Chapter 49: Han Fei and Li Si rebelled and entered Qin on the way



Li Si stood up with an excited look on his face.

"However, the Qin regime has been changing hands frequently, making it unsuitable for military action now. Sir, are you worried that the only country in the world suitable for an emperor will perish?"

Han Fei had a dejected look on his face. He came to Chu to study because he was unsuccessful in Han. It was only after he met Xunzi that he realized his own way and also knew that Han was not suitable for his way.

Just as Li Si said, there is only one country in the world that is suitable for the way they have learned, and that is Qin. Only Qin has had the ambition to rule the world for five generations since Shang Yang's reform.

Xunzi ignored Li Si and looked at Han Fei. He said, "Qin used Han's capital, Xinzheng, as a passage to attack Wei. It also used Wei's capital, Daliang, as a passage to attack Zhao. Now they have probably laid siege to Zhao's capital, Handan."

Li Si stopped talking and sat down honestly. He had a good personal relationship with Han Fei and knew how important Han State was to Han Fei.

There was silence again. Han Fei knew that Xunzi was forcing him to make a choice: to choose the way in his heart or to choose his country.

Han Fei has been thinking about whether the big family is more important or the small family is more important. He has been confused and has been looking for people to answer his questions.

He knew that this doubt might be solved soon, and it would be solved soon under Xunzi's pressure.

"First... Sir, I would like to invite you to Xianyang." Han Fei raised his head and looked at Xunzi. His speech problem did not seem to be that serious. "I will go to Xianyang to discuss the way of the emperor with the King of Qin."

"I have already spoken to the King of Qin, but was driven out. Do you still want to go?" Xunzi laughed. Among his disciples, Li Si and Han Fei were the most intelligent.

Among these two people, Li Si was not as quick-witted as Han Fei, and Han Fei was not as eloquent as Li Si. Both of them had shortcomings, but they also complemented each other to a certain extent.

It’s just that Li Si has already found his position, while Han Fei has been entangled in his own country and has been unable to make a decision.

If Han Fei insisted on using Taoism to help Han and abandoned Taoism in disguise, Xunzi would not say a word. After all, that was the path his disciple had taken, and he would only praise him. After all, there was nothing wrong with fighting for one's own country, and it was even extremely noble.

If Han Fei had followed the Tao, Xunzi would not have been particularly appreciative, but would have felt a little regretful that Han Fei ultimately chose the Tao over the country.

Now that Han Fei has made his decision, what Xunzi needs to do now is to strengthen Han Fei's belief and let Han Fei realize the dream of Great Harmony on his behalf.

"The King of the previous Qin Dynasty is different from the current King of Qin. And just because the master cannot do something doesn't mean the disciple cannot do it."

"The former Qin King said that Confucian scholars were not allowed to set foot in Qin. What do you think?"

"Today, I, the disciple, have rebelled against the teachings and call myself a Legalist. I do not recognize any Confucianists."

"Han Fei, are you going to betray the orthodoxy?"

"No, it's not just about seeking the path within yourself."

Xunzi looked at Han Fei, whose eyes were gradually clearing and his mind gradually regaining consciousness, and smiled with relief. He said, "You can go now. Today, the relationship between you, Han Fei, and I as a master and disciple is over. You can go now!"

"Sir, I am a dull disciple and have failed to live up to your high expectations." Han Fei knelt down and kowtowed. "Sir, Han Fei is leaving!"

After saying that, there was no way he would stay here anymore. Han Fei stood up, turned around and left until he disappeared without a trace, without even looking back.

Li Si was a little confused. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

"You go too."

Li Si looked up at Xunzi, then kowtowed and said, "Master, I am unfilial and will betray the teachings today. Master, I will leave!"

After saying that, he followed Han Fei and followed in his footsteps.

Xunzi watched the two people disappear from his sight, lowered his head and chuckled, as if talking to himself: "Heretical? Am I not the same? Hahahaha..."

The image in the water mirror came to an abrupt end here, neither too much nor too little, but the image just now still gave Chen Xuan a great shock.

Han Fei and Li Si? Are you two coming to Qin to look for the political master? Come on, let me see if these two great Legalists can change the so-called historical trend!

PS

There seems to be no clear historical record of Han Fei having a mouth disease, but it seems he did. For the sake of word count, I will assume he did. (??????)

Han Fei was born in 280 BC, and the current time is 249 BC, so Han Fei is not the handsome guy in Tian Xing Jiu Ge, but more likely an uncle.
