If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 225: Confucianism and Taoism·Minor words and great principles
"As for you..."

Lin Ke looked at Liu Jijiu:
"If you hadn't taken such measures just to keep your official position, but had been fair and strict, without forming cliques, maybe I wouldn't have said anything, but now you are no longer suitable."

Liu Jijiu's expression changed, and finally turned into a sigh, "If the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel both believe that the old man should return to his hometown, then the old man...should obey."

His voice contained 92% sadness, [-]% powerlessness, and [-]% grievance.

"poor thing!"

"This Liu Jijiu has been working as a Jijiu wine all his life, but he ended up like this."

"Yes, an old man is really tearful."

The crowd reacted immediately, pointing at Liu Jijiu and discussing.

"How brave!"

"presumptuous!"

However, at this moment, Shangshu Xun and Lin Ke both yelled.

A scroll of bamboo slips appeared in Shangshu Xun's hand, and the characters on it flew out one by one, all in small seal script.

There is a saying on the bamboo slip: "Qin Rites".

"Since you are offering wine to the Imperial Academy, how can you use your 'small words of great justice' to the common people?!" Shangshu Xun shouted coldly, and all the small seal characters flew towards Liu Jijiu, flying up and down around him.

Lin Ke also frowned: "What are you thinking, doing such behavior in public?"

Just now, Liu Jijiu actually used the power of a great Confucian in those few sentences, and the "small words and great meaning" were very strong in them.

A single word can destroy the enemy!
As for Liu Jijiu, he had just treated the people around him with subtle words and great kindness!

Use your own language as a starting point to leverage the compassion in people's hearts.

Just now, Lin Ke only felt a force trying to affect his consciousness, but he didn't expect that Liu Jijiu would affect so many people at the same time!

If Shangshu Xun hadn't also scolded him, Lin Ke would probably have thought that Liu Jijiu was just trying to influence him.

"You... how could you know..." The words of Lin Ke and Xun Shangshu made Liu Jijiu panic for a moment.

And high in the sky, some thoughts were also exchanged.

"It's strange. A mere mid-fifth realm scholar shouldn't be able to resist the power of Liu Jijiu's subtle words of righteousness!"

"Indeed, as long as Shangshu Xun does not use the power of the official seal at all times, there will be no mental protection."

"Is there something special about Xun Shangshu's literary mind?"

"He? He is just a person who is indebted to Lin Ke Qingyun. His Wenxin is just an ordinary Benevolent Wenxin. If Wanmin Wenxin can resist the power of the later stage in the mid-term."

"What about Lin Ke? Why can Lin Ke also notice it?"

"I don't know... maybe the Holy Emperor favors..."

These thoughts were exchanged, and Shangshu Xun below also opened his mouth to answer.

"Although you are in the late stage of the fifth realm and are about to break through to the gentleman realm, you are not yet a gentleman, and I am not a coward."

Speaking of this, Shangshu Xun couldn't help but feel a little proud on his face: "I visited Mr. Lin a few days ago, but I had some enlightenment under the plum blossom tree. Now the power of Wenxin has begun to touch My bones..."

As soon as these words came out, the thoughts above suddenly started roaring, and even each one almost appeared physical.

Whether it was Confucian literary thoughts or Taoist Nascent Souls, they almost couldn't control their emotions and showed up. You can imagine the shock in your heart.

"Touching the bones? What do you mean touching the bones? It's insulting to gentlemen and makes me angry!"

"Is this an insult to politeness? Are you jealous? Stop talking, I'm jealous too." "It hurts! It hurts too much! I've been running around the world for six hundred years and haven't broken through to the sixth realm yet. I don't want this old man to A man in his mid-career years will be able to 'blood into his bones'!"

"In the middle of the fifth realm, the blood of Wenxin can penetrate into the bones. It is estimated that it will become a 'gentleman's bone' within a hundred years, right?"

"Hundred years? He is a minister! I am afraid that with two armors, he can turn all the bones in his body into the bones of a gentleman and reach the sixth level of a gentleman! I am not willing to accept this!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lin Kelin's plum blossom tree actually has such an effect? ​​I heard before that Mr. Lin Ke has been observing things under the plum blossom tree all year round, and he has become increasingly wiser."

"It's nonsense. This kind of stuff is just market rumors. Those people made it up to deceive people. I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, don't go. Hey, why did I remember that not long ago you secretly went to Master Lin and asked for a leaf to make a peace charm for your grandchildren?"

"I remember that it was just an ordinary tree of the holy way. It might take tens of thousands of years to grow into a treasure like the bodhi tree."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't go anyway! I'll go take a look another day, maybe my blood will be as strong as my bones."

Your own failure is sad, but the success of others is even more heartbreaking.

As these people talked, the topic became more and more crooked.

Below, Shangshu Xun used his power to ban the willow sacrifice wine, while emitting a few strands of literary thoughts to eavesdrop on these people's speech.

When I first heard the envy of these people, I felt extremely proud. In the middle, I was curious about why Lin Ke could not be affected. Later, I started to make calculations in my heart.

The fact that he was able to reach the threshold of being promoted to the gentleman realm in the mid-term was indeed the effect brought about by the tree of the holy way!
Although the tree of the Holy Path looked unattractive, he went to visit Lin Ke that day and was about to leave after a conversation, but he accidentally felt that the texture of the tree was very beautiful.

When I went up to check it out, I felt the texture was natural, and I realized something from this.

The so-called etiquette is just like the pattern of the trees!
As long as the whole can grow within the framework of the "tree" and follow a certain context, it will become beautiful!

The tree is the Great Wei Dynasty!

And etiquette is this framework and context!

People in the Wei Dynasty only need to do things according to the framework of etiquette, without breaking through the framework of etiquette, so that the whole tree can grow normally and thrive!

Then, Shangshu Xun thought it through, and his tailbone was inexplicably infected with literary spirit, but it was Wen Xin who had integrated his hard work into his bone marrow.

From now on, the bone marrow in his tailbone will continuously produce new blood, flowing throughout the body, and then slowly contaminating other bones into Wen Gu, or Gentleman Bone.

On that day, Shangshu Xun, who has the bones of a gentleman, will become a gentleman.

Thinking of this, Shangshu Xun tried his best to suppress the pride on his lips, and made up his mind to visit Lin Ke's house more often in the future.

Maybe that day I will be enlightened again and become a late-stage Confucian. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?

As for Lin Ke, naturally he didn't know what Shangshu Xun was thinking, and he couldn't hear the exchanges between the powerful men in the sky.

All he knew was that if his real body wasn't far away in Yunmengze and protected by the staff of the holy standard, he would probably have fallen into the trap of the willow sacrificial wine.

"Since you have the guts to do such deceptive things, then you have one more crime to commit."

Lin Ke waved his hand: "Xun Shangshu, take care of the matter of Liu Jijiu, and I won't care about it."

As he said that, he took one last look at the Murong family over there and left a sentence:

"Everyone with the surname Murong should exile themselves to Yunmengze, otherwise I will help you and others be exiled."

"Time, within today."

"Oh, by the way, stop looking for relationships. I'm very angry and irritable today, so don't mess with me."

"If you offend me, I'll scold you."
