Immediately, an old man gave up his position.
Li Si shook his loose robe sleeves and sat down majestically.
"Legalist Cao Si"
"Confucian Fu Nian"
End of introduction.
Li Si went straight to the point when he opened his mouth: "Benevolent government, Zhou rites, and the well-field system, do you really think it is feasible?"
Fu Nian had too many answers to such questions, and he immediately replied: "If the state has a sage king and a good prime minister, benevolent government is feasible, Zhou rites are feasible, and the well-field system is even more feasible."
Li Si sneered and said: "When the country rises and falls, Master places his hope in the restoration of the Holy King, but in reality, human rule is unsustainable. Si dares to assert that if a country is governed by Confucianism, it will be incompetent internally and even more incompetent externally."
In the audience, Cao Yi heard Li Si's words and secretly sighed at Li Si's foresight.
In later generations, the Han Dynasty, which placed great emphasis on Confucianism and was still very powerful, actually followed the path of "kings mixed Taoism with Taoism" and "paying equal attention to Confucianism and Legalism". The Song and Ming Dynasties, which relied entirely on Confucianism, were in a mess in the later period.
Fu Nian retorted: "How long can the Legalist rule of law last long?"
Li Si said loudly: "The master's talk about political power should be referring to the Shuzhi school. The core of the Shuzhi school is to rectify the administration of officials and investigate officials, which is very different from the manipulation of power. The rule of law is even more nonsense. The common people are ignorant. If nobles are indulgent and indulgent, if they cannot be governed, what will be the difference between the world and the past? In the past, when the princes were pious and offended, they even got tattoos. Can Confucianism do it? I would like to tell you, master, the governance of the world is not about empty talk, but about practical action. Whoever can strengthen the country and enrich the people is the way. , otherwise it will be empty talk that will harm the country.”
Fu Nian was speechless.
Li Si straightened up and said aggressively: "Ask me again, Master, have you ever governed a country?"
This question is bullying!
Fu Nian had only been a doctor who compiled classics and taught knowledge, not to mention running a country, not even a pavilion.
"It's ridiculous that a little doctor thinks he has read a few books and dares to talk about the way of governing the country."
After saying that, Li Si walked away with a puff of sleeves.
Not only Legalist disciples, but also disciples from other schools of thought cheered.
At this moment, Cao Yi heard a burst of footsteps approaching the academy.
Could it be that the troops from the imperial court have arrived?
As soon as this idea came into Cao Yi's mind, he heard Ying Zheng ask: "Taoist Priest, can you play chess?"
Playing chess?
Cao Yi really understands that when he was in college, he had nothing to learn.
"There is a pavilion outside"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he walked out.
Cao Yi went out and found that it was raining lightly outside. The raindrops fell down one after another, and it was cool.
Ying Zheng turned around and said, "Sir, can you remove the spell on my face?"
"Can"
Cao Yi put his hand on Ying Zheng's body and output spiritual energy, which quickly broke through the power of the spell on Ying Zheng's face.
When the spiritual energy was withdrawn, the power of the spell was removed from his face.
After walking for a while, we came to the pavilion. There were two mats and a table with a chessboard and chess pieces on the table.
"sit"
"Um"
The two of them sat on either side of the table.
Those dense footsteps became clearer, coming from the direction of the small lake that I had visited before.
Cao Yi subconsciously thought that Ying Zheng wanted to wipe out all the scholars in one fell swoop, but he felt that it was wrong. If he really did this, there was no need for him to come in person.
With a soft sound, Ying Zheng fell to the first position.
Ying Zheng uses Heizi.
Cao Yi picked up the white piece and lost one piece.
"No, someone came in."
"Go out and fight"
…
Several Confucian scholars ran out of the woods in the direction of the small lake and rushed to the front of the academy, shouting.
Soon, two to three hundred people from hundreds of schools of thought, mainly Confucianists, rushed out of the academy with weapons in their hands.
