Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Half a moment later, Li Xuan and Guozijian's sacrificial wine authority sat in the hall of Mingjing Hall together.

Although the roof of this palace has been lifted off now, with only four walls remaining, the atmosphere here is more solemn, more solemn, and more exciting than before.

Li Xuan was looked at by many enthusiastic, respectful, and even admiring eyes in the hall, and he felt somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Now he not only has to arbitrate for five great scholars, but he is also the object of admiration for these five thousand imperial disciples.

If an ordinary person suddenly becomes a Confucian leader, he will definitely not be able to adapt to it for a while.

However, there was no expression on his face, and he asked Fang Ming, the Deya layman next to him, in a gentle voice: "I listened to your debate. When Mr. Yichuan said, 'Starving to death is a small matter, but being unruly is a big matter,' he said it before. 'It's just that future generations are afraid of cold and starvation', right?"

"yes!"

Fang Ming actually didn't want to continue to struggle with this issue. After all, this person was the protector of the Tao recognized by Yu Zi. Doesn't that mean everything the other party said was right?

However, Li Xuan's next sentence still made his face condense slightly and he became more cautious: "I remember Guan Zi's saying, "If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace." I don't know what you think? Do you agree with this sentence? "

"The words come from "Guanzi·Herdsmen"." Fang Ming nodded slightly, and then said thoughtfully: "Some of Guanzi's theories are also highly praised by the saints. I think these two sentences are very reasonable."

Li Xuan continued to ask with a smile: "Then I dare to ask you two, can today's world be said to be full of food and clothing?"

As far as he knew, although the yield of land in this world was relatively high, the yield of the high-quality paddy fields under his mother's name could reach eight dan per mu; while the yield of wheat in the north was said to be about four dan per mu.

However, the population of this world is larger, and there are also demons causing chaos. As a result, many remote lands cannot be effectively developed, and the fields and people are concentrated near cities. The existence of Liudaosi has protected the safety of the world, but it has also burdened the common people with more taxes.

Therefore, the life of the people at the bottom is actually very hard.

"So this is what Yuzi and Mr. Yichuan said they had to do."

Li Xuan said with a smile: "To ask the common people who don't have enough to eat to abide by the morals, etiquette, and integrity of a gentleman, isn't this just asking for fish after a tree is planted? I think we Confucians should spend more energy on 'restoring peace' 'Enter. If the country is at peace and the people of the world have enough food and clothing, wouldn't this 'enlightenment' also come naturally?"

As far as he knew, the moral standards of the increasingly wealthy people of his time were indeed improving year by year. But as for ethics and education - tsk tsk, after having enough food and clothing, how can this person's heart be controlled?

Isn’t there another sentence? It's called being full, warm, and thinking about sexual desires.

However, his words still sound reasonable.

And just when everyone was deep in thought, Li Xuan said again: "There is also the debate between benefit and justice, and the dispute between reason and desire. I am not sure about the former, but I just heard Quan Jijiu say that the "Book of Changes" says: " Benefit is the harmony of righteousness." Yuzi also said, "The harmony of righteousness is benefit." It can be seen that in Yuzi's eyes, righteousness and benefit are interconnected and inseparable. As for the distinction between reason and desire, I am even less clear. Yes. But——"

He paused and glanced at the many monitors present: "I think the meaning of the sentence 'preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires' is definitely not that reason and desire are opposites. As we all know, the sacred weapon 'Questioning Heart Bell', It comes from the Lianxin Sect 1,200 years ago.

It is said that the key to this sect's practice is to eliminate one's own emotional desires, so he acted so cruelly that he was eventually cut off by Yu Zi himself. It can be seen that human desire cannot be regarded as a savage beast. If a person only has principles and acts according to "propriety" and has no desires of his own, then he shouldn't be considered a human being, right? "

Mr. Jingyuan, Kong Xiu, felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly at this time. He thought to himself how could the 'dispute between interests and righteousness, the battle between reason and desire' be as simple as Li Xuan said?

But this was a defender of Neo-Confucianism, and the principles he recognized were difficult for others to refute. Unless Yu Zi is reborn, or many protectors from the past reappear.

When Tong Siye saw that both of them were 'persuaded' by Li Xuan's principles, he couldn't help but smile proudly: "The words of the protector are very reasonable. They are sincerely Yu Zi's true meaning. I think you two also agree with them, right? In that case, Then there shouldn't be any controversy in the final 'book' examination of our Imperial College. I wonder if you two have anything else to say?"

Mr. Jingyuan, Kong Xiu was unwilling to give in, but in the end he couldn't say a word, while Fang Ming's face remained calm from beginning to end.

But just when Tong Siye was about to give the final word, an Imperial College student stood up and said: "Master Siye, the students are not convinced!"

Then everyone looked at him with astonishment, and Tong Siye also looked sideways at that person. Discovering that it was Xi Hanqing, a disciple of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing, his face turned red and he was filled with indignation: "Long Rui and Wang Jing, these two guys, they actually invited me, the famous religious arbiter, to participate in the 'number' test. This is simply... Bullying! So students think this exam is unfair."

