Chapter 89 Major Events
"The prince said: In the future, Yingdu will be in chaos, please wait." In the Yin Mansion of the City, Shen Yong whispered to Jing Hua's previous discussion results.
On the side of the case, Jing Hua was no longer as energetic as before, but was depressed and his eyes were covered with blood. In the past few days, he kept reviewing the battle in Panjiangyi. The more he reviewed, the more he felt that the Qin army was extremely brave and that breaking the formation was inevitable.
"Why should I sit and watch?" Jing Hua's dead eyes suddenly shone with some light. "The Chu State is like this today because it is not changing the law. If you want to reform, you must rely on the new king. The eldest son is young and it is difficult to take on his position."
"General agrees?!" The change in the matter was unexpected. Shen Yong looked at Jing Hua seriously to confirm the authenticity of his words.
"Yeah." Jing Hua dropped the chess piece used as a formation in his hand. "Then the prince must keep his words in mind and reform the State of Chu."
Jing Hua did not look at Shen Yong when he was talking. After seeing him not answering, he turned to look at him and asked, "No?"
"Yes, yes." Shen Yong nodded repeatedly, his heart was ups and downs, and he didn't know how to talk about Yang Wenjun.

"Blue is taken from blue, and blue is blue; ice is made from water, and cold is made from water. The wood is straight in the middle rope, and the wheel is directly considered as a wheel, and the curve is in the middle. Even if there are dry and violent things and no longer stand up, it is just a matter of making it..."
Another day's coursework began in the Eastern Palace. Xiong Jing learned the Encouragement Chapter when he was in middle school. There was a passage that he still recited the key points, but what he had been confused before was just for exams, but now he reads it with a different taste:
What encourages learning is to say, "A gentleman cannot learn it," and the sages also learn to become saints. The so-called "You cannot succeed without learning, Yao learns from the kingdom, Shun learns from the affairs of affairs, and Yu learns from the Western Kingdom" ("Basic chapter"). However, even saints only "the way of heaven is constant, and they do not exist for Yao, and they do not perish for Jie ("Bing Zheng")". If this is the case, what is the benefit of learning?
Xunzi's articles are gorgeous, but the logic of thought is really not satisfactory. However, the saying that human nature is evil is that "human nature is evil, and good is false." "Fake" means that people are born evil, and good is the result of the education of acquired saints; then "fake arises and propriety is born with etiquette and righteousness, and propriety is born with laws and regulations." With education, etiquette is produced, and with etiquette, laws and regulations are formulated.
This looks very similar to Christianity. That is, you have sins (evil nature) when you are born, and only God (saint) can forgive your sins. But unlike Christianity, as long as any sinner converts to God devoutly, the pastor will listen to his confession and lead him to goodness; the saints are not liked by a gentleman, not by a gentleman; they teach him, bring thieves and borrow thieves ("Grammar"). It means that those who do not love gentlemen are not ideal students; to teach such non-ideal students, they are giving food to thieves and lending weapons to robbers, so the saints have something to teach and don't teach.
In the middle court, Xiong Jing, who was memorizing the chanting and encouraging the study, was talking about it while memorizing it. He didn't like the truth mentioned in Xunzi's articles and felt that he was wasting his time. Outside the middle court, Mi Yu was waiting uneasy.
"Good." After hearing the student recited the Encouragement Chapter without missing a word, Xunzi expressed some satisfaction. However, although this student was smart, he could not grasp what he was thinking after his black eyes. After nodding, Xunzi asked, "I heard that Zi Jing killed the rabbit and was shocked by the horse. Is this a matter?"
"I'm going to know this." The incident of killing rabbits spread throughout the palace the day before yesterday, but Xunzi also knew it.
"This is unkind." Xiong Jing lowered his head and looked over from above. Xunqiu could only see the top of his head.
"Reply to the teacher: I am really unkind." Xiong Jing looked very educated and just wanted to finish class early.
"Zi Jing is the eldest son, and he will be the king in the future. He should be kind to the hearts of those who are benevolent when encountering things. A king, benevolence and righteousness should be strong in the world, and do he also have the power to the world. Do Zi Jing know?" Xunzi said again.
"在" means superiority. Confucianism focuses on benevolence and righteousness without any surprises, but mentioning "power is higher than the world" is considered a feature of Xunzi. Unlike Mencius's "noble king and lowly domineering", Xunzi believed that "righteousness is established and king, trust is established and domineering" is equivalent to recognizing domineering and no longer repelling domineering like Mencius.
