he can't accept...
"Before the general trend, it is beyond our power to stop it. Whether you accept it or not, it is best to follow the trend. Don't be that praying mantis, or you will be directly crushed by the wheel of history."
Xunzi still has great wisdom.
He was able to fight the war of words with the Great Qin Empire before, so he would naturally fight it happily.
But now the Daqin Crown Prince is tyrannical and unparalleled. If he fights with this kind of person, he may lose his life...
Xunzi was not that stubborn, since it is no longer suitable for a war of words, it is better to reason with Prince Daqin.He believed that Ying Ziye would not kill Confucianism completely.As long as there is room for maneuver between the two parties, a preliminary cooperation can be reached.
In his eyes, there is no traditional concept of Jianghu sects, and Confucianism is more like a school.As long as one can carry forward one's own knowledge, why should the boundary between court and rivers and lakes be so clear?
"Master, even if we take the initiative to approach the Great Qin Empire now, will they adopt our Confucian scholars in large numbers?"
Yan Lu expressed the question in his heart, he is the second master of Confucianism.
"meeting!"
Xunzi replied decisively.
"Now the Great Qin Empire is conquering the south and the north, and has taken a large piece of rich land in the east. Although the land has been obtained, whether the people on the land have become Qin people is the most important question. When it comes to educating the people, our Confucianism Be the leader. Prince Daqin will definitely think of the relationship, and he may visit soon."
Although Xunzi was in the little sage village, he could clearly see the pattern of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The way to continue Confucianism is very simple, four words, follow the trend.
Even Mencius, the great sage, once said that those who have gained the Tao will be helped more than those who have lost the Way.
Now that Prince Daqin is the Taoist, if Confucianism dares to brazenly risk the torrent of history to confront the other party, it will definitely seek its own death.
"Junior Brother died at the hands of the tyrant's son, and now our Confucianism is going to be used by the tyrant. In the past, we have been scolding the Great Qin Eagle and Dog for being cruel, but now we are going to become the lackeys of the Great Qin Empire, haha..."
Fu Nian is a bit enlightened, he already admired kingly rule of the country.
But this kingly way is to let the contemporary king obey his Confucian way, instead of Confucianism to actively conform to the Great Qin Empire.
In his mind, Confucianism is sacred and inviolable, and it is not afraid of power.Even if Zulong burns books and confuses Confucianism, it can't obliterate the justice in their hearts.But now Master's words have brought a huge impact to Fu Nian.
Hearing the sarcasm from his eldest disciple, Xunzi was not angry, but felt a little more self-blame.
Fu Nian was raised by him alone. The other party upholds the Confucian concept of a gentleman and is determined to carry forward the Confucian culture.Xunzi appreciates the fearlessness of power in his bones, but under the current situation, fearlessness of power will harm the entire Confucianism.
What Xunzi wants to do is to let more people be influenced by Confucian culture. As for the way to achieve it, is it really that important?
Moreover, they no longer have the qualifications to negotiate fairly with the Great Qin Empire... If they don't bow their heads and compromise now, the Confucianism is likely to be wiped out!
"Zhang Liang has gone astray. As a teacher, I don't want the two of you to be like him. We are the promoters of Confucian culture, and you and I cannot bury Confucianism. The ideals in our hearts must not override the fate of Confucianism. Fu Nian, take care Calm down."
After Xunzi finished speaking with a sigh, he walked out of the study.
He is now going to meet the head of the farmhouse, and the two parties cannot reach a cooperation.
At this time, a Confucian student rushed into the study and almost bumped into Xunzi who was about to go out.
Seeing this scene, Yan Lu immediately became angry.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You almost ran into Master! A gentleman pays attention to taking his time, where is your gentlemanly demeanor?"
When Xunzi saw the second disciple was angry, he just waved his hand casually to calm him down.
Yan Lu was enraged instantly, where did his gentlemanly demeanor go?
Everyone is a mirror.
