Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

The imperial guards were on alert as if encountering a major enemy.

But the people did not rush into the Han Palace, they just waited quietly outside the palace.

When they saw Gao Jing coming out, all the people knelt down together and said in unison: "Please come back as soon as possible!"

"Please return to the right!"

"Please return to the right!"

This scene of all the people pleading in unison made everyone's scalp tingle.

Li Si's fingers behind his back trembled, he swallowed, and said in a low voice, "Master, Li Si is wrong!"

Gao Jing's heart was also agitated, but he could barely hold his body and mind, and stepped forward to raise his hand.

All of a sudden, everyone was silent and looked at him silently.

Gao Jing looked around everyone, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be back!"

It was just a simple sentence that immediately made everyone smile with peace of mind.

The crowd spontaneously parted ways.

Gao Jing was walking on the road, and the people on both sides were still exhorting from time to time:

"The Right Prime Minister will come back as soon as possible."

"President Right, we'll be waiting for your return."

"Right Prime Minister..."

"Right Prime Minister..."

"..."

Li Si watched this scene, and suddenly understood a sentence in "Mencius": "If you have the right way in the world, you can get the people, and you can win the world. If you can get the people with the way, you can get their hearts, and you can get the people."

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

In the current scene, as long as Gao Jing is willing, he can bring this group of people into Hanwang Palace and replace Hanwang!

Li Si took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and still couldn't help thinking: If one day, I can do what my uncle does, I will die in peace!

……

Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

The preparations for the trip have been packed.

This time back to Qin, Gao Jing didn't bring anyone with him except Dongjun from the Yinyang family.

In order to prevent the struggle between the powerful from affecting the common people, he kept Yan Lingji, Wushuang ghost, and even black and white Xuanjian.

For this reason, Yan Lingji was still the boss unhappy.

The four luxurious carriages once rewarded by the King of Qin, loaded with a load of bamboo slips, carried Gao Jing and Dong Jun, and they set off in such a wobbly way.

Along the way, people kept seeing them off.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they were even more blocked by the people, and it took them a while to get out of Xinzheng.

On the carriage, Dong Jun couldn't help but said, "You never thought of replacing King Han?"

Gao Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what? He who wins the heart of a gentleman wins the princes, and whoever wins the heart of the princes wins the scholar-officials. Neither the Qin State nor the high-level leaders of the other four countries will accept it, and they will definitely send troops to attack.

With the power of South Korea, do you think it can fight?

It will only sacrifice these civilians who have had a hard time getting enough to eat in vain! "

Dong Jun looked deeply at Gao Jing, and said after a while, "I seem to understand you a little bit."

"So, it's much easier for me to understand than the wordless book!" Gao Jing said with a smile.

Speaking of the wordless book, Dong Jun suddenly lost his face, and hummed: "Your wordless book, only you are willing, others can read it!"

Gao Jing laughed, and said, "It's been two years, and you finally figured this out...it's not easy."

Dongjun was speechless.

Both Yan Lingji and Han Fei and the others understand this, but no one told her, and let her ponder hard for two years...

For this reason, Yan Lingji suffered a lot.

"Why doesn't Li Si come with us?"

"He has other tasks."

"Are you so relieved? You don't even bring a guard?"

"If Dong Jun of the Yin Yang family can't protect me, it's useless for others to follow."

"..."

……

After leaving Xinzheng, people came to see them off one after another along the way.

So Gao Jing's carriage moved very slowly, and it was not until seven days later that he left the territory of South Korea and entered the state of Qin.

Wu Sui's border general sent a team of guards to accompany him.

On the day Gao Jing entered the Qin state, fierce conflicts broke out in the Korean court.

On that day, people from three middle clans were demoted and stayed away from the Korean court.

However, Gao Jing has not received any news yet.

He and Dong Jun, with a team of guards, rushed all the way, and finally arrived in Xianyang on the tenth day.

This is Gao Jing's second visit to Xianyang.

Compared with the last time when he came and left in a hurry, this time, he needs to take him with him for a while in Xianyang.

And complete the men of this era, relatively important rituals:

Crown ceremony!

