Chapter 48: Inner Huang Lao, Outer Confucianism!
After Lin Mo and Ying Zheng entered the underground academy, they heard countless scholars debating the way of the world in fierce words.
The foresight and knowledge of these people is indeed second to none in the whole world.
This is the pre-Qin period when a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended!
Lin Mo listened to the debates of those scholars, and they were all a little fascinated by what they heard.
Ying Zheng also felt that it was extremely exciting, and couldn't help but ask Lin Mo: "Shopkeeper Lin, with your knowledge, you are on a par with these people." ”
Lin Mo said modestly: "Brother Zhao, I still have to study hard here." ”
Seeing Lin Mo so motivated, Ying Zheng secretly admired it in his heart.
After Yingzheng got along with Lin Mo during this time, he felt that Lin Mo was different from ordinary people in terms of knowledge, conduct and open-mindedness.
As long as Lin Mo enters Xianyang Palace one day, he will definitely be able to do something in the court.
Lin Mo and Ying Zheng visited the twelve palaces of the academy.
These twelve palaces represent the most representative twelve schools of thought: Legalism, Taoism, Confucianism, Bingjia, Moism, Farmer, Doctor, Doctor, Miscellaneous, Zongheng, Yin-Yang and Novelist.
Each school had a renowned gentleman who gave lectures to the scholars.
With such a systematically differentiated and mature education system, even Lin Mo was shocked.
"Brother Zhao, our lord really has mountains and seas in his heart, and such a huge education system is used by him freely."
"It seems that what I said at the beginning was some humble opinion, compared to our king, I am really ashamed of myself!"
"With such a huge education system, why worry that there are no talents in the Qin State?"
Lin Mo's words made Ying Zheng's heart bloom, he listened to Lin Mo's advice at the beginning, and founded this underground school.
But what he never expected was that Li Si would be able to hold this school so grandly, and it was highly recognized by Shopkeeper Lin.
Ying Zheng was happy in his heart, and then asked: "Shopkeeper Lin, which school do you plan to learn?" ”
Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "In my heart, there is still a heart that wants to assist the emperor!" ”
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, I know, you want to learn Legalism!" ”
"Today's monarchs believe in Shang Jun and still follow the law of Shang Jun, which naturally wins the support of the Legalist faction."
"Shopkeeper Lin, am I right?"
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Legalism can't support a country in the true sense. ”
Ying Zheng was stunned.
It turns out that Shopkeeper Lin still has different opinions?
The latter schools of scholars are all some magic, and they can't support the rise of a country compared to Legalism!
Then only Confucianism and Taoism are left, which can be regarded as the way to govern the country!
He probably wanted to learn Confucianism, right?
Ying Zheng thought of such a terrifying possibility.
You must know that Ying Zheng hated Confucian culture in his heart, and in his eyes, Confucian scholars like to talk about high and broad, but they can't bring real prosperity to a country.
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Then in your opinion, what should we learn to help the current monarch?" ”
Lin Mo smiled and said, "When you cultivate the Tao inside, you cultivate Confucianism outside." Taoism and Confucianism have the same origin, once the country is unified, the emperor wants to cultivate the Tao, and the ministers should cultivate Confucianism. ”
Ying Zheng was stunned.
What kind of advanced thinking is this?
Inner and outer Confucianism?
This has already determined the governing policy after the unification of Qin?
As the king of a country, he has not yet thought about the future path.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I still haven't understood, can you explain in more detail?"
"Now that the Qin State is in a period of war, it is necessary to practice Legalism, because it can indeed make a country strong and turn it into a war machine."
"But what about after the unification of the world? What if there is no war one day? The shortcomings of Legalism will inevitably be exposed, and the empire that dominates the world will need to change its strategy. ”
"To end the war, the people need to recuperate, and naturally choose Confucianism to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness as the priority. Confucianism was mild, acceptable to the common people, and at the same time strengthened the power of the emperor and made the people willingly respect and submit. ”
Ying Zheng gasped, and his eyes became brighter.
