Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

"Zhang Cang, you are such a shameless villain!"

"In order to please the Crown Prince Fusu, he tampered with the thoughts of Confucian sages."

"How can you face Xunzi, the wise man, in the afterlife?"

"I am simply ashamed to be associated with you!"

"You are a Confucian thief! You are not worthy of being a Confucian scholar."

"It is really unfortunate for Xunzi that he has a traitor like you who tampered with his thoughts."

"How pathetic is Xunzi that all his disciples turned their backs on him"

"Xunzi really has no ability to judge people, as he accepts all kinds of disciples."

After seeing that the"Minister of Rites Zhang Cang" on the sky curtain chose to modify the words of the Confucian classics in order to cater to the great unification of Prince Fusu in ideology and culture, a group of Confucian doctors headed by Chunyu Yue began to scold Zhang Cang in this world.

In the end, they not only scolded Zhang Cang, but also opened a map cannon, and scolded other disciples that Xunzi had previously accepted, and even Xunzi himself.

Well, among the other disciples scolded, Li Si and Han Fei were referring to.

There is no way, because among all the disciples accepted by Xunzi, Li Si and Han Fei had the greatest achievements and the highest reputation.

But these two disciples with the greatest achievements and the highest reputation, after being painstakingly taught by Xunzi, were not their Confucian disciples, but turned around and became disciples of the Legalists..

This is simply a slap in the face of Confucianism!

After much difficulty, among the disciples taught by Xunzi, there emerged another Zhang Cang, whose future achievements and reputation may not be inferior to those of Li Si and Han Fei.

As a result, the"Minister of Rites Zhang Cang" on the sky curtain was so spineless that he chose to modify the words of Confucian classics in order to cater to the ideological and cultural unification proposed by Crown Prince Fusu.

This is another slap in the face of Confucianism!

After this news spread, how did other schools of thought view Confucianism? Did they say that Confucianism was a training base for talents of Legalism?

Or did they say that the disciples taught by Confucianism had no spine and integrity?

Xunzi, who taught such disciples who abandoned Confucianism and had no spine and integrity, was seen as a traitor by Confucian doctors such as Chunyu Yue. , naturally, he is also guilty of not knowing people well and teaching poorly.

If Xunzi had not recruited Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang as his disciples, would Confucianism still have the shameful behavior it has today?

Similarly, if Xunzi could teach Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang more about Confucian morality when teaching them, rather than the Legalist emphasis on profit over righteousness.

Then would Li Si and Han Fei abandon Confucianism and turn to Legalism?

Similarly, how could Zhang Cang, or the"Minister of Rites Zhang Cang" on the sky, be so spineless and make the act of tampering with the words of the classics of the sages?

In addition, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors are Qi Confucians, belonging to the Meng family of Confucianism among the eight major Confucian factions, and Confucius and Mencius are respected.

Although Xunzi is also a Confucian sage, but because Xunzi proposed"the combination of rites and laws", in the eyes of scholars from other Confucian factions, he is not really an orthodox Confucian sage.

So in a moment of anger, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors became more and more impolite to Xunzi in their words.

Zhang Cang, who was in the middle and lower levels of the civil and military officials, heard Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors' rebuke at the beginning, and his face was also angry, but then he quickly suppressed it.

He was different from Chunyu Yue and other Confucian scholars. Chunyu Yue and other Confucian scholars were doctors of Qin.

Although the doctor was also one of the officials of Qin, his duties were not within the orthodox three officials and nine ministers of Qin.

For example, the doctor was more like a guest consultant in the past. Although they had a certain right to advise the court on the construction of Qin's system, the formulation of national development, etc., their relationship with Qin could barely be regarded as a cooperative relationship.

If the doctors felt that Qin was not good, they could choose to leave directly.

In addition, from another perspective, they are also representatives of their respective schools of thought, representing the endless stream of talents behind their respective schools of thought.

If they are rashly convicted or directly executed, it may offend the students and talents of various schools behind them who may defect to Qin in the future.

Therefore, for the future talents of Qin, when Chunyu Yue and other Hundred Schools of Thought doctors did not touch a certain bottom line of the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

Most of the time, in order to show respect for talents, the First Emperor Ying Zheng would not directly convict or punish Chunyu Yue and other Hundred Schools of Thought doctors.

