Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

At the entrance of the Little Sage Village, there is the sound of a silk bamboo orchestra.

Xunzi led many Confucian disciples and was welcoming the arrival of the first emperor Yingzheng with the gift of the Son of Heaven.

Hundreds of Confucian disciples lined up in two rows, and each disciple played ceremonial music to greet the supreme First Emperor.

Ying Wei stood behind Ying Zheng and also accepted the worship of these Confucian disciples.

I saw a refreshed and handsome old man, who came to Yingzheng and bowed to him: "Xun Qing leads the Confucian disciples, see Your Majesty!"

"Xun Qing is exempt!"

Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly, and his momentum was magnificent.

Many Confucian disciples bowed their heads and expressed their respect.

But both Ying Zheng and Ying Wei can perceive that these Confucian disciples are not really obedient to Ying Zheng, and they still have dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Ying Wei understands very well that Confucianism follows etiquette, mainly based on Zhou etiquette, which is the way of seeking the ancients.

And many of Yingzheng's behaviors and policies are almost completely abolished Confucian etiquette, which can be said to be a denial of the essential core of Confucianism, how can they really be convinced.

In particular, the Qin state, which was strong on Legalism, scoffed at the Confucian concept of benevolence and righteousness, which was even more inconsistent with Confucian concepts.25

It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and now that the Qin State dominates the world, even Confucianism, one of the two great scholars today, does not dare to show any disobedience in the face of the behemoth of the Qin State.

Even if they are not convinced in their hearts, they must show a surrender on the surface.

Confucianism in this era was completely different from later generations, and it did not have an overly lofty status.

Even in the official history, until the early Han Dynasty, the status of Confucianism was still not very good, and the king would never govern the country with Confucianism.

It was not until the period of Emperor Wu that Dong Zhongshu made that set of theories of heaven and man induction, so that Confucianism completely became the need to serve the ruling class, so that hundreds of schools of Confucianism were distributed.

But Confucianism in this period was not accepted by the rulers.

To say that the only one who will accept Confucianism is the Qi State, mainly because the Qi State has not experienced too much war, so that they are full of food and can develop this set of doctrines.

And the final outcome of the Confucian-revering Qi State, as it is now, surrendered to the Qin State without any resistance.

But this does not mean that these Confucian students in the land of Qilu will agree with the Qin State's set of governing concepts.

However, no matter how disdainful the Confucian disciples looked down on this set of governing concepts of the Qin State, when facing the first emperor who was in the middle of the sky, they did not dare to have any superficial disobedience, and respectfully welcomed him into the little sage village.

"I want to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, Xun Qing is a scholar, can you tell me how this Zen ceremony will be carried out?"

After greeting each other, Ying Zheng bluntly asked about his purpose.

And when they heard that Ying Zheng wanted to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, the faces of these Confucian disciples were very ugly.

One thing to be sure of is that the cultures of different regions in this era were completely different.

In the eyes of later generations, these things are normal things, but in this era, they belong to the collision of different cultures.

For example, the culture of the Qin State is the Five Virtues, and the Chu State is the Nine Songs Sacrifice System.

The culture of Qilu is completely different, and today's Chinese civilization has not been completely integrated, and there are still huge differences in culture.

Mount Tai Feng Zen is a part of the culture of the land of Qilu, and it is an ancient act of sacrificing to the emperor of heaven and symbolizing his own virtuous name and virtue.

And Yingzheng, as a native of Qin, actually wanted to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, which was undoubtedly an insult to these Confucian scholars and scholars in the land of Qilu.

The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, who has the power of sacrifice, is equivalent to representing the orthodoxy of heaven and earth.

As early as the Xianggong period of Qin, the Qin State was fighting for the right to worship the Emperor of Heaven.

In the eyes of these Confucian disciples, Ying Zheng's behavior was to completely suppress Qilu's culture with Qin's culture, and if the power of sacrifice was controlled by Qin, then Qilu's culture would eventually fall apart.

Of course, Xunzi understood the meaning of this, which made him very difficult to answer.

Even Ying Wei looked at his teacher with interest, wanting to see how the teacher would get through this difficulty.

You must know that Xunzi is now also living in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, if he directly gave Yingzheng Taishan the method of sealing Zen, or even helped him Taishan to seal Zen, this will undoubtedly make Xunzi and the people of the entire Qilu land stand on the opposite side.

Although the Qi State surrendered to the Qin State, the Qi people did not agree with the Qin State, and even still thought that the Qin State was a barbarian land, and their civilization was wiped out by barbarism.

Great unification and great integration is not just a few years, it can be done by force, and it will take at least a hundred years for the concept of great unification to take root in the hearts of the people.

In this era, people did not have the idea of great unification.

Ying Zheng's so-called imperial power is not as great as he imagined, and all he can rely on is the iron cavalry of the Qin State to forcibly force people from all countries to listen to him.

Xunzi arched his hand and replied, "Your Majesty, I am already old, and I have long stopped caring about Confucian affairs. "

"If Your Majesty wants to ask about Taishan's act of sealing Zen, then it is better to ask the current head of Confucianism. "

Ying didn't hear the teacher's answer, and couldn't help laughing.

is worthy of being a teacher, he looks rigorous from the outside, but in fact he is very smooth in his heart.

Xunzi's move pushed the question away, and he resolutely refused to answer Yingzheng's question. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although Xunzi's rhetoric has the meaning of avoiding the important and evading, Yingzheng is very satisfied.

This shows that Xunzi is not the kind of old pedant who knows how to be flexible, which makes Yingzheng have greater expectations for a separate chat with Xunzi next.

Ying Zheng's eyes looked at a man in his thirties beside Xunzi, with a beard and an elegant temperament, and the first emperor said with a deep gaze:

"This is the current head of Confucianism, Fu Nian, right? Can Mr. Fu Nian teach me how to carry out the ceremony of Taishan Zen Seal?"

Unlike Xunzi, Fu Nian is the most typical person with a serious personality and a dedicated pursuit of Confucian ideas. 103 Seeing Ying Zheng asking, he didn't think about the specific political meaning of this at all, and said bluntly: "Back to Your Majesty, the land of Qilu has its own etiquette. "

"The ancient sage Taishan sealed the Zen, when the wheels were wrapped with pampas grass, so as not to damage the grass and trees on the mountain, and then swept the ground and sacrificed, it was easy to use!"

There is no problem with Fu Nian's words, this is indeed the way to worship the mountain gods or the heavens in ancient times.

But he was too hasty and too simplistic, and if the First Emperor was asked to follow this process, wouldn't it mean that the First Emperor was no different from other Zen feuders.

This does not show the supremacy of the First Emperor, and if the First Emperor also follows this set of procedures, it means that the First Emperor must also follow these rituals.

This is equivalent to in this land of Qilu, even if it is the first emperor, he cannot trespass.

Ying Zheng's face immediately sank, which was different from his thoughts, he thought that Fu Nian would give a set of etiquette designed by Confucianism himself to show his supremacy.

But Fu Nian's words made Ying Zheng understand that the people in this land of Qilu really still look down on their Qin people!

For a time, the First Emperor even had the idea of killing all these Confucian students.

Of course, it was just a thought, if he really did this, it would be tantamount to destroying the culture of the entire Qi country, and it would easily cause people from all walks of life in the Qi country to resist.

At a time when the world was just being unified, it was dangerous to do so.

Ying Wei stepped forward at this time and said loudly: "Fu Nian's head is wrong!"
