……

When Xunzi took his disciples into the hospitality hall from the outside, and was about to say sorry to Chang'an Jun, he saw Chang'an Junzheng and Zou Zheng sitting opposite each other, talking and laughing like two old friends who had forgotten their old friends.

"Houxue boy, I've seen Xunzi." Mingyue had the opportunity to see Xunzi's appearance clearly at this time, but saw that he had a simple appearance, charitable eyes, but full of wisdom.

In Xunzi's opinion, Chang'an Jun's etiquette is appropriate, polite, and not at all as arrogant and proud as some Qi Chu princes, like a studious young man, plus greeting Xunzi in the Handan dialect of Zhao State, which made Xunzi feel good.

Zou Zheng seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "When the sacrificial wine was not there, I talked to Chang Anjun about my uncle's great Kyushu, and Chang Anjun talked to me about the book "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", ......"

Xunzi had also heard of this strange book, which described in detail seven hundred years ago, King Mu of Zhou drove eight horses to the west, but he did not have the opportunity to see the specific content.

"Back then, my uncle only watched it twice at King Wei Xiang in Daliang City." Zou Zheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful, King Wei Xiang likes to collect books, but unfortunately there are so many books, all of them were buried with him, and now I am afraid that they are all decaying.

Mingyue only didn't tell him that the tomb of King Xiang of Wei in Jiyi would be dug up in the Western Jin Dynasty five hundred years later, and that batch of books was still intact, and the Jin people sorted out many chapters, the most famous of which was "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", as well as the official history of Wei, which almost subverted the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" of ancient Confucian history.

Hearing the regret in Zou Zheng's words, he said: "Actually, there are also in the palace of King Zhao, after all, this book tells the story of King Zhou Mu and my ancestor of the Zhao family. When I came to Qi this time, I asked for a copy from the royal family's storage room, and I read it when I was bored on the road, and if the two gentlemen were interested, I would give it to myself when I came to the school palace another day. “

Zou Zheng was overjoyed, and naturally thanked him, their interests in the Yin and Yang family were indeed extremely extensive, from astronomy and geography to the subtle relationship between the five elements, all of which were involved, and he couldn't help but ask, is the deeds of King Zhou Mu in the book true?

This is the advantage of being born in the royal family, and the intellectual resources occupied are the envy of the gentlemen under the government, and Mozi also had to go to various vassal states to "please watch the spring and autumn of a hundred countries", which gave him the capital to fight against Confucianism.

Mingyue was also fully prepared before she came, so she talked eloquently: "According to what is written in the book, the whole journey to the west this time is 35,000 miles!" Its circumferential route is to cross the Yellow River from the north of Zongzhou, cross Taihang, wade through Hutuo, go out of Yanmen, arrive at Hezong, pass through Helan, pass through Qilian, cross the desert, and finally arrive at the state of the Queen Mother of the West...... After that, he traveled 1,900 miles north to the northwest wilderness where the birds unfeathered, and then returned. “

Xunzi, who has always been rigorous in his studies, didn't believe it, shook his head and said: "In the world of King Zhou Mu, I'm afraid I can't go that far." “

Mingyue bowed her head and said: "Indeed, in fact, Mu Tianzi and Zhao Zaofu may not have been to such a distant west, maybe it was a certain businessman who often walked in Hudi and wrote his experience into it, but pretended to be the name of King Mu of Zhou. “

The so-called pseudonym, that is, pretending to be someone else's name, in order to elevate one's own right to speak, is very common in the works of the hundreds of schools. What "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Taigong Liutao" and "Guanzi" were all written by the princes of the Warring States in the name of the ancients, and even the "Shangshu" circulated in various factions of Confucianism has many chapters that are forged works of Tuogu, and Xunzi and Zou Zheng are not surprised.

However, Mingyue did not underestimate the value of "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" because of this, this is a rare geographical work in this era, and the situation in the Western Regions and even Central Asia is no longer a blank and reckless land from the perspective of China......

He suggested: "Mr. Zou, in fact, the kid is thinking that if you want to confirm the Great Kyushu Doctrine, you still have to actually verify it. Why not follow the example of Mu Tianzi's biography, send a fleet of ships across the sea to the east, explore along the coast to the north and south, see what can be found, and by the way, trace the outline of the coastline on the map and bring it back, so that we can discover other continents in our lifetime. “

Xunzi laughed: "Going to the sea to search, isn't this what the warlock does?" “

Mingyue Zhenzhen said: "The purpose of the magician is to find the ethereal Three Immortal Mountains, as well as the elixir of immortality. The purpose of the school palace is different, it is to explore, to seek knowledge, and to know if there are other regions outside of Kyushu. Although the sons of the subordinates are not cured and discuss, the things discussed cannot be fabricated out of thin air, but must be based on facts. “

In order to find out why China declined in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, some Western historians in later generations have investigated the root cause, believing that Chinese civilization is too conservative and lacks a desire to explore.

However, in the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, it can be said that it was an era of geographical discoveries in the East, Zou Yan and others put forward hypotheses, and businessmen from various countries brought back rumors and information from outside that did not know whether they were true or false, which aroused people's curiosity, and finally Tang Meng, Zhang Qian and others realized the exploration and discovery of regions outside the traditional "Kyushu".

Who dares to say that the Chinese at the time of the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties lacked a desire to explore?

Qi navigation industry has been very developed, from Yan Jieshi to Jiaodong, from Langya to Wu Yue route has been opened, is simply a natural suitable for overseas exploration of the country, if can be led by the Jixia School Palace, to carry out an "overseas scientific expedition", may become the precursor to open the Oriental Maritime Age?

He couldn't help but open his mind and said: "Or send a caravan to cross the Qin State to the west, follow the route of Mu Tianzi, and see if the Western Queen Mother Kingdom and other states really exist, if it really discovers a broader world outside of China, the Great Kyushu Doctrine is not a hypothesis, but a fact!" ”

Zou Zheng was a little moved by this, but shook his head again and said: "It is feasible to send a ship to the sea to explore, but it is absolutely impossible to cross the Qin State and go to the west to retake the route of Mu Tianzi......"

Mingyue was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

"The Qin State forbids foreign merchants and travelers, and without a talisman, it is difficult for anyone to move an inch within the Qin realm."

Zou Zheng had a bad impression of the Qin State, and continued: "I have also heard that even if the Qin people themselves are soldiers, they will go to other counties at will without the orders of the government, and they will also be punished by having their titles cut off. Its country is like a stagnant water, and outsiders don't want to stir up the slightest wave! ”

However, Xunzi had a different opinion, and he waited for Zou Zheng to finish saying bad things about Qin Guo before he said slowly: "The old man thinks that Qin Guo's move is understandable!" ”

Mingyue hurriedly looked at Xunzi, but saw that when he talked about the Qin State, he didn't have the hatred and disgust of ordinary scholars of the Six Kingdoms, but had a trace of interest!
