Chapter 51 Xun Kuang and Han Fei

Qi State is a very interesting country. In today's era when a country is generally defined by strength and weakness, Qi State is a country that is difficult to describe by the concept of strength and weakness.

If Qi is said to be weak, it is the richest country in the world. But if you think Qi is a strong country, then you will be sad to find that in this rich country, people's hearts have been broken and the backbone of the country has been removed.

It is like a wealthy little landlord, who just wants to live his own life behind closed doors and is indifferent to the changes in the outside world.

Such a strange Qi State also created a cultural holy place in the world: Jixia Academy.

Here, no matter which school you come from among the various schools of thought, as long as you have real talent and knowledge, you will definitely find your own place.

There are teachers and scholars from all over the world here, and scholars from all over the world. Of course, except for Qin, the people of Qin are more interested in war. But no matter where they come from, they all have one common characteristic, that is, they all belong to the elites of this era, and among these people there is a shining star. In front of him, no matter what your background or achievements you have, they will be eclipsed in front of him, and he is Xunzi.

Xunzi, the only master of contemporary Confucianism who studied the ideas of hundreds of schools in his early years, then became part of Confucianism, and eventually surpassed the constraints of Confucianism.

Xunzi is just entering his sixties. For people of this era, this is already a very old age, but for Xunzi, it is the peak of his life at this time. His energy has not yet declined, and his accumulation of knowledge has reached its peak.

If he was praised by the world as a Confucian master before, then he deserved it now. Moreover, he is about to do something that can surpass his predecessors, and compile it into this world and may be the largest collection of books.

Qin State obtained hundreds of years of collection of books from Zhou and Chu State, and combined with the accumulation of its own country, the scale of the collection is naturally the best in the world, but it is also because of the large number of books that seem to be messy, and sorting these books into books has become an urgent task.

For Xunzi, if there is anything that can tempt him, those classics he has not seen before are the most attractive bait.

He could not refuse the invitation from the King of Qin. Although he knew that the King of Qin might be using him, those were just irrelevant final chapters compared to temptation.

After all, it is impossible for people to take up all the benefits.

For the possible goal, what's wrong with being exploited even if it is used.

So since the Confucian disciple Mao Jiao received the handwritten letter from the King of Qin, Xunzi, who seemed to have nothing to impress him in Mao Jiao, agreed to the invitation very happily.

For this reason, Xunzi began to find helpers among the many disciples of Jixia Academy. In his mind, there was actually the most suitable candidate. One of his many students he intended to accept as his disciple: Han Fei.

Xunqiu is very fond of Han Fei's talent. Of course, if it is just like this, it is not worth Xunqiu's different view of Han Fei. The only thing that Jixia Academy does not lack geniuses.

What Han Fei really made Xunzi love was his own character.

Han Fei and Xunzi were very similar in character when they were young, with cheerful personality, humorous people, and valued feelings and righteousness. Of course, the most important point is that Han Fei was as clever as Xunzi.

But that was South Korea, a country that had just been destroyed by Qin and was detained in Xianyang except for two or three people. How could Han Fei go back to that place? Maybe one day he will go back, but it is definitely not now, and it is definitely not as a disciple.

Although Xunqiu wanted to bring Han Fei with him, considering Han Fei's background and position, Xunqiu still rejected this intention in his heart. Han Fei, who knew that since the destruction of South Korea, appeared again in Xunqiu's study and explained his purpose.

"Do you want to go to Xinzheng with me?" Xunzi was very surprised by Han Fei's sudden visit.

"Yes, teacher, please bring the students with you." Han Fei's face, which had lost a lot of weight, showed a hint of praying.

"What are you going to do? If you just take revenge, I can only refuse, because that will harm you." Xunzi said.

"revenge?"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There are millions of people in South Korea and 100,000 elite soldiers, and they are still destroyed by Qin. What kind of revenge is I, a scholar, what kind of revenge? Then a soldier from Qin can kill me."

"Then what are you asking?" Xun Quan asked.

"I want to make myself stronger, and only teacher can help me do this." Han Fei said bluntly.

"What then?" Xunzi asked.

"Then see how the King of Qin wiped out the world step by step, and how the King of Qin will govern the world." Han Fei replied.

"Hmm? After hearing what you said, I seem to be very sure that the King of Qin can unify the world."

"Qin State is too strong. The foundation laid by the sixth generation of Qin King has given Qin State the strength to unify the world. In addition, the Qin King is not weaker than the sixth generation of Qin King. Such a Qin State cannot be competed with by the sixth country. The demise of South Korea is just the beginning."

"But the person you don't want to give up just now, Han Fei, I know you. You may not care about Korea, but you cannot care about your relatives. Now that your relatives are all imprisoned by the King of Qin, can you sit back and ignore them?"

"How could he not care, but because of this, he needs to endure it. The fourth brother didn't know this, which caused the murderous disaster." Han Fei smiled bitterly.

"Participation, both patience and of course, there are moments of explosion. When is that moment?"

"As a matter of course, everything can't be hidden from the teacher's eyes. I firmly believe that the unification of Qin State is difficult to stop, but it is more difficult to govern the world than to conquer the world. Qin State has used six generations of Qin Kings and Ying Zheng to complete the great cause of conquering the world. Although the time it takes to govern the world will not be used so much, it is not something that a generation of Qin Kings can accomplish. Qin State has already produced seven generations of heroic rulers in a row. I don't believe that Qin State will have an eighth or even a ninth generation of heroic rulers. God cannot love Qin State so much. Once there are problems in Qin State, South Korea will have a chance." Han Fei explained.

"If you want to see that day, the premise is to live long enough. If so, I advise you to be better off as a Taoist, so that you can live long enough." Xunzi joked.

"Taoism only cultivates oneself and is difficult to plan a country. Although it can live a long life, it is not acceptable." Han Fei shook his head and said.

"Can you guarantee that you can live longer than the King of Qin?" Xuncun pointed at the key point.

"I don't know how long I can live, but I know that the King of Qin will find it difficult to live long. He is too smart and too greedy."

"Please agree to my request." After that, Han Fei was already worshipping him.

"When you know how to bear, I have decided to agree to you." Xunzi helped Han Fei up.

"There is another thing to ask you, the teacher."

"I already know. Regarding your identity, do you know that the King of Qi had intended to give you to Qin before, but the King of Qin refused."

"Is there such a thing?" Han Fei said unexpectedly.

"Although it was a bit unexpected, the more impossible things that could happen to King Qin like this, so you only need to remember a little bit of what you said, patiently, as for the others, forget about it for the time being." Xun Zi said.

What Han Fei said is indeed reasonable. Although it is difficult for Qin to destroy the six kingdoms, it is possible to do it. However, governing the world is more difficult than conquering the world. Will God give Qin a chance to have not produced a generation of foolish monarchs in more than a hundred years?

Too many countries prospered because of one person and declined because of one person. Qin could not escape such a fate. What's more, although the country the King of Qin wanted to establish was unprecedentedly powerful, if he wanted to control such a huge country that had never appeared in history, he could only be Ying Zheng himself. Not to mention a foolish monarch, even a wise monarch may not be able to control such a country.

After the peak, it is always a downhill road, which is the law between heaven and earth. When the Qin State is strong to the peak, decline will inevitably occur.

Could Ying Zheng break such a fate?
