Wei Shuyu looked constipated.
It doesn't matter if you salute.
But being called by name and forced to salute is very unpleasant.
"What will be the consequences if you don't salute?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"Do you know what it means if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up?" Kong Yingda asked, stroking his beard.
"If you don't learn etiquette and respect me, I'll beat you until you can't stand!" Wei Shuyu clenched his fist.
"..."
The whole audience was dumbfounded.
They have concluded that Wei Shuyu knows nothing about the Analects of Confucius.
"The meaning of this sentence is that if you learn etiquette, you will have clear moral integrity, and your moral character will be firm, so you can stand up." Kong Yingda, the old god, replied.
"Still don't understand, what do you mean?" Wei Shuyu blinked.
Even Kong Yingda is a Muggle now. He has seen stupid people, but never such stupid people.
Is this guy really Wei Zheng's son?
"What are you looking at?" Wei Shuyu stared: "Isn't it normal?"
At this moment, a Confucian scholar stepped out from behind Kong Yingda and sharply reprimanded Wei Shuyu: "It means that if people don't know etiquette, what's the difference between them and animals!"
"Are you scolding me?"
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes: "And who are you? I'm talking to Kong Siye, do you have the right to interrupt? Do you understand the etiquette of respect and inferiority?"
Well……
The scholar in Tsing Yi was stunned and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"Stop changing concepts." Kong Yingda said with a smile: "Chen Fu is familiar with the Analects of Confucius and will join the Imperial College as a teacher this year. He is just explaining the principles of etiquette."
Wei Shuyu scolded Chen Fu for who he was, and Kong Yingda immediately gave him a teaching status.
This was used to show that Chen Fu was qualified to reprimand Wei Shuyu.
Chen Fu's embarrassment was resolved with just a few words.
Wei Shuyu curled his lips.
This little old man is just difficult to deal with.
Wei Shuyu was really in trouble for a while.
But if he were to salute Kong Yingda like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting defeat?
No, absolutely impossible.
"This...Chen Fu, right? You just said that if people don't learn etiquette, they are just like animals?"
Wei Shuyu pretended to be stupid and stunned, no matter what others said, he would stick to this point.
Anyway, I am only eleven years old, which is the right age for me to be cute.
"I'm explaining to you what it means if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up." Chen Fu explained, but his momentum became much weaker.
"Then you just admit that you don't learn etiquette and are no different than animals?" Wei Shuyu raised his eyebrows.
"Any questions?"
Chen Fu cupped his hands in the air and said, "The reason why humans are superior to all beasts is because humans are wise and understand etiquette."
"If a person doesn't even understand basic etiquette, how is he different from an animal or a beast?"
Chen Fu's voice was loud and impactful.
He felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his remarks.
He even glanced at Kong Yingda secretly, hoping to be appreciated by Kong Yingda.
After hearing this, Kong Yingda couldn't help but nod.
Chen Fu felt happy and immediately straightened up.
"Be bold!"
Wei Shuyu slapped his palm on the table and scolded him sternly.
This sudden outburst frightened everyone who was watching the show.
"This is the Imperial College, how can you behave like this by bluffing like this!"
With Kong Yingda's support behind him, Chen Fu immediately became bolder.
Although it has not yet become a teaching, it already has the style of teaching.
"What am I talking about?" Wei Shuyu sneered: "You intend to subvert the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, who gave you the courage to scold me!"
"I'm telling you, you're dead!"
"I will tell my father when I get back in the evening and ask him to read a copy of your book in front of His Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu pointed at Chen Fu.
We have a father who is a prime minister!
Isn't it just used to bully people?
"Wei Shuyu, I know you are Wei Zheng's son, but you have to rely on evidence to speak!"
"I, Chen Fu, only read the books of sages. I think I am worthy of the Tang Dynasty and the people of Li. Today you have insulted my reputation. Even if it brings trouble to Your Majesty, I will seek justice!"
Chen Fu had an upright look on his face, and his words were filled with pride, fearlessness of power, and the intention of sacrificing his own life.
His remarks also resonated with many people, who echoed and supported him.
"Brother..." Cui Shenji sneaked up to Wei Shuyu and tugged on the corner of the latter's clothes.
"What are you doing?" Wei Shuyu was arguing so hard that he had no time to think about Cui Shenji.
"You can't fight hard with scholars, you have to do it in private..." Cui Jia Nai, whose fifth surname is Qiwang, understands the mentality of scholars very well.
You can lose your life, but not your reputation.
Wei Shuyu's current actions are simply trying to pry the scholar's roots.
"It's so scary to worry about the ball."
Wei Shuyu looked at Chen Fu again: "They are a bunch of people who are stupid in studying. I have to teach them a lesson today."
Cui Shenji wanted to say something more, but was pushed away by Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuyu's move completely angered everyone.
Even Kong Yingda frowned. He always felt that Wei Shuyu was not so easily convinced and there must be some back-up plan.
"What other evidence do I need to deal with a fool like you?"
Wei Shuyu stepped on the table with his feet. He was an eleven-year-old boy, but his ruffian aura was particularly strong.
He pointed at Chen Fu with one finger: "I'm going to ask you a question. As long as you can answer it well, I, Wei Shuyu, will bow down to you as my teacher and obey your orders for the rest of my life!"
Chen Fu's eyes lit up.
Taking Wei Zheng's son as his disciple is a big name.
It will be of great help to his future reputation and career.
"Tell me more." Chen Fu flicked his sleeves and raised his head to listen.
"Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Tang Dynasty have never read books. Do they know etiquette?"
boom.
Although he said it softly, Chen Fu's ears were like thunder.
His mouth moved slightly, as if he understood what Wei Shuyu was going to say.
And Wei Shuyu did not disappoint him and continued to tell...
"The people don't understand etiquette. Are they the beasts and beasts you call them?"
"Your Majesty has always adhered to the principle of loving the people as children and treating the people as children!"
"And you, a scholar who is nothing, dare to call His Majesty's child a beast!"
"Tell me, are you a spy sent by an enemy country to spread treacherous words? What are your intentions?"
Wei Shuyu's words were as sharp as a knife, shocking everyone.
Chen Fu staggered two steps and turned pale.
Once these remarks spread, he will become a street rat that everyone shouts about.
Who dares to call the people beasts?
No one in the whole world dares!
Many scholars secretly scold the people for being ignorant and stupid, but who dares to say it openly?
"You...you're talking nonsense." Chen Fu's breathing was rapid, and he explained in a panic: "I was just making a metaphor."
"Is it possible to use metaphor to trample on people's personality?" Wei Shuyu said aggressively.
"Don't blame those who don't know. It's understandable that the people haven't learned etiquette." Chen Fu hurriedly replied.
"So you scold the people for not knowing etiquette, and they still have to thank you for forgiving them?" Wei Shuyu asked again.
"enough!"
Seeing that things were beyond his control, Kong Yingda shouted sharply and interrupted the two of them.
thump.
Chen Fu finally couldn't hold back the fear in his heart and fell to the ground.
"Old man, do you want to get involved too?"
Wei Shuyu grinned, revealing his big white teeth.
