Chapter 75: Inclusiveness

A woman in white palace dress sat next to a shorter table in the corner of the study, frowning at a book. It was the princess of Shu that Wang Jinghui had longed for day and night. In fact, they met in the morning, but the two men and women in love, even if they were temporarily separated, they would have a strong longing for them. When he saw the princess of Shu, he was shocked by her focused reading expression. At this moment, when he saw Zhao Qianyu's expression, Wang Jinghui knew what a classical beauty was. Such a beauty is now very in love with him, which made him feel a little satisfied. He stood at the door for a long time without moving.

After hearing someone open the door, the princess of Shu in the study looked up and saw Wang Jinghui's gentle and clear eyes staring at her. The princess of Shu stood up and smiled and said, "Are you back?"

Zhao Xu, who was standing aside, saw that Wang Jinghui was still a little dazed. While he was amused, he gently pulled the corner of Wang Jinghui's clothes. Wang Jinghui immediately woke up and said with a smile: "We are back!"

The princess of Shu poured them two cups of tea on the coffee table. As soon as she sat down, King Zhao Xu of Ying said, "Brother Wang, there is something to do with Mr. Wang. I need to do. You talk to Qianyu first, and I will come." After that, before Wang Jinghui could speak, he hurried out of the study room.

After Wang Jinghui closed the study door, he returned to the coffee table to sit down. At this time, neither of them spoke, nor did he talk about poetry or playing checkers, but he just looked at each other silently, quietly enjoying the tranquility...

After a while, the princess of Shu still couldn't resist Wang Jinghui's gaze. She picked up the book she had just read, handed it to Wang Jinghui and said, "Brother Wang. This is the poem you wrote after I sorted out and copied it. Are you still satisfied?"

Wang Jinghui took the handwritten copy of the poems in the hands of the princess of Shu, but looked at the title of the book on the cover, "Lanshan Poetry Copy". After opening it, he realized that the collection of the handwritten poems included not only the poems in the book "Lanshan Poetry Copy" he published, but also a collection of poems given to the princess of Shu in the past. Looking at the beautiful and beautiful fly-headed small regular script on the paper page, the handwritten characters are much more beautiful than his fonts. Although he has been practicing calligraphy since he was absent from this era, he is not as good as those of them who have grown up with a brush since childhood. He looked at the handwritten poems and said, "The princess is really troublesome!"

The princess of Shu said softly: "Brother Wang is polite, this is just a small task! I hope that Brother Wang will continue to have many excellent works in the future and win the exam..."

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui understood the meaning of the princess of Shu Kingdom and said with a smile: "I should work hard and will live up to the princess's wishes! The exam room will live up to the expectations in March next year. I hope the princess will come as promised!"

To Wang Jinghui's surprise, the princess of Shu did not blush when she heard his words. She did not avoid his gaze, but said to him firmly: "Brother Wang is very talented, Qian Yu here to wish Brother Wang the best in the exam!" After that, she frowned and said with deep meaning: "Although Brother Wang is very talented, he must also be careful..."

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui didn't understand what her last sentence meant, but he also understood that the princess of Shu might be worried that she would fail in the exam, so she told herself. Before he could think too much, King Zhao Xu of Ying held a book in his hand, pushed open the door of the study, and interrupted the words he was still talking.

Zhao Xu went beside him, put the book in his hand on the coffee table, and sighed. Wang Jinghui saw the cover of the book "Han Feizi" and saw the expression on his face with a little discouraged expression, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, are there anything troublesome?"

In fact, the excuse that King Ying Zhao Xu just went out was because he wanted to give the princess of Shu Kingdom and Wang Jinghui a chance to speak alone. After being a light bulb for so long, he knew in his heart how embarrassing it was to insert it in the middle when these two people met. In addition, today the staff in the mansion included a new book "Han Feizi". King Ying Zhao Xu was eager to learn, so he went to pick up the book "Han Feizi". Unfortunately, he really met his teacher Wang Tao.

After seeing the "Han Feizi" in Zhao Xu's hand, Wang Tao said: "Han Fei is dangerously engraved and recites the purpose of the "Six Classics" and is willing to pay attention!"

Seeing that his teacher Wang Tao had such a big opinion on "Han Feizi", Zhao Xu said: "There are familiar debates on the astronomy of the Chinese language of the Hundred Schools of China and Confucianism. However, the reputation of Confucianism is not very good, but Wang Jinghui is not so persistent in this. After all, Confucianism also plays a great role in governing the country. Otherwise, the rulers of the Han Dynasty would not agree with Dong Zhongshu's style, but there is a problem in using it. Many people think that if Qin Shihuang kept Han Fei and used his theory to govern the country, perhaps China's history might be completely different, but history would not exist. If, Wang Jinghui was also not optimistic about this view. He wanted to use the cruelty of the First Emperor, Han Fei would not do much.

King Zhao Xu of Ying noticed that Wang Jinghui frowned a little, thinking that he might have any opinions on this, so he asked: "Brother Wang is talented, what do you think of "Han Feizi"?"

