Even if Xunzi put a layer of obedient skin on the rebellious Confucianism, so that Confucianism could compete with the Legalists for the status of "monarch teacher". But that doesn't change the rebellion in their bones.

At least for now.

Therefore, not only will they not oppose Zhu Xiang, but they will also spread Zhu Xiang's thoughts.

Even if Queen Qin will not be deposed because of unkindness in the end, they must tell the world that the real reason why Queen Qin was deposed is unkindness! No amount of cover-up will change this fact!

Zhu Xiang only figured out this later, knowing that he had prejudices against the current Confucianism of later generations.

……

There was nothing in the court at one time. Soon, the debate in the court spread to the Xianyang School Palace, and then it was brought to the county school palaces by the Confucian scholars who deliberately spread the news.

When the county schools of the Qin State were discussing this matter, the other scholars of the Six Kingdoms naturally also knew about it.

They didn't expect that Changping Jun appeared in the court of Qin for the first time, and he actually brought a bunch of human and material evidence, and did not quarrel with others, but just laid out the evidence, which was more rigorous than the magistrate's judgment.

Didn't the ministers and doctors in the court rely on two mouths to discuss politics? Changping-kun: This is too peculiar.

Lay out the facts and be reasonable. Zhu Xiang gave them a little shock of the truth-seekers of later generations.

When Wei Wuji heard this on the frontier, he laughed and drank a jar of good wine;

When Zhao Bao was sober for a short time, he hurriedly sent envoys to send the evidence that Zhu Xiang should need to the Qin State, and then continued to be confused;

Chun Shenjun, who was overwhelmed by internal and external troubles, was discussing with Xiong Qi, who had become the prince of Chu. When he heard about this, a rare smile appeared on his face.

There are also many people who Zhu Xiang knows, and they all smile at this matter.

And Zhao Ji, the queen of Qin, the center of this matter, died quietly in the harem, which is said to be over-frightened.

After the queen of Qin died in terror, the prince of Qin, Chu, deprived the queen of Qin's title, demoted her to a concubine on the grounds of misconduct, and issued an edict that future descendants should not change their own edicts.

But at this time, not many people care about her ending. The debate on "benevolence" and "filial piety" in Zhu Xiang's court was still fermenting, and scholars from all over the world joined the debate.

At this time, some people turned out the Confucian saying that "the king is not merciful and the minister is not loyal", and regarded Confucianism as a potential thief. Many kings did not like Confucianism and began to expel Confucianism.

There were many similar remarks in the Qin state.

Ying Xiaozheng's eyelids jumped, and he had a sense of déjà vu.

Zhu Xiang slapped his head, and it was a big fuss!

He knew that this matter would make a big fuss, but he didn't expect it to be this big trouble. He has nothing to do with himself, how can he involve Xunzi and Confucianism!

Zhu Xiang hurriedly apologized to Xunzi, and Xunzi said slowly: "It's okay, I've long been used to it." ”

Zhu Xiang: "......"

Xunzi pointed to his shoulder, and Zhu Xiang helped Xunzi press his shoulder.

"After this incident, the woman's knighthood is decided." Xunzi said, "The female knighthood is in accordance with the "Zhou Li", which is divided into five categories: Mrs. of the country, Mrs. County, Mrs. of the county, Mrs. and Mrs. ”

"The Book of Rites" says: "The concubine of the Son of Heaven is called the queen, the princes are called ladies, the doctors are called widows, the scholars are called women, and the concubines are called wives." ”

Mrs. Guo, Mrs. County, and County Lady, that is, the name of the country and the name of the county are added before the lady and the child, as a special honor. The latter is a reward based on the status of the husband's family, and the prefix requires the woman to have outstanding character and merit and be rewarded by the king.

And the first three rewards will also have additional rewards.

The female knighthood formulated by Xunzi is very simple, far worse than the twentieth rank of men today. But it was this humble woman who was knighted and made Xunzi quarrel with others for several years. Only now is it through Zhu Xiang's complaint that Qin was unkind after the abolition, and when the people of the world focused on the conduct of women, they were able to promulgate successfully.

Zhu Xiang didn't know what to say.

He vowed to promote some deviant ideas, but it was Xunzi who was tired.

This time too. He was prepared to argue with others, and as a result, the Confucian took the initiative to withstand the firepower, even if he was expelled by the monarch, he did not hesitate. He was pushed behind him by everyone, jumping and waving his hands to find some sense of existence, but no one paid attention to him.

