The First Emperor said quietly:

"If I have Xun Zifu Zuo, I can do this too."

Seeing Xun Qing for the first time, the First Emperor knew what his brother's solution was. The Qin State lacks people to govern, and Xun Qing's thousands of disciples are scattered all over the world, which is enough to replace the vacancies of the three worlds.

[Li Mu, Han Fei, Lian Po, now even Xunzi is used for him.] What kind of witchcraft did this shaft use, and recruited many talents that I couldn't recruit, where did I go? ]

The first emperor who sits in the world is a little unhappy, and there is a little jealousy that has not appeared in his heart since he became the king, and he is surprised that his brother can attract many talents that he can't recruit.

"Really?"

The old man asked rhetorically, his eyes were like a deep pool where no eyes could see the bottom, all the way to the deepest part of the First Emperor's heart.

The old man clenched his fist and struck his left chest.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to rush back to Qingqing, please ask your heart before you speak."

The First Emperor was silent, calm, and calm.

[If Xun Zifu Zuo I, will I remove the name of the three major families?] ]

It didn't take much time for the First Emperor to know the answer, he wouldn't.

The three great families had meritorious service to the Qin State, and their behavior was not at fault in the eyes of the First Emperor. Today, the three great families have passed away, and his younger brother has told them the way to die for the three great families, and the first emperor still thinks that the three great families are not at fault.

What is the point of dying hundreds or thousands of concubines? What is the point of coercing and luring civilians as lowly status? Is it the fault of sending a large number of trained concubines to the Guanzhong tower every year? It should be a credit!

The building is an official institution, and all the profits are owned by the government and filled into the treasury, and the first emperor really doesn't understand what is wrong with the three major families.

If there is anything wrong, it is his own brother who believes that he is wrong.

If there is no Ying Cheng, even if there is Xun Qing Fuzuo, he can replace the three major families safely, and the first emperor will not do this.

Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, killing the heroes for no reason, the first emperor could not do such a thing.

Xun Qing watched the change in the expression of the First Emperor, and although he guessed eight or nine to the First Emperor, he still asked:

"Your Majesty killed?"

Don't take speculation as the truth, this is what his lord said casually, Xun Qing thinks this is extremely right.

"Don't kill."

"This is the difference between the king and your majesty."

“…… I see, I seem to understand a little, why did you all choose that shaft instead of me, it seems that Xunzi will not enter the Qin Hall. ”

The First Emperor smiled.

"Can you gossip with Xunzi? Solve some small puzzles. In the days after the shaft left, I was really a little depressed. ”

Xun Qing nodded and said:

"One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts. Your Majesty has been backlogged for a long time, and it is like a bowstring that has been stretched to the fullest, and there is a risk of breaking. I don't know what Your Majesty wants to ask, is it "Persuasion"? ”

The First Emperor waved his hand and said:

"I only know how to learn when I ask myself, but the article "Persuasion" is still understandable, and there is nothing incomprehensible. What I want to ask is that Mr. considers himself a Confucian, but he is not tolerated by Confucianism, and his ideological teaching is also severely punished and reprimanded. The most outstanding second disciples, Han Fei and Li Si, are both Dafa, what is the explanation for this? ”

Xunzi Road:

"The inferior Li Si is utilitarian, and Confucianism is a means to it. His Majesty likes Confucianism, he is Confucian, and His Majesty likes Confucianism, and he is Confucian. This utilitarian heart sold to the emperor's family is the Legalist mentality, not that Qing taught him to be a Legalist, but that he himself chose a Legalist. ”

was dressed uprightly, and when he thought of the next proud disciple Han Fei he was going to say, he couldn't help but smile.

As for Han Fei, Qing originally thought that he was a genius of the Legalist family, and he was born to do this. However, it wasn't until that night that he heard that Jun Shang and Han Fei discussing it, that Qing Fang understood that Han Fei was not a genius of the Legalists, and Han Fei had no choice. South Korea's style of art is flourishing, morality is corrupt, and people's hearts are evil, and only heavy torture can control it. In order to save South Korea, Han Fei could only join the Legalists. ”

The First Emperor didn't know if he understood or not, so he looked thoughtful, and quickly continued to ask:

"At the beginning of Mencius's words, his nature was good, and I thought it was ridiculous. At the beginning of Xunzi's words, his nature was evil, and I thought it was extreme. Han Fei and Li Si both once said to me that Xunzi advocated suppressing people's evil thoughts with punishment. ”

Shake the book that Xunzi had just handed to him in his hand.

