"Disciple Cui Yan, meeting Master Guan!"

Cui Yan said this.

Everyone in the hall instantly understood the identity of the visitor.

Everyone stood up from their seats at the same time.

The look he gave the newcomer was full of respect.

"So he is Guan Ning. Legend has it that he was Cui Biejia's master. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Next to Cao Zhi, Chen Lin exclaimed.

Seeing Cao Zhi looking over, Chen Lin explained:

"This man's name is Guan Ning. He is a great Confucian scholar of the time and one of the representatives of Confucian classics. If people respect Kong Rong because of his bloodline, then people respect Guan Ning because of his true talent and knowledge..."

Under Chen Lin's introduction.

Cao Zhi finally understood.

Why are there so many people in the hall?

After hearing the word "Master Guan".

There will be such a big reaction.

It turns out that Confucianism developed to the Han Dynasty.

A very important doctrine was formed, namely Confucian classics.

The so-called classics are the annotations of the classics of sages.

And the reason why this theory was born.

Mainly because.

Confucianism was born in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After the Warring States Period and the late Qin Dynasty.

Most of the Confucian classics that have been preserved are incomplete.

And this kind of ruin led to the later scholars.

When studying the same book, the same article, or the same sentence.

There are different understandings of the same knowledge point.

Logically speaking, this flourishing scene is more conducive to the development of Confucianism.

But this kind of Confucianism is obviously not conducive to the rulers' rule.

In the eyes of the rulers.

For an article, it is enough to have one meaning.

At this time, Confucian classics were born.

At the behest of the rulers.

Those world-famous scholars were elected.

They use their knowledge.

Annotated Confucian classics.

The books they annotated.

Officially recognized and promoted.

The government uses this as a basis to select suitable talents for its own use.

And those who annotated the classics.

He also became a representative figure of Confucian classics.

Sought after by the government and major aristocratic families.

Wherever he goes, he is always a guest of honor.

Guan Ning is one of the representative figures of Confucian classics.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in the hall at this moment.

Anyone who has read "The Book of Songs" and "The Book of Documents" has read Guan Ning's annotations.

"Fuck you! Who invited this great god here? Judging from his attitude, he seems to look down on my Cao family!"

Recalling what Guan Ning had just said, Cao Zhi couldn't help but frown.

However, considering that Guan Ning was Cui Yan's master.

So Cao Zhi decided to give Cui Yan some face.

Remain silent for now.

Let Cui Yan handle the matter.

……

the other side.

Cui Yan after meeting Guan Ning.

He immediately bowed and invited Guan Ning to sit in the seat of honor.

After thinking about coaxing Guan Ning.

Then he introduced Cao Zhi to Guan Ning.

In the hope that both sides can turn hostility into friendship.

After all, Cao Zhi's talent is there.

With Guan Ning's love for talent, he would definitely accept Cao Zhi.

But what disappointed Cui Yan was.

Guan Ning did not give him this face.

"Ji Gui, what did I tell you when I was teaching you? I said that scholars like us should know etiquette and know right from wrong. How can you be my disciple if you don't know right from wrong?"

Guan Ning scolded Cui Yan harshly.

"Master, what I am saying is that I have indeed neglected my studies after becoming the head of the family for these years. I am at fault!"

Cui Yan admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.

He did not lose face because of his status as the head of the family.

Seeing that Cui Yan's attitude was acceptable, Guan Ning immediately felt confident.

He glanced at Cao Zhi and saw that Cao Zhi was also silent at the moment.

Guan Ning felt more confident.

"Hmph! Don't change the subject. You know I'm not talking about you being the head of the family. I'm talking about why you married the Cui family's daughter to Cao Cao's son!"

"When Cao Mengde was in Wancheng, he killed his eldest son Cao Ang and General Dian Wei because of his lust. His son Cao Zhi, upon entering Yecheng, abducted Yuan Xi's wife Zhen..."

"Both father and son are lustful. With such character, how can they be worthy of the daughter of the Cui family? Ji Gui, you are confused!"

Guan Ning said with great sorrow.

Accompanied by Guan Ning's words.

Sweat immediately broke out on Cui Yan's forehead.

As for everyone present.

At this moment, he was trembling and silent.

