"Does Young Master have a different opinion of what we said?”
The Confucian scholar who had been impatient to speak earlier impatiently said this.
In his opinion, Zijin was giving him a chance to make a name for himself.
If he could successfully argue with the young master of the Great Qin Empire in Xianyang City, and this young master was someone who had angrily rebuked Fu Su and spat out blood at Chunyu Yue in the Imperial Court, then he would be able to defeat the Great Qin Empire.
Then, in the future, he would truly be known by the world, and his status among the scholarly disciples would greatly increase.
More importantly, he was doing this to avenge Professor Chunyu Yue.
When that time came, Fu Su and Professor Chunyu Yue would definitely put him in an important position.
The scholar began to daydream.
However, at this moment, a disdainful sneer suddenly sounded.
"You're right, but there's a prerequisite.”
Zijin's words made the person from earlier curious." What premise?"”
"This is a Confucian, not a rotten one. There is a huge difference between a rotten Confucian and a true Confucian.”
Li Si and the others almost clapped when they heard the word " pedantic ".
In their opinion, the Confucian scholars of today were indeed too pedantic. They were all obsessed with the so-called "Rites of Zhou" and the so-called "enfeoffment system". They simply did not change.
"You…"
The Confucian scholar was instantly embarrassed by Zi Jin's words.
He even felt that this " pedantic scholar " was describing him, which made him even angrier. After all, once the rumor that he was a pedantic scholar spread, it would greatly damage his reputation.
"You're not convinced?"
Zijin said lightly.
"First of all, your words have changed the concept. I admit that at least some of the words of your Supreme Saint were indeed not bad. However, since it has developed to this point, hehe, his disciples are unworthy.”
"I was talking about whether or not you should be killed, but you directly equated you with Confucians or Confucians.”
A pedantic scholar is not a scholar?
As soon as he said this, many onlookers were slightly stunned. They even felt that this could be compared to a white horse that was not a horse.
Wang Jian's eyes were glowing at this moment. His originally somewhat worried expression had dissipated a little.
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting. It seems that everyone has underestimated this young master from the mountains.”
Wang Jian stroked his beard.
"As long as this pedantic scholar's point of view is firmly established, even if His Majesty wants to kill this scholar in the future, he won't have to be too afraid.”
When Wang Jian spoke with a smile, Zijin's voice was also heard.
"In Xianyang, most of the Confucian scholars are rotten. In other words, the Confucian scholars I killed earlier and all of you who will be killed later are not Confucians.”
"They're just a bunch of filthy people who only know how to fight at the gates of the scholarly faction, but do things like swearing on the streets. They only know how to talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but do despicable things.”
Zi Jin's words were extremely sharp. They were like steel thorns that continuously pierced into the hearts of these Confucian scholars.
"You…are simply spouting nonsense. Young Master Zijin, you should be reasonable when debating, not spouting nonsense.”
The man looked at Zijin angrily.
Zijin fulfilled his request.
"Alright, then I'll use the words of your Supreme Saint to prove that you're not Confucians.”
" The Master said: Disciples should be filial when they enter the family, younger brothers when they leave the family. They should be cautious and trustworthy, love the masses and be close to benevolence. If they have the strength to do so, they should learn literature. These words are very simple. It means that regardless of whether they are at home or outside, they should be filial to their parents and respect their elder brothers.”
" Be cautious and honest in your words and deeds, care for the people extensively, and be close to benevolent people. After doing this, if you have the time and energy, you can use it to study literature and knowledge.”
"Am I wrong?"
The scholar shook his head.
"In that case, do you respect your parents and respect your brothers? After you came to Xianyang City, did you miss your parents?”
"Moreover, being cautious and trusting is even more of a joke to you.”
"Have you been careful with your words and actions? "When you were on the streets and in the Academy, berating my Imperial Father and Great Qin, did you ever think about being cautious? No, I don't think so. All of you are just thinking about it for a moment.”
"Therefore, you are not Confucians."
Zijin's words made many Confucian scholars 'expressions turn ugly.
"We have thought about it carefully, so…"
"I thought about it carefully, so I insulted my father as a tyrant? "How laughable! I can't be bothered to continue talking nonsense with you about Great Qin's actions. I've already told that pedantic scholar Chunyu Yue, so you should know.”
"If you're not convinced, come and argue at any time."
"As for the point of loving the masses and being close to benevolence, that's even more nonsense. Do you have anyone close to benevolence?”
As soon as these words left his mouth, the Confucian scholars immediately perked up. They felt that they had finally grasped the opportunity in Zi Jin's words.