Xunzi praised everyone in the Qin State in the book, and praised the Qin State more than enough, and it can be seen that Xunzi recognizes the Qin State very much. However, the Qin State ruled the country by law, so that there was such a great atmosphere. No matter how I look at it, Xunzi should be a Legalist. ”

The First Emperor said so many things, discussing whether Xun Qing was a Confucian or a Dafa, and the purpose was to recruit Xunzi.

The First Emperor already admired Xunzi's apprentices Li Si and Han Fei very much. Seeing Xunzi with a filter, and then through a remark with Xunzi, the First Emperor really didn't want to let go of this talent.

There is no other country that values Legalism as much as Qin. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no emperor who loved talent as much as the First Emperor.

Xunzi knew what he meant, and sighed.

[Qing is different from His Majesty's Dao, why is it a scheme......]

The first emperor thought that Xunzi's attitude was loose, and hit the railway while it was hot:

"Why did Xunzi sigh, but I thought that I was just paying lip service to Huang Xie, but in fact I was only willing to give Lanling a county? As long as Xunzi enters the government today, I can restart Zhou Zhitaishi to reward Xunzi! ”

Xunzi's face immediately became serious.

"Merit should be rewarded, this is the heart of the Legalist, the law is what the law does, not what Confucianism wants, what Qing does. His Majesty ruled the country by law, invited talents to Qin with merit and profit, and implemented the recruitment order of Qin Xiaogong to this day. You can win the world, but you can't settle the world. ”

The First Emperor retorted:

"Chun Yuyue, who had studied under Xunzi, was bent on seeking high officials in order to realize the Confucian concept ......"

Xunzi didn't wait for the First Emperor to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted his words:

"It's not Confucianism, it's pseudo-Confucianism!"

The First Emperor was not angry, and immediately said:

King Zhao of Chu invited Confucius and promised to give Confucius a heavy reward, and he would give Confucius 700 li of land and the corresponding population, and Confucius immediately took his disciples to the state of Chu. On the way to the state of Chen, the state of Cai trapped Confucius in the wilderness, Confucius sent Zilu to the state of Chu for help, and finally the king of Chu Zhao rescued him to the state of Chu. But when King Zhao of Chu repented of not reusing Confucius, Confucius abandoned Chu. Such behavior is contrary to what Xunzi said about Confucianism, and Xunzi will never say that Confucius is not a Confucian person. ”

The words of the First Emperor contain most of his views on Confucianism.

He agrees with Confucian benevolence, which can make Chun Yuyue the eldest son's teacher, and teach the eldest son to know that only harshness is not enough to be an emperor.

But it will not let Confucian scholars become high officials. Because of his view of the classics, Confucius could not do the theories he proposed. Saying that he is unrighteous and rich and expensive is like a floating cloud to me. But when the barbarian Chu State threw an olive branch full of fame and fortune to it, he did not hesitate to go immediately. How can such a doctrine, which even the founders could not do, govern the country?

The First Emperor thought that this question would make Xunzi feel ashamed, or if he asked Xunzi, at least it would make Xunzi speechless for a short time.

However, as soon as his words fell, Xunzi immediately said:

"Confucius is a Confucian, but his behavior is not Confucianism, Confucius is wrong."

“……”

The First Emperor didn't know what to say.

He didn't expect that Xunzi, who claimed to be a Confucian, the successor of Confucius's thought, could even deny Confucius.