Lin Mo said these words, he had never thought about before.
However, Lin Mo had already thought so far!
Ying Zheng secretly thought in his heart: Shopkeeper Lin happens to be proficient in Confucianism, and if he rules the world in the future, maybe he can really govern the country according to Shopkeeper Lin's ideas.
"Then the Legalists are going to be rejected because of this? Why did the emperor want to be a cultivator? ”
"The so-called Legalism is a strict punishment and strict law, how can such a way of hurting feelings be used to govern the country? And if only Confucianism is used to govern the country, the country cannot prosper. Only the Confucianism and Confucianism can make a country truly prosperous and continue! ”
After listening to Lin Mo's words, Ying Zheng was immediately shocked.
"Brother Zhao, since we want to assist the monarch in the future, we must achieve both Confucianism and Taoism, so that we can make a difference in Xianyang Palace."
Ying Zheng's chest continued to rise and fall, and he secretly thought in his heart: It seems that he has to let go of some prejudices about Confucianism!
So, Lin Mo and Ying Zheng quietly entered the palace of Confucianism.
At this time, the master was lecturing in the front, and countless scholars below were listening with relish.
After Lin Mo and Ying Zheng came in, countless eyes looked at them.
Among the many bachelors, an acquaintance was soon seen.
This person was none other than the son who had mocked them at the same year's conference that day.
When the boy saw Yingzheng and Lin Mo, it was like seeing a ghost, and he stood up after a while.
"You ...... How did you guys get here? Are you here to trouble me? In the same year, I won't be able to go to the conference in the future, right? ”
Lin Mo smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so excited, we will be classmates in the future, and we should learn from each other regardless of our previous suspicions." ”
Ying Zheng looked at the prince and snorted: "Although I don't like Confucianism, it doesn't mean it's useless. ”
Seeing that Lin Mo and Yingzheng's attitude was quite gentle, the prince hurriedly saluted: "My son's name is Chun Yuyue. ”
Lin Mo was stunned.
This thing is actually the idiot who proposed to Qin Shi Huang to restore the feudal system?
The Master on the throne groaned and said, "All right, all right! Quiet! Take your seats, two freshmen. ”
After Ying Zheng and Lin Mo studied in the underground academy for a day, they gained a lot.
As soon as they came out of the school, Chun Yuyue hurriedly caught up with them.
"You also want to be an official in the court?"
Ying Zheng said: "Of course. Listen to your accent, you are from Qi country, right? Why did you come to Qin? ”
Chun Yu Yue Shi Li said: "Those who know the times are Junjie." Now that Qin is strong and weak, he naturally wants to come to Qin to find a way out. ”
"You were a little prescient."
"But the competition in our academy is so fierce, I'm afraid not everyone has the opportunity to enter Xianyang Palace."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Where there is a will, there is a way!" Brother Zhao and I will work together to be among the best in the academy. Brother Zhao, did you say that? ”
"That's nature. Chun Yuyue, we will be competitors in the future. As a Confucian scholar, don't lose to us beginners when the time comes. ”
Chun Yuyue arched his hand and said: "At the conference of the same year, I was already convinced. Can we work together to take care of each other in the future assessment. ”
"Let's go our own way!"
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he pulled Ying Zheng and left the underground school, leaving Chun Yuyue alone in place.
When the two got into the carriage, Ying Zheng couldn't hold back a smile: "Poof! Shopkeeper Lin, you just refused well! ”
Lin Mo pursed his lips and said, "That arrogant guy is thinking about farts and wants to help each other?" ”
Ying Zheng said: "I heard that there will be an assessment every six months, and we may help each other." ”
"We are good brothers, and it's almost the same to take care of each other."
Lin Mo's words made Ying Zheng laugh happily.
He enjoyed this feeling of being treated as a brother by Lin Mo very much!
