Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

"Young Master, this is today’s meal."

A child of four or five years old came to Ying Wei with a bamboo basket in his hand and said respectfully.

Ying Wei sat in front of a stone table and signaled the child to put down the bamboo basket. He opened the bamboo basket and smelled The delicious food inside is full of aroma and praises:

"……The fat man who lives in an inn has improved his cooking skills recently, and the taste alone makes people want to eat."

The young boy said with a smile:"……Uncle Ding's craftsmanship is better than before, especially the grilled fish……"

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

Ying Wei looked at him with a half-smile and said:"……It seems that you, Zi Liao, have already finished your morning meal at Fatty Ding's place."

Zi Liao's expression changed and he lowered his head:"……Uncle Ding cooked too much grilled fish, so he gave me one to eat. I ate the morning meal before the young master, hoping that the young master would atone for his sins."

Ying Wei said calmly:"……Go back and kneel down to do self-examination, and memorize a few passages of The Analects. Then I will have someone come and check."

"For now, you should go to class and study first."

Zi Liao quickly said respectfully."……Here!"

After saying that, Zi Liao stepped back and left to go to school.

This young child was Ying Wei's book boy, that is, the son of Black and White Xuanjian.

Black and white Xuanjian was once just a gangster with no surname. This The child inherited the surname of the Wei family and was named Liao, and because he was currently studying in Confucianism, he was called Zi Liao. Although etiquette was ruined during the Warring States Period, there was one etiquette that could never be abolished, and that was the etiquette between nobles and common people..

As a modern person, Ying Wei was a little uncomfortable at first, but after so many years, he gradually got used to the life of the royal family.

As a book boy, he ate before the master. This was a mistake. If it was in In modern times, such trivial matters naturally don't matter, especially when you are a child, and you will not be punished.

But in this era, this is a mistake, and there must be punishment.

Especially in the Legalist way, there is a monarch who must reward and punish Clear requirements.

If the ministers make mistakes and the monarch does not punish them, the ministers will think that the monarch is weak and can be bullied, and they will inevitably commit the same crime again in the future.

From this we can see the difference between Confucianism and Legalism. Confucianism may think that small mistakes can be forgiven , just give some criticism and show your benevolence, then the ministers will be grateful. Legalists firmly believe that human nature is evil and must be punished.

In conclusion, in fact, both theories are correct. You never know what will happen to the other person after you forgive them. Will he continue to deceive the emperor or will he be ashamed and correct himself?

This thing is quantum mechanics!

After finishing the meal, Ying Wei called the servants to clear away the dishes.

"A gentleman cooks far away, so Xiaoshengxianzhuang never opens fire"

"But this sentence was originally Mencius' exhortation to virtuous people to practice benevolence and righteousness. Now the Little Sage Village directly quotes its literal meaning."

"It can be seen that the so-called classics are meant to be distorted by future generations."

Ying Wei laughed. After breakfast, he went directly to the library and continued to read the classics collected by Confucianism. For a few days, Ying Wei was always in the middle of his residence and the library.

Ever since he knew that Jing Salamander was going to assassinate him, Ying Wei had given up the idea of ​​returning to Qin now. Who knew that as soon as he left Little Saint Xian Manor, he would see a Jing Salamander sword stab him?

Or was it this little one ? The Sage's Manor made Ying Wei feel more secure.

Even just in case, Ying Wei didn't even go to the Xingle Building. He only read the books of the Sage, which made Han Fei marvel. He didn't know how Ying Wei changed. He became a gentleman.

In the pre-Qin period, ordinary people only ate two meals a day because they wanted to save food.

But for royal nobles like Ying Wei, they could eat whenever they wanted, and they could eat whenever they wanted. He asked the chef to cook for him.

He studied like this for several days. At noon one day, Zi Liao suddenly jogged to find Ying Wei and said:"……Young Master, there is a Qin official outside the Little Sage’s Villa asking to see you."

As soon as Ying Wei heard this, he knew that Brother Zheng was sending him money and gifts again.

