Chapter 969: Shut up, you lowly Confucians!

Xun Zi might not be the person with the highest seniority in the Confucian school of the time, but he was definitely the person with the greatest prestige.

During the reign of King Zhao of Qin, he had traveled to the Qin Guo. At that time, it was also when he was most high-spirited. He had served as the libationer of the Jixia Academy and enjoyed great prestige among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Regrettably, the result of that trip to the Qin Guo was not very good. The Qin Guo was not the ideal state in Xun Zi's mind. After leaving a comment for the Qin Guo, he left the Qin Guo.

Later, he also served as the Magistrate of Lanling in the Chu State, and finally discovered that the Chu State was also not the ideal state in his mind. Therefore, in his later years, he was invited by the Confucian Sect Master to go to the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor, where he focused on learning.

To a certain extent, the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor being revered as the holy land of Confucianism actually had a lot to do with Xun Zi.

No one expected that Xun Zi, who had been living in seclusion for many years, would come out of the mountains at this time.

You must know that during that trip to the Qin Guo many years ago, his evaluation of the Qin Guo was not very good. Now, for what reason did he come to the eastern tour team to see the Emperor?

Oh? Think carefully, this is not Xianyang, but Qi Commandery, so there is no problem.

Compared to Xun Zi's arrival, what the many Confucian scholars cared more about was Xun Zi's purpose for coming here.

He came for the etiquette of the Fengshan sacrifice at Mount Taishan.

According to Xun Zi, he had been invited by someone a long time ago to formulate the relevant etiquette for the Fengshan sacrifice at Mount Taishan, and it was only recently that it was completed, so he came to confirm it.

While explaining his purpose, Xun Zi stated the Fengshan sacrifice etiquette he had formulated.

The etiquette he formulated was evolved from the etiquette of the Qin Guo for sacrificing to the gods of heaven and did not follow certain etiquette from ancient times.

As soon as Xun Zi spoke, some Confucian scholars immediately expressed their opposition.

"Inappropriate, how can the matter of the Fengshan sacrifice be such a child's play? According to the etiquette of ancient times, when performing the Fengshan sacrifice, the wheels of the carriage should be wrapped in reeds to avoid damaging the grass and trees on the mountain... In the etiquette formulated by Xun Zi, there is no relevant overview!"

"Yes!" Others expressed their views. "Besides that, one should sweep the ground to sacrifice and lay down mats made of sedge!"

These two people spoke, immediately causing another argument.

Some people added other etiquette, and some people said that these etiquettes were from the ancient era. Today is not ancient times, how can we continue to follow these ancient etiquettes? The Emperor of Qin is also not the kings of ancient times, so he should naturally use new etiquette to perform the Fengshan sacrifice. ===== CHAPTER 971 =====
