Looking at the three children in the courtyard, Zhao Kuo had a vague headache, he didn't expect that he came here thousands of years later, and finally became a kindergarten principal... Well, Zhao's mother is very happy, the old man likes children very much, and she also likes Cheng Chan who is reluctant to leave here, Cheng Chan is different from politics and Kang, politics is more mature, Kang is more stubborn, Cheng Chan This child looks stupid, and he can giggle for a long time if he gives a fruit.

In terms of age, he is two years older than Kang and four years younger than the political leader.

He was very afraid of life, and he didn't dare to approach Zhao Kuo and Zhao's mother at first, but after they expressed their kindness, he quickly became close, he was very well-behaved, always standing by Zhao's mother's side, Zhao's mother didn't let him play, he didn't dare to play.... Because Zhao Zheng still has to study, Cheng Chan plays with Zhao Kang most of the time, and the two get along very happily, waiting for his brother to come home while playing.

Since Xunzi left the Qin State, Zhao Zheng returned to Han Fei's side again.

It's a pity that after receiving Xunzi's education, Zhao Zheng is no longer as obedient as before, he always questions Han Fei's doctrine, and puts forward his own ideas, Han Fei is very unhappy, and misses Zhao Zheng very much, at that time, he will believe whatever Han Fei says, and will write it down, but now, Han Fei said a word, he can refute ten sentences, Han Fei is always angry with him, and even becomes stuttering again.

Han Fei always stutters when he is excited.

Han Fei is still serving as an official now, and he may not even have thought that after coming to the Qin State for two years, he would actually become an old minister of the Three Dynasties.... During this period of time as an official in the Qin State, Han Fei began to turn his theory into practice, and at the same time constantly enriched his theory in practice, many of his ideas have some shadows of Zhao Kuo's theory, but they are completely different, Han Fei has always advocated the use of law to govern the country.

After accepting many of Zhao Kuo's ideas, his doctrine became to use the law to protect the people, to curb the powerful, to supervise the rulers... Therefore, Han Fei proposed a lot of prohibitions, including a series of supervision methods for the ministers and a series of protection methods for the people. The Qin State attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry, so it would not easily launch conscription and war during the busy agricultural season, and Han Fei was the first minister to propose the use of laws to clarify this.

He directly proposed that the king should not be allowed to wage conscription and war during the busy agricultural season, and of course, in the event of aggression or if it was unavoidable, the people could be conscripted to fight by consulting with the three princes, including the prime minister. Han Fei was still thinking about it, and in addition, he did a big thing... He created a new tax law for business. The tax revenue of the Qin State has always been mainly based on land tax, supplemented by commercial tax.

Han Fei probably realized that the taxes of the Qin State were too complicated and the burden on the people was too great, so he proposed to implement a new set of tax methods: calculate the property of the big domestic merchants and craftsmen, pay the new commercial tax according to the personal benefit, and set up a car tax for the means of transportation, except for the officials with a certain title, the rest of the people who have a car must pay the tax.

Han Fei may want to reduce the burden on farmers through open source.

Han Fei had a lot of ideas, and Qin gave him a platform to practice, so he delved into it, so he was always impeached, and the ministers thought that he was not doing his job, but the matter at hand, that is, the work of the court lieutenant, he did not fall behind at all, whether it was to participate in changing the law or judging criminals, it was not too difficult for Han Fei.

Zhao Zheng followed Han Fei's side, that is, he followed him, watched him make judgments, watched him study the law, and thought about how to improve it, and now his learning focus is on the law, Han Fei often discusses the law with him, and there are some concepts of governing the country, Zhao Zheng also has his own views on this, and when he returns home, Zhao Kuo will teach some things that are different from others.

Physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography and the like, occasionally tell him some stories.

Zhao Zheng likes to listen to his father tell him stories.

"Father... Senior brother told me today that to govern a country, you can't be swayed by emotions, you can't choose courtiers because of disgust and affection, and you can't start a war because of anger.... He also said: The law should be used to restrict the behavior of the king...", Zhao Zheng said seriously: "I think what he said is very reasonable, if the king appoints someone like Zhao Yue because of his favor, it will make the country decline, but I don't understand one thing." ”

"What don't you understand?"

