The word "First Emperor" made Ying Zheng feel something unusual.

It was an excitement, or a father's recognition of himself. Ying Zheng couldn't speak for a long time. He looked at Fusu silently and then said, "Second Life." Fusu didn't quite understand the conversation between his eldest father and his father. When he heard his father say a strange name to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was not sure about touching his ear and asked, "Ear arrow?"

At this moment, the person who couldn't help laughing became Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo stroked his abdomen and couldn't help laughing.

Ying Zheng was particularly angry, but when he heard Zhao Kuo's laughter, he couldn't help laughing. Zhang Cang, who walked out of the inner room with the book in his hand, looked at the laughing father and son in front of him, stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and prepared to leave quietly. Zhao Kuo didn't like him to take the book back to read, because Zhao Kuo cherished books very much, so he asked Zhang Cang to read it here.

If you want to steal a book from Zhao Kuo, you can only wait for such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cang's sneaky behavior was still seen by Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo called him and called him to his side. Zhao Kuo looked at Ying Zheng, pointed at Zhang Cang beside him, and said, "If you want to accomplish something, this person can." Zhang Cang was startled. He widened his eyes and looked at Ying Zheng in front of him. Ying Zheng also looked at him. Ying Zheng understood what Zhao Kuo meant in his heart. After the unification, he would unify weights and measures and many things. Apart from Li Si, Zhang Cang's ability to do things is considered the top.

Zhang Cang possessed himself and said, "You are too proud. My talents are not as good as ordinary people. How can I accomplish anything?"

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and said, "That's a pity. He originally wanted to find a talented person to revise books from all over the world... to translate books from various countries and preserve them. Since you don't have any talent..."

"Huh? Books of books? Books in the world?" Zhang Cang suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a light. He hurriedly said, "Although my talents are not as good as ordinary people, I am still very willing to assist you in accomplishing great things!" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Kuo and asked with a smile: "How could Xunzi teach such a disciple? I think Xunzi's previous disciples were either solemn gentlemen like Li Si or steady people like Xiao..."

"Only this Cang, who is delicious and young, has many wives and concubines at home, and is so easy to behave... he doesn't look like Xunzi's disciple."

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Because Xunzi was already at the age of doing whatever he wanted when he was teaching him, he did not find a way for Cang, he just pushed Cang forward."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of the serious old man. If he was still there, what would he feel if he could see this day? Will he be excited or angry? Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Cang, what would he do if your teacher saw this scene now?"

"He will dance up and dance Zhao Wu with Wu Chenghou."

......

Zhao Kuo told Ying Zheng that unification is just the beginning, and the next is the real unification. Ying Zheng deeply agreed that the war will not break out easily in the future. But what we need to do is to replace the past system with a new system and change the current Qin State. Of course, the first thing is new titles and cumbersome etiquette issues. When talking about etiquette, one school can't help it.

Etiquette and law naturally cannot avoid the Confucian school. The relationship between Qin and Confucianism is not as rigid as the original historical line. To sum up, this is still inseparable from Zhao Kuo. Xunzi lived in Qin for a while in his later years and wrote many articles about the Qin system. Xunzi had a very high status in Confucianism. After his death, he immediately became the new Confucian saint, ranked after Confucius and Mencius, and became the third great saint of Confucianism.

This great sage is still very important. Even the schools of Confucianism that he scolded as a lowly Confucianism did not dare to disrespect him. This is probably an advantage of Confucianism. Contemporary Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette and law. Such behavior makes them not easily rude when facing those hostile sages. Of course, Mencius and Xunzi are exceptions. They scold when they want to scold, but if the rest of them want to scold, they should reach this level first and then speak, otherwise they should shut up.

In contemporary times, Zhao Kuo is probably the only one who can comment on Xunzi.

Xunzi's huge influence changed some of the Confucian prejudices against Qin, and the moral governance that Zhao Kuo later promoted in the local area made Confucianism cheer. Confucian disciples entered Qin and served as officials. They were the best candidates for the system of filial piety and brotherhood. Ying Zheng did not have any hostility to Confucianism. This was also Xunzi's contribution. Xunzi taught him a lot, which made Ying Zheng understand that he should not underestimate any school.

