Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

These people, are beyond cure!

"So, this is what you call 'unjust'!"

After a hearty laugh, Su Changqing looked at the crowd below and spoke loudly,

"Then tell me, if I do not abandon the Confucian path, what would this world be like now!"

The furious aura of many Confucian scholars suddenly stalled.

Even those great powers watching the battle showed silence.

"Leaving only the Confucian path, with all the platforms on the continent lost, would I then gain benevolence?"

Su Changqing's mocking voice rang out, "Indeed, I abandoned Confucianism and forsook countless Confucian scholars."

"But equally! I saved the Taoist traditions of millions of cultivators on the Cangyan Continent and its future!"

"Could this not be considered 'benevolence'?"

The majestic voice echoed, leaving countless Confucian scholars speechless.

They seemed to be taken by Su Changqing's words to a higher perspective to view this world.

"A bunch of narrow-minded, shortsighted people call themselves Confucians?"

Su Changqing angrily shouted unreservedly, "Your so-called 'benevolence' is nothing but 'small benevolence' that concerns your own interest!"

"A Confucian should embrace the greater good and conduct oneself with propriety!"

"To risk life for the benefit of the people, how could one avoid it because of personal gain or loss?"

Boom!

As the words fell, before Mu Yun and others could retort, the sculpture of the Literary Emperor suddenly emitted a glorious radiance.

Boundless grand righteous energy descended from the sky to settle behind Su Changqing!

Everyone present was astonished!

The Literary Emperor stands the stage, personally acknowledging and inducing a celestial phenomenon!

At this moment, who dares to dispute?

Who dares to say that Su Changqing's words aren't the essence of Confucianism?

"You..."

Gazing upon Su Changqing bathed in radiant light, Mu Yun's face turned ashen, and fear flickered in his eyes, rendering him speechless.

How to refute this?

With the Literary Emperor's endorsement, refuting Su Changqing is akin to refuting the Literary Emperor, refuting Confucianism!

Not to mention him, even if all the Confucian scholars in the city were counted, their weight wouldn't compare to the phenomenon brought by the Literary Emperor!

Su Changqing's words turned the first accusation of 'unjust' into a joke.

"How can a person of 'small benevolence' understand what the greater good is?"

Su Changqing glanced at the Confucians, shook his head, and said, "You are not worthy to be called Confucians."

All the Confucians were left speechless, their faces flushed with anger, yet unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

At this moment, Ye Shu, Xian Banmeng, Xuan Yan, Su Nan, and those powerful figures observing secretly all silently praised in their hearts.

One person verbally sparred with a group of Confucians, yet subdued half of the Confucian realm into admitting their faults.

This talent and demeanor, even as an enemy, could not help but elicit admiration.

At that moment, witnessing Su Changqing's impending turn of the tide, Mu Yun hurriedly shouted sternly.

"Let's put aside the matter of the transportation platform for now."

"Confucianism entered the court, borrowing its fortune to strengthen itself, enabling Confucianism to rapidly grow and develop!"

"Such a beneficial thing for oneself and others, yet you, Su Changqing, and the Sacred Academy, obstinately resist!"

"Isn't this disloyal to Confucianism? Isn't this causing Confucianism to stand still!"

Many Confucian scholars present nodded, looking at the Sacred Academy and Su Changqing with anger.

Clearly, there was a better path for development, yet they weren't allowed to enter the court.

For those unaware, it seemed like they were sent by another faction to hinder the development of Confucianism.

And precisely because of this matter, the Sacred Academy continued to decline.

Even the Sacred Academy couldn't find a legitimate reason to silence everyone.

As for saying that they would be corrupted by the pursuit of power and profit?

Ha, these Confucians who've never set foot in the court are so confident.

"Even the teacher couldn't find a way to resolve this."

"This question... how will you answer?"

Shu Han, Bo Gu and others all eagerly looked at Su Changqing.

This question, targeting Su Changqing, is better said as a struggle over ideologies between the court faction and the Sacred Academy.

The strength of the court was evident.

Yet the choice of the Sacred Academy remained incomprehensible.

They also wanted to see how Su Changqing would resolve this complicated situation for himself and the Sacred Academy!

"Borrowing the court's fortune to strengthen oneself?"

Su Changqing shook his head and said, "This practice isn't just incorrect, it's absurdly wrong, a misguided approach!"

"Sophistry! What's wrong with the court!"

Mu Yun and the Confucians present, and even some great Confucians couldn't help but shout angrily.

"What's wrong?"

Su Changqing smiled and looked at the crowd, "Have you ever heard this phrase?"

All eyes turned attentively.

Su Changqing looked at the Literary Emperor's statue and slowly spoke:

"As Heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive for self-improvement!"

"As the vastness of Earth's demeanor, a gentleman must hold great virtue to support all things!"

Boom!

As the words fell, the not fully dissipated light from the Literary Emperor's statue burst into brilliance again!

Indeed, this phenomenon was even more intense than before!

The majestic figure of the Literary Emperor appeared in person, his gaze upon Su Changqing seemed to carry a sense of appreciation and admiration.

The grand voice, gentle as a spring breeze, resonated throughout the whole of Central Continent!

"These words, most virtuous!"
