Chapter 241 The True Face of Chen Ping's Dragon Slaying Skills
For Ying Yuan, Chunyu Yue's performance in the Qilin Hall just now certainly made Fusu somewhat disappointed in Confucianism.

However, Ying Yuan did not believe that the brainwashing that Confucianism had inflicted on Fusu over the years could be broken by such a simple "reflection".

To put it bluntly, although Fusu is now disappointed with Confucianism, he still firmly believes in Confucianism.

At this time, Chen Ping had to step in and give the other party a reasonable explanation.

Although Chen Ping was blind, his manners and demeanor were absolutely impeccable.

He is also the person that Fusu gets along best with among Ying Yuan.

But Chen Ping bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"Master Fusu, I have a question!"

"Sir, you have always studied Confucianism. Do you know what the difference is between what Confucianism is today and what it was a hundred years ago?"

When Chen Ping asked this question, Fusu was stunned at first, and then frowned involuntarily.

He had never thought about this problem.

Although Confucianism and Confucianism seem to be just two sides of the same coin, one is the thought and doctrine, and the other is the person who spreads the thought.

But, if we think along the lines of what Chen Ping just said.

Are the Confucian officials in the court today still adhering to Confucius' teachings of benevolence and virtue hundreds of years ago?

The answer to this question is a bit vague!

But there was one result that Fusu had vaguely thought of, but he did not dare to confirm it.

They are Confucians who, in fact, have long distorted the original ideas of Confucianism to suit their own needs in the struggle for power.

It even changed from the early "I annotate the philosophers" to the extremely practical "the philosophers annotate me"!
To put it bluntly, the main point is that it doesn’t matter what the philosophers said. If I say it should be interpreted this way, then that’s how it should be interpreted.

It just depends on what kind of theory you need.

Anyway, there are no punctuation marks, let alone a corresponding standard version, so you can naturally interpret it however you want.

Chen Ping looked at Fusu, who was frowning and thinking, and smiled and whispered to himself.

"The Confucianists in the court have probably long forgotten the word 'benevolence' that Confucius was obsessed with!"

"For them, even if they spread the idea of ​​benevolence to the world and let all the people feel it, what does it matter?"

"But if we do it the other way around, using the name of Confucius and benevolence to put Confucianism above other doctrines, wouldn't that be better?"

"By then, if we just take out a few words from the Analects and use them for the daily use of the empire, wouldn't that mean that Confucianism is the national learning of the Qin Dynasty?"

"For Daqin, this situation is naturally not a good thing, but for Confucianists, it is an incomparable blessing!"

As soon as Chen Ping said this, Fusu's pupils shocked and then he looked at Chen Ping in horror.

Chen Ping's words were like a ray of hope, completely clearing up the doubts in his heart.

He figured it out!
No wonder!

No wonder today, my teacher Chunyu was extremely supportive of the Heroes Conference, but was trying to shirk responsibility for the Confucianists paying for it.

The reason is very simple!

Holding a heroes' conference would benefit Fusu, whom they identified as a "Confucian disciple", so Confucianism would also benefit indirectly.

But if they are required to pay, they should use the money they have saved for promoting Confucianism.

Then they will not be happy.

Because even if Fusu held this heroic conference, he only had the possibility of becoming the crown prince, and Confucianism only gained a little benefit.

But the money originally hidden in the Confucius Temple was naked profit.

On the one hand, there are the interests of Confucianism and Confucianism as a whole, and on the other hand, there are the interests that are closely related to these Confucian officials themselves.

Isn’t it easy to understand which one they choose?
And Fusu now finally understood why those Confucian officials had given him all kinds of advice and remonstrances.

"Prince Fusu, I understand that you are kind-hearted and have been taught Confucianism since childhood. You really believe that you should treat people in the world with kindness!"

"But, among the Confucians, how many people are as impartial as you?" "This time, asking the Confucians to pay is nothing more than a means to weaken the power of the Confucians. Prince Fusu, you don't need to be too shocked!"

Chen Ping's words sounded heavy, but Fusu didn't feel heavy at all. He looked at Ying Yuan in horror.

"Sixth...Sixth...Sixth brother, do you want to kill the Confucian family?"

Obviously, for Fusu, the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, who usually paid the most attention to his demeanor and manners, could no longer sit still.

But Ying Yuan, who was sitting at the top, looked at him speechlessly.

What do you mean I want to kill Confucianists?

Brother, what are you doing?

In your mind, is it true that the only thing I can do as your brother is fighting and killing?

However, Ying Yuan was speechless when he saw Fusu's excitement, so he explained honestly.

"Brother, what are you thinking about!"

"Confucianism, I do have some things I'm not satisfied with, but I won't kill them all!"

"In other words, there is no need to resort to killing to deal with them!"

"Don't you think about it? If I really wanted to kill them, why would I go through so much trouble?"

"Send someone out and kill them directly!"

"And now, it's just Chen Ping's dragon-slaying skills that are targeting them!"

To be honest, for Ying Yuan, if it were according to his personality.

It would be more convenient to just burn the books and bury the scholars to get rid of this bunch of Confucianists who can only nag.

Because in Ying Yuan's eyes, these people are really annoying.

Not to mention all the nagging calculations, it's also so damn annoying.

That's the kind of talk that carries spiritual pollution.

But, that’s not possible.

The problem cannot be solved so simply.

So, the poisonous scholar Chen Ping went into battle!

"Dragon slaying skills?"

When Fusu heard this word, his face trembled.

Mother!

Are all the people here, Sixth Brother, brave enough to take risks?

Why do you always come up with such slogans?
Fortunately, Chen Ping was right beside him, so he naturally had to explain his plan.

You can't regard him as a 'terrorist' just because of his name!

"Master Fusu, there is no need to panic. Dragon-slaying skills are not a means of killing."

"On the contrary, he is just a technique in the court!"

"Although Confucianism is not the most powerful school in the court, it is the most stable one!"

"Unlike Prime Minister Li and General Wang, who are now civil and military officials, they now stand in the court relying on their personal abilities and prestige."

“But Confucianism is different!”

“This is a school of thought, a thought, and even more so a heritage!”

"Take Chunyu Yue and others as an example. If they continue to be passed down in the court like this, then Confucianism will become the largest force in the court in the future!"

"By then, the entire court will be controlled by them, and they will become the biggest cancer of the empire!"
