In Qin Dynasty, the future can be expected

Chapter 123 Xunzi and Han Fei, Li Si, Wubei, the cheating Ying Ze, unexpected troubles
At the same time, Qi State.

Qi State is a very interesting country. In a sense, it is more interesting than the coquettish Yan State.

Because in this era where strength is generally used to define a country, Qi, you can't use the concept of strength to describe it.

You said Qi is weak?But it is indeed the richest country in the world. Even if the Five Kingdoms entered Qi and the Yan Kingdom destroyed its clan and plundered its treasures, it is still the richest country in the Seven Kingdoms. Even the Qin Kingdom today cannot compare to it .

But if you think that Qi is a powerful country because of this, then you will be very sad to find that this rich country has already existed in name only, and there is no popular support at all. This is a country without dignity.

Since the Five Kingdoms entered Qi, Qi has been completely flat. Now Qi just wants to live its own life behind closed doors. For the disputes between the other five countries and Qin, if it is not necessary, it will be like this time. , it doesn't even bother to answer.

And in such a strange country, there is the only cultural holy place in this troubled world: Jixia Academy.

Here, no matter what sect or sect you come from, as long as you have real talents and learning, you will definitely be able to find your own place.

There are teachers from all over the world to teach here, and there are also scholars from all over the world to study. Of course, except for Qin, the people of Qin are more interested in war.

But no matter where they come from, they all have one thing in common, that is, they all belong to the elites of this era, and among these people there is a bright star, in front of him, no matter what your origin, no matter your No matter what kind of achievement, he will be eclipsed in front of him. He is Xunzi.

Xun Kuang, the only master of contemporary Confucianism who studied the thoughts of a hundred schools of thought in his early years, and later became Confucianism, and finally surpassed the shackles of Confucianism, is also the only Confucian who Yingze does not reject, and respects very much.

Today's Xun Kuang has just stepped into his sixtieth year. For people of this era, this is already a very old age, but for Xun Kuang, this is the pinnacle of his life. The energy has not declined, and the accumulation of knowledge has reached its peak.

And now, he is facing a difficult choice.

Ying Ze's invitation.

This young man he was most optimistic about even surpassed his current disciple Han Fei. He had just invited him to be the dean of the Confucian Academy at the Daqin Academy, which had just started school last year.

The Daqin Academy is a large-scale academy located in the west of Xianyang City that Ying Ze has just presided over to build. It is said that it is still larger than the Jixia Academy, and it is ready to expand at any time.

This school is different in various senses. First of all, he has not set up the sacrificial wine that everyone expected, that is, the head of the school.

It is said that the post of sacrificial wine was planned to be set up by Ying Ze, but there are many voices who think that Ying Zheng is the king of Qin, so the post of sacrificial wine, even if it is only a nominal one, should be assumed by Ying Zheng with.

Then, the bickering started.

Most of the people who think that Ying Ze should be in charge of offering sacrifices are disciples from hundreds of families. The reasons they put forward are extremely simple--Ying Ze is the most educated person in the elite class of Qin State. Let Ying Ze stand on top of them. , everyone can accept it.

However, if a simple royal family like Ying Zheng, who is underage and has no academic achievements, is allowed to serve as the sacrificial wine, even if it is just a name, they will not accept it. Don’t ask why, it’s just that these old academics have a temper .

In Qi State’s Jixia Academy, the post of sacrificial wine has always been held by academic masters, such as Xunzi, while in Qin State’s Academy, it is known as “studying between heaven and man, understanding the changes of the past and the present, and gathering the strengths of a hundred schools of thought.” , become the words of a family", then as a school palace sacrifice wine, at least you have to learn from hundreds of schools, right?
This point, Ying Ze, who was forced to add knowledge by King Zhao since he was a child, has barely achieved it. He can even be called a master in the military, medical, and farming families. Although scholars say that, they can accept it. After all, at Ying Ze's age... or in other words, there are only a few people in the current hundred schools who can match him.

But Yingzheng... other than being the King of Qin, he seems to have nothing to show for it, and now he has not been crowned as a pro-government, and he has not made much achievements in government affairs. Sacrificial wine Xun Kuang...

I'm sorry, if Qin's school had such an atmosphere, they wouldn't come here, let alone threaten Qin's army, if the heads of each family don't accept this, they will die. Confucius and Mencius have not yet Which one was threatened by this so-called power.

And being so hostile by people from various schools of thought, the part of the defenders of royal power who previously supported Ying Zheng as the academy's sacrificial wine really couldn't give any strong reason, but they just felt that the Qin's academy, It should be respected by the king of Qin.

Many people even discussed privately that if Ying Ze took over the affairs of the academy, then King Qin, wouldn't it be a bit too much for a vase?

Then, the original discussion around the academy's sacrifice to wine was inexplicably deviated, and even developed in some directions that were inconvenient to speak out.

Seeing this, Ying Ze immediately cut off the position of offering wine in the academy, and since the position was gone, it didn't matter who would take the position.

In fact, this matter is actually not that troublesome. The main reason is that the people who fought the fire singled out the matter of King Qin and Lord Luoyang's control over the Qin State. There is no way not to do it.

Although all his subordinates know that after Ying Zheng is crowned, he will take the initiative to withdraw from the power center, but the time has not yet come, and the power transfer they planned has not yet started. If Ying Ze throws out the military power all at once...

