Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

At this moment, what Zhao Dan was meeting was such a group of guys who were destined to be shot to death on the beach.

old man.

This group of old guys wearing Confucian crowns and Confucian robes are none other than the leaders of Confucianism in the country of Lu, which is what his factory calls "Lu Confucianism".

Since Confucius was born in the state of Lu, and his descendants also lived here, Lu Ru has always believed that he is the most orthodox spokesperson of Confucianism.

It is precisely because of these prides in their hearts that Confucians of Lu disdain the Jixia Academy of Qi State advocated by Mencius, and actually do not pay much attention to the Huaxia Academy of Zhao State led by Xun Kuang .

In their view, Confucius is a sage, and the words of a sage cannot be changed in any way.

Whether it is Mencius or Xunzi, these Confucian scholars who, in the eyes of outsiders, have played a role in promoting the development of Confucianism, actually have a very low evaluation in Lu Ru's heart.

That being the case, then why did these Lu Ru come to find Zhao Dan today?

An old Confucian stood up, bowed to Zhao Dan, and said: "Since the king is now the leader of the princes in the world, he should respect the king and fight against barbarians just like Duke Huan of Qi did back then, restore the old ritual system, and make the saints moral. It is widely distributed in the world."

As soon as the old Confucian opened his mouth, the other elders also agreed, you said three emperors and five emperors, and I said the old career of a virtuous king, in short, it made Zhao Dan dizzy and had a headache.

Regarding the old Confucian's remarks, Zhao Dan chose to smile and said nothing, but he already felt like scolding his mother in his heart.

It seems that agreeing to see these guys today is simply a mistake!

Zhao Dan originally thought that since these guys claimed to be the direct line of Confucius and the only orthodox, they must have something dry in their minds, right?

But now this group of twittering guys who want to restore Wang Shengren's old system makes Zhao Dan feel really bad.

It has been 800 years since the Zhou Dynasty was established. The system established by Zhou Gongdan 800 years ago may have been advanced at that time, but it is obviously not keeping up with the times 800 years later.

This is like using the system of the Southern Song Dynasty to govern in modern society, isn't it nonsense?

Looking at the white-haired descendant of Confucius who was chattering endlessly in front of him, Zhao Dan felt that he was one head and two elders.

After finally waiting for a little gap in the saliva bombardment of these old people, Zhao Dan coughed quickly and said: "You great scholars, I think that this week's ceremony seems to be a long time ago, shouldn't it be in line with the times? How about getting better?"

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, all the Lu Rus present showed distressed expressions, and said, "Your Majesty's words are so stupid! You must know that the Holy King's Ze can be used forever, but now it is only for a hundred generations. How can it not be feasible? Your Majesty is now the overlord of the world, and if you follow the way of a saint, you will be able to accomplish great things forever!"

Another bombardment of saliva that annoyed Zhao Dan began.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were some gray-haired old people present, Zhao Dan would have ordered to expel them directly.

But fortunately, the leaders of these Luru are all old people after all, and it won't be long for each of them to be old and frail. After about an hour or so, the saliva sprayed on Zhao Dan's face gradually began to decrease. .

Seeing the rare opportunity, Zhao Dan immediately coughed and said seriously: "Listening to the elders explaining the old system of the Holy King today really opened my eyes. Presumably, the elders should also know that I have built a Huaxia School in Handan. Why don’t you invite all the elders to go to the Huaxia Academy to preach, so that the world will know the kindness of this holy king?”

"This..." As soon as Zhao Dan opened his mouth, several Lu Ru leaders looked at each other, and seemed a little hesitant for a while.

Although Lu Ru is old-fashioned, it doesn't mean that they are all fools. Haven't you seen that these Lu Ru leaders have never persuaded Zhao Dan to re-establish the majesty of Zhou Tianzi even though they kept talking about restoring the old ritual system of the holy king?

According to Confucius' theory, rebuilding the majesty of Emperor Zhou is the most important thing, which is why the princes are unwilling to buy Confucius' account.The majesty of the emperor is seriously established, so why should I, a prince, go and cool off by the side?

Having said that, when Zhao Dan invited them to Huaxia Academy, the leaders of these Lu Ru were not very happy.

These days, knowledge is a very precious thing. It may be difficult for a person with rich knowledge to become an official, but it is easier than eating to become an official.

