In the Hall of Books, the candlelight flickered, and Ying Zheng was handling unfinished government affairs, quietly waiting for the start of the construction of the third ruins.
In the huge Xianyang City, the lights are also brightly lit.
Countless people were walking on the streets, and cheering crowds could be seen everywhere.
Wearing their most gorgeous clothes, they celebrated the new king's accession to the throne, and the entire Xianyang city was filled with joy and laughter.
But these festive and lively atmosphere have nothing to do with the people of Da Qin Legalism.
The lights are bright.
There is a luxurious building complex south of the imperial city.
This building covers an area of approximately dozens of acres, with attic manor and carved railings.
Every inch is gorgeously and beautifully decorated, and the layout is exquisite. Even between the buildings, there are creeks and lakes flowing quietly, and plump fish bubble leisurely in the lotus pond.
This is the place where hundreds of schools of thought, including the Legalists, stayed in Da Qin.
And being able to own such a large manor in the imperial city of Xianyang, where every inch of land is precious, is enough to prove the noble status of Legalism in the Qin State.
This place is less than a hundred meters away from the busiest street in Xianyang. In the past, no matter what events were worth celebrating, this place was always the most lively and lively.
There are even occasional acrobatic performances here.
When King Qin Zhuangxiang came to the throne, a grand banquet was held here, hundreds of people from hundreds of families were entertained, and a grand party was held for three days and three nights!
But today, in the courtyard where people would have been drinking wine and drinking wine, drinking wine and drinking wine, it was uncharacteristically quiet and silent.
Even the old man guarding the door seemed a little listless.
'Crackling'
'Crackling'
In the quiet courtyard, there was the sound of a bonfire burning.
Following the sound, I saw that it was a large room. In the clean and tidy room, a bonfire was burning, lighting up the whole room.
In this room, there are more than a dozen old men with white hair and beards sitting here.
They sat cross-legged in front of a huge desk, with sad faces, grabbing pens and worrying about the blank bamboo slips in front of them.
Among this group of old men, the leader is a man with white beard and hair.
He was wearing a black robe and looked to be about seventy years old. He wore a white jade crown and had a tall figure.
Although he is old, he does not look too old from the outside. His cheeks are full of grooves, and he has the demeanor of an old man who has read poetry and books. He has the temperament of a scholar in his every move and gesture. His robe and white jade crown became even more elegant.
But at this time, the old man had a sad face, holding a pen and staring at the blank bamboo slips, unable to write a word no matter what.
He had a frown on his face and his brows were knitted together, as if even the folds on his face were tightly squeezed together.
He lifted the pen several times, then dropped it, then lifted it again, and dropped it again
This process was repeated dozens of times, but in the end not even a word was written.
In the end, he could only put down the pen in his hand, sighed helplessly, and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
"Can this Human Emperor's Sutra really be written?"
"I wonder how your writing went?"
"Have you written any records about the cultivation methods of the Human Emperor Sutra?"
The campfire flickered.
It reflected the sad faces of many old people.
Naturally, none of the old people who can have a place in the Qin Kingdom is simple. Each of them is a master of Legalism, well-read poetry and books, and has outstanding literary talent.
There are even a few who have entered the foundation building realm and are genuine Legalist Qi practitioners.
Many of them are descendants of important Legalists, and have disciples all over the world. Unknown how many books and directories have been published, and are regarded as treasures by countless Legalists in the world.
but now.
These old people, without exception, all had sad faces, staring at the blank bamboo slips in front of them, wanting to cry without tears!
How is the writing going?
what happened
This is simply impossible to write down, okay?
Do you know how precious the cultivation method is in this world?
There are only a few books in the entire Legalist school, and most of them are just ordinary martial arts cultivation methods. Even if there are a few cultivation methods, they haven't practiced them well yet, so how can they write them down?
Especially this order from Qin Wangzheng is actually a cultivation method that belongs exclusively to the Human Emperor.
Is there such a cultivation method in this world?
Why haven't they heard of it?
And even if there is, it is definitely not something that can be written at their level!
Staring at the blank space in front of him with a sad face, the old man finally couldn't bear it any longer and put the pen down in front of him, rubbing his brows and speaking helplessly.
"The Human Emperor Sutra is too difficult. It cannot be compiled by humans at all. I have carefully studied it dozens of times based on our Legalist cultivation method, but I have no clue at all."
Hearing this, many Legalist elders around him also let out a long sigh!
Who says it’s not!
As one of the well-known masters among various schools of thought, Legalists naturally have their own cultivation methods.
The original idea of many elderly people was to write a cultivation method based on the Legalist cultivation method.
But to their dismay, it was completely useless!
Ever since His Highness King Qin issued the order, they have been sitting here with pens in hand, thinking hard!
As a result, a full seven or eight hours passed without even a single clue!
Compile the Human Emperor Sutra.
This is simply not something humans can do!
If you think about it carefully, they have never offended Gongzi Zheng in the past, right?
Even when Gong Zizheng just came back from Zhao State, they even paid a special visit and expressed their full goodwill!
but now!
Why are they suddenly asked to write the Human Emperor Sutra? !
This is simply not something a human being can write! !
Can this kind of thing really be written by a human being?
We also want all the Legalist disciples in the Qin State to go to the Qilian Mountains
Is this useful?
None of them can write it, let alone other Legalist disciples. Many of them even don’t know what the cultivation method is!
Holding the pens in their hands, many old Legalists had so many thoughts in their minds that they were almost driven crazy by this order!
Writing has never been so painful in my life!
If there was no evidence, they would even begin to suspect that a certain family of various schools of thought was secretly trying to overthrow the Legalists and come to power themselves!
"Can you go and beg for mercy? I really can't write this Human Emperor Sutra. Even if I refer to our Legalist cultivation methods, it's useless. There is nothing in my mind. What can I write it with?" The old man smiled bitterly.
"Is begging for mercy useful? How can you take back the order that was given during the enthronement ceremony during the day? You are not joking." An old man shook his head.
"How about we try to follow the training methods of some warriors? Our king seems to be quite good at martial arts. Before he came to the throne, he even forged iron himself."
"Does blacksmithing have something to do with martial arts? You also teach warrior cultivation methods. You can't write anything by referring to the legalist orthodox cultivation methods. Can these martial arts cultivation methods be useful? And this is a cultivation method that belongs exclusively to the Human Emperor!" The old Legalist replied angrily.
"What should we do? Let's make something up randomly?"
"Can this kind of thing be compiled indiscriminately? If something happens to the king after practicing the cultivation method, he will lose his head!"
After being rejected one after another, the old man suddenly became a little annoyed and became anxious: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you think I should do?"
"If I want to know what to do, do I still need to be here?"
Looking at the gradually noisy hall, the old man at the head suddenly became two big!
"OK OK!"
"Don't make any noise!"
"Now is not the time to make noise!"
"The most important thing right now is to figure out how to write the Human Emperor Sutra!"
Hearing this, an old Legalist man immediately became angry and dropped the writing brush in his hand.
"Think about it, Lao Li, you said it lightly, but this is not something that people can think of at all!"
"This is a cultivation method. If it could be written down so easily, it wouldn't be so precious!"
Seeing this scene, the old man at the head could only sigh helplessly.
In fact, he was a little helpless!
The old man's name is Li Weizhi, and he is a descendant of Li Kui, a great master of Legalism.
As the descendant of the first person who put forward the idea of "the way to serve the country, eat with work and pay with merit, reward those who are capable, and punish with punishment", the old man Li Wei also has a pivotal position in the current Legalists!
He is knowledgeable and well-informed, and the most important thing is that he is a Qi Refiner in the foundation-building realm. He has helped Legalists solve many problems.
but now.
Even old man Li Weizhi has some numb paws!
Because this command is too difficult. How can the cultivation method be easily written down by ordinary people?
Especially the cultivation method that is exclusive to the Human Emperor is extremely difficult!
This is almost an impossible task!
but.
Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they can only think about it in the end!
Because in the Qin Kingdom, what the King of Qin says is heaven!
Even though most of the current power is controlled by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, the King of Qin is still the King of Qin after all!
After all, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang are just powerful ministers, not the real King of Qin!
The dark night fell.
Starlight spreads.
Firelight and laughter came from Xianyang City in the distance, which seemed to be mixed with the happy cheers of many scholars in the surrounding attics.
But now the Legalists didn't feel happy at all, they just felt that they were quite noisy.
And just when a group of people from the Legalist family were looking sad and depressed.
Suddenly, an old man from the Legal family wearing a white robe murmured.
"Hundred schools of thought. Hundreds of schools of thought?"
A flash of inspiration.
The old man suddenly seemed to have remembered something. He slammed the table and stood up!
'Bang! '
"yes!"
"Philosophers!"
"Why didn't you think of that before?"
This loud banging sound immediately frightened the other old men, but the old man in white robe didn't care at all. He looked at the other Legalists excitedly and spoke with great excitement!
"There are hundreds of schools of thought, there are hundreds of schools of thought, everyone!"
"If we can't compile the Human Emperor Sutra by referring to our Legalist's own cultivation methods, then what if we refer to the cultivation methods of other schools of thought?"
"There is only one cultivation method of Legalism, so it may not be possible to study the Human Emperor Sutra, but what if there are more?" The old man in white robe said excitedly, with a pair of old eyes opening and closing: "Confucianism, Taoism, military strategists, farmers,... Miscellaneous writers, even novelists!!!”
"With so many cultivation methods from hundreds of schools of thought fused together, there can always be a clue to the Human Emperor Sutra, right?!"
Hearing what the white robe said, the many Legalists who were holding pens and thinking hard were immediately stunned!
Um? ? ?
It seems to make sense!
If you can’t figure out the clues to the Human Emperor Sutra just by referring to the Legalist cultivation methods, then it might be really useful to refer to the cultivation methods of various schools of thought!
Their eyes gradually brightened.
You must know that the hundreds of schools of thought represent countless schools of thought and cultivation methods in the entire world!
If so many schools of thought and cultivation methods are integrated together, there will definitely be ideas!
But while they were excited, some people frowned and were a little worried.
"But the cultivation method is also extremely precious among all schools of thought. Can they give it to me?"
After hearing this, everyone who had been excited suddenly became hesitant!
yes!
The cultivation methods of various schools of thought are basically the foundation of their existence. How could it be given to them so easily?
But other than that, there seems to be no other choice!
Many old Legalists frowned and thought hard, but in the end they still couldn't find any perfect solution.
In the end, it was old man Li Weizhi who gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice!
"I'll go get it myself!"
"If it doesn't require all the cultivation methods, but just one or two sentences, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
"While the enthronement ceremony has just ended and people from hundreds of schools of thought have not yet left, I will show off my old face and ask for a few of them to come over no matter what!"
Upon hearing this, many old Legalists took a deep breath and their eyes became determined!
"I am coming too!"
"Let's go together!"
"Isn't it just an old face? Compared with my Da Qin Legalist family, it's nothing!"
"go together!!"
Just do it!
Faced with matters involving the entire Da Qin Legalists, many old men had no intention of slacking off. They immediately walked out of their homes and rushed from all directions towards the place where many scholars and hundreds of schools of thought had settled!
With uneasiness, Li Weizhi and others came to the place where hundreds of scholars were waiting in Xianyang.
"Please also inform me that Li Wei, the leader of the Legalists of the Great Qin Dynasty, has come to visit and has something important to ask for."
Standing in front of the Confucian gatehouse, the old man Li Weizhi respectfully opened his mouth to make fun of himself.
"Please wait a moment!" the concierge hurried back to inform.
Not long after, Confucian's envoy to Qin came out in a hurry.
This is an old man who looks a few years older than Li Weizhi. His name is Kong Jin, with flowing white hair. He is a collateral grandson of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and a cousin of the current Confucian Yanshenggong Kong Ji. Werder.
"Weizhi? Please come in quickly. What's the purpose of your visit at such a night?" Kong Yu was surprised and helped Li Weizhi walk into the hall.
"Long time no see, I'm visiting Brother Yunda." Li Weizhi said with a smile, which was a bit difficult to say. After all, he was asking for the most core cultivation method of the family. Even if he was mentally prepared when he came, he would inevitably panic at this time.
"Why should we be so indifferent between you and me? That's all, let's try the fine summer tea brought to brother Ziqi first." Kong Fu introduced Li Weizhi into the room, prepared tea, and entertained him warmly.
In the next period of time, Kong Haizhi took Li Weizhi and talked excitedly about many things from all over the world, comparing many theories of Confucianism and Legalism.
Seeing that midnight was about to pass, old man Li Weizhi finally couldn't bear it any longer. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and spoke in a deep voice.
"Yunda, I came here this time because I actually have something to ask for."
"Oh?" Kong Fu said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter."
"The King ordered me, the Legalists of the Qin State, to compile a new cultivation method, the Human Emperor Sutra. I wonder if Brother Yunda knows about it?"
Kong Jin nodded: "I know it myself."
Upon hearing this answer, Li Weizhi took a deep breath, looked at the old man in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.
"This compilation of the Human Emperor Sutra is extremely difficult. It is extremely difficult to successfully compile it based only on the Legalist cultivation methods."
