Chapter 546 Extra Chapter: If the Han Dynasty Had Developed Normally to Later Times (Forum Style) 3

[The Grudges and Feuds of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Han Dynasty!]

OP: As the title says! No fighting, just gossip! Ever since the museum released the young prince's diary, everyone's been eager to organize their thoughts and create a new thread, capitalizing on the hype. Today, I'll start a thread about the feuds and gossip among the various schools of thought during the Han Dynasty. Whether it's internal or external, let's all share and have a good chat!

1L: Front row! Sunflower seeds and peanuts are ready, please start sharing!

2L (Original Poster): As the original poster, I'll start by throwing out some gossip about Legalism! It's well known that Li Si and Han Fei, these two Legalist brothers, had a strained relationship, with Han Fei being overshadowed by Li Si.

Then, when the young prince was being selected as his tutor, he asked Li Si why Han Fei hadn't come.

Shrimp and pork heart, it's true!

However, Li Si's reply was very appropriate. He gave a comparative analysis of external and internal methods, arguing that Han Fei was not as effective as him.

Then the young prince commented scathingly: "I get it, you love going to work, he doesn't."

3L: Hehehe, this must be gossip about the little prince, right? Comedian confirmed!

4L: Then let me share some gossip about military strategists and our Emperor Pig. Let me organize it first.

5L: Details

6L: The smell of melon, here I come!

7L: Following 4L, here's what happened. As everyone knows, due to the practicality of Legalism, the young prince's tutor eventually changed from Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism to Confucianism, Military Strategy, and Mohism.

The military strategists treated the young prince with utmost kindness and affection, spoiling him rotten. Our Qubing also criticized Confucius's "double standards" many times.

So, how good was the military strategist to the young prince? Before the prince had even mastered the basic stance, a whole set of miniature weapons was specially made for him, including knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—not only were they exquisite, but their lethality was also just as impressive.

Not only the young prince likes it, but our little emperor also likes it.

If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty the Pig King is the epitome of shamelessness in the Liu family, he wouldn't have had the nerve to trick his son into playing with the little weapons. Then Han Xin discovered that the little prince's weapons were disappearing one by one every day, and when he found out that His Majesty had taken them, he was speechless.

I deliberately complained about His Majesty the Pig at the parents' meeting, telling him to ask the military for what he wanted, and not to take the little prince's things!

His Majesty the Pig not only didn't see anything wrong with it, but also came up with all sorts of outlandish weapon requests. The arsenal of Emperor Wu, later exhibited in museums, is a testament to the wisdom of military strategists!

8L: Seriously, Emperor Wu's armory takes up an entire exhibition hall. Every time I go there, I'm amazed and curious about how Emperor Wu managed to persuade the military strategists to create it, even though he wasn't as favored as the young crown prince (￢_￢).

9L: It's all thanks to his thick skin^_^ After all, he's the kind of guy who can say "this son is like his father"!

10L: If I hadn't seen the little prince's portrait, I would have believed the pig's nonsense.

11L: The pig isn't actually bad-looking, it's just that the little prince is too good-looking, he's practically a collection of the essence of heaven and earth.

12L: I've gone off-topic, friends. Speaking of parent-teacher meetings, let me share some insider information. Confucian scholars who have read Zhang Liang's "Teaching Records" should all know this, right?

13L: Is the part where he proves he wasn't a teacher who physically punished students?

14L: No, it was the first day of his enlightenment. People kept disturbing him, and His Majesty the Pig kept trying to stay and listen in. As a result, Zhang Liang got angry and sent Emperor Gaozu to teach his grandson a lesson in his dream.

15L: Isn't this just unofficial history? You actually believe things like dreaming?

16L: ? How old are you upstairs? Haven't you participated in the Hundred Schools Assessment yet? Look at the abilities of the Hundred Schools, still calling it unofficial history? Do you know that experts nowadays say that the abilities of the Hundred Schools are less than one-tenth of what they were a thousand years ago? Look at the illusion techniques of the Yin-Yang School, the deduction techniques of the Daoist School, the swordsmanship of the Confucian School, and the mechanical arts of the Mohist School. Can you still call it unofficial history?

