Zhao Kuo returned to the palace, chatted with An Ning and the others for a while, relieved their emotions, and said that he would bring An Ning's family over in a few days to discuss the marriage.
Chulong also came back from Qi. The two countries set the wedding of Zhao Kuo and Tian Shu in September. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Kuo should marry Tian Shu and An Ning at the same time.
Fortunately, Confucianism is not respected now. Otherwise, people like An Ning who lived in the palace before getting married would have been scolded by the ministers, and even Zhao Kuo would have been scolded.
As for now, neither Xunzi nor Yu Xin are complaining, who dares to complain?
Oh, no, someone really dares to complain.
Pierced!
This guy only sprayed Xunzi at first, but Xunzi hadn't returned to Handan yet, so Xunzi couldn't hear him no matter how hard he sprayed.
If the other party can't hear you, what's the point of spraying?
Then Kong Chuan stopped spraying. It was against etiquette to spray Zhao Kuo instead.
However, this guy is still a bit measured. He only criticizes Zhao Kuo but not An Ning.
After all, it is natural for a minister to troll the king, but it is not good to troll the concubine.
"Your Majesty, Xunzi is coming back soon." Yu Xin found Zhao Kuo, leaned over and said.
Zhao Kuo didn't understand what Yu Xin meant, but he still nodded: "I will greet Xunzi when the time comes."
When important ministers of the State of Zhao leave or return to the capital, Zhao Kuo will usually send them out of the city in person or greet them outside the city if there is no urgent matter.
Even if the dumplings and steamed buns were made in the palace, Zhao Kuo would send some to the civil and military ministers in the capital for them to try.
Not much, but it can express Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
Whenever Zhao Kuo sees the loyalty shown in everyone's eyes, he feels that everything he has done is worth it.
"That's not it. Xunzi and Kong Chuan will fight when they meet." Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't understand, Yu Xin said directly.
"A fight? Didn't Xunzi and Kong Chuan both know each other in Qi?" Zhao Kuo said strangely.
We didn't fight in Qi, so why did we fight in Handan?
"Kong Chuan was forced away from Jixia by Xunzi and returned to Jimo." Yu Xin spread his hands and said helplessly.
In the minds of most Confucians, Xunzi is a heretic. As the sixth descendant of Confucius and the representative of Confucian orthodoxy, how could Kong Chuan tolerate the existence of Xunzi?
After Kong Chuan was defeated by Gongsun Long, he heard that Xunzi was serving as a wine sacrifice in Jixia. He rushed over without saying a word, hoping to drive Xunzi out of Jixia.
However, Kong Chuan still underestimated Xunzi's strength. As a person who even Confucius dared to spray, Xunzi had never taken him seriously, and he directly opened fire with full firepower. He not only sprayed Kong Chuan, but also The so-called Confucian orthodoxy of the Confucian family has been criticized by the individual.
After finishing it, Xunzi also said that he was the orthodox Confucian, regardless of the lack of blood.
Kong Chuang was so angry that he took off his Confucian robe and started fucking with Xunzi.
Although Confucians generally use their words, they never stop using their hands. They will fight if they can't talk. Fist is also a kind of strength. Kong Chuan said that the kind of weak scholar who couldn't even pick up a spear was definitely not a Confucian.
However, Kong Chuan met his opponent in Xunzi...
Xunzi stroked his sleeves and leaked his muscles, and he could hit him twice.
After being beaten, Kong Chuan still refused to accept it.
Then the two competed in the six arts. In addition to having fun, Xunzi completely tortured the holes.
In the end, Kong Chuan could only leave Jixia in despair.
"There is such a thing! Isn't Kong Bin Kong Chuan's brother? Didn't he help Kong Chuan?" Zhao Kuo frowned and said with some suspicion.
He knew that Xunzi was strong, but brothers Kong Bin and Kong Chuan were not vegetarians, especially Kong Bin, who was the prime minister of Wei at that time.
