From Nine Uncles to Douluo Doupa's Journey to Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 176 New Confucianism
"The regent is here, and the old man is far away to welcome you."

Xun Kuang bowed his hands and saluted.

"Fu Nian (Yan Lu), head of Xiaoshengxian Village, has met the Lord Regent."

Fu Nian and the two also saluted.

Jiang Yu also cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Haha, Old Master Xun has a high moral character and is famous all over the world. Jiang has longed for it. It would be rude to come today without an appointment."

As one of the philosophers, Xunzi, the teacher of Han Fei and Li Si, is not only well-known in later generations, but also a great master in this world.

"Please also ask the regent to move to the village."

Fu Nian turned around and made a gesture of asking.

"Alright, alright."

Jiang Yu nodded and walked inward first.

"This person is as domineering as the rumors say, but I don't know if this is a blessing or a disaster?"

"Let's play by ear!"

Seeing this, Fu Nian and Xun Kuang made eye contact and followed in.

Only Yan Lu remained indifferent, as if there were not many things in this world that could move him.

After stepping through the gate, as far as the eye can see, there are courtyards paved with flat bluestone slabs.

Continuing inward, the trees are tall and straight, the grass is green, and there are countless rare and exotic flowers mixed in; rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions are scattered among them; a lake is clear and green, sparkling, and it seems that the bottom can be seen.

Jiang Yu walked along the wooden bridge and stopped at a gazebo.

"The scenery here is beautiful, we might as well talk here!"

Jiang Yu was not polite, and sat down first after speaking.

"Alright, alright."

Xun Kuang knelt down opposite Jiang Yu and asked, "I don't know why the regent came to Xiaoshengxian Village?"

Jiang Yu glanced at Xun Kuang, raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, and said, "Jiang's visit to Confucianism this time is because of two things that require the help of your Confucianists."

"Oh?"

Fu Nian slightly arched his hands, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know which two things? If my Confucianism can help the Lord Regent, I will definitely not refuse."

Jiang Yu said calmly: "First, I need the Canglong Qisu belonging to Zhao State that Mr. Yan Lu kept; second, I need you Confucianists to join the Federation according to my ideas."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Fu Nian's expression turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Master Regent, this first matter is my junior brother's private matter, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter, but this second matter is something that my Confucianism cannot agree to."

"Is that the master Fu Nian's plan to keep a good thing out?"

Jiang Yu spoke slowly, not at all annoyed by Fu Nian's attitude.

"A great thing? Why didn't I know?"

Fu Nian sneered.

Jiang Yu stood up, took a few steps, and said: "Confucianism originated from Confucius, advocating the restoration of Zhou rituals and promoting education. Although it is a prominent school in the world, since the Spring and Autumn Period, except for Qi, no other country has valued Confucianism. ;

Although the Qi State established the Jixia Academy, it did not use Confucianists, but used the prestige of Confucian scholars to decorate the facade and whitewash the peace.

Such Confucianism, but the Confucianism that Fu Nian wanted?But the Confucianism that thousands of students of Confucianism hope for? "

After a pause, Jiang Yu said again: "Master Fu Nian, have you ever thought about why this is? It's all because Confucianism is pedantic and rigid, and only knows how to follow ancient rituals, but doesn't know how to adapt it!"

Hearing this, Xunzi on the side nodded slightly, and a gleam of light flashed away from his cloudy eyes.

Although he is revered as the son of Confucianism, in fact, because he studied Legalism at the same time, his concept is an alternative, which is different from traditional Confucianism.

Influenced by him, his disciples Han Fei and Li Si also paid more attention to Legalism and the art of emperors, believing that these two are the best choices for strengthening and governing the country.

Fu Nian looked thoughtful, and finally sighed: "My Confucian people pay attention to understanding and respecting etiquette. If the etiquette changes, is my Confucianism still Confucianism?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Yu said: "The sky is changing, the earth is changing again, you are changing, I am changing, and everything in the world is changing. Why can't your Confucian rituals be changed?"

"This……"

Fu Nian was speechless.

"Nephew Fu Nian, although my Confucianism is somewhat famous, it is hard to find a Confucian official, let alone to display the ideals and ambitions of governing the country."

Xun Kuang looked at Fu Nian and said, "I think it's time for my Confucianism to change!"

Fu Nian saluted meticulously and said: "What the uncle said is very true, Fu Nian has been taught."

After speaking, Fu Nian got up, looked at Jiang Yu, and asked, "Fu Nian heard that the Lord Regent wants to be the Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, and use the federal system to quell the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, so that all people can live and work in peace and contentment? In this case, the world is stable. The Lord Regent still needs my Confucianism?"

Jiang Yu nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, if the Seven Kingdoms want to truly pacify, they need the people of the Seven Kingdoms to abandon their past grievances and unite as one, regardless of superiority or inferiority.

Confucianism pays attention to 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, forgiveness, loyalty, and filial piety', and can establish universities, middle schools, and elementary schools, so that Confucianism and other schools of thought can prevail in the world and teach all people in the world.

In this way, with the enlightenment of Confucianism, supplemented by the thoughts of a hundred schools of thought, and the laws and decrees of the Legalists, the books are the same, the words are the same, the laws are the same laws, and the punishments are the same.

It only takes two to three generations to completely unify the seven kingdoms and end hundreds of years of disputes. "

"The Lord Regent is far-sighted, and Fu Nian admires it."

Fu Nian cupped his hands.

Jiang Yu once again sincerely invited: "Haha, Jiang once made an oath: 'Build a heart for the world, build a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations!'

I don't know if all you Confucian scholars are willing to fulfill this oath with me? "

"Fu Nian is willing."

Fu Nian replied.

Xun Kuang stroked his beard, and said slowly: "If the regent needs to be old, feel free to ask."

At this time, the taciturn Yan Lu also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The talent of the regent is comparable to the ancient sages. To me, Canglong Qisu is just a memory of the past, and it is of no great use. It’s okay to hand it over to the Lord Regent.”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yu was slightly startled, and thanked Mr. Yan Lu in return: "Then thank you Mr. Yan Lu, I don't know what Mr. Yan Lu needs, even if you ask, as long as Jiang can do it, he will definitely not refuse."

Yan Lu shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I don't want anything, I just hope that the Regent can really do what I just said."

Jiang Yu said seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely."

After saying that, he flicked his right hand, and suddenly a gourd appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Jiang Yu put the gourd in front of Yan Lu, and said solemnly: "Jiang doesn't like to owe people anything in this life, and this gourd contains life liquid.

Taking it for a long time can greatly increase the lifespan, and at the same time, it will also have the bonus effect of eternal youth. Today, Jiang Mou gave it to Mr. Yan Lu, and I hope that Mr. Yan will not refuse. "
