Zongwu: I, the strongest alchemist, the auction of the heavens

Chapter 95: Fusu Awakens
[Lin Pingzhi]: Then if we follow Senior Chu’s explanation!

[Lin Pingzhi]: It means that now that we are here, we should make the best of it. Doesn't it mean that since we are here, we should just stay here safely?

[Chu Beixuan]: Since you have come here, let's bury you here.

[Lin Pingzhi]: In this way, many things in the Analects can be explained!

[Chu Beixuan]: Okay, let’s stop here.

[Chu Beixuan]: What I am saying is that Confucius’ Confucianism and the Confucianism you are exposed to now are actually not the same thing.

[Chu Beixuan]: Confucius traveled around the countries and took his disciples on journeys of thousands of miles, but they were able to live in peace. Why was that?
[Fusu]: Fusu doesn’t know, please enlighten me, sir.

[Chu Beixuan]: Because he also knows a truth. If you want others to listen to you, you must have strong martial arts skills to support it.

[Chu Beixuan]: Otherwise, given Zilu's martial character, if Confucius really relied on just his words, he probably wouldn't be able to convince the other party at all.

[Lin Pingzhi]: ...Is it true that he wasn't defeated by beating?

【Wan Wan】: Xiao Linzi, let's listen to what the abbot says first~

[Chu Beixuan]: Confucius knew this truth, so how could he insist that future generations only pursue benevolent governance?

[Chu Beixuan]: What’s more, the words benevolence and virtue always need to be considered in terms of where they are used.

[Chu Beixuan]: You think that releasing the nobles of the six countries is a benevolent policy, but have you ever thought about what will happen next?

[Fusu]: Naturally, we should let these nobles go back to lead somewhere, and let them educate the people of the six countries on behalf of our father, and completely integrate them into our Great Qin.

Fusu had naturally thought about this problem a long time ago.

When the nobles of the six kingdoms first entered Xianyang.

Many of the officials in the Eastern Palace mentioned this matter.

So when facing Chu Beixuan this time, he did not hide anything.

[Chu Beixuan]: What if they go back, gather troops and cause chaos again?
[Fusu]: This... Fusu has never thought about it. They are blessed by heaven and should be grateful...

[Chu Beixuan]: These words should have been told to you by your Confucian teachers.

After this sentence appeared, there was no further news in the group for a long time.

The other group members were enjoying the show at this time and did not send any more messages.

It was not until a long time later that news about Fusu popped up again.

[Fusu]: Perhaps, I really thought too simply.

……

Beixuan Yaju.

Chu Beixuan met the news of Fusu.

Finally I breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Fusu finally got it."

He said as much.

In fact, he just wanted Fusu to calm down and think.

"It's not good to be brainwashed by those corrupt scholars every day and only see their endless talk of benevolence, righteousness and morality."

"We have to look at the ugly faces they hide underneath."

"It seems that this medicine can be more powerful."

Even if he couldn't wake up completely, he couldn't continue with his previous thoughts.

Just do it.

Chu Beixuan took a sip of tea and opened the chat group to continue.

……

[Chu Beixuan]: No wonder you think it’s simple.

[Chu Beixuan]: Today’s Confucianism is indeed very intimidating just by listening to it.

[Chu Beixuan]: Whether it is benevolence or virtue, in their words, those in high positions should be like this, regardless of the actual situation.

[Chu Beixuan]: But in fact, they do all this just for their own reputation.

[Chu Beixuan]: Do you think that even if your request is successful, the nobles of the six countries will think you are benevolent?
[Chu Beixuan]: In fact, they will only despise you for being a Qin person, and be grateful to those Confucian scholars who have worked for them.

[Chu Beixuan]: As for those Confucian scholars.

[Chu Beixuan]: Oh, believe it or not, if you lose power, most of them will immediately defect to others and say that you are useless.

[Chu Beixuan]: What they are best at is talking about morality and justice, but secretly being thieves and prostitutes.

[Chu Beixuan]: So, you can think about it, regarding the matter of releasing the nobles of the six countries, is it you who want to release them, or is there someone who wants to release them?

……

Great Qin.

As Chu Beixuan's last word fell.

Fusu's face turned completely pale. "Who on earth wants to..."

He murmured, as if he wanted to crush these words completely.

Fusu felt that he should tell Chu Beixuan firmly.

It was he who wanted to release the nobles of the six nations.

But no matter what, I couldn't say it.

Fusu was in a trance, but the previous scene came to his mind.

at that time.

His former gentlemen, now his subjects, have just proposed that the nobles of the six nations should be released.

He also asked at the time: "But if they go back and start another war, won't it make the people suffer even more?"

But they swore solemnly: "Your Highness is kind and benevolent, and this is God's grace. After what happened, they will definitely be grateful to Your Highness and the Qin Dynasty, so how could they rebel again?"

"Your Highness is the king, and they are just traitors. If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Your Highness, why should you worry?"

"Confucius used benevolence to influence Zilu, so Your Highness can naturally influence them with benevolence..."

Benevolence and virtue.

I've heard these two words too much.

He actually forgot his initial worries.

And now it is brought up again.

Even the fig leaf of the Confucian group was torn apart by Chu Beixuan.

Fusu suddenly discovered.

He was so wrong.

He felt that the Legalists were too harsh, and that was why the people were suffering and unable to make a living.

But he just practiced benevolence.

So why not?

Maybe.

His benevolence should be given to the people.

Rather, it is a traitor...

Fusu figured it out.

Suddenly I felt relaxed all over.

All the boredom of recent days was swept away.

……

[Fusu]: Thank you Mr. Chu for clearing up my confusion. Fusu now understands it.

[Chu Beixuan]: Just think it through.

【Li Chengqian】: Congratulations.

Li Chengqian watched almost the entire scene.

Naturally, he couldn't say anything about the affairs of the Qin Dynasty.

But he still felt extremely fortunate that Fusu was able to figure it out.

I have already witnessed Chu Beixuan's magical powers.

Li Chengqian naturally had a better impression of the people in the group.

after all.

Since the Legalists can come here.

There will certainly be deeper cooperation in the future.

Having one more friend is naturally better than having one more enemy.

At this time, other people also bubbled up again.

[Lin Pingzhi]: Phew! I can finally speak!
[Lin Pingzhi]: Senior Chu, is it true that the Analects of Confucius is not a collection of words?

[Chu Beixuan]: This is just a joke, but the part about Confucius is indeed true.

[Chu Beixuan]: The sword Confucius carried was named Virtue. To conquer others with virtue actually means to use virtue as a weapon to persuade the other party.

[Chu Beixuan]: Even Confucius knew that benevolence is based on military force, but Confucian scholars only talk about benevolence and do not mention the foundation of military force.

[Chu Beixuan]: How is this different from being a hooligan?
【朱无视】：I see.

[Zhu Wushi]: I used to think that what they said was unpleasant to the ear, but after listening to what Mr. Chu said today, I finally understood the reason.