"At that time, Kong Bin and Kong Chuan drove chariots to attack Xunzi from the left and the right, but they were defeated by Xunzi. That's why Kong Bin went to Wei." Yu Xin said with a smile.
He passed down Xunzi's "Spring and Autumn". In a sense, Xunzi was his student.
The students are great, and the teachers are naturally proud of them.
Is that old man so strong? The legendary hexagonal warrior was nothing more than this, Zhao Kuo felt a burst of curse in his heart.
"Then what does Yu Qing think we should do?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Didn't I hear that your Majesty wants to build a ferry crossing at the mouth of the river? The person in charge has not been decided yet, why not let Kong Chuan pass through?" Yu Xin said.
There is a difference between closeness and distance, so he has no pressure to stand on Xunzi's side.
Zhao Kuo shook his head. Although this could prevent the conflict between the two from breaking out, it was unfair to Kong Chuan.
"In other words, Kong Chuan and Xunzi have ideological conflicts, but I am not Xunzi's opponent, right?" Zhao Kuo said, stroking a small tuft of beard at the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know why, but when I was on the battlefield, my beard almost didn’t grow, and now it suddenly appeared, and it grew faster and faster.
"Yes." Yu Xin nodded.
"Whether Xunzi defeated Kong Chuan or Kong Chuan defeated Xunzi, it would not lead to the death of the other party, right?" Zhao Kuo said.
"This... probably not." Yu Xin said hesitantly, suddenly feeling something bad.
"Then it's easy to handle. Tell Kong Chuan that Xunzi is coming back soon. Kong Chuan is not Xunzi's opponent, doesn't he still have friends? Friends are not Xunzi's opponents, don't friends still have friends? Shout all you can Call me, but I don’t believe it. All of them combined are no match for Xunzi? Tell Kong Chuan that I support him.”
Zhao Kuo patted Yu Xin's shoulder and said excitedly.
There are no losers who can make friends with Kong Chuan, they are all talents.
And the fight between them and Xunzi will definitely be exciting. When the time comes, they will surround the outside and sell tickets, and then make bets, and they will definitely make a lot of money.
Yu Xin looked at Zhao Kuo dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhao Kuo would come up with such a solution.
After returning, Yu Xin immediately wrote to Xunzi, asking him to be careful. If he had any friends, it would be best to call a few over to support him.
After Xunzi received the letter, he sneered twice: What are friends?
Kong Chuan was overjoyed when he received the news from Zhao Kuo: "I knew the king was on my side. Heretics are heretics after all!"
"I will write a letter right now and call all my friends here. No, it doesn't have to be friends, they can also be Xun Kuang's enemies. Mencius was criticized by him, so call the Meng family over! Mozi was also criticized He said that there are still many Mohist disciples in Qi State. By the way, the Mohists in Zhao State can also unite. Well, there are also Shen Dao from Legalism, and descendants of Hui Shi in Wei State..."
Kong Chuan suddenly realized that there were too many people he could find. Even one of ten people could knock Xunzi down.
No matter how strong you are, it's useless. As long as you're still in the human category, you can't withstand the beatings of this group of people.
Thinking of this, Kong Chuan was so excited that he immediately went to his brother Kong Bin and asked him to call all his friends and give Xunzi a big one to avenge his previous humiliation.
In fact, Kong Bin didn't have that much resentment towards Xunzi. It was Xunzi who defeated the two brothers openly and without using any tricks.
Kong Bin is willing to admit defeat.
However, for the sake of his brothers, he still wrote a letter to his friends and summoned them to Zhao Guolai.
This suddenly caused an uproar in the world, and countless Confucian disciples and some disciples of various schools of thought drove towards Zhao Kingdom.
These people originally disdained the recruitment order and resisted the attraction of the library, but when they held letters from the two brothers Kong Chuan in their hands, they had no choice but to come.
No one else, because the two are the sixth generation descendants of Confucius.
As long as you are a Confucian, you must share the sentiments of Confucius and extend a helping hand to the descendants of Confucius without going too far.
What's more, isn't eradicating heresy what all Confucians should do?
