Zhao Kuo gave lectures in the school room for the last time.

This time, many people gathered in the school room, not only his disciples, but also scholars from other schools. They were all gathered here at this moment. They couldn't sit still in the school room, and Xunzi and others were also here. They looked at Zhao Kuo seriously. Zhao Kuo put away all the sadness in his heart. He began to tell his views on the future trend of the Hundred Schools of Thoughts. He said seriously: "If a unified regime appears, ideological unity will definitely be necessary."

"All doctrines that cannot be used for the unification, all doctrines that hinder the trend, will perish."

"Mozi said: Only the doctrine that is beneficial to the world is the best doctrine. No matter how good the idea is, it will definitely fail without a certain foundation. Confucius said: To adapt to the laws of nature, do not resist; to be grateful to parents, elders and people with good fortune; to face the truth, respect and gain strength. The destiny of Confucius and the laws of nature naturally include the trend of the development of the times."

"I am not persuading you to completely abandon your ideas. What I said: You can make changes in accordance with the times. Only such a school can continue to flourish."

On this day, Zhao Kuo talked about his own opinions, including future trends, many changes in the future, and what various schools can do. Everyone just listened carefully, no one refuted, and no one argued anymore. When Zhao Kuo finished his lecture on this day, stood up and walked towards the door, the disciples stood up one after another, their eyes full of reluctance, and not all disciples could follow him away.

Xunzi, Zou Yan and several others also stood up. When Zhao Kuo came, they followed Zhao Kuo and followed Zhao Kuo. Xunzi first asked: "What you said just now: Confucianism may develop a response to heaven and man in the future... What does this mean?" Zhao Kuo explained seriously: "I discovered? Among the schools? Confucianism is a school that has been developing. After I proposed the concept of a king of the world, Zixia Zhishen officially proposed the theory of unity."

"I heard it? There are even Confucian scholars who have rushed to Qin to realize their ideas."

"So? I speculate... Confucians may link domestic disasters with the king to demonstrate the authority of the king? Of course, it is also a restriction of the king..." Zhao Kuo understood that he seemed to have said a little too much, but Xunzi said angrily: "I heard that the prosperity of the country is the result of the diligent governance of the king and the ministers. This is of course related to the virtues of the king? If all the kings in the world are as unvirtuous as Zhao Dan? The country obviously cannot become strong."

"But if the king has no virtue, God will bring disasters to punish his country, which I have never heard of!"

"How could Confucians develop such a theory?" Xunzi said angrily.

Zhao Kuo was stunned? If you hear more things developed in the future, wouldn’t you be angry to death on the spot...

"You just said that famous scholars may die... What does this mean? Is the famous scholars a doctrine that is not conducive to the world?" Gongsun Long also looked a little angry, and Zhao Kuo explained helplessly: "Of course it is not... the famous scholars' lack of honor? It may become the argument that the future kings fear the most. In the era of a king's world? All contradictions must be the temple and the place? It is the power of the monarch and the minister's power... The temple will continue to concentrate its power? The monarch's autocracy will go to the top step by step."

"Which famous scholars say that they are not good, and they say that they are respectful, which denies the authority of the king..."

"Do you think this is wrong?"

"I didn't say that, I just objectively talked about the future trends... As I said, the theories of famous masters cannot play a role without a certain social and economic foundation... This is too advanced." Zhao Kuo said seriously.

Zhao Kuo chatted with these people and walked into his courtyard. When he walked into the empty courtyard, Zhao Kuo felt a little speechless. He shook his head, sighed, and looked at these people again. He asked, "I am leaving Zhao State... Do you want to go with me?" Xunzi snorted coldly, and he said angrily: "Of course I want to follow you, otherwise, you may not necessarily say something bad about Confucianism... I have to stop you from doing this!"

"It seems that you are the one who says the most bad things about Confucians..." Gongsun Long said in surprise.

