There is no lust here

. Tongxin is paying attention to the prince

. The rulers and ministers of Daxia are paying attention to Xu Yanmiao.

The crowd is eating Zhuzi's melons, and taking a look at the descendants of the Hundred Schools besieging the descendants of Mencius.

No one cares about Zhu Bailu who started the debate.

Zhu Bailu stood alone in the middle of the field, looked at his cold and empty surroundings, and then looked at Xu Yanmiao who was surrounded by so many people that he could almost be said to be the moon surrounded by stars, and his old face was burning with pain.

Looking at the emperor who was still alone on the sidelines (Jinyiwei: Are we dead?), Zhu Bailu's eyes lit up, walked over, and saluted: "Your Majesty?"

The majesty was absent-minded: "Hmm..." His

ears were all tilted towards Xu Yanmiao.

[Did Zhuzi get his daughter-in-law pregnant? Of course not! How did the rumor become so outrageous! 】

The old emperor cracked melon seeds and had time to think: Maybe it’s because Bai Ze is not here.

The commander of the Jinyiwei glanced at Zhu Bailu, who was pale because he was ignored by His Majesty, and clicked his tongue twice.

Is this a breach? The man who collapsed the floor with his concubine is still going to work at the Ministry of War every day as if nothing had happened. If this is all you can bear, you are not suitable to be a Beijing official!

【Even Zhu Zi’s political enemies only said that Zhu Zi was not strict in managing his family and that his daughter-in-law didn’t know whose child she was pregnant with. You people directly went as far as to say that Zhu Zi slept with his daughter-in-law. This... is more terrifying than his political enemies! 】

【Oh! Among them, Zhu Zi’s disciples, descendants, and future generations also believed and helped spread the rumor! 】

What! There is such a thing!

The commander of the Jinyiwei quickly withdrew his attention from Zhu Bailu.

Apart from the safety of His Majesty, eating melons is the most important thing! Who is Zhu Bailu? He doesn't know him!

And Zhu Bailu himself didn't know what happened at all, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Your Majesty, I, Zhu Bailu, pay my respects..."

The old emperor was disturbed and said impatiently: "What do you mean by paying my respects? I don't want to see you now!"

Zhu Bailu's face was pale.

He read this sentence over and over in his mind, and every word, even every pause, made him think over and over again.

His face was getting grayer and grayer, and he was getting more and more frustrated. Turning his head to look at Xu Yanmiao who was surrounded by people, he raised his sleeves to cover his face and left quickly.

Resign!

How can he stay in the officialdom with dignity!

But he still couldn't help but look back to see if anyone noticed his exit.

"..."

No one was paying attention, no one looked back.

They were all paying attention to Xu Yanmiao!

What kind of magic potion did Xu Yanmiao feed these people! It was so attractive! Wasn't he just washing Zhu Zi's dirty water? Do these people still care whether Zhu Zi was wronged or not?

Zhu Bailu couldn't figure it out at all.

It was like he couldn't hear Xu Yanmiao's thoughts at all.

[Although they are kind-hearted, every time someone talks about Zhu Zi's personal morality, before they even say what personal morality it is, they solemnly state: Zhu Zi and his daughter-in-law definitely don't have an affair. ] [

Zhu Zi really thanks you guys, not so many people knew about it originally. 】

【Is this the legendary three hundred taels of silver for no adultery here? 】

"..."

The commander of the Jinyiwei pinched his hands tightly.

Can't laugh, can't laugh! You are the Jinyiwei, you have to protect the safety of the emperor and the prince, you must stand aside like a weapon, and a weapon cannot laugh suddenly!

But, Zhu Zi's story is really funny!

Who could have thought that the evolution and spread of Zhu Zi's rumors are such a shame for his true filial son and virtuous grandson!

The commander of the Jinyiwei tried hard to hold back his laughter and swept his eyes around.

Huh? What about that Zhu What Deer?

Never mind, it's not important. Let's continue to listen to what Xiao Bai Ze says next.

＊

Xu Yanmiao took a look at the gossip system and answered the three questions with firm answers -

"Fake."

"Fake."

"Fake."

Someone asked him: "How do you know it's fake?"