"In order to successfully compile the Human Emperor Sutra, help our Legalists get out of trouble, and maintain our courage, I asked Brother Yunda for a quote on Confucian cultivation methods for reference."
Li Weizhi stood up slowly, bowed and looked nervous.
"Not too much."
"Just one sentence."
"Brother Yunda, please help!"
As soon as these words came out.
The whole room suddenly became quiet.
'Plop'
'Plop'
Li Weizhi's heart was beating continuously. He lowered his head and kept his hands in a posture of trance, feeling uneasy.
After all, this is to ask for the core Confucian cultivation method. To be fair, no one will agree to such a precious thing.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Kong Fu never replied.
The only sounds in the whole room were his breathing and heartbeat.
Li Weizhi's heart gradually sank.
Time passed by minute by second, and just when Li Weizhi thought Kong Jin would reject it all.
Kong Fu's words finally rang out.
"I was still wondering what it was. I came to visit you in the middle of the night. I never thought it was like this!"
Kong Jin laughed loudly, walked forward, helped Li Weizhi up, and spoke with concern.
"It's just a cultivation method, why bother with it?"
"Is one sentence enough? I'll give you three!"
Li Weizhi, who was helped up, was stunned for a moment.
? ? ? ?
Three sentences?
Did I hear it wrong?
Why three sentences?
Aren’t all the cultivation methods of various schools extremely precious? How could they be given away so easily?
While Li Weizhi was stunned, Kong Jin across from him was not idle at all.
He took the bamboo slips and pen and wrote three Confucian cultivation formulas in a swipe. He handed them to Li Weizhi on the spot and spoke with a smile.
"The three sentences are not connected, but they should be enough for reference."
"I hope Wei Zhi that you can successfully compile the Human Emperor Sutra as soon as possible."
After borrowing the bamboo slip, Li Weizhi looked down blankly.
Looking at the three-sentence formula that moves the dragon and the snake, Li Weizhi almost had a premonition on the spot, an innate feeling!
These three mantras are true!
But this only made Li Weizhi even more confused!
Why was it given so easily?
Aren’t the cultivation methods of various schools of thought extremely precious?
When can I give it away so casually?
He thanked Kong Fu vaguely. Even after Li Weizhi left the Confucian mansion, he still didn't understand what happened.
However.
What Li Weizhi didn't expect was that this kind of thing didn't just happen to him alone!
That night, almost all the Legalists who went out at night and went to various schools of thought to ask for cultivation methods, all encountered the same thing!
They were frightened and trembling, and with the thought of being invited out at any time, they asked the leaders of various schools of thought for cultivation instructions.
I thought this process would be extremely difficult and tricky.
But what almost everyone in Legalism did not expect was that there was no obstacle to this process!
Almost all people from various schools of thought expressed full enthusiasm when faced with the request of the Legalists! !
Almost all the scholars wrote their own formulas and gave them to them!
Some even, like Kong Fu, didn’t just give a sentence!
Instead, he gave three or four incoherent, true formulas! !
"Everyone in the world is one family. The Legalists of the Qin Dynasty are in trouble today, so why not help? These three Taoist formulas are under your command!"
"Feel free to refer to it! If it's not enough, ask for more!"
"These are two mantras from my military strategist. Use them as you like."
"Three words from the farmer, I wish the Legalists will succeed in compiling the Human Emperor Sutra as soon as possible!"
"It is a great honor for me, the Mohist family, to contribute to the compilation of the Human Emperor Sutra by the Legalists. Please accept this formula."
Looking at these formulas and gifts, the old man Li Weizhi who returned to the mansion was all confused and had no idea what was going on.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the various schools of thought be determined to hide the formula and refuse to give it to them?
Why are you so generous today?
Could it be that the king put pressure on me?
It shouldn't be
Old man Li Weizhi and others looked confused.
Sitting in front of the campfire and thinking until dawn, many Legalists gradually figured out what was going on.
When I asked for the formula before, I didn't seem to feel it, but now when I look back and think about it carefully, when these scholars gave us the formula, their expressions and words seemed to have a meaning of charity?
No, not just charity.
It seems to be filled with pity, sympathy, pity
as if
It's like looking at a hapless beggar.
Alms, mercy, sympathy, pity.
And those blessings to the Legalists for compiling the Human Emperor Sutra
Looking at the many formulas of various schools of thought in their hands, Li Weizhi and many other old Legalists finally came to their senses, and their faces suddenly turned blue and white with anger! !
Sweet and cool!
I asked you why you were so generous this time!
Did you originally have the idea of watching a show and giving alms? !
