Qin Dynasty snare people

A few rays of sunlight passed through the bamboo forest and scattered inside the house.

The breeze blows slowly, and the sound of interlacing bamboo leaves ripples in my ears, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

At this moment, Luo Yan was kneeling down in front of Xunzi meticulously. He paid enough respect to this old Confucian, not only because of his identity, but also because he had helped him. The empire's Xuanhuang Academy could A large part of the reason for such rapid development is because of Xunzi.

Without Xunzi's help, those Confucian disciples would not have joined Xuanhuang Academy so easily.

Xunzi is a little older than he was more than ten years ago, but he is still in good spirits. His eyes are bright, he caressed his white beard, and looked at Luo Yan: You have done well these years, and it is not in vain that I helped you.

This matter is also thanks to the seniors. Without the help of the seniors, Xuanhuang Academy would not have developed in just a dozen years.

Luo Yan said humbly.

There was a smile in Xunzi's eyes. He looked at Luo Yan with admiration and said lightly: I'm just helping you. What happens next depends on you.

He had watched the development of Xuanhuang Academy over the years, and it was obvious that Luo Yan's performance exceeded his expectations.

Perhaps in the near future, learning calligraphy and reading will no longer be a dream for everyone.

The ideals pursued by Confucians for hundreds of years will also be realized.

Senior is so complimentary.

You didn't come to Confucianism just to talk about these things.

Xunzi stroked his white beard gently, his eyes flashed, he looked at Luo Yan, and said with a very firm tone. Although he had not had much contact with Luo Yan, observing Luo Wen's past behavior, it was impossible for him to just come to pay a visit. Coupled with what happened in Songhai City recently, he also had some speculations in his mind.

I still can't hide it from my predecessors. The empire wants to take action against hundreds of schools of thought. After the Mohists, there will be the Confucians. Li Si's trip is for the Little Sage Village.

Luo Yan pondered for a moment, looked a little more serious, and said slowly.

Xunzi was silent for a moment, and his tone was calm: Is this your idea or the intention of His Majesty the First Emperor?

He did not ask Li Si. As Li Si's teacher, Xunzi knew Li Si very well. With Li Si's character, it was impossible for him to make such a suggestion. It was not that Li Si did not have such courage, but that Li Si's mentality of worrying about gains and losses made it impossible for him. He rashly attacked Confucianism.

Secondly, whether Li Si has the ability to make a serious decision about such a decision.

What's more.

Luo Yan was already sitting opposite him, and this was already obvious.

My idea is that the world has been unified. Writing, currency, weights and measures, etc. have all been unified. Now there are only a hundred schools of thought left. The Mohists are colluding with the remnants of the six countries. The Taoists are also involved, and there are no politicians or farmers. Even Zhang Liang, the third leader of Confucianism, missed this opportunity.

The world is finally at peace, but some people always hope that the war will rekindle. In this case, it would be better to cleanse all the schools of thought.

The inheritance continues, but in the future, there will no longer be distinctions between sects and schools of thought in the world.

Only the academy lasts forever.

Everyone in the world can learn the knowledge of various schools of thought from the academy. In the future, such academy will spring up like bamboo shoots across the empire.

A hundred years later, the world will enter a truly peaceful and prosperous age.

Luo Yan didn't coax or refute, he admitted it openly. Anyone with a discerning eye would know whose idea it was, and there was no need for him to dare to admit it.

Of course, this matter in the history books must have nothing to do with someone from Luo. How could he be such a cruel and murderous person?

Xunzi looked calm and did not seem to be surprised by Luo Yan's words. He stroked his white beard with his palm and said slowly: I have heard about the rapid development of Xuanhuang Academy in recent years. I have long expected this day. You don’t need to ask me for my opinion. Confucianism has never been a sect, and the so-called schools of thought are just names given by others.

From its inception, the fundamental purpose of Confucianism was to educate the world and spread concepts such as etiquette, justice, integrity, and morality.

Since the Academy has inherited Confucian ideas, it doesn't matter whether Confucianism still exists.

Luo Yan was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect Xunzi to be so calm in the face of this matter, and even accepted it calmly. He seemed to have underestimated Xunzi's pattern, but in an instant he also figured out that for a figure like Xunzi, how could he If he really cared about the sect, he would not teach two great talents of Legalism.

Today's Confucianism is not like the Confucianism of later generations. It is extremely open-minded and does not reject the ideas of other hundreds of schools of thought.

With the words of senior, junior will feel relieved.

