Chapter 39-Fighting Xun Zi!
A gust of wind blew past, causing Han Xu's white robe to flutter.
His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.
He sat beside the desk, his face calm and indifferent.
If Ying Zheng had not witnessed the entire process of Han Xu's scolding of the Confucians with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this calm and composed young Imperial Advisor before him could actually be so sharp!
It was said that the Confucians could not be provoked.
Because the Confucians would use the brush as a knife to engrave you in a book and nail you to the pillar of shame that they had written with the brush.
No matter how hard your fists are, you can't do anything!
Because even if you put a knife to their necks, they would say that they had the pride of scholars and would not yield!
Therefore, Ying Zheng hated these scholars to the core, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Even if he killed them, he would still feel extremely depressed.
But…it was precisely this kind of leader of the scholarly faction, this kind of person who had rendered Ying Zheng, the one emperor in history, helpless.
However, his foundation was shaken by the Imperial Advisor's three questions.
This question actually caused the leader of the scholarly faction to vomit blood and retreat, as if he was powerless to face these three questions.
In other words, the person who was questioned by Han Xu was the leader of the scholarly faction. If it was someone else from the scholarly faction, their foundation would have been damaged and they would have died immediately!
Even the leader of the scholarly faction was not qualified to deal with the Imperial Advisor!
Ying Zheng could not help but sigh in his heart.
The state preceptor was truly a monster.
In this world, the only person who could make the eloquent leader of the scholarly faction vomit blood was the Imperial Advisor!
As for the head of the scholarly faction, Fu Sheng, his face was pale and his hands were trembling.
He opened his mouth many times, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back.
As Han Xu said, he was not qualified to answer.
From the moment he spat out blood and retreated, he had already lost the right to be equal to Han Xu.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling in his heart.""When I return, I will inform teacher of the state preceptor's question. I don't know if teacher is willing to come.”
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll invite him personally."”
As he spoke, Han Xu shouted into the air,"Scholar Xun Sheng, come to Xianyang for a while!”
His voice was like thunder as he flew from the sky above Xianyang to the south!
Wherever the sound passed by, it was like thunder exploding, and all living beings could hear it clearly.
"What's that sound?"
"So, so scary!"
"It's as if the heavens are shouting!"
"Sage Xun of the scholarly faction, are you looking for the Half-Sage Xun Zi of the scholarly faction?”
"Coming to Xianyang for a while…Could it be that the Imperial Advisor is looking for the Half-Saint Xun Zi?”
"How terrifying is the state preceptor's strength? He can actually make sound transmit like this!”
The Hundred Schools of Thought, the survivors of the Six Nations, and Great Qin's ordinary citizens all looked up at the sky in shock.
However, when the sound passed by, only sound waves were left in the air, and no trace of it could be found.
At this moment, in the Holy Land of the scholarly faction.
The scholarly scholar who was reading suddenly felt as if his eardrums were about to explode. A loud sound suddenly descended upon the Holy Land of the scholarly faction.
"Scholar Xun Sheng, come to Xianyang for a while!”
This voice rumbled non-stop, as if it was directly ringing in their souls. Even if they covered their ears, they could still hear it clearly.
This made many scholars bleed from their ears.
Weng!
At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air.
He frowned slightly and waved his hand. The sound waves slowly dissipated like ripples.
Xun Zi looked in the direction of Xianyang and said after a moment of silence,""Protect the Holy Land well."
With that, he disappeared.
…………
Xianyang City, Tianji Pavilion.
Han Xu suddenly laughed and said,"Xun Sheng, I apologize for coming to welcome you.”
Upon hearing this, a bright light flashed across Ying Zheng's tiger-like eyes.
The pale-faced Fu Sheng looked up into the sky.
A clear light flashed in the sky, and the half-saint Xun Zi appeared.
Xun Zi landed on the Star Cluster Platform. He first cast a glance at the Great Qin Imperial Advisor, who had risen to fame, and then turned to look at Ying Zheng.
He cupped his hands slightly and said,"Your Majesty."”
His tone was calm. As a Half-Saint, he had the right to not bow to the emperor.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly. Although he did not like the Confucians, he still had to give them some face when facing a Half-Saint.
"Teacher, you're here."
Fu Sheng was surprised. He didn't expect Xun Zi, who hadn't stepped out of the Holy Land of Confucianism for decades, to really come because of the Imperial Preceptor's words.
Did his teacher sense the danger of the scholarly faction?
