Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Xunzi's old but energetic eyes were fixed on the chessboard in front of him, as if he was not listening to Ying Wei's words at all, as if he was only concerned about the chess game in front of him.

Suddenly, Xunzi said:"……Do you want to be king?"

Ying Wei was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head.

No, don't talk nonsense, teacher. Even in these days, I will sue you for slander.

Everyone in the world wants to be called king and emperor, but in Ying Wei's view , there are two types of emperors who are least suitable to be emperors.

One is the last king of the dynasty. No matter how talented and splendid you are, in the face of a difficult situation, it is estimated that the outcome will not be the same. They are all precarious and may die at any time.

Except The other emperor is the founding monarch. Faced with the establishment of a dynasty, the monarch needs to be wise enough and needs to make great efforts.

But now, there is a great change that has not happened in a thousand years. It is the Qin State that unifies the six countries. The best time.

Of course, as the king of the Qin State, he needs to be strict with himself at all times and deal with the complicated government affairs.

His brother Ying Zheng, who has not yet taken charge of the government, needs to deal with it every day. There are a huge amount of documents on bamboo slips.

If he is waiting for him to take charge, he will probably not have much rest time.

Especially the current situation is not yet for future generations. The dynasties of later generations have the concept of unification. After the establishment of the new dynasty, many things are learned from the ancients. The system can be solved, and the people are happy to unify.

But it is different now. The seven countries can only recognize their own country. Even after unification, they will face countless problems.

As the first unified dynasty in Chinese history, This first emperor is the most difficult one to be.

I think that in my previous life, I, Yingwei, received blessings every day 996. After finally traveling back to ancient times and becoming a royal family, can I still continue to deal with government affairs every day 996?

I don’t know!

Just look at Ying Zheng's life and you will know that he doesn't have much time for enjoyment at all. He is a workaholic and there are so many beauties in the world. In Ying Wei's view, spending limited time on enjoyment is the right way. Work You have been squeezed enough in your previous life, so you should just lie down in this life.

If possible, Ying Wei would rather be the second emperor of Qin than the first emperor of Qin!

Let Brother Zheng solve any troublesome things by himself, and have fun. It's up to me!

Besides, as the younger brother of the First Emperor, and as a member of the Qin royal family, as long as Ying Wei does not rebel, no matter what he does, Ying Zheng will not do anything to him for the sake of brotherhood.

Even if he really wants to be Emperor, Ying Wei doesn't mind becoming the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

While thinking about it, Ying Wei is still playing chess, but the chess game is in danger, which shows that his attention is not on the chess game at all.

"The struggle for power among the royal family, father and son killing each other, brothers fighting each other, have always been human tragedies."

"If you don't have that idea, that's the best thing"

"Snapped——"

Xunzi dropped the white piece and said slowly:"……You've almost read all the Taoist classics in the library."

"As a teacher, I have nothing more to teach you. You have already graduated."

Ying Wei looked at the slain dragon on the chessboard. He smiled casually and didn't care.

It wasn't that he gave up his fame and wealth, but that he could observe the chess game with a calmer attitude and a higher perspective. Worldly affairs.

Ying Wei dusted off his sleeves, stood up and knelt down, saluted and said:"……Finally, thank you teacher for your kindness in preaching and gaining karma!"

Xunzi accepted his courtesy and waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Ying Wei bowed three times, turned around and left the wooden house.

Xunzi looked at Ying Wei's leaving back with a pleased look in his eyes.

As a teacher, he never gives in. The students become another self. As a teacher, it is to impart knowledge and teach students how to think.

Then it is up to the students to understand life and their own path.

Therefore, Xunzi did not care about the three disciples he accepted. One person studies Fa and abandons Confucianism, while another person studies Dao. Although he agrees with some Confucian theories, he does not accept them all.

For Xunzi, students must have their own thinking and should not become another Xunzi. This is a qualified teacher. , and with their talents and abilities, they will definitely leave their names in history in the future.

Confucianism pays attention to teaching and educating people. From the perspective of Xunzi as a teacher, is there anything happier than teaching outstanding disciples?

But people They all have selfish motives. Among the three disciples, Xunzi likes Ying Wei the most.

Although the core ideas of the two are not exactly the same, Xunzi is a pure Confucian, but in many concepts, the two are surprisingly consistent.

Ying Wei Many of Wei's views, such as the rule of kings, boats and people, that human nature is inherently evil, and that the laws of the universe are not subject to human will, but that humans can use nature and transform it, are consistent with Xunzi's ideas. Together.

He not only walked out of his own way, but also inherited his own mantle. In Xunzi's view, Ying Wei is his true successor.

Xunzi thought about his past and entered Qin. He once said:"……There have been victories in four generations, and it is not a matter of luck. However, if the county has the reputation of being a king, it is not as good as it is!"

Qin's harsh punishments and laws made the country strong, but troubles would inevitably occur in the long run.

Now, Ying Wei has clearly understood the path of 'both virtue and punishment'. I wonder if he will be a blessing to the other six countries after he returns to Qin. It's a disaster

"The older I get, the more I like to reminisce about the past."

"If the Qin Dynasty can understand benevolence and righteousness and learn morality, it will be a good thing. Why should I bother myself here?"
