Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "The mansion has been repaired and cleaned, Lord Shangqing, please rest, Zhao Gao will return to his mission."

"Thank you."

……

After Zhao Gao left, Dong Jun got out of the carriage, looked around, and said in a low voice, "There are many people hiding around."

"Understandable!"

Gao Jing said indifferently: "The news of my return to Xianyang must have spread, and the King of Qin also gave me the mansion of Lord Wu'an, who doesn't want to know what kind of thoughts are in it?

Sending out spies is inevitable, don't bother!Let's go, let's go in. "

With that said, Gao Jing stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Someone in the mansion opened the door, took a look at Gao Jing, and saluted respectfully: "Sheng has met the master."

"Your name is Sheng?"

Gao Jing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Please help me settle down these soldiers, will you?"

Sheng was a little panicked, but he still said calmly: "This is what a villain should do."

"Thank you."

Gao Jingjing nodded and led Dongjun into the mansion.

As the gate closed, the spies around gradually dispersed.

……

After Dongjun sent Gao Jing into the mansion, he left, and she also wanted to go back to Yinyang's house.

Gao Jing looked all the way, and when he came to the main hall, he was suddenly stunned.

The old man with white beard and hair, but hale and hale, with peaceful eyes and elegant demeanor, was sitting on his knees in the main hall, looking at him with a smile.

Gao Jing's lips trembled a little, and after a while he finally calmed down and said with a smile, "Senior brother!"

This surprise is a bit big... That person is Master Xun!

Master Xun once wrote to tell Gao Jing that he would personally confer the crown on him. Gao Jing planned to go to Xiaoshengxian Village to invite him in person, but Master Xun had already arrived.

Xunzi said with a smile, "My brother's "concentration" is not deep enough!"

Gao Jing laughed, walked over and said, "I pride myself on being calm, but I didn't expect to see my senior brother suddenly. I was so surprised that I lost my mind and lost my temper."

As he spoke, he formally saluted and said, "Gao Jing, I've met senior brother!"

Xunzi stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Sit."

Gao Jing knelt down and sat opposite him: "When did senior brother arrive?"

Xunzi said: "I just arrived yesterday, and I took a trip to South Korea on the way, my brother did a good job!"

Gao Jing complained: "Senior brother went to Korea, why didn't you tell me? Those guys from the arrest department should be punished!"

Xunzi laughed and said, "It's me who didn't let them find out, so of course they can't find me!"

Therefore, few people know whether Xunzi knows martial arts or not.

It's as if many people are not sure whether Gao Jing knows martial arts or not.

Gao Jing suddenly remembered something, got up and shouted at the door: "Win! Win!"

Sheng who opened the door for Gao Jing trotted over: "Master?"

"The bamboo slips on my carriage, you arrange someone to deliver them."

"Yes, Master."

After Sheng left, Gao Jing said: "I have been in power in South Korea for two years, and I have recorded all my experiences. Senior brother, can you help me see?"

At this time, Gao Jing is like a child who has made achievements, eager to be recognized by adults.

Xunzi said with a smile, "The people in South Korea live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood is prosperous. It can be regarded as a paradise in the world. You have surpassed me in this respect. It is that among the nobles, there are more luxury and more conflicts between spirits."

Gao Jing proudly said: "That was my plan, brother, let me tell you..."

Facing Xunzi, Gao Jing told all his plans without any concealment.

Including how to make the Korean dignitaries support their reform...

How to hold King Han in the air so that he doesn't know it...

How to provoke a battle among the powerful...

Xunzi listened silently, his eyes full of approval.

After the bamboo slips were delivered, Gao Jing couldn't wait to open them again, explaining his governance philosophy one by one.

He kept talking until late at night, seeing that Xunzi's energy was low, so Gao Jing gave up.

In this world, Xunzi is the only one who can make him feel so humiliated!

Supporting Xunzi, (Li Liaohao) waited on him to rest himself, and then Gao Jing returned to the main hall and rearranged the scattered bamboo slips.

Then light the oil lamp, write down some places that Xunzi pointed out just now, and compare them with each other.

……

Early the next morning, Gao Jing called Sheng and said, "Send these bamboo slips to the king's office."

Let a servant give something to the king of a country?It sounds like a fantasy.

