The six countries sent me as a spy, and the contact person was Qin Shihuang

Chapter 256 I don’t like arguing with others!
Zou Yan warned: "I wonder what your Majesty will replace it with?"

Ying Zheng was so busy that he said: "Isn't what Taifu said about 'agriculture, industry, commerce, and learning soldiers' written on it?"

Zou Yan immediately broke his guard.

He had been thinking about what he had overlooked, and then he remembered that in these articles, people used his "Five Virtues" to replace it with a brand-new proposal.

So, here’s the problem.

Do you want us to use your theory of the beginning and end of the Five Virtues to cover up our business practices, or do you want us to completely abandon your theory and directly use our theoretical system to explain our founding philosophy?

Zou Yan could not give up the status of achievement that his theory had achieved.

"I cannot agree with what Your Majesty said, and must consider it carefully." Zou Yan tried to delay the attack.

Ying Zheng said: "I originally planned to ask Master Zou to debate this with the officials tomorrow, but since Master has something to do, there is no need."

That doesn't work!
This is a great opportunity to integrate the Yin Yang family's teachings into the power operation of the Qin Dynasty. If you miss this opportunity, the Yin Yang family may not be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

"I'm afraid the ministers are not familiar with Tai Tu's intentions, so they should consider it carefully." Zou Yan suggested.

Ying Zheng was noncommittal and just persuaded him to drink more.

Zou Yan looked at the brand new food and found another fault.

"The emperor must match the etiquette, so that the world can be united!" Zou Yan said, "The food rules and banquet standards used in the palace today are not in line with your majesty's status as the co-owner of the world. If the princes of the six countries do better than your majesty, I am afraid that people will indefinite."

Ying Zheng said confidently: "No matter what I eat does not comply with the rules of the Zhou royal family, no one dares to say anything. There will be many reasons for those who are willing to rebel."

Even if I let them rebel, if I care, I will not be the emperor of eternity or even the emperor of eternity that Taifu praised.

Zou Yan could see now that the emperor indeed trusted Jiang Bai more than anyone else.

This makes it impossible for him to use words to sow discord.

Don't think that these Yin and Yang families don't understand the methods of politicians. These people flaunt which family or sect they belong to, but in fact they are very knowledgeable about other people's theories and have their own opinions.

For a master like Zou Yan, the tactics used by the strategists to sow discord were simply extremely skilled social methods.

At this time, Shusuntong saw the emperor's impatience.

He originally thought that Zou Yan was a master with an overall view, but this time he was greatly disappointed.

"The emperor cannot be allowed to have distrust and dislike of Confucius." Shusun Tong immediately stood up and asked about the treatment and arrangements for Confucius' descendants.

Ying Zheng saw Shusun Tong's intention and smiled secretly in his heart.

I thought you self-proclaimed celebrities don't care about power, nor do you care about whether your own schools of thought can be used by the court.

So you also care?
Then he said: "I don't know who Kong Yu is. The Grand Tutor has not personally investigated it."

Zou Yan was shocked again.

As a Yin Yang family, he and Confucianism were somewhat at odds with each other.

What he agrees with is the connection between heaven and man, and then the communication between the emperor and heaven requires them, the yin and yang family.

Of course, this is a superficial theoretical system of metaphysics. The real intention lies in who has the right to explain the truth and who has the right to explain the power.

The emperor now wanted to summon the descendants of the Confucian saints, and asked Jiang Bai, a smart man, to go and contact them.This is very detrimental to other doctrines and must be prevented.

So Zou Yan asked: "I wonder if Your Majesty wants to comprehensively revise the Qin Dynasty's legalist tradition?"

"The law does not allow the essence to be changed. This is my fundamental intention," Ying Zheng clearly told everyone present. "Legalism is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty and the art of strengthening the country. It is also the standard that binds everyone in the world. Therefore, It is impossible for Legalism to completely leave at any time. The imperial court itself is a symbol of Legalism, so how can we abandon Legalism?"

So what is the use of Confucianism?

"What Taifu said is very reasonable. Confucianism is external and internal is law. Confucianism plays an important role in establishing and circulating social moral standards. Education is also the fundamental way to strengthen a country. Why can't we use Confucianism?" Ying Zheng was surprised, "You guys Zibaijia, why do you have to kill another sect and only use your family's words to count as using you? Don't you know that no matter how comprehensive a person or a school's thoughts are, there will always be some things that are not considered carefully, and then other schools of thought are needed. To supplement.”

"That also needs to have a focus!" Shusuntong took the opportunity to say.

"Why is there an important point?" Ying Zheng said calmly, "Establishing laws to restrain the people of the world is the focus of Legalism. But if you educate the people and improve the cultural quality of the entire Qin country, you can't compare to the Confucian education. The idea of ​​​​without distinction? As for craftsmen and technology, your Yin-Yang School and Confucianism combined are comparable to the Mohist School?"

Zou Yan was overjoyed and reminded Ying Zheng: "The great master of the Mohist family is not very friendly to Da Qin."

"What I want to use is the thinking of the Mohist family, not the Mohist giant himself. So what if they are in chaos? Is the Mohist family the Mohist family of his Mohist great son alone?" Ying Zheng despised, "If so, I will attack the contemporary Mohist great prince, Kill him to clear the way for the Mohist family to flourish in the world."

Zou Yan couldn't help but be silent.

This emperor was not only domineering, but also extremely wise.

This is a person who is not easy to fool.

The topic returned to the theory of the beginning and end of the Five Virtues, and Zou Yan asked for a debate with Jiang Bai.

He believed that Jiang Bai's theory had too many loopholes and was not enough to become the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

In his opinion, this is a help to Jiang Bai.

As a slave, if you can argue with my wife, it will improve your status.

Until then, I will only look for your loopholes and not talk about the Five Virtues. I don’t believe that I can’t attack your status and authority.

Ying Zheng said, "The Tutor is going to do great things. What's the point of participating in those boring debates? That's your business. The Tutor has all the power in the world. He only needs to know when to use what means, and There is no need to become a master like you.”

These words couldn't help but make Zou Yan angry.

Isn’t it true that co-authoring a master’s work is not in your eyes?

Yes!
Jiang Bai himself never wanted to be a master of any school. Wouldn't it be good to incorporate the advantages of various schools and use them for the benefit of the world?

Debating was something he didn't even bother to do when he was in college.

Over an obviously controversial or boring topic, argue for days or even prepare for dozens of days to debate with people who know both sides are wrong.

In his opinion, that is called arguing.

When Zou Yan tried to find him for a public debate to discuss the pros and cons of the New Five Virtues, Jiang Bai happened to be thinking about the "contention" of various schools of thought.

The theories of the various philosophers indeed required debate, but he was not a debater.

He also doesn't like to debate.
