Chapter 84: Boss, why don't we work together inside and outside to take down...
Time flies, and four days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Jixia Academy, Xunzi sat at the top, Chisongzi was on his right, the Six-fingered Black Knight was on his left, and the rest of the hundred schools of thought were seated on the left and right.
Gongsun Ce sat in the center, on the right side of Xunzi. The seat opposite Gongsun Ce was left vacant, waiting for the hundreds of schools of thought to debate with him.
Xunzi's arrangement is to build momentum for Gongsun Ce and strive to make Gongsun Ce become the grandmaster.
The influence of a famous person's words is naturally very different from that of an unknown person.
Xunzi's experience told him that it is better to write books early. If he tries to do so after he has reached the perfection of a grandmaster, it will be too late.
According to the "Book of Han·Yiwenzhi", there are a total of 189 schools of thought that can be named.
However, books such as "Book of Sui: Records of Classics" and "General Catalogue of the Siku Quanshu" record that there are actually thousands of schools of thought.
However, there are only a few dozen schools of thought that are widely spread, have a great influence, and are the most famous. In summary, only twelve of them have developed into schools.
The twelve companies and their representatives are:
Confucianism: Xunzi, Fu Nian, Chunyu Yue
Legalist: Li Si
Taoism: Chisongzi
Mohist: Six-Fingered Black Knight
Yin Yang Master: Moon Goddess
Famous Artist: Gongsun Linglong
Miscellaneous: None
Farmer: Tian Meng
Novelist: None
The Strategist: Gai Nie
Military Strategist: Wang Ben
Doctor: Nian Duan
Gongsun Ce could only say that Ying Zheng did give him face. For a simple debate, he forced Gai Nie, Li Si and Wang Ben to come together.
Li Si felt a little uncomfortable facing Xunzi who was sitting above him. There were not many representative figures of the Legalists. The two contemporary representatives of the Legalists were Li Si and Han Fei, both disciples of Xunzi.
The representative figure of the eclectic school was Lü Buwei. There was no representative figure among novelists in this era, so no one came from these two schools.
As for Tian Meng, he was supposed to return to the farm with Tian Hu to report the news of Tian Guang's death, but he and Gongsun Ce had a grudge against each other, and he would naturally not let go of the opportunity to disgust Gongsun Ce.
Gongsun Ce noticed Tian Meng's malicious eyes and suddenly gave him a smile in return, which made Tian Meng frightened.
Tian Meng suddenly realized that it was more likely that Gongsun Ce disgusted him.
After Tian Guang's death, the Tian family, a farming family, was no longer as powerful as before.
The master of Kuiwei Hall is Chen Sheng, the master of Lieshan Hall is Tian Meng, the master of Chiyou Hall is Tian Hu, the master of Siyue Hall is unknown, the master of Gonggong Hall is unknown, and the master of Shennong Hall is Zhu Jia.
Several unknown hall masters, based on speculation about the future hall masters, are not from the Tian family at this time.
Therefore, if Gongsun Ce finds a way to give it a push, there is a high possibility that the Zhu family will become the leader of the chivalrous family.
Moreover, Tian Meng remembered that Tian Guang had a Shennong Order on him. If nothing unexpected happened, the Shennong Order was on Gongsun Ce at this time.
Gongsun Ce did have some ideas about the Shennong Order. For example, he used the Shennong Order to issue an order: The one who kills Tian Guang is Tian Meng, and the one who kills Tian Meng is the leader of the heroes.
Why kill people yourself? Gongsun Ce thought it would be a good idea to let the top leaders of the farming family kill each other.
The beginning and the finale are naturally the big shows, so Fu Nian starts first, Xunzi ends, and the others choose their own time to appear.
Fu Nian stood up and walked to the opposite side of Gongsun Ce and sat on his heels, kneeling, "Junior brother, please."
"Master, why are you being so polite? All the wise men of the Jixia Academy are here today. Why don't we join forces inside and outside to take this place, and from now on, all the Confucian schools will be respected."