"Hmph, are you guilty?" Xunzi squinted at Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang nodded: "Yes." It's up to me to do these things. ”

Xunzi snorted coldly again: "You are going to do it?" You're just going to rush forward recklessly, what can you do? ”

Zhu Xiang's face became even more guilty.

"But if you don't lead the way recklessly, I won't go there." Xunzi changed his words and sighed, "I hope that as you said, everything we do now can guide future generations." ”

Whether it's a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, or ten thousand years from now. As long as civilization continues, the sparks lit by the predecessors will always illuminate the path of the latecomers.

Xunzi believed so, and the Confucian scholars who followed Zhu Xiang also believed so.

Therefore, they do not hesitate, even if they sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

"If you feel guilty, stay in the Xianyang Academy Palace for more time." Xun Zi said, "Zheng'er also has to recuperate from his injuries, don't go back to Nanqin in February." If you stay in Qin, the king of Qin will not expel the Confucians. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Yes, Xunzi." ”

Xunzi said: "Also, you are not allowed to be soft-hearted and erect a monument for Chunhua!" Bury her far away, and don't let Zheng'er know the location! ”

Zhu Xiang, who wanted to make death a big deal, still set up a monument for Chunhua to burn some paper, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, Xunzi." ”

"Hmph." Xunzi closed his eyes again, relaxed his body, and enjoyed Zhu Xiang's massage.

Soon, he fell asleep.

Zhu Xiang's hands were light, and his eyes were worried.

Xunzi has been falling asleep more and more recently.

Chapter 171: Hand Pulled Grilled Chicken

The imperial doctor said that Xunzi was not sick, but he was not energetic and sleepy in old age.

Xunzi saw Zhu Xiang's anxious appearance and knew what Zhu Xiang was worried about.

He smiled and said, "I'm already very old, and it's possible to go to see the sages whenever I want." If you can die without illness and pain, it is a happy event. If you keep crying with a sad face, won't I walk unsteadily? Besides, I think I have to live for a few more years, and you didn't die for me so soon. ”

Xunzi stood up with Zhu Xiang's support, holding his cane in both hands, and looked into the distance: "There are many Confucian disciples who have been expelled from the Six Kingdoms and are heading west to the Qin State. You can't be idle, if you let you stay in Xianyang to appease them, you can't do it, and I still need to worry about it. ”

Xunzi sighed and said, "There will be many old guys this time, your reputation is enough, your age is not enough, and I have to take care of it." ”

Zhu Xiang pleaded: "Xunzi, if you give some of the things in your hands to others, you must live a few more days, at least until the Qin State unifies the world." At that time, the world changed dramatically, and many new systems must have been developed. If there is no Xunzi, others will definitely not be able to do it. ”

Xunzi gently tapped Zhu Xiang's arm with a cane, and said angrily: "How old am I?" How can you just count on me? The division commander accompanies you on a journey, but cannot accompany you for a lifetime. The rest of this life, you have to walk on your own. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I want the division commander to accompany me for the rest of my life." ”

Xunzi pretended to be angry: "If you say anything willful, I'll use a ring ruler." ”

Zhu Xiang was not afraid of Xunzi's ring ruler, but he could only keep his mouth shut.

He knows that he is willful, but people always don't like to part.

Fortunately, Xunzi is just sleepy a lot, and his body is really fine.

Because of the events after Zhu Xiang's abolition, Confucian disciples were expelled from the Six Kingdoms.

Although the Qin State also had this voice, Xunzi was not only the prime minister of the Qin State, but also the emperor publicly recognized by the Qin prince Chu. The crown prince grew up on Xunzi's knees, and although Xiangguo Cai Ze and Prime Minister Lin Zhen were not Confucian disciples, they were also Xunzi's disciples.

If Xunzi was still alive, it would be impossible for them to expel Confucianism.

As a result, the Confucian disciples who had been expelled from the Six Kingdoms traveled westward. For them, it's not just about finding a place to pursue their ambitions after being expelled. The Xianyang School Palace, where Xunzi and Zhu Xiang are located, is also an academic holy place in their hearts. They made a pilgrimage to the west.

Confucian disciples were the most learned people in this era, and unlike the disciples of other schools who specialized in one subject, from this time on, there was a habit of "all-encompassing sacred learning". For example, the six arts of the gentleman that they want to learn include all the knowledge that scholars should practice.

