Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 687: Chapter 628: The Law is a Game for the Strong!

Zhang San was leading the students out, and they could only obediently follow behind him.

After all, this teacher was not merely an educator; he had also come from the battlefield.

Moreover, the Capital was filled with various stories about this unruly character, which made everyone naturally fear Zhang San when facing him.

After Zhang San had led them out of Law Class A, he walked along the small river within the Imperial College, soon noticing four connected classrooms by the river ahead.

The classroom in front was Literature Class A.

A Great Scholar, who was the teacher of this class, was lecturing the students.

Of course, on the first day of school, the teachers generally would not conduct an official lesson but would start by introducing themselves before letting the students introduce themselves to each other.

Then, they would share some of their own life values and understanding of the subjects they taught.

At this moment, the Great Scholar was explaining to the students what loyalty, filial piety, kindness, and righteousness meant.

"Loyalty means to be devoted to your king and your country! Like in the great battle at Longyun Path, countless soldiers fought valiantly, bleeding for their loyalty!"

Hearing this, Zhang San nodded in approval, saying to the students behind him, "Although this Great Scholar is elderly, he understands the soldiers’ hardships, a respectable figure indeed; such is rare."

In fact, many students knew that Zhang San’s reputation was the worst among the Confucians.

Yet, they were surprised that their teacher could actually praise a Confucian Great Scholar, which altered their perception of Zhang San.

However, just then, the Great Scholar in Literature Class A continued, "Like Zhang San, who conspired with Tujue, is disloyal."

The students outside were startled upon hearing this.

Great Scholar, what are you saying?

Before you speak, shouldn’t you check whether the person you just mentioned is standing outside?

Speaking ill of someone behind their back isn’t nice, but doing it to their face seems even worse!

The students from Law Class A cautiously observed Zhang San, who was standing still and watching the Literature Class A’s classroom.

At this moment, Zhang San’s face carried a gentle smile, like a refreshing spring breeze, as he looked at the Great Scholar inside the Literature Class A room.

"Filial piety means obedience to one’s parents and elders. Like in the great battle at Longyun Path, numerous young people followed their parents’ advice and joined the army to serve their country, showing both loyalty and filial piety."

Then, a student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, what about Zhang San?"

Upon this question, the students burst into laughter.

The Great Scholar said, "Although Zhang San is the chief disciple of the Legalist leader Pharaoh, his conduct is disgraceful, lacking any of Pharaoh’s virtues and strengths. He is truly unfilial."

"Let’s continue our discussion, and not always bring up such a despicable person like Zhang San."

As the Great Scholar spoke, he resumed lecturing, "Benevolence means having a heart of compassion and righteousness. I heard when Emperor Kaihuang first arrived at Ren City, he captured tens of thousands of Tujue soldiers, yet he did not kill the prisoners, instead granting them a chance to live. This is benevolence! Whereas Zhang San stripped those released Tujue soldiers of their clothes, letting them return in the freezing cold, demonstrating his lack of benevolence."

The students from Law Class A were sweating for the Great Scholar.

Because someone had already noticed that Zhang San was getting angry.

Well...it was his fists that were getting clenched.

"As for righteousness... does anyone know what it is?"

Just then, a voice came from outside Literature Class A.

"I know."

Before the echo faded, Zhang San had stepped towards the Literature Class A room.

The Great Scholar, who had been focused on... flexibly teaching, had not noticed someone was outside.

But many students had noticed that since the beginning, this person with several students had been standing outside. They were also very curious about what these people were doing there. It couldn’t be that someone from the Imperial College was checking in during class, catching unruly students to be punished, right?

"Righteousness is about morality, trust, and responsibility. Like during the battle at Longyun Path, Wang Junwu, although a commander from Jin River, led his troops to assist, showing not only loyalty towards the country but also righteousness towards his comrades. But Zhang San, who falsely claimed military merits, declaring that he single-handedly drove back four armies of Tujue to steal the limelight, is unrighteous."

The Great Scholar nodded in approval.

The reason he had asked the students was that he couldn’t think of how to vilify Zhang San on the point of righteousness.

He never expected to encounter such a like-minded person here.

He assessed the newcomer from head to toe, asking, "Might you be the new teacher at the Imperial College, sir? I see your attire is different from the students’, yet I have not seen you before."

Zhang San bowed to the Great Scholar, smiling as he replied, "Indeed. I am Zhang San, newly appointed by Emperor Kaihuang himself. I came specifically to teach everyone here."

"To teach? Wait... you are Zhang San!?"

At that moment, the Great Scholar was shocked, never having expected this young man to be Zhang San!

And the students of Literature Class A were stupefied.

Zhang San was a teacher at the Imperial College!?

Although their own teacher spoke ill of Zhang San, since he was Zhang San’s colleague and a Great Confucian, Zhang San probably wouldn’t take offense.

But they were just students of the Imperial College, whereas Zhang San was a teacher there; they had also been speaking ill of Zhang San just now, so how could they not be doomed now?

At this moment, the visibly flustered Great Scholar tremulously pointed at Zhang San, asking, "You... you... what lesson are you going to teach us?"

Zhang San smiled faintly, softly saying, "Naturally, it’s an important lesson in life!"

Zhang San gestured to the students behind him with a wave of his hand.
