057 Xunzi, Confucianism

 Zhao Zheng, who was struggling, was overjoyed when he heard the news.

I finally understood that Prime Minister Cao was so anxious when he ran out without wearing shoes, he was forced to do so.

But Zhao Zheng still calmed down, tidied up his clothes first, and then walked to the lobby. After all, Confucianism values ​​etiquette the most, and it would be difficult to get Master Xun to go into the bowl obediently if the first meeting left a bad feeling.

In the lobby, Han Fei and Li Si were just like their grandsons, giving advice to Master Xun, just like mice meeting a cat.

This metaphor may not be vivid enough. Master Xun was tall and thin, but his spirit was pure and handsome, and he had an immortal demeanor.

He really doesn’t look like an old man.

Zhao Zheng did not dare to be disrespectful. Master Xun was not only a representative figure of Confucianism, but also the master of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin era.

The world is full of peaches and plums, and he has also taught Han Fei, Li Si, Zhang Cang, Mao Heng, Fu Qiu Bo, Lu Jia and others. The above are those whose names have been left in history, and there are even more who have not left their names.

Zhao Zheng looked solemn, bowed solemnly, and said, "Meet Xunzi."

As I have said before, the son of Chunqiu is the highest achievement and the highest honor. Zhao Zheng called Han Fei his son and Han Fei did not dare to take it, but Master Xun was sure of it.

I just glanced at Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng, the King of Qin, used his skills and skills...

Facing Master Xun's Zhao Zheng, I felt like I was going back to the school in my previous life and facing the dean...an illusion.

Illusion, this must be an illusion, we are Brother Zheng, only Brother Zheng yells at others, how can others dare to yell at Brother Zheng.

"The King of Qin is planning to ask me, let's not put aside the purpose of my coming here. Should I first explain what I did at the head of Nanyang City?"

Speaking of this, the smiling Master Xun just glanced around, a breath passed by, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Zhao Zheng was frightened in his heart, Yuan Shen warned, and he started to complain wildly in his heart, you call this a scholar, you call this a lack of martial arts, this is clearly a big shot at the level of the religious hierarchy, and it is very possible that he is even above the religious hierarchy.

Zhao Zheng, who was always full of gossip, didn't dare to be shy at all at this time, and said seriously: "If Master Xun asks for guilt, the little King Qin cannot bear it, so I ask you to stay steady in Taiyi Mountain."

Master Xun smiled slightly and said: "What if I bully the small with the big?"

Zhao Zheng's lips curled up slightly, "Master Xun, you must be careful, because you can't bear it alone, but your Confucian scholars and grandsons may not be able to."

Zhao Zhengyan's logic couldn't be simpler. You can bully the small with the big, but don't forget that Brother Zheng can also bully the small with the big.

Master Xun was not angry. He was not here to ask for punishment in the first place. Even if he really wanted to ask for punishment, he would have asked for it from the Taoists because of his status. To attack the junior Zhao Zheng was just to lower himself.

Master Xun only found it interesting at this time. It had been a long time since he had met such an eclectic "child", especially since this child was the king of a country, so the fun was doubled.

"I didn't want to leave at first." Master Xun changed the subject and said, "But I was alarmed by King Qin's behavior of subduing the enemy's troops without fighting!"

Alarmed?

Zhao Zheng was puzzled for a moment as to why Master Xun was talking about being alarmed. He quickly recalled Master Xun’s information and then suddenly realized it.

To use the terminology of previous lives, Zhao Zheng's act of intimidation with bows and crossbows was military intimidation, forcing the kings to start a corresponding arms race.

During the Warring States Period, there were frequent wars and wars between countries. Killing people was as easy as crushing an ant.

Princes are competing for hegemony, wars are on the rise, and the flower-growing territory is constantly being re-divided as various princes compete to play the leading role. The majority of the people at the bottom are living in ruins and are as humble as ants.

There are endless battles between princes, with blood flowing in the oars, bones left in the field, and hundreds of thousands of people killed in battles everywhere. The technological improvement of powerful bows and crossbows means the expansion of bloodshed.

, there will be more and greater casualties and major tragedies.

How could Master Xun let such a man-made disaster go unchecked? Originally, he had paid off the bet between Zhao Zheng and Han Fei, but now, he is here.

If Zhao Zheng was not in his eyes, it would not be impossible for Master Xun to sacrifice his life to assassinate Zhao Zheng, the "tyrant", in order to save lives.

At this time, Zhao Zheng was not aware of the danger, and was thinking about conquering Master Xun in order to continue his thousand-year plan.

"War is the continuation of politics..."

Master Xun's mind perked up, and his already upright body unconsciously became more upright, without any seriousness.

Han Fei and Li Si, who were standing next to him, were secretly stunned. Their mentor/teacher was becoming serious.

Zhao Zheng muttered: "Under the current situation where all the kings in the world do not act as kings and are actually 'showing off'.

Even if the Qin kings in the past dynasties did not work hard to govern and strive for strength, they never failed. In this way, the Qin State has achieved its current situation."

"The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the fate of destiny lies with Qin. No matter how hard the kings of other countries rise up, they are nothing more than duckweeds." At this point, Zhao Zheng paused for a moment and said:

"For Yu Gu, defeating all the kings of the Six Kingdoms has never been a problem. The problem is how to conquer the hearts of the Six Kingdoms so that all things in the Chinese civilization can prosper together."

"All things prosper together, all things... prosper together..." Master Xun murmured: "Prosperity, prosperity... color!"

Zhao Zheng's pupils flickered, and a tyrannical aura that looked down on the world appeared out of nowhere, expelling Master Xun's "big boss aura" and raised his voice:

"Confucianism is very good, it opens up people's wisdom, spreads ideas, and flourishes morality."

This is an important part of inheriting civilization. After affirming it, it is denied, "But today's Confucian scholars, I don't like it."

The reason why Master Xun became the current "Legalist" and taught two pure Legalist disciples, Han Fei and Li Si, was because he was also not satisfied with the current Confucianism.

Master Xun pretended to be displeased, "I wonder which Confucian article violates the taboo of the King of Qin?"

It was "that one". There were so many rules and thieves, Zhao Zheng said casually: "The etiquette and order between the monarch and his ministers, father and son, are ridiculous!"

Master Xun no longer argued, but asked "casually" as well: "I wonder why the King of Qin summoned me?"

Zhao Zhengdi complained as if he was losing his mind: "Guyu wants to use this Nanyang County as a pilot to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and everything will be renewed.

It's a pity that Li Si is so conservative and Han Fei is also half-empty. Why do you need so much power and maneuvering on a blank test paper..."

As soon as he finished doing it, Zhao Zheng suddenly reacted and vomited everything out.

Zhao Zheng calmed down his expression, raised his hands to Master Xun and said: "What a good method, but I am so sincere, otherwise..."

Otherwise, he was afraid that the club would die. Zhao Zheng glanced at Han Fei and Li Si, who were around Master Xun, and nodded slightly, "Li Si is only an official, and Han Fei's Confucianism and Dharma can only govern a city."

Zhao Zheng's eyes returned to Master Xun with a candid and eager look, "For Yu Gu, unification is only a matter of time, and governing the mountains and rivers of the six countries is the difficulty.

Qin's laws are strict, and the people of Qin are actually not living a good life.
