On the coast of the Sanghai Sea, the Little Saint Village.

The little sage village is the main location of Confucianism and is famous all over the world. Confucianism is one of the two major schools in the world and the Mohism. Unlike the Mohism, most of the supporters are ordinary people, and most of the supporters of Confucianism are nobles and ruling classes, which also makes the power of Confucianism grow stronger and stronger.

Although Li Si, the prime minister of the empire, was a representative figure of the Legalists, he also studied Confucianism at Xiaoshengxianzhuang when he was young. Han Fei was also a disciple of Xiaoshengxianzhuang at that time. The reputation and strength of Xiaoshengxianzhuang can be seen.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang was led by three disciples of Xunzi, the former head of Confucianism, and also known as the "Three Heroes of Qi and Lu", Fu Nian, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang, who were responsible for the management and teaching and educating people. The three of them were headed by Fu Nian, and were the unscrupulous head of the Confucian Little Confucian Zhuang.

Fu Nian has been outstanding in talent since childhood and is favored by many Confucian elders. He predicts that it will become the hope for Confucian's future. In fact, Fu Nian did not disappoint. Although Confucianism under his command never entered the court to be an official, its influence has grown increasingly. Although Sanghai City is the territory of the empire, everyone in the city is known as Confucianism, so it is called the Confucian scholar in the world.

Anyone who knows Fu Nian knows that Fu Nian has always been a very calm and majestic person, but at this moment, there was a rare hesitation on Fu Nian's face.

On the table in front of him was a bamboo slip. After seeing the contents on it, Fu Nian's face never relaxed.

In the room at this moment, there was not only Fu Nian, but also Yan Lu, the second Confucian leader, and Xunzi, who had the highest level of Confucianism, were present.

Today, Xunzi and Wei Liao are, in a sense, the most respectable two people among the hundreds of schools.

Zi is a respectful title for men. The pre-Qin philosophers refer to the scholars and intellectuals who founded the doctrines in the pre-Qin period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, society was in a tremendous change. The old social order disintegrated, and the so-called ritual collapsed and the music was broken. However, people's thoughts burst out with vigorous vitality. As a result, some outstanding figures with their own opinions emerged. Some of these people sought to save the country in the times, and some advocated the art of kings and dominance. Their words were reasonable and formed their own family, which had a profound impact on both the current and later generations. These people were called the pre-Qin philosophers.

As time passes, when the world is in the world, Xunzi and Wei Liao are the only remaining masters.

Before Han Fei disappeared, he was expected to achieve this achievement, but compared to Xunzi and Wei Liao, he lacked some prestige and academic insights.

In Confucianism, Xunzi is the highest-ranking person, but he not only learns Confucianism, but also learns the law.

Whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, Xunzi has extremely profound attainments. Xunzi's two most outstanding disciples are both representatives of the Legalism, one is Han Fei and the other is Li Si.

Xunzi's status in the world can also be seen.

But at this moment, Xunzi is still below Fu Nian, just because Fu Nian is the head of Confucianism.

"Uncle Master, junior brother, what do you think of this letter from the 'Son of Heaven'?" Fu Nian asked.

The candlelight that was clear and unstable, reflecting Fu Nian's figure with uncertain heights, just like Fu Nian's thoughts at this time.

"Zhao Hao's words are extremely tough between the lines, and he did not leave any kindness to the little sage of sages. When did an outsider point fingers at the world's Confucian scholar?" Xunzi sneered.

Fu Nian couldn't refuse, so he looked at Yan Lu and asked, "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Yan Lu dared not look directly at Fu Nian's gaze. He knew that Fu Nian was already angry at this moment, but he could not resolve Fu Nian's anger.

"What the uncle of the master said is that Confucianism has its own rules in its actions and does not require outsiders to teach it." Yan Ludao.

"Bang."

The chopping board in front of Fu Nian was broken into two pieces by his palm, but the bamboo slips in the middle were not hurt at all and just floated in the air.

He still maintained his rationality in his anger, and this is Fu Nian, the head of Confucianism.

Fu Nian stood up and looked at Xunzi and Yan Lu, with unconcealed anger in his eyes.

"What do you think about Zhao Hao's accusation of Zifang of helping the Mo family of rebellion?" Fu Nian said in a deep voice.

The third leader of Confucianism, Zhang Liang, whose courtesy name is Zifang.

"Zhao Hao has no official position, and what he said is not an imperial edict. Zifang is a visiting friend outside, so it may not be a tangle with the Mo family." Yan Lu argued.

