Chapter 278 Why did you suddenly become superstitious?
Mr. Tian argued: "I finally understood the meaning of Mozi's words in the book, 'The wisdom of ghosts and gods is like comparing a good-sighted person to a deaf-blind person.' Yes, if we compare the wisdom of ghosts and gods with that of a sage, it is like comparing a good-sighted person to a deaf-blind person. Instead of "following the ancient kings", it is better to respect ghosts and gods. Only by respecting ghosts and gods and obeying their reward for good and punishment for evil can we purify ourselves."
At this point, Tian Langjun bowed to Yuan Ruan devoutly again: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Only then can I punish bad people, cleanse myself from evil, and purify myself."
Yuan Ruan was stunned when he saw the other party's pious look.
——Wait, how come the other party's enlightenment direction has changed to listening to gods and ghosts? Is he starting to believe in superstition? !
She pointed out that Yuan's mother was the instigator, just to tell the other party that there is no bad luck in you and you should not be swayed by superstition.
Yuan Ruan couldn't help but say, "It has nothing to do with me. You are not a disaster star, it's your biological mother who made you a bad person."
Tian Langjun replied very gently: "But if the Imperial Master hadn't told me, I would have suffered greatly throughout my life. It was the Imperial Master who saw me and told me that he would punish the evildoers and saved me. I will only believe in the Imperial Master throughout my life!"
Yuanruan: ...
Yuan Ruan: [What the hell is it that you believe in me! Help! I remember that Mo Jia was a master of science and engineering? I thought he suddenly realized how to teach bad people, but it turns out that he suddenly realized how to serve ghosts and gods?! How can you be so superstitious. ]
System: [Mozi has always been fascinated by ghosts and gods! He even criticized the Confucian school for not respecting ghosts and gods. Haha, Mr. Tian is now Ah Ruan's proxy swordsman among the people. He usually doesn't move, but only listens to your instructions and hits wherever you point him! ]
Yuan Ruan got goosebumps from this chuunibyou adjective, and couldn't help but say: [Not really. He beat someone up because he wanted revenge.]
System: [He sees that you want to fight! ]
Yuanruan choked up. It was funny. She seemed to have... indeed said something casually, something about beating someone up.
Yuan Ruan said weakly: [What if he slapped himself twice? I didn't let him hit himself! ]
System: [He noticed that you were alienated from him after he beat someone up, so in order to prevent you from being unfamiliar with him, he gave himself two slaps in the face so that you would not be afraid.]
Yuan Ruan: [……]Try to take a deep breath.
System: [Ah Ruan is excellent, and has gained another believer. Awesome! ]
Yuanruan: ...
She took a deep breath and tried to persuade him, saying, "It's useless to worship me. I can't give you anything. It's better to be independent and strong."
Tian Langjun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he immediately bowed and said, "Master Imperial Master, you have misunderstood me."
After saying that, he said to the one-eyed butler beside him, "Quick, go get the house deed and the account key. We in the Xia Mo sect worship ghosts and gods, and we are definitely not like some sects that only know how to ask for money with empty hands. Master Imperial Master, I am willing to raise my family as an offering!"
The one-eyed shopkeeper obviously agreed with what Tian Langjun said, and immediately shouted, "Bring them all over here right now!"
Yuanruan was shocked by the ancient version of "I will support you!" and was unable to react immediately.
At this moment, the prince suddenly took a step forward, and his movement was staggering as if he had been kicked by the emperor.
The prince said, "No need. Jiu... ahem. We will provide for you."
Qi Yue also took a step forward, picked up Yuan Ruan, and glanced at Tian Langjun, as if to say, "Don't get involved."
Prime Minister Li also stood up and stood in front of Yuan Ruan, saying with a smile: "Imperial Master, the country should provide for you. You'd better keep your little money to fill your stomach." I don't need your little melons and two dates.
Yuanruan: ...
Wait, why did it suddenly roll up?
Yuan Ruan stretched out his hand, raised his head with all his strength, and said loudly: "No need to offer sacrifices! Don't be so self-deprecating, use the money to run a good school!"
In a hurry, Yuan Ruan actually finished the sentence without stuttering.
