Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 47 Lanling
Lanling County of Chu State.

Xunzi was teaching his students his last lesson.

When Xunzi was young, he studied in Jixia Academy. Later, he was favored by Lord Chunshen and appointed as the Order of Lanling. He ruled in Lanling for a long time. When he was in power, he set up a school to give lectures in Lanling.

According to historical records, Xunzi was a disciple of Confucianism, but according to the rumors and records of later generations, strictly speaking, Xunzi was a representative of the Miscellaneous School.

Miscellaneous, is to mix a hundred theories together and summarize them by classification.

Xunzi's students came from all over the world, and the disciples he taught were also specialized in arts.

More importantly, Xunzi did not want to talk empty words like his Confucian disciples, but was a man of action who united knowledge and action.

At the end of the class, Xunzi pointed out a clear way for the students: "Qin IV has victories, counts, and is not lucky!"

The general idea is: After the unremitting efforts of four generations of kings, the rise of Qin is inevitable, not only by luck.

Everyone sitting on the straw mat nodded, and the four monarchs of Qin State all had their achievements.

Qin Xiaogong adopted the Shang Yang Reform, ruled the country according to the law, rewarded farming and war, and enriched the country and strengthened its army.

King Huiwen, King Zhaoxiang, and King Zhuangxiang inherited his will, taking Hanzhong in the south, Juba and Shu in the west, cutting the fertile land in the east, and harvesting key counties in the north.

Even the four princes of the Warring States period, even the elite soldiers, even the nine kingdoms united to attack Qin, they all returned in defeat.

Since then, Qin's prosperity has been the general trend, and no one can stop it.

The two people in the crowd were knowledgeable about the past and the present, and they were very talented, and they deeply agreed with Xunzi's views
One of them, his political ideas established the basic pattern of millennium later generations.

As for the other, his legalist thought was regarded as the governing philosophy of countless monarchs.

In the future, Li Si, the Prime Minister of Zuo who will promote the unification of the Great Qin Empire, and Han Fei, a representative of Legalism who integrates Legalism.

Counting the time, King Qin had just been in charge.

Qin Wang Yingzheng will use the power of the whole country to conquer the six kingdoms and rule the world.

Counting the time, Yingzheng has just been in charge and lacks a virtuous minister to assist him.

So, he made a bold decision to go to Qin to seek a way out.

And how easy is it to go to Qin to seek a way out?

at last.
In the last class, Xunzi asked everyone to write a graduation thesis to explain their whereabouts after graduation.

After an incense stick of time, the students wrote their pens one after another.

As the invigilator, Xunzi quietly walked behind a classmate, leaned down and knocked carefully, then shook his head helplessly.

The classmate gave a slight thump, then lowered his head to check the words written on his wooden tablet, his brows were furrowed, his expression was unbelievable, and he began to question what he had written.

It turned out that the student wrote that he would become a chivalrous man in the future, wandering in the rivers and lakes, loyal to the liver and courageous, unrivaled in the world.

However, Xunzi, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, naturally couldn't understand chivalrous men, but Xunzi regarded chivalry and righteousness as idlers and idlers.

Later, Xunzi walked up to a businessman dressed in silk. His article was full of nonsense, and the core was only two words: earn money!

Xunzi rubbed the center of his brows, and asked, "Why do you earn money?"

The businessman patted his purse and said flatly, "This is to make future generations carefree!"

Xunzi forced a smile on his face. He thought that the businessman would help the country, but he didn't expect it to be for himself!
Seeing the teacher's embarrassment, the businessman suddenly got up and added: "If one day I become rich, I will definitely not forget you."

If the businessman said this in front of a group of farming children, everyone would laugh out loud.

But everyone here has great ambitions, and they nodded slightly after listening to the businessman's speech.

Xunzi read the students' articles along the aisle, sighing helplessly.

Some of these people hope to retreat to the mountains and forests to escape the chaos of war, some hope to work hard to support their families, and some hope to become political strategists and fight against Confucianism.

