Chapter 62
"Your Majesty wants me to visit Xunzi myself?" When the carriage stopped in front of an unremarkable inn, the purple girl in the carriage struggled to say yes.

"Before Xun Kuang accepts you as a disciple, he must first understand your aptitude and ability. I can help you with other things, but the last thing must be done by yourself. This is your response to the teacher as a disciple. Some respect." Ying Zheng explained while helping Zi Nu comb her hair that was messed up on the road.

"Can the king go with me?" Zi Nu hesitated.

"Why, is Miss Zi Nu afraid?" Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing at Zi Nu's worry about gain and loss.

"Yeah, I'm really a little scared, afraid of disappointing the king." Zi Nu bit her lip and said.

Although Xunzi's status is high, it is not enough for Zinu to worry about gains and losses, but Yingzheng is different.

Zinu knew that for herself, whether or not she could worship Xunzi as her teacher was not that important. She was delighted to succeed, but she didn't care too much if she failed.

But Yingzheng was different, she didn't want to disappoint Yingzheng after all.

"You worry too much. I am very confident about you, and you should also believe in yourself. You are a purple girl and someone I value. Do you think I will misunderstand someone?" Ying Zheng said.

"I hope so." Zi Nu took a deep breath, raised the curtain and got out of the carriage.

It wasn't until Zi Nu disappeared at the door of the inn that Ying Zheng looked away. In fact, there was one thing he didn't tell Zi Nu. There was another reason why he asked Zi Nu to visit Xun Kuang by herself.

He gave Xun Kuang a chance to test Zi Nu, and he also gave himself a chance to test Xun Kuang, and Zi Nu was the subject.

If Xun Kuang can put aside the existing traditional concepts at this time, break the existing Confucian rules, and sincerely accept Zi Nu as a disciple, such Xun Kuang is worthy of Ying Zheng's greater attention to him. He only had to do this because of the transaction, so when Xun Kuang finished counting and sorting out the Xianyang slips, his role would come to an end.

Confucianism can be used, but corrupt Confucianism cannot be used.

Ying Zheng, who retracted his gaze, fell into deep thought. The Korean matter was almost over. When Xun Kuang's matter was dealt with, he should leave here and return to Xianyang.

In the next five years, he doesn't plan to make any big moves, but there is one thing that must be done. This matter itself is not important to Qin, but it is very important to Ying Zheng.

Because he learned from Li Xin that when King Mu of Zhou traveled west all the way to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there were rumors of an affair with Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun.

But when King Mu of Zhou climbed Kunlun Mountain, he found that the world behind Kunlun Mountain was nothingness and darkness, and the ancestor of Li Xin was one of the people accompanying King Mu of Zhou, so the knowledge about that trip to the west also came from Li Xin. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Xin family.

Ying Zheng, who is familiar with geography, knows exactly what the world after Kunlun Mountain should be like, but what Li Xin told him broke Ying Zheng's existing cognition.

Kunlun Mountain is the end of this world. In Yingzheng's view, this is too far-fetched, what's more, Yingzheng also knows that about 20 years later, there will be a group of stragglers from the far west, lost in the desert , was rescued by Shanyu Touman, the wolf clan at that time.

If the west of Kunlun Mountains is the end of this world, then where did the western stragglers come from?

Is this world still a spherical world as I understand it?The conjecture that the sky is round and the earth has been proved to be wrong in the previous life is correct in this world?
Yingzheng must get a clear answer to these questions. Only when he has a clear understanding of the world can Yingzheng's follow-up plans be developed on this basis.

Otherwise, it is very likely to cause a joke that runs counter to each other.

Is it time to find those yin and yang families who talk about weirdness and unpredictable but are good at astrology and fortune?

Ying Zheng, who had been shattered by the fog of this world, fell into deep thought, and time passed slowly in Ying Zheng's deep thought.

Until Zi Nu came out of the inn with an old man and knocked on the car window.