When you want to blame the other person, your own behavior will also illuminate yourself.
Yan Lu immediately understood that he had lost his composure, and he lowered his head in shame, but heard Master's question.
"Come here in a hurry... why?"
"Master! No...something is not good! Prince Ying Ziye of the Great Qin came here with the Iron Cavalry of the Great Qin, and now the army is already outside the Xiaoshengxian Village. The disciples are guarding the gate strictly. Ying Ziye and the eldest son Fusu took the initiative to visit and return Master please decide."
When Xunzi heard these words, there was no wave on the surface of the ancient well, but his heart was churning.
What should come will come...
Moreover, Prince Daqin brought his eldest son Fusu with him. Xunzi believed that Fusu would say something nice for Confucianism.The fact that the other party didn't let Daqin Iron Cavalry step through Xiaoshengxianzhuang directly proved that there is still room for discussion on this matter.
Then let him handle it!
"Hurry up and invite the two princes in."
Xunzi said decisively.
"what?"
The Confucian disciple was stunned for a moment, he thought that his master would make all Confucian scholars desperately resist.Now take the initiative to introduce the other party, what exactly does this mean?
"go Go."
Xunzi patted the disciple on the shoulder with kind eyes.
……
"Ninth brother, is it really good for us to surround Xiaoshengxianzhuang with so many people?"
The eldest son Fusu suddenly felt a little hot in the face, he has always regarded the Little Shengxian Village as a holy place for reading.Now that I have come to this palace of knowledge, I have an army of one hundred thousand behind me.
It is really against the character of Confucian scholars!
"Haha, big brother, aren't you shy?"
Ying Ziye was amused by his elder brother, what does it matter if he brought Daqin Tieqi here?He didn't directly let people break through Xiaoshengxianzhuang. The brothers just think that the scenery outside Xiaoshengxianzhuang is particularly good. Isn't it good for 10 people to set up camp here to enjoy the scenery?
This is the land of the Great Qin Empire!
He is also the Prince of Great Qin!
Ying Ziye personally led the troops out, is there any place in Daqin that he can't go to?
Why feel embarrassed...
"No, Ninth Brother, you read it wrong."
Fusu's face turned red with embarrassment after being punctured by his Xiaojiu, which made Ying Ziye very happy.
He used to think that elder brother was too pedantic in doing things, but during this period of time he found that it is quite interesting to tease elder brother occasionally.
Of course, he also respected the eldest son of Great Qin from the bottom of his heart.
No one is perfect, but Fusu will never disobey his father's orders.If he can do that, he's pretty good.
While the two were chatting, the door of Little Sage's Manor opened wide.
The Confucian disciple who just went to spread the message walked cautiously in front of the two young masters, and made a gesture of welcome.
"Second sons, Master Xunzi is here to invite you."
Ying Ziye winked at his elder brother, then walked towards Little Sage's Manor swaggeringly.
Chapter 144
Inside the study.
"Fu Nian, at this moment, we must put the overall situation first. As a teacher, I don't care what you say in private. Don't go against Prince Daqin."
Fu Nian turned a deaf ear to Master's words, and now he just feels empty in his heart.
If Confucianism bows to power at will, is Confucianism still the Confucianism in his mind?
He remembered the teachings his master gave him when he was young, that he could bow down to the weak, but he could not kneel down to the strong.
But now...
Why is this happening?
While Xunzi was still explaining things, the two Great Qin princes had already walked into the study.
"Confucian Xunzi, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Fu Su Gongzi."
Xunzi was very polite.
"Confucian Yan Lu, please refer to His Royal Highness, Mr. Fusu."
The second master of Confucianism also saluted immediately.
Seeing the two men in black in front of him, Fu Nian just continued to sit in front of the chessboard, his expression unchanged.There was a fire in his heart, but he couldn't let it out.
Xunzi winked at his eldest disciple, but the other was immersed in his own small world, and did not see the change in Master's expression at all.
