Through Time Chapter 455

It is certainly a great thing for the Confucian head to be admitted to the discipleship.

So even though Liaodong is in the far north-east of the Great Qin, hundreds of Confucian students have gathered in the county at this time.

It doesn’t look like much, but just imagine that there were just a few more Confucianists in Xianyang when they debated.

After all, there were not many scholars in the whole of Great Qin now.

At the very beginning, Zhao Lang was a little worried that said these Confucian students would not be physically able to withstand running so far.

After all, the impression of the ‘weak hands’ of the scholars in the last decades of his life was not so easy to change over.

But when they were greeted at the gate, they saw a group of sturdy men who had come on horseback.

In military uniform, they were a squad of brawny cavalrymen!

Zhao Long instantly comprehended that the dull impression was not to be taken for granted.

There were even people who said to the Kong family that

“Confucian head, this student of yours is quite handsome, but his body is a bit thin.”

“A Confucian student of my generation should not leave behind any of the six arts of the gentleman!”

“This time, when we came to Liaodong, we also took the opportunity to eliminate a group of mountain bandits.”

After saying this, he let out a torrent of laughter.

Zhao Lang made a slight estimation, if it was himself in his previous life, the other party could probably kill eight people with one punch.

This also gave Zhao Lang another direction to think about.

“Damn, for Confucianism to spread so widely, couldn’t it be that this group of Confucian students fought it out?”

Thinking of the time when Confucius led three thousand disciples, everyone was traveling with a sword in one hand and a book in the other.

The more Zhao Lang thought about it, the more likely it was.

Then he thought about the Mozi family, which also had a group of wandering warriors.

The fact that the two best mixed schools of thought in the Great Qin were both secured by force spoke volumes.

Soon the ceremony began.

At first, for the concept of the ritual, Zhao Lang thought it would be something he had seen in his previous life.

A bunch of red tape and then the ritual of kneeling and worshipping.

After meeting the group of Confucians, Zhao Lang thought of the other extreme, which was to drink and eat meat in big bowls, just like the good men of Liang Shan in their previous life.

But when it came to holding the ceremony, Zhao Long realised that he had thought of both wrong.

It was more like a meet and greet, something along the lines of Kong A introducing himself, this is my disciple, take care of him in the future.

Very lenient.

But when it came to saluting, one of the five big, thick men was extremely obsequious and polite.

This caused Zhao Lang to be in a bit of a trance, but he soon realised.

This, this is what a scholar should look like!

Physically fit, mentally agile.

After saluting, Zhao Lang was again led by his teacher to meet various great scholars.

Zhao Long took note of them all, as they would all be of use in the future.

However, Zhao Long still felt a bit overwhelmed when dealing with these people.

When these great scholars talked, they all quoted the scriptures so naturally that Zhao Lang was almost exposed.

The little he had in his stomach was not enough for a two-sentence conversation.

But the great scholars didn’t have any ridiculing bridges, instead they said that he knew how to be polite and kind.

It was only with great difficulty that the evening came, and it was time for the people to say goodbye.

Zhao Long followed his teacher back to the study with a head full of sweat before he wiped his sweat.

“It seems that the class work has fallen behind these days.”

Kong A said with a smile.

Zhao Lang nodded somewhat ashamedly, these days reading the carriage and horses, the books he read, most of them were also Sun Wu and Bing books, indeed he did not read the Confucian classics.

At this time Kong A but his face changed slightly and said that

“Hold out your hand!”

Zhao Lang froze for a moment, but still extended his hand.

Snap!

There was a clear sound.

A flaming pain came from the hand.

“Hiss!”

Even Zhao Lang couldn’t help but draw a cold breath.

“Know why I hit you?”

Kongjia asked with a serious face.

Zhao Lang touched his hand and returned.

“This is the teacher’s way of warning his disciple to always keep the heart to learn.”

Kong A, however, shook his head.

Zhao Lang was suddenly a little confused and said that

“Teacher that’s why?”

Only then did Kong A sighed and said that

“Alas, your status is different from what it used to be, if you don’t fight now, it is not good to fight in the future.”

When Zhao Lang heard this reason, he didn’t even know how to answer it.

Kong A quickly said that

“Today, the old man happens to give you another lesson.”

Zhao Lang naturally answered yes, and soon the two of them sat down.

Zhao Lang also did not forget Chen Ping who was following him, the other party had also put in a lot of effort today.

In the future, Zhao Long plans to let him liaise with the Confucian family.

It’s just that this time there were not many Confucian students from the Rams who came, which was a slight pity.

When Chen Ping saw that the two were about to speak again, he was extremely well behaved and found a spot against the wall to do so.

With his back against the wall, even if you students and teachers talk out of turn today, it is unlikely that he will be so shocked that he will sit on the floor like last time.

“Now that the world is in turmoil, you have the name of King of Zhao again.”

“The teacher will test you on the general situation of the world.”

After quoting the scriptures to open the lesson, Kongjia quickly got to the point of

“Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, how do you see it?”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but clack his lips, the topic was a little too big.

What do you think?

He would like to sit and watch, but unfortunately things are not as they should be, back at the

“Teacher, the world is in turmoil and the student can’t see very well.”

Kong A, however, was not surprised that this would have been just a talking point, and continued to ask that

“The legacy of the six kingdoms has risen again, and you have inherited the name of King of Zhao, is this your intention to restore the state of Zhao, to the time when the seven kingdoms were side by side?”

Kong Jia intended to ask Zhao Lang about his ambition first.

Hearing this, Zhao Lang, however, hesitated for a moment and said that

“Teacher, although the student has inherited the name of King Zhao, he actually does not agree with the time when the seven kingdoms were in parallel.”

In Zhao Lang’s heart, there had never been anything but the idea of a great unification of

“Seven kingdoms standing side by side and warring against each other brings only chaos.”

The internal chaos and internal conflict in China is most unworthy.

Kongjia’s eyes lit up as he listened and smiled, saying

“Lang’er, but isn’t that what you’re doing now?”

Zhao Lang revealed a bitter smile, indeed, the teacher was indeed right, and with a slight sigh said that

“Teacher, there are too many ambitious people in this world, but there is only one for that position, and the student has no choice but to do so.”

He and was the emperor’s partnership, but at this time it was still not very good to say.

After all, the lives of his own old father and the others were at stake.

The best way to keep a secret was to say nothing about a single person.

If he hadn’t been forced by the First Emperor, he wouldn’t have wanted to go and fight with that group of people for any world in the first place.

Now, there was no choice.

Looking at Zhao Lang’s helpless look, Kong Jia’s heart suddenly smoothed out a little.

You see the student has doubts, the teacher is here to help you solve them.

This is what normal teacher-student communication is all about.

Kong A, whose spirits were also high at this time, said.

“In that case, you should make up your mind earlier.”

“Teacher, there is also a strategy that can solve your doubts.”

Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up as he listened and said that

“Please also teach me, sir!”

Kong A then said, in an unhurried manner.

“This strategy is said to be just four words, divide and pull.”

Soon after, Kong A said his strategy, and looking at Zhao Lang, who seemed to have gained something, his enthusiasm grew and he said, for example.

“I have heard that the King of Yan is still missing, if you can find him…”

Kong A stopped in the middle of his sentence.

A good teacher learns to guide his students to think for themselves.

Only before he finished his sentence, he saw Chen Ping, who had not fallen down, but was red in the face, as if he had heard something funny.
