Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 140, Baijia: I let go
As for whether Yan State can resist Li Mu, it’s really hard to say. Since Yan State attacked Zhao State and was defeated by Pang Nuan, after the death of General Ju Xin, Yan State no longer has a general who can lead troops. Now the Yan State General General Yan Yi told the truth, he was not even worthy to lift Ji Wuye's shoes, let alone resist Li Mu.

"Yan Kingdom has a vast territory and Yishui is a natural danger. Even if Yan's army can't stop Li Mu, Yishui can hold Li Mu back." Ziyou said in a deep voice.

The others also nodded in agreement, and there is no other way now, they can only pray that the Yan State can hold back Li Mu as much as possible, so that the Qin State can have time to win enough strategic buffer zones, and support the Qin State to destroy South Korea.

"Then let Father Zhong do it." Ying Zheng saluted Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei nodded. He is usually responsible for this kind of thing. Although he handed over the trap, it doesn't mean he can't plan this matter. After agreeing on the plan to use Yan to attack Zhao, Lu Buwei left to plan this matter .

"Teacher, I want Mr. Han Fei to enter the Qin Dynasty, do you think it is feasible?" Ying Zheng asked.

Ziyou looked at Yingzheng, and Ziyou supported Han Fei's entry into Qin. Qin's laws are only suitable for Qin as a war machine. Ruling the world and recuperating, if you only rely on Li Si to do this, I am afraid it will be very difficult. If Han Fei enters Qin and agrees to support this matter, the speed will be much faster. If Han Fei is only allowed to enter Qin, it will be very simple. Just tell Han Wangan that South Korea is afraid of Qin. If letting an unfavored ninth son into Qin can ease the relationship between the two, Han Wangan will definitely be happy.

But the problem was how to make Han Fei willing to serve. This was Ying Zheng's headache, and it was also the question Ying Zheng wanted to ask.

"Your Majesty, you can just let senior brother join the Qin Dynasty, and I will do the rest." Ziyou said.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to the teacher. Teacher, this is the recent list of Confucian disciples who participated in the selection of Qin officials and the evaluation and arrangement given by the prime minister's office." Ying Zheng handed a memorial to Ziyou.

Yingzheng asked Ziyou to look at these, not to say that Confucian disciples are not suitable for Qin, but these disciples, whether it is the study of Qin law or the idea of ​​​​governing the people, made Yingzheng refreshed. Compared with the current governance methods of Qin, these The ideas of Confucian disciples are more humane, and they pay more attention to the interests of the common people. At the same time, they can maintain the operation of the huge war machine of Qin State.

The practice of these Confucian disciples is very simple. While maintaining the majesty of the Qin Law, they added a humane law enforcement policy. Lu Buwei’s Prime Minister’s Office gave a suggestion, that is, let some people who are not qualified to be officials serve as reserve soldiers. Learn, and then facilitate the management of the newly laid territory.

"I still believe in Wen Xinhou's vision, but some of them are indeed not suitable to be officials." Ziyou took the memorial and saw that the biggest advantage of the current Confucian disciples is their strong moldability. He also recognizes the role of the law, but thinks that the law should not be strict, and the people should be taught mainly, the law is the constraint, the monarch must pay attention to his own behavior, and so on.

"I used to think that Confucian disciples would criticize the harsh laws of Qin State in these assessments, but I didn't expect them to study the Qin Law very thoroughly. They didn't just criticize the strictness of the Qin Law, but also explained some of the unreasonable ones. place." Ying Zheng sighed.

Ziyou looked at Yingzheng and decided not to tell Yingzheng the truth. Many of the Confucian disciples selected this time are from the lineage of Gongyang Confucianism and Xunzi. The powerful national power of the Qin State, and Qin Fa is one of the magic weapons that the Qin State relies on for survival. The people's hearts and the ambitions of the people in Qin State can be said to be the paradise of Gongyang Confucianism. They did not praise Qin Fa. Ziyou was surprised.

As for the lineage of Xunzi, why did Han Fei and Li Si follow Xunzi to study legalism? Xunzi himself was the beginning of the fusion of Confucianism and Legalism. This is the case with his own family boss and sages, so they naturally would not object, plus Ziyou's "Xing Lun" The law in the book is the minimum of morality, and morality is an important supplement to the law, which opens up a new perspective for them, why should they oppose the law?Rituals and etiquette, etiquette comes first, followed by law, and law is also a part of etiquette, but it is just another name.

So the entire Confucianism began to go astray, and some extremes began to shout that Legalism actually came from Confucianism, because the earliest laws were moral customs, and later formed ritual laws, and Legalism just learned from Confucianism. Instead of a complete etiquette, it has fabricated all kinds of allusions for the legalists who have come into contact with and learned Confucianism.

This made the Legalists yell at them, but Confucians don’t care about it. Now some Confucians think that Legalism is just a deviant line of Confucianism. We should not oppose them themselves. What we oppose are those strict laws. It is nothing more than laws that harm the people unfairly and unfairly, so what they have to do is to study Legalism and infuse them with Confucian benevolence and righteousness to help them govern the world more in line with it.

Because Ziyou's "Xing Lun" made Confucianism appear a hundred years later, and the concept of state governance formed after thousands of years of development appeared in advance, and it began to spread in today's active Confucianism.

A series of operations by Confucianism made the other schools stupid. After careful consideration, they all looked at Confucianism with fear in their eyes. This kind of behavior of Confucianism is no different from that of a thief. What they have to do is to steal the core of Legalism and become All of a sudden, all schools of thought began to be wary of Confucianism, not daring to get too close to Confucianism. You can plagiarize Confucianism from others, but you can’t fundamentally deny Legalism, right?

Fortunately, Xunzi saw this and came forward to explain it, saying that Confucianism did not intend to annex Legalism, but just wanted to teach Legalism what law is, which made the existing Legalist disciples even more angry. Hitting the south wall, but now Han Fei, the master of Legalism, is a disciple of Xunzi, and they dare not say anything. They can only start to study Legalism, and then use their knowledge to debate with Confucian disciples.

Under the stimulation of Confucianism, Legalism gradually became united from the original scattered situation. They gathered together to continuously study Legalism. With the gathering and debate of the crowd, some problems left by Legalism were also solved. Legalism There was also a period of strength, and it began to compete with Confucianism on a par. Seeing that Confucianism and Legalism were only fighting in terms of knowledge, hundreds of schools were also relieved. It was secretly. It is really shameless for you Confucianism to do this kind of thing on such a large scale this time.

However, seeing that Confucianism did not intend to swallow Legalism, other sects also felt relieved. Seeing Confucianism do this, they also felt a little itchy in their hearts. Even Confucianism has done this, why can’t we?All of a sudden, a hundred schools of thought began extremely intense academic exchanges and debates, and the contention among a hundred schools of thought, which had been somewhat quiet, became lively again because of a series of operations by Confucianism.

Everyone basically let go of their faces. Seeing that the things that can make up for the shortcomings of their own knowledge can be directly put on their own skins and start to integrate, and integrate the other party's ideas with their own to complete new things, and then take them out to argue with others. When new problems appeared in the book, they continued to study. For a while, Baijia was full of active gestures again, and the level of debate even caught up with the era of Zhuzi.

Now that the world is in chaos, I can propose anything. Anyway, in the end, you Confucianism and Qin will clean up, so we just let go. This is the true thinking of hundreds of schools.

　There are eight thousand in the afternoon
