Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 66 Saint Weather
  At the same time, Dayan Palace.

Today is particularly lively. It is said that after the famous Qi Xingyan was reinstated, he taught classes in Jingxinzhai, teaching princes and nobles, attracting many officials and scholars to watch, as well as Imperial Academy students and officials in government offices.

Lu Mingyuan originally didn't want to go. He had learned it for the first half of his life and had a hard time getting rid of it. There were only two things he hated most.

Attend lectures and exams.

But for some reason, Qi Muxue had a hard time today and insisted on dragging him to listen. In order to save face, she went to the harem to listen.

Jingxinzhai is a palace private school established by Emperor Yong'an for the children of wealthy families such as the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion. There is not a single child from a poor family in it.

What kind of person is Qi Xingyan?

No one present knew this. Of course, there would be other great scholars teaching in Jingxinzhai from time to time, but Qi Xingyan was not an ordinary great scholar.

To be precise, Qi Xingyan, in addition to his status as a great scholar and the former headmaster of Shengjing Academy, he also had a more important identity.

Sacred descendants.

Lisheng is the third saint in ancient times.

It existed long before the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom, and even when the ancestors of the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, established the country.

The doctrine of rites and saints is used even in all countries today. Everything in the country must be in order. It is necessary to "respect rituals and music and establish order", including the way of interaction between monarch and ministers. Most of today's official systems are related to it. It advocates "fraternity and universal love".

Even the Confucian sages of later generations pointed out the shortcomings of the sage, but it is undeniable that the status of the sage of rites is extremely high.

In the year of Lisheng's consecration, he was named the Imperial Master by the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and was assigned to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

There are seven disciples under the Holy See of Li, who are preaching all over the world and spreading "Li Xue". However, he himself has been missing since he preached all over the world and asked his disciples to go out to preach.

Qi Xingyan is from the lineage of the eldest disciple, and the eldest disciple happens to be the son of the sage Li, so there is no dispute that he is a descendant of the sage Confucianism.

In fact, the Qi family has not been so smooth sailing. After thousands of years, it has declined several times. It only relies on the blessing of the saint and the salary from the court to make a living. It is no different from a poor family.

So Qi Xingyan, who was only sixteen years old, couldn't stand this situation and believed that his family had neglected the teachings of the saints, so he drifted alone and went to the south to study. Finally, he arrived at Jinling Mansion and worshiped in the book school of a great sage. After living in the Han Dynasty, he passed the imperial examination and finally became a Jinshi from a Han Confucian. He then went to a Confucian temple to study. After completing his studies, he became the fifth grade in the middle school.

However, these are just the tip of the iceberg in his youth, and are probably the reason why he is so popular.

After many hardships, he became a great scholar. Later, because of his upright and dignified character, he was reused by Emperor Yong'an.

Today, Lu Mingyuan saw many people gathered outside the study to listen attentively to the lecture. He couldn't help but yawned when he looked at the four words written on the podium today - "sage atmosphere".

But he still had to give him face as an old man, so he could only cheer up.

"May I ask Mr. Qi, what is the image of a saint? In other words, what is a saint?" asked a young Confucian scholar.

Qi Xingyan smiled slightly and gave the answer:
  "The way of the saint is nameless and fearless."

"When a person ignores the disgrace of reputation, ignores the fear and fear in his heart, and integrates his character and character into one, flawless, he can achieve the image of a saint."

Qi Xingyan's explanation also made the officials and Confucian students present think about it.

Could it be said that once a person's character and character reach perfection, he can become a saint?

Lu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, but had no idea.

"hehe."

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Qi Xingyan chuckled and explained: "I can give you a question for everyone to think about. If there is a person in front of you who is not related to you, he is about to be hit by a panic carriage. You Although I can save him, you will be killed by a carriage in his place."

"You want to save it or not."

Faced with this problem, many people were stunned. Lu Mingyuan thought for a while, but found that this problem was very similar to the trolley problem in his previous life.

Save or not, someone will die.