"Forgive me, my lords. My senior brother has been ill recently, so it's inconvenient to salute to you two lords."
Yan Lu's personality is relatively easy-going, and now he stood up and had a haha, Ying Ziye and Ying Ziye were naturally not easy to get angry.
"I don't know why the two young masters came to Xiaoshengxian Village?"
Although Xunzi has abdicated, as long as he speaks, he can control all things in Confucianism.
"Mr. Xunzi, the prince came to Xiaoshengxianzhuang this time to see it. My elder brother said that Xiaoshengxianzhuang is a sacred place in the hearts of scholars in Daqin. Looking at it now, it is really extraordinary."
Ying Ziye also had to say something for the occasion.
He still doesn't know what the attitude of Confucianism is, but based on what Xunzi said so far, the two sides should be able to resolve it peacefully.
However, at this moment, Fu Nian, who had always been taciturn, finally spoke.
"Since His Royal Highness knows that Xiaoshengxian Village is a sacred place for studying in Daqin, why did he come in with a sword? Scholars have their own rules, maybe His Royal Highness is not clear."
As soon as these words came out, Xunzi's expression changed immediately.
His eldest disciple is really courageous!How dare he mock Prince Daqin's lack of reading to his face!
Ying Ziye didn't get angry after being ridiculed by the other party, although he didn't read many Confucian classics.However, the future generations thinking in his mind is relatively flexible. If he were to have a debate with Fu Nian, Ying Ziye didn't think he would be at a disadvantage.
"The size of the world is unimaginable, and all living beings are just a grain of sand. The Confucian master must have read a lot of books if he dared to say such a thing?"
Ying Ziye started to play tricks.
"Fu Nian dare not say how many books he has read, but at least he understands the basic rules."
He was still grasping at the incident just now and continued to mock.
"Since the Confucian master is very knowledgeable, he must be proficient in the six arts of a gentleman. Numbering is one of the six arts of a gentleman. The prince has a question and wants to ask the master. I wonder if the master can answer it?"
Fu Nian was even more disdainful when he heard the words of Prince Daqin.
Numbers are naturally mathematics.
He dare not say how good his mathematics is, but there are not many people with a good foundation in mathematics in mainland Kyushu.He has also studied this aspect, at least he is not comparable to a small prince of Qin.
"His Royal Highness, tell me."
Fu Nian's arrogance came up.
Seeing this scene, Xunzi shook his head helplessly.
Both of his disciples have extreme personalities...
Although the eldest disciple Fu Nian has a generous personality, sometimes he is too domineering, otherwise he would not think of turning Confucianism into a kingly way.
The second disciple Yan Lu is too easy-going, he should go to Taoism to practice, the thoughts of Xianyun Yehe are what he is most passionate about.
Seeing the other party's full of arrogance, Ying Ziye was overjoyed.At any rate, he is also an excellent successor after nine years of compulsory education, and he also went to college.No need for advanced mathematics, he only needs to be a little clever, and he can play the opponent around.
The eldest son Fusu looked at his ninth younger brother, he didn't know that the other party had attainments in one of the few ways.Since the ninth brother dared to take the initiative to ask questions, he must be very confident.
Under the watchful eyes of the scholars, Ying Ziye said slowly.
"one two three four five six seven eight nine ten……"
Hearing the other party's continuous counting, Fu Nian couldn't help laughing.This Prince Qin is not showing off his mathematical knowledge, is he?
The key is to report the number, as long as a normal person can report it, what is the other party doing?
The eldest son, Fusu, felt a little embarrassed. The question that his ninth younger brother couldn't understand could be just counting...
That would really embarrass the Great Qin royal family.
"From one to one hundred, what is the sum of these numbers?"
Suddenly, Ying Ziye asked his own question.
Fu Nian's expression changed slightly after hearing Prince Daqin's words, then he took a deep breath and said.
"This is not a difficult problem. As long as you have an abacus, you can figure it out with a little time at most."
