Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Ying Zheng's tone was very kind, and he said, "Tell me everything you know."

"Well..."

The woman's stammering answer, although she was confused because of nervousness, Zhao Gao was surprised by the information revealed in it.

She knew what the arrest department reported just now, and she knew what the arrest department did not report.

There are even some things that can't even be found in the net, but they just come out of this ordinary woman.

Zhao Gao finally came to his senses: besides Luo Wang and the arrest department, the emperor has other eyeliners!

He has been by Ying Zheng's side all year round. If Ying Zheng forms such a force, it is impossible for Zhao Gao not to know.

High view!

This name immediately appeared in Zhao Gao's mind, followed by a 17 chill from the bottom of his heart.

The nets were scattered all over the world, and they didn't know that Gao Jing secretly formed such an organization for the emperor.

Even Luo Wang doesn't know the name of this organization...

The unknown is always the source of fear!

What is the name of this organization?

What is constituted?

Where is the distribution of power?

Who are the members?

Are there other organizations like this?

……

These are all ignorant!

Just when Zhao Gao was terrified, the woman's information had been reported and she lay motionless on the ground.

After a long time, Ying Zheng let out a breath and said, "You did a good job, you should step down first."

"Here!"

The woman was obviously relieved, got up and backed out with a bent waist.

Zhao Gao glanced at Ying Zheng out of the corner of his eye.

Ying Zheng seemed calm, but his hand was unconsciously pressed on the Tianwen Sword at his waist.

Zhao Gao, who was familiar with Ying Zheng, knew very well that Ying Zheng was so angry at this moment, and also realized that he might kill someone next time!

Who can bear the emperor's wrath?

The atmosphere was very oppressive, Zhao Gao shrank his body as much as possible, not daring to make any movements.

It wasn't until Li Si begged to see him that the depression barely dissipated.

"What's the matter?"

Holding the scroll in both hands, Li Si said, "Go back to His Majesty the Emperor, the black dragon scroll from Xianyang."

Zhao Gao hurried over in small steps, took the scroll, and presented it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng checked it before opening the scroll and reading it.

After a while, Ying Zheng closed the scroll and said, "Fu Su did a good job."

Although the tone remained unchanged, both Zhao Gao and Li Si could tell that Ying Zheng was in a much better mood.

"Liss."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "I heard that you have heard Jing Chun's "Xin Xue" before?"

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and replied: "When I was studying with my teacher Xunzi, Jing Gong discussed knowledge with Xunzi, and mentioned it in words."

Ying Zheng asked, "What do you think?"

Li Si said truthfully: "I'm so stupid that I can't understand what Jing Gong said."

"Ah."

Ying Zheng chuckled, and said: "Jing Chun has an accurate judgment on the situation in the world, he knows what kind of events will happen in what kind of environment, he can even read people's hearts, and can accurately predict the situation of different people in different situations. Next, the different choices made...

So he can see the whole world clearly from a bird's-eye view!

And all of this stems from his "heart learning"... Li Si, you have missed the treasure! "

Li Si panicked and said, "I'm stupid!"

Zhao Gao's eyes showed deep fear and vigilance.

Ying Zheng sighed slightly, and said, "Those outside, let's deal with it according to the law."

"Here!"

……

When the guards of the imperial army went out, the county magistrate of Jingyang and a group of officials were kneeling here, the sweat on his forehead had never dried.

Until Li Si appeared, the magistrate of Jingyang showed hope in his eyes.

Who knows, Li Si just said coldly: "Take it!"

The Imperial Army swarmed up and pressed everyone, including the county magistrate, to the ground.

The county magistrate was terrified, struggling hard, and finally screamed: "It's not fair! Your Majesty the Emperor is not fair! I waited for the old Qin people to shed blood for Da Qin, and ended up like this in the end...It's not fair!"

"Jiuu old Qin, let's go to the national disaster together, Jiujiu old Qin, restore our rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and death will never stop!"

Li Si looked at him expressionlessly, and after he finished singing, he said: "Now there is no Daqin, only Dahan! Your contributions to Daqin have already been rewarded.

Now that the world is unified, the great Han is newly established, and all the people in the world are Han people, you still hold the credit of the Great Qin, blindly greedy, and ended up like this, you can only say that you have brought it on yourself!