Who dares to accept this thing?

Ying Zheng couldn't pick it up yet, and no one else dared to touch it, or in other words, even if they wanted to pick it up, no one could catch it.

Because Ying Ze raised the bottom line of this position too high, apart from King Qin, the legal heir, only Meng Ao could barely take it, but Meng Ao is now joining the academy, and he is too old to be suitable.

But the younger generation... who is qualified?
Therefore, the position of sacrificial wine can only be put aside for now, and it will be filled when Ying Ze retires. At that time, no one can say anything.

In addition, the establishment of this academy is also a bit strange. All schools of thought can apply for one academy. As for the position of dean, it is up to the academy to decide on its own, Qin Guo does not care, but the dean needs to be controlled by Qin State.

Because of this, Xunzi was a little helpless about Ying Ze's operation, because before his former student Xu Le arrived at Jixia Academy, Ying Ze took the lead in advertising to the world that he was going to invite him, a master of Confucianism, to go to Daqin Academy to serve as the dean.

This means that Qin, the most powerful country in the world, recognized Xun Kuang as the representative of Confucianism. This is the most embarrassing thing for Xunzi!

Because Confucianism is actually very chaotic, not much worse than Mohism. In other words, the three major schools of thought in the world, Confucianism, Daoism, and Mohism, all split after the patriarch. The door is even more powerful. The ten sages of Confucianism are 72 sages, and they are also nicknamed the ten thieves of Confucianism, and the 72 roads are against the king.

After Confucius, the Confucian school was in chaos, each misinterpreting the scriptures and meanings, thinking that he was the orthodox Confucianism, and his brains were blown out. Of course, the Mohism was indispensable. After all, the conflict between Confucianism and Mohism was not small .

It wasn't until after Meng Ke that he redefined Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, that Confucianism finally ended the civil strife.

However, after the Confucian school finally settled down, Xun Kuang appeared again, and once again provoked the Confucian war. Xun Kuang believed that the current Confucianism was a bunch of utopian rotten Confucians who did not value reality and only fantasized about the public world, but they did not care about it. If you don't actually do it, you will know that you are nothing if you open your mouth and open your mouth, and you will have a big conflict with Mencius because your nature is inherently good or inherently evil.

This conflict has not been resolved until now.

However, Yingze directly advertised to the world and invited Xunzi to be the dean of the Confucian Academy of Daqin Academy, which meant that Yingze recognized Xunzi's orthodoxy in Confucianism!
Ying Ze directly used the name of a country to serve as Xunzi's backer.

This made Xunzi very helpless, because Yingze was completely coercing and luring, and he should give favor first. If he didn't repay, it would be immoral.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. For Xunzi, the most irresistible thing is that Yingze also took out the dictionary he compiled according to the situation of this era.

Xunzi just read a few pages of this dictionary, and he couldn't help it!
And Ying Ze said that the compilation of the dictionary was too much and complicated, and he couldn't handle it alone. Ying Ze even put all the books of the Zhou royal family that were seized in Luoyang and brought back from the old capital of Chu State to the Great Qin School. Palace, invited people from hundreds of schools to organize and compile it into a book.

Ying Ze used these things to tempt him!Simply inhuman!

So now he is very distressed, should he go?In what capacity?What is your status in Daqin Academy after you go there?
Ah, distress!

He knew that it was impossible for a human being to take all the benefits. Ying Ze threw the treasure in his face first, and he couldn't refuse it at all!

So, after thinking for a long time, he, Xun Kuang, was still tempted!

However, no matter whether it is the compilation of the collection of books or the dictionary that Ying Ze said, neither one person can complete it. Ying Ze can't do it, and neither can he. Looking for helpers in the academy.

The first to bear the brunt was Han Fei, one of his two apprentices.

Xun Kuang liked Han Fei's talent very much, but the real reason that made Xun Zi admire him was his character.

However, Han Fei refused yesterday. He wanted to go back to Korea.

To be honest, Xunzi didn't want Han Fei to go to Korea, even though it was his country.

From his knowledge, from the moment the six countries signed the treaty made by Ying Ze, he knew that the six countries had no future, and that seemingly innocuous peace treaty completely extinguished the last hope of the six countries to resist Qin .

Today's Six Kingdoms, to put it bluntly, are not much different from Qin's vassal states. As long as Qin's preparations are completed, the destruction of the Six Kingdoms will not be difficult.

The first to bear the brunt is South Korea, which is blocked on the way out of Qin Guodong.

This country that has been rotten to the bone cannot be saved by Han Fei's so-called enthusiasm. Not to mention whether Han Fei has that ability, even if he does, will Ying Ze give him that chance?
Xunzi even felt that if South Korea continued to perform badly, Ying Ze would not rush to do it. He would wait until South Korea reached the lowest point, and then fight without a fight.

However, if Han Fei wanted to do his so-called saving the country...

"What do you want to do?" Xunzi asked seriously, looking at Han Fei who had packed his luggage and was ready to go.

"I'm going home." Han Fei smiled.

"Do you still want to do what you did before?" Xunzi sighed slightly. He knew the purpose of Han Fei coming to Jixia Academy to study, but he was in a completely different state then and now.

