Qin Dynasty Novelist

"The sage Yan Hui created this formation, which is a method of protecting oneself. It contains the spirit of the three principles and eight objectives of the university. The core is the three principles of clear virtue, closeness to the people, and perfection, and it is mastered by outstanding Confucian disciples."

"The eight items of investigation, extension of knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family alignment, state governance, and peace of the world can be mastered by the rest of the Confucian disciples. The eight-handed sword formation is not as good as the Dize formation, and can be performed by two people."

"If you want to use this sword formation, you must have [-] people, [-] people or even more people. Follow the six-character essentials of zhi, steadiness, tranquility, tranquility, concern, and gain, and step forward to encircle them. Move, if the enemy leader wants to break it, it will be very difficult!"

Gongduzi continued to talk about the wonder of the Bayi Sword Formation. Even though the reasoning is so, the Bayi Sword Formation has no obvious flaws compared to Dize Twenty-Four. Xia Rong and Dongmie are the most powerful strong, but the eight sword formations are integrated as a whole.

For hundreds of years, many people have been besieged by the Bayi Sword Formation, but except for those with super-strong cultivation, otherwise, none of them can come out. After talking, the group continued to think about going inside the Xiaoshengxian Village.

"The name of Confucianism in Qilu is so resounding, I'm afraid Confucius didn't even think of it today."

Entering the main hall, greeted by Gongduzi, kneel down with Tianzong Xuanqingzi on the head, and on the left and right sides, there are Confucianists and people brought by Xuanqingzi to sit, the sun is high, and the spacious and bright hall , the floor is paved with light red velvet carpets, the table is displayed, and the fragrant tea is fluttering.

There are bright pillars standing all around, and the light red veil hangs down, with strange textures engraved on the top, which should have a deep meaning. Zhou Qing didn't take a look inside, returned to the futon, and looked at everyone.

"Confucianism is just adhering to the teachings of the sages, sages and teachers. The development of Confucianism to this day is not the credit of Confucianism, but the credit of the people of Zhuxia.

"For hundreds of years, Confucian disciples have devoted themselves to studying, teaching others to be good, and doing their duty as scholars."

The purpose of Taoist Tianzong Xuanqingzi's visit is clear to all Confucianists, but although it is clear, some things should be explained in detail, Gongduzi has a faint smile on his old face.

Although he didn't know what the other party meant, he answered in a natural way.

"student?"

Hearing these humble words, Zhou Qing laughed loudly, looked down at the many people in the hall, and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"With the style of the little sage village in Sanghai today, the prestige of Confucianism in the hearts of the people is not small. Don't you see, even Zhao Zhen from the Xingcheng library wants to visit the little sage village first if he wants to plan big things?"

"It can be seen that Xiaoshengxianzhuang is not just a scholar in the hearts of people in the world."

The old owner of the Xingcheng Library, whose cultivation base is the truth, also came from Confucianism, and took root in the country of Zhao. Over the past few decades, he has become a strong force, which can be seen.

Spiritual awareness envelopes the entire Xiaoshengxianzhuang, with a magnificent and high-spirited momentum. A Confucian disciple walks in it, reads it, and reads it. But Confucianism is more than that.

The words fell lightly, and the expressions of the Confucianists in the hall moved slightly. They did not understand the intention of the other party's words. It is true that Zhao Zhen did enter Xiaoshengxianzhuang a few days before his death, but the Confucianists had already issued a warning. the price paid.

Could it be that Tianzong Xuanqingzi is going to change his mind this day?

"I don't know what Xuan Qingzi means?"

Gongduzi was suspicious in his heart, although the person beside him was young and weak, but he had to treat him very seriously in every word and deed, as if he was facing another famous person from a hundred schools of thought.

"The essence of Confucianism, the three principles and eight objectives, self-cultivation, family alignment, state governance, and world peace, the ultimate goal is to be connected with this world. In today's Warring States world, the division of power among princes is about to disappear."

"It is precisely to usher in the unified world that Confucianism expects, and that is the opportunity for Confucianism. What do you think?"

Turning his head slightly, he glanced at Gongduzi, spoke slowly, and his eyes fell on the people below. In this hall, there are people who are the pillars of Confucianism now and in the future.

