My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 296

The candlelight penetrated the tulle, and in the ink-stained night, a faint yellow halo permeated. Ying Chengxun's reflection was long and short under the light. He walked slowly to the door of the room where Xunzi lived, and knocked on the door.

The left and right doors were opened from the inside, and Xunzi stood in front of the door in plain clothes, bowed his head and turned sideways, to make way for Ying Chengxue.

Ying Chengxue was surprised.

He thought that there would be a sound of entering, or that the door was unlocked, but he did not expect that Xunzi himself would come to open the door for him.

This happened to Li Mu, Gai Nie, and Jing Ke, but not to Xunzi.

Xunzi is the last one to enter the Chang'an Palace among the current disciples with nicknames.

Although Xunzi has always regarded Ying Chengxi as a king and regarded himself as a guest, but in fact there has always been a rift between the two, and that rift is called distrust.

Xunzi did not completely trust Ying Chengxu like his proud disciple Han Fei.

In Xunzi's philosophy, in the thinking of ordinary people, how can those with vested interests abandon their own interests for the well-being of others?
Therefore, no matter how many empty words Ying Chengxi said, Xunzi would not believe him.

Sitting in Jixia Academy, the old man who had waited for three years to offer sacrifices in vain regarded Ying Chengxi as the last straw.You can gamble with your own life, but you dare not put your entire net worth on it.

"Xunzi is still awake."

Ying Chengyu entered and sat facing the old man, he was a little uncomfortable and said nothing.

He already knew that Xunzi hadn't slept. If such a big thing happened today, Xunzi must have known what he did, so naturally he wouldn't sleep.

In the whole world, there are no more than three people who can solve the sequelae of the three major families of homicide, and Xunzi is one of them.

"If the emperor is the king, the world will be successful."

Xunzi twirled his beard and said with a smile. The joy on his face was visible to the naked eye, which was two extremes from the expression of the old man in black.

"Xunzi don't make fun of Cheng Xu anymore. Even if Cheng Xu becomes king, he thinks he can't do better than his brother."

"Green, take it from the blue and green from the blue. Your majesty is the king at this time, and you should take your majesty's king and bully to a higher level."

"Pull it down." Ying Chengxu curled his lips in disbelief. "Who are you fooling around with? I am the king tonight, at dawn Meng Ao can clear the king's side, and tomorrow Wang Ben, Li Xin, and Wang Jian can gather troops and horses to serve the king."

Seeing that Ying Chengxuan Zhizhi was not here, the old man sighed secretly, and stopped talking with Ying Chengxuan about being king, but said that Qing could not wake up a person who pretended to be asleep.

"Xunzi should know the purpose of Chengyu's visit today. Chengyu is a bit reckless in today's matter. The matter has come to an end. Please Xunzi call all his disciples to Xianyang to serve as officials in Qin Dynasty."

To quickly fill the vacancies of the Meng, Xi, and Bai families in Guanzhong, a large number of people who can become officials is needed.

It was difficult to find the first emperor because of Qin's own reasons, and there was not enough talent for follow-up reserves.And talents are exactly what Xunzi, who has disciples all over the world, lacks most.

It is impossible for these people to be prime ministers like Li Si and Han Fei and write handed down books, that is unrealistic.

But if they were only allowed to manage one city and one county, Xunzi would be able to find a large number of disciples with this talent.

To manage the head of Guanzhong and Guizhou, who is in awe of Qin Law, is tantamount to a novice task for those students of Jixia Academy who are used to hanging out in the advanced dungeon of Qi State.

"Qing can't even be the magistrate of Lanling County, how can a disciple be able to take on this important task, the king is joking."

Ying Chengxue frowned, this was the second variable, he did not expect Xunzi to decline him politely.

He knew very well that what Xunzi wanted was the same as himself, and now that he had such a good opportunity, he shouldn't give up.

Xunzi has a magnificent life experience. In Qi State, where the style of writing is the most popular, King Xiang of Qi once said that Xunzi is the best teacher.

According to today's terms, Xunzi is the most learned and knowledgeable person, the highest official in the intellectual and cultural circles.

However, Xunzi, who was so respected in Qi State, was only appointed as the magistrate of Lanling County by Huang Xie, the God of Spring, and was dismissed after only half of it.

"The stone is invisible in the soil, but the gold is shining brightly when thrown on the beach. The two are similar to one's own body, but the results are completely different. Xunzi is a piece of shining gold, which can be placed anywhere Luminous. Huang Xie's little man doesn't know Xunzi's talent, because his eyes are clumsy."

Xunzi smiled slightly.

"Qing has never thought that such a proud son of the sky, such as the king, would value Qing so much. Then dare to ask the king, why did you not set foot in the Qing family until today when you have been in the Chang'an palace for a long time.

"Your Majesty's move is like owning precious jewels but not knowing how to wear them. Mixing brocade and cloth but not knowing the difference between the two.