Fu Nian tried his best to maintain his calmness on the surface, but he choked at the beginning, and he seemed to have forgotten his words. "Ahem, I wonder what Junior Brother thinks of the inner sage and outer king?"
Fu Nian's speech was very stiff. He ignored Gongsun Ce's words and went straight to the point.
"Brother, your turn is very hardcore."
Gongsun Ce made a joke, then said seriously: "Being a sage inside and a king outside is the correct answer. The people under my rule should be blessed by the emperor, with children to be taken care of, the elderly to be taken care of, and the widowed, lonely, disabled and sick to be taken care of.
Farmers have their fields, workers have their labor, merchants are honest and trustworthy, scholars are benevolent and virtuous, and the world will be united.
Foreign tribes are not under my rule. Those who invade will be killed, and those who surrender will be forced to do corvée. Those who are at peace with me will be forced to do corvée, and we will make full use of their resources. All the land and resources of foreign tribes will be used by me. "
Fu Nian was very satisfied when he listened to Gongsun Ce's discussion of the idea of inner sageliness. Coincidentally, Confucianism did indeed contain the idea of universal peace.
However, when he listened to the second half of the Outer King, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
Those who dared to invade were killed directly, and those who surrendered were forced to do hard labor.
Even neighbors who had lived in peace with each other would capture people and force them to do hard labor, and their land and resources would be used to provide for the people under their rule.
Fu Nian said that he had seen many Confucian saints who wanted to educate the barbarians, but it was the first time he had seen a living devil who was used as a hard laborer by a good neighbor like Gongsun Ce.
Xunzi on the high platform was also silent. It seemed that there was some truth in it, but he could not clearly express his agreement. The issue of being a good neighbor still needed to be considered.
Everyone in the nearby alien races knows that the main feature of the people of Kyushu is just one word - what a fucking civilization.
Fu Nian stroked his beard and said, "Junior Brother, your approach to the Good Land seems inappropriate."
Gongsun Ce took out a map and slapped it between the two of them. "To the east are Fuyu and Wuhuan, to the north are Xiongnu, to the west are Qiang and Di, and to the south are Yi and Yue. Did you see anything, brother?"
"Enemy after enemy, but all countries have fought back successfully..."
Gongsun Ce raised his hand to interrupt Fu Nian's words, "Brother, you overlooked one thing. After these foreign tribes were defeated by other countries, they all chose to recuperate and then make a comeback.
We in the Central Plains did not attack them because we were kind, and they did not attack us because they did not have the ability to do so, not because they wanted to live in harmony with the Central Plains.
The good neighbors that my senior brother mentioned are those who have no ability and can only survive in the cracks, like South Korea.
If South Korea is strong and powerful at this time, will it choose to stay in a corner or compete for the Central Plains? "
Fu Nian paused, he was a little out of control, so Fu Nian was silent for a moment and chose to admit defeat, "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother."
Gongsun Linglong stood up and walked to sit opposite Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, his eyes felt uncomfortable and he had a headache.
Gongsun Linglong was not surprised to see this. She covered her face with the round fan in her hand, leaving only her eyes exposed, which made Gongsun Ce feel relieved.
Gongsun Linglong thought for a moment and spoke softly, "Tongming, the Chu people lost their bows. When the Chu people found out, how could they explain why the Chu people were not human?"
During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Gong of Chu liked bows, so he spent a lot of money to make a bow and carried it with him.
One day, King Gong of Chu lost the bow while hunting, and the ministers of Chu State persuaded the king to look for the bow.
But King Gong of Chu said, "The bow was lost by a Chu man, and it was found by another Chu man."
This means that the State of Chu was a whole, and no matter who got the bow within the territory of Chu, it was equivalent to the King Gong of Chu getting the bow.
After hearing this, Confucius felt that King Gong of Chu was a bit narrow-minded and should remove the word "Chu" and change it to: Someone loses the bow, and someone else finds it.
Confucius believed that all people in the world are one whole, without any distinction between them.
Therefore, based on the allusion that a white horse is not a horse, famous scholars extended an argument that the people of Chu are not human.
