Ever since Zhao Kuo commented on the doctrine of a hundred schools of thought and "provoked" them to come to debate, it was as if the pot had exploded everywhere.

At this moment, Zhao Guo's influence is not as good as before, only in Zhao Guo, his influence has covered the Seven Kingdoms, especially after the circulation of Ma Fushu, his words and deeds can have a huge impact, he commented on many schools of thought at will in the school, and there is a faint sense of contempt for the hundred schools of thought, which of course makes those scholars who have questioned his doctrine even more angry, and they have driven to Zhao State.

For these scholars, the monarchs ordered their officials to escort them and provide them with shelter.

When a large number of scholars rushed to Zhao from various countries, there were also considerable scholars who met on the road. When the Mohists met Confucianism, when the famous met Confucianism, and when the Taoists met Confucianism, they would quarrel, to be precise, no matter what school of thought Confucianism encountered, they would quarrel, and even Confucianism would quarrel when they met Confucianism, and the most scholars were naturally in the Qi country.

When the scholars of Qi rushed to Zhao one after another, these people who hated each other inevitably rested in the same place and hurried together, so the officials along the road saw this surprised them, more than a dozen carriages, ox carts were slowly advancing, and the people on the carriages were debating with each other, sometimes several people against one person, sometimes a group of people against a group of people.

"Ma Fujun is right, I heard that to govern the country, we must put the people first, take the people as the foundation, if the monarch loses the support of the people, then he himself is not as good as a slave, for the monarch, the power brought by the monarch's position, he must also urge him to carry out his obligations..."

"Nonsense!!" "The king is supposed to be benevolent, but how can you say that the people are above the king?" It's like you say, "The status of a son is higher than that of a father, and the people should be respectful to the king as a son is to his father, and the father is at fault, and the son can remind him, but how can he hate his father because of it?" ”

"Huh! Originally, we didn't want to participate in the internal dispute of Confucianism, but when you mentioned the king and the people, I had to speak. I support Meng's Confucianism! Xunzi once compared the relationship between the monarch and the people to water and boats, rather than father and son... What we call Wuhou and respect is that like Meng's Confucianism, the king and the people are equal, each has its own obligations, the people have to farm, and the king has to govern the country! ”

"Their relationship is not that of father and son, but of equal friends, of helping each other and supporting each other!"

"Shut up! Confucianism is here to debate the scriptures, what does this have to do with you? It is because everyone in the world ignores such a relationship of dignity and inferiority that there are traitors and thieves, murdering kings, and killing fathers, and these faults are all because of your famous family! ”

"I think he is right, the people of the world love each other, you say benevolent government, but you want the people to serve the monarch like slaves, what you say about benevolent government is the king's charity? What we mean by benevolence is the love of the people of the world for each other, the monarch loves the people, and the people love the monarch..."

"Ridiculous!! Ridiculous!! ”

The officials looked at this scene, watching the old men arguing with red faces, almost pulling each other's beards and fighting, it can be said that they are having fun, they can also brag to their friends in the future, and they are also people who have seen the world. In the midst of such quarrels, everyone was getting closer and closer to Zhao Guo, and the roads were crowded with horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and scholars.

And the contradiction is also stimulated to the apex.

"Qi Mo is wearing such luxurious clothes, has he forgotten Mozi's philosophy?!"

"Qin Mo, who is abusive, what kind of concept does he have to mention Mozi?"

"You don't have to quarrel, Qi Mo didn't encroach on Qin Mo's interests, Qin Mo didn't hurt Qi Mo, I heard that the two don't interfere with each other, the two don't interfere with each other, and the overall harmony of society can be achieved through the self-improvement of the individual...."

"Oh? I thought that the scholars of Yang Zhu's doctrine were still alone in the deep mountains and old forests, so why did they come to meet Ma Fujun? Why can't you do it yourself? I think you can hide in the mountains and not disturb Ma Fujun. ”

When scholars from various countries and factions collided together, the scene was very interesting, on this road, the Mo family was the first to quarrel, the three factions of the Mo family, the relationship is the worst, Qin Mo and Chu Mo feel that Qi Mo no longer maintains a simple life, Qi Mo and Chu Mo feel that Qin Mo is abusive, Qin Mo and Qi Mo feel that Chu Mo is acting nonsense. Although there are many factions in Confucianism and there is a lot of controversy, they will not fight like the Mohists.

Especially after an ox cart from Chu appeared in the rear, the Confucian scholars whispered and hurriedly stopped arguing.