The relationship between Confucianism and Qin is gradually getting closer. Many hidden Confucian scholars came out to help Qin and appease the local area. They were competing with the Legalists for power in Qin. Now that they are going to formulate a new system, Confucianism is of course unable to sit still. The etiquette system is their best. Can the Legalists' arrangement be regarded as etiquette? Can the Legalists' people be regarded as human beings?

There has not been a great Confucian figure in Confucianism recently. Xunzi left, and the person who took over his position has not appeared yet. This has led to many old Confucian scholars who Xunzi once denounced to want to seize this opportunity to change some things. Most of these old Confucian scholars are remnants of Confucius' era and cannot keep up with the new era. They are full of thinking about restoring the Zhou rituals. Xunzi hates them very much and scolds them in person many times without giving face at all.

Xunzi was gone, and they poked their heads out again.

These old scholars drove to Xianyang and were talking loudly along the way, showing a sense of superiority. Faced with the Qin system, they commented on it, and the system praised by Xunzi became worthless in their mouths. With this natural sense of superiority and the mentality of being drunk and awake, they were discussing along the way how to transform the Qin system of etiquette. In the eyes of these people, the construction of etiquette in Qin is inseparable from themselves.

When they came to the outskirts of Xianyang with such superiority, they saw several old farmers far away. These old farmers were sitting on the edge of the cultivated land with a smile and chatting loudly about the autumn harvest this year. They looked very happy. An old Confucian scholar pointed at them and said, "This is the place that needs improvement. I heard that when the wise man was the king, the savages saw the wise man wearing high crowns and sitting in a carriage and would stand by the road to worship him."

"The military merit system of Qin State is rewarded with titles without morality but with courage, which may be changed."

Hearing them talking loudly, the old farmers raised their heads and looked at them. One of them asked, "Where did the guests come from?"

The old scholar asked the driver to stop. Although these people were pedantic, they still strictly abide by etiquette. Since the host came to ask about the guests' situation, they could not stop and return the gift. This was probably a complex thing. They were very arrogant and looked down on the lower class of common people, but they strictly abide by etiquette and law and would not attack and bully others at will... A few people got off the carriage and met these old farmers.

After meeting each other, the old Confucian scholar smiled and said, "I don't mean to offend you. If you hear what I said just now, please don't blame me."

The old farmer sitting in the middle shook his head and said, "Don't be surprised," then invited them to sit down and let the people beside him give them water. These old Confucian scholars refused to sit on the soil, spread the seats, and then sat seriously. They also wanted to know some of the situation in Qin State from these farmers. They drank the master's water and said politely: "We came this time to persuade the King of Qin to restore the former system and perform the Zhou rituals."

"Zhou Li? Zhou Li has advantages and disadvantages. I think it is still very good." One of the old farmers with gray hair said with a smile.

"Oh??You know the etiquette too?"

"The foolish man in the country knows not much, he knows a little."

"Why do you say that Zhou Li has shortcomings?"

"Since you are a Confucian scholar, please let me tell you with Confucius. Confucius pays attention to benevolence and etiquette... The two and the three sons came for etiquette. What is Confucius's purpose of etiquette? I think it is for stability... He wants to use a set of etiquette to restrain people in the world, so that they can stop killing each other and stop violating etiquette. He will call acts that are not moral, unstable and unfavorable to the world irrespectful."

"Where is what he said about Zhou rituals. The great way is smooth, the world is the public, the selection of wise and capable, faith and harmony, is this a scene that can be seen in the Zhou Dynasty? This is just what Confucius wanted to see a world. He proposed rituals and the Legalists proposed laws. This is essentially the same, and they all restrict people's behavior... The Legalists' continuous progress over the years is to modify their own laws and formulate laws that are more conducive to stability and the world based on development. So why do the two and three sons indulge in the past rituals without improving them?"

