Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 961 The Beginning of Fengchan

Among hundreds of schools of thought, when it comes to the ability to fight within oneself, Confucianism ranks second, but who dares to say it ranks first?

The Taoists who split into two sects, Heaven and Man, and even split into a mortal enemy, the Yin-Yang Sect, couldn't compare.

Even if you don’t count the Confucian scholars in other places in the world, the land of Qilu alone will be roughly divided into Qi Confucianism and Lu Confucianism - the orthodox Confucianism is in Qufu, the Lu country can be destroyed, but the Lu Confucianism cannot be destroyed.

Haha, the above sentence is a joke.

However, Qilu is the place where Confucianism has the strongest influence, and it is also where Confucian scholars from all walks of life express their opinions and argue endlessly.

Many times, even the Confucian holy land Xiaoshengxianzhuang has to retreat and turn a deaf ear to the complicated Confucian internal strife.

From ancient times to the present, there has not been a well-known fixed process for granting Zen status. These Confucian scholars naturally hope that Ying Zheng will do it exactly according to their own wishes, and internal fighting is natural.

Gu Xun looked at Fusu and continued, "Although the process has not been finalized yet, as the eldest son, you will definitely not be absent from the ceremony, so the edict calling you back to the capital will be sent soon."

After listening to Gu Xun's words, Fusu lowered his eyes and murmured softly, "Feng Chan...is he finally going back to Xianyang?"

Over the years, Fusu has thought about a question more than once, and that is whether Ying Zheng cares about his son.

Speaking of which, he was sent to the Northland, but Yingzheng almost handed over most of the power in the counties in the Northland to him, and did not let him really come here to be an empty son. In addition to eating every day, I can't do anything while sleeping.

But having said that, it is actually meaningless for a young master who has left the center of power in the court, no matter how powerful he is in the local area.

As long as the central court writes a letter, Fusu will no longer command any officials in Fusu County - his power is given by the emperor, and he can give it with a word, and naturally he can take it away with a word.

This can also be intuitively felt from the viewpoints of the ministers in the DPRK - the vast majority of ministers do not care how well Fusu governs the North. They only care about when the father-son relationship between Yingzheng and Fusu can be eased and close. Was recalled to the capital.

They supported Fusu because Fusu's background was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince legally and rationally. As for his achievements in governing a party, he could barely count as a small bonus at most.

Fusu himself is also aware of his situation, so he worries about gains and losses from time to time.

He doesn't ask for the throne, but...who child would want his father to not care about him at all?

"What, are you starting to feel shy about being close to home now?" Gu Xun teased him upon seeing this, trying to ease his student's complicated mood.

Fusu smiled reluctantly, "I have been away from the capital for many years, and suddenly I have to go back. I am really a little... at a loss."

Han Fei took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Drink a few more glasses and your mood will calm down."

"Ha..." Fusu couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw Han Fei's alcoholic attitude as always, "Sir, his mentality is always so free and easy, Fusu is not as good as him."

At this time, Gu Xun gave Han Fei a rare voice and said, "I think you can have a few more drinks now. After you return to the capital, you will have to live a relatively peaceful life."

Fusu understood what the teacher meant and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He is a strong candidate for the crown prince, but he is not the crown prince after all. There are a bunch of candidates waiting to completely pull him down first.

He has been in the Northland for these years, and with the double protection of Liusha and Mengtian, no one's dirty tricks can harm him, but the situation is different when he returns to Xianyang.

As the eldest brother, Fusu felt uncomfortable in every possible way when he thought that he might soon turn against the brothers he had hugged when he was a child.

I really don’t know what to say. Han Fei knew that Fusu was not feeling well at this time, but he still planned to follow Gu Xun's words.

Fusu had to face this fact. In fact, he had been preparing for this in his heart over the years, but he couldn't completely look away from it before actually facing it.

"Luo Wang has been trying to reach into Shangjun over the years, and his target is most likely Mr. Fusu."

"This time when we return to the capital, the leader of Luo Wang, Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"Zhao Gao..." When Fusu heard this name, what came to his mind was a young man born with strange eyes and gorgeous clothes.

That was his youngest brother, Hu Hai, the eighteenth prince of the empire, who was also a student of Zhao Gao, the magistrate of CRRC.

Just as Fusu, who is a student of Guxun, can receive the full support of Liusha, Hu Hai also naturally receives the full support of Luowang.

After hearing Han Fei's words, Gu Xun grinned and said, "In the past few years, Zhao Gao has been waiting for Fusu to return."

"But..." Gu Xun had a smile on his lips, but his tone turned cold, "He doesn't plan to let Fusu go, and I don't plan to let him go anymore."

"Hey!" Han Fei whistled and said with a smile, "Are you finally planning to take action against the snare?"

Gu Xun shook his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's more than just that."

"But this will still take time, so before Zhao Gao officially calls his curtain, Fusu, please try to pay more attention to yourself."

"Of course, what I mean is...just pay attention to safety, and it doesn't matter anything else. Maybe you can use your tricks to gain strength."

Over the years, Gu Xun has not done anything to inhibit the development of Luowang, and even indulged Zhao Gao intentionally or unintentionally, just for now.

Raising pigs for a thousand days, eating meat for a while, now is the time to eat meat.

Even Fusu probably knew what his teacher was thinking, "Teacher, are you ready to use the net to attack the Jianghu forces?"

"To be precise, I am mainly targeting the various schools of thought." Gu Xun pointed out the right way, "Those ordinary Jianghu sects are not important, what is important are those who have both force and ideas, and are often not unified internally and externally. Philosophers."

Gu Xun did not support the feudal dynasty's always-favored policy of confining ideas and obscuring the people. Although this strategy did play a great role in maintaining the stability of the dynasty, but... he was not a ruler and had no obligation to think from the perspective of a feudal ruler. question.

However, the situation in which a hundred schools of thought contended during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was indeed not suitable for a centralized unified dynasty.

In fact, a highly unified country would have led hundreds of competing schools of thought to converge, or converge within a large framework, similar to Lu Buwei's proplusmax version of miscellaneous schools of thought.

But there was another highly unstable factor in the Qin Dynasty world, and that was martial arts.

If you want Mohist doctrine to be integrated into other doctrines, you will be done with it if you see whether the Mohist giant's eyebrow sword can be sharpened or not.

If these masters from various schools of thought are not brought into harm's way, this integration will not proceed.

Of course, Gu Xun had no intention of destroying the martial arts world.

Things like martial arts still need to be passed down, but it is best to be separated from court politics and no longer be so closely attached.
