The Confucian school group returned to their respective houses amidst the strange and pitiful looks cast by everyone.
What kind of appearance will continue to remain in the academy?
Everyone silently packed their luggage and packed parcels... The occasional college students passing by outside the door all cast strange glances into the room, then covered their mouths and whispered to each other.
"Have you heard..."
"Just now, in the dining hall..."
"What Qu Yanghou said is really wise - what is the difference between knowledge and knowledge? It's just that they are used in different ways."
"Poor Confucian people..."
"Bah! What's so pitiful? Openly confronting Marquis Quyang... If the Marquis is trying to care about you, there is no need for the sergeant to come forward... We, the students, will tear these wolf-hearted beasts to pieces and repay kindness with vengeance!"
Listening to the words of those passing students, the Confucian masters turned pale.
One of the Confucian disciples who couldn't keep calm glared angrily at the outside of the room... The student who just spoke could not help but shrink his neck, but soon became hardened again and said loudly: "What are you looking at! It's you who is talking about it!"
"My family, the Marquis of Quyang, has taken you in, and treated you as a distinguished guest every time you apply, so that you can study in Quyang County with peace of mind."
"Is this how you repay Marquis Quyang?"
"It is said that Confucianism cultivates itself and claims to be 'proper, righteous, honest and shameful'... From today's perspective, it is nothing more than that!"
"They are all hypocrites who deceive the world and steal their reputation!"
The Confucian giant sighed deeply and was speechless.
He waved his hand and stopped his direct disciple who was about to argue.
What's the point of arguing now?
It's obvious - everyone in Confucianism wanted to be famous, but was slapped in the face by Xiong Wuliang.
If nothing unexpected happens - it won't be long before the story of Xiong Wuliang defeating the Confucian masters will spread all over the world, bringing great fame to Mi Liang's son.
"Let's go! Let's go!" The Confucian giant sighed.
The group of people took their luggage and walked out of the academy gate in dejection... Looking back, they found that no one came out to see them off.
Those disciples who had been taught by the Confucian Academy obviously chose the latter between the Confucian masters and Qu Yanghou.
When everyone thought about this, their faces turned black and blue.
I can't blame those students... Although they studied under Confucianism, they are rooted in the Chu country after all. They are all Chu people, and they are Xiong Wuliang's subjects.
Anyone who stays in the academy will have a bright future... It is not realistic for them to leave their hometown and wander with the Confucian giants - not to mention that the Confucian giants just broke the hearts of those Chu people.
anyway--
Now that things have come to this, where else in the world can we go?
The panic is like a lost dog!
After calming down, everyone couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret... Why did they have to go against Qu Yanghou just now?
With this in mind, all the Confucian masters and disciples looked at their Confucian giant with three parts blame, three parts anger, and three parts helplessness...
…
Compared with the miserable atmosphere among the Confucian people, the atmosphere in the dining hall was harmonious and warm!
A group of masters came forward to greet Xiong Wuliang respectively, saying polite words.
First, I would like to thank Xiong Wuliang for organizing the academy and allowing them to study here and promote the school...
Even the masters of various sects sincerely praised: "The words you just said were really enlightening and thought-provoking."
"For many years, various schools of thought have been arguing endlessly... Thinking back to those days, the two topics of 'human nature is inherently good' and 'human nature is evil' have been debated for decades."
"Now that I think about it...the extreme theory is so high and low, even if it is full of witty words, it seems that it is of no use to the country and the people..."
When the masters and students, such as farmers and military strategists, who were slow in speech and quick in action, heard the words, they nodded their heads again and again, their faces glowing red.
"The king's wonderful words really make us ashamed!"
Xiong Wuliang smiled and held his hands up in humility, but he accepted all the compliments without politeness.
In normal times, even if the masters of these schools were grateful to Xiong Wuliang for taking him in, they would be more reserved - after all, we are all talkers from the university school, and we are all decent people when it comes to status.
But this moment is different.
Xiong Wuliang's words made everyone present unable to refute - this was regarded as an academic insight.
For these masters who are obsessed with academics, no matter how many battles Marquis Quyang fought, how many enemy troops he beheaded, how much land he conquered... they would not be as respected as the lofty academic remarks just now.
After whispering in a low voice, the masters of the three schools of military, peasant, and Mohist schools suddenly stood up together and gave Xiong Wuliang a long bow: "You attach great importance to our school, and we are very excited."
"The prince said that the art of employing people is a 'show of knowledge'. I am not talented and would like to learn the art of employing people from the prince!"
"From now on, I am willing to encourage you and your lord! I will help you and your lord achieve great things, and let us, the school of thought that has always been poor in words, shine brightly!"
These words came suddenly, and the dining hall fell silent instantly.
Xiong Wuliang was very happy!
What a surprise!
As we all know - the masters of these schools are generally unwilling to come out to get involved in worldly affairs - when they were in the Jixia Academy of Qi State, the King of Qi visited the academy several times to ask for advice, but he had no intention of appointing the masters as officials.
As time goes by, these academic masters have become less interested in "being an official and managing politics".
Later, they devoted themselves to studying. Even if there are invitations from princes of vassal states, they often decline politely.
Don’t you see that it has been a year or two since these masters came to Xiong Wuliang’s fiefdom, but only one of them is cautious enough to be used by Xiong Wuliang?
Unexpectedly... they were excited by Xiong Wuliang's recognition at this moment and were willing to work for Xiong Wuliang!
This is really a great happy event!
As far as farmers are concerned - even though these masters who hang out on the ridges of the fields have little reputation in the annals of history, in terms of true energy, these people are definitely precious talents that monarchs from all over the world must treat as guests!
With the help of the master farmer, the grain production in the fiefdom will reach a new high!
The military training skills of the military strategists, the mechanics of the Mohists... combined with the rich money and food in the fiefdom, will surely create great achievements.
"Mi Liang is like a tiger with the help of all the gentlemen!" Xiong Wuliang was very excited.
Even the mature and steady Le Yi could not help but feel refreshed.
This trip to the academy was so worth it.
Today, Xiong Wuliang not only has money, soldiers and food, but also has the help of so many top talents... It seems that it is not far away to ascend to a big position!
In this way, I really have to thank the bunch of rotten Confucian scholars... If they hadn't forced them out with words and Xiong Wuliang's eloquent talks, they wouldn't have been able to inspire these masters... and they wouldn't have gotten the help of these top talents.
Confucian giant, you are such a good person!
Huang Xie stood up, raised the large pottery bowl in front of him, and smiled like a host: "Come on, gentlemen, use water instead of wine, and drink this wine together for the great cause of my great Chu... Uh, this bowl! "
The masters happily raised their pottery bowls, and the students were also very excited.
Xiong Wuliang and Le Yi both smiled...
The entire dining hall was submerged in a sea of joy...
…
