Chapter 35 Tampering with the Holy Will
"Hmph! Su Lin, you are so bold. Do you think you are a saint? You dare to say that the Confucian scholars in the Tianren Continent are wrong. They speak without speaking and are arrogant. Don't think that you are a mere scholar's son. If you pass the county examination, you can soar into the sky without taking the world. You must know that this county examination is just the first threshold for the imperial examination to be selected. As expected, it is a bad life that has never seen the world. You dare to say such crazy words! Believe it or not, I will report to the Holy Punishment Department where you, the Duty Student, will be deprived of your position of a child!"
When Huang Tong heard that Su Lin dared to say that the Confucian scholars in the Tianren Continent were wrong, he said disdainfully. At the same time, he was also surprised that his cousin Zhao Shuang was the grandson of a great scholar. After all, he had read a lot of classics since he was a child. How could he be compared by a country lowly person like Su Lin who speaks unscrupulously?
"Tsk tsk... This is the first time I, Liu Chang, have heard someone dare to say that all the Confucian scholars in the world are wrong! Could it be that I really think that he is the only one in the world? This kid is so arrogant!"
"I'm just a scholar's son. I guess he has never seen any world since he was a child. Does he know how big the world is? There are more than 10,000 Confucian scholars in Wu alone, and more than 100,000 Confucian scholars in the world, but he even denied it with just one word. He is even more arrogant than Jing Wudao, a madman in Chu State! But Jing Wudao is already the cultivation of a great Confucian scholar and has a capital of arrogance! This is a fifteen-year-old boy in Su Lin, who dares to deny the Confucian scholars in the world like this."
...
Even though the onlookers had a hint of sympathy for Su Lin, they now looked at Su Lin with a strange and disdainful look. Because Su Lin said that all the Confucian scholars in the world were wrong, they were naturally included. Moreover, if such arrogant and unfounded words would not like them in anyone's ears.
"This is really interesting to call Su Lin's scholar son. In this case, he dared to say such words. However, when I see him, he seemed calm and calm. He said that all the Confucian scholars in the world were wrong. I really want to know, why did he say all the Confucian scholars in the world be wrong?"
Lin Wanjing, the first case in Beijing, smiled, looked at Su Lin with an interesting look, and said to Fang Ziling beside him.
"Brother Lin, do you think of this kid? He is just a case leader from a small place like Fengle County. What real talent can he have? Brother Lin is the well-deserved first case leader of the Wu Kingdom. The Confucian scholars in the capital are really bad. When they meet Brother Lin, they probably have lost hope of the high school case leader before the exam starts." Fang Ziling didn't even look at Su Lin. In his opinion, Su Lin was just a local bun that had never seen the world.
Among these cases, one of them exclaimed, and did not sarcastically sarcastically at Su Lin without thinking. Instead, he said in his heart: "This human Confucian scholar named Su Lin is very brave. His father said that the human Confucian scholars follow the rules and follow the holy path set by Saint Confucius, and all the seniority and inferiority are orderly. But Su Lin dared to speak wildly and accuse the Confucian scholars all over the world for being wrong. It's quite interesting!"
That's right, this person is Li Yu, the saint of the Jade Rabbit Demon Clan. He wears the demon treasure demon spirit jade, hiding his identity as a demon clan and a woman. He is wearing a child's clothing, has a handsome face and a generous appearance. Even among the young masters of these wealthy families, in terms of appearance and temperament, he is one of the few handsome men.
"Why is Su Lin so unaware of observing words and expressions? I have just helped them find a way out, but I have to show off my verbal advantage. He dares to say that all the Confucian scholars in the world are wrong! Alas! The child is not taught! Then Yuan Mu is the son of a grand scholar, so why is he so unsighted and making friends with such people? Now that I am harming others and myself, even if I want to help him, I am powerless."
Today, Hong Jingzhang was a little impetuous. When he heard Su Lin say such arrogant words, he frowned in displeasure, sighed, and shook his head.
"Sir Hong, you have also heard it. As the son of a scholar, Su Lin was barely considered a member of the gentry, but he said such arrogant words. It really fulfilled the sentence Hanlin Ran Zicheng pointed out in "Theory of Wealth, Poverty and Humbleness": "The way of heaven is ethical, and wealth is destined. How can poor and humble sons be discussed with wealth and honor?" I really hope that Ran Hanlin will be promoted to the position of great scholars as soon as possible, so that our Wu Kingdom will pursue class division and rule from top to bottom. In that way, we will never encounter such arrogant poor and humble sons again!"
Seeing that almost everyone was watching Su Lin's joke, Huang Tong's thoughts and thoughts were particularly clear, and his purpose was achieved. He ridiculed Su Lin in front of so many people, making everyone, including Grand Secretary Hong Jingzhang, feel disgusted and arrogant towards Su Lin. Huang Tong believed that after such a blow, Su Lin's thoughts and spirit would be completely abandoned.
