Confucianism is supreme? I am reciting Tang poems in another world!

Chapter 486 Bai Ye’s Punishment, the Hall of Inquiry

"Your father's status as a sinner has not been cleared up, and the mistakes he committed have not been made up for. These are all facts. Even if I say nothing today, these are unchangeable facts, but Bai Ye and your father No, the benevolence your father seeks in his life is the benevolence of the world, and the righteousness he seeks in his life is the righteousness of the world."

"And what Bai Ye did was just to recover his wife's soul, and he sacrificed the justice of the world for his own selfish desires."

When Yan Zheng said this, there was a bit of coldness in his voice, "I know you are on good terms with Bai Ye, but today you do not distinguish between right and wrong and make arrogant arguments, which makes me very disappointed."

Ci Song was left speechless by Yan Zheng. Yan Zheng was the dean of Yan Sheng Academy. He had been familiar with various sages' books since he was a child. His eloquence and logical ability were also among the best in Confucianism. Ci Song Song Dynasty also heard that Ci Qibai said that Yan Zheng was a man of ordinary talent and the first Confucian scholar in the world. What he said and did must be in line with the rules and principles.

"OK OK."

Kong Fang, who was sitting on the main seat, interrupted: "My Confucianism emphasizes that the king of heaven and earth is the master, the sky is in front, the earth is behind, the king is on the left, the master is on the right, and the master is last. A teacher respects heaven, why? I, a Confucian, want to respect heaven? Is it because there are many things that a person must do in his life? Every word, deed, and action will affect others, even the world. Therefore, as a teacher and a role model, you must do things rightly. Only by respecting heaven can you make a wrong step, so that the gap will not be a chasm. "

"Today, as teachers, we cannot judge the merits and demerits of a student. Instead, we argue about what is right and wrong. In this case, how can we set an example for the world? How can we convince the world? I Confucianism pays attention to strictness and rules. Although Bai Ye's behavior was unruly, it was his first offense and he already knew his mistake. "

"If we don't give him a chance today, how will the world view us? What kind of role model will we set? Are we going to drive him out? Or should we just let him go and let him do nothing in the future? What a disaster, will we ever think about regretting it again? Don’t let the world think that we, the Confucians, are all ruthless and unjust people.”

Kong Fang's words were obviously meant to attack Yan Zheng. Both inside and outside his words seemed to be defining the matter.

"Baiye is peaceful and peaceful. Five people, Tantai Junheng, Ci Song, Zhongqi, and Zeng Xiangteng, risked their lives to save each other. If Baiye's cultivation is abolished, wouldn't the efforts of the five of them be wasted? What's more, Zhong The boy also gave up his blue pen, which shows that he approves of Bai Ye. Therefore, this matter must be considered carefully. Don't let a good person be ruined just because of these trivial things. Besides, what we did today is so unjust. ?

"Today we are going to destroy a student's cultivation indiscriminately. In the future, if we spend the whole day cleaning up the world, how will we deal with ourselves?"

Kong Fang stood up from the main seat, glanced at everyone present, and said: "Bai Ye's matter is both big and small. If Tianguan was not invaded by aliens before the cracks healed, then this matter would It's just a trivial matter, and punishing him at this time would appear to be too ruthless on our part. Therefore, we will have to wait and see the subsequent development before making a decision."

"Furthermore, what you said before, Yan Zheng, is also biased. Everyone in Tianguan knows that the Chaos Realm is full of dangers. Not to mention the chaotic beasts and aliens that can be seen everywhere. There are also weird things wandering around in the Chaos Realm. So in In the three-thousand-year history of Tianguan, there were only a few dozen or so people who broke into Tianguan. Therefore, Bai Ye made the mistake that normal people would never make. His real mistake was that he opened a new crack in the divine wall. "

"Therefore, the punishment for Bai Ye should not be too light, nor too severe. He should be imprisoned in the Wenxin Hall for three months and subjected to the Wenxin test every day. What do you think of this punishment?"

Kong Fang looked at everyone present and seemed to be asking for their opinions. All the masters looked at each other, and then they raised their hands together and said, "According to what Mr. Kong said, we have no objections."

After hearing this, Kong Fang showed a smile on his lips, then walked to Yan Zheng, patted his shoulder gently, and said: "Boy Yan, you and I haven't seen each other for nearly thirty years. I really didn't expect that you He is still as upright as he was when he was young, believing that rules are above others and that everything should be respected, which is a good thing.”

"I wonder if you still remember what I said to you when we first met."

Hearing Kong Fang's question, Yan Zheng cupped his hands and replied: "What Mr. said is a sentence in "Mencius Li Lou Chapter 1": 'Without rules, it is impossible to form a square circle'."

"Yes, it is the word "rules" that I am talking about, but things in this world are achieved by rules and failed by rules. Although the word "rules" is important, the word "people's heart" is even more important. If you give up your life for the sake of strict rules, As for human conscience, no matter how strict the rules are, they are just empty talk. Therefore, I hope you can understand that these rules are dead, but people are alive. Don’t give up the most important things in life for the sake of rules. "

After hearing this, Yan Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kong, for your teachings. The students will definitely keep them in mind."

"Thirty years ago, you answered me the same way, but you didn't seem to do it."

Kong Fang shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Ci Song, and said: "Ci boy, I heard Fufeng talk about you. He only started to really come into contact with literature and Taoism three years ago, so you are not proficient in Confucian knowledge, but But he is an extremely rare talent in literature and poetry, and his talent in poetry has made him full of praise. The poems he recited casually are famous throughout the ages. "

"But judging from your performance today, you can speak the words of the saints fluently, which is already very good. At least at your age, most students can recite the words of the saints fluently, but it is really rare to be able to do it like you and easily use it as an argument."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

Ci Song bowed to Kong Fang and breathed a sigh of relief. At least Bai Ye's cultivation was really saved. Although he didn't know what the Heart-Searching Hall was, this punishment was at least much better than what Yan Sheng proposed.

"But I just want to remind you that I hope you don't break through the heavenly gate like your father did back then, and then bring back a female alien from the Chaos Realm."

"Mr. Kong, please rest assured that Ci Song is already engaged and will never do anything stupid. What's more, even if I want to enter the Chaos Realm, I must follow the rules."

When Ci Song answered, he deliberately emphasized the word "rules".

"That's fine."

After Kong Fang finished speaking, he looked at the other pass masters and said, "Please come and handle this matter. In the next month, each pass must strengthen patrols to prevent foreigners from sneaking into Tianguan."

"Yes."
