Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 472, Qi Wangjian became a disciple of Xunzi

The next day, when people in Xianyang City woke up from their sleep and looked at the clear sky, it seemed as if the bright fireworks over Xianyang City last night were a beautiful dream last night.

In the Great Qin Academy, the morning class bell rang, and students from various sects were heading towards the palace where their respective sects were located.

In the Confucian Academy, several disciples were heading towards the academy in a panic. Today was the day when Xunzi was giving lectures. Although Xunzi was a priest of Daqin Academy, he often lived in Xiaoshengxian Village and rarely traveled thousands of miles to Daqin Academy in Xianyang, let alone lecture in the Confucian Academy, so today is a rare occasion. On that day, these disciples ended up getting up late because they went to bed late watching the fireworks last night.

"Oh no, no, no, I said I should have gone to bed early yesterday. If I was kicked out of the hall because I was late and I was not allowed to wait for the lecture, then I would want to kill myself." One student said breathlessly.

"It would be great if you have this time to run quickly."

When the last bell fell, the five people finally arrived at the door of the academy. Looking at the closed door, a student carefully opened a crack in the door and saw everyone in the hall sitting upright and reading books. , there was no one on the teacher's seat yet, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked into the hall.

After finding the vacant seat, the five people sat on it.

"Fortunately, fortunately, Master Xun has not arrived yet." A student gasped after taking his seat.

"Could it be that Master Xun drank too much at my uncle's wedding banquet yesterday and was late?" a student whispered in a low voice.

"Do you think Master Xun is you? Master Xun has arrived a long time ago, but King Qi came to visit Master Xun, and Master Xun went to see King Qi." A student behind them said angrily.

"We are the ones who lied. Please don't blame me, classmates." The student who just made the rude remarks apologized.

"You have a good attitude. Master Xun said before he left, let us review what we learned yesterday. Today he will ask questions." The student behind reminded us.

The five of them bowed slightly to the student.

"Thank you classmate."

"You're welcome."

The five of them straightened their clothes, took out their books, and began to review.

At this time, Xunzi and Qi Wangjian were sitting in the inner room.

"Why did the king come to see me specially?" Xunzi asked.

Qi Wangjian looked a little tangled, but he still stood up and saluted Master Xun and said

"Tian Jian came to see Master Xun this time to become his disciple, and he also asked Master Xun to accept me as his disciple!"

Even Xunzi, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, could not help but be surprised when faced with Qi Wangjian's sudden apprenticeship.

"Is the king joking?" Xunzi asked uncertainly.

"Tian Jian was not joking, but serious. When I was in Qi State, I had already made up my mind and wanted to go to Xiaoshengxian Manor to become a disciple. However, when Tian Jian arrived at Xiaoshengxian Manor, the master had already taken Mr. Fu Nian on the way. Xianyang road, so Tian Jian personally led the delegation to attend Mr. Ziyou’s wedding." Qi Wangjian said.

Xunzi Fusu looked at Tian Jian. Before, he was still thinking about why Qi Wangjian condescended to attend Ziyou's wedding. This makes sense.

"Does the king want to protect the state of Qi by worshiping me as his teacher?" Xunzi asked again.

"That's not the case. Tian Jian is not talented, but he can also see clearly. Now the Chu State exists in name only. Six points of the seven points of the world have been returned to Qin. The only ones left are Qi State and Wei State with only one city. Qi State has not been repairing all year round. In terms of military preparation, under the governance of the Queen Mother, there has been no foreign invasion for decades. The army is lazy and has no fighting ability. How can it resist the Qin State?

It is only a matter of time before Qi is destroyed by Qin. After Qin has cultivated for a period of time and stabilized Chu, it will be time for Qi to take action. If it was possible to become a disciple of the Master and become brothers with Mr. Ziyou and avoid the disaster of destroying the country, why didn't the original monarchs of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yanchu worship the Master? "Qi Wangjian smiled mockingly.

Xunzi looked at Qi Wangjian with a hint of understanding in his eyes. Qi Wangjian was gentle and upright in nature, and his actions were quite righteous. His treatment of ministers and people was also in line with the Confucian idea of ​​governing a country with benevolence and virtue. It is precisely because of this that Qi Wangjian did not have a high reputation in Qi. Facing the powerful queen, Qi Wangjian could only let it go. For a time, Qi State only knew the queen and did not know Qi Wangjian.

