After Li Xin and Chen Ping left the hall, both of them had a look of happiness on their faces, both of them thought that Ying Zheng would punish them and turn the page on this matter, but they didn't expect Ying Zheng to not punish them.

Zhao was divided into three counties, Dai County, Handan County and Julu County, Chen Ping served as the county guard of Handan County, and Li Xinzhen guarded Dai County, so that the two of them governed the two counties and atoned for their sins. Although Ying Zheng said that he would atone for his crimes, in fact, it was a flat tone, completely turning over the faults on them, and the others basically remained the same.

"We're going to keep a low profile this time." Chen Ping whispered.

"Yes, you can't do it directly like you did in Yuyang County anymore." Li Xin also nodded in agreement.

In Yuyang County, they dared to directly use troops to slaughter the disobedient magnates, because the opportunity for all parties had arrived, and the rebellion of the three Ju Guo Opera families, the endangerment of the local area by the rangers, the inspection of Fusu, and the strong support of the most important Mo family allowed them to do it without any worries. Now Zhao State can't do it, Zhao State and Qin State are already feuding, if they use sword soldiers again, it will only cause hostility and disgust to the Zhao people, so they can only use Huairou as the main and sword soldiers as the supplement.

The next day, after Ying Zheng's edict was issued, Chen Ping and Li Xin took over the affairs of the big and small, and then took Wang Jian and Li Mu back to the court.

Qi country, small sage village.

Xunzi and the old patriarch surnamed Feng of the eight surnames of the ancients, Feng Lao sat opposite each other.

"The last time we sat and talked like this, it was fifty years ago in Handan, Zhao State." Feng Lao said with a smile.

"Yes, at that time, I was disgusted by the whole Confucianism, and you were just a stunned young man who had just been born." Xunzi said with a smile.

The two of them talked and laughed as if they had returned to the original high-spirited, young and frivolous era, the cherry blossoms above their heads fell, and the two couldn't help laughing when they looked at their white-haired self in the teacup.

"The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. What we didn't accomplish at the beginning, you now give it to that kid, do you think he can do it? Elder Feng asked.

"Isn't he doing a good job now? The descendants of the Protoss of the five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Zhao, Wei and Yan have all been cleaned up, and from ancient times to the present, the descendants of the Protoss may not have had such a loss, right? Xunzi said with a smile.

"Back then, I said that heaven and earth are like chessboards, countries are like flags, and we are also children of the board, and people's whole life is to break through the chess game and become the flag bearer. And you say that such an idea is like the heart of a mayfly, insignificant, and the things that real people should do to overturn the chess game set up by this world and invite friends to talk about a game. Feng Lao said.

"Those are just some young and frivolous words, the world has been in a hurry for seventy or eighty years, and all I want today is a stability. Pursuing the way of heaven and detaching from foreign objects is done by Taoist people. Xunzi said.

"But your students are taking exactly the same path you tried to take. After I was born, I sent someone to inquire about the little guy Ziyou, and found an interesting thing, when you took him to Taiyi Mountain to learn the complete "Ten Wings", outsiders said that "Ten Wings" is very capable of being cultivated. If you deceive others with these words, forget it, I handed over the original "Ten Wings" founded by Confucius to you. Feng Lao looked at Xunzi and said.

Confucianism claimed that most of the people who cultivated the Ten Wings had failed, but Feng Lao knew very well that the Confucian civil strife did cause part of the "Ten Wings" to be lost, but later Feng Lao handed over the fragments of "Ten Wings" collected by the Feng family to Xunzi, so Xunzi completed the Ten Wings, so Ziyou didn't need to go to Taoism to watch "Zhou Yi" to complete the "Ten Wings". But Xunzi still took Ziyou to Taoism, and even sold a huge favor before the Taoist agreed to let Ziyou enter the Taoist Scripture Pavilion.

If Xunzi had no other plans, he wouldn't need to send Ziyou to Taiyi Mountain at such a big price to learn something he had.

"Looks like you've found out, it's very simple. The things in the East China Sea are about to be overwhelmed, but at this time, the chaos in the world is coming to an end, and I know that those people who are descendants of the Protoss will not let the chaos end easily. ," Xunzi continued as he lifted the teapot and poured himself tea

"Ziyou thinks it's a good thing for me to let my disciples let them touch the things they like, because he has met a lot of people, and they all have a common problem, people in their father's generation always like to hand over their unfinished things to their children, forcing him to complete what he hasn't done."

"So you began to calculate him, let him step by step into his own layout, it can be said that everything from the time he left the Little Sage Village to the present has been calculated by you." Feng Lao raised his eyebrows and said.

