Chapter 312 Audacious
"The great righteousness backfires!"

Among the crowd of onlookers were the madmen Zhang San and Wang Mingyi.

When Wang Mingyi saw the blazing white flames rising from Li Jianhu's body, he understood that this did not mean that Li Jianhu had done anything unjust, but that Li Jianhu had doubted what he had learned.

And the theoretical basis of what he doubts is likely to be another complete path, which can have an impact on the righteous spirit.

The divergent paths were the reason for the backlash of the righteous spirit before their eyes, and not the injustice done by Li Jianhu!
But Confucianism has no way to explain this point.

Because what Confucianism has always advocated is that the great and upright energy is the righteous energy in the human heart and the righteous energy of heaven and earth.

Now that the righteous spirit has backfired, it means you are wrong, and there is no other reason!

During the Five Dynasties of the North and South, a third-rank scholar wanted to emulate the ancient sage Mozi recorded in classics and practice Mohism because of political struggles, but he eventually caused a backlash from his righteous spirit.

The entire Confucian school ended up nailing this great scholar to the pillar of shame.

This incident eventually led to the Battle of Changhenting between the State of Chen, which was supported by Confucianism, and the State of Zhao, which was supported by Mohism!

More than 100,000 soldiers from both countries were killed or wounded, and countless civilians were killed or wounded.

This is the dispute over the orthodoxy!
Zhang San's eyes were burning, and there was no trace of sarcasm or arrogance on his face. Instead, he was more serious than ever before, and even kept drinking the wine in the jug, not noticing when it was all gone.

Wang Mingyi was beside Zhang San, and asked softly, "How did you resist the backlash of Haoran's righteousness?"

When Zhang San switched from Confucianism to studying classical Buddhism, it seemed that he had abandoned his own cultivation, but the pain he felt was probably not something that could be understood by outsiders.

Thinking of this, he looked over the crowd and towards the end of the God-Slaying Division officials, where a white-haired young man sat. His eyes were sharp, and he was also looking intently at Li Jianhu in the field.

The white-haired young man was none other than Mei Juncang, the son of the great Confucian scholar Mei Qingchen. At the beginning, he had not yet achieved the sixth level of Confucianism and had only condensed the great moral energy, so he was only at the seventh level. However, because his mind was completely defeated, his hair turned white overnight, and his Confucianism cultivation regressed to nothing. If it were not for a third-grade small Zhoutian pill protecting him, he would probably have returned to the underworld long ago.

Therefore, he was more aware of how dangerous Li Jianhu, who had already realized the great righteousness, was now!

Mei Juncang seemed to sense Wang Mingyi's gaze. He tilted his head and looked at Wang Mingyi and Zhang San in the crowd, revealing an inexplicable smile. Then he turned his head and looked at Li Jianhu in the field.

Zhang San's eyes tightened and he sighed, "How can I be qualified? When I switched to the famous school, I just relied on my youth and arrogance to get through the most difficult stage by using the famous school's method of stealing names and realities."

He raised the hand holding the wine jug and pointed to the center. "And he was taught a new path by others. This path is completely different from the Confucian path, so today they are on different paths!"

After that, he thought about it seriously and showed an unbelievable expression, "In just two days, what on earth did he teach? Even if a saint was resurrected, it would not be more than this!"

What Zhang San said was not an exaggeration at all.

Without knowing that Li Jianhu had been under Zhou Tieyi's guidance from the very beginning.

Just imagine that one person teaches another person for two days. In just two days, his or her cognition of the entire society is completely changed. Moreover, this cognition is not destroyed, but rebuilt!

It is to rebuild a road that is no less magnificent than a proven road, so as to trigger the backlash of righteous energy!

Even if a saint has the power to educate, it is only this much!
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Li Jianhu, the son of a miner, is truly a genius, the kind of enlightened person who can say "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening"!
"Or maybe he really is a genius!"

Wang Mingyi pointed out another possibility.

It is not groundless to judge that Li Jianhu is a genius. After all, he was able to comprehend the righteousness of the eighth level. Even if there are various coincidences, it now proves that this miner's son may really be a genius and a true seed of Confucianism!

At this moment, the Chief Censor of the Censorate could not care about anything else. He half-raised his body, trying to stop the backlash of Li Jianhu's righteous energy.

Zhou Tieyi suddenly sighed and said, "Master Deng, this case is under the watch of the emperor, the empress, and the people of the world. What do you Confucians want to do?"

Deng Zhenquan's whole body froze. He looked with difficulty at Cui Wanxia, ​​a legalist who should have been vaguely leaning towards him. Cui Wanxia was also looking at him expressionlessly.

Even though Zhou Tieyi and Cui Wanxia did not use any magic, he, the Chief Censor of the Censorate and a third-rank Confucian scholar, still felt his mind wavering, and even his own righteous energy was vaguely implicated and boiling.

After the incident at Bingyuan, everyone in the world knew that Zhou Tieyi had discovered the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] and mastered the fighting skill of [Five Finger Mountain], which enabled him to overpower a third-grade god who could descend from a distance.

But now, Deng Zhenquan would rather Zhou Tieyi use the "Five Finger Mountain" on him than say these words that put himself and the Confucians in a dilemma.

His face turned blue and purple as he stared closely at Li Jianhu, who kept asking himself questions and burning with anger.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to sigh at Li Jianhu's extraordinary talent or at his extreme ignorance!
Confucius said: Only the wisest and the stupidest are unchangeable!

In Zhou Tieyi's mind.

