Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 289 Xun’s daughter

Fu Nian asked himself, are he really ready?
Are Confucians ready?

The result of the question was very bad. He was very confident in himself, but not so confident in others.

The human heart cannot withstand trials and temptations.

Moreover, Confucianism itself is not peaceful. There are several major factions alone, and all they control is the Little Sage Village.

Even judging from Li Si's response, he didn't have a good grasp of the interior of Little Saint Xian Village.

Can such a small sage village and such Confucianism really take root in the court of a unified country?
Even taking root is only the first test, and then comes the real difficulty, the test of the human heart.

Will Confucianism degenerate?

Asking himself again, he didn't know whether Confucianism could maintain its purity in such a big dye vat.

"Junior Brother Haoran, how do you think Little Saint Xian Manor can survive in the future unification trend?"

Fu Nian lowered his goal, no longer to promote it, but to pass on the Little Sage Village so that it would not become extinct.

He even only talked about Xiaoshengxian Village, not Confucianism as a whole, because he could not represent the entire Confucianism, let alone manage it.

Li Si and Han Fei still listened carefully, and they couldn't say anything about such a heavy topic for a while.

Although they are talented and intelligent, after all, they are young and lack experience, so there are some things they cannot figure out. At this time, all they can do is listen carefully and absorb the wisdom crystals that can help them grow quickly.

"If the unification of the world is the inevitable result in the future, whether it is the Qin State that unifies the world and stabilizes it, or the remnants of the Six Kingdoms turn over and reignite the troubled times, and then kill a unique one, they will also unify the world.

There are only three choices that our Little Saint Village can make, either to fight against the national court, or to integrate into it, change its own ideas, cater to the emperor's thoughts, use the emperor's power to slowly penetrate and control the court, and finally depose hundreds of families. Respect Confucianism alone and become the only one.

The third is to return the Little Saint’s Village to its original purity and turn it into a place of pure academic exchange, and to always maintain its own purity. Once you leave the Little Saint’s Village, there will be no more exchanges. "

Tian Hao gave three routes, but these are the only three routes that can be taken.

However, although he is optimistic about Fu Nian, he is not optimistic about Confucianism, because Confucianism itself already has its own position, and it is impossible to change its position and abandon its interests.

Fu Nian cannot have the final say in Confucianism, not even Xunzi.

"Liss."

Fu Nian frowned and thought for a while, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he motioned to Li Si and asked him to speak first.

"The first point is that confrontation with the country is a dead end and is not advisable!"

Li Si made the first point, that is a dead end. Although Confucianism is one of the two major schools of thought in the world today, compared to the size of the country, it is still as weak as an ant.

No one would do such a self-destructive thing, at least not him.

Han Fei followed up and said, "I don't agree with the second point. Such Confucianism is no longer Confucianism. It makes me feel sick."

Although the second point has the highest probability of success and the best prospects, it will degenerate Confucianism.

If it really wants to happen like that, it is better to choose the first option and let Confucianism be destroyed.

Nodding, Fu Nian agreed with the two people's views, and he did not agree with that path.

"The third point has the best combined effect, but the resistance will be great."

After explaining his views on the third point, Fu Nian also knew that there were only these three paths, and the third one was better in comparison.

But there will still be a lot of resistance in doing it, and he even dares not say it out, otherwise not only will he be rejected by the Confucian factions, but his teacher will also be implicated.

“There are always trade-offs, and there is no such thing as a perfect solution.”

Tian Hao is also the most optimistic about the third path, but Confucianism does not have the conditions to implement it.

If Xunzi and Fu Nian could be ruthless enough to clean up all the factions of Confucianism and forcibly integrate them into one, they would still have a chance to save themselves.

Otherwise, it can only lead to destruction. At least in the future set by Tian Hao, there will be no Confucianism, and only Confucianism will survive.

"Little Saint Xian Manor is no longer pure, and there are not many truly pure people in it. Senior Brother Fu Nian should make plans early.

Although ideals are good, we live in reality after all and have to face reality. "

Finally, he reminded that he hoped that Fu Nian would eventually change and lead some pure Confucian scholars to come to Qin to develop Confucianism, but only within Confucianism, not Confucianism.

