Chapter 194: Besieging Qin and Saving Chu (Thanks to the Alliance Leader from the World)
Before the carriage could reach Mafu, it was blocked halfway through.
The road from Handan to Mafu is no longer as bumpy as before, and according to the specifications of Zhao Guo's carriage, this road has been renovated again. It was not the king of Zhao who renovated this road, but the nobles of Handan, in order to be able to consult Ma Fujun in time, they used their own retainers and spent a lot of materials to create this avenue that could accommodate two carriages at the same time, and the Zhao people called it "seeking talent".
Nobles from all over the Zhao Kingdom often go to Mafu through this road, meet Ma Fujun, or ask for teaching, or want the children of the family to stay by Zhao Kuo's side, or sell their reputation, just to meet Ma Fujun, so that others can brag about their deep friendship with Ma Fujun. No matter what purpose these people came for, Zhao Kuo would not snub them.
Zhao Kuo did not get tired of instilling his benevolent ideas in them, and he did not expect that his words could awaken their conscience in their hearts, and they could become sages who cared about the people and worried about the country and the people... However, it is enough to make them better for the people. These nobles who left from Mafu Township seem to have changed into a different person, and after returning to their fiefdom and hometown, some people actually gave their family property to their villagers, making a look like they got a lot of feelings from Mafu Jun.
Wei Wuji stepped down from the carriage, he looked at the dozen or so carriages in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head, took out the wine bag, and drank, he looked around seriously, outside the Mafu Township, a new township appeared, to be precise, this is the new school, Zhao people call this Handan School. A low courtyard wall enclosed the schoolroom, leaving only two narrow doors, which were open and unguarded.
There were a lot of carriages parked outside the door, and the drivers gathered together and chatted.
Wei Wuji took his guests and walked into this brand-new school, saying that it was a school, in fact, it was no different from the township, the school was a field-shaped road, and there were courtyards on both sides of the road, neat and symmetrical, quite a bit of Qin architectural style, Wei Wuji walked on the road drunk, and saw a few young people in front of him, and they were discussing while walking.
"It is impossible for the Qin State to achieve what the teacher said about the world as one king, the strength of the Qin State is because of their military merit system, if they unify through killing, then the hatred is unavoidable, and the people of all countries will still find ways to resist his rule.... If he doesn't kill, then the military merit system will collapse, and the Qin State will no longer be strong, and may even be directly destroyed..."
"Didn't the teacher say that? The first rank is not important, the important thing in the military merit system is the title, to be precise, it is the benefit of the promotion of the title, the arable land of various countries is concentrated in the hands of the nobles, and the arable land can be distributed to the soldiers who are fighting, so as to stabilize the military merit system and reduce killings? ”
"If you don't kill, how can you calculate your military merits and how can you improve your title?"
A few people were talking, and walked past Wei Wuji's side, Wei Wuji looked at the disciples in surprise, took another sip of wine, and said to the left and right with a smile: "If it weren't for the busy state affairs, I would have wanted to stay here and study with Ma Fujun...", a guest quipped: "If you stay here, I'm afraid that because you get drunk during the lecture time, you will be scolded by Ma Fujun for being a rotten wood, and then you will be kicked out!" ”
Wei Wuji laughed.
Walking further in, there were more strange disciples encountered, some disciples were writing bamboo slips, some disciples were practicing swords, and even a few disciples were throwing fruits into the sky, and then watched the fruits fall blankly, still muttering: "Why is this...", Wei Wuji could only say that Ma Fujun's teaching method was really peculiar. The number of disciples was not small, and Wei Wuji even saw that Han Fei was surrounded by a group of disciples, answering their confusion.
"Senior brother, why does the teacher say: The Fa is treacherous and not good?"
"When the people are united, they will cover up each other's faults, which is the so-called goodness, and the people will be alienated and separated from each other, and they will supervise each other, which is the so-called adultery... The people are not allowed to protect each other's sins because of their friendship with each other, sons are allowed to sue their fathers, and retainers are allowed to sue their masters... The Fa is not close to human feelings, so the teacher said: The Fa is not good. Han Fei's stuttering is gradually getting better, explaining the teacher's truth, and the head of the story is the Tao.
The peculiar title of senior brother was inadvertently revealed by Zhao Kuo, and he always pointed at Han Fei and said: Learn from your senior brother! As a result, Zhao Kuo's disciples also adopted Zhao Kuo's statement, and recognized Han Fei as the senior brother, and after him, the controversy was relatively big, because almost all of them entered at the same time, so the rest of Zhao Kuo's disciples called each other junior disciples, and they refused to admit that they were late to enter the school with each other.
