Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

"When Confucius asked for meat, he didn't ask for much. If his family was truly wealthy and had a surplus, he could naturally afford it!"

"Secondly, even if you can't afford it, you have a good reputation among your neighbors, and people are willing to lend you meat if they trust you."

"Then as long as you hand it over to Confucius, it also represents your firm determination to learn!"

"Gentlemen! Confucius's purpose was twofold: first, to select those from well-off families to prevent them from being too poor; and second, to ensure that their studies did not lead to any misfortune for their parents and families!"

"Secondly, it's to screen people who have a good reputation in the surrounding area. Even if such a person is not at home, others will help take care of his parents, which can also prevent people with bad intentions from entering his circle!"

"The old master's tuition fee, while a limiting factor, is more about selection. And what about you?"

"Ask yourselves honestly, is the purpose of collecting tuition fees simply to collect tuition fees, or is it also a screening process based on the family background and character of your students?"

"This...you've never even met Confucius. How could you possibly know?"

Chunyu Yue was completely bewildered by Tang Yu's arguments.

He realized that if Tang Yu continued with his logic, they would indeed be reduced to nothing, which was unacceptable to him.

"is it?"

Seeing that many Confucian scholars on the field looked unconvinced, Tang Yu uttered a single sentence that effectively ended the match.

"So you mean that Confucius asked each of his disciples for tuition fees so that he could line his own pocket?"

"Is it to satisfy one's own selfish desires and to make oneself enjoy life better?"

"I...I didn't mean that!"

"Then what do you mean?"

After a stern rebuke, Chunyu Yue stood there dumbfounded, staring at Tang Yu in silence.

Witnessing this scene, Tang Yu sighed and looked at the others in the court.

"Gentlemen, I know there are other Confucian scholars in the court. I would like to ask you some questions."

"Is the Confucianism you practice the same Confucianism that you believe in, the Confucianism that governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, or is it the fake Confucianism that uses the name of Confucianism to deceive the world and steal fame?"

His three questions and answers with Chunyu Yue just now silenced the other Confucian officials in the court who were not involved in the matter.

They originally wanted to step forward and argue for Chunyu Yue, but after Tang Yu asked the question, they realized that Tang Yu was indeed right.

"The Grand Preceptor is absolutely right!"

"What we yearn for is the Confucianism advocated by Confucius, the Confucianism that is full of the ideal of universal harmony!"

"So good."

Meeting their gazes, Tang Yu nodded and turned his attention to the other people in the court.

"I don't know which school you come from, but I hope you don't turn the knowledge you've learned and the schools of thought you identify with into tools to satisfy your own desires."

"Don't kill that passionate, youthful self you once were!"

The once bustling area in front of Xianyang Palace was now silent for a long time.

All the officials looked bewildered and somewhat at a loss.

Many of them came from various schools of thought, such as Legalism, Military Science, and even a very small number of strategists.

They had all reached a high position of power and influence, and could be considered top-tier figures in the Qin state.

When they were diligently studying and studying under various masters, was that really what they were seeking now?

"Yes, I became a member of the military strategist class because I wanted to fight a battle that would be remembered for the world, like Lord Wu'an. Now it seems that all I care about is official rank!"

The other members of the Hundred Schools of Thought all shared the same idea.

At this point, Tang Yu felt that he had almost achieved his goal.

The Confucian scholars were speechless in the face of this situation, and it was the perfect opportunity to take action and eliminate them.

Similarly, this is the best time to thoroughly implement the new Qin laws, as there will be the least resistance at this time!

"The trial of these fake Confucian scholars will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the new Qin law."

"Next, our Imperial Tutor will read out the new Qin laws, which were jointly written by His Majesty, the Left Chancellor Li Si, and our Imperial Tutor."

There's no time to pay attention to these Confucian scholars now, because the new Qin laws are about to be introduced!

All attention was drawn to the new Qin law.

"Somebody come!"

Tang Yu raised his hand, and immediately dozens of imperial guards appeared, each holding a stack of white paper.

The paper contained a relatively concise summary of the new Qin laws.

They were distributing the new Qin laws to the crowd.

Not only the officials in the imperial court, but even the ordinary people who were watching the spectacle received a copy!

The content on the white paper was very simple, but many people's expressions changed after seeing it.

"My lords and the people of Qin!"

"My Qin state will unify the world through the old Qin laws, and make my Qin state an empire that will last for ten thousand generations!"

"This is the achievement of Shang Yang, the achievement of the old Qin laws, and the achievement of every citizen and soldier of our Qin state!"

"The promulgation of the new Qin law does not mean that the old Qin law was incorrect. On the contrary, the old Qin law was a law that made great contributions to the Qin state!"

"Our national teacher has carefully placed the first set of Qin laws in the Xianyang Palace, leaving an indelible mark on future generations of our Qin state!"

Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, many members of the Legalist school showed expressions of joy.

Originally, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Yu's reforms, after all, it was the masterpiece of Shang Yang, the great synthesizer of Legalism.

But now, after hearing Tang Yu's words, their dissatisfaction with him lessened considerably, and some even felt that what Tang Yu said made perfect sense.

"Weren't we a little unfriendly about the Grand Preceptor's attitude before? After all, his views on Qin law are the same as ours."

"I think so too, and it's normal to use different methods at different times. Let's see what the Grand Preceptor has to say!"

The discontent of the Legalists was originally suppressed by Li Si.

Now, thanks to Tang Yu's actions, the Legalists suddenly felt a sense of finding a kindred spirit.

Many of the officials looked at Tang Yu with apprehension, as they had assumed that this Grand Preceptor was even more intelligent than they had imagined.

He's very adept at using this combination of soft and hard tactics to win people over!

They looked down at the paper in their hands, and many of them showed expressions of amazement.

This new Qin law is simply the work of a celestial being!

This is truly a blessing for the Qin state!