But Gao Jing didn't ask Sheng if he could do it, but directly affirmed the order.

Sheng hesitated for a moment, and seeing Gao Jing's firm expression, he said, "Here!"

Sure enough, from the moment he opened the door, Gao Jing's identity was confirmed just by looking at Gao Jing. Gao Jing knew that this Sheng was not an ordinary person.

After Sheng left, Gao Jing went to the kitchen to give instructions.

After the time is almost up, go to serve Xunzi and get up.

Chapter 130 Eight Wei Liao

After serving Xunzi for breakfast, Gao Jing originally planned to go out with Xunzi for a stroll around Xianyang.

Just had a visitor and had to cancel.

Looking at the old man who was about the same age as Xunzi, but with a rosy complexion like a baby, Gao Jing couldn't laugh or cry.

This is clearly the He Guanzi of the Taoist family, the former head of the Renzong who has long been dead in the hearts of all schools of thought.

"This teasing is alluring." Xunzi said a few words in a nonchalant way.

But Gao Jing understood, held back his laughter, and saluted, "Confucian Gao Jing, I have met Lord Lieutenant."

Guo Weiliao... really is He Guanzi!

As if he really didn't know Gao Jing, Wei Liao looked at Gao Jing pretendingly, and praised: "It really is the style of a gentleman, with both ability and virtue!"

Gao Jing saluted: "Guo Wei has won the prize!"

Is this to say hello in advance, so that Gao Jing will not reveal his identity?

It can only be said that the Taoist clan really knows how to play!

……

Travel plans are broken.

Xunzi and Wei Liao returned to the main hall, although Gao Jing was of the same generation as them, he still served them as a junior.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.

Because the two spoke a few words, they choked up.

Both of them are Taoist and Confucian sages. Of course, they don't abuse each other like ordinary people, but discuss academics and the best principles of the world in the form of debate.

At this time, the two were arguing about the term "going with the sky" because of their different opinions.

Xunzi believes that "heaven" refers to the general trend, and "potential" is caused by human beings, so human behavior and will are the most important reasons for the changes in the world.

However, Wei Liao believes that "heaven" refers to "the nature of heaven and earth", and believes that human will and behavior must obey the evolution of "natural nature of heaven and earth".

In short, the difference in their own views and different views on things makes it difficult for the two to reach a consensus on a certain matter.

Wei Liao also gave an example: People tend to cultivate in fertile fields rather than barren fields. Doesn't this prove that people can only survive if they follow the laws of heaven and nature?

Another example is planting in spring and harvesting in winter. This all proves that people must follow the time and principles of heaven.

Facing Wei Liao's arguments with examples, Xunzi used to give examples to refute, but now, he just smiled slightly.

Then he pointed to Gao Jing.

Gao Jing stood respectfully aside with a teapot in his hand, and was taken aback for a moment.

Wei Liao's face was a bit uneasy, and he said: "Boy, don't use your famous words to argue with me anymore!"

exposed!

Gao Jing smiled slightly, and said: "Guo Wei is a guest, and the host can do whatever he wants. Listening to Guo Wei's talk, it seems to be a Taoist school, so Gao Jing naturally talks about "reason" first!"

Only then did Wei Liao nod his head in satisfaction, and said, "Then tell me."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Since Guowei used land as an example, then I should do the same.

When I was in power in South Korea, someone told me that the land in a certain place in South Korea was not suitable for farming due to lack of water, so I ordered a canal to be dug to bring water in, so South Korea had more than a thousand acres of fertile land.

As for planting in spring and harvesting in winter... There is a purple orchid pavilion in South Korea. There is a flowering tree in the house that does not bloom all the year round, because the brazier is lit all year round in the purple orchid pavilion, and the surroundings are warm like spring.

Therefore, Gao Jing believes that man will conquer nature! "

Xunzi looked at Wei Liao with a smile.

Wei Liao said angrily: "He is your junior brother, so he naturally faces you!"

Xunzi said proudly: "But the truth will not change because of people's hearts."

Wei Liao was speechless, changed the subject bluntly, and began to discuss with Xunzi how to preach.

When Taoism imparts knowledge (bhdj), it belongs to stocking.

The first stage is to look more, to observe the laws of operation of all things in the world.