Xunzi was happy on the surface, but his heart was already bursting, and he thought to himself: You are the worst class I have ever led.

When Xunzi saw Li Si's article, his pupils shrank, and after reading it carefully, he was full of praise.

Roughly speaking: He served as Tian Qiangfu (a small official in charge of the granary) in Shangcai in his early years, but after seeing the different treatment of mice in the granary and the toilet, he resigned from his official position decisively and came to Xunzi to learn the art of emperor, and he will go to change in the future Good platform development.

After Xunzi asked, he learned that Li Si said that a better platform was the officialdom of Qin.

Xunzi couldn't help admiring Li Si, who knew the world's major events before he came out of his hut, and calculated that the unification of Qin State was the general trend.

After being praised by the teacher, Li Si replied respectfully: "Don't dare!"dare not!
According to the historical trend, Qin Wangzheng will inevitably sweep the six countries and dominate the world!
Counting the time, the King of Qin had just been in charge, and he happened to be short of a virtuous minister to assist him.

And Li Si was exactly the virtuous minister Qin Wangzheng dreamed of.

After leaving Lanling, this legalist bachelor who influenced future generations nearly two years ago, went against Han Fei and learned the way of legalism.

Li Si will also assist King Qin to rule the world and bring the world into one.

Xunzi, who was still immersed in Li Si's thrilling speech, suddenly turned to look at Han Fei and asked: "Han Fei, your article?"

Han Fei faltered and submitted the article for Xunzi to read.

The general idea is: South Korea has internal and external troubles, and he hopes to make the country strong through reforms.

Han Fei's father was Han Ji Shi. After he failed in his bid for the throne, he fled to Chu State and lived among the people. He married a commoner daughter of Chu State and gave birth to Han Fei.

What's interesting is that it wasn't until Han Zheli was dying that Zheli didn't tell Han Fei about his life experience.

Han Fei's eyes widened, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead.

After learning the truth, King Han Li (the younger brother of Han Zheli) did not pursue the matter, and took Han Fei back to his country, but did not reuse him.

Xunzi looked at Han Feizi, patted Han Feizi on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Han Feizi is so brave and loyal, he is such a man!"

These words ignited the frustrated Han Fei again, and decided to persuade King Han Li to reform and strengthen the country after returning home.

It is a pity that South Korea is in decline and has no ambition to dominate the world. It is just an egg against a stone against Qin.

Although Han Fei stuttered, he had outstanding talents. If he went to Qin with Li Si, he might not be reused.

What's more, after Han Fei's two masterpieces "Lonely Anger" and "Five Beetles" were passed to Zhangtai Palace for King Qin to read, Qin Wangzheng was so addicted to it that he even said "If Gu can meet this person and make friends with him, even if Even if it’s death, there will be no regrets!” he exclaimed.

If he served the King of Qin together with Li Si, one would supervise the king, supervise the officials, and act as an advising doctor like Wei Zheng;

Isn't it that Great Qin's world-dominating hegemony is just around the corner!
It's a pity that the fate of the two seems to have been tricked. As soon as Li Si was about to be reused, Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty. Coupled with the opposition of the powerful, Han Fei died in a foreign country.

But Qin Wangzheng had a young slave by his side.
How will the fate of the two change?
King Qin, who was far away in Zhangtai Palace, successfully ascended the throne as emperor, and issued an order to seek talents from the six kingdoms of Shandong.

Talented people from all over the world rushed to Qin to seek official careers and become officials in the dynasty.

And the kings of the six kingdoms of Shandong couldn't bear the depression in their hearts, and they were going to deal a fatal blow to Qin Wangzheng when Qin Wang had just been crowned and his foundation was not stable.
Therefore, after deliberation, the six countries of Shandong unanimously decided to unite against Qin and meet at the head of Wei State to deal a heavy blow to King Qin and dispel his ambition to annex the world.