"Use the law and etiquette to tell the people of the world what to do and what not to do, one binds the body and the other binds the heart..."

The old farmer talked freely, from Confucius talking about Mencius and Xunzi, when he talked about Xunzi, he became a little more talked about. He said, "Xunzi is the one who can see the most thoroughly, so you see that the disciples he taught have all started to study the law... The second and third sons came this time, if they were to persuade the King of Qin to use the feudal system to get him to the altar and seal the mountain, and to imitate the Emperor of Zhou to restore the well-field system and the ritual and music system... Then go back."

"I predict that the King of Qin would not listen to these things. The King of Qin completed the great unification, and the old era and the old system have passed..."

"Of course, if you come to persuade the King of Qin to implement the kindness and rituals of Zhou, comfort the widows and help the poor, that would be a good thing." During the Zhou Dynasty, there was the most simple national welfare system. From the Zhou emperor to the princes, they would relieve the widows under their rule every year, and sometimes they would set up welfare homes similar to those in later generations... However, the Qin State abandoned these, and the Spartan society did not need mercy and relief.

The old Confucian scholars gradually became a little confused when they listened to the old farmer talking about Confucius to Xunzi, from ritual to law, from Legalism to Legalism, from Mohism, criticizing Taoism, and even peasant, doctor, Yin and Yang and other schools. They looked at the old farmer in front of them, their lips were a little dry, and they hurriedly asked someone to pour some water for themselves. Is the cultural level of Qin so high? An old farmer who farmed outside Xianyang said that he was speechless?

If you enter Xianyang, how much humiliation will you suffer.

They looked at each other and looked at each other. Although they didn't say it clearly, they were probably a little scared. Or should we go back?

When the old farmer finished speaking all his thoughts, the old scholars looked at him with a little different eyes. One of them asked carefully: "I never thought there were lost talent like you on the road. I wonder how the talent in Xianyang is compared to you?"

"I am just a farmer, how can I compare to those talents?"

Several Confucian scholars understood, and they stood up and bowed to the old farmer, and then said, "Thank you for your teachings. If it weren't for you, we would be insulted to go to Xianyang." They thanked the old farmer, and then got in the car and prepared to leave, but the old farmer called them and said, "Xianyang is over there."

"After you say this, we no longer want to go to Xianyang."

"What is this? I heard that people with ambition can die for their ambitions. Did the two and three sons not even have the courage to try? I don't know their mistakes, so how can I improve them?" The old farmer suddenly frowned, and his temperament changed suddenly. The old Confucian scholars changed their expressions. They hurriedly got off the car and met again, calling the old farmer a teacher. They did not dare to get on the car again, and walked towards Xianyang.

After seeing them off, Zhao Kuo sat down angrily and said to Zhan beside him: "After Xunzi leaves, the people who can inherit him will have to wait for how many years before they can come out!"

Ying Zheng had long known that the great scholars from many Confucian schools came to Xianyang. Han Fei told Ying Zheng: "Confucianism is all borers. They do not know the changes of the times, they only know how to recall false legends that do not exist, and require people today to live like that. What they bring is not development but regression. If such people come to you, please let the warriors beat them out with sticks!"

Even Li Si, who was born in Confucianism, said bluntly; "The Confucian ritual system is cumbersome and useless."

Therefore, when these great scholars came to the palace, the King of Qin called Han Fei. He couldn't just come to confront a school. After all, he still needed Confucian officials, but Han Fei could confront them. Unlike in imagination, these great scholars seemed very cautious. Well, they were very scared. When they learned that the person around them was Han Feizi, who was famous all over the world, they were even more so, with pale faces and trembling all over.

An old farmer outside Xianyang said that he was covering his face and leaving. So how scary should Han Feizi be?

They were very restrained and very careful and put forward their own ideas, asking the King of Qin to help the orphans on time, save lives and help the wounded, establish a welfare home, and take care of the vulnerable groups in the country, hoping to exempt the taxes of the disabled...

Ying Zheng widened his eyes and looked at Han Fei who was beside him in confusion. Han Fei was also surprised at this moment.