……

The crown ceremony originated in the Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning, men could only perform the crown ceremony when they were 20 years old.

It's just that in order to take charge of the state affairs as soon as possible, most of the princes of the emperor saluted in advance.

King Wen of Zhou won the crown at the age of 12, and King Cheng at the age of 15.

Of course, there are also those who postpone the salute, depending on the situation. For example, Ying Zheng held the crown ceremony at the age of 21.

The reason is nothing more than that Lu Buwei and others were unwilling to give up their power, and they delayed in order to prevent Yingzheng from taking charge of the government.

Naturally, no one delayed Gao Jing's salute. Even in the eyes of scholars from all over the world, Gao Jing should have made the crown ceremony a long time ago, and it was too late to delay until he was 15 years old.

……

As soon as Gao Jing and his party entered Xianyang, they were greeted by someone, an old acquaintance, Zhao Gao!

"Zhao Gao, I have met Lord Shangqing!"

Zhao Gao was still respectful as always, but this time he was followed by six people.

Snare six sword slaves!

Gao Jing glanced at the six people, finally looked at Zhao Gao, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the CRRC Mansion Commander. He is in charge of the net for the king, and he has the deep trust of the king!"

Zhao Gao said respectfully: "Zhao Gao is just the king's servant, Zhao Gao will do what the king says."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "The government order is too modest... 523 By the way, Gao Jing has two unfeeling requests, and I hope the government order will allow it."

Zhao Gao froze for a moment, and said, "Master Shangqing is serious."

Gao Jing said sternly: "Black and White Xuanjian is now serving as the director of South Korea's arrest department, please don't assign him any additional tasks, magistrate, can you?"

"Naturally!" Zhao Gao agreed without hesitation.

Gao Jing said again: "There is also the startled salamander. I met this person by chance back then, and I admired her beauty. I planned to bring her into the mansion, hoping that the magistrate would be able to grow up to be beautiful."

This time Zhao Gao didn't answer in a hurry, but looked deeply at Gao Jing for a moment, and said, "Master Shangqing is good, Zhao Gao has also heard about it... The startled salamander himself can let go of the snare, but the sword..."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "I have no strength to restrain a chicken, and I always need someone to protect me... The love of the government order, Gao Jing's heart, will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

Zhao Gao paused for a moment, then said: "In that case, Zhao Gao agrees!"

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Fu Ling!"

Gao Jing looked overjoyed, and said happily, "I'm really surprised that this girl is so beautiful, Gao Jing can't help it!"

"Master Shangqing is young and admires Shaoai, it is human nature."

Zhao Gao smiled and said: "Your Majesty regards Lord Shangqing highly, and has already prepared a mansion for Shangqing, please come with me."

"It's time to work."

Chapter 130 VII Xunzi

In Xianyang City, Nancheng District, there is a mansion with a huge building area not far from Xianyang Palace.

The mansion has not been lived in for decades.

Because Zhao Gao reached a private deal with Gao Jing, he became a little more enthusiastic at this time, and said, "Shangqing, do you know why no one has lived in this mansion for decades?"

Gao Jing looked up at the building in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be the residence of Lord Wu An Bai Qi back then?"

Zhao Gao was startled: "How did Shangqing know?"

Gao Jing pointed to the surroundings, and said: "Except for this mansion, there have been no other houses around here for decades, which shows that people in Xianyang fear and respect this man, so they respect him at a distance.

There are countless dignitaries in Xianyang, but no one dares to accept this mansion...

It makes the powerful fear and the common people stay away. Apart from Wu An Lord Bai Qi, Gao Jing can't think of anyone else. "

"Shangqing is a great talent, Zhao Gao admires him!"

Zhao Gao's pupils contracted slightly, then relaxed, and said: "Mr. Wu An has killed countless people in his life, so no one dares to live in his residence, but it is said that Lord Shangqing cultivates a noble spirit, and even a little sneakiness will not be able to enter Lord Shangqing's body."

Gao Jing said with a smile: "Gao is a Confucian disciple, he doesn't talk about strange powers and distracting spirits, it's okay to stay here, please thank the majesty for your generosity on my behalf."

"Zhao Gao will definitely convey it."
