"His Majesty wishes to use the ritual of the Great Qin Dynasty to worship Mount Tai.”
"And Young Master Yuren is here to ask me to write to the world to clear the name of Your Majesty?”
After hearing Ying Yuren's request, Kong Zhe looked at Ying Yuren coldly.
Ying Yuren cupped his hands and bowed.
"I understand. Confucius is the model of all Confucian scholars in the world.”
"If Kong Da Ru is willing to help, the Confucian scholars of the world will definitely respond.”
"Great Qin will remember this friendship.”
Kong Zhe shouted angrily.
"Ridiculous!"
"Not obeying the ancient rites is a great blasphemy against the Zhou rites!”
"Your Majesty has done such a foolish thing, and Young Master Yuren still wants me to wave the flag and cheer for him?”
"I will never help a tyrant do such a thing!”
Ran Zhongkang also shook his head.
"Young Master Yuren, you are also a disciple of the scholarly faction, how can you say such words?”
"You should have remonstrated with His Majesty instead of asking Kong Da Ru to come forward and clear His Majesty's name!”
Ying Yuren frowned slightly, but he still explained in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty's pilgrimage to Mount Tai is a show of respect for Confucianism and the rites of Zhou.”
"Half a year ago, His Majesty even recruited all the great Confucians in the world to revise the method of worship.”
"However, Sun Yang and the other great Confucians spent half a year and still couldn't come up with a constitution.”
"Your Majesty can only follow the Great Qin's ritual and conduct the Pilgrimage Ceremony.”
"I hope the two great scholars can understand."
Kong Zhe waved his sleeves, very dissatisfied with Ying Yuren's words.
"If we can't find the complete method of the Fengshan ceremony, it proves that Your Majesty's virtue and achievements are not enough to hold the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai.”
"What Your Majesty wants to do is to stop the ritual and not find another one.”
At this moment, Kong Zhe was like a stone in a latrine pit.
Stinky and hard!
Ying Yuren shook his head helplessly.
"Kong Da Ru, why bother?"
"The fundamental pursuit of Confucianism is not Zhou Li, but a well-off society and the world for all.”
"Let the people of the world live a good life, be honest and friendly, and help each other.”
"Now that Great Qin has unified the world, the scholarly faction should gradually realize this goal.”
"It's not that you're stubbornly clinging to the Zhou Rites!”
Ran Zhongkang laughed and shook his head.
"Hahaha ~"
"Why do you have to cling to the Zhou Rites?"
"You're Chunyu Yue's disciple, right?"
"How can you say such absurd words!”
Kong Zhe berated coldly with a gloomy face.
"What is a well-off society?"
"The world is divided into fiefs, and they are bound by layers of etiquette.”
"A small society is formed within the fief. Only when everyone knows each other can we be kind and benevolent.”
"What is the Great Unity of the World?"
"Choose the virtuous and appoint the capable, trust and cultivate harmony, and the king will give way to the virtuous and not his children.”
"Only then can you all be wise, widowers, widows, and loners have a place to support themselves.”
Kong Zhe sneered.
"Enfeoffment and abdication, what can Great Qin do?”
"The current Emperor is the biggest obstacle to the Confucian school's ambitions!”
Ying Yuren's face sank.
Long before he set off, Ying Yuren knew that the pursuit of the current Confucianists and the Confucianists after Dong Zhongshu were worlds apart.
But Ying Yuren didn't expect that the pursuit of the Confucians was still so childish and persistent!
The enfeoffment system still had a chance of being realized.
However, it was the source of national unrest.
As for abdication?
This was a good idea, but it was not suitable for this era!
Ying Yuren's expression was solemn as he looked straight at Kong Zhe.
"Great scholar, times have changed!"
"The Great Zhou is already dead!"
"The society that the Confucians wanted to restore the most has ended, and the Great Zhou that the Confucians respected the most has perished.”
"Doesn't this prove that the Rites of Zhou are no longer suitable for today's world?”
Kong Zhe was so angry that he slammed the table and berated angrily.
"How dare you!"
"To spout such nonsense, you are unworthy of being a disciple of the scholarly faction!”
Ying Yuren suppressed the displeasure in his heart and persuaded him seriously.
"The Confucians of the past were the most prominent scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period.”
"The current Confucian school is like a tiny duckweed.”
"The Rites of Zhou are dead. If the Confucians cling to the Rites of Zhou, they won't be far from extinction.”
"Now that Great Qin is the most powerful, even if it's for the survival of the scholarly faction, the scholarly faction should listen to Great Qin's orders.”
"We shouldn't have gone against His Majesty the first time we came into contact with Great Qin!”
Kong Zhe flatly refused.
"Ying Yuren, you have no backbone of a scholarly gentleman.”
"So what if Great Qin is in power?"
"So what if my scholarly faction perishes?”
"A gentleman would rather break than bend!"
"Even if my scholarly faction perishes, the disciples of the scholarly faction will defend the Rites of Zhou with their lives!”
Ying Yuren frowned and asked.
"Even if His Majesty gives the order?"
Kong Zhe sneered and shook his head.
"Mencius said: If the monarch views his subjects as his own hands and feet, then his subjects will view the monarch as his confidant. If the monarch views his subjects as dirt, then his subjects will view the monarch as their enemy.”
"Now that His Majesty views our scholarly faction's pursuits as dirt, our scholarly faction will naturally view His Majesty as an enemy!”
"It's fine if he doesn't take revenge, but why would he follow His Majesty's orders and do something against his will?”
Ying Yuren sighed helplessly.
"It seems that logic doesn't work.”
Ying Yuren really hoped to convince people with reason.
This way, he would be able to take over the power and manpower of the scholarly faction in a more comprehensive manner.
This was also the reason why Ying Yuren was so stubborn and paid a visit according to the requirements of the [Rites].
But Kong Zhe used his actions to tell Ying Yuren.
Impossible!
The fundamental pursuit and stance of both sides were completely opposite. How could they rely on reason to solve the problem?
"There's no room for discussion about this matter!" Kong Zhe said decisively.”
"Instead of coming here to beg me, why don't you return to Mount Tai and remonstrate with Your Majesty?”
Ran Zhongkang also frowned and shook his head.
"Confucius said: If we have different paths, we will not work together!”
"Young Master Yuren, you should return quickly.”
"This humble residence of mine cannot accommodate young master.”
Ying Yuren slowly got up and stretched his neck and wrists.
"What a pity."
"Since we can't agree on the reason,"
"Then let's talk about physics!"
