The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 123 Xun Kuang Bei Mingzi

Waking up early the next day, Ying Xuan put aside what happened last night, and after breakfast, he took Zhang Liang to the postman to meet Xun Kuang and Bei Mingzi.

The postmen of the State of Qin are in the north of Xianyang. Before the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, there used to be people coming and going here, and the people who came and went were all eloquent people.

After the disintegration of the Six Kingdoms, the post office lost its original function and was changed to the residence of county officials of the Qin State in Xianyang, so few people paid attention to it.

But today, there is a sea of ​​people here, the post office is already overcrowded, and even the outside is completely surrounded, and the people who are looking forward to it are all the dignitaries in brocade clothes and jade clothes.

The academy affects the whole body, this is a feast in the cold world, how can the aristocratic family stay out of it?Even the aristocratic families pay more attention to the academy than the poor ones.

The academy is just a poor family providing a platform to soar to the sky, but for the aristocratic family, if they can't get enough benefits at the beginning of the academy, what awaits them is a century-old foundation, which will be destroyed overnight.

Walking into the post office, Yingxuan took Zhang Liang directly to Xun Kuang's residence. Xun Kuang didn't seem to like to be disturbed by others. There were two Confucian disciples waiting at the door. There were people talking a lot outside, and they couldn't enter with their consent. Xun Kuang's room.

"Hello third uncle!"

When the two disciples of Confucianism saw Zhang Liang, they were respectful, greeted Zhang Liang, and opened the door to let Ying Xuan and Zhang Liang in.

"Junior Ying Xuan has met Mr. Xun Kuang!"

"Zhang Liang pays his respects to Master Uncle!"

Xun Kuang, who was standing by the window, turned his head, glanced at the two, walked to the couch in the room, and sat down.

"No need to be polite, come and sit down!"

Yingxuan was not polite, walked straight to the opposite side of Xun Kuang, and sat down. Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and chose to sit on Yingxuan to start. Now he is an imperial official, and the close ministers around Yingzheng always think of Confucianism in his heart. too much.

Seeing Zhang Liang's choice, the corners of Ying Xuan's mouth could not help but rise slightly, "Sure enough, he is a smart person, and he has the clearest definition of his identity. First he is a minister of the empire, and then he is Confucian Zhang Liang."

"Master came from a long way, Ying Xuan was supposed to go out of the city to meet him, and then discuss important matters with Master, but Ying Xuan has important matters to attend, and now he is late, so I hope Master will see you."

Facing a famous Confucian leader like Xun Kuang, there must be some polite words, and Ying Xuan kept his posture very low.

"Your Excellency is polite."

Xun Kuang said: "Hou Ye is Your Majesty's important minister. He hunted down the monsters and wiped out the farmers, and now he is working hard on the affairs of the academy. Time is precious. I am an idle person, how can I compare with Hou Ye?"

"Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are Yingxuan's duties. If all schools of thought are like Confucianism, how can this Marquis rush around and go to war?"

Ying Xuan could hear the dissatisfaction in Xun Kuang's tone, and knew that Xun Kuang was quite critical of Ying Xuan's extermination of the peasant family.

"Since all the schools of thought refuse to return to their hearts, can killing all schools of thought make them return to their hearts?" Xun Kuang asked Ying Xuan back.

"Killing people is just a method. Killing chickens to scare monkeys and frighten young people is also a good way." Ying Xuan confronted each other and refused to give in.

"Is it a good thing to kill Yingye at a young age?" Xun Kuang continued, "Master Hou is young and kills too many people. I'm afraid it will end badly!"

This is a bit embarrassing!

"Killing one is a crime, and killing ten is also a crime. Only when you kill nine million people can you become a master."

Ying Xuan said coldly: "Since this crime needs to be borne by someone, whether it is Your Majesty or I am waiting for Qin Chen, then for Qin's sake, I am duty-bound."

Seeing Xun Kuang's sullen expression, he was about to say more, but Ying Xuan made a decisive decision and interrupted Xun Kuang first.

"Master Xun Kuang, this is a court affair, it's inconvenient for you and me to say more, let's talk about the academy."

"The master used to be the sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy. Kyushu Academy and Jixia Academy have similarities and differences, but their purpose of spreading culture is the same."

Ying Xuan said: "Master is a famous Confucianist, and he has a very good reputation among all schools of thought. For such a grand event, the empire needs Master's full support."

Seeing that Yingxuan didn't want to get entangled in the farm affairs, and instead brought up the Kyushu Academy, Xun Kuang also became serious.

"Although I have different opinions on some things, the old man and Lord Hou maintain the same view on the matter of the academy."

Xun Kuang agreed and said: "The practice of education will lead to great harmony in the world. If everyone understands propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame, knows benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and understands loyalty, courage, filial piety and brotherhood, then we can see the world of great harmony."