So relatively speaking, Chunyu Yue and other Hundred Schools of Thought doctors can be relatively unrestrained in the court of Qin, and do not have to abide by so many rules of respect and inferiority.

Zhang Cang is different. He is one of the civil and military officials in the orthodox system of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers of Qin, so he must abide by the rules of respect and inferiority in the court.

Especially when the First Emperor had just said that it would not happen again, if he directly opened his mouth to refute Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors at this time.

Then it would be equivalent to slapping the First Emperor in the face, and it might offend the First Emperor.

In this case, it is only natural for the First Emperor to directly convict and punish him.

So even if Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors pointed at his nose and scolded him, Zhang Cang's initial idea was to endure it and wait for a chance to retaliate one day.

But later, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors scolded him, and even scolded his master Xunzi! If he endured it, how would he have the face to be a disciple of his master Xunzi in the future? So Zhang Cang was also willing to endure it.

���Even if it might offend the First Emperor, or even be punished by the First Emperor, he still had to speak up to defend the face of his teacher Xunzi.

Just as Zhang Cang stepped forward and prepared to refute him, he saw that there was another person in front of him who was faster than him. He was one of the Nine Ministers standing at the front of the civil and military officials, Li Si, the Court Judge! As soon as

Li Si stepped out of the line, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors, who were originally scolding and scolding, fell into silence as if their throats were strangled.

No matter what, Li Si was also one of the Nine Ministers of Qin who held great power and could influence the people of the world with his words.

In terms of status, position, and majesty, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors were far inferior to him.

Just now, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors were quick-mouthed and scolded Li Si. If Li Si didn't care about them, then the matter would probably be over.

However, if Li Si was really angry about it.

Then, facing the anger that Li Si, the court judge, might burst out, even Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors can't help but feel a little uneasy.

And is Li Si angry?

Li Si is very angry now!

At the beginning, when Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors reprimanded and scolded Zhang Cang, Li Si couldn't help but feel angry, but happy.

Because he was originally thinking about how to further improve his relationship with Zhang Cang, his"dear junior brother", but now Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors have directly handed him the opportunity to get closer.

So Li Si is also ready to speak a few words for Zhang Cang and sell a favor to Zhang Cang.

Even so, even if Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors later scolded him a few times, Li Si decided not to care about the mistakes of the villains and not to care about Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors.

But later, after Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors scolded his predecessor Xunzi, Li Si couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Si had the same respect and gratitude for his teacher Xunzi as his father, who taught him all his knowledge and never rebuked him even after he abandoned Confucianism and joined the Legalists.

(To read the novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!

) To put it bluntly, even Li Si's real father may not have as high a status in Li Si's heart as Xunzi.

After all, from a certain point of view, if it weren't for Xunzi's careful teaching, then it is very likely that he would not have everything he has now.

So if he had no reaction when his teacher Xunzi was insulted by Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors, then as Zhang Cang thought, how could he face his teacher Xunzi in the future.

Li Si glanced coldly at Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors, and did not attack them at the first time, but bowed to the First Emperor Ying Zheng and said:

"Your Majesty, although the six kingdoms have been destroyed, the world is now unified!"[]

"But the hearts of the six countries���Before it was destroyed, the world's ideology and culture had not yet achieved great unification, so people's hearts were divided, and the remnants of the six kingdoms continued to cause trouble!"

"I, Your Majesty, request that you establish the core of the Qin State's great unification ideology and set up a great Qin academy to recruit scholars from all over the world."

"All the theories of the Hundred Schools of Thought that recognize the core idea of the great unification of the Qin State will become one of the official schools of thought of the Qin Academy, and will be studied by scholars all over the world in the future!"

"Any of the Hundred Schools of Thought that do not recognize the core idea of the Qin Dynasty's great unification is divisive in nature and has the potential to overthrow our great Qin country and its people. Please classify them as hidden schools of thought!"

"The school was forbidden to teach publicly and recruit disciples, and its scholars were prohibited from serving as officials in Qin!"

"At the same time, an announcement was issued throughout the country that anyone who discovered a hidden doctrine and publicly taught it and recruited disciples would be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"

"And the hidden scholars who violated the ban will be exiled to the barbarians in all directions, and they will be required to educate the barbarians for the rest of their lives, and they will never be allowed to return!" 0

Ask for flowers Don't Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors think that the ideas of Confucian sages cannot be modified? Yes!

