When I was in disaster, it was this group of great Confucians who were benevolent and righteous again, helping the rich and powerful to buy a person's life with three or five buckets of rice.

If the dignitaries are cannibals and hungry tigers in the mountains, these great Confucian scholars are ghosts who help the hungry tigers cannibalize people.

In front of the angry common people, the great Confucians who used to be able to talk all day were trembling like frightened chickens.

Only Chi Xuanwang was the only one who could barely maintain his demeanor.

Li Huai'an looked at Chi Xuanwang who was gritted his teeth, and said slowly:

"President Chi, you used to talk about monarchs and ministers, superiors and superiors, fathers and sons, and superiors and inferiors."

"Perhaps in your opinion, this is what Confucianism is all about!"

"But I want to say, you are wrong!"

"The so-called Confucians cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, govern one's country, and bring peace to the world."

"Other than that, it's just a means!"

"Only self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace are the goals of a true Confucian!"

When Chi Xuanwang heard this, his expression became serious, and he retorted severely:

"Li Huai'an, what you said about self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace are indeed the Confucian way."

"But if you regard everything other than this as a means, it is too extreme."

"It's already evil!"

"Benevolence and righteousness, etiquette, forgiveness, prudence and independence, moderation, and filial piety, the way of Confucianism is as vast as the ocean, how can the four things be included!"

Hearing Chi Xuanwang's rebuttal, Li Huaian laughed disdainfully.

"Benevolence and righteousness, etiquette, forgiveness, prudence and independence, moderation, filial piety?"

"What is benevolence and righteousness, what is etiquette, what is forgiveness, what is prudence and independence, what is moderation, and what is filial piety?"

"Is there a standard for these things? Not at all!"

"These things are just cosmetics used by the rich and powerful to cover up their ugly and greedy faces!"

"Look at the group of great Confucians behind you. Some of them claim to be benevolent and righteous, and some claim to be polite. Which one of them is not the representative of Confucianism and Taoism in your mouth!"

"But Confucianism is insulted by such people!"

Li Huaian spoke impassionedly, and before Chi Xuanwang could refute, he pointed at one of the great scholars.

"Let's take this great Confucian Zeng Qi who is known as filial piety as an example."

"In order to show his filial piety, when his mother was sick, he listened to the words of the fairy aunt and liar, buried his mother in the soil, and almost suffocated to death!"

"Then he cut off his own flesh and fed it to his father, who made his father vomit."

"The two old people could have lived to be 70 years old, but they were so tortured by him, they died before they were [-] years old!"

"But he earned the reputation of filial piety by serving his parents who were murdered to death for three years!"

"Dean Chi, you are also a parent, if your son is so filial to you, how dare you!"

Li Huaian pointed to the great Confucian Zeng Qi and questioned Chi Xuanwang.

Chi Xuanwang was silent for a while, and he barely made an excuse after a long time.

"Although Zeng Qi is ignorant, at least filial piety is good."

Li Huaian laughed when he heard this, and mocked:

"Foolishness!"

"Dean Chi, if you can admit that Zeng Qi is ignorant, it's a bit of a bottom line."

"Then I'll say one more thing!"

Li Huai'an moved his finger to the left, pointing at a big Confucian with a mean face and said.

"This Chen Yuan Confucian is known as the rule of law and family."

"But his son is not a man of etiquette. After going out to play for three years, when he returned home, he met his wife whom he didn't know, so he stepped forward to molested him."

"After this great Confucianist found out, he didn't ask the truth of the matter, and directly sentenced his daughter-in-law to commit suicide on the grounds of not abiding by women's morals."

"After knowing the cause and effect of the incident, he insisted on forcing his daughter-in-law to plead guilty and committed suicide by jumping into the river in order to maintain his reputation as a Confucianist!"

"As for his daughter-in-law, she was less than 20 years old at that time, and she was in her prime!"

"As for his son, there was no punishment at all. Less than three months after his wife was forced to death, he married another one."

"Chi Xuanwang, is this heart of keeping the etiquette good?"

Chi Xuanwang looked at the great Confucian Chen Yuan behind him in astonishment, and closed his eyes in pain.

He is a Confucian, not a fool.From Li Huai'an's words, it can be discerned that Chen Yuan forced his daughter-in-law to death for fame, not for etiquette.

Such behavior can be described as etiquette cannibalism.

As a great Confucian, he can't say it anyway, which is good!

Li Huai'an looked at the painful Chi Xuanwang, the sarcasm on his face grew stronger, and he pointed at another great Confucian.

"There is also this great Confucian Fang Lin who claims to be the best of the mean."

"But eight years ago, six counties in the north of Dazhou suffered from drought. The local government asked for 800 million shi of food relief, but the Ministry of Households was only willing to give 100 million shi."

"He was moderate and took 300 million stones."

"As a result, half of the people in the six counties in the north starved to death that year, and they were replaced by children. The next year, the barbarians invaded and the Great Zhou was in turmoil!"

"Is this mediocrity good?"

Chi Xuanwang could only remain silent.

Li Huaian pointed to three great Confucian scholars.

There are children from aristocratic families who are mean and ungrateful, but because of the mutual praise among the children of aristocratic families, they have the name of forgiveness.