In the future he set, there are only various schools of thought, not hundreds of schools of thought, not even the Mohist school.

He had hinted to Master Six Finger Black Man many times during previous exchanges, and I believe the other party has figured it out and has done a good job in the past few years.

Fu Nian was still thinking silently, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Junior Brother Haoran is right, perfect things do not exist in reality."

Finally he sighed again, Fu Nian looked sad.

Even the teacher couldn't solve it, so he could only use the stupidest method to try to prevent Qin from unifying the world, let alone himself.

But it is not a good idea to fight against the Qin State, and the teacher suffered greatly.

The first time I went to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I lost the Tai'a Sword. The second time I went to the Qin State, I lost the even more precious Zhanlu Sword.

Although there are many famous swords in their Little Saint Xian Village, there are not many top-notch famous swords, especially the Zhanlu Sword.

Next time the teacher goes to participate in the attack on Qin, he doesn't know what the result will be, and his life may be in danger.

Without the teacher, the situation of Xiaoshengxian Village will be even worse and fatal.

So we must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Of course, it would be great if Qin failed to unify the world, or if the unified world was overturned and a new dynasty emerged.

There is no other way. The teacher has already attacked the Qin State twice and offended the Qin State to death. Once the Qin State dominates the world, there will inevitably be a settlement, and it will be difficult for the Little Sage Village to survive.

"Junior brother is more optimistic about Qin?"

Thinking of this, Fu Nian asked.

"What I value is the world. Let the chaos that has lasted for hundreds of years end as soon as possible. It doesn't matter who unified it."

Shaking his head slightly, Tian Hao naturally would not admit that he was optimistic about Qin. This was a matter of position in the Little Sage Village.

At the same time, I secretly sighed that Fu Nian was still trapped by Xiaoshengxian Village and Confucianism, making it difficult to break out and see the overall situation.

Being able to ask such a question just now, it is obvious that he is still rejecting Qin and does not want Qin to dominate the world.

In other words, there is a high probability that in the future, they will side with the anti-Qin camp and become their enemy.

However, this is fine. The more forces that are gathered against Qin, the more confident they will be. They will definitely jump out to cause trouble if they have the opportunity, and even a prince general Xiang Ning has the guts to rebel directly.

In this way, all enemies hidden in the dark can be attracted to the surface, and then they can be defeated in one fell swoop.

This will be much easier than playing cat and mouse in secret with the other party.

Li Si's eyes flickered on the other side, and he could faintly sense that something was wrong, but his expression did not change.

The four of them chatted for a while, and then returned to Little Sage Village together until the sun set.

After returning, the four of them went back to their rooms. Tian Hao seemed very casual, thinking back on the Confucian classics he had memorized in the past two days, and asking Wuming for advice from time to time.

Although Wuming has not studied Confucianism systematically, he has mastered the Confucian method of sitting and forgetting the mind and has a deep understanding of some Confucian concepts. It is not a problem to give simple guidance.

Compared with Tian Hao's casualness, the other three were not so good. Han Fei stared blankly at the bright moon in the night sky, thinking about ways to save and change South Korea.

Although he had thought about this many times before, today he had some insights from the words of Junior Brother Haoran, and he wanted to see if he could use this to come up with a new path.

"Ugh!"

After sighing for a while, Han Fei rubbed his forehead and was still helpless.

That would be a dead end, unless he could be ruthless enough to kill his father and ascend to the throne, and imitate his father's example of bloodbathing Xinzheng City, clearing out all opposition, and thus changing South Korea according to his own ideas.

But that doesn't suit me, and it's really difficult to think of another way.

Not to mention that the Qin State is watching covetously outside, and the Wei State is also very dissatisfied with them and South Korea.

A headache!
Li Si on the other side was also thinking about today's exchange. He became more and more identified with Senior Brother Haoran, became more confident in Qin, and the sense of mission in his heart became stronger.

He, Li Si, must go to Qin after completing his studies, not only to realize his dream, but also to end the hundreds of years of war as soon as possible and usher in peace for the world.Anyone who tries to stop him will be crushed into dust by him, no matter who he is.

