Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 88 Misinterpreting the Analects of Confucius and scaring the Master away (2)

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jia Qi.

Jia Qi didn't feel any nervousness, but was full of expectations.

Today is his first step towards misinterpreting the classics.

He stood up and said confidently.

"Don't say it. I still know what this sentence means. Confucius is telling us not to give to others what we don't want."

For a moment, the entire school was shocked.

Everyone looked at him in disbelief.

Even an unlearned person like Wang Ren knows what this sentence means.

Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't do to others what you don't like.

How come you, Jia Qi, have become something you don’t want, and you don’t give it to others?

What are these and what are they?

Master Dong Li’s face became even darker.

"This is how you study Confucian classics, this is how you study the Analects of Confucius. Who told you this is how this sentence is interpreted?"

Jia Qi said very confidently.

"Does anyone else need to tell me this kind of thing? Isn't that what the literal meaning means? Master, it means that you don't agree with my explanation?"

"Nonsense, no one will accept your explanation."

"Okay, let me ask you a question. If you don't like your home if you don't like it, will you give it to someone else? If you don't like your wife, will you give it to someone else? No, right? It means doing what you don't want others to do. Don’t do it to others.”

Misinterpretation of Classics×1
  "Bullshit."

Dong Li was so angry that he slapped the table.

"It's so treasonous and disrespectful. You dare to misinterpret the Analects of Confucius like this. You don't deserve to be in my school. Get out of here now."

Jia Qi looked at the system prompts that his misinterpretation of classics had become 1%. How could he leave?
  So he shook his head without hesitation.

"Why do you think what I said is a misinterpretation? I still think what I said is right. What I said is literal. There are 1000 different classics in the eyes of 1000 people. If you think what I said is wrong, you can refute it. As a master, I can't be so arrogant."

"What you said is absolutely wrong. It's obviously fallacy."

Dong Li pointed at Jia Qi angrily.

"Why is it fallacy? Did the example I just gave offend you? If so, I apologize to you, but I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Analects that I understand."

Dong Li pointed at Jia Qi with a teaching ruler.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this. This school is what I say. I don't want to teach you anymore, so get out now."

Jia Qi took the ruler over with a smile on his face.

"Master, you must have heard of a saying that says that the son has strange power and confuses the spirit without words, right?"

Dong Li said with a gloomy face.

"What do you want to say?"

Jia Qin happily held the teaching ruler with both hands and exerted a slight force. He completed a circle on this copper ruler specially made by the Imperial Academy, and then held it into a ball with both hands.

"Master once said that when you encounter an enemy, you don't need to speak. You just need to use your own strange power to beat the person unconscious. Master, do you think my explanation is correct?"

Misinterpretation of Classics×2
  At this moment, it wasn’t just Master Dong Li’s expression that changed.

Even the expressions of other students sitting in the school also changed.

That's a copper ruler. It takes a lot of strength to be able to hold it into a ball so easily.

Thinking about what he just said, he used strange force to beat the person unconscious.

If this was really done, no one present would be able to withstand it. At the same time, under the influence of the system, some people even think that what Jia Qi said is right.

If Confucius really had such great power, this explanation would make sense.

But looking at the darkened faces of the father and son, they could only hide in the corner and watch the situation develop silently.

The Master took a deep breath and then said.

"The Analects of Confucius is the summary of Confucius' lifelong enlightenment. How can you allow a villain like you to misinterpret it? Don't you know that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. Although I have not heard it today, I am willing to die to protect the Tao. As a father and son, I will definitely die today. I’m going to teach you a lesson.”

Jia Qi clapped her hands directly after hearing this.

"Master said it very well. If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening. Isn't this what Confucius told us, if he knows the way to your house in the morning, he will beat you to death in the evening? Master, be careful. , don’t let me find a way to your house, otherwise I really can’t guarantee whether I will take action.”

Misinterpretation of Classics×3
  The master who was about to take action was immediately frightened and took a step back.

But after retreating, he became angry from shame.

"This is outrageous. You really think that this Imperial College is your Imperial College. This is the Imperial College of the Great Zhou Empire. As the Master of the Imperial College, you actually dare to threaten me?"

Jia Qi shook his head and said with a smile.

"No, no, no, Master, you are wrong. I never threatened you. I was just translating Confucius' words. If you really think what I said is wrong, I can leave."

"But I think you are wrong, Master, so I must educate you well before I leave."

"Zi once said, there is no distinction between people under education. What does that mean? It means that when I educate you, I don't care who you are."

"Even if you are my elder or relative, I can still educate you."

"You are just a master, a person who teaches me knowledge, so I can naturally educate you."

Misinterpretation of Classics×4
  Dong Li felt that he was going crazy.

He felt that if he continued to stay, he would be pissed off by this person.

Moreover, this Jia Qi has strange powers, and it will be dangerous for him to stay.

Instead of continuing to spend time with him here, it's better to stay out of sight.

"Okay, okay, you're awesome. I'm too lazy to talk to you. You won't leave, right? If you don't leave, I will."

Dong Li turned around and left.

This left Jia Qi speechless.

Why are you so impatient?
  If you stay a little longer, I will misinterpret several classics.

You said you were leaving, how could I continue to misinterpret the classics, and how could I advance my mission?
  "Master, how can you leave?"

"The Master once said: What the Master seeks is different from what others seek?"

"Isn't this telling us that what a master wants is for all the different voices to beg you. Do they sound the same voice as you?"

"I just refuted you a few words now. Now that you are gone, are you worthy of the teachings of the sages? Are you worthy of the classics you have learned over the years?"

Misinterpretation of Classics×5
  When Dong Li heard his words, he walked faster and disappeared outside the door in an instant.

At this moment, everyone in the school looked at Jia Qi with astonishment.

Although most of them do not agree with what he said about the Analects.

But they were also shocked that someone could misinterpret the classics to this extent.

And a few of them who recognized it, with the blessing of a hundred times the effect, even felt that Jia Qi was a rising new saint.

It took a while before everyone came back to their senses.

Wang Ren rolled his eyes and picked up the Analects of Confucius and approached Jia Qi.