Yingxuan didn't agree with Xun Kuang's statement in his heart, as he said, human nature is inherently evil, and if we educate it, not everyone will be good.

The purpose of the empire's establishment of academies is only to select talents and use them for the empire; to enlighten the wisdom of all people in the world, to know that Qin's law is like the sky, and it cannot be surpassed, so as to dispel their hearts of evil and chaos.

As for the so-called Great Harmony world, Yingxuan disagrees, natural selection, the law of the jungle is the law of nature.

But Yingxuan still said: "What the master said is very reasonable, so the empire wants to invite the master to enter the academy and be the leader among them, I wonder if the master is willing?"

"For the sake of the common people in the world, there is nothing wrong with it!"

"good!"

Ying Xuan said: "Then please allow me to meet Senior Beimingzi, Master. When Senior Beimingzi agrees to join the academy, I will explain the preparation of the academy for the two seniors."

"Your Majesty, please!"

Xun Kuang is a master of Confucianism and Law, with ambitions and ambitions for the world.What's more, with Confucius traveling around the world and recruiting many disciples, the opportunity to become a teacher of the world is close at hand. Ying Xuan does not believe that Xun Kuang will not be tempted. This is not inferior to Confucius.

Yingxuan didn't need to talk, he only needed to describe the future of the academy to him, and Yingxuan was [-]% sure to persuade Xun Kuang to leave the mountain, and the fact was the same, Yingxuan didn't say much, and Xun Kuang readily agreed.

The Tianzong of Taoism has no desires, and Bei Mingzi is indeed difficult to deal with. No matter how Ying Xuan persuades, Bei Mingzi still drinks tea at ease, and turns a deaf ear to Ying Xuan's persuasion.

"The things about the academy are beneficial for thousands of years, but my Tianzong of Taoism is far away from the world of mortals, and what I want is to be at ease. It is not my original intention to enter the world."

"Since that's the case, why did senior go west to Xianyang?" Ying Xuan asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty came to the Taoist Tianzong in person. The Taoist Tianzong still has to give him his face." Bei Mingzi stroked his beard and said, "The Taoist Tianzong has no intention of being an enemy of the empire, but it also has no intention of being with the empire. The reason why it belongs to the empire is It's just that I don't want to have a dispute with the empire."

Ying Xuan's face was ugly, this Bei Mingzi didn't eat soft and hard food, and didn't eat oil or salt.Even though Yingxuan promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries, he also drew a beautiful blueprint for the Taoist Tianzong, but Bei Mingzi just refused to let go, and Yingxuan couldn't help feeling a little angry.

"Since the senior is willing to go west to Xianyang, I believe that the senior also has the inclination to join the academy. The junior dares to ask the senior how to join the academy? If it is within the scope of my ability, I will naturally do my best to meet the senior's request. "

Ying Xuan no longer tried to persuade Bei Mingzi, and gave his last condition. If Bei Mingzi still refused, Ying Xuan could only take the next best thing and invite other prominent figures from various schools of thought.

"It's very simple. Your Majesty uses the general trend of the world to persuade the old man to join the empire. Then you only need Lord Hou to give a reason that the old man can't refuse, and the old man will naturally join the academy and do his best for the empire."

Bei Mingzi put down the teacup in his hand, with piercing eyes, waiting for Ying Xuan's answer.

Ying Xuan didn't answer right away, but thought about it for half an hour, Ying Xuan suddenly thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since Bei Mingzi cannot be persuaded by reason, then use the power of science to convince him.

"The Tao is very, very Tao. Since this is the case, I will ask a question. If the senior can answer it, the junior will never mention the matter of the academy. If the senior can't answer it, I, as the master of the academy, please live in peace. How about Xianyang?"

"Oh, it's interesting, you can ask!" Bei Mingzi said with interest, obviously he didn't feel that Ying Xuan's question could stump him.

"The water of the great river has flowed east since ancient times; the dead leaves of autumn have all fallen to the ground. All these things go to the lower places. Dare I ask the seniors, why?"

Bei Mingzi's eyes narrowed slightly, what Ying Xuan said was obvious, but when he got to the bottom of it, Bei Mingzi found that he didn't know the reason.

"Why?" Bei Mingzi didn't know, but he felt that Ying Xuan might not know.

"Tao follows nature. This is the law of nature. The law of nature is extremely regular. Everything in the world is endless and has its own rules, which is the Tao."

Yingxuan explained, then got up and left, walked to the door, stopped again, and said: "In my opinion, Tao is the rules. If seniors want to have various rules, you might as well come to the academy. In the future, all the talents in the world will be in the academy." In the academy, even if you don't understand it today, someone will be able to understand it in the future."

"The younger generation will leave first. This afternoon, at the Changgehou Mansion, I will wait for the senior to discuss the matter of the academy."
