My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 294 Xunzi, the new means of controlling the people

Since the third son led a group of members of the Meng family, and commanded [-] cavalry who were not affiliated to the Qin army and did not receive military pay, they left from Shangjun.

Shangjun has ushered in a period of rapid development, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and reforms are in progress.

"Han Zi, why do you want to cancel the towers? It's okay to say that in the upper county, the hard-working soldiers in the frontier fortress don't have such a heart. But in Longxi, the towers in Yunzhong and other counties are the foundation for maintaining stability. They are what people think about at the time. How can they be cancelled? "

Crown Prince Ying Fusu took the latest handwritten letter from Han Feizi in his hand, and asked puzzled questions about the official document written on paper.

Han Fei spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and wrote the words.

[The five beetles are a danger to the country's safety.It is useless to do more than the country.Sacrificing the beauty of a woman also raises the evil thoughts of the five worms, so stupid...]

One day, eighteen fast horses galloped from the big city of Shangjun to Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen and other six counties, and three horses in one county galloped to report.

…………

In the deep night, there was a room in Chang'an Jun's mansion, but three candles that were as bright as soybeans were lit.

The slightly bright candles can't fully illuminate the small log cabin.

Although the non-glare light is only enough to allow people to walk down the ground without knocking against the corners of the table and benches, it is enough for two old people talking and talking in the house at night.

A lamp was placed on the only bad wooden table in the hut, and a person was sitting next to this table, his face clearly visible.

He wears a blue-gray soap towel to wrap all his white hair, except for two white beards on his lips, and a small tuft on his chin.

The eyebrows are wide and short, and the distance between the eyebrows is slightly long. Just by looking at the eyebrows, it seems that the person is a little dull, and it is honest to put it mildly.

But as long as you look down at his eyes, those eyes that are old and more energetic, with a little bit of vigor, should grow on the face of a military giant, you can overturn at least half of your previous perception.

Because the air revealed in it is too strong, one can tell that there is arrogance in his eyes.

Honest and vigorous.

Two temperaments that should not appear at the same time fall on such a person, but they are unexpectedly harmonious, without any sense of contradiction.

"You and I have never spoken well, why did you come to this shabby house of mine?"

The old man held the book and turned a page, and spoke softly without looking at the old man in black who came to sit on the bed uninvited.

There were no candles placed at the head and tail of the bed, and the face of the old man in black could not be seen clearly unless he looked closely.

Only through the broad outline of the body, one can know that this is a strong man who must have been too close to three or five people when he was young.

The old man in black laughed, not caring about being slighted, and said with a smile: "I went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and saw Xunzi's light was on, so I came to inspect it."

Xunzi, a native of Zhao, considered himself a great Confucianist.

If the fact that Xunzi is still alive is known to the world, it will be a shocking thunder in the world.

Back then, the Jixia Academy in the State of Qi recruited heroes from all over the world, and offered sacrifices to wine as their specialty.

Such as Mencius, the great Confucian who put forward the theory of good nature, Meng Ke, Zou Zi, the founder of Yin Yang School, Zou Yan, Shen Zi, the founder of Legalism School, Shen Dao, Shen Zi, the founder of Legalism School, Shen Buhai, etc. Many great figures from various schools of thought came from Jixia Academy.

From the establishment of Jixia Academy to the disintegration of Jixia Academy, Jixia Academy has always been the highest institution in the world.If its status is easy to understand, it is equivalent to the merger of the top ten universities in the country, and Jijiu is the principal.

As for Xunzi, the third was to offer wine to the Jixia Academy.

It can be said that at the end of the Warring States period, all those who studied in Jixia Academy were students of Xunzi.

At that time, Jixia Xuegong was even given an alias, called Xunzi Xuegong.

Write "Han Feizi", Han Fei, the idol of the First Emperor.

In charge of everything for the prime minister, the most expensive Li Si in the Great Qin Empire.

Zhang Cang, a scientist and mathematician in the Western Han Dynasty, loved to cultivate immortals.

These three great talents are all students taught by Xunzi, and they are the most outstanding group.

Xunzi studied under Mohism, who was called Song Yan of Song Zi at that time.

Xunzi, who claimed to have inherited the will of Confucius, criticized traditional Confucianism very heavily, which may have the shadow of Mohism.

There is a very interesting thing about the schools at the end of the Warring States period. Two orthodox Confucianisms with completely different ideas appeared in Confucianism.

Traditional Confucianism scoffed at the great Confucianist Xunzi, thinking that he was a deviant person.

Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism are all deadly enemies.You are the one who learned from the great Mo Songyan, and taught two great methods, Han Fei, and Li Si, who calls himself Confucianism?
Xunzi, who is jokingly called the founder of New Confucianism nowadays, never recognizes the word "new".I have always claimed that I have inherited the will of Confucius, and the so-called traditional Confucianism has distorted the original intention of Confucius.

Mozi originally learned from Confucianism, and he founded Mohism because he disagreed with the Confucian classics that you tampered with.In the past few years, if Confucius was still alive, he would accept all kinds of things, and he would not reject the law and Mo's theory like you pseudo-Confucian students.

This battle of ideas did not come to an end until the Great Qin Empire stepped into the royal palace, Xunzi disappeared, and Jixia Academy became a thing of the past.

Without Xunzi, a great Confucian who has always advertised orthodox Confucianism, his students are basically ashamed to call themselves Confucian scholars. They think that they have inherited Xunzi's thought rather than Confucianism.

Just like Han Fei and Li Si, when Xunzi was still alive, he considered himself a member of the Legalist family.

Xunzi's disciples have no good impression of Confucianism, which is regarded as orthodox by most people nowadays, let alone consider themselves Confucian students.

They don't believe in Confucius, they believe in Xunzi.

The disappearance of Xunzi was basically tantamount to death in that chaotic era.

These disciples blamed Xunzi's death on Qin, so few of them served in Qin.

If these people know that Xunzi is still living in Xianyang City, they will surely come in a storm, and the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion, which is like a small Xianyang Palace, will be destroyed.

Xunzi, who enjoys a great reputation in the world, still doesn't look at the old man in black.

He said casually: "Since you have seen it, go back, you are not welcome at Qing Office."

"Can't say a word?" The black-clothed old man leaned back, chuckled, and said, "Xunzi who refuted the Confucian scholars all over the world with his own strength, why is he so afraid of this old man that he doesn't dare to say a few words?"

Xunzi chuckled, but was not angry.

"The teeth are sharp and the tongue is sharp. Even Deng Xi, Hui Shi, and Gongsun Long are resurrected, and it is difficult to argue with you. I, a Confucian scholar, don't talk to you, so why is it ridiculous?"

The old man in black who couldn't see his face let out a clear laugh, and lay on his back on Xunzi's bed and stopped talking.

When Xunzi heard the movement, he saw the movement of the old man in black out of the corner of his eye. He frowned and slammed the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand on the table with his backhand, causing a lot of noise.

"Qing doesn't want to fight with you, and if you don't leave, don't blame Qing for bullying the old."

The old man in black didn't get up.

"Don't be so stingy. Your Majesty will be looking for you and me today. I will wait here with you. Why do you need your Majesty to travel to two places?"

Xunzi's face was full of anger, and his turban trembled slightly due to the anger.

"It's true that your majesty is looking for me, but he is not looking for you. Let's go."

"Did you not hear what your majesty is doing today? Openly killing the three great families of Meng Xibai in front of Tingwei's mansion, this move shocked me even after hearing it, and it suits me."

"Absurd! Your way is the way of troubled times. What does your majesty do have nothing to do with your way! He is benevolent and domineering. Although it is close to what you say, it is a world of difference!"

"It's almost the same. Although you call yourself a great Confucian, you are definitely not a Confucian student. As the saying goes, the people of the sky are not the king. The king of the sky is the people. Therefore, in ancient times, the establishment of the country was not just for the princes. , Sending Juelu is not just to respect the senior officials. Xunzi's words are deeply in my heart."

Xunzi's face was very ugly, because the words that the old man in black in front of him used to refute him all came from his mouth.

Xunzi believed that the appearance of the people was not to create value for the king, but the appearance of the king was for the people.Like the feudal land and the founding of the country, high-ranking officials and high salaries are not for the purpose of promoting the princes and scholar-bureaucrats into another class, but for better serving the people.

This is completely contrary to the current mainstream values. If this kind of thinking is to be realized, it will inevitably cause great turmoil.And turmoil, the old man in black likes it the most.

You Xunzi kept saying that it was different from mine, saying that I was the way of troubled times.

But your theory is not to create a troubled world?What is the difference between you and me?

The old man in black didn't wait for Xunzi to reply for a long time, nor did he hear Xunzi get up.

Youyou said: "Your Majesty turned benevolence into domineering, you and I should be happy. What the world needs is a thunderbolt, not a drizzle, let's wait together."

Xunzi took a deep breath, got up and said in a deep voice: "Qing doesn't bother arguing with you, you have to wait for your lord, go back to your house!"

The old man in black turned his head and saw that Xunzi was going to show the six arts of a gentleman, so he got up and left immediately.

Before leaving, he left a message: "Teacher, I would like to advise you. When you completely abandon Confucianism, when you can become your own family, Xunzi need not be inferior to Confucius."

