"Shopkeeper, you can't stay overnight?" Outside the Yingdu guest house, a blue-clothed gentleman was especially nostalgic, and his insistence aroused the dissatisfaction of the housekeepers: he clearly told him that the king had a life, and every family in the city could live, but he died here and did not leave.

"There is no place to stay. You can go to the people's house, the king has a life, and the family can stay......" The owner of the shop is counting the ant-nose money paid by the scholars who have stayed in the past few days, thinking that there is a new scholar to move in, and when he looks up, he sees that it is still the previous one, and he is a little impatient. "I said, Childe, the house is full, why don't you go? Don't you believe that the king has ordered the people to stay in the house? ”

"Xiao He, Pei County, I've seen the store." The blue-clothed gentleman smiled at the shopkeeper, and he said: "If you don't believe in the king's order, it's really inconvenient to stay in a private house, and I hope the shopkeeper will take it in." ”

Xiao He, who had just turned twenty, was already the age of crowning, and the common people were not allowed to have crowns or swords, so he only had a scarf on his head. Although the clothes and appearance are ordinary, the whole person looks sincere, especially the smile, which seems to be cute, and everyone feels festive when they see it.

"Even so, if you don't dislike ...... a gentleman who has a leg problem and goes to the doctor and doesn't return for a few days, if you don't dislike it......" For his pleasing sake, the shopkeeper finally remembered a bunk.

"Thank you." Xiao He shook it again, he is not a child of a noble family, he has to work as a farmer in addition to studying, his body is much stronger than that of ordinary scholars, and he is not afraid of diseases. Because of this, he didn't take a boat, slept in the open, walked to Ying, and almost missed the exam.

The guest house has a good independent courtyard, a large room, and a wing room. In this examination, each county admitted ten, more than a dozen, and each city admitted several people, and the number of scholars was unprecedented, so all those who had read books came to Yingdu to take the exam. There are dozens of counties and two or three hundred towns in the state of Chu, and more than 10,000 people have read books, especially in Ludi, except for those who are engaged in business with Cao Bing's family, the rest of the good families are studying. This time, more than 10,000 people came to Guangludi, plus the scholars from other counties, and more than 20,000 scholars poured into the entire Yingdu.

The king rewarded the people with 50 yuan for staying in the house, and also rewarded the guest house for 50 yuan for staying in the house, and some small guest houses were rented into shops, and several people lived in one room. Xiao He lives in Tongpu. Unexpectedly, before he entered the room, he met the noble son of this county.

Yongya's Yong, Yong's originating from official positions. Pei was originally a feudal country, and later a county. After the decline of the clan, the Yong clan still existed as an official residence. Breeding to this day, the former chef has become a hero.

"I've seen Young Master Yong." Before Xiao He put down his luggage, he saluted Yongya. Although he is a Xiao, this Xiao is the Xiao who takes the country as his clan after the Xiao State was destroyed by Chu, and the non-ancestor is really the Xiao family. After Chu destroyed Xiao (597 BC), the descendants of Xiao failed to restore the country, and most of the people moved to Pei.

"Xiao... He, "Xiao He is inconspicuous everywhere he goes, except for his lovely smile, Yongya remembers him for a reason.

"Young Master Yong recognizes me?" Xiao He was shocked, his family was poor and had no money to go to school, and his literacy depended on the elders of the clan, and he and Yongya were not the same teachers.

"This guest house is full of Peixian scholars, and you will be the one who arrives late." There was an indescribable smug smile on the tooth smile. "Let's go, quickly put down your bags and go have a few drinks with me, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter with Young Master Yong?" Xiao He was already surprised by Yongya's name, and now Yongya, who is a nobleman, actually invited himself to drink, he was even more worried in his heart, there was no good feast, Yongya must have asked for something.

"Does the king really want to allow all countries to restore their kingdoms, and ignore the ancestral society?" Within the Yan Dynasty, Taifu Xun, who had been silent for several months, finally spoke up. As a Taifu, the student became the king and did not invite himself to enter the Yan Dynasty, he endured it, and he endured it without asking himself once for the temple to see the government, but now the scholar is bigger than Yu Yingdu, but the questions in the exam are not the ones he recommended at the beginning, and he finally couldn't help it.

