On the shore of Songhai, the small sage village.

Xiao Shengxian Village is the main seat of Confucianism and is famous all over the world. Confucianism and Mohism are listed as one of the two major scholars in the world, unlike Mohist, most of the supporters of Confucianism are ordinary people, and most of the supporters of Confucianism are high-ranking officials and nobles, the ruling class, which also makes Confucianism more and more powerful.

Although Li Si, the prime minister of the current empire, is a representative of Legalism, but when he was young, he also studied Confucianism in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and Han Fei was also a disciple of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and the reputation and strength of Xiaoshengxianzhuang can be seen.

The little sage village is managed by the three disciples of the former Confucian head Xunzi - and called the "three heroes of Qilu" Fu Nian, Yan Lu, Zhang Liang is responsible for the management, teaching and educating people, and the three of them are headed by Fu Nian, is the head of the Confucian little sage village.

Fu Nian has been talented since he was a child, and is favored by many elders of Confucianism, and the prophecy will become the hope of Confucianism in the future, in fact, Fu Nian did not disappoint, Confucianism under his leadership, although he has never been an official in the court, but his influence is growing day by day, although Songhai City is the territory of the empire, but everyone in the city hears the name of Confucianism, so it is called Confucianism in the world.

Those who know Fu Nian know that Fu Nian has always been a very calm and majestic person, but at this moment, there was a rare hesitation on Fu Nian's face.

On the table in front of him, there was a bamboo slip, and after seeing the contents on it, Fu Nian's face did not relax anymore.

In the room at this moment, not only Fu Nian was alone, but Yan Lu, the second leader of Confucianism, and Xunzi, the highest Confucian senior, were all present.

Today, Xunzi and Wei Yi are, in a sense, the two most respectable of the hundred schools.

Zi is an honorific title for men, and the pre-Qin princes refer to the scholars and intellectuals who founded the doctrine in the pre-Qin period.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the society was in the midst of tremendous changes, the old social order disintegrated, the so-called etiquette collapsed, and people's thoughts burst out with vigorous vitality. They were self-reliant, and had a profound impact on both the present and future generations, and these people were called the sons of the pre-Qin dynasty.

And time passed, in the current world, the sons withered, Xunzi and Wei Yi were the only remaining masters.

Before Han Fei disappeared, he was also expected to achieve this achievement, but compared to Xunzi and Wei Yi, he lacked some prestige and academic insights after all.

In Confucianism, Xunzi is the person with the highest seniority, but he not only learns Confucianism, he also learns law.

Whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, Xunzi has extremely profound attainments. Xunzi's two most outstanding disciples are both representatives of Legalism, one is Han Fei and the other is Li Si.

Xunzi's status in the world can also be seen.

But at this moment, Xunzi is still under Fu Nian, only because Fu Nian is the head of Confucianism.

"Senior uncle, junior brother, what do you think of this letter from the 'Son of Heaven'?" Fu Nian asked.

The candle flame that flickers and goes out brightly reflects the uncertain figure of Fu Nian, just like Fu Nian's mind at this time.

Zhao Hao's words were extremely tough, and he didn't leave any affection for Xiao Shengxian Zhuang. When did an outsider dictate the Confucianism in the world?"

Fu Nian couldn't deny it, he looked at Yan Lu's body and asked, "Senior brother, what do you think?"

Yan Lu didn't dare to look directly at Fu Nian's gaze, he knew that Fu Nian was already angry at the moment, but he had no way to resolve Fu Nian's anger.

"What Uncle Shi said is that Confucianism has its own rules and does not need outsiders to teach. Yan Ludao.

"Smack. ”

The board in front of Fu Nian was broken in two by his palm, but the bamboo slip in the middle was not harmed at all, and it floated in mid-air like this.

Maintaining sanity in the face of anger is the Confucian master's thoughts.

Fu Nian stood up and looked at Xunzi and Yan Lu, with undisguised annoyance in his eyes.

"Then what do you think about Zhao Hao's accusation that Zifang helped the Mo family to rebel?" Fu Nian said in a deep voice.

The three masters of Confucianism, Zhang Liang, the word otax.

"Zhao Hao has no official or position, what he said is not a holy decree, the ovary is going out to visit friends, and it may not be that he is involved with the Mo family. Yan Lu argued.

"Uncle Shi, do you think so too?" Fu Nian's hands trembled slightly~ trembling, but he still held back his anger.

Xunzi didn't speak.

