Is there anything wrong with etiquette?

There is nothing wrong with etiquette, but to elevate it to the level of etiquette is a bit of an overreaction.

Today, Confucianism is transforming into a religion.

Is there no extraordinary person in Confucianism?

have……

The use of talent, the use of official positions and national destiny...

Although Confucian scholars and officials have mortal bodies, they are no longer ordinary people.

If gods and Buddhas are high and mighty, then isn't Confucius no different?

His ideals are indeed lofty and his intentions are good.

But Kong Hanan is not a saint, he cannot understand the feeling of treating human life as worthless.

Or perhaps, Kong Hanan does not approve of people who treat human life as worthless.

Although Meng Yu was somewhat restrained and had previously plotted against Kong Hanan, Kong Hanan approved of Meng Yu's behavior more than Kong Sheng.

Moreover, Confucius's plan does not necessarily lead to the rise of the human race...

What's more, Kong Sheng now seemed to have everything under control, which made Kong Hanan feel uneasy.

He had a vague feeling that the higher Confucius stood now, the harder he would fall in the near future.

Faced with Kong Hanan's question, Kong Sheng frowned.

He realized that his nephew recognized him, but not completely.

Just like his eldest disciple Meng Yu.

"I don't need you or anyone to obey me. Whether it's etiquette or the crown prince of Da Qi, they are all forms that facilitate governance. I think you should understand."

Kong Hanan sighed deeply.

He understands, but also doesn't understand...

According to the laws of social development, it is inevitable that a slave society will transform into a feudal society.

But the people are not two-legged sheep, nor do they have to be ruled by anyone...

Punishment and necessary restraint are necessary. After all, there is no absolute freedom in the world...

But as rituals continue to develop, they will inevitably create classes, and future emperors and officials will become like the gods of today...

Saints will eventually be worshipped as gods...

This was something that had already happened in the historical records of his previous life.

Where there are classes, there will be oppression, and there will be resistance...

How to solve it, Kong Hanan couldn't say...

Even the great man in his previous life seemed to have not completely solved the class problem...

What's more, there are extraordinary people in this world.

He is not a great man, he did not come to this world to bring about change...

Although this sounds unambitious, Kong Hanan really has no dreams.

If we have to say a goal, it is to make the underworld no longer an existence that can be easily bullied.

Kong Hanan rubbed his forehead and bowed to Kong Sheng.

"I have now inherited the Underworld from the Queen Mother Hou Tu. I am restricted in every way in the human world, and it is difficult for me to improve my cultivation. In the future, I may retreat to the Underworld and rarely come to the human world."

"So I don't intend to interfere in human affairs, and it's difficult for me to interfere."

"I also hope for the well-being of the human race, but..."

"I don't need the title of Fengdu Emperor for now. I'm shallow and my strength is not good enough. It's a bit premature to be called an emperor."

If Kong Hanan felt that the time was ripe and he needed to be crowned emperor, he could simply declare himself emperor and not require anyone to confer the title on him.

He is strong enough and deserves any title no matter what it is.

If Kong Hanan thought about it, is there anyone in the underworld who can stop him?

So he doesn't care about this title.

"The title of Emperor Yin is unnecessary for my uncle. It's really embarrassing for me..."

Kong Hanan has lived two lives as a human being, and he has no habit of being anyone's son except his own parents.

Even the Son of Heaven!

In the underworld, he only wants to act according to the will of his creator, rather than acting on behalf of the so-called heaven.

But he did not completely break off relations with Confucius.

It would be fine if the eldest prince whom Dao Sheng supported before had some ability, but now it seems that the eldest prince is just so-so, and it is very likely that Dao Sheng was angered and left by the eldest prince.

Then why should he offend the princelings again?

The human race is anxious to find a ruler for itself; that is human business...

Kong Hanan no longer has any interest in worldly affairs.

Kong Hanan was prepared to have everyone in the world as his enemy, but that didn't mean he would offend everyone he met.

The meaning of his words is very clear. If he is needed, he will do it at his discretion, but he will not accept any benefits and cannot afford them. If he does not do it, don't blame him.

Kong Sheng's brows furrowed, as if he was somewhat puzzled by Kong Hanan's refusal.

"If it's a question related to cultivation, I can't answer it for you. My teacher is now living in seclusion on Mount Tai. You can go find him and ask Meng Yu to take you there..."

The only person in this world who can be called a teacher by Confucius is the Sage of Taoism.

Thinking of the Taoist Saint, Kong Hanan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the old man.

The eldest prince whom he supported angered him and drove him away, but it was his political enemy Confucius who was more concerned about his whereabouts.

Confucius said again.

"After you return from your trip to Mount Tai, please take some time to visit the palace and let the late emperor's soul return to the underworld so that he can rest in peace."

"This is your job, you won't refuse, right?"

Kong Hanan shook his head.

It really didn't matter, he also wanted to meet the legendary emperor.

"I'll go now."

Confucius looked a little strange.

"Now... I'm afraid it's not convenient. You should go to Mount Tai and see the teacher first."

"During this time, you should think carefully about it..."

"I know you're so young and in charge of a world, so you're bound to be arrogant, but people must eventually bow their heads. Otherwise, with the prince's temper, if he were to label you an evil god, it would be disastrous."

Kong Hanan could tell that this was the teaching of Confucius as an elder, not a threat.

Full of care...

I have to say that, putting aside other factors, Confucius is actually qualified as an uncle.