"Since the Confucians entered Qi, Qi has treated the Confucians with courtesy. When the Xiaoshengxian Village was established, it even provided full assistance and classified Songhai's tax revenue as the income of the Xiaoshengxian Village. Such Dali is beyond the Confucianists' ability to repay. Since I came out of the mountain, all the monarchs of Qi have been polite and virtuous, and they have worshiped me three times as a sacrificial wine in Jixia Academy. I have a deep relationship with Confucianism and Qi. Now that the king worships me as his teacher, how can I not accept it? What to say?

But the king is the king of a country. To become my disciple, you must hold the classics in your hands all year round and study the principles understood by our ancestors. Now Qi State still needs a monarch. After your Majesty has taken care of the affairs of Qi State, you can then join my Confucian school and study with me. Xunzi said.

After hearing Xunzi's promise, King Qi immediately paid homage to him.

"Thank you very much, teacher, for accepting me as your disciple. After the affairs of Qi State are settled, I will definitely serve you by my teacher's side." Qi Wangjian said.

"Qin's court meeting is about to end. Your Majesty, please go see the King of Qin." Xunzi nodded and said.

Qi Wangjian was stunned for a moment, then said with a grateful look on his face

"Thank you teacher!"

"Go, go. Use no swords but bring peace to the world. Forget personal gains and losses and protect the people. This is the kingly way." Xunzi said.

"Disciple knows." Qi Wangjian cupped his hands and said

Xunzi could say such words, Qi Wangjian knew that Xunzi had seen through what he was thinking, but Xunzi still accepted him, and he would have to pay the price for it, which moved Qi Wangjian very much.

After Qi Wangjian left the Confucian Academy, the bell rang for the dismissal of the court, and Qi Wangjian went directly to the Qin Palace to find Ying Zheng. Xunzi returned to the academy and began to give lectures to the students.

When he saw the five late students, Xunzi smiled helplessly but said nothing.

After Qi Wangjian found Ying Zheng, the two of them talked alone in the palace until noon, even Zhao Gao, his personal bodyguard, Ying Zheng was not brought with him. Wait until Qi Wangjian and Ying Zheng say goodbye and leave the Qin Palace.

The news of Ying Zheng's meeting with King Jian of Qi spread. After learning that the two had been talking privately for a long time, many people began to wonder what the two said. Now the Qin State is the last one left to dominate the world. , and at this time, the leaders of the two countries met in private and talked for a long time, which can't help but make people think wildly.

In the King's Mansion.

Ziyou didn't get up until noon, and so did the other five. Last night was probably Ziyou's hardest night. Sleeping with a big quilt is every man's dream, but it is indeed tiring.

While having lunch, Mo Ya told Ziyou about the meeting between Ying Zheng and Qi Wangjian.

"Your Majesty and King Qi have met? I'll see you soon." Ziyou said nonchalantly.

Seeing Ziyou's indifferent attitude, Concubine Yan asked curiously

"Everyone outside is curious about what was said between the King and King Qi, aren't you curious?"

"What are you curious about? What the king and King Qi discuss between them is their business. Although the king is the king of a country, he is also a human being, and there is nothing wrong with normal meetings between friends." Ziyou said nonchalantly.

Everyone else was stunned when they heard Ziyou's words.

"No wonder the king trusts you so much. The king is selfless. Everyone has forgotten that the king is also a human being and may have his own private affairs." Concubine Yan said.

Ziyou just smiled and said nothing. What could Qi Wangjian do to Ying Zheng? It was nothing more than a matter of war or peace between countries. For Ziyou, who had already made up his mind, there was no need to guess the outcome. I have a very good impression of Qi Wang Jian Ziyou. Although Qi Wang Jian lacks the decisiveness and toughness of a monarch in troubled times, if he is placed in a peaceful environment, he can still achieve great results.

After meeting Ying Zheng, Qi Wangjian left Xianyang that afternoon.

After Ziyou's wedding ended, the people gathered in Xianyang also left one after another, and people from Baijia also began to leave.