"The beauty Lu Shu and the beautiful man meet each other extravagantly, which is a good story but there is no mention of being a matchmaker. It was not until the ugly girl's mother pursued the beautiful man extravagantly that Lu Shu thought of pursuing.

"Your Majesty's behavior is not only stupid, but also absurd. It is simply to regard the blind as the sighted and the deaf as the deaf. It is so absurd to regard right as wrong and evil as good."

Xunzi first used the pearl in his words, and the brocade cloth implied that Ying Chengxun was dissatisfied with accepting him as a guest but not letting him contribute.

Later, he used the emotional entanglement of the beautiful woman Lu Shu, the beautiful man extravagant, and the ugly woman's mother to imply that Ying Chengxun got into trouble, and he was the only one who thought of him.

The ending is straight up without concealment.

Ying Chengxuan frowned, and a look of obvious dissatisfaction appeared on his originally relaxed face.

"Xunqing, do you think that I have to do with you? By ridiculing me like this, you can achieve your ideal world, where the world is based on law and respected by virtue?"

When Xunzi was called by his name, he didn't take it seriously, and stretched out his hand.

"Under the whole world, there are people who can solve the difficulties of the emperor, and Qing really can't think of others. If the emperor is not talking nonsense, is it okay to list three or two people to solve the puzzle with you?"

Ying Chengxi's face darkened.

"Confucianism has long been tired of studying classics in the doctor's office. I can ask Fu Sheng to come forward and ask him to make Confucian disciples scattered all over Guanzhong. Confucianism, who has long wanted to return to the status of the world's prominent schools, will not miss this opportunity. I will be grateful to my lord."

Glancing at Xunzi, Ying Chengxi slapped his thigh, with an exaggerated expression that he just remembered.

"I have forgotten that you are also a Confucian student, and the rise of Confucianism is equal to your rise. You speak ill of me, but I don't remember your personal hatred and help you regenerate Confucianism. I repay your hatred with virtue. You are really a saint."

Xunzi was not angry.

He said indifferently: "Your Majesty's thinking is right. Those fake Confucianists who distort Confucius' mind are willing to work together with you. But Qing wants to know, how will Your Majesty persuade Your Majesty?
"Your Majesty is not a king, and all Qin officials are determined by His Majesty. His Majesty, who regards legalism as a standard and worships bad people as his prime minister, should not be willing to see the rise of hypocritical Confucianism. Is what you said right?"

Ying Chengxun snorted coldly, but did not answer Xunzi's question, because what Xunzi said was right.

Confucianism and Legalism are deadly enemies.

The first emperor almost banned Confucianism in order to train the prince, how could he help Confucianism again.

If the price of using Confucianism is required to fill the vacancies in the three major worlds, Emperor Shihuang would definitely not do it.

The first emperor's strategy for Confucianism is very simple. You should study the classics in the doctor's office and teach my son benevolence and righteousness. Don't come out to make trouble.

"I have the genealogy of the Ying family in my hands. With this genealogy as a coercion, my brother should be able to follow suit."

The old god was always there, and Xunzi, who had a profound skill in nourishing Qi, was slightly startled and opened his mouth slightly.

"The genealogy of the Ying family is in the hands of the king? Are all the members of the Qin royal family under the control of the king?"

Xunzi has lived for so many years, but he has never heard of such a bizarre thing.

The king of a country is not in charge of the genealogy. Whether he can leave a bloodline in the descendants depends on the face of others. This matter touched Xunzi's blind spot.

Xunzi's feeling is the same as when he first heard Ying Chengxuan's idea that everyone in the world should be a nobleman and everyone can be an official. It doesn't make sense.

Ying Chengxun nodded reservedly, with a calm expression on his face.

Xunzi tore off a beard, and soon recovered his complexion.

"The king of Qin is an unborn emperor today. The genealogy in the hands of the king may make the king of Qin obey in small matters. But for such a big matter, the genealogy is like the chicken ribs that the king said. It is a pity to discard it. It is useless to keep it."

Ying Chengxun agreed with Xunzi's opinion deep in his heart. If the first emperor could be manipulated by a genealogy, he would not be the first emperor.

But he had a cold smile on his face, as if he didn't bother arguing with Xunzi.

He continued: "The aristocrats of the aristocratic families are all chasing fame and fortune, the three major aristocratic families are dead, and there are many vacancies for their official positions..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to say that the Qin family will carve up the official positions of the members of the three major families?"

Xunzi glanced at Ying Chengxun with the look in his eyes, Jun Shang, do you think I don't know anything.

"The Qin State has been fighting for years, and the land has continued to expand. Official positions are extremely scarce in other countries, but this is not the case in Qin State. Qin State's official positions have surpassed those of the old Qin people's aristocratic families. In another three to fifty years, perhaps the king's words will be realized. , now, hehe."

What a fart you are!

Misunderstood that Xunzi didn't know the truth about Qin, and was scolded by the rumored Ying Chengxun inwardly.