Before he finished speaking, everyone present started to buzz. At least hundreds of people present looked at Long Rui and Wang Jing.

They all thought that this was not only unfair, it was simply cheating!

Among them, Long Rui, who was thicker-skinned, was okay, but felt a little embarrassed. Wang Jing couldn't help but twitched slightly, and stood up and clasped her fists with her face flushed: "Students can swear that the two of us did not know beforehand that Lord Du Wei was the protector of Neo-Confucianism. identity of."

After he said this, everyone's indignant eyes calmed down a little. Everyone is still convinced of Wang Jing's character.

Li Xuan also nodded slightly: "The two of them really don't know, but this shouldn't be considered a violation, right?"

He was calm and didn't realize he had done anything wrong.

"this?"

Tong Siye felt a headache: "It is indeed not a violation. The rules set before did not say that the guardian cannot be invited to participate -"

At that time, they thought that the famous scholars in Nanjing would cherish their dignity and would not directly participate in such competition among juniors, so they did not specify the invitations.

However, before Tong Siye finished speaking, Quan Dingtian twirled his beard and interrupted: "Then let's try again! It's still Shiwenzhiyi, and anyone who has scored in the top 100 before can participate. This time, we will In the Analects of Confucius, "To overcome resentment and desire, if you can't do it, you can do it by benevolence." We selected the best ones to participate in the Xiaoling sacrifice."

As a result, several great scholars present could not help but look sideways at Quan Dingtian. I thought to myself that this person is really cunning. Who doesn't know that his two disciples are very good at counting?

Quan Dingtian's words directly drew his disciples in, avoiding their shortcomings, and his intention to protect them was clear.

But since the other supervisors also reserved their opportunities, no one was interested in arguing with him.

But even after everything was settled, many Confucian scholars still lingered in Mingjing Hall.

Today, Li Xuan's feat of composing ten famous poems in one night and seriously injuring the sword demon Li Zhetian will definitely shock the world and the entire Confucian sect.

Even if it is placed hundreds of years later, this will still be a Confucian allusion that is popular among people.

As participants in this grand event, everyone was still excited and confused even after an hour.

Quan Dingtian was the most decisive and direct, and he immediately handed over a scroll: "Please give your seal, Lord Protector."

Li Xuan opened the scroll and glanced at it, and found that it was the ten poems written inside. The inscription and postscript in front were "Nine poems about chasing Li Zhetian and chanting his ambition, with a poem about Qinyuan Chun and a pair of couplets".

Quan Dingtian's calligraphy is excellent, with iron paintings and silver hooks, full pen and ink, and full of momentum. It complements these poems and makes Li Xuan feel ashamed.

He doesn't know when this person wrote it?

Li Xuan laughed dumbly, took out his seal from his sleeve, and stamped it on it.

The sacrificial wine man also knew his background, so he only asked him to seal it, but not to sign it.

When Fang Ming and Kong Xiu saw this, they couldn't help but glare at Quan Dingtian.

Normally, these great scholars would keep their emotions and anger secretive, but at this moment, they did not hide the envy in their eyes.

Quan Dingtian's scroll. It not only includes ten famous poems throughout the ages, but also gathers the remaining true meaning and majesty of the Imperial College scene into it, making it powerful and powerful.

However, Zhu Yu, who had the power to stand up to the sky, was in front, so the four of them followed suit. They wrote the poems on the spot and had Li Xuan stamp them.

The surrounding Imperial College Supervisors also gathered around Li Xuan like a sea of ​​people.

The vast majority of them do not have the right to meet the conditions of these few people. They carry space magic weapons with them and can use paper and pen. So they collected materials on the spot and dismantled the entire Mingfa Hall. Then they divided the wooden boards and wrote poems for Li Xuan to stamp.

Although Li Xuan's arms felt weak after being stamped, he enjoyed the whole process and never refused.

This is of course because being treated like a big star makes him feel novel and proud, but Li Xuan's own cautiousness is also one of the reasons why he never tires of it.

He knew that after today, these five thousand Imperial Imperial College students who personally participated in this battle would be his most loyal supporters in the Confucian sect and the cornerstone of his authority as a protector of Neo-Confucianism.

In exchange for the support of these people with a seal, this business can't be more cost-effective.

It took a full hour for Li Xuan to walk out of the crowd. And when he was seen off by Quan Dingtian and others personally and walked out of the gate of the Imperial Academy, he saw Xue Yunrou's figure for the first time.

At this moment, the girl looked at him with eyes that were so hot that they could melt iron and stone. There was joy, worry, gratitude, admiration, and worship in her eyes.

After Li Xuan saw it, he immediately felt refreshed and thought that there might be another game tonight. There was hope for second base, third base, and home base.

But just as Li Xuan walked towards Xue Yunrou, he suddenly frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then an unprecedented amount of pain and weakness began to invade Li Xuan's body, making him feel dizzy. A moment of dizziness.

Just when Xue Yunrou was shocked, Mrs. Jiang, who was not far away, thought of a plan out of worry. She immediately flicked her sleeves and said: "Hanyun! What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly kill the little girl?" Take Xuan back to the medical clinic and ask your father to diagnose and treat you?"
