Chapter 600

The meeting between Ying Zheng and Does Xun Zi had an extremely special significance.

Because in original history, these two never met.

In history, Does Xun Zi died very early, so Ying Zheng naturally had no chance to meet him.

However, the matter of many Confucian scholars arguing endlessly during the formulation of the Fengshan etiquette did indeed exist in history.

In order to perform Fengshan at Mount Taishan, Ying Zheng once summoned seventy-two Confucian scholars from the land of Qi and Lu to discuss the etiquette of the Fengshan ceremony. As a result, they were slow to formulate the corresponding etiquette and instead argued endlessly. Even when Ying Zheng arrived at the foot of Mount Taishan, they still had not discussed a plan. In the end, in a fit of anger, Ying Zheng directly abolished all the etiquette and used the etiquette of the Qin State for worshipping the Heavenly Emperor to perform Fengshan.

In this space-time, Su Xuan saw that this trend was appearing, so naturally, he would not allow things to continue to evolve.

Fu Nian, as the Sect Master of the Confucian School, might not be able to suppress the people of various schools of the Confucian School, but Does Xun Zi might not be the same.

Therefore, under a letter from Su Xuan, Does Xun Zi came directly here, and the storm in original history also ceased to exist because of this.

Even Ying Zheng achieved a meeting with Does Xun Zi.

This meeting was not so much a simple meeting between the two, but rather a request for learning from Ying Zheng to Does Xun Zi.

Ying Zheng had read the Book of Lord Shang since he was a child and highly admired the Legalist way. It was also because of this reason that after seeing the "Han Han Feizi" written by Han Fei, he was amazed.

Ying Zheng had also read many of Does Xun Zi's works.

But reading was one thing, and asking for advice in person was another.

Ying Zheng had many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask Does Xun Zi. He really wanted to know what kind of answer this old man, who was the teacher of Han Fei and Li Si and had taught these two world-shaking geniuses, could give him.

The consultation lasted for a long time, until late at night. Because he was worried that Does Xun Zi was an old man and his body could not hold up, Ying Zheng said goodbye to Does Xun Zi and left.

After knowing the reason for Ying Zheng's departure, Su Xuan was somewhat speechless. He did not tell Ying Zheng that Does Xun Zi was actually a Heaven-Man level powerhouse, whose strength was much stronger than his, and even if he chatted with him for a few days and nights, the other party would not have any problems.

But after thinking about it, he still did not say these words.

Saying such words in front of Ying Zheng, wasn't it telling Ying Zheng that he was a weakling?

It would inevitably hurt Ying Zheng's heart.

Therefore, he asked Ying Zheng another question: "What does Your Majesty think of Does Xun Zi?"

Ying Zheng praised without concealment: "He is worthy of being a Confucian master!"

Actually, there were some words he did not say in his heart: it would be good if all Confucian scholars were like Does Xun Zi.

Although Does Xun Zi was also a person of the Confucian School, his philosophy was closer to the Legalist School, which meant that Confucianism and Legalism were not incompatible. If all Confucian scholars were like Does Xun Zi, with the scale of the Confucian School, Ying Zheng would get many usable talents.

Unfortunately, the reality was not so. Many Confucian scholars, as Does Xun Zi said, were lowly Confucians, a group of rotten wood. If it weren't for having no choice, Ying Zheng really did not want to use these pedantic people.

……

Because the Fengshan etiquette had been formulated, the eastern tour team began to speed up. After entering Qi Commandery, they quickly headed toward Mount Taishan.

For this Fengshan ceremony, a long time ago, the Governor of Qi Commandery had conscripted many laborers to repair the road to Mount Taishan.

On this day, when the eastern tour team arrived near Mount Taishan, many soldiers stationed in the land of Qi and Lu had already surrounded Mount Taishan. During this period, Mount Taishan was strictly forbidden for any ordinary person to enter without authorization.

This was also to prevent assassins from lurking in Mount Taishan in advance and attempting to assassinate.

Although Ying Zheng did not make a big deal about the assassination of Qin at Bolangsha, it was still known by many people through secret channels.

The Governor of Qi Commandery also did not want any more assassinations to occur.

It could be said that although the matter of the assassination of Qin at Bolangsha was lightly put down by the Emperor and did not cause a massive search of the world, if another assassination occurred, that would not be certain.

As they approached Mount Taishan, this legendary number one mountain in the world also came into the eyes of Su Xuan, Ying Zheng, and others.

Except for those born in the land of Qi and Lu or those who had traveled here, many people were seeing Mount Taishan for the first time.

"It is rumored that Confucius once said that climbing the East Mountain makes Lu small, and climbing Mount Taishan makes the world small! Now it seems, it is just so-so!"

Ying Zheng stopped on a mountain rock, looked at Mount Taishan in front, and was somewhat disappointed.

Because Mount Taishan was not high. In terms of height, it was not as good as Mount Huashan located in the Qin State, and it was not even as high as the South Mountain. It was only one or two hundred meters higher than Mount Lishan where the Yin-Yang School was located. The capital of the Qin State, Xianyang, was located near the South Mountain, so he could see the white-headed South Mountain every day. Therefore, Ying Zheng really did not have much feeling for Mount Taishan, which could make the world small in Confucius's words.

But it couldn't be helped that Mount Taishan's reputation was too great.

Since ancient times, this mountain had been endowed with too many mythological colors and was even regarded by the ancients as a paradise that "leads directly to the Emperor's throne," which was also the main reason why successive emperors flocked to Mount Taishan for the Fengshan ceremony.

And after evaluating Mount Taishan, Ying Zheng still continued to appreciate Mount Taishan.

They saw that the peaks of Mount Taishan were layered, with red and white mountain rocks and green vegetation mixed in between. Even before climbing the mountain, it already made people feel refreshed. Even because there were no high mountains in the land of Qi and Lu, Mount Taishan was the highest point of the Qi and Lu plains. Against the backdrop of the low hills in the distance, even if Mount Taishan was not as high as the South Mountain, the feeling it gave was particularly different.

The so-called "looking up at the high mountain" was nothing more than this.

Su Xuan was also quietly looking at Mount Taishan. Although he had been to the land of Qi and Lu several times, most of them were to the land of Sanghai, and he had not come to this Mount Taishan. At this moment, looking at this legendary number one mountain in the world, he could not help but have many feelings.

"I don't know if there is a five-colored altar on Mount Taishan, and if I will encounter something like nine dragons pulling a coffin!"

If it was his most outrageous thought, it was probably this thought.

It was really because the novel he read in his previous life was too famous. Once he arrived at Mount Taishan, he could not help but think of this, as well as a certain forgotten Mercedes-Benz car parked at the foot of Mount Taishan.

Except for Ying Zheng and Su Xuan, others were also looking at Mount Taishan.

Since ancient times, the Fengshan ceremony had an extremely unusual significance. Now, Ying Zheng was about to climb Mount Taishan to perform the Fengshan ceremony, and they, the accompanying people, were about to witness history.
