I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

When the onlookers at the poker game heard these words, they turned their heads around in a flash, stared at Yin Xuan in disbelief.

This is Kong Yingda!

It's fine to chew your tongue secretly in private, but if you say it so blatantly in front of others, aren't you afraid of being beaten?

Oh. Also, Kong Yingda is no match for Yin Xuan.

Kong Yingda did not turn against Yin Xuan when he heard Yin Xuan's words as expected by others. He just couldn't hold back his eyebrows raised, and then asked: "Does the store not like Confucianism?"

People who criticize Confucianism have always picked Confucius to criticize.If you refute the most important person in the history of Confucianism, naturally this science will collapse like dominoes.

Yin Xuan shook his head: "That's not true, I just simply don't like you, the Kong family."

Hearing these words, someone couldn't hold back, and looked back at Kong Yingda with expectation in his eyes.

This is a provocation.

Don't do it yet?
Kong Yingda was not angry, but asked curiously, "Oh? Why does the store treat my Kong family like this?"

Yin Xuan glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Everyone in your clan has said that, you are still willing to come to me, at least you are not a hopeless person."

"Then I'll tell you something."

Kong Yingda nodded, and the onlookers also pricked up their ears, and Li Yuan stopped cursing, shouted Ertiao, and played a Ertong.

"Confucius is a very respectable senior." Yin Xuan thought about the wording, and then said slowly, "But he never regarded himself as an authority during his lifetime."

"His students only respect his moral character, his cultivation, and his knowledge. These are what he deserves, but they also don't regard him as an authority."

"But what about you?"

"Establishing Confucius as an authority, thinking that you are a descendant of Confucius, is to be superior and not be an ordinary person. If Confucius is a child of the Confucian family, if you ask questions from children and learn from various schools in various places, I am afraid that if you don't want one person, you will be overthrown by you. Name it."

Kong Yingda was a little ashamed, and then nodded.

This is true, although Yin Xuan scolded him harshly, it still saved him face.

The current Kong family really wants to save face and learn more.

"Our ancestors are highly respected, so we naturally have to be scared." Kong Yingda sighed and said something helpless.

Yin Xuan sneered: "What relationship do you have with Confucius other than blood relationship?"

Kong Yingda was taken aback.

Before he could speak, Yin Xuan went on to say: "Even if you guys do some nasty things, what does it have to do with Confucius if you bully a man today and a domineering woman tomorrow, and even take off your clothes and dance on Zhuque Street?"

"The old man is dead. He has been like that all his life."

After speaking, Yin Xuan paused.

"If someone criticizes him for having a problem because of your actions, is it him or the one who criticized him?"

"People who are a little more sober know to look at problems dialectically."

Kong Yingda pursed her lips.

That's what he said, and he also understands the truth, but it's one thing to understand the truth, and another thing to be able to do it.

Yin Xuan glanced at him again, and then said: "Confucianism is a good learning, everyone becomes a gentleman, and naturally the world will be in harmony, but the problem is"

"If a person can't even eat enough to eat, how can he be a gentleman?"

"Become a starving gentleman?"

Some scholars really want to argue that there are indeed those gentlemen who starve to death without losing their morals, but this sentence has been rolled around on their lips, and they still can't say it in the end.

This kind of person is a special case, an extremely rare existence.

Most people can be a good person only when they are not so hungry.Those who fall into the grass and become bandits, before they can eat, which one is not an honest and dutiful farmer?

"The realm of Confucianism is too high, it has become a castle in the air." Yin Xuan shook his head and sighed, "If everyone in my Tang Dynasty is a gentleman now."

"Eat less, be hungry, and be willing to be a gentleman."

"What if the population increases 20 years later?"

As he spoke, Yin Xuan pointed to his feet: "This land can only support ten people, so what if it needs to support twenty, thirty, or even a hundred people?"

"When the time comes, everyone will starve to death, so what's the use of becoming a gentleman?"

Yin Xuan took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "Being a gentleman is a spiritual requirement, but before that, whether you can have enough food, whether you can wear good clothes, these material needs are the most important."

Kong Yingda took a deep look at the news: "That's why Mr. has been studying the knowledge that can make people eat well and dress well?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "I think these are the most important things."

"You Kong family, you only know how to guard the inheritance of your ancestors, but it is your ancestors' property, and it will never, never become yours."

"What's the use of guarding?"

"You can't carry it forward."

These words made Kong Yingda lower her head even more in shame. From the beginning of Qin Dynasty to the present Tang Dynasty, the Kong family has never been seen to disturb the situation and make the people live a better life.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Yin Xuan.

An idea was settled in my heart.

"Thank you for your advice today, sir." Kong Yingda stood up, bowed and saluted, and then left.

He has always wanted to do something for his family, or in other words, to make his family look more like a descendant of Confucius.

Instead of being what you are now, a poor wretch under the shadow of your ancestors.

Go home.

Kong Yingda had just sat down in the study, and before the ink was finished, the door was pushed open, and the two young men walked in again.

The faces of both of them were not very good-looking, and one of them cupped his hands and asked through gritted teeth: "Why did uncle go to see that county man again?"

Kong Yingda looked up at them: "I am doing something, and I still need to report to you?"

"Uncle, you should draw a clear line with him." Another young man said, squinting his eyes, "Otherwise the clan elder will ask you to go back."

Kong Yingda nodded: "You don't need him to ask, I'm going back for a few days."

The two young men looked at each other, a little dazed.

Kong Yingda knocked on the table, and then said: "My Kong family has a millennium inheritance so far. Our ancestors once said that to be old and not die is to be a thief."

"My Kong family has also reached the level of Kong thief."

"In a few days, I will go back and restore my family."

The eyes of the two young men were round, and they looked at Kong Yingda in astonishment, a little incredulous.
