looking at each other in silence.

In fact, when the head of the Kong family opened his eyes and released his holy power, it was a test to see whether the elder of the Hall of Etiquette was selfless or had selfish motives.

No great Confucian scholar in the Li Hall can bear it, which means that the head of the Kong family has already understood that the purpose of the Li Hall elders' visit is mainly to protect the Li Hall, and secondly to maintain the Confucian way. As for the final consequences of the confrontation between the Kong family and Fang Yun, they don't consider it at all.

On this trip, everyone was too selfish.

Yun Luo sighed and said, "Are we just going to let Fang Yun manipulate us?"

"He is now teaming up with the various palaces and academies, first using the Legalists to suppress the Rites, and then using the power of the Political School to suppress the Miscellaneous School. If we act before his Saintly School becomes stable, we may still have a chance. Once the Political Science spreads throughout the human race tomorrow, a large number of scholars will switch to the Political School. Once the Political School becomes stable, we... I'm afraid we will be powerless to save the situation."

"We can't just casually carry out the Holy Dao Conferring as the Miscellaneous School did. After all, Lidian is a member of the Confucian School, and cannot represent all of Confucianism. If the Kong Family doesn't speak up, even if all the Confucian scholars in the world join forces, they can't affect Fang Yun."

"After tomorrow, I'm afraid our Li Hall will need to conduct a new canonization for Fang Yun."

"Master of the political path, we have no choice but to seal it."

Wu Jiu said: "Since we can't defeat Fang Yun, and it's hard to suppress him, why don't we work together. You have all seen the result of the cooperation between the Fa family and Fang Yun. This time when Jingguo was suppressed by the Holy Dao, the Fa family did not fight with all their strength, but only protected Fang Yun, which would definitely cause Fang Yun's dissatisfaction. We are not like the Miscellaneous Family, and we have not caused any real harm to Fang Yun. In addition, Jiang Hechuan is in the Li Hall, so let him make the connection. If we express our apologies a little, Fang Yun will definitely not embarrass the Li Hall."

"Make things difficult for the Palace of Rites? Even if he is canonized as a saint, he can't do it!" Yun Luo said coldly.

Wu Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "I made a slip of the tongue. What I meant was that we should cooperate with Fang Yun to develop the Confucian Way of Etiquette. I always feel that the 'principle' that Fang Yun talked about in the Holy Way Literature Conference seems to be the power of Confucianism and has little to do with Legalism. That 'principle' is not complete, but this time he becomes the master of the Holy Way, I am afraid he will gradually understand it. Don't you think that 'principle' may be of some benefit to my Etiquette Hall?"

"That may not be the case." Yun Luo's voice dropped significantly.

Wu Jiu said, "How about this, let's go back to the ceremonial hall first. Once there, we'll vote on whether to continue targeting Fang Yun or to ease the relationship first. As for future relations and cooperation, let's not decide yet. How do you think that is?"

The great scholars nodded.

Jingguo, capital, cabinet.

All the cabinet officials have packed the main hall of the Left Prime Minister's Office, and officials from various departments have also found various excuses to come here.

Outside the gate of the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion were officials below the fifth rank.

In the courtyard of the Zuo Xiangge, high-ranking officials of the fourth and fifth ranks stood, while officials of the first to third ranks were all inside the houses.

The officials inside the Zuo Xiangge were busy and sweating, constantly entertaining visiting officials.

These visiting officials were extremely enthusiastic and all of them were in high spirits. Even the elderly officials who were usually very silent were now very interested and recounted various interesting stories in the officialdom.

Although "Political Science" has appeared on the list of great scholars, the most authoritative literary list of the human race, only a few people can actually see the full text, and most people present cannot see the full text.

Those who could see it did not make the full text public.

However, some content from "Political Science" still appeared on the discussion list, triggering discussions among the entire human race.

Especially the content of the first chapter of political science on politics has completely overturned mankind's understanding of politics. There are supporters, opponents, those who try to smooth things over, and even those who do bad things secretly.

However, for the officials of Jing State, none of that is important. The most important person is Fang Yun.

In Jing Kingdom, a master of the holy way finally appeared!

From now on, all Jing people's attitude towards Fang Yun will change.

Because, the achievement of establishing his own saintly path alone is enough for Fang Yun to be canonized as a saint.

If it was said that Fang Yun’s chance of being canonized was at most 70% to 80% before, then now as long as Fang Yun is alive, he will definitely be canonized.

When these officials arrived here, they were mostly grateful because Fang Yun saved the Jing Kingdom.

It also saved their future lives.

The image cast by the torrent of Holy Word in the sky has dissipated, and there is nothing else above.

However, everyone felt that Jingguo's sky was exceptionally clear.

Now, even if the patriarch personally uses the Holy Way to seal the country, Jing State will not be afraid, because Jing State has its own Holy Way, and the human race has its own political way.

Whether from the momentum of the Holy Way or the content of "Political Science" that has been revealed, the new political way crushes the Holy Way of the eclectic schools in all aspects.

Many officials sighed when talking about the holy doctrine of the Eclectic School. In fact, from a long time ago, people with lofty ideals believed that if the Eclectic School did not carry out a thorough reform, it would not go far, because the core idea of the Legalists, such as "combining Confucianism and Mohism, and combining legalism and legalism", was essentially problematic. Not to mention that this goal was too big, just in terms of adapting to the development of the human race, the Eclectic School was already far behind.

Nowadays, all human families are refining their strength, especially the engineers, military strategists, farmers, legalists, and medical professionals, but the miscellaneous schools are greedy for perfection.

Although the eclectic school has been getting rid of its burdens and focusing on the official path in recent years, unfortunately the problem lies in the foundation of the holy way. Without the courage to subvert the foundation of the eclectic school's holy way, there will be no breakthrough development.
