Shen Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "The runaway carriage in the Royal City is a metaphor for the crisis brought about by Master Lu's new learning."
"Brother Yunxiao just mentioned that Xun Sheng said something before he spoke."
Huang Yunxiao was stunned and said, "A boat sails swiftly, but a sharp turn will capsize it?"
Shen Yuan nodded and continued, "What Xun Sheng meant by this was that he acknowledged Master Lu's new learning, but reforms need to proceed slowly; rushing will lead to terrible consequences."
"I believe Master Lu understood his meaning at that time."
"Xun Sheng then presented the argument of the runaway carriage, where the three people in the carriage represent heaven and the ruler, while the pedestrians on the road represent the common people. The carriage symbolizes 'new learning' and the driver is Master Lu."
"Xun Sheng was warning Master Lu that letting 'new learning' run wild would result in very serious consequences."
