Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Chapter 379 The Three Character Classic

For a reader, there is nothing more attractive than a whole library of books.

In particular, Zhao Che's library contains all kinds of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics.

After Kong Yu came to Jingshui, he went to Jingshuiting Primary School and lived in the library directly. Except for eating, resting and going to the toilet, he would leave for a while, and spent the rest of the time in the sea of ​​books.

"Okay, I didn't expect the collection of books in this library to be so rich. If I had known that Daqin had such a library, I wouldn't have worked so hard to hide the only copy of Confucianism!"

Kong Yu looked at the collection of books on the bookshelf with a sigh. All the classics of Confucianism are in it, and even some books that Kong Yu himself does not have can be found here.

During the Warring States Period in 200 years, the descendants of the Kong family shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the classics left by the sage Kong. Unfortunately, in this era of barbarism and chaos, various accidents will inevitably occur.

As a result, many of the books left by Confucius were lost or damaged due to various reasons.

Unexpectedly, those lost and damaged classics were found in Zhao Che's library, and Kong Yu was even more fortunate. Fortunately, he came out with Fusu this time, otherwise he would not have known about it.

"Master, how do you think we should cooperate with Master Fusu?"

Kong Yu's students came in, told Kong Yu about Fusu's latest will, and waited for his response.

"Hehe, Mr. Fusu's move is for the sake of all the people in the world, and to realize the responsibility of our ancestors to educate the world. As Confucian students, this is our mission, so we should cooperate fully!"

Kong Yu said without hesitation.

Of course, Kong Yu knew better that this was just an excuse for Fusu. The collection of classics in the Jingshuiting Library may be more comprehensive than the collections of the various schools of thought.

All the schools of thought think how precious their own core ideas are, but they don't know that in this library, they are just quietly stored in a remote corner.

Whether it is from the perspective of righteousness or selfishness, Kong Yu will naturally be the first to respond to Fusu's will.

"Master, there is one more thing!"

"what's up?"

Kong Yu looked at his student Zhong Zizheng, and there seemed to be some resentment on his face at this moment.

"Master, Mr. Fusu sent General Meng Tian to lead the army and crush the Mo family!"

"Oh?"

Kong Yu raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little surprised, but he didn't look too excited.

"Master, Mohist's idea of ​​both love and non-aggression has a lot in common with our Confucianism. In the end, they were wiped out by Mr. Fusu. The students are somewhat aggrieved."

"Why are you upset?"

"For the students of the Mohist school, the students don't know what they have done, but they are all unarmed students after all. Mr. Fu Su sent the Qin army to kill so many innocent people, it is really not a gentleman's action!"

"you're right!"

Kong Yu nodded, but before Zhong Zizheng was happy, Kong Yu followed closely the conversation.

"In the eyes of scholars like me, Mr. Fusu's move is indeed a little too much, but Mr. Fusu is now in charge of supervising the country, and I have heard about the Mohist family. I heard that they gathered many honors from the Six Kingdoms and tried several times. To overthrow Daqin and start a war, according to the laws of Daqin, they are traitors, so there is no problem for Master Fusu to kill them."

"Master, how can you support this kind of thinking? Maybe the Mohists were just deceived by traitors. What's more, it was the Great Qin who started the war first and destroyed the Six Kingdoms. What's wrong with them?"

Listening to Zhong Zi's righteous and strict words, Kong Yu couldn't help frowning.

It turned out that Zhong Zi was the youngest among several students of Kong Yu, and the emperor was also the most intelligent, so Kong Yu valued him very much.

Originally, he thought that after leaving the mountain this time, he would take this opportunity to see if he could find a good job for Zhong Zizheng in Daqin.

As a result, what Zhong Zizheng said today made Kong Yu a little bit unbearable.

It's not that Zhong Zizheng is too stupid, but his understanding of Confucianism is not thorough enough, and he still stays at the literal meaning on paper.

This can be regarded as justifiable, after all, Zhong Zi grew up with him and lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain all the time.

"Zizheng, what is Wuchang?"

"Tiandijun's personal teacher!"

Hearing that Kong Yu suddenly asked him a question, and it was so simple, Zhong Zizheng answered subconsciously.

"Then tell me, who owns the world today?"

"It's... the First Emperor of Qin!"

Zhong Zizheng was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation.

"Since you also know that the world belongs to Great Qin, we are in Great Qin, so we are naturally citizens of Qin. Besides, after the unification of the world, His Majesty has already said that there will be no seven kingdoms in the world, and the citizens of the seven kingdoms are all Qin people. I teach you the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, the one who is loyal should be the emperor of the Great Qin, and the one who loves should be the Great Qin."

"You know, the Mohists colluded with the heroes of the six countries, instigated the head of Guizhou, intending to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, and plunge the world into war again. This is an act of treason and injustice. How can you complain for them?"

"You have learned to be loyal to the monarch and love the country for so long, have you even forgotten which monarch you are loyal to and which country you love?"

……

Kong Yu sternly reprimanded, Zhong Zizheng immediately bowed his head in guilt.

"Teacher, the students know their mistakes!"

……

"Master, why should you be angry? Zizheng is still young and has never been out of the mountains to see wars. It is understandable that his thinking is biased. What's more, Zizheng dares to speak out, which shows that he is still very kind in his heart."

Before anyone arrives, the sound arrives first.

When Fusu brought his uncle Tong Chunyuyue, Li Si and the others, when they were about to come to visit Kong Yu, they happened to encounter such a thing.

After Kong Yu finished teaching Zhong Zizheng, Fusu brought someone in.

It's a good thing that Zhong Zi is Kong Yu's student, and he didn't foolishly say this in front of outsiders.

Otherwise, based on his words alone, it is appropriate to label him as colluding with the remnants of the six countries.

"Young Master, Zizheng made mistakes. As Zizheng's teacher, you should criticize him. He is still young and simple-minded. I hope you can forgive him. If you want to punish him, punish the old man!"

"What did Master say at this time, Zizheng didn't make any serious mistakes, how could I blame him, not to mention, if someone really did something wrong, how could I blame Master?"

Fusu hurriedly stepped forward to help Kong An and said.

"My lord, I happened to see a few books in the past few days, one of which is called the Three Character Classic, and the author is a gentleman named Wang Yinglin."

"In the Three Character Classic, there is a passage that the old man deeply agrees with. The so-called failure of the son to teach is the fault of the father, lax teaching and laziness of the teacher. It is my responsibility for not teaching well, so I should be punished!"

……

"Three Character Classic?"

Fu Su thought about it for a while, the two sentences that Kong Yu said just now were not very profound, even some vernacular, but they expounded the most profound facts with the least amount of reasoning.

"Hey, if such a simple and popular article can be used as an enlightenment textbook, wouldn't it be suitable?"

Suddenly Fusu's eyes lit up, he came here this time to ask Kong Yu for help, firstly to persuade him to play a representative role and hand over the Confucian classics to Xianyang Palace on his own initiative.

Second, it is natural to let Kong Yu participate in the work of presiding over the compilation of teaching materials.

Unexpectedly, before I put forward my idea, I accidentally heard this three-character scripture from Kong Yu's mouth.

"Master, I don't know where the three-character scripture is? Can you let me have a look?"

Fusu couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked.

"This is Daqin's library, why should you ask me if you want to see it?"

Kong Yu smiled, then got up and found the Three Character Classic, and handed it to Fusu.

"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

The first few lines of the Three Character Classic attracted Fusu into it.

Human nature is inherently good, which is the idea that Confucianism has always advocated, and it is also the biggest contradiction in the struggle between Confucianism and Legalism.
