Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Before Meng Tian carried out Fusu's order, he specially asked someone to write a letter to Ying Zheng.

On the second day, Meng Tian directly led the army, and in the name of suppressing the rebellion, soldiers came to the Mohist city.

Fusu, on the other hand, took all the Confucian ministers in the court to the base of the Kong family in person to visit Kong Yu, a descendant of the Kong family.

In the 34th year of Qin Wangzheng, Li Si began to discuss the matter of burning books. Kong Yu sighed and expressed his dissatisfaction when he heard about it. Since then, he has lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain.

And when Fusu came here this time, he also brought along Kong Yu's disciple, Shusun Tong, the official worshiper of Daqin Shaofu.

After spending three days, Fusu and his party finally reached Songshan Mountain.

Of course, the news of Fusu's visit had already been notified to Kong Yu.

Although Kong Yu didn't like the King of Qin, Fusu, the young master, was also an outstanding disciple of his Confucianism, and he was famous for his benevolence, kindness, and kindness, so naturally Kong Yu would not close his eyes.

"My lord, what you said is a good thing for both Daqin and the schools of thought. I believe the teacher will agree."

Shu Suntong stood beside Fusu and comforted him.

"My lord, my lords, please sir!"

At this time, Kong Yu's disciple came out and bowed to Fusu and others to invite them in.

Kong Yu is 54 years old this year, which is considered a long life in ancient times.

When Fusu and the others saw Kong Yu, his condition was not good, and his health had obviously deteriorated a lot.

"My lord, please forgive me for being unwell, I can't go out to greet you in person...cough cough!"

Kong Yu forced himself to stand up and salute.

"Master, please sit down!"

In front of a great Confucian like Kong Yu, even Ying Zheng has to be polite. Although Fusu is the son of the Great Qin, he is also a student of Confucianism. In front of Kong Yu, he naturally upholds the etiquette of a student.

"The student has met the teacher."

Shusun Tong and other Confucian disciples also came forward to salute Kong Yu, and the two parties sat down one after the other after being courteous.

"Master, to be honest, the student came here to ask for something."

"My lord, it's okay to say, if I can help you, I will do my best, ahem..."

"Teacher, you don't know yet. His Majesty the First Emperor went out on a tour, and the son of Daqin was in charge of the country a few days ago."

Kong Yu has lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain for these years, and it can be said that he knows nothing about the outside world.

Moreover, considering the fact that Yingzheng burned the book before, it was a serious blow to Kong Yu, so Shu Suntong hurried forward to explain to Kong Yu the changes in Daqin over the years.

"What you said is true? The King of Qin actually implemented nine-year compulsory education, so that everyone in the world has the opportunity to read and write?"

After listening to Shusun Tong's words, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on Kong Yu's face.

Is this really the King of Qin in his impression?When did he become so merciful?

"Teacher, in fact, you have lived in Songshan in seclusion for these years, and you don't know much about the outside world. Daqin has changed a lot now. The heads of Guizhou live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are rich. They don't need to suffer from hunger and cold. If you go out and see for yourself, Only then will I know how good Daqin is now."

As a Confucianist, Shu Suntong didn't understand how much the burning of books would affect Kong Yu?
However, what outsiders don't know is that Yingzheng burned all the books except Daqin at the beginning, but he didn't completely cut off the precious inheritance. Instead, he built a palace to store the copies of these books, but he didn't There is no guarantee that it will not be circulated.

After all, the Great Qin Dynasty was in turmoil at that time, and it was the time when stability was needed. The burning of books was also a decision that had to be made in order to realize the cultural unification of books and vehicles on the same track.

In order for Kong An to completely dispel his bad feelings towards Da Qin, Shusun Tong naturally would not hide this matter, and explained it to Kong An in person.

"Teacher, you don't know. In fact, His Majesty made such a decision under a lot of pressure."

"Okay, you don't need to say any more. It seems that I did misunderstand His Majesty back then."

Kong Yu waved his hand, he is not an unreasonable person.

It was wrong for Yingzheng to burn the books, but as the emperor, in order to stabilize his own country, this move is understandable.

What's more, Qin Shihuang deliberately left a backup and did not completely burn it.

The most important thing is that Qin Shihuang truly realized the goal that Confucius had been pursuing all his life.

The world is united, and the world is educated.

The reason why Confucius became a sage is precisely because he pioneered education in the history of China. He was the first person to put forward the concept of education without discrimination. .

It's a pity that Confucius' ideas were simply intolerable to the emperors and nobles of all dynasties.

If Confucianism had not been carried forward by the three thousand disciples of Confucius, I am afraid that the current Confucianism would have been exterminated by those nobles and passed on or become their private property.

Nine-year compulsory education, so that people all over the world have the opportunity to study, what kind of mind and courage is this?
No wonder Qin Shihuang was able to unify the six kingdoms. Who can match this kind of bearing alone?
"Dare to ask that you are here, but you need this old man to come out of the mountain? If there is any need, this old man will not dare to refuse!"

Kong Yu turned his head to look at Fusu. He has lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain for so many years, and he has still cultivated many disciples, which proves that he has never given up the idea of ​​inheritance education.

Today, Qin Shihuang promotes nine-year compulsory education. If Kong Yu had known earlier, he would be the first to respond to the call.

"It would be great if the Master could go out and teach the students himself. In fact, I have come here to ask the Master for the nine-year compulsory education, so that Confucianism can respond to the call of the Great Qin and enter various schools in the Great Qin to serve as teachers. "

"My lord is serious. Teaching and educating people is what scholars of my generation should do. Why talk about asking for words?"

Kong Yu agreed to Fusu's request without hesitation.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll order someone to pack up my things right now, my lord, let's go first, I'm going to Xianyang today!"

"So, it's hard work, Master!"

Fusu cupped his hands, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the bearing of a descendant of a saint.

When he first came here, he was worried that Kong Yu would refuse to come out because of what Ying Zheng did back then.

Now it seems that Fusu thought too much. The sage thought inherited by the descendants of Confucius is engraved in his bones and blood.

How could they give up their philosophy of teaching and educating people because of a little conflict with Ying Zheng?