"Uncle Master, do you think so too?" Fu Nian's hands trembled slightly, but she still held back her anger.

Xunzi didn't speak.

The authenticity of the content of Zhao Hao's letter is that people like him who are mature naturally have their own judgments.

However, among the three heroes of Qi and Lu, he has always favored Zhang Liang. Just as among Li Si and Han Fei, he has always favored Han Fei.

The older the person is, the more paranoid he is, he is unreasonable and often makes many mistakes.

"The Mohist and Confucianism have always been opponents. The most important thing is that the Mohist is the enemy of the empire, but Confucianism is not. The city of mechanism is built among mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the Mohist can be without any scruples. But the small sage village is in Sanghai. Can the name of the Confucian sect in the world be preserved? Haven't neither the uncle nor the junior brother ever thought about it?" Fu Nian's loud voice echoed in the room.

Yan Lu lowered his head. He knew about this from the beginning, but he just hid it from Fu Nian. Now that the matter is happening, if he makes any more sense, he will only anger Fu Nian even more.

However, Yan Lu had his own concerns, but Xunzi did not.

"Mencius: Gaozi's First" once said that life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and that is what I want. Those who sacrifice life to achieve righteousness." Xunzi said.

Fu Nian laughed furiously: "Huang Miu, the empire is orthodox, and the Mo family is rebellious. If you help rebel and subvert orthodox, you deserve to be called "sacrificing your life for righteousness? Shi Shu, this is not how Confucian classics are read. Zifang's family was prime minister in Korea for three generations, and Han was destroyed by Qin. Now he rebelled with the Mo family. Whether he sacrificed his life for righteousness or wanted to avenge the country's destruction, we all know very well in our hearts."

"Why shouldn't the country be destroyed and the family be destroyed?" Xunzi asked.

"It should be, but he is the third leader of Confucianism. I am the head of Confucianism, so I can't watch Zifang pull Confucianism into the abyss that will never be restored." Fu Nian said firmly.

"Are there any people who are afraid of death among Confucianism?" Xunzi continued to ask.

Fu Nian's face also became gloomy and said, "Uncle Master, I know you are from Zhao, but Zhao is already in the past. Now, there is only Qin in the lower world. If you can't let go of your old grudges, then be a common man who will avenge your grudges. As the head of Confucianism, I cannot tolerate Confucianism being used by some ambitious people."

Xunzi's eyes became sharper, his waist and back were straightened, and an unspeakable sharpness suddenly appeared on his old face.

"Are you teaching me a lesson? Or are you ordering me?" Xunzi's tone was not kind.

It has been a long time since no one dared to speak to him like this. In this world, unless Ying Zheng comes in person, Xunzi dared not give Li Si any face, let alone Fu Nian.

"Uncle Master, in terms of seniority, you are indeed my uncle. But in terms of superiority and inferiority, don't forget that I am now the head of Confucianism. The safety of Confucianism and the future of Confucianism are now guided by me. Fu Nian devotes his efforts to this and dare not slack off at all. I also ask Uncle Master to understand it." Fu Nian's words were soft and hard, but he did not give in.

Yan Lu looked at the scene in front of him, feeling anxious, but didn't know what to do.

Xunzi suddenly laughed, his laughter seemed mean and sarcastic. It was hard to imagine that it was a laugh from an old man's mouth.

"If I guess correctly, you were moved by Zhao Hao's conditions, right?" Xunzi asked.

Fu Nian did not deny it and said frankly: "It is a blessing for hundreds of schools of thought that the Empire will reopen the Jixia Academy. All schools of thought have their own theories, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superiors and inferiors. In the Jixia Academy, everyone can show their strengths to attract the support of their own theories. The imperial ministers, even the crown prince Fusu and His Majesty the Emperor, will come in person. As one of the two great schools in the world, Confucianism will naturally take responsibility and cannot miss this grand event."

Jixia Academy is an official higher education institution in Tianqi during the Warring States Period. It was built in Tianwu, Duke Huan of Qi. Jixia Academy is the first special form of higher education institution in the world held by the official and hosted by privately. It is rare in the history of Chinese academic thought, and the magnificent "Hundred Schools of Thoughts" is centered on Jixia Academy in Qi.

As the central garden for the controversy of hundreds of academic schools at that time, it effectively promoted the formation of a situation of academic controversy in the world.

At that time, all literati and scholars who came to the Jixia Academy, regardless of their academic faction, ideas, political tendencies, country, age, qualifications, etc., could freely express their academic opinions, thus making the Jixia Academy a center of gatherings of various schools at that time. These scholars argued, questioned, and absorbed each other, and became a typical example of the "hundred schools of thought contend" in the Warring States Period.

