Chapter 183: Isn't eradicating heresy what all Confucians should do?
Zhao Kuo returned to the palace, chatted with An Ning and the others for a while, calmed their emotions, and said that he would bring An Ning's family over in a few days to discuss the marriage.
Chulong also returned from Qi State. The two countries set the wedding of Zhao Kuo and Tian Shu in September. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Kuo should marry Tian Shu and An Ning at the same time.
Fortunately, Confucianism is not the only one who worships Confucianism. Otherwise, people like An Ning who live in the palace without getting married would have been scolded by the ministers, and even Zhao Kuo would have been scolded.
As for now, Xunzi and Yu Xin don’t complain, who dares to complain?
Oh, no, someone really dares to complain.
Pierced!
This guy only sprayed Xunzi at first, but Xunzi hadn't returned to Handan yet, so Xunzi couldn't hear him no matter how hard he sprayed.
If the other party can't hear you, what's the point of spraying?
Then I stopped spraying when I was wearing holes. It was against etiquette and law to spray Zhao Kuo instead.
However, this guy is still a bit cautious. He only criticizes Zhao Kuo and not An Ning.
After all, it is natural for a minister to insult the king, but it is not good to insult the concubine.
"Your Majesty, Xunzi is coming back soon." Yu Xin found Zhao Kuo, leaned over and said.
Zhao Kuo didn't understand what Yu Xin meant, but he still nodded: "I will go to greet Xunzi when the time comes."
When important Zhao ministers leave or return to the capital, Zhao Kuo usually sends them out of the city in person or greets them outside the city unless there is something urgent.
Even if the palace made dumplings or steamed buns, Zhao Kuo would send some to the civil and military ministers in the capital for them to try.
Not much, but it can express Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
Whenever Zhao Kuo sees the loyalty shown in everyone's eyes, he feels that everything he has done is worth it.
"That's not it. Xunzi and Kong Chuan started fighting when they met." Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't understand, Yu Xin said directly.
"A fight? Didn't Xunzi and Kong Chuan both know each other in Qi?" Zhao Kuo said strangely.
There was no war in Qi, so why was there a war in Handan?
"Kong Chuan was forced away from Jixia by Xunzi and returned to Jimo." Yu Xin spread his hands and said helplessly.
In the minds of most Confucians, Xunzi is a heretic. As the sixth descendant of Confucius and the representative of Confucian orthodoxy, how could Kong Chuan tolerate the existence of Xunzi?
After Kong Chuan was defeated by Gongsun Long, he heard that Xunzi was serving as a wine sacrifice in Jixia. He rushed over without saying a word, hoping to drive Xunzi out of Jixia.
However, Kong Chuan still underestimated Xunzi's strength. As a person who even Confucius dared to criticize, Xunzi had never taken him seriously.
The so-called Confucian orthodoxy of the Confucian school has completely destroyed the individual.
After finishing this, Xunzi also said that he was the orthodox Confucian, regardless of the lack of blood.
This time, Kongpou was so angry that he took off his Confucian robe and started fucking with Xunzi.
Although Confucianism generally focuses on talking, they never stop using their hands. They will fight if they can't argue with each other. Fist is also a kind of strength. Kong Chuan said that the kind of weak scholar who can't even pick up a spear is definitely not a Confucian.
However, Kong Chuan met his opponent in Xunzi...
Xunzi stroked his sleeves and leaked his muscles, and he could hit him twice.
After being beaten, Kong Chuan still refused to accept the beating.
Then the two competed in the six arts. In addition to fun, Xunzi completed the hole piercing and torture.
In the end, Kong Chuan could only leave Jixia in a gray state.
"There is such a thing! Isn't Kong Bin Kong Chuan's brother? Didn't he help Kong Chuan?" Zhao Kuo frowned and said with some suspicion.
He knew that Xunzi was strong, but brothers Kong Bin and Kong Chuan were not vegetarians, especially Kong Bin, who was the prime minister of Wei at that time.
