Chapter 285: Learning That Can't Be Taken Away
Great sorrow, great joy and great sorrow, this is probably the state of the Qin people in recent years.
One year and three days after the death of King Zhaoxiang, the new King of Qin also left. An Guojun has only been a king for three days... I only saw the ministers once, and even many appointments have not been issued, so they left in a hurry, the ministers were not so surprised, An Guojun's physical condition has always been very bad, especially after the death of King Zhaoxiang, he was on the sickbed all the year round, unable to get up, and the ministers even thought that he might not survive the filial piety period.
The joy of the original victory disappeared so quickly.
When Zhao Kuo heard the bad news, the whole person couldn't believe it, he died three days after ascending the throne? He didn't know what the historical An Guojun was like, but he remembered that the first emperor of the ages ascended the throne at a young age, so it seems.... It seems that Inhumans can't hold out for long? Different from the sadness of the Qin people, Zhao Kuo's doormen, the family members are much calmer, they are not Qin people, and they do not have such strong feelings for the King of Qin.
An Guojun has never visited Zhao Kuo because of physical reasons, for these people, An Guojun is just a stranger, even Zhao Zheng, there is not much grief on his face, he doesn't seem to be very willing to cry, he doesn't have any feelings for this big father... When Zhao Kuo took him to mourn for the king, he also lowered his head and didn't say a word, which was completely different from the rest of the sons who cried into tears, and it was out of place.
Yiren cried very sadly, Zhao Kuo didn't think it was a disguise, he was really sad... And the ministers who didn't dare to get too close to Yiren on weekdays were also around him at the moment, because after the death of King Qin, Yiren was going to become the king of Qin, whether it was the ministers, nobles like Yangquanjun, or Yiren's brothers, their eyes at Yiren became a lot more respectful.
The brothers who were hostile to him were all holding him at the moment, calling out to their brothers, and crying in a mess.
The funeral is still very simple, Zhao Kuo also understands why Shang Ying, a person from the Legalist family, wants to propose a festival funeral like the Mo scholar, probably because he is afraid of such a situation as An Guojun, if several kings die in a short period of time, and every time they have to work hard to mobilize the people, and let the people of the whole country keep filial piety, it is really the biggest disaster in a country. Zhao Kuo still has some respect for this An Guojun in his heart.
An Guojun is different from his father, he is more human than King Zhaoxiang, he has his own spoiled concubines, and he also likes to call his children and grandchildren to his side, King Zhaoxiang is a pure king, he only has governing the country in his mind, King Zhaoxiang can sacrifice his family for the sake of Qin, and An Guojun probably won't be like this. During the year that he actually ruled the Qin State, he also did a lot of things.
The State of Qin is a very lucky country.
After Zhao Lian, the Duke of Qin, ascended the throne, he carried out reforms in the Qin State, he abolished the martyrdom, moved the capital to Liyang, and expanded the commercial activities of the Qin State, compiled household registration, and promoted the county system. and recover Hexi, defeat Han and Wei... made the people of the world discover that this Qin State still has quite potential. And Qin Xiaogong, who succeeded him after him, won Quliang, which, needless to say, reused Shang Ying to change the law, establish a county system of administration, open up a lot of money, and continuously improve agricultural production while strengthening centralized power.
Externally, Qin made peace with Chu, signed a contract with Han, united Qi and Zhao to attack Anyi, the capital of Wei, and expanded the land to the east of Luoshui.
made the people of the world discover that this Qin State is quite strong.
After him, King Yingsi of Qin Huiwen, although he killed Shang Ying, did not abolish his reforms, he proclaimed himself King of Qin, and became the first king of Qin. During the reign, Wen Youzhang Yi even crossed the Six Kingdoms, Wu Yougongsun Yan, Zhu Lizi, Sima Cuo, Northern Expedition to Yiqu, Xiping Bashu, East Hangu, South Shang Yu.... began the road of crazy expansion, so that the people of the world found out, why is this Qin State so strong???