Snare the net.

"You still don't want to say anything?" Black and white Xuanjian said looking at Xiang Zhang who still refused to say anything. Xiang Zhang looked at Black and White Xuanjian with cold eyes and remained silent. Xiang Zhang's attitude also successfully angered Black and White Xuanjian.

"Okay, okay, what Luo Wang likes most are tough guys like you. I originally wanted you to suffer less, but now it seems that you will be punished with a toast instead of a meal. Someone come and take action." Black and white Xuanjian left after saying that. In jail.

Several snare killers carried out all the inhuman Xiang Zhang and others who were tortured in the prison. Soon a snare killer dressed in Baiyue walked up. An insect flew up from his hand and burrowed directly into Xiang Zhang's chest. in the nose.

Soon Xiang Zhang felt that something was drilling towards his brain, and severe pain soon erupted in his brain. Xiang Zhang, who had resisted countless punishments without making a sound, now let out a harsh roar.

This made the people of the Xiang clan on the side couldn't bear to close their eyes. Listening to Xiang Zhang's painful wail in their ears, they closed their eyes and their whole bodies began to tremble.

"No one can resist my soul-obsessing Gu. Anyone who is controlled by my soul-obsessing Gu will tell me whether he is willing to answer my questions or not, otherwise he will face the consequences of the poison eating his brain. Pain, he is the first one, if he refuses to confess anything, guess who is the second one?" Baiyue Gu Master looked at the others with a scary smile.

Others became even more frightened after hearing Baiyue Gu Master's words.

After half a stick of incense, a snare killer came to Black and White Xuanjian with the confessions of Xiang Zhang and others.

"The leader still refused to say anything and was hurt to death. This is what the others confessed." said the Snare Killer.

Xiang Zhang would rather have his brain devoured by Gu insects and die of pain than reveal the person behind it, which surprised Black and White Xuanjian, and at the same time he was a little admired.

"He's a man, drag him out and bury him," Black and White Xuanjian said.

"promise!"

After the snare killer left, Black and White Xuanjian looked at the confessions of these people.

"A member of the Xiang clan?" Black and white Xuanjian said in surprise.

After seeing what they told him, Black and White Xuanjian's expression changed, and then he rushed out of Luowang Prison and headed directly towards Ziyou's Wangshifu. When Mo Ya saw that it was Black and White Xuanjian arriving, he directly told him that Zi You was in the study, and Black and White Xuanjian went directly towards the study.

Black and white Xuanjian saw Zi Xingli in the study and said

"Greetings, sir, the net has made a major discovery!"

"What did you find?" Ziyou asked curiously.

Now Luo Wang will not report to Ziyou at all except for some things that can harm the foundation of Qin. Luowang monitors all forces in the world and collects countless intelligence every day. If Ziyou handles all of it, Ziyou cannot handle it. Therefore, Luowang has always had its own intelligence processing personnel, and these people will filter the intelligence. Categorize it, wait until who needs what information, and go directly to the organized information.

"Yesterday during your wedding, we caught several people who wanted to assassinate you. According to their explanations, they were all remnants of the Xiang clan. Their assassination was planned by their leader, Xiang Zhang. This chapter escaped from Yingdu. Also fleeing with him was Xiang Yu, the young master of the Xiang clan. After they escaped, they went to Daliang to look for Zhang Liang.

According to their accounts, Zhang Liang has been secretly active in Wei, Qi and Chu over the years, secretly contacting the anti-Qin forces in Jianghu, and colluding with many remnants of the Six Kingdoms. They want to unite to find opportunities to overthrow I am Da Qin. " Black and white Xuanjian said.

"Where's the information?" Ziyou asked.

"Here." Black and white Xuanjian handed the information to Ziyou.

After reading the information, Ziyou knocked on the table without saying a word.

"Should we let Daliang's net start monitoring Zhang Liang? Once Zhang Liang is found, arrest him directly?" Black and White Xuanjian asked.

"No, the people in the net cannot be used. If Zhang Liang can hide so perfectly in Daliang and not be discovered by the net, someone must be covering his whereabouts. If the net is used, it will definitely alert the snake. Let the people in the net control a small and medium-sized gang in Daliang, let If one of them went to investigate, Zhang Liang would only think it was a matter between Jianghu sects.

