Chapter 85: The Heart of Literature and Taoism
He asked Han Li to prepare some spiritual stones and a Heavenly Dao battle suit for Ye Xingchen.
The spiritual stones can help Ye Xingchen speed up his cultivation, and the Heavenly Dao battle suit can ensure Ye Xingchen's safety.
He did not want to interfere too much in the Confucian and Taoist world, and he believed that Ye Xingchen could do it.
Mocheng, Wang family.
When Cai An brought the news back to Wang Ziwei, Wang Ziwei's face was extremely gloomy.
He never expected that the manifestation of the will of the saint that just appeared was caused by Ye Liangchen, a little kid, and the saint sentenced Wang Youde to death.
Things became quite tricky. Would his Wang family dare not obey the decree of the saint?
"Master, Master Mo from the county government is here and said he wants to take the young master away. I want to ask what you think?"
Just at this time, a servant came to report in a hurry.
Cai An had just arrived, and Mo Xuyou followed him. The speed was really fast.
Wang Ziwei stared coldly for a while, then said: "Go and tell Master Mo to wait a moment, my Wang family will not make it difficult for him."
The servant took the order and hurriedly retreated, bringing a message to Mo Xuyou.
When Mo Xuyou heard Wang Ziwei's words, he was relieved.
He was afraid that the Wang family would stop them from arresting people, which would be very difficult to handle, and the government would be caught in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Wang Ziwei did not make things difficult for them.
Let alone let him wait for a while, it doesn't matter if he waits for a few hours, as long as he can get the job done.
While Mo Xuyou was waiting, Wang Ziwei had already called a meeting to discuss, and Wang Youde was among them.
When Wang Youde knew that the saint sentenced him to death, Wang Youde panicked instantly.
"Grandpa, please save me, you must save me."
Wang Youde quickly knelt in front of Wang Ziwei and begged for mercy.
It turned out that Wang Youde was also so afraid of death, thinking that he was not afraid of death.
Seeing Wang Youde's panic, Wang Ziwei frowned again.
How could he have such a useless grandson? He showed the temperament you had when you beat someone to death, but he was so cowardly at the critical moment.
"Get up and talk first."
Wang Ziwei scolded. After all, Wang Youde was his grandson, and the only direct descendant of the Wang family. He couldn't bear it.
Otherwise, Wang Youde was so cowardly and only bullied the weak. Wang Ziwei would have handed him over long ago. Why would he ask people to come and discuss countermeasures?
On the issue of how to save Wang Youde, the Wang family discussed for a long time.
There is an inevitable prerequisite that the sage's decree cannot be violated no matter what.
After thinking about it, the Wang family couldn't think of a better way, so they could only take risks and use the trick of replacing the prince with a cat.
Find someone who looks like Wang Youde to die in his place.
In this way, his Wang family would not be considered to have violated the sage's decree.
However, it is easier said than done.
It is easy to find someone who looks like Wang Youde, but the difficulty lies in the county government and Moliu Academy. Are they willing to take risks with the Wang family?
You know, once the matter is exposed, none of them will have a good ending.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Ziwei finally said, "Leave the rest to me, I will personally appear to talk to them."
After that, Wang Ziwei went to the county government to meet He Shijing.
When He Shijing learned of Wang Ziwei's intention, He Shijing refused on the spot without thinking.
The Wang family wanted to disobey the words of the saints. Once the matter was exposed, he would also be unlucky. He Shijing would not board the Wang family.
He Shijing's refusal was completely within Wang Ziwei's expectations, so Wang Ziwei was not angry.
Without any benefit, how can people be on the same front with you.
Wang Ziwei handed He Shijing a gift box.
Seeing Wang Ziwei handing him a gift box, He Shijing was stunned. It was time, and he was still doing this.
The decree of the sage, he dared not disobey anything. Once the court knew about it, the lighter punishment would be beheading, and the heavier punishment would be the extermination of the entire family.
He Shijing did not dare to take this risk. No matter how much the Wang family gave him, he was afraid that he would have the life to take it but not the life to spend it.
Seeing that He Shijing was reluctant to accept it, Wang Ziwei knew what He Shijing was thinking.
"Your Excellency He, why don't you open it and take a look first."
Wang Ziwei said it mysteriously, and He Shijing became curious.
What was in the box that made Wang Ziwei so concerned and used it to bribe him?
It must not be money or something like that.
Driven by curiosity, He Shijing took the gift box and slowly opened it.
When he saw the contents clearly, He Shijing stood up instantly.
He Shijing frowned, looked at Wang Ziwei in disbelief, and said, "What does the head of the Wang family mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. If Lord He agrees to help, this thing will belong to Lord He."
Wang Ziwei still acted calmly, but in fact, his heart was bleeding.
The reason why their Wang family has been able to dominate Mo City for so many years is because of the things in the box.
The box is nothing else but a heart of literature and Taoism, and it is a second-grade heart of literature and Taoism.
It has been said before that a scholar needs to condense the heart of literature and Taoism to be promoted to the ranks of great Confucian scholars.
This is common sense and orthodoxy.
In addition, there is another way to borrow the heart of literature and Taoism of others to be promoted to the ranks of great Confucian scholars.
But this method has many limitations.
If you want to use the heart of literature and Taoism of others to be promoted to the ranks of great Confucian scholars, you need a good fit between the two. The higher the fit, the greater the success rate.
Secondly, those who borrowed the heart of literature and Taoism from others to become great Confucian scholars will never make any further progress in this life.
In other words, if he borrowed the heart of literature and Taoism from a great Confucian scholar of the third rank, he would only be at the third rank at most and would never be able to go any higher.
It doesn't sound very friendly and seems very useless, but it is something that many scholars dream of and is also the reason why the great families have been passed down for a long time without extinction.
Where does the heart of literature and Taoism come from? To put it bluntly, it is condensed after the death of a great Confucian scholar, similar to the relics of Buddhism.
The heart of literature and Taoism is usually the product left by great Confucian scholars to their descendants.
Why has the Kong family always been prosperous and no one can shake its status.
In the final analysis, it is because the Kong family has a saint, and the descendants of the Kong family have the heart of literature and Taoism to accompany them, so their talents are rising. Every generation must have a great Confucian scholar, and from time to time, a half-saint will appear.
In this way, with the accumulation of generation after generation, no one knows how many hearts of literature and Taoism there are in the Kong family.
The Kong family is so powerful that even the Great Dynasty has to be cautious.
Wang Ziwei can show a heart of literature and Taoism, which shows that the Wang family has a great scholar in their ancestry, and a great scholar with a second-grade heart of literature and Taoism.
Wang Ziwei believes that the Wang family's heart of literature and Taoism will definitely move He Shijing.
It can also be seen from this that Wang Ziwei really loves his grandson. In order to save Wang Youde, Wang Ziwei is willing to give up everything.
He Shijing asked: "What about Moliu Academy?"
Yes, He Shijing was moved by Wang Ziwei's sincerity.
The moment he got the heart of literature and Taoism, He Shijing never let go, for fear that Wang Ziwei would regret and take it back.
