Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 670 Gu Xun’s guilt

Xianyang Palace, the eldest son's mansion.

After the New Year, Fusu's salary was also improved. Now he has his own young master's mansion, which is located in the palace city. The location, environment, scale and design have not been selected.

Judging from some palace news that Gu Xun occasionally heard, Ying Zheng has always been more doting on his younger sons, and is much more serious and harsh towards his eldest son. However, upon closer inspection, he finally repaid Fusu. High hopes.

Gu Xun is currently in this young master's residence, chatting with his cheap student Fusu.

"Teacher, is Mr. Fu Nian already here?" Fusu asked, sitting on the couch and blinking his little eyes.

Gu Xun slumped to one side, waved his hand casually and replied, "We're here, we're here."

"It's estimated that in two days, when everything is settled, it will be time to start teaching you."

Experts from hundreds of schools of thought travel around the world and give lectures to people, which can be considered a traditional skill. However, in the past, they mainly talked with the monarch. Now it is basically difficult to persuade a country to change its governance policy with words, so we simply change channels. The main focus is now on giving lectures to the next generation.

"Oh..." Fusu nodded, and then asked, "Teacher, I heard that the Confucian Mr. Fu Nian is strict and rigid. Isn't he very strict?"

Gu Xun still replied feebly in a high-pitched tone, "Fu Nian... Anyway, I think you and him should be quite compatible."

"Is that so..." Fusu muttered softly, hesitating about what he wanted to say but couldn't.

Gu Xunda glanced at him and said angrily, "What do you want to ask? Just ask directly. Don't be timid."

"Oh!" Fusu responded quickly, and then asked hesitantly, "Teacher, I remember that you don't seem to like Confucianism very much. Why did you help me ask my father before..."

Gu Xun pondered for a while and then replied calmly without hiding anything, "In this case, it will be useful for me to find Fu Nian."

"Secondly, I don't like him very much, but I think it's pretty good after you get to know him better."

"Not bad?" Fusu looked at the teacher puzzled.

Gu Xun asked, "What do you think of Confucianism?"

"Uh..." Fusu raised his head slightly and thought for a moment before replying, "Confucianism emphasizes etiquette, rules, education, and personal cultivation, which is virtuous government and benevolent government."

"Well..." Gu Xun was noncommittal about Fusu's answer and said to himself, "None of this is important."

"Ah?" Fusu was a little confused.

"The knowledge of Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and Taoism, no matter which one, is the knowledge of governing the world. It is not something that superiors should learn. It is good to understand it." Gu Xun explained, spreading his hands.

"Then...then I..." Fusu was a little confused. There was no need to learn, so what should I learn?

Gu Xun could see his doubts, but he didn't give any answer.

Anyway, he felt there was nothing to learn, just a general understanding would be enough. As for the ability to handle state affairs, it depends on whether Ying Zheng gives Fu Su the power to supervise the country's political affairs. This kind of thing requires practical training. You will definitely not understand it by reading a book. .

Gu Xun continued, "I think you should get in touch with and understand some of the theories of hundreds of schools of thought. It just so happens that I need them too, and so do you. Killing two birds with one stone."

The doubts in his heart were not answered, so Fusu could only respond casually, "Oh..."

Gu Xun looked at the silly student, sighed suddenly, and asked softly, "Fusu, if one day I harm your interests, what will you think?"

"Ah?" Fusu was even more confused and asked, "Teacher...do you need me to help you with anything?"

"No..." Gu Xun slowly shook his head, but then stopped, "That's right."

"I hope you can become a qualified monarch in the future." He added an attribute in his heart - in my opinion, a qualified monarch...

Because it was a teacher and student chatting privately, Fusu did not shy away from the issue of the future throne. He pursed his lips and smiled, "I also hope that I can become a qualified monarch, just like my father."

Gu Xun just smiled bitterly and said nothing.

He felt that he was a little sorry for Fusu. He was arranging his own plans and planning Fusu's life, but he did not consider the thoughts of his student.

Although this child has a kind nature, after all, he is not a living Buddha who can cut his flesh and feed it to eagles. He is a human being who has and should have his own ideas.

But according to his plan, this child should be a saint without selfish desires...

The Holy Emperor hangs his head and governs the world... Regarding Confucian matters, maybe my selfishness is more serious than I thought.

"Okay, just wait for the new teacher with peace of mind. If you need anything, just send someone to find me." Gu Xun clapped his hands, resumed his free and easy behavior, stood up and left.

"Teacher, let me see you off." Fusu quickly followed.

"No need." After Gu Xun waved his hand to refuse, he suddenly smiled and said, "I will leave the capital again in a few days and go to Shu County. Is there anything you want me to bring to you?"

"Uh..." Fusu scratched his head and replied with a silly smile, "Students don't know much about Shu either, so they don't want much."

"Then I'll bring you something interesting back later." Gu Xun thought for a while and realized that he didn't know what specialties Sichuan and Sichuan had in this era, so he skipped the details for now.

Finally, Gu Xun said, "When I come back, I will also give you lessons."

Fusu nodded happily and said, "Okay!"

For so long, although Gu Xun had been his teacher, he had only taught him martial arts and some superficial medical skills, so his coursework was naturally non-existent.

Every time the teacher and student met, they mostly chatted. He and Gu Xun talked about his daily life in the palace, while Gu Xun talked to him about things outside the palace, especially interesting anecdotes about the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.

The relationship between the two is getting closer, but it is no longer a teacher-student relationship.

This time Gu Xun said that he would teach Fusu a class. Although he didn't know what class he would attend yet, it still made him excited and looking forward to it.

Gu Xun looked at Fusu who was slightly excited, with a smile on his lips, and left immediately.

………………

In the hotel, after Fu Nian sent Chun Yuyue away, he ordered many disciples to start packing up, then returned to the room, started another conversation with Yan Lu, and recounted the situation of Gu Xun's previous visit.

"Gu Xun deliberately facilitated our coming to Qin, which shows that he should be sure that you, junior brother, will take this opportunity to come to Xianyang."

"But at present, it is still unclear what kind of thoughts he has towards you, junior brother. If you are invited to go to the National Preceptor's Mansion, it may be in danger, so junior brother, what do you think?"

Although they are now guests from afar and are still invited to give lectures to Master Fusu, a student of Guxun, this does not mean that it is necessarily safe to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion.

In Fu Nian's view, Gu Xun was too dangerous and elusive, and the risk of contacting him rashly was too high... especially after knowing that he had killed more than 2,000 farmers.

However, he still left the decision-making power to Yan Lu.

Fu Nian wants to be on the safe side when doing things, but as the head of the Confucian School, he is not timid. The purpose of coming here is the Imperial Master's Office, and he will not give up directly because of some possible risks.
