Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 358

After everyone left, Changsun Wuji knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please punish the crime of deception!"

Wang Mang glanced at his elder grandson Wuji, and said directly: "Wuji, do you think I care about these things? The reason why I came to you is to see how well this generation of Legalist disciples who served in Daqin are doing well."

"Don't worry about this, Your Majesty. Wang Dun is the most outstanding disciple of the New Legalist School. The Seven Heroes Outside the Great Wall are slightly less famous, but they are also powerful figures who can fight well." Changsun Wuji said: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't spend such a fortune. It cost a lot to get them to Chang'an."

"I said how there were so many outstanding scholars who came to take the scholar's examination at that time. It turned out that at that time, your various schools had already started to deploy in Daqin." Wang Mang laughed and said: "It's just that I really want to know , What do Legalists think of me?"

Wang Mang left his eldest grandson Wuji because of this problem. To a certain extent, he has already had a grudge with Jixia Academy, and the relationship with Bailu Academy is not good. Having grudges with these two means that Wang Mang has already settled down with him. The most powerful Confucian sect in the world had a grudge. If the two families joined forces to suppress Daqin, after seeing the strength of Qi Yunshan and others, Wang Mang knew very well that Daqin today would not be able to resist the casual attacks of these two families.

Therefore, Wang Mang urgently needs allies. The Legalists who are now famous in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall are the first ones Wang Mang wants to win over. Wang Mang really wants to know how the Legalists view him.

Although Legalism has been suppressed by Confucianism for thousands of years, and it has also been targeted by various factions, but as a school of superstition and learning of emperors, Legalism has a strong hidden power, otherwise there would not be such geniuses as Changsun Wuji and Shang Yang , even this kind of genius appeared in the court of Daqin openly, but no one cared about it.

Changsun Wuji was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to answer Wang Mang's question, because he didn't know much about this matter.

Wang Mang looked at Changsun Wuji, and said again: "No matter what your attitude is, it doesn't matter what you say."

"Your Majesty also heard just now that the Legalists are now divided into traditional Legalists and new Legalists. Shang Yang and I are both New Legalists, and Wang Dun and the others are also New Legalists." Changsun Wuji said.

"You mean that the new legalists have a good view of me, while the traditional legalists hold the opposite view." Wang Mang said.

"That's not the case." Changsun Wuji said: "Actually, not all the New Legalists have a favorable view of His Majesty."

"How to say?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed.

"Legalism, thousands of years ago, was the highest school that could compete with Confucianism in the world. More than half of the other schools depended on Legalism and Confucianism, and existed as a vassal of the two. Only some weaker schools could survive independently. "Changsun Wuji said: "However, during the Millennium Jihad, because most of the power of the Legalists depended on the court, these forces were almost consumed after the start of the Jihad, along with the national war. After that, Legalism completely lagged behind Confucianism, and even schools such as Yinyang School and Farm School climbed to the top of Legalism. At that time, Legalism really struggled to survive.”

"Since the Legalists live in the court and are closely related to the court, if the Legalists are in trouble now, the courts of all countries should help the Legalists." Wang Mang said doubtfully.

"No." Changsun Wuji smiled wryly, and said, "For the court, there are only two things in this world, useful and useless. After the Millennium Jihad, the economies of all countries are in decline and people's livelihood is difficult. It was precisely the thing that was least needed at that time, and even hindered the recovery of the economy and people's livelihood in various countries, so Legalism was kicked out without hesitation. Because they were the schools most needed by the courts of all countries at that time."

After a pause, Changsun Wuji said again: "So, it was difficult for the Legal School at that time, and more than half of the Legal School's disciples dispersed, hiding their proud Legalist identity and mixing with those low-ranking low-level students who were not able to get on the stage. Together."

Looking at Wang Mang, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "And I am the descendant of the disciples of the Legalists who dispersed back then. I say I am a disciple of the Legalists, but I am different from the traditional disciples of the Legalists. In the eyes of the traditional Legalists, we They are a group of traitors in the name of Legalism, I think, if I say this, His Majesty should understand how traditional Legalists view His Majesty."

Uh……

Wang Mang looked at Changsun Wuji with an ugly expression. He didn't know that the Legalists still had such a complicated love-hate relationship. They got geniuses like Changsun Wuji and Shang Yang successively. Wang Mang thought he had picked up a treasure. These guys, but to some extent directly offended the traditional legalists.

The traditional legalists and the new legalists knew that the two were at odds just by hearing the names, but Wang Mang knew that the two were at odds when he heard the origins of the two.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Mang said, "What do the new legalists think of me?"

"Your Majesty, the new legal school was slowly established by the scattered legal school disciples. After leaving the school, the predecessors of the new legal school went around to survive, almost all over the mainland, so there are new legal school disciples in every country in the mainland." Changsun Wu Ji said: "What I can say is that my disciples of the new Legalists in Daqin will be loyal to His Majesty's feet and expand the territory for His Majesty, but the disciples of Legalists from other countries will also be loyal to their monarchs."

Uh……

Wang Mang was stunned again, and after a long time, he didn't get anything. Changsun Wuji, the disciples of the new legalists in Daqin, were originally his own people, so he was happy for a long time.

Changsun Wuji naturally knew what Wang Mang was thinking at the moment, and said, "Your Majesty, don't feel that there is any disadvantage. To a certain extent, there are very few Legalist disciples in all countries who are directly loyal to His Majesty like us. Like Chu State and Qi State, the Confucianism in the two countries is very powerful, and there is almost no legal school in the first place. The disciples of the two countries are almost scattered among the people. In other countries, due to various reasons, there are not many legalist disciples who are loyal. From this perspective Look, the relationship between my Daqin Legalist disciples and the imperial court is the most harmonious, thanks to His Majesty recruiting talented people, wise and powerful."

"You don't need to put a high hat on me, I just need to know what is the ultimate goal of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy?" Wang Mang said: "I know they want to pass on education, but in the barren land of Great Qin, for thousands of years, they I never spread theories in Daqin, but now I come here to spread something."

Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, and said, "Does Your Majesty know about Guiguzi?"

Guiguzi?
Wang Mang looked stunned for a moment, this is an extraordinary person, he is a first-class saint in the world, even legend has it that he is even more powerful than a saint, how could he not know.

"Guiguzi is alive?" Wang Mang looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise.
"There is no present world, but it is more terrifying than the present world." Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "Three months ago, a stone tablet was dropped from the sky in Guigu, and someone saw the words on the stone tablet that the mainland was about to be unified. The alliance took it away, but the news spread completely."
