Zong Ning Bing took a step forward and looked at Fang Yun. Her eyes were red as she said loudly, "You can't do this, you can't do this! Humiliating a general in front of two armies, no commander can do this kind of thing that shakes the morale of the army! Fang Xusheng, please be magnanimous and forgive Ye Tian this time! Between you and him, it's just a battle of words and personal feelings, there is no deep hatred. What's more, your body is weak now. Ye Tian can lend you a hand in the fight for the title of Frost Sovereign and help the human race obtain the title of Frost Sovereign. Without Ye Tian, it's like the human race has lost an arm! "
Another Zong Family scholar walked forward and said, "Previously, we sued Fang Xusheng, but we were merciful, so we agreed to punish Fang Xusheng after he recovers. Now, we hope that Fang Xusheng and the other scholars will punish Xiao Ye Tian after the fight for the throne of Ten Frost Sovereign. Everyone has seen it, it's not that Xiao Ye Tian doesn't want to be punished, but we think that punishing an important scholar now is like killing each other! "
These words were said calmly, and the people who supported Fang Yun actually couldn't refute. Previously, in order to help Fang Yun, the scholars used a delaying tactic, using Fang Yun's illness to delay the punishment. Now, the Zong Family was using the same method, if they forcefully punished Xiao Ye Tian, it would be a little too much.
The Zong Family was shameless, but the scholars of the other families wouldn't go to extremes unless it was necessary.
Xun Pingyang said, "This Xiao Ye Tian is healthy and healthy, his body is stronger than ordinary scholars, so there's no harm in punishing him now. All of you said that you were trying to shake the morale of the army, but as the saying goes, knowing shame leads to bravery. Fang Xusheng also said that knowing shame leads to bravery. If Xiao Yutian knew his mistakes and shame, he would listen to Kong Sheng's words and work harder to become the Ten Frost Sovereign. If we don't punish him, he will be lucky, and I'm afraid he will muddle through. "
Although these words made sense, many people felt that they didn't completely refute the Zong Family. What the Zong Family said made more sense. Since Fang Xusheng's punishment could be delayed, then with Xiao Yutian's status and role, his punishment should also be delayed.
Meng Jingye said, "The Old Man had something that was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, he would not feel good if he did not spit it out. At first glance, what you said made sense. Since it was the same punishment, why couldn't it be delayed? The truth was, Fang Xusheng did not do anything wrong! Fang Xusheng did get benefits from the Ice Palace Mountain, which helped the human race enter the Ice Emperor Palace! Therefore, the so-called punishment or postponement of punishment should not exist in the first place. Can we punish someone who is completely correct? Obviously not. From the beginning until the end, only Xiao Yutian was at fault in the entire matter. You put the correct Fang Xusheng and the wrong Xiao Yutian together. Not only are you laughable, but you are also gravely mistaken! "
After hearing Meng Jingye's words, many people were enlightened and nodded. The essence of this matter was right or wrong, not whether to delay the punishment. No wonder Fang Xusheng, a great scholar, was not affected by the Zong Family's sophistry, but they were almost convinced by the Zong Family.
After being exposed by Meng Jingye, the entire Zong Family was silent. Arguing with a great scholar would only lead to more losses.
Xiao Yutian's face was flushed with shame and anger. At this moment, he not only hated Fang Yun, but also hated Meng Jingye and everyone who spoke for Fang Yun.
The great scholar of the human race, the number one genius of the human race in the Ten Frigid Ancient Land, one of the Four Great Scholars of the generation, actually stood in the snow for so long with his upper body bare. Just this alone was already a great humiliation.
Zong Ning Bing sighed, and said, "The Saints taught the human race to treat their own kind with benevolence and righteousness, but now it seems that only Fang Xusheng can understand the path of 'benevolence and righteousness'. We will not argue, and let Fang Xusheng make the decision. If you abandon benevolence and righteousness, we have nothing to say. "
The crowd was in an uproar, and many scholars criticized Zong Ning Bing.
Benevolence and righteousness were not only the sacred path of the Confucians, but also the goal that ordinary people should aspire to even if they could not achieve it. Benevolence and righteousness seemed vague, but it was actually very concrete. The interactions between people and the connections between people were all related to benevolence and righteousness.
If one did not mention benevolence and righteousness, and only talked about laws, then everyone would be treated as soldiers, and emotionless puppet soldiers at that.
The so-called benevolence and righteousness were determined by the 'heart' of the human race, and involved human emotions.
The various great Confucians of the human race had come to a consensus that if the human race really abandoned benevolence and righteousness, then the world would be in chaos, and it would not be an orderly world. This was because during the most prosperous Qin Dynasty, there were a few Legalists who secretly abandoned benevolence and righteousness, and got rid of love and evil. They tried to use laws to eliminate human emotions and desires, and establish a society that was completely controlled by law.
However, reality proved that the human race was not animals or puppets. The human race needed emotions, and they could not survive in a society that only had laws and no benevolence and righteousness. Thus, they rebelled and led to the destruction of the Qin Dynasty.
As a result, there were no longer any extreme Legalists in the Saint Origin World, because those who tried to repeat the same mistakes had been eliminated by the human race.
Currently, the Legalists in the Saint Origin World had come to a consensus. Although the law was supreme, benevolence and righteousness could reduce people's illegal behavior, and promoting benevolence and righteousness could make people kind and abide by order.
Rather than saying that benevolence and righteousness restrained the human race, it was better to say that it prevented the human race from collapsing, and gave the human race a sense of security.
The human race had gone through many periods where benevolence and righteousness were not important, such as those periods of war, and all of the human race wanted to stay away from those times.
In the Saint Origin World, saying that a person had abandoned benevolence and righteousness was the same as saying that the person was not human.
Only the demons and barbarians did not care about benevolence and righteousness.
"Fang Xusheng, please enlighten us!" The Zong Family members bowed in unison.
Fang Yun quietly swept his gaze over the Zong Family members, and finally, his gaze fell on Xiao Yutian's back as he slowly opened his mouth.
"Benevolence, righteousness, and morality are related to our inner selves, and often decide what we should do. Other than benevolence, righteousness, and morality, we also have laws. The laws are related to our external actions, and often restrict us from doing what we should not do. I'll give a very simple example. If we see a carriage overturn, and the goods are scattered everywhere, if we don't care about it, the laws have no right to judge us as wrong. We are neither good nor evil, and are just ordinary people. If we help the owner of the carriage collect the goods, then we are doing good. This is not something the laws want us to do, but something decided by the benevolence, righteousness, and morality in our hearts. If we lose something, what would be the first thought that comes to our mind? Naturally, we would hope that others would do good, and hope that others would have benevolence, righteousness, and morality. We may also violate benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but what we need to do is to correct it in the future, and not choose to abandon benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Therefore, Bensei will not abandon benevolence and righteousness. "
Without waiting for everyone to ponder, Fang Yun continued, "Many times, just talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality is not enough. When a carriage overturns and the goods are scattered everywhere, it is often accompanied by fighting. At this time, is there any use in scolding the people who are fighting for their lives? It is useless, because they are shameless in the first place. Not only do they violate morality, they also violate the laws. Then, what should we do at this time? Punish them! "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden light. The sword transformed into a dragon, and the dragon transformed into a whip. It drew a beautiful arc in the air, and fiercely whipped Xiao Yutian's back.
Slap!
A clear sound exploded, and Xiao Yutian fell forward with a miserable cry. A striking whip mark that was as wide as a palm appeared on his back from his right shoulder to his left waist.
It was red like a cockscomb, and shaped like a centipede.
