People drifted to lose contact in Qin Dynasty

"South Korea is a thing of the past. We, the people who are subjugated, have to find another place. I was able to join Confucianism thanks to Brother Han Fei's help!" Zhang Liang put away his thoughts and responded in a deep voice.

Bai Chuan glanced at Zhang Liang thoughtfully, and said lightly, "That's right, as Xunzi's favorite student, Han Fei was recommended by him. It's not a difficult thing for you to join Confucianism."

As for how to help Zhang Liang who was in South Korea when Han Fei was already in Qin State at that time, if Han Fei really misses his homeland, there is always a way.

Bai Chuan, Jingxi, and Zhang Liang strolled through the Little Sage's Village. As the sun set and the sun shone brightly, a beautiful fire cloud quietly emerged from the sky.

Looking at the beautiful sunset, Bai Chuan was slightly lost in thought.

"Although the sunset glow is beautiful, it will eventually disappear into the night. The world today is like this sunset glow. The night is approaching, and all the peace will be broken." Seeing Bai Chuan staring at the sunset staring blankly alone, Zhang Liang whispered, Meaningful.

"The coming of night is just for the coming of dawn. In my opinion, this is just a process of breaking old rules and recasting new ones." Of course, Bai Chuan knew that what Zhang Liang was talking about was the current large-scale conquest by the Qin State. The affairs of the world.

"Recast new rules?" Zhang Liang showed a thoughtful expression, and immediately took a deep breath.

It is true that what Bai Chuan said is correct. However, some obsessions cannot be let go just by recasting new rules, such as national hatred, such as family hatred... The destruction of South Korea, even if you know it is the cause of the general trend. trend, but every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I still feel unwilling.

Soon, the three of them walked to the gate of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Bai Chuan said to Zhang Liang again: "Let's send it here, we know the way down the mountain!"

Zhang Liang nodded.

Bai Chuan said again: "By the way, we will come again tomorrow, so don't be surprised."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help smiling wryly.

Chapter 469 Fu Nian

For several days in a row, Bai Chuan brought the startled salamander to Xiaoshengxian Village to visit Xunzi.

Many Confucian students in Xiaoshengxian Village also gradually knew that there were these two guests. They visited many times, and each time they were received by Lao Desan in person. There is no doubt that they are distinguished guests.

This couldn't help but make them curious about Bai Chuan's identity.

But Zhang Liang didn't want to say it, they could only hide their curiosity in their hearts.

In the afternoon of that day, Bai Chuan left Xunzi early.I was about to take the startled salamander back to an inn to rest.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang turned to Bai Chuan and said, "Mr. Bai, the sect master wants to see you!"

Brother in charge?

Fu Nian?

Bai Chuan froze for a moment, and immediately understood who Zhang Liang was talking about.

Since he came to Xiaoshengxianzhuang for so long, he has never seen Fu Nian, and later he also understood that Fu Nian went out for business, it seems that he has returned now.

Bai Chuan was not surprised that the returned Fu Nian wanted to see him.

He nodded slightly, and immediately followed Zhang Liang with a startled salamander towards Fu Nian.

The Linhai attic is a building built on the edge of the cliff in Xiaoshengxianzhuang. The large terrace faces the vast sea. Standing here, you have a wide view, and the sea breeze blows occasionally, which makes you feel very comfortable.

When Bai Chuan and Zhang Liang came here with Zhang Liang, a man was already waiting there.

With one hand behind his back, he faced the sea. His luxurious clothes fluttered gently with the sea breeze. When he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around.

Zhang Liang saluted him, but he just gave an expressionless 'hmm', which showed his seriousness.

After he saw Bai Chuan, he cupped his hands, bowed, saluted, and said, "Confucian Fu Nian, I met Mr. Bai!"

"Bai Chuan has met the head of Fu Nian!"

Bai Chuan also made a not-so-standard courtesy, which could barely be regarded as a courtesy to Fu Nian.

Noticing Bai Chuan's etiquette, as a perfectionist, Fu Nian felt as uncomfortable as he could be. He really wanted to correct Bai Chuan's movements and tell him the correct way to greet him, but then he thought that Bai Chuan was not a Confucian disciple. And because of his special status, he can only let it go.

After seeing the ceremony, Fu Nian said to Bai Chuan again: "Mr. Bai came from a long way, and Fu Niantian is the head of the Confucian sect, but he couldn't greet senior immediately, it's Fu Nian's fault."

"Hehe, Sect Leader Fu Nian's words are wrong. When I came to the Confucianism Sect, I didn't hand in the greeting card in advance. I came to the door abruptly. Speaking of it, it's my fault." Bai Chuan smiled and replied.

"Although Mr. has not handed over the greeting card, as Mr., even if he came to the door unexpectedly, Fu Nian did not greet him immediately, it is still Fu Nian's fault..."