Xunzi did not answer him, but just asked Li Si to prepare something for himself, and Zhao Kuo looked at Gongsun Long and the others again. Gongsun Long didn't care. He said, "I have no support here. If you don't take me away, I'm afraid I'll starve to death here." Only Zou Yan said with a smile: "I'm going to Qi State, and continue to study and study in Jixia Academy... If I have the chance, I will visit you in Qin State."

Zhan was originally a Qin native, and as for Zheng State, he was still a little hesitant because his project in Zhao State had not been completed yet, but he also knew in his heart that if Zhao Kuo had not helped him, he would not be able to complete his project alone. Therefore, he also chose to leave with Zhao Kuo. However, before leaving, he would hand over his construction plan to Lian Po. If so, he really wanted to complete those canals.

When Zhao Kuo left the horse suit, many guests and disciples also rode in the carriage and left with him. Many people in the horse suit also followed around the carriage on foot. The people who chose to stay were in tears at this moment. They gathered at the door and stopped Zhao Kuo's carriage, but they were reluctant to let Zhao Kuo leave like this, and there were crying everywhere.

Ping Gong angrily scolded these people, "Does the second and third sons have no family? Ma Fujun is going to save his family. How dare the second and third sons stop him? How can they be so selfish?" Under Ping Gong's reprimand, the people who were blocking Zhao Kuo's car could only slowly make way for him. If Zhao Kuo continues to see this, these people are full of the villagers he is most familiar with.

Zhao Kuo has lived in horse costumes for many years, and he knows everyone here.

He could name everyone who knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Ma Fujun... Please don't abandon us..."

"Please don't leave us."

"If you are reluctant to part, then follow Ma Fujun! Don't stop here!", Gong Ping was still scolding loudly. Zhao Kuo lowered his head, fortunately waved his whip again, and the carriage gradually left the gate of Mafu Township and drove towards the distance. The people who could not follow him were following the carriage. Zhao Kuo could hear Gong Ping's scolding, but this meant that he also followed.

Finally, the noise in my ears gradually subsided.

Zhao Kuo asked Xing to stop the car, stood up and looked into the distance. He saw the Mafu Township in the distance and the people who were looking at him. Many years ago, Ge told him that the Zhao people had nothing. At that moment, Zhao Kuo wanted to shout, "The State of Zhao has me, but he couldn't do it because he didn't have that courage and confidence. Now, looking at the villagers who stared at him and only hoped that he could stay, Zhao Kuo still couldn't order Xing to drive back.

In those sad eyes, Zhao Kuo left here, and at some point, the news that Zhao Kuo was about to leave Zhao was also spread to various places. The Zhao people were completely excited and Ma Fujun could not leave Zhao. They wanted to keep Ma Fujun than anyone else, and no one loved Ma Fujun more than these Zhao people at the bottom. Because of Ma Fujun, they lived a wonderful life.

The officials dared not bully them anymore, no one died of labor service, no longer had endless high taxes, and even in Ma Fujun's fief, Ma Fujun never asked for any taxes from the people here. Ma Fujun was the hope of all Zhao people, giving them a kind of courage. Now, Ma Fujun is leaving.

Groups of Zhao people walked on the road, just trying to stop Ma Fujun's car and let him stay.

The people cried helplessly, yelling at the evil people who forced them to serve the emperor. The people of Handan even threw stones into the palace and injured many warriors.

This is especially true for the soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the Zhao army was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lian Po, who led the soldiers of Handan, was the most likely to discover this. The soldiers of Handan almost lost their combat effectiveness. They lowered their heads in frustration, and even their weapons were a little unsteady. This depressed and low atmosphere soon permeated the heads of all the soldiers, and they became confused and timid.

This made Lian Po very angry. He quickly led these soldiers to practice, trying to drive away this decadent atmosphere.

But within a few days, the State of Zhao seemed to have lost a spiritual pillar. The people of Zhao became dull and numb again. There was no longer the joy in the original places. From officials to the people, they seemed to have returned to the past. The streets of Handan became empty and no one went out again. Even merchants were not interested in doing business again. The ministers of King Zhao were also affected by this.