At that time, if South Korea wanted to be self-improving, there was still a little chance, but now, South Korea is nothing but an indestructible existence to Qin, and Ying Ze, that kid is ruthless, he will never doubt , as long as South Korea has the trend of reform and strengthening, Ying Ze will not hesitate to extinguish the fire of this revival.

South Korea, there is no chance.

"It's not impossible." Han Fei squinted his eyes and smiled, but the twitching corners of his eyes made Xun Zi clearly feel the distress in Han Fei's heart.

"But you should see that you can't stop what's coming, so where is your so-called opportunity?" Xunzi asked.

"Teacher, Qin's unification is a foregone conclusion. It's not that I can't see this fact clearly." Han Fei shook his head and let go of his burden.

"The state of Qin is too strong. The foundation laid by the six kings of Qin has given Qin the power to dominate the world. Now, whether it is the king of Qin who has not yet been crowned, or the king of Luoyang who is coercing the six kingdoms, they are not simple people. With them With such a person, the Six Nations have no chance at all."

"Then where's your chance?" Xunzi really couldn't see any chance, he only saw the blood flow after resisting Ying Ze.

The two of them had known each other since Yingze was a teenager. At that time, he had already discovered Yingze's inherent domineering nature. If everyone couldn't listen to him when he was still willing to speak well, he would stop talking.

Once you make him feel that peaceful communication costs more than violent massacres, he will choose the more cost-effective one without hesitation.

And once things get to that point, no one can stop him.

"You won't be the kind of person who just gives up, but, Han Fei, I still have to warn you that some people cannot be provoked." Xunzi shook his head. He didn't know what kind of person the uncrowned King Qin was, but He knows Ying Ze's character, as long as that thing tends to get out of his control, his superficial easy-going will completely disappear.

"I know." Han Fei smiled wryly. Xunzi had talked with them a lot about Ying Ze over the years. Besides his unabashed appreciation, most of them were warnings to them.

Don't try to provoke him, maybe others will have scruples because of the so-called reputation, but Ying Ze is different. He doesn't care about his own reputation. When it comes to the key parts, he is an extremely rational person. is a person.

Once you angered him... In life, who cares about his posthumous name?
"So I won't do those provocative things. What I have to do now is to be patient and prepare for an outbreak." Han Fei replied,
"Although I firmly believe that Qin's unification is unstoppable, ruling the world is far more difficult than conquering the world. It took six generations of Qin kings and people like Ying Ze to complete the great cause of conquering the world. Although the time is not so much, it is by no means something that their generation can accomplish."

"I don't know what kind of person the king of Qin who has not yet been crowned is, but the one who can get the support of Lord Luoyang must be no worse than him, but, even so, there have been seven generations of heroes in Qin. I don't believe it. There will be an eighth generation, or even a ninth generation in Qin, and there will never be a person like Ying Ze in Qin. It is absolutely impossible for God to love Qin so much. Once there is a problem in Qin, at that time, South Korea's Here comes the opportunity." Han Fei affirmed.

"If you want to see that day, the premise is that you can live long enough. If this is the case, I still advise you to join the Taoist school. With the ability of the Taoist Tianzong, it may help you live a few more years .” Xunzi laughed, but there was a lot of worry about Han Fei between his brows and eyes.

Han Fei's body does not support him to do such a life-long thing. Moreover, Bei Mingzi, the highest-ranking person in the Taoist Tianzong, has an extraordinary relationship with Ying Ze, so Ying Ze wants to live a long life. One or two hundred years is not difficult, but it is absolutely impossible for Han Fei.

"Then, can you guarantee that you can live longer than King Qin and Lord Luoyang?" Xunzi's face straightened, he still didn't want Han Fei to do such an unrealistic thing.

"I don't know how long I can live, and I don't know how long the King of Qin can live, but Lord Luoyang Yingze, this person is hard to live long." Han Fei shook his head,

"He is too calculating, too scheming, too murderous, and too lucky. Such a person has too many secrets. How can he live long?"

"Extreme prosperity must decline, and extreme wisdom must be hurt. Lord Luoyang Yingze..."

In Han Fei's eyes, something is wrong with Ying Ze. He is too smart, even reaching a weird level. His achievements in the four schools of military, medical, farming, and Confucianism are impossible to achieve at his age. level, not to mention that he is still four at the same time.

Since joining the army without a single defeat, a person who is only in his twenties has reached a peak that is difficult for others to reach in his entire life. He has really succeeded to a level that should not exist!

If Ying Ze was the same age as Xun Zi, he wouldn't be so difficult to understand, but the biggest problem with Ying Ze is that he is too young!

A person in his 20s who has done so much, is too smart and too greedy, this is definitely not a long-term appearance!
"..." Xunzi was speechless.

He also knew that Ying Ze was too abnormal, his existence had already violated the laws of nature, such a person with countless lights appeared in this troubled world...

And what Han Fei said is indeed reasonable. It is not difficult for Qin to destroy the six countries, but governing the world is far more difficult than conquering the world. God will give Qin such a state that lasts for more than 100 years. Isn't there a chance for a generation of fools?
What's more, the appearance of a person like Ying Ze in this generation has really exhausted Qin's luck.

There are too many countries that prospered because of one person, but also declined because of one person. It is impossible for Qin to escape such a fate. What's more, the appearance of Ying Ze has pushed Qin to a higher level. How many countries are built by him? Can people control it?Maybe this generation of King Qin can do it, but what about after that?
Prosperity must decline, this is the way of heaven. Ying Ze pushed Qin to its peak. After he leaves, Qin will inevitably decline, because he has done too much and is so good that he can't even imitate and maintain it. It's all an extremely difficult thing.