Wang Jinghui did not directly answer Zhao Xu, but asked back: "I heard for a long time that your highness is eager to study. In "Records of the Grand Historian", what are the heroes who were praised by Taishi Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Because the princes did not dare to offend a certain country for many years?"

Before Zhao Xu could answer, the princess of Shu counted in detail: "The Su Qin of Hezong is the first. The six countries of Hezong fight against Qin, which made Qin not dare to go out of Hangu Pass for more than ten years. I believe no one can get along with him! Wei Wuji is also one... and Shen Buhe, it seems that there are only these three people?"

After the princess of Shu Kingdom finished speaking, Zhao Xu nodded from the side and said, "There are very few people who can get such evaluation from Taishigong, but these three are worthy of it!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "I read the "Records of the Grand Historian" written by Taishi Gong. I remember that only these three people have made such achievements. Needless to say, Su Qin and Wei Wuji, just say that Shen Buhe is the sect of the "Shu" among the three sects of "Shu" by Han Fei. The sect of "Fa" by Han Fei. The sect of "Fa" by Shang Yang in the same period as him. As for the sect of "Shi" by Zhao Renshen. Zhao Renshen is rarely seen in classics. Therefore, his deeds are no longer verified; but the other two sects Shang Yang made Qin's reforms in one fell swoop. The country was strong, and later the First Emperor conquered the world was based on Shang Yang's reforms. Shen Buwei was a person valued by Han Zhaohou. The Grand Historian claimed that it was his contribution to the princes not daring to offend Han for fifteen years. Although Shen Buwei did not make Han go on the road of prosperity like Shang Yang, it was considered to be unique to be able to achieve such achievements! Han Fei was a great master of the Legalists. The three schools of the Legalists each had their own importance, but he was compatible and wrote this book "Han Feizi". I think the king's words were a bit too much!"

When Zhao Xu heard this, he nodded with a solemn expression, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Wang has also learned about the Legalism. I guess he is proficient in this way? However, the First Emperor finally lost the world by using the Legalism to govern the country, which is indeed contrary to the Confucian way of governing the world!"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Your Highness's words are bad! Although the Qin State has been strong since Shang Yang's reforms, the First Emperor brutally lost the world. So the people of later generations took this account to the Legalists, which was really unfair. However, the Legalists also had many immature places at that time. The Qin State's laws were harsh and led to the destruction of the country. The Legalists also had a certain responsibility. But your Highness should know that the Han and Tang Dynasties used Confucianism to govern the country, and in the end they did not lose the world? So I have some experience in reading history. I think that the way to govern the country cannot be supported by a single theory. It should be as compatible as Han Fei, and gather the advantages of each school to achieve great success. This is a relatively easy way!"

Zhao Xu was very confused after hearing this because all his teachers taught him Confucian classics since childhood, and naturally believed in Confucianism. Moreover, Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the early Song Dynasty, was a model of "half of the Analects of Confucius" to govern the world." At this time, someone told him that Confucianism was not perfect, which made him unable to accept it. However, Wang Jinghui's last sentence "inclusiveness" also made him very convinced, otherwise what else would he read "Han Feizi"?

Seeing Zhao Xu's confused look, Wang Jinghui knew that a person who had been educated by Confucianism from the beginning could not understand the truth of this, so he said, "Taishan does not establish likes and dislikes, so he can become truly high; the rivers and seas do not choose small help, so he can become rich, so adults rely on heaven and earth to prepare everything, and experience their hearts to go out to sea to make the country rich..."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu understood that Wang Jinghui was reciting a paragraph from "Han Feizi". This paragraph was actually written by Han Fei very much and highly praised Lao Tzu's thoughts. Han Fei also wrote "Xie Lao", and "Yu Lao" two articles specifically explain Lao Tzu's thoughts. He knew this. However, Wang Jinghui's ability to twist the passages in the book was very impressed by Zhao Xu. At least he gave him the feeling that Wang Jinghui's ability to use the words of the ancients as a quote is getting stronger and stronger. He really didn't know what this talented man's head was made of, and how he had such a good memory.

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "I heard that even the Saint Confucius wanted to go to Laozi to attend the lectures, and Han Fei also borrowed a lot of Laozi's things. Your Highness, what you want to say is that these saints and scholars, their thoughts actually inherited the theories and opinions of many people. Even the doctrines that are so opposite to the Legalists and Confucianism still have many views in some respects. In addition, the great sages of ancient saints and sages, do we latecomers still have to value which one of the knowledge we have learned so much?"

After hearing this, King Zhao Xu of Ying became enlightened. Wang Jinghui did not say that Legalism is stronger than Confucianism. For scholars of this era, you cannot change his beliefs with just a few words. After all, Confucianism has been ruled hundreds of years later, and Wang Jinghui did not have the mood to debate with Zhao Xu who is stronger and weak. This is meaningless. He is a smart person and will not do such a foolish thing. Instead of debating with Zhao Xu, it is better to change the topic yourself and let him realize that there are so many theories in history. Each of them influences each other, and is mixed with them. Inclusiveness is the mainstream. Anyway, he has opportunities. Now, he has a small crack in Zhao Xu's ideological defense line first, and then slowly influence him and change him.