As for catching, we don’t need it for the time being. We have to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. " Ziyou said.

"promise!"

"Is there any trace of Wei Liao?" Ziyou asked.

"No, after Wei Liao left Hangu Pass, he took in a young man named Han Xin and got rid of the people sent to monitor him. His whereabouts have not been found yet," Black and White Xuanjian said.

"Yes." Ziyou nodded. Wei Liao was also a great master. If he wanted to cover up his whereabouts, he might not be able to find Wei Liao's whereabouts even if he searched the whole world.

"Han Xin was in the Lantian Camp before and made great contributions in the attack on the puppet Chu Kingdom. Especially when he attacked Jingling, he provided advice to the general. Now he has been made a captain by the general. I think he now controls the three A troop of three thousand soldiers and horses. They are currently studying in the military palace." Black and white Xuanjian said.

Hearing that Han Xin was studying in the military palace, Ziyou thought for a while and said

"I remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hoped that the King could send someone who is good at using soldiers to guard Chu State. You go and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I propose that Han Xin go."

"Is Han Xin really feasible?" Black and white Xuanjian was a little skeptical after thinking about Han Xin's age. Han Xin was really too young, under twenty years old. Even if he had some military skills, it wouldn't be much, let alone Qin. It's not like the country doesn't have more suitable generals. What Qin State lacks most now is generals who can fight.

"Just do as I say. His Royal Highness will not leave until half a month, which is enough." Ziyou said with a smile.

Ziyou knew Han Xin's character. He had great ambitions in his heart and had enough talent to support his ambitions. Therefore, he had some eyes above others. After half a month of training in the military palace, he was After being tortured by Wang Jian and others, the arrogance in his heart will naturally calm down. When the time comes, if Fusu gives him a chance to get ahead and realize his ambition, he will definitely be devoted to Fusu.

"promise!"

"You go back and send people to take action. I want to see the king." Ziyou said.

"promise."

After Black and White Xuanjian left, Ziyou presented a palace greeting note. After Yingzheng allowed it, Ziyou went to the Qin Palace.

After performing the courtesy of a monarch and a minister in Ying Zheng's palace, Ziyou handed over his confession to Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng read it, there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

"I really didn't expect that Zhang Liang was hiding in Daliang. Daliang is the county seat of Dongjun. It has always been a place under the surveillance of Luo Wang and the Shadow Guard, as well as our Da Qin army, but they didn't find him. His traces even allowed him to use the convenient location of Daliang to contact anti-Qin forces in various places. It seems that it is time for me to send people to investigate Daliang and even the entire Dongjun." Ying Zheng said coldly.

"What I mean is to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. Now our Qin country is at its peak, and those who have anti-Qin ideas among the people left behind from the Six Kingdoms can only hide themselves. Only when our Qin country is in crisis will we Exposed. When the Six Kingdoms were still there, Xiong Qi secretly contacted a large number of anti-Qin people in the world and in the court.

Now that the Puppet Chu Kingdom is destroyed, Xiong Qi is dead, and the fifth generation of the Zhang family is in Korea, Zhang Liang himself is the mainstay in the eyes of the remaining Koreans. Later, he took refuge in Xiong Qi, and all the power left by Xiong Qi belonged to him. Now Zhang Liang has become the contact center for all those who are anti-Qin. Now that the state of Qi is undecided, there will definitely be many anti-Qin people within it. It is better to leave Zhang Liang now and let him connect all the anti-Qin forces in various places. After digging out all the people with anti-Qin intentions, they can destroy them with thunderous means. " Ziyou said.

"This matter is according to what the teacher said. Chen Ping sent back a letter before. It was written to the teacher and has been stored in Wenyuan Pavilion. I will ask them to send it here now." Ying Zheng said.

Ying Zheng summoned Zhao Gao and asked him to bring Chen Ping's letter to Ziyou. After half a cup of tea, Zhao Gao came back with the letter.

Ziyou looked at the letter and opened it in front of Ying Zheng. After seeing the content inside, Ziyou couldn't help but look serious.
