"The prince said: He is in chaos every day, please sit back and watch." In Chengyin's mansion, Shen Yong whispered to Jinghua about the results of the previous discussion.

On the side of the case, Jing Hua is no longer as high-spirited as before, but languishing, and his eyes are full of bloodshots. In the past few days, he has been constantly reviewing the battle of Jiangyi, and the more he reviewed, the more he felt that the Qin army was extremely brave, and it was inevitable to break the formation.

"Why should I sit idly by?" Jing Hua's lifeless eyes suddenly flashed with some brilliance. "The state of Chu is like this today, and it is really because the law does not change. If you want to change the law, you must rely on the new king, and the eldest son is too young to take on his duties. ”

"The general agreed?!" Things changed unexpectedly, and Shen Yong looked at Jing Hua seriously to confirm the truth of what he said.

"Yes." Jing Hua dropped the chess pieces in his hand that were used as a formation. "However, the prince will fulfill his words and change the law in the Chu State."

Jing Hua didn't look at Shen Yong when he spoke, and when he didn't answer after speaking, he turned his head to look at him and asked, "Can't you?" ”

"Yes, yes." Shen Yong nodded again and again, his heart fluctuated, and he didn't know how to say anything about Yang Wenjun.

"Green is taken from blue, and green is blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water. The wooden straight middle rope, the light is thought to be the wheel, and its curve is in the rules. Although there is violence, those who do not stand up will be ...... to make it so."

In the middle court of the East Palace, another day's schoolwork begins. Xiong Jing learned it when he was in middle school, and there is a paragraph that still memorizes the key points, but it is just something that I didn't know before, just for the exam, but now I have a different taste when I read it:

What is said in persuasion is that 'a gentleman can not learn as a last resort', and the sage is also a saint who learns, the so-called 'if you don't learn, you can't succeed, Yao learns from Junchou, Shun learns from Wu Chengzhao, and Yu learns from the Western Kingdom' ("Outline"). However, even if he is a saint, he is only 'the way of heaven is constant, not for Yao's survival, not for ruin' ("The King's Chapter)", in this case, what is the benefit of learning?

Xunzi's article is gorgeous, but the logic of thought really does not dare to compliment. And the saying that human nature is inherently evil, 'human nature is evil, and its goodness and hypocrisy are also'. "False" means that people are born evil, and good is the result of the education of the saints;

It looks a lot like Christianity. That is, you are born with sins (sexual evil) and only God (saints) can forgive your sins. But unlike Christianity, if any sinner converts to God sincerely, the pastor will listen to his confession and lead him to goodness. The saints, on the other hand, are 'not good if they are not gentlemen, nor are they others; It is not taught by others, stealing grain, and borrowing thieves and soldiers ("Outline"). This means that those who are not devoted to a gentleman are not ideal students; To teach such students who are not ideal is to give food to thieves and weapons to robbers, so the saints teach some things and some do not teach.

In the middle court, Xiong Jing, who memorized the persuasion chapter, was reciting and discussing, he didn't like the truth in Xun Qian's article very much, and felt that he was wasting his time in vain, and outside the middle court, Qi Xuan was waiting uneasily.

"Good." Listening to the students memorize the persuasion word for word, Xun expressed some satisfaction. It's just that although this student is smart, he can't grasp what he's thinking behind his dark eyes. After nodding, Xun Guo asked: "I heard that Zijing killed rabbits and shocked horses, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Teacher Hui, there is such a thing." The day before yesterday, the matter of killing rabbits spread all over the palace, but I didn't expect Xun to know about it.

"It's not kind." Xiong Jing lowered his head, and when he looked from above, Xun Jing could only see the top of his head.

"Teacher Hui: It's really unkind." Xiong Jing looked very teachable and just wanted to get out of class early.

"Zijing is the eldest son, and he will be a king in the future, and he should have the heart of a benevolent person in case of trouble. The king, benevolence in the world, righteousness in the world, and authority in the world, Zijing knows? Xun said again.

'眇' is higher than the meaning, Confucianism pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, it is not surprising, but the mention of 'prestige is higher than the world', which is the characteristic of Xun situation. Different from Meng Ke's 'noble king and lowly tyrant', Xun Guo believes that 'righteousness and king, faith and hegemony' are tantamount to recognizing hegemony, and no longer rejecting hegemony like Mencius.

"Teacher Hui: The student knows also." Xiong Jing's head was still lowered, still hoping to get out of class earlier.