Ever since Ying Wei sent his and Han Fei's works to Xianyang Palace more than a year ago, Ying Zheng has been sending people to him every now and then. People went to Qi State and did not express condolences to Ying Wei.

That was because the works of Ying Wei and Han Fei hit the heart of Ying Zheng.

Historically, Ying Zheng once read Han Fei's works and said:"……Alas, I would hate to die if I saw this person hanging out with him!"

As long as I can make friends with Han Fei, I will have no regrets even if I die. This shows how much Ying Zheng admires Han Fei and Legalism.

Anyone's thoughts are inseparable from the environment in which they grow up. Ying Zheng admires Han Fei so much." Legalism also has its reasons.

Ying Zheng was born in the State of Zhao. When he was a child, Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei ran away to the State of Qin, leaving Ying Zheng and his mother orphaned and widowed to live in the State of Zhao.

Abandoned by his father as a hostage, Ying Zheng The misery of life as a child can be seen. He was definitely bullied every day. He finally returned to Qin at the age of nine and succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen. However, until he was twenty-one, he was almost a puppet. He was obviously the king of Qin. , but Lu Buwei controlled the government and was still called Zhongfu, you can imagine how frustrated he was.

During this period of time, he also experienced the rebellion of his brothers with whom he had a good relationship, and his relationship with his mother also became increasingly tense. Nervous.

The worst moment in Ying Zheng's life was when his mother took advantage of him and gave birth to a child to replace him. Even the mother with whom he was closest to him wanted to kill him, so how could he not let Ying Zheng Disheartened?

Ying Zheng was extremely miserable during his childhood and adolescence. He betrayed all his relatives and finally became a complete loner. It was not easy for him to have no mental problems.

Facing Ying Zheng, who had gone through all this and had such a miserable childhood, If you talk to him about Confucian benevolence and righteousness and ask him to implement benevolent government, he will definitely chop off your head.

To him, those Confucian ideas are just nonsense. Why don't you let Lu Buwei return his power to be benevolent and righteous?

Only Han Fei's That set of Legalist thoughts, those emperor's mental tricks and imperial methods are what Ying Zheng needs most in the life he has experienced, so Ying Zheng admires Han Fei and Legalism so much. If any time traveler dares to talk to Ying Zheng about Confucianism , he will not think that you have any great talent, he will only think that you do not understand him, and that it is true that there is no mutual agreement.

This is why Ying Wei established a good relationship with Han Fei after meeting him, and even You want to get your name in Han Fei's works.

According to modern parlance, this means taking photos with Internet celebrities to gain traffic.

Especially as a modern person, Ying Wei is really not good at ancient articles, and Han Fei happens to be a master at this.

Therefore, Ying Wei expresses his ideas in oral form, and Han Fei ghostwrites them to help him compile these ideas into a book. What will Ying

Zheng think if he sends these things to Ying Zheng?

I just think, my brother understands me so well. His thoughts are the same as mine. He is a soul and spiritual companion. I love him to death!

He will naturally be"thirsty" and keep sending people to Qi State. Various rewards are constantly being given, and they also help Ying Wei look after the fiefdom. In fact, there is only one purpose, and that is to urge Ying Wei to return home quickly.

This is actually the same as chasing a woman. Understanding the other person is the ultimate way to get into a woman's heart.

I like it Apple, you just gave me a box of pears, and you thought it was good for me, but you were just self-impressed.

Ying Wei called this"Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait".

Back then, Jiang Shang caught King Wen of Zhou, and he won We haven't caught Qin Shihuang.

As for Han Fei? He's just a tool, so don't mention it!

Ying Wei followed Zi Liao to the gate of Xiaoshengxian Village and saw a young official in his twenties at a glance among several Qin sergeants. The guards greeted him.

However, Ying Wei's attention was not on the young official, but on the chariot they were protecting.

When he saw the chariot, Ying Wei looked stern. Because of the color of the chariot and the silk gauze and other items on it, it looked like it was for a woman!
