50. How can a great husband live in the heavens and the earth, and he will live under the people for a long time?
Xunzi said this, what do you want to do. Do you want to try my Zhao Kuo's sword is not sharp? Zhao Kuo's tone was cold, he had experienced two bloody battles, and the murderous aura on his body made him not angry and arrogant.
Xunzi was completely unaffected, and continued: "My friend also said that he found two groups of people who were following the same man who was selling houses for the general, and it seemed that he was still a little hostile to the general. In order to keep it secret, the friend took action and secretly killed the two waves of people, leaving no hands behind. ”
Call! Hearing this, Zhao Kuo exhaled heavily, and his hand also released from the hilt of the sword.
Not far away, Li Mu, who had been secretly paying attention to this place, also let go of his hanging heart. Although he didn't know why Zhao Kuo wanted to kill Xunzi just now, if he really did that, it would be tantamount to offending most of the scholars in the world.
And he can only swear to follow Zhao Kuo to the death and fight against the whole world.
Xunzi continued: "Presumably, the general also knows that King Zhao is very jealous of the fact that the generals buy people's hearts. Why did the general still sell his house and give bereavement pensions to the families of the dead soldiers? ”
"But peace of mind." Zhao Kuo said that this is indeed his real purpose.
Xunzi was not surprised at all when he heard this answer.
He looked at Zhao Kuo seriously and continued: "I came this time, in fact, I was also entrusted by an old friend, and I want to ask the general, what your ambition is. ”
Ambition? Zhao Kuo pondered. If you say that when you just crossed over, you just wanted to escape alive and live under Bai Qi's hands.
Now, what he wants in his heart is to let his brothers go back alive, so that the people of the whole world can live with the same dignity.
"My ambition is to stop fighting." Zhao Kuo said solemnly: "I want this land to be free of war and oppression from now on." Ordinary people can eat enough by labor. Everyone can read and write, and there is a way to rise. Only those who have the ability can be officials, and those who are incapable can rely on their family background or work hard to live, but they cannot rely on their family background to oppress others. ”
Hearing this unexpected answer, Xunzi solemnly saluted Zhao Kuo and said, "The general's ambition is higher than the mountains. The general's mind is broader than this blue sky. But with all due respect, general, this is impossible. ”
"Please sir."
"Does the general know about the Mo family? His philosophies include love, non-aggression, virtue, and equality, which are similar to those of generals. Moxue is now called Xianxue along with Confucianism.
The Mohists forcibly intervened in the annexation war, helping the weak to suppress the strong. It is the weak countries that should be annexed that are helped, and the interests of those strong countries will naturally be damaged. In the long run, the Mohists will inevitably be targeted by powerful countries.
Besides, if there is no dispute in the world, and everyone restores the ideal state of peace in a small country, widows, chickens and dogs, and they do not get along with each other, what is the use of the Mo family? But if the world is unified, where is the need to attack? Wouldn't it be better?
The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time must be united. The entire land of China has been divided for a long time, and it is time to achieve unification. I don't know if the general thinks that the country can complete the final unification. ”
Zhao Kuo subconsciously said: "Qin Fen VI's Yu Lie, insisting on beating and whipping the world. ”
This sentence was originally a famous saying of the Qin theory in later generations, which tells the story of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six kingdoms on the basis of the efforts of the six Qin kings, from Qin Xiaogong to Qin Zhuang Xiangwang.
But at this time, the last two Qin kings had not yet ascended the throne, and Yingzheng did not know where to suffer.
"Six?" Xunzi was very surprised, and he muttered: "Qin Xiangong's abolition of martyrdom, moving the capital to Liyang, establishing a commercial market to compile household registration, and promoting the county system are good policies, but his father Qin Linggong has no merits. At least, his sacrifice to Yanhuang can be regarded as merit.
After many years of war, Wei, Qi, Chu, and Zhao actually had the opportunity to start a unified war, but they eventually lost to Hezhong. However, the desire for reunification is becoming more and more obvious. When I talked to my old friend, I felt that the reunification of China was a matter of the past few decades. I just don't know, who will finally finish this?