"Tell the teacher, what the big test does is to find its customs, recall history, and teach its people, this is national politics, so the examination papers are different, not the study of Confucianism." Xiong Jing looked at Xun Jing a little helplessly, this is the teacher that his father chose for himself in order to balance the court.

He didn't like Confucianism in his later life, and he still doesn't like Confucianism in this life, not to mention that Xun is called Confucianism, but he is actually a Legalist. After Confucius, Confucianism is eight points, and the Confucianism of Xunzi is the Confucianism of Sun. Sun's Confucianism is very different from the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius——

Confucius's Confucianism is etiquette-based, up to the monarch of heaven, the boy, the grass people, and the savage, all must follow the etiquette, and everything must not exceed the etiquette. If there is a transgression, there is no way, and if there is no way to change, it will be killed. Like medieval priests and nuns, the Confucian reminded the king that he could not put his hands under the quilt when he sleek, but could only type with his hands.

Mencius's Confucianism is people-oriented. 'The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light', 'The old and the old, and the old, the young and the young, and the young of the people. This assertion is no different from the well-known white left in later generations. I don't care about myself but care about the old and young all over the world, and my family is so poor that I can't open the pot, but I always think about African refugees and women who have lost their footing, and I also have words to say that this can be 'the king of the world'.

Xunzi's Confucianism...... If it can be called Confucianism, it is Junbenism. This means that everyone must obey the etiquette law, but the king can behave. The rites he advocated were not ancient rites, but tailor-made new rites. You think it's a rite, but it's actually the Fa. If you say it's the Dharma, it will tell you that it's the ritual since ancient times.

Under the cloak of Gu Li, it is full of private goods. Xiong Jing looks down on it because if you want to be dictatorial, go directly, why hide it like this? Of course, the Confucianism of Xun Guo is more backbone than the Confucianism of Dong Zhongshu in later generations, Xun Guo claims to be the emperor, and he really wants to practice his law, although Xiong Jing is still the king of Chu, but he is equivalent to the Pope of Rome, the etiquette law is formulated by him, and the violation of etiquette is judged by him;

Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism is just a decoration used by the imperial court to beautify, and Confucianism is not even a Taifu, so he can only be a counselor and a historian. The emperor's reward is Jun's grace, killing is also Jun's grace, thunder and rain are all Jun's grace. The real Confucianism has withdrawn from the court, and only the clan of the gate lords remains. And in the Song Dynasty, the gate lord clan completely disappeared, and Confucianism was demoted to one level, only the family remained, and then ......

What is Confucianism? In Xiong Jing's eyes, Confucianism is actually a form of organization.

Before the collapse of etiquette, Confucianism was not yet called Confucianism, and Confucianism was a feudal system that integrated the ruling techniques of the Xia, Shang and Three Dynasties. Although feudalism originated in the Zhou Dynasty, it had already taken shape in the Shang Dynasty, and the merchants were influenced by the Xia. Feudalism does not give you a vacant land to make you start from scratch, and the feudal monarch gives you a piece of land where there are already 'barbarians', and asks you to conquer and assimilate.

Conquest relies on force, and etiquette is assimilation on the basis of conquest, Confucius abandoned the most important foundation of Confucianism: force, and turned the old six arts containing 'royal' and 'shooting' into a new six arts that only have etiquette; Mencius was even more desperate, with one mouth cannon to walk the world, righteous and stern, saying that whoever is afraid, but no one believes it; true faith, then waiting for 'doing benevolence and righteousness and losing the country';

Xun is smart and knows that it is useless to rely on mouth cannons alone, and that ruling must rely on killing. He actually wanted to partner with the King of Qin when he entered Qin in the past: you play the spear, I will make the mouth cannon, and the two sides will rule the world together. It's a pity that the Qin State is a latecomer barbarian, and he can't even understand the overall war, and the soldiers who carry out the overall war all rely on the external hires of the Sanjin Dynasty, they only understand that 'what's mine is mine, and yours is also mine', why should I give my life, and if you make a cannon, you have to be on an equal footing with me?