The opportunity Han Fei spoke of was also the result of these things, and it was indeed possible.

However, Xun Kuang knew that even if such an inevitable thing happened, the opportunity that Han Fei thought would never arise.

Because what the Six Nations are facing is Ying Ze, a man so cautious that he is abnormal!
He would kill all dangers that might escape his control in the cradle. He even asked Ying Ze back then, if Qin Ruo really ruled the world, how would he deal with the resentful people from the six countries?
Ying Ze's answer at the time was simple - kill.

People who don't know a single word only need to have enough food, let him see that they have a bright future, and they won't be in chaos. If there is resentment, or even wants to cause chaos, then there is no need to say anything, just kill it.

The most precious thing in this world is human life, and the least valuable thing is also human life. If one generation is killed, there will be the next generation, and there will always be peace.

As for the nobles and royal families of the Six Nations, if they are obedient and obedient, they will be fine, but if they have evil intentions, he will not give these people too many opportunities, just use the knife directly. Anyway, without them, there will be nothing too much. Great influence, the rich and powerful are always only a few people, while the country exists for the majority.

He is not a person who likes violence. If possible, he wants to solve all problems in a peaceful way, but once this peaceful way fails, and the other party even thinks it is weak, then there is no need to be gentle.

People are cheap, and the best way to deal with cheap bones is to break, crush, burn to ashes, and go with the wind.

"If you are going to South Korea to prepare for this reason, I won't say anything more, but I think you are more than that." After Xunzi was silent, he still asked his question. He could see that Han Fei had something to say. mind.

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from the teacher." Han Fei shook his head,

"I had another dream last night."

Xunzi closed his eyes, "What kind of dream?"

Han Fei seemed to be recalling, "When I woke up, I had forgotten the content of the dream, only to find that the tears on the pillow were still wet."

"Is it a sad dream?" Xunzi sighed slightly.

"Maybe, I don't know if they were tears of sorrow or the joy of realization..."

"You have gained another level of understanding, that's good." Xunzi seemed very happy.

"And I found that I seem to have been having this dream repeatedly..." Han Fei recalled the recent situation.

"If you have forgotten the content of the dream, why do you feel that you are having a repeated dream?" Xunzi asked again.

"Because... there is always a song in my dream that lingers in my heart." When Han Fei said this, his expression changed slightly.

"It's an indescribable beauty, and it seems very sad, very far away...and it seems very familiar..."

"Then how do you feel?" Xunzi still had the expression of no waves in the ancient well.

"When I heard this song, it seemed that my heart became clear and I thought about a lot of things."

After Xunzi heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he opened his eyes to look at Han Fei, "So, is this your reason?"

"..."

"I feel a call, it's time to go." Han Fei lowered his head.

Xunzi remained silent for a while, looking at Han Fei quietly, knowing that he had made his choice, "Okay!"

Han Fei kowtowed to Xunzi,

"The teacher's kindness in teaching karma and solving puzzles will be remembered by the disciples for life!"

"Let's go, Han Fei, don't have any regrets."

……

Before setting off, Han Fei had a conversation with Li Si, his fellow apprentice, and it was also a farewell.

Knowing that Han Fei was going back to Korea, Li Si felt complicated, both grateful and reluctant.

"South Korea is the weakest country among the Seven Kingdoms. It's a pity for my brother's talent." At this time, the two had not yet become rivals. Li Si still recognized Han Fei's ability and felt sorry for him.

Han Fei laughed at himself, "No way, that's my country, and it's also my home..."

"Being born in the royal family does not seem to be a lucky thing."

"Maybe, what about you? Any plans?"

Li Si looked at the calm lake, where he and Han Fei were reflected in the water.

"Senior brother is ten times more talented than me. He can challenge himself with the weakest one, but I can't. I can only follow my teacher to try my luck under the most powerful roof of the Seven Kingdoms."

"Are you going to Qin?" Han Fei glanced at Li Si.

Li Si was very frank, "Senior brother laughed, Li Si is more realistic."

Han Fei sighed, looked at the lake,

"Dreams are beautiful to say the least, but they are very fragile. It is better to be realistic."

……

……

At the same time, at the junction of Qin State and South Korea, a lonely black...a large carriage was galloping.

"Your Majesty, are you sure nothing will happen if you run out like this quietly?" Looking at Ying Ze who was resting on his lap, Chief Si Ming showed worry, and the black and white Shao Siming beside him was even more worried.

This time, Ying Ze took the three of them and sneaked out from Xianyang. Earlier, he said that he would take them to Yongcheng to worship their ancestors and have fun, but on the way back from Yongcheng, Yingze changed the way!

Bypassing Xianyang, he headed towards South Korea. Along the way, he met generals guarding the pass and told them not to reveal his whereabouts.

To be honest, they were panicked!
It's okay for Ying Ze to sneak out to play around, but the three of them are different!

Now the Yinyang family and even Xianyang City know that Dongjun and Moon God, who are now the protectors of the Qin Kingdom, are in trouble because of Luoyang Lord, and because Dongjun's cultivation has regressed before, Moon God has won Yingze's favor again. With a little help, the strength of these two people is now on par. Therefore, it is not once or twice because of Ying Ze's big fight.

