Chapter 3 This is a thorn

"Let's talk about Mencius today!"

The sunshine in Ghost Valley is very warm, and the wind blows gently, bringing a refreshing feeling on this hot summer day.

Zhao Shuang yawned and turned his head bored.

On the side, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were paying attention to Xun Kuang's class.At this time, they still looked like teenagers, but they faintly looked like heroes who would rule the world in the future.

Guigu's teachers are strong, although Guiguzi has only accepted two disciples, but besides Guiguzi, anyone who teaches these two disciples is a big shot who can shock the world.

Ever since he was caught by Xun Kuang that day, he insisted that he was missing a school boy, and Zhao Shuang was pleasing to the eye, so he requisitioned him on the spot.

Zhao Shuang was very depressed, his appearance was not pleasing to the eye.Of course, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

It's just that Zhao Shuang couldn't figure it out, why did he have to go to class with him?

I am most annoyed at class.

"Master!"

In the middle of Xun Kuang's speech, Wei Zhuang, a thorn in his side, started to get into trouble.

"What's the matter?"

"Just now the Master said that 'he who uses strength to pretend to be benevolent will become a hegemon, and hegemony will lead to a great country'. I am puzzled."

Xun Kuang didn't get angry when someone interrupted him.He is just a visiting professor, and his subordinates are not Confucian disciples, so they don't need to abide by Confucian etiquette.

"What's the puzzle?"

"Since the Jin Kingdom was divided into three parts, countries have reformed one after another. The power of offense and defense only lies in the people, cities, fields, and taxes. Can it be in benevolence and righteousness?"

Xun Kuang was very satisfied to meet such a studious and thoughtful student, and stroked his beard, not paying any attention to Wei Zhuang's contradictory words.

That is impossible!

But Xun Kuang didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, with a famous teacher like him, the more thorny the student, the more interesting he was.

"what do y'all think?"

"I also think Xiao Zhuang is right."

Gai Nie's voice made Zhao Shuang couldn't help but smile.

The academic viewpoints of the various schools of thought are not the same, and some are even completely opposite.

Zhao Shuang didn't understand why Xun Kuang came to Guigu?Of course, Xunzi only came to teach, not to accept disciples.

However, this is still a bit strange.

You, a Confucian sage, come to teach benevolence and righteousness to two political strategists?

What's the difference between this and smashing the field?

The vertical and horizontal duo have always been at odds, but now, Gai Nie, who has always been gentle, can't help but side with Wei Zhuang.

"Xiao Shuang, what do you think?"

"Benevolence and righteousness are swords, and it is possible to combine countries and cities without the need for armor."

Zhao Shuang's words attracted Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's attention.

Xun Kuang, on the other hand, did not show much surprise.

If it were any other great Confucian, after hearing Zhao Shuang's words, he would have to scold his head and face, and say something like a child can't be taught.

Although Xun Kuang was known as a Confucian sage, he was a different kind. The few disciples he taught, famous ones such as Han Fei and Li Si, were all Legalists.

"Why?"

"'Benevolence is based on forgiveness, and righteousness is based on faith'. At that time, Guanzi used the technique of severity to help Qi 'union the nine princes, and one governs the world'. Qi Huan merged the country 35 years ago, but the name of benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world. Renyi is the sword , Is it possible?"

Xun Kuang frowned slightly. One must know that Duke Huan of Qi, the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period, had often criticized him.

Duke Huan of Qi has a lot of bright spots, and even more black stuff.He didn't listen to Guan Zhong's last words, and appointed Yi Ya and Diao Shu as prime ministers, almost ruining the state of Qi.

With the help of a group of dutiful sons, the body was not even collected after death, which is even more embarrassing.

Zhao Shuang's statement is a new way of thinking for Xunzi.

wrong!

Xunzi thought about it carefully, the boy's words were secretly hurtful, quite mean, even more thorny than Wei Zhuang!

As soon as he said this, Ge Nie raised his head slightly, his eyes sparkling; Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes even more, looking at the unattractive little fat man beside him, his face was a bit complicated.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang have always wondered why their teacher would let an outsider into Ghost Valley to study with them.

Now, they kind of understand.

"That's all for today's homework."

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised, Xun Kuang was a little absent-minded today, as if his mind was not on the lecture.

But Zhao Shuang didn't care either. After Xunzi finished speaking, he jumped up, swayed his fat body, and went to eat without any nostalgia.

"how?"

Guiguzi had his hands behind his back, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang stood behind.Guiguzi didn't say what it was, but the two of them already knew it.

"Who is he?"

Wei Zhuang's expression was very serious. Although they had been together for nearly three months, they didn't know the identity of this little fat man at all.

"Does it matter who he is?"

Guiguzi asked back.

"For future opponents, of course it is important."

There was a raging fire in Wei Zhuang's heart, and few people could make him feel hostility and admiration at the same time.

Gai Nie is one, and this little fat man is another.

"Nie Er, what do you think?"

"The apprentice also wants to know."

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are basically the same kind of people, they seem gentle, but their competitive spirit is no less than that of Wei Zhuang.

"The cone is in the bag, you will know sooner or later, all go down!"

Guiguzi didn't reveal it, but Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were a little bit unwilling and retreated.

"What a whetstone."

Xunzi smiled slightly and walked out from the side.

What kind of person is Xunzi?When I first met Zhao Shuang, I knew that someone was setting up a trick, and I also understood who was setting up a trick.

Guigu has only accepted two disciples in the past dynasties.

It's just the love of talent, both Guiguzi and Xunzi have it.

Guiguzi needs a legitimate excuse to let Zhao Shuang enter Guigu.

"Zhao Laosi, this old guy, has been retreating to the valley since the Chu State was completely defeated in Nanjun. Unexpectedly, he set up this game to lure me into the bait."

Zhao Laosi hoped that the unicorn talent in the family would be taught by a famous teacher, Guiguzi wanted this whetstone to sharpen his two disciples, but Xunzi couldn't bear the thought of this good talent wandering among bandits all day long and wasting his talent .

"Grandfather fishes, and those who wish will take the bait. If you don't want to, who can persecute you?"

Guiguzi smiled and told the truth.

"Forget it! March is approaching, I originally wanted to bring Zhao Shuang back to Xiaoshengxian Village, and teach him again. But something happened suddenly, and I had to rush back to Qi State as soon as possible. It would be inconvenient to take him, so I will take him away for the time being." Stay in Ghost Valley!"

"Is he going out of the mountain?"

Guiguzi's complexion changed, and he seemed to understand, what is the urgent matter Xunzi was talking about?

"The Xiang clan has frequently been in and out of Osprey Mountain recently, and he is a little moved."

Xunzi sighed slightly and shook his head.

"If everyone in this world could be as optimistic as Zhao Laosi, there wouldn't be so many disputes in this world."

"Things in the world are easier to know than to do. It has been 50 years, is he still not reconciled?"

Guiguzi looked up, the sky was full of clouds, and the wind was blowing in his ears.

Times create heroes, and heroes create times.

In this world of great struggle for hundreds of years, countless heroes have appeared on the stage, wanting to change this troubled world with their own power.

Some have succeeded for the time being, while others are still biding their time.

After Xunzi left, the room was empty, and Guiguzi stroked his beard.The sky was peaceful, but he could already feel the torrential rain that was coming.

"This day is going to change!"
