Chapter 56: Sanctity
Ju Zizhou watched Xun jump out of the window, cautiously took a few steps forward with the crossbow, and looked out the window, the night was dark.
In a moment, he got off the crossbow, closed the window, and sat down at the desk again, looking at what he had been writing earlier.
"The Initial Solution of Contradictions".
This is a simplified version of the Theory of Contradiction.
Ju Zizhou thought for a moment and put the silk book away.
Ying Zheng is not the son of a stranger, and no one knows whether it is true or false except for the parties involved.
But in fact, for Ju Zizhou, for Ying Zheng, and even for Yiren, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not.
The important thing is from whose mouth did this come from.
Ju Zizhou is more inclined to say that this remark was made by Yiren or Lu Buwei.
Because once that rhetoric comes out, then they have a choice.
They can choose to believe, and then abolish Yingzheng's status as the king and grandson, and then methodically suppress the Chu forces led by Queen Huayang.
If you think it's appropriate, you can even wait until you have suppressed the Chu forces and then choose not to believe it, make a clarification for Yingzheng, and re-admit that he is of Qin blood.
The facts are not important, what is important is the right to speak.
Whoever has the right to speak, then whose idea is right, not right!
"It's the end of September!" Ju Zizhou was overjoyed.
At the end of September, in a few days, Yingzhu will be crowned as the king of Qin.
That is, he will die soon.
The rumors are just right at this time.
Ju Zizhou laughed, joy swelling from his heart to his brows: "I really should thank you!" ”
He took out a blank scroll of bamboo slips, and the brush was dipped in ink: On "sacredness".
……
According to the old rules, after the article was written, Ju Zizhou read it himself, smoothed out his thoughts, and then burned the manuscript.
In the morning, he yawned.
Re-established his train of thought, and Ju Zizhou began to pack his bags.
The money needs to be taken some, and when he came out, he brought three small iron crossbows, and now Ying Zhengshun has taken one, and there are still two left in his hand.
There are two iron swords, and one is left in the hand at this time.
There is nothing to pack for clothes, just a few pieces.
You need to prepare a few more pairs of shoes, and shoes are still more important when you are running.
There are also flints, dry food, salt, dried fruits, etc., and you should also bring some.
The most important thing is to experience and transmit.
That is, Qin Guo's "ID card" and "letter of introduction", after entering Xianyang City, Ju Zizhou asked Meng Yan to help him do it.
After preparing everything, Ju Zizhou slowly walked around Xianyang City, while strolling, memorizing the road and planning an escape route.
When he was shopping, he felt that someone was following him, Ju Zizhou thought about it, and felt that it was nothing more than someone from the Mo family, a person from King Qin, or someone from another person.
Track and track.
Ju Zizhou pursed his lips, returned to the guest house, planned the route, and then burned the road map.
On the evening of the third day, that is, at dusk on the 29th of September, Ju Zizhou entered the palace after a beautiful day's sleep.
Ying Zheng was busy with the matter of forming the peasant association for a day, and he was so tired that he was half lying on the couch, holding a bamboo slip and looking through it, while thinking about how to solve the problems encountered in the actual mobilization.
Seeing Ju Zizhou coming, he pursed his lips, turned around, and turned his back to him.
Ju Zizhou waved his hand, and asked all the eunuch palace people and maids standing on the side to withdraw, and personally confirmed that there was no one, and then tied to the door, sat on the side of the soft couch, and said solemnly: "Yingzheng!" ”
Ying Zheng, surnamed Qin Zheng, is generally called Qin Zheng, Junzi Zheng, and Wang Sun Zheng.
In this era, almost no one will call him "Yingzheng", because the surname is not involved in the title of a person with a name.
This title is only called when Ju Zizhou talks to him about special and important things.
As soon as he called it like this, Ying Zheng subconsciously put down the bamboo slip in his hand, turned over and sat in front of Ju Zizhou.
"Senior brother." Ying Zheng bowed his head.
Ju Zizhou nodded and said, "Do you remember the 'sacredness'?" ”
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded: "It's a "concept" created to emphasize "justice". ”
So what is "sacredness"? ”
Ying Zheng shook his head: "I can't say it." ”
I met and knew that it was it, but let me summarize its definition and summarize its meaning, Yingzheng really couldn't answer.