The Emperor and his party: ...
Tian Langjun was startled, coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "As expected of you, you are the Imperial Master. You can even figure out the inferiority complex of a commoner."
After a pause, he suddenly revealed a bright smile, raised his hands, bowed deeply and said: "I will obey the order of the Imperial Master. I will definitely start a good study."
Yuanruan felt much better when she saw that the topic was changed and that she was about to get ten points.
She reached out and patted him: "I wish you to become the best teacher in Daxia, with many students all over the world."
Mr. Tian immediately knelt on his knees again.
When he knelt down, Yuanruan's chubby little hand slapped the other's cheek. Yuanruan was startled and almost blurted out "I'm sorry". Unexpectedly, Tian Langjun lowered his head even lower, allowing Yuanruan's little hand to gently stroke his head.
It was like a picture of "a little fairy stroking my head".
Mr. Tian said with a sincere expression: "I kneel down to thank the Imperial Master for his blessing. This favor is as heavy as a mountain. I bow my head and do my best..."
"Cough, cough!" Yuan Ruan watched the other party begin to swear endlessly, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
Qi Yue could see that Yuan Ruanhun was feeling uncomfortable all over.
He picked up Yuan Ruan, let her face lean against his chest, and said decisively: "Let's go back."
Then he held Yuanruan in his arms, performed an impeccable salute to the emperor and the prince, and turned away.
The emperor paused for a moment, then gave the prince a look and walked away in big strides.
Prime Minister Li looked back and also left with his son.
At this time, a group of soldiers rushed in and carried away the students who were still lying on the ground crying one by one. Anyone who resisted, no matter who they shouted, would be knocked unconscious and dragged away.
Soon, Kongxinzhai became quiet again. Only Tian Langjun, the prince, and a one-eyed shopkeeper with his head down were left in the pastry shop.
The prince asked, "Mr. Tian, are you teaching to promote the Mohist philosophy? To train knights?"
Tian Langjun was silent for a while, then he saluted and said, "I agree with the Mohist philosophy. But I teach only so that the common people can learn to read and understand the emperor's will. Only when the people are united can we implement righteous policies, understand that everyone is equal, respect and love each other, and achieve world peace..."
The more the prince listened, the more he wanted to leave.
——An idealist who does not conform to the interests of the royal family.
But thinking of his father's calm look before he left, the prince calmed down again.
The prince glanced at Mr. Tian and said, "In that case, I would like to invite you to become the official school teacher."
Tian Langjun frowned slightly, and said, "Sir, I am ignorant and dare not teach the rich and powerful. I just want to help the illiterate people learn to read."
The prince almost blurted out, "Don't be afraid, you have what the system said about the student bonus buff."
But fortunately he restrained himself and said, "They are all civilians."
Mr. Tian was stunned.
The prince said, "After the court announced the imperial examination system, many commoners wanted to send their children to school. But many private school teachers refused to accept them as students. Your Majesty specially allocated a piece of land in the East Market to recruit commoner students."
Most of the private school teachers were recommended and trained by the great nobles, or were born in the minor nobles. They were more afraid of the commoner students than the great nobles, so many private school teachers united and refused to teach.
After hearing this, Tian Langjun bowed his hands and said, "I obey your command."
The prince nodded slightly and wanted to chat a few more words, but when he thought about the equality of all people that the other party had just talked about, the prince gave up the idea of chatting.
The prince bought a large stack of cakes from here and just turned around to leave.
Then I saw Yuanruan and Qiyue hurriedly turning back.
The prince was very puzzled.
He walked up to Qi Yue and Yuan Ruan and asked softly, "Seventh sister, ninth sister, is there anything urgent?"
Qi Yue didn't know either, so she just said, "Ninth sister wants to go back to Tian Langjun."
Tian Langjun had already walked up to Yuan Ruan in a warm and sincere manner, "Excuse me, what can I do for you, Imperial Master?"
Yuanruannai's purring voice rang out: "Do you have any requirements on the age and gender of your disciples?"
Tian Langjun looked at Yuan Ruan deeply and said firmly: "No."
Prince: ...
——Hey, who just said that he was only willing to teach common people?
