Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 268 The dispute between Confucianism and Legalism, the favor of the emperor (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
Kuai Tong was originally from Zhao. He had long heard about the bad reputation of Qin tigers and wolves, and was very resistant to Qin. He was always unwilling to help the people of Qin.

Kuai Tong envied the many virtuous men and academic halls in Qi, so he stayed in Qi as a guest.

But when the prince of Qin came to Linzi of Qi, he did many things that surprised and novel him.

Later, the Chu State also fell, and Emperor Qin soon ordered the world to cultivate and rest for three years.

After hearing this, Kuai Tong felt that Emperor Qin was not as cruel and ruthless as the rumors said.

And later, when Kuai Tong saw that the world was united, there was indeed no war, and the lives of the people began to improve.So Kuai Tong thought about it, how can there be people who do not shed blood if the world is unified?

But Kuai Tong can never forget the 40 dead souls in the Battle of Changping.

He also heard that Qin State had summoned famous people from all over the world, so he came to Qin State to find out.

When he arrived in Xianyang, he heard that after the unification of the Qin Kingdom, the crown prince supported Su and advocated reforms, and the Emperor Qin strongly supported the reforms in detail.

It is said that the Prince of Qin is young and energetic, and he thinks about reforming the old and making new things all day long.

Kuai Tong sincerely wanted to visit him.

Then came the rise of Taixue.

Kuai Tong came to Qin because he never forgot that he was once a Zhao person, and he also knew that Emperor Qin treated Zhao people very much.

So he disguised his identity, claiming that he was from the state of Qi, and wanted to find a senior official of the state of Qin who also came from the state of Qi to serve as his staff.

Kuai Tong searched all over and heard that Mao Jiao, a native of Qi, was worshiped as Shangqing because of his courage to speak out, so he lived under Tai Fu Mao Jiao's family as a guest.

Mao Jiao valued him, and he was recommended to this discussion.

But I never expected that the topic of this discussion turned out to be the abolition of Baijia.

Kuai Tong was naturally dissatisfied with this matter, so he spoke his mind.

Kuai Tong's outspoken speech in the hall was stopped by the sacrificial wine.

How could Kuai Tong not know that Li Si was originally very powerful in the court, and then look at the people who were placed in high positions today, all of whom were courtiers of the Qin State.

The courtiers speak out their mouths with golden words, but what does it matter if common people like them just follow the trend and become vassals?
Look at this Imperial College. Compared with Jixia Academy, it looks like a court.

Kuai Tong's face changed color immediately, but the attendant stood behind him to remind him.

"Mr. Kuai, please be careful what you say, otherwise you will go to the Qing Dynasty..."

After hearing this, Kuai Tong naturally chose to endure.He is a disciple of Mao Jiao, so he should not cause trouble to Mao Jiao. Not only that, Mao Jiao also gave him an opportunity that ordinary people would never get to enter the Imperial Academy and discuss with hundreds of celebrities.

It is not the husband's fault to cause trouble for those who appreciate and promote him.

Moreover, he has not yet decided whether to serve Emperor Qin, so it is better to keep his mouth shut and avoid causing trouble.

But as soon as he endured it, his momentum began to lose.

Zhou Qingchen was so unhappy.

Li Si was in charge of the Imperial Academy, and from the beginning his buttocks were tilted towards the ministers in the court.

Chunyu Yue looked at Kuai Tong, whose face turned pale with anger, and then looked at other celebrities.

If these people were in Jixia Academy, they would occupy their own area around the square fence and discuss right and wrong with reason and evidence.

But now, not only are they at the bottom of the Imperial Academy, but they all have a look of fear on their faces.

All the celebrities in the hall shook their heads.

Chunyu Yue couldn't help but be disappointed with this list of hundreds of schools of thought.

But Taixue is Taixue, and Jixia Academy is Jixia Academy. They are different after all.

Chunyu Yue thought about what he had to do here today, and thought about the fate of the Confucian sect in the future, Chunyu Yue suddenly spoke.

"I wonder what the point of hundreds of families gathering together today is?"

Li Si didn't expect that Chun Yuyue chose to speak out at this time.

Li Si's expression became slightly more humble.

"Naturally, we will discuss the art of unification for His Majesty the Emperor."

The eyes of the crowd were sharp, and it could be seen that Li Si was very respectful to this doctor.

This also invisibly raised the status of Confucianism a lot.

Chunyu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

"Since it is a joint discussion, we should let all the guests speak freely. This little brother named Kuai just said what he felt, so what's the matter?"

Zhou Qingchen's face turned pale when he heard this.

Chunyu Yue was obviously protecting Kuai Tong.

But he was a Confucian, so Chun Yuyue slapped him in the face by speaking openly for a political strategist in the opposition.

Li Si frowned immediately when he heard this.

"Chun Yu Pu She, the authority of His Majesty the Emperor cannot be offended by anyone."

Chunyu Yue remained calm and continued stroking his beard:
"As far as the old man understands His Majesty the Emperor, since His Majesty ordered hundreds of schools to gather in Taixue, it is by no means to abolish our schools. Since Jijiu and I were ordered to preside over the discussion of the Hundred Schools, can this gather the key points of the Hundred Schools?" , the art of unification is still a thing. But I think that we should not misinterpret His Majesty the Emperor's intention first. Li Jijiu, what I said is correct, right?"

Li Si's expression was even more solemn.

"No one dares to misinterpret His Majesty's wishes. Those who follow the law and disobey His Majesty's orders will be punished by death."

This is neither a light nor a serious statement, but it is extremely intimidating.

The water where a hundred schools of thought were discussed is not one ten thousandth as deep as the turbulent water in the court.

Li Si had already predicted before coming that in the struggle among hundreds of schools of thought, the biggest enemy of Legalism was Confucianism.

Li Si noticed that Chunyu Yue's fate after becoming a Confucianist had already begun to change.

Chun Yuyue is Confucianism, but he, Li Si, naturally wants to stick to Legalism.

Li Siwei felt that this battle without any beacon had just started, and there was a result.

He, Li Si, will always stand on the same side as His Majesty the Emperor, so the Legalists must win this debate.

Li Si smiled.

"Chunyu Pushe is a well-known scholar in the court. Since Pushe only spoke now, he must have a higher opinion than us. Li Si and everyone in the hall are all listening."

At this moment, all the Legalist disciples opposite Chunyu Yue cast hostile glances at him.

There was a sudden tension in the hall.

Confucians and Legalists were the most numerous, and they all served in the court, with extraordinary status.

When two families sit opposite each other, their original intention is to oppose each other.

The people in the hall naturally understood it too.

It is said that hundreds of schools of thought gathered together, but no one can deny the reality. In the court of Qin, Legalism was the dominant one, followed by Confucianism.

But other schools of thought don’t even have half a seat.

Talking about a hundred schools of thought, it seems like a dispute between Confucianism and Legalism.

And it was Qin Huang who kept provoking.

Chunyu smiled more and more.

"Li Jijiu has a long history of learning from ancient times to the present, and he has a wealth of anecdotes. Even His Majesty the Emperor often praises Jijijiu. When it comes to knowledge, I, Chunyu Yue, dare not take the lead."

"Chunyu Pushe is being humble. Time is pressing, so please give me a clear explanation."

Li Si urged, and Chunyu widened his sleeves.

"His Majesty the Emperor desires the art of unification, and since there are so many schools of thought in the world today, it is indeed unusual for him to establish his own sect. However, since His Majesty the Emperor has recruited celebrities from all over the world to gather in Xianyang, he means to put them to good use."
