The bright moon dominated the world during the Qin Dynasty

"Today we will talk about Mencius!"

The sunshine in Guigu is very warm, and the wind blows gently, bringing a refreshing feeling on this hot summer day.

Zhao Shuang yawned and turned his head boredly.

On the side, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were paying close attention to Xun Kuang's class. At this time, they still looked like teenagers, but they vaguely looked like the heroes who would conquer the world in the future.

Guigu's teaching staff is strong. Although Guiguzi has always accepted only two disciples, except for Guiguzi, any one who teaches these two disciples is a big shot who can shock the world.

Ever since he was caught by Xun Kuang that day, he insisted that he was short of a bookboy. He found Zhao Shuang very pleasing to his eyes, so he requisitioned him on the spot.

Zhao Shuang was very depressed. His appearance was not pleasing to the eye. Of course, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

It's just that Zhao Shuang couldn't figure out why he had to go to class with him?

I hate going to class the most.

"Master!"

Just when Xun Kuang was halfway through speaking, Wei Zhuang, the prickly man, started to get angry.

"What's the matter?"

"Just now Master said, 'Those who use force and pretend to be benevolent will dominate, and hegemony will lead to a big country.' I don't understand."

Xun Kuang did not get angry when he was interrupted. He is just a visiting professor, and those under him are not Confucian disciples, so they do not need to abide by Confucian etiquette.

"What don't you understand?"

"Since the Jin Dynasty was divided into three parts, various countries have implemented reforms one after another. The offensive and defensive power is only based on the people, cities, fields, and taxes, but can it be based on benevolence and righteousness?"

Xun Kuang was very satisfied when he met such a student who was eager to learn and knew how to think. He touched his beard and didn't care at all about Wei Zhuang's objection.

That is impossible!

However, Xun Kuang didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, for a famous teacher like him, the more prickly his students were, the more interesting it would be.

"What do you think?"

"I also think that Xiaozhuang is right."

Gai Nie's words made Zhao Shuang couldn't help but smile.

The academic views of various schools of thought are different, and some are even completely opposite.

Zhao Shuang didn't understand why Xun Kuang came to Guigu? Of course, Xunzi came only to teach, not to accept disciples.

However, this is still a bit strange.

You, a Confucian saint, come to teach two political figures about benevolence and righteousness?

What's the difference between this and causing trouble?

The vertical and horizontal heroes have always been at odds, but now, the always gentle Ge Nie can't help but side with Wei Zhuang.

"Xiao Shuang, what do you think?"

"Benevolence and righteousness are swords that can conquer a country and a city without spending any money on soldiers and armor."

Zhao Shuang's words attracted the attention of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

Xun Kuang, on the other hand, was not much surprised.

If it had been any other great scholar, after hearing Zhao Shuang's words, he would have cursed him with all his heart, and said something sad and sad that a boy cannot be taught.

Although Xun Kuang is called a Confucian saint, he is an anomaly. Several of his disciples, such as Han Fei and Li Si, are all Legalists.

"What's the explanation?"

"'Benevolence is based on forgiveness, and righteousness is based on trust.' At that time, Guanzi used the skill of lightness and severity to help Qi 'nine princes unite to rule the world.' Thirty-five years after Qi Huan unified the country, the name of benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world. Benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world. It’s a sword, isn’t it?”

Xun Kuang frowned slightly. You must know that he had criticized Duke Huan of Qi, the first tyrant of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Duke Huan of Qi has many bright spots and even more black material. He did not listen to Guan Zhong's dying words and appointed Yi Ya and Diao Shu as prime ministers, which almost ruined Qi.

With the help of a group of filial sons, the body was not even collected after death, which is even more embarrassing.

Zhao Shuang's statement is a new idea for Xunzi.

wrong!

Xunzi thought about it carefully, and found that there was hidden damage in this boy's words. He was quite mean, even more irritating than Wei Zhuang!

As soon as he said this, Gai Nie raised his head slightly, his eyes sparkling; Wei Zhuang even narrowed his eyes, looking at the little fat man next to him with a complicated face.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang have always wondered why their teacher would let an outsider enter the Ghost Valley to study with them.

Now, they kind of understand.

"That's it for today's lessons."

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised that Xun Kuang was a little absent-minded today, as if his mind was not on the lecture.

But Zhao Shuang didn't care. After Xunzi finished speaking, he jumped up, swayed his fat body, and went to eat without any nostalgia.

"how?"

Guiguzi put his hands behind his back, while Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang stood behind. Guiguzi didn't say clearly what it was, but the two of them already knew it.

"who is he?"

Wei Zhuang's expression was very serious. Although they had been together for nearly three months, they had no idea about the identity of this little fat man.

"Does it matter who he is?"

Guiguzi asked back.

"Of course it's important for future opponents."

A raging fire arose in Wei Zhuang's heart, and few people could make him feel both hostility and admiration at the same time.

Gai Nie is one, and this little fat man is another.

"Nie'er, what do you think?"

"Disciple also wants to know."

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are essentially the same type of people. They may seem gentle, but they are no less competitive than Wei Zhuang.

"It's in the bag, you will know it sooner or later, so get down!"

Gui Guzi did not reveal it, but both Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were unwilling to do so and retreated.

"What a whetstone."

Xunzi smiled slightly and walked out.

What kind of person is Xunzi? When I first met Zhao Shuang, I knew someone was setting up a trap, and I also understood who was setting it up.

Guigu has only accepted two disciples in its history.

It's just the love of talents that both Guiguzi and Xunzi have.

Guiguzi needed a legitimate excuse to let Zhao Shuang enter Guiguzi.

"Old Si Zhao, this old guy, has been retreating to the valley since the Chu Kingdom was completely defeated in Nanjun. Unexpectedly, he set up this trap to lure me into the trap."

Zhao Laosi hoped that the Qilin talent in the family would be taught by a famous teacher, Gui Guzi wanted this whetstone to sharpen his two disciples, and Xunzi could not bear to have this talented person hang out among bandits all day long and waste his talent. .

"When Taigong fishes, those who are willing will take the bait. If you don't want to, who can force you?"

Guiguzi smiled and told a fact.

"Forget it! March is approaching. I originally wanted to bring Zhao Shuang back to Xiaoshengxian Manor for further teaching. But something unexpected happened and I had to rush back to Qi as soon as possible. It will be inconvenient to take him with me, so I will leave him for now. Stay in Guigu!"

"Is he going to leave the mountain?"

Gui Guzi's expression changed, and he seemed to understand somewhat. What was the urgent matter that Xunzi was talking about?

"The Xiang clan has been in and out of Eguan Mountain frequently recently, and he's a little moved."

Xunzi sighed slightly and shook his head.

"If everyone in this world could be as happy as Zhao Laosi and accept fate, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the world."

"Things in this world are easier said than done. It has been fifty years, is he still not willing to give in after all?"

Guiguzi looked up and saw clouds rolling in the sky, and the wind was blowing loudly in his ears.

Times create heroes, and heroes can also create times.

In this world of great strife for hundreds of years, countless heroes have appeared on the scene, hoping to change this troubled world with their own efforts.

Some have been successful for the time being, while others are still waiting for their chance.

After Xunzi left, the room was empty, and Guiguzi touched his beard. The sky was calm, but he could already feel the torrential rain that was coming.

"That's going to change today!"
