After walking around the academy, everyone returned to the lakeside of Lunxue Lake. However, Qin Luoheng was missing. Qin Luoheng had left. Xu Xin and others sat down cross-legged, with a hint of loneliness and sadness in their eyes.

Desolate.

Flowing water.

This is something that scholars like.

Now he seems a little distracted.

Xu Sheng sighed:

"When the wind stops high and the trees are high, and the insects sing their little whistles, people are shorter and longer at the same time."

"It's over now!!!"

"A few years ago, when I first came to the Doctor's Academy, I still wanted to build a career. Did I ever think that in just a few years, the Doctor's Academy would have declined to this extent? By the time all the doctors came to speak one after another, the Doctor's Academy would probably be completely destroyed.

Dead."

“The current situation dictates, and what can be done about it?”

The famous scholar Lu Zhuodao said: "When I came to the Doctor's Academy, I had bad intentions. Now I am just returning to normal. But I want to ask you, do you really want to leave Xianyang and Guanzhong?"

It's quiet all around.

No one responded.

Only the sound of gurgling water could be heard from all around.

See the situation.

Lu Zhuo said: "I will not leave Xianyang."

Xu Sheng said: "Dr. Lu is still thinking about the position of guest minister mentioned by Dr. Qin?"

Lu Zhuo shook his head.

Don't care:

"Of course not."

"Although Dr. Qin is trusted by His Majesty, his status is still low after all. His Majesty may not really believe him. The reason why I chose to stay in Xianyang is actually after careful consideration."

"But today, there is a lot of chaos."

"Except for the land of the old Qin, it is difficult to find peace."

Everyone was silent.

Xiang Chao said: "Since we no longer want to serve as officials in the Qin Dynasty, and we have all decided to leave, I might as well express my feelings. In the past few days, I have been persuaded by Mohist disciples to leave Xianyang and go to Shandong.

The same is probably true for you all in the Six Lands."

Everyone nodded in acknowledgement.

Xu Xindao:

"It's true."

"However, I have good relations with Dr. Qin. Dr. Qin has pointed out the direction for my farm family. I probably won't leave Xianyang easily. I don't care about the position of guest minister mentioned by Dr. Qin. All my farm family wants is a basket of food and a meal."

Drinking it from a ladle is enough to provide food and clothing for all the people."

"As for my disciples, if they want to leave, I will not stop them."

"Although we are not familiar with political affairs, we can still see clearly the formality. The impact of the First Emperor's critical illness on the world is really far-reaching. It not only allowed the nobles of the six countries who were originally strictly controlled by the government to successfully escape, but also allowed a large number of intellectuals to escape.

People run away."

"I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!"

"Leaving the Qin Palace is actually to protect yourself."

Lu Zhuo nodded slightly.

Then he said:

"I feel the same way about that."

"However, even if the world is in chaos, it will only be in chaos. This is also the reason why I chose to stay in Xianyang. I have met you once. Although we have often criticized and scolded each other in the past, we still have some friendship. I

But I don’t want you to fall into danger.”

"The world is really in chaos."

"It's actually hard for you to be brave."

"Perhaps you may think that I am exaggerating, but this is actually our current situation. That day Confucianism and other schools of thought fled, and everyone present may have noticed it. Now these schools of thought are sending people to recruit you. In fact, they just don't want you to be used by Qin.

.”

"But I won't really reuse you."

Everyone frowned slightly.

Lu Zhuo said:

"It has been a month since Confucianism and other schools of thought escaped. After such a long time, those who escaped safely are now safe. Those who were caught were naturally arrested. But we did not escape with them at the time, and this is

We have already drawn a line with them."

"Will they accept us willingly?"

"Won't."

"At least Confucianism doesn't!"

"Confucianism has become very close to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in recent years. If Confucianism speaks out, how can the nobles of the Six Kingdoms offend Confucianism? And Confucianism's attitude towards our school of thought has long been known to you. Confucianism has never looked at me directly.

wait."

"Now I'm afraid it will be even worse."

"I actually don't like Legalism either."

"I even hate Legalism. In my opinion, Legalism is too ruthless and the laws are too strict. It is simply a tyranny and harsh laws. But to be fair, I am still more willing to work with Legalism than Confucianism."

"As for the reason?"

"Dr. Qin has actually made it clear."

"No matter how cold and ruthless Legalism is, it is based on laws and regulations, and everything must be decided according to the regulations. However, Confucianism is different. All Confucian idealism, so-called justice and right and wrong, completely depend on the words of Confucian scholars. I am afraid it will be difficult to end up well if you work with Confucianists.

"

"We didn't choose to flee at the beginning, so we were destined to change with the times. The world may be in chaos now, but only the land of Old Qin can maintain stability, and I don't think this chaos will really happen.

Lasts a long time.”

"Would you like to hear the details?" Xiang Chao said, cupping his hands.

Lu Zhuo sat upright and said calmly: "We met Dr. Qin earlier. How do you think Dr. Qin compares to the past?"

Xu Xindao:

"A lot more stable."

"Dr. Qin used to be somewhat naive and delusional. Over the past six months or so, his character seems to have been polished. His whole person has undergone considerable transformation and his temperament has become more stable."

Lu Zhuo nodded.

said:

"Dr. Qin is indeed much calmer and obviously more rigorous in his work, but have you heard what he said before that he knows the current situation in the world, and Dr. Qin is a close minister of His Majesty. Even Dr. Qin can see it. Could it be that His Majesty can't see it?

out?"

There was a strange look in everyone's eyes.

Lu Zhuo said again:

"Since Qin Luoheng can say it so casually, I am afraid that the imperial court has already thought of a countermeasure, and as long as there is no chaos in Guanzhong, even if the six areas of Shandong are in chaos, Da Qin can still cope with it. At worst, Da Qin will sweep the six areas again."

country'."

"Da Qin obviously has this ability!"

"It's just that the imperial court will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary, because sending troops to clean up the six areas again will undoubtedly declare to the world that the New Deal of the Qin Dynasty in the past six years has failed. This is tantamount to a slap in His Majesty's face."

"And this is actually one of the reasons for the corruption in the Six Lands."

"Because the imperial court has always been scrupulous and does not want to inflame the hatred of the people in the six places again, but if war really breaks out in the six places, your majesty may not be able to let go of this face. By then, how can the mob in the six places be the opponent of Great Qin?

"

"The so-called chaos in the world is only temporary after all."

"If we go to the six places, I'm afraid we will inevitably be involved in chaos. Our school will become even more declining. Once something goes wrong, I'm afraid there will be no chance of recovery."

"I advise you to think carefully."

"At least......"

"Before the chaos in the world has truly taken shape, don't make hasty decisions easily, let alone choose to take refuge easily, because we don't have so many opportunities to choose. Once we make a mistake, it will be a disaster for our respective schools."
