Chapter 579: When Humanity’s Stars Shine (please subscribe!)

"Have you read The Analects of Confucius?"

"Have you heard of "Spring and Autumn"?"

"Have you seen "Yi Zhuan"?"
-
In the elegant house of the Yiguan, on the sixth day when Kong Yu, the eighth grandson of Confucius, arrived in Linzi.

A young Qin Shi couldn't help teasing the descendant of Confucius.

As a tiger guard of the Qin State, he actually guarded the famous descendants of Confucius. Read less of Shang Jun's books and read more. Han Fei said that in the eyes of Qin people, Confucianism was a heresy.

"Why did you, sir, refuse to come to Linzi before, but now you come to Linzi city?"

"In the face of rumors, only action can dispel them."

The soldier stroked his beard, saying this was the same as not saying it.

"I heard that your husband lived in the State of Wei before, and the State of Wei was at war with our State of Qin. Why didn't your husband come forward at that time? Your husband neither helped the State of Wei nor our State of Qin. At that time, you also stayed at home and played the piano. "The soldier stroked his beard.

"In my opinion, Confucianism can only boast and deceive people. The idea of ​​governing the country with a unified family is just a lie."

When everyone saw that Kong Yu's face turned dark, they were very happy and prepared to leave.

But other Qin scholars also noticed that Kong Kun's eyebrows were always stretched and his palms were open. He was still as gentle and polite as before.

The soldier's hair and eyebrows suddenly stood up, and his fists clenched tightly.

Kong Kun smiled at first, and then said to him, "I have never heard that King Zhaoxiang is a soldier."

Kong Yu sat on the mat and looked at the Qin soldier with a bun on the left side in front of him. He had a big black spot on his face.

For example, the man surnamed Chen who is currently living in Jixia Academy is Kong Kun's good friend.

The young and anxious Da Qin scholars, after seeing that the descendants of Confucius were really well-educated and polite, then looked at themselves squatting and putting their arms around each other, and they all felt that their behavior was very bad.

So he simply sat down on the mat and said these two sentences to Kong Yu.

Because the other party was too noble and polite, it made these guys who don't like to be polite and etiquette unable to help but have bad intentions.

It is this mentality that allows him to win the respect and understanding of those around him, and also attracts many famous people.

So a hundred years ago, everyone sat around Confucius and asked humbly. A hundred years later, the Qin scholars gathered around the descendants of Confucius and laughed at them.

Kong Yu often said this to the outside world.

"Hmph - Confucius is a fool, and his descendants are liars."

The good friend Chen Yu said he wanted to invite back then was him.

But as a true descendant of Confucius, Kong Kun had long overcome these things.

The anger on his face eventually turned into unwillingness and grievance, and his clenched fists slowly relaxed, but his erect eyebrows never lowered.

"A gentleman should wait quietly when the time comes, retreat to cultivate his character, and cultivate his virtue through frugality. When the time comes, he should come out."

But Kong Yu suddenly drew his sword.

Kong Yu was surrounded by Qin people, but he was not afraid or showed any impatience.

The prince often said, don't be angry, whoever gets angry first will lose.

If a gentleman does not come out at the right time, he will only hurt himself. Besides, if I go out, I'm afraid many of you Qin people will die under my sword.

"What are you going to do? Are we going to report it to the prince?"

This makes Kong Yu look like an old cat whose tail has been stepped on. He only dares to meow in a low voice, but in fact he has no ability at all.

This outstanding Great Qin scholar, as a Huben Guard, had heard many stories about the Crown Prince and had seen many famous scenes in Fusu.

If this man hadn't been the crown prince's guest, he would have killed him.

"You are not the queen of King Zhaoxiang, let alone King Zhaoxiang. Why are you asking about this matter?"

At this time, other great Qin scholars also came over one after another, teasing Confucius' descendants so that they could brag after they returned.

The soldier saw his fearless and indifferent attitude.

More importantly than this, he is Kong Yu.