Poor Li Si didn't know that what Tian Hao said today was also a plan for him. It was a kind of gradual inducement. Tian Hao even despicably used some mind-reading and inner demon guidance methods to further induce Li Si. The idea even gave birth to that sense of mission.

With this sense of mission, Li Si not only strives for his own ambitions, but also has a more lofty goal, and he will also be subtly changed.

Compared with Li Si's determination, Fu Nian was hesitant and it was difficult to choose.

He had always lived in his own ideals and had absolute confidence in Confucianism. He believed that as long as it was adopted by the emperor, he would be able to govern a country well.

But today, the words of that junior brother pierced the dream in my heart, letting the cold light of reality shine in. Although it was cold and biting, it was reality.

From the time Kong Sheng founded Confucianism to the present, none of the Confucian leaders in the past dynasties has been the king of a country. They cannot fully understand the mystery of that position. They can really govern a country well by just dreaming up the doctrines and concepts without practicing them. Especially the huge dynasty that unified the world?
Is Confucianism really the best doctrine in the world?

At this moment, Fu Nian felt unconfident and confused.

"Maybe the teacher was troubled like this before."

After thinking for a long time, Fu Nian sighed, still unable to come up with a solution.

"Learn to sigh at a young age, and be careful not to become a little old man like an old man."

A gentle chuckle sounded. Fu Nian turned around and saw that a woman had walked in, carrying a bowl of millet porridge.

Fu Nian's face showed tenderness when he saw the person coming.

The visitor was his fiancée Xun Cai, who was also the teacher's youngest daughter. Although she was nine years older than him, they had a good relationship and could even be considered childhood sweethearts.

"Is the teacher out yet?"

Fu Nian asked while taking the bowl of millet porridge.

After the teacher came back from Xianyang, he only said that he had new insights and wanted to retreat to try to break through, and then left the Little Saint's Village to himself to take care of, but did not say how long he would be in retreat.

He had not been out of seclusion for so long, which made him a little uneasy.

Although the teacher's cultivation level is very close to that of Confucius and Mencius, that step is not something that can be crossed just because you want to.

Compared with Master Kong Sheng and Mencius, the teacher's background is somewhat poorer. It will be difficult to break through, and it may even be accompanied by dangers.

If the Zhanlu Sword is in hand, the teacher may be able to break through, but now that the Zhanlu Sword is lost in Qin, it will be too difficult for the teacher alone to break through.

"The old man is in solitary confinement in Kongsheng Pavilion. Food and water are brought in through the passage of the agency. He can't see him in person. How do I know how long he will be in solitary confinement?"

Xun Cai was very depressed about this. When his father came back, he hurriedly left for seclusion without even saying hello to him. It was so annoying.

Kong Sheng Pavilion is the place where their Confucian founder, Kong Fuzi, once practiced in seclusion. It was built using the art of machine learning and contained many of Confucius' back-ups. It is also a refuge for their Little Saint Xian Manor. Even if a large army comes to attack, it will be difficult to break through. .

At the same time, it is also a forbidden area of ​​​​Little Saint Xian Manor, and no one except the head is allowed to enter.

"I hope I can break through smoothly!"

Fu Nian can only pray like this, hoping that the teacher can successfully break through and become the third sage of their Confucianism, so that many problems can be solved in new ways.

"What did you do today? You haven't seen anyone all day."

Xun Cai suddenly came forward and stared at his fiancé with his beautiful eyes.

She knew that her fiancé had gone to Songhai City to do business early this morning, but according to her calculations, he should be back before noon, but he did not return until nightfall, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body.

As a woman, her instinct made her feel something was wrong. Could it be that her husband went to such a place to hang out?

Thinking of this, a pair of red phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, showing the attitude of enforcing family law.

Seeing Xun Cai's appearance, Fu Nian instinctively shuddered and quickly explained: "I happened to meet Han Fei, Li Si, and Junior Brother Haoran chatting in Youjian Inn today, so I joined in to chat. Yes, I forgot the time for a while.”

