Chapter 3 The First Ghost Valley and the Hundred Schools

Time flies, five years have passed, and Zhao Jie is already five years old. In the first three years, Zhao Jie spent most of his time doing two things - eating and sleeping. And at the beginning of the next two years, when Zhao Jie began to realize that he might have traveled to ancient times instead of being reincarnated into the future, he felt panic, fear, nervousness, anger and reluctance, which was panic about the unknown, nervousness about life in the new world, and reluctance to give up on his lover and loved ones. After a while, Zhao Jie gradually calmed down. He figured it out: he knew that he couldn't go back, and no matter how much trouble he made, it would only add to his troubles.

Human beings are worthy of being the most adaptable creatures in this world, as long as they have a mind, people will change a lot, Zhao Jie is no longer frightened, and began to plan for the future. It took Zhao Jie a year to learn the language and writing of this era.

For a long time in the next short period of time, through the conversations of the people around him, Zhao Jie finally determined that he had crossed over, traveled to the pre-Qin era, traveled to the Warring States period, traveled to the Zhao State, one of the Seven Heroes, traveled to the period when the Zhao State turned from prosperity to decline, and traveled to 273 BC, which was still more than ten years away from the outbreak of the Battle of Changping. As the future heir to the throne of Zhao, does he change history, or does he resign himself to it? This question has been bothering him.

One day, Zhao Jie analyzed his situation, he lifted the pen and drew a cross, divided a piece of cloth into equal parts, he held a brush to write the advantages of changing history in the upper left corner, the disadvantages in the lower right corner, his own advantages in the upper part, and the disadvantages in the lower part.

Benefits: Zhao may defeat Qin and unify the six kingdoms, and he will go down in history as an example of Ming Jun.

Disadvantage: Although you can live well, your reputation in the future will not be too good.

Advantages: More than others, they have a knowledge accumulated over a thousand years and life experience after a thousand years, and at the same time, they also understand the development of history and can prepare in advance.

Disadvantages: 1. I am young, and no one will take my words seriously; 2. In this era, the production level is low, and there is no room for high-tech products to survive; 3. Due to Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, and the time of his subsequent experience, by the time of my previous life, many pre-Qin events were unrecorded, mistakenly recorded, or unknown, so my historical knowledge may also be wrong;

In the end, Zhao Jie came to the conclusion that he wanted to change history, but the top priority was to learn, to understand the world through learning, to increase his voice in public through learning, and to gild through learning.

Sometimes Zhao Jie would also feel fortunate to have traveled to the Warring States, because the Warring States Period was the most desirable era in his previous life.

Sengoku, it was the best time! It was the most depraved time! Those were the years of wisdom! It was an uncivilized time! It was a time of strong faith! It was a time of doubt about everything! It was the sunny season! It was the time of the dark night! It was a spring of hope! It was a desperate winter! There are many wars, beacons are in flames, heroes are born in troubled times, countless heroes and heroes are either shining on the stage, or disappearing, that is an era of everyone! It was a time of heroes! People have it all! People have nothing! People go straight to heaven! People go to hell! An adventurer's paradise! It was a great time when authorities could not find the right words to describe it!

In short, in the first five years, Zhao Jie made up his mind to change history.

*********************************************************************

"Jie'er!" The door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful woman walked into the room. I saw a four-year-old child, with his head propped on his hands, lying on a very low table, deep in thought.

"Mother, is there something wrong?" Zhao Jie woke up from his contemplation and looked up to see his mother.

"Jie'er, you're thinking nonsense again, clean up and accompany your mother to your grandfather's house to see the outside world."

In the past five years, Zhao Jie has been like a caged bird, locked up in the prince's mansion and not allowed to go out. As soon as I heard my mother's words, Zhao Jie quickly asked the maid to tidy up my clothes, tidy up the room, and quickly ran out of the house and climbed into the carriage. The mother behind him said angrily, "Slow down, slow down." The ministers and maids around him were a little panicked.

After a while, the carriage slowly moved forward, and Zhao Jie couldn't wait to look out of the window.

The territory of Zhao is roughly the northern and central part of present-day Shanxi, the western and southern part of Hebei, and the cultivated land area in the territory is relatively small, so the Zhao State has been implementing a policy of paying equal attention to agriculture and commerce since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Handan, the capital of Zhao State, has thus become a prosperous commercial city second only to Linzi of Qi State. Therefore, on the one hand, Handan City maintains the nature of the national capital, and on the other hand, it has the nature of a city, and is a place where regional handicrafts and commerce are concentrated. Its population has reached hundreds of thousands. At the same time, Handan City was also a gathering place for the cultural class at that time, and my grandfather, as the secretary of Zhao Guo and the title of Fengyang Jun, naturally lived in the national capital.