"..." Well, what is this, Bai Chuan was just planning to be modest, but Fu Nian is such a serious and stubborn person, what is this called, stealing the pot?I've only heard of dumping the pot, but this is the first time I've seen the matter of grabbing the pot.

Bai Chuan cursed in his heart, and then asked Fu Nian, "But I don't know why Master Fu Nian invited me here?"

"I was not in the manor before, and I am coming back today. I suddenly heard that Mr. came, so I wanted to invite him to have a drink of tea, and I apologize by the way." I really can't get angry.

Bai Chuan nodded slightly.

Fu Nian signaled again: "Please sir!"

Long before Bai Chuan and the startled salamander came here, Fu Nian had already had tea prepared.

Bai Chuan was not polite either, catering to Fu Nian's etiquette, and sat cross-legged on the mat laid out beside the desk, the startled salamander sat behind him, Fu Nian came to sit opposite Bai Chuan, Zhang Liang followed Fu Nian Read behind.

For a moment, the two on one side faced each other from a distance.

Fu Nian picked up a cup of tea and motioned to Bai Chuan, "Sir, please!"

Bai Chuan was also polite, and immediately took a sip.

To be honest, the taste is average.

There is no difference between the tea served by Fu Nian and the tea served by Zhang Liang. Of the same level, there will naturally be no difference in the level of tea they drink.

After drinking the tea in one sip, Bai Chuan put down the teacup, and his movements were definitely not gentle. The teacup fell on the desk with a dull voice.

"Master Fu Nian invited me here not just for tea!"

Fu Nian also put down the cup slowly, with a dignified expression, "From the mouth of the Zifang, I know the identity of the gentleman and the purpose of the husband, but I still want to ask, the real purpose of the husband!"

"The real purpose?" Bai Chuan was stunned, and then his lips curled up slightly: "Didn't Master Fu Nian already know my purpose from Junior Brother Ling? Xun Qing is the master of Confucianism, so why can't I come and pay a visit?" ?”

"Of course you can come to visit Uncle Xun, but you shouldn't come at this time!"

Fu Nian stared at Bai Chuan without giving way.

"At this time? I'm sorry, please forgive Bai for not understanding what Master Fu Nian means."

"Your arrival may bring disaster to this small town and break the tranquility here." Fu Nian expressed his worries without hesitation.

Qin State destroyed Chu State. In today’s world, apart from Qin, only Qi State is independent because of partial security, but anyone can see that the so-called independent is only temporary, especially on the premise of Qin State’s vain attempt to unify the world. Next, it will be a matter of time before Qi Guo takes action.

Confucianists only read the books of sages and sages, and don't ask about world affairs. Naturally, they can avoid indiscriminate disasters. However, no one thought that at this time, the commander of Qin's shadow guard came here.

Fu Nian was not sure whether Bai Chuan's real purpose was simply to visit Master Xun, and he was a little worried.

The Commander of Qin Guoying Secret Guard has a special status, he is Yingzheng's eyes and ears, he came here suddenly, is it Qin Guo's conspiracy against Sanghai, or in other words, against Confucianism?

As the head of Confucianism, Fu Nian had to think more, he had to think about the whole Confucianism.

"Master Fu Nian is worrying too much. It was just an accident that I came to Sanghai. Master Fu Nian suspects that I have other intentions. It is too wronged me. What bad intentions can I have!"

"Really? That's Fu Nian thinking too much." Fu Nian's face softened a little.

Bai Chuan smiled faintly, picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, then Bai Chuan looked at Fu Nian and said, "However, since everyone is here, and I have also met the head of Fu Nian, I do have a problem in my heart." I want to ask Master Fu Nian!"

"What's the problem?" Fu Nian was a little puzzled.

"The general trend of the world is vast and mighty. Master Fu Nian is a smart person. He must understand what is the general trend. Under this general trend, what should Confucianism do? Has Master Fu Nian ever thought about it?"

Fu Nian's expression was calm, and his brows were immediately furrowed.

Chapter 470 Confucian Choice, Inn Night!

"The way out for Confucianism..."

Fu Nian also showed a thoughtful look.

Zhang Liang also looked at Bai Chuan with a solemn expression.

'The purpose of this person is really not as simple as visiting Master Xun! '

'His real purpose is Confucianism! '

'If the senior brother in charge hadn't returned, I'm afraid he wouldn't have revealed his original purpose. Is it because the second senior brother and I are not qualified? '

Zhang Liang thought to himself, although Yan Lu and him are the second and third masters of Xiaoshengxian Zhuang respectively, everyone knows that the only real head of Xiaoshengxian Zhuang, and even the entire Confucianism, is Fu Nian who holds Tai'a Sword !

Fu Nian thought for a while, then looked at Bai Chuan and asked, "Mr. Bai is serious. I, a Confucianist, only read the books of sages and sages. I never thought of blocking the general trend of the world. How can I talk about a way out!"

