Xiang Xian's inquiry attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at Ma Fujun, they couldn't understand how the Qin people could promote Ma Fujun's ideas so vigorously in Chu, and they didn't know why the Qin people suddenly changed their strategy for the occupied areas. Maybe it was because he thought of something, Zhao Kuo's doormen stopped drinking, quietly gathered around Zhao Kuo, and looked at the people around him vigilantly, Zhao Fu and Xing sat on the left and right of Zhao Kuo, obviously, as long as someone wanted to be bad for Zhao Kuo, they were going to kill.

And Di smiled, he sat next to Xiang Xian, he was very close, his face was full of smiles, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Xiang Xian.

Zhao Kuo was still thinking about Xiang Xian's words, were the Qin people really implementing their own thoughts? This made him a little surprised, he knew that he had the Qin people's spies around him, the Qin people did better than any country in this regard, they had the most excellent household registration system, and the people in the country were firmly chained, first of all, they had household registration officials, similar to the household registration book of later generations, recording the head of the household, as well as his wife, sons, retainers and other information.

In addition, every person in the Qin State has their own identity information, which records in detail the name, age, height, residence, occupation and other information, and it is very difficult to send spies into the Qin State, and the pavilion chief of the Qin State is also responsible for checking the spies, so to speak, in terms of spy warfare, the Qin State is like an expert. However, in other vassal states, it is difficult to calculate the specific number of people in a county, and it is easy to get in...

Zhao Kuo didn't care about the Qin people around him, and even among his disciples, there were Qin people... Zhao Kuo glanced at Yang Duanhe beside him, and sure enough, Yang Duanhe was now extremely excited, hearing that Xiang Xian suspected Zhao Kuo of joining Qin, he almost wanted to laugh out loud, how could a virtuous person like a teacher not go to Qin State? Zhao Kuo's connection with the Qin State is only a correspondence with the King of Qin, but what is the situation with this horse service book?

Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't answer Xiang Xian's question for a long time, the atmosphere gradually became weird, King Han wiped the sweat on his forehead, Ma Fujun surrendered to Qin, this is definitely a result that makes him unacceptable, it is enough to make him frightened, these days, he who has received Ma Fujun's education, obviously regards Ma Fujun as the successor of the doctrine of Shen Buxian, and regards him as a great sage like today, if such a great sage defects to the Qin State, then does Korea still have a way to live?

Zhao Kuo still looked at Xiang Xian, and he said, "I didn't serve the Qin State. When everyone heard Zhao Kuo's words, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and the guests laughed again, except for Zhao Fu and Xing, the rest of the people also pulled away and no longer gathered around Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo looked at Xiang Xian in front of him and said: "The truth I am talking about is the way to save the world, to put the people first, to implement the system of benevolence and righteousness, and not to kill the people of other countries." ”

"The country that obeys my doctrine will definitely become strong because of this, and the country that violates my doctrine, no matter how strong it is, will definitely perish in a short time, and the system of benevolence and righteousness I am talking about is to reduce the taxes of the people, and will not frequently make them suffer from forced labor, because the people are an important part of the country, and the interests of the people have become the etiquette of the state, and I am not talking about the sacrifice that Confucius wants to talk about, nor is it the self-interest of Yang Zi."

"The king does not want to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of the country, nor does he want the king to value only his own interests, but the king's dependence is on his country, and when the country is strong, the king's orders can be transmitted to all places, and when the country is weak, the king can only reduce his title, and dare not become strong, when the country is destroyed, what is the difference between the king and the farmer? It's just a wretched person whose country has been destroyed. ”

"Therefore, it is not a sacrifice or self-interest, it is the interests of the people, the interests of the state, and the recognition that the state is made up of the people..."

"When Zhou Tianzi was strong, wars rarely broke out frequently in the world, because there was only one emperor in the world, and all the countries obeyed his orders. Today's war has lasted too long, and too many people have died, and if you want to end the war, there is no other way, only war, I don't think that everyone can end the war by loving each other, and I don't think that restoring the ancient etiquette can end the war. This endless civil war can only end when the war continues and there is only one king in the world. ”

"The war I know, the war of the same nation, will not have an aggressor, this is a war of unification. Only another civilization wants to annex another region, this is the war between the invaders and the anti-invaders, but the reason why I regard the Qin State as an invader is because the intention of the Qin State is not to unify, and he does not regard the people of other countries as his own people, he treats other people as conquered and tramples on them at will. ”

This is the first time that Zhao Kuo said his idea of great unification in front of everyone, before, even in the face of his disciples, he only euphemistically said the idea of the unity of the seven countries, that is, he hoped that his doctrine could play a little role, and could reduce some of the bloodshed and sacrifices in the unification war, the reason why he did not say the idea of great unification was mainly because he was worried that his disciples would return to their own country, and began to shout for great unification, making the war more intense.