17L: Don't let underage kids be brainwashed! Developing science is science, but that doesn't mean that the abilities of various schools of thought are fake. It just means that the current level of scientific development is not enough to explain the abilities of various schools of thought!

18L: I'm not questioning the abilities of the Hundred Schools, but their abilities aren't exactly beyond imagination, and entering a dream isn't the same thing.

19L: Confirmed. You're definitely not old enough to take the "Hundred Schools of Thought Assessment" yet; you're too inexperienced. But have you been to the Han Dynasty Museum?

20L: What's wrong with the Han Dynasty Museum?

21L: ? You don't know, the mastermind behind the Great Han Museum is the Great Han consciousness—Xiao Ji!

22L: Huh? Isn't it an AI?

23L: Isn't it artificial intelligence?

24L: No way, so many people don't know? Which AI would dare use our Piggy Emperor's face? Calling him Piggy, do you really think he's a pig? That's Xiao Ji, the consciousness of the Jixia Academy, the consciousness of the Han Dynasty! Didn't you pay attention in history class? Don't you know how the Jixia Academy came to be?

25L: ...I thought that was unofficial history.

26L: Six, which school teaches unofficial history in its history class?

27L: Stop arguing, stop arguing, this is a gossip thread. Kids who don't understand should go to the science thread and take a serious look. Keep gossiping, what's the point of teaching children?

28L: Me too! Everyone knows the famous duo Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, right?

29L: I know, he's a strategist who's good at internal politics.

30L: LOL, ever since Zhu Fuyan made that comment, the two of them have never been able to shake off that nickname.

31L: They don't want to get rid of it either, they're always fighting and fooling around, just to escape school affairs.

32L: I'm 28L. You guys have said so much while I was organizing this. Give me a chance to reveal some gossip! Speaking of these two brothers, Gai Nie is very popular, especially among the Mo family, while Wei Zhuang is rather arrogant. In the words of the little prince, he has a "villainous look".

At the first Spring Festival Gala of the Han Dynasty, the strategists were unfortunately not selected. Zhu Fu Yan was very unhappy about this. It was understandable that Wei Zhuang was not popular and could not participate, but why couldn't Gai Nie participate either?

Gai Nie did not answer his question!

But, but friends! I found the answer in a corner of the diary that was on display at the Little Prince exhibition!

Because Gai Nie wanted to fight alongside Wei Zhuang! But their swordsmanship was inherently murderous, something they couldn't change. This was why Zhu Fu Yan was kept in the dark and mistakenly believed that they really didn't get along.

Because their sword dance didn't fit the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala, they were eliminated. The little prince suggested that they perform separately, but neither of them wanted to.

Gai Nie also said that the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Technique is meant to be used together!

Friends, what should we say at this time?

33L: He! Absolutely! Loves!

34L: As expected, the most shippable are the fellow disciples who love and hate each other!

35L: Fanatics, be rational, this is a gossip thread!

36L: I can't be rational at all, I'm going to rush to the museum to see the exhibition right now!

...

50L: By the way, has anyone heard about Jing Tianming coveting Laozi's Green Ox?

51L: Sure enough, people who can get along well with the young prince are incredibly bold.

52L: ? What are you eyeing the Green Ox for? Do you want a mount?

53L: Hahaha, upstairs, haven't you heard this gossip? What does he want a mount for? He just wants to eat.

54L: ...Speechless. He's still the bravest.

55L: And the result?

56L: The result was that Lao Tzu smiled and created an illusion for Jing Tianming. It is said that in the illusion, he was chased, fried, and cooked countless times by the green ox, and when he woke up, he was completely avoiding the green ox.

So if you ask the disciples of the Mohist school what their leader, Jing Tianming, likes best, no one can answer. But if you ask what he hates most, ten people will say beef.
