The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 217 Too bad, I became a stand-in
Taixue Academy.

Kong Anguo sat quietly in a study room in an attic, holding the Analects of Confucius in his hands and looking at it seriously.

The door was pushed open, Kong Anguo raised his eyes and stared at Wei Ning, glanced at the knife in Wei Ning's hand indifferently, and still sat there motionless, completely unafraid.

"Have you thought clearly? Do you want to argue with me about Confucianism?"

Weining's face was twitching, and the hand holding the steel knife was shaking violently.

He came step by step in front of Kong Anguo and suddenly inserted the steel knife into the desk in front of him.

The document fell into pieces in an instant.

Wei Ning took a deep breath and said indifferently: "You are a descendant of the Kong family. If you are respectful but rude, you will be tired; if you are cautious but rude, you will be embarrassed; if you are brave but rude, you will be chaotic; if you are straight and rude, you will be strangled."

"Your ancestors boasted about governing the country and being a person with etiquette, why did you throw away all of them?"

"You want to debate Confucianism? Okay! This afternoon, on the altar of the Ancestral Temple, I will let the people of Quan Chang'an and all the officials of Han Chang'an come to watch me debate with you!"

"You win, I won't kill you!"

"If you lose, explain and admit all your sins in front of the statue of Confucius in the Ancestral Temple!"

Kong Anguo was slightly stunned.

Wei Ning had a cold face and tried his best to suppress his anger. He wished he could kill Kong Anguo now!
But what he wants is not the death of Kong Anguo, but the ruin of the entire Kong family!

"I will ask Sima Tan to come over with the history books to witness and record everything for the annals of history!"

"Don't you always want me to argue with you? Don't you want to find justice for Shi Qing? I'll give you a chance to see what you can do to find justice for Shi Qing!"

"Since you want to gamble with your family's reputation, then I will help you. Let me see if you can bear the price!"

Kong Anguo said calmly: "Okay!"

"If I win, you can walk to Shandong in person to ask Master Shi to come back."

Wei Ning glanced at him, didn't reply, drew his knife and left.

After Weining left, Kong Anguo gradually put down the Analects in his hand. He was not afraid. He had seen through life and death and scorned Weining's threat.

But he couldn't figure out why Weining was so angry.

I just asked the disciple to say that his mother's personal ethics were deficient. She did not follow the Zhou rites and married a matchmaker to get pregnant, which was an offending etiquette. This is also true.

Is his spirit only this big?It's a pity that I regard him as a person, but he is just like Nanguo Lanyu!
After a while, a Confucian disciple hurriedly stepped over.

"teacher."

The Confucian disciple looked solemn and handed a piece of paper to Kong Anguo: "Please take a look at the remarks that are widely circulated in Chang'an today."

Kong Anguo was a little puzzled and took the paper suspiciously. After reading it, his face turned blood red.

"Who made these vicious words?"

What about Lady Wei San having an affair with Wei Qing, what about Father Wei committing adultery... Chun Chun is just talking nonsense!

Kong Anguo's body was shaking with anger. Who was spreading such rumors without any solid evidence?Who is talking nonsense!

The Confucian disciple shook his head: "Students don't know."

No wonder he is so angry. As a child, who can bear to dig up people's ancestral graves?

Kong Anguo was trembling slightly, his eyes widened suddenly, his face became redder and redder, his face trembled violently, his teeth clenched, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Teacher, teacher!"

"Are you alright!"

Kong Anguo waved his hand, covered his chest and said, "You, get out!"

I've been tricked!
Just now he promised Weining that if he lost in the Confucian debate, he would have to admit all his sins. He had indeed made a fuss about Weining's mother's personal ethics, and there was no excuse for this.

In the land of thousands of chariots, respect and trust.

He has been practicing the classics of the Confucian sages throughout his life, and he has been the author himself. Since he has complied with Weining, he has no excuse for breaking his promise.If he loses, he has to admit his crime. He did it, but he didn't do anything so vicious.

If it is admitted, historians will record it in the annals of history, and Confucius will be completely humiliated.

If he refuses to admit it, he will lose his trust, and Confucian culture will completely collapse in front of him, a descendant of Confucius. How can the Han Dynasty follow the policy of governing the country by deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism?
How could it be like this?
Who is setting me up?
Kong Anguo's whole body was trembling, and his chest seemed to be hit hard.

……

It's three quarters past noon.

The sun is shining.

Next to the Ancestral Temple in Chang'an, a huge stone statue of Confucius stands next to the Ancestral Temple, overlooking the Weiyang Palace.

The towering Taimiao altar was already crowded with people. Merchants, farmers, Confucian scholars and other people stood quietly under the Taimiao altar.

Hundreds of officials came around the altar, stepped onto the steps of the Ancestral Temple altar, and climbed onto the high platform.

Including Dong Zhongshu, Sang Hongyang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Zhuang Qingzhai, Li Cai and other court officials.

In addition, there is also a special bureaucrat, holding a history book and pen and ink.

Taishi Ling, Sima Tan!
Kong Anguo, followed by dozens of Confucian scholars, stepped onto the high platform. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Weining's powerful connections were so huge that he could gather so many people in less than an hour. How could he be so efficient if he wasn't a top-notch powerful person?

After seeing Kong Anguo, Huo Qubing was ready to make a move several times, and Wei Qing also had a rosy complexion and clenched his fists in his sleeves!
After Kong Anguo came to power, another young man came and stood at the forefront of the officials.

Liu Huan, the eldest son of the Han Dynasty.

After everyone arrived, Weining stepped onto the altar of the Ancestral Temple step by step, and countless eyes looked towards Weining.

Liu Huan glanced at Weining indifferently, then at Kong Anguo, and smiled contemptuously.

Everything is within his plan.

When Wei Ning kills Kong Anguo, all Confucian forces will be biased towards me.

Naturally, Kong Anguo didn't say such vicious things. He was a descendant of Confucianism, and he was self-denial and observant of etiquette. He would not do anything to spread rumors and bring harm to the public. It would be an insult to his teacher and his sages!

The descendants of the Kong family cannot do such despicable and vicious methods.

What Kong Anguo said was just the truth. He just said that Wei Pingjun was immoral and unmarried, pregnant and unruly, and he wanted to use this to force Wei Ning to argue with him about Confucianism.

From beginning to end, he just wanted to defeat Weining intellectually, avenge Shi Qing, and find justice.

But Liu Huan saw an opportunity, so he sent some mermaids to sneak into the group of Confucian scholars, adding fuel to the fire to Kong Anguo.

He knew very well where Weining's weakness was.

As a result, the Wei family will be at war with the Kong family, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation.

The Kong family is orthodox in Confucianism and will be the mainstay of the future Han officials. If such a group is used by me, it goes without saying that there will be benefits.

Mom, I caused trouble for you last time. My father deposed you as queen. I'm sorry for you.

Hai'er said that he would never let Wei Ning go, nor the Wei family.

When your children grow up, you don't have to worry anymore.

On the tower of Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stood indifferently with his hands behind his back. Behind him was Zhang Tang, and beside him was the angry Wei Zifu.

Their eyes were fixed on the Ancestral Temple.

Zhang Tang has been found out by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the person behind the rumor is Kong Anguo.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty calmed down, but still felt that there was too much fishiness in this matter.

The Kong family shouldn't be so stupid.
