Taiping Inn

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Old Man Long smiled slightly: "Yes, this is the reason why we discuss today. Many major events have happened in Qizhou recently, and this is just two of them. It is not the root cause. The real root cause lies in a case of escaped slaves. Mr. Li, Some people say that the escaped slave in the Saint's Mansion was actually the secret son of the Li family who was placed in the Saint's Mansion. He intended to spy on the surveillance. Now he has returned to the Li family. I wonder if this is true?”

Li Xuandu looked calm and said, "I don't know who the 'someone' is in Mr. Long's mouth? You might as well ask him to come out and confront him in person. If you can't come out, or if there is no evidence, just talking nonsense, then it is a rash guess. Deliberately framed."

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang said, "This 'person' is me. I wonder what Mr. Qingping has to do with it?"

"I dare not take it when I see the sect." Li Xuandu turned his eyes to Mrs. Jiang, "As far as I know, Mrs. Jiang has always had a gap with her mother. This matter is not a secret. Among you who are here today, many of them had two or more years ago. It is well known that a wife came to Qizhou to mediate in the dispute. "

Li Qingyun is not only Li Xuandu’s master’s wife, but also Li Xuandu’s adopted mother, so Li Xuandu can call his master’s wife and mother. There is no problem with calling his mother at this time. If Li Xuandu did not speak from the position of Qingweizong, but spoke only as a member of the Li family, the title of mother and adopted mother is more appropriate.

Li Xuan paused for a moment and emphasized his tone: "So, Mrs. Jiang's words must be believed, but not fully believed. No one can guarantee whether Mrs. Jiang deliberately framed her because of her old grudges. If Mrs. Jiang insisted on doing so Say, please come up with evidence.”

Mrs. Jiang has been in charge of the saint's mansion for many years, but no one dares to be so disrespectful to her. In addition, Li Xuan is the adopted son of Li Daoxu and Li Qingyun. It can be said that new and old hatreds are calculated together, and anger appears in her eyes, but for many years. Her cultivation prevented her from having anger, but said with a strong anger: "I sent my slaves to hunt down this person, but those slaves never came out after entering your Li family's tomb. Isn't this evidence? ”

Li Xuandu patted the handrail: "This is exactly what I want to say. On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month last year, my Li family members all went to the tomb field to worship the ancestors. This is not a secret matter, but here it is At that time, a group of people who claimed to be Mu En's mansion rushed into the tomb of my Li family. My Li family's children came forward to ask, but they were beaten to death by them. The body was not buried in peace, which is even more obvious to all. , Who is unbearable! Such a person, do you still want me to give them gifts out of the country for such a thing?”

For a moment, no one dared to take on Li Xuandu's words.

After a moment, Mrs. Jiang said coldly: "No matter what, these people are from the saint's mansion. If we want to punish them, we will punish them ourselves. It's not the turn of outsiders to interfere in their affairs!"

"What a strange thing!" Li Xuandu's voice suddenly became stern, "If your slaves beat your children and grandchildren to death, you say you will deal with it yourself and others will not interfere, then that's fine. But now it's yours People beat us to death, this is a matter between two families. Our Li family is not a slave to your saint's mansion. As the relatives of the deceased, we want to seek justice, but why do we become a substitute? There is a world where we are Is this the truth?”

Mrs. Jiang was Li Xuandu's

As soon as I spoke, I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Li Xuandu sneered: "If there is such a truth, is it the truth passed down by the Supreme Sage? Or the truth taught by the saint of the Heart? Or is it a wise man? You might as well tell it, so that I have never read it. How many books are the Yamano Villagers who have received teachings. "

Old Man Long had to speak: "Of course there is no such reason. It's just a matter of murder. Just detain the murderer. Why bother detaining everyone?"

Li Xuandu said frankly: "Mr. Long should understand the meaning of the word "tomb field". It is our own place, just like the ancestral hall, and it is an important place. Not to mention outsiders, even our own family members cannot enter and exit it at will. If so, If someone breaks into trouble, he should punish him and warn others. This is the rule. If someone breaks into the Holy Forest without authorization, will Mrs. Jiang release him on the spot?”

Old Man Long has long heard that Li Xuan has always been eloquent and has learned it personally today, and only then did he realize it is true and he was speechless for a while. After all, this is not a debate on the principle of reason or a conversation about the empty and mysterious, but a discussion on the matter. The great scholars may not be able to do so. Good at it.

Li Xuandu's eyes swept across everyone: "These people are just slaves, not tribe members of the saint's mansion, and they are not considered Confucian disciples. They dare to be so arrogant and domineering, trespassing into other people's tombs first, and hurting people's lives later. It’s still our Li family, which is also a family with some face. The Li family is like this. It shows how fierce these people treat the common people. This is how the saints and saints teach future disciples and tribesmen to treat the people like this? If they are all like them. , the people of Qizhou will suffer many sins! ”

Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed, and she noticed the loophole in Li Xuandu's words, and immediately said, "Mr. Qingping is questioning the truth of Mr. Sui and the sub-saint?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, both Taoist and Confucian people became nervous, as if they were going to take action immediately after a disagreement.

