Confucian Sword Fairy

Chapter 135
Song Zhishu bowed, his tone was very light, neither humble nor overbearing.

Even if you know that the person in front of you is the co-lord of the world, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Oh?"

When the middle-aged man heard that his identity was guessed, a little curiosity appeared in his eyes, and he immediately asked, "How did Mr. Song know my identity?"

Regarding Song Zhishu, although the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had never met him, he did know a lot. He knew that he was a real Confucian genius. With the two articles "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", he would definitely pass on his name to future generations.

In fact, if he can't make any great achievements, the other party's name will even be louder than the Great Zhou Emperor.

Because, as long as the inheritance of Confucianism is not cut off, then the "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" can definitely be passed on forever.

As the person who wrote these two Confucian classics, his name will naturally be known all the time.

But the Great Zhou Emperor was still very curious.

He came to Yunzhou in secret, only a few people knew about it, and no forces were alarmed.

But Song Zhishu could still tell at a glance, so he wanted to ask.

"Yunhua Tower belongs to the court property of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Mr. Gongwen is not only the leader of the Confucian King School, but also the Taifu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I can't think of anyone other than Your Majesty who can make Mr. Gongwen like this."

Song Zhishu answered truthfully, in fact, as early as when Li Cexuan said that he was invited by a nobleman, he had doubts, but he was not sure.

But after entering Yunhua Building, and judging from the current situation, the identity of the other party can basically be determined.

It's just that Song Zhishu didn't quite understand why the emperor of Zhou, how honorable he was, came to see him specially. Could it be that it was not so simple just to help Wang Pai win him over?

He was a little confused about this, but since the rightful master has come, there is no need to think about it any further, just wait for the other party to speak.

"Haha, it really is a hero out of a boy."

The emperor of Zhou Dynasty immediately smiled when he heard the words, and looked at Song Zhishu with a pair of eyes, with a little appreciation.

Of course, guessing one's identity is nothing, what he values ​​more is the other party's talent.

That's why I choose to praise.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Song Zhishu continued to cup his hands, and continued: "Actually, I am also grateful to Your Majesty. Your Majesty does not need to be so indifferent."

"Oh? Thank you?" Emperor Da Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what it was, so he stopped and said, "Mr. Song, don't keep the matter of Taihao Sword Sect in mind, it's just my effort, Gu Yun Mr. Song and the Southern Confucianism have also made great contributions to our Great Zhou, and Mr. Song is a person who is valued by the Southern Confucianism. I do these things for a purpose."

Before in Taihao Sword Sect, Song Zhishu angrily denounced the unfairness of the restructuring, which caused an uproar, and the Southern School of Confucianism almost went to war with Mu Changge.

Although it was suppressed in the end, if not for the intervention of the Great Zhou Emperor, it would not have ended so easily.

So the Emperor Da Zhou knew that the other party was thanking him for this matter.

So he opened his mouth so that Song Zhishu didn't have to keep it in mind.

In addition, he also directly expressed the intention in his heart, without any concealment.

Because the Great Zhou Emperor knew that in front of smart people, if he pretended to be false, he might have the opposite effect.

Especially since he knew that Song Zhishu was a true Confucian gentleman, it would be better to directly explain the purpose, so that the two parties would not be restrained when they talked for a while.

"Okay, Mr. Song, come and sit down." Immediately afterwards, Emperor Da Zhou spoke again, inviting Zhishu Song to sit down.

Of course, his tone was very calm, without any emotion in it.

This is the king.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Regarding this, Song Zhishu naturally would not be polite, nodded and walked over.

"Your Majesty, teacher, I will leave first." At this moment, Li Cexuan bowed and said.

My task has been completed, and there must be something that needs to be discussed among the three, so naturally I won't disturb it at this time.

"kindness."

Emperor Da Zhou and Zheng Gongwen nodded one after another.

At the same time, Song Zhishu had already sat in the last seat.

Although he is a Daoist of the Sanxiu League, he is also a great talent relied on by the Southern School of Confucianism.

But in front of him, one is the nominal co-lord of the world, and the other is the Confucian leader of the king's faction, but it is amazing to take it out and put it anywhere. Song Zhi naturally knows what kind of position he should be in.

Seeing this, no matter whether it was the Great Zhou Emperor or Zheng Gongwen, they also secretly nodded.

Regardless of other things, this attitude deserves affirmation.

"Song Xiaoyou, I don't want to go around the bush today. I invite you here today for only one thing, and that is to hope that Song Xiaoyou can join the Confucianism of our king's school. As long as you nod, you can get better resource treatment than Cexuan. At the same time, His Majesty will treat each other as a national soldier."

"Song Xiaoyou doesn't need to give an answer immediately. The old man has a saying that Confucianism pays attention to governing the world, and asks for the way of a gentleman. Therefore, scholars will more or less hold some official positions in my Dazhou, just like Brother Gu Yun, so Song Xiaoyou can take good care of it. consider."

Zheng Gongwen spoke first, and directly stated his purpose, as expected, to win over.

Without any concealment, it showed a good attitude and made a promise.

Especially that sentence, better than Cexuan.

This is enough to show that Wang faction attaches great importance to Song Zhishu.

