The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 87 Taoist Sect (Seeking Follow-up Reading) nd Update

Learned martial arts and brought goods to the emperor's family.

The purpose of having a good reputation in the underworld is to sell at a good price! It does not mean that you really like to live in the open air, wander around, and live in fear of your future.

No matter how good your status in the underworld is, it is not as good as being a noble. That is a real dignitary, bringing honor to the family, and the fortunes can be passed down from generation to generation, bringing endless blessings to descendants.

This is also the reason why Luowang can only rely on Daqin. A group of guys who do not produce and do not understand politics can only be organized by force with the help of a strong country. If there is no support from Daqin, they will all scatter the next day. Although many Luowang people die while performing their tasks, the rewards for completing the tasks and the funds allocated by Daqin every year are not stones, but boxes of gold.

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng had to kneel down at the mere mention of Yan Ri.

This is why even the most unruly people in the martial arts world can avoid meeting the monarch, but when they meet the monarch, they must kneel down respectfully.

Of course, everyone can do what they want, but they must also bear all the corresponding consequences.

You can enter the system, but few people from the underworld want to be underworld people. To put it bluntly, isn’t a knight just a gangster?
Who wants to live in fear of death? Who wants to fight with blood on the edge of a knife all day long?

It's just that the class stratification in this era is so serious that there is no window, let alone a way out. There is only a small crack, and there is no chance to get in. All kinds of titles in the underworld are just to gild themselves. If there is a real chance to enter the court, everyone will fight for it.

There are many schools of thought, but only the truly major ones and the children of aristocrats can enter officialdom.

And among the true top sects of the Hundred Schools of Thought, you wouldn't think you could get in without a distinguished background, right?
What kind of person was Gongsun Longzi? He came from the Mohist school and was a famous figure, but he was just a retainer of Lord Pingyuan.

Xunzi was even more powerful, but so what? He was just a small magistrate of Lanling County.

What is a county magistrate? Allowing you to say a few more words in front of the Crown Prince of Qin is a great favor.

That is the name of Xunzi. He was able to meet the prince and have an audience with him. If an ordinary county magistrate wanted to meet the prince, how great a contribution you had made would you have to make? Are you worthy of it?

Only these top figures from the Hundred Families can be valued by the royal family without any background. If you count carefully, how many of these people are there? The world is so big, there are only a few dozen people.

As for the others, what chance do they have?
A gentleman will die for his friend, and this is precisely because of the absolute class stratification. When the superior is willing to give you a chance and open a door, you must repay it with your life.

The opportunity given is not only for one's own wealth and glory, but also an opportunity for generations to come. This circle is too difficult to enter. Even if you die after entering, at least your descendants will have a chance.

So what if he is the hero of a peasant family? He is just a mud-legged peasant.

Let’s talk about Taoism.

The Tian Sect and the Ren Sect have always been at odds with each other, split into two quarrelsome factions, but they are famous and upright sects after all, and they are family after all, so they won't fight to the death. At most, they will just fight behind closed doors and get bloodied.

Tianzong Chisongzi has been very proud recently!
Not only himself, but the entire Tianzong was proud.

You people in the Human Sect keep shouting about joining the secular world, but in the end, you are all just gangsters.

Look at our Tianzong. With just a little effort, he can become a master. Chisongzi is already secured as the next leader of Tianzong. Bei Mingzi even wrote a letter to congratulate him and implicitly tested whether he could help him publish a book.

Taoism is a prominent school in the world, with a long history and strong strength. Even if it splits into Tianzong and Renzong, and separates into Yinyang School, any one of them is still the top school in the world. As long as Mingzhezi, the head of Renzong, wants to see Ying Zheng, there is always a way to see him, but Renzong is not someone who does not understand the ways of the world. Today, Tianzong and Ying Zheng are extremely firmly bound, and it is definitely impossible to bypass Tianzong.

There is no other way. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Let Tianzong be proud. Anyway, this group of people have always been arrogant and easy to fool. If you praise them more and make them surrender, they should give you some face. After all, we are a family, right?

