Wei Ying's hand holding the wine glass was slightly stunned, and then it seemed that he remembered something, his originally calm face showed a solemn look, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Qin Guogong: "It's just some things about changing the law, and I have encountered some resistance. ”

"Oh? Since it involves the matter of changing the law, it is all up to you to deal with. Qin Guogong said slowly, and then the conversation changed, and he seemed to say something pointedly: "I still hope that Da Liang Zao can pay attention to the means, the child is still young and easy to be bewitched, and besides, the future is long, and he still needs a lot of support from Da Liang Zao"

When Wei Ying heard this, he immediately understood what Qin Guogong meant, on the one hand, he was to intercede for the prince, and he had to be forgiving and forgiving. On the other hand, it was vaguely pointed out that Wei Ying and the prince would work together for a long time in the future, and some relationships still needed to be eased.

The current Duke of Qin is not only the monarch of Qin, but also the father of the crown prince. Thinking of this, Wei Ying put down the wine glass in his hand and agreed with a fist.

Seeing that Wei Ying understood the meaning of his words, Qin Guogong suddenly showed a smile on his face. Then the two of them staggered, and soon wiped out the Qin wine on the table.

On the other side, after Qin Chuan and the old man Kong Qiu left Liyang City, they went all the way north and rushed towards Anyi, the capital of Wei State, because there was a grand event next month, which had already been decided, and naturally they would not change the itinerary.

So Qin Chuan and the old man Kong Qiu slept all the way, along the land west of the river, through the Hangu Pass, and officially set foot on the land of Wei.

After entering the Guannei, Qin Chuan had a deep understanding of the barrenness of the Qin State. In his impression, the border of Qin has been plagued by wars for many years, and the people are not able to make a living, and it is normal for the Qin people there to be poor. For example, Liyang City and Xianyang City, which are far away from the war, are still relatively prosperous, but after entering the cities of Qin, the prosperity of those border towns is already the same as that of the big cities of Liyang City of Qin.

"Does that feel like a novelty?" The old man Kong Qiu looked at Qin Chuan's curious appearance with a smile and said jokingly.

Qin Chuan nodded, and then said with some longing: "I just don't know when the Qin State will be able to compare to the prosperity of the Wei State?" ”

Old Man Kong Qiu smiled and did not answer Qin Chuan's question. For this old man who has been a lifelong scholar, Qin is just a small border country, even if the people are still martial, but after all, it is only the courage of a barbarian, relying on this may be able to dominate for a while, but it cannot be a king.

"Master, if it is possible in the future, I will make the Qin State the greatest country in the world, sweep the princes and the six countries, and dominate the world." Qin Chuan looked at the endless crowd in front of him and said with some spirit.

The old man Kongqiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Chuan's determined look, and there was also a hint of a smile on his face.

"Oh? I wonder how you can dominate the world? Relying on the advantages of soldiers, the courage of soldiers? By the strictness of the law? Or do you rely on the Grand Duke of the World? Or is it inaction? ”

"That is, relying on the strictness of the law, but also on the benefits of the soldiers, and the courage of the soldiers." Qin Chuan said without thinking.

Qin Chuan's answer seemed to surprise the old man Kongqiu, so he looked at Qin Chuan curiously, with an inquiring look on his face.

Qin Chuan felt the gaze of the old man Kongqiu, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he seemed to have found an opportunity to say what he thought in his heart.

"The strictness of the law can restrain the behavior of all people, so that all people's behavior can be relaxed, and the good can punish the evil. At the same time, the advantage of the soldiers, the courage of the soldiers can open up the territory and annex the princes. ”

The old man Kongqiu's face became solemn, no one had ever been able to say such a thing before, because it involved the core of the Legalist and the soldier, although one inside and one outside, but in the end, it was still necessary to distinguish between a primary and a secondary. After all, the current vassal states have never chosen two schools of thought to govern the country in terms of the concept of governance.

"What about Confucianism? Should we be relegated to the rest of the school? The old man Kong Qiu said with a somewhat unkind face.

Qin Chuan already had an answer to this question, or the history of later generations had proved the status of Confucianism, so when the old man Confucius said this, he replied without hesitation: "Confucianism may be a little hungry for dominating the world, but it can teach and educate people, and govern the whole country in the future." ”

For Qin Chuan's words, the old man Kong Qiu also thought for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Qin Chuan said seemed to make some sense, and the expression on his face gradually eased.

"There are thousands of scholars in the world, but they are not as clear as you alone." Old man Kong Qiu sighed.

"Master, is there anything wrong with what the apprentice said?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.

The old man Kong Qiu shook his head, looked up into the distance, his eyes gradually became deeper, and he whispered: "I have tens of millions of Confucian sects, and I boast that I have learned the way of the king, and I take it as my responsibility to cultivate myself and govern the country and level the world, and I continue to work hard for the common ideal, but who knows that I have done that useless work." After all, the division of princes, the benefits of soldiers, and the breadth of territory are the things that the monarchs of various countries value most. ”

Qin Chuan silently listened to the old man's emotion, his face was full of surprise, his casual words could make the old man sigh like this.