"Sir, are you satisfied with the disciple I found for you?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile after seeing the person coming.

"Before seeing Zi Nu, I only had accidents, but after seeing Zi Nu, I felt that I should add two words after accident." Xun Kuang cupped his hands and looked at Ying Zheng with both eyes. There is no arrogance or subservience, only calm as water.

"A surprise?" Ying Zheng asked.

"That's right, it was a surprise." Xun Kuang said with a smile.

"Zi Nu really deserves the praise of Mister."

Ying Zheng looked at Zi Nu while talking, only to realize that the hostess of Zi Lan Xuan was a little shy.

Xunzi is curious about what kind of person Yingzheng is, and Yingzheng himself is also full of curiosity about this Confucian master who can write that the blue is better than the blue.

Although Xun Kuang was not seen by the mainstream Confucianism in later generations, Yingzheng liked Xunzi's Exhortation to Learning very much. In the past, Yingzheng just regarded the Exhortation to Learning as a good article written by the ancients That's all.

But after coming to this world and getting to know the world gradually, Ying Zheng realized that Xun Kuang, who can write to encourage learning, is a person who can afford any praise.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that blue is better than blue is enough to make 90.00% of the people in a hundred schools of thought feel ashamed.

This is not only Xun Kuang's wisdom, but also Xun Kuang's bearing, and the matter of Zi Nu's apprenticeship shows Xun Kuang's master bearing.

Faced with such a person, you may not like it, but it is difficult to hate it.

When both parties were interested, it was easy to start a conversation. In this small car, the two people who had already reached the top in their respective fields chatted very speculatively.

Ying Zheng's knowledge is naturally not comparable to Xun Kuang's, but his knowledge is not inferior to the other party's. After all, as a person who has experienced the era of information explosion, knowledge is one of the rare advantages compared with people in this era.

"I take the base of human nature to be evil, and I am not approved by my predecessors. Within Confucianism, although I have the name of a master, I am in an embarrassing position. After all, I am not accepted by Confucian orthodoxy. Wrong?" Following the discussion between the two, Xun Kuang asked a seemingly unimportant but hidden question.

"Have you forgotten, sir, that the state of Qin was founded by the Legalists? Did you ask this question because you thought you could get another answer from Gu?" Ying Zheng replied.

"So, does Your Majesty agree with my point of view?" Xun Kuang asked.

Yingzheng's views on human nature are directly related to the future strategy of Qin's state governance. Xun Kuang must understand this point before he can consider future plans.

"Whether Meng Ke's human nature is inherently good or Mr.'s human nature is inherently evil, I think it is wrong. There is no distinction between good and evil in human nature. I also think so, and even Meng Ke thinks so." Ying Zheng's answer was obviously beyond Xun Kuang's expectations.

"What do you mean by that?" Xun Kuang asked, frowning.

It wasn't because Ying Zheng's answer didn't satisfy Xun Kuang, but because Ying Zheng's answer hit the biggest secret in his heart.

"If it's not because of the environment, why both Meng Ke and Mr. You have established so many theories, trying to shape an ideal world in this way. The theory of temperament has always been your means, not your goal."

Xun Kuang couldn't sit still at this time, because he suddenly realized that he had no secrets at all in front of Ying Zheng.

"Then I don't know what your Majesty thinks of Law and Confucianism?" Xun Kuang couldn't help but ask.

"Legalism uses the law to stop evil, and Confucianism uses virtue to promote goodness. I don't know the answer that Gugu may satisfy, sir?" Ying Zheng replied.

"A very good answer. There are no more than five people in the world who can see this." Xun Kuang sighed.

How many people can understand the simple twelve characters, even his two most proud disciples can't see through it at this time, even in Xun Kuang's view.Li Si may not understand it all his life. Even Han Fei, without decades of effort, can hardly see the key.

The two of them believed in themselves so much that they forgot what they said that blue is better than blue, but they don't have such courage. If they can't see through this point, their future achievements can only be inferior to their own.