If the Qin State completes this matter, then under the harsh system oppression of the Qin State, the unification will not last long.
Although Zhao Guo has brave generals like you and Lian Po Pang Xuan, and the soldiers are invincible, they can't give the Han people enough channels to rise after all, and they can't unify the world.
The state of Chu adopted a partition system, and its power was controlled by the royal family and nobles, and the talents of foreign countries were not reused, and they were not united within themselves. Before Wu Zi took refuge, it was God who gave them a chance, but they actually killed Wu Zi and cut off the road to reunification.
Under the efforts of Li Kui and Wu Zi, the Wei State had a great opportunity to unify the Central Plains, but it is a pity that after Wei Wenhou, there is no male lord.
South Korea, Zhongshan, Lu, etc., are even more inadequate.
I belong to the Qi country, although the Qi country seems to have no intention of being aggressive after the Tian family replaced Qi, but the national strength is still strong. I want to go there and start my own business. But my old friend, for some reason, insisted that I come to the general, saying that the general might be able to give me a different answer. ”
Zhao Kuo looked at the heavy battlefields in the distance under his feet, as well as the countless military tents on the mountain, and was full of pride for a while, and replied: "If only great unification can end the suffering of the common people." Then I hope that I can use the sword in my hand to end this troubled world and return a peaceful world to all beings in the world. ”
These words shocked Xunzi incomparably.
After a long time, Xun Zi reacted and said: "This sentence, the general must not say anything to others." I swear by my reputation that I will not tell anyone! ”
"I was abrupt, thank you, sir."
"My old friend thought that the general didn't understand politics, so he did those things to buy the hearts of the military. I didn't expect the general to have the world in mind, so he would subconsciously make those moves.
Maybe the general didn't even notice it himself, but he just thought that he could feel at ease by doing so. If the general who cares about Li Min can really dominate the world, then it is not a good thing to face this land. It's just that it's too early for the general to talk about this. Will the general listen to me? ”
"Sir, please."
"Put away the edge, hide the needle in the brocade." Xunzi said sincerely.
Zhao Kuo smiled and arched his hand and said, "Be taught." ”
"If one day, the general really stands on a higher place, I hope the general can accept me and give advice to the general. If I am unable to come at that time, I hope that the general will accept my students and let them make their own contribution to ending the troubled times. ”
"Thank you, sir."
At this time, Xinchen, the capital of South Korea, the young man of the Korean clan, hated King Han very much for not being able to find and appoint talents, but instead promoting those who slapped themselves on the back. He is trying to write to King Han to change the situation.
In the official mansion of Shangcai County in the Chu State, a young official just took his young son, led a yellow dog, chased the cunning rabbit, and ran and frolicked freely and happily in the field outside the east gate of Shangcai.
After returning to the official mansion, he felt anxious, hurried into the hut, and suddenly found something passing by.
It turned out to be a black and dirty rat licking feces. Hearing the movement of the little official, the mouse squeaked and fled in a hurry.
The little official was taken aback, and was called to go to the granary to check the stock. There, the little official saw a huge fat mouse, lying in a pile of golden corn, leisurely eating food, and no one was afraid to come.
As if he had been enlightened, he found that he did not seek to be fed and warm, but to be rich and rich.
Yangwu, Henan, a white and tender child is frolicking, he is naturally sensitive to numbers, and the family is also trying to find a way to send him to study.
A Confucian scholar of Qi State, on the orders of Chun Shenjun, was waiting for Xunzi's arrival at the border.
One of Mao Sui's nephews was waiting outside the barracks, preparing to go to Qi with Xunzi.
Next to him, there was a heroic man, armed with a long sword, ready to keep his teacher safe at all times.
Not far away, a swordsman wearing a wooden sword was lying on a tree, bored biting the branches, not knowing if his friend Xunzi would let him stay.
No one has ever spotted this swordsman.
