Chapter 809 - 98 Commoner, Confucian Scholar, Su Wang_4

Li Guanyi replied directly: "You may choose not to enter Jiangnan, to not contend for the world. However, if the common people merely survive without enlightenment, the Academy is not a force to dominate the world. The Academy should indeed aim to educate the world."
He raised his wine-filled cup and declared loudly: "May I ask all the scholars of the Academy, do you still remember the original Master, do you still remember traveling the world in pursuit of knowledge? May I ask you all, do you still remember the principle of teaching without discrimination?"
"The ’Rites’ say: A good singer makes others follow his tune; a good teacher makes others follow his aspiration."
"Is it that the scholars of the Academy study in the wealth of the Central State, or is it that they should walk the world?"
Chen Dingye’s and Jiang Wanxiang’s expressions changed dramatically.
They suddenly stood up.
Then slowly sat back down.
Jiang Wanxiang smiled bitterly: "This young man wants to uproot the foundations!" He slightly regretted not suppressing the young man earlier. Li Guanyi was too young, and he instinctively thought of Li Guanyi as the younger generation, thus getting pricked by his sharpness.
The scholars saw Marquis Qin Wu in a golden crown and red robe strolling through the Academy.