On the ox cart, there was an old man full of charm, snow-white hair and beard, so that he did not look like a mortal, when Xun Guo appeared here, the Confucian scholars were stunned, they talked to each other about the news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and immediately turned the ox cart to meet the sage. The Confucian scholars surrounded the place, and everyone got out of the ox cart and saluted the ox cart.

Xunzi squinted his eyes and looked at the people in front of him.

"Second and third sons, what kind of cheap Confucians are they?" , He opened his mouth to ask, everyone lowered their heads, their faces were red, but they couldn't speak, only the Confucians of the Xun clan who followed Xunzi raised their heads high at this moment, and looked at the Confucians in front of them, the Confucians had no way to reprimand, who let them not have a living sage? Although Xunzi is not the same school as them, and he is not even very likable, he is still recognized as a living sage of Confucianism.

Xunzi once scolded all the factions of Confucianism, and even his own faction did not fall behind, which can be described as a completely ruthless person. When the Confucian scholars introduced themselves, Xunzi nodded, he didn't speak, just let the Confucian scholars continue to hurry. The Confucian scholars did not dare to be as rude as Fang Cai, and saw that the Confucianism of the Qidiao clan, who had just made the most noise, gently made way for the Confucianism of the Meng family.

The most irritable Zixia Zhiru was like a gentle sheep, walking beside Xunzi with a smile on his face.

Fang Cai also scolded Xun's Confucianism for being a beast Meng's Confucianism, and at this moment, he was even more smiling and talking about Xunzi's doctrine, and couldn't help but admire.

The Confucian scholars quickly united, and the many schools driving in front of them, when they saw the many Confucian schools in the back that seemed to have become like brothers, suddenly felt that something was wrong, this must be something happened, so one of Qi Mo slowed down, drove in front of the Confucians, and said loudly: "The Ink Scholars need to keep their heads down and hurry to find the most suitable road to reach the Zhao Kingdom, while the Confucians just look at the people walking in front of them and follow their footsteps." ”

"If you don't accumulate the experience of your predecessors, you only know that you can charge forward arrogantly, and those who eventually fall off the cliff are people like Moshi, who can continue to accumulate experience, and through learning, follow the path left by their predecessors, and continue to explore, it is people like Confucianism!" , Suddenly, someone said behind the ink man, and the Qi Mo ordered the driver to stop, and then looked back angrily.

I saw those Confucian scholars looking at him arrogantly, and they all got out of the way, so that he could see the person who spoke, an old man sitting on an ox cart, the old man was staring at him, and suddenly said: "It turns out that the ink master also knows how to stop and look behind him?" The ink man was shocked, looked at the old Confucian seriously, looked at it for a moment, and his face changed greatly, "Xunzi..."

Seeing that Qi Mo fleeing in the wilderness, the Confucian scholars laughed, and suddenly they were full of confidence, with Xunzi in charge, see which one dares to provoke our Confucian?

Soon, the news of Xunzi's arrival was reached in the ears of those scholars in front, and they were all a little surprised, didn't they say that Xunzi was in the Chu State? How did it end up here? However, it's better to hurry up and not provoke the old man... It's not fear, it's respect, well, it's respect.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo looked at the more than 30 people in front of him, most of these people are from the Yan Kingdom, there are Taoists, famous families, Confucianists, and even doctors. Zhao Kuo was not rude, even if most of the people came to Mafu Township with great momentum, but he still respectfully invited these people to the courtyard, had dinner with them, and chatted about family life, Zhao Kuo's attitude made those people unable to say anything if they wanted to be accountable.

After they rested for two days, Zhao Kuo welcomed them to the school.

Zou Yan, Gongsun Long, and Zhan also came here, however, when Gongsun Long met Zou Yan, he always lowered his head and didn't want to talk to him, Zou Yan chatted with Zhan, and the two actually chatted, Zhan thinks that the time of day is an important condition for Nongsang, and Zou Yan thinks the same, he thinks that the time of day affects everything... When these people all sat down, Zhao Kuofang began to debate with them.

The first to speak was the Taoist of Yan State, this is an old man, it is said that he is very good friends with the current minister of Qin State, he raised his head and said with emotion: "You have commented on all schools, but you have not talked about Taoism, I don't know why?" ”

"Dare I ask who you are?"

"The equality recognized by the people is happy, people want a society without the burden of servitude and rent, the princes oppress the people, do not give the people the equality they want, if there is no ruler, maybe the people can get real happiness...", as soon as this person opened his mouth, Zhao Kuo knew what school he was, of course, there are many factions in Taoism, this is obviously a branch of Lao Zhuang's doctrine, known as the heretical "no king and no father" "beast".

