Chapter 117 What happened back then
When the petition was burned, it turned into wisps of green smoke that reached the ears of heaven.

The next moment, a vast will descended like Mount Yujing.

Miaoyu understood in an instant that the ritual that originally required at least three days was now enough.

The ancestral Qi of heaven and earth in the ritual was tempered by the vast will, and the rules of heaven and earth became readily available.

She took out a blank golden talisman and handed it to Zhou Tieyi.

Although this talisman paper is thin, it is as tough as if it were forged from gold.

Zhou Tieyi felt the difference of the talisman paper, so he didn't ask for the talisman pen.

He picked up the inkstone next to him, used his fingers as a knife, condensed his blood and energy, and cut his wrist. His own blood flowed out and fell onto the inkstone.

Zhou Tieyi opened the jade bottle, wrapped the country's destiny like smoke and cloud into his essence and blood, and used his sword as a pen.

A pull.

A blood line was like a living thing, with one end connected to the inkstone and the other end connected to Zhou Tieyi's fingertips.

The blood ink glowed with red gold in the sunlight, as if it had just been poured out of a furnace.

The writing frightens the gods and ghosts.

Zhou Tieyi doesn't need a seal, he just looks inward at the Green Emperor, and the Green Emperor is the best way to suppress him.

One stroke at a time.

The Green Emperor's talisman appears.

All the flowers and trees around are in full bloom.

The talisman head fell down and the talisman core condensed.

The ancestral Qi of heaven and earth condensed, and a muffled thunder sounded in the clear sky, alarming the entire Yujing Mountain!
······
Tai College.

Zhang Shizhong and Che Wenyuan both looked up at the sky. It was a clear blue sky. Then there was a loud thunder and the sky suddenly darkened.

But this is normal, after all, it is spring thunder.

"It looks like the day is going to change color."

Zhang Shizhong sighed. With his level of practice, even if it was not a Taoist method, he could still communicate with heaven.

Che Wenyuan sighed, "It should be in the next one or two days."

What he meant was that Mei Qingchen would die on his knees in front of the Noon Gate in the next one or two days.

Now, the emperor has only two choices. The first is to come out in person and pull Mei Qingchen aside, pretending that the emperor and his subjects are in harmony and are reconciling the old relationship.

But in that case, the emperor's plan of not meeting with court officials for a hundred days and never attending court again would be ruined, and it would also delay the time for him to practice Taoism.

Even if the emperor took revenge later, Confucianism would be able to find a way to resolve it.

After all, Confucianism is also protected by the legacy of the saints! The other hundred schools of thought, the military school, the legal school, and the agricultural school will all support Confucianism! Even in addition to Taoism, Buddhism will also turn!
In that case, even the emperor who is invincible in the world in Yujing Mountain would need to reconsider this matter.

Second, if the emperor is determined to practice Taoism, he will let Mei Qingchen kneel and die in front of the Noon Gate. This is also an option for Confucianism.

It hinders the speed of the emperor's practice. At the same time, a sage appeared in their generation, and his teachings spread throughout the world, becoming the forerunner of the saints!

Even though he encountered obstacles in the court, he understood the emperor's intention and no longer pinned unrealistic ideas on it. He no longer had to worry about making the emperor change his mind, and could concentrate on using the titles of sages to cultivate a saint of his own.

This world will not stop moving without Your Majesty!
"No news from the palace yet?"

Che Wenyuan asked.

"No news yet."

Zhang Shizhong was worried, because no news was also news.

Che Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty should place his hopes on the boy from the Zhou family."

After all, during this period of time, Zhou Tieyi invited this Confucian sage to have a meal, which delayed the time for a few days.

This is not an easy task. Even if a second-rank master comes, he may not be able to do better.

"What a pity for the boy from the Zhou family." Che Wenyuan sighed.

His sigh was like the feeling of a beautiful woman being a thief.

"I heard that when the meal was delivered that day, the boy from the Zhou family asked Brother Qingchen to accept him as his apprentice. This made Brother Qingchen hesitate for a long time."

The meal that night had been recorded by the historians as the "Wu Men Banquet". Every detail was extremely detailed, and they were waiting to announce it to the world after Mei Qingchen died.

Zhang Shizhong said, "The ancient sage Mencius said that you can't have your cake and eat it too. It would be great if we had discovered the talent of this Zhou family member earlier."

Che Wenyuan frowned, "I heard that the Taoist fish dragon originally wanted to send her son to our Confucian school. Who enlightened her son?"

Zhang Shizhong reacted and realized that when Zhou Tieyi studied Confucianism, he was naturally not taught by an ordinary teacher, but Zuo Zhisheng, an assistant doctoral student at the Imperial Academy.

No matter how scheming Zhou Tieyi was, he was only eight years old at that time and should have been able to see something.

"Zuo Zhisheng, come to Wuyutai to see me."

Zuo Zhisheng, who was preparing for his lessons at Taixue College, was slightly puzzled when he heard the voice of the chief priest.

How can the chief priest find himself?
Wait, Wu Yu Stage!

This is a place for sacrifices, and for Confucianists, it is also an auspicious place.

Although he did not study prophecies and divination, he still knew a little about it.

I have been a PhD assistant for ten years...

Now the chief priest is summoned at Wuyoutai...

This is a good sign!

Zuo Zhisheng quickly tidied up his clothes and headed towards the Wu Yu Stage.

He was walking too fast on the road, and when he turned a corner, he bumped into a student from Tai Academy.

The student didn't think anything of it at first, but when he saw Zuo Zhisheng, he was immediately scared like a quail.

This assistant lecturer is famous for being strict in the Imperial College! He is in charge of etiquette!
"Dr. Zuo, I, your student..."

The student was still thinking about how to apologize.

Zuo Zhisheng waved his hand impatiently and walked away.

The student looked confused. Why did this 'Zuo Yaoming' change his temper today?
He looked up at the sky. Is the weather really going to change?

Zuo Zhisheng quickly climbed up the Wuyou Terrace and saw the chief priest and the Five Classics Doctor Che Wenyuan playing chess.

He bowed respectfully to the chief priest, without any error in etiquette, and then bowed to Che Wenyuan. Even though Che Wenyuan was younger than him, he was a serious doctor of the Five Classics after all, and would have the opportunity to become a great figure of the third rank in Confucianism in the future.

Zhang Shizhong said, "When the Zhou family asked you to teach Zhou Tieyi, you should tell me everything that happened in between."

Although nearly ten years have passed, Zuo Zhisheng did not dare to be negligent when it came to Zhou Tieyi today, and thought about it seriously.

He said, "At that time, the steward of the Zhou Mansion, Gongshu Sheng, came to invite me to teach..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall the past.

After entering the Zhou Mansion, he was naturally treated with courtesy, and then went to the Zhou Mansion's school to wait.

Zhou Tieyi had just learned to read at that time and was born into a military general's family, so he liked to play. He went to the parade grounds with a wooden sword and pretended to be a general and fight with his bodyguards.

Zuo Zhisheng waited in the school for a long time.

Gongshu Sheng did go to inform Zhou Tieyi, but he only notified him once and there was no follow-up.

Zuo Zhisheng became furious and grabbed a servant and asked where Zhou Tieyi was.

The servants knew that the other party was a teacher, so they could only answer honestly that they were in the training ground.

Zuo Zhisheng asked his servants to take him to the training ground. When he saw Zhou Tieyi playing with the guards like a mud monkey, he became furious and cursed, "You don't follow the teachings of the saints and don't know the etiquette. You are willing to not study and play with these mud monkeys. Don't even think about becoming a disciple of my Confucian saint in this life!"

After saying that, he left angrily.