As a descendant of Confucius, a universally praised sage, Kong Kun has been burdened with many things that ordinary people envy since he was born, such as family background and reputation. Of course, he also inevitably carries many heavy burdens, such as the expectations of others in the eyes of outsiders. , his moral requirements.

Qin Shi laughed heartily.

Kong Yu chuckled and didn't care about the soldier at all.

Kong Yu was born tall and powerful, equipped with a long sword.

Kong Yu was really startled when he heard this.

Another great Qin scholar couldn't help but ask, "I heard that when the Confucian master Xun Qing came to our country of Qin, King Zhaoxiang treated him with courtesy, but did not reuse him. Why is this?"

The soldier with the dark spots on his face looked confused, "I am not the Queen of Zhaoxiang."

Kong Yu thought to himself.

He never cared about his family background, he just thought that he was just the direct grandson of Confucius.

Anyway, after going round and round, it’s finally here.

But when Kong Kun raised his head and looked at him again, his eyes had completely changed. From being perfunctory just now, he became full of anger.

After all, Kong Yu was tall and mighty. He drew his sword and was furious, which made these Qin soldiers tremble.

Kong Yu looked around at the few prawns in front of him and asked very coldly.

"Have you read The Analects of Confucius?"

"Have you heard of "Spring and Autumn"?"

"Have you seen "Yi Zhuan"?"

These Qin scholars suddenly trembled and leaned back.

These proud Qin scholars all turned red in the face under Kong Kun's three consecutive questions.

"We are not Confucian people, so why are we reading this?"

"We are from Qin. We just need to understand the law."

These answers are as breathy as gossamer and sound like mosquitoes.

On the other side, Kong Yu's momentum became stronger and stronger, and the oppressive tiger guards, all tall and strong, hugged each other.

"No, right? Since it's not! Why do you say that!?"

Kong Yu stared at the few people in front of him. The turbulent momentum scared them so much that they all bent down and bowed like prawns.

"Don't be angry."

The Qin scholars were indeed afraid. Because Kong Kun used his momentum and behavior to tell them what a real Confucian scholar looked like.

"We were wrong. You are a real Confucian. We have seen many fake Confucians before, so we have no good impression of Confucianism."

"I just hope that you can discipline those Confucian scholars who come out to show off their skills."

"Yeah, yeah, we must vent our anger. They have done us terrible harm. We are killing people in front, and they are slandering us behind."

The Qin scholars were very angry. In order to support the young and old at home and realize their ideal of unifying the world, there would be no more wars in the world. It's not easy for them.

Kong Yu still had a frown, not the slightest bit afraid of these Qin scholars, and the Qin scholars around him were also infected by Kong Yu's fearless aura.

"I just asked you a few questions, and you now say that I am a true Confucian scholar. You have not even read a single Confucian classic, so how can you say that I am a true Confucian scholar?"

Kong Kun looked down upon them, Qin scholars who were arrogant at first but respectful at the back.

"I heard that what kind of general will bring out what kind of soldiers. If you observe the behavior of people like you today, you can know what kind of person the general is leading you."

The Tiger Guards looked at each other in shock.

"Please forgive us, sir, and don't tell the prince these things." "Sir, I don't know. Although we were in the palace in the past, we saw many more Confucian scholars than we did in Qi. Those false Confucian scholars, they saw us , Howling in all kinds of ways, very humble, not at all proud of you. "

"You are not afraid of us all alone. But when we are in Xianyang Palace, a group of Confucian scholars treat me as a person, but they respect me."

Kong Yu said with a smile, "My son, Zhang, is a humble scholar! There is no need to be afraid of these people. They will not become great in the future."

After hearing Kong Kun's words, these people naturally became more respectful to him.

Because when they saw Kong Kun, they immediately thought of the current fifth doctor. That's right, Zhang Cang used to be like this in the palace, disdainful of being associated with villains and humble scholars.

"For a wise man like you, the prince will definitely recruit you in the future. I just hope you can promise not to tell anyone what happened today."

"We also saw that you came to the elegant residence of the post house. Every day you are either playing the piano or reading a book. How boring such a life is. We just want to make you happy, sir."