"Then senior brother, do you think what the teacher said is right?" , someone asked.
Han Fei said seriously: "The wise monarch raises his subordinates and people, acts in full accordance with the law, and is based on defense, so he does not pardon death row prisoners, does not lenient criminals, pardons death row prisoners, forgives criminals, and has mercy on the law, this is called the loss of prestige!" He paused, and then said: "Governing the country by law is just to formulate and implement it." The decree does not favor the powerful, the ink rope does not bend the grain, the decree should be sanctioned, the wise cannot escape, the brave dare not fight, the punishment of sins does not avoid the minister, and the reward merit does not omit the commoners. ”
"Therefore, there is nothing like the law to correct the faults of the above, to investigate the evil below, to control the chaos, to judge the fallacies, to cut the superfluous, to correct the mistakes, and to unify the norms of the people. There is no punishment for rectifying the officials, intimidating the people, removing fornication and laziness, and prohibiting fraud and hypocrisy. ”
The disciples listened and couldn't help but nodded, Zhao Kuo said relatively briefly on weekdays, if everyone didn't understand, they would come to the senior brother, the mediocre senior brother Han Fei could always answer their confusion, this senior brother who looked a little cute, seemed to have his own opinion on everything, he was the only one among the disciples who dared to debate with Zhao Kuo. Some time ago, the two quarreled over the severity of the criminal law.
Han Fei believes that only the most cruel criminal law can only serve as a warning and make others dare not break the law easily.
Zhao Kuo believes that the criminal law is too cruel and will take away the right to make the person who committed the mistake repent and become a new person.
Han Fei retorted: For those who commit minor crimes, they can not be severely punished and given a chance to mend their ways, but for those who kill others, if they are not tried with heavy punishments, who will give the victims a chance to be a new person?
Zhao Kuo was moved by Han Fei's words.
Han Fei saw Wei Wuji, stopped, and bowed towards Wei Wuji, all the disciples also hurriedly saluted, Wei Wuji returned the salute, Han Fei took them away, Wei Wuji sighed: "Just because of what he just said, he can serve as the minister of state in Zhao State." Wei Wuji was sighing, when he saw a child staggering over, the child looked very delicate, he seemed to be chasing Han Fei, Wei Wuji bent down, and hugged the little guy.
This child was not afraid of being born, and after being picked up by Wei Wuji, he just stared at Wei Wuji curiously.
"Is this the son of Bracket?" , Wei Wuji asked with a smile, and a few guests around him also came over, looking at this cute little guy, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to tease, but unfortunately, Wei Wuji searched all over his body, and he didn't find anything to eat for the little guy. The First Emperor of the Ages waited for a long time, and when he found out that Wei Wuji didn't give him a gift, he immediately burst into tears.
When Wei Wuji walked into the largest courtyard, Zhao Kuo was chatting with a middle-aged man, the two saw Wei Wuji, they both got up to greet him, Wei Wuji returned the salute, and then sat sullenly in front of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo looked at his messy beard, and asked with some surprise: "This is....?" ”
"Your son pulled it for me..."
Zhao Kuo pointed to the middle-aged man on the side and said to Wei Wuji: "This gentleman is the imperial doctor's order of the king, called Zuozu... It's Mr. Bian Que's apprentice grandson...", Wei Wuji had also heard of Bian Que, and hurriedly saluted the middle-aged man again, it was an elegant middle-aged man, who looked very gentle, he looked at Wei Wuji, looked at it for a while, and then said with some concern: "Xinling Jun... Have you been feeling tired lately? Drowsiness, loss of appetite? ”
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and asked with some fear, "How do you know?" ”
"I see that your face is pale, and you are constantly wiping your sweat...", Zu said, glanced at Zhao Kuo, approached Wei Wuji again, and asked in a low voice beside him: "You have been recently... Is it inhumane? ”
Wei Wuji's eyes widened in shock.
Ashicho sighed, and he said, "You need to stop drinking.... If you drink like this again, you will vomit blood, you will feel severe pain in your abdomen, and in the end, there will be no way to treat it... I'll prescribe some medicine for you, please don't drink anymore..", he said, Zhao Kuo also nodded, Wei Wuji's drinking day and night is indeed a little too violent, which is very hurtful.
