Chapter 227: Yin-Yang gambling!

Wait until Jia Cong opens his eyes.

Then he saw that the face of Li Gui, the great Legalist scholar in front of him, was full of respect.

“I am Li Gui, a junior student. I am here to meet you, sir!”

In full view of everyone, Li Gui bowed deeply in public.

This time, what was performed was the disciple’s etiquette!

“Sir, why is this?”

“It is an honor for me that you can come to the academy to watch the ceremony today.”

Jia Cong reached out and helped Li Gui up.

But unexpectedly, Li Gui had a serious expression.

“There is no order in learning, the one who is more accomplished is the teacher!”

“Teacher, your knowledge of Legalism far exceeds that of my students. I should treat you with respect as a teacher!”

Legalism, also known as the School of Criminal Law in the ancient pre-Qin period.

Since Shang Yang’s reforms to strengthen Qin, his reputation has risen.

It was originally the most popular among the hundreds of schools of thought.

All the princes of various countries longed for it, and its influence at that time far exceeded that of Confucianism.

However, after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and the Han Dynasty was established, Confucianism flourished.

It is true that the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools of thought share common rules and work towards the same goal.

But the interior is not monolithic either.

Whichever company prospers will make greater profits in the future.

Nowadays, all scholars claim to be disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and the Confucius family is undoubtedly the most prominent.

It would be fine if it continued like this, and other schools of Confucianism and Taoism would just have to accept it.

A little benefit is better than no benefit.

It just so happened that at this time, Jia Cong took a clear stand and fought against the Kong family. Before that, he relied on various calculations to cause the Kong family to lose masters one after another.

This allowed many schools of Confucianism and Taoism to see opportunities.

Li Gui came to Beijing this time with a research mind.

I want to see with my own eyes whether Jia Cong is really capable of fighting against the Kong family.

Who would have thought that Jia Cong would give them a wake-up call right away.

In just a few words, the rules are revealed and the sages are worshipped!
This is something that even Li Gui, a great scholar of the Legalists, could not do!
I was immediately convinced.

“I have lived in seclusion for many years, but I don’t know that there are people who are better than me and there are higher powers than me!”

“Today I am able to meet you, sir, and I see the opportunity for our legal school to flourish.”

“I would like to teach at Dongli Academy. I beg you to take me in!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Gui was very respectful, bent down and began to pray.

After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Another great scholar!
Including the great scholar Gongshu Yuan from the Gongshu family!
Yun Chengzi, the successor of the Gexian School’s alchemy!
Today is only the first day that Jia Cong Academy is open, and it has already accepted two great scholars.

There is also an alchemist whose status is not much lower than Hongru.

Moreover, Li Gui is no ordinary scholar.

The most outstanding members of the Legalist School at that time already had the cultivation level of a late-stage great scholar.

He lived in seclusion in Shu for a hundred years. It is no exaggeration to say that he has many students and disciples all over the world!

Just by writing a few letters, you can attract a large number of Legalist talents with your own appeal!

As such, the teaching staff of Dongli Academy can no longer be described as talented.

Only Lord He from the cabinet felt a little confused when he saw this scene.

His teacher treated Marquis Jing’an with the courtesy of a disciple and called him “Sir”.

Then when I see Marquis Jing’an again in the future, won’t I have to call him Master?
This……

It’s hard to comment!

……

Jia Cong was so smart that he guessed most of Li Gui’s thoughts in a matter of seconds.

Suddenly I felt enlightened.

Although the Kong family is powerful, they are not without potential rivals.

If the Legalists make good use of this, it can become a sharp sword to pierce the Kong family.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong immediately made the decision.

“It is an honor for the students of the academy that you can teach here.”

“Jia Cong is willing to hire you as the principal of the academy!”

The school principal is responsible for enforcing school rules, examining, teaching and guiding, and serving as a role model for teachers.

Li Gui was a great scholar of the Legalist school and was highly respected.