"I don't have that much ability, I can't arrange this kind of shocking plan, except for Ziyou, no one in this world can arrange it. What I did was to keep planting a belief in his heart that the world should be unified. Xunzi said, "Ziyou, this child, I know that no one can stop what he has decided to do, and he will not let anyone destroy the world he has created." ”

"In the end, you still walked this path, but what do you mean by running out of time in the East China Sea?" Feng Lao looked in the direction of the East China Sea.

"There is not much time for Zhenhai to roar, and the Three Immortal Islands on the sea are about to be revealed." Xunzi said.

Although Ziyou sealed several connections between heaven and earth, the largest connection composed of the three immortal islands of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou on the sea was not sealed because it was overseas.

"So this Terran catastrophe is inevitable. I thought that my research over the years would be useless, but now it seems that my decades of research have not been in vain. Feng Lao took out a small flag from his arms and said.

Xunzi looked at this small flag, and said with a hint of surprise in his eyes

"This is the flag used by Lu Shang to seal the gods under Qishan back then."

"That's right, back then, you said that if you want to overturn this chess game, you can only let outsiders come, and you have found outsiders. But you don't have a clue how to turn the game upside down, but I've come up with a solution. The reason why the divine realm is plotting against the human race is that what it wants is the power of faith of the human race, and the war of the gods successfully split the divine realm, but it also made the divine realm above the human world. I found a way from the battle of the gods, the emperor of the people divided the gods of the world, created their own gods with the belief of the human race, and snatched the power of the rules of the world from the hands of the gods with gods against gods. Elder Feng said, putting the small flag on the table.

"It's a risky approach, but there's a certain opportunity." Xunzi said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Originally, I should have come to you earlier, but when I was in Chu State, I encountered a little accident. The old thing in Antarctica is still alive too. Feng Lao said.

"Antarctica? You didn't leave him? Xunzi asked.

"Nope." A smile suddenly appeared on Feng Lao's face and said, "But I snatched the Fantian Seal from his hand. ”

Saying that, Feng Lao took out a square seal from his cuffs, and looked at this square seal Xunzi also laughed, Fantian Seal is the treasure of Antarctica, and it is also the only offensive means in the hands of Antarctica, and losing Fantian Yin Antarctica is completely wasted.

Just when Feng Lao and Xunzi were talking about the feasibility of sealing the gods, the bell in the Little Sage Village rang again, and it rang six times in total.

"It looks like a distinguished guest has arrived." Feng Lao said.

The bell in the small sage village is also ringed in accordance with the specifications of the Zhou Li dance, the eight sons of heaven, the six princes, the four doctors, and the second scholars.

"It seems that the conversation between us can only end here, you can go to Ziyou to discuss this matter, he should have other ideas." Xunzi said with a smile.

Feng Lao smiled and nodded, and then the two of them went down the mountain.

After Xunzi went down the mountain, Yan Lu came head-on.

"Uncle Shi!" Yan Lu saluted and said.

"Who's coming?" Xunzi asked.

"It's King Qi who has come to Little Sage Village, and now Senior Brother is receiving King Qi, King Qi said that he wants to meet you, and that he wants to ask you something important." Yan Lu said.

"King Qi? I was waiting for him in the back mountain bamboo forest. Xunzi said lightly.

"Yes." Yan Lu said.

Xunzi returned to his bamboo house, instructed the boy to brew the tea, and then quietly waited for Qi Wangtian to come to the door.

Soon the footsteps outside the bamboo house sounded, and Tian Jian's voice also sounded.

"You all step down, and the next thing is to talk to Master Xun and the others."

"No!"

Qi Wangjian looked at the retreating crowd and tidied up their clothes, then walked towards Xunzi's bamboo house, and saluted after seeing Xunzi and said

"I've seen Master Xun."

Xunzi got up and saluted in return and said

"I've seen King Qi, King Qi, please take a seat!"

After Qi Wangjian took a seat, Xun Fuzi personally poured tea for him, Qi Wangjian looked at the tea and was a little stunned, his eyes were full of tangled looks.

"If the King of Qi has any questions, just say it directly, the king of Qi treated me with courtesy, and let me serve as the sacrificial wine of the school palace for the third term, if the king of Qi has any questions, you can say it directly, as long as I can help the king of Qi answer questions, I will know everything." Xunzi said.

"Since Master Xun said so, I won't hide it. The imperial doctor in the palace told the widow that the queen mother's body could not last for a year. I am not afraid of you laughing at the widow, the current stability of the Qi country depends on the maintenance of the queen mother, and I am just a useless person who occupies a false name, and now the queen mother's health is getting worse and worse, and the widow is more and more worried about the affairs of the Qi country. The widow also asked the queen mother, but the queen mother said to let the widow ask herself.