Xu Yanmiao: "After his son Zhu Ju died, he was heartbroken. Because Jianyang Kaoting was a place his son particularly liked, he moved to Jianyang. His daughter-in-law did not remarry and took his grandson back to their ancestral home in Wuyuan, Jiangxi. From Jianyang to Wuyuan... the distance is five or six hundred miles. How can they meet in private?"

The man said: "That... it is also possible Before his son died... "

Xu Yanmiao: "Zhu Ju had a bad character and loved to play. Zhu Zi was afraid that he could not teach him well, so one year after he came of age, he sent him to Jinhua County, Wuzhou, to study under Lu Zuqian. Three or four years later they got married, and four years later she died. Zhu Ju had been married for only four years in total, and he only went home once during those four years to take part in the imperial examinations. He even died in Wuzhou. How did Zhu Zi find the time to commit adultery with his daughter-in-law and make her pregnant?"

[It can't be a one-shot deal, right?]

[Over fifty, still as majestic as he was, a one-shot deal?]

[If you insist on saying that... it's really rude.]

The rulers and ministers of Daxia were holding back their laughter in agony.

The person asking the question couldn't hear his inner voice, but was choked by Xu Lang's words for a long time, and he just had to ask: "How do you know all this?"

Before Xu Yanmo could say anything, Official No. 1 suddenly said: "It's in the Royal Library."

- In order to prevent his ancestors from being dragged into this, he also tried his best.

"After his son got married, Zhu Zi met his daughter-in-law several times..."

"It's recorded in the Royal Library."

"After Zhu Zi's daughter-in-law returned to the Zhu family's ancestral land, the two of them never met..."

"It's recorded in the Royal Library." "

Did Zhu Zi meet his daughter-in-law who was not married yet... Wait, you don't need to answer this!"

The person asking the question also knew that he was too outrageous. He quickly started to ask the next question: "Then... the famous prostitute..."

"It is said that when the famous prostitute incident happened, the person who helped Zhu Zi to torture the famous prostitute was Yue Lin, the then Zhejiang East Chief Justice, but..." Xu Yanmiao's face was strange: "Yue Lin, during that period, did not serve as the Zhejiang East Chief Justice at all."

As he said that, he read out the list of all the officials who served as the Zhejiang East Chief Justice at that time.

The person asking the question was shocked: "This is also..."

Official No. 2: "That's right! This is also recorded in the Royal Library!" "

Hiss——"

The crowd of onlookers took a breath of cool air.

The Royal Library! So terrifying!

Some people silently stepped back a few steps to avoid being noticed, and their privacy was put into the library.

This is too terrible!

And the emperor himself: "...cough."

Yes, the Royal Library is so powerful! Just like the Jinyiwei are really elusive and can monitor the world.

Speaking of which, what about the Jinyiwei who forged it! Has the forgery been completed? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they couldn’t take out the book when they needed it?

...

The Jinyiwei was riding their horses and galloping back to forge it.

*

Xu Yanmiao coughed: "Now, who else wants to prove whether Zhuzi did anything?"

The whole audience was silent.

Xu Yanmiao thought for a while: "Chengzi is also okay. Although they didn't take in nuns or commit adultery with their daughters-in-law, there are some rumors..."

"No, no, no, no need!"

At least half of the people were ashamed and didn't dare to look up.

Some people occasionally glanced at Xu Yanmiao secretly, their eyes full of amazement.

This is Xu's magical power... It really is a great magical power!

But there are always people who don't believe it and jump out: "You are so interested, you are disrespecting the ancient sages!"

Xu Yanmiao was very polite: "No, no, I learned it from the ancient sages."

The other party choked: "What?"

The young man smiled: "Zhu Zi said that Confucius' knowledge is useless."

So he is just a little interested in the gossip about the ancient sages, which is not too much, right?

The other party: "You are talking nonsense--"

Xu Yanmiao: "Really, if you don't believe me, go read "Zhu Zi Yu Lei"."

The pupils of the onlookers were shaking, and they were greatly shocked.

The person asking the question also looked like his world view was completely destroyed.

Zhu Zi, you turned out to be this kind of Zhu Xi!

Next to him, Tong Xin held the spicy beef jerky, and both arms were shaking.

Quan Yingzhang glanced at him, pulled him away from the crowd, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Tongxin held back his laughter: "You, my friend, are so funny."

