Lin Feng glanced around, and countless scholars were discussing at this moment. Each and every one of them craned their necks to look at the stage, with deep curiosity in their eyes.
Lin Feng is very good-looking.
The conflict between Lin Feng and Lin Yuantu is even more interesting.
Except for a few villains who firmly supported Lin Yuantu, most of the other scholars came to watch the excitement. When these people discovered the conflict between Lin Feng and Lin Yuantu, they became agitated and wished they could transform themselves into Lin Feng and Lin Yuantu to fight with each other.
This is human nature.
Lin Feng raised his voice and said seriously: "Before the teacher's father became seriously ill, a letter was sent to Jixia Academy asking the teacher to return to Xia Kingdom. The teacher was so anxious that he immediately packed his luggage and prepared to leave Linzi and return to Anyi to fulfill his filial piety. .”
"On his departure, the late emperor suddenly came to Jixia Academy and found his teacher."
"The late emperor also saw that the teacher was about to leave. He learned about the teacher's situation and felt sad for the teacher. However, the late emperor raised one thing. The northern border of Qi State has been invaded by barbarians from various tribes of Yan State all year round. Although Qi State can resist, it cannot It’s never been solved once and for all.”
"At that time, General Chen Polu won a great victory on the border of Qi State and gained an advantage. In order to completely solve the problem on the border of Qi State, the late emperor planned to send a scholar who was eloquent and not afraid of the barbarians to the State of Yan. On the one hand, we are negotiating with the Yan State, and on the other hand, we are lobbying the various tribes of the Hu people to break up the alliance between the various tribes and ensure that the Yan State will no longer invade southward."
"At the time, there was no suitable candidate available."
"So the late emperor found the teacher and hoped that the teacher would take the people into consideration, go to the Yan State as an envoy, and lobby the various ministries of the Yan State."
"The teacher wanted to refuse at the time, but it involved thousands of people on the border of Qi State. The teacher finally endured his grief and agreed to the late emperor's request and went north as an envoy to the State of Yan. The teacher wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible, and then hurry up Rush back to Xia Kingdom."
"Maybe we can get the best of both worlds."
"The teacher went to the north as an envoy, fought with the officials of the Yan State, and fought with each other. Finally, the Yan State agreed not to invade the border, and the Yan State's ministries would no longer go south. The Yan State's ministries and the Qi State also reached an agreement, and the two sides opened up trade, and the Qi State's border was reopened. No threat."
"It's a pity that the teacher quickly returned to Xia Kingdom. As soon as he arrived outside his home, the teacher's father passed away."
"So much so that the teacher didn't get to see the master one last time, and he didn't get to say a word."
"Teacher regrets this."
Lin Feng sighed, his voice was high and low, and he said with emotion: "Teacher's mission, Lin Yuantu was not even the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so you naturally don't know about it. But the imperial court has files to investigate this matter. clear."
brush!
Lin Yuantu's expression changed slightly.
It seems that Xunzi had some impression of this when he went on a mission to the State of Yan. It's just that others didn't talk about it and didn't pay close attention to it, and they didn't connect it with Xunzi's father's serious illness.
This round, the confrontation was completely defeated!
Lin Feng flicked his sleeves and continued: "Lin Yuantu, in the face of the country's righteousness, the teacher suppressed the grief in his heart and went north as an envoy for the sake of the people. This is sacrificing the small family to benefit thousands of people in Qi. This is not filial piety. What is filial piety? This is great filial piety! Everyone in the world should learn from it. The kind of filial piety that you, Lin Yuantu, admire is simply ridiculous."
There seemed to be thunder exploding in Lin Yuantu's mind.
He was confused.
Kick! Kick! Kick!
Lin Yuantu kept retreating, taking three steps back before regaining his balance.
He was very embarrassed at this moment.
In front of everyone, Lin Yuantu was in a dilemma. He cannot retreat. If he gives in now and retreats, he will become a complete joke and will be criticized by countless people. At that time, let alone staying in Jixia Academy to offer wine, it will be difficult to even be able to stand on one's own feet.