Zhao Kuo listened carefully to his talk about the equal relationship between people, about the development of equality on the basis of cognition, Gongsun Long looked at him thoughtfully, Gongsun Long also talked about equality, but the equality he talked about was far less thorough than this, this is the pursuit of a society without rulers... The more Zhao Kuo listened, the more surprised he became, this is to bring down the exploiting class?? Just as the Mohists are not only craftsmen, and the Taoists are not all escapists, they also have their own pursuits and opinions.

Zhao Kuo said with some surprise: "I think what you said is very right, but it is very difficult to achieve this, you ignore one of the most important questions, you want to achieve equality, is there no monarch is equality?" If you want the people to make their own decisions, then at least you need to let the people have knowledge and promote universal education..."

"You can't ignore the social productive forces... But what you say will come true in a long, long time..."

Zhao Kuo told it seriously, which made this Taoist scholar very surprised, because he was used to abuse, his doctrine was very unpopular, even more unpopular than famous scholars, Confucians met them, it must be a fight, that is, those Confucians who came from Yan Kingdom together, after knowing his identity, they did not talk to them, thinking that people and livestock could not talk.

He didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would actually recognize his concept, and even seriously analyze the possibilities for him.

This Taoist scholar seemed to understand the reason why Ma Fujun was so respected, so he chatted with Zhao Kuo on the two issues of equality for all and no monarch for the people, Zhao Kuo just felt that the doctrine of this era was too advanced... It's so far ahead of its time that it's no wonder that these doctrines died out in later generations, and they couldn't even find complete books, and they were burned... Zhao Kuo felt that if he was a feudal monarch, he would definitely kill these people and destroy these terrible doctrines.

Before the Taoist finished speaking, the Confucian on the side couldn't sit still, and sat directly beside him, looking at Zhao Kuo, ignoring the Taoist scholar.

"I have heard that the words of men and the words of beasts are not the same, and why can't I understand a word of what you have just talked to him?"

"Then you have to learn the language of man, and if you only master the language of beasts, how can you understand human speech?" , Zhao Kuo smiled and asked rhetorically, the Confucian sneered, and said: "There is no monarch in the world, it will definitely cause greater harm, this is not a doctrine, it is not even the doctrine of Lao Zhuang, the Lao Zhuang I know, is to go with the flow, is inaction, but not without a king and no father." ”

"He is a man who does not oppress the people, and the people can elect the right people themselves, and of course, you are right, in the present day, this will only lead to disaster... Doctrines that transcend an epoch itself have great significance for the future, but not for the present. ”

The Confucian scholar did not dwell on this point any longer, and he said: "I have heard that you put forward the doctrine of one king of the world, saying that this doctrine can save the people of the world, then I would like to ask you, is it possible to forcibly drive different countries and different people together, so that they can put aside their hatred for each other and live in harmony?" Take your favorite Qin State as an example, in order to annex other countries, Qin killed a lot of people, these people, will they recognize Qin State, will they let go of hatred? ”

"After the king of the world, the Qin State will be busy quelling the rebellions in various places, because what you said is not a way to stop the war at all, if you really want to stop the war, you need to let Zhou Tianzi re-establish his prestige, let all countries gather around the Son of Heaven, whoever dares to crusade against other countries, Zhou Tianzi can send troops to punish him...", the Confucian also told about his own way to save the world.

"According to what you said, suddenly there is a virtuous Zhou Tianzi, he made the Zhou royal family strong, and suppressed the kingdoms, and the kingdoms accepted the orders of the Son of Heaven again, then I ask you, after the death of the Zhou Tianzi, when the Zhou royal family declines, will the princes fight for hegemony again and annex again, is this the way to end the war? Not to mention whether the weak Zhou royal family can reach this point. ”

"And the way I said, all the officials are appointed by the king, after the king of the world, give the people a chance to recuperate, you said that the countries will not let go of hatred, Nanyang, Nanjun of the Qin State, many of his places, were originally the land of various countries, which were later occupied by the Qin State, but the people who live here now, are they Qin people? Is there still hatred? Zhao conquered Zhongshan, will the people of Zhongshan think about recovering the country? ”

Zhao Kuo seriously discussed with the Confucians, and Han Fei also accelerated the speed of recording.

The scholars around them listened to their words, nodding their heads, shaking their heads, talking, or thinking.

The spark of a different thought once again burned on the land.

ps: Wow, I suspect that I drank fake wine, all kinds of nausea..
