Many of the pre-Qin Confucians 'ideas had been tampered with.

The first person who tampered with Confucianism was Han Fei, who studied Confucianism and became a Legalist!

Han Fei's Legalism was a combination of law, technique, and power, in which the king needed to control the power of life and death. Therefore, Han Fei changed Confucius 'saying that the monarch was the monarch, the minister was the minister, and the minister could not offend the monarch.

Later on, it evolved into the situation where the monarch wanted the subject to die, and the subject had to die. The father wanted the son to die, and the son had to die.

However, what Confucius actually meant was to let everyone find their own position, do their part well, and plan their politics in their position.

The Confucianists spoke of 'loyalty to the monarch', which was to do one's duty as a subject, which included being loyal to the ruler. However, the ruler also had to do his duty as a ruler.

Otherwise, it would be like Mencius's saying," If the monarch treats his subjects like dirt, then the subjects will treat the monarch like an enemy."

Similarly, there was the opening of the Analects of Confucius: Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman to not be angry when others don't know?”

Zhu Xi liked to annotate the classics randomly, so he translated it as: It would be fun to review frequently after studying…

Happy my ass!

Confucius 'original intention was that the knowledge he had learned could be applied at the right time to make people happy.

Even if he couldn't put it into practice, it was still very happy to have like-minded friends to discuss it with.

Taking a step back, I don't have like-minded friends, and they don't know my knowledge. But I'm not angry. I'm a gentleman.

……

Although Gao Jing had helped this group of Vietnamese refugees, wasn't he also taking this opportunity to put it into practice?

It was really satisfying to see some results.

After the conversation, Yan Lingji stayed in the fort. It was not until the next day that she rushed to Gao Jing and blurted out,"What makes you think that Tian Ze would kill them?”

Gao Jing was speechless.

Yan Lingji said angrily," I was confused by you yesterday. The premise of your words was that Tian Ze would let me kill them. But why would Tian Ze kill his own people?"”

"…You only just reacted?"”

“……”

Yan Lingji suddenly felt that she was really a little stupid. She shook her head and said,""No, that's not what I wanted to ask…Outsiders only know that Tian Ze is dead. How do you know that Tian Ze is still alive?

Even I only just learned of this news and left Bai Yue, planning to go to Korea.”

"How are you going to Korea?" Gao Jing asked curiously. There are many Yue survivors in Chu, you can easily pass through them, but Korea…do you know the way?”

"I heard that there's a Korean businessman called Jade Tiger who has been searching for beautiful women everywhere…Am I beautiful?" Yan Lingji said proudly.”

Gao Jing nodded sincerely and said,"Beautiful!"

She was so beautiful that she was locked in a water tank!

Yan Lingji could feel Gao Jing's sincerity. His eyes were clear and his thoughts were pure. She knew that this was a sincere compliment. She couldn't help but feel happy." I plan to walk right into the trap and ask the Jade Tiger to send someone to take me to Korea. The Unparalleled Ghost will secretly follow behind me. At that time, he might lock me up with Master Tianze…"

"You're thinking too much."

Gao Jing was speechless." Then why did you take a detour here?" he asked.”

"I heard that someone helped the Yue build a city, so I came to take a look…" Yan Lingji said.

Gao Jing pointed around.”

Yan Lingji didn't say anything. She just stared at Gao Jing with some resentment in her eyes.

Gao Jing thought for a moment and then realized that even if the Yue King Gou Jian defeated the Wu Kingdom and brought the Yue Kingdom to its glory, the Yue Kingdom at that time was still a tribal system.

Not to mention that after the decline of the State of Yue, it became the "Hundred Yue" and went their own way. In many places, a tribe was a country...

To the people of the Bai Yue, this fort was a city!

A country kid was still inexperienced.

Gao Jing looked at Yan Lingji with pity and said," Then you can go around and take a look. In the future, you can learn how to build after you help the Bai Yue recover…"

Yan Lingji looked at Gao Jing in surprise and said," Aren't you afraid that I'll learn it?"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid." Gao Jing seemed to be coaxing a child.

"I'll go then. Don't regret it after you learn it," Yan Lingji said happily.

After saying that, she ran away excitedly.

As for his original purpose…he had long forgotten about it.

This Fire Girl…didn't seem too smart.

……

Mi Chun was a fatty.

The peripheral royal families did not need to go to the battlefield or participate in political affairs. It would be strange if they were not fat.

Grabbing a handful of jade salt from the jar, Mi Chun's eyes were intoxicated as she said,""How can such a good thing be in the hands of those lowlifes? Zhuoli, help me get this technique."”

Zhuo Li stood respectfully at the side and said," Ruler, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"What's wrong?" Mi Chun asked.”

"Ruler, have you ever heard of this method of making salt in the Yue?”

"Indeed, I've never heard of it…What do you mean?" Mi Chun was stunned.”

Zhuo Li was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he asked again,"Ruler, do you know who this scholar Gao Jing is?”

"Who is it?"

"Three years ago, there was a child who wanted to be a disciple of the Little Saint Manor. However, he was humiliated by the guards because of his lowly status…"

Mi Chun suddenly understood." I know about this. In the end, this child fought with the Confucians and rendered them speechless. He then stumped the Sect Leader with the Three Questions and provoked Xun Zi. In the end, he still couldn't do anything to him. In the end, Xun Zi accepted a disciple on behalf of his master…Are you saying that Gao Jing is that child?”

Zhuo Li nodded and said," Be it in terms of speech, behavior, knowledge exchange, or age, they all match. I think it's him."”

"Then the method of making jade salt…" Mi Chun pondered.

Zhuo Li nodded and said,"Since Baiyue doesn't have it, it can only be created by Gao Jing."”

" What do you think?" Mi Chun asked unhappily." Gao Jing is the Young Uncle-Master of the scholarly faction. Why did he give such an important technology to a bunch of lowlifes?"

"The Confucians have always regarded themselves as benevolent and righteous," said Zhuo Li with a smile.”

Mi Chun fumbled with the jade salt in the jar and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, she said,""Since Gao Jing said that the jade salt was made by those lowlifes, then I just need to ask them for it…

Didn't you give those lowlifes 500 sets of weapons and armor? I'll send out the army in the name of raiding the bandits. Facing the army, can Gao Jing go back on his word and say that this method was his?”

"This…"

"I've made up my mind!" Mi Chun stood up abruptly and said.”