Qing Yu wrote in "Persuasion": Crab six kneels and two chels, but in fact, crab eight kneels and two chela. There is an end to life, and there is no end to learning. The more you learn, the more you realize that you are small, and the words of the saints may be heresies after a thousand years. Qing can make mistakes, Confucius can also make mistakes, and all the classics today can be wrong. Unrighteous behavior, wrong reason, is not Confucianism. ”

The First Emperor's eyes widened, pointed at Xunzi, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, funny, funny, really funny. I have to see Xunzi today, and I know what the best teacher is. I know today that the Confucianism that the Zhuzi said is the Confucianism of Xunzi, not the Confucianism of Confucius! Dare to ask Xunzi, why does Confucianism govern the country? ”

If Ying Chengcheng walked for ten days and a half a month late, he could see today's scene, and he would definitely not leave.

He didn't expect that he couldn't convince him with all his efforts, he was more stubborn than a cow, and his brother, who was dedicated to promoting the Legalist family, would take the initiative to ask Xunzi how to govern with Confucianism.

"Solemnity and re-honor."

Xunzi first pronounced out four words repeatedly, and then said softly:

"Man is born with desires, lustful eyes, good ears, good mouths, and good hearts. There must be contention, and at the beginning of man, nature is evil. The state and the people are the country, and the government is to teach the people and govern the people. Etiquette and righteousness are used to transform them, the law is corrected to govern them, and heavy punishments are forbidden. ”

The First Emperor chewed on what Xunzi said, and said for a long time:

"It is Confucianism to educate the people with etiquette and righteousness and to transform the bad human nature that was born bad. It is the law to subdue the disobedient with punishment and decree. This is the first time I have heard that as the sworn enemy of Confucianism, the two French families need to govern the country together. ”

The old man was immediately displeased, and emphasized:

"This is not the law, this is only Confucianism!"

Not to be outdone, the First Emperor said:

"Except for Xunzi's mouth, I haven't seen anything similar in Confucianism."

The old man was about to roll up his sleeves all the way to his waist, and the action was so big that he almost shook off the blue scarf on his head.

The old man hurriedly held on, and continued to roll up his sleeves after helping, and said with two muscular forearms:

"I ask you, the words and deeds recorded by Confucius in the Analects: the Tao is governed by government, and the people are free and shameless. The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. What do these two sentences mean? ”

The First Emperor looked at the disrespectful title of His Majesty, he was furious, and the corners of the old man's mouth twitched when he rolled up his sleeves as if he was about to fight, this image was really far from the previous master.

[The one who is close to the ink is black, it must be the influence of the shaft, this shaft really deserves to be beaten!] ]

Scolding his brother in his heart, the first emperor who loves talent answers questions honestly.

It is said that there are limits to relying on punishment alone, and people will only find ways to escape punishment, but they will not have a sense of shame. Use morality and etiquette to educate the people, and they will be ashamed and self-disciplined. ”

Syllable~

The old man immediately slapped the table.

"What Confucius said and what I said have the same meaning?"

The First Emperor nodded helplessly, admitting that he had read little.

The First Emperor of the Analects naturally read it, but the First Emperor, who never thought that Confucianism could govern the country, naturally did not pay too much attention to the Confucian classics.

Everyone has a subject that they love to learn, and the First Emperor likes to study the law, like "Han Feizi", and "Shang Junshu". Every article in "Han Feizi" was memorized by the First Emperor, and all the theories of the "Book of Shang Jun" were put into practice.

The old man's voice was a little quieter, and his voice was a little quieter than before, but it was still louder than it was at the beginning.

"Let me ask you again, "Mencius" also says: Good is not enough for government, and law is not enough for itself. What does this phrase mean? ”

The First Emperor smiled bitterly and said:

"I already know that I was negligent, and the Confucian classics did say this, so Xunzi doesn't need to give an example. Xunzi also said that Confucius was not a Confucian, and in previous years, he also said that Mencius was a pseudo-Confucian. Today, Confucius and Mencius are used as examples to prove Confucianism, but don't you feel inconsistent? ”

The old man lowered his sleeves and said slowly:

"Confucianism is the correct theory, the right one is Confucian, and the wrong one is pseudo-Confucian."

The First Emperor held back for a while, even if he appreciated Xunzi's talent in his heart, he couldn't help it.

"Xunzi, does anyone say that you are shameless."

Xunzi took out the book of the First Emperor, flipped through it a few times and handed it over, pointing to the line of words on it.

The First Emperor looked fixedly.