The novel classic that was condensed from the great righteousness and mirage was also burning brightly.

The words on "Sword Opens a New Sky" became blurred.

This is the foundation of Li Jianhu.

But this is not Li Jianhu's foundation!
At the beginning, Zhou Tieyi used the method of grafting to bestow the Confucian tradition of "loyalty and righteousness" on Li Jianhu, helping Li Jianhu to understand the great righteousness.

But this is someone else's tradition.

If he really goes down this path to the end, Li Jianhu will hardly achieve great success!
Not to mention Zhou Tieyi's expectations of him.

The sword opens a new world!

So Zhou Tieyi told Li Jianhu two days ago that in order to break the shackles of class, everyone needs great courage. This courage can even originate from selfishness, but there must be a determination to die!

If Li Jianhu still hasn't come to his senses at this point, it means that the person he chose is wrong.

If he kept Li Jianhu, the final achievement of this book "Sword Opens a New World" would not be able to help him regain the first rank, or even become a saint. It would be better to let Li Jianhu be burned by the righteous energy here, and use him as a sharp sword to attack Confucianism.

So no matter whether Li Jianhu is alive and has found a new path, or he dies here, Zhou Tieyi will win. This is a win-win situation for Zhou Tieyi!
But this will make me re-examine how the people of this era will choose to live, and whether my own theories are suitable for the people of this era.

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and gave others a way out. He sighed softly.

Use mirage as ink and what you have learned as the pen.

[Episode 4]

The good nature results from the evil nature. If you can see your true mind, you can illuminate the world!
After he put pen to paper, "The Sword Opens a New World" turned a new chapter, and the burning righteous spirit also wanted to ignite along Zhou Tieyi's mind.

However, this ignited righteous energy is light, not fire, to Zhou Tieyi.

So he can't be hurt at all.

This new chapter has not yet had any specific content, but it has a beginning, like a spiritual seed that fell into Li Jianhu's mind through an unimaginable mysterious connection.

His gloomy gaze happened to fall on Zhou Tieyi at this moment, and he saw the inexplicable smile in Zhou Tieyi's eyes.

Suddenly, an inexplicable understanding lingered in Li Jianhu's heart.

He clasped his fists and said, "I, Li Jianhu, am suing the Wu family of Shantong Mansion for embezzling the money used to bury the miners. I am suing the He family of Shantong Mansion for condoning their relatives, the Wu family, to privately mine inkstones. The He family is colluding with the Ning Wang Mansion to do business. I am suing the officials headed by Confucianism and Zhou Hou for causing trouble due to party disputes. I am suing the emperor for not stopping the investigation and implicating the people!"

After saying these words.

Li Jianhu's mind relaxed as never before, and he could see clearly only now.

I sued the case from beginning to end.

They are all extensions of the criticisms of the Tianjing government.

His justice is not laughable.

What’s funny is that this justice has been exploited by others from beginning to end!

The distinction between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans is not a reason to divide people into high and low classes.

It’s not because the common people can’t sue their superiors.

It is the oppression of class itself.

Want to break this.

It is necessary to make everyone his own "scholar", the prerequisite is to have the courage to break the class and be willing to pay the price for it!
So this should start with ourselves.

Even though he initially only wanted money for his father's funeral, as the situation has evolved to now, he should not only see the money for his father's funeral, but also the manipulation of the people by the officials throughout the entire process.

I am here and should speak out this matter on behalf of the people of the world!

After thinking this through, his boiling righteous energy no longer burned his mind, and it settled down again, transforming into a layer of bright light, sparkling brightly in the shadows cast by the clouds!

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Tieyi's laughter was like thunder and lasted for a long time.

He looked left and right.

Looking at the jurors on both sides whose faces were as exciting as an overturned dye vat.

Finally, he stopped laughing and said to Chief Justice Deng Zhenquan and Minister of Justice Cui Wanxia, ​​"This complaint is not light and difficult to handle. What do you two think we should do? Should we all avoid the case, or should we take this troublesome man away and give him a good beating so that he can sort out his thoughts before filing a complaint?"

Zhou Tieyi's words were like a thorn that pierced directly through the most essential things of the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this time, the onlookers no longer cheered for Zhou Tieyi, and they also vaguely came to their senses.

They and Zhou Tieyi are from the same hometown, and other than that, they have no other identities.

"it is good!"

After listening to Li Jianhu's new complaint, Zhang San was the first to cheer. He raised the wine jug and was about to drink, only to find that the wine in the jug was empty.

Cui Wanxia took a deep breath and looked at the "audacious" Li Jianhu. He didn't know who to send this new "complaint" to for review.

If the case is really sent back to His Majesty and he is allowed to personally judge it, it seems that He is also one of the people being sued.

He sighed silently.

This was the most difficult case he had ever tried in his life.

He also estimated that if he failed to judge this case well, his future as a legalist would be interrupted and he would never make any further progress.

Deng Zhenquan loosened his clenched hands and sighed softly, "The case still needs someone to try it, so why not try it from the bottom up, layer by layer."

Zhou Tieyi looked at Deng Zhenquan, "Then how should the trial end?"

Deng Zhenquan looked at him intently, "I will go and talk to His Majesty myself."

Zhou Tieyi looked at the silent people and said with a smile, "Since I am the presiding judge, I naturally cannot let you, the jury, to make the decision alone. You should make the decision yourself!"

Cui Wanxia thought for a moment, then bowed to Zhou Tieyi and said, "Lord Zhou is righteous."
