The three of them looked sad, but none of this sadness was for Confucianism, it was all for themselves.
After a long time, Meng Qiu sighed.
"Confucianism will have nothing to do with us even if Daxia is about to fall."
"Don't forget that since we participated in the "Essay Contest", we have nothing to do with Confucianism. "
"We are already members of Da Qin."
Meng Qiu's voice was calm and rational, while Zeng Lu and Shi Xuanni on the side sighed.
They all said in unison: "That's true."
The three of them made their decision silently.
At this time, Confucianism is in trouble, and they cannot continue to have the slightest entanglement with Confucianism.
A way must be found.
Think of a way to completely draw a clear line with Confucianism and let people know that although they are born in Confucianism, they have nothing to do with Confucianism.
After much thought, Zeng Lu finally came up with a more reliable idea.
"Why do we have to think so hard?"
There was a determined smile on his lips.
"I heard that one of the Mohist disciples in Baijia Palace is that nephew."
"That person is now the celebrity in front of His Majesty."
"As long as we find a way to meet that person and express our sincerity, he will naturally tell us the way."
Zeng Lu was very confident.
The difference between him and Meng Qiu is that he himself is outside Confucianism.
Although Zeng Lu was born in one of the eight schools of Confucianism, he was even from the famous "Zengzi" family in the history of Confucianism.
But his relationship with Confucianism was not good.
His ancestor "Zengzi" was well-versed in many things, and so were the rest of his ancestors.
And his father was the strongest supporter of Xunzi's school of thought.
Xun Confucianism is unorthodox; Confucius and Mencius are the orthodox successors of Confucianism.
Therefore, their family never revealed their identity, but in their hearts, they did not agree with Confucius and Mencius.
Shi Xuanni also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Zeng Lu's idea.
He grew up with Zeng Lu, and even Zeng Lu's father was his teacher. Naturally, he studied Xun Confucianism.
Seeing the two people persisting, Meng Qiu nodded helplessly.
"In that case, I just listen to these two wise brothers."
It was not that he didn't know that these two were the descendants of Xun Ru, but he was even more aware of another thing.
Xunzi's influence in Da Qin is not weak now.
There are always people who think that today's Da Qin Chen Ke is a celebrity, but they ignore another thing.
Who is the Prime Minister Zuo of the Qin Dynasty?
They even ignored another more important thing.
Who was the teacher of Prime Minister Zuo of the Qin Dynasty?
They also overlooked something more important than what came before.
Prime Minister Zuo of the Qin Dynasty had a good relationship with Chen Ke, the young minister. Chen Ke even asked the First Emperor for instructions and ordered the Manufacturing Department to print a book "Law" for Li Si.
Meng Qiu forgot all the flaws he saw and pretended that he had not seen them.
Out of sight out of mind.
Shi Xuanni and Zeng Lu, who were walking in front, looked at each other and both showed a sly smile like a fox.
Will they really reveal their flaws?
Actually not, after all they have been pretending for many years.
Then why can Meng Qiu see it?
Because they want Meng Qiu to see it.
...........
Prime Minister's Mansion
Li Si sat in front of his bookcase, looking at what Chen Ke had just sent over, with a melancholy look on his face.
He knew that this guy Chen Ke could speak better than he could sing.
Although I said before that I should work harder and do more things, in fact, I still push the work to myself now.
Li Si shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face, and he handled the things in his hands with a smile on his face.
Chen Ke is now twenty-three years old. When the new date is set at the beginning of this year, Chen Ke will be twenty-four years old after December.
He is now in his thirties and almost forty.
Li Si's son is even different from Chen Ke. His son Li Yang is 19 this year and is in high school.
In one year's time, his son will be crowned.
Li Si thought while handling the government affairs at hand.
Can he stuff his son into Baijia Palace?
this is a problem.
Go back and ask Chen Ke.
...........
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng looked at the person sitting in front of him with a little helplessness on his face.
"Old General Wang, now I have no idea of attacking the Huns. It's a good thing that you were born and trained in Xianyang."
Wang Jian looked dissatisfied. When he was about to say something, Ying Zheng spoke first.
"As for Baiyue, I have no thoughts of attacking it for the time being."
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian's confused and surprised expression and pondered for a moment.
"Old General Wang, I tell you the truth, during this southern tour, I ordered the people from Heibingtai to go to the Baiyue Land in the south to conduct a careful survey."
"Do you know what I discovered?"
Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng's serious expression, and a look of solemnity flashed across his face.
What can you find in Baiyue?
He thought so and asked: "What happened?"
Ying Zheng sighed quietly, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice.
"The people from Black Ice Platform went to the Land of Baiyue in person, but they gradually became unwell because of the miasma there."
"Fortunately, they exited Baiyue in time after discovering this problem."
"Then I inquired with traders who often go to Baiyue Land, and that's how I found out."