There is also a person who claims to be Shendu, but turns out to be an old man in his sixties and sixteen wives, and a pear tree crushing a crabapple.

You boasted of benevolence and righteousness, but let your servants starve to death even though the dogs in the family could eat meat.

……

Li Huai'an didn't say a single word, the eyes of the people looking at Chi Xuanwang and other great scholars changed once.

After Li Huai'an stopped, the common people taunted one after another:

"Pooh!"

"Compared to you big scholars, the whores in the brothel are all clean!"

"It's no wonder that our Great Zhou was on the verge of destroying the country before General Li came to power. With a group of great Confucians like you, it's a strange thing that the country can't be destroyed!"

"How dare you come to ask General Li for your crimes, what kind of face do you have!"

"If I were you guys, I would be ashamed to death if I did such a nasty thing, but you are still alive!"

"Why don't you call him Daru!"

"Something like shit!"

"..."

There was a sound of abuse, a sound of ridicule, and a sound of contempt.

If the abuse before was anger; now it is contempt, contempt, and disregard!

In terms of personality, he completely trampled a group of great Confucians under his feet!

From now on, the word Great Confucianism will be shouted and beaten like a mouse crossing the street in the capital.

puff!

The Great Confucian who couldn't bear such pressure spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this situation, Chi Xuanwang's heart collapsed.

He worked hard all his life, in order to promote Confucianism, educate the world, and leave a name in history!

But now, this ambition is completely shattered!

Because, a great Confucian who cannot influence the common people cannot be respected by the powerful either.

Without the support of the rich and powerful, how can he realize the ideal in his heart!

Li Huaian looked at the pale Chi Xuanwang, and proudly said:

"You so-called great Confucians, I don't intend to kill you!"

"But, I will ruin your reputation!"

"From now on, you will never have the opportunity to deceive the people with hypocritical persona!"

When the people heard this, they immediately cheered.

"Yes! General Li is right!"

"From now on, no great Confucian can deceive us again!"

At the same time, the capital is a hundred miles away!

The red army all over the mountains and plains, like army ants, poured over the sky and covered the earth.

They are wearing blood armor, blood knives on their belts, and blood bows on their backs, full of evil spirits!

Wherever it passes, birds will fall, animals will be frightened, ghosts and gods will avoid them!

This army is the blood-clothed army that King Zhennan and Cao Ning were waiting for.

The Bloody Clothes Army was established when the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established. The first generation of Bloody Clothes Hou was once the leader of the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Taizu.

Because of his outstanding meritorious service, he was authorized to add the word "founding the country", hereditary, and guarding the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the official name of Xueyihou should be, Jianguo Xueyihou.

But such honor is not without everyone.

In the northwest guarded by Xue Yihou, the left side is the vast snowfield, and the right side is the boundless desert, both of which are bitter cold places.

These vast snowfields and boundless deserts have become the best teachers for the local barbarians.

Even if they are ignorant and ignorant, they don't even have words.But those who can survive are undoubtedly not elite warriors.

Calculated by the martial arts system of the Central Plains, most of the barbarians have the acquired strength of the third or fourth level, and the strong ones often have the fifth or sixth level.

And the chiefs who can lead such a powerful barbarian tribe are all innate masters.

Every time at the end of autumn and the beginning of spring, when the green and the yellow are in short supply, these barbarian teams composed of innate and acquired warriors will gather together, trying to pass through the blood-clothed guards to plunder the Great Zhou.

Sometimes, there will even be barbarians comparable to master warriors, twisting tens of thousands of barbarians into a single rope.

And the blood-clothed army of the blood-clothed army insisted on carrying such a snowy desert barbarian for hundreds of years!

During this period, none of the barbarian troops were able to penetrate the blood-clothed lines of defense of the past dynasties.

There are rumors that the blood color on the blood-clothed army is comparable to the blood of innate and acquired warriors one after another.

So it can last for a long time, bright and dazzling.

Xue Yihou soon arrived at Zhennan King's army, ready to set up camp.

But as soon as he stopped, Wen Zaidao, a century-old celebrity who had escaped from the dragoon army with Cao Ning, suddenly appeared beside Xue Yihou, urging him to go to Zhennan Wang's camp and join the two armies.

Wen Zaidao looked much older after a chase, and the clothes on his body were no longer pure white, but gray.

Xue Yihou's face remained unchanged, and he agreed.Then the chores of camping were handed over to the lieutenant general, and then he brought Wen Zaidao to Zhennan Wang's camp.

Outside the big tent of the King of Zhennan's camp, Wen Zaidao and Cao Ning, the two brothers and sisters, looked at each other excitedly, with ambition in their eyes.

The two of them had communicated with each other through the messengers of Zhennan King and Xueyihou before, and they wanted to promote the alliance of the two armies, break through the capital, bloodbath the dragon cavalry army, and capture Li Huaian.

He has avenged the humiliation of chasing and killing!

So, after a brief meeting with each other, Wen Zaidao took the lead and talked freely:

"Today, King Zhennan and Xueyihou join forces, with an army of one hundred thousand."

"However, Li Huai'an is acting perversely in the capital. I heard that he humiliated Chi Xuanwang, the dean of the Great Zhou Academy, in public a few days ago."

"The right time, place and people are all on our side."
