Chapter 293
"There is a good saying from the Witch of the Kingdom, this is a change that has not been seen in a thousand years." Xun Shen looked at his fellow disciples, word by word, solemnly, "The reason why my Legalist family can take root in Zhaoguo is that first, firstly, the kings of the past dynasties trusted, and secondly, Confucianism, Mojia and other prominent scholars, and did not compete with us with all their might. β
The eight schools of Confucianism and the three branches of the Mohist family are all fighting internally.
Zhang Zhiru, the son of Zhaoguo, and the ink in the Xiangli, are all losers who can't get along in the hinterland of the Central Plains and come to the border to beg for a living.
The most prominent rams and Gu Liang in Confucianism are all dangling in Chen and Zheng;
Momen Juzi is also in Chen Guo.
It's not that these schools don't want to come to Zhaoguo to develop, mainly because the Legalists have taken root in Zhaoguo, and they want to dig the foot of the wall, but the effort is too great, and they may not be able to dig it.
If you come out of the nest, can you not talk about it, your own base camp may be stolen, so every time you send a few people to lobby it, it's good to succeed, but forget it if you don't succeed.
But it's about to turn into an old calendar.
"Even if it is the Jiang royal family, under the Son of Heaven, there are also princes. If you are not a son of heaven, you can also be a minister. Xun Shen said slowly, "If you are today, there are no more princes." β
This means that all schools have no second choice, and they must do everything to win Yin Changying's love and recognition in order to have room to survive.
Otherwise, the king doesn't need your family to learn, and the ministers all follow the king, and the upper class can't get through, what face do you have to claim to be famous in the world?
There are people in Confucianism, there are people in Mohists, there are foundations in soldiers, there are rich people in miscellaneous families, there are foundations in Taoism, and what do Legalists have?
The king's trust.
Once the Legalists lose Yin Changying's other treatment, the consequences are extremely terrible.
All the schools will rush up and step on the Legalists a few times frantically, forcing them to never turn over, and then they will give up, lest the king will think of them again one day.
This is a war to the death.
There is no blood in killing, but it is so cruel that it is always the only way to kill everything.
Of course, Yang Yuan also understood that it was powerful, but he never dreamed that Xun Shen would take the initiative to ask him for peace for this reason.
Is there really such a saint in the world who repays grievances with virtue?
Yang Yuan didn't believe it.
Therefore, he echoed a sentence without being salty: "Brother Xun is the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of the teacher, and this time the law is revised, and the foolish brother is willing to take Brother Xun as the leader." β
Xun Shen knew that Yang Yuan was suspicious, and said calmly: "Yang Yuan, you once wanted to put me to death, just because I proposed a plan to attack Zheng Guo first, and was adopted by the king." β
When it came to this, the false smile on Yang Yuan's face was gone, only cold: "If you are seeking glory and wealth, my skills are not as good as others, and I have nothing to say." But what are you offering advice for? β
Xun Shen was silent.
This is the biggest knot in their hearts between these two brothers.
Although Yang Yuan was full of unspeakable jealousy towards Xun Shen, for a long time, he never thought of putting this senior brother to death.
Until Yin Changying decided to launch a war of annihilation against the six countries, Xun and Yang had a disagreement on the order of which country to fight first.
Yang Yuan believes that among the six countries, the defense of the country is the weakest, and the defense of the country should be destroyed first;
Xun Shen came with the task of defending the king at that time, and in order to prevent Yin Changying from sending troops to attack the country, he cited the advantages of attacking Zheng Guo first.
In the end, Yin Changying adopted Xun Shen's strategy and hit Zheng Guo first.
Xun Shen relied on this skill, even if the official worships the prime minister, it is not too much.
Yang Yuan himself does not lead troops, and if he wants to become the third duke, he can only rely on seeking merit for the country.
However, the biggest credit in the military strategy was robbed by Xun Shen again.
In other words, what he did indirectly blocked Yang Yuan's road to Qingyun.
The most ironic thing is that Xun Shen robbed him of this credit, but he didn't want to be the prime minister of Zhaoguo at all.
He was just trying to save his homeland.
What he dreams of, tries his best to obtain, but may not be able to get, but for others, it is at his fingertips, and he abandons it like a shoe, how can Yang Yuan not hate?
"For the sake of my teacher, I'll just say it once." Yang Yuan stared at this fellow senior brother, and his tone was like ice, "The two of us have never been all the way. β
With that, he poured the fragrant drink from the cup on the ground: "Please go back!" β
If it were in the past, Xun Shen would have been hit in the face like this, and he would have said nothing and walked away.
But now, he was silent for a moment, but said, "I admit that there is something wrong with my attitude towards you. β
The relationship between the two of them is like this, although Yang Yuan has a problem, Xun Shen is not much better.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't really agree with what this junior brother did.
This is not surprising.
Xun Shen is a descendant of the clan, with a noble background, worry-free food and clothing, and excellent talent. After being pampered by his parents at home, apprenticing with his teachers and becoming famous all over the world, the monarch must treat each other with courtesy wherever he goes.
He was never born poor and poor, so he naturally looked down on Yang Yuan and chased profits.
Yang Yuan smiled sarcastically: "What's wrong with Brother Xun? β
This is the first sincere sentence that Yang Yuan has said since Xun Shen stepped into the Yang family.
Yang Yuan knew better than anyone that Xun Shen's attitude towards him was already very good.
This prince never really neglected him, unlike many other classmates, who looked down on his background, wantonly humiliated, and never regarded him as a poor man.
Xun Shen is just ...... It's just that he feels sorry for him, thinking that with Yang Yuan's talent, he should spend more attention on learning instead of drilling camps.
But the origin of the person has long been written on the face and engraved into the bones.
Xun Shen was born as the son of the king's grandson, and Yang Yuan was the son of a small official, and the situation of the two was one day at a time.
If it weren't for the same teacher, Yang Yuan wouldn't even have the qualifications to see Xun Shen, and their world would not have intersected at all.
What Xun Shen can get without much effort, for Yang Yuan, it takes thousands of times more effort to get it, but it may not be successful.
Only those who are born with everything can pursue ideals and dignity;
People who have nothing can only throw away these illusory things and get fame and fortune first.
It's like a noble lady who will despise the concubines and serve people with sex, and they don't know how to be honest;
The concubines can only wear back the clothes they once took off one by one after going through a lot of hardships and getting on the throne.
Even so, the mark of shame will remain remembered for life.
In the face of Yang Yuan's heartfelt and sincere words, he couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation, Xun Shen shook his head and said calmly: "I originally thought that I was very well cultivated, so I couldn't help but be a little annoyed by your hostility, thinking that you were a villain with a bad heart. β
Yang Yuan sneered: "You don't have to elevate me, I'm not a gentleman." β
Xun Shen continued as if he hadn't heard Yang Yuan's words: "Today, I have found that my so-called self-cultivation is still condescending arrogance, really-"
He shook his head self-deprecatingly: "How ridiculous. β