The authenticity of the content of Zhao Hao's letter, a person like him who is old and refined naturally has his own judgment.

It's just that among the three heroes of Qilu, he has always favored Zhang Liang. Just as he always favored Han Fei between Li Si and Han Fei back then.

The older they are, the more paranoid and unreasonable they become, and they tend to make many mistakes.

"The Mohists and Confucianism have always been rivals, and most importantly, the Mohists are enemies of the empire, but Confucianism is not. The city was built in the mountains, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Mo family could have no scruples. But the little sage village is in Songhai, whether it can keep the name of Confucianism in the world, haven't the uncle and the junior brother thought about it?"

Yan Lu lowered his head, he knew about this matter from the beginning, but he just hid Fu Nian, and now that the incident has happened, if he is more forceful, he can only anger Fu Nian even more.

However, Yan Lu had scruples, but Xunzi did not.

"Mencius and Gaozi I once said, life, I do what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. Xunzi said.

Fu Nian laughed angrily: "Absurd, the empire is orthodox, the Mo family is rebellious, helping the rebellion to subvert orthodoxy, and also deserving of being crowned as sacrificing one's life for righteousness?" The family of the ovary has been in Korea for three generations, Korea was destroyed by the Qin State, and now he is rebellious and merging with the Mo family, whether he sacrifices his life for righteousness or wants to avenge the revenge of the country, you and I are very clear in our hearts. ”

"Shouldn't the country be ruined, shouldn't it be revenged?" asked Xunzi.

"Yes, but he is the third master of Confucianism, and I am the head of Confucianism, so I can't watch the ovary pull Confucianism into the abyss of no return. Fu Nian said firmly.

"Confucianism, are there people who are afraid of death?" Xunzi continued to ask.

Fu Nian's face was also gloomy, and he said, "Uncle Shi, I know that you are from the Zhao State, but the Zhao State is already in the past, and now there is only the Qin State in the middle of the world." If you can't let go of the old grievances, then be a happy puppet. As the head of Confucianism, I cannot tolerate Confucianism being wantonly used by some careerists~. ”

Xunzi's eyes became sharp, his back straightened, and an indescribable sharpness suddenly appeared on his old face.

"Are you teaching me a lesson, or are you ordering me?" Xunzi said in a bad tone.

It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him like this, in this world, unless Yingzheng is in person, even if Li Si comes, Xunzi will dare not give Li Si any face, let alone Fu Nian.

"Uncle Shi, in terms of seniority, you are indeed my Uncle Shi. But don't forget that I am now the head of Confucianism. The safety of Confucianism and the future of Confucianism are now guided by me. Fu Nian did his best to think about this, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and asked his uncle to learn from it. Fu Nian's words were soft and firm, but he didn't give an inch.

Yan Lu looked at the scene in front of him, anxious, but he didn't know what to do.

Xunzi suddenly laughed, the laughter seemed mean and sarcastic, it was hard to imagine that this was laughter coming from the mouth of an old man.

"If I'm not mistaken, you were moved by Zhao Hao's conditions, right?"

Fu Nian did not deny it, and said calmly: "It is a blessing for the empire to reopen the Jixia School Palace. There are hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own theory, and it has always been difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. And in the Jixia School Palace, everyone can show their strengths to attract the support of their own doctrines. The important ministers of the empire, and even the prince Fusu and His Majesty the Emperor will also be there in person, and Confucianism, as one of the two great scholars in the world, naturally should not miss this grand event. ”

Jixia School Palace, is the Warring States period Tian Qi's official institutions of higher learning, was built in Qi Huan Gongtian Wu. The Jixia Academy is the world's first government-run institution of higher learning in a special form hosted by a private person. The rare and spectacular "Hundred Schools of Thought" in the history of Chinese academic thought is centered on the Qi State Jixia School Palace.

As the central garden of hundreds of academic contentions at that time, it effectively contributed to the formation of the world's academic contention.

At that time, all literati and scholars who came to the Jixia Academy, regardless of their academic affiliation, ideological views, political tendencies, as well as their country, age, seniority, etc., were free to express their academic opinions, thus making the Jixia Academy a center where various schools of thought converged at that time. These scholars argued, cross-examined, and absorbed each other, and became typical examples of the "contention of a hundred schools" that truly embodied the Warring States period.

And the Qi State has long since perished, and the Jixia School Palace has also been swept into the dust.

However, Zhao Hao's letter to Fu Nian mentioned that the empire was going to reopen the Jixia School Palace, which was indeed a grand event for the hundred schools of thought.

