"The survival of a nation lies on the edge of a sword!”
When Ying Zheng, who was in the secret chamber, heard Jiang Chen's words.
They couldn't help but cheer.
"Good! Well said!"
He was different from Eldest Young Master Fu Su, who had lived in the depths of the palace since he was young and was protected by thousands of people.
Ying Zheng was also born a royal.
However, he was born in Zhao and was a hostage.
The humiliation of the Zhao people and the suffering of his friends who were also hostages.
Everything had planted a notion in the young Ying Zheng's heart.
Weakness was the original sin of all the hardships you had suffered!
You want others to respect you and not bully you.
The prerequisite was that you were strong enough.
If one was not strong enough, they would be bullied by others.
If the country was not strong enough, the royal family would have to go to other countries as hostages.
If a nation was not strong enough, it would be constantly eroded by other nations.
These were not taught in the Confucian classics.
Only through real experience could one understand.
"Meng Yi, what do you think of what Jiang Chen said just now?”Ying Zheng turned to look at Meng Yi, who was standing beside him.
At this moment, Meng Yi could not help but reveal a fanatical expression.
"I deeply agree!"
Yes, three generations of the Meng family had served Qin and were all generals trusted by the king.
How could Meng Yi not understand this logic?
Now, it was up to Fu Su to understand.
Ying Zheng turned his gaze to his eldest son.
He was a father, waiting for his son to grow up.
...
In the cell.
Fu Su sat on his knees and kept repeating what Jiang Chen had just said.
"The survival of a nation is only on the edge of a sword?”
This sentence was the complete opposite of what Fu Su had learned in the past.
However, after being beaten up by the black bear prisoner just now.
The cruel reality was clear.
When the weak were beaten, they had no strength to resist.
Fu Su was an extremely intelligent person.
It was not a problem for him to draw inferences.
It was very easy for him to replace his personal experience with that of the country and the nation.
The Confucian classics he had learned told Fu Su that what Jiang Chen had said was wrong.
But the cruel reality showed that what Jiang Chen said was right.
For a moment, Fu Su was in a dilemma.
But in the end.
In the end, Fu Su was still convinced by the cruel reality.
He clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Jiang shi.
"The survival of a nation lies on the edge of a sword. I've learned my lesson."”
When Ying Zheng, who was in the secret chamber, saw this scene...
It was difficult to hide the excitement on his face.
Fusu, you've finally grown up."
"The ancestors of the Ying family, my successors, have finally woken up.”
Meng Yi looked at the Emperor who was praying to his ancestors.
Tears also appeared in his eyes.
Who could understand?
He was the first emperor in history to sweep through the six countries, unify the world, and create an era of central power.
His eldest son was originally a pedantic scholar whose mind was filled with benevolence, righteousness, and morality?
Ying Zheng was not the only one who felt disappointed and lost.
The Imperial Clan of Qin State, as well as the military and noble classes, were all very regretful.
As the saying goes, a tiger father would not have a dog son.
How did the unprecedented and domineering First Emperor give birth to a great saint who talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality?
Such a person could really survive a hundred years after His Majesty.
Inherit His Majesty's will and lead the Great Qin Empire forward?
Ying Zheng felt uncertain, and the imperial clan and military officials of the Qin State felt even more uncertain!
Now, Fu Su had finally changed. He was no longer that stupid and annoying pedantic scholar.
Although it was only the first step.
But it also gave Ying Zheng and Meng Yi a great hope!
"Jiang Chen, what a good Jiang Chen. You're worthy of being my master!”Ying Zheng praised Jiang Chen.
" Your Majesty," Meng Yi said in a timely manner," I've told you before. Jiang Chen is young, but his words and actions are shocking."”
Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Yi and said,"I agree with you, Minister Meng.”
"In the past, I did so much for Fusu to grow.”
"However, it was all useless. Fusu only worshipped that damned Confucian school of Confucius and Mencius.”
