In fact, since the prince of Chu sought to see outside Xunzi's gate, Xunzi immediately summoned several important Confucian figures, namely the Confucian priests in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and began to discuss this matter.

The reason for this is that Xunzi thinks that this seems to be a good opportunity.

Xunqiu coughed and said to the Confucian sacrificial wine in front of him: "Everyone, the State of Chu has been besieged by Han and Wei. The Crown Prince of Chu asked us to help outside the door. It is the best time for our Confucians to take the opportunity to expand their influence in the State of Chu. I wonder what you think?"

As soon as Xunzi said this, the Confucian scholars present were inevitably moved.

No matter for any school, expanding influence is a must-do.

A Confucian scholar pondered for a while, then spoke to Xunzi, "Xunzi, the Chu State is a wilderness and has never been accepted by education, and is about to be destroyed by Han and Wei countries. If he supports Chu State at this time, it seems a bit unwise."

Xunzi shook his head and said to the priest of the Huaxia Academy from Qi State: "I don't know what priest is. I used to be an official in Lanling County, Chu State. Although the Chu people are mostly like the Dongyi people, they are actually the same as the people of the Central Plains. They just need to be patient and educate without worrying about their rudeness."

Another Confucian priest said, "The problem now is that even if we are willing to help the prince of Chu, we may not be able to solve this matter. If we cannot solve this matter but blindly agree, wouldn't it be shameful to my Confucian reputation for nothing?"

Xunzi pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed a problem. The reason why I invite you to come today is that I hope you can brainstorm your ideas and see if this can be solved."

After a pause, Xunzi continued: "This prince of Chu was worshipped by Confucianism in the academy. He was considered a Confucian scholar and was very interested in Confucianism. He was also diligent in studying and asking questions on weekdays. He was an absolute supporter of Confucianism."

"I think my Confucianism has never received the support of any monarch for hundreds of years since its establishment. Even the State of Qi and the so-called Jixia Academy were just treating Mencius as a consulting guest. We thought that the Huaxia Academy would make this situation better, but the fact was not as we imagined. Instead, the Mohist school entered the Huaxia Academy."

"In this way, neither Qi nor Zhao are good places for Confucianism to develop. If we can successfully help Chu this time, then Chu will likely become the first vassal state to support Confucianism, accept Confucianism, and govern the country with Confucianism. If we miss such an opportunity, we will definitely become the sinner of Confucianism."

Although Xunzi has always been criticized as a heretic of Confucianism, he is still a Confucian leader after all, and what he is thinking about at this time is the interests of Confucianism.

Several Confucian scholars were moved after hearing Xunzi's words.

Although Confucianism and Mohism have always been called "Confucianism and Mohism", in fact, these two schools have never received complete support in any country. Instead, the Legalists, which were originally unfamous, have already taken root and blossomed in the Three Jin and Qin countries, and have produced brilliant fruits.

Among the several overlord states in the Warring States Period, the reason why Qin, Wei and Zhao are able to rise today is inseparable from the role of Legalism.

The Confucianism has always chosen to support Qi and Lu. Lu is a scumbag and it needs to be said that it has been destroyed.

Although the monarchs of Qi founded the Jixia Academy and made Confucianism the largest sect in the Jixia Academy, they actually only regarded Confucianism as a tool and never truly regarded Confucianism seriously.

Even when the famous Mencius was in Qi, the monarchs of Qi did not adopt Mencius' suggestions, and eventually made Mencius angry.

Under such circumstances, Confucianism actually urgently needs the support of a country and needs to prove that it is not worse than other schools, especially the Legalists.

Under such circumstances, when Xunzi said that the State of Chu might completely turn to Confucianism because of this incident, he immediately obtained the consent of these Confucians to sacrifice wine.

Someone said, "Since that's the case, then call the prince of Chu in."

Another person shook his head and expressed his objection: "I haven't even thought about the solution yet. If the prince of Chu is called in but cannot give any solution to the problem, wouldn't he be looked down upon?"

Under such circumstances, several Confucian gentlemen had to scrape their stomachs and began to think about what kind of ways could solve the dilemma in front of them?

As everyone present, it is certainly possible to directly advise King Zhao, but this is an absolutely impossible option to succeed.

The Confucian priests present knew very well that if they were to plead with King Zhao, the smart King of Zhao would probably have insight into Confucian motives.

You should know that the Confucianism now plans to take root in Chu State. To some extent, this is actually a betrayal of Zhao State and the Huaxia Academy. No monarch will definitely not tolerate such betrayal.

Since this is the case, we can only choose a more roundabout way, preferably a way to prevent Confucianism from being exposed.

Several Confucian priests discussed it for almost two hours without coming up with a good idea.

After all, these guys are all scholars, and they really lack research on these power strategies and are not good at it.

At this moment, a servant of Xunzi suddenly walked in quickly and handed a note to Xunzi.

Xunqiu was stunned for a moment, then after reading the note for a while, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Everyone, I think there is a way now."

Several Confucian priests looked at each other, obviously not understanding what Xunzi sold in this gourd.

Xun Zi didn't say much, and just circulated the note to everyone present.

Several Confucian priests looked at the note and their faces showed joy.

“This plan is very good.”

"This plan is very wonderful!"

Someone asked Xunqiu: "Xunzi, I don't know who this person is. The trick is really admirable."

Xunzi smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "I would like to keep this person's identity confidential for the time being."

Finally, Xun Qiong, a leader of Confucianism, made the final decision: "Since no one objected, then follow this plan. Come on, invite the prince of Chu in."

A moment later, the prince of Chu appeared in front of everyone and bowed deeply to the Confucian priests present: "Students have met you guys."

Xunqiu sat in the upper head, looked at the prince of Chu in front of him, and slowly said to the prince of Chu: "I don't know what the prince is doing when he comes this time."

The prince of Chu did not dare to neglect his intentions, and immediately explained his purpose clearly, and then said to Xunzi: "If you can help students this time, then when the students inherit the throne of Chu in the future, they will definitely repay Confucianism and make Confucianism the program of Chu."

Several Confucian scholars immediately exchanged a very excited look when they heard the words of the prince of Chu.

This is exactly the promise they wanted to get from the prince of Chu.

After hearing the promise of the prince of Chu, Xunqiu nodded, and a smile appeared on his old face.

"Crown Prince. I understand what you mean very much, but if we ask us to come to the palace to persuade King Zhao, this matter is actually useless. Because the king has a certain plan, it is impossible to get any changes because of the advice we have given."

After Xunzi said this, the prince of Chu's body immediately shook, and his face showed a very disappointed expression.

This is the last solution that the prince of Chu could come up with. If even a big man like Xunzi could not help him, then the young prince of Chu would have no choice.

But the next moment, Xunzi's words made the prince of Chu rise directly from hell to heaven.

"Actually... after the discussion just now, we have come up with a solution, but this method may be useful, but it may have a certain impact on the prince's reputation."

When the prince of Chu heard this, he spoke immediately, his tone was very firm: "Sir, don't worry, as long as it can be beneficial to the State of Chu, no matter what kind of strategy it is, I am willing to cooperate!"

Late at night, the excited prince of Chu walked out of Xunqiu's mansion and saw Lin Wujun, who had been waiting very impatiently.

"Crown Prince, what's the situation? You're not troubled by those old men."

The Crown Prince of Chu smiled slightly and said to Linwujun: "Linwujun, then Xunzi gave me a plan..."

After hearing what the prince of Chu said, Lin Wujun was shocked and said, "Crown Prince, how can this plan be used? It's too..."