Kong Yu only found it interesting that these Qin soldiers were trembling with fear because they discovered that they... looked like sages.

"Yes, I have always heard that Confucius is very powerful. But we have never heard of what the descendants of Confucius have done. It is because we are too blind to see the mountains. Now we know that the descendants of Confucius are worthy of being the descendants of Confucius. ah!"

"Yes, you are the real Confucian scholar."

Kong Yu just shook his head, "In the past, people listened to their words and believed their actions; but people today listen to their words and watch their actions. You just listened to a few words from me, and you believe me. . This is not the way to identify a gentleman. You must listen to his words and watch his actions.”

When these Qin scholars saw Kong Kun, they immediately changed their attitude towards Confucianism.

They began to sit next to Kong Yu.

"If half of the Confucian scholars in the world were wise men like you and the fifth doctor, the reputation of Confucianism would be much better than it is now."

When Kong Yu heard this, he felt that his heart was like a flat lake where someone had thrown a stone into it. Now it was rippled and he couldn't calm down.

This Qin scholar is willing to understand Confucianism and recognize Confucianism; why, as a Confucian scholar, does he have such a hostile attitude towards Qin?

A gentleman cannot do this.

These people asked Kong Kun again and again if he would tell Prince Qin these things.

Looking at these Qin scholars who were arrogant at first and respectful at the end, Kong Kun answered them seriously, "No one is a sage, and no one can have any faults. If you can correct your mistakes, you can do great things. I don't care about these things."

These Qin scholars thanked Kong Kun and prepared to go back and stand guard one by one.

Kong Yu thought that these people had been saying that he was a wise man and the prince would definitely recruit him.

Kong Kun asked them, "What kind of person is your Lord Hengyang?"

This group of Qin scholars came to their senses.

One person said, "The prince wants the water in this river to turn from turbid to clear."

Kong Yu lowered his head, "Your prince is doing the right thing."

Another young soldier stood up and said, "The prince, like the king, hates the corrupt and greedy nobles, and hopes that hardworking and kind people will get their due rewards."

Kong Yu heard this and said with admiration, "You are such a kind soldier!"

For a man with dark spots on his face, he wanted to do something different. From now on, Kong Yu, this man, will probably become a great person in the Qin State.

"This has to start with the king. The king's achievements are unprecedented and unprecedented. The prince wants to take over the king's career, and he also wants to do better than the king. Therefore, the work the prince has to do is immeasurable. "

Kong Yu listened and said seriously, "Being an overlord is easy. But being a wise king is very difficult."

"What's the point? If you know our prince, you will know that nothing is difficult in this world."

"Oh?"

"Then you don't know. Our prince has never failed to brag since he was born, and he has never lost a battle!"

"On the day the prince was born, colorful auspicious clouds rose over Xianyang City..."

These soldiers gathered around Kong Yu to praise their prince. It's just that the direction of this praise gradually moved towards a point beyond their control.

"The prince stayed in Shouchun at night and saw in his dream that there was a towering Buddha in the south of Nanjun. The Buddha said: There is a star in Peixian County, named Xiao He. If you can get this wise man, in the future the prince can lie in the palace and do nothing, and the world will be natural. Peace."

"It's not just that. The prince went on a hunting trip to Shanglin Garden and met a divine dragon..."

Kong Yu listened quietly, with fine lines appearing on his forehead and sweat on his palms.

At this time, a certain prince of the Qin State was reading chess records in the Yashe. As the most commonly used entertainment game among nobles, although status determines the outcome. But history told him that once those in power are trapped in high positions, they may not be able to clearly see their own strength.

Fusu took advantage of his free time to concentrate on studying the chess records.

And his loyal tiger guards described Fusu from a person to a god, and then involuntarily added all kinds of bizarre stories about this god.

Kong Yu gradually raised his brows as he listened. Of course, sweat was already pouring down his back.

Fortunately, General Meng Tian passed by and rescued him, "Sir, don't be offended."

Kong Yu was sweating profusely when he heard that, "Are all the soldiers around Prince Qin like this?"