Li Si, who was caught in the middle, rushed to the pavilion and gasped: "Your Majesty, they are coming."
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and said calmly: "Sit down."
Li Si glanced in the direction of Xiaohu, with a worried expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Cao Yi murmured in his heart, but he didn't ask who these people were. They would find out soon.
One black and one white chess piece fell alternately on the chessboard without being affected by the outside world at all.
"His Majesty has superb chess skills"
“The Taoist priest is not bad either”
An emperor and a Taoist priest encouraged each other in business.
After a while, people holding weapons appeared in the direction of the small lake, numbering no less than two thousand.
The people of various schools of thought were much stronger than those scholars of later generations. They faced ten times the enemy without fear and rushed forward one by one with shouts.
Soon, the two sides were in a melee, regardless of each other.
I don’t know if God wanted to join in the fun, but the light rain turned into moderate rain, and the rain began to fall. The sky and the earth soon became hazy, like rising white smoke.
The rain mixed with blood stirred up, and people kept falling.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking Qufu Academy?"
A Confucian disciple with blood on his face asked loudly.
"kill"
"kill"
…
He was answered by intensive shouts of death.
Due to the large gap in numbers, people from various schools of thought kept retreating.
In the pavilion, Cao Yi had just played a chess piece, and his expression became strange.
He felt that he could control the rain within a foot around him, and he could let the rain fall where he wanted it to fall.
Thinking of what happened at the small lake before, Cao Yi was basically certain that it was because he had absorbed the spiritual energy of the five elements to a certain extent.
"Your Majesty, the thieves are powerful, so it's better to stay out of the way for now."
Li Si's voice suddenly sounded.
Cao Yi, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked at Ying Zheng, who was holding chess pieces and didn't know how to place them.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Why are you panicking?"
Li Si sighed and walked impatiently outside the pavilion, looking towards the door: "What's going on with Zhang Han? He's not here yet."
Cao Yi picked up a white chess piece and put it down, saying, "Your Majesty, using yourself as bait is too risky."
At this point, they still don’t know that Ying Zheng is here today because Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with the intention of attracting the snake out of the hole, and Cao Yi’s life was in vain.
Ying Zheng looked at the chessboard with a thoughtful expression on his face and said: "The remnant forces of Qi are so intertwined that they have been difficult to eliminate. Xiang Yu has gained very little these days. I have no choice but to take this approach."
Cao Yi looked at the hundreds of disciples who kept falling: "Where are these people?"
Ying Zheng didn't even raise his head: "Taoist Master, take a closer look."
After hearing the words, Cao Yi looked carefully for a while and discovered the problem. Someone in the various schools of thought secretly attacked the people around him.
Ying Zheng picked up the eaten Baizi and said, "No one knows how many remnants of Qi and even other countries are mixed in it."
"They only know that I will come today, but they don't know what I look like, so they kill everyone they see."
After hearing Ying Zheng's words and looking at the fallen Confucian disciples, Cao Yi thought of the word "burning books and entrapping Confucianism". To be precise, it means entrapping Confucianism.
Suddenly, two thieves holding iron swords rushed towards the pavilion.
A clang!
Li Si took out the sword from his waist and looked ready to protect him.
"Prime Minister, don't panic"
As Cao Yi spoke, he tried to control the rain within a foot.
The two thieves armed with iron swords quickly came within a foot of each other.
The pampered Li Si had the ability to protect people, and when the sword in his hand was stabbed out, his hands were floating.
The two thieves holding iron swords were about to stab Li Si to death when two water arrows suddenly appeared and hit their knees respectively. They both knelt straight on the ground immediately.
The sword in Li Si's hand pierced directly into the heart of one of them.
"ah"
The thief let out a shrill scream.
Li Si pulled out his sword and swung it hurriedly, accidentally slicing the necks of the two thieves. Bright red blood spurted out from the necks of the two thieves.
With a thud, the two thieves fell down.
Li Si held the sword and looked at the two thieves lying on the ground twitching with a blank expression.