It's better not to modify them!

He will now petition the First Emperor to establish the core of the Qin State's great unification thought and set up the Great Qin Academy, and see whether Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors can stick to the unchanged Confucian sages' ideas to the end.

If he can, he will immediately make the Confucian Mengshi Confucianism where Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors belong to a hidden school, cut off its chance of prosperity, let its talents wither, and slowly cut off its inheritance!

At the same time, send people to stare at Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors for twelve hours a day.

As long as they dare to publicly lecture and recruit disciples in public, he will immediately exile all Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors to the four barbarians to wait for death in the name of violating the ban!

If not, he will immediately kill Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors.

The news that scholars said one thing and did another, with no integrity and moral integrity, spread throughout the world, letting everyone in the world know what kind of villains Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors are!

In short, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors and Meng's Confucianism will either have their reputations ruined or their inheritance cut off!

Otherwise, people in the world will really think that Li Si is easy to bully and that his master Xunzi is easy to humiliate!

The Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian, the left prime minister Wei Zhuang, the right prime minister Wang Wan and other civil and military officials present could not help but sigh in their hearts when they saw this scene.

As expected, Li Si is worthy of his name.

If he did not make a move, it would be fine.

Once he made a move, he accurately, ruthlessly and steadily grasped the fatal point of Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors.

As long as the First Emperor agreed to Li Si's request, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors would have only two ways to go.

Either give up their reputation in exchange for the Confucianism of their school.

The inheritance of their school of Confucianism will not be cut off.

Or they can maintain their own reputation and cause the inheritance of their school of Confucianism to be cut off.

If they choose the former, although their reputation will be gone, at least the inheritance of their school of Confucianism will still be there.

In the future, their school and other Confucian scholars will not blame them too much.

But if they choose the latter, even if they can keep their reputation high for a while.

But in the future, they will become the sinners of other Confucian scholars who caused the inheritance of Confucianism to be cut off.

And for Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors who regard their own reputation as more important than their own lives, this move is more uncomfortable than killing them directly.

Although Li Si did not kill anyone this time, it was definitely heartbreaking!

Thinking of this, all the civil and military officials present turned their eyes again The focus was on Zhang Cang.

It should be said that Li Si and Zhang Cang came out one after another.

Among them, Li Si stood in front and Zhang Cang stood behind Li Si.

There was a feeling that Li Si protected Zhang Cang, his junior brother, behind him.

The civil and military officials were also wondering in their hearts, are Li Si and Zhang Cang's friendship so good? If so, why is the relationship between Li Si and Han Fei, who is also a disciple of Xunzi, so bad? It 's not even a question of whether the relationship is good or not, but Li Si personally sent Han Fei, his junior brother, on his last journey.

This question is also Zhang Cang's current doubts.

He became a disciple of Xunzi relatively late.

By the time he became a disciple of Xunzi, his senior brother Han Fei had already returned to Han State, wanting to assist the King of Han and show his ambitions.

And senior brother Li Si also went to Qin State not long after, ready to show his strength in Qin State.

So Zhang Cang didn't know much about the past between the two senior brothers Han Fei and Li Si.

And this little information was also heard from Xunzi in the past, or from other fellow disciples.

And in these few words, there was no mention of any unsolvable life and death hatred between Senior Brother Han Fei and Senior Brother Li Si.

It is only known that whenever Master Xunzi mentioned Han Fei and Li Si, he would always praise them first, saying that they could become a school of their own in the future!

And after the praise, Master Xunzi would fall into silence for a long time.

And when these disciples asked Master Xunzi why he was silent, Master Xunzi also shook his head and did not answer.

So Zhang Cang, who did not know why Senior Brother Li Si wanted to kill Senior Brother Han Fei in the past, could only attribute it to the possibility that there was some unsolvable life and death hatred between the two brothers.

But no matter what the grudges between Senior Brother Han Fei and Senior Brother Li Si were in the past, when he saw Senior Brother Li Si stand up, stand in front of him, and speak to protect him, Zhang Cang was deeply moved.

Senior Brother Li Si, you treat him so well!

If he achieves something in the future, he will repay Senior Brother Li Si with a spring of gratitude!.
