Chapter 497 Zhang Jiao Miao: I can’t stand it anymore, I’m a traitor!

At this moment, Kong Zi meow seemed to feel something. He paused, raised his head and looked upward, and happened to meet Ying Zheng meow's eyes.

This moment is a historic meeting.

Although he had been here for more than a day, Kong Zimiao had not read history. He just felt a kind of kingly aura from the black cat in front of him, and in this royal aura, there seemed to be some mixed...

Unmistakable flavour.

One is the long lamp swinging in the long night of troubled times, and the other is the king who ended the war.

"Kong Zhongni?"

Ying Zheng Meow spoke calmly on the roof. Although there was no introduction from Meow, he still recognized the identity of the red panda in front of him.

The reason why I recognized Confucius Meow and Ying Zheng Meow was also very simple.

He broke the official school tradition that had been inherited for many years in the Zhou Dynasty and founded the first private school in Chinese history.

From then on, knowledge was no longer the privilege of the nobles, so there was no distinction between education and distinction.

Although the Qin State followed Legalism and pursued the strategy of "the prime minister must be appointed from the state headquarters, and the fierce generals must be sent from the army", at least the generation of Qin Shihuang still had a good impression of Confucianism.

Why?

Because the two ministers valued by Qin Shihuang Ying Zhengmiao, Han Fei and Li Si, were both students of Xunzi, and Xunzi was a representative of the Confucian school and one of the representatives of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period.

There are many representatives of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period, such as Confucius, Yan Hui, Zengzi, Mencius, etc.

However, compared to those more idealistic idealists, Xunzi was a more realistic realist. Under the concept of evil nature, Xunzi actually cultivated three famous disciples.

Li Si, Han Fei, Zhang Cang.

But what is slightly embarrassing is that he himself is a representative figure of Confucianism, while Li Si and Han Fei, two disciples, are famous for Legalism, and Zhang Cang is a leader in calculation...

Whether it is law or arithmetic, both are more practical pragmatic schools. This is also inseparable from the teachings of their teacher Xunzi. The reason why Confucianism was able to be active after the end of Qin and the beginning of Han was largely due to Xunzi's

Only with ideas can Confucians be active in the political arena. Many Confucian scholars even imitated the ideas of Xunzi's disciples and practiced Confucianism.

Therefore, because of Xunzi, Ying Zhengmiao actually has a good opinion of Confucianism, but some idiots are too jumpy, which makes Ying Zhengmiao a little uncomfortable with it.

For example, the famous incident of "burning books and harassing Confucians" in history.

Ying Zhengmao wanted to promote the system of prefectures and counties, but Chun Yuyue, a Confucian scholar, opposed the implementation and demanded that the children be enfeoffed according to the ancient system.

Someone stupid said this, how can you, Brother Zheng, get used to this society? So he struck out decisively and gave these old guys from Qidi a big shining sinus, and then ordered the burning of all books other than "Qin Ji"

Historical records of various countries, and private collections of "Poems" and "Books" that do not belong to the Doctor's Hall were also handed over for burning within a time limit.

Yes, that's right. The burning of private collections that did not belong to the Doctoral Hall meant that we only caught people who were doing blind research on their own, but those belonging to the government were still preserved.

However, the entrapment of Confucian scholars is purely nonsense. Historical records only record the entrapment and killing of magicians, which are described in "Historical Records: Biographies of Scholars" and "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang".

Probably the alchemists Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng and others, after failing to seek immortality for Ying Zhengmiao, privately discussed various aspects of Ying Zhengmiao's life, governance and seeking immortality, etc., and then fled with the huge sum of money used to seek immortality. So when Ying Zhengmiao found out,

He was so angry that he turned his anger on the alchemists and ordered a search and interrogation in the capital. 460 people were captured and buried alive.

And where did the idea of ​​cheating Confucianism come from?

It is recorded in Kong Anguo's "(Shang Shu) Preface" at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and Liu Xiang's "(Warring States Policy) Preface" at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. From then on, Qin Shihuang's persecution of Confucianism has been passed down.

This period of history was written by scholars in the late Western Han Dynasty, but there was no such record in the early Western Han Dynasty. In addition, the late Western Han Dynasty coincided with the explosion of Confucianism, a critical period for the transition from Confucianism to Confucianism. Liu Xiang and his son can be said to be old inventors of history.

, likes to make up stories every day, and many idiom stories are created by Liu Xiang.

Therefore, it is true to burn books, but it is false to entrap Confucians.

For Ying Zhengmiao, Confucianism was a good auxiliary that could perfectly promote Legalism. According to current research (Cambridge History of China and other works), when the Qin Dynasty implemented Legalism, it was often used together with Confucianism.

It is similar to the later Han Dynasty.

However, later in the Han Dynasty, rituals and laws were used together, and another type of rituals and laws were used together. The Han Dynasty was dominated by Confucianism and supplemented by Legalism.

Liu Laosan on the side also wandered over downstairs. The first time he saw Kong Zimiao, he also recognized Kong Zimiao's identity: Confucian.

Only the Confucian bachelors revealed the feeling that Miao was a little annoyed, and they were most annoyed by their red tape.

However, after his identity was reversed and he became emperor, Liu Bangmiao changed his direction and especially liked Confucianism. He felt that this Confucianism was tailor-made for him.

Which emperor of a feudal dynasty doesn’t like the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?

Other emperors don't know, but Liu Laosan and Liu Bangmiao like it very much.

Yuan Zhang Miao and Zhu Di Miao were naturally there, but for the two of them, they didn't have much opinion.

