Chapter 841
“Chi Lian, this is a friend of the Crown Prince.”
Fusu looked at Chi Lian with some dissatisfaction; the latter smiled frivolously and retracted the red chain snake, letting it coil on her shoulder.
“Alright, alright, the noble friend of the Crown Prince, this slave was rude. Little sister, see you later… when the time comes, play well with my snake.”
Chi Lian glanced at Fan Ruoruo with a charming look and swayed away from here.
Fusu gave a bitter smile and said softly:
“Don’t mind her; she has no malice, she just doesn’t have a good relationship with Duanmu Rong, the successor of the Medical School. But come to think of it, Miss Ruoruo does look very much like Master Duanmu Rong.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Fan Ruoruo whispered her thanks and leaned into Fan Xian’s ear to whisper:
“Brother, the people here are so scary… how can someone carry a poisonous snake with them?”
Fan Xian understood Chi Lian and said softly:
“This is her talent; she can control ten thousand snakes. That cold-faced Bai Feng just now has a huge white phoenix that can carry many people.”
“And the sinister-looking Canglang King next to him can control wolf packs, and that Wushuang Ghost has invincible strength and can lift city gates.”
Chen Pingping sighed:
“They are all talents; it is worthy of being an assassin organization second only to the Net.”
Speaking of this, looking at Wang Qinian and the others beside him, he felt a bit sad no matter how he looked at it.
Wang Qinian lowered his head, slandering in his heart.
He was just an ordinary person who loved money; how could he compare with these guys who controlled strange creatures?
Fusu smiled and looked at the steps; suddenly, he noticed a group of solemn Confucian scholars slowly climbing the steps.
Immediately, Fusu tidied his clothes and said softly:
“Everyone, I will go see my teacher first; you all wait for a moment.”
After speaking, Fusu walked quickly toward the leader, Xunzi.
Fan Jian turned his head to look at the newcomers and said softly:
“Is that the Confucian School?”
“Yes, the number one famous school among the various schools of thought; in the future, it will also be a famous school that has been passed down for thousands of years, and Confucian students will be all over the world.”
“In many dynasties to come, the court will be full of Confucian people. However, the Confucianism of later generations is no longer like the Confucianism of today.”
Fan Xian shook his head with regret, and Ge Nie on the side said softly:
“That is the current leader of the Confucian School, Master Xunzi.”
Fan Xian nodded heavily.
“One of the four sages of Confucianism, the later sage Xunzi, a famous thinker of the pre-Jean period, and the number one person in ci-fu.”
703. Fan Xian: Seeing the true Confucian School for the first time
“Confucianism…”
Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the group of extraordinary existences, and said softly:
“Is that the top school that has dominated the world in Shenzhou for thousands of years?”
Fan Xian nodded with complex feelings.
“The influence of Confucianism on Shenzhou has almost entered the bones; every scholar is a Confucian person. It is not a state religion, but it is better than a state religion.”
“But… the Confucianism of later generations is no longer Confucianism.”
Fan Xian sighed gloomily and said softly:
“During the Spring and Autumn period, a person appeared in the State of Lu who influenced Shenzhou civilization and even the entire world’s civilization.”
“The founder of Confucianism, the Most Holy Teacher, the Sage, Confucius.”
“He is the most well-known thinker, educator, and politician in history.”
“In thousands of years of history, countless outstanding people have appeared, but there is only one Sage, and that is the founder of the Confucian school, Confucius.”
“Confucius once served as the Minister of Justice of the State of Lu and acted as the Prime Minister, but because the philosophy of the State of Lu did not match his, he resigned and left.”
“Confucius traveled to various countries with seventy-two sages of the Confucian school and three thousand disciples, founded Confucianism, and promoted benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. It can be said that the appearance of Confucius set the rules for all scholars in the world.”
“Later, Confucius’s disciples compiled the words he said into a book, which became the world-famous and long-standing Analects.”
“The Analects is almost something every Shenzhou person has been learning since birth.”
“The status of Confucius in every dynasty has almost surpassed that of emperors, and he is called a Sage, on par with heavenly gods.”
“In a group of three, there must be my teacher; choose the good and follow it, and change the bad.”
“Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what you have learned? Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar? Is it not a gentleman who is not angry even if people do not know him?”
“To know what you know, and to know what you don’t know, that is knowledge.”
“Be diligent and eager to learn, and do not be ashamed to ask questions.”
“Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself…”
“These words were all said by Confucius when he taught his disciples, and they are also words that have spanned thousands of years and are still believed by everyone.”
“Confucius believed in education without discrimination and pursued conquering people with virtue.”
“He is the greatest educator in the history of Shenzhou; from him, Confucianism already had signs of great prosperity.”
“Afterward, the four sages of Confucianism appeared, and later, with Dong Zhongshu’s dismissal of all other schools and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, Confucianism became the only school of thought in all dynasties.”
“Unfortunately, gradually, Confucianism changed; it was no longer the clear and holy Confucianism of Confucius.”
“Since Zhu Xi’s ‘preserve heavenly principles and destroy human desires,’ Confucianism completely went down the wrong path.”
“Fortunately, later there was Wang Yangming who realized the Dao at Longchang, became a sage in one step, proposed the principle of investigating things to extend knowledge, and became the first sage after Confucius.”
“Confucianism is a school that one must study in the thousands of years of Shenzhou history.”
“Today’s Confucianism, although it has not yet become a force, can already see its sharpness.”
As the words fell, everyone looked at the movements of the Confucian side with amazement.
Honestly, that literary sage of Northern Qi would probably be one of the three thousand disciples if he came here, not even comparable to the seventy-two sages.
Although they had never met, the subtlety of the Analects was enough to shock them just by hearing it.
Those were warning words that shocked the heart like a bell.
Even Chen Pingping couldn’t help but nod with a solemn expression.
“Hearing this, Sage Confucius is worthy of the name of Sage; education without discrimination is a move to open the wisdom of the people of the world. Unfortunately, the descendants are not up to the task…”
Ge Nie glanced at Fan Xian and said calmly:
“In fact, Confucianism is already prosperous.”
“Ah?”
704. Fan Xian’s first experience of the Great Jean morning court
“Once, Confucianism was the representative of the anti-Jean forces, but after being incorporated, it is the only one of the various schools of thought in the Great Jean court that is not made difficult and is respected.”
“The Confucian leader Xunzi has two most outstanding disciples; one is Han Feizi, and the second is Li Si.”
“The successors of the Legalist and Military schools are both disciples of Master Xunzi.”
“This is the first point.”
Ge Nie paused and continued:
“The second point, and the most critical one, is that after His Majesty gave pointers to Confucianism, the people of Confucianism also had an epiphany.”
“The current Confucian will is what the Great Jean likes most.”
“To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the lost teachings for the past sages, and to open up peace for all generations.”
As the words fell, Fan Jian and the others immediately stood in awe.
Deng Ziyue pursed his lips, his eyes red, and said with some emotion:
“If this can really be achieved, it is only natural for Confucianism to be called a sage.”
“This is the pursuit that scholars should have!”
At this time, Fusu had also brought Xunzi and others over, looking at everyone with a smile and introducing:
“Teacher, these are the ministers my father found for me to assist me later.”
“Everyone, let me introduce you to my teacher, the leader of the Confucian School, Master Xunzi, and these are my senior fellow apprentices.”
Fan Xian and the others put away their emotions and cupped their hands:
“Greetings, Master Xunzi, greetings, seniors of the Confucian school.”
Xunzi looked like a gentle and elegant old man; at this time, he stroked his beard and said with a smile:
