King Qin Xiaowen looked at the old man in front of him, dressed in white, and he first saluted when he saw King Qin Xiaowen.
"I have seen the king, and the king has a long life."
King Qin Xiaowen looked at the old man in front of him and saluted, and looked at the latest Confucian leader who followed Confucius 72 sages and Mencius.
"You're being polite, sir. I don't know what's your opinion when you come to this barbaric place like me?" King Qin Xiaowen stretched out his hand and pushed the tea in front of him, and it stopped just opposite to the table, "Please sit down, sir. I despise this wild tea."
Xunzi sat upright very politely, and his aura had overwhelmed the two Shangqings from the very beginning, to be precise, overwhelmed everyone present, including King Qin Xiaowen.
Xunzi nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is joking. I have nothing to do with this old man, but I just want to come to Xianyang to pay homage to Emperor Yu's Nine Cauldrons, and the others have no insight."
"Since Mr. is here, wouldn't it be a pity to leave after seeing Jiuding?" Meng Ao received it loudly, "You must know that Mr. is the only Confucian scholar who has stepped into Xianyang!"
Xunzi glanced at Meng Ao, ignored him, and asked King Xiaowen of Qin with a smile, "Could it be that the king is ill? If it were not for illness, how could there be a scene where the king is on the throne and Shangqing is actually passing the message on behalf of the king?"
King Qin Xiaowen naturally knew that Meng Ao didn't mean it, he was probably overwhelmed from the beginning, and seeing that Xunzi didn't have much respect for him, he answered the question loudly.
"It doesn't take a day for a lonely person to be sick. Most of the foreign affairs are handled by the crown prince, so the Shangqing must speak for him." King Qin Xiaowen looked at Xunzi calmly. It's heartbreaking to say the least.
"Your Majesty's mind is rarely heard of in the Seven Kingdoms." Xunzi saluted as he spoke, "I came to Qin for the first purpose of visiting the Nine Tripods, and the second is to visit the Majesty, and want to have a discussion with the Majesty."
"I'm a loner with little knowledge, and I'm afraid I won't be able to understand what my husband said." Although King Qin Xiaowen had heard of Xunzi's name, he also knew that he had a great talent.However, Confucianism did not welcome Qin from the beginning, and it was impossible for Qin to welcome Confucianism. After all, those things seemed to him nothing more than fantasy.
Xunzi bowed again: "As a king, virtue is the most important thing. Only the king's mind is enough for old people to ask for advice."
(To be continued)
PS
This chapter is a bit long, so I will write it as two chapters, and the second half will be posted tomorrow, but today I really can’t move.
Xunzi, that is, Xunqing, Sun Qing, and Ziqing, is a representative figure of Confucianism in the late Warring States period. His theory of "human nature is inherently evil" is often compared with Mencius.
Xunzi entered the Qin Dynasty in history, so this is not a fabrication, but there is no general record of the time when Xunzi entered the Qin Dynasty, so I can only deduce and fabricate it by myself.
When Xunzi met the King of Qin, he affirmed the politics of the Qin State, saying that "Qin four generations have victories, and it is not lucky to count them." Because of this sentence, I think Xunzi probably entered Qin when King Qin Xiaowen was in power. .
Because in the later period, it was generally believed that Qin Shihuang's unification of the country was the survivor of Fen VI, and this VI counted King Qin Xiaowen (those who ascended the throne for three days were counted, outrageous, hhh)
According to this passage, it can be considered that there were already four kings of Qin who worked diligently and strengthened the country at that time, and it is generally believed that the sixth generation refers to Duke Xiao of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin and King Zhuangxiang of Qin, so I think Xunzi is King Qin Xiaowen entered Qin Dynasty.
So this plot is not very poisonous, and I don’t study history specifically, so there will be mistakes, and many times I use subjective consciousness for things that can’t be found, so don’t blame it.
Because I have classes during the day, I only have a little time to write.I'm still not familiar with the history of the pre-Qin period, so I have to look up a lot of information, so I'm really sorry.This chapter was originally intended to be a large chapter (4000+), but I really didn’t have time, so I had to divide it into two to write.Although there is no guarantee to sign a contract, at least it will allow the big investors to get some coins. (????)????
Chapter 15 Xunzi Enters Qin Dynasty
King Qin Xiaowen looked at Xunzi who bowed his head in salute, and suddenly became interested.Although he doesn't like to see Confucianism, and thinks that Confucianism is full of utopians, he never underestimates the teachings of Confucianism, let alone this Confucian leader in front of him.
"Sir, do you want to discuss the way of being a king?" King Qin Xiaowen smiled and added another cup of tea to Xunzi, "Mr., don't you think you have the appearance of a wise king in ancient times?"
"What I want to discuss is not Wang Shu..." Xunzi picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and then continued, "It's Emperor Shu."
"Gu has heard of it." King Zhaoxiang of Qin glanced at Cai Zemeng and Ao with a smile, and waved his hand to signal them to retreat, "However, Gu doesn't know the difference between the two."
"To be a king, you should be virtuous on the outside and apply virtue on the inside." Xunzi sat upright, his cloudy eyes filled with light. "For an emperor, you should be virtuous on the inside and exert power on the outside."