Luo Yan looked a little more relaxed and chuckled.

I don't care about this, it doesn't mean that the rest of the Confucian family doesn't care. Now the head of the Confucian family is Fu Nian. His character has always been rigid and serious, and he doesn't know how to adapt. You may be able to convince me, but you may not be able to convince him. If he is determined Even I can't change his mind. It's up to you how to deal with it.

I won't ask anything about this matter.

Xunzi said lightly that he was old and could not withstand the hardships. In the remaining years, he still wanted to read a few more books and study the art of Go. As for the empire or the various schools of thought, he was still young. What does human affairs have to do with him being a bad old man?

Therefore, Xunzi took these things very lightly. As he got older, he could see through many things.

…

After coming out of Xunzi's side, Luo Yan's face felt a lot more relaxed. He didn't expect that the trip would go so smoothly. As long as Xunzi didn't interfere in this matter, it would be easy to handle.

Li Si led people to attack, and when Confucianism could no longer support it, Luo Yan stood up and made peace, giving Confucianism a way out, and the matter was basically settled.

When he walked out of the bamboo forest, he saw Fu Nian standing on the mountainside waiting for him.

Mr. Fu Nian, you have been waiting for a long time.

Luo Yan walked over, cupped his hands and chuckled.

Fu Nian returned the gift and said matter-of-factly: You are a guest from afar, as it should be.

Are you a visitor from afar? If you are a bad visitor, what are Mr. Fu Nian's plans?

Luo Yan paused, looked at Fu Nian calmly, and asked in a solemn voice.

Bad visitor? !

Fu Nian was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Luo Yan was not joking, he frowned and asked in a deep voice, I wonder what King Yueyang meant by this?

Li Si's trip is to destroy Confucianism. If Confucianism does not want to follow in the footsteps of Mohism, it should have made plans early.

Luo Yan sighed softly and said with compassion.

Fu Nian's expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked in confusion: Why did Li Si want to destroy Confucianism? Is this the intention of His Majesty the First Emperor?

The world is unified, and all the schools of thought also need to be integrated. Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish. This is the attitude of the empire. This matter has been decided and no one can change it. If Mr. Fu Nian blindly resists, it will only destroy the entire world. Confucianism has fallen in, causing the entire Little Sage Village to be devastated. I don't want to see this scene, so I hope Mr. Fu Nian can choose the second path and let Confucianism integrate into Xuanhuang Academy.

In this way, the inheritance of Confucianism can be ensured and the current disaster can be solved.

Luo Yan said calmly.

This trip can be regarded as a courtesy first, then a soldier. Everything that needs to be said is clearly stated, giving Fu Nian and others time to think about it. For Confucianism, it is best not to move if you can, otherwise the impact will be too great.

Confucianism is not rebellious, should the empire still do so?

Fu Nian asked in a deep voice.

The empire is considering the Confucianism of the future, not the Confucianism of the present. Today's Confucianism, led by Mr. Fu Nian, will naturally not be rebellious, but what about the future? The influence of Confucianism on scholars all over the world must not be necessary. I will go into too much detail, and no one can guarantee that Confucianism will always be like this.

Just like when Confucianism was founded by Confucius and others, how could one have imagined that Confucianism would develop into what it is now.

How much of the thoughts from the founding of Confucianism are left in Confucianism now?

Everything is advancing with the times.

In the same way, Confucianism will not be the same as today's Confucianism a hundred years later. The empire needs to consider these things, which is the ultimate reason for taking action against various schools of thought.

The empire's plans are not in the present, but in the future.

Luo Yan said seriously. This was also the reason why he suggested that Ying Zheng do this. If he hadn't considered the future of Confucianism, how could he be so troubled? Wouldn't it be nice to drink tea with Yan Lingji in his arms during this time?

He was really worried about saving future generations from taking detours.

After all, it is a time travel, and there are still things that need to be considered. Everything he says and does will have a huge impact on the future. Fortunately, he has done everything he can.

Fu Nian was silent. Luo Yan said this, how could he refute it.

What the empire wants to deal with is the Confucianism of the future and has nothing to do with the Confucianism of the present. What can the Confucianists do if this kind of desire is a crime?

Mr. Fu Nian might as well think about it. In a few days, the Mohist giant will be executed. When the Mo family is in trouble, Li Si will bring people to Xiaoshengxian Manor. What I can do is to give the Confucians a way out, Mr. Fu Nian If you had planned ahead, Li Si is ruthless and not as easy to talk to as I am, and I don’t want this little Saint’s Manor to be burned down.”

