Chapter 62

"The king wants me to visit Xunzi by myself?" When the carriage was parked in front of an inconspicuous inn, the purple woman in the carriage struggled.

"Before Xunqiu accepting you as a disciple, you must first understand your qualifications and abilities. I can help you with other things, but in the end, you must do this matter yourself. This is the respect you deserve to have as a disciple to the teacher." Ying Zheng explained while helping Zi Nu comb her messed hair on the road.

"Can the king go with me?" Zi Nu hesitated.

"Why, we, Miss Zi, are you scared?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh at Zi Nu's anxiety.

"Yes, I'm really a little scared, afraid of disappointing the king." Zi Nu said biting her lips.

Although Xunzi's status is high, it does not make Zi Nu so worried about gains and losses, but Ying Zheng is different.

Zi Nu knew that for her, whether she could be a disciple of Xunzi or not, it was not that important. Although she was happy to succeed, she would not care too much about failure.

But Ying Zheng is different. She doesn't want to disappoint Ying Zheng after all.

"You are too worried. I am very confident about you, and you should also believe in yourself. You are a purple girl and are also someone I value. Do you think I will misjudgment?" Ying Zheng said.

"I hope so." Zi Nu took a deep breath, lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

It was not until Zi Nu's figure disappeared at the gate of the inn that Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze. In fact, he had one more thing he had not told Zi Nu that he had asked Zi Nu to visit Xunzi himself, and there was another reason.

He gave Xunzi a chance to test Zi Nu, and also gave himself a chance to test Xunzi, and Zi Nu was the question.

If Xunzi could put aside the existing traditional concepts at this time, break the existing Confucian sect rules, and sincerely accept Zi Nu as a disciple, Xunzi would be worthy of Ying Zheng's greater efforts in him. If he had to do so just because of the transaction, then when Xunzi counted and sorted out the calligraphy scripts in Xianyang, his role would be over.

Confucianism can be used, but corrupt scholars cannot.

Ying Zheng, who withdrew his gaze, fell into deep thought. The matter in South Korea was almost over. After the matter of Xunzi was handled, he should leave here and return to Xianyang.

In the next five years, he does not intend to do anything big, but there is one thing that must be done. This thing itself is not important to Qin, but it is very important to Ying Zheng.

Because he learned from Li Xin that King Mu of Zhou traveled westward until the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there was a scandal with the Queen Mother of Kunlun West.

However, when King Mu of Zhou ascended the Kunlun Mountains, he found that the world behind Kunlun Mountains was nothingness and darkness. Li Xin's ancestors were one of the people who accompanied King Mu of Zhou at that time, and his experiences about that journey west were also passed down from generation to generation among the Li Xin clan.

Ying Zheng, who is familiar with geography, is very clear about what kind of world the world behind Kunlun Mountain should be, but the news Li Xin told him broke Ying Zheng's existing cognition.

Kunlun Mountain is the end of this world. In Ying Zheng's opinion, this is too fantasy. Moreover, Ying Zheng also knew that about twenty years later, a team of scattered soldiers from the far west would be lost in the desert and rescued by the wolf clan Shanyu Touman at that time.

Ying Zheng’s view of human nature was directly related to the future rule of Qin. Xunzi had to understand this point so that he could consider his future plans.

"Whether it is Mencius's human nature is good or Mr.'s human nature is evil, it seems to be right in the eyes of I. Human nature is no different from good or evil, it is nothing but the environment. Moreover, I believe that not only I think so, Mr. should also think so, and even Mencius think so." Ying Zheng's answer was obviously beyond Xunzi's expectations.

"How can I explain this?" Xunqiu said with a frown.

It’s not because Ying Zheng’s answer cannot satisfy Xunzi, but because Ying Zheng’s answer is touching the biggest secret in his heart.

"If it weren't for the environment, whether it was Mencius or Mr., why did you establish so many theories to try to shape an ideal world in this way? The theory of temperament has always been your means, not your purpose."

Xunqiu could not sit still at this time because he suddenly realized that he had no secret in front of Ying Zheng.

"Then I wonder what the king thinks of Dharma and Confucianism?" Xunzi couldn't help but say.

"The Legalists use the law to stop evil, and the Confucians use virtue to promote good. I don't know that the answer to loneliness may satisfy the teacher?" Ying Zheng replied.

"A good answer, there are no more than five people in the world who can see this." Xun Zhi sighed long.

With the simple twelve words, how many people can understand it. Even his two most proud disciples were unable to see through this at this time. Even in Xunzi's opinion, Li Si may not understand it in his whole life. Even Han Fei would have difficulty seeing it clearly without decades of hard work.