Wei Wuji resigned from office and was at home, drinking and having fun all day long.

Dong Chengzi left Handan and rushed to his own Bai Ren.

Xu Li was an exception. Zhao Kuo wanted to take Xu Li away, but Xu Li was unwilling to leave at all. Even if his daughter and son-in-law were going to Qin State, he himself was unwilling to leave. He drove him away and prepared to take his son-in-law away. He told Zhao Kuo seriously: he was going to die in Zhao State. Then, he asked Zhao Kuo to take good care of Yi, and then closed the door and ignored Zhao Kuo's request again.

He then resigned from King Zhao.

When King Zhao summoned all the ministers to discuss important matters again, he found that only Pang Gong, Lian Po, Zhao Hui, and Zheng Anping were left beside him... and the faces of these ministers were not very good. Pang Gong looked even more haggard and always shivered coldly. Lian Po was becoming more and more irritable and could argue with anyone. Zhao Hui became a little lonely. Even Zheng Anping looked pale and absent-minded.

King Zhao felt extremely painful and regretful.

He is such a person who loves talent, just like Chang'an Jun. Chang'an Jun loves horses, and Zhao's loves talent, this is a kind of persistence that is deeply rooted in the bones. However, within a few days, Ma Fujun, Xinling Jun, Dong Chengzi, Xu Li, Xunzi, Zouzi, Gongsun Long, Zhan and others left Zhao State. It was like digging the flesh in Zhao's heart. King Zhao had not slept for several days, his eyes were red, and his whole body became much silent.

The palace was quiet and no one spoke.

King Zhao summoned the ministers this time to re-arrange his posts. However, there seemed to be too many vacant positions, which made King Zhao not know what to do. He thought for a while before looking at Lian Po, he asked, "How to do farming this year?" Lian Po sneered and shook his head and said, "Farming? People from all over the world have no intention of working. Just yesterday, people from all over the world have gone to horse suits and go to various roads..."

"What we need to do now is how to get the people back to their hometowns and then discuss farming!"

"Oh...what should I do?" King Zhao shook his head.

"Ha, would this happen if you hadn't forced Ma Fujun away?" Lian Po said rudely, but King Zhao was not angry. He nodded and said seriously: "You are right. If I hadn't forced Ma Fujun away... this wouldn't have happened." Lian Po was a little surprised. He looked at King Zhao again. Did he hear something wrong?

King Zhao stood up and bent over and bowed to the people.

"This is my fault... Please forgive me."

The ministers widened their eyes and looked at him in surprise, without saying a word.

King Zhao then said, "I am going to use Pang Gong as the lord of Anyang... as the prime minister of the country... as the false prime minister of Wu'an, Xinping Jun as the Siko, Zhao Wu as the Weiwei, and Zhao Bu..." King Zhao quickly stated his appointment plan, which surprised everyone. It is understandable that Pang Gong is the prime minister of the country, but Li Mu, Wu'an Jun, was Ma Fujun, who was the confidant of Ma Fujun. He used him as the false prime minister? There was also Lian Po, who was here to serve as the Siko...?

Zhao Wu is the son of Pingyuanjun. He is weak and sick, but he is famous. King Zhao didn't like him very much at first.

After saying this, King Zhao continued to say: "I will reduce taxes from all over the country... Please ask the Lord of Anyang to continue to implement the reform of Ma Fujun, and let all the officials of Zhao State read the "Ma Fujun Book" through, please Xin Pingjun serve as the Sikou and implement Dong Chengzi's law. If there are people who violate the law, please deal with it severely. If I violate the law, please deal with it together..."

"There are also the canals dug by Zheng State. If I want to use all my wealth to support this matter, I must complete this matter."

"Promote talented officials in the country and punish those cruel officials who oppress the people... set up school departments in various parts of Zhao State... to cultivate more talents, I will add governors and send them to various places for supervision... Those who dare to violate the reform will personally cut off his head."

"Please help me and govern Zhao State."

"Waiting for the horse to come home."

"only!!!!"
