Qin Dynasty Novelist

"In the past, Duke Huan of the Qi State, the princes of Jiuhe, respected the king and the emperor, and fought against the barbarians outside the Great Wall."

"The barbarians, who enter the etiquette and elegance of Zhuxia, should teach them first. After three generations, they can be regarded as the people of Zhuxia. If they don't enter the etiquette and elegance of Zhuxia, they should be dealt with as a military strategist and punish them first."

"It's true, if you use legalist rules to determine the radius, and use the words of the king to determine the enlightenment, the integration of yin and yang can relieve the barbarians."

Fu Nian gave another salute, feeling the gazes in the hall on his body, although there was a little nervousness, but after a few breaths, he returned to his original state, thought for a while, and responded.

"Oh, what Mr. Fu Nian said should be the Confucian way of doing things according to Tao, right?"

Qin Wangzheng smiled slightly, and said lightly. In Xianyang Palace, there are also various Confucian classics. He has read them himself.

Still a little bit worse.

"Qin Wangming's theory!"

Fu Nian's heart twitched slightly. King Qin's words seemed to show some understanding of Confucianism.

"As few people know, Mr. Fu Nian's teacher is the Confucian Gongduzi, and Gongduzi's teacher is the Confucian Meng Ke. Back then, when Meng Ke was giving lectures at the Jixia Academy, he once said that the benevolent is invincible."

"More than a hundred years ago, King Hui of the State of Wei said: Jin State, the world is not strong, and the old man knows it. As for the widow, he was defeated by Qi in the east, and the eldest son died. The funeral land was seven hundred miles away from Qin in the west. Humiliated in the south. Chu. I am ashamed of you, and I would like to sprinkle it more than the dead, so what can I do?"

"Mr. Fu Nian should know how Meng Ke responded?"

Confucian Fu Nian was passed down to Meng Ke's lineage, so what he learned was also Meng Ke's lineage. For a hundred years, Confucianism has been dominated by the knowledge of Meng Ke's lineage, supplemented by other branches. Qin Wangzheng knows this.

But for Mr. Fu Nian to teach his heirs the truth, I am really a little worried.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be talking to the other party here now.

As the words came out, a hint of deep meaning flashed across his face.

"The sages responded, and said: A place with a hundred li can be a king. A king is like benevolent government to the people, saving punishment, reducing taxes, and cultivating deeply. It is the superior. It can be used to control the stiles to reach the strong armor and sharp soldiers of Qin and Chu."

Fu Nian is another salute, deeply speaking.

"Just... so?"

Qin Wangzheng felt that in the Confucian classics he was looking at, there were still speeches in the follow-up.

"When he seized his people, he made it impossible to farm to support his parents. His parents were cold and hungry, his brothers and wives were separated, and he indulged his people. When the king went to conquer them, who would be the enemy of the king? Therefore, it is said: 'The benevolent is invincible.' Wang Don't doubt it!"

"The king of Qin is above, this is the reason why the sages entered the world."

Fu Nian had a feeling in his heart. On the way to Qin, he had already guessed that his education as the heir of King Qin Yingzheng would not be so smooth, but... he did not expect that King Qin would say such a thing.

Even so, Fu Nian felt that he could handle it.

"Oh, since Qin State and Chu State treated the people under their rule in such a way that parents froze and starved, and brothers and wives were separated, but...Wei State attacked us Daqin several times, but was defeated by Daqin one by one. Why is Wei State like this?"

"Besides, I'm very curious, what is—the benevolent is invincible?"

Qin Wangzheng smiled lightly. For hundreds of years, there have been many Confucianists who joined the world, but there were not many who were able to be extremely courtiers. Although Li Si was a Confucian disciple, his words and deeds were even more Legalist than Legalist disciples.

What Meng Ke said can only escape benevolence, but the benevolence talked about by Confucianism is not in line with the Dao practiced by Daqin today.

Sure enough, Fu Nian wanted to stay safely in Xianyang Palace to teach the princes and princesses.

Qin Wangzheng was looking forward to how the other party would respond to this question.

Zhou Qing, who was not far to the side, also took the teacup from the handmaid, and drank it casually. Speaking of which, Brother Wang asked this question, and he was also very curious, and Fu Nian's answer would determine his treatment in Xianyang Palace.

Is it to teach those older sons, or the sons who are still in their infancy?

This seems like a lot of fun!

Otherwise, Li Si and the others in the row looked at each other unconsciously. His Majesty's question touched the origin of Confucianism. As the successor of Confucianism, the head of the sect, Fu Nian, did not know how to answer.

"There are five benevolences in Confucianism. If you practice them, you will be invincible in the world!"

"In the past, Wei State did not achieve this, but Qin State did. That's why Qin State is now stronger than Zhuxia, and Wei State's glory and hegemony do not exist. This is the reason."

After five or six breaths, Fu Nian raised his head, looked directly at King Qin in front of him, and responded to the other party's question with a loud voice.

"Which five kernels?"

The Qin Wangzheng is strange, how did the Qin State implement the way of legalism, how did it achieve the way of five benevolences?

Could it be that Fu Nian in front of him wanted to prevaricate himself with the words of "Han Feizi"?

If so, it would be too disappointing.

"Confucianism has five benevolences, and the five benevolences are based on the heart."

"One, the benevolent, loves the common people. As the sages said, the important ones enjoy the same with the common people. One should act the same as the common people. In this way, the common people feel a sense of kinship and happiness."

"In this case, the state of Qin used the way of legalism to regulate its subjects, and the subjects were one. .”

Fu Nian spoke methodically, with a slight smile on his face.

Not long after, the words of kindness fell.

"Oh, get close to the common people and walk with them in the same joy. These words come from the follow-up words of the sages and King Wei Guohui. The so-called those who enjoy the joy of the people will also enjoy the joy of the people, and those who worry about the worries of the people will also worry about the people."

"Taoists say that the road goes the same way, and it is true."

As Fu Nian's words fell, Li Si beside him felt something, turned his body slightly, bowed forward, and responded with a smile.

The Confucian theory of five benevolences, I hadn't heard of it in Xiaoshengxian Village before, but from what Fu Nian said now, it should be my own understanding, as expected, the style of being in charge of the sect has a deep understanding of the principles of the sages.