"Then listen up!" Ju Zizhou Zhengse: "The so-called "sacredness" is actually the fundamental reason why a regime is naturally "reasonable and legitimate" and why it is convincing! ”
Ying Zheng frowned.
He couldn't understand it.
"Gongzi Xiaobai is down, but the people who follow him did not think of abandoning him and robbing his goods, but used their lives to protect him, why is this?"
Ying Zheng thought for a while: "For the sake of profit? ”
"It's not just for profit!" Ju Zizhou said: "Because of the "sacredness", his disciples will not subconsciously think about the worst-case scenario - killing him and obtaining property. ”
"Do you understand the "sacredness" of King Qin? Ju Zizhou asked.
"Understand something." Speaking of this, Ying Zheng is a little familiar: "King Qin told me" King Qin will not be wrong.
His sacredness is actually to establish his image as "not an extraordinary person", right? ”
"Almost." Ju Zizhou nodded: "But this is his personal "sacredness". ”
"What about the existence of the "Qin State" that was expanded? ”
What is it that sustains its most basic "justice"? ”
"Relations of production?" Ying Zheng replied.
"The relations of production correspond to people and people." Ju Zizhou said: "And the "Qin State" is a kind of political power, a part of the "system", and a part of the "superstructure". ”
So, is it the "economic base"? ”
"Still not right!" Ju Zizhou shook his head: "The economic foundation determines whether the superstructure can exist, not to maintain its "justice". ”
Is that "sacredness"? Ying Zheng frowned and grimaced.
Every time Ju Zizhou only needs to tell new knowledge, he wants to hollow out Ju Zizhou in one go, but the reality is that he just listens to a little something, and his mind is already swollen and he can't understand it.
"Yes, it is "sacredness"! Ju Zizhou sighed: "Qin, Zhao, Korea, Wei...... All the kingdoms in this world have a "supreme" king, and below them are a large number of noble vassals. ”
Ju Zizhou said, dipping his fingers in ink and drawing a triangle on the table.
He then drew parallel lines parallel to the bottom of the triangle and cut the triangle into a dozen triangles.
Finger pressed on the smallest triangle at the top: "This is "Wang", below is "Hou", and below is "Qing", "Shi" and "......"
The thing that underpins the existence of this whole "system" is "sacredness"! ”
"I still don't quite understand." Ying Zheng shook his head with a bitter face.
Ju Zizhou nodded: "Then let's start from the beginning." ”
"What would people be like when there were no countries in the world?" Ju Zizhou asked.
Ying Zheng shook his head.
He couldn't imagine it.
"When there is no country, people live together." Ju Zizhou said: "But there is no relevant system, so there is no law, no etiquette, only a vague distinction between superiors and subordinates. ”
"At this time, we call it the tribe."
"In the tribe, the highest status ...... Who do you think it will be? ”
Ying Zheng thought for a while: "It should be the one with the biggest fist." ”
"Maybe so." Ju Zizhou nodded: "What about the second highest status?" ”
"Yes...... The second largest fist? ”
Ju Zizhou didn't answer, but said: "Do you think, why do you have a big fist and a high status?" ”
"Because of the mastery of violence!" Ying Zheng said: "So will the person with the second biggest fist want to kill the one with the biggest fist and then be the boss himself?" ”
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and did not speak.
"Let's assume that the person with the biggest fist is the one with the highest status."
"If this person is you, then Yingzheng, how can you maintain your highest status?"
Ying Zheng tilted his head: "What about senior brother?" How would you do it? ”
"If it were me, I would first defeat the one with the second largest fist, and then turn him into my "slave", and then, when I had the biggest fist and the highest status, I made a rule: If I challenge me and fail to challenge, I will become my slave and challenge successfully, then he will replace me as the highest, and then I will become his slave. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes widened, a little confused.
"This can be used when I'm in the prime of life, when my fist is the biggest."
"But people will always get old, and when they get old, their fists won't be so big!" Ju Zizhou continued: "So I have to plan ahead and think of ways to keep my highest position even when I am old. ”
"So how?" Ying Zheng asked urgingly.
He had a hunch.
The answer to this question is important!