"Zhen had once thought that Fusu had a problem with his brain after being taught by those Confucian scholars.”
"Now it seems that my method was wrong.”
For some reason, when Meng Yi heard this, he felt a faint sense of unease.
"Then, Your Majesty, how do you plan to teach the Eldest Young Master in the future?”
"Hehe, didn't Jiang Chen show me?”Ying Zheng looked at the cell and chuckled.
Jiang Chen had shown it?
Meng Yi recalled what had happened earlier.
Hiss, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that you're going to use sticks and kicks?" he asked cautiously.”
"Exactly!" Ying Zheng stroked his long beard and laughed.
"This is just the first lesson, and it's already so rewarding.”
" I'm also looking forward to Jiang Chen's so-called " On the Relationship between the Peasants and the Nomads."”
Meng Yi,"Can you pretend I never came today?" Your Majesty, I really don't look forward to it, nor do I want to hear it!
While he felt sad for the Eldest Young Master, Meng Yi also felt sad for himself.
......
To Jiang Chen's surprise, Fu Su didn't refute him. Instead, he said that he would learn from him.
He was also a little surprised.
It seemed that this stupid pedantic scholar was still somewhat salvageable.
"It's good that you understand. I'm just afraid that you, a pedantic scholar, will be so stubborn that you won't listen to anything other than the Confucian teachings.”
Hearing this, Fu Su hesitated and said,"
"Teacher Jiang, aren't you also a Confucian scholar?”
Jiang Chen thought to himself,"Good lord, I forgot my original identity."
"Ahem, you're a child. You don't understand."
"There are countless Daos in the world. How can we be bound by a single theory?”
"Although the Confucian teachings of Confucius and Mencius are good, they also have disadvantages.”
"We should extract the essence and discard the dregs.”
"My wish is to fuse the essence of the hundred schools.”
"To establish the will of heaven and earth, to establish the lives of the people, to inherit the ultimate arts of the past, to create peace for all generations!”
Jiang Chen's words were really enlightening to Fu Su.
Especially the last sentence, to establish the heart of heaven and earth, to establish the lives of the people, to inherit the ultimate arts of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations!
Fu Su got goosebumps when he heard that. He yearned for it.
He stood up abruptly and looked up at the nonexistent sky, shouting,"
"I hereby swear that I will follow my master from now on to establish my heart for the heavens and the earth, to establish the lives of the people, to inherit the ultimate arts of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations!”
An unprecedented aura erupted from his body.
That was the aura of the king path, the absolute confidence that pushed forward with indomitable will!
Ying Zheng even saw the shadow of his youth in him.
He clenched his fists tightly and was so excited that he was speechless.
Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Meng Yi as he said in a deep voice,
"Why would a peerless talent like Jiang Chen, who has the ambition of a swan, enter the imperial prison?”
"I, I don't know."”
"Humph!" Ying Zheng waved his sleeves in dissatisfaction.
"Investigate, find out the truth for Zhen.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Once again, he regretted accompanying the Emperor to this damned prison.
......
"Alright, alright, sit down. I really don't know what you're so excited about." Jiang Chen waved his hand when he saw Fu Su's excitement.
Fu Su rubbed his nose with a smile and sat down on his knees again.
However, the admiration in Jiang shi's eyes grew even stronger.
"Let's continue with the topic just now."
"The survival of a nation lies on the edge of a sword.”
"When you are not strong enough, others will not reason with you. They will only beat you with their fists and snatch everything from you.”
"The so-called Confucian classics, the Six Classics, the Analects of Confucius, and the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are all trash at this time.”
"Only when you are strong enough and others can't beat you will others listen to your reasoning.”
"That's why you said that the Confucians were unable to educate the Xiongnu, but I said you were wrong.”
"Of course the Xiongnu can be educated, but it depends on the time and method.”
" And here is the content of the second lesson of our 'On the Relationship between the Peasants and the Nomads.'”
"What is a farming race? What are nomads?"
