Xiang Xian's inquiry attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at Ma Fujun. They couldn't understand how the Qin people promoted Ma Fujun's thoughts so vigorously in Chu. They didn't know why the Qin people suddenly changed their strategy to occupy the area. Perhaps they thought of something, Zhao Kuo's disciples stopped drinking and quietly surrounded Zhao Kuo, looking at the people around them vigilantly. Zhao Fu and Xing sat on the left and right sides of Zhao Kuo. Obviously, as long as someone wanted to be unfavorable to Zhao Kuo, they would kill people.

Di smiled, and he sat next to Xiang Xian. He moved very close, his face full of smiles, but his eyes were staring at Xiang Xian.

Zhao Kuo was still thinking about Xiang Xian's words. The Qin people were really exercising their own ideas? This surprised him. He knew that he had spies from Qin people around him. The Qin people did better than any country in this regard. They had the best household registration system and tied up the people in the country. First of all, they had household registration officials, similar to household registration books in later generations, recording information such as the head of the household, as well as his wife, son, retainer, etc.

In addition, every citizen of Qin has his own identity information, which records in detail the name, age, height, residence, occupation and other information. It is very difficult to send spies to Qin. The pavilion chief of Qin is also responsible for investigating spies. It can be said that in spy warfare, Qin is an expert. However, in other vassal states, even the specific number of people in a county is difficult to calculate, and it is easy to get involved...

Zhao Kuo did not care about the Qin spies around him, and even among his disciples there were Qin people... Zhao Kuo glanced at Yang Duanhe beside him. Sure enough, Yang Duanhe was extremely excited now. When he heard Xiang Xian suspected that Zhao Kuo had joined Qin, he almost laughed out loud. How could a talent like his teacher do not go to Qin? Zhao Kuo's connection with Qin was just a correspondence with the King of Qin, but what was the situation with this horse-dressing book?

Seeing that Zhao Kuo had not answered Xiang Xian's question for a long time, the atmosphere gradually became strange. King Han wiped the sweat from his forehead and Ma Fujun went to Qin. This was definitely a result that was unacceptable and a result that was enough to scare him. These days, he, who had received Ma Fujun's education, obviously regarded Ma Fujun as the heir to Shen Buhe's theory and as the great sage like today. If such a great sage defected to Qin, would South Korea still have a way out?

Zhao Kuo still looked at Xiang Xian, and he said, "I did not serve Qin." Everyone was relieved when they heard Zhao Kuo's words. The tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated. The guests laughed again. Except for Zhao Fu and Xun, the rest of the people also pulled away and stopped surrounding Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo looked at Xiang Xian in front of him and said, "The truth I said is a way to save the world, take the people first, implement a system of benevolence and righteousness, and do not kill the people of other countries."

"A country that obeys my teachings will definitely become stronger because of this. No matter how powerful it is, it will definitely perish in a short period of time. What I mean by implementing a system of benevolence and righteousness is to reduce the taxes of the people and not let them suffer from corvee labor frequently. It is because the people are an important component of the country, and the interests of the people have become the etiquette of the country. What I am talking about is not the sacrifice Confucius wants to talk about, nor is it Yang Zi's selfishness."

"The king does not want to sacrifice his own interests for the country, nor does he want the king to only pay attention to his own interests. The king's reliance is his country. When the country is strong, the king's orders can be passed on to all places. When the country is weak, the king can only reduce his title and dare not become strong. When the country perishes, what is the difference between the king and the farmer? They are just poor people whose country is destroyed."

"Therefore, this is not sacrifice or selfishness. It focuses on the interests of the people, and the interests of the country are the most important. Recognizing that the country is composed of the people..."

"When the Zhou emperor was strong, wars rarely broke out frequently in the world. This is because there was only one emperor in the world, and all countries obeyed his orders. The wars today have lasted for too long and too many people have died. If you want to end the war, there is no other way. Only war. I don't think that everyone can end the war by dearing each other, and I don't think that restoring ancient etiquette can end the war. When the war continues and there is only one king in the world, this endless civil war can end it."

"The war I know is that there will be no invaders in the war of the same nation. This is a war of unity. Only another civilization wants to annex other areas, which is the war between the invaders and the anti-invaders. However, the reason why I regard Qin as an invader is because Qin's intention is not unified, and he does not regard the people of other countries as his own people. He regards other people as conquered and tramples on them at will."

This was the first time Zhao Kuo had expressed his thoughts on unification in front of everyone. Before, even when facing his disciples, he only tactfully spoke out the idea of ​​the seven countries in his mind, hoping that his doctrine could play a little role and reduce some bloody sacrifices in the war of unification. The reason why he did not express his thoughts on unification was mainly because he was worried that his disciples would return to his country and began to clamor for unification and make the war more intense.