This childhood sweetheart's fiancée is good at everything, but her temper is too strong and her cultivation level is too high. It can be said that he has been bullied since he was a child, and he has a psychological shadow.

"Is there a person named Haoran in our Little Sage Village?"

Xun Cai frowned slightly, Xun Cai was considered well-read and had a strong memory, and he was familiar with the people in Little Sage Village, but he didn't remember anyone named Haoran.

"He just came to visit our Little Sage Village a few days ago. He is quite talented and knowledgeable, and he has unique understandings on many things. It is thought-provoking and I have benefited a lot. This is an annotation of the Analects of Confucius written by him."

While explaining, Fu Nian found the Analects of Confucius for his fiancée to read.

"It's Qin Zhi."

Xun Cai took the book doubtfully, looked at it and found that it was made of paper. Although the quality was not good, it was a skill to obtain Qin paper.

Qin paper is paper sold by the Qin State, which is very convenient for writing and painting.

It's just that it's too expensive. She has spent almost all her money on buying that kind of Qin paper in the past two years.

"It is certainly not easy to have such talent and knowledge."

Fu Nian deeply agreed, which was one of the main reasons why he chose to receive him in person that day.

Being able to get paper to write on is in itself a proof of wealth and connections, so that you are qualified to join their little sage's manor.

"What an ugly word!"

After opening it and reading it, Xun Cai frowned again when he saw the text. It was so ugly.

"very good already."

Fu Nian said helplessly. He knew that his fiancée was very good at calligraphy and was very dedicated to it. Her calligraphy skills put even teachers to shame.

According to the fiancee's standards, except for her, everyone's handwriting is ugly, but in fact, junior brother Haoran's handwriting is quite good, at least it cannot be said to be ugly.

"It's ugly!"

Showing a domineering temperament, Xun Cai then looked at the content, especially the annotations behind each sentence of the Analects.

She didn't think much of it at first, but when she saw an explanation that was different from the usual, she became interested, and then she continued to read through all the notes that were different from what she knew.

"It doesn't look like they are from our Little Saint's Village."

After turning the last page, Xun Cai couldn't help but become a little interested in that Haoran.

At the same time, it can also be seen from the writing style that it is different from the inheritance of their Xiaoshengxianzhuang. It may be branched off from other factions of Confucianism.

"Including him may bring some new changes to our Little Saint's Village."

Nodding, Fu Nian thought so too, and at the same time he valued this new way of thinking.

Although their Confucianism is one of the two most prominent schools in the world, they have not had any innovations in doctrinal concepts for a long time. Even their teachers developed a theory based on Mencius’ concept that human nature is inherently good, and integrated some ideas from Legalism to create a new concept. A new road.

This is also the main reason why teachers are not as good as Confucius and Mencius. It is difficult to make a breakthrough.

In the past few years, he has also seen this flaw in Little Sage Village. The disciples are only seriously studying the ideas of the sages, but they rarely have their own ideas.

Junior Brother Han Fei originally had great talents and was highly praised by his teachers, but he was constrained by Korea. If he could not see through this, his future achievements would be limited.

Needless to say, Li Si's temperament tends to abide by the rules. He can learn Confucianism well, but it is difficult to innovate.

Now that Junior Brother Haoran is here, he may be able to bring some new changes to Little Saint Xian Manor.

This was also the main reason why he decided to introduce him to Xiaoshengxian Village that day.

"What did you talk about today?"

Xun Cai was even more curious. Did she know the pride in this little fiancé's heart? Especially in Confucianism, it was rare to be so optimistic about a person.

Even Junior Brother Han Fei didn't have such high praise and expectations.

"I mainly talked about the situation in the world and discussed the future of our Little Saint Xian Village..."

Fu Nian did not hold back and told everything he heard today.

Xun Cai listened carefully, and his expression became more and more solemn, and he even couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This is a very heavy topic in itself. Even earlier, the old man said that there would be a big disaster in Little Sage Village in the future.

Now this Haoran's words just confirmed what the old man said, and they were more specific, much clearer than the mysterious words the old man said.