Luo Yan sighed softly, as if he had a premonition of the future of Little Saint Xian Manor.

This is no longer a premonition of the future, it is no different from a threat, but Luo Yan said it more euphemistically, how could Fu Nian not hear the meaning in his words.

The empire is offering courtesy first and then fighting. Any so-called visits to old friends are all fake.

The so-called escape route is just to merge Confucianism into Xuanhuang Academy. What is the difference between this and severing the inheritance of Confucianism?

At this moment, Fu Nian had a new understanding of this highly respected King Yueyang.

Fu Nian pondered for a while and said: I can't make up my mind on this matter. I still need to ask my uncle.

Senior Xunzi has no objection to this matter. As long as Mr. Fu Nian agrees, it will be settled.

Luo Yan chuckled.

...

Fu Nian's pupils shrank and he looked at Luo Yan, a little unbelievable for a moment. Does Uncle Master really not care about the survival of Confucianism?

If Mr. Fu Nian doesn't believe it, you can ask Senior Xunzi.

Luo Yan made a gesture of invitation to Fu Nian.

Now that Xunzi's attitude is known, half of the matter for Confucianism has been solved. Without him, Xunzi's identity is too special, and he can't be touched at all. Once he is moved, Ying Zheng will not be able to protect Li Si. Of course, after this trip, , Li Si can no longer stay in the empire.

The guilt of destroying hundreds of schools of thought is really not small. This matter has been hidden from some teachers in Xuanhuang Academy. They must be given an explanation afterwards.

Li Si naturally became cannon fodder.

As a reward, the empire will give him a fiefdom. The outside world is so big. Li Si can get any piece of land he wants, and the empire will help him.

Uncle Master...Fu Nian already knew the outcome in his heart, and his face became increasingly gloomy, but he did not show it in front of Luo Yan: There is still some time before the imperial visit, so we should first entertain the guests.

He is worthy of being a master of Confucianism. His expression remains unchanged even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

Luo Yan joked.

But Fu Nian couldn't laugh. He didn't like to reveal his inner thoughts to the surface. Now, he could only go on bravely. , if it can bear it, Confucianism can continue to exist; if it cannot bear it, Confucianism will really disappear.

Confucianism can join the empire.

Fu Nian said tentatively.

Luo Yan shook his head and spoke out the true purpose of the empire: The empire wants to deal with not just Confucianism, but all the schools of thought, whether they join the empire or not. From now on, the empire will There will be no schools of thought within the territory, let alone so-called sects.

Fu Nian was silent. The empire's ambition and appetite were really too great.

…

Returning to Xiaoshengxian Manor from the back mountain, when Luo Yan, Honglian and others met, Fu Nian handed over the reception of the guests to Zhang Liang, and returned to the back mountain again. He needed to see Xunzi again. Asking why, does Master Shi really not care about the survival of Confucianism?

The fruits of the hard work of so many Confucian disciples before and after are now being given away like this?

Fu Nian thought he couldn't do it.

Meet sir.

Zhang Liang had a faint smile on his lips and bowed his hands to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: We are all old acquaintances, why do we need to be like this? You know, I always don't like these red tapes. We won't talk about business during this trip, only about romance. You can also stay in Songhai City, Zifang. It’s been many years, but do you know where I can find good food and wine?”

Hearing this, Honglian also blinked her eyes and looked at Zhang Liang expectantly. She was also a little hungry.

When it comes to delicious food and wine, the craftsmanship of the purple girl is the best.

Zhang Liang looked at Zi Nu and smiled.

Zi Nu and Nong Yu covered their mouths and chuckled, while Hong Lian looked at Zhang Liang in a funny way and joked: Xiao Liangzi, when did your mouth become so sweet? Tell me honestly, did you learn bad things from Confucianism?

I'm just telling the truth. Compared with the food and wine in Songhai City, the food from my hometown is the most delicious.

Zhang Liang said softly with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.

After the words fell, the scene instantly became quiet. Zhang Liang's so-called hometown is naturally Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, but today's Xinzheng is no longer the Xinzheng it once was.

The past will never come back, seize the present and look forward to the future.

Luo Yan was silent for a moment, reached out and patted Zhang Liang's shoulder, and said seriously.

He hoped that Zhang Liang would not follow Han Fei's path.

Han Fei had no choice, but Zhang Liang could find another way. It was not too late.
