Several people were eating noodles. Bai Junru, Zhang Ziqiang, Zou Feifei and the Li sisters returned to the inn at the same time, but after Fan Difei asked, he found out that they were going to attend the talks together.

Seeing them having midnight snacks, Zhang Ziqiang knocked on the table and laughed: "You are too much, don't you know how to prepare one for us?"

"It's ready." Hou Jingru quickly called the chef and brought noodles to the few people.

Zhang Ziqiang was just a joke just now, but he didn't expect that he really had his own one. He quickly sat down, took a pair of chopsticks, and smiled and said, "Jingru is so virtuous! If you get married, your husband will be really blessed!"

Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang said something similar to him, Fan Difei had a similar feeling when he saw the heroes. After hearing this, Zou Feifei and Li Shuting frowned slightly, looked at Hou Jingru, and sat down one by one.

Li Shuyi ran to Yao Ruoyu with a smile and sat down, chattering about this talk to him. Most of them were boring debates. Only when she mentioned a young man who attended the meeting, she blushed like a girl in her heart and her words became intermittent.

Li Huan stirred the noodles and laughed: "Shuyi, have you changed your mind?"

Li Shuyi yelled and looked over blankly. She realized her cramped smirk in her eyes. Her cheeks became more and more blushing, and she stammered: "It's different! Mr. Li is indeed a gentleman with a graceful temperament, but her senior brother is still my idol!"

Seeing that something was wrong with their topic, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and quickly turned to the topic: "Who is this Mr. Li?"

When talking about this person, Bai Junru showed a look of appreciation and sighed: "This person is the top scholar in the current academic field, and is also a handsome man who is not outstanding in my Confucianism. Although he is a top student, he is knowledgeable and has a great Confucianism. This Qing Dynasty meeting can be said to be outstanding and has a glorious glory."

"Also, he not only has an extraordinary knowledge, but also has a heart that does not cling to the powerful," Bai Junru slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "At this ceremonial meeting, the three masters wanted to accept him as their disciples, but he said that he already had a master, and he was a teacher for one day and was a father for life, and he was unwilling to change his sect. He was really a proud and gentleman of the world."

Unlike practitioners, it is actually normal for scholars to have many teachers. You should know that with the status of the Three Dukes, looking at the world, let alone Confucian children, even other scholars, there are almost no one who is unwilling to become their disciples.

This person is indeed a bit proud to refuse.

Zhang Ziqiang was lying on the noodles when he suddenly looked up and said, "Brother Yao, this person is very strong."

Before Yao Ruoyu could react at first, he answered a few casually before coming back to his senses, frowned and said, "Very strong? How strong is it?"

With Zhang Ziqiang's third-place status as the third in the list of beautiful women, he can evaluate a person of his age as a strong person, so this person is really strong. But he seems to have never heard of such a person with strong Confucianism and cultivation in the Song Dynasty?

Suddenly, Yao Ruoyu's mind flashed with inspiration and said in surprise: "Is this person called Li Yuezhou?"

"How do you know?" Zhang Ziqiang said in confusion.

Yao Ruoyu let out a long sigh and laughed: "What I just thought of is that I have learned a person and can value your cultivation. The surname is Li, Li Yuezhou, who is only ninth on the Jinxiu list."

Because it has been several months since the last update of the Jinxiu List, Yao Ruoyu had long forgotten the top ten rankings. It was not until Zhang Ziqiang mentioned that the other party had a strong cultivation level that he thought about whether he would be on the Jinxiu List, and he thought of Li Yuezhou, who ranked ninth in the Jinxiu List.

"Li Yuezhou?" At this time, Zou Buyi, who heard the movement below, happened to hear everyone talking. Unconsciously raised his eyebrows, looked at Yao Ruoyu, and chuckled, "Why did you suddenly talk about him?"

"Do you know him?" Yao Ruoyu asked back.

Zou Buyi smiled and said, "I know him, but he doesn't know me, but Li Yuezhou, how could he not know, [Baiyi], the ninth place in the Jinxiu list, and there is another thing you don't know, right?"

