Early in the morning, Zhao Kuo reluctantly opened his eyes and subconsciously grabbed to the side, but instead of grabbing a big knife, he grabbed a soft thing.

"The King." Wei curled up beside him, looking at Zhao Kuo in fear.

"I'm sorry for scratching you." Zhao Kuo looked around, a little stunned, it turned out that he was no longer in the barracks. "After half a year of fighting, I finally don't have to fight anymore."

"The concubine is fine." Wei Shi hurriedly shook his head.

"You rest a little longer." Zhao Kuo said.

"The concubine serves the king and dresses herself." Wei said shyly.

Zhao Kuo wore clothes under the service of the Wei family, because he had not yet ascended the throne, so Zhao Kuo was not wearing a royal robe, just an ordinary vermilion robe.

Zhao Guo is still red, and the robes of the nobles are mostly red.

Wei's face was full of shame, biting his lip lightly, full of charm, and timidly helped Zhao Kuo tie his belt, and Zhao Kuo was quite moved to see it.

However, thinking that Zhao Guo was in chaos now, and the Six Kingdoms could be defeated at any time, his restless heart gradually calmed down.

"You don't have to be afraid, this king will not embarrass you." Zhao Kuo gently hugged Wei's waist.

"The concubine is not afraid." Wei Shi hurriedly lowered his head and whispered.

"After I left, I remember to go to my mother to say hello." Zhao Kuo admonished.

"The concubine remembered." Wei's eyes lit up and he said happily.

Bidding farewell to the Wei family, Zhao Kuo came to the front hall with the guards.

Zhao did not have a special place for King Zhao to deal with affairs, and under normal circumstances, the monarch dealt with the folds in the place where he lived, that is, in the dormitory.

And the main hall is the place where the great court meeting is held, or the king of Zhao convenes the ministers to discuss.

However, Zhao Guo has changed and has a lot of affairs, and the minister often needs to ask Zhao Kuo for instructions, so Zhao Kuo directly moved the folds to the main hall to deal with it.

Looking at the piles of folds in front of the eucalyptus, Zhao Kuo had a headache, "It seems that it is necessary to make paper, otherwise this pile of bamboo slips will be piled higher than the hill, who can stand it." ”

However, Zhao Kuo doesn't know how to make paper, he only knows that it is probably bamboo or wood that is boiled into wood pulp, and finally turned into paper, and the specific details and steps are not known, but fortunately, he doesn't need to do it himself, Shaofu also raises a lot of craftsmen, not to mention the Mo family.

"At least the direction is correct, and the rest will be left to the Mo family and that group of craftsmen. In history, if you are groping around, you can invent papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty, and now that you have a direction and strong official support, there should be no problem. Zhao Kuo thought to himself.

As soon as Zhao Kuo sat down, a guard came in and reported: "King, there is an old man outside the palace who asks to see him, and he is waiting outside the palace at the end of the day." ”

"The old man? What is your name? Zhao Kuo asked strangely.

"He said his name was Xun Qian." The guard said respectfully.

"Xun situation? How does this name sound familiar? Xun condition, Xunzi, name situation! Zhao Kuo chattered a few times, and finally thought of who Xun Guo was!

"Xunzi!"

"Invite him in." Zhao Kuo said excitedly, he didn't expect Xunzi to come to see him.

Historically, Xunzi was the most famous Confucian scholar after Confucius and Mencius. As the saying goes, Confucius said benevolence, Mencius took righteousness, and Xunzi took "rites" and "law". ”

There is nothing wrong with "li", but because of this "law", Xunzi was called a heresy by Confucianism, and was not even recognized by Confucianism for a long time.

Moreover, Xunzi is also the first troll of the Warring States Period, spraying Mencius, Troll Sizi, Spraying Huishi, spraying Yangzi, spraying Gongsun Long...... There's nothing he doesn't squirt.

"Could it be that Xunzi wants to go out of Zhao Kingdom?" Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.

Confucianism never refused to be an official, and even sought officials everywhere to realize the ambitions in their hearts.

When Confucius traveled around the world, he wanted to become an official in other countries, and in the end, he was not reused, so he returned to teach books.

Mencius was the same, he traveled around the world with his disciples in middle age, and began to lecture and write books in his later years.

Xunzi is a little different from the above two, he not only went to other countries, but also entered Qin twice, breaking the century-old tradition of Confucianism not entering Qin.

However, without exception, whether it was Confucius, Mencius or Xunzi, they were all courteous to the monarchs of various countries when they traveled, but ...... It is just courtesy, and no country chooses to use them and their ideas to govern the country.

The three of them have relied on academics and ideology for thousands of years, and none of them relied on governing the country.

