The Confucian school of exegesis was the same as the Buddhist school of Buddhism. Exegesis was not the same as reading the scriptures, nor was it the same as talking about the scriptures. Both were things that only a great scholar could do. His Royal Highness, this poor and pedantic scholar in front of him dared to make irresponsible remarks about Yao Bai, the great scholar of Confucianism, who was famous for his exegesis of the scriptures.
As for the ambition of the so-called posthumous title of Wen Zheng, it was even more shocking. Even the old consecrator of Yang Province, Yu Jiankang, only hoped that it would be a great fortune to have a Wen Zhong behind him. In the Spring and Autumn Period, heroes vied for the deer. After Li Yang ascended to the throne, there was a clear standard for the posthumous titles of officials. The civil officials used Wen Zheng as the leader, but this posthumous title had been vacant for a hundred years. Wen Zhen followed closely behind, and everyone in the court viewed it as the possession of Grand Secretary Zhang Julu. After that was Zhong Duan, Kang Yi, and so on. Since Wen Zheng and Wen Zhen did not dare to hope for it, then Wen Zhong became the most popular item for the various vassals and top civil officials in the dynasty. In today's world, in order to determine the status of aristocratic families, the number and weight of posthumous titles was undoubtedly an extremely important standard. Normal scholars did not dare to say that they would be posthumous to Wen Zheng even if they died.
Once exposed, if it was a small matter, it would be considered improper conduct. If it was a serious matter, it might even lead to imprisonment. The scholar's heart was pained when a book of the Four Classics fell into the water. It was clear that he came from a poor family. Having his thoughts exposed by an outsider, the scholar's panic disappeared in a flash. He soon calmed down and lowered his head to continue eating the iced watermelon. After Hsu Fengnian exposed his thoughts, he did not continue to be unforgiving. Instead, he was aroused by the posthumous title. It was natural for civil officials to have a posthumous title, and military officials were no exception. There were relatively few titles with the word "military", but there were still eighteen characters. Therefore, there was a saying that a real man should have eighteen posthumous titles. The character "Yi" took the top spot. The first nine were Yi Lie, Ning Jing, Ping Xiang, Jing, Min Su. It was rumored that Great General Gu Jiantang had already given the posthumous title of Wu Jing. Yi Lie, Ning San, was still a huge suspense.
Unlike civil officials, military officials often had lower posthumous titles. Generally speaking, it was a great honor to have one of the first nine posthumous titles. This was related to how aristocratic families despised military officials. Of course, if a military official could have a posthumous title, it would be an even greater honor. This was only favored by those military officials who came from rich and powerful families. For example, Tangxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie was able to become an official. After her death, it was not impossible for her posthumous title to take the lead. Xu Xiao had never been too concerned about this. He always said that after three generations, it would be enough to have a passable posthumous title. This was because no matter how favored the court officials were at the time, no matter how outstanding their achievements were, it was not an exception to change their posthumous titles after death.
Xu Fengnian's absent-mindedness was awakened by a burst of cheers from the Baoguo Temple. It could be said that the debate between the kings and the tyrants had already begun. The other person was the eminent monk Yin Daolin of the Baoguo Temple. Shi Lin respectfully called him the Motionless Monk. He did not speak much, but when he spoke, he was sure to amaze the world. His two famous battles with Liu Yan and Lu Xuanlang, the "Yi Xiang Yu Jie Xing" and the "Four Books of Talents" were both held at the Baoguo Temple. It could be said that the reason why the Baoguo Temple could become the holy land of the Jiangnan Dao, other than the beautiful scenery and the borrowing of thousands of peonies from the Wei Zi Yao Huang, was mainly attributed to this elegant old monk who had a good reputation and a good reputation.

Hsu Fengnian finished eating the watermelon and asked, "Do you want to participate in this debate? I heard that as long as you win a few, it will be more useful than obtaining scholarly honors. "
The scholar who had only eaten a few mouthfuls of watermelon smiled and shook his head. He said self-deprecatingly, "I was fortunate enough to participate once and was chased out after saying a few words. I don't know if I won or lost, but I probably lost. The scholar from the Yuan family who debated with me will probably be recorded as one person removed. "
Hsu Fengnian caught a glimpse of the female Taoist nun Xu Hui rushing out of Baoguo Temple and walking straight over. He ignored her and looked at the scholar in front of him. He smiled and said, "Isn't this something to be expected? I'm guessing that you will be sitting alone during the debate, right? "
The Daoist nun walked closer and said, "Your Highness guessed wrong this time."
Hsu Fengnian had a look of realization. He said, "Sister Xu brought me in?"
The Daoist nun Xu Hui nodded with a smile and explained, "Young Master Zhang is full of wisdom and is especially good at debating. He is original and ingenious. He once asked me to explain the advantages and disadvantages of military and political affairs to Xu Gong. The general commented that he did not stick to one pattern and that it was not easy to do."
Hsu Fengnian was slightly surprised and said, "Oh." During lunch, he chatted with his elder sister Xu Zhihu about Xu Hui's family background. The general of Gumu Xu's family, Dragon General Xu Gong, was the mainstay of the family. This general, who was good at both military and political affairs, was born in a rich and powerful family. He presided over the military affairs of the three provinces in Gangnam-do. He had made a lot of bold and decisive reforms and tidied up the government. Xu Xiao thought highly of this person. Since he could be praised by Xu Xiao, who was known to be arrogant, he was naturally a very powerful character. As for the "Six Matters" that disappeared in Yangzhou, even Hsu Fengnian might not believe it. There was a copy in Xu Xiao's study room and he circled a lot of it himself. As for how to strengthen the border defense and solve the financial problems, Hsu Fengnian had seen it with his own eyes, so there was no need to doubt its weight.
On the way to Huting County, he had specially asked Lu Qiu 'er to get a copy, but he did not expect it to be written by the poor scholar in front of him. He just did not know how this Childe Zhang was related to Xu Hui. The relationship between a woman from a rich family and a poor scholar was just a beautiful scene in a novel about a scholar and a beauty. Especially in Gangnam-do, where family status was very important, it was even more unrealistic. This was probably the reason why Wang Dongxiang's "The First Snow" was so popular in Gangnam-do. During the banquet, Xu Zhihu bluntly talked about the grudges between Xu Huipong and Lu Baijie, as well as the Lu, Yu, and Xu families. It was obviously impossible for this female Taoist nun to be tired of this poor scholar. This made Xu Fengnian even more curious. Could it be that this scholar was really a great talent in running a country? Born in a poor family, it was really rare for him to have a strategic vision. Xu Xiao's former right-hand men, "Yang Talent" Zhao Guangling and "Yin Talent" Li Yishan, were not poor scholars. They were real gentry families.
Hsu Fengnian was just about to exchange some pleasantries when he found that Tang Xi Sword Fairy had also appeared. Xu Hui's face immediately darkened and she turned a blind eye. Lu Baijie smiled bitterly. When the poor scholar saw this one of Lu's Glittering Seven Jades, he did not bow to her and seemed to be familiar with her. He took the initiative to bow to her, but he regarded himself as a nephew. This kind of arrogance would make a scholar's hair stand up in anger. Tang Xi Sword Fairy was a celestial figure, so what kind of person was this nobody? How dare he not avoid or retreat? Was he not afraid of dirtying the eyes of Mr. Lu Qi? Lu Baijie also seemed to have a good impression of the scholar. She gave him a few words of sincere encouragement before turning to look at Xu Huipong. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to talk to you."
Xu Hui sneered and said, "Mr. Lu Qi has avoided suspicion for so many years. Why are you making an exception today?"
