Chapter 748 Jixia Academy

"Mr. Kong, this is the imperial capital Xianyang."

"It is magnificent, and the strong are like clouds. It really deserves to be the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, and it deserves the title of the first city in the world."

When he was about to arrive at the gate of Xianyang City, Zhuangzi came to Confucius' side and said that only people of their rank can talk to each other.

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang Zhou, not to mention the majestic construction of Xianyang City."

"Just to say that before, I released Wen Qi to observe the number of strong men in Xianyang City, so as to speculate on the background of the empire."

"But it was just released, and before entering the city, it was bounced back by an extremely powerful force, so I am afraid that there is an existence stronger than us in this imperial capital."

Looking at Xianyang City getting closer, Confucius said with emotion.

Hearing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

What kind of character is Confucius?

The founder of Confucianism, Confucius!

Among the people, there is Zhuangzi, and Laozi can discuss with him of the same generation. The rest of the representatives of the hundreds of schools of thought, including Mencius, must be inferior to Confucius.

This is not only in terms of seniority, but also in terms of academic attainments and strength.

It is no exaggeration to say that Confucius is definitely one of the most powerful people among them.

But now he bluntly said that there are many strong people in Xianyang City, and there are even people who are stronger than Confucius, which can not help but make everyone worry about the future.

Because His Majesty has no shortage of strong people...

"If you want to think wildly, your majesty is so powerful. Since your majesty can gather characters from different periods to come to the empire, then there must be some arrangements for us."

"We just need to cultivate our nature carefully and wait for His Majesty's summons. Don't mess up."

At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard, Daogu Xianfeng stepped forward and said.

This person is the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu, whose real name is Li Er.

And when I heard Lao Tzu's words, even the more anxious people like Shen Buha and Tian Pian calmed down.

Yes, as Lao Tzu said, since His Majesty has assembled them to come to the Empire with supreme power, then there must be arrangements for them, they just need to wait quietly.

Thinking of this, everyone stopped talking and went into the city together.

And when they arrived in the middle of Xianyang City, they also met Zhao Gao who came out of Xianyang Palace to greet them specially.

Under the leadership of Zhao Gao, the group of people went unimpeded and finally entered the Xianyang Palace smoothly.

On the way, countless Xianyang civilians and generals in the army felt unexpected, but they felt it was reasonable.

Because over the years, it seems that some great talents have often come to the imperial capital, and the ones in charge of receiving them are Zhao Gao, the Marquis of Shangyong.

And these people can always shine brightly, hold the power of one party, and have outstanding political achievements.

Therefore, over the years, the people of Xianyang and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army have taken it for granted.

And countless people have also developed a consensus in their hearts, that is, as long as they are personally received by Shang Yonghou, they will become great things in the future.

Therefore, in the hearts of countless people, Confucius and others are completely new stars of the empire.

But they would never dream of how big the background of these sixteen people is.

It may be the happiest and most regrettable thing in their lives to pass by the sixteen Chinese sages.

 …

"We see your Majesty!"

In Xianyang Palace, sixteen people saluted Ying Ji and said.

Although they were all representatives of the party's school, their academic attainments were extremely deep, and they had reached the point of being a saint and a sage, but in front of Ying Ji, they still had to behave like a monarch and a minister.

"Haha, gentlemen, you don't need to be too polite, you are all my top figures in China."

"It's really a blessing for the empire to have you all, and the great prosperity of the empire's culture is just around the corner."

Looking at the people below, Ying Ji laughed.

And Zhao Gao didn't say anything about Ying Ji's high evaluation.

Because Zhao Gao knew that with the abilities of these Chinese sages, he could support half of the empire.

In fact, Zhao Gao was taken aback when he knew the true identities of these people.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it is just a Chinese person's respect for the Chinese sages.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"We are only scholars. Although we are familiar with certain martial arts, we are not proficient."

"However, if Your Majesty instructs us, we will do our best to apply what we have learned in our life to the Empire and assist His Majesty in opening up the prosperous world of Qin Dynasty."

Hearing Ying Ji's words, before the others said anything, Confucius stood up and spoke.

And it is also very level.

First, I humbled myself, and then I expressed the meaning of service. Between the lines, I always put Ying Ji in the first place, so that people don't get bored.

Hearing this, Ying Ji couldn't help but smile.

Ying Ji knew that among the sixteen sages, there are really few people who can compare to Confucius in terms of academic attainments.

But in the same way, few people can compare to Confucius when it comes to being an official.

Without him, just by leading his disciples to travel around the world and lobbying the kings of the countries, he proved this.

Therefore, Ying Ji understood that if Confucius went to be a teacher or a dean, he would definitely be at the godfather level.

But it's really not suitable to be an official!

Tian Pian and Shen Buha, these strategists and Legalist elites, are the most suitable officials.

So Ying Ji could only say sorry to Confucius in his heart.

 …

"Everyone, I know that you are all cultivators."

"A body of literacy is full of righteousness, and all evils are retreated. There are infinite wonderful uses."

"At the time of the great success, poetry and songs can kill ghosts and gods, and literary classics can confuse Yin and Yang."

"And gentlemen, you should also know that the empire has only given birth to a cultivator, and there is still a long way to go if you want to achieve a prosperous situation."

"Therefore, I would like to let you gentlemen enter Jixia Academy and teach students from hundreds of schools."

"Leading the imperial system of literature and Taoism, in order to make the empire enter a situation where the two aspects of literature and martial arts go hand-in-hand as soon as possible, what do you think, gentlemen?"

Ying Ji knew that among the sixteen sages, there were people like Confucius, Shen Buha, and Tian Pian who wanted to be officials.

But there are more people like Zhuangzi Laozi and Zou Yan.

Not to say inaction, but also to be quiet.

A place with a strong bookish atmosphere like Jixia Academy is just right for these people.

Hearing this, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, and Confucius all showed doubts.

After all, they had just arrived in the empire, so they didn't know the existence of Jixia Academy.

And Shen Buha, who coexisted with Shang Jun, stood up and explained: "Several gentlemen, Jixia Academy is located in Linzi City, and it is the number one school in the world."

"Not only are there elite disciples from various schools of thought studying in it, but there are also ordinary people from poor families who study hard in it."

"The school has a strong atmosphere and can prove what they have learned to each other. There are countless outstanding people who learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses and make progress together. It can be said that 80% of the world's outstanding students are among them."

Although it is not clear what Jixia Academy has become in later generations.

But as long as Jixia Academy is still there, Shen Buha feels that what he said is inseparable.

After all, he and Shenzi Shenda once came out of Jixia Academy, and they were one of Jixia Academy's sacrificial wines.
