The Kong family had many rules.
As long as Kong Sheng was not angry, the Kong Gate would not open. This was the bottom line of the Kong family.
The Kong Gate was the main entrance of the Confucius Sacred Residence. It had not been opened since the end of Kong Sheng's funeral.
Although Kong Sheng had died, his will remained.
The head of the Kong family had set this iron rule, stating that as long as Kong Sheng did not give the order, or if the Kong family was not in danger of extinction, the Kong family would not interfere with the internal affairs of the human race.
The Kong family had always adhered to this rule, reducing the fear of the human race and preventing the Kong family from becoming the target of public criticism.
There were many former residences of the saints, but only special residences could become the Sacred Residence. The Confucius Sacred Residence was within the Kong family, and it was the place where Kong Sheng had lived for the longest time after becoming a saint. Any one of the four treasures of the study there contained great power.
It was rumored that the Kong family had placed many treasures in the Confucius Sacred Residence during Kong Sheng's funeral, and they had not used those treasures until now.
After so many years, the Confucius Sacred Residence had become the Kong family's most intimidating force, because no one knew what kind of monster the Kong family would release once the Kong Gate was opened.
The head of the Kong family looked at the elders of the Hall of Rites with eyes as clear as the sky.
Although the previous heads of the Kong family had not reached the Half-saint realm, they had the power of a Half-saint. Just by looking at them calmly, they seemed to be able to see through everyone's hearts.
Every elder of the Hall of Rites suddenly felt ashamed and retreated.
Out of self-preservation, Yun Luo instinctively bowed and said, "Since the Kong family is not coming out, we will not disturb you any further."
Afterward, Yun Luo led the elders of the Hall of Rites out of the Kong family.
The moment they walked out of the gate, their hearts calmed down and they quickly reacted.
"Oh no!" Yun Luo could not help but exclaim.
The other great scholars also stood at the gate, looking at each other silently.
In truth, the Kong family head opening his eyes and releasing his saint's might was a test to see if the elders of the Hall of Rites were acting selflessly or selfishly.
None of the great scholars in the Hall of Rites could bear it, which meant that the Kong family head understood that the elders of the Hall of Rites were here to protect the Hall of Rites and the Confucian Sage Path. As for the consequences of the Kong family going against Fang Yun, they did not consider it at all.
Everyone was too selfish on this trip.
Yun Luo let out a long sigh and said, "Are we just going to let Fang Yun do whatever he wants?"
"Right now, he's working with the other halls. First, he's using Legalism to suppress the Hall of Rites. Then, he's using the power of politics to suppress the School of Miscellany. We might still have a chance if we act before he stabilizes his Divine Path. Once the 'Politics' spreads to the entire human race tomorrow, a large number of scholars will switch to politics. Once politics stabilizes, I'm afraid … we won't be able to reverse the situation.
"We cannot simply seal the Divine Path like the School of Miscellany. After all, the Hall of Rites is a member of the Confucian school, and it cannot represent all of the Confucian school. ................................
...............................
....................
..................................... . You've all seen the results of Legalism and Fang Yun's cooperation. ............................ This........ This........ You, are. We didn't cause any real harm to Fang Yun. Kang Ha-chuan is in the Hall of Rites. If we let him pull the strings and apologize to him, Fang Yun won't make things difficult for the Hall of Rites. "
"Make things difficult for the Hall of Rites? He can't do that even if he's a Saint! "Yun Luo said coldly.
Wu Jiu smiled bitterly. "I misspoke. What I meant was that we should work with Fang Yun and open up the Confucian Sage Path. I feel that the 'reason' that Fang Yun talked about at the Divine Dao Conference is the power of Confucianism. It has little to do with Legalism. That 'reason' isn't complete. But now that he's the Master of Divine Path, he'll probably understand it gradually. Don't you think that 'reason' might benefit the Hall of Rites? "
"That might not be the case." Yun Luo lowered his voice.
Wu Jiu said, "How about this? Let's go back to the Hall of Rites first. Once we're there, we'll vote on whether to continue targeting Fang Yun or to ease our relationship. As for future relations and cooperation, we won't decide for now. What do you think?"
The Confucians nodded.
Jingguo, the capital, the cabinet.
All the officials in the cabinet had crowded the main pavilion of the Left Minister's Pavilion. The officials of the various departments also found all kinds of excuses to come here.
Outside the Left Minister's Pavilion were officials below the fifth rank.
In the courtyard of the Left Minister's Pavilion stood the fourth and fifth rank officials. The first to third rank officials were all in the room.
The officials in the Left Minister's Pavilion were sweating profusely as they received the visiting officials.
These visiting officials were very enthusiastic. They were all in high spirits. Even the usually silent senior officials were in high spirits as they talked about all kinds of interesting things.
Although "Politics" had appeared on the most authoritative ranking of the human race, only a few people could see the full text. Most of the people present couldn't see the full text.
Those who could see it didn't publish the full text either.
However, some of the content of "Politics" appeared on the ranking list and caused a lot of discussion among the human race.
This was especially so for the first chapter of "Politics". It completely overturned the human race's understanding of politics. There were supporters, there were opponents, there were people who wanted to smooth things over and there were also people who wanted to do bad things behind the scenes.
However, these were not important to the officials of Jingguo. The most important thing was Fang Yun.
Jingguo finally had a Master of the Divine Path!
From now on, the attitude of all the people of Jingguo towards Fang Yun would change.
This was because the achievement of establishing the Divine Path was enough to make Fang Yun a Saint.
If Fang Yun had a seventy to eighty percent chance of becoming a Saint before, then as long as Fang Yun didn't die, he would definitely become a Saint.
When these officials arrived, most of them were filled with gratitude because Fang Yun had saved Jing Country.
He had also saved their lives for the future.
The image projected by the Divine Path in the sky had disappeared. There was nothing else above.
However, everyone felt that the sky above Jingguo was exceptionally clear.
Now, even if the Zong Sage personally used the Divine Path to seal Jingguo, Jingguo would not be afraid. This was because Jingguo had its own Divine Path and the human race had their own Political Path.
Whether it was from the momentum of the Divine Path or the content of "Politics" that had been revealed, the new Political Path crushed the Divine Path of the Miscellaneous School in all aspects.
Many officials sighed when they talked about the Divine Path of the Miscellaneous School. In fact, since a long time ago, there were people who believed that the Miscellaneous School would not be able to go far if they did not carry out a thorough reform. This was because the core idea of "combining Confucianism and Mohism and combining names" was fundamentally flawed. Not to mention that this goal was too big, the Miscellaneous School was already far behind in adapting to the development of the human race.
Now, the various schools of the human race were refining their strengths, especially the School of Gongzi, the School of Military, the School of Agriculture, the School of Legalism, and the School of Medicine. However, the Miscellaneous School was greedy.