"How can the law of the king restrain the king?"

"It's... I think it is probably through the ministers that if the king insists on disposing of the ministers, then the ministers who carry out his orders can come up with laws against his actions. ”

"What if the king wants to abolish this law?"

"Therefore, the person who has the law is the most important, and the law should not be easily changed."

What if the law is no longer in accordance with the present? Nor can it be changed? This is clearly not true... And if the ruler of the law is not a king, but a minister, what if the minister wants to threaten the king through the law and achieve his own intentions? ”

The more Zhao Zheng learned, the more confusion seemed to be, in this regard, Zhao Kuo could only smile and tell him: "If you think that the king is the ruler of the country, everything must be beneficial to the king, then this is wrong, the king does not represent the country, it is the majority of the people living here who represent the country, and the interests of these people are the interests of the country, and the interests of the king are not the interests of the country." ”

"If the king's system is only good for him, then the people will rise up against him, and if the king's policies are good for the people, then the people will support him, even if some of the king's ministers want to murder him, which is not possible... It's the people who matter... In other words, if a king wants to abolish a law that benefits the people, he will certainly face opposition.... And the problem of the minister's rebellion you are talking about... The law restricts the king, but it also restricts the ministers..."

Zhao Zheng squinted his eyes, carefully wrote down his father's words, and went back to the house.

The next day, when he rushed to Han Fei's side, he asked the same question again, and of course, he got a different answer here in Han Fei.

Zhao Zheng looked at the two answers he had recorded seriously, and the third correct answer that he thought was already in his mind.

.....

The state of Zhao ushered in the envoy of the state of Qin.

In a short period of time, he sent away two Qin kings in a row, but King Zhao was not happy, because in the last campaign, Zhao failed, of course, it cannot be said to be a failure, after all, Lian Po also ate a lot of Qin troops, and the Qin people repelled his attack, but for the confident King Zhao, not being able to defeat the party is the biggest failure.

This made King Zhao very angry, and he even felt that if he let Li Mu come to replace Lian Po on the expedition, he might be able to win the Qin people. He wanted Li Mu to return to the temple and Lian Po to guard the border stop, but Pang Gong and Kong Bin hurriedly dissuaded him. They believe that the failure to occupy Shangdang is not all a matter of the commander-in-chief, Zhao does not have as much food as the other party, the soldiers are not as elite as the other party, and even the weapons are not as good as the other party.

If Li Mulai is allowed to serve as the commander, this young man is not as stable as Lian Po, and it may lead to more serious consequences.

King Zhao frowned, sat on the top seat, looked at the two ministers sitting beside him, and said with some displeasure: "It's not that the widow doesn't believe in Xin Pingjun's ability, the widow just thinks that Xin Pingjun is already old, and the widow can't bear him to work, so he wants Wu Anjun to replace him...", hearing King Zhao's words, Pang Gong didn't speak, but Kong Bin on the side, shook his head and said: "What Zhao Guo needs now is a veteran like Xin Pingjun..."

"Xin Pingjun never rushes forward, he is steady, even if he can't win, he can bring the army back to Zhao safely. But if it's Wu Anjun... He will definitely fight to the death with the Qin State, either completely occupy the Shangdang, or the whole army will be annihilated... Zhao still needs to increase his national strength and make more allies. It is not a good thing to go to war with a country that is stronger than you at all costs, so please think about it. ”

Hearing Kong Bin's advice, King Zhao finally dispelled his thoughts, and he continued: "The envoy sent by the Qin State wants the Zhao State to send back the wife of the stranger... He also said that the two countries could draw up an alliance and not attack each other..."

Pang Gong then said: "Just send someone to send the wife of the other person back, it's just that you don't have to care about things like drawing up a covenant, these are all things that the Qin people coaxed you to say, after the King of Qin succeeded to the throne, he must be the first to attack the Zhao State, please let Xinping Jun and Wu Anjun train their soldiers and prepare for war." A trivial matter like this is not worth talking about at all..."