Along the way, there are houses on both sides of the road, including tea shops, wine shops, shops, and so on. There are silk and satin, jewelry and spices, swords, guns, swords, halberds and other specialized operations in the store, in addition to medical clinics, rice grain groceries, ** gambling halls, all walks of life, everything, all kinds of shops at the head of the colorful flags. There are businessmen doing business, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, family members riding carriages, tourists from other places asking for directions, heroes drinking in restaurants, men, women and children, farmers and businessmen, all kinds of preparations. There are all kinds of transportation vehicles, and there are all kinds of vehicles, and it is a prosperous scene of the city integrating politics and commerce.

After driving for seven or eight miles, a huge mansion jumped into view. Get out of the car and stop to watch, the four big characters of Fengyang Junfu are displayed in front of you.

The mother took Zhao Jie's hand and walked into the mansion, looking around, the whole mansion was simple and luxurious.

Everyone in the house came out to greet each other, and after a period of greetings, his mother and daughters went to the side room to talk, and because of Zhao Jie's insistence, he followed his grandfather Li Dui.

"Grandpa, I watched "Guiguzi" today, Guiguzi is really smart! Is there a way for you to get me to join him? ”

A seventeen or eight-year-old child ran out of the study, panting and excited. "Hey, who are you? How is it in my house? ”

"Min'er, don't be rude, this is the son of the current prince, your cousin His Royal Highness Jie." Li Dui introduced.

"Meet Your Highness." Li Min bent down and saluted.

Zhao Jie naturally couldn't accept his worship, so he hurriedly supported him, and Li Dui next to him looked at him with a relieved smile. Immediately after that, the two little ones followed an old man into the study.

After entering the study, Li Dui looked at Zhao Jie, and Li Min said gently: "Min'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you if you worship Guiguzi as a teacher." Legend Guiguzi's real name is Wang Xu, is a defender, more than 100 years ago was famous princes, and then suddenly disappeared from the world, secluded in the Yunmeng Mountain Guiguzi, self-named Guiguzi, and Mozi befriended, once with Mozi together to cultivate the Tao and collect medicine. It is said that he is extremely learned, has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and is responsible for three great wonders: one is theology, the sun, the stars, the latitude, divination, gossip, the budget is sophisticated, and the accuracy is very accurate; the second is military science, six Tao and three strategies, with thousands of changes, marching in formation, and unpredictable ghosts and gods; The third is vertical and horizontal learning, extensive writing, judging the situation, exporting chapters, and endless waves. He taught only four students in his life - Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi, the first two focused on learning military science, and the latter two focused on learning vertical and horizontal science. Min'er, the "Guiguzi" you saw is some excerpts I asked for from Su Qin when he was working with me. After Su Qin's death, there were no more Guigu disciples in the world, and I estimated that Guiguzi should have died. However, if you want to make a contribution and leave your name in history, you can not only study in Guiguzi, but also travel to Kyushu and learn the art of a hundred schools.

Li Dui stopped, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued.

Since the king of Zhou Ping moved eastward, the status of "co-master" of Zhou Tianzi was lost, and the princes went their own way, and the vassal states were rich and strong, recruiting talents, and competing for hegemony in the world, so the scholars were encouraged to establish private schools and formed many scholars and schools of thought. Among them, the schools with significant fame include Confucianism, Moism, Taoism, Legalism, Bingjia, Yinyang, and Zonghengjia.

Let me start with Confucianism. Confucianism is the earliest school of thought, which was founded by Confucius in Lu as early as the time of Zhao State, and later gradually developed into an ideological system with benevolence and forgiveness and etiquette as the core. They took Confucius as their ancestor and "Confucianism" as a symbol of common recognition. Since the death of Confucius, his 3,000 disciples and 72 sages have actively spread Confucianism in various countries and carried it forward. About a hundred years ago, another Confucian was born, and he was Mencius. Mencius, who studied under Confucius's grandson Si, inherited and developed Confucius's thoughts, and put forward the ideas of "benevolent government" and "royal way". He traveled around the Wei, Qi, Song, Teng, Lu, and Xue countries, but his ideas were "far and broad beyond things," and almost no one adopted his ideas of governing the country. So he returned to lecture and write books with his disciples, which greatly spread Confucianism. After Mencius's death, the baton of Confucian inheritance passed to Xunzi. Xunzi is a native of my Zhao country, and he became famous more than ten years ago when he lectured in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, and became a rising star in Confucianism. Over the years, he has traveled to six countries and has gradually become the new leader of Confucianism recognized by all the children of Confucianism in the world. He gathered the strengths of many families and put forward the new Confucian ideas of "royal road" and "benevolent government", which once again set off the spread of Confucianism in the princely countries. Today's Confucianism is the world's most prominent learning, and there are the most talented people among the vassal states, who are active in the world and are chosen by the princes and kings.

