Chapter 353: The world will eventually return to Qin!
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."
"This is all I have to say. If you want to listen, listen. If you don't listen, just listen."
Finished.
Lu Zhuo also got up and left.
Everyone was left sitting at the table and thinking deeply.
a long time.
Xu Xin said solemnly:
"Dr. Lu is right."
"We really don't have that much choice, and we can't afford to make mistakes. Although our school does not pose a danger to Confucianism and other schools of thought, Confucianism is arrogant, and we, the backward school of thought, will only be looked down upon by Confucianism even more."
"Besides."
"The world is in chaos."
"As long as the First Emperor is safe and there is nothing going on in Guanzhong, the world will eventually fall into the hands of Qin. Even if there is another trouble in the six lands of Shandong, they will never be as good as when the Six Kingdoms were still around. Back then, the Six Kingdoms were still alive and could not defeat Qin, let alone
now?"
"In that case, why bother with it?"
"That's it!"
"I will go back and persuade my disciples to clarify the pros and cons. As for whether they will listen in the end, I can only do my best."
Xu Xin bowed his hands to everyone, stood up and left.
Everyone looked at each other.
At this time, they were also a little shaken.
They were not so determined to leave Xianyang, but the scholars who fled had been persuading and gave many promises and benefits. But now they heard Lu Zhuo and Xu Xin's words, they fell into hesitation.
And after weighing the pros and cons for a while.
They also made a choice.
Continue to stay in Xianyang.
They had not chosen to flee from the beginning, and were already destined to be at odds with Confucianism and other schools of thought. If they really left Xianyang, they would only bring humiliation to themselves, and once they left Xianyang, it would not be that easy to come back.
They are small school sects and cannot stand such trouble.
Xiang Chao looked at everyone for a few times and said: "You may have already made your choice in your heart, and so have I, the Moh family. One of my Moh family members has served in the Qin Dynasty for many years. As a doctor of the Moh family, I, Xiang Chao, should consider them.
.”
"Dr. Lu and Dr. Xu talked a lot earlier."
"I would also like to remind you."
"We can indeed resign, and the court will agree to our resignation, but the court may not really allow us to leave. The court has always been wary of us. The escape of Confucianism and other schools in the past has made the court a little unhappy. If we and others
If you choose to leave again, the court will inevitably not take some drastic actions."
"After all, we are all well-educated people."
"Even if you are not in a high position, you still have a certain reputation in the world. How can the imperial court just let it go? Just sit back and watch us surrender to the enemy?"
"My Mo family is on good terms with Dr. Qin."
"I have also discussed with Dr. Qin to create some artifacts to improve production, but today the only one in the world that can allow me, the Mo family, to display our talents at will is Da Qin."
"You can do whatever you want."
"My Mo family is here to stay!"
Xiang Chao and other Mohist scholars got up and left.
By the Lake of Lunxue, there were fewer and fewer scholars sitting upright. The scholars who were still a little unsteady at first finally confirmed their thoughts after hearing Xiang Chao's words.
Thousands of words.
After all, it's not worth living.
Moreover, if the world is really in chaos, Guanzhong will be the most peaceful place in the world. How can they not see this?
The other scholars looked at each other, got up and left.
However, unlike the sad and desolate appearance when they arrived, their steps were now much firmer and their eyes were sharper.
Cool breeze.
Blowing a lake of ice water also blew away the separation.
While the doctors were leaving, Qin Luoheng had already drafted a memorial. After checking it several times, he took the memorial and walked towards the palace.
He wanted to change the existing scholar appointment system in Qin Dynasty.
Return to your true nature from being a scholar!!!
