"If that time really comes, there might only be Sun Chengzong left at the imperial court. In that case, Han Yu would have no chance, so he would need to find a new school of thought and new people to support him. This might be why they invited us."
After saying this, Zhang Yu sat down on the chair, staring intently at the Song Yingsheng brothers, and said in a deep voice, "That's why I said this is an opportunity, the best opportunity for us. Han Yu needs our support, and so why don't we need his support too?"
"There are Xu Guangqi, who advocates the School of Mind, and Huang Kexun, who advocates Xunzi, in the court. He doesn't have many options for Han Yu, and our Guanxue School may be a perfect fit for him. After all, we are very far from both Neo-Confucianism and the School of Mind."
Although our school is relatively small, we do have some followers. As long as we are accepted as his disciples, he will gain our support, and we will also gain his support. This is a win-win situation for both sides, and for us, the benefits may be greater.
"Because of the presence of Xinxue and Xunzi in the court, it is even more difficult for us to make a difference. Without support, it will be difficult for us to make a name for ourselves. In this situation, Han Yu is undoubtedly our best choice."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he said excitedly, "Success or failure depends on this one!"
Brothers Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes, but they believed what Zhang Yu said.
Among the three of them, Song Yingsheng was mature and steady; Song Yingxing was knowledgeable and had some knowledge of everything; as for Zhang Yu, he was not as calm as Song Yingsheng, nor as knowledgeable as Song Yingxing, but he was extremely good at planning and had a particularly deep understanding of people's hearts.
Therefore, within this small group of three, Zhang Yu had always served as the brains. Having been together for so long, Zhang Yu had proven his strength countless times. Therefore, the Song brothers had no doubts about Zhang Yu's words.
So now the question is, what should the two of us do? This is a very big thing.
"If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences." Zhang Yu looked at the two brothers in silence and said slowly.
At this moment, Song Yingsheng raised his head and directly addressed Zhang Yu, "You've already said that Han Yu's position is already precarious, and he could leave at any moment. If he leaves mid-term, wouldn't we become the target of public criticism? We have no support within the court, and at that point, we'd probably be left idle and unemployed."
"That's better than now, right?" Zhang Yu said with a disdainful smile, "What are we doing now?"
"We haven't even passed the imperial examination, let alone anything else. With Han Yu's support, we'll soon be able to enter the mainstream vision. Let's not talk about other things, just talk about the Royal Academy. Once we enter the Royal Academy, if no one supports us, what can we do?"
"Brother, I think we can give it a try." Song Yingxing looked at Song Yingsheng and said, "What Zhang Yu said makes sense. Anyway, we don't know what the future will be like, so we might as well give it a try. If we can do it, then we will be able to do things well, and our study will not be in vain."
"If we don't succeed, the worst that can happen is that we can return to our hometown and write books and study, while continuing the family tradition of farming and studying. We can even benefit our hometown, which will be a great blessing for us."
Seeing that both of them had the same attitude, Song Yingsheng thought about it, nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's give it a try. If Han Yu really says so, then we'll follow him."
