The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 74 Confucian Faction [Please collect and recommend]

"What I want to say is that this son will not stay in Korea for long!" Bai Yifei pointed out directly when he saw that Ji Wuye didn't understand what he meant.

"You mean, he was released and trained by the State of Wei, or a contemporary leader released by the Yan family of the State of Chu!" Ji Wuye also understood what Bai Yifei said.

An established aristocrat like the Yan family would not easily allow their children to become officials, and once they became officials, they would represent the entire Yan family.

"Well, the coir raincoat guest has checked his origins. The senior brother of Yushan Academy of the Yan family killed Lord Yangling of Chu State, but attracted the Southern Sword Master and Tantai Mieming to come out to support him. The Confucian Gongyang lineage also came to support him. With his support, people in the world nicknamed him the Little Sword Master of the South."

"Master Wenzong Xun also personally said that this son is expected to become another Wenzong of Confucianism after Xun Qing!"

"Then when did he study at Xihe Academy?" Ji Wuye was stunned.

"Can't find it!" Bai Yifei shook his head.

Ye Mu's intelligence scope is only in South Korea, and does not extend to Wei and Chu.

What they can find is their limit.

Ji Wuye didn't ask any more questions, and he also knew that the night was just inside the nest, and his tentacles could not reach outside South Korea.

"What's your suggestion?" Ji Wuye spoke again.

"Don't offend him if you can. At least we don't dare to kill him. Then we might as well provide him with help and make a good relationship before his wings mature!" Bai Yifei said seriously.

Yan Yan, they are not afraid.

But the Yan family, Confucian family, and Jianmeng behind Yan Yan were not people they dared to offend easily.

Especially when Yan Yan killed Lord Yangling, even Chu State did not dare to hold him accountable, and they in South Korea were even less capable of doing so.

"Then let's do it. At least now we are friends rather than enemies. There is no need to offend him!" Ji Wuye nodded and confirmed his attitude towards Yan Yan.

After returning to the Zhang family, Kaifang also called his son, South Korea's Foreign Minister Zhang Ping and his grandson Zhang Liang, and told them what happened in the court.

"Since Mr. Shudong comes from Confucianism, why did he side with Ji Wuye when he entered Korea instead of coming to our Zhang family?" Zhang Liang was very confused.

The Zhang family is also a branch of Confucianism, and it is the talkative person of Confucianism in Korea. Generally, Confucian scholars will follow the Zhang family's path when entering Korea, so Yan Yan is in the Ji Wuye lineage, which he can't understand.

"There is nothing to be confused about. Confucianism also has many branches. The Yan family and the Tantai family have been far away from the Central Plains for too long. To be precise, they are closer to the Confucian Zengzi family, and we are from the Zisi family. Pulse." Zhang Kai said calmly.

When the Confucian sect was in chaos, disciples such as Yanzi and Tantai Mieming recommended Zengzi to take over as the head of the Confucian school. Even Confucius believed that Zengzi was the most suitable successor to Yan Huiwai and taught his grandson Zisi to Zengzi.

However, Zengzi refused and did not take over the banner of Confucianism, which led to great chaos in the Confucian sect. Besides Zengzi, the most qualified person to succeed Confucius was naturally Zisi.

But Yanzi and Tantai Mieming obeyed Zengzi, but that didn't mean they would obey Zisi. After all, Zisi was considered their junior!
Especially later, after the birth of Mencius, Confucianism and Zisi formed the Simeng school.

At that time, the Yan family and the Tantai family had fled to the south and no longer participated in the Confucian struggle. Naturally, they did not belong to the Simeng school.

Therefore, although they are also Confucians, they are really not familiar with the Yan family and the Tantai family!

"Confucianism is bigger and more chaotic than you think!" Zhang Ping reminded Zhang Liang as he looked at him.

Even if Confucianism fights within itself, it will be even worse than if outsiders fight against it!

"What I'm still puzzled about is that he is a prominent figure from the southern lineage. Why is he related to Xihe Academy? You must know that Xihe Academy is from Zixia's lineage!" Zhang Kaidi said seriously.During the Confucian turmoil, the Yan family and the Tantai family supported Zengzi, while Zixia supported Youzi (one of the 72 sages, whose name was Youruo and whose courtesy name was Ziyou. He proposed that "the purpose of etiquette is to use harmony as the most precious thing". ), so the Zixia lineage and the Yan family and the Tantai family are the real enemies.

More importantly, Yanzi is known as the leader of Confucian literature, while Youzi is a genius in Confucian literature, and the competition between the two is the most intense.

Therefore, the worst relationship within Confucianism is between Yanzi and Youzi!

This made the Zhang family very confused as to why the Yan family was related to Xihe Academy.

In particular, Wu Qi came from Xihe Academy, but died in the hands of the Chu nobles. If the Yan family and the Tantai family were not behind this, they would not believe it.

Zhang Liang was completely speechless. He was still not clear about the Confucian struggle.

Zhang Ping was also puzzled by this. He knew the danger of fighting between two equally powerful academics.

"Perhaps this is why we couldn't find out that Shudong studied at Xihe Academy!" Zhang Ping said after thinking.

"Is there a possibility that when he was studying in Xihe Academy, he didn't use the name Shudong!" Zhang Liang said.

It is impossible for Xihe Academy to accept children from the Yan family and Tantai family, but what if Yan Yan did not use the name Shudong when he studied at Xihe Academy?

Zhang Kaidi and Zhang Ping looked at each other. This was something Confucians often did.

After all, Yan Yan had used the name Gongyang Zimo before, and if he admitted to Xihe Academy under the name of another branch of Confucianism, Xihe Academy probably wouldn't know about it!

Or maybe Xihe Academy knew it but pretended it didn't know, so when they went to investigate, Xihe Academy would keep it secret!

"In short, we'd better not get involved in the fight between Xihe Academy and the Yan family!" I thought for a while and decided not to wade into this muddy water.

What if the two families got mad and they rashly intervened, it would be a thankless task, and they might even be affected by the situation and make enemies for nothing.

"No matter, don't ask, just send the gifts out of the country!" Kaifang finally decided on his attitude towards Yan Yan.

They don't think that Yan Yan will stay in South Korea. He may just come to South Korea to get gold, and eventually he will go to Wei State and confront Xihe Academy!

Therefore, the Zhang family decided to wait quietly and watch the Confucian Xia lineage and Yanzi lineage compete again after many years.

As for why the fight started, the Confucian dispute, from ancient times to the present, does not need a reason or trigger at all.

In other words, this generation of Yan family has a great talent, so they go to Wei State to provoke them.

After all, now that I have a Qilin at home, I won’t be arrogant and wait until I can’t beat him before I laugh?

If a great talent appeared in the Zhang family, would they not provoke the Confucian leftists?
Yan Yan hadn't thought about that much. What he was thinking about now was just to absorb knowledge crazily, waiting for an opportunity to realize enlightenment in Longchang. Now he was studying abroad, studying abroad, studying again, absorbing, absorbing, absorbing again!

Therefore, when King Han's edict was delivered to him, Yan Yan also started to pack his things and took Shao Siming to prepare to go to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

As for the intrigues and disputes in the court in Xinzheng, Yan Yan has no intention of participating in it, nor does he want to take care of it!

In Yan Yan's view, as a Confucian scholar, he would just be a scholar and participate in court disputes randomly, and his own death would be his own fault!
