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

Chapter 459 New Confucianism, people-oriented
"good."

Ying Zheng nodded. Although the words are very clear and can even read ten lines at a glance, their literary attainments are really not high.

Also, the examples cited above did not quote classics, but fabricated things between the common people.

It doesn't look like spreading New Confucianism, but like a novel.

How could such a "vulgar" thing become the ideological guidance of Daqin people in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years?
Yingzheng was very happy to see Xunzi realize these "mistakes" of his.

"Mr. Xun, since you can see where the problem is, please go back and reorganize."

Yingzheng was ready to let Xunzi leave after speaking.

Unexpectedly, Xunzi suddenly saluted Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, the old man's goal in the past few months is to popularize His Highness's New Confucianism so that everyone can see it."

what?
Hearing Xunzi's words, Ying Zheng, Li Si and others were all surprised.

Can Xunzi do this?

Why?

Before a few people asked questions, Xunzi began to explain.

"Actually, when I first sorted out the New Confucianism, I was just like Your Majesty. I wanted to make these things as elegant and gorgeous as possible."

"However, when the part that I had sorted out was seen by His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness directly rejected the old idea."

"It's His Highness the Crown Prince's intention to popularize these arrangements?" Xiao He and the others beside him asked in a voiceless voice.

"good."

Xunzi nodded.

"Why?" Xiao He and the others asked again.

"At the beginning, I was the same as you, and I didn't understand why His Royal Highness did this."

Xunzi showed a look of reminiscence on his face, but then a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"His Royal Highness said that the only goal of the old man to sort out the new Confucianism is to put people first, and take the people of Daqin as the foundation!"

people oriented?

Hearing these four words, Ying Zheng and the others were shocked.

These four characters sound simple, and the strokes of each character are not many, but the meaning contained in them is extremely complicated.

The three of Xiao He even couldn't stop chanting these four words in their mouths, and the shock in their hearts became more and more intense.

During the palace examination, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to them at the end, summed up in these four words?

It's ridiculous that they thought His Highness the Crown Prince taught them temporarily, but they didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince had already summed up the content a few months ago.

And they, ridiculously recorded so many words and hung them in the study.

Use these four words to make it clear!
Xunzi continued to narrate: "His Royal Highness said that these new Confucianisms are not for His Majesty or ministers to see, but for the common people of Great Qin."

"Because both His Majesty and ministers already know these things well, only the people who have never read books don't understand."

"And the target group of New Confucianism is these ordinary people."

"If the rhetoric of New Confucianism is gorgeous, the people will not be interested in listening to it at all. But if it is written in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way, and even with interesting examples, the people will be willing and even willing to learn it."

When Xunzi said this, he couldn't help sighing: "People in the world have said that Lao Shi is a great Confucian and the most learned person in the world. I am really ashamed!"

"The truly most learned person is clearly His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Neither Yingzheng nor Li Si could refute Xunzi's sigh.

They had personally seen or experienced Ying Xi's wisdom before, but from this incident, they truly understood how much higher Ying Xi's wisdom was than them! "Put people first, put people first, okay! Say yes!"

At this time, after talking about it a few times, Ying Zheng suddenly hit the table hard, and then looked at Li Si.

"Prime Minister, I have heard that your calligraphy is very good. Please write these four characters for me. I will hang these four characters here and remind me all the time."

"Here!"

Li Si stepped forward with an extremely solemn expression, as if he was about to carry out an extremely solemn mission.

Soon, the four words "people-oriented" were written, and Ying Zheng immediately called someone to frame them, and then hung them at the entrance of the side hall, so that he could see them when he looked up when he was reviewing the memorials.

"Everyone, take a good look at these four words."

Ying Zheng called Li Si and others, looked at the plaque for a long time, and then said earnestly: "In the future, whether it is the widow or you, you must always aim at these four words."

"Here!"

Li Sixiao and the others all bowed together.

They answered convincingly.

After looking at Xunzi again, whether it was Li Si or Xiao He who was full of hostility just now, their eyes were a little complicated.

Li Si originally thought that Xunzi's level was not as good as before, and spent several months sorting out such things, but he didn't expect that this was what was really needed.

But Xiao He and the others hated the New Confucianism extremely, because they felt that the New Confucianism was a betrayal of Confucianism.

But now it seems that this is not a betrayal, it is clearly to carry forward Confucianism!

Although the New Confucianism contains many elements from other schools of thought, such as the Legalists, when you think about it carefully, these things are exactly what the previous Confucianism lacked.

Traditional Confucianism guides people to be kind, but when you think about it carefully, the reason why Confucianism guides people to be kind is that they know that people's hearts are not good.

However, it is impossible to make people truly better with simple education. Only by adding a bottom line can people really become better.

This new Confucianism evolved from the shortcomings of Confucianism by absorbing the advantages of other schools.

It is the inheritance and development of Confucianism, where is there any betrayal?
There was a burning pain on the faces of the three people. It turned out that they had misunderstood Xunzi all along.

The three of them were not unreasonable people. After realizing their mistakes, they came to Xunzi together.

"Mr. Xun, we have been disrespectful to you several times before, and we are rude."

Xunzi smiled slightly, and waved his hand directly to indicate that he didn't care.

Seeing Xunzi's magnanimity, the three couldn't help admiring him even more.

"Mr. Xun, you came here today just to tell me that the new Confucianism has been sorted out?" Ying Zheng asked at this time.

"Yes."

Xunzi nodded: "By the way, I would like to ask, is this new Confucianism going to be implemented in Daqin?"

"of course yes!"

Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation: "First, let's start from Xianyang!"

As he said that, Ying Zheng looked at Xunzi, his face full of reliance: "Mr. Xun, from today onwards, you will be my Daqin's academic official, responsible for teaching the people all over the world!"

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng chuckled: "Xun Aiqing, I hope you can quickly let the people of Xianyang learn the new Confucianism, and give the prince a surprise when he comes back."

"Sir, obey the order!"