Therefore, when Confucian disciples traveled west, they carried a large number of "not very practical" documents that would only be collected by the court and the government, such as ritual music and history books.

Before these Confucian disciples came, Xunzi asked the Qin prince Chu to repair the library to expand the team of book repairers and accept these Confucian disciples.

On the grounds that before the Qin State wanted to unify the world, it would tolerate the world, and agreed to Xunzi's performance, not only repairing the library pavilion, but also repairing and printing most of the books and distributing them to the county middle school.

At this moment, the Qin State finally institutionalized the selection system of the Academy Palace.

Xianyang is a school palace, and the county is a school, and each has an official responsible for education.

Students can enter the school through the assessment of the school every year, and after three years of study in the school, they can be recommended by the school to study in the palace.

If you become a disciple of the Xue Palace, you can participate in the talent selection of the King of Qin every three years and become an official of the Qin State.

At the same time, officials in local counties and counties who are not directly sent by King Qin must get a recommendation for graduation from the university to be admitted.

This is not a imperial examination system, but between the examination and the probation.

Zhu Xiang once mentioned the imperial examination system to Xunzi and Zichu and others, but they only absorbed a little and did not copy it all.

At this time, the aristocratic power was still strong, and there were not many Hanmen scholars who could read among the people, so if Shiqing Xungui was rashly pulled to the level of Hanmen scholars, it would shake the rule of Qin. When Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, it would also encounter even stronger resistance.

It is necessary to "recommend" when entering and assessing, which creates more favorable conditions for the originally well-connected Shiqing nobles, and does not block the way of the poor scholars.

Now the so-called scholars of the poor family are the former nobles of the world who were defeated or failed in political struggles. If they came to the court, they would not agree to the same status as the future scholars of the Han family.

Zhu Xiang understood the concerns of his elders and friends.

After that, the Hanmen scholars grew because after many wars, many high-ranking families were beaten to the dust and reduced to civilians. There are not many such scholars now. Therefore, the talent assessment is mainly based on recommendation, and it is indeed the most appropriate to let King Qin be selected by assessment only when the final official is selected.

Of course, it is also because the population is too small now, and the total population of the Warring States period is less than 30 million, and there are even fewer people who can read, so King Qin can read the papers himself.

When the population exceeds 100 million, the talent selection assessment will definitely be changed. It's just that Zhu Xiang and others can't see that day, and can only hope for far-sighted descendants.

Worried that Xunzi was overworked, Zhu Xiang took Ying Xiaozheng, who was recuperating from his injuries, to take the initiative to take on the responsibility of receiving scholars who had fled to Qin.

The Six Nations talked about expelling Confucianism, but as soon as this was opened, it soon became an excuse for the ministers and doctors to exclude dissidents. Therefore, the people who came to Qin were far more than just Confucianists, and there were all the sons of the hundred schools.

With so many people suddenly pouring into Xianyang, Zhu Xiang was most worried about the living environment.

Today, the vegetation coverage of the Loess Plateau is quite high. It was not until Xianyang became the capital of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties and a million-dollar city that the environment of the Loess Plateau deteriorated significantly.

Trees are needed to build houses and bake fires, to feed millions of people, and over-cultivation is also indispensable. The turf on the high slopes of the loess has been removed, and soil erosion has become very serious.

Although the Yellow River will burst its banks, it is far from the extent that it hangs on the ground, nor has it taken the Huaihe River into the sea, turning the Huaihe River into an inland river and turning the Huaihe River basin into a flood-prone area.

Prince Qin Chu was also concerned about the influx of talents into Xianyang City.

There had never been so many talents in the Qin Kingdom, and the Prince of Qin was bitter and happy. He dreamed that Xianyang City could become a super capital city where the world's heroes gathered.

Zhu Xiang "snapped" a stack of paper and threw it in front of Zi Chu, calculating how much food, wood and land Zi Chu needed, and how much damage these things would cause to the environment.

King Qin, although the metropolis of millions is good, the lower reaches of the Yellow River will be silted up and burst the embankment.

It doesn't matter if it's the territory of the Six Nations now, does it? When you unify the world, you will have to spend the money of your treasury to control the river.

Zhu Xiang said: "At that time, let Xia Tong come to the house three times and not enter the house." ”