King Zhao was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said: "I have heard that the drama Xin of Yan State is a sage, he has written works, there are nine articles of "Drama", and he can command the army, brave and good at fighting, but King Yan reprimanded him for his defeat, and was unwilling to let him serve as a general, some people said, Pang Gong and he used to be very good friends, I don't know if you can invite him to Zhao State?" ”

Pang Gong was stunned, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I haven't seen Ju Xin for many years, and I don't know if he is willing to come to Zhao State. ”

"Please send someone to invite him...", King Zhao said with some excitement, "The widow is willing to give him land!" Let him become the feudal lord of Zhao State! ”

Kong Bin looked at Pang Gong beside him, sighed, and did not speak.

Pang Gong nodded and agreed to him.

.........

When Xunzi came to Xinzheng, King Han was very happy and immediately sent the minister to greet him.

Xunzi didn't want to see King Han, but Zhang Ping respected him very much, he lowered his head and drove to Xunzi's side in person, Xunzi had no choice, Xunzi said a few words to the young people around him, then got in the car, followed Zhang Ping to the palace, Zhang Ping greeted Xunzi's situation, and then asked: "I heard that Ma Fujun is in Qin, I haven't seen him for a long time, I don't know how his situation is?" ”

"He's fine."

"Hmm...", Zhang Ping nodded, and said with a smile: "Last month, my wife gave birth to a son for me, named Liang... When he is older, I am going to let him study with Ma Fujun...", Xunzi was still a little cold to Zhang Ping, but he just hummed, Xunzi didn't like South Korea, and he didn't like Zhang Ping, and even this time he was just passing by Xinzheng and didn't want to see King Han at all.

It's just that Zhang Ping is very enthusiastic, he respects Xunzi very much, and even has a lot of confusion and wants to ask him for advice.

Xunzi asked, "How did King Han know that I was in Xinzheng?" ”

"I heard that you and Mr. Gongsun Long left the Qin State and rushed to Korea, and later I heard from the officials: Mr. Gongsun Long died of illness.... As soon as you entered the city today, the officials guarding the city gate sent someone to tell the king..."

The two came to the gate of the palace, and Zhang Ping hurriedly helped Xunzi and walked into the palace.

King Han had already prepared a banquet, and when Xunzi walked in, King Han stood up happily and stepped forward to meet Xunzi, after all, he was the lord of a country, Xunzi just didn't like him anymore, and he couldn't be rude to him. King Han sat on the top seat and said with a smile: "It is an honor for South Korea for Xunzi to come to South Korea... Please stay a few more days so that the widow can entertain you. ”

Xunzi is still very indifferent, he heard a lot of things about this King Han from Zhao Kuo, these things made him despise King Han very much in his heart, he just nodded casually, regardless of other things, closed his eyes and rested, only Zhang Ping, sitting next to him, asked him some questions, Xunzi likes people who love to learn, for Zhang Ping's questions, he still answered with his heart.

King Han held the wine cup and said to Xunzi with a smile: "In the past, South Korea, the war continued, the people were not happy, the widow for Korea, voluntarily rushed to the Qin State, endured humiliation, shouldered heavy responsibilities, and successfully got South Korea out of the war, and now South Korea is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.... The widow's behavior can be said to be a wise monarch. ”

Xunzi suddenly laughed, and he said: "It turns out that you are a king like Gou Jian, who endures humiliation and burdens!" This is something I didn't expect, then, now that you have deceived the King of Qin, dispelled the suspicion of the Qin State about you, and you also have a capable person like Fan Li under your command, when are you going to send troops to attack the Wu State? ”

King Han's face did not change, and he smiled unfathomably.

"Hmm.. It's almost there.. It's almost there. ”

After Xunzi left the banquet in a huff, King Han called Zhang Ping.

"Zhang Xiang... The widows have a way to increase the land of 100 li in Korea. ”

"Huh? Zhang Xiang? Zhang Xiang?? What's wrong with you? ”

"Someone!!"
