Chapter 65: Learning well will lead to officialdom, which is also the great lesson of our ancestors!

Inside the side hall.

Zixiang's expression was gloomy and he let the blood flow from his forehead.

When Kong Yu saw Zixiang, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, Zixiang, I have told you a long time ago that what you said to me is acceptable, but if you say it to the eldest son, you are undoubtedly asking for trouble.

"

"What's the matter with you?"

Zixiang bowed and said:

"Brother, what you said is wrong."

"I know that the eldest son will not listen to those words, but I insist on saying them."

"Why?" Kong Kun was puzzled.

Zixiang said: "Some things are indeed not easy to succeed, but you still have to try with all your strength. If the eldest son really dares to make a desperate move, I, the Confucian, may not be able to accompany the eldest son to make a gamble."

"pity......"

"The eldest son is still too gentle."

Kong Yu said in a deep voice:

"Great government is not a game, how can we be so rash?"

"The person you are plotting against is still the son of the First Emperor. This is even more difficult."

"Even if your plan succeeds and poisons the ten young masters, if the First Emperor finds out, our Confucian family will definitely suffer the disaster of annihilation. Now hundreds of schools have withered, but the backbone of our Confucian family still exists, and the doctor's academy is now under our control.

It’s possible that we can’t take a long-term approach.”

"Why are you so impatient?"

Zixiang said with emotion:

"It's not because I'm anxious, it's because of the current situation."

"Among the sons of the First Emperor, except for the eldest son, all the others take Legalism as their teachers. However, the eldest son is far ahead at the moment. But if those ten sons are really 'resurrected', then there will be variables in the court."

"Qin's government despises Confucianism."

"We originally thought that the First Emperor set up a doctoral academy to reuse people from hundreds of schools. But what happened? Although we are called doctors, we are actually just like a small scribe, just here to answer the First Emperor's questions. Isn't this right?

Is this my Confucian ambition?"

"Now that the Legalists dominate the court, we are getting less and less attention."

"If the eldest son cannot successfully succeed to the throne, and I, the Confucian family, continue to follow the Qin government, we will only end up alive, but it is almost impossible to change the decline of the court."

"I, the Confucian, cannot afford to lose!"

"If the eldest son cannot succeed to the throne, the Qin government will only become more contemptuous of Confucianism, and may even rectify Confucianism because of our support of the eldest son. By then, the survival of Confucianism will really be at a critical moment."

Kong Yu's face darkened.

whispered:

"I, the nine generations of Confucius, have devoted themselves to scholarship as a career, so I am involved in this..."

Zixiang interrupted:

"Brother, why should you deceive yourself?"

"I, the Confucian disciple, are really focused on studying?"

“Since our ancestor Confucius, haven’t the Confucian Confucian generation been working tirelessly to realize their own political learning?”

"If you learn well, you will become an official. This is the great teaching of our ancestors."

"The ancestors recounted Yao and Shun, chartered civil and military affairs, this is the great ambition of our ancestors."

"Confucianism is the study of political affairs. If we leave it, it will be like a leaf separated from water, completely losing its life."

"The Qin Confucians have been alienated and the Qin Confucians have been indifferent to each other for a long time."

"If we fail to seize the opportunity of the eldest son's pro-Confucianism, and wait for the monarch who advocates Legalism to come forward, the living space of our Confucianism will only become smaller and smaller, and we may even disappear completely like other schools of thought."

"As descendants of Confucius, how can we sit back and watch?"

Kong Yu let out a long sigh.

"well."

"How could I not know these truths?"

"But the eldest son doesn't want to, what can we do?"

"We can't act in private, otherwise we will only be hated by the eldest son. Not only will Confucianism not be prosperous, but it will also cause the eldest son to betray us. In that case, the gain will really outweigh the losses."

Zixiang looked around and whispered: "I was staying in the side hall just now, but I thought of a way to strengthen Confucianism."

"What can I do?" Kong Yu looked curious.

Zixiang whispered:

"Today, the main body of our Confucian school is still there, with hundreds of Confucian disciples, and everyone is full of poems and books. This is such a considerable force. If we break it into parts, disperse the disciples to different places, open private schools, and promote our Confucian way of government.

"

"Given time, Confucianism will spread all over the world, and it may not be able to shake the legal system."

Kong Yu's face changed slightly.

He said in panic:

"Zixiang, how dare you say such nonsense?"

"Back when the First Emperor ruled the world, he personally issued an edict prohibiting private schools throughout the country. If we go to local places to open private schools, wouldn't we be disobeying the order?"

"This is for the Yi tribe!"

Zixiang sneered.

Disdainfully said:

"Brother, you are always so alarmist. Confucianism and Legalism are not correct at all. Legalists have always believed that 'Confucianism is confusing the law with literature'. How have they ever considered our Confucianism good?"

"Great Qin does restrict private education, but schools cannot be spread to the countryside. Moreover, Great Qin's control over the six regions of Shandong is not that strong. We Confucians go deep into the local areas to cultivate talents for Great Qin."

"What's wrong with this?"

"And we also have to think about ourselves."

"If the eldest son cannot succeed to the throne, then our Confucian school will completely lose its power. In time, how will we be different from those schools that have disappeared?"

"After we become saints, how can we sit back and wait for death?"

Kong Yu stared at Zi Xiang closely, his heart already full of horror.

He couldn't imagine it.

How dare Zixiang have such crazy thoughts.

but......

He was indeed moved.

Kong Yu said: "If we do this, where will we leave the eldest son?"

Zixiang smiled and said:

"Brother, why do you say this?"

"If the eldest son succeeds to the throne, the talents we have cultivated in the local area can be immediately used by the eldest son. If the eldest son loses the throne, we will also reserve the fire for Confucianism so that Confucianism will not be completely overthrown."

"Brother, you should keep this in mind."

"No matter whether the eldest son succeeds to the throne in the future, one thing that cannot be changed is the separation of Qin and Confucianism. These hundreds of years of prejudice cannot be changed overnight. What we can do is to continue to strengthen Confucianism."

"Let Confucianism become a truly prominent school."

"And we must stand on our own in the world and become the ruler of world literature!"

"Only in this way."

"Only as a Confucian can we be invincible!"

Kong Yu’s eyes moved slightly.

He also made up his mind.

He said in a deep voice:

"What Brother Xiang said is absolutely true."

"It's nothing more than my old father saying that my brother Xiang has the talent to serve as a king's assistant."

“It really lives up to its name.”

Then Kong Kun seemed to have thought of something, and asked curiously: "Then how will Brother Xiang prepare to deal with these ten young masters?"

Zixiang chuckled and said:

"I remember there were several Confucian students in the school."

"Let them test the political views of this tenth young master. If he is pro-Confucian, that would be a good thing. If he is far away from Confucianism, then we can only help the eldest young master."

"But these are secondary."

"Since the eldest son wants to fight openly and honestly, let him fight it out. We Confucians only need to do our own thing well, and let the rest take its course."

"But if the Tenth Young Master can be made evil by the First Emperor, we can do our best."

"after all......"

"The eldest son is our favorite candidate."

"What Brother Xiang said is absolutely true. I will make arrangements right away." Kong Kun smiled and nodded, then seemed to have thought of something, and warned: "Brother Xiang's plan must not be told to anyone else. Although this doctor's academy is

Let me, Confucianism, take the lead, but we must also be careful that walls have ears."

Zixiang nodded and said:

"Brother, don't worry, I know what's going on."

The two looked at each other, laughed loudly, and walked out of the side hall.