But now, he is no longer worried, when the Qin State spread the horse service book, he has completely exposed his intentions, we old Qin people don't play the game of hegemony and merger with the second and third sons, we just want to reunify!

Zhao Kuo is no longer hidden, rather than letting Qin Guo promote the idea of great unification that may be misunderstood by him, it is better to let himself tell it to everyone in a dignified manner, Zhao Kuo continued to talk about his doctrine, the disciples are not very understandable, and the disciples who can understand his doctrine are all stunned at the moment, they have been listening to Han Fei implicitly saying that the teacher wants to save the world.

Today's Xianxue belongs to the three parts of the world, Confucianism, Moism, and Taoism... In other words, it is the Yang Zhu school of Taoism. Mencius once reluctantly said that today's learning, the Yang Zhu school and the Mo family are equally divided, and Mencius is very disgusted with these two doctrines, saying that they are beasts without kings and fathers. Later, Confucianism also gradually rose, and now, the Yang Zhu school is gradually failing, Confucianism and Mohism are still relatively strong, and Zhao Kuo knows that after a period of time, Mohism and Confucianism will also decline, and Legalism will begin to become stronger.

Today's Legalists are not strong, mainly because... A certain stuttering Legalist boss has not yet come out of the mountain.

And the three illustrious families have a set of ways to save the world. The Confucian method was to restore the ancient etiquette system and make the heroes obey Zhou Tianzi, of course, this is impossible now, so Mencius's people-oriented thought appeared, so that the king should put his mind on the people and not always think about attacking other countries.

And the Mo family's way to save the world, both love and non-attack, is that everyone should stop fighting, isn't it good to treat each other as brothers and sisters?

At first glance, the love of the Mohists is very similar to the benevolence of Confucianism, but in fact, when the disciples of these two families meet, it must be a life-and-death battle. The love of the Mohists is the unconditional love of all people, and the benevolence of Confucianism is based on the gradual improvement of love for relatives, then for the villagers, and then for the countrymen. To illustrate the simplest question, I fell into it at the same time as your mother... Ahem, no, it's a stranger who fell into the river at the same time as your mother, who would you save?

Confucianism must have thought about saving his mother. I love my parents the most, then I love my brothers, and finally I can love others. But the Mo family must have been thinking about it for a long time, because the love of the Mo family is an extreme love, it is to love everyone, strangers and mothers are equally important. Therefore, Mencius scolded the Mo family, saying that they were beasts without parents, and they didn't even love their parents, and they still wanted to love the people of the world.

Now Zhao Kuo's proposal of the integration of the seven countries, which seems to be similar to the Mo family, but completely different, Zhao Kuo's theoretical starting point is that the seven countries are brothers and sisters, and the old people in other countries are also the parents of others.

Of course, the Yang-Zhu school also has a way to save the world, that is... Don't love the world, only yourself. The essence of this school of thought is to treat everyone else as if they were strangers and take care of yourself. In this way, there will naturally be no war, and if everyone does not lose a single bit, there will be no Yaoshun, and if everyone is not good for the world, there will be no trouble.

And now, Zhao Kuo has put forward a new idea of great unification, which Confucianism has also had, but the great unification of Confucianism is to restore the ancient ruling system, respect the king, respect the princes and Zhou Tianzi, stop the war, and deal with the enemy outside. Zhao Kuo's unification was more radical, and there was only one king in the world, and there was no other king to guard his land under the leadership of this king.

This... It can be said that Zhao Kuo said his theory in advance in front of the person who put forward this idea, however, his doctrine is also different from Han Fei's doctrine, Han Fei's great unification still has not changed the relationship between the unified country and the unified people, maybe he has died in prison before he has time to put it forward.

Hearing that the teacher really has a way to save the world, the joy of the disciples is indescribable, whether they agree with the teacher's thinking or not, no matter what kind of impact this thinking will have on their country, however, this is also an extra way to save the world, war, not everyone loves, except for the Qin country, which is based on war, most of these noble teenagers still hate war.

Many of their relatives died in the war, and those who were not from a high background have a deeper understanding of war, which is the greatest disaster for mankind, and the harm to people goes beyond disasters such as droughts, floods, locusts, etc.

And more people have noticed that the method that the teacher said... Seems to work? The Confucian respect for the king is obviously impossible to achieve, and the love of the Mohists ... Yang Zhu's self-interest... These are all pursuits, although there are many people who are implementing these paths, but the end seems to be too far and too far, and the great unification that Zhao Kuo said, although it is also a little unrealistic, but it seems to be feasible, compared to making the monarchs submit to Zhou Tianzi, than letting the monarchs love each other... Well.. It is still easiest to let one country destroy the others.

