Two years after the First Emperor.
Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Hall.
"Yin Shang, Yin Gong…"
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip in his hand, slightly tilted his head and said,""Why would a dignified Daoist Grand Supreme secretly become a gravekeeper in Great Qin?”
Ying Zheng wanted to educate his eldest son, Fu Su, so he asked Fu Su to go to the tomb of Duke Mu to pay his respects to the founder of the Great Qin Empire.
Naturally, Fu Su obediently went over.
Not only that.
Recently, Fu Su had started to visit Duke Mu's mausoleum frequently, which was why Ying Zheng asked Meng Yi, his close minister, to investigate what was going on.
The result would not be known if he did not investigate.
With a single investigation…he found the mysterious Daoist Grand Supreme!
"Your Majesty, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the founder of Taoism, Laozi, left behind several inheritances in the world. Among them was Guan Yinzi, who was known as the Grand Supreme of Wen Shi, the Immortal of South China, and the Hidden Saint of Zhongnan.”
High Official Meng Yi thought for a moment and continued,"This Yin Gong must be the descendant of Yin Zi of the Hidden Saint Guan, and also the leader of the current Daoists.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately had an impression of Guan Yinzi. He knew Guan Yinzi, the Sect Master of the Lou Guan Sect, the founder of the Wen Shi Sect. Guan Yinzi had received the scriptures from Han Guan and had taught the Great Dao. He had written nine volumes of the 'Wen Shi True Scripture', and had left them in the world. It was even said that Guan Yinzi was the teacher of Guigu' zi, the first generation of the Zong Heng School!
One must know!
The strategist of the Warring States Period!
It was said that when he was angry, the vassals would be afraid, and when he lived in peace, the world would rest!
It was clear how powerful the Hidden Sacred Master Guan Yinzi, who had single-handedly created the Zongheng Clan, was.
As a direct descendant of Guan Yinzi, Yin Shang was naturally extraordinary.
It was no wonder that the young man, Fu Su, would run to Mugong Mausoleum for no reason.
"Daoists advocate coming out of the world, and Guan Yinzi is also known as the Hidden Saint. Duke Yin was only looking for a quiet place in Duke Mugong's Mausoleum.”
As Ying Zheng said this, his straight eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Now that he had unified the world, there were many things waiting to be done in the Nine Provinces. He was lacking a peerless expert who could guide him in a direction.
However, Daoism advocated inaction.
If Ying Zheng went to invite Yin Shang into the human world to be his assistant, he reckoned that this Daoist Grand Supreme would be lost in his thoughts and disappear without a trace the next day.
For example, the founder of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu, spent only a few days at Hangu Pass to write the Tao Te Ching. After that, he immediately rode on objects to roam the mind and roam freely between heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty! This humble subject believes that since Young Master Fusu and the Daoist Sect's Grand Supreme were fated to meet, then all of this was arranged by the heavens. I believe that Duke Yin would naturally do the same.”
Meng Yi organized his words and continued," But if His Majesty wants to forcefully invite Duke Yin to become an official in the court…"
"If the Grand Supreme Yin Gong enters the world, it's equivalent to the existence of a preacher in name only. After all, inaction is the main foundation of Taoism.”
In fact, Ying Zheng did not really believe in the Heavenly Dao.
The reason why he could unify the four seas and eight desolates was because of the dominance of the Legalism School!
Overlord, the country is stable!
If the monarch does not dominate, the country will not be stable!
Therefore, whether it was the Way of the King of Confucianism or the Way of Heaven of Taoism, Ying Zheng had never been very interested in them.
However…
When the world was truly unified.
Ying Zheng found that he was in urgent need of a systematic governing program. Legalism was indeed a high-pressure and stable school, but it was still usable.
However, Ying Zheng had also keenly discovered that the rule of law alone was not enough to rule the entire Nine Regions and Huaxia.
"Have you seen your husband sacrifice a cow? He was dressed in embroidered clothes and fed with uncles. When he led him into the temple, even if he wanted to be an orphan calf, could he do it?”
While speaking, Ying Zheng quickly stood up and said,""Let's go! Let's go and see how much of the Great Dao true inheritance this current Grand Supreme has inherited compared to the Spring and Autumn Old Man Zhuang!”
Seeing this, Meng Yi hurriedly went forward to help her.
The classical Chinese that Ying Zheng was talking about was an allusion to Zhuangzi.
It is said that someone went to Chuang Tzu to ask for a favor.
Chuang Tzu replied to his messenger: Have you seen the ox that is ready for sacrifice? It was draped in embroidered brocade and fed with good grass and beans, waiting to be led into the ancestral temple to be killed for sacrifice! Even if it wanted to be a calf that no one took care of, how could it do it?
In Zhuangzi's view, fame and fortune in the world were the decorative patterns used for sacrifice. If Zhuangzi entered the world and became an official, he would be no different from a cow waiting to be slaughtered for sacrifice.
Therefore…
Chuang Tzu would rather live a poor and tranquil life than be an official and be burdened by the world.
This was also the main theme of Taoism during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It was passed down from generation to generation.
In addition.
Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang from Handan at the age of ten, took over the throne at the age of thirteen, and only took over the government at the age of twenty-two.
During these ten years or so, Ying Zheng had been reading through the ancient and modern books, trying to understand the thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Ordinary geniuses in the world could not enter the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon at all.
What Ying Zheng was looking for was the Duke of Zhou, who was like King Cheng, and the Duke of Qin, who was like Qin Shi Huang!