"We in Great Qin know too much about Baiyue. There is a lot of miasma there, it is easy to be poisoned, and there are many mosquitoes and snakes."
“If you are not careful, you may get injured.
"
"And that place is full of jungles and hills, and our soldiers can't move unimpeded there."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly.
What Chen Ke had said to him before appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"When Chen Ke talked to me before, I thought that this kid would destroy his own prestige if he had other people's ambitions."
"Now I just learned that the land of Baiyue is like this."
"Not to mention whether the Great Qin will be victorious in the end, but it is just that the Great Qin has just been unified. The lives of my old Qin people are so important. How can I be buried in a foreign country because of this?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
A cruel look flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
"So, I decided to put aside the conquest of Baiyue for the time being, and wait until I think of a way, or when doctors can overcome the miasma, then I will conquer Baiyue."
After listening to Ying Zheng's explanation, Wang Jian's heart trembled slightly.
He didn't expect that Baiyue's situation would be so complicated...
If he goes there rashly, he will die if he dies. It is a blessing to have a handful of old bones buried in the battlefield.
But what about the group of sons and daughters who follow him?
As soon as Wang Jian closed his eyes, he thought of the soldiers who trusted him very much, and the soldiers who were like his children fell one by one because of him.
He opened his eyes, with both happiness and sadness on his face.
Wang Jian said with a hint of self-mockery.
"Fortunately, His Majesty is here."
"If His Majesty hadn't sent someone to investigate, I'm afraid this old bone would have been buried in a foreign land."
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes without leaving any trace, and then said: "It's not me, it's Chen Ke."
"He made it clear that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger."
"If you don't know the situation of a place and go to conquer it, it will definitely bring losses to Great Qin."
If you know yourself and the enemy, can you fight a hundred battles without danger?
Wang Jian clapped his hands and laughed after hearing this: "Hahahahahaha, I didn't expect that."
"Shaofu Chen not only has fantastic ideas and a pair of wonderful hands, but he also knows so much about military matters."
He was a little emotional and seemed to say inadvertently: "I heard that Chen Shaofu plans to open a Baijia Palace."
"It also divided the current schools into different schools."
"I have heard that among them are the "Legal Palace" of Legalism, the "Wen Palace" of Confucianism, and the "Philosophy Palace" of Taoism, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and famous scholars. "
Wang Jian counted with a strange look on his face.
"These gossips spread very quickly, but I don't seem to have heard that there are military strategists among them."
His face was full of confusion, but in fact there was a funny smile in his eyes.
"What's going on? Your Majesty, do you know?"
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian, who was sitting across from him with a confused look on his face, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he helplessly held his forehead.
He thought that Wang Jian came to conquer Baiyue, but he didn't expect that Wang Jian came to conquer Baijia Palace...
Ying Zheng pressed his beating temples to calm down the complicated feelings in his heart.
"Chen Ke has not handed this matter to me yet, and I have never known about it."
Ying Zheng decided not to take the blame for Chen Ke, but let Chen Ke take the blame himself.
"But I am also very curious about this matter. I will ask Chen Ke when I hand him over."
He smiled meaningfully at Wang Jian: "At that time, General Wang can also ask carefully to see what is going on."
"After all, this is something Chen Ke is responsible for."
Wang Jian blinked to show his understanding, and said with a serious face: "I obey the order."
...........
Chen Mansion
Chen Ke looked at the four distinguished guests in front of him with a strange look on his face.
"It's strange, you are really an honored guest."
He shook his head, pushed the wine glass in front of him forward, and looked at Lin Fang and others.
"Master Nephew, Mr. Zeng, Mr. Meng, and Mr. Shi, the four of you came to me. What is your business?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Lin Fang immediately smiled awkwardly.
"Ahem."
"Uncle Master, it's not that I have something to come to see you for, but these three colleagues have something to come to see you for."
"They said there is something very important and they must meet with Uncle Master."
"But I was afraid that my uncle wouldn't want to see them, so I had no choice but to ask me to bring them here."
While listening, Chen Ke looked at Shi Xuanni and others with a half-smile.
Zeng Lu didn't feel embarrassed at all, just smiled slightly.
"Young Master Chen, I've heard of his name for a long time."
"Zeng heard the name of Chen Shaofu many times when he was abroad. The "paper" and "block printing" made by Chen Shaofu all made Zeng yearn for them. "
"Now that I know that Brother Lin is the nephew of the Shaofu, I am thinking of the reputation of the Shaofu. I sincerely ask Brother Lin to bring us here and hope that the Shaofu will forgive me."
Zeng Lu put the shelf very low, and Chen Ke also smiled slightly.
What he wants to do now is not to completely destroy Confucianism, but to divide it into parts.
Simply put, it’s three words.
"Treat", "Behead", "Accept as a dog"