In a sense, this meant that the empire was willing to accept their doctrines, provided that they were attractive enough to attract the favor of the ruling ministers and even Fusu and Yingzheng.

Although Fu Nian has never been a celebrity, he has always had great ambitions and has taken it as his responsibility to carry forward Confucianism. The moment he saw the news, Fu Nian made a decision.

He won't miss this opportunity.

"Have you ever thought that this is a means for the empire to balance the hundred schools, pull a batch, fight a batch. To accept the court's co-optation meant to be the enemy of many people. Xunzi warned.

"I don't think they're a rival to the Empire, just as I don't think they're an opponent of the Empire. Fu Nian said confidently.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, there are only a few who can compete with Confucianism.

No matter which school he faces, Fu Nian is confident that he has the power to fight.

However, in the face of the empire, Fu Nian knew that he could only bring about his own destruction.

"Now that you've made your decision, why bother asking us for advice. Xunzi said coldly.

"Although the Jixia School Palace is standing, the sacrificial wine of the head of the School Palace is still hanging in the air. In addition to the uncle, there were also people who dared to say that he was the first person in the hundred schools of thought? He also asked the uncle to be a Confucian plan, and went out of the mountain to preside over the head of the palace. Fu Nian bowed.

Xunzi didn't avoid Fu Nian's etiquette, but he snorted coldly and said, "When the Jixia School Palace was destroyed under the iron hooves of the Qin State, I never thought of entering the Jixia School Palace again. He who has been destroyed will never come back. ”

The Jixia School Palace of the Qi State was destroyed by the iron cavalry of the Qin army.

At that time, Xunzi had served as the "sacrificial wine" of the school palace three times, and when he served as the sacrificial wine for the last time, he watched the demise of the Jixia school palace, and that kind of mood was not experienced by Fu Nian.

Therefore, Xunzi has never had a good impression of Qin, and in Xunzi's mind, Qin's destruction is not only his homeland.

"In Uncle Shi's heart, isn't there a trace of worry about the safety of Xiao Shengxian Village? Back then, Uncle Shi's attitude towards Li Si and Han Fei was known to the world, Li Si is now the prime minister of the empire, one person is above ten thousand people, what kind of character he is, Uncle Shi is no stranger. Over the years, I didn't dare to let Confucian disciples enter the ranks at all, because I was worried about Li Si's revenge. Now that there is an opportunity for Confucianism to come to the front of the stage openly, such a God-given opportunity, if it is missed, how can Confucianism talk about the future. Fu Nian said a little excitedly.

Xunzi was silent, he was ashamed of this matter.

Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation and Qi family governance of the country and the world, but over the years, there are few Confucian disciples who have entered the ranks, and the "Qilu Sanjie" who is the head of the family is nested in the small sage village to "concentrate on academics".

If they didn't think about joining the office, it would be self-deception, just because Fu Nian knew that even if they did, they would definitely be suppressed by Li Si.

Li Si has never been a broad-minded person, and his attitude towards Xiao Shengxian Zhuang over the years has been even more ambiguous~ ambiguous, and others don't know, but Fu Nian, as the head of Confucianism, is of course impossible to have a dull sense of smell.

"Well, now that you've made your decision, I don't want to do anything more. The empire is in turmoil, and it may not be a good place to go, but you are now the head of Confucianism, and you may not be able to hear what I say. I only send you one sentence, a gentleman has something to do, something not to do, you can do it yourself. The future of Confucianism depends entirely on your decision. Xunzi suddenly felt excited.

It turns out that he favored Han Fei back then and had already missed it once.

This time he still favored Zhang Liang, but he didn't want to insist on his own opinion anymore, after all, he also had a responsibility for Confucianism.

"Uncle Shi, where is the sacrificial wine?" Fu Nian asked.

Xunzi waved his hand and said: "I am not born, Wei Yu is even more dying, how many people in the world can compete with you? You have always kept a low profile, but since you have decided not to hide it anymore, you should have a spirit of giving up on me." ”

Fu Nian was stunned, Xunzi had already gone away.

"Thank you, uncle. Fu Nian slammed to the ground.

"Senior brother, have you really decided?" Yan Lu's expression was complicated.

"Senior brother, senior brother knows that your life is miserable, and you have the same illness as the ovary, but the general trend is the same, for the future of Confucianism, I must do this. Fu Nian's voice was firm, without the slightest hesitation.

Yan Lu didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes.

He had never been able to resist Fu Nian's decision.