It's just that no one can beat anyone now, so there is no stalemate, but...

Da Siming looked at the black and white Shao Siming who was also flustered, Dongjun and Yueshen were on par, but it didn't mean they were on par with the three of them!

The two yin and yang family bosses were pointing needles at Maimang, but the three little shrimps actually sneaked away. If Dongjun and Luna found out...do they still have the whole body?

And speaking of it, it seems that they were the ones who approached Ying Ze first because of evil intentions, this...

"Don't panic, I'm here, it's fine." Ying Ze patted the thigh under the head lightly,
"If the two of them use their status in the Yin-Yang family to suppress you, I'll ask Donghuang to ask you to come out, it's a small problem."

"Um..." X3
The three of them were speechless for a moment, Ying Ze's solution was really simple and rude.

As for whether it is useful or not, they don't doubt it. First of all, Donghuang's place, they all feel a little weird, their head teacher's attitude towards Ying Ze... Although a certain word is not appropriate, they still have That feeling - doting.

It's really doting. Donghuang will help him with whatever Yingze wants, and even the task assigned to Dongjun before, Ying Ze only mentioned to Donghuang, can you stop doing this?
Donghuang didn't even ask the reason, and agreed directly!
To them, the tall and mysterious Donghuang Taiyi in the eyes of all scholars, in front of Ying Ze, is just like... an old lady.

Moreover, Dongjun and Yueshen can fight so openly and aboveboardly because of Ying Ze's matter, Donghuang is helping, otherwise, with Ying Ze's lazy temper, he doesn't even bother to flirt deliberately, how could it be possible for Dongjun and Yueshen to fight? The two fought directly for him?

Also, if they really leave the Yinyang family, there is no doubt whether Dongjun and Yueshen will do anything to them. As long as they don't want to part ways with Yingze, they won't do such a thing.

"Then what are we going to do in Korea?" Xiaobai's young commander is also messed up. Anyway, Donghuang has made it clear to the two of them that if it weren't for Ying Ze, they would have already carried out the ceremony of changing the young commander.

There is a high probability that they are already dead, so the lives of the two of them directly belong to Ying Ze. If there is any accident... at least they have lived happily these few years.

"Three reasons." Ying Ze stretched out three fingers,
"First, kidnap someone for my eldest nephew."

"Abducting someone for the King of Qin?" Da Si Ming was stunned, who did Ying Ze want and had to run away by himself?Either let South Korea pay people directly, or let the net kidnap people directly, why is it so troublesome?
"Han Fei." Ying Ze stretched and sat up.

Some time ago, Han Fei's "Five Beetles" was completed, and Ying Zheng, who is a fan of Han Fei's books, immediately started reading it.

All of Han Fei's works add up to more than [-] words, and Ying Ze has read them too, but he has gradually felt the state of harmony between man and nature that Bei Mingzi said in the past few years. To be honest, that state is amazing , His mind was in a very special state, Han Fei could easily read the more than [-] words written in two hours.

"Five Beetles" is one of the most famous chapters in his articles. It is recorded in "Historical Records" that King Yingzheng of Qin at that time sighed after reading Han Fei's "Lonely Wrath" and "Five Beetles": "It's a pity, few people can see it." If you hang out with this person, you will die without regret!" (If you can meet this person once, even if you die, it will not be a pity.)
In "Nine Songs of the Sky", Ying Zheng even traveled thousands of miles to South Korea as the king of a country, just to meet the person who wrote this kind of article.Originally, I thought the animation was a bit exaggerated, but after reading this article and getting to know Han Fei, I deeply felt: it is not exaggerated at all.

The title of the article "Five Beetles" means the five kinds of moths in the country.In this article, Han Fei reveals the social changes in ancient and modern times, and clarifies that the idea of ​​rule of law meets the requirements of the times at that time.

If I had a title for this article in modern language, it would be: On the Objects of the Dictatorship of the Landlord Class.

If the country wants to be strong, it must implement dictatorship and expel these five types of people.

Confucians: People of the Confucian school, who use words to disrupt the laws and regulations, and confuse the monarch and the world.

Strategist: A talker who engages in diplomacy between countries, rhetoric, soliciting right and wrong, and easily provokes wars.A country cannot be strong through diplomacy, it must be strong through internal affairs.

Ranger: swordsman, assassin, gathering party members, serving the nobles, breaking the law.

Sufferers: Young and middle-aged people who are afraid of military service, and go to the family of powerful officials and nobles in order to escape military service.

The People of Illegal Businessmen: Manufacture defective goods and sell them to hard-working farmers to obtain huge profits.

Han Fei believes that these five types of people are the root of the country's chaos. If the country wants to be strong, it must get rid of these five types of people and implement dictatorship over them.

A professor once said that when reading Han Fei's articles, the weak nerves would make it difficult to read, and he would be very refreshed.When he first came up, he scolded the new and highly valued political strategists at that time as moths, and the Confucianists who were highly respected by later generations also became people who disrupted the law with words.

It's interesting to think that Han Fei learned from Confucianism Xunzi, and then criticized Confucianism in his own article... It's a bit interesting.