Although Zhao Xu was still confused, Wang Jinghui's words were still very reasonable. Moreover, he was familiar with history books. He rarely saw that a certain accomplished emperor in history would really copy the Confucian style. In his rule, he would eventually use methods that violate Confucianism in some major decisions to manage the country and achieve very good results. This itself proves that in managing the country, it is not a school of thought that can solve all problems. Qin lost the world and forgot it because of his cruelty and incorruptible. There is also the problem of the Legalists itself. Wang Jinghui did not avoid it, nor did he defend the Legalists vigorously. Instead, he treated it with an inclusive attitude. Compared with his own teacher Wang Tao, the gap between this academic mind and his teacher, immediately appeared in Zhao Xu's eyes.

Although King Ying Zhao Xu really wanted to talk to Wang Jinghui on the issues of Confucianism and Legalism, Wang Jinghui had already made up his mind to avoid talking. In the future, he was still very impatient in Ying Zhao Xu, who was slowly simmering on a low heat. Because such academic thoughts could not be solved by his own strategy. In the 21st century, Wang Jinghui had few attainments in his peers, but he could not say what he said just now. These were the results of his analysis of the classics and historical books after he widely recited the classics and historical books and analyzed them from his own perspective.

In Sima Guang's theory of strategy, Wang Jinghui saw the outstanding knowledge of the ancients, and the most convenient thing he thought about was how to better play his strengths. Although he had an amazing memory and could quickly memorize a book from beginning to end, he did not have the process of cultural accumulation, and he was at a disadvantage no matter how he looked at it. However, what he cared more about was his own insight as a modern person. Although he was not as good as Sima Guang's strategic vision, the education in the 21st century gave him the ability to distinguish the uniquely in this era, which Sima Guang and others could not catch up with. Instead of trying to become the same person as Sima Guang and others, it is better to retain the way of thinking of modern people in thought, so that his unique thoughts can be highlighted among a group of Confucian scholars. The so-called classics and historical classics are just looking for arguments for their own views.

King Zhao Xu of Ying saw that he could not take anything out of Wang Jinghui's mouth on this issue, and the princess of Shu seemed unwilling to help with it. He had to give up and asked Wang Jinghui some questions about "economic theory". After Wang Jinghui came to this era, what made him most proud was to successfully sell his "economic theory" to the senior ruling leaders of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the process really made people feel like they were in a dream, it was ultimately successful that influenced the governing ideas of Yingzong and his son, Han Qi and some ministers of Fu Bi. Although this impact was still insignificant, Wang Jinghui had time to operate slowly. He believed that as long as the reference suggestions he gave them would continue to be effective, they would always change their governing ideas.

After selling Zhao Xu for a while, Wang Jinghui felt a sense of fatigue coming to his heart. Today he was so tired. When the princess of Shu saw Wang Jinghui's tired face, she gently pulled the corner of her brother's clothes. After Zhao Xu understood, she stood up and said, "Today, it's thanks to Brother Wang to help him make plans for the country. It's really a blessing for Brother Wang!"

Wang Jinghui finally saw the dawn of King Ying seeing him off. Although there was a princess of Shu next to him, Zhao Xu was not a qualified light bulb, and the topics he talked about were mostly boring and serious. He was tired today, but now he finally saw the dawn of Zhao Xu seeing him off. He immediately stood up and said something appropriate, and left on the excuse. However, before he left, the princess of Shu took him to the door alone, and solemnly handed the collection of poems she copied to Wang Jinghui. The two of them were speechless. Although Wang Jinghui didn't know what happened, it made the princess of Shu seem a little worried today, but he knew that the princess of Shu was hoping that he could win the exam and said softly to her: "Princess, take care of me, wait for me to come back!"

After hearing this, Zhao Qianyu's beautiful eyes lit up. Under the cold moonlight, she looked even more dazzling and said, "Brother Wang, take care of him!"

The carriage carried Wang Jinghui slowly on the streets of Biandu in the late winter. Although the weather was cold, it still did not block the night life of the residents of Biandu in this era. There were still people coming and going on the streets, and the restaurants on both sides were very lively. However, this did not attract Wang Jinghui's sight. He looked at the handwritten copy given to him by the princess of Shu in his hand under the dim lights in the street. Although he didn't know why when he saw the princess of Shu tonight, her mood seemed much lower than before, but he could feel that Zhao Qianyu's deep affection for him had not decreased at all.

Wang Jinghui can be regarded as a very sensitive person. He couldn't guess why the princess was in a low mood, but he still had a premonition that the huge gap between the two would definitely lead to some twists and turns.

"The only way is to win the exam. Giving marriage to the new top scorer is not a matter of losing the price, and the ministers will not have too many obstacles. As long as Yingzong Yingzong gives him a marriage, all problems will be solved. The future of himself and Qianyu depends on how I do in the exam!" Wang Jinghui thought silently in his heart.
