Daqin: Confucianism, Law, and Taoism

"Gongzi, this is today's pilgrimage."

A four- or five-year-old child, carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, came to Huan Wei and said respectfully.

Huan Wei sat at a stone table, motioned for the child to put down the bamboo basket, he lifted the bamboo basket, smelled the fragrant food inside, and praised

“...... The fat man in an inn has recently improved his cooking skills, and the taste alone is appetizing. "

The young child smiled and said, "... Uncle Ding's craftsmanship is better than before, especially the grilled fish..."

After speaking, he noticed that something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

Huan Wei looked at him with a smile and said, "... It seems that you have finished eating at Fatty Ding's place. "

Zi Yan's expression changed, and he lowered his head: "... Uncle Ding made too much grilled fish, so he gave me one to eat, and I used the pilgrimage food before Gongzi, hoping that Gongzi would atone for his sins. "

Huan Wei said lightly: "... Go back and kneel down to review it yourself, and memorize a few Analects, then I will have someone come and check it. "

"Now, you should go to class first."

Zi Yi quickly said respectfully, "... Here! "

After that, Zi Yi retreated and left to prepare to go to the academy to study.

This young child is the scholar of Huan Wei, that is, the son of Hei Bai Xuanxuan.

Black and white Xuanxuan was once just a thief and had no surname, and this child inherited the Wei family surname, named 缭, and because he is now studying in Confucianism, he is called Ziyan.

Although the etiquette in this Warring States era is broken, there is one etiquette that must not be abolished, that is, the gift of nobles and commoners.

As a modern person, he was also a little unaccustomed to it at first, but after so many years, he gradually got used to the life of a royal family.

As a bookboy, but eating before the master, this is a mistake, if in modern times, such a small thing naturally does not matter, especially if you are a child, let alone punished.

But in this day and age, this is making mistakes, and there must be punishment.

In particular, in one of the ways of 'art', the Legalist has a requirement that the monarch must clearly distinguish between reward and punishment.

If the courtier makes a mistake and the monarch does not punish him, the courtier will think that the monarch is weak and can be bullied, and will inevitably commit the following crimes in the future.

From this, we can see the difference between Confucianism and Legalism, Confucians may think that small mistakes can be forgiven, only give some criticism, show their own benevolence, and the courtiers will be grateful to Dade.

Legalists firmly believe that human nature is inherently evil and must be punished.

In conclusion, in fact, both theories are correct, you never know whether the other party will continue to cheat or be ashamed to correct after forgiving the other.

This thing is quantum mechanics!

After the meal was finished, Huan Weiwei called the next person to clean up the plate.

"The gentleman is far from the kitchen, so the little sage village never fires."

"But this was originally Mencius's exhortation to virtuous people to practice benevolence and righteousness, and now this little sage village directly quotes its literal meaning."

"It can be seen that the so-called classics are used to be misinterpreted by future generations."

Huan Wei laughed, and after breakfast, he went directly to the library building and continued to recite the classic works collected by Confucianism.

For a few days, Huan Wei has been in the line between his residence and the library.

Since he knew that the shocking salamander was going to assassinate himself, Huan Wei gave up the idea of returning to the Qin Kingdom now, and who knows if he saw a shocking salamander sword stabbed as soon as he left the Little Sage Zhuang?

It is still this little sage village that makes Huan Wei feel more secure.

Even just in case, even that Xingle Lou Huan Wei didn't go, and only read the sage book, which made Han Fei amazed, I don't know how Huan Wei became a righteous gentleman.

In the pre-Qin period, ordinary people only ate two meals a day, this was because they wanted to save food.

However, for royal nobles like Huan Wei, they can eat whenever they want, and let the chef cook for themselves whenever they want.

After studying like this for a few days, at noon one day, Zi Yi suddenly trotted to find Huan Wei and said, "... Gongzi, there was an official of the Qin State outside the Little Sage Village asking for a meeting. "

As soon as Huan heard it, he knew that this was Brother Zheng sending money and things to himself again.