After closing the door, Xunzi sat back at the table, picked up the "Spring and Autumn" that was turned upside down on the table, and continued to study.

The candlelight was flickering, and the old man's face was honest and vigorous, waiting quietly.

A few years ago, the old man scoffed when he heard equality, freedom, and democracy from a young man.

The old man didn't believe that a young man who was born in a prince's family would speak for the people in Qianshou, but he just took a fancy to his disciples.

But when the young man talked with him in detail, he said that the abolition of slavery was imminent, that the way out was the way of the people, and that he should pay attention to education from an early age to train everyone in the world to be an official.

It is said that the law should be used as the minimum limit of the empire to rectify and guide the people's thinking, and that the people with high morals should be rewarded to correctly establish the concept of national style, etc., etc., the old man can't sit still.

It would take several years for ordinary people to compose these words before they can perfect and unify the theory, and the old man has the initial trust in the young son.

Promise the young son, if what he said is true, he can help him.

The old man is very clear that if he wants to realize his idea that the king should serve the people and the people should not be slaves to the king, in this world he must be implemented by the nobles, and he must be a great noble.

Because the people were suppressed too hard, ignorant, and ignorant, the nobles suppressed the people to death.

But how can a knowledgeable nobleman help the old man realize his ideas?Smash your own bowl and create your own rebellion?From the moment the idea of ​​the elderly is perfected, it is the most absurd joke.

Therefore, as long as this joke has a slight chance of being realized, the old man will not give up, so the Jixia Academy was destroyed, and the old man came to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion.

But because he only had initial trust in the young master, the old man did not bring his disciples over.

The old man lived in the Chang'an Lord's Mansion and became a guest of a man nicknamed Master, waiting silently like he did decades ago.

Just like tonight.

…………

How could this Zongzi have the idea of ​​canceling the building, isn't he his favorite building?The first emperor continued to read the letter with doubts.

【I know I can't convince you, so I won't tell you the reason, and you won't listen anyway.I just want to say one thing, if you don't ban the buildings and add the crime of obscenity to the Qin law, I won't let you enter the genealogy, anyway the genealogy is in my hands. 】

"Straight!"

The first emperor was so angry that he tore the entire letter paper with such strength that it nearly tore it in half.

Whether one can enter the genealogy is a very important matter in this era, even the Emperor Shihuang, who is proud of the world, cannot be exempted from it.

As the emperor, he can engrave his name on the successive kings of Qin.

But without mastering the royal family tree, he cannot put his name in the family tree.

The reason why the Ying family has been standing behind Ying Chengxu is that this genealogy plays a very important role.

After cursing for a while, Emperor Shihuang continued to look down with a cold face.

[I have already announced the paper to the world, Brother Huang, don't use bamboo slips in the future, that object is too heavy, and it is tiring to carry and uncomfortable to look at.Of course, this brother is casual, whether he likes to do it or not, anyway, I am not the one who approves the memorial. 】

[The last thing, if you want the people in the world to be loyal to you like veterans serving me, then do as I say.Incorporate medical care into the official system of the Great Qin Dynasty, all doctors in the world will be paid by the state, and people will receive free medical treatment, starting from Guanzhong. 】

【Brother Huang doesn't know how to operate it, you can listen to Xia Wu's words.If the treasury can't afford this part of the money, you can come to me, and let the emperor's brother do things for nothing.The reason for this is also very complicated to explain. I know you don’t like to hear it and you can’t listen to it, so I won’t tell you.Brother Huang, take care and make less babies. 】

wow~

The first emperor was so angry that he crumpled the letter into a ball, stood up and roared loudly in Zhangtai Palace.

"You wrote it, why don't I like to listen to it? Is this what you call the people's heart? You tell me! Since it appeared in front of my eyes, why didn't you tell me clearly? After leaving, you threatened I, I really thought Qin would be nothing without you!"

Before today's incident, the first emperor didn't care about Ying Chengxun's so-called popular support.

What's the use of those foolish people's thoughts?What consequences can it have on Daqin?
And when those veterans desperately protected Ying Chengyu, something that was not driven by fame and fortune happened in front of the first emperor, and the first emperor was very interested in this matter.

The First Emperor speculated that this might be Ying Chengxun's so-called popular purpose.

The Legalists let the first emperor drive the people of Qin to seize the world like tigers and wolves, relying on their fearlessness of death.

However, Ying Chengxi did not use the utilitarian policy of the Legalists, and still made these veterans fearless. This new method of controlling the people, Emperor Shi Huang wanted to know very much.

Let the people of the world act according to their own will, as if pointing at each other, no king can refuse.