[Yingzi said: Science is an absolutely correct discipline. Whatever is correct is science, and whatever is incorrect is pseudoscience. Scientific knowledge that was supposed to be correct has been discovered over time to be incorrect. Then this knowledge is not scientific knowledge, but pseudo-scientific knowledge. 】

[Qing said: The world has not heard scientific doctrines, please replace them with Confucianism.] 】

[Yingzi said: It's good if you're happy. 】

[Qing said: Good. 】

The First Emperor originally wanted to go back and carefully study the book with Xunzi's handwriting, which recorded Yingcheng's words and deeds.

The most teacher Xunzi did not dare to call himself Xunzi in the book, but called others sons. Isn't it all a book that can be a classic for the world?

And now, the idea of the first emperor to bring it back to see is still there, but not to study it carefully, but to read it when those who pass the time.

The First Emperor pointed to the books and asked the old man with a breezy and unashamed face in an extremely skeptical tone.

"What did Xunzi remember? This kind of rogue remark should also be carefully remembered? This kind of shaft is also worthy of being called a sub? It's too hasty to use it here, right? Xunzi is the guest of the vertical door, is it not a shame to give a gift? ”

The old man looked at the body of the First Emperor wrapped in his crown robe, and measured the difference in strength between the enemy and himself.

Thinking that the king had said that his brother's martial arts were commonplace, he would be able to match Qin General Meng Tian.

The old man, who was proficient in the six arts, but was already old, abandoned the Confucian tradition of using martial arts to argue right and wrong.

"Your Majesty saw that Qing did not enter Qin as an official, so he did not treat him with courtesy. Whether Your Majesty has forgotten or not, it doesn't matter whether you enter the Qin Hall or not. What the Qin State needs is an official who goes deep into the people for the government, not a high-ranking prince. ”

Seeing this, the First Emperor asked rhetorically:

"If I don't treat Xunzi with courtesy, Xunzi won't summon disciples to Qinhu? Is this Confucianism? ”

Xunzi stared at the First Emperor for a long time, and the two refused to give in to each other.

After a while, Xunzi firmly spit out the words.

"No matter what Your Majesty does, Qing should summon his disciples to Qin, this is Confucianism!"

The First Emperor grinned and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahahaha, Yingzi is not worthy of being Yingzi, Xunzi is worthy of Xunzi."

The old man got out of his seat and bowed deeply to the First Emperor, who was kneeling and laughing on one side of the table.

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. If you have no people, you are not a king, and if you have no people, you will not be a country. Please ask Your Majesty to take the people of the world as the son and abolish the subordinate concubines! ”

The First Emperor smiled and shook his head:

"If I have not said anything about this before, I may answer you. However, I have made a promise with the shaft myself, so I cannot answer you. I can be wrong, but I can't change my promise. ”

The old man's face was full of concern, and the first emperor got off his seat, helped the old man, and said beside the old man:

"Xunzi won't just because I don't want you to do this, so I won't summon a disciple to Qin?"

"This is not what Confucianism does."

"Xunzi is noble, I look at the way of Xunzi, and the vertical is the same. Although I can't cancel the subordinate concubines of Xunzi, but as the zhuzi said, ban the building and add the theory of obscenity to Qin Law, so good? ”

"Great goodness."

"If Xunzi has time, he can go to the palace to teach me. I don't listen to the Confucianism of Confucius, but I can listen to the Confucianism of Xunzi. ”

"The theory of the king is not much different from the theory of the king. Your Majesty can't listen to the words of the king, and you can't listen to the words of the king. ”

"Teaching and solving doubts, that erection is far from Xunzi."

The first emperor lived in the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion until the willow tops on the moon, and then he returned to the palace by car.

That night, all the pigeons raised in Xianyang Palace were released.

Fortunately, it was night, and it was already dark, so the pigeons were not very noticeable. If it is a blue sky and a white day, the sky will inevitably be covered by a large chunk.

This large group of pigeons with paper tied to their feet flapped their wings with a loud sound, and the sound of fluttering edges woke up countless nobles who had fallen into their dreams.

They take advantage of the darkness of night to fly in all directions, all over the world.
