Xunzi couldn't pretend anymore, so if he pretended to be Yang Zheng, he would run to someone else's house.

This sudden attitude turning point made everyone stunned and wondered if they had heard it wrong. Meng Hetang, who was still arrogant the moment before, was even more shocked and froze there.

Their judgment made a serious mistake. Xunzi said that just to scare Yang Zheng, not because of his contempt for this little guy. As early as a month ago, Xunzi had witnessed Yang Zheng's style and was extremely favored, so how could he reject him?

It’s not that Yang Zheng doesn’t know that the world is high and the earth is thick, but that his talent and character are definitely worthy of standing on the shoulders of a saint to see how high and thick that day is!

The scene was silent, everyone was in shock and their faces were stiff.

Yang Zheng was not surprised by this and did not rush to reply to Xunzi. Instead, he looked at Meng Hetang in the reed pan with an extremely calm look, without saying anything, but the irony was beyond replenishment.

Say I am not worthy, say I am dreaming during the day? What are you?

Meng Hetang was stared at like this, his face was blushing, and he felt like he had slapped him in the face. He was ashamed and angry, but he could no longer argue.

Just now, he mocked Yang Zheng for being foolish and trying to cling to Xun Sheng. Everyone heard it clearly, but the words were still in their ears. At this moment, Xun Sheng's attitude was also very clear, and his words were full of appreciation. In comparison, he turned out to be a clown.

He gritted his teeth, and fire was about to spit out from his eyes. He wanted to fight back against Yang Zheng, but was afraid of angering Xun Sheng, so he did not dare to speak, so he had to secretly send a voice with his divine thoughts.

"Idiot, don't be proud! Do you think he really values ​​your talent? What a bullshit genius of cultivating and scholars, you are just a tool he uses. If you didn't catch up with the struggle for sacrificial wine, you wouldn't be able to catch up with his magic!"

At this point, he was still unwilling to admit that it was Yang Zheng's dazzling performance that touched Xun Sheng.

Having said that, he actually knew in his heart that Xun Sheng was a lone person, extremely unsociable, and never pursued fame and fortune. While concentrating on enlightenment, he only wanted to spread the principles of the great way and had nothing to do except this.

In order to sacrifice for a time, he went against his original intention and accepted a disciple he didn't like. This was definitely not what Xun Sheng did. Since he spoke in person, it means that he really admired Yang Zheng, not to use it. He disdained to act like a villain.

When Yang Zheng heard this, he did not take Meng Hetang's belittlement to heart. He looked up at the void and replied, "Since my senior favors me and I am willing to accept me as my disciple, then I should enter Confucianism."

Although he only met Xunzi and was not familiar with the other person's personality, based on his understanding of Xunzi in history, this person is noble and noble, not a treacherous villain, and should not have been forced to accept himself just because of the dispute over sacrificial wine.

In other words, Xunzi deserves to be his teacher.

In order to prevent the night from getting long and dreaming, he promised to choose Confucianism.

He thought that both sides were in love and hit it off and there should be no trouble. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, another voice sounded in the void, which was the Taoist ancestor Huanyuan.

"Yang Zheng cannot enter Confucianism!"

This sentence is tough and firm, and he does not care about Xunzi's face. It is clearly intended to prevent Xunzi from accepting disciples, which shocked everyone.

Taoism is unwilling to let Yang Zheng go to Confucianism and become his own strong enemy. This is reasonable. The question is, how could the ancestor have such great confidence to dare to speak without restraint and to ruin Xun Sheng’s good things in public?

It is true that Huanyuan is respected as a master, but he cannot even enter the top ten in the world. Xunzi is one of the six saints, ranking fifth, and can definitely crush Huanyuan in the Taoist practice. Huanyuan is so arrogant that he is looking for abuse when targeting Xun Sheng’s head?

He was overbearing.

Yang Zheng was stunned. Unexpectedly, Huanyuan would suddenly speak and stop him from becoming a disciple. After all, the other party was a leader, so he couldn't provoke in public, so he quietly waited for Xunzi to take charge of him.

Xunzi pronounced from a distance and said unexpectedly: "Why does a real person say this? Isn't it natural for candidates to choose schools freely?"

Although he was a little annoyed, his tone was quite polite. After all, Confucianism and Taoism had a deep origin. The sage Confucius once asked for advice from the Taoist ancestor Laozi, and Huanyuan was Laozi's personal disciple. From the perspective of generation, this old Taoist was his uncle.

Huanyuan snorted coldly, with the King of Qi supporting him, he was full of confidence, but he was not afraid of the majesty of the saint, and said stiffly: "Yesterday, the king sent an edict to me, saying that it was Yang Zheng who saved the prince and revealed that he had made contributions to the rebellion of the party. Such a pillar of talent must be worshipped under my seat and trained him with his own hands."

The King of Qi's advice was obviously just a moment ago, but he said it was yesterday. In this way, not to mention the supreme kingship, the king's order is difficult to violate. Just in time, we have to say that we come first and then come. The King of Qi's will was earlier than Xun Sheng, so his edict should be based on his edict.

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest hurried over, holding the scroll in both hands, and whistled: "The king's order is here!"

He came in time.

Everyone saluted and listened to the Taoist priests reading the edict.