There is no one more suitable for this position than him.

“Thank you, sir!” Li Gui happily bowed in response.

……

After Li Gui, no more guests arrived.

After a cup of tea, there was a burst of cheers outside the academy.

The Shunde Emperor’s dragon chariot arrived.

There is no doubt about the importance of Dongli Academy in the heart of Emperor Shunde.

Tens of thousands of students gathered together, and it seemed like nothing happened.

In fact, it is tight inside and loose outside.

From Shenjing City to the academy, there are spies from the Imperial City Bureau and the Embroidered Uniform Guard everywhere.

Even the Ziwei Division sent out a number of worshippers to hide in the dark.

What happened here was reported to Emperor Shunde immediately.

Even Emperor Shunde himself did not expect this.

On the first day of the academy’s opening alone, two great scholars and an alchemist from the Gexian school joined.

This shows Jia Cong’s current prestige.

“See Your Majesty!”

The dragon chariot arrived at the academy.

Everyone bowed according to their status.

“Stand up, I am not in the palace today. My identity is the headmaster of Dongli Academy.”

“There’s not that much etiquette.”

Emperor Shunde stepped down from the dragon chariot and performed a show of respect for the wise and the humble.

Have a brief exchange with Jia Cong.

He also greeted Gongshu Yuan, the head of the Gongshu family, Li Gui of the Legalist school, and the teachers of the academy.

Thanks to Jia Cong’s generosity.

As of today, there are a total of twenty-eight great scholars of the third realm in the academy!
They come from all over the world, covering all major schools of Confucianism and Taoism.

Legalists, famous scholars, generalists, farmers, novelists, strategists, and so on!

Jia Cong now thinks that this may not have been without the influence of various major schools of Confucianism and Taoism.

In addition, there are more than 50 teaching assistants and academic recorders, all of whom are talented and will hopefully become second-level Confucian scholars who break through to the realm of great Confucian scholars in the future.

……

“Your Majesty, it’s almost time to announce the opening of the hospital!”

It was the end of the Si hour and noon was approaching.

Xia Shouzhong came forward and reminded in a low voice.

“it is good!”

Emperor Shunde nodded and was about to take everyone to the outside of the academy to talk a few words.

But at this moment, the void shook!
A terrifying and majestic literary aura swept in from the south like a long dragon!

“Marquis Jing’an established a college today. I came here uninvited. I hope you will forgive me!”

A cold voice sounded from the sky.

The pressure extends over an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

In the literary atmosphere, there was a man wearing a Confucian robe with a Tai Chi Yin-Yang pattern on his back.

The figure of a middle-aged man who looks like a Confucian but is not a Confucian, and looks like a Taoist but is not a Taoist appears.

The overwhelming aura connects heaven and earth, and while it leverages the power of heaven and earth, it also carries a faint feeling of claiming to be heaven and earth.

This power alone shows that he is not an ordinary scholar.

His strength is even higher than that of Li Gui, a late-stage great scholar, and he is at the half-step fifth realm.

……

“Zuo Minghui!”

Beside Jia Cong, Li Gui’s expression suddenly became cold.

The feud between the Legalists and the Yin-Yang School can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and the resentment has accumulated over countless years.

“Be careful, sir.”

“This is the current leader of the Yin-Yang family, Zuo Minghui, who is only half a step away from becoming a semi-saint in the fifth realm!”

“I have been in seclusion for decades and have never gone out. I am determined to write a book and make this last step.”

“The Yin-Yang family and the Kong family have always been on good terms. I’m afraid their purpose in coming here today is not good.”

In fact, even without Li Gui’s reminder, Jia Cong had already seen it.

Among the many guests who came to watch the ceremony today, even Gongshu Hong, the head of the Gongshu family, arrived before Emperor Shunde tacitly.

He showed his power when the academy opened at noon.

Obviously the guest is not a hospitable one!