To put it bluntly, any scholar in the Ming and Qing dynasties can easily become an official in this era, even a county magistrate.

Of course, it is one thing to be a good official or not, but the qualifications to be an official are definitely secure and undisputed.

This is the preciousness of knowledge.

It is precisely because knowledge is so precious that it is very prudent to impart knowledge.

This is especially true for Lu Ru, who is rigid and traditional.

Under such circumstances, it is actually very difficult to get them to go to the Huaxia Academy to preach their theories.

In their view, it is all right if this knowledge is dedicated to the king.But there is no need to tell you low-level inferiors.

Besides, Xun Kuang is now the great sacrificial wine of the Huaxia Academy, if these Confucian scholars from Lu went to the Huaxia Academy, wouldn't they be inferior to Xun Kuang?This is also a reason for their reluctance.

Zhao Dan looked at the appearances of the Lu Confucian and Ai Ai in front of him, and immediately understood the reason behind it after a little thought in his heart, and immediately said with a smile: "It's a widow's abruptness to say, such a big matter, of course, I should invite the elders Mister should go back and discuss it more, but there is no need to be in a hurry."

After sending off a few old gentlemen very politely, Zhao Dan, who was seated again, let out a hey, stretched out his fingers and knocked on the table in front of him a few times, obviously in a bad mood.

The reason why Zhao Dan invited these Lu Confucians to enter the Huaxia Academy was that on the one hand, there was another school in the Huaxia Academy, and on the other hand, he also wanted to mix sand with the Confucianism in the Huaxia Academy. After all, Lu Ru and Xun It is well known that the situation is not dealt with.

But judging from the present, these so-called orthodox successors of Confucius obviously did not inherit the essence of Mr. Confucius at all.

Aside from other things, I have not learned such a great advantage that has been taught for thousands of years, and my head is full of obsession. How can such a theory progress?

And to be honest, Zhao Dan has already made a plan in his heart. After Zhao Guo dominates the world in the future, needless to say, those scholars who joined the Huaxia Academy will naturally be able to survive and even carry forward.

But like other hermits who are doing things on their own in Shangeda, or who are unwilling to obey the school of Zhao Guo and join the Huaxia Academy, they can only be run over by the rolling wheels of history.

Zhao Dan pondered for a while, then shook his head speechlessly: "Forget it, I've already given a chance, if you still don't know how to praise, then I have nothing to do."

What Zhao Dan doesn't know is that in the future, this decision to let Lu Ru go, will actually bring him and Zhao Guo some big and small troubles.

Chapter 681 Mediation (Fourth Change)

Three days later, the palace.

Zhao Dangao sat on the upper head, looking at the four monarchs seated on the two sides of the lower head, feeling a little bit complacent in his heart.

Wei Wangyu, Qi Wangjian, Han Wangran, and Chu Wangyuan, the four monarchs among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, are all sitting at the head of Zhao Dan now.

More importantly, since Zhao Dan is the leader of the alliance, these monarchs must salute Zhao Dan.

Thinking of Wei Wangyu's displeased expression when he saluted him just now, Zhao Dan felt very happy in his heart.

Seeing that you are unhappy, the widow will be happy too.

Of course, this is not because Zhao Dan is stingy, but because Zhao Dan received the secret information sent by Lu Buwei not long ago, that is, Qin and Wei have secretly formed an alliance!

Speaking of which, Lu Buwei's news was also delayed for several months.

According to Hu Yiwei, Hu Yiwei's spies in Xianyang had already received the news, but due to the unprecedented strengthening of Qin's internal attacks and investigations against spies from other countries, Zhao Guohu It took several months for Yiwei's spies and spies to find the opportunity to hand over the information.

Fortunately, although this information was a few months late, it still solved Zhao Dan's big problem.

Zhao Dan coughed and said unhurriedly: "I called you here today because you are all allies of the widow. I hope that you can also help each other under the leadership of the widow in the future so that people in this world can live and work in peace and contentment. May your people be happy and healthy!"

There are a lot of eloquence, and in general, they are all nonsense and clichés that are not nutritious.

There is no way to do this. After all, we are all rulers. The archways should be erected. Didn’t you see a few historians sitting behind?

After a while, Zhao Dan finally finished speaking and started to get down to business.
