Kang Ha-chuan scanned the crowd and said slowly, "He might even say that Confucius was just a teacher and Mencius was just a lobbyist. He might even say that the ancient sages were trash. However, as long as he says that we should keep learning, create wealth with our own hands, make our family happier, let our children study more, and love the land under our feet, then you will know that he is your descendant!"
Kang Ha-chuan sighed and said, "We, the human race, pass down our spirit, our civilization, and our knowledge. I have no right to judge whether today's Confucianism is Confucianism or not. I also have no right to judge whether the Confucianism of the future will be Confucianism. However, as long as we keep improving, keep learning, and keep working hard, even if our descendants forget the word 'Confucianism', I still dare to say that it is Confucianism! "
Yun Luo stared blankly at Kang Ha-chuan.
The others also looked at Kang Ha-chuan.
Kang Ha-chuan smiled and said, "This is the reason why I left the capital and came to Notre-Dame. I believe in him! I believe in Fang Yun! "
Yun Luo said, "The problem now is that no one can tell whether Fang Sheng is replacing the old planks or sinking the ship."
Kang Ha-chuan said curiously, "We, the human race, have been ignorant for tens of thousands of years. This ship did not sink! The demon barbarian Half-saint controlled the Shang Dynasty. This ship did not sink! The hundred schools of thought contended. This ship did not sink! The thousand year treaty lost its effect. This ship did not sink! The great sage killed his way to the Two World Mountain. This ship did not sink! In the hundreds of thousands of years that the human race has been around, this ship did not sink. Instead, it grew bigger and faster. Now you are telling me that one Fang Yun can sink this ship! Do you believe such words? I don't believe it now, and I will never believe it! "
The eyes of the elders present lit up.
Yes, the human race had endured so many hardships. Moreover, it was getting better and better. Why did they think that Fang Yun's reforms would lead to the collapse of the human race?
"I …" Yun Luo was completely speechless.
Everyone was thinking about Kang Ha-chuan's words.
The hall was silent for a long time. Wu Jiu frowned and said, "Not good. I've received news that the family of Miscellany and some of those who oppose Saint Fang may be making a big move in the dark, but I don't know what it is exactly. Previously … I didn't want to interfere, but now, I want to nip them in the bud! "
Unexpectedly, Kang Ha-chuan smiled and said, "Just as we don't believe that Fang Sheng can sink the big ship of the human race, do you think those rats and sparrows can stop Fang Sheng?"
All the Pavilion Elders nodded lightly. Even Yun Luo instinctively nodded twice. Then, he realized that something was wrong and suddenly stopped, as if he had a stiff pillow.
After a long time, Yun Luo let out a long sigh and said, "Fang Sheng, if this continues, our entire Hall of Rites might be reformed. Could it be that we're just going to watch and do nothing?"
Kang Ha-chuan smiled and said, "How can that be? We will record everything related to the Ceremony Palace and let the later generations know that in the highland of the human civilization, there is a layer of sand called the Ceremony Palace. "
The Pavilion Elders sat on their big chairs and looked ahead quietly. Their eyes seemed to be filled with fog.
Every Great Scholar seemed to be looking in another direction.
"Forget it, this Old Man won't interfere in this matter …" Yun Luo said and slowly stood up. With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked out.
The door of the Ceremony Palace opened and closed, just like before.
The date of the County-Level Examination was slowly approaching.
The entire Saint Origin Continent was surging like a storm. Everywhere, the students and scholars began to get busy.
The few scholars who arrived at Kong City dispersed, but the majority of them stayed.
This was because many people knew that a portion of the male scholars were preparing to write a letter to the Notre-Dame, requesting that the male and female examination be canceled.
Although the Kong family had admitted their mistakes, there were occasionally Jingguo scholars who continued to attack the Kong family. On the other hand, the Gyeongo scholars did their best to defend the Kong family, and constantly insinuated that Fang Yun was targeting the Kong family.
The articles on the rankings were not as intense as before, but there were still a large number of scholars who opposed the male and female examination, and opposed Fang Yun's criticism of Confucius.
In addition, there were those who summoned spirits for the Emperor of Qing, Fang Yun's enemies, the Miscellaneous School, and various other people. They were still a huge force on the rankings.
However, these people were very clever. They never directly attacked Fang Yun's Divine Path, nor did they curse or insult Fang Yun. They were always playing word games, inciting others to be dissatisfied with Fang Yun.
Many scholars stood out to fight back, but most people just watched from the sidelines.
This was because everyone realized that the battle between Fang Sheng and Zong Sheng had reached its climax.
In other words, from the day Fang Yun established the Political Path against the Miscellaneous School's Divine Path, the battle between the two sides had officially begun.
This battle of the Divine Path would be unprecedentedly fierce.
Therefore, more and more people did not help either side, and stayed away from the whirlpool.
However, this was the battle of the Divine Path. It was a battle between Fang Sheng, Zong Sheng, the Miscellaneous School, the Confucian School, the Political Path, Jingguo, Gyeongo, and other major powers. No one could really stay out of it.
Therefore, this battle of the Divine Path was faintly showing signs of becoming an elephant in the room.
Everyone knew that an elephant had appeared in this big room of Saint Origin, but except for the relevant personnel, most people did not seem to see this elephant.
In the teahouse, in the restaurant, in the government office, in the academy, in the learning palace, in Kongcheng, in the Notre-Dame, there were fewer and fewer scholars who openly discussed this matter.
However, this was just a facade.
In the private literary gatherings of scholars, almost ninety percent of them were about the battle of the Divine Path between Fang Sheng and Zong Sheng, and all of them would more or less talk about this matter.
No matter how turbulent the ocean of the human race was, it was still calm on the surface, except for the occasional splash.
Gyeongo, New Capital, Rui Du.
Most of Gyeongo's officials had moved to Rui Du to continue governing the country.
However, the position of King Qing was still undecided.
The various kings and princes acted out everything that could happen in the battle for the throne.
The Ji Mansion.
Although this Ji Family was not the Ji Family with three top scholars, father and son, and four scholars, they were of the same origin. The head of the family, Ji Quan, was the nephew of the Ji Family's head.
Ever since Ji Anchang became a great Confucian scholar, even if he lost to Li Wenying, he was still a great Confucian scholar. Ji Quan's status also rose along with him. Unfortunately, not long after, the news of Ji Anchang mocking Fang Yun while drunk spread.
Who on the river is called the Sage of Poetry, let me borrow your splendid essay for a look. The quiet night is unbearable, the startled stars fall into the cold water!
The first half was Ji Anchang's drunken ridicule of Fang Yun, and the second half was Fang Yun's response.
Originally, this matter was a joke at most, and the Ji Family would not do anything. After all, Fang Yun was Jingguo's Fang Yun, and Ji Anchang was a great scholar of Gyeongo.
However, after Fang Yun became a sage, this matter was brought forward again, and the significance was greatly different.
Ji Anchang actually ridiculed Fang Yun for not being a sage poet.
In addition, Fang Yun had killed King Qing, and the higher-ups of Gyeongo were filled with fear. They could only distance themselves from Ji Anchang for fear of provoking Fang Yun.
Now, Old Hanlin, Ji Quan, was also affected. His position as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites was taken away, and he might even be demoted to a low-ranking yamen because of the Ji Family's loss of power.
The Ji Mansion had been gloomy for the past few days, until the night of the seventh day of the third month, when Old Hanlin's roar could be heard.
"If you want to take the imperial exam, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