Qi Muxue on the side found this question very interesting, so he answered first:
  "If it was a relative, he would naturally save it. If it was a stranger, the person would have been dead long ago by the time he thought about it, so of course the first reaction would be not to save him."

She glanced at Lu Mingyuan, blinked and said, "Master Ren Sheng said that a gentleman will never put himself in danger unless he stands under a dangerous wall."

Regarding this explanation, Qi Muxue gave a quick and good answer, and many people nodded secretly.

She is indeed the most talented woman in the Imperial Capital.

The daughter of a great Confucian is indeed powerful.

Lu Mingyuan, who was beside her, glanced at her helplessly and couldn't help but smile.

This answer seems to be what he told the other party?

Except for Qi Muxue, basically no one at the scene could give a good answer.

Many of them ask themselves, and in their assumptions, they will choose to save people without hesitation.

Because this is an assumption.

But when they are really in danger, they may not have the courage, determination and ability to save others.

Not saving is the best choice and the wisest choice.

Even Qi Xingyan nodded slowly when he heard his daughter's answer:
  "Muxue, it seems that your knowledge has improved recently."

"It's true that a gentleman doesn't help." Qi Muxue's answer was confirmed.

But then Qi Xingyan asked everyone another question.

"If he were a saint, do you think he would be saved?"

Faced with such rhetorical questions, many students choked on the spot. Under the influence of the previous questions, they now do not know how to think and dare not answer.

At this moment.

Qi Xingyan locked his eyes on Lu Mingyuan and chuckled:

"What do you think, His Highness the Sixth Prince, the saint will make?"

Lu Mingyuan saw Qi Xingyan looking at him, thought for a moment and said:

"Saint, he should be able to save me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lu Mingyuan. They were confused, confused, and even more weird.

"Why?"

Qi Xingyan continued to smile and asked.

Lu Mingyuan smiled lightly and said with deep eyes: "There are so many reasons in the world, because he is a saint and he will do his duty."

After hearing Lu Mingyuan's answer, Qi Xingyan showed a gentle smile.

"It seems that His Highness the Sixth Prince already knows what a saint is."

He seemed satisfied with his answer.

Saint, do your duty.

Although this question was very simple, it made Lu Mingyuan think a lot.

This is not just a problem.

But a real situation.

What if the person in front of the carriage was replaced by a group of people?
  In other words, what about another country?

To be more extreme, consider the whole world.

What a saint.

He is the person who can stand up when the whole world collapses and everyone is running away.

Lu Mingyuan believed that he could not be a saint.

Qi Xingyan still made an interpretation: "Saints can save because the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you want to become a saint, saving people is the most basic condition. If there is hesitation, hesitation, or evasion, then you are not worthy of becoming a saint." Saint. Of course, if someone can save people without hesitation, then he or she is initially qualified to have the image of a saint."

All the students present listened attentively. Scholar Chen Ke, who was the principal of Wenyuan Pavilion, was also among them, listening intently.

Hearing Lu Mingyuan's words of duty, admiration appeared in his eyes.

Being able to answer questions so quickly, the Sixth Prince is really awesome.

Of course, many people think that Lu Mingyuan is just lucky.

After class.

Qi Muxue found Qi Xingyan and asked with expectation in her eyes:
  "What does Father think?"

Qi Xingyan nodded lightly: "This boy is really good. He thinks deeply about problems and responds quickly. Although he looks ordinary, he is a potential stock. He is much better than the eldest prince Lu Changfeng."

Qi Muxue's fair face showed embarrassment: "Actually, the truth of my daughter's answer was what he told me."

"Oh?"

After Qi Xingyan learned the news, he showed great interest.

"If that's the case, then the sixth prince is hiding too deeply."

While the two were talking, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from the palace.

Let the two people look at him.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning came into the palace, causing countless people to panic.

The imperial troops guarding the palace gathered to guard the gate, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Even Lu Mingyuan of Qingzhu Palace saw this situation and saw his mother Wang Zhaoyan walking over anxiously with the palace goddess.

told him a piece of news.

Your Majesty, I'm sick.
