Saint of the Confucian way

Shengyuan continent, Kong City, Daofeng mountain, holy courtyard.

In the main hall of the selective English Academy, nine great Confucians and many great scholars were present. As usual, they continued to discuss the candidate for the first of the four talents.

Before, every undergraduate came, but now there are only 19 undergraduate students, less than half, because many undergraduate students are tired of lengthy disputes.

The sanctuary has never been an efficient place, but the assessment of the four talents has definitely broken through the lower limit of the sanctuary.

In the early morning, as usual, all the great scholars or university scholars said their own things. Some people constantly praised Lei chongmo and almost boasted Lei chongmo as a virtuous person close to Yi Zhishi or Fang Yun. Others constantly attacked Lei chongmo and repeatedly exposed its roots. If Lei chongmo was here, it would have been blown up by anger before going to the war world.

There are also some people who want to be peacemakers and hope that both sides will take a step back, but the two sides do not give in. One side must appoint Lei chongmo as the first of the four talents, and the other side would rather choose the least famous bachelor than Lei chongmo.

In the afternoon, the two sides seemed to have a real fire and began to argue.

Yunluo, the elder of the hall of rites, coughed and everyone shut up immediately. Yunluo is the most conservative person in the selective English court. He seldom speaks, but as the elder of the hall of rites with the highest status, everyone must give enough respect whenever he speaks.

In the selection of the four talents, the temple's opinion is the most important. If the temple fails, even the pressure of Dongsheng is useless.

"Four talents, the most important talent, do you have any objection?" Yunluo said.

The crowd nodded softly, but no one objected.

"However, the first of the four talents should attach importance to virtue. They all say that they have both virtue and talent, but how many people say that they have both talent and virtue? There are great talents in Fengcheng, the demon emperor and all ethnic groups in all circles, but there are not many different ethnic groups with 'virtue'."

When Yunluo finished, the great scholar Lei Tingzhen hurriedly said, "Mr. Yun is too extreme to take the demon man's rebellious species as an example. Since he is the first of the four talents, he must be the first talent. After all, we don't choose the 'four virtuous children'. In terms of talent, the first of the four is Lei chongmo."

Yunluo raised his eyelids, glanced at Lei Tingzhen and said, "Oh, brother Tingzhen, is this admitting that Lei chongmo has no virtue?"

Some people laughed to themselves. Although Yunluo was an honest man, he also dug a trap. Leiting was so eager that he jumped in when he was negligent.

Lei Ting really knew that he had been caught in the language trap, but his face remained unchanged. He replied: "I haven't finished speaking. Even if I choose the first of the four talents and virtues, Lei chongmo can still be competent. Virtue can be divided into great virtue and small virtue. How can Mr. Yun know."

"Please give me your advice, brother Tingzhen." Yunluo is a gentleman with an open mind.

"What is a small virtue?" the book of changes says that "a gentleman enters virtue and studies". This virtue is called "Virtue". You and I should have virtue in our daily speech, behavior and dealing with others, otherwise we will be regarded as having no virtue. This virtue is personal virtue, which is small virtue. Those who value small virtue are private gentlemen. "

"What is great virtue? The historical records records that" engrave stones to eulogize Qin virtue ". What virtue did Qin have? Have you ever been friendly to others? Have you ever spoken softly? Have you ever kept etiquette step by step? None of them. Qin's virtue, in the same track, in the same book, in the same wheel, measures and saves all people from fire and water. This is not the gain of a gentleman. It is the kindness of the country and the great virtue of the human race. Those with great virtue are the gentlemen of the public."

"I think that even if a person's virtue is flawed, he is still a modest gentleman and a person with virtue. Not to mention Lei chongmo's private virtue, but only his great virtue. He married the dragon family and forged Jiaolong Wentai. All of them are meritorious to the people. Looking at the other three talented sons, what great virtue can be compared with Lei chongmo?"

Leitingzhen finished, and many people were silent.

Suddenly, Yunluo lowered his head and seemed to reach out to touch the official seal. His face changed slightly.

All the people present were great Confucians or great scholars. They couldn't hide all the details from them. Everyone was very curious about what could change the great Confucianist Yunluo.

Later, many people found that Zhang cangxiang, a great scholar of medicine, suddenly lowered his head and seemed to be reading a biography.

After a few breaths, Zhang cangxiang suddenly sighed and said, "I agree that Lei chongmo is the first of the four talents."

The crowd was shocked. Zhang cangxiang highly praised Fang Yun, and the Lei family was hostile to Fang Yun, so he always opposed Lei chongmo as the first of the four talents.

Liu bailuo, a scholar from Jingguo, couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zang Xiang, can you tell me why?"

Zhang cangxiang flashed an angry look in his eyes, looked at Lei Tingzhen, then sighed and said, "I owed my old friend a great favor back then. Today, the son of my old friend sent a letter to me, and I had to repay it."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Lei Tingzhen. Lei Tingzhen didn't change his face and was at ease.

"The Lei family is a bunch of rats, a pack of flies and dogs, cheap and obscene!" Liu bailuo, over 80, couldn't help scolding.

Lei Tingzhen didn't even look at Liu bailuo and said, "someone insulted the virtual Saint family in public. I think he has no talent and virtue and should be expelled from the English court. Who opposes?"

Strangely, all the great scholars did not object. They found that not only Zhang cangxiang and Yunluo had read the biography, but also he Qionghai, the elder of the war hall cabinet, was reading the biography.

No one objected. A powerful force came and expelled Liu bailuo from the English court.

Everyone present has understood that the Lei family has been operating secretly these days. They have found the weaknesses of Yunluo, Zhang cangxiang and he Qionghai and used targeted means.

Many great scholars are extremely angry, but dare not speak up. Now there is no victory or defeat. If they are impulsive like Liu bailuo, it will be a waste of money for the Lei family. It's better to wait first. If they can't return to the sky in the end, they will scold the Lei family to vent their anger.

After a few breaths, Lei Tingzhen looked at he Qionghai and said with a smile, "brother he, what do you think about Lei chongmo being elected the first of the four talents?"

He Qionghai was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Some old friends may know that when I was young, I indulged for several years because of a setback and became infamous. Later, I was instructed by his majesty Nan Sheng. I repented and the prodigal son turned back. Today, the man I mistakenly injured sent me a letter. I have thought for a long time, and I will repay my mistakes today. However, Lei chongmo is not a good man. If he is elected the first of the four talents, I will exile myself for two years Jieshan will never return to Shengyuan. "

Many great scholars looked sad and didn't blame Zhang cangxiang and he Qionghai for turning against each other, because everyone made mistakes and owed others human favor. As long as they didn't commit great evils, as long as they reformed, even if they didn't praise them, they had no reason to accuse them. Instead, they should be admired for their crisp and clear words.

He Qionghai, in particular, is a great scholar of the war hall. He has a violent temper. He has killed many demons and barbarians. He has been admitted to the war hall at the age of over 100 and enjoys the position of senior cabinet. In fact, he is an old-age pension and a reward from the holy courtyard. However, he is such a person, but he is forced out of the Shengyuan continent by the Lei family. He has to go to the two boundary mountains to fight to death at the age of over 100.