Because they couldn't afford to offend either Guan Ning or Cao Zhi.

As for Cao Zhi, he had a gloomy face.

At this moment, Cao Zhi finally understood.

This old guy came to my house this time just to ruin my marriage!

Moreover, I chose this time specifically to come.

Obviously, he doesn't leave himself any way out.

"Damn it! How did I offend this old man? How dare he plot against me like this?"

Cao Zhi cursed in his heart.

He looked at Cui Yan, then at everyone in the hall.

Cao Zhi knew.

If I don’t solve the Guan Ning issue today.

Then, in the future, I will forget about forming an alliance with the Hebei gentry.

After all, this little thing can't be solved.

How could those nobles dare to put their entire families under the pressure of themselves?

"Why, you're reluctant to give up the Cao family's wealth and splendor? Do you think that marrying into the Cao family will allow the Cui family to rise to a higher level? But is the Cao family a good match?"

"Cao Cao is nominally a Han minister, but in reality he's a traitor to the Han. This is known to the world. Everyone is trying to avoid the Cao family, but you actually tried to get close to them. Ji Gui, you've fallen!"

Seeing that Cui Yan was still hesitating, Guan Ning continued.

"Fuck you, it's never going to end, is it?"

Seeing that Guan Ning actually started personal attacks, Cao Zhi became angry.

Just when Cao Zhi was about to lose his temper.

But Cui Yan said:

"Fourth Young Master, please leave first. I will come to your house to apologize after the matter is resolved!"

Cao Zhi: “???”

Seeing that it had come to this point and Cui Yan actually asked him to give in, Cao Zhi couldn't help but become even angrier.

"Fourth Young Master, Master Guan is a world-renowned scholar. It will be of no benefit to you to go against him. You should leave first!"

Cui Yan whispered.

Well, it turns out that he was still afraid that I was no match for Guan Ning.

However, what if he can't even deal with Guan Ning?

Then how can I deal with Cao Pi and the Henan gentry!

Thought of this.

Cao Zhi immediately drew the sword from his waist.

Under everyone's gaze.

Cao Zhi directly put the sword on Guan Ning's neck.

"Fourth Young Master, don't!"

Cui Yan was shocked to see that Cao Zhi dared to use violence against Guan Ning.

"The Fourth Young Master is a world-renowned scholar and cannot be easily offended!"

Chen Lin also spoke at this time.

"You must know that when Sikong killed Bian Rang, he angered Zhang Miao and the Yanzhou nobles, and ultimately brought about Lü Bu's disaster. Guan Ning was more important than Bian Rang..."

Seeing that Cao Zhi was unmoved.

Chen Lin quickly brought up the incident of "Cao Cao killing Bian Rang" to persuade Cao Zhi.

As for Guan Ning, he heard Chen Lin say this.

Knowing that his life is not in danger.

So he sneered and said:

"Kill me, do you dare?"

"Little beast, do you believe that if you kill me today, all the scholars in the world will stand up against your Cao family tomorrow!"

"If you know what's best for you, kneel down and kowtow to me and apologize now. Otherwise, if you get to your father, it won't be as simple as just a simple kowtow!"

"Why don't I dare?"

Facing Guan Ning's gaze, Cao Zhi joked.

Then, Cao Zhi looked around the room and laughed:

"Everyone, this old dog just insulted my father in front of me. If I don't kill him, I'd be unworthy of being a son!"

……

"If I don't kill him, I'd be unworthy of being a son!"

As soon as Cao Zhi said this.

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

As for Cui Yan, he was originally worried about Cao Zhi, but now he couldn't help but worry about Guan Ning.

the reason is simple.

Because in the Han Dynasty.

If someone insults a person's father in front of him.

So as a son.

There is no penalty for killing the insulter.

Not only will you not be penalized.

On the contrary, the authorities will praise this person and publicize the matter.

The reason for this is that during the Han Dynasty, filial piety was promoted as the way to govern the world.

The relationship between father and son is the basic moral code.

No one can shake it.

At this moment, after hearing Cao Zhi's reason.

Guan Ning panicked.

For the first time, panic appeared in Guan Ning's eyes.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but sneer:

"So you old dog can be scared too!"

As he spoke, Cao Zhi raised his hand and chopped down.