Strange, why is it so hard to fool him this time? I came to his house several times to ask for a meeting, and he met me every time, but he just avoided the topic. I wanted Chisongzi to introduce me to someone, but he didn't respond. No, why are you always looking at my Qiuli Sword?

Okay, okay, so that's how it is. You have taken a fancy to my Qiuli Sword. Fine, I accept it. This time, as long as you lead my Ren Sect, I will give you this Qiuli Sword as a gift on the day you take over as the leader.

When making this promise, Mingzhezi's heart was bleeding.

Xue Ji is the token of the Taoist leader. The Tian and Ren sects agreed to compete every five years, and the winner can take control of Xue Ji. In terms of martial arts, the Tian sect has always been stronger than the Ren sect, with more wins than losses, but it can be said that there are some gains and losses. However, Mingzhezi's generation is miserable. He hasn't touched Xue Ji in twenty years. Bei Mingzi is undoubtedly the most powerful person in Taoism.

However, for a dignified Taoist sect, one famous sword was not enough. It was under this circumstance that Mingzhezi exhausted all his energy and went through a lot of trouble to finally obtain a new famous sword. In terms of power alone, this sword is even better than Xue Ji.

It is a wild horse, it is dust, it is the breath of living things blowing each other. This sword contains the ultimate truth of Taoism and contains endless vitality. It is indeed a peerless treasure. Mingzhezi has always cherished it very much and never leaves it.

Mingzhezi comforted himself that it was all worth it, worth it.

The fame of an instrument cannot compare to the fame of a person who will last for thousands of years. Both are worthy.

My heart hurts so much.

Qiuli, my Qiuli.

Chisongzi's action was not really selfish, it was for the Tian Sect. The Ren Sect now had a world-famous sword, so if Xue Ji was also controlled by the Ren Sect, the Ren Sect would have two famous swords, while the Tian Sect did not have any, and it would be disgraceful if this were to get out.

As for the fact that Tianzong has two famous swords, that is natural, because Tianzong is the orthodox Taoism!

Today, Chisongzi no longer has the indifference and arrogance he had before when facing Ying Zheng. He is fully aware of his status as a subject and is extremely respectful.

When Chisongzi brought Mingzhezi to visit Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was very enthusiastic and did not put on airs. Not only did he readily agree to the request to publish a book and a biography, he also invited Mingzhezi to be a doctor of the Qin Dynasty and plan a new Qin and national policy together with Lu Buwei, Zhongcang and others. Mingzhezi was overjoyed and readily agreed.

Chisongzi had nothing to disagree with. The Tianzong was not very good at court struggles, and the Taoist forces in the Qin court were not strong nowadays. It would not be bad to have a helper. Anyway, in Qin, the Renzong had to rely on the Tianzong.

Also, look at this Qiuli sword, it’s so beautiful.

After being busy for several days in a row, in addition to the masters from several major families, I also met people from many schools, and even independent people in the martial arts world. In such a big world, there are always a few self-taught people who are willing to work for me and give them good treatment. These are all my team.

Some famous scholars also came to Xianyang, but it was a pity that the leader of the famous scholars, Gongsun Longzi, passed away last year. The only one who came was his son, who is now just an unknown person. His personal talent is far inferior to that of his father. After chatting with him for a while, Ying Zheng lost interest. He did not learn much from Gongsun Longzi's reputation, but he learned about 80% to 90% of sophistry, which is of no use. Even if he could cooperate with the Legalists in compiling laws, his choice of words and sentences are not qualified.

He came to Qin State to publish a book for his father, but was declined by Ying Zheng. These sophistry will only make people cunning. Deeper things are difficult to learn and meaningless. Can deep things compare with Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism?
Taking this opportunity, Ying Zheng also added a lot of talents to the Crown Prince's Guard. Ying Zheng often met and talked with the people of the Guard in person, cared for them and treated them as well as possible. These were all his confidants, and his relationship and loyalty had to be well cultivated.
