Xun Zi's sharp gaze shifted from the chessboard to Zhang Ji's body: "So you want me to help Qin?" But even if the Qin State has achieved the unification of the world, can the Qin State really govern the world well? ”

"It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to defend the world." Xunzi glanced at Zhang Ji deeply, "What you have to face is far more than the problems of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. ”

"Moreover, there is no reason for you to go in a direction, you need to overcome obstacles and carve out a path with your own hands that no one has ever walked before."

Zhang Ji was slightly stunned.

It can only be said that Xunzi, who is respected as a "post-saint" by later generations, has a vicious eye.

This is the case of the Qin State in history, although the world has been unified, but the Qin State has indeed not been governed well.

After the unification of Great Qin, even in the early stage, it only relied on the personal charm of Yingzheng and the deterrence of the first emperor through the ages to deter the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

The remnants of the Six Kingdoms living in the Qin State have never given up the idea of recovering the country, and because the officials who govern the hometown of the Six Kingdoms are basically the officials of the Six Kingdoms in the past, so when Yingzheng died and Hu Hai took the throne for several years, the Qin State suddenly became in chaos.

Moreover, the Qin law at that time was only suitable for the war-torn Qin State, not for the Qin State after the unification of the world.

But even if the Qin law is applicable to governing the world, the people are illiterate and can't understand the Qin law at all, and it is all the three elders and officials left over from the Six Kingdoms who explain the legal provisions to the people.

The three elders and officials said that the Qin law was harsh and tyrannical, and the Qin law was harsh and tyrannical, and the ordinary people did not know it at all.

Just like the mighty Daze Township Uprising, a sentence of "if you miss the deadline, you should be killed" pulled out 900 rebel troops, but in fact, according to the Qin law, the conscription is three to five days late, and if there is heavy rain blocking the road, it is only verbal criticism and education; If you are late for six to ten days, you will be fined one shield; Those who are late for more than 10 days are only fined a pair of armor, and there is no such thing as "missing the deadline and being beheaded".

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the Qin State needs Confucianism even more!

The Qin State needed Confucian classics and teachers to train officials who were sufficient to govern the local areas for the Qin State, replacing the officials of the Six Kingdoms to govern the world, otherwise no matter how complete the Qin law was, it would still be interpreted as a harsh law.

Immediately, Zhang Ji also looked at Xunzi with a firm gaze: "It's man-made!" ”

Xunzi didn't speak, he was silent, and looked at Zhang Ji, as if he wanted to see a little weakness in the firmness in his eyes.

But Zhang Ji faced Xunzi's gaze without the slightest evasion.

And this pure and firm gaze made Xunzi's heart ripple, and his brows quietly frowned.

Since the defeat of the battle for sexuality, he has rarely frowned, but today he frowned again, and his already gray eyebrows were frowned again, and his state of mind as calm as stopping water was already turbulent.

He looked at the young man in his early twenties in front of him, at such an age, even his youngest disciple Zhang Cang was a few years older than him, but it was such a young man, who thought of something that countless sages in ancient and modern times could not think of, and wanted to do something that no one had ever done before.

And this will make a great deed, and it will also make a great empire.

If it is done, then the word Zhang Ji will last forever.

If it doesn't work, Zhang Ji will also become a forerunner in the eyes of countless latecomers, illuminating this truth that has opened up a little, and handing the sickle and hoe to the latecomers.

After a long time, Xunzi's eyes condensed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What can Confucianism get?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled.

"In troubled times, use heavy rituals, and educate in prosperous times."

"The world in the future will be the world of law, but it is inseparable from the education of Confucianism."

"Confucianism is the skin, the law is the bone, the hundred schools are the tendons, and the world can live!"

Xun Zi bowed his head, and he understood what Zhang Ji meant.

Confucianism will be reused, and in the future, although the world will still be ruled by law in its bones, it will be the world of Confucianism on the surface. Perfect laws are used to warn the people about the consequences of violating the law, and then supplemented by etiquette laws to teach the people.

The other hundred schools of thought, and the rest of the hundred schools of thought will become the auxiliary way of the country's stability and development, such as the Mohist, the farmer, the doctor, the Fang Technician, the Yin-Yang family and other more practical academic schools, will also be reused in that world.

However, although it is the backbone of Confucianism, Confucianism, which has cultivated countless good talents to govern the region, is actually the biggest beneficiary.

Since Confucianism is the biggest beneficiary, then Confucianism has a reason to help the Qin state.

And in the final analysis, one of the core tenets of Confucianism is the word "education", which is also the ultimate dream of every Confucian.

It seems that the Qin State can give Confucianism such an opportunity, then Confucianism will also seize this opportunity.

"I can take the position of Zanguan." Xunzi took a deep breath and made a decision, "But how to cooperate with the Qin State still needs to be discussed by the Qin State and Confucianism." ”

He believed that the Confucian factions would not reject such a "profiteering" proposal for cooperation.

Of course, Zhang Ji didn't say all the thoughts in his heart.

Although Confucianism was an indispensable part of Ying Zheng and his vision, the Qin state did not want to support a Confucianism that could replace the hundred schools.

In other words, the Qin State would not support any powerful school, nor would it support any school to replace the Hundred Schools.

In the future, the Qin State will still want a hundred schools of thought to contend.

……

After leaving Xunzi's guest residence, Zhang Ji went around and came to an equally exquisite and quiet mansion.

There were also no guards, but this time there was no need for Zhang Ji to push the door himself, and the heavy door seemed to open automatically under the control of an invisible force.

Zhang Ji smiled slightly, it seemed that the people in the house already knew about his arrival.

In the house, the breath that had permeated the scarlet smoke on his face suddenly converged, and he slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

Sensing that Scarlet Smoke had stopped her meditation, the woman sitting across from her slowly opened her eyes.

"Senior sister seems to have something happy about?"

The voice of the person who spoke was cold, his long light purple hair was coiled up by several crystal hairpins, and he was wearing a long ice blue dress with violet stripes at the corners, giving people a sense of nobility and elegance.

It's just that the face is cold, giving people a sense of coldness, and the eyes are covered by a light blue veil, which makes it more mysterious and noble, which makes people daunted.

She is the genius of the Yin and Yang family, second only to Dongjun Scarlet Smoke, the Moon God, and also the younger sister of Scarlet Smoke.

Although the two are both disciples of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they are also fierce rivals.

It's just that since the last time Scarlet Yan came back from the Mo family's ceremony, Scarlet Smoke, who has always been cold and arrogant, has often smiled, changing his cold image from the past.

It seems that it is precisely because Scarlet Yan's mind can't settle down, and his cultivation has become more and more unsmooth, which is undoubtedly a surprise for the moon god as a fierce rival.

Therefore, the moon god, who is happy because of this, is more and more successful in his cultivation because of this joy. The moon god who turned over was naturally more proud, and it was inevitable that he would make mockery when Scarlet Smoke smiled.

On weekdays, Scarlet Smoke would always go back, but today, Scarlet Smoke didn't do this, but stared out the door.
