"Why?"

As soon as Chen Xu said this, not only Qin Shihuang was stunned, but even Li Si almost poured the hot tea into his nose, and then the three of them looked at Chen Xu together.

"I Daqin swept away the princes, the Shang Zhou, the next future, is in a new era of succession, the car with the track, the book with the text, the waste well field, the county, if you conquer Lingnan and the northwest Hun Hu, will include the four seas and eight wilderness, then throughout the ages I have never had such a vast territory in China, so I can not completely copy the Zhou system, I need to find a way to make my Great Qin prosperous and continue to pass on the different roads for generations, the Mohist concept is too stubborn, the princes are unacceptable, my Great Qin can not be applied, Huang Lao's law is too scattered, inaction and rule will greatly weaken the control of the court, in the case of today's just set the remnants of the six countries are still ready to move, it must not be applied, as for Confucianism, and too much respect for the ancient rites to emphasize respect and humility, is not conducive to seeking merit, from the rise of my Great Qin in the past century, just benevolence, virtue and propriety can not make the country stable, so I think that the way to govern the country should be both law and etiquette, Confucianism and Taoism. The sages have summed up so many ideas of governing the country, is it possible that we have passed on to my Great Qin, and we can't find a good policy for governing the country that can be passed on to my Great Qin for thousands of generations, doesn't it mean that our descendants are not virtuous and unfilial, and now Li Xiang is still burning the theory of the sages, trying to respect the law alone, and vainly trying to use the reason of one family to destroy the principle of a hundred schools, just like being in a delicious orchard, but only taking one kind of food, isn't it pedantic? ”

"The reason why Xu said that he admired Xun Guo's concept of governing the country is because Xun Guo inherited Confucianism, and carried forward the magic ideas of Taigongwang, integrating the theories of Lao Tzu, Confucius, Guan Zhong, Li Kui (kui) and many other famous sages, and put forward the strategy of governing the country by law and etiquette. And now Li Xiang, you have done it, but Li Xiang, who is in a high position, has forgotten the words of your master Xun......"

Chen Xu looked at Li Si after speaking.

In the past half a month, he has to run a newspaper, so Chen Xu has been in the newspaper every day, and the various books collected by the newspaper have piled up, and the quotations of hundreds of schools and the classics of the sages can be said to be all-encompassing, so Chen Xu has also made up for half a month of sage knowledge, plus there are a large number of famous people of the Fang family such as Chen Pingqiu and Fu An, each of whom is also full of poetry and classics. Finally, I have learned a little bit of the ancestral culture that has been passed down for 2,000 years in later generations.

I don't dare to say too profound theories, but at least I still read a lot of books by some celebrities that have been circulated in later generations, otherwise I wouldn't be able to say so many things today.

As the saying goes, the locals do as they go.

Since Chen Xu has come to this two-thousand-year-old era, he has memorized a lot of things on weekdays, and with the memory of cramming for half a month, he finally didn't drop the chain.

Li Si's cheeks shook lightly a few times and said, "Please also ask Qinghehou to say a word, which sentence of the master has Si forgotten?" ”

"Green, out of blue, and better than blue!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

Li Si was silent for a long time, staring blankly at the hot air coming out of the teacup in his hand, and then sighed gloomily and whispered: "Yes, the master wrote the exhortation chapter at the beginning, using things as metaphors, teaching me and other disciples to be the sages of etiquette, learn to think, respect virtue and etiquette, and adapt to changes, so as to make yourself more outstanding...... green, out of blue, and better than blue, ice, water for it, and cold in water, wood straight in the rope, you think it is a wheel, and its song is in the rules." Although there is violence, those who do not stand up will be allowed to do so. Therefore, the wood is straight, the gold is sharpened, and the gentleman is erudite and the day is provincial, and he knows and does nothing......"

This exhortation Li Si must have memorized it back then, but since he left the teacher, he should have never taken it to heart, just like the middle school students of later generations, he learned countless knowledge when he was young, but he left it behind after joining the work, year after year, day after day, there was no original intention when he was studying, at this time Chen Xu mentioned that he slowly fell into the memories of the past, and began to recite the teacher's famous persuasion in a low voice word by word.

The room was very silent, Chen Xu's face was flat, Qin Shi Huang was silent, Feng Qu was not sad or happy, he could only hear Li Si's voice echoing in the room.

The persuasion was sprinkled with two thousand words, and Li Si memorized all of them word for word, and after memorizing them, Li Si's decadent face showed a relaxed look, and when he saw that the three people in the room were looking at him, he came to his senses, and quickly stood up and tidied up his clothes and saluted Qin Shi Huang: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the minister is rude!" ”

"It's okay!" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand, and said with a slight smile on his face: "I have never read this persuasion, but listening to Li Xiang's recitation, I also feel that I have benefited a lot, Xun is really worthy of being a great sage, more transparent and clear than the principles of Confucianism and Taoism, enough to be on a par with Confucius and Lao, and it is not an exaggeration to respect Xunzi at all!" ”

Qin Shi Huang's evaluation was very high, not only Li Si was excited, but even Feng Quji, who had a calm face, was a little moved.