Lin Yuantu had no choice but to carry on.
There are also five major sins that he selected for Xunzi. As long as any one of them can suppress Xunzi, then he will win.
Lin Yuantu endured the anger in his heart and continued: "Lin Feng, even if you exonerate Xunzi, he still has many crimes after all. He is unkind and unjust. How can you defend this crime?"
Wang Can stood in the audience, looking at Lin Yuantu, feeling a little panicked.
The crime of unfilial piety was excused, and even according to Lin Feng's explanation, Xunzi was not unfilial in the first place.
Are subsequent charges still possible?
Wang Can swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt a little panicked. He just felt that Lin Yuantu was sure to win, so in order to curry favor with Lin Yuantu, he stood up and expressed his stance at all costs, exposing himself in front of Lin Feng.
This became a target.
Wang Can quietly took two steps back, planning to return to the crowd and hide.
Lin Feng noticed Wang Can and sneered: "Wang Can, why are you retreating? Your teacher Tian Ziyun is studying with peace of mind and devotes himself to learning. Only you, Tian Ziyun's disciple, jump up and down and take the initiative to rely on Lin Yuantu. Why? Yes, have you abandoned your master and found a new love?"
"Lin Feng, don't slander me."
Wang Can was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said loudly: "Today, I just happened to meet at the right time."
"waste!"
Lin Feng scolded.
He said directly: "I don't bother to talk to a coward like you. I don't know if Tian Ziyun will regret accepting you as his disciple? Will he lose his job if he accepts you as a disciple with an impure nature? What a pity. ,such a pity!"
Wang Can said: "Lin Feng, don't try to harm me."
"Lin Feng did not harm you. Wang Can, if you like to cling to Lin Yuantu, then go ahead. From today on, I, Tian Ziyun, will no longer have you as my disciple."
Tian Ziyun stood up.
When Lin Feng first arrived in Linzi, he and Lin Feng had a public debate and eventually ended up in jail. Because Lin Feng came to help, Tian Ziyun was able to escape. When Lin Feng left Qi, Tian Ziyun made a special trip to thank Lin Feng for saving his life.
Tian Ziyun looked at Lin Feng, cupped his hands and said: "I came to Jixia Academy today. I originally wanted to see how Lin Yuantu, an old man, wanted to slander Xunzi, and I also planned to stand up and refute him. Although Xunzi left Qi, But it shouldn’t be smeared like this.”
"I didn't expect you to come, Lord Lin."
"With Lord Lin here, there is no need for me to do anything."
Tian Ziyun bowed his hands and said, "Master Lin, just keep going. Wang Can is a villain, don't pay attention to him."
Lin Feng said: "Thank you Mr. Tian."
thump!
Wang Can fell to the ground.
He looked panicked, crawled to Tian Ziyun, and choked with sobs: "Teacher, do you really don't want to be a disciple? A disciple's loyalty to the teacher is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth."
"Get away!"
Tian Ziyun said: "During this period, you followed Lin Yuantu and jumped up and down, criticizing and slandering Xunzi everywhere. I once reminded you to act cautiously and think twice before you act. However, you didn't pay attention. Now, you know that I am a teacher Already? I don’t have a disciple with a ‘filial piety’ like you, so you and I will be cut off and we will have nothing to do with each other.”
Wang Can was completely confused.
He was even more panicked. Without his identity as Tian Ziyun's disciple, he was nothing. What's more, if he becomes an abandoned disciple, he will be shouted at and beaten by everyone.
Lin Yuantu was probably going to feel cold when he saw it.
What should he do?
Wang Can was extremely frightened. He felt that the eyes of countless people around him were full of ridicule and disdain.
At this moment, Wang Can felt cold all over.
It’s over!
He is completely finished!
Lin Feng glanced at Wang Can and stopped caring. His target was always Lin Yuantu.