Seeing him keeping him in hilariously, Li Huan said, "Believe it or not, I'll tell Sister Xian tomorrow?"

"He is a successor of Confucianism." Zou Buyi replied decisively.

"Successor of Confucianism?" Before everyone could react, Bai Junru was shocked and said, "You mean, Li Yuezhou is a contemporary successor of Confucianism?"

"Yes! I thought Mr. Bai would know." Zou Buyi was also a little surprised.

Bai Junru's eyes suddenly became complicated and said lightly: "Confucian culture has a long history and has been passed down to this day. There are many branches of Confucius, including the Eight Sects of the Warring States Period, theology of prophecies and divination, theology of the Tang Dynasty, and moral theology. However, in a general sense, everyone still respects Confucius' personal orthodox lineage as Confucian orthodoxy."

Everyone in the Literature and Art Department is a science student and doesn't know much about the history of Confucianism. Instead, Zou Buyi smiled and said, "It is said that when Confucius Sheng knew that Confucian children would have different opinions, so they deliberately left behind a lineage and inherited all his Confucianism. This is also the lineage that Mr. Bai just said was passed down by Confucius Sheng?"

"Mr. Zou is knowledgeable, indeed," Bai Junru nodded softly and sighed, "It's a pity that Confucianism has risen for thousands of years with the support of the Han Dynasty and surpassed the doctrines of hundreds of schools, but the lineage of Confucius's personal transmission disappeared. It is rumored that they were hiding among the people and had a single lineage, but no one knows who the descendants of each generation are. How did Mr. Zou know that Li Yuezhou was personally transmitted by Confucius's personal transmission?"

Zou Buyi blinked and smiled, "Secret."

Everyone has their own secrets, and Bai Junru didn't ask too much, but he sighed a little more. He had been immersed in Confucianism for many years and admired Confucius's sages. Now he learned that he had seen Confucius' personal disciples with his own eyes, and his heart was full of passion. He wished he could ask the sky for another three hundred years to follow the Li Yuezhou and listen to ask Confucius' thoughts.

Zhang Ziqiang was eating noodles when he suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "After this talk meeting, many people sighed that 'receiving disciples should be taken as Li Yuezhou'. It is estimated that this sentence will spread all over the world in a few days."

"I'm a little interested in this person." Yao Ruoyu said with a chuckle.

"Stop talking about him, you have also made a lot of attention at the talks this time, Prince." Li Shuting said with a smile.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu being curious, Zhang Ziqiang smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to hold a hundred-family forum to comment on reforms? After knowing it, those old scholars beat their chests and stamped their feet. They all said that you are the enemy of Confucianism and want to destroy the thousand-year foundation of Confucianism."

When talking about this, Bai Junru was also a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Prince, can you really want to hold a hundred-store forum?"

"Of course!" Yao Ruoyu smiled, his expression was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Although I have never experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, just historical records can feel the prosperous scene of the various schools of thought that at that time. Now Confucianism is the dominant one, and it is good to use the power of the Song Dynasty to admire the hundreds of schools, but has Mr. Bai ever thought about whether this matter is good or bad?"

Bai Junru was stunned and hesitated: "Is it a bad thing? My Confucianism adheres to the will of heaven and supports the prosperity of dynasties in history. It is a study of governing the country. Is it wrong to determine it as orthodox?"

"Only you can achieve enlightenment when you are at peace and beware of danger," Yao Ruoyu shook his head gently and said calmly, "I have no intention to evaluate the achievements of Confucianism over the past thousand years. It's just that I always believe in one sentence: existence is reasonable. A hundred schools of thought, except Confucianism, is there any other theory that no other schools have to dominate the country? Why do you have to reject it all?"

"The only thing that respects Confucianism seems to be governing the country with Confucianism and creating a prosperous world, but in fact, it is self-proclaimed. You must know that only by talking can we discuss the truth. There was no competition for hundreds of schools of thought, and each express their opinions, and various thoughts collided with sparks. How can we make progress? So how can we have today's Confucianism?"

