Chunyu Yue was having a word-for-word argument with Li Shui when he turned around and suddenly found Ji Ming staring at him lovingly.
Chunyu Yue was very confused as to what was going on with Ji Ming, and he looked at me like he was an old father.
Did Ji Ming not have father's love when he was a child?
Also, seeing as Ji Ming is not very old, he was probably sent to the palace since he was a child. He might not even know who his father is.
Perhaps my support for him made him feel the warmth of a father that he had not seen for a long time.
But I don't care about him. What is there for me to care about as a eunuch?
What is this kid Ji Ming thinking about? I am more than enough to be his grandfather.
People always get sons from old age, and I don’t want the news to spread. If I get a eunuch from old age, my reputation will be ruined here.
I am only concerned about the development of Confucianism, but I feel very pleased that the eunuch Ji Ming is so eager to learn and that Confucianism has spread so widely.
Chunyu Yue just wanted to use Ji Ming as a classic example to promote Confucianism.
He had no plans to adopt an adopted son. If word got out that he would adopt an eunuch as his adopted son, not only would he be slapped in the face, but the entire Confucian world would be ashamed.
In fact, Chunyu Yue had already seen very clearly. The Qin Dynasty was developing so rapidly, and Confucianism was constantly changing with the development of the times.
I am already old, and my ability to adapt to new things is far less than that of young people.
There are even fewer young people who can listen to their own ideas.
Perhaps only those who want to learn calligraphy will learn from Chunyu Yue.
Perhaps young Confucians admire today's Master Qi more.
Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that the future development of Confucianism will have less and less influence on it.
Even if Confucianism declines in the future, it will not be in our own hands.
The guilt of being infamous in future generations has nothing to do with him.
Who makes him, Mr. Qi, always oppose him, and even get close to a treacherous villain like Huai Guzi?
This is all retribution. Now that I am living a prosperous life like the adults, it may be a foreshadowing for the future.
As a Confucian scholar, I don't focus on cultivating my character and studying Confucianism, but I attach great importance to business and profit, and even learn how to develop Confucianism.
Being undefeated in his hands is already pretty good.
Nowadays, there are even rebellious Confucian scholars following Huaiguzi, and they even want to learn Huaiguzi's calligraphy.
Every time Chunyu Yue thought about this, he was always excited and couldn't help but tremble all over.
What is Huaiguzi? Banish an immortal? Damn, it’s just a way to fool the head of Guizhou.
The sycophant is pretty much the same.
I don't know a few Chinese characters, but by chance I wrote some incomprehensible cursive script. Do you think you can start a sect and establish your own sect?
In my opinion, it is simply the epitome of a deformed society in which the world is in decline.
It would be good for some Confucian scholars to follow him, so as to eliminate all the disciples who have disloyal intentions.
The old man from the province took matters into his own hands.
After Chunyu Yue came to his senses, he looked up and saw Li Shui standing in front of him at some point, looking at him doubtfully.
Chunyu Yue was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
Chunyu Yue frowned and said, "Huaiguzi, what are you doing standing in front of me? You are so close to me, why do you still want to beat me?"
Li Shui smiled and said: "Dr. Chunyu, what are you thinking? I beat those who disrespect His Majesty."
"Is Dr. Chunyu disrespectful of His Majesty?"
Chunyu Yue hurriedly raised his hands to Ying Zhenggong and said, "Your Majesty, I will never do anything disrespectful to you."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Dr. Chunyu, what are you hiding from?"
Chunyu Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "I have bad eyesight. You were standing too close just now and couldn't see clearly who it was."
"Tell me, why are you standing in front of me so calmly?"
Li Shui wondered: "You really don't know?"
Chunyu Yue curled his lips and said, "I really don't know."
Chunyu Yue didn't know what kind of trick he was going to play. He always felt that Li Shui was trying to trick him.
Li Shui said slowly: "Doctor Cai, you have been muttering about banishing immortals and Huaiguzi just now. The ministers around you heard you calling me. Do you think I can't come over?"
Chunyu Yue was surprised and said, "Did I call you?" After saying that, he looked at the people around him.
Everyone understood what Li Shui meant early on. Although some pretended not to hear and were indifferent, many people still nodded subconsciously.
Chunyu Yue felt very helpless and thought: What's wrong with me? Why did I say what I was thinking?
Now his words are becoming more and more lax. Fortunately, he didn't say anything bad about His Majesty. Otherwise, the torture would have been light.
At that time, Confucianism was really advantageous to Mr. Qi.
Chunyu Yue smiled awkwardly, then thought about it and said, "I haven't seen the calligraphy written by Ji Ming yet."
"Of course I called you to see how he wrote."
Li Shui opened his mouth boredly, thinking that Chun Yuyue had some bad ideas, but it turned out that he just wanted to read Ji Ming's handwriting.
Li Shui took the words written by Ji Ming from his sleeve and handed them to Chun Yuyue.
Chun Yuyue opened it slowly, and after just one glance, Chun Yuyue frowned.
Ji Ming looked at Chun Yuyue nervously. Ji Ming knew best what Li Shui's level was, so Ji Ming would never recognize Li Shui's evaluation of his handwriting.
But Chun Yuyue's evaluation is different. After all, he is a great Confucian in the contemporary Qin Dynasty.
He is knowledgeable and has high attainments in calligraphy.
Being able to get Dr. Chun Yuyue to comment or even give advice in person is an opportunity that no matter how many people queue up, they won't get it.
Ji Ming waited nervously for Chunyu Yue's comments, thinking: Dr. Chunyu, you have to see the situation clearly.
Now Lord Qi is getting closer and closer to Li Shui and Li Xin, and they have even joined forces.
You, Chunyu Yue, are still alone. You are old, but you have no ability and no one to support you. Wouldn't it be a great tragedy in life?
Now I am a popular person in front of Your Majesty, serving Your Majesty every day. Although I don’t have any official position, fortunately I spend more time seeing Your Majesty than you do.
Saying anything in front of His Majesty will change His Majesty's mind.
So if the two of us join forces, we can still suppress Li Shui and others.
When strong people join forces, a win-win situation is certain.
Then Chunyu Yue nodded again, as if his movements were very similar to His Majesty's.
Ji Ming was very happy after seeing it. Perhaps, only real calligraphy can make people feel complicated and difficult to evaluate.
Li Shui Chunyu smiled beside him and said, "How is it? Is it a good review?"
"Strictly speaking, it is not an exaggeration to give Ji Ming zero points."
Ji Ming rubbed his ears. Did he hear it correctly? What, zero points?
I didn’t hand in a blank piece of paper, so why should I give myself zero points?
Ji Ming is self-aware. Although there is indeed a gap in calligraphy compared with those of Confucian scholars, it is still decent. Zero points would be too exaggerated.
Ji Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Master Huai, this is not how you bully others."
"Dr. Chunyu, do you think what I wrote deserves only zero points?"
Chunyu Yue was very embarrassed, frowning and said: "This, this..." Finally Chunyu Yue nodded helplessly.