Wei Wuji lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he smiled and said, "It's okay... I'll drink less. ”
Zhao Kuo said: "I found enough to ask him to help me, gather famous doctors, and sort out a medical book... Teach more doctors in Zhao Country...", Zhao Kuo said his thoughts, Wei Wuji listened carefully, chatted for a while, and understood that Wei Wuji had something important to come to Zhao Kuo, so he didn't continue to bother, said goodbye and left, Zhao Kuo ordered Zhao Fu to arrange his accommodation.
Wei Wuji told Zhao Kuo about his own affairs, Wei Wuji heard very early on that Zhao Guo had two talented and virtuous people who were not in politics, one was Mao Gong hiding among gamblers, and the other was Xue Gongyin in the hotel, Wei Wuji wanted to meet these two people, but these two people hid and refused to see Wei Wuji. When Wei Wuji found out where they were hiding, he quietly walked to mingle with the two men, and they were both happy to know each other.
Most of the nobles of Zhao State looked down on Wei Wuji's methods, and some people said: I heard that Wei Gongzi was a great sage who was unparalleled in the world, but now I heard that he actually came to mingle with those gamblers and hotel guys, and Gongzi was just an ignorant and reckless person.
Wei Wuji didn't pay any attention.
The State of Chu sent people to ask the State of Zhao for help, and the King of Zhao asked Wei Wuji's opinion, but Wei Wuji asked the King of Zhao not to send troops for the time being, because the State of Zhao had not recovered from the great war two years earlier. The Wei State originally sent Mao Sui as a general to help the Chu State, and the Qin people said that they wanted to take revenge on the Wei State. Pingyuan Jun sent people to make Wei Wuji the commander and lead the armies of Zhao and Wei to save Chu.
Wei Wuji didn't want to lead Wei's army to fight in Chu, and he even said directly to the doormen: Those who dare to inform and convey for Wei's envoys will be executed.
The two disciples he accepted before, Duke Mao and Duke Xue, came to find Wei Wuji and said to him: Gongzi is so respected in Zhao State and famous as princes, just because of the existence of Wei State. Now because of the attack of Qin, Wei is in a very critical time, there is no general to command the army of Wei, when Wei is in danger, you don't care, if Qin breaks through the Great Liang and razes your ancestor's temple, what face does Gongzi have to live in the world?
Wei Wuji was moved, and met with King Zhao again, informing King Zhao of Wei's thoughts. King Zhao felt that the State of Chu had helped the State of Zhao in the past, and now that the State of Qin wanted to destroy the State of Chu, he should not be indifferent, so he decided to take Wei Wuji as the general and lead the 50,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao to Shangdang and attack the State of Qin. Wei also had to send 50,000 soldiers to take Wei Wuji as the commander, that is, Wei Wuji was ready to lead the 100,000 troops of Zhao and Wei to solve the crisis of Chu.
Listening to Wei Wuji finish talking about these things, Zhao Kuo fell silent.
Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Aren't you optimistic about me?" Do you think I'm going to die at the hands of Bai Qi? Zhao Kuo still didn't answer, he just said seriously: "The army of the Qin State is gathered in Nanyang, if you want to save the Chu State, you can lead the army to attack the Shangdang... Try to avoid Bai Qi's edge and force the Qin State to end the war...", Zhao Kuo said as he stopped, he said: "But the war will not end..."
"Do you really think that the Qin State can dominate the world?"
"Unless the six countries unite, they are no match for the Qin State at all... The state of Qin was already ahead of other countries in terms of system. ”
"Even if there is a sage like you in the Zhao State, there is no way to surpass the Qin State?"
"Qin State's hundreds of years of efforts, how can it be that I can surpass it alone? The system I wanted to implement in Zhao was implemented by the Qin people first... In Zhao State, on the contrary, it cannot be taken seriously... The state of Qin regarded my ideas as the truth, applied my system to the country, and took my ideals as its own strategy.... I want to protect the Zhao people, but only the Qin State can realize my ideals and implement the system I propose... Isn't that ridiculous? ”
"Hahaha, yes... I follow your teachings, and the changes I want to implement are just beginning in the Zhao Kingdom, but the Qin Kingdom has completed most of them...", Wei Wuji grinned, and was about to pick up the wine bag to drink, but Zhao Kuo snatched the wine bag from him.
"You need to quit drinking."
PS: Although it hasn't healed yet, it's much better than yesterday. Don't worry too much about a bad cold.
After the infusion, I'll come back for an update.
Thanks to the alliance leader who came from the world... I would also like to thank all the book friends who supported the old wolf.
