Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

"For... really spare no effort..."

"If Gao Jing is in our country, the king will not be inferior to the king of Qin..."

"Gao Jing is worthy of the king of Qin..."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Gao Jing on the stage felt that the name "Yin Man" was somewhat familiar, and subconsciously grasped the wordless book at his waist.

Sure enough, I remembered!

Yingyinman, the daughter of Yingzheng, also known as Yingyangzi, Ying surname, Qin family, Qin II was dismembered and killed by Hu Hai, and later generations were dug out.

Still a celebrity!

Gao Jing grinned, a little helpless.

……

Now that he is engaged to Ying Yinman, Gao Jing is the son-in-law of the Ying clan, so he naturally wants to visit the Ying clan.

The Ying family members seemed to have known the news for a long time, and they all gathered in a hall to prevent Gao Jing from running around.

Not surprisingly, King Qin is also here.

"Greetings to the King of Qin, and all the family members!"

The King of Qin seemed very happy, and laughed loudly: "Haha, my Great Qin's Daliang Zao is here!"

An old man next to him said: "Your Majesty, it should be said that my son-in-law with the surname Ying is here!"

"exactly!"

King Qin came over, stood in front of Gao Jing, and said, "Jing Chun, now you and the widow are a family!"

I just want to help you rule the world, but you want to be my father?

Gao Jing didn't know how to complain, but on the surface he said respectfully: "Jing Chun, thank you for your great love, and I will spare no effort for Da Qin!"

"Haha, Jing Chun's words are enough!"

The King of Qin took Gao Jing's hand and said, "The widow will introduce you, this is Weiyang Lord Yingxi, Zongzheng of Ying's clan."

"Meet Zongzheng!"

Lord Weiyang smiled and said: "We have heard of Jing Chun's name for a long time, and we will be a family from now on!"

"Yes, Jing Chun, remember!"

"This is……"

"This is……"

After a round of introductions, those who can come to this temple can be regarded as high status among the clan.

It's just that after Yingzheng seized power from Lu Buwei, he didn't reuse his clan relatives, which resulted in these people not having real power and official positions.

In other words, the Chu family dominates the current state of Qin.

After the introduction, each sit down.

Gao Jing is now made by Daliang of the Qin State, and his seat is only under the King of Qin, which shows the decline of the clan.

"Your Majesty, all clansmen."

Gao Jing sat on his knees, thought for a while, and then said, "I've heard that it's unwise to tell if you don't know it; it's disloyal if you don't tell it if you know it.

Now that I am a member of the Great Liang of the Qin State and a member of the clan, I can say something. "

Qin Wang smiled and said: "Jing Chun, just say it. All clan members should listen to it. Even the widows have benefited a lot from Jing Chun's words."

Gao Jing saluted the King of Qin, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the way to be a king lies in balance..."

As a result, as soon as the conversation started, it was interrupted.

Zhao Gao trotted in hastily, leaned close to King Qin's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, all schools of thought are arguing."

King Qin was taken aback: "Why are you arguing?"

Zhao Gao turned his eyes to Gao Jing and said, "When they were talking about Daliangzao's administration in Korea, they quarreled because of their different opinions."

Gao Jing said helplessly: "Your Majesty, schools of thought have different ideas, and it is normal to have occasional disputes."

Well, the reality is that when all schools of thought get together, they will inevitably quarrel and even fight.

It's just that Gao Jing didn't expect that Xunzi, the highest seniority, would not give any face to the sages of the time.

King Qin's eyes lit up when he arrived, and he said: "Arguing over the administration? I want to hear the opinions of hundreds of schools. Jing Chun and I will go together, how about it?"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???????????????

What else can Gao Jing do?All he could say was, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Clan members, when the widow and Daliangzao come back later, they are listening to Daliangzao's "The Way of Being a King"."

"Here!"

……

Qin Wang and Gao Jing came to the main hall where hundreds of families were housed, and when they arrived at the door, they heard the quarrel inside:

"...The sharp blade is in front, the torture equipment is behind, but the soldiers still run away and cannot fight to the death. It is because the monarchs of the six countries cannot make them fight to the death. Those who say they want to be rewarded are not given, and those who are said to be punished are not carried out. The reward and punishment are untrustworthy..."

King Qin said, "It's Li Si."

Gao Jing also nodded, and said, "The words of the Legalists."