The biggest official Xunzi has ever been in history is only the Lanling County Order, so Zhao Kuo is not sure how much ability Xunzi has to govern the country.

"If Xunzi asks for an official, should I agree? Don't agree, he is Xunzi after all. Promise, what if he doesn't know how to govern the country? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no country used Confucianism to govern the country, and it was impossible for those monarchs to all have no eyes. Zhao Kuo was a little entangled in his heart.

Confucianism is indeed a prominent learning, and now the Mohists are in decline, and only Legalism can compete with Confucianism.

But after all, Confucianism has not proved its strength, although in history Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, but the Han Dynasty did not rely on Confucianism to become strong!

At this time, Xunzi had already come to the main hall under the leadership of the guards. He was about the same height as Lian Po, his arms were muscular, his robes were puffed up, his hair was a little gray, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were bright.

Before Zhao Kuo started, Xunzi pointed at Zhao Kuo and said loudly: "You are Zhao Kuo?" ”

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, how could this attitude come to ask for an official, it was clearly to spray himself!

"I'm Zhao Kuo." Zhao Kuo said.

"You want to be a thief?" Xunzi asked.

When the guards heard this, they rushed up instantly, surrounding Xunzi in the middle, Xunzi's face changed, and his eyes looked directly at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and then asked, "What is a national thief?" ”

"A thief is a thief." Xunzi said.

"Stealers? This king heard that Mencius has clouds, the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. Dare to ask sir, is this country owned by him Zhao Wangdan alone, or by the people of Zhao State? Zhao Kuo asked.

"Naturally, it belongs to the people of Zhao State." Xunzi said.

"Then go outside and ask the people if this king is a thief." Zhao Kuo stood up, walked to Xunzi, pointed to the outside of the hall and said. "If it weren't for this king, the army of Qin would have reached Handan City a long time ago. If it weren't for the fact that this king borrowed food from Han and Wei, the people of Zhao would have starved to death. Go and ask the people if this king is a thief! ”

"Defending the country is your accusation as a general, not your reason for stealing the country." Xun Zi said loudly, his momentum was more than Zhao Kuo, and the aura emanating from his body even surpassed that of most Gangyuan-level martial artists, and he was only a line away from the transcendent realm.

"Green Sword Fairy"

"Was Confucianism so terrifying during the Warring States period?" Zhao Kuo looked at Xunzi's tendons and took a few steps back silently.

"Dare to ask Xunzi, in this world, there are people who are born to be princes, standing at the highest level of the country and looking down on the common people, everyone in the world must bow to him. Some people are born to be slaves, to be driven, to be beaten and scolded, to be bullied? Zhao Kuo asked.

"No, life can be changed through hard work." Xunzi said.

"Since life is not predetermined by God. Then why can he Zhao Dan sit on the throne of this monarch, but I Zhao Kuo can't sit? Is he Zhao Dan more noble than me? Is he Zhao Dan more benevolent than me? Is he Zhao Dan more virtuous than me? Neither! He is the grandson of the Martial Spirit King, and I am also the grandson of the Martial Spirit King. He can inherit this world, and this king can inherit it. And! This king is doing better than him! Zhao Kuo said solemnly.

"Xun is retiring." Seeing that he couldn't convince Zhao Kuo, Xun Zi sighed and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait." Zhao Kuo stopped him.

Xunzi stopped and looked at Zhao Kuo.

"I wonder if Mr. is interested in becoming a teacher?" Zhao Kuo bowed and asked.

He didn't know if Xunzi would rule the country, but history proved at least one thing: he would teach his disciples.

A Confucian taught two legalists, and also taught two prime ministers.

Li Si, Han Feizi, Zhang Cang, any one of them is the existence of Zhenguo.

This is rare in history.

Li Si and Han Feizi don't need to say much, Zhang Cang's talent is no less than the previous two, he is a rare mathematician, politician, scientist, calendarist, musician in ancient China, the famous "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in the mathematical world is his collation, addition and subtraction.

Even if Xunzi doesn't know how to govern the country, just staying in Zhao State to teach, it will be a great help to the entire Zhao State.

"Would you like to use the old man?" Xunzi was a little surprised.

"This king has the whole world in his heart, and there is no need to deal with an old man." Zhao Kuo's face lifted slightly, and the morning sun sprinkled down, making his face full of radiance.

If it weren't for your name Xunzi, Lao Tzu would have ordered you to be kicked out. Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.

"The old man thinks about it again." Xunzi saluted, turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

"We must find a way to keep Xunzi, in history, he even looked down on a petty official like the Lanling County Order, Lao Tzu didn't believe that he didn't want to be an official." Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.