Or was it that…the state preceptor's strength was so terrifying that his teacher had no choice but to travel thousands of miles to come here?
No matter which one it was, it meant that his teacher valued this mysterious Great Qin Imperial Advisor very much!
Otherwise, his teacher would never have stepped out of the Holy Land of Confucianism!
He took a deep breath and wanted to tell Xun Zi about what had just happened so that he could be prepared.
However, before he could speak, Xun Zi waved his hand and said,""I already know what happened.”
After he finished speaking, he came to Han Xu and sat down opposite him.
He took a deep look at Han Xu, and his expression became even more solemn.
He actually felt a sense of danger from Han Xu that he had not felt for a long time.
This meant that…Han Xu's strength was definitely not lower than his!
A 20-year-old Half-Saint expert…
Even someone as calm as Xun Zi couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The Great Qin Imperial Advisor in front of him was simply a monster among monsters!
An unprecedented monster!
No wonder his disciple's foundation was shaken by the question. The difference between the two of them was too great!
His heart was solemn, but his tone was calm."State Preceptor, with my status, I should be qualified, right?”
As soon as it came up, it was like a needle against a wheat!
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.
To be able to make Xun Zi speak in such a tit-for-tat manner, it could be seen that the Imperial Tutor's three questions could really shake the foundation of the scholarly faction.
Han Xu was still very calm in the face of Xun Zi's question.
He looked at the old man with white hair and beard and smiled. Xun Zi wants to answer my three questions?"
Xun Zi said," The Imperial Preceptor's three questions seem very reasonable, but in reality, they are biased. They are deliberately magnifying a certain possibility in the future to attack and annihilate our scholarly faction.”
"Thus, this question itself is problematic. Why should our scholarly faction answer it?”
Xun Zi said righteously.
However, Ying Zheng felt that it was more like he could not answer it, so he deliberately quibbled and changed the topic.
Otherwise, with his understanding of the scholarly faction…
At this moment, Xun Zi should have been spitting saliva all over the table and reprimanding Han Xu for spouting nonsense.
Why would he directly say,"Why do I need to answer?"
" Xun Sheng," Ying Zheng picked up his teacup and said blandly," you're avoiding the question and finding excuses. Don't you feel ashamed?”
Fu Sheng's face was slightly red.
He also noticed that it was difficult for his teacher to refute him directly.
Therefore, he simply avoided answering.
However, as a Half-Saint who had lived for almost a hundred years, Xun Zi had seen all kinds of awkward situations. His face was not affected at all.
"What do you think, State Preceptor?" he asked, looking at Han Xu.”
" Xun Sheng said that I deliberately magnified a certain possibility in the future," Han Xu laughed." Then I want to ask Xun Sheng, how do you know that the possibility I mentioned is not the real future?"”
"If it really happened to be the future, would Xun Sheng still dare to boast here?”
Han Xu was not afraid of Xun Zi quibbling. He directly used Xun Zi's words to refute Xun Zi.
Xun Zi said lightly," After reading a book a hundred times, one will naturally see the meaning behind it. With more knowledge, one will naturally not be wrong.”
"Although the Imperial Preceptor is talented, he is still young. In this aspect, he is still inferior.”
When Han Xu heard this, he was not annoyed.
"In that case, do you dare to compete with me, Xun Sheng?" he asked with a smile.”
"Compete in what?" Xun Zi asked.
"Let's compare our judgment of people."”
"Xun Sheng said that you are well-read and knowledgeable, so he is not wrong. He said that I am young and inexperienced, so I am not as good as you!”
"Then why don't we have a competition? I'll pick a random person and we'll give him a task. Xun Sheng and I will make our own judgments and see if he can complete it.”
Xun Zi pondered for a moment. He was not afraid of Han Xu playing tricks.
With his ability, he could easily see through it.
Moreover, he also wanted Han Xu to cheat.
In that case, he could speak more righteously.
Furthermore, Xun Zi was very confident in himself. His disciples were all over the world. He could see clearly a person's ability and character at a glance.
Since that was the case, there was no need to worry.
He looked at Han Xu and asked,"How about winning or losing?"”
Han Xu said lightly," If you win, I'll admit that I was wrong. It's my fault for not having good foresight and asking biased questions. I'll personally apologize to Fu Sheng."”
"But if you lose…"
"I want to enter the Analects of Confucius and see Confucius." Han Xu looked at Xun Zi and said in a clear voice.”