Meng Tian originally looked serious and stern, but after hearing this question, he paused. Meng Tian told Kong Kun in a low voice, "Basically only the soldiers under Weiwei Liu Ji are like this."
-
Soon, Jixia Academy will hold a gathering of scholars and hundreds of schools of thought that all scholars in the world can attend.

As soon as the Confucius and Mencius families arrived, the Mohists also came one after another.

Momen is the only school that Fusu sent people to specially invite.

After Mozi's death, the Mohists were divided into three schools: Xiangli's Mohism, Xiangfu's Mohism, and Dengling's Mohism.

In order to find the leaders of these schools, Fusu spent considerable effort.

Many people say that the Mohist family disappeared after the fall of Qin. In fact, the Mohist family continued until the Six Dynasties. But in this process, the Mo family's voice became weaker and weaker.

In fact, the Mohists were absorbed into official offices by various countries, and some of them disappeared among the people. Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mohists had always been the most practical and practical. Do what you say you will do. This kind of faith-based spirit will probably be admired by Confucius even in his lifetime.

The most famous story is that of murdering a child in his belly.

The Mohist school calls those who have achieved great achievements in the Mohist school "Juzi". Once upon a time, there was a very famous Mohist son called Fu. He lived in the state of Qin, and his son killed someone.

King Qin Hui said: "My husband is old and has no other sons. I have ordered the officials not to kill him. You must listen to me on this matter."

Fu replied: "The Mohist law stipulates: 'Those who kill should be put to death, and those who hurt others should be punished.' This is to prohibit killing and hurting others, which is the righteousness of the world. Although the king takes care of this matter, he does not let the officials do it. To kill him, I have to enforce the laws of the Mohist family."

Fu did not agree to King Qin Hui, so he killed his son.

This incident was specifically recorded in the Mohist classics. Sons are favored by people; if you have the heart to cut off your favorite son and pursue righteousness, you can be called selfless.

The spirit of the belly represents the spirit of the entire Mohist family to a certain extent.

All Mohist disciples follow the Mohist rules as iron laws, which are very strict.

When Fusu learned about this classic story for the first time, he was very emotional, because even under the guidance of later generations of religion, few people could do such a thing. But among the Mohist disciples, there are many such disciples.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mohist family was also very active.

Mozi originally studied under Confucianism. Later, because he was dissatisfied with the hierarchical hierarchy that Confucianist Xiao tried to restore, he broke away from Confucianism and founded his own school.

Although his ancestors were nobles, Mozi was the only philosopher of civilian origin in Chinese history. As a commoner, Mozi worked as a shepherd boy and learned carpentry in his youth.

According to records, his ability to make city defense equipment was even better than that of Gongshu Ban.

Because of his ability, he is more worthy of respect than those leaders who can only preach verbally.

Mozi called himself "I" and was called "a man of common people"

Mozi was a scholar who had considerable cultural knowledge and was relatively close to workers and peasants. He boasted that "there is nothing for the emperor to do above, and there is no difficulty for farmers below." He was a person who sympathized with "farmers and workers." "Taxi man.

At that time, all the scholars clearly distinguished themselves from industry, commerce, and agriculture, as if other people were soil and they were high clouds. However, Mozi took the initiative to approach craftsmen, became craftsmen, and helped farmers.

After establishing Mohism, Mozi and his disciples finally abandoned Confucianism and established a new theory. He gathered people in various places to give lectures and criticized Confucianism and the tyranny of various vassal states with fierce words.

Because of what Mozi advocated and what he did, he quickly attracted a large number of craftsmen and lower-class scholars. They began to follow Mozi, gradually forming the Mohist school and becoming the main opposition to Confucianism.

[Everyone, hang on and get through this. I am also very confused whether to cut off the preparations before the great unification. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that once the author is unstable and eager for quick success, the book will lose its flavor. It’s better to just start writing nonsensical and enjoyable articles. I hope readers understand.

When Chen Ping gets it, he can launch a full-scale counterattack. It will be wonderfully written, don’t worry! 】
