The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 119 Scholars from all over the world enter Xianyang
"The techniques of deduction and divination are not the same, but they are the same. They are both judged by reason and acted according to reason."

Yingxuan put away the nine copper coins scattered on the ground. These were the first few coins minted after Qin unified the currency. After handing them over to Yingzheng for review, Yingxuan kept them for deduction.

"Chang Ge Wuhou is a great talent!"

Xing Xiangzi said with emotion that after two days of contact, he found that Yingxuan was proficient in a hundred schools of knowledge, but he did not stick to the words of a hundred schools of thought, and always had his own opinions, even for divination, which is called heresy. By analogy, it has to be admirable.

"However, Marquis Changge Wu, who combines the strengths of hundreds of schools into one body and makes up for his own weaknesses, is correct, but he is so broad and complex that he can't be proficient in one. Isn't it a little bit of a waste of time."

Xing Xiangzi gently reminded Ying Xuan that instead of dabbling in all knowledge, it is better to specialize in one knowledge. Since ancient times, all virtuous people have done this.

"I don't think it is necessary. There are all kinds of power in this world."

Ying Xuan heard something in Xing Xiangzi's words, and retorted: "As far as the group and the individual are concerned, group warfare with united will is a kind of strength, and individual strength that has been honed through thousands of years is also a kind of extreme strength."

"By analogy, intensive cultivation and nothing else is a kind of path, then the cultivation of one's ability, broad and complex is also a kind of path, the so-called broad and profound probably means this."

"Shan, if you are not Wuhou of the Empire, you are probably the figure who founded a school of thought."

Xingxiang did not expect that Yingxuan would put forward such a point of view, which is completely different from the famous schools of thought, but after careful consideration, he found that there is nothing wrong with it.

"Then, are you interested in learning my skills?" Xing Xiangzi stared at Ying Xuan expectantly.

"I, when I was young, was just like you, and I was considered a genius, but unlike you, you put life and death aside, and I was afraid of death, so I took life and death very seriously."

"So I practiced the technique of divination and deduction, in order to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and just to seek peace. But the Warring States was full of wars, and fear of death was the biggest fault, so I was cast aside by others and wandered into the world."

Xing Xiangzi began to tell Ying Xuan about his past experience, which made Ying Xuan sigh.

"Everyone has his own aspirations. I don't think there is anything wrong with the seniors. Just like swimming against the current and protecting one's life wisely are two completely different ways of dealing with the world. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, and it is impossible to compare which is better."

Xing Xiangzi was slightly moved when he saw Ying Xuan's sincere eyes. Few people have comforted him like this. The last one was Shang Jun more than 100 years ago.

"Living in the rivers and lakes, I have no place to settle down, so I traveled all the way west and met Lord Shang of Qin State. He was the one who saw my extraordinary abilities and recommended me to Duke Xiao. I also became the protector of the Qin State. It took one step to get to today.”

"It's been more than 100 years in a blink of an eye. Now I am old and can no longer accompany the empire to continue walking. I already feel tired, and the sundial that belongs to my life has already set."

Xing Xiangzi laughed at himself, and said sadly: "After so many years, even though I have become a strong man who has stepped into the extreme of heaven and man, I am still so afraid of death. It makes you laugh."

"There is no one who is not afraid of death. Human beings are mortal, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Seniors have guarded the Qin State for a hundred years. Although you will not be famous in history after your death, your deeds will definitely be passed down by the town envoys."

Ying Xuan didn't mean to underestimate Xing Xiangzi, but felt that Xing Xiangzi was upright and unpretentious.

Xingxiangzi walked to the bottom of the big Zhoutian astrolabe, raised his head, looked at the big Zhoutian astrolabe, took away the color of obsession in his eyes, and sighed: "The big Zhoutian astrolabe, people who are not proficient in divination, can't see the hexagrams clearly , unless one has the ability to deduce, one cannot clearly discern what it refers to.”

"This old man has been in Qin Dynasty for more than 100 years. Sixty years ago, I had the intention of accepting my disciples, intending to pass on my mantle. However, in the past 60 years, I have found countless geniuses, but none of them can activate the Great Zhou celestial disk."

Xing Xiangzi said: "Then after I die, who will investigate the good and bad fortune for us Qin people, and plan ahead?"

Xingxiangzi opened his arms and urged the big Zhoutian astrolabe, the astrolabe rotated, and the abnormal changes of heaven and earth were all contained in the astrolabe.

Xing Xiangzi's voice was full of temptation, "Yingxuan, you are a born wise man. It is really a waste of your wisdom to use your wisdom in intrigues above the court. Come to Zhenyu Division, this is your world."

"Become the master of the Great Zhou celestial disk, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages for the empire. Isn't it your goal to become the man who protects the empire?"