Han Fei knew Confucianism very well because he studied under Xunzi, so his criticism of Confucianism in his article was very sharp.Although Confucianism was highly respected in later generations, it was not valued very much during the Warring States Period at that time. It was the target of public criticism and was attacked by many people.

Confucianism promotes "benevolent government" and uses "benevolence" to govern and unify the world.But during the Warring States period, the rulers of various countries were busy annexing wars, thinking about how to defeat enemy countries and make their countries stronger.If the ruler governs the world with "benevolence", he will be absorbed by other countries.The "benevolent government" of Confucianism was useless at that time.

You may think that Han Fei's description of these people, especially Confucianists and political strategists, is a bit too much, but in the Warring States period, there was no unified ideological authority, and each school advocated and defended its own school, thinking that its own thinking is the best, and can Save the world and save the people.

Han Fei wasn't the one who said the most. Mencius's attack on other schools of thought was even more pungent and merciless.Mencius called Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan (both of whom were political strategists) "the way of concubines".Act according to other people's faces, and get a little benefit for yourself.Mencius even scolded Yang Zhu and Mo Di for "having no father and no king, they are beasts".

The Mo Di here is the Mozi among the hundreds of philosophers, that is, the Mohist in "Qin Shi Mingyue".Yang Zhu is the patriarch revered by the thousand-year-old evil sect "Quan Xing" in "Under One Man". His famous view is "everyone does not lose a cent, and everyone is not good for the world".

Of course, although Mencius's words were harsh, he did not blindly abuse him, but he had a sense of justice in defending Confucianism and the truth.In that era, it was common for various schools of thought to argue with each other, and there were no restricted areas or authority, and everyone could speak freely.

In "Tian Xing Nine Songs", Han Fei not only boldly dissed Confucianism and strategists in "Five Beetles", but also dared to recommend his own essays to Wei Zhuang, who is a strategist.This had a lot to do with the background of that era. Even if Wei Zhuang looked very upset, he couldn't do anything to Han Fei. He could only find a way to beat Han Fei in the debate.

I remember that in the animation, Wei Zhuang took the note "Five Beetles" left by Han Fei, and then obediently read this article.When I was reading, my eyebrows were not stretched, and Zi Nu who was watching was very curious.

After reading the article, Wei Zhuang took the wine bottle Zi Nu handed him, and finally stretched his brows a little. While drinking slowly, he talked about the situation of the Korean government in a leisurely manner. He was completely waiting to see how Han Fei, who was in a dangerous situation, would break through.To put it simply, he just sat on the sidelines and waited to see Han Fei's jokes.

He must be very dissatisfied with the remarks about political strategists, but he must also be shocked by Han Fei's talent.

Although the Warring States Period was very chaotic, the cultural field was unprecedentedly prosperous.Some envy that era, the author has no restricted areas and untouchable areas, individuals can choose different ideals, propositions and life paths according to their own wishes, and each live in their own ideal way.

Unlike modern times, where everyone pursues a high degree of similarity, those who are different are discriminated against, abused, slandered and belittled.Some people are overwhelmed at a young age because of these ubiquitous pressures around them, and even choose to commit suicide, while the living can also be said to appreciate these invisible things all the time, even if they see through themselves, they cannot reject the closest people I don't understand, and I am troubled by these from time to time.

Pulling away, let's talk about "Five Worms".The prose of the pre-Qin philosophers, starting from the quotation style of "The Analects of Confucius", has developed into a very mature argumentative essay by Han Fei.

"Five Beetles" is an argumentative essay with rigorous argumentation and progressive layers, and it is the most mature essay in the prose of the pre-Qin philosophers.The discussion is the most rigorous and mature.

Starting with the reasons why Youchao and Suiren were kings in the ancient times, briefly explain the establishment of King Yucheng in the Middle Ages and the establishment of Xia and Shang later, and compare them with each other, leading to his point of view: the sage does not expect to revise the ancients. , Illegality is always possible, and the affairs of the world are prepared for it.

The rulers do not expect to copy ancient laws or stick to old customs, but to formulate corresponding political measures according to the actual situation of the current society.

Han Fei believes that using the political means of ancient sage kings to govern the current people is like waiting for a rabbit and not knowing how to adapt. (The idiom of "waiting for a rabbit" was invented by Han Fei, and he also invented many other idioms and common idioms with allegorical properties) It is not advisable to blindly pursue the ruler's benevolence. Those who rule the world with "benevolence" believe that as long as the benevolent government is implemented, the world will submit.

This is too ideal.

This is the first argument of "Five Worms".

After explaining "the things of the world, because of the preparation", Han Fei then began to talk about the relationship between the number of people and the amount of money.In ancient times, there were few people, and natural resources were abundant, so there was no need for everyone to fight.But now there are many people and few products, so everyone competes with each other.

After talking about the struggles of ordinary people, Han Fei went up and began to compare the poverty of ancient virtuous kings with the affluence of today's county magistrates. Today's county magistrates are actually different in thickness."

In ancient times, the reason why the emperor abdicated the position of the emperor was because the king wanted to work tirelessly for the well-being of the world, but his own life was not very good.Now a small county magistrate can make a sedan chair when he goes out, so everyone is vying to be the county magistrate, let alone the emperor.

The reason is that the size of the actual benefits is very different.Therefore, the sage should formulate policies based on the actual situation of wealth and power.

