Chapter 395 Xunzi is old, but the future of Daqin is new!
Faced with Ying Zheng's repeated questions, Xunzi fell silent. He could not answer at all. If he objected, it would be contrary to their Confucian ideas.
After all, from the beginning, Confucianism emphasized the ethics of monarch, minister, father, father and son, among which the idea of loyalty to the emperor was the biggest selling point of Confucianism.
Xunzi knew very well that this point must not be abandoned, otherwise Confucianism would become a gorgeous skin without any support.
As a Confucian semi-sage, he naturally wanted to protect Confucianism, just like the King of Qin wanted to protect the Qin State.
At this moment, Xunzi could only respond with silence.
Even Xunzi was dissatisfied with the actions of the Qin Mo giant. In his opinion, neither Confucianism nor other schools of thought should go against the imperial court.
Especially this kind of confrontation with the court of his own country was quite stupid in Xunzi's opinion.
"King Qin, if Great Qin annexes the six kingdoms, how do you plan to deal with the various schools of thought?" After a moment of silence, Xunzi turned to Ying Zheng and said.
As people get older, their skin becomes thicker.
Xunzi was not at all embarrassed by Ying Zheng's questioning, and seemed as relaxed as discussing Confucian classics with his younger generation.
After hearing this, Ying Zheng was silent for a while, watching Xunzi smile and say nothing. He didn't really want to answer this matter, because he knew in his heart that Confucianism would never surrender to the Qin Dynasty no matter what.
And he does not need Confucian submission. He would have considered this in the past, but now that Ying Gao is promoting the university and academy system, as long as it lasts long enough, a steady stream of talents will inevitably emerge in the Great Qin court.
When the talented Qin Dynasty can be self-sufficient, the influence of various schools of thought on the Qin Dynasty will be suddenly weakened to the extreme. Therefore, Ying Zheng did not answer.
At this moment, in order not to make the situation embarrassing, Ying Zheng turned to Xunzi and said: "Xunsheng needs to understand this issue himself."
"Let's see what contribution Confucianism can make to the people of Qin and the Qin court by entering Qin, instead of just thinking about how to deal with it!"
"During the Warring States Period, natural selection was the rule, survival of the fittest, and survival of the fittest in all things in the world."
"If Confucianism cannot play a role, under the influence of time, its demise is only a matter of time. If Xun Sheng has time, he can go to Xianyang Xicheng, take a walk, and take a look. Maybe Xun Sheng will understand."
"Since King Qin has said so, I must go and see what is there in Xianyang West City that can make King Qin so confident!"
Xunzi naturally understood the subtext of Ying Zheng's words, and couldn't help but become interested in the west city of Xianyang City. He knew in his heart that Ying Zheng was not a boastful person.
"If you have any doubts, please ask King Qin to give you some advice when the time comes!" After saying that, Xunzi bowed to Ying Zheng and then exited Xianyang Palace.
"old man!"
With a sigh, Ying Zheng shook his head and looked at the bamboo slips on the long case again, as if none of this had ever happened.
…
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Xunzi did not return to Yixi Winery, but turned to Fu Nian and said, "Fu Nian, if you don't want to go back to the winery, let's go to Xianyang Xicheng first."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fu Nian helped Xunzi get into the car, and then drove west. On the way, Fu Nian just said, "Teacher, what is the attitude of King Qin when we go to Xianyang Palace?"
Hearing this, when Xunzi thought of the embarrassment of being questioned by Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at Fu Nian: "The King of Qin's attitude is kind, but I was stopped by the King of Qin."
"The great master Qin Mo was too arrogant. He was in the Qin State, but he did not respect the edict of the King of Qin. Instead, he asked a prince from the country to go to the mountain to pay respects. It is not surprising that the young master was so angry that he mobilized an army of 200,000 to attack Qin Mo."
Seeing Xunzi's change of stance, Fu Nian became a little solemn and couldn't help but said to Xunzi: "Why did the teacher change his attitude? Now that Young Master Gao has killed Qi Mo, I don't know who will be Chu Mo or Qin Mo next!"
"
"My Confucian philosophy is about loyalty to the emperor, not rebellion!"
"The King of Qin said it was not about how he dealt with Confucianism, but how Confucianism could help the Qin court or the people of Qin!"
"If you can't help, it will die out sooner or later under the influence of time. King Qin asked me to go to Xianyang Xicheng to have a look and see it!"
…
As the chariot rumbled along, Fu Nian frowned. He knew in his heart that there had always been schools in the Qin State to train officials. After all, the Qin State had always respected the law as teaching and officials as teachers.
But the Qin State wanted to annex the six Shandong countries, and its extremely large territory required a large number of officials. Officials from various places could be easily obtained without being conscripted soldiers.
The schools in Da Qin were simply not enough to supply, but this time the King of Qin clearly rejected Confucianism, which Fu Nian couldn't understand.
Perhaps, in Xianyang Xicheng, all mysteries will have answers.
…
In the shogunate.
Ying Gao was a little bored, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, thinking about the next change in the world situation, while Wang Jian was handling military affairs.
"General Ying, news came from Jingyesi that the little sage Zhuang Xun Sheng and Fu Nian went to Xianyang and stayed at Yixi Winery. Then Xun Sheng entered Xianyang Palace and met with the king."
Hearing what Master Sima said, Ying Gao chuckled. He knew in his heart that with Ying Zheng in Xianyang, everything would be fine.
"Xunzi is already old, but the world is changing with each passing day. How can a half-sage who is about to rotten wood predict how great the Qin Dynasty will be in the future?"
"Confucianism did not play a big role in the Qin Dynasty. Not only the Qin court knew this, but the Confucian scholars also knew it."
"So, no matter what time comes, Da Qin and Confucianism cannot coexist, unless the next king of Da Qin abandons Qin law and chooses Confucianism."
…
Ying Gao naturally knew the purpose and ideas of Confucianism. In history, they successfully seduce the young master Fusu and cultivated the successor of an empire into a Confucian fighter.
However, in this era, he Ying Gao Hengkong came into the world, which completely blocked the path of Confucianism, so Xunzi entered Qin.
"Sir, as the only saint of the Warring States Period, Xunzi's influence cannot be underestimated. I believe you can understand this!"
Putting down the bamboo slips in his hands, Wang Jian looked at Ying Gao and warned, "Never underestimate anyone, let alone someone like Xunzi."
"Students have never underestimated Xunzi, but no one knows the future, but it is obvious that it will be difficult to integrate Confucianism and Qin law, unless the father insists on changing it in the future."
"Otherwise, the merits of Great Qin, the people of Old Qin, and the Old Qin family will all be opponents. No one except my father can suppress these ghosts and snake gods."