The father and son did not have much respect for Confucius. One was a beggar and the other traveled around the world on horseback. Naturally, they did not have that respect for scholars. However, Zhu Biaomiao was gentle and polite, and respected Confucius.

A look of utmost respect.

It's just respect, but there is no sense of worship like that of religious fanatics.

Perhaps when Yunwen Meow comes, he will have an indescribable feeling of admiration for Confucius Meow, but for Zhu Biao Meow, the crown prince recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang, this does not have to be the case.

When Chen Xing saw this situation, he couldn't help but stretched his waist and leaned aside to watch the show.

He felt that there seemed to be some different chemical reactions between these emperors and Confucius.

How interesting.

However, just when Chen Xing was about to watch the show, Qingzhao Miao, who had just returned home and had gone to work, suddenly poked her head out of the cat cafe, and behind Qingzhao Miao, there was Yin Qianxue, whose eyes were as wide as copper bells.

Qingzhao Meow was like an old mother who came to catch the children who were fooling around outside after school. She shouted at Chen Xing: "Chen Zai, what are you still looking at outside? Come back quickly to help make dumplings, make rice cakes, and fry dumplings."

, Fried rice cakes! There are too many cats in the cat curry, Su Shi Meow can’t handle it at all, and other cats’ cooking is not delicious, hurry up, hurry up! Meow~!”

Qingzhao Miao told me all the New Year's delicacies from the north and the south. Chen Xing's head hurt when he heard it, as if he was the Sun Wukong being chanted by a tight curse. He was full of pressure for a moment.

Chen Xing, who was full of pressure, did not hesitate and gave himself Confucius Meow's 'Holy Light Blessing', injecting a lot of learning ability into himself, and he immediately became full of energy, as if he had transformed into the king of scrolls, and he couldn't wait

I want to go over and make dumplings!

Now Chen Xing can't wait to take out the person who performed the skit in the Spring Festival Gala and replace him with it!

Chen Xing, who was in high spirits, rushed to make dumplings, make rice cakes, fry dumplings, and fry rice cakes, while only Confucius Meow and his three thousand Meow Meow followers were left in the entire backyard.

Zhang Jiao Miao stood aside and looked around cautiously. Seeing that Kong Zi Miao seemed to be talking to several emperors, he prepared to retreat secretly. He immediately called out: "Young men, quickly retreat with me and find a corner where there is no cat."

Let’s discuss carefully what to do~!”

Zhang Jiao Miao said hello, full of fighting spirit.

Although he has long known that his Maomao Cult is now out of his control and belongs to the Han Dynasty, but after all, he is the only designated spiritual guide of the Maomao Cult, and the members of the Maomao Cult will still obey his orders.

Taking advantage of the good opportunity of the Chinese New Year, there was no chance for the Han Dynasty to see it. They were delayed by Confucius. Zhang Jiao Miao decided to seize power and take back the control of the Mao Mao Cult!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Jiao Miao's heart surged and his face was full of joy.

It’s time to revive the glory of the Yellow Turban!

What Zhang Jiao Miao never expected was that the one call and hundreds of responses he had imagined did not appear. Many cats did not even turn their heads, as if they had not heard Zhang Jiao Miao's call. They all looked at Confucius.

Meow, there is no movement at all.

Zhang Jiao Miao:???

He showed an expression of disbelief, and after being stunned for a moment, he meowed in a low voice: "I am here, here, don't look at that hole!"

As soon as he said this, lightning flashed and thunder thundered, and there was even a faint sound of thunderstorm in the air.

However, even though Zhang Jiao Miao showed off his muscles, the cats taught by Maomao still turned a blind eye, which left Zhang Jiao Miao dumbfounded and disappointed.

And soon, he also felt the holy aura coming from Confucius...

Looking at Confucius Meow and Ying Zheng Meow who seemed to be about to start a debate, Zhang Jiao Meow could only let out a long sigh with a complicated look on his face. His back was lonely, lonely, and cold. He had the feeling of a hero in his twilight years and a strong man in his twilight years.

The cats around him in the Maomao Cult established by him did not pay attention to this desolate former leader, but they only wanted to be the Seventy-Two Sages of Kong Lin in the new era.

Zhang Jiao Miao humbly left the backyard and walked on the vast street of Maomao Paradise. He felt the bleak autumn wind and couldn't help but feel that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

hateful!

Zhang Jiao Miao clenched her little paws tightly and put her sharp nails into her paws. When she was about to take her little baggage with her and head to another city to start from scratch, she suddenly saw several cats approaching not far away.

Together, they seem to be doing something.

After seeing this situation, Zhang Jiaomiao couldn't help but be stunned.

Because he saw two familiar figures among these cats.

His younger brothers, Zhang Baomiao and Zhang Liangmiao.

Seeing this appearance, Zhang Jiao Miao couldn't help but snorted, and turned the kitten's head to the side, pretending not to see the two traitors.

The two traitors seemed to have a clear understanding of each other. At this moment, they suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Jiao Miao. They couldn't help but call Zhang Jiao Miao: "Brother, big brother, here, come here! Meow~"

Zhang Bao meow shouted innocently, while Zhang Liang meow smiled at the side and seemed to be holding something in his paws.

Seeing his younger brother calling to him, Zhang Jiao Miao finally thought about the love of flesh and blood and decided to go and have a look.

But what I didn't expect was that there were several different figures beside Zhang Liangmiao and Zhang Baomiao.

Liu Xiu meow, Huo Guang meow, Qu Bing meow, even Feng Xian meow and Cao Cao meow were all there.

All-star Han Chao Meow lineup!