The State of Qi has now been destroyed, and the Jixia Academy has also been swept into dust.

However, Zhao Hao's letter to Fu Nian mentioned that the empire was going to reopen the Jixia Academy, which was indeed a grand event for all schools of thought.

In a sense, this means that the empire is willing to accept their doctrines, provided that they are attractive enough to attract the favor of the ruling ministers and even Fusu and Ying Zheng.

Although Fu Nian never became an official, he has always been ambitious and takes it as his mission to carry forward Confucianism. The moment he saw this news, Fu Nian made a decision.

He won't miss this opportunity.

"Have you ever thought that this is a means for the empire to check and balance the hundreds of schools, pulling a group of people and fighting a group of people. Accepting the empire's enlistment means being enemies with many people." Xunzi warned.

"I don't think they are opponents of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, just as I don't think Xiaoshengxianzhuang is opponents of the empire." Fu Nian said confidently.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, there is no single move that can compete with Confucianism.

No matter which school of thought, Fu Nian is confident that he can fight for it.

However, facing the empire, Fu Nian knew very well that it could only lead to self-destruction.

"Since you have made a decision, why bother to ask for our opinions?" Xunzi said coldly.

"Although the Jixia Academy is established, the wine sacrificial of the Academy is still hanging in the air. In addition to the uncle of the master, there are people who dare to say that they are the number one person in the hundreds of schools of thought? They also asked the uncle of the master to come out to preside over the chief of the academic palace for Confucianism." Fu Nian bowed and bowed.

Xunzi did not avoid Fu Nian's etiquette, but snorted coldly and said, "When Jixia Academy was destroyed under the iron hooves of Qin, I never thought of entering Jixia Academy again. Those who have been destroyed will never come back."

The Jixia Academy in Qi State was destroyed under the iron cavalry of the Qin army.

At that time, Xunzi served as the "sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific

Therefore, Xunzi never had a good impression of Qin. In Xunzi's mind, Qin State destroyed not only his homeland.

"Didn't my uncle have no worries about the safety of the little sage of sages? The uncle's attitude towards Li Si and Han Fei at that time was known to everyone. Li Si is now the prime minister of the empire, and he is above ten thousand people. His temperament is not unfamiliar with him. Over the years, I have never dared to let Confucian disciples enter the officialdom, just worrying about Li Si's revenge. Now that I have the opportunity to let Confucianism come to the front of the stage openly, if I miss such a good opportunity, how can Confucianism talk about the future?" Fu Nian said excitedly.

Xunzi was silent. He was ashamed of this matter.

Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, family management, country and peace in the world, but over the years, few Confucian disciples have entered the government. As the head of the sect, the "Three Heroes of Qi and Lu" have been staying in the small sage village to "concentrate on academics".

If they had never thought about entering the government, it was self-deception, just because Fu Nian knew that even if they entered the government, they would definitely be suppressed by Li Si.

Li Si has never been a broad-minded person. His attitude towards the little sage Zhuang over the years has been even more ambiguous and unaware of others. However, as the head of Confucianism, Fu Nian cannot have a slow sense of smell.

"Forget it, since you have made a decision, I don't want to do anything more. The empire is in turmoil and may not be a good place, but you are the head of Confucianism now, and you may not be able to hear what I say. I will only give you one word. A gentleman does something and does not do anything, so you should do it yourself. The future of Confucianism depends entirely on your decision." Xunzi suddenly felt unconscious.

Facts have proved that he had missed Han Fei once.

This time he still prefers Zhang Liang, but he doesn't want to stick to his own opinions anymore. After all, he has a responsibility for Confucianism.

"Uncle Master, where is the wine?" Fu Nian asked.

Xunzi waved his hand and said, "I am not born, and Wei Liao is even more aging. How many people in the world can compete with you? You have always been low-key, but since you have decided not to hide anymore, you should have a spirit of no other than me."

Fu Nian was stunned, Xunzi had already left.

"Thank you, uncle." Fu Nian bowed to the ground.

"Senior Brother, have you really decided?" Yan Lu's expression was complicated.

"Junior brother, my senior brother knows that your life is miserable and you have the same illness as the ovary, but the general trend is that I must do this for the future of Confucianism." Fu Nian's voice was firm, without any hesitation.

Yan Lu didn't say anything, but just slowly closed his eyes.

He never could not fight Fu Nian's decision.
