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

Chapter 408 Xunzi admits defeat and repays the interest
"I understand."

Speaking of this, Xunzi is not a fool, he knows what Yingxi means is to look at his subsequent performance.

In other words, whether Confucianism will live or die in the future depends entirely on Xunzi's thought.

If under the leadership of Xunzi, Confucianism is still the same as before, trying to make trouble in the dark, then Ying Xi will not be polite anymore.

But if Xunzi can hide from the world with Confucianism, and even stand on Yingxi's side instead, then the future prospects will be broad.

After Xunzi finished speaking and understood, he stood there, motionless, like a stone sculpture.

In his mind, heaven and man are at war.

Where should Confucianism go? This is a question he is considering now.

Ying Xi didn't rush, just waiting for Xunzi's result.

He believed that Xunzi would make the wisest choice before long.

Sure enough, after a while, Xunzi's eyes moved.

Then, he respectfully knelt down in front of Ying Xi.

"His Royal Highness, the old man has lost, but he has also accepted."

"His Royal Highness is right. Times have changed, and my previous ideas no longer apply."

"Here, I assure His Royal Highness that from now on, Confucianism will not take any actions that violate His Royal Highness's orders."

"I would like to use my remaining life to educate the common people and let them understand the good intentions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xunzi's expression was extremely serious, as if he was saying some oath.

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed respectfully to Ying Xi before standing up.

But after standing up, when he faced Ying Xi, he still bowed slightly, expressing his respect for Ying Xi.

His respect was not because of Ying Xi's status as the crown prince, but because he was impressed by the wisdom that Ying Xi had just shown!

Before, Xunzi always felt that he was the most intelligent person in the whole world, that's why he stubbornly wanted to return to the era of feudalism.

At that time, he felt that he was right.

But after talking with Ying Xi, he finally knew that he was wrong.

Not only was it wrong, it was terribly wrong.

The current era is no longer the era he understands and recognizes.

This era is the era of Yingxi!
Ying Xi also put away the smile on his face at this time, and nodded slowly as if promising something.

"it is good."

With Ying Xi's promise, Xunzi raised his head and looked at the dim lights in the distance.

There, the students studied their knowledge painstakingly, and laughed happily when they thought about it.

On the street, children chased and played, with happy smiles on their faces.

Vendors, yelling and selling.

Everyone has what they want to do and what they are doing.

Everyone is different from the faces in his impression.

But he knew that this was exactly what he was after!
Xunzi's brows slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his pale face.

"His Royal Highness, the old man is completely convinced."

Ying Xi smiled slightly, and then nodded: "Mr. Xun is able to figure it out, and it is also a blessing for scholars in the world."

"With someone like Mr. Xun teaching them and resolving their doubts, they might even be able to laugh out loud in their dreams."

Xunzi immediately became excited.

Although Ying Xi's words were vague, there was no doubt that he was entrusted with an extremely important task.

Guide the world's scholars!
Of course, he knew very well that what Ying Xi asked him to guide was definitely not the previous enfeoffment system or Confucianism, but what Ying Xi would ask him to teach.

Before changing it, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree.

But now, he nodded without hesitation.

"How dare I disobey His Highness the Crown Prince's orders? But according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders!" Seeing Xunzi's attitude and Ying Xi's guidance, Xunzi really surrendered to him.

"Okay. Sir, follow me down first."

Afterwards, Ying Xi took Xunzi into the side hall.

Seeing Cao Changqing reviewing the memorial, Xunzi was not displeased.

If it was him before, he would definitely be furious when he saw this scene.

Cao Changqing is a courtier, how can he presume to review the memorial?
But now he is very clear that Cao Changqing's understanding of Ying Xi's thoughts is more accurate than anyone else.

He had heard that although the imperial examination system was first proposed by Li Si in the imperial court, it was Cao Changqing who mentioned it to him.

And behind Cao Changqing is Ying Xi!

Ying Xi beckoned to Cao Changqing: "Cao Aiqing, come here."

Cao Changqing put down the memorial and walked up to Ying Xi, and nodded towards Xunzi.

Cao Changqing was not surprised that Ying Xi was able to subdue Xunzi.

He knows the strength and level of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince best.

Even if it is him, he has to pay homage to him!

So, he had expected all this.

"Tomorrow, you will give Mr. Xun a set of the books I asked you to copy."

"Here!"

Cao Changqing complied, and then looked at Ying Xi, asking if he had any other orders.

Ying Xi thought for a while, and then waved his hand: "You can send Mr. Xun to the palace by the way, and then you don't have to come back. I can review the rest of the memorial."

"Here!"

Cao Changqing responded again, then came to Xunzi, smiled and said, "Mr. Xun, please."

Xunzi bowed his hands to Cao Changqing: "Please, Mr. Cao."

The two left the side hall one after the other, and soon arrived outside the gate of the academy.

Xunzi said goodbye to Cao Changqing and prepared to enter the academy.

Cao Changqing, who had been silent all the way, suddenly opened his mouth at this moment: "Mr. Xun, I have two words, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Xunzi was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly said, "Mr. Cao, it's okay to say."

"What does Mr. Xun think you can survive?" Cao Changqing asked.

"This……"

Xunzi was taken aback for a moment, then said after pondering, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Ah."

Cao Changqing nodded, and then left without looking back, leaving behind a dazed Xunzi.

Cao Changqing What does this mean?
Xunzi didn't react for a while.

Standing outside the gate of the academy and thinking for a long time, Xunzi finally understood what Cao Changqing meant until the moon was in the sky.

Since His Highness the Crown Prince spared you, how are you going to repay His Highness the Crown Prince?

This is the underlying meaning that Cao Changqing wants to say!
Xunzi nodded. Indeed, he had to repay Ying Xi for not killing him.

But Ying Xi, as the crown prince and the next king of Great Qin, lacks neither strength nor anything.

What is most needed?

Xunzi returned to the academy with heavy thoughts.

The next morning, just as Ying Zheng sat down, Li Si stood up.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I received a document as soon as possible, and this person has repeatedly urged that it must be handed over to Your Majesty in the morning."

Ying Zheng was extremely surprised.

Who has such a big face that he can order Li Si to move him?