The content of the edict was very simple. As Huanyuan said, the King of Qi praised Yang Zheng very much, believing that he had made contributions to the country and deserved to be carefully cultivated and continued to serve Da Qi in the future. Huanyuan's ancestor was a very knowledgeable ancestor and was also a disciple of Laozi, so it was most appropriate for him to preach.

After reading the Taoist priest, he handed over the edict to Yang Zheng, and knew that he was not qualified to interfere in the game between the big shots and left quickly.

The appearance of this edict confirmed Huanyuan's statement, like a huge wall trying to block Yang Zheng from the saint's door.

Yang Zheng held the edict, frowned and said nothing, and his mind was moving quickly. He couldn't tell the intention of King Qi, clearly using the royal power to suppress the saints and forcibly supporting Taoism. At this point, he was no longer targeting him, but Xunzi.

The original intention of King Qi to establish the academy was to use this platform to recruit talents and gather powerful people from hundreds of schools, but in fact, it was to guide the trend of cultivation, get rid of the influence of Jiang as a descendant of Yan Emperor, and achieve the intention of controlling the practitioners of Qi.

Therefore, the royal family must support the Taoist Xuanyuan Sect.

The reason why King Qi set the rules and chose sacrificial wine through the disciple competition was that he was afraid that top-notch people like Xun Sheng would be overwhelmed and suppress the Taoist momentum. Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. Xun Sheng not only had a profound cultivation, but also rarely had an opponent in preaching and educating people.

The rise of Wen Qing and Xiao Bai helped Xun Sheng to be re-elected for two terms of sacrificial wine, which damaged the Taoist face. He only had the formation of the official mainstream school, but could not be the leader of the school's school. If Xun Sheng wins again this year, it will be an unprecedented re-elect for three terms.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the King of Qi finally couldn't sit still and had to come forward in person to obstruct the leader of this year Yang Zheng from taking Xunzi as his teacher. This time, the apprenticeship was not only a private grudge, but also a public opinion trend in the practice circle of Qi, and it is of great significance.

Once the king's order came out, if Yang Zheng insisted on his own actions and had to worship Xunzi, then he would no longer fight against Huanyuan and Taoism, but the towering royal power.

He could give up the idea of ​​starting a family in Qi State, leave with his bed and leave, and go to Zhao State early to confirm his life experience, but the question is, can he escape if he angers the King of Qi? Can Tian Tian and Jimo Tian families also escape easily?

This matter is very important, and it is definitely not the time to act voluntarily.

When Yang Zheng thought of this, he thought to himself, since the King of Qi was not directed at me, there was no need to express his opinion immediately, so I should see what Xunzi said first.

After all, it is a saint who looks down on the world and will never be suppressed by the King of Qi so easily in full view of everyone.

At this time, Xunzi's voice sounded and said leisurely: "The ancestor just said that the king's edict was issued yesterday, why was it delivered to Yang Zheng now? Everything is scheduled, and I will take the disciple first, and everyone present is witness."

Everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.

On one side is King Qi and on the other side are King Xun Sheng, neither of them can offend. No matter who is angry, it may cause the consequences of being buried in a thousand miles. It is hard to escape the destruction of the family. Who dares to express his opinion?

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. With an edict, nothing can be decided. The king is wise and righteous. After knowing the specific situation, he will understand my approach. What's more, this little guy is the protagonist today, and we must respect his own wishes."

Xunzi spoke slowly, neither rush nor slow, and could not hear any emotions, but his meaning was clear and he did not intend to give in. Even a king of a country had to reason, and he could not force his words in public and rob his apprentice from him.

So what about the king's fate? These domineering methods can still work when used on ordinary people, but they are of no use to deal with Xunzi who cultivates the domineering spirit.

What Xunzi is most afraid of is domineering.

Moreover, he had met Yang Zheng in advance that day, and had already figured out the boy's true intentions, so he occupied Renhe and was not afraid to argue with King Qi.

Huanyuan realized that things were not simple and replied from a distance: "I am the party who takes the disciples. The king should first get my consent and gave me the edict yesterday. I thought that Yang Zheng was smart enough to understand what the most correct choice was. He would take the initiative to enter my Taoist sect without the edict of the king."

The noteworthy detail is that the person who came to pass the imperial edict was a famous Taoist priest, not an eunuch in the palace, which seemed serious, as if the imperial edict had been in Huanyuan's hands long ago.

"Since this kid doesn't know the current affairs, I have to ask for an edict, and I dare not let down the king's painstaking efforts. Yang Zheng, the edict is very clear, and I don't need to repeat it, you can understand it. This is your biggest, and it may be your last chance."

The implication is that you should not toast and not eat the punishment. If Yang Zheng dares to disobey his orders, then his life path will come to an end.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and it turned out that both sides had their own opinions, and no one could convince the other party, so he threw this difficult problem back. Either they went against their own wishes or disobeyed the orders. No matter how they chose, they would not get an ideal result.

This question seems to be unsolvable.

He pondered for a long time, looked up and said, "No matter how I choose, I am destined to go against the will of the other party. I want to make sure that you are really up to me to decide?"

The void was quiet, and Xunzi and Huanyuan were both silent.

This question cannot be answered. Both sides have too strong energy and are evenly matched. No one can dominate and overpower the other party's momentum. Therefore, their will will be in a game and will not be able to decide the winner.