"Xun situation, the integration of Confucianism, Taoism, law, the name of the family in one, learn from each other's strengths, to rough and refined, the original theory of governing the country, in fact, is the most in line with the times of the governing strategy, I can have today's weather, Li Xianggong is indispensable, but Li Xiangjin's policy of burning books, is really to destroy the foundation of my China, blue out of the blue and better than the blue, my generation must integrate hundreds of schools, learn from the ancient and modern, and carry forward the theory of Xun situation even more, in order to create a brilliant foundation of my Great Qin, I can survive for thousands of years, These are not the words of one family...... Does Li Xiang think the food at my Qinghe restaurant is delicious? ”

Chen Xu said and suddenly made a big turn, Qin Shihuang and Li Sifeng were listening carefully, but suddenly they almost overturned, and their faces shook slightly, Li Si was even more stunned for a long time before nodding and saying: "The food of Qinghe Hotel is a peerless delicacy, Si has eaten it twice, and the aftertaste is still unforgettable!" ”

"The reason why the dishes of Qinghe Hotel are delicious is nothing more than good ingredients, good condiments, good cooks, and good cooking methods, but these ingredients have existed since ancient times, not my originality, but I took care to cook them carefully, so that there are a table full of delicious dishes, the theory of the hundred schools of thought is like the ingredients, the disciples of the hundred schools are like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the two prime ministers are the cooks, the dishes made by these ingredients are not delicious in the end, all under the control of the two, we can't just put salt in cooking, right? It is necessary to reconcile the five flavors according to the different ingredients, in order to finally make a sumptuous feast, governing the country as it is, the sages once said: governing a big country, such as cooking a small fresh. What did Lee Sang-woo say? ”

Li Si was silent.

Li Si is now over sixty years old, older than Wang Qian, but because of better maintenance, he also pays great attention to grooming on weekdays, so he looks about the same as a middle-aged man in his fifties.

But people will inevitably slowly become faint when they are old, so in Chen Xu's view, Li Si is now because of his high position and too much age, many things have begun to be confused, and it is no longer suitable to continue to stay in the position of the left minister, but Daqin is now flourishing in the middle of the day, and he must not rely on this old horse to move forward, as the saying goes, the old horse knows the way, but this old horse is obviously old and confused, and blind, if he continues to pull Daqin's car to continue running, maybe one day he will be taken to the ditch.

"My Daqin is like a carriage now, Your Majesty is the driver of the car, if you want this car to run smoothly, you must take virtue as the axis, etiquette as the wheel, benevolence and righteousness as the wheel, Huang Lao's art as the rein, the law as the reins, with the disciples of a hundred schools as the horse, with the people as the way, and the power of the world, I Daqin can move forward bravely, if the hundred schools are wasted, it is a waste of cars and horses, and the car can't run with the reins in hand, if Li Xiangru doesn't wake up, my Daqin will be destroyed in your hands, and you Li Si ...... and will become the sinners of the ages referred to by all the people......"

Chen Xu didn't give Li Si any face, called him by his name in front of the emperor and reprimanded him loudly.

For Lees, the history of later generations has been mixed.

In the early stage, he assisted Qin Shi Huang to rule the world, and the text of the same train track in the county was indeed very great, but from the beginning of the book burning, Li Si began to take the carriage of Daqin crookedly.

Later generations said that it was because of the limitations of that era, but Chen Xu did not agree with this statement at all, because Chinese civilization has basically not made much progress since the Qin Dynasty, and it has always been eating the old books left by the sons of hundreds of schools during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Although Chen Xu's official position is not high now, he is not afraid of Li Si using power to suppress him, not to mention that today Chen Xu entered the palace and used Taiyi God Thunder to blatantly scare him, the identity of the immortal disciple is enough to make Li Si frightened and afraid, not to mention that Chen Xu is still a very respected and even respected person by Qin Shi Huang at the moment.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, listening to his scolding, Li Si's face turned pale.

"Even if what Qinghe Hou said is reasonable, but the so-called easy to know is difficult to do, the disciples of a hundred schools are noisy every day, how can you resolve it, if you can't, it will inevitably be chaotic in the long run, and it will be too late to regret it at that time!" After being silent for a long time, Li Si said in a hoarse and low voice.

"Yes, if Qinghe Marquis has no good way, he also thinks that book burning is not as serious as you said, but now Your Majesty has personally appeased all beings that you will not burn books, you must untie this knot, otherwise Your Majesty will lose your prestige!" Feng Quji, who had been watching and was silent, spoke.

"Heaven is constant, not to survive, not to die. If it should be treated, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious. Chen Xu stood up and arched his hand at Li Si, "Li Xiang, you should have heard of this sentence, right?" ”

"This is what my master said!" Li Si nodded with an ugly face.

Qin Shi Huang and Feng Quji glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock on each other's faces.

Both of them don't know why Chen Xu is so clear about Li Si's teacher Xun Qian's words, you must know that Xun Kuang has only been dead for about 20 years, and the reason why he is famous is because he taught two famous figures, one is Han Fei and the other is Li Si, but to say that Xun Qian's theory is not famous in the current Great Qin, and many remarks are not widely circulated, and then the theory of the hundred schools of thought is extremely prosperous at the moment, and there is not much more than him, and no less than him, Even An Yuliang, the dean of Weihe Academy, who is very famous among the famous scholars of the Fang family, does not teach Xunzi's theories much on weekdays, but focuses more on pure literary knowledge such as poetry and books, so some of the things Chen Xu said just now Feng Quji and the emperor did not know.

But what they didn't know was that Chen Xu also had an apprentice of Xun Guo by his side, that is, Zhang Cang, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences.

And in order to buy the Daqin Metropolis Daily, Chen Xu naturally wanted to find Xunzi, who was highly respected by later scholars, not to mention that Xun was still Li Si's teacher, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, to deal with Li Si in the court, it is most effective to use the knowledge that Li Si has learned to deal with Li Si, so Chen Xu specially asked Zhang Cang to collect and sort out some of Xunzi's writings and remarks, but Zhang Cang didn't seem to be very interested in Xunzi's set of theories, so he simply ran to Weihe Academy outside the city, Find senior brother An Yuliang to ask for a set of manuscripts and throw them to Chen Xu, and this set of manuscripts was written by Feng Zi'an, the vice president of Nanyang College.