"Violence and profit, remember?" Ju Zizhou asked: "When I was still the biggest fist, I pulled those people with big fists together and promised them to share the benefits; Then deter with their own violence. ”
"In this way, we can establish a violent group with the most basic benefits to share, so as to ensure that the violence of our group is above any one individual or group."
"And then?" Ying Zheng was short of breath, and his eyes were fixed on Ju Zizhou: "Then!" ”
"But that's not enough insurance!" Ju Zizhou's face was expressionless: "It's like when you subdued the rangers, you just said that you would give money every month, just relying on Zhao Guoshiwu's violent deterrence, it's not enough!" ”
"So I promised, when I am old, I will pass on my highest position to the group, the person with the big fist who is most loyal to me!"
Ying Zheng's breath stagnated: "Then what?" ”
"Then I grew old, and those who were faithful to me came to power...... What will he do? ”
"How...... How? ”
"He ascended to a high position and banished me with his backhand...... Is this possible? ”
Ying Zheng pursed his lips, and his body began to tremble: "Yes!" ”
"So now that he is the one with the highest status, and the interest group has been formed, what is the future he has to face?" Ju Zizhou asked.
"Banished when you get old!" Ying Zheng replied.
"Guess he...... Do you want to face such a fate? ”
"I don't want to!"
"What can he do to avoid such a fate?" Ju Zizhou asked.
"I don't know...... What should I do? ”
"Pass the position to your own ...... Son, rule respect for the elderly! Ju Zizhou smiled, his teeth white.
"But that's not enough!" Ju Zizhou stared at Ying Zheng's eyes: "It's still a little short...... What's missing, Ying Zheng, do you know? ”
Ying Zheng's mouth is dry.
Ying Zheng's eyes burned.
Ying Zheng felt that his whole body was about to burn.
"Establish ...... Sacredness ......"
"How?" Ju Zizhou's voice is ethereal, as in the sky, as in the ears.
Ying Zheng's brain is a mess.
He couldn't think anymore.
"That is only set up, forever, beyond all human violence, to deter all!"
"This violence...... It is the "gods". ”
This "deity" is my own...... Ancestors! ”
"I am a descendant of the gods, so I am rightfully supreme, so you should owe allegiance to me. ”
"So ......"
"So ......"
One language after another flowed through his ears, and Yingzheng, who has always had an excellent memory, didn't hear a word clearly, and didn't write down a word.
I don't know how long it has been, Ying Zheng retreated from his trance, looked at Ju Zizhou in front of him intently, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.
"Senior brother......" Ying Zheng's voice was dry.
"The supreme bloodline, the innate nobility...... These ......" Ju Zizhou looked at Ying Zheng.
These are ...... externalizations of "sacredness," right? Ying Zheng smiled bitterly.
Ju Zizhou nodded: "Do you think your current status depends on this "sacredness"? ”
Ying Zheng looked at Ju Zizhou's smiling expression, and a huge and indescribable fear flowed out of his heart.
"What would happen to you if you lost this "sacredness" that comes from the "bloodline", Yingzheng? Ju Zizhou muttered.
Ying Zheng's body trembled, and then he realized something and jumped up: "What's the matter?" Who's talking nonsense? ”
"I've heard people say that you may not be the biological son of the "Prince of Qin" Zi Chu. Ju Zizhou lowered his head and flicked the ash in his nails.
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth: "This is definitely a rumor!" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a rumor or not!" Ju Zizhou smiled: "The important thing is to see what the person who has the right to speak says!" ”
This "sacredness" brought about by the bloodline is too fragile, and as long as your father insists on not recognizing you as his son, then you will lose this "sacredness". Ju Zizhou sighed: "How simple! ”
Ying Zheng clenched his fists: "Yes...... How easy! ”
The "sacredness" that cannot be grasped by oneself...... Loss is just a matter of someone else's words...... It's really vulnerable!
Ying Zheng pursed his lips: "Then senior brother, how can we establish the "sacredness" that I can grasp as soon as possible?" ”
Ju Zizhou said leisurely: "It's also simple, destroy the six countries and kill the nobles." ”
"It's so simple......" Ying Zheng smiled, his teeth were white, and his demeanor was the same as Ju Zizhou.
