Chapter 196: Confucian Competition (Part )
"Let's end this today."
Three days later, the General's Mansion was ready to go. Fusu, Li Si, Naruto and Xinghun, who was also the national teacher, took a carriage and set off for Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Speaking of it, the national teachers of the Qin Dynasty were not worth much. Including Naruto, there were three of them in total, Yueshen, Xinghun and Naruto.
However, although all three of them are national masters, Naruto has the greatest power. He can control the Yin-Yang Family, which is why he dared to ask Yun Zhongjun for Yu Ziqi directly.
Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of Xiaoshengxianzhuang. At this time, the Confucians were already waiting for them here. In addition to the Confucians, there were other people waiting for them here, including Chu Nangong, Gongsun Linglong from the famous family, and Zhao Gao had also arrived.
"Lord Chu Nan." After getting off the car, Naruto's eyes immediately met with Lord Chu Nan. During the eye contact with Naruto, Lord Chu Nan was the first to shift his gaze, as if he couldn't stand Naruto's half-smile.
"Greetings, young master." After Fusu got off the car, the three heroes of Qi and Lu, led by Fu Nian, immediately stepped forward to pay their respects, and then began to play music and dance. Confucianism was the most particular about etiquette among all the schools of thought, so it was natural that they would not be impolite when meeting Young Master Fusu, and they used the Six-Legged Ceremony of the Eight-Legged Ceremony.
Only the emperor could perform the ritual of Eight Yi. As the eldest son of Ying Zheng, Fusu had the same status as the princes, so the ritual of Six Yi was just right for him.
In the ritual of Eight Yi, there are eight dancers for the emperor, six for princes, four for ministers and two for scholars. This is the orthodox etiquette and cannot be used incorrectly. Using it incorrectly is an act of usurpation. Confucius once said, "Eight Yi dancers dancing in the courtyard - this is intolerable, what is not?" This meant that a certain minister performed the ritual of Eight Yi in the courtyard of his own home, which was the beginning of the collapse of ritual and music.
However, the times are different now. It is no longer the era of the Zhou emperor. The Eight-Legged Rituals are not so strictly observed anymore. If we really want to investigate further, there are too many people who have overstepped their bounds. For example, the horse-drawn carriage also uses the Eight-Legged Rituals, which means that only the emperor can use eight horses, the princes use six horses, the ministers use four horses, and the scholars use two horses. This is why there is a charioteer in the Six Arts of a Gentleman.
But in reality, there were very few carriages pulled by eight horses, but there were many carriages pulled by six or four horses. Many merchants used this frame. Ying Zheng no longer enfeoffed princes, so he naturally would not be too serious about this. In fact, the eight-horse ceremony also applied to sedan chairs, but there were more people who violated the rules. Those who were a little richer would use a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Don't be fooled by the eight-man sedan chair shown on TV. In fact, this is a specification that only high-ranking officials are allowed to use. It would be an act of usurpation for ordinary people to use it. In fact, the Qin Dynasty was much more open. But this is normal. After all, the Confucianism of this era was normal Confucianism.
"Eight-Legged Sword Formation, it's true that times have changed, and the so-called etiquette is not pure etiquette."
Looking at the Six-Legged Dance over there, Naruto nodded thoughtfully. Confucianism had no female disciples in this era. The so-called Eight-Legged Dance was actually sword dancing, which was also a kind of sword formation in Confucianism and could be used to kill the enemy. The Confucians of this era were not the powerless people of later generations. The Confucians in the back mountain were completely castrated Confucians.
"Please." After Fusu finished watching the Liuyi Dance, Fu Nian raised his hand and invited Fusu to enter Xiaoshengxian Manor. This was also a kind of etiquette. After entering Xiaoshengxian Manor, Fusu directly stated his destination, which was the Confucian library.
"Fu Nian, I believe you all know the purpose of my coming this time. This is not only the order of my father, but also for the people of Daqin."
In the library, Fusu randomly selected a few scrolls and read some of them, then directly stated his purpose. Before he came, Ying Zheng had talked to him and told him that he could have good intentions towards Confucianism, but Ying Zheng's orders had to be completed.
"The Confucians will do as ordered." Fu Nian nodded immediately. Facing the current Qin Dynasty, the Confucians did not have the energy to resist at all. Moreover, it was just printing some Confucian books. If the Confucians did not agree, then their intention to rebel would be obvious. Even Zhang Liang would not be able to find a reason to refuse this matter.
"Okay." Fusu then changed the subject. He didn't need to deal with the subsequent matters personally. There would be people below him to do it. Besides, the one who was supervising this matter was Li Si, and he would definitely complete it beautifully.
Afterwards, Fusu followed Funian and others to visit Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Xiaoshengxianzhuang was very large. After all, it was a place for Confucian teaching. There was not only a place for reading, but also places for archery, horse riding, and martial arts. If the place was small, it would not be possible.
"I still underestimated Youjian Inn. There are hundreds of disciples in the Confucian School. It's not easy to prepare meals for so many people at Youjian Inn."
Naruto didn't say anything along the way, but after the visit, he found that he had underestimated an inn. The Little Sage Manor here is different from the disciples in the animation. There are hundreds of disciples in the Little Sage Manor. With so many disciples studying, there are also many servants. After all, Confucian disciples would not do things that only lower people would do, such as raising horses. Since Confucian disciples are learning to ride horses, they naturally need horses, and there are quite a few of them. Naturally, these horses need someone to take care of them.
To give an example, horses in ancient times were equivalent to today's cars, and good horses were equivalent to luxury cars. The horses of Confucianism were not low-grade, so there would naturally be no shortage of servants to take care of the horses. Just like Ying Zheng's beloved horse, there were at least ten people taking care of one horse. After all, if there was any problem with his horse, it would be a big deal.
"Master Fu Nian, Third Master, I have a question." After visiting Xiao Shengxian Manor, the group came to the hall. As soon as they sat down, Gongsun Linglong stood up and brought out the famous theory of a famous master, that a white horse is not a horse, and then the debate began.
Many Confucian disciples were defeated, which made Fu Nian and Yan Lu look a little ugly. For Fu Nian, Yan Lu, and even Zhang Liang, it was not impossible to refute that a white horse was not a horse, but the problem was that they could not end up so easily. If they ended up like this, even if they won, Confucianism would lose face.
"Auntie." Seeing that Gongsun Linglong was about to win, Zhang Liang finally let his trump card Tianming appear. Tianming directly led a group of very skinny horses to compete with the famous horse Taxue. In the end, Tianming naturally won. He was smart, and with Zhang Liang's teaching, Gongsun Linglong was really no match for him.
But even though she lost, Gongsun Linglong's expression was not too ugly. Instead, she looked at Zhang Liang with a smile on her face, which made Zhang Liang sweat. There was no way. According to Fu Nian, Gongsun Linglong's appearance was extraordinary. Zhang Liang really couldn't handle such a person.
"Should we pair Gongsun Linglong with Zhang Liang? Forget it. Let's not make things difficult for him. It's a pity that he is destined not to assist the Qin Dynasty. It all depends on where he wants to go next."
Seeing Zhang Liang's embarrassed expression due to Gongsun Linglong's gaze, Naruto thought about how to deal with him in the future. Unlike the Mohist and Xiang clans, he did not necessarily want to exile Zhang Liang outside the Qin Dynasty. After all, without those anti-Qin forces, he would be powerless.