But the widow can't decide, so I'm here to ask you. Qi Wangjian said.

"King Qi, please speak." Xunzi said.

"The widow wants to ask the master, can the Qi Kingdom survive in this world?" Qi Wangjian asked.

Xunzi looked at Qi Wangjian and shook his head and said

"At the beginning of the Qi State to destroy Lu, Lu Jun surrendered many times to ask for peace, only to keep a city to worship the ancestors, but the Qi State did not allow it. The current situation is as good as Qi was to Lu. ”

Qi Wangjian also wanted to talk about the covenant between Qin and Qi, but this kind of covenant was torn up in the past hundred years, and he himself couldn't remember how many times.

"If the Qi State retrains its armaments now and unites the Chu State, can the Qi State be preserved?" Qi Wangjian asked again.

"If the Qi State is training weapons now, how many years does the king think it will take to train a veteran soldier of a hundred battles like the soldiers of the Qin State? Or does the king think that the current Qi State is preparing for military equipment again, which can be compared to the current Qin State's military equipment? Xunzi asked rhetorically.

Qi Wangjian was silent again, when the Qin State destroyed Han Zhao Weiyan, the Qi State was a bystander, so it was clear how powerful the Qin State's armament was, even if the Qi State was given another ten years, it might not be able to compare to the Qin State. As for uniting the Chu State, the current Chu State itself is difficult to protect, if the Qi State unites the Chu State now, it just gives the Qin State a reason to attack the Qi State, and Qi Wangjian is even more silent after calming down.

"If it was the Qi State supported by Confucianism, could the Qi State be preserved?" Qi Wangjian didn't know why he suddenly asked this question.

Xunzi was silent for a while, as if he was really stopped by Qi Wangjian's question, and said in Qi Wangjian's expectant gaze

"This question is unknown, no one knows the answer, if it was the original Qi State, Confucianism supported the Qi State, it would inevitably let the Qi State maintain its armament, and the restoration of the Qi State would inevitably cause hostility from other countries, and the Qin State would not watch the Qi State become strong again, so Confucianism would not support the Qi State. Confucianism is not something I can control alone.

The strength of the Qin State is not an overnight thing, the aftermath of the sixth Fen Dynasty, the six generations of Ming Jun This is not something that any country can sit on, and what is more precious is that the Qin State has gone up to the clan magnates, down to the peddlers and pawns, and everyone has only one goal, to go east and dominate the world. The state of Qin turned Qin's domination of the world into the greatest wish of all the people in the entire country, even if the king of Qin forgot to go east, he would be assimilated by all the people around him who had the ambition to go east, which is the great thing about the state of Qin. ”

Qi Wangjian's eyes darkened, and in the end, the unrealistic thoughts in Qi Wangjian's heart disappeared, leaving only the last question.

"Master, I have one last question." Qi Wangjian took a sip of tea and said

"Please."

"If the Qin army is attacked, then what should the widow do?" Qi Wangjian asked.

"I can't make a decision on this matter, the king of Qi is the king of Qi, and his words and deeds represent the country of Qi, and they also determine the fate of the country of Qi. I can't help the king decide this matter, the only thing I can say is that I hope the king will take a good look at the country of Qi, look at the people and land of the country of Qi, and naturally make a decision in his heart. ”

After Xunzi finished speaking, he filled the teacup in front of Qi Wangjian with water, and sent the guests off with full tea.

"Thank you, Master." Qi Wangjian stood up and said.

"I didn't help the king solve his doubts, so I can't talk about thanks." Xunzi dodged Qi Wangjian's salute and said.

Qi Wangjian left the bamboo house, stayed in the bamboo house and let Fu Nian and the others stay, and then took his own people down the mountain. Yan Lu and Fu Nian glanced at each other, and then walked towards the bamboo house.

"Uncle Shi." The two saluted.

"Well, here you are." Xunzi nodded, but didn't let the two sit down.

"What question did King Qi ask?" Fu Nian asked directly.

"Some innocuous questions. Are you two idle? Now that none of the people in charge of Confucianism have children, and you, Yan Lu, and Ziyou have no heirs to inherit the mantle, it is time to talk about marriage for the two of you. Xunzi looked at the two and said.

Hearing that Xunzi was going to give the two of them a blind date, Fu Nian said directly

"There are still some chores in the Little Sage Village, which I want to deal with, so I will leave first."

After saying that, Fu Nian left without any hesitation, Yan Lu looked at Xunzi and said

"Lang Yu said that some disciples don't pay attention to the class, I'll take a look."

After saying that, Yan Lu also ran away, Xunzi looked at the two people who fled in the desert and smiled helplessly.