When the two entered the room, they saw that the room was in full swing. Although they were still restrained, they could already feel the confrontation between each other.

...... ......

Because no one noticed them coming in.

King Qin didn't care, he took Gao Jing to find Xunzi who was hiding aside, and knelt down beside him.

"Why didn't senior brother stop?" Gao Jing asked.

Xunzi drank his tea calmly and said, "Why do you want to stop such a grand occasion of contention among a hundred schools of thought?"

Qin Wang also nodded and said: "There is no need to stop, I just want to listen."

"wrong!"

Fu Nian jumped out to refute Li Si, saying: "I heard that the mold for casting swords is straight, the quality of copper and tin is good, the skill of the swordsmiths is superb, and the ingredients for the fire are just right. In this way, the sword is cast when the mold is opened.

However, if the sword is not quenched and sharpened, it cannot even cut the rope; after quenching and sharpening, even if it is used to cut copper, it is easy to kill cattle and horses.

The people of a country are like a sword just out of the mould.But if you don't educate them and make them harmonious, then you can't rely on them to defend the country at home, and you can't use them to fight abroad..."

"wrong!"

This time it was Gongsun Long's turn to jump out and refute Fu Nian: "When the name and reality are confused, the monarch and his ministers fight and the orders are inconsistent.

In this way of "unclearness", the name and reality will not correspond to each other, the name will not match the reality, the reality will not be named, and evil will be full of truth and confusion.

Violation of the "ambiguity" will inevitably lead to the loss of governance, and there is no way to correct the name and reality in order to unify the world! "

"No..." Mouth.

Chapter 140 Seven Controversies

"...how can a country be governed solely by "name" and "truth"?"

"Only have a strong military force, but can't care about the people. Even if you defeat the enemy, this kind of victory will not be long-term!"

"Having the position of power to subdue others, implementing measures to subdue others, and no one in the world resents them. Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou are such people."

"Having the position of power to subdue others, but not implementing measures to subdue others, then, once rich enough to have the power to rule the world, but now it is impossible to be a commoner. Xia Jie and Shang Zhou are such people. "

"That's ridiculous!"

"Nowadays the princes are fighting with each other, wishing to kill each other, destroy each other's temple, and not give him a chance to worship..."

"No, no, right now, the treasury of the six countries is not satisfied, the granary is empty, the "May Five Three" is conscripted to send out the people of the whole country, and the army is expanded by tens of millions..."

"Wrong! Big mistake! The peaceful ones will perish with chaotic attacks, the righteous ones will perish with evil attacks, and the perverted ones will perish according to the laws of nature..."

"..."

The quarrel has escalated.

They have even started to attack each other personally.

"...Your father is at fault. As a son, you can remind him, but will you resent your father?"

"Confucians of the Meng family compared the relationship between the king and the people to water and boats, not to father and son... What we say is no respect, respect, but the king and the people are equal, and each has its own obligations. Farming, the king will rule the country..."

"Their relationship is not father and son, but a relationship of equal friends, helping each other, and supporting each other!"

"Famous masters, shut up! It's because people in the world ignore such a relationship of superiority and inferiority, that rebels rebelled, killed kings, and killed fathers. These faults are all because of you famous masters!"

"The Mohists wear such luxurious clothes, have they forgotten the philosophy of Mozi?"

"The Mohists need to keep their heads down to find the right way. The Confucianists just look at those who walk in front of them and follow their footsteps."

"If you don't accumulate the experience of the predecessors, you only know how to charge forward arrogantly, and finally fall off the cliff, it is a person like Mo Zhe who can continuously accumulate experience, through learning, follow the path left by the predecessors, It is people like Confucians who are constantly groping!"

"I heard that the two do not interfere with each other, and the two do not interfere with each other. The overall harmony of the society can be achieved through the self-improvement of the individual..."

"Oh? I thought that the scholars of Yang Zhu's theory are still in some deep mountain and old forest alone, so why don't you hide in the deep mountain?"

"Happiness is the equality recognized by the people. People want a society without the burden of corvee, rent and tax. The princes squeeze the people and don't give them the equality they want. If there is no ruler, maybe the people can get real happiness..."

"A Taoist beast with no father and no king..."

"A Confucian hypocrite who speaks eloquently..."

"I've heard that human beings have their own language, and beasts have their own language...why can't I understand what you're saying?"

"Then you have to study human language well. How can you understand human speech if you only master the language of beasts?"

"..."