"At that time, Kong Bin and Kong Chuan drove chariots to attack Xunzi from the left and the right, but they were defeated by Xunzi. That's why Kong Bin went to Wei." Yu Xin said with a smile.
He passed down Xunzi's "Spring and Autumn", and in a sense, Xunzi was his student.
The students are great, and the teachers are naturally proud of them.
So the old man is so strong? The legendary hexagonal warrior is nothing more than that, Zhao Kuo felt a burst of curse in his heart.
"Then what does Yu Qing think we should do?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Didn't I hear that your Majesty wants to build a ferry crossing at the mouth of the river? The person in charge has not been decided yet, why not let Kong Chuan pass through?" Yu Xin said.
There was no difference between closeness and distance, so he had no pressure to stand on Xunzi's side.
Zhao Kuo shook his head. Although this could avoid conflicts between the two of them, it would be unfair to Kong Chuan.
"In other words, Kong Chuan and Xunzi have ideological conflicts, but I am not Xunzi's opponent, right?" Zhao Kuo said, stroking a small tuft of beard at the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know why, but when I was on the battlefield, my beard almost didn’t grow, and now it suddenly appeared, and it grew faster and faster.
"Yes." Yu Xin nodded.
"Whether Xunzi defeated Kong Chuan or Kong Chuan defeated Xunzi, it would not lead to the death of the other party, right?" Zhao Kuo said.
"Then it's easy to handle. Tell Kong Chuan the news that Xunzi will be back soon. Kong Chuan is not Xunzi's opponent, doesn't he still have friends? Friends are not Xunzi's opponents, don't friends still have friends? Shout all you can
Call me, but I don’t believe it. All of them combined are no match for Xunzi? Tell Kong Chuan that I support him.”
Zhao Kuo patted Yu Xin's shoulder and said excitedly.
Those who can make friends with Kong Chuan are not useless, they are all talents.
Moreover, the fight between them and Xunzi will definitely be exciting. When the time comes, they will surround the outside and sell tickets, and then make bets, and they will definitely make a lot of money.
Yu Xin looked at Zhao Kuo dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhao Kuo would come up with such a solution.
After returning, Yu Xin immediately wrote to Xunzi, asking him to be careful. If he had any friends, it would be best to call a few over to support him.
After Xunzi received the letter, he sneered twice: What are friends?
Kong Chuan was overjoyed when he received the news from Zhao Kuo: "I knew the king was on my side. Heretics are heretics after all!"
"I'm going to write a letter and call all my friends here. No, it doesn't have to be friends, they can also be Xun Kuang's enemies. Mencius was criticized by him, so call the Meng family over! Mozi was also criticized
He said that there are still many Mohist disciples in Qi State. By the way, the Mohists in Zhao State can also unite. Well, there is Shen Dao from Legalism, and there are descendants of Hui Shi in Wei State..."
Kong Chuan suddenly realized that there were too many people he could find. Even one of ten people could knock Xunzi down.
No matter how strong you are, it's useless. As long as you're still in the human category, you can't withstand the beatings of this group of people.
Thinking of this, Kong Chuan was so excited that he immediately went to his brother Kong Bin and asked him to call all his friends to give Xunzi a big one to avenge his previous humiliation.
In fact, Kong Bin didn't have that much resentment towards Xunzi. It was Xunzi who defeated the two brothers in an upright and fair manner without using any conspiracy or tricks.
Kong Bin is willing to admit defeat.
However, for the sake of his brothers, he still wrote a letter to his friends and summoned them to Zhao.
This suddenly caused an uproar in the world, and countless Confucian disciples and some disciples of various schools of thought drove towards Zhao.
These people originally dismissed the recruitment order and resisted the attraction of the library, but when they held letters from the Kong Chuan brothers in their hands, they had no choice but to come.
No one else, because the two are the sixth generation descendants of Confucius.
As long as you are a Confucian, you must share the sentiments of Confucius and extend a helping hand to the descendants of Confucius without going too far.
What's more, isn't eradicating heresy what all Confucians should do?