In the Middle Ages, the kings practiced benevolence and righteousness, and then they had to submit to the world.But now, the king's benevolence and righteousness are destroyed by other countries, which further proves his point of view: benevolence and righteousness are used in the past but not in the present, and things are different in different times.Benevolence and righteousness can be used in ancient times but not today. The world has changed, things have changed, and the way of doing things has changed accordingly.

Then further demonstrate: In ancient times, morality was the focus, in the Middle Ages, resourcefulness was the focus, and today, strength is the focus.

In ancient times, people competed for superiority in morality. In the middle ages, people competed for superiority in intelligence. In today's society, people compete for victory and defeat in terms of strength.

Things change when the world changes, and things change when things change.

The social customs in ancient and modern times are different, and the political measures are also different.If you want to use lenient and gentle policies to govern the people in the era of drastic changes, it is like trying to harness a fierce horse without a rein and a whip, and it will cause unwise harm.

Practicing benevolent government does not make the world stable. The people always submit to power instead of benevolence and righteousness.

Today's scholars demand that the monarch can rule the world by exercising benevolence and righteousness. It is impossible for the monarch to be like the ancient sages and Confucius, and for the people of the world to be like the disciples of Confucius.

If a child does not learn well, no matter how parents, teachers, and neighbors try to comfort him, it will not work. But when he sees officials hunting down bad guys according to law, he will be afraid and start to get rid of bad habits.

People are always pampered when they are loved, and surrender when they see power.A wise ruler must always make strict legislation and use strict punishments, and the best rewards should be generous and always fulfilled, so that people have something to desire.It is best to impose severe and certain punishments, so that people are afraid.

From the clumsy summary above, everyone can see the characteristics of Han Fei's writing: fine and vigorous, steep and sharp, like Lufeng characters, with a kind of fierce and fierce spirit.

Strict and ungrateful, dare to speak out, analyze reality with cold and harsh eyes, and boldly expose the thoughts and behaviors of various characters.Undisguised, secretive, unscrupulous.

After elaborating the above viewpoints, it is the focus and center of this article, the five beetles.Han Fei pointedly pointed out how these five types of people (Confucians, Strategists, Rangers, Sufferers (deserters), illegal businessmen) harmed and threatened the dynasty's rule.The people of the five worms must be expelled, otherwise the country will weaken or even perish.

His essays are well-argued, whether it is the internal logical relationship or the external structural form, they are rigorous and thorough, with convincing power and momentum.

Han Fei often starts from one point, lists the facts first, provides sufficient arguments from ancient times to the present, and draws arguments from them.As soon as an argument is finished, it immediately turns to the next level of analysis, closely linked and summarized layer by layer, until the end.

Layers of progressive, eloquent, eloquent, coupled with Han Fei's sharp, sharp and sharp writing style, a fierce air rushed towards his face.He starts from reality, and his views are solid, in line with the real situation of history.Every sentence hits the point and makes sense. After reading it, it is like climbing a towering mountain, full of stamina.

No wonder Ying Zheng read "Five Worms" and said, "If I could meet this man, I wouldn't regret dying."

Yingzheng, as one emperor through the ages, was the first person to complete the unification of China. He is a monarch with super ruling ability and a very powerful person.Han Fei's theory is very suitable for his needs, suitable for the war-torn era of drastic changes.Yingzheng just needed Han Fei's theory to establish a highly centralized central political structure.

But too extreme, too authoritarian, too rough.

Han Fei's theoretical point of view is fast, precise and ruthless. In the era of drastic social changes, if you want to be strong and unified quickly, it is very useful in a short period of time and the effect is quick.However, it was too extreme, too authoritarian, and too rough.In that era, it could be effective in a short period of time, but if you want the country to have long-term stability, using Han Fei's theory alone can only lead to tyranny.

However, the Confucianism advocated by later generations to rule the world with "benevolence" is too ideal. Personally, I think it would be best if Confucianism and Han Fei's Legalism are in harmony.This is what later generations did. While ruling the country by law, they vigorously built spiritual civilization and political civilization.

(The above content is transferred from Zhihu Big Brother)
Ying Ze also had different ideas about Han Fei's supremacy of monarchy.

Although Han Fei spoke highly of the supremacy of monarchy and emphasized that the monarch should firmly hold power in his hands, he still despised the monarch in his bones, which could be described as quite arrogant.

There is a passage in "Say Difficulty" that translates like this: The monarch is like a dragon, he has a reverse scale under his neck, and if he touches it, he will eat people.Without touching his reverse scales, you can ride on him and control him, use your wisdom and theory to conquer those rulers and control them.

In "Nine Songs of the Sky", Li Si once said, "The talent of my brother is ten times that of me."

However, the "talent" here, Ying Ze only thinks it refers to talent, not ability.

Han Fei comes from a noble background, he can read a lot of books easily, and he is also easy to learn from teachers. He can be called a hard-working genius for his achievements, and he deserves the title of "son".

Li Si came from a low background, but he was able to climb to the position of prime minister in the Qin Dynasty. He may not be as talented and resourceful as Han Fei, but his ability to handle government affairs is definitely not inferior to Han Fei, and it is not surprising that he is stronger.

Han Fei has not been an official for a long time in history, and in "Nine Songs of the Sky" he is only a chief officer. Although it involves a small amount of other government affairs, such as disaster relief, how big is South Korea?

