Some pits cannot be avoided if you want to. When many people dig pits for others, they may not realize that they are digging their own graves. Just like practitioners who firmly believe that harming others is always harming themselves.

Although Zhao Ji's trust in Shen Yue seems to be well known to everyone, everyone does not treat Shen Yue the same way as they do Zhao Ji.

Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others were not trusted by Zhao Ji at the beginning, but it was common for Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and Wang Fu to have their ups and downs.

Therefore, many people have the same view on Shen Yue.

Geng Nanzhong is one of them. He has taught by the prince's side for many years and has been admonishing others all day long. Today, he was suddenly called into the palace to discuss national affairs. For him, if the emperor didn't value him, how could he act like this?

Shen Yue is by no means invincible.

But Geng Nazhong never thought that before Shen Yue fell, he, Geng Nazhong, might fall into a place of eternal destruction.

When Zhao Ji asked, Geng Nanzhong's hair stood on end and he hurriedly differentiated himself.

Shen Yue said calmly, "Geng Nanzhong feels that this is an opportunity. As long as he troubles me, he can gain the trust of the Holy One. Aren't many people not asking about the truth and only arguing about victory or defeat?"

Zhao Ji nodded slowly.

He might not have understood it in the past, but after experiencing the dangers of people's hearts, he understood it as soon as he heard it.

Staring at Geng Nanzhong, Shen Yue said in a deep voice: "But even if you are very knowledgeable, you don't know a single truth. Even if you prove that I am an ignorant person, it only proves that you are just a talker. How can you prove that you are right?" ?True cognition will compassionately turn ignorance into knowledge, but it does not rely on one's own knowledge to scorn and ridicule the ignorance of others!"

Everyone nodded, some were thoughtful, some were awe-inspiring...

Zhao Ji thought for a long time and then sighed, "Listening to Mr. Shen's words is really better than me thinking hard for many years."

As soon as he said this, the officials were surprised.

Over the years, Zhao Ji has been foolish, but Zhao Ji has also been arrogant.

Zhao Ji loved calligraphy and painting. Every time someone who was proficient in calligraphy and painting came under Zhao Ji's eye, he would criticize him. Zhao Ji might not know much about political affairs, but his attainments in calligraphy and painting were outstanding.

Everyone was either sincere or flattering, and most of them praised Zhao Ji's comment "Multiple Ten", which made Zhao Ji gradually feel that he was really gifted, so he developed the habit of listening less to others.

In this case, Zhao Ji's praise of Shen Yue can be said to be unprecedented.

Zhao Ji is speaking sincerely now.

He suddenly realized that what Shen Yue said was very reasonable. In the past, he only focused on winning or losing the debate, but did not care about whether the debate was useful.

It was only today that Zhao Ji realized the absurdity of never losing a verbal battle and never winning a real battle.

Staring at the trembling Geng Nanzhong, Shen Yue said slowly, "I just asked you what you said. Do you know what I'm asking?"

Geng Nanzhong saw Shen Yue's solemn expression, and the emperor also supported him, saying with a trembling voice, "The villain doesn't know."

Shen Yue said calmly, "What Confucius said is to support your parents and give them tactful advice. Even if your parents don't listen, you should maintain a respectful attitude, but do not violate your own code of conduct. There should be no resentment. Do you think I don't? Do you understand its meaning?"

Geng Nanzhong's face turned dark, "Master Shen understands, that is the best."

"Then what did you just say?" Shen Yue asked again.

Most of the people present did not know what Shen Yue meant.

Geng Nanzhong, who taught primary school, really couldn't understand Shen Yue's thoughts of exploring the universe. He almost cried and said, "What the villain said is the words of the sages..."

In his opinion, this is a point-guaranteing option and there is nothing wrong with it.

Shen Yue interrupted, "You talk about the ancient sages and shut up about the words of the Confucian sages, but what are you talking about?"

Someone wakes up.

Geng Nanzhong's head was covered with lard, and when he was still panicking, Shen Yue said again, "Are you a messenger of the saint, or are you a roundworm in the belly of the sage? Without the words of the saint, you would not have your own ideas?" You've been talking for a long time, but do you have any ideas of your own?"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, truly understanding what Shen Yue meant.

"A person like you, who talks about the words of the sages all day long, but cannot use the thoughts of the sages throughout his life. He only uses his words and tongue, but has no practical ability. It is like a monk who chants sutras all day long, but does not understand the meaning of the sutras and does not practice them properly. , nothing will be accomplished in the end. In that case, what's the use of your words?"

Shen Yue slowly looked at the ministers and said word by word, "What I want to hear today are your sincere words, rather than you wearing the skin of a sage and talking some useless nonsense, as if to prove that you are just like a sage, but you can do it" It’s because of your dirty thoughts. Don’t you think you can’t speak yourselves if you don’t quote other people’s words?”

As soon as the words fell, the pavilion became silent.

There are already trembling people among the officials.

Zhao Ji clapped his hands and praised, "Great talk, sir!"

Zhao Ji, who experienced the ordeal of going to Beijing and the city of eternal calamity, did not fall into the abyss of darkness. He finally surfaced temporarily. He could be said to be constantly thinking about Shen Yue's words and deeds.

His trust in Shen Yue comes from the faith in his heart.

If you don't believe in your heart, trust is just like building a tower on floating sand, it will eventually collapse.

He never gave Shen Yue an official position because he knew it was useless. But he knew that Shen Yue had no interest in it, which only increased his trust in Shen Yue.

He understands Shen Yue's meaning most thoroughly that words and deeds are of great use. Mere words may deceive those ignorant young people, but for him, Shen Yue, it is all useless.

"So you can retreat." Shen Yue stared at Geng Nanzhong and said.

No one responded.

Zhao Ji said slowly, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Shen said?"

A guard finally came to his senses, grabbed Geng Nanzhong, and dragged him outside the mansion.

There was a smell, Geng Nanzhong's crotch was wet, his legs and feet were weak as he was pinched by the guards, and he wailed, "Sir, please have mercy on me, Lord Shen, please have mercy on me..."

Everyone watched in awe as Geng Nanzhong was dragged out of the building and disappeared.

After a while, Shen Yue looked at Cai Ji and said, "Cai Daizhi, you haven't answered the question just now."

Cai Chi's face turned dark.

Only then did everyone realize that this was not a reply based on seniority, but that Shen Yue was purging the disloyal party?

The courtiers present had seen the world, so how could they not know that this was a strategy of killing one person to scare others? They had also used this method before, but when they used it on themselves, they discovered the horror of Shen Yue.

"You haven't answered the question just now." Shen Yue pressed.

Cai Wei trembled, gritted his teeth and said: "If mother makes any mistakes, I am humbled by my position... I am humbled by my position..." He clenched his hands into fists, and Cai Wei seemed to be in pain, "I dare not disobey my position."

After finishing speaking, he almost seemed to collapse to the ground.

Everyone looked at Cai Wei with some sympathy, thinking how your answer could satisfy Shen Yue. They were afraid that Shen Yue's next target would be you!

Shen Yue looked at him with pity and sighed softly, "Very good."

Everyone was stunned.

Li Bin bravely said, "What do you mean by this, sir?" He was asking questions on behalf of Zhao Ji. He secretly thought that as the emperor, he always asked Mr. Shen for advice, which was harmful to his self-esteem. As a minister, he, Li Bin, should bear this responsibility. Ignorant character.

Of course, he did not understand what Shen Yue meant by "very good".

Shen Yue said calmly, "Although the answer he gave is incorrect, it is his sincere words after all. Only by facing the sincerity can we have the possibility of solving the problem and making corrections."