Everyone knows that if you bring the topic to the saints and the sub-saints, you will give Confucianism a reason to take action. The opposition voices in Confucianism must stand up and oppose the Taoist sect and even take action in person because of some moral correctness.

Li Xuandu was not afraid, or had expected it, and said calmly: "Mrs. Jiang has ulterior motives and intends to blame the ancients who have made all kinds of mistakes today on the ancients who have made more than a thousand years ago. Let me ask, why did the ancients who have made more than a thousand years ago blame today? The most sage teacher teaches people the truth, just like calculating. More than a thousand years ago, one plus one equals two, and more than a thousand years later, one plus one still equals two, not three. If you don’t learn well, calculate the questions. It’s wrong, but I blame the students for being wrong, so I said you have ulterior motives.”

"The truth is the truth, right is right, wrong is wrong. I have no objection to the principles of the Supreme Master, but I have very much objection to you future disciples who have misinterpreted the truth."

As soon as this statement came out, all the Confucian people here changed their colors.

Mrs. Jiang even slapped the handrail and said angrily: "You are arrogant! Are you worthy of talking about the righteousness of the Holy Master?"

Li Xuandu was still not angry at all: "Isn't worthy? The saint said: 'There is no distinction.' Everyone can learn the great principles of the saint, regardless of race, and treat them equally. The saint also said: 'If you study without thinking, you will be confused. , thinking without learning will lead to danger. 'Since everyone can learn, everyone can think, develop their own understanding, and put it into words. This is what the saint said in his own words, and it is also the saint's personal disciples who personally remember it.

Record, why can’t I talk about the righteousness of the saints? Now Mrs. Jiang said to me that she was not worthy. Is it wrong? Or is the saint's reason wrong? ”

Mrs. Jiang was speechless.

Li Xuandu is accustomed to using the principles of Confucian saints to refute Confucian disciples. It is not that Li Xuandu is so clever, but that Confucian disciples are incompatible with their knowledge and actions. If they take the principles of saints as the criterion in everything. How can Li Xuandu use the principles of a saint to control them by demanding himself, being strict with himself and being lenient with others?

Another thing is that Old Man Long said nothing wrong. When the saints of Xinxue were alive, they really highly praised the unity of the three religions, so over the years, the disciples of the Confucian and Taoist schools have been very frequent. For example, Li Daoxu studied at the Vientiane Academy when he was young. It was a matter of marriage to the Li family later, and Ning Yi can also be regarded as an example. Li Xuandu was originally from Taoism, but was influenced by Zhang Suqing and had many Confucian ideas and ideas. This is also an example. Therefore, when debating the classics, Confucianism recognized the Taoist classics, and the Taoist school also recognized the Confucian classics. They will deny the Supreme Taoist ancestor or the Supreme Saint and Master, which is completely different from the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism back then.

In fact, the two sides are now in a dispute of interests, not a dispute of doctrine.

People from Confucianism fell into silence.

Li Xuandu said slowly, "After saying so much, I'm still wandering around in the same place, and no one is willing to make a step back. Then, it's better not to talk about this peace talk."

After saying that, Li Xuan had already stood up from the chair.

Li Xuan was together, and the rest of the Taoist sect were led by him, so naturally they also stood up, leaving only the Confucian sect sitting on the chair, watching the peace talks not proceeding any longer.

At this moment, Old Man Long slowly slapped his hand and said, "Let's wait."

Everyone's eyes looked at Old Man Long.

Old Man Long stood up slowly with his deputy holding the chair and said, "Peace talks, some talks are the same. So, let's not be careful and say something real. How can Mr. Li stop fighting and truce? "" "

Li Xuandu said coldly: "Mr. Long's words seem to have caused a dispute on his own initiative. Li is ashamed of not being able to take responsibility. I should ask Mr. Long for this sentence."

Old Man Long said, "Mr. Li is going to do his own thing, ignore the people, and provoke a dispute between the Confucian and Taoist schools for their own selfish desires?"

"What a big hat." Li Xuandu sneered, "You said I was the one who provoked a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, so let me ask you, why did my senior brother die? If our Taoist sect dies, we still want to Our Taoist sect can't cause trouble, we have to take the overall situation into consideration. Is this the domineering attitude in the distinction between kings and domineers? "

Old Man Long remained calm: "Mr. Li said just now that everything should be paid attention to evidence. If it is empty talk, it is a frame-up and false accusation."

Li Xuandu took out half of the sword and said, "This sword is my senior brother's sword. There is a fingerprint on this sword. Does Mr. Long dare to face it in front of everyone?"

Old Man Long narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Li Xuandu held the hilt of the broken sword and handed it to Old Man Long.

Old Man Long showed a solemn look of points on his face. He slowly stretched out his hand, but he did not hold the broken sword body.

Li Xuandu said in a deep voice: "Please."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