Quan Yingzhang thought for a moment: "Is he lying?"

"No." Tongxin held back his laughter, and his body straightened, but his eyes were still smiling: "He is telling the truth, but he is indeed deceiving these people for not having read Zhuzi Yulei in its entirety."

Quan Yingzhang was curious: "What do you mean?"

Tongxin said happily: "Zhu Zi's original words are: If we return to the feudal era, even the wise men will have no place to use their skills. If you don't believe it, look at the Spring and Autumn Period. Is there any use for Confucius' teachings?" Quan

Yingzhang slowly widened his eyes.

Then...

"Hahahahahahaha——"

The others turned around in confusion and looked at Quan Yingzhang in confusion, not understanding why Quan Gong suddenly laughed?

"Ahem." Prime Minister Dou cleared his throat: "This debate is over, Xu Xiaolang admits defeat, and Zhu Gong wins. Do you have any objections?"

No one objected.

But no one cheered.

The people who were reminded turned around angrily to look for Zhu Bailu.

If it weren't for this person, this debate would not have happened!

Prime Minister Dou smiled as they watched their hatred shift from Xu Yanmiao, hiding his merits and fame.

Xu Yanmiao left the stage very low-key, and was about to leave the academy when Quan Yingzhang grabbed him: "Xu boy, are you really not going to join the ancient literature school! You really have potential!"

Tongxin next to him looked at Xu Shentong curiously.

——It was the first time he saw his good friend begging someone to join their school like this.

Xu Yanmiao blinked and shook her head vigorously: "No, thank you for your kindness, Lord Quan."

Quan Yingzhang tried to tempt: "Are you really not coming? I can teach you the ultimate means of debate."

[Yes, I am a little tempted. ]

Quan Yingzhang: Okay!

[But forget it, no one can make me go back to senior year! ]

No!

Quan Yingzhang was anxious.

What the hell is senior year!

Senior year, if you have the guts to stand up! My two iron crutches have not tasted no offensive power!

"Let me tell you, you listen first, and then we'll talk after you finish listening!"

Xu Yanmiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood at attention: "Lord Quan, you say."

Quan Yingzhang cleared his throat: "It's actually very simple. If you want to defeat the other party as quickly as possible, you just need to say something that he can't refute."

[For example? 】

Quan Yingzhang: "For example... about a thousand years ago, there was such a debate, it was a debate between Huang-Lao and Confucianism, debating whether Tang and Wu were appointed by heaven or were regicides by subjects."

"Yeah yeah!" "

Huang-Lao believes that Tang and Wu were not appointed by heaven, but regicides. Confucianism believes that Tang and Wu were capable of overthrowing tyrants, which means they were appointed by heaven!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"In the beginning, the debate between the two sides was very fierce, and neither side could defeat the other."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Huang-Lao said: The monarch is the monarch, the minister is the minister, and the hierarchy cannot be messed up. Even if Jie and Zhou were incompetent monarchs, they were still monarchs. Even if Tang and Wu were saints, they were still ministers. If the monarch made mistakes, the ministers should correct them. What's the point of choosing to regicide!"

"Hmm!"

"Then the great scholar who was debating at that time said: What does it matter if the (ancestor) of this dynasty rebelled against the previous dynasty?"

Xu Yanmiao choked up: "Ahem!"

[Isn't this the rising altitude! ]

Quan Yingzhang: Oh! So this is what the "rising altitude" that often appears in Xu's mind means!

It is indeed the rising altitude.

Quan Yingzhang: "The emperor was also present at that time. He was listening to their quarrel with great interest. When he heard this, he immediately interrupted the debate and tried to smooth things over, saying that it was difficult to say whether Tang Wu was ordered to do so, so let's forget about the debate."

Xu Yanmiao almost crashed: "Can it be like this?!"

Quan Yingzhang nodded and asked in a gentle tone: "Have you learned it?"

Xu Yanmiao also nodded, thinking.

[Then I understand. I don't need to say so much nonsense in this defense. I just need to say: According to what you said, your majesty's mother remarried, his sister remarried, his two daughters have divorced, and your majesty is very keen to let them remarry... Your majesty, your entire family of women, including you, are very immoral! ] The

smile of Emperor Tiantong, who was eavesdropping in the distance, froze.
