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

Chapter 468

"His Royal Highness, what does it mean that people's hearts are upward and human nature is downward?"

At this time, Li Si and Xiao He walked in with Xunzi.

They originally wanted to report the matter to Ying Zheng, but when they heard that Ying Xi was inside, they prepared to wait a while before going in.

But when they heard the eight words Ying Xi said, they couldn't bear it anymore and walked in together.

Ying Zheng saw a few people, and laughed: "Okay, then let's listen together, what does it mean to have an upward human heart and a downward human nature."

Looking at each of these eight characters separately, he knew what it meant.

But when the eight characters were put together, he was a little confused.

Ying Xi then explained: "Actually, this has the same meaning as Mr. Xun's human nature is inherently evil."

"Human nature is evil?"

When Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping heard this word, they all looked at Xunzi in shock.

Did they hear it right?

How could human nature be inherently evil?Doesn’t Confucianism say goodness?
Xunzi gave a wry smile at this time, His Royal Highness obviously had the same opinion, but he just brought him up alone.

"Xi'er, you explain."

Ying Zheng said with a smile at this moment.

He deliberately asked Ying Xi to explain, today's protagonist is Ying Xi!
Ying Xi nodded, thought for a while and said, "Let's take what I encountered in Qi State as an example."

"You should know that some people from Qi State are coming to Qin State, right?"

The crowd nodded.

Ying Xi said: "This is the most typical case where people's hearts are up and their nature is down."

"The people all want to live a good life, so they can't live in Qi, so they want to come to Daqin where the people live better. This is the upward trend of people's hearts."

"But for the Qi State, even if these people betrayed the Qi State, it is not too much in terms of human nature."

Several people understood, but Xiao He still couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, you just said that human nature is inherently evil, so how do you explain it? I think human nature should be inherently good."

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen twins waiting to be fed?"

Xiao He nodded.

"Then have you ever seen twins who can't understand human language and can't speak fight each other over food?"

Xiao He nodded again.

"Isn't that all?" Ying Xi spread his hands.

Xiao He couldn't help being stunned, thinking about it, what His Royal Highness said was actually right!

Isn't young children the beginning of human beings, and isn't hands-on evil?
Such a young child knows how to do it, isn't it human nature to be evil?
Xiao Heru was struck by lightning, he always believed that human nature is inherently good!

This simply refreshed his three views.

Zhang Liang was not persuaded yet: "His Royal Highness, I don't think so."

"I thought that the children who did it were mostly the children of the common people. I used to be a baby of a noble minister, but I didn't do anything for it."

Ying Xi smiled and shook his head: "What you said is another question."

"Another question? What question?" Zhang Liang was puzzled.

"Let me ask you, now you and Li Si have a plate of delicious food in front of you, will you go and grab Li Si's?"

"Of course not." Zhang Liang shook his head.

"Then now, you haven't eaten for three days, and there is a steamed bun in front of Li Si, will you grab it?"

Zhang Liang wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but finally nodded: "Yes."

"So what you just said is not a question of human nature, but a question of few and many."

"Because of lack, they will rob. The babies of noble officials will never be hungry, so they will not rob."

Zhang Liang was stunned and he understood.Ying Zheng, who was at the head, looked at Ying Xi and said Xiao He and Zhang Liang were speechless. The smile in his eyes was about to overflow.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. His Royal Highness usually doesn't have time to answer them for you."

Several people shook their heads, then bowed towards Ying Xi.

"Hearing His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion today is like enlightenment, and I suddenly become enlightened. Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ying Xi waved his hands with a smile: "Okay, why are you looking for your father?"

Li Si then said: "Your Majesty, after discussing with the few of us, we feel that the construction of the Great Wall that Your Majesty said is indeed feasible!"

Build the Great Wall?

Hearing this, Ying Xi looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng said it once before, but Ying Xi didn't expect Ying Zheng to bring it up again now. No wonder Ying Zheng hesitated a bit when he said he was going to build the canal.

Ying Zheng was very happy, but when he saw Ying Xi here, he said, "Xi'er, what do you think?"

Li Si added at this time: "His Royal Highness, what His Majesty means is that the vitality of the Donghu, Baiyue, and Dayue clans are now seriously injured, and it is a good opportunity to build the Great Wall."

"After they regain their vitality, there will be a barrier between me, Daqin, and them, so I don't have to worry about their threats anymore."

Ying Zheng nodded again and again, that's what he meant.

However, Ying Xi shook his head.

Ying Xi's reaction surprised everyone.

Whether it was Yingzheng, Li Si, Xiao He, or even Xunzi who had heard a little about the construction of the Great Wall, they all thought it was very good.

Why is Ying Xi shaking his head?
"Xi'er, you don't think so? Why?"

"Father, let me ask you first."

Ying Xi's face was solemn: "Is the territory of Daqin only this big?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, and leaned forward slightly: "Xi'er, what do you mean..."

"Although Great Qin has now unified the six kingdoms, as far as I know, the outside world is still very big!"

"If the Great Wall is built now, it will feel like a cocoon."

"What I want to see is that in the future, my Daqin flag will spread all over the world!"

Ying Xi's impassioned words made several people in the hall excited.

Ying Zheng stood up abruptly.

"Good! Well said!"

"I, Da Qin, must not stick to this!"

"The Great Wall will not be repaired for the time being!"

Li Si and the others were dumbfounded. Before Ying Xi came back, they had discussed the matter of building the Great Wall for a long time. Ying Zheng even asked them to calculate the manpower and material resources needed to build the Great Wall.

But because of Ying Xi's words, the plan that was only one step away from execution was cancelled.

The influence of His Highness the Crown Prince on His Majesty is really too great!
After Yingzheng was excited, he looked at Xunzi again: "What's the matter with Mr. Xun?"

Xunzi glanced at Ying Zheng, then at Ying Xi: "The old minister wants to ask His Majesty for an official position."

"Oh? What position?"

Yingzheng was a little surprised. He had long heard that Xunzi did not seek personal gain.

But today, he actually wants to seek an official position. Who is this for?

"Academic officer."

Xunzi said: "It will take at least two years for the people near Xianyang City to understand the New Confucianism, not to mention spreading the New Confucianism to the whole Qin Dynasty with the efforts of one veteran."
