For a moment, all eyes were focused on Pan Tao.
King Ao, the ruler of a state, is high above everyone else.
But who could have thought that after Chen Yu came, he became so embarrassed?
"Again, sir?"
Zheng Kun was dumbfounded.
Can you give me an example, bro?
It’s not good to always pick the same person.
However, Chen Yu doesn’t care about Zheng Kun’s thoughts at all.
"I did curse people, but the people I cursed were corrupt officials, bullies, and unscrupulous officials in power."
"For example, Pan Tao is a jerk who does all kinds of evil things every day. Should he be scolded?"
“True etiquette means behaving in a measured and restrained manner, creating a good environment, and thus achieving the goal of spreading etiquette throughout the world.”
"But, when you meet such an idiot, is it useful to reason with him? It's useless!"
"People like this should be scolded harshly. They won't dare to be rude to others again, and the world will become a better place."
"Superficial etiquette only creates a false sense of kindness. True etiquette brings peace and prosperity to the world."
"This is a small insult that becomes a great courtesy! How can it be disrespectful?"
Chen Yu's remarks once again sparked heated discussion.
"Yes, Master Chen's insights are truly profound."
"Ah, Master Chen really woke me up with one sentence. Indeed, if we don't scold such people, where is the great courtesy in the world?"
"I was short-sighted. Now I see that my previous understanding was too narrow-minded."
Chen Yu's words won wide approval.
Liu Ran clenched his fists, his heart pounding.
A small scolding becomes a great gift. What kind of level must one reach to see through the surface and get to the essence?
All the powerful people around had ugly expressions on their faces.
According to Chen Yu, they should all be scolded?
But when you think about it carefully, it seems to be true?
They were so damn angry. They knew that Chen Yu was targeting them, but what Chen Yu said made so much sense that they couldn't refute it at all?
Zheng Kun blinked.
At this moment, he felt like he was screwed.
To be honest, he has been persuaded by Chen Yu.
But what is his position?
Refute Chen Yu and humiliate Chen Yu!
How could he be persuaded by Chen Yu?
This is absolutely not possible!
Zheng Kun was thinking about how to refute Chen Yu, and the other nine people were also thinking about it.
In this brief confrontation, they already knew how powerful Chen Yu was.
If they act rashly, not only will it be difficult to humiliate Chen Yu, but they themselves will become a laughing stock.
So they were very cautious and didn't dare to speak easily.
There was silence on the platform for a moment.
"Why are you all speechless? It's just right that since you're here, I have a few questions for you."
"I wonder if you dare to continue?"
Just as he was thinking about how to refute, Chen Yu spoke.
Click!
Zheng Kun and others were startled and looked at each other.
"Excuse me, Master Chen."
Zheng Kun had no choice but to take it on.
Chen Yu smiled, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
"I want to ask, are you worthy of being called a great scholar?"
This one sentence made Zheng Kun and the other ten people's expressions change suddenly.
"Master Chen, please stop talking nonsense! How can we not be great scholars?"
Pan Tao's face darkened as he said, "Master Chen, you're over the top. These ten great scholars are genuine. Are you looking down on them?"
Chen Yu snorted coldly and said, "I really don't look down on them."
"Great Confucian scholars cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern their country and bring peace to the world, but what have they done?"
"Zheng Kun, and the other nine of you, how are you cultivating yourselves? Do you have a sense of righteousness in your hearts? When you encounter injustice, have you ever spoken up for what is right?"
Zheng Kun and the other ten were stunned, their faces flushed red, and they were speechless.
To be honest, he has been obsessed with fame, wealth and power over the years. When he encounters injustice, he will avoid it if he can. How can he speak up for justice?
Chen Yu asked again, "As for the way to manage a family, have you ever taught your family to take the world as their own responsibility, value family traditions, and set an example for the people of Aozhou?"
The ten people were speechless again.
Since they gained status, have they ever disciplined their family members?
The family members make money and enjoy themselves.
There is no education for the family at all, let alone establishing any family traditions.
All they do is use their power to clean up after their family members get into trouble!
Seeing this, Chen Yu sneered and asked the third question.
"How are you doing in governing the country? Not to mention the Great Qin territory, have you ever contributed to the people's livelihood in this Aozhou territory alone?"
"Do you know how farmers are getting their crops? Do you know how the market is doing? Do you know how the people are living?"
Speechless!
Still speechless!
They have never cared about these things, so how would they know?
Chen Yu's fourth question followed closely.
"Have you ever done anything to pacify the world? When the immortals oppressed my Great Qin, did you resist?"
"What contribution can you make to the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty?"
Zheng Kun and others were completely speechless.
The scene fell into a strange silence.
Countless common people, scholars, peddlers and porters were staring at Zheng Kun and his ten companions.
There was deep contempt and disappointment in his eyes.
These are the ten great Confucian scholars!
Faced with Mr. Chen's question, he couldn't even say a word!
If I had done even a little bit, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
How can such a person be considered a great scholar?
"Great scholar? Are you ten people worthy enough?"
Chen Yu laughed heartily and spoke loudly, making Zheng Kun and the other ten feel ashamed.
Pan Tao sat in his seat, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping out of it.