Come to think of it, they will not fail to understand what they mean.

"One day to deny oneself and return to rituals, the world belongs to the benevolence."

"And the Qin State has always advocated the rule of law. Now that the national power is in full swing, there is a chance that it will come to an end one day. If so, in the future, Qin will be the destiny. How can there be a place for Confucianism? I don't know what Xuanqingzi has to teach us?"

In one sentence, it thoroughly points out the core matter of today.

For many days, the source of the entanglement between Confucianism and Taoism Tianzong Xuanqingzi is this matter, that is, the uncertain future. If the Qin court ruled, the Daowu Zhenjun Xuanqingzi would be more famous and harmful to all schools of thought. Useless.

If Qin Ting can't rule in one day, if this person stays in Qin State, it will also be a huge threat to all schools of thought. Therefore, when Zhao Zhen visited Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Confucianism made a promise.

I never thought that Zhao Zhen and the others failed, and it was precisely because of the failure of Zhao Zhen and others that directly caused the rather passive situation of Confucianism today. Gongduzi bowed his hands and looked directly at Zhou Qing.

"Haha, what can Xuan Qingzi teach you?"

"How to do it is something that you Confucianists have to decide. In recent years, my king likes the articles of Xun Kuang's disciple Han Fei, "Five Beetles".

"Although not all Confucian scholars and knight-errants are like this, it seems that Confucianism has not given control, but some people are still contributing to the flames. Do you really think that those people in the Black Ice Terrace are idle?"

For hundreds of years, the Qin State has given the impression of the six Shandong countries as a country of barbarians, a country of tigers and wolves, and a country that does not enter the elegance and etiquette of the Xia. Who spread these words is a hundred schools of thought!

But the weak schools of thought can't do anything at all, and the big ones are the ones that are really influential, and Confucianism is just the one with the last say. Of course, there is also the Mohism, which is either black or white.

"Confucianism inherits morality, government, benevolence and etiquette, but people in Confucianism have come to Shandong and the six countries. For a hundred years, Qin Guobing has suppressed Shandong, and the six countries have suffered heavy losses. Therefore, although there are many Confucian disciples, not all Confucian disciples have inherited Confucianism. .”

"For example, Han Fei in Xuanqingzi's mouth, although he came from a small Confucian sage village, he has learned the essence of Legalism. There is also Li Si, a minister of the Qin court, who is also a Legalist, but when it comes to his background , but Confucianism."

"This...is not the fault of Confucianism!"

Confucianism breaks the law with literature, and chivalry breaks the law with martial arts!

As soon as the words came out, all the people in the hall unconsciously looked at Xun Kuang. Those were the disciples he taught. Not only did Confucianism not be promoted properly in the theory, but Confucianism was slandered in this way. In terms of responsibility, Xun Kuang It's hard to escape the blame.

Gongduzi responded with an old voice, Han Fei's words were a great blow to Confucianism, but Confucianism did not do such a thing, even if the Black Ice Terrace of Qin State knew it, it should be clear why.

"Whether it is Confucianism's fault or not is not important. The important thing is that my king only knows that Confucian scholars have repeatedly violated the rule of law in Qin State. Maybe it is the reason of the Six Kingdoms, but in the end it will fall on your Confucianism."

Gongduzi's words are just a process, but... yes, the process is really not important, the result has already come out. Most of the Confucian scholars who rebelled against the Qin State are Confucianists, and Confucianism must be responsible.

"Since the King of Qin likes Han Fei's words, it should be clear that Confucianism and Legalism do not conflict. On the contrary, in some respects, Confucianism is more unique."

This time, a clear speech came from the hall, and the person who spoke was Xun Kuang. He straightened his body and bowed his hands in a salute.

And this is not what Confucianism wants to see. Compared with Han Feizhi's words, Confucianism wants this order to be reversed.

"Mr. Xun Kuang, more than a hundred years ago, there was a saying in the "Law of Seeking Virtue" by Duke Xiao of the Qin State: If there is one among the guests and ministers who can make a plan to strengthen Qin, I will respect the officials and divide the land with him! After that, the Legalist Wei Yang To achieve this, the law will be practiced throughout the state of Qin."