Since more than a year ago, when Huan Wei sent his and Han Fei's works to Xianyang Palace, Huan Zheng sent people to the Qi Kingdom every three to five times to offer condolences to Huan Wei.

That's because the works of Huan Wei and Han Fei just poked at the threshold of Huan Zheng's heart.

Historically, after reading Han Fei's works, Ying Zheng said: "... Wow, the widow must see this man swim with him, and die without hatred! "

As long as I can travel with Han Fei, then there is no regret in death, which shows Yue Zheng's respect for Han Fei and the doctrine of legalism.

Any person's thinking is inseparable from the environment in which he grew up, and there is a reason why Ying Zheng highly respects Legalists.

Huan Zheng was born in the State of Zhao when he was a child, and when he was a child, he and Lu Buwei ran to the State of Qin, leaving Huan Zheng and his mother orphaned and widowed to live in the State of Zhao.

As a proton abandoned by his father, the misery of Yingzheng's life when he was a child can be seen, and he was definitely bullied every day.

He finally survived until he returned to the Qin Kingdom at the age of nine, and succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, but until he was twenty-one years old, he was almost a puppet.

It is clear that as the king of Qin, he was controlled by Lu Buwei, and he was also called Zhong Father, and how depressed he lived can be imagined.

During this period, he experienced a brother rebellion with whom he had a very good relationship, and his relationship with his mother became more and more tense.

When Ying Zheng's life was the worst, there was nothing more than that his mother also found a face and gave birth to a child who wanted to replace him, which is that even the closest mother wanted his life, how could he not let Ying Zheng feel cold?

In his childhood and adolescence, Ying Zheng was extremely tragic, everyone betrayed his relatives, and finally became a complete loner, and it was not easy for him to have no mental problems.

In the face of such a miserable childhood as a teenager who has experienced this, if you talk to him about Confucian benevolence and morality, let him practice benevolence, he will definitely cut off your head.

Those Confucian ideas are farting in his opinion, why don't you let Lu Buwei go to benevolence and righteousness to return power?

Only Han Fei's set of Legalist thoughts, those imperial heart techniques and imperial methods, are the most needed in the life experienced by Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng has such respect for Han Fei and Legalism.

If any traverser dares to talk to Ying Zheng, he will not think that you have any great talent, but only that you do not understand him, and that it is a real Taoist difference and does not conspire against each other.

This is also the reason why Huan Wei will have a good relationship with the other party after seeing Han Fei, and even rub his face in Han Fei's writings and add his own name.

According to modern parlance, this is to take photos with Internet celebrities and brush traffic.

Especially as a modern person, Huan Wei is really not good at ancient articles, and it just so happens that Han Fei is a master in this.

Therefore, Huan Wei told his ideas in the form of oral accounts, and Han Fei ghostwrote them to help him gather these ideas into a book.

What would he think if he sent these things to Ying Zheng?

Ying Zheng will only think, my brother really understands me so well, his thoughts are the same as mine, he is a soul and spiritual companion, and I love him to death!

He naturally 'begged his brother and was thirsty', and kept sending people to the Qi Kingdom, with various rewards, and also helped Huan Wei to take care of the fiefdom, and his purpose was actually only one, that is, to urge Huan Wei to return to China quickly.

This is actually the same as chasing women, and being able to understand the other party is the killing move that enters the woman's heart.

I like apples, you just give me a box of pears, and you think it's good for me, that's just self-touching.

This is called 'Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait'.

At that time, Jiang Shang caught King Wen of Zhou, but he did not catch Qin Shi Huang.

As for Han Fei? Tool people, don't mention it!

Huan Wei followed Zi Yi to the gate of the Little Sage Zhuang, and at a glance saw a young official in his twenties greeting him under the escort of several Qin State soldiers.

However, Huan Wei's attention was not on the young official, but on the chariot they were protecting.

Seeing that chariot, Huan Wei looked cold, because the appearance color of that chariot, as well as the silk yarn and other things on it, it was a woman sitting at a glance!