In today's world, for the great unification, the deepest touch may be Xunzi. As the first sage of the Confucian school who went to the Qin State and recognized the Qin system very much, Xunzi's heart may also vaguely turn the Confucian king into the king he understands... Therefore, he taught two scholars who wanted to dominate the world, and these two scholars hated Confucianism very much and never stopped abusing Confucianism, but in fact they respected Xunzi very much.

Unlike the joy of his disciples, Xiang Xian's face became extremely pale, he had always regarded Zhao Kuo as the successor of the Mohist school, and he loved non-attack, so when Qin attacked Korea, he would immediately bring people to the rescue, but now he found that he was wrong, Zhao Kuo was not the Mo family, and even, he and the Mo family were completely opposed, he did not want to stop the war, but to end the war through war.

Zhao Kuo also said why he repeatedly stopped Qin's intentions, that is because Qin did not regard the people of other countries as its own and wanted to persecute them, that is... The Qin State did not slaughter the people of the Chu State this time, so Zhao Kuo would not help the Chu State again?

Xiang Xian wanted to say something, but he found that he probably couldn't convince this sage who had just proposed a way to save the world, like this kind of people, incomparably stubborn, incomparably stubborn, the sages of the Mo family could endure poverty and drive on their own roads with their heads down, and the sages of Confucianism lamented the collapse of etiquette and happiness, and wandered from country to country to tell the monarchs the truth of benevolence, even if their doctrines were rarely accepted...

Xiang Xian smiled bitterly and asked, "According to what you said, can I be regarded as a sage who saves the world if I tie myself up and crawl in front of King Qin like a dog?" ”

Zhao Kuo looked at Xiang Xian, he shook his head, and said, "I don't mean to help the Qin State to destroy other countries, and I don't want to persuade you to surrender to the Qin State... All I hope is to stop the current war, if one day, you are captured by the Qin people, they did not kill you, one day, you invade Nanyang, capture the people of Qin, you do not kill them, this is what I want. ”

"If I were a true sage, I might be able to leave everything behind and go to the most powerful Qin state, assist the king of Qin, who is most likely to end the war, and help him rule the world, but I can't abandon my friends, I can't give up my family, and I can't betray those who trust me... I am a mean person, a selfish person. Everyone in the world tells me about my deeds of benevolence and righteousness, and only I know that my benevolence and righteousness are only small benevolence and small righteousness..."

"I can't give up everything, so I won't teach others to let go of everything."

This is the first time Zhao Kuo has looked directly into his heart, and all he sees is a tangled, painful young man, screaming in pain among the people and relatives of the world. Zhao Kuo suddenly burst into tears, he looked at Xiang Xian, and said seriously: "I really want to save everyone." ”

Han Fei looked at the weeping teacher in front of him, he looked at the upper King Han, his eyes flashed with pain, Han Fei is the same, he knows how to save the world, but the price of saving the world seems to be the destruction of his own country, it is impossible for South Korea to achieve great unification, the most likely to achieve it, only the Qin State, he can only sacrifice South Korea in exchange for the peace of the whole world, but what he chased at the beginning was not to save South Korea?

The banquet broke up unhappily, Xiang Xian left Korea with his army, he was going to save his country, Zhao Kuo couldn't blame him for his actions, this was what he should do. Han Fei walked on the streets of Xinzheng in a daze, and he did not follow the teacher back to their courtyard. Han Fei looked at his country seriously, in Xinzheng, there was no joy to repel the Qin people, the people hurriedly walked towards all places, they were still timid, even if Bai Qi left, their disaster did not disappear.

South Korean officials said that this time, the national treasury has spent a large amount of grain to rescue the people in various places, and this year, it is likely to raise taxes to enrich the national treasury.

In the cold weather, the Koreans who have lost their farmland are kneeling on the streets uneasily, and some soldiers come to expel them. If Ma Fujun and others see it, what face does King Han have?

South Korea exists... Will Koreans have a good life?

Han Fei suddenly stopped.

ps: Yesterday there were a few smears on the Internet. May the army's pen, say the will. I actually don't hate ignorant people, but I hate ignorant people who want to show off, North and South Korea are a nation, their war is a war of reunification, North Korea is not an aggressor, the United States at that time believed that North Korea was invading, the international community did not agree, and the United States was helpless, so it had to admit that there was no aggression and sent troops in the name of pacifying local peace. How did the Wishing Army turn into helping the aggressor?? This is really incredible, but I will insult me with the national issue... it.

I couldn't sleep yesterday, but I got up today and wrote this chapter.