However, when Huang Tong was sneering and looking at Su Lin's embarrassment, he found that in the face of the disdain and sarcasm of everyone, Su Lin was calm and calm. There was no shame or anger on his face. Instead, he took a step forward and said with confidence to him:
"The holy words of Confucius are an explanation of Confucius's benevolence. Confucius's pride is benevolence. I don't believe that Confucius' sages would say "Don't make friends with people who are inferior to yourself." So, I said you were wrong."
"Oh? That's even more ridiculous! Su Lin, although you were born in poverty and humbleness, you are still the leader of a county. You may not have read the "Analects of Confucius"? No matter what version of the Analects of Confucius it is, there is a saying about Confucius's remarks about "No friends is worse than yourself." Your quibbling is too pale and powerless, right? Do you think that if you don't believe it, the existing facts will no longer exist? It's really ridiculous!"
He thought Su Lin would say such a majestic argument, but the result was such a ridiculous reason. Huang Tong had not even used the sophistry thinking of famous artists. He just said casually and thought that Su Lin could have nothing to say.
The surrounding desk leaders laughed out loud, because Su Lin's words were as innocent as a child. The true meaning and principles of the scriptures must stand serious and careful consideration. Just by relying on a naive sentence, I deny the words that Confucius said, and it is even more ridiculous than Su Lin's arrogant words just now.
"I did not say that there is no saying in the Analects of Confucius that 'No friend is worse than yourself'. All I want to say is my understanding of this sentence. The Confucian scholars in the entire Tianren Continent were wrong. This holy word was misunderstood."
Faced with the further ridicule and ridicule of the people, Su Lin calmly said calmly, "When Confucius said, 'When he said, 'No friend is worse than yourself', he did not mean not to be friends with people who are not as good as himself. Instead, he warned us to respect everyone and think that all friends cannot be inferior to your own. People have their own strengths when they interact with each other. So, I said you are all wrong, and all the Confucian scholars who understand this way are wrong."
With a firm statement, Su Lin's words and sentences are full of extremely firm and persistent self-confidence, which expresses the correct explanation of "no friends is inferior to oneself".
Just as he said this, everyone at the scene was shocked. They did not expect that Su Lin, who was laughed as arrogant and arrogant, would express his understanding of "no friends is inferior to himself."
However, after a little stunned, Huang Tong came back to his senses and used the sophistry of famous scholars to refute Su Lin: "Su Lin, I underestimated you. I didn't expect that you are still a little capable of distorting facts. However, do you think that just by relying on your words, you can subvert our Tianren Continent's understanding of Confucius's words for thousands of years? Although what you said is a little reasonable, it is just your personal guess after all. Are you a great scholar? Or a semi-saint? Do you think that with the wisdom tricks that you have not even opened up in the sea of wisdom, you have enough wisdom to explain the words of saints? Since ancient times, all those who can explain the annotations of Confucius's "The Analects of Confucius" are semi-saints whose cultivation has reached its peak. If even you, a child of Huang's mouth, can you correctly interpret the holy words of "The Analects of Confucius", then wouldn't you be able to enlighten the wisdom with the true holy words of Confucius?"
Everyone who was a little shocked by what Su Lin said, then when they heard Huang Tong's rebuttal, they all came to their senses and shook their heads, thinking that Huang Tong's words were reasonable. Su Lin was just a child who did not even have a wisdom sea. How could his understanding of Confucius's holy words be worthy of the semi-saint Yang Bojun who annotated the Analects of Confucius for thousands of years?
"Rareless! Su Lin, how can you explain the words of a saint? When half-saint Yang Bojun made annotations on the Analects of Confucius, the sentence "No friend is worse than yourself" means this. How can you tamper with your own random thoughts and try to fool us? This is a serious sin of tampering with the will of the holy people, do you know? I want to arrest you and send it to the temple, and let the Holy Punishment Department punish you heavily!"
Grand Secretary Hong Jingzhang sternly scolded Su Lindao. Although he also hoped that half-saint Yang Bojun's explanation was wrong and Su Lin's explanation was correct, then Ran Zicheng's "Theory of Wealth, No. 1" is self-defeating. However, one is the careful research explanation of the semi-saint, and the other is the child's nonsense. No matter who knows which one should be believed.
However, Su Lin's remarks were attempting to convey the meaning of the tampered holy words to them. This was the first-class serious crime of "tampering with the holy will" issued by the Holy Punishment Department of the Temple. Confucian scholars from the nine countries of the Tianren Continent, whoever sees "tampering with the holy will" will be punished!
