Chapter 328: All kinds of sins have been added to my body!
"Confucian disciples should not be afraid of their leaders, and Confucian leaders should be afraid of their disciples!"
In the dilapidated small farmhouse, all the great scholars recommended by the teachers and students were here. Jin Sanchuan was the first to speak.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was silent.
It couldn't be more obvious who Jin Sanchuan was alluding to with his words.
And when they found out that Li Shiqi got so much money after agreeing to Liu Bai's attendance at the Baijia Forum, they were even more shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
At first, they were shocked that Liu Bai could pay such a high price to Li Shiqi.
Secondly, they also admired Li Shiqi's integrity.
Is it difficult to make money? It's hard! It is precisely because it is difficult to make money that money appears to be important.
But Li Shiqi just spent the money from "selling himself", but he himself was "alone".
Looking at the sloppy appearance and ripped scholar shirt, everyone thought of a name:
Yan Hui!
This old Mr. Li Shiqi was misunderstood by the world and called a 'madman'.
In fact, this noble integrity is like a firefly in the dark night, which cannot be concealed no matter what.
"Mr. Li, our Confucian school has fallen to this point. Chun Yuyue and Shu Sun Tong are both dead. In the court, all the Confucian officials have been quietly dismissed in the past few days."
"Sir, can you shine a light on us?"
A great scholar spoke sadly.
When Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong died, he was not sad because these two bastards were the culprits who brought them to this point.
but...
Confucianism has completely lost power in the court!
This school of thought, which relies on political ideals, has been completely eliminated politically. Does this herald the demise of Confucianism?
This is where he grieves.
When he said these words, everyone was silent, but their eyes were looking at Li Shiqi.
In a desperate situation, they need a leader holding a torch.
Li Shiqi, who had been listening to them quietly and watching their emotional ups and downs, slowly stood up and finally spoke:
"The world..."
"There are a lot of people who are called sir."
As soon as Li Shiqi opened his mouth, people were confused.
The scholar who asked the question frowned slightly.
He wanted to hear Li Shengqi's high opinions, not the "high opinions" of "the world".
"A learned person is called sir."
"Elders, be called sir."
"Everyone who can do fortune-telling, divination, singing, practicing medicine, and reading Feng Shui can be a teacher." ("The Analects of Confucius: Politics" states: "If there is wine and food, the teacher will eat the food.")
"Even my father and brother are called sir."
"in this way..."
"Everyone here is called sir."
"But why are we called sir?"
Li Shiqi slowly asked the question, but did not let anyone else answer, but said as if talking to himself:
"People... like to call people who can help them sir. To show humility."
"What I can do to help you... is to lead a way."
As soon as Li Shiqi said these words, everyone's eyes lit up.
What he said just now is so profound that it even touches on human nature.
The next turning point was Mr. Li's 'promise'.
He wants to lead a path for us Confucians!
"Sir, please speak up!"
The great scholar spoke.
"The path of Confucianism is not in the court, but in education!"
"In the past, there were three thousand disciples of Confucius, including seventy-two sages. This is enough to prove my ability to educate people in Confucianism!"
"Now that the library has been built, everyone in Xianyang has naturally seen the people's thirst for knowledge."
"I, a Confucian disciple, am very knowledgeable and can go to the library to educate people."
Li Shiqi said calmly.
After saying these words, everyone's expressions changed instantly, as if a tiger suddenly appeared in front of them!
Entering the library to educate people?
Wouldn't that make him Liu Bai's 'lackey'?
"No!"
The great scholar who had just asked the question suddenly stood up and said, "Liu Bai is a cunning fellow. He is the one who has brought our Confucianism to this point. We go into the library to help him teach and educate people. Where is the integrity of Confucianism?"
After Da Ru said these words, everyone nodded.
Looking at the current scene, Jin Sanchuan almost got angry and beat up this so-called great scholar.
Liu Xiang is kind-hearted and let you live, but you are still talking about integrity here?
"Who told you that the library belongs to Liu Bai?"
Li Shiqi frowned slightly.
As soon as this question came out, everyone was speechless.
Indeed...Liu Bai proposed the library, and he was even responsible for it in the early days.
but...
Later, it was built jointly by Prince Fusu and Prince Che. Strictly speaking, this place belonged to the Qin royal family.
"We are entering the library to benefit the Qin Dynasty and the people of the Qin Dynasty. How can we talk about Liu Bai?"
"If you are dedicated to serving the public, how can you have any sectarian views?"
"If you are so narrow-minded, don't say anything again!"
Li Shiqi looked angry and was about to leave.
And such a move really made them panic.
The only torch in the desperate situation seems to be leaving, so where should they go?
"Mr. Li, that's not what I meant..."
"It's just that... the way to educate people is not just about the library!"
A great scholar stood up quickly, bit Li Shiqi's sleeve, and begged. (There is a historical allusion to this matter, I forgot who it was.)
"Yes, when we go to the countryside, we can also educate people!"
"Mr. Li, this matter needs long-term consideration!"
"...."
All the great scholars stood up, their faces full of pleading to stay.
Unexpectedly,
Li Shiqi flicked his sleeves, and the great scholar fell into the dust.
"Confused!"
"Today you are fighting in Xianyang. The general Lu Gongzi of Xianyang is extremely dissatisfied with your release from prison. Even if you return to your hometown and spread your knowledge, will the court agree?"
"Chunyu, my uncle and my grandson committed serious crimes and died, and they were implicated. Are there any of you who are spared?"
"When the Baijia Lecture Forum is opened, Confucianism will decline, and classes will be held in the library. Will anyone be able to listen to your class?"
“Going into the countryside to teach and educate people is no different than going into the water to catch falcons!”
"You are so pedantic, I will stop talking to you!"
Li Shiqi was furious and wanted to leave!
And his three questions were like three thunders that exploded in everyone's hearts!
Even Jin Sanchuan was fooled!
Is this madman so good at talking? After asking these three questions, he almost felt that these Confucians were doomed!
Looking at Li Shiqi,
The old man said he wanted to leave, but his steps were extremely slow!
"Mr. Li, I'm... willing!"
Finally, before Li Shiqi left quickly, the great scholar in the courtyard finally figured it out.
"It's just that if we want to teach in the library, Liu Bai will definitely get in the way...Mr. Li, we really don't have the confidence to make Liu Bai, a guy who is bound to retaliate, let go of his prejudices!"
The scholar said bitterly.
Only when people taste the bitter fruit will they realize the seriousness of their previous mistakes.
As soon as these words came out, Li Shiqi turned around with a look of compassion on his face:
"Everyone, please don't disturb me. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize for this matter!"
"Even if I am cut into pieces and die here, I will not frown!"
"In the name of Confucian Li Shiqi, it would be a sin for me to invite him."
"All kinds of sins will be added to my body!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of crying in the small courtyard!
Jin Sanchuan's eyes widened!
Be good,
This is the master!