"Is it possible that the world after the great unification cannot accommodate us scholars?"

The word "Great Unification" was said lightly by Fu Nian, but it was not a shocking statement. After all, as long as you are not blind, you can see that Qin's destruction of the six countries has become a fixed trend.

The ultimate goal of Qin State is undoubtedly the "Great Unification" mentioned in "Gongyang Biography". There are some differences.

"After the great unification, the world will certainly be able to accommodate scholars!"

Bai Chuan said indifferently, and his tone suddenly changed, "Of course, Confucianism confuses the law with literature! Whether scholars are willing to abide by the laws and regulations of the new world is another matter!"

"Also, does Master Fu Nian really think that if he hides here and reads sage books, Confucianism, he can take care of himself alone?"

"The two schools of Confucianism and Mohism are both prominent schools of thought in the world. Mohism has already made a choice. Now, it is time for Confucianism to make a choice!"

Fu Nian is silent.

Those who read the books of sages and sages are those Confucian students. As the head of Confucianism, of course it is impossible for him to keep his ears to the outside world. He must consider the whole Confucianism.

There are hundreds of schools of thought, and all the famous schools have their way out.

Not much to say about the yin and yang family and public losers who took refuge in Qin State early.

Although Taoism is detached and doesn't care about world affairs, the ancestral family of Taoism is in the territory of Qin State, near Xianyang. They stayed under the nose of Qin State. Didn't they have made a choice?

Han Fei and Li Si, the only two contemporary legalists who can be called the arrogance of Legalism, both served in Qin State.

Famous people, eloquent people, are just fools. Even if there is no news that famous people have defected to Qin, Fu Nian is very clear about their choice.

For the rest of the sects, the attitude of the peasants is unclear, and they have always been mysterious, so let's not talk about it.The Guigu Zongheng faction has only two disciples in the past, and one of them is already in Qin, so it can be regarded as a choice.

The only thing that surprised Fu Nian was the choice of the Mo family.

The Mohists have always been opposed to wars, and they don’t have a good impression of the Qin State, which started wars wantonly. It can be said that they have been on the same side with the Qin State from the very beginning. In the end, no one thought that this is the Mohist School, who reversed the prejudice against the Qin State in the past , into the camp of Qin.

If it is said that during the Battle of Daliang, the Mo family helped Qin, it was still half-covered, and only a few people discovered the clues.

Then, during the battle between Qin State and Chu State, the Mohist's organ beasts appeared on the battlefield openly, and the Mohist's choice has been revealed without a doubt.

If it weren't for the help of the Mohists, plus the public losers who were already in Qin, the battle of Qin's destruction of Chu would not have been so easy and smooth.

Mechanism beasts, war machines that use manpower to ingeniously craft their work, are extremely useful on the battlefield.

Mohism has given a choice, but Confucianism, how should we choose?

In just a short moment, Fu Nian thought a lot, and at the same time, through Bai Chuan's words, he also understood that under the general trend, it is impossible for Confucianism to be independent.

A unified empire would never allow Confucianism, a sect or force that has a strong influence among the world's scholars but is not controlled by the Qin State, to exist.

Even if you don't make a choice now, you will have to make a choice when Qin unifies the world and sets your sights on Qin.

Even, the sooner you make a choice, the better.

The later you make a choice, the more Qin Guo will think that you have to bow your head because of the situation.

After Fu Nian wanted to understand this, he looked at Bai Chuan with deep eyes: "Mr. Bai's words, Fu Nian will think carefully about it!"

"Then I hope that the head of Fu Nian can think it through earlier!"

Bai Chuan didn't say any unnecessary words.

……

After leaving Xiaoshengxian Village, Bai Chuan returned to Youjian Inn with the startled salamander.

Inside the inn, Pao Ding had already prepared the meals.

In addition to his status as the leader of the Mo family, Pao Ding is also a master chef. During this period of time, Bai Chuan and the startling salamander have eaten many famous dishes in the land of Qilu with him.

Even if Jing Xi is a person who is not very picky about life, in front of delicious food, he can't help but look at Pao Ding more.

"Tomorrow we don't have to go to Xiaoshengxianzhuang!"

The startled salamander gave a "hmm" and asked Bai Chuan again, "Have you got the answer you want from Xunzi?"

At the beginning, when Jingxi followed Bai Chuan to Xiaoshengxianzhuang, she asked Bai Chuan's purpose.

Bai Chuan's response was undoubtedly more detailed than when he faced Zhang Liang. When facing Zhang Liang, Bai Chuan only said that he was visiting Xunzi, but in Jingxi, he said that he wanted to seek an answer from Xunzi. .

Bai Chuan nodded.

The startled salamander didn't ask any more questions.

After the two of them finished their meal, Pao Ding came forward to clean up the leftovers.