But now, he was no longer worried. When Qin spread his horse uniforms, he had completely exposed his intentions. We old Qin people would not play the game of fighting for hegemony and annexation with the second and third sons, we just wanted to unify!

Zhao Kuo no longer hid it. Instead of letting Qin promote the idea of ​​unification that he might have misunderstood, it would be better to let himself tell everyone upright. Zhao Kuo continued to talk about his doctrine, but the disciples who could understand his doctrine were stunned at this moment. They were listening to Han Fei's implicit statement that the teacher wanted to save the world.

Today's exoteric studies belong to the three parts of the world, Confucianism, Mohism, and Taoism... or the Taoist Yang Zhu School. Mencius once said helplessly that in today's knowledge, the Yang Zhu School is equally divided with the Mohism. Mencius hated these two theories very much, saying that they were beasts without a king or a father. Later, Confucianism gradually emerged, and now, the Yang Zhu School gradually became unable to do so. Confucianism and Mohism are still relatively strong. Zhao Kuo knew that in the past period, the Mohism and Confucianism would also decline, and the Legalists began to become stronger.

The Legalists are not strong today, mainly because... a stuttering Legalists have not yet come out.

The three prominent families all have a way to save the world. The Confucian method is to restore the ancient ritual system and make the heroes obey the Zhou emperor. Of course, this is impossible now. Therefore, Mencius's people-oriented thinking appeared again, so that the king would focus on the people and not always think about attacking other countries.

The Mohist family’s way of saving the world is to love and not attack, that is, everyone should stop fighting and treat each other as brothers and sisters?

At first glance, the Mohist love is very similar to the Confucian benevolence. In fact, when the disciples of these two families encounter it, it must be a life-and-death battle. The Mohist love is unconditional love for everyone, and the Confucian benevolence is based on the gradual improvement of love for relatives, then for villagers, and then for the Chinese people. Let’s give an example of the simplest question: Your mother and I fell into the same time... Cough cough, no, it was a stranger and your mother falling into the river at the same time. Who would you save?

Confucianism must have no thoughts and wants to save his mother. He loves his parents the most and loves his brothers the end, and finally he can love others. But the Mohist school must have been thinking for a long time, because the Mohist school's love is an extreme love, and it is to love everyone. Strangers are just as important as mothers. Therefore, Mencius scolded the Mohist school, saying that they are beasts without parents, and they don't even love their parents, and they still want to love the people of the world??

Now Zhao Kuo proposed the seven-nation integration seems to be similar to the Mohist school, but it is completely different. Zhao Kuo's theory is that the seven-nation country is all brothers and sisters, and the elderly in other countries are also other people's parents. This love is based on family affection and homesickness, rather than loving everyone for no reason.

Of course, the Yang Zhu School also has a way to save the world, that is... don't love the people of the world, just love yourself. The essence of this school is to treat everyone else as strangers and manage yourself well. In this way, there will naturally be no war. If no one loses a single thing, there will be no Yao and Shun, no one will benefit the world, and no Jie and Zhou.

Now, Zhao Kuo proposed a new idea of ​​unification, which Confucianism has had. However, the unification of Confucianism is to restore the ancient ruling system, respect the king and expel the barbarians, and the princes respect the Zhou emperor together, stop the war and deal with the enemies outside together. Zhao Kuo's unification should be more radical. There is only one king in the world, and there is no other king. Under the leadership of this king, guarding his own territory.

This... was the way the Legalists wanted to save the world later. It can be said that Zhao Kuo spoke his theory in advance in front of the person who proposed this idea. However, his theory is different from Han Fei's theory. Han Fei's unification still did not change the relationship between the unified country and the unified people. Perhaps he had not had time to propose it, but he had already died in prison.

When they heard that the teacher really had a way to save the world, the joy of the disciples was speechless. No matter whether they recognized the teacher's thoughts or what impact this thought would have on their country, this also gave an additional path to save the world. War is not loved by everyone. Except for the Qin country that takes war as the foundation, most of these noble teenagers still hate war.

Many of their relatives died in war, while those with low origins have a deeper understanding of war. It is the greatest disaster for mankind, and the harm to people exceeds disasters such as drought, flood, locusts, etc.

But more people noticed that the method mentioned by the teacher seemed to work? It was obviously impossible for Confucianism to respect the king, and the Mohist love... Yang Zhu's selfishness... These are all pursuits. Although many people are implementing these paths, the end seems too far. Although the unification mentioned by Zhao Kuo is somewhat unrealistic, it seems to be feasible. Compared to letting the monarchs surrender to the Zhou emperor, and to let the monarchs love each other... Well... it is still easier to let one country destroy other countries.

