Chapter 3 It's a Thorn
"Today I will talk about Mencius!"
The sunshine in Guigu is very warm, and the wind blows gently, bringing a refreshing feeling on this hot summer day.
Zhao Shuang yawned and turned her head bored.
On the side, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were all focused and listening to Xunqiu's lesson. At this time, they were still young, but they had a hint of a hero who would be the world in the future.
Guigu has a strong teacher. Although Guiguzi has always only taken two disciples, those who teach these two disciples, except Guiguzi, can only shock the world if they pick up one of them.
Since being caught by Xunqiu that day, he insisted that he had a missing book boy. Zhao Shuang was very pleased with him and requisitioned him on the spot.
Zhao Shuang was quite depressed. He looked so fond of him. Of course, he had to bow his head under the eaves.
But Zhao Shuang couldn't figure out why he had to attend class with him?
I'm the most annoying to class.
"Teacher!"
Just as Xunzi was halfway through his speech, Wei Zhuang's thorn began to attack.
"What's the matter?"
"The Master just said, 'Those who use their strength to be a benevolent will dominate, and there will be a great power', and I am puzzled."
When he was interrupted, Xunzi was not angry. He was just a visiting professor, and he was not a Confucian disciple, so he did not need to abide by Confucian etiquette.
"Where is unknown?"
"Since the three-point period of Jin State, countries have successively reformed their laws. The offensive and defensive momentum only depends on the people, cities, land, and taxes, which can be benevolence and righteousness?"
When Xunzi met such a student who was so studious and knew how to think, he was very satisfied. He touched his beard and didn't care about Wei Zhuang's confrontation at all.
That is impossible!
However, Xunzi didn't care much. In fact, the more famous teachers like him, the more interesting the students are.
"What do you think?"
"I also think that Xiaozhuang is right."
Gai Nie's voice made Zhao Shuang smile.
The academic views of various schools of thought among the various schools of thought are different, and some are even completely opposite.
Zhao Shuang didn't understand why Xunzi came to Guigu? Of course, Xunzi was just here to teach, not to accept disciples.
But this is still a bit strange.
Are you a Confucian saint, come to teach two wise men to be kind and righteous?
What is the difference between this and a smash?
The two heroes of the world have always been opposite each other, but now, Gai Nie, who has always been gentle, can't help but stand on the side of Weizhuang.
"Xiaoshuang, what do you think?"
"Benevolence and righteousness are swords, and they can also be used to combine the country and the city without spending troops."
Zhao Shuang's words attracted Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's attention.
However, Xunzi did not look much surprised.
If it were other great scholars, after hearing what Zhao Shuang said, they would have to curse and say something about the unspeakable child.
Although Xunzi was called a Confucian saint, he was an alien. Several disciples taught by him, such as Han Fei and Li Si, were all Legalists.
"What's the solution?"
"'Benevolence is based on forgiveness, and righteousness is based on faith'. At that time, Guanzi used the art of slightness and importance to help Qi 'nine combinations of princes and one to help the world'. Qi Huan combined thirty-five countries, but the name of benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world. Is it impossible for benevolence and righteousness to be a sword?"
Xunzi frowned slightly. You know, he had criticized and fought a lot about Duke Huan of Qi, the first dominant in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Duke Huan of Qi had many shining places and more black materials. He did not obey Guan Zhong's words on his deathbed, appointed Yi Ya, and Diao Shu as the prime minister, almost ruining Qi.
With the help of a group of filial sons, they did not even take down the body after their death, which is even more sad.
Zhao Shuang's statement is a new idea for Xunzi.
wrong!
Xunzi thought about it carefully. This boy was secretly hurting his words, very mean, even more thorny than Wei Zhuang!
As soon as he said this, Gai Nie looked up slightly, and his eyes flashed with light; Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes and looked at the little fat man next to him who was not astonishingly, with a complicated face.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang have always been puzzled why their teacher would let an outsider enter Guigu and study with them.
Now, they understood a little.
“That’s all for today’s schoolwork.”
Zhao Shuang was a little strange. Today's Xunzi was a little absent-minded, as if she was not in the lecture.
However, Zhao Shuang didn't care. After Xunzi said that, he jumped up suddenly, shaking his fat body, and went to eat without any nostalgia.
.........
"how?"
Guiguzi carried his hands on his back, Gai Nie and Weizhuang stood behind. Guiguzi did not explain what was going on, but they were already aware of it.
"who is he?"
Wei Zhuang's expression was very serious. Although they had been together for nearly three months, they had no idea about the identity of this little fat man.
"Is it important who he is?"
Guiguzi asked back.
"For future opponents, of course, it's important."
A raging fire broke out in Weizhuang's heart, and few people could make him feel hostile and admiration at the same time.
Gai Nie is one, and this little fat man is another.
"Nie Er, what do you think?"
"The disciple wants to know, too."
Gai Nie and Weizhuang are essentially the same type of people, and they look gentle, but their competitive spirit is no less than Weizhuang.
"You will know sooner or later in the cone, go down!"
Guiguzi did not disclose it. Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were a little unwilling to accept it and retreated.
"What a whetstone."
Xunzi smiled slightly and walked out of the side.
What kind of character is Xunzi? When I met Zhao Shuang, I realized that someone was setting up a situation and who was setting up a situation.
Guigu only accepted two disciples in all dynasties.
It’s just that the love of talent is both Guiguzi and Xunzi.
Guiguzi needs a legitimate excuse to let Zhao Shuang enter Guigu.
"This old guy Zhao Laosi has been retreating to the valley since the Chu State retreated completely in Nanjun. Unexpectedly, this game was set up to lead me to the bait."
Zhao Laosi hoped that the Qilin talent in the clan was taught by a famous teacher. Guiguzi wanted this whetstone to sharpen his two disciples, while Xunzi couldn't bear to see this talent wandering among the bandits all day long and wasting his talents.
"Taigong fishes, and those who are willing to take the bait. If you don't want to, who can force you?"
Guiguzi smiled and told a fact.
"Well! March is approaching, and I wanted to take Zhao Shuang back to Xiaoshengxian Village and teach again. But something suddenly happened. I must rush back to Qi as soon as possible. I will be inconvenient to bring him with me. Let's leave him in Guigu for the time being!"
"Is he going to come out?"
Guiguzi's face changed and he seemed to understand what urgent matter Xunzi said?
"The Xiang family has been frequently in and out of Eguan Mountain recently, and he has become a little moved."
Xunzi sighed slightly and shook his head.
"If everyone in this world could be as happy as Zhao Laosi, there would be no such disputes in the world."
"It's easy to know and do things in the world. It's been fifty years, is he still unwilling to give up?"
Guiguzi raised his head and watched, the clouds rolled in the sky, and the wind sounded loudly beside his ears.
The times create heroes, and heroes can also create momentum.
In this great battle for hundreds of years, countless heroes have appeared, trying to change this troubled times with their own strength.
Some have succeeded for the time being, while others are still waiting for the opportunity.
After Xunzi left, the house was empty and Guiguzi touched his beard. The sky was calm, but he could already feel the upcoming rain.
