Chapter 416 New Confucianism, hard to choose
Xunzi quickly took the bamboo slips from Ying Xi's hands, and then looked at them carefully.

Ying Xi continued: "If Confucianism can abandon some other things and develop towards the aspects written above, it may not be impossible for Daqin to practice both Legalism and Confucianism at the same time."

"At that time, the law will be used to regulate people, and Confucianism will be used to establish people!"

boom!
Xunzi's mind suddenly seemed to be blasted by something.

Use law to regulate people, use Confucianism to establish people!
These two simple words made him feel suddenly enlightened.

Yes!

Isn't what they advocated by Confucianism just to make people better?
Prior to this, Confucianism's understanding of human beings was that human nature is inherently good.

But in Xunzi's view, human nature is inherently evil.

It is precisely because human nature is inherently evil that laws are needed to restrain people.

With the law as the final bottom line, coupled with the use of Confucianism to make people realize what is good, the world will definitely become a better place!

Ying Xi didn't speak, looked at Xunzi who was stunned, and smiled.

Since Xunzi can point out that human nature is inherently evil, it means that he is not immutable, and will not cling to the old things, but has his own understanding and ideas.

Such a person must be able to understand what he said.

As long as he figured it out, he would naturally stand on his side.

Sure enough, as Xunzi thought more and more clearly, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

In the end, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Xi.

Ying Xi looked back into Xunzi's eyes and smiled slightly.

"Where should Confucianism go, I think you already have the answer."

"Yes!"

Xunzi nodded vigorously.

As Ying Xi said, he already has an answer to what direction Confucianism should develop next.

Xunzi walked slowly to Yingxi and stood beside Han Xin.

The meaning of this action couldn't be more obvious.

That is, from now on, he has become a follower of Yingxi!
Not only him, but also the new Confucianism that is about to be born and fit with the times is following Ying Xi!

A smile appeared on Ying Xi's face.

A person who understands current affairs is a hero. It seems that Xunzi is indeed worthy of his reputation in history.

"In that case, I won't stay any longer."

With that said, Ying Xi stood up and took Han Xin away.

Xunzi hurriedly followed and prepared to take a breath.

However, Ying Xi waved his hand: "Mr. Xun stay awhile, you go back and take a good look at what I wrote, and see if there is anything that needs to be changed or supplemented."

"I hope you can bring up all the things you think are inappropriate within three days, because this thing will be distributed to everyone in Daqin in the future."

When Xunzi heard this, he immediately became excited.

Ying Xi is really not just talking about it, but really wants to put it into action!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to finish it within three days!" Xunzi promised.

……

While the examinees in Xianyang City were waiting for the examination results to be released, and Xunzi was immersed in studying the new Confucianism given to him by Ying Xi, Fusu, who was already at the border, finally got the news from Xianyang City.

But when he heard the news, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Xunzi actually took the initiative to write a letter of guilt, and admitted that those things were all related to him?"

Fusu was completely confused. He couldn't understand why Xunzi did this.Isn’t Xunzi the staunchest supporter of the feudal system?

Isn't he the one who hates Ying Xi the most?
Why did she suddenly take the initiative to take the blame for Ying Xi?

Fusu couldn't figure it out.

But before he could figure it out, he suddenly realized something.

Very serious matter!

Before this, many things were done in cooperation with Xunzi tacitly.

Now that Xunzi has rebelled, wouldn't all the things he did have to be discovered?
He was dispatched here, and he thought it was Ying Zheng's punishment for him doing nothing when Ying Zheng was unconscious.

But if Ying Zheng knew what he had done, then he might not be as simple as guarding the border here!

It is very likely that he lost his life directly!
There is one more thing, that is, those nobles who I originally relied on.

But in the past two months, because of the imperial examination, many of those nobles have also turned around and ran towards Yingxi!

It can be said that when I did nothing, I lost a lot of backing!

Now, even Confucianism, the largest piece of backing, has fallen!
Fusu trembled all over, his face full of fear and uneasiness.

Without these backings, what would he use to fight Ying Xi?
What made him even more horrified was that Ying Xi, the murderous demon king, did not attack Xunzi. Does it mean that Xunzi has also joined Ying Xi's side?
Originally the biggest help from his own side, he actually joined the enemy's side.

Thinking of this, Fusu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Finished!

It's over!

Before coming here, he still wanted to hide his strength and bide his time, intending to make a comeback.

But now, his backing, those who were killed by Ying Xi, those who were killed, those who were frightened, those who rebelled, and those who rebelled, have completely lost the capital to fight against Ying Xi!

Fusu, this time she was completely desperate.

Ying Xi, who was in Xianyang Palace, had no time to think about Fusu's state of mind, nor did she care at all.

All his energy now is devoted to the examination.

Although the examination has been completed, for him, it has just begun.

These students' answer sheets, after intense marking, selected dozens of students from thousands of people.

Compared with other answer sheets, the answers of these dozens of people are more than a notch higher in terms of knowledge and thought.

And at this level, the level of many answer sheets can no longer widen the gap.

But this is an exam. Naturally, there are fronts and backs, and there are rankings.

Ying Xi is now worrying about how to rank these people.

I thought it was not difficult, but now it seems that so many talents gather together to take the exam, and only then do I know how smart the talents from all over the Qin Dynasty are!

After thinking about it, Ying Xi took the answer sheet with him, and directly found Ying Zheng who was reviewing the memorial.

Seeing Ying Xi approaching, Ying Zheng immediately put down the memorial and even took the initiative to greet him.

"How is it? The result of the test has come out?"

This is what Ying Zheng cares about the most these days, especially on the day when the exam ends, after Ying Xi casually showed him some answer sheets, he couldn't wait for it.

The wisdom shown above is already better than the civil and military ministers under him now!

And these answer sheets are only the answer sheets of candidates who have passed the rural examination.

He believes that the talents who will be screened out will be even better!

He can't wait to become an official for these candidates!
