Chapter 25: Angry-eyed Confucius holding a sword - convincing people with reason
The results of King Wei's treatment came out the next day. Under the gaze of everyone, King Wei was beheaded. At that time, he was still wearing King Wei's dress and was killed by a naked fat white man holding a nine-foot chain.
With a machete, it will be gone after just one swipe.
Looking at this scene, different people had different reactions. But they all realized one thing: Times have changed!
The era when princes and princes were superior is really gone!
In today's era, apart from the politics of the Qin king, Qin's law is the greatest! Even the king of Wei was so insane that he was sentenced to beheaded for the crime of opposing Yanhuang and the crimes of opposing the Xia!
This is the King of Wei, the real king, and one of the most precious people in the world today. When Shang Yang carried out the reform, he first tried to establish his trust, and finally he exiled the prince to let the people of Qin know that the reform was serious.
.
Today, the King of Wei used his head to tell the people of the Six Kingdoms that a new era is coming. You can either get on the train or die with the old era!
At the same time, the King of Wei was demoted to the rank of Wei Bo, and a lucky boy from a remote branch of the Wei King's lineage became the new Wei Bo, with a fiefdom of only thirty miles.
The nobles in the Wei capital were also reviewed in accordance with Qin law, and none of them were still alive. Even if they were alive, they were all forcibly relocated.
Those who refuse to surrender will be demoted as slaves!
Anyone who has knowledge and martial arts skills and does not surrender will be killed directly!
From a military perspective, this is to let the world know that surrender and resistance are two different treatments. From a heavenly perspective, this is to prevent the princes from harming the people too much and to preserve the vitality of the main world.
Many people couldn't accept this and left directly. But there were also some people who happily accepted it all.
In the palace, a lot of old Master Xun was wearing a rare Confucian robe today. Originally, given his status and age, he had long been in a state where he could do whatever he wanted without violating the rules.
But today, for the sake of the future of Confucianism, I have to be cautious, wear my clothes carefully, and walk with a certain look. I don't mean to look like a prince in white clothes at all.
"Reporting back to your Majesty, I, the Confucian, are also willing to completely surrender to the empire. Nine out of ten Confucian backbones in the Little Sage Village have also been brought. Only part of the inheritance is left there. If Qi is destroyed, then it will be destroyed."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded: "I understand Confucianism. Ren is a very good concept. The theory is very good, but the practice is not so good. And what I, Da Qin, value most is not what you say.
It sounds nice, but it’s about what you actually did. Master, do you understand what I’m saying?”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I studied Confucianism before I was forty years old. By the time I was forty, I was proficient in the Six Arts. After I was forty years old, I began to study hundreds of schools of thought and extensively studied astronomy and geography. Now I no longer stick to the Confucianism of the Confucius."
"The core of our Confucianism is benevolence. As long as this core is not lost, the rest can be changed. It doesn't matter. Your Majesty, let's see."
At this point, a painting appeared on Xunzi's hand. The content of the painting was a broad-foreheaded Confucius with an angry look and a sword in hand.
This is a portrait of Master Kong himself. It shows him holding a sharp sword in his right hand and his eyes glaring, as if he is about to run out of the portrait and kill someone.
Coupled with the figure of Confucius himself, a serious Shandong man, full of muscles, holding a sword and glaring angrily, who would dare to despise such a scholar?
"This is the New Confucianism of the future. We talk about truth with our mouths and carry swords on our bodies. Those who can reason can reason with us. Those who can't reason with us will be sent to see the Master and let the Master continue to reason with him."
It's a bit interesting. This kind of Confucianism is different from the later Confucianism of the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Confucianism at that time had already become a religion.
Confucius is the God of this religion, the biggest one in this religion. The other great Confucians are the big leaders of the religion, and the scholars below are the believers of the religion.
As for imperial power, with the exception of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial power of the Song and Ming dynasties was even inferior to that of Confucius. For this reason, no emperor could be fond of Confucianism.
"Um."
Ying Zheng just said yes, and then nothing happened. He was not Chongzhen. Yuan Chonghuan believed whatever Chongzhen said. He was just a fool.
No matter how nice Xunzi's words are at the moment, we have to wait until they make the actual situation, truly start to change, and make contributions to the empire!
Seeing that Ying Zheng showed no sign of expression at all, what could Xunzi do? He waved his sleeves and walked away, shouting that I don’t want to serve him anymore?! Just thinking about it, after a few breaths, he took out a box
.
After opening it, it was a jade bamboo slip.
"These are the Spring and Autumn Slips, which were sent down from heaven by the Master before his ascension. They contain the most orthodox teachings of my Confucianism."
After taking the Spring and Autumn Slips, Ying Zheng began to examine them. When he opened them, his eyes automatically fell into an illusion, which had almost the same operating mode as the Taoist Snow Ji Sword.
"Do review after learning……"
"Friends come from far away……"
"People don't know but are not surprised..."
Listening to Master Kong's lectures, Ying Zheng slowly understood.
Unlike the golden elixir path left by Laozi, the six martial arts passed down by Confucius are very basic. To what extent are they basic? Even if one of the six martial arts is practiced to the point of great success, it will be very basic.
Just broke through the innate.
The Six Arts of Confucianism, Poems, Books, Ritual, Music, and the Spring and Autumn Period correspond to the six qi-training methods that directly point to the innate. They are just innate, which is simply unbelievable. However, this is the fact. These six qi-training methods are the fundamental inheritance of Confucianism.
After a moment, Ying Zheng nodded. He already understood the secret: "As expected of Confucius."
Although each skill is very basic when taken individually, any one of them can be integrated with each other. Only those who find their own way can use their own ideas to integrate any two of them to become a master.
The fusion of the four sects is the Grand Master, and the fusion of all six sects is the Supreme Grand Master.
At this point, you can understand the Spring and Autumn Slips left by Confucius and understand the essence of the saints. On this basis, you can walk your own path and sublimate it into the Tao, and you will be a master at the level of an ancient real person.
It seems that it is just a very simple and basic six innate skills, but in fact it is the foundation of Confucianism. Those who can be promoted to master through this method must have their own unique ideas. These ideas are the prototype of Tao, the young seedlings.
The way of state.
Then each time a skill is integrated, the young seedling will grow once. Directly until the young seedling grows into a towering tree, every step can be said to be simple and clear.
Compared with those mysterious and mysterious inheritances, it is much better. This is teaching people to fish!
"The other schools of thought are inferior to each other from generation to generation, but Confucianism has been innovating from generation to generation. After Confucius, there was Mr. Zixia who kept pace with the times, and then there was Mr. Mencius, who was awe-inspiring and upright, and there were even Mr. Zixia who was more like the Legalists.
Disciples of Confucianism."
"If the Master is still here, it would be more appropriate for him to take charge of education matters. It would be a pity." Ying Zheng said seriously.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the core of Confucius' lifelong education of his disciples. It is easy to say these four words, but it is almost impossible to do it, or even to do it for a lifetime.
Although this Spring and Autumn Slip is not as powerful as the four great machine beasts left by Mozi in terms of combat, it can train Confucian masters and great masters one after another.
"I heard that Mr. Qin has begun to study Qin's Law, so I gave this latest version of Qin's Law to you. I would like to give you a final message: The sky is big and the earth is big, Qin's Law is the biggest!"