"Reply to the teacher: Students know." Xiong Jingtou was still lowered, and she still hoped that the get out of class would be over soon.
"That is, is it feasible?" I wonder if I noticed Xiong Jing's thoughts, Xunzi just won't be dismissed.
"Master, should students do the kingly or domineering?" Xiong Jing raised his head, Xunqiu was old, but his eyes were not turbid.
"What do Zi Jing think?" Xun Zi suddenly laughed.
‘… Although we do not seek, it is difficult to avoid the troubles of Germany. This is true. The future of Germany does not lie in Prussian liberalism, but in power.…The current major problems cannot be solved by speeches and majority resolutions—this is the mistake made in 1848 and 1849—to solve it with iron and blood.’
Bismarck's speech on Iron and Blood in 1862 suddenly popped up in his mind. Xiong Jing unconsciously recited silently. His voice was so small that Xunzi only heard "...only with Iron and Blood".
"Teacher, students think that only domineering can be used in this world." Xiong Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Doing domineering cannot last for a long time." Xunqiu nodded, then shook his head. "In today's world, we must be generous and respecting the law, and we must use both kings and domineering. Zi Jing only uses domineering and does not respect the king's way, and the world cannot be one."
"Teacher, the student will become the king of Chu in the future. He will have no other requests except to recover the former land of Chu." Xiong Jing said.
"If the world is not united, how can the war stop?" Xunzi smiled again.
"Teacher, the world is as if it is one. Later generations will forget to fight and will be in danger. Moreover, the northwest is not connected to the sea, so it's better not to do so." Xiong Jing said again.
"Don't reach the sea? Haha." Xun Qiong smiled even more, and then felt that it was too early to talk to students about the way to govern the country, so he got up and got out of class.
It was the winter evening moon (October), and the wind seemed to become sharp overnight. Winter was coming soon, but Xiong Jing's so-called sea ship is still on the drawings. No one can foresee the impact of sea ships on the whole world after they go into the sea.
"Meet..." After Xunqiu left, Mi Qi stepped forward to worship, and Xiong Jing stopped her.
"What's the matter with a mother?" Chu Yu was different from elegant words, so he didn't call him sister but was called him mother.
"I heard from Qi Yue that there may be something big in Yingdu." Mi Qi was a little anxious, and she came back directly from outside the palace.
"Maybe there is a big deal? What kind of big deal?" Xiong Jing was a little confused.
"That's right, that's right..." Mi Qi said in anger for no reason, and finally said: "The father is dead, someone..."
"What?!" Xiong Jing was stunned for a moment, "What did you say, what did you say?"
"They said that the father's king has passed away," Mi Yu began to cry when he talked about the father's king, "Someone wants to kill the lord."
"Want to kill the regency?" Xiong Jing was stunned for a while before turning around: If the father's king really dies, he is the King of Chu, and killing the regency means killing himself. He grabbed Mi Yu, his knuckles turned a little white, and he asked anxiously: "Who wants to kill the regency? But Huang Xie?"
"I don't know who it is." The news I got from Qing Yue was very limited, and Mi Qing only knew that someone wanted to kill his younger brother.
"Where does the news come from? Don't miss it from beginning to end, tell me all." Xiong Jing tried his best to calm down, but he couldn't calm down. He completely forgot that Mi Yu said the news was said by Qi Yue at the beginning. After Mi Yu finished everything, he urgently summoned Deng Sui and Cai Bao to discuss it, and also summoned Wang Yin, the officials in the palace, the palace maids and temple masters, all of whom were managed by him.
Without saying that his father had passed away, Xiong Jingjian briefly told the matter, and then asked, "What do you think?"
The prince solemnly summoned himself, and the matter was serious, regardless of whether it was true or false. Fortunately, the prince lived in the palace and murder was not that simple. Cai Bao said: "Please do not leave the palace again. The palace is not a teacher from the Eastern Palace, but a sanitation man in red, and a temple master. The palace wall is four feet and eight feet, so ordinary people cannot come in."
"That's right." Wang Yin immediately agreed, and he was a little panicked. "If there are not enough disciples in the palace, please ask General Jing to condemn others to guard..."
"No." Cai Bao interrupted. "If General Jing is asked to send someone into the palace, the thieves will know. We should be on guard secretly, guard the palace gate after the incident, and then attack the left army in front and behind. The thieves will be defeated."
"I heard that the army of Jiangdong is coming." Deng Sui was silent until the end. The atmosphere in the room was tense, and the cold wind outside the hall was pouring in. Everyone trembled, their eyes were stammering and looked at each other.