Press it down and handle it according to the law! "

Further away, the onlookers watched this scene without saying a word for a long time.

Suddenly someone shouted a 727: "Heaven's Holy King! Heaven's Holy King! God favors us, Heaven's Holy King!"

Immediately, other common people were mobilized, shouting "Heaven's Holy King" and knelt down to worship.

Everyone shouted together, and the sound even passed through the imperial army and reached Ying Zheng's ears.

Ying Zheng listened attentively, and when he heard the shout clearly, he glanced at Zhao Gao and said, "You arranged it?"

Zhao Gao quickly knelt down and said, "Slaves dare not! This must be the cry from the hearts of the people themselves."

Ying Zheng asked again: "Is it really arranged by someone?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "The minister uses the head to guarantee, no one arranges all this!"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Get up."

But the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he murmured: "Lights in the dark night always attract moths to jump on them regardless of their own safety...

When there are not many moths, then the moths will naturally be burned, and when the moths are overwhelming, then the lights will be extinguished.

Confucian Mencius once said: The people are the most important, the society is second, and the monarch is the least. Now it seems that this is true.

Zhao Gao. "

"The servant is here."

"Go find me some related books on Mencius, I want to read it."

"Slaves obey orders.".

Chapter 240 The Significance of the Second Country Title

"Do you know the origin of the name "Qin"?"

Gao Jing and Fusu dealt with government affairs together, looked at the memorial in hand, and asked casually.

Fu Su put down his pen, thought for a while, and said, "Teacher Hui, Qin Feizi, the ancestor of the Qin people, was named "Qin" by King Xiao of Zhou because of his meritorious service in raising horses for the Zhou royal family.

Gao Jing nodded and said: "Yan Qi is a formal vassal state, and the country's title is granted by the emperor himself. As for the Chu state... Hehe, "Chu" in the Chu language is a name for thorns.

It is said in "Chu Ju" that Xiong's wife, Concubine Li, gave birth to a son, Xiong Li, who had dystocia. After the caesarean section, Concubine Li died, and Xiong Li survived.

After Concubine Li died, the wizard wrapped her abdomen with thorns called "Chu" and buried her.To commemorate her, later generations called their country "Chu".

Han, Wei, and Zhao were originally three of the six ministers of Jin. After Jin was divided, they simply used their own clan as the country's name... Isn't it very casual? "

Fu Su asked puzzledly, "Why did the teacher suddenly mention this matter?"

Gao Jing said with a smile: "The so-called country name actually has no special meaning in this period, it's just a habitual name.

Coupled with the chaotic wars among the countries, maybe one day people from Song Dynasty will become people from Qi Dynasty the next day... There are too many such situations.

So when I proposed to change the country name, I didn't have much opposition, that's why.

In everyone's mind, "Qin" is just a habitual address, and has no special meaning. Even if it is changed to "Han", it is no big deal. "

Fu Su thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's true! But now, it seems that Teacher's action has a deeper meaning, right?"

Gao Jing handed over the memorial in his hand.

Fusu took a look at it, and was stunned: "Restore the country name of "Qin"?"

"It seems that someone finally realized the impact of changing the country's name."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only Confucianism has a school that advocates a complete "return to the ancient".

Zhuangzi once said: Husbands respect the past and despise the present, like scholars.It is through this point of view to scold the entire Confucianism, Xunzi even directly scolded this line of Confucianism as "low Confucianism".

The Legalists even clearly pointed out: if the world is not governed in the same way, the country will not follow the law!

But this line of Confucianism can be passed down, naturally there is a reason for it. "

Later dynasties talked about "ancient law" and "ancestral system" at every turn. On the one hand, the reason was for their own interests, but another reason was the concept of "respecting the ancients" brought by this line of Confucianism.

The term "ancestral system" came into existence only in the Eastern Han Dynasty after Confucianism was the only thing to be respected, and under the influence of Confucianism. Before that, this concept was only circulated within Confucianism.

In this period, except for Confucianism, what is the attitude of other schools of thought towards "ancient law"?

"Advancing oneself without being poor, following the past without imitating, the sincerity of adults."
