Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

The emperor was talking with his teacher Xunzi in the house.

Outside the house, the Qin army was guarding, and the Shadow Guards and Luowang assassins were hiding in the dark.

Many Confucian disciples were also waiting outside.

The head of the Confucian school, Fu Nian, breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside him, Yan Lu, the second in command of the Confucian school, who had a mustache and looked gentle and unrestrained, smiled and said, "Big Brother, you look much more relaxed."

Fu Nian noticed that there was no one around him, he nodded and whispered, "After all, I am the head of the Confucian school, and I am responsible for the prosperity or decline of Confucianism."

"When the First Emperor was alive, he advocated the Legalists and did not practice benevolent politics, so I was naturally terrified."

"If the First Emperor forced me, I, the Confucian If the Confucianists followed the emperor, wouldn't it be a violation of the Confucian spirit? It was also inconsistent with my ideas. "

"But if the Confucians refused, they would be in danger of being slaughtered by the First Emperor. At that time, I was exhausted and couldn't sleep because of my daily thinking. "

"I always think about whether the honor and disgrace of Confucianism is more important, or the survival of Confucianism is more important."

The Confucians at that time were not the corrupt Confucians of later generations. They didn't care about their spirit at all for their own lives. The soft bones of the literati were outrageous.

That's why there was a saying that after entering the pass, there would be great Confucians to debate the scriptures for me.

The Confucians of this period were still relatively simple and had spirit. Even in the face of the supreme emperor, the First Emperor, they dared to say no.

Yan Lu smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about it, senior brother."

Fu Nian took a breath and said, "Yes, I finally feel relieved. I don't have to worry about the safety of Confucianism."

There is one thing he hasn't said yet, that is, it is too treasonous.

In Fu Nian's mind, the time when the First Emperor died was very good. The Legalist thought had not yet taken root in the new empire, but it was the direction changed by the current emperor, the Confucianism and Legalism merged.

It can even be said that as long as the First Emperor died, it would be a good thing for Confucianism.

Whether it was Prince Fusu or King Yong, they did not have any special hatred for Confucianism, at least they would not dislike it like the First Emperor.

Now that King Yong has succeeded to the throne, although Confucianism has begun to be reformed and influenced by the Legalist thought, one thing has not changed, that is, the core of Confucianism is benevolence and righteousness.

Xunzi's doctrine can teach so many Legalist disciples, which shows how much similarity there is between Xunzi's doctrine and Legalism.

But the biggest difference between Xunzi and the Legalists lies in the core concept, which is also what Confucianism values ​​most.

And it is obvious that the current emperor also understands the righteousness and knows that the core concept of the Legalists will only cause chaos in the country, and only benevolent politics is the kingly way.

Han Fei was also waiting outside the house. He looked at Zhang Liang, who was as gentle as jade, and smiled: "Zifang, do you still want to rebel against Qin now?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Nineth Master, you are joking. I am now a staunch supporter of Qin."

Looking at Zhang Liang's 180-degree change, Han FeiLaughing.

Although Zhang Liang was no longer hostile to Qin in the past, he was forced to do so because of his family.

But now even the entire Confucianism has begun to support Qin, and the former princes and princesses of Han have given up on restoring their country. So what reason does he, the grandson of the former prime minister, have to resist Qin?

If he still opposes Qin, he will not only stand on the opposite side of Qin, but also stand on the opposite side of Confucianism. He, Zhang Liang, will really have no place to stand.

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and asked, "Ninth Prince, are my family living well in Xianyang?"

"Zifang, don't you have any correspondence with your family?"

Han Fei was a little surprised.

Zhang Liang shook his head: "After all, I am now the third in command of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, representing Confucianism."

"I don't know what Confucianism was planning before. If Confucianism firmly resisted the Qin State, if I still had correspondence with my family, wouldn't it be a burden to my family?"

"So, I cut off my relationship with my family at that time."

Han Fei sighed, Zhang Liang was really smart and conscious, he said: "Mr. Zhang has passed away."

Hearing that his grandfather had passed away, Zhang Liang felt sad.

For his grandfather, whom he loved the most, he could not be by his side to show his filial piety when he died. As a Confucian disciple, he was really an unfilial person.

"The Zhang family is doing well in Qin. His Majesty did not confiscate the family's property and left a large part of their wealth."

"Although the Zhang family has not made much progress in the political arena, it is still a wealthy family in Xianyang."

"Perhaps in a few years, when people have forgotten the six kingdoms and the identity of the Zhang family as descendants of Han has faded, they can serve as officials in Qin."

After a pause, Han Fei said: "... His Majesty has always valued your ability, Zifang. If you enter the government now, you will also help the Zhang family."

Zhang Liang was a little Although he was tempted, he still had to say in the end: "My family knows my own business. I am just a little clever and can calculate others, but my ability in internal affairs is very average."

"At this time, Qin State has almost no wars and no equal opponents. Where can I use my cleverness?"

"Besides, I am not a material for being an official. Although the Ninth Prince is teaching now, he has not entered the court as an official." (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang himself was a little moved.

Yes, except for a few anti-Qin forces, the Qin State is now completely stable and there is no unrest.

If he still wants to do anti-Qin things, wouldn't it bring war to more people, which is really not in line with the Confucian concept.

Thinking in this way, Zhang Liang felt that his choice was correct.

In the official history, Zhang Liang retired after his success, which is in line with the Taoist way of heaven and earth. It can be seen that he was not a person who valued power.

Of course, the Zhang family in historyBecause of this marquis, he has grown stronger.

Han Fei said: "You are right, Zifang, you are not suitable for being an official, so why don't you come to Chang'an Academy and teach with me?"

Han Fei's words moved Zhang Liang.

This is possible.

Although I can't be an official, it is also good to have students all over the world. They are Confucian people who should teach without distinction.

Zhang Liang immediately said: "Okay, then when your majesty returns to Xianyang, I will resign with my senior brothers and go to Xianyang with the ninth prince."

After going to Xianyang, he can not only work with the ninth prince whom he once admired the most, but also see his family whom he has not seen for a long time. Zhang Liang has been tempted for a long time.

Han Fei smiled secretly.

That's great. I was worried that no one would share the work with me. When Zifang came, I felt relieved all of a sudden and could drink a little wine when I had nothing to do.

Han Fei missed the time when he was in Han.

At that time, he didn't work much, leaving all the work to Zhang Liang. Those troublesome things that required checking files were also done by Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang didn't know that he had been drafted by Han Fei and was about to become an object of exploitation. 6.