Ying Xuan's face was slightly moved, but finally rejected Xing Xiangzi's request.

"I am Marquis Wu of the Empire. The way I serve the Empire is to count troops on the battlefield, not to predict disasters and good fortunes here." Ying Xuan said: "Maybe one day, when I am tired, I may stay here .”

Xing Xiangzi shook his head and said, "In that case, I won't force you."

"When you find your disciple that day, remember to let me know, and I will personally come to congratulate you."

…………

In the 24th year of the first emperor's calendar, in spring, the Qin State at this time is destined to not be too peaceful.

In February, Fu Nian, a Confucianist, served in the Qin Dynasty and was trusted by the First Emperor Yingzheng. He served as the governor of the four counties and practiced benevolent government.

No matter how famous Confucianism is for hundreds of years, it still cannot change the fact that it is not valued by the kings of the Seven Kingdoms.

Mr. Fu Nian's official career in Qin Dynasty opened the beginning of Confucian scholars governing the world. Confucian scholars all over the world entered Qidi, but they had not had time to obtain official positions in Qidi.

"The six kings are complete, the four seas are one, the magnificent world, the emphasis is on enlightenment, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, there is no distinction in teaching, and it has won my heart."

"I want to set a precedent in the world, build an academy in Kyushu, and spread culture. I sincerely invite people of insight from all over the world to come to Xianyang together to discuss major issues and perform unprecedented feats."

"Mr. Xun Kuang has already entered Xianyang, and may be the head of the courtyard."

This is an announcement made by Ying Xuan in the name of Ying Zheng after careful consideration, in order to confuse the hearts of scholars all over the world.

Yingxuan describes a thing that can make people's blood boil, especially Confucian disciples.

Compared with the attitude of the empire towards the Mohists and peasants, the Confucianism has a lot of love and reliance.

"A family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be a king for a day. Today, the son Fusu is honest and loving, self-denying and law-abiding, and the people's will. I am very comforted, so I make the son Fusu the king of Qin."

This is Ying Zheng's meaning. Confucian scholars all over the world may not have a good opinion of Ying Zheng, but they still favor Young Master Fusu. If Young Master Fu Su can inherit the throne of King Qin, these Confucian scholars will probably be the happiest.

The two messages were conveyed to the counties and counties of the Qin State in no particular order, which naturally made those scholars think.

Looking at it now, Yingzheng is determined to support Confucianism. Although some of them are not from farming families, they can still be reused by the empire after studying, so they can't help but want to give it a try.

In Qidi, Confucian disciples gathered together to discuss these two pieces of news, and then began to express their opinions.

"Everyone, although Mr. Fu Nian governs the four counties, the appointment of court officials is not decided by Mr. Fu Nian alone." A Confucian scholar said: "Although Mr. Fu Nian will select some talents from us, the number is limited after all. , and there are so many Confucian scholars in the world?"

"That's true. From my point of view, His Majesty the First Emperor treats our Confucianism very well. Why don't we go to Xianyang to participate in the academy. In this way, not only will Fu Nian not be embarrassed, but also Confucianism can be carried forward." Someone suggested.

"Go together, go together!"

At the same time, the aristocratic families also secretly gathered together to discuss the affairs of the academy.

"Your Majesty respects Confucianism? Just kidding, what kind of person is Your Majesty, how can the Confucian family dominate?" A patriarch of a family said disdainfully: "It is only the group of Confucian scholars who believe such nonsense."

"Once the academy is established, the humble family is bound to rise, which may not be a good thing for our family." Someone said after thinking for a while.

"You don't have to worry, you need to be hardworking yourself. The academy is just giving the humble family a chance. Is the accumulation of our family's hundreds of years not as good as an academy?"

A patriarch comforted everyone and said: "Besides, according to reliable sources, when the academy is established, His Majesty will select people from the aristocratic families to act as the administrators of the academy. Although they are not imperial officials, they will enjoy the same treatment as imperial officials."

"Oh, so we still have a place in the academy?" Someone asked in surprise.

"It's more than just a seat. I heard that the Confucian Xun Kuang and the Taoist Tianzong Bei Mingzi have already been established as the head of the courtyard. Their status is as high as that of the left and right prime ministers. In a short time, the disciples of these two people may be more important than Kong Zhong. There are many more, and I will definitely become famous in the world in the future."

“How come you see?”

"Inside information from the Great Qin Royal Chamber of Commerce, our Nanyang Zheng family is one of the internal shareholders." Someone said proudly.

"Disrespect, disrespect!" Someone complimented immediately.

While people's hearts are floating, there are already countless people who have set off and are on the way to Xianyang. Scholars from all over the world have entered Xianyang.