"Is it feasible to know?" I don't know if I noticed Xiong Jing's thoughts, Xun just didn't get out of class.

"May I ask the teacher, should the students be kingly or domineering?" Xiong Jing raised his head, Xun was drooping, but his eyes were not cloudy.

"What does Zijing think?" Xun Jing suddenly smiled.

‘…… Although we do not seek it, it is difficult to avoid the distractions of Germany, and this is true. The future of Germany lies not in Prussian liberalism, but in power. …… The great problems of the present day cannot be solved by speeches and majority resolutions – which is the mistake made in 1848 and 1849 – and it can only be solved by iron and blood'

Bismarck's 1862 speech on Iron and Blood suddenly came to mind, and Xiong Jing unconsciously recited it silently, and his voice was so small that Xun Jing finally heard only '...... Only with iron and blood'.

"Teacher, students think that the world can only be domineering." Xiong Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Domineering cannot last." Xun Jing nodded, then shook his head again. "In today's world, it is necessary to use both solemnity and law, and kingship and hegemony. Zijing only uses domineering and does not respect the king's way, and there is no one in the world. ”

"Teacher, the student will be the king of Chu in the future, and there is nothing else to ask for except to recover the hometown of Chu." Xiong Jing Road.

"If the world is not one, how can the war end?" Xun Guo smiled again.

"Teacher, if the world is one, future generations will forget that the war will be dangerous, and the northwest land is not connected to the sea, so don't do it." Xiong Jing said again.

"No access to the sea? Hehe. Xun Guo smiled even more, and Fu felt that it was too early to talk to the students about the way to govern the country, so he got up and got out of class.

It's the winter moon (October), and the wind seems to be cold overnight. Winter is coming soon, but Xiong Jing's so-called sea ships are still on the drawings. No one can foresee the impact on the whole world when a ship goes to sea.

"Meet ......" After Xun Jing left, Mi Xuan stepped forward to worship, but Xiong Jing stopped her.

"What's the matter?" Chu is different from Yayan, not a sister but a sister.

"I heard from Ruiyue that there may be something big in Yingdu." Mi Xuan was a little anxious, she came back directly from outside the palace.

"Or something big? What's the big deal? Xiong Jing was a little confused.

"Yes, yes......" Mi Xuan didn't know where to start in a hurry, and finally only said: "Father, someone ...... it"

"What?!" Xiong Jing froze instantly, "What did you say, what did you say?!" ”

"They said that my father had died," Mi Xuan began to cry when she said of her father, "Someone... To kill the king. ”

"You want to kill the king?" Xiong Jing was stunned for a while before turning the corner: If his father is really killed, he will be the king of Chu, and killing the king is to kill himself. He grabbed Mi Xuan, his knuckles turned a little white, and he asked urgently, "Who wants to kill the king?" But Huang Xie? ”

"I don't know who it is." The information she received from Qi Yue was very limited, and Qi Xuan only knew that someone was going to kill her brother.

"Where does the news come from? Don't leave it out from beginning to end, tell me everything. Xiong Jing tried his best to calm down, but he couldn't calm down, he completely forgot that Qi Xuan said that the news was said by Qi Yue at the beginning. After Mi Xuan finished speaking, he urgently summoned Deng Sui and Cai Bao to come over to discuss, and also summoned Wang Yin, the officials in the palace, the palace maids, and the temple people, all of whom were managed by him.

didn't say anything about his father, Xiong Jing briefly explained the matter, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

The crown prince solemnly summoned himself, whether the matter is true or not, it is serious. Fortunately, the prince lives in the palace and sleeps, and killing is not so simple. Cai Bao said: "Please don't leave the palace again, Your Highness." In the palace, if it is not the master of the East Palace, it is the red-clothed sanitation, and then there is the temple man. The walls of the palace are eight feet long, and ordinary people cannot enter. ”

"Exactly." Wang Yin immediately agreed, but he was a little panicked. "If there are not enough soldiers in the palace, you can ask General Jing to send someone to guard ......"

"No." Cai Bao interrupted. "If General Jing is invited to send someone into the palace, the thief will know. We should be secretly on guard, guard the palace gate after the incident, and then flank the left army before and after, and the thieves will be defeated. ”

"I heard that the division of Jiangdong is coming." Deng Sui was silent until the end. The atmosphere in the room was tense in vain, and the cold breeze outside the hall was poured in, and everyone trembled, dumbfounded and looked at each other.