Not to mention Qin, which unified the world, Qin, which was not unified, was several times larger than South Korea. We all know that there must be a difference in the way of governing a county and governing a county, let alone a country with a larger territory.

However, in terms of structure, Li Si was really inferior to Han Fei. Li Si often only considered things from his own perspective, but his mind was not as big as Han Fei's.

But it can't all be blamed on Li Si, Li Si has no choice at all, who told him to be born in a poor family, disregarding himself, how can he change his destiny if he doesn't try his best?
Birth has a great impact on vision. Who wants to be an ordinary person who can be a prince.

In most places in this era, the starting point of the nobility is the end point that ordinary people cannot reach in a lifetime, and even the threshold of the starting point cannot be touched.

Or, this kind of class nature has never disappeared since its birth.

All in all, the two have their own strengths and weaknesses. If you have to compare each other... I can't tell, "Yu Liang for a while" may be a true portrayal of these two people, but who is Yu?Who is Liang?
But if you want to say which of these two people Ying Ze likes more...it has to be Li Si!Because Li Si understands reality, he has been faced with reality, unlike Han Fei.

Of course, Ying Zheng seemed to have an inexplicable relationship with Han Fei. Even with his teachings for more than ten years, Ying Zheng was as helpless to Han Fei as he was to a certain mermaid.

After watching the five beetles, Ying Zheng almost yelled to go to the Xiaoshengxian Village of Qi State to have a long talk with Han Fei all night, and what did he say to Ying Ze, Qin Guo has Ying Ze here, nothing will happen, he will go out There's nothing wrong with a lap.

To be honest, when Ying Zheng said this, Ying Ze's mood was extremely complicated.

LOL!He practiced martial arts at the age of three, studied literature at the age of four, joined the army at the age of seven, was forced to learn hundreds of schools at the age of 13, led the army alone at the age of 15, started writing books at the age of 20, and worked in the academy. Years of cattle and horses!
He hasn't even left the house yet!

That brat Ying Zheng!Do you still want him to watch the house and go out on your own?I want to fart!
So when Ying Zheng proposed to go to Xiaoshengxian Village to meet Han Fei, Ying Ze had a cordial and friendly exchange with him again after many years.

Then, the eldest nephew guards the house, if he wants someone, he will go.

"..." The big command, the black and white young command.

Why do you feel so resentful?

"Secondly, I invited Xunzi to come to the Academy to show my sincerity, so of course I have to come to meet him on the road in person." Ying Ze shook his head, not wanting to think about that ugly nephew.

"Sincerity?" Da Si ordered.

"Welcome?" Black and White Shao commanded.

Does this thing have anything to do with you?This is an excuse, right?
"..." Ying Ze felt a little vain in his heart. Could it be that his reason for being so righteous is still untenable?

"Ahem, thirdly, the atmosphere at home has become more and more weird recently, and my pile of books is almost done, so come out to hide and get some air..."

With that said, Ying Ze turned over again and buried his face in it.

"..." The big command, the black and white young command.

This is the real reason!
However, even though they thought this way, they didn't think there was anything wrong with Ying Ze hiding like this. It was because of Ying Ze's hard work in the past few years that they felt distressed.

Although it seems that Ying Ze didn't do much one by one, but the accumulation of small amounts of work, Ying Ze's workload is to such an extent that he can't even comprehend it!

He didn't know how he had so much to do.

First of all, there is the progress of mechanism techniques between the public loser and the Mohist school. Regarding the reclamation of wasteland, cranes, and the standard use of mechanism techniques, there are also some experiments with new gadgets, such as glass and porcelain. These things were proposed by Ying Ze Imagine, and then let the public loser and the Mo family do it. Of course, the public loser focuses on military affairs, and the Mo family focuses on civilian use, but these things are classified as confidential, and Ying Ze has been watching them personally.

Then there is rice cultivation, which can only be done by Ying Ze himself. The importance of food is self-evident, and there must be no problems.

Then there was the invitation from the academy and the various schools of thought, to persuade him that as the most educated person in the state of Qin, this could only be done by Ying Ze. Irrelevant.

There are also books, the adaptation of dictionaries, the compilation of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, and military books... Whenever he has time, he has to copy books with a brush.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yingze's workload and level of toil in the past few years is more painful than his senior year in high school in his previous life!

And because he is a great master, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a few days and nights.

Damn it!He has squeezed himself too hard in the past few years!

"I'm going to play in Korea for a few months, and no one will want me to go back!"

Originally, he thought that he could take a break after working in the military for more than ten years, but in order to write a book for himself and revise his name... Fortunately, he has the cultivation base of a great master, otherwise he would have died suddenly!
And now there are still a lot of people in Xianyang eagerly waiting for him to publish a book, there are still a lot of things about the academy, there is also the reorganization of the border defense system, and tax collection...

He is literally on the verge of crying now!What the hell? !He refused to be the king of Qin just because he didn't want to live such a life, but now he is no longer the king of Qin, and Ying Zheng is slowly taking over the government affairs, but he is in charge of all the things he has done by himself!
are you crazy!
Ying Ze suddenly discovered some time ago that he was probably ill!To find so many things for myself, no!too tired!
Liz!Han Fei!Zhang Liang!Xiao He!And Han Xin hiding in the farmhouse!
Qin State needs you!
The people need you!
The times are calling!
