Chapter 213 Three Cardinal Order
Mengjiang Dynasty, Chaotian City.
This is the most prosperous city except for the Mengjiang Imperial City, where people come and go in an endless stream.
Jiang Li left from the world of mortals and came here.
The Mengjiang Dynasty is next to the Red Dust Pure Land, and in Chaotian City, there is a candidate that Commander Liu is looking for.
The face-to-face investigation has been completed by Commander Liu, and Jiang Li can't find anything even if he shows up directly, so Jiang Li wants to start with the surrounding environment.
"Candied haws, all kinds of candied haws."
"Here comes a bunch of candied haws, not from hawthorn, but from the bunch of strawberries next to it."
"Guest officer, take it well."
"Bring a bunch of the same variety...the silkworm chrysalis are fine." Jiang Li planned to bring back some food for Fairy Hongchen.
"I am from Dazhou. I heard that there is a teacher in Chaotian City, Mr. Dong. I came here to pay a special visit."
"Da Zhou, that's really far away." The candied haws peddler was surprised. Mengjiang Dynasty was on the west side of Kyushu, and Da Zhou was in the east of Kyushu. This guest probably came to Mengjiang Dynasty through the newly created space channel.
Mr. Dong's reputation made other dynasties come to Mengjiang Dynasty, and the peddler also felt proud.
"Mr. Dong is the pride of our Chaotian City. He is proficient in Confucianism, knowledgeable, courteous, and treats students equally. Whether they come from aristocratic or poor families, Mr. Dong teaches the same thing. If there is no one who gives more money, he will tell him more."
"Mr. Dong is also strict with his juniors, saying that they can't hold on to their status and be arrogant. If anyone dares to do this, they will get out of the house."
Jiang Li listened with a smile, and the peddler felt that a rich man like Jiang Li could listen to him with peace of mind, so he talked a little more.
"Mr. Dong is definitely a big monk. Some elites and gangs in the city feel that they have some status, so they want to force Mr. Dong to be their private teacher. Who knows that the next day, those elites and gangs will stop making trouble, and send their children to Mr. Dong in peace. It seems that the coercion has never happened."
The peddler said in a low voice: "There is a legend that Mr. Dong is a cultivator in the stage of transformation!"
Jiang Li showed a proper expression of surprise.
The peddler was very satisfied with Jiang Li's expression, and gave him an extra piece of candied haws.
Jiang Li firmly refused: "I really don't eat silkworm chrysalis."
Jiang Li went to other small stalls to hang out again, asking around while shopping, and the answers he got were similar.
Mr. Dong has been teaching for more than ten years. He is a good teacher who is strict with himself.
But everyone didn't guess too high, they only guessed that Mr. Dong was in the stage of becoming a **** in seclusion.
The fusion period is too far away for ordinary people, Chaotian City is known as the second largest city in the dynasty, but there is not even a fusion period.
After all, if you can go to the largest city, who will go to the second largest city?
During the fusion period of the Mengjiang Dynasty, either they were officials in the court or joined the sect, and none of them were in Chaotian City.
Mr. Dong is of course the fusion period, and it is the only fusion period in Chaotian City.
"It's a reclusive personality." Jiang Li has a good impression of Mr. Dong, "It's really hard for Liu to lead, and he can still find a suitable period for reclusion."
"So, your son is the legendary student of Mr. Dong?"
Jiang Li looked at the person in front of him. This person was an old farmer, ordinary, and his family could even be said to be poor.
It seems that Mr. Dong really accepts any student regardless of his status.
"Dad, I'm going to school." A boy said goodbye to the old farmer with a cloth bag.
"Wait a minute, can I also take a class from Mr. Dong?"
The boy hesitated.
Jiang Li looks young, but he looks like a young man. There is no one as old as Jiang Li in Mr. Dong's private school.
"It's never too late to start learning." Jiang Li didn't think there was anything wrong with joining a group of children's private schools at his age.
The boy felt that what Jiang Li said was reasonable, so he took him with him.
"Mr. Dong, this brother wants to sit in on a class."
"Mr. Dong, hello, my name is Ding Li, a native of Dazhou. I passed by here, and I have heard Mr. Dong's name for a long time. I want to disturb a class."
The private school students lowered their heads and chuckled seeing Jiang Li being so old.
Mr. Dong frowned, and tapped the podium with an iron ruler: "Laugh, what's so ridiculous! This is the attitude of learning, and you should all learn from Ding Li!"
"Your parents didn't send you here to be lazy and playful. Don't think that you have a good family background so you don't need to study. The ancient sages said that my life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If there is a limit, there is no limit, and there is no limit."
"Jiang Renhuang also said that there is no end to learning."
"Are you better than the ancient sages, or better than Jiang Renhuang, do you think you don't need to study?"
The students were afraid of Mr. Dong's iron ruler and dared not laugh anymore.
Jiang Li didn't say anything and sat at the end.
"Today we study the Three Cardinal Order."
"The ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his sons, and the husband guides his wife. These are the three guides."
"As a subject, the ruler must die if the minister wants to die; as a son, the father must die if the son wants to die; the husband is the guide for the wife, and he is required to obey the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies."
"To use an analogy, Emperor Mengjiang is the emperor, and ninth-rank officials are ministers. Ministers are born to obey the emperor. Even if the official is a monk at the integration stage, it still cannot change the fact that he is a minister. Whatever Emperor Mengjiang asks his ministers to do, the ministers must do."
"What if the king is wrong?" Jiang Li asked.
"Shut up! I just talked about the three principles of order, and you are so disrespectful of etiquette. How can the students speak before the teacher finishes talking!" Mr. Dong in the class was completely different from before, and severely reprimanded Jiang Li.
Seeing that Jiang Li honestly put down his hand and stopped talking, Mr. Dong was very satisfied, so he answered Jiang Li's question.
"How can the king be wrong? The founding emperor of the Mengjiang Dynasty was a Mingjun, and his sons inherited his blood, so they naturally have the appearance of a Mingjun. The founding emperor chose the best son as the second emperor. This second emperor must also be a Mingjun. If this is passed down from generation to generation, the current Mengjiang Emperor must be a Mingjun."
"I know you may have doubts, and feel that sometimes Emperor Mengjiang will make some wrong decisions. This is not the fault of Emperor Mengjiang, but that some officials did not fulfill their duties as courtiers, and did not report the truth, which led to Emperor Mengjiang to make wrong judgments. Perhaps some of the officials were not righteous and deliberately guided them."
"If the courtiers do what the courtiers should do, how can the king make mistakes?"
Jiang Li recalled that Emperor Mengjiang and Emperor Wei almost started a war on a national scale because of the Fairy in the Red Dust.
This has nothing to do with courtiers.
"If everyone can't understand the example of Meng Jianghuang, then I will give another typical example, Jiang Renhuang."
"What is a human emperor is naturally the emperor of the human race, the emperor of the spirits, and the living beings of Kyushu respect and dominate the human emperor."
"Whether it is an ordinary monk or the emperor of the dynasty, they are all subjects of the Emperor."
"The emperor is the king, and the rest are ministers."
Jiang Li gradually frowned.
