Chapter 122: Meeting King Qin
When Zhang Lu took Xunzi to the palace of King Qin, Zhang Shu just walked out of the study! Zhang Shu smiled and said to Zhang Lu: "Lord Xiangguo, the king just talked about you!" ”
Then I saw the old man who was over half a hundred years old next to Zhang Lu, and his eyes did not leave Xunzi. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Shu and looked at Xunzi, then pulled him aside and said: "This person is Xun Qingye, the sacrificial wine of the Qi Guoji Academy!" ”
After Zhang Shu heard Xiangguo's explanation, he nodded suddenly. Zhang Lu whispered a few words in Xunzi's ear, and followed Zhang Shu straight into the study of the palace! Just leave Xun Zi to wait outside!
As soon as Zhang Lu stepped into the study, King Qin happily asked him to come to his side and said, "Come on, Zhang Qing, I'm just looking for you!" Zhang Lu hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with my subordinates?" ”
King Qin picked up a stack of bamboo slips and said: "Now that Wei is coming to peace talks, the soldiers on the border can't hold it!" One after another, please fight! ”
After hearing King Qin's words, Zhang Lu said: "War is just a means outside the court, since the goal can be achieved in the court, why should we rekindle the soldiers!" ”
After hearing Xiangguo's words, King Qin agreed very much. Just annotate the words of rejection on the bamboo slips! As soon as I finished writing, I looked up and saw that Zhang Lu wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to say something to himself!
King Qin put down the pen in his hand and asked, "What is on Zhang Qing's mind?" ”
After Zhang Lu heard King Qin's question, he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My king's eyes are like torches, and his subordinates dare not deceive!" After speaking, he talked about Xunzi's own doctrine for King Qin, and the success of the matter depends on Xunzi's own creation!
After hearing Zhang Lu's words, the King of Qin pondered for a moment and said: "I have heard that Confucianism is relative, and Confucianism never enters Qin, so how can anyone come to Qin to promote Confucianism?" "Since the Qin State changed the law from the Shang monarch, it has become the most prosperous place for the Legalist doctrine, and now the King of Qin has rarely heard of a Confucian scholar pushing the doctrine to himself!
Zhang Lu seemed to be a little interested when he heard King Qin's words, and said on the side: "This time, the person who came this time has served as a sacrificial wine master in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State......
Zhang Luyi said that after Xunzi served as a sacrificial wine master in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, King Qin really became interested in Xunzi and said: "Since it is recommended by Zhang Qing, the widow will see him, Zhang Shu, go and invite Xun Qing to go!" ”
After Zhang Shu, who was standing on the side, heard King Qin's words, he hurriedly retreated and went to greet Xunzi who was standing outside the door! Xunzi waited outside for a while before seeing Zhang Shu come out, saying that he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, Xunzi was recommended by Zhang Lu to meet the King of Qin, Zhang Shu was courteous to him, and said to Xunzi with a smile: "Sir, please, the King of Qin is waiting for Mr. Yayan!" ”
Xunzi nodded and saluted Zhang Shu in return: "I'm tired!" ”
When Xunzi entered, Zhang Lu knelt beside King Qin, which shows that Zhang Lu was deeply favored by King Qin. King Qin seemed to be a bit of a school test Xunzi, and when he came up, he first expressed his disdain for Confucianism, and he said to Xunzi: "Confucianism is not beneficial to the country of people!" ”
Xunzi knelt opposite the King of Qin, he wanted to promote his political ideas and be accepted by the king, but he would not be like Confucius who only asked about the cultivation and did not care about the harvest, Mencius adhered to the stubborn belief of being the king's teacher.
Xunzi can be described as respectful to the King of Qin, his hands are raised above his eyebrows, and the loose scholar's clothes make the sleeves cover Xunzi's sight to the King of Qin, and he bowed to the King of Qin before replying: "What the king said is very true. But the king knows only one thing! ”
King Qin heard that Xun Zi did not refute his words, so he continued to ask: "I don't know what Xun Qing said about the rest?" "King Qin's opening words just now are just to test Xunzi's words, after all, the previous two Confucian masters have a bad impression in the king's heart.
As soon as Xun Zi heard that King Qin was still asking about himself, he knew that there was still some drama, otherwise King Qin would directly wave his hand and let himself retreat. Xunzi sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "Confucianism is the one who respects the king the most, and it is said: Confucianism is the first king, solemn and righteous, and respectful of the courtiers and the nobles of the above!" ”
Xunzi's words came out, King Qin also thought about it a little, and nodded in agreement, in the past, Confucius traveled around the world, and his disciples just did not leave him, and then looked at the people of other schools, it was a lot inferior!
Seeing that King Qin nodded, Xunzi continued to speak: "Moreover, Confucianism is well aware of the actions of people and ministers, and Confucian scholars work hard when they are appointed, and even if they are not appointed, they will be respectful and obedient. If it is not used, it will be retired to the people; It will be a success! ”
Speaking of this, King Qin only nodded, and did not see from his face whether he liked or disliked Xunzi's doctrine. However, Zhang Lu, who knew the habits of King Qin, understood that King Qin did not care about Zhang Lu's set of doctrines, or was not very interested. Today, if he hadn't recommended Xunzi to come, I'm afraid he would have been blasted out by King Qin.
Therefore, Zhang Lu kept signaling Xunzi, who was talking to King Qin, hoping that he would not talk about useless remarks, but directly talk about his core theories. Jun did not see Shang Jun see Qin Xiaogong, and said that the king of governing the country and governing the country with etiquette were not liked by the king of Qin, until the third meeting when he said that the rule of law led to the "Nine Treatises on the Governance of Qin", the Duke of Qin sat on the throne at the beginning, and at the end he sat on the policy of the Shang king, so what he said must be in line with the interest of the incumbent!
Xunzi only cared about talking about his Confucian political doctrine to the King of Qin, and he never looked at Zhang Lu's successive gestures. In fact, Xunzi was full of confidence in his entry into Qin, and he studied Confucianism and Legalism in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State. The Confucianism he is talking about now is the Confucian doctrine that he has reformed and perfected, and has gathered the essence of the pre-Qin princes to form a set of political theories suitable for absolute monarchs! Ask which country in the world is more suitable, only Qin! That's why he came to the Qin State thousands of miles away, eager for the King of Qin to recognize his talents and adopt his own doctrine!
When it came to the use of Confucianism, Xunzi couldn't help but say that his eyebrows fluttered, and then he continued: "If it is thanks to the King of Qin, Confucianism will serve the Qin State!" It is said: if the power is in the people, the material of the prince is also; Under the people, the ministers of the society and the treasure of the monarch are also! Confucianism is beautiful in this dynasty, and beautiful in the lower position! ”
After hearing this, King Qin was far from saying anything he was interested in, but just said lightly: "Good! After finishing speaking, he sat up from the banquet, looked at Zhang Lu sitting next to him, and then said to Xunzi: "At noon, the widow will go to the queen mother's bedroom, Xun Qing's words, the widow will think more!" With that, he walked out of the room!
