If you were born in a peaceful and prosperous era and the world was clear and clear, and like Confucianism, it might work, and imitate sages, it might be possible. Even if you do not seek good rewards, at least you will not cause bad consequences and become victims of being trampled by force.

Unfortunately, when is this now?

This is a chaotic Warring States period with heroes and jackals everywhere!

In order to compete for territory and hegemony, wars are everywhere, and people will bleed to death every day. In such a cruel world, I still want to be a gentleman who is not a fight. Is this reality? Even if you want to hide, troubles will still fall on you.

War is a collection of sins in the entire era. Unlike Xunzi who said that good and evil are difficult to distinguish. It is the most realistic, and it is basically a murder for money. As long as the war continues for a day and the world remains unchanged, the soldiers who invade cities on the battlefield are all bloodthirsty demons.

If Yang Zheng stepped onto the battlefield and fought bravely to fight the enemy, there was no need to distinguish right from wrong. Anyway, those who died in the sword box were all enemies, and those who sucked and sucked were all enemies' blood. How should we judge this behavior?

Is there still a discussion about the right path and the devil path?

Yang Zheng is Yang Zheng. In just one sentence, Xunzi was brought back from his noble moral code to cruel reality, speechless.

This is not a peaceful and prosperous era, a great army of all countries, and a tiger and wolf. Which one is not a person who eats people and does not spit out bones.

The demons danced around and everyone was indulging in desires. Yang Zheng didn't have to worry about the so-called righteous demons. As long as he joined the army, conquered cities and lands for a country, and opened peace for all ages, he would not only not become a demon, but also a great man from Qianqiu who ended the troubled times and saved the people from water and fire.

In this way, is it still contradictory?

Seeing Xunzi fall into silence, Yang Zheng lay on the couch and thought quietly that it would not work if he was born in troubled times.

Let me not kill anyone?

Please, I am Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages!

After I ascend to the throne, even if I don’t want to kill people, countless people will think of assassinating me every day. The blood of those enemies alone is enough to make my cultivation soar. There is no need to take the initiative to find someone to kill. But you advise me to give up such convenient means?

Xunzi thought for a long time and sighed: "Mencius said, "I agree with the fact that there is no righteous battle in the Spring and Autumn Period. In today's world, countries are fighting against each other, and there is no need for any name for starting a military command. In essence, they are all robbing. If you want to go to the battlefield, there is indeed no distinction between good and evil, right and wrong."

In the face of powerful military force, morality is so vulnerable. Even Xunzi was a saint with great cultivation, he could not change this era by his own strength. Even the most saint Confucius sighed that the rituals and music were broken and helpless.

If there is really a person who can sweep across the nations, unify the world quickly, and restore social stability, then even if he adopts iron-blooded means and decisive killing, who can simply judge his right and wrong, and accuse him of being a murderer?

Yang Zheng's thoughts have reached the highest point of this era.

If I dominate the world for generations, who would say I am a demon?

Xunzi closed his eyes and meditated, "But if you are determined to fight in the battlefield, you must consider clearly which wise monarch should be assisted and who will end the troubled times. Otherwise, you will help the evil and become the butcher knife in the hands of the tyrant, which is more terrifying than being possessed by the demon."

This is equivalent to asking Yang Zheng, which country do you want to fight for?

Yang Zheng didn't say anything and pretended not to understand the implicit meaning.

Xunzi said bluntly: "As far as I know, you are a Korean and are about to marry into the Jimo Tian family. Do you want to stay in the Jimo army, be loyal to the Qi royal family, or return to your hometown and defend your country?"

When he said this, he suddenly realized that Yang Zheng's motive for considering these was to combine them with his identity. Tian Dan's grandson-in-law would of course go to the battlefield in the future and kill the enemy in blood.

He didn't know that Yang Zheng's ambition was much greater than he thought.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zheng replied: "This is related to the second question I want to ask you. If... I mean, if I am the crown prince of a country and have the opportunity to inherit the throne in the future, then my heart of Tao is broken and I cannot realize the truth, can I still practice the way of the emperor?"

Since he learned the truth yesterday, this doubt has always been lingering in his heart and cannot be gone. Unfortunately, after the Dragon Soul opened his meridians, it disappeared in a hurry. He had no time to consult it, so he had to ask Xunzi, whom he trusted the most.

This kind of top secret is related to the fate of the emperor and the fortune of a country, and ordinary people cannot know it. Only these peak powerhouses can get closer to the truth.

Xunzi's face changed drastically, of course he would not naively think that Yang Zheng just said casually and said in disbelief: "Why do you want to inquire about this? Are you really..."

If Yang Zheng was really the prince of a certain country and had the hope of inheriting the throne in the future, Xunzi's previous questions would have become nonsense. A dignified king of a country, of course, defends the royal power and leads the soldiers under his command to fight. How could he work for Qi again?

He suddenly realized that he warned Yang Zheng not to be possessed, and it turned out that there was a greater significance. Just imagine, if a king of a country became blood-killing and was a blood-devouring maniac, how terrifying it would be, the whole country would suffer under its tyranny.

Yang Zheng did not agree, but in fact he was not sure. There was no evidence to determine his identity at present. The reason why he asked this was because he was afraid that there would be no teacher around him who could guide him after he returned to Zhao State, so he wanted to find out the answer in advance.

"I'm afraid you misunderstood, so I specifically said several ifs. To be honest, I have a friend who respects him as a royal prince, but his practice status is similar to mine. I asked him..."

Xunzi has lived for so many years, so how could he be so easily deceived? He opened his eyes and stared at him and asked: "Which country are you referring to? Don't tell me it's Han Fei. His Taoist foundation is stable, but it's not as miserable as you!"

Yang Zheng was stunned and smiled bitterly, "It's the prince Zheng of Qin. You know, the Qin King has just succeeded to the throne. He used to be a hostage in Zhao for many years and gave birth to Ying Zheng. Now he is still wandering in Zhao. I have the honor to know him..."

Xunzi was half-believing and half-doubted, and did not continue to ask.

It's very simple. King Ying Yiren of Zhuangxiang of Qin only succeeded to the throne last year. The information at that time was not as developed as it is now. There were also global entertainment gossip. It was impossible for the people of other vassal states to know what Ying Yiren's illegitimate son was called, where is it now, etc.

Xunzi is not a time traveler, so of course he doesn't know that there is a person named Ying Zheng. He can only think that what Yang Zheng said is not fake, so he will not go into it further based on the experience of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.

How could he have thought that Yang Zheng was talking about himself.

"There is a saying in the world of cultivation that you should have heard of, called "one life, two fortunes, three Feng Shui, four accumulations of good deeds and five readings." For every practitioner, although the methods of practice are different, they all desire something equally important, called luck."

Yang Zheng once heard Li Si explain this sentence. At that time, it was because of the word "destiny" that he vaguely guessed his life experience. Today's topic returned to this word.
