Da Qin: I asked you to touch the jade seal, but you touched a woman?

Chapter 399 Do You Think I Don't Know?
It's just that after these students glanced at each other, they all fell silent again.

Some of them didn't know what Xunzi meant.

Seeing that his disciples were afraid to express their opinions, Xunzi encouraged him: "It's okay to say it, I'm just here to talk about this matter today."

With these words, the students suddenly became bold.

"The disciples feel that the imperial examination system will abolish the recommendation system that has been in place for thousands of years. It is really an abandonment of the ancestors and apostasy. It is inappropriate, inappropriate!"

Immediately, several disciples nodded repeatedly, and said in agreement: "This disciple also thinks so, this is really inappropriate."

But apart from these few disciples, the other disciples didn't say a word.

Even the few disciples who spoke seemed to hesitate a bit when they spoke.

They are all scholars, and they see the pros and cons of the imperial examination system more clearly than ordinary people.

Of course, we can see the benefits compared to the recommendation system.

What's more, the vast majority of them are unpopular figures in the family, neither can inherit the title, nor can they be recommended to become officials.

Although the imperial examination system is not good for the family, it is a great hope for them!

So even though he said something wrong, he couldn't hide the joy and longing in his eyes.

Moreover, the Confucian knowledge they have learned always requires them to cultivate themselves, govern the family, govern the country and the world.

This self-cultivation they have done.

But they are not important figures in the family, and the Qi family will definitely not be able to do it.

Not to mention the subsequent governance of the country and the peace of the world, which has nothing to do with them at all.

The imperial examination system gives them the opportunity to have something to do with these things.

To some extent, this is also in line with the Confucian knowledge they have learned!

Xunzi was able to teach these people, and his vision was naturally no worse than these people, and he could also see the advantages and benefits of the imperial examination system.

But he was very troubled.

Because he himself is a beneficiary of the recommendation system, he naturally knows that under the recommendation system, he can firmly grasp what he already has, and even directly inherit it to his descendants.

But he also knows that the imperial examination system can make the whole of Daqin better.

One is to make himself and his family better, and the other is to make Daqin better.

These two incompatible things made Xunzi very hesitant.

It was precisely for this reason that he wanted to draw some inspiration from his disciples.

But now it seems that the disciples, like myself, are also very entangled.

Xunzi was a little disappointed, and was about to ask his disciples to retreat, and when he thought about it again, suddenly there was a noise outside.

This burst of sound was extremely regular, and it was not something that ordinary people could make, but it was clearly the sound that could be made by well-trained people.

Qin Bing!

Xunzi and a group of disciples turned pale immediately, trembling uncontrollably.

It's not here to catch them, is it?
At this time, outside the gate of the academy, Ying Xi looked at the closed gate and looked up and down.

Although he created this school, he never visited it once.

This is the first time I have seen what the gate of the academy looks like.

Han Xin on the side stepped forward and cupped his hands at Ying Xi: "Your Highness, shall I break open the gate directly?"

Ying Xi waved his hand: "This is the academy, don't be so rude. Knock on the door."

Han Xin didn't know why Ying Xi was so polite all of a sudden, but he immediately carried out Ying Xi's orders to the letter.

"Boom!"

The knock on the door quickly brought Xunzi and the other disciples back to their senses. Xunzi glanced at the disciple at the side, and then the disciple got up helplessly, trembling and went to open the door.

When he saw Han Xin standing outside, followed by Ying Xi, the disciple was so frightened that he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

"Teacher, this is...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wow——

The inside suddenly exploded.

Your Royal Highness!

It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Is this here to kill them?
While panicking, he heard Han Xin say loudly: "His Royal Highness wants to see you, Mr. Xun."

The disciple who was almost desperate jumped up immediately when he heard this sentence.

"I'm going to call the teacher right now."

Xunzi had already heard the voice outside and stood up.

Fu Nian on the side wanted to get up, but Xunzi stopped him with a look.

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Xunzi came to Yingxi and saluted respectfully.

"Let's go in and talk." Ying Xi raised his foot and stepped in.

When he came to the place where he usually had classes in the academy, Ying Xi sat directly on the seat Xunzi made on weekdays and watched Xunzi walk in.

"I have two questions I want to ask Mr.

Ying Xi said straight to the point why he came.

When Xunzi heard this, he immediately let go of his hanging heart.

It turns out that you are asking yourself a question, so there is no problem.

He also heard that the exam will be held soon, and he felt that Ying Xi was setting the exam questions.

"His Royal Highness, please tell me." Xunzi said with a smile on his face.

"These two sentences are very common: chivalry breaks the law with martial arts, and Confucianism breaks the law with literature. Mr. Xun, what do you think these two sentences mean?"

The smile on Xunzi's face disappeared instantly.

Not only that, it even took away all the blood!
Confucianism and literature mess up the law, what does this sentence mean, it is too obvious!

This is to move his Confucianism!
But Xunzi refused to accept it, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, I have never heard of this sentence, and I do not agree with this statement."

"Since my Confucianism came to Xianyang, I have never participated in any violation of the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. How can I say that I violated the law?"

Seeing Xunzi's questioning expression, Ying Xi chuckled.

"Really do not have?"

"Do you think that people outside won't know what you say when you're locked up here?"

The smile on Ying Xi's face gradually disappeared and became cold.

"Let me ask you, are you advocating too much feudalism here? Do you let your disciples go back to assist the princes?"

"These, don't you think you're messing with the law?!"

Ying Xi spoke louder and louder, till the end, Xunzi trembled all over.

It never occurred to him that Ying Xi knew all the things that he said in the yard on weekdays!
How did he know?
Xunzi racked his brains, but couldn't figure out how Yingxi knew.

Of course Ying Xi would not tell Xunzi that he was using a net to monitor this place.

Xunzi, that is a great Confucian figure in history.

Although Ying Xi had never been to the academy, he never let go of his surveillance.

And in order to achieve the effect he wanted, even after finding the shadow of Xunzi in those who rebelled against Qin, he did not do anything, but let Xunzi continue his activities.

In this way, Xunzi really felt that no one in the academy cared about him, so he felt relieved and began to transmit his set of thoughts and theories.

It was also because of this that he was so shocked that Ying Xi knew what he had done!