"Confucianism won't retreat to the mountains and forests because of my words, then I will become a sinner in history." Qin Chuan thought silently, his heart full of worry.

After being silent for a long time, the old man Kong Qiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had figured out something, a bright look flashed in his eyes, and he said happily: "Haha, even if my Confucian disciples are useless now? What if you can't dominate the world? The academy was set up, and the great Confucianism or virtuous people sat in it, and educated the people to be enlightened, know etiquette, and do benevolence. ”

Qin Chuan looked at the master beside him in a daze, and when he heard the deafening words, he seemed to feel an indescribable momentum emanating from the old man's body in a trance.

"Master is really kind and benevolent." Qin Chuan couldn't help but say.

Listening to Qin Chuan's words, the old man Kong Qiu's face turned red and he laughed happily.

When he came to a wood, the old man stopped and stared at the dense jungle in front of him, a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong, master? What's going on? Qin Chuan asked with some curiosity.

The old man Kong Qiu raised his finger and pointed to the jungle in front of him, and said to Qin Chuan, "Do you know what is the difference between the woods here and before?" ”

Qin Chuan shook his head without hesitation, joking, this was the first time he had passed through here, where would he understand the difference from before.

Looking at Qin Chuan's puzzled gaze, the old man Kong Qiu said with a smile: "I passed by here at this time last year, and it was still a small sapling, but now it has become a dense forest. ”

Qin Chuan is still unknown, so, isn't it normal for a sapling to grow into a forest? Is there something strange here?

Old Man Kong Qiu didn't wait for Qin Chuan to ask questions, and then explained: "In the past, it would take at least five or six years for a small sapling to grow into such a forest, but now, in the past year, it has grown into what it is now. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan suddenly realized, and only then did he understand where the problem was. However, as the old man Kong Qiu said, it only took a year for a small sapling to grow into a shape that could only be grown in five or six years.

"The world is no longer the same." Old Man Kong Qiu said a little mysteriously.

"Master, what's the difference?"

Qin Chuan asked suspiciously, his heartbeat had unconsciously begun to speed up.

The old man Kong Qiu did not rush to answer Qin Chuan's doubts, pulled Qin Chuan to find an open space to sit down, and then asked Qin Chuan meaningfully: "I was able to restrain a few masked people with an old man that day, don't you have any doubts?" ”

For this matter, Qin Chuan's heart was already full of doubts, but he didn't know how to ask. After listening to the words of the old man Kongqiu, he nodded.

"The apprentice does have some doubts in his heart, and he asks the master to solve his doubts."

The old man Kong Qiu smiled, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly said a trace of secret. And through the narration of the old man Kongqiu, Qin Chuan also understood some secrets that he didn't know.

It turns out that this world is like a huge cage, and all people live in this cage. It is difficult for ordinary people to break through the shackles of this cage of heaven and earth, and they can only be reborn into a human being in this cage, and then be born, old, sick and die. Everyone follows the rules of this cage, which is the way of heaven.

And in this cage of heaven and earth there are some people who guard the cage, they are called caretakers. Every once in a while, they would open the door of this cage and let some people of great power or virtue get out of this cage. And the time when the cage is opened is not fixed, sometimes it is three to five hundred years, sometimes it is thousands of years, sometimes it is thousands of years.

Since ancient times, there have been several people with great merits who have walked out of the world cage and gone to another world, such as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in myths and legends, Nuwa Fuxi, Chiyou Gonggong and so on. They are not made up, they are real.

And the only way to get out of this world is to preach, and if you succeed in preaching, you will not only get out of this world, but you will also have great benefits. It is for this reason that almost every time the path of enlightenment is initiated, all those who have merit flock to it.

As for the preaching, not everyone can participate, and only after a certain level of merit or cultivation can the path be initiated.

"The Twelve Qualities of Preaching?" Qin Chuan muttered to himself.

Old Man Kong Qiu also nodded when he heard Qin Chuan's words, he was not surprised that Qin Chuan knew this, after all, he also had a lawyer of the Legalist family, and he should have told him this.

"The literati preach the Tao with merit, while the samurai preach with cultivation, these are the two paths of preaching, but if one path can meet the requirements, it can open the path of preaching." The old man Kongqiu held his beard and said with a smile.

"Master, what is the path of enlightenment?" Qin Chuan asked a little puzzled.

"Haha, these are still too far away for you, and when you reach the point of the ninth grade, you will naturally know these things."

Qin Chuan pondered the words of the old man Kong Qiu carefully, his eyes lit up randomly, and then he said in a somewhat hurried voice: "Master means that the path of enlightenment has been opened?" ”

"Yes, this world is very different from the world before." The old man Kong Qiu had a meaningful look on his face, and said slowly.