Before the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism was the world, possessed force, could conquer, and even assimilate; After the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism was only a feudal country, which could be defended but not conquered; After the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism was no longer a country, but a scholar clan, but it still retained its primitive instinct - when the Wuhu went south, the Wang family and the Zhu clan turned the family into a country and protected China from extinction; After the Song Dynasty, Confucianism was just a family, which could build a walled house, go to Nanyang, build a township group, and collect money, but it could no longer turn a family into a country, so the same pattern, the richer Jiangdong, and the Southern Ming Dynasty were still not guaranteed.

Stand on the upper reaches of history and overlook the lower reaches of history. Confucianism is like a big river flowing into the desert, although it flows farther and farther, the river water becomes less and less, and finally even the river disappears, leaving only memories in the classics, and small puddles remain in reality.

"Since I am a Taifu, I have the power to assist the government. The king's new policy is the government of the troubled country, and this government should be stopped. The student was suddenly in a daze, Xun Jing was naturally even more angry, although this student was respectful, but he never served him wholeheartedly as a teacher in his heart, and never discussed political affairs with him, and listened to his opinions.

"Why should the teacher be like this?" Xiong Jing looked at him, and he hoped that a dignity could be preserved between master and apprentice. "The teacher is my teacher, but the national politics is the politics of the ministers, and the courtiers and Ling Yin say that the government is good, and I agree; Besides, my Chu State is originally a barbarian country, and there has never been a precedent for Taifu to assist the government, if the teacher really wants to interfere in the country's affairs, I am afraid that the ministers will not accept it. ”

"Barbarians? Do you admit that the state of Chu is a barbarian?! Xun Jing looked at Xiong Jing in disbelief, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

"yes. The state of Chu was originally a barbarian. The first king said, 'I am a barbarian, and I do not speak to China'. "Xiong Jing pretends to be crazy and stupid, not ashamed of barbarians, but proud of barbarians.

"Where did Zijing say that?!" Xun was stunned, and Zhang Cang, a disciple of the Yan Dynasty who came with him, was furious. "The dignified Chu country, how can you consider yourself a barbarian country?"

"What's so bad about barbarians?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. "I just like to be a barbarian. When the state of Chu was barbarian, the Central Plains was frightened, and after learning etiquette, it became the embarrassed appearance it is today. I'd rather the state of Chu be a barbarian than the state of Chu to be wantonly bullied. ”

"How can it be!" Xun Jing, who couldn't help it, finally shouted, and before getting up to leave, he took off the commission and put it on the ground, and finally said: "I have never been a barbarian student!" ”

If a teacher does not recognize a student, it is a great sin to be polite. Seeing that Xiong Jing didn't stop him, the historians on the left and right were so anxious that they stomped their feet: "The king quickly stopped the Taifu." ”

"Why stop?" Xiong Jing looked at him, feeling a little depressed, he didn't want the situation to evolve like this.

"Alas, my lord!" Right Shi sighed: "Xun Qing is a famous man in the world, and the king has lost the heart of the world's scholars!" ”

"What will my Chu State do next?" Xiong Jing didn't look back, and behind him stood Mi Xuan, who was dressed as a clerk.

Qi Xuan is already Xiong Jing's full-time clerk, and Chang Jiang is old, and many confidential documents have been transferred to her for processing. Listening to Xiong Jing's question at this time, she thought for a while before saying, "King Yu: It's the government of sending guests." ”

There are many meanings of sending off guests, and the right history is not at all understood. Xiong Jing could only say: "It's to chase away customers." If you are not from Chu, you are not allowed to be an official, an official, a guest, or a slave in our Chu country. I'll ask the teacher for my guilt. ”

The left and right histories are petrified in an instant. "The King,...... Don't do that, don't do that! ”