After all, Li Cexuan is already the most outstanding scholar of Wang School Confucianism, so it is conceivable that he attaches great importance to it.

At this time, Song Zhishu who heard this did not speak, but remained silent.

He already knew the purpose of this trip.

But when the other party said it, he was still a little surprised, it was really too direct.

"Mr. Gongwen, you should also know that the student's first teacher was Mr. Wen Yuan, and later he was taught by the fortunate Mr. Gu Yun, and Mr. Gu Yun did not hesitate to oppose the Taihao Sword Sect for me. This kind of kindness, the students must definitely I will bear in mind, I know your intentions, but please forgive me for being difficult to obey."

Song Zhishu thought about it for a while, but he still spoke, and made a clear refusal, and the reason has been made clear.

Yes, if counted, Zhou Wenyuan was indeed Song Zhishu's first teacher.

After all, there are many things taught by the other party.

All kinds of knowledge about Confucianism, as long as you ask, Zhou Wenyuan will answer every question, even if you don't know the answer sometimes, you will guide it carefully.

So in Song Zhishu's eyes, Zhou Wenyuan was his teacher, as well as Gu Yun's great Confucianism.

Therefore, regardless of the previous kindness of the other party.

Song Zhishu would not choose to break away from Southern Confucianism, and recited "The Doctrine of the Mean" at the Longyuan Conference, also to do something.

"I see."

On the opposite side, the great Confucian Zheng Gongwen frowned.

His original intention was that Song Zhishu could think about it and not rush to answer.

It's just that the other party's current attitude is already very obvious, if I say more, I'm afraid it will backfire.

As a matter of fact, Zheng Gongwen was somewhat relieved by Song Zhishu's answer. He was a Confucian disciple first, and then the leader of the Wang faction. Song Zhishu's approach was exactly that of a Confucian gentleman. The character is really quite good.

But unfortunately.
"Mr. Song is unwilling to join the Confucianism of the King's School. This matter cannot be forced."

Finally, Emperor Da Zhou spoke, thought for a while, and continued: "However, I am very optimistic about Mr. Song. If Mr. Song is willing, he can come to my Da Zhou to take up a vacant position. Of course, Mr. Song doesn't have to do anything. What it was before, it will still be what it will be in the future, in this regard, I can assure you."

After all, it is the co-lord of the world, and the way of speaking is different. Song Zhishu was given a choice, and he did not force himself not to speak.

He also said that he would not let the other party do anything, and this kind of wooing would not be annoying.

But if you think about it carefully.

If it's just for this matter, is it necessary for the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come in person?

Song Zhishu naturally knew, so he didn't nod or agree. After thinking for a while, he looked up at the other party.

The meaning is obvious, just want to know what the purpose of the Great Zhou Emperor is.

"I still can't hide it from Song Xiaoyou."

Emperor Da Zhou couldn't help smiling when he saw this situation, but soon, his expression became extremely solemn, and he stood up directly and said: "Mr. Song should know that although the Beizhou demons have been repulsed temporarily, we have paid a lot of price. , and as time goes by, the world will become more and more chaotic, and when the sage's methods completely fail, it will be the moment when the world is in chaos."

"So, now all the sects in the world have chosen to unite, just to deal with the crisis, but I didn't know about the union of the sects in the world, especially recently, Mu Changge, the Taoist of the Taihao Sword Sect, , acting extremely domineeringly, subduing various forces, I believe that if this continues, the Zongmen Alliance will eventually form an extremely powerful force, and by then."

"At that time, what will Da Zhou do with himself?"

Song Zhishu took the words, understood what Emperor Da Zhou meant, and said after a moment of silence: "But these seem to have nothing to do with me. At best, I am just a Daoist of the Sanxiu Alliance, and the Zongmen Alliance cannot intervene."

The Emperor of Great Zhou was afraid of the major forces headed by Taihao Sword Sect.

Actually this is normal.

After all, Da Zhou is the nominal co-lord of the world. Although he does not have absolute strength, most of the time, dealing with Beizhou monsters is done in the name of Da Zhou.

But once the Zongmen Alliance is established, it will definitely surpass the Great Zhou Dynasty directly. At that time, what should the Great Zhou do?

The result of being overwhelmed can only be annexed.

and so.

Song Zhishu already roughly knew what the other party was thinking.

"Mr. Song is a smart man."

Emperor Da Zhou pondered, and continued: "And Mr. Song needn't underestimate himself. I know Mr. Song has been transformed into a sage and has the appearance of a sage. In the future, if there is a chaos of demons, it will not be enough to rely solely on the sect's power, and there are not enough Mahayana monks today."

"But in the future, it will be different if Mr. Song can walk on the holy path and become a saint. Therefore, I hope that, no matter now or in the future, at critical times, Mr. Song can stand on the side of Da Zhou. In this way, the world will The pattern will approach equilibrium."

"In addition, Mr. Song is also a Daoist of the Sanxiu League, with great influence. I believe Mr. Song does not want it. Before the chaos of demons came, accidents occurred within my human race. I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the co-lord of the world, but It’s only in name only.”

"But if the sect forces are completely united, this name may not exist anymore. Mr. Song should understand."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Da Zhou turned around and looked at Song Zhishu with his eyes: "Of course, Mr. Song is also during this period, so it is not without benefits."
