Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

But after all, the emperor is far away, and many people will still come to Qufu secretly to pay tribute to Confucius, and this kind of thing is difficult to manage.

Seeing these people, Wei Wu felt like he was seeing fans in later generations waiting for stars at the back door of a TV station.

If you want to truly participate in the Confucius Festival, you must first have a high enough reputation, either as a great writer or a great scholar of the time.

As for these scholars, it would be useless even if they came to Qufu. Not to mention participating in the Confucius Festival, they couldn't even enter the gate of the Confucius Mansion.

Looking at the scholars on both sides of the strait, Wei Wu shook his head and complained in a low voice.

"A bunch of idiots, their brains have become stupid from studying. They weren't invited to the ancestral worship ceremony, yet they insisted on coming to join in the fun."

Master Zheng heard this and said something as well.

“People all over the world think that scholars are smart, but the truly smart are always only a minority, and the majority are fools.”

"They are lazy and don't know the difference between grains. Most of them are even worse than ordinary people. They only know how to study the books of sages."

"These people think highly of themselves because they can read, but the consequences of their misdeeds are even greater than those of ordinary people."

Having said that, Master Zheng snorted coldly, and the expression on his face became gloomy.

"At the beginning, I was just like them, believing that the classics of the sages were the remedy for the world. As long as I studied and understood them with all my heart, I would surely become a pillar of the country."

"Until I took the Analects to the teacher to seek answers to my doubts, but he punished me with a ruler and expelled me from the academy for questioning the sage."

"It was then that I realized that those so-called holy books were not scriptures for study, but dogmas that could not be questioned!"

Wei Wu didn't expect that a few words he said on impulse would cause such a big reaction from Master Zheng.

However, he could probably hear what Master Zheng had experienced, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and say:

"Don't worry, these dogmas will be broken soon. That's what we have to do now, isn't it?"

"Yes, very soon..."

Master Zheng turned around and was about to answer Wei Wu's words, but suddenly he heard the boatman's voice shouting from the deck.

"Hurry up and reef the sails! Hurry up and reef the anchor. It will be too late if you are any later!"

Hearing the boatmen's shouts, Wei Wu and Master Zheng looked at each other.

Just as I was about to ask what had happened, the speed of the Fu ship suddenly dropped.

Under the influence of inertia, Wei Wu staggered on the spot, and Master Zheng couldn't even control the wheelchair under his butt.

If Wei Wu hadn't been quick enough to catch him, he might have slipped away.

After finally calming Master Zheng down, Wei Wu's expression also showed anger.

The boatmen on his boat are all veterans with many years of sailing experience. Under normal circumstances, even if the boat stops, it will not stop suddenly like this.

Because if the ship is sailing and the anchor is dropped into the water and stopped suddenly, it will cause great damage to the ship.

But the boatmen did just that, so there is only one possibility.

If the ship cannot be stopped urgently, it may encounter more troubles, or even the ship may be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu took a step forward and prepared to go down to the deck to inquire about the situation.

Before he could get off, a boatman ran up to him.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Wei Wu shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then immediately asked:

"It's okay. What happened? Why did you stop the boat so quickly?"

When the boatman heard Wei Wu's question, an expression of bitterness and indignation immediately appeared on his face.

"Sir, I don't want this to happen either, but, but I really have no choice. The river has been blocked, and we have to stop the boat!"

"The river was blocked by someone?"

Wei Wu repeated it casually, but he was a little confused in his heart. "The river was blocked by someone", what a niche word.