"What's inside, what's outside?" King Qin Xiaowen felt that the old man in front of him seemed to be a different person, and the aura on his body actually held him down firmly.
Chen Xuan, who was in the distance, watched the black unicorn getting bigger and bigger, and felt an unknown fire in his heart. He looked back at Ying Zheng who was still playing, and then flew to the place where King Qin Xiaowen was.
"The inside is the land under the rule, and the outside is the land of other countries." Xunzi and King Qin Xiaowen seem to have come to the top of a mountain, and the two are asking and answering.
"Sir, what do you mean, the king is virtuous and the emperor is domineering?"
"I don't dare to think so. The idea here is nothing but the king's own perception."
"Don't you dare to admit it, sir?"
"It's not because I dare not, but because I don't agree with the morality in the old man's heart, so I don't admit it."
"What do you think, sir?"
"The king has virtue outside, so it will not last long; the emperor has power outside, and other countries dare not offend lightly, so it can last forever. Kings and emperors have virtue inside, so the country can be stable, and the people can live in peace..."
"Sir, do you think emperors are better than kings?"
"No. In a prosperous age, the emperor lives under the king. In a prosperous age, there is no war. The country is safe and needs virtue, not prestige. But the emperor has no king in troubled times. In troubled times, countries are rude, so prestige is needed. It's not morality."
"Sir and Gu talk so much, don't you want to learn the way of the emperor alone?"
"No. Although Qin has a powerful army, the country is safe and the people are prosperous, but the six foreign countries will be independent if they are not united. Qin's prestige is already sufficient, and no matter how much it fears that the Western Emperor will laugh."
"Sir, do you know what else to say?!" King Qin Xiaowen slapped his hands on the table, the dragon on his head seemed to jump out of the dragon gate, and suddenly rose to a height as high as that of the ink unicorn, "Could it be that Mr. Qin came here to mock me for being overwhelmed by Qin? ?!"
Although King Qin Xiaowen didn't have much affection for his father, King Qin Zhaoxiang, it didn't mean that an outsider could come and criticize his father.The title of Emperor Xi is not only a disgrace to his father, King Qin Zhaoxiang, but also a disgrace to the Qin State, the greatest shame since the rise of the Qin State.
Xunzi remained silent, bowed his head and took a sip of the tea. The black unicorn on his head did not compete with the dragon, but retreated a few steps, pretending to be subdued.
Chen Xuan happened to fly over and saw that King Qin Xiaowen was confronting an old man, and also saw that dragon in its most glorious period.
If I don't come, is this one going to be the luck of the country?Or is there a chance to become the national fortune?
Chen Xuan didn't know, and didn't think about it anymore.He didn't know the antecedents, nor the consequences, he only saw that the old man was disrespectful to the king of Daqin, and that was enough.
"Roar--!"
Chen Xuan felt that the Dragon's Fury seemed different this time, he seemed to be mixed with King Qin Zhaoxiang's Fate Dragon, and he seemed to be that Flood Dragon.No, it should be said that Jiaolong became him.
Mo Qilin on the opposite side stepped back a few steps as if seeing a natural enemy.Xunzi seemed to have sensed something, and looked up at the three-inch space above King Qin Xiaowen's head, and he seemed to see a fierce beast showing power at him.
"I don't dare to disrespect the King and King Zhao, I just use an example to warn the King." Xunzi came back to his senses, and looked at the vigorous King Qin Xiaowen in front of him. He was still sick just now, but now he is like the Son of Heaven, with incomparable majesty.
"Guzi understands Mr. Gu's words, but Mr. Gu can't accept his examples." King Qin Xiaowen felt that he hadn't felt so comfortable physically and mentally for a long time, but his heart was still burning with anger, "Gu remember, Confucianism is the most emphasis on filial piety. I am here to ask you, what should you do if someone humiliates their parents face to face?"
"When you get angry, draw your sword and let its blood splatter three feet." Xunzi didn't seem to hear the anger in King Qin Xiaowen's words, and he was still normal.
Although Chen Xuan didn't know where this guy was from, but pretending to be 13 so calmly, didn't he take him seriously?
"Roar--!"
Dragon Fury seemed to be ineffective, and any effects described on the beast armor seemed to be ineffective in front of this old man. If he hadn't seen Mo Qilin screaming in horror, Chen Xuan would have thought that he would lose everything after leaving Yingzheng .
"How dare you do this in front of Gu? Do you think Gu dare not kill Mr.?" King Qin Xiaowen looked at Xunzi, "Although Confucianism is powerful, but if Gu kills Mr., Confucianism will not cause any trouble."
Xunzi bowed again, and said: "Originally, the old man saw that Qin's power was sufficient. He wanted to use Qin's pain to persuade the king, but he accidentally broke a taboo."
"Sir, if you have anything else to say, please say it. After you say it, you will leave the state of Qin, and you will not be allowed to enter again." King Qin Xiaowen weighed the pros and cons of killing the old man, "The same is true for Confucianism, at least those who are in power alone At that time, Confucianism and masters were not allowed to enter the Qin Dynasty again."