Let's talk about the Mohist family, which is also known as Confucianism. The Mo family was founded by Mo Zhai. Mo Zhai put forward the ideas of "love", "non-attack", "selection of talents", "use of energy" and "Shangtong", which were deeply supported by the small people and had great influence among the people. Unlike the loose group organization of other schools in which members only exchanged ideas, and which did not interfere with the political activities of members, Mo Zhai also established the Mohists into a disciplined academic community while proposing ideas. The supreme leader of the Mo family is called the Juzi, and the members of the Mo family call themselves Mo masters. The giant is designated by the previous generation, passed down from generation to generation, and enjoys the supreme position in the group with the giant order as a token. The giant ordered that the ink man must go to the soup and fight the fire, and the death will not be returned. It is said that the first giant of the Mo family was Mo Zhai, followed by Meng Sheng, followed by Tian Xiangzi, followed by belly, and then the current giant, unknown. Most of the ink writers are small people, and those who engage in debate are called "ink debates"; Those who engage in martial arts are called "ink heroes", and those who are officials in various countries must implement the ideas of the Mo family, and they would rather resign when it does not work. In addition, the inkers who are officials have to donate money to the community. There is also a set of Mohist methods within the Mo family - those who kill die and those who injure others are punished. The Mohists' tight organizational structure made the princes and countries love and hate them. Aiqi has mastered huge social human resources, and the members are extraordinary; It has become an independent country, and its members do not abide by the laws of the world, which is difficult to govern, and has become a factor of social instability. In recent years, some countries have intensified their attacks on the Mo family, and the Mo family has begun to decline, and there are still many members gathered in the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, and Chu. In the world of Qi is called Qi Mo, in Zhao is called Zhao Mo, and in Chu is called Chu Mo.

Taoism, also known as Xianxue, was founded by Lao Tzu and advocated quiet and inaction, and Zhuangzi inherited and developed, and most of its members lived in seclusion.

Although the above three schools are prominent schools and have many members, they are not the most prosperous and popular schools in today's world. The most developed and most popular schools are the Legalists, the Soldiers, the Vertical and Horizontal Schools, and the Yin and Yang Schools, which I will talk about next.

Legalism, its founder is recognized as Guan Zhong and Zi Chan. After the division of the three families, a Legalist figure appeared in the Wei state, his name was Li Kui (kui), and he was the first to carry out the reform of the law in the Wei state with the support of the king of Wei. He formulated the "Book of Laws", advocating that "the law is not ancient, not the present". After the change, the national strength of the Wei State increased greatly, and the three Jin Dynasty were subdued, the west took Hexi, the east pressed Qi, the south suppressed Sheng Chu, and the north destroyed Zhongshan, so the princes and countries began to notice the school of Legalism and reused the Legalist people, and successively changed the law to become stronger. Those who are in Qi are Zhao people are cautious, those who are in Chu are Lu people Wu Qi, those who are in Qin are Wei people Shang Ying, those who are Yan are Wei people Le Yi, those who are in Zhao are Zhao people Feiyi, and those who are in Han are Zheng people Shen is harmless. They all advocate the rule of law, change the law to make it strong, and the king governs the people with "magic", "law" and "power". Among the princes and countries today, the Legalists represented by them are the strongest forces, and the members of the Legalists are all highly used and occupy high positions.

The founder of the military family is Sun Tzu, and the representative figures of its successors are Sima Suiyi, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, etc. Due to the constant wars between the vassal states, most of its members are generals in various countries and fight on the battlefield for the vassal states to which they belong. They advocated the use of force to achieve the goal of unifying the country through war.

The Yin-Yang family, founded by Zou Yan, advocated the use of the five elements to determine politics. Their most attractive doctrine is the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven, through which people can pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is said that they already knew through the calculation of the Mandate of Heaven who would rule the world. In recent years, the Yin and Yang family has gradually lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests;

Zonghengjia, the founder of Guiguzi, is represented by his disciples Su Qin and Zhang Yi. The members of the Zongheng family are the initiators and implementers of the vertical and horizontal system, and most of their members are strategists and debaters, who can often determine the direction of a country's development at critical moments. Today, there is a person in my Zhao State who calls Yu Qing, who has the skill of vertical and horizontal, and he is a member of the vertical and horizontal family. I've dealt with them before, too.

After Li Dui finished speaking, he sighed, and then said: "The past is unbearable, so don't talk about it." Min'er, you wait a few more years, when you are older, I will let you go out to study, what teacher to worship, what industry to become, everything depends on your creation. ”

"Sir, it's time for dinner." There was the sound of a maid outside.

"Jie'er, Min'er, let's go to dinner together!"

So Li Dui took Zhao Jie and Li Min's hands and went to dinner together.