Today, the one who touched the deepest sense of unification may be Xunzi. As the first sage of the Confucian school who went to Qin and recognized the Qin system very much, Xunzi may also vaguely turn Confucian respect for the king and barbarians into the respect for the king he understood... Therefore, he taught two scholars who wanted to unify the world. Both scholars hated Confucianism very much and never stopped verbing Confucianism, but in fact they respected Xunzi very much.

Unlike the joy of his disciples, Xiang Xian's face became extremely pale. He had always regarded Zhao Kuo as the successor of the Mohist school and loved to attack. Therefore, when Qin attacked South Korea, he would immediately bring people to rescue him, but now he found that he was wrong. Zhao Kuo was not the Mo family, and even he was completely in opposition to the Mo family. He did not want to stop the war, but to end the war through war.

Zhao Kuo also expressed his intention to stop Qin repeatedly. That is because Qin did not regard the people of other countries as their own people and wanted to persecute them. In other words, Qin did not massacre the people of Chu this time, so Zhao Kuo would not help Chu again?

Xiang Xian wanted to say something, but he found that he probably could not convince the sage who had just proposed a way to save the world. People like this were extremely stubborn and extremely stubborn. The sages of the Mohist school could endure poverty and sail on their own path with their heads down. The sages of Confucian school lamented the collapse of etiquette and music, wandered in one country after another, and told the monarchs the truth of benevolence, even though their doctrines were rarely accepted...

Xiang Xian smiled bitterly and asked, "According to your words, can I tie myself up and crawl in front of the King of Qin like a dog, and be considered a wise man who saves the world?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Xiang Xian, shook his head and said, "I am not trying to help Qin destroy other countries, nor am I trying to persuade you to surrender to Qin... What I hope is to stop the current war. If one day you are caught by the Qin people, they did not kill you. One day, you attacked Nanyang and captured the people of Qin. You did not kill them. This is what I hope."

"If I were a true sage, I might be able to leave everything behind and go to the most powerful Qin State to assist the King of Qin who is most likely to end the war and help him unify the world. However, I cannot give up my friends, my family, and I cannot betray those who trust me... I am a despicable person, a selfish person. Everyone in the world tells my deeds of benevolence and righteousness, only I know that my benevolence and righteousness are just small benevolence and small righteousness..."

"I can't do anything, so I won't teach others to let go of everything."

This was the first time Zhao Kuo looked directly at his heart. All he saw was a tangled and painful young man, roaring in pain among the people and relatives of the world. Zhao Kuo suddenly burst into tears. He looked at Xiang Xian and said seriously: "I really want to save everyone."

Han Fei looked at the teacher who was crying in front of him. He looked at the King of Han, with pain flashing in his eyes. Han Fei was the same. He knew how to save the world, but the price of saving the world seemed to be the demise of his own country. South Korea could not achieve great unification. The most likely thing to achieve was Qin. Only by sacrificing South Korea can he earn peace in the whole world. But what he pursued at first was to save South Korea?

The banquet ended unhappily, Xiang Xian left South Korea with his army. He wanted to save his country. Zhao Kuo could not accuse him of his behavior, which was what he should do. Han Fei walked in a daze on the streets of Xinzheng, and he did not follow his teacher to return to their courtyards. Han Fei looked at his country seriously. In Xinzheng, he did not repel the joy of the Qin people. The people hurried toward all places, but they were still timid. Even if Bai Qi left, their disaster did not disappear.

South Korean officials said that the treasury spent a lot of food to rescue people from all over the country this year. This year, taxes are probably needed to increase to enrich the treasury.

In the cold weather, the Koreans who had lost their arable land were kneeling on the street in anxiety, and soldiers came to expel them. How could such refugees appear in Xinzheng, South Korea? If Ma Fujun and others saw it, what kind of face would the King of Han have?

South Korea exists... Will Koreans live a good life?

Han Fei suddenly stopped.

ps: Yesterday I went to a few slandering the Internet. The Volunteer Army's pen was talking about the volunteers. The Volunteer Army helped the invaders, which was the North Korean invading South Korea. I actually don't hate ignorant people, but I hate ignorant people who still show off. North and South Korea are a nation, and their war belongs to the war of unity. North Korea is not an invader. At that time, the United States believed that North Korean invasion and the international agreement was disagreement. The United States had no choice but to admit that there was no invasion and sent troops in the name of pacifying local peace. How did the Volunteer Army become a helper invaders?? This is really incredible. But I insulted me with ethnic issues... what about him?