Dissatisfied and authentic: "I am talking about the nobles of the family, not the nobles of the Qin family. Qin's recruitment order is still one of Qin's national policies, and nobles from the six countries can be recruited as officials."

Xunzi nodded.

"This statement is true, but if you do this, Qing would like to ask, what is the plan of the three great families of Meng, Xi, and Bai?"

Didn't you kill the three great families just to break the status quo of monopolizing official positions in the world, so that you can make a good start?

Now that you have recruited the nobles from the Six Kingdoms to Qin, it would be better not to kill the three great families before.

"I don't need to bother Xunqing. I will naturally consider everything when I do things. I will move out of the Chang'an Palace tomorrow. This place is not suitable for you to stay."

Xunzi has been targeting Ying Chengxun, and Ying Chengxue feels that there is no way to continue talking with Xunzi.

He could see that Xunzi was trying to embarrass him on purpose. He didn't know the reason, so he couldn't solve the problem, so he asked Xunzi to leave.

Ying Chengxue asked himself that even the first emperor who trusted him and asked for anything could not be persuaded.

I really don't know how to persuade the mind, Xunzi who has reached the pinnacle of human beings.

Xunzi let Ying Chengxi walk to the door, put his hands on the doors on both sides, and then heaved a long sigh, and opened his mouth reluctantly.

"Why don't you go to Guiguzi, your lord? His disciples are more famous than Qing, and the number of his disciples is also more than Qing."

Ying Chengxue knew the elegant meaning when he heard the stringed sound, and pressed the door without looking back.

Clearly said: "It turns out that something went wrong here, and Xunzi still doesn't trust me."

"It's a matter of great importance, the lives of the students, and you have to be cautious. Your Majesty didn't answer until Qing said something about it. It's so determined."

"No, I'm not good at concentration, I didn't expect it."

Ying Chengxun didn't recognize Xunzi's praise and blew himself up.

"In my heart, Guiguzi has never been considered. Strategist, military strategist, yin and yang family, famous family, corpse family, none of the things he knows is the way of the prosperous age. As Dun Ruo said, there is no one in the world. A strategist is the prosperous age."

Xunzi stood up, facing Ying Chengxun's back, and bowed deeply with Confucian etiquette.

"Your Majesty's benevolence is still there, and you are willing to assist him. I hope you will not forget what you said today, and your original intention. Your Majesty will leave at ease, and Qing is in Xianyang, guarding Chang'an Junfu for your Majesty. A disciple of Qing's disciples, Guard Qin Guanzhong for your lord."

Ying Chengxun turned around with a smile, seeing the old man of his elder generation bowing his waist and saluting, without moving his footsteps or stepping forward to support him.

"With a few words from my lord, will Xunzi believe it?"

Xunzi didn't get up.

"It's not important what you say, but what you do. You have always agreed with Qin Guo's questioning and not caring. If a wicked person has done good deeds all his life and pretended to be a good person all his life, if you look at him with your eyes, he is a good person.

"Your Majesty wants Han Fei, and Lord Wu'an goes to the northwest to reform. Yu Waji and Tian Xuan War ignite the flames of people's hearts. Declaring war with the aristocratic family requires the aristocratic family to focus on Xianyang. Kill the three major aristocratic families to break the monopoly, and call for disciples to stabilize the situation.

"Qing sees and hears all kinds of actions of the king. At this moment, since the world is due to you to contribute, and Qing's lifelong wish is to walk on the road, why don't you want to? You tried it before, I was afraid that the king would be too domineering, and the original intention not there."

Ying Chengxi pulled Xunzi's arm.

"Legalism is the most domineering. Xunzi is a self-proclaimed Confucian and has taught two legalists. I am not as good as Xunzi when he is domineering."

Xunzi took advantage of the situation and stood up, using Ying Chengxun's teasing words to ease the atmosphere and convey his thoughts on governing the country.

"It is the law of the dead to use the strong. Domineering has never been the way of prestige, but equal emphasis on grace and power. At the beginning of human beings, nature is evil. Restraining by law is domineering, and education to enlighten wisdom is the kingly way. Domineering alone will lead to ignorance in the world. The kingly way is evil over the right way. When kings and hegemons go hand in hand, a great country can be achieved.”

Xunzi considers himself a Confucian student, and he agrees with Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, in terms of education.

The theory of evil nature that he put forward, which is opposite to Mencius, is based on the argument that Confucius taught without distinction.

At the beginning of human beings, human nature is inherently evil, and education is necessary to let people know about etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame. If people are born with good natures, education is a fart, and barbaric growth will be fine.

"Cheng Yu, please remember." Ying Chengxue responded seriously, then scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Cheng Yu has a question that I have kept in my heart for a long time. I don't know if I can ask Xunzi to explain it. It is Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" article."

Crabs obviously have eight legs, why does "Encouraging Learning" keep saying that they have six legs...
