When Zi You took Xue Nu, Concubine Yan, and Chu Liyi back to the Little Saint's Manor day and night, many people had already come to the Little Saint's Manor. Everyone looked gloomy on the surface, but in fact they were only thinking about something. They themselves know it.
At this time, Li Si saw Ziyou coming and waved quickly, and Ziyou drove over in his carriage.
"Junior brother, you are back. The teacher is waiting for you in the back mountain." Li Si said, and then looked at Xue Nu and Yan Fei who Ziyou brought back. He knew Yan Fei and had met him once when they were in Jixia. He had also heard about the fate of Xue Nu. Ziyou abducted someone else's best friend in Feixue Pavilion. As for Chui Liyi, he didn't know him. Looking at Chui Liyi's age, he dismissed the idea that he was Ziyou's illegitimate child.
"Okay, I understand. This is my new apprentice named Chui Liyi." Ziyou said to Chui Liyi, "Yi, this is my senior brother, Li Si, your second senior uncle."
"Uncle." Chui Liyi saluted and said.
"Well, come with me to see the teacher first. Wu Hehou is also there. There is some trouble this time." Li Si said in a low voice.
Looking at Li Si's serious expression, Ziyou also understood that if this matter is not handled well, it will be another civil strife in Confucianism. The civil strife in Confucianism has never stopped. Although Mencius proposed righteousness and determined benevolence. The meaning temporarily stabilized Confucianism, but the eight schools of Confucianism have always been dissatisfied with others. It was only for the sake of the overall situation of Confucianism, and Xunzi followed Mencius, who kept suppressing these people, so they did not become chaotic.
Xue Nu and Yan Fei followed Zi You cautiously. One of them was a dancer, and the other was from the Yin Yang family. Now they have arrived at Little Sage Village. Besides, they are all heads or family members of various Confucian families along the way. They are all well-known figures, so naturally there is a lot of pressure on them.
Qi Liyi looked at the people along the way curiously. Observing these people, he found that Confucianism was still very reliable. Like his teacher Ziyou, there was only one person who could change the classics.
Li Si led Ziyou and his party through the path directly to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
"This time the matter is very complicated. The old master is critically ill, and Fu Nian is too young. Although he has a small reputation in Qi State, he is still far behind people from various families, so Zizhang headed by the Chunyu family The Zisi family and the Zisi family want to compete for the position of the head of Confucianism." Li Si said.
The competition among Confucians for the position of leader is not to hold a giant like Confucianism. Except for Confucius, no one else has this ability. Even Mencius only stabilized the situation and dare not say that he can command various Confucian schools and factions. .
Therefore, the position of the leader is more of a symbol. It means that each family agrees with your recognition of Confucian classics and theories, that is, it agrees with your knowledge and understanding of the knowledge of the sages. No matter where you place it among the hundreds of schools, It is the highest honor for a family, that is, the issue of orthodoxy, especially in Confucianism, which is a top priority. Otherwise, the Confucian school would not have been beaten to death over the issue of orthodoxy.
But in the final analysis, it is all for the sake of our family's knowledge and ideas to flourish. To spread knowledge and ideas, students are indispensable, especially high-quality students. Xiaoshengxianzhuang is an iconic place of Confucianism, and every year there are A large number of people come to study, and there are many high-quality students among them. At the same time, each family will also let their own people come to study in Xiaoshengxian Village, because the head of Xiaoshengxian Village can only be found among the people who study in Xiaoshengxian Village. Regardless of age.
The position of the head of the Confucian school is responsible for the teaching and enrollment of Xiaoshengxian Village, so this position becomes particularly important. Every family is eyeing it. If a person from that lineage is the head, it will make the lineage prosperous. , after all, not everyone can travel around the country to recruit disciples like Confucius and Mencius, or like Xunzi, who opens a school wherever he goes to attract a large number of outstanding students to study.
"Do they want to compete for the position of the leader of Confucianism? Aren't they afraid of being scolded to death by the teacher?" Ziyou said, holding his forehead. Although Xunzi scolded them all over the twelve disciples, who did Xunzi despise the most? .
Li Si was also silent. Ziyou looked at Li Si and saw Han Fei standing outside the bamboo gate. Well, these are two people who want to destroy Confucianism. Li Si and Han Fei are very concerned about Xunzi and Confucianism. In terms of opinions, the young are better than the old, Xunzi is just criticizing, and both of them have the idea of destroying Confucianism.
After seeing Li Si returning with Ziyou and his party, Han Fei hurriedly greeted them. Then he saw Concubine Yan and Xue Nu behind Ziyou. He immediately forgot about his mission and winked at Ziyou.
"Junior brother, you can do it, but be careful of a fire in your backyard." Han Fei whispered.
"Is this why the teacher asked you to come here?" Ziyou rolled his eyes and said.
"Of course not. The teacher asked me to see why you haven't come yet. Now you and Junior Brother Zhang Cang are the only ones left. The two youngest of you are the last to come." Han Fei put his arm on Ziyou's shoulder and said, looking at Looking at Xue Nu and Concubine Yan, I couldn't help but sigh, why didn't I have the luck with a woman like Zi You?
He saw a short Chui Liyi again and said
"Is this your new apprentice?"
"Yes, where is Wu Hehou?" Ziyou asked.
"Teacher!" Wu Hehou came out from behind the bamboo door and saluted Zi Xing.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. How was your study at Little Saint's Manor?" Ziyou said, stroking their heads.
"My classmates are very friendly and treat us well. If they have anything delicious or fun, they will give it to us first. They all say that I look like the teacher back then." Wu said while touching his nose. Wu's personality is still so out-of-the-box.
"Master, he is very kind to us. Master and uncle will teach us literacy and swordsmanship." Hou is still the same, more honest and honest, and his words are more steady.
Listening to what the two said, Hou should have no problem with what he said, but what Wu said made Ziyou a little suspicious. When did Xiaoshengxianzhuang become so in love with each other? He originally thought that Wu and Hou would be bullied? But it seems that the two of them are living well, it must be because of the virtuous reputation he left behind in Xiaoshengxian Manor. Hey, as a teacher, he really worries about his students' studies and life.
Li Si and Han Fei looked at Wu and fell into silence for a while. Wu's words were correct, there was no problem at all, he indeed had the same demeanor as Ziyou did back then. The new generation of Xiaoshengxianzhuang students were all in charge, and the students called him Wu's fourth brother. , in fact, they want to know who poured a lot of internal strength into these two children, especially Wu, who taught him the desperate means that only the frontier soldiers have? Isn't it a dimensionality-reducing blow to let people like Wu fight with these students?
"Our fourth brother Wu is right. Do you think it's Mr. You?" Han Fei teased.
Ziyou felt embarrassed when he heard his original name, glared at Wu and said
"Who asked you to make a nickname? The teacher will teach you a lesson after I see you."
Ziyou turned around and looked at Yi and said
"Yilai, these are your two senior brothers, Li Wu and Li Hou, and this is your younger junior brother, Chu Liyi."
Ami and Aniu were their nicknames, and they were easy to make a living with, so they didn't have their own big names. After their parents found out, they agreed to Ziyou's name.
"Hello, senior brother." "Hello, junior brother."
"Xue'er, you go to the yard next door and wait for me."
Zi You arranged for Chu Liyi, Xue Nu, and Concubine Yan to follow Li Si and Han Fei into Xunzi's courtyard.