Bai Junru suddenly became silent. Unlike the Confucian people who were always immersed in the Confucianism landscape in the Song Dynasty, he followed Yao Ruoyu over the years and accepted many novel ideas from later generations. His thinking was no longer as rigid as before, and he was able to accept new things.

What Yao Ruoyu said is nothing new in modern times, but in ancient times it was a thought-provoking and famous saying, which allowed Bai Junru to see a door. After one was pushed open, he could see the door for various schools of thought to create brilliance together.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Junru stood up awe-in and bowed: "The prince has the elegance and ambition of accepting all rivers! The old minister admires it very much. This time, the old minister will definitely assist President Song with all his heart and will never dare to slack off."

In fact, Yao Ruoyu was just talking nonsense. Seeing that he was serious, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly helped him up: "Your Madam doesn't have to do this. This Hundred Schools Forum is of great significance and has a great influence on Confucianism, but the so-called "breaking" and then building, can only bring new light to the screen to remove impurities."

Bai Junru deeply felt the same and nodded: "Before returning to the big article, the old minister will first contact a few old friends and tell them what the prince wants. This forum, I, Confucianism, must not fall behind others."

When talking about this kind of thing, most of them were indifferent. After chatting for a few simple words, they went back to their rooms to rest after eating the noodles. Only Yao Ruoyu and Zou Buyi remained in the lobby.

Yao Ruoyu asked: "Are you going to speak on behalf of the Yin-Yang family this time?"

Zou Buyi was tidying up the thread exposed on the corner of her clothes. He didn't raise his head when he heard this, and smiled, "I don't have this plan."

"Why?" Yao Ruoyu said in surprise.

"Do you really think that the hundreds of schools of thought have been passed down to this so-called state-governance status?" Zou Buyi seemed to think of something, and his expression became a little sad, and asked and answered, "No, the reason why he insisted on passing on to this day was just for the Nine Dragons to compete for immortality."

As if he knew that Yao Ruoyu would be confused, Zou Buyi smiled faintly and said, "During the Warring States Period, heroes were in power and the stars were shining. It was the golden age. The situation of the Nine Dragons fighting for immortals was about to begin. Unexpectedly, Emperor First Emperor suddenly rose, swept across China, unified the six countries, and wanted to fight for immortals alone."

"For helplessness, Kong Sheng and other ancestors of the hundred schools had to join forces to postpone the launch of the Nine Dragons' battle for immortality by 1,600 years," Zou Buyi raised his head and smiled meaningfully, "That is now."

Suddenly learning about this layout plan that lasted for more than a thousand years, Yao Ruoyu was stunned. After a while, he frowned and said, "Continue."

Zou Buyi said with a silence: "After postponing the opportunity to become an immortal, the hundreds of families left behind their own hands and passed down the most core secret leaflets separately, waiting for the opportunity to become an immortal in this life. Unfortunately, it's a pity that many families have disappeared in the long river of time. So far, there are only four or five families that I know that may still exist."

Yao Ruoyu was silent for a moment and sighed, "So the reason why you followed me was to compete for the opportunity to become an immortal? Nine dragons compete for immortality, do you also want to be one of the dragons?"

"Haha, when people are so tired, why do you have to be a dragon?" Zou Buyi asked back and shook his head, "I don't have the ambition to become an immortal. It's just that according to records from past dynasties, those who become immortals can open the door to the immortal world. At that time, except for this person who has achieved the Nine Realm, others can also go to the immortal world together."

Yao Ruoyu explained his doubts, then frowned and said, "But I..."

"I know you don't want to fight for the opportunity to become an immortal," Zou Buyi interrupted him impolitely and said in a deep voice, "But Lao Yao, have you ever thought that even if you don't fight for it, will others let you go?"

Yao Ruoyu felt silent and frowned, "I only need to be less than eight realms..." Before he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he wanted to have a real foothold in China, not be coveted by others, and ensure the safety of the people in the Literature and Art Department, he must reach eight realms so that he can truly protect everyone.

"So!" Zou Bu brushed his sleeves and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, you are already in the game, you can't help everything. You can't escape the Nine Dragons' fight for immortality!"
