Shusuntong's words shocked even people like Liu Bai!
ox!
Enjoying the blessings alone and sharing the hardships together, he is worthy of being a great Confucian. This righteous argument directly sent tens of thousands of Confucian disciples to repair toilets!
Liu Bai's original intention was...since they wanted to make him work hard, then just let them work hard!
But I didn't expect that even these Confucian disciples would work hard, which can be regarded as an unexpected achievement.
Chunyu Yue repeatedly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, almost unable to react.
When Wan Ru entered Xianyang, they were originally asked to pay for their own expenses.
It's a good thing now. You haven't preached Confucian benevolence and righteousness much when you came to Xianyang, so why don't you preach "wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet"?
"Your Majesty, Confucius, the sage of Confucianism, traveled around various countries in the past, worked hard personally, and was considerate of the people's thoughts."
"Nowadays, my country, Da Qin, is so generous to the Confucians that it actually makes them forget the importance of 'people'."
"Dr. Shusun said that he wants Confucian students to actively participate in Gongzi Gao's Xianyang transformation plan. This has two benefits!"
"A Confucian disciple uses hard work to understand the ideas of the Confucian sages and regards the people as the most precious!"
"The second one has really promoted the development of Xianyang! Let's put aside the issue of the source of the epidemic mentioned by Xia Wuqie. Simply keeping our Daqin streets clean is also conducive to our Daqin's national prestige!"
"Old minister, I beg your Majesty to agree!"
As if he was afraid that Shusun Tong would regret it, Li Si, the old fox, saw the right moment and stood up. With his words of 'two benefits', he directly blocked the Confucian official's escape path!
The combination of the left and right made them feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly alive.
Indeed, it was they who first wrote memorials to ask Liu Bai about the interpretation of the scriptures, and then were led to the idea of "people-based".
Once thoughts are involved, there is no way to argue with Li Si's "two benefits" statement!
"Dr. Shusun is confused!"
Many Confucian officials secretly clapped their thighs and looked at Shusun Tong with vague complaints in their eyes.
"Since Confucians have this intention, I should also encourage them."
"Li Si proposes to reduce or exempt some of the corvee for all Confucian disciples who participate in the Xianyang transformation plan."
On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor spoke calmly.
People are stupid to begin with, and His Majesty the First Emperor cannot really take advantage of Shusun Tong's stupidity to trick Confucian children like Liu Bai.
It is the national policy of the Qin Dynasty to promote internal law while promoting benevolence externally.
"promise!"
Li Si agreed without any other advice.
...
"Sir, have you thought about it?"
After retreating from the court, Liu Bai did not leave directly. Instead, he walked to Fusu's side and asked.
"What are you thinking about? Fusu doesn't know, so please ask the teacher for clarification."
Fusu was slightly startled, a little confused.
Liu Bai smiled slightly, looked at the figures of many officials leaving, and said: "Young Master, in the past, you were the only royal son who came to the court to observe the government, and he was also the one who worked hard for the Qin Dynasty."
"Not to mention whether I really want to help Da Qin in what I do, this attitude alone is seen by all the officials in the court."
"but..."
Liu Bai changed the topic: "Now Gongzi Gao has established the Great Qin City Management Supervisor and proposed a Xianyang transformation plan. As long as Xianyang can really have results, he will promote the entire Great Qin!"
"Young Master Cheri is fighting for gold, and is helping the national treasury to overcome the shortage of gold in the Qin Dynasty."
"Young Master Qi has now gone to the Mojia Workshop to prepare for a government-run papermaking workshop."
"Young Master Lu will serve as the order of Xianyang and work day and night for the people of Qin."
"Even the Young Master's Juxian Hall is now continuing to popularize Qin love culture among the people, and is volunteering to help children recognize some simple characters."
"And Master, you..."
Liu Bai's smile slowly faded and he uttered four words: "Stop!"
After saying these four words, Fusu trembled and his expression was complicated.
How could he not understand what Liu Bai said?
Seeing the changes in the brothers, he was also happy because they were all making real contributions to Da Qin.
But... on the contrary, his brother has been confused by his thoughts recently and doesn't know what to do!
"Teacher, can you point out a way for students?"
"Why Confucianism?"
"Students knew it before, but they don't understand it now! In other words, they understand it now, but they didn't understand it before!"
Fusu took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
Seeing Fusu's appearance, Liu Bai laughed, and regardless of the difference between the emperor and his ministers, he gently straightened Fusu's clothes:
"Son."
"You might as well stand up straight and take a few steps forward to try it!"
"Why Confucianism? Why Dao? Why this world? Is it important?"
"The important thing is, where your steps are, that's where the road will be!"
After saying that, Liu Bai laughed loudly and slapped Fusu on the back: "Sir, the road is at your feet!"
"Walk!"
....
After returning to the palace, Fusu closed his eyes and thought deeply until late at night.
The study was dark, with no candles even lit. Only the thin moonlight between the windows shone brightly on the desk in front of Fusu.
Fusu opened his eyes, showed his face, and raised his hands.
A volume of "The Analects of Confucius" is tied with a cowhide rope and placed on the bookcase.
"Mr. Liu, Fusu understands."
Fusu smiled lightly, then sat upright and said loudly: "Here comes someone!"
"Master!"
A palace maid walked into the study.
"Hold the lamp and eat."
...
Under the dim candlelight, Fusu ate the black cake in his hand and thought of his ancestors.
The ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty, did they ever doubt their own path, was it correct?
He Fusu shouldn't think so much, he should stick to one thing:
Doing good for Da Qin is good!
The so-called Confucianism, Law? No matter how well the scriptures say, when you take the first step, you will no longer follow the path of your predecessors.
At this point, Fusu began to truly practice his dedication to Qin with the eyes of a royal prince.
....
At the same time, when I was supposed to be sleeping soundly late at night, the house of Shu Sun Tong was bustling with activity!
Many Confucian officials came to Shusun Tong's house from the back door and remained silent in the hall, waiting quietly for someone to arrive.
The moon was high and the night was dark. With the support of Chun Yuyue, an old and hunched figure walked into the hall and sat on the main seat.
"Mr. Kong!"
"gentlemen!"
"..."
The greetings were heard one after another, and the Confucian officials were all performing discipleship rituals.
"It doesn't matter."
"We are having a secret conversation tonight. Although we are talking about the release of the library in the future, I know that you are unhappy with my uncle and grandson's words and deeds in the court today!"
"but,"
"You have misunderstood uncle and grandson."
Kong Yu said lightly, then took Shusun Tong's hand, patted his hands slightly, and said: "Shusun is an old student with a noble personality and smart thinking. How can he harm the interests of my Confucian family and trouble the children of Confucianism? Power?"
"Uncle-Sun, let me explain to you."
After saying these words, everyone was startled. Their eyes that were originally complaining about Shusun Tong also showed doubts at this moment.
Could it be...
Letting Confucian disciples participate in Gongzi Gao's plan to build toilets for the people of Xianyang is also part of Mr. Kong's plan?
....