After him, King Wu of Qin was Yingdang, tall and strong, and Kong Wu was warlike, set up a prime minister internally, allied with Wei externally, and united with Yue to control Chu. Militarily, he attacked Yiyang, set up three rivers, pacified the Shu rebellion, and economically, revised the feudal territory, repaired the field law, dredged the river, built embankments and bridges... Although he has only been a king for four years, what he has done in these four years has surpassed the achievements of monarchs of other countries for more than ten years.... He made the people of the world discover that there was no way to defeat the tyrannical Qin without uniting.
And after him is the king of Zhaoxiang, this one doesn't need to say anything, Fan Ju in his left hand, and white in his right hand, which made the coalition forces of various countries scream, calling the Qin State invincible!
And An Guojun, who had just passed away, ascended the throne for three days... But being a human being is not mediocre, if the body is a little better... is probably also a Ming monarch, as for the alien, Zhao Kuo doesn't know how he behaved in history, but judging from his usual behavior, he is definitely a qualified king, and his subsequent Yingzheng... Well... From the dedication of the Qin State to the present, the Ming monarch has been produced from generation to generation, which is a bit too bullying.
In the feudal era, the talent of the king can determine the rise and fall of a country to a large extent, and the king of the fallen country is not too talented, even if some of the policies he wants to implement are good, he is too hasty, he does not think of the feasibility at all, he cannot see the situation of the people, he cannot listen to the advice of the ministers, and finally leads to the demise of the country. Such a king is really not a wise king.
After sending off the King of Qin, Zhao Kuo took Zheng back home, sat in the carriage, and Ge was still saying: "That stranger is going to be the King of Qin?" When he was in Zhao State, he was so down-and-out, the nobles of the entire Zhao Kingdom, except for you, no one was willing to deal with him, and now he is actually going to be the king of Qin...", Ge's words were quite a bit crazy in this era, but Zhao Kuo ignored him.
Ge said: "When that LΓΌ Buwei used all his wealth to support him, he probably saw that he could be the king... This businessman is very powerful, but I am afraid that he will become the most favored minister of the Qin State in the future... But I don't like him very much, and every time I see him, I feel like a profiteer in Handan City, trying to cheat me out of my money..."
"Ge Gong... It is a serious crime to slander the prime minister and the king in the Qin State...", Zhao Zheng suddenly said.
Ge said a little angrily: "Qin Guo is not good at this, everything is a felony, I repaired the car in the courtyard that day, and the chief also fined me a shield, I repaired my own carriage, what does it have to do with him?" Even this is illegal! Politics! If you succeed to the throne in the future! Remember to give a law! There is no sin in repairing one's own carriage in the mansion! β
"Ahem...", Zhao Kuo cleared his throat, and Ge didn't continue to say more.
Zhao Zheng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
When they just returned home, they saw a big head poking out of the door, looking left and right, Ge glanced at it, and immediately sneered and said: "Isn't this our Prime Minister's Mansion Officials Shi Baishi Daguan Di?" How did you get here? Di walked out with a smile, Ge stopped the carriage, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Zheng also got out of the car, Zhao Zheng hurriedly walked to Di's side, Di and Zhao Kuo met each other, then leaned down and secretly gave Zheng something.
Ge pulled the carriage into the courtyard, and said, "I don't know if you're coming, and I haven't made any preparations, why didn't you bring your accompanying samurai, retainers, guests, or something." Di glanced at him disdainfully, and then said, "I'm here to see you, a commoner, is it necessary to bring these?" Not even a knighthood! β
"Heh, with your high title, I heard that you helped him guard the door in LΓΌ Buwei's mansion?"
"You old thief, how can you not die?"
The two quarreled again, Zhao Kuo had long been accustomed to this, and walked directly from the two of them, he didn't bother to pay attention to these two people, in the courtyard, fortunately, Zhao Fu, Li Yu and others, they were all around each other, I don't know what they were talking about, when they saw Zhao Kuo coming, they all got up immediately, Zhao Kuo was very happy, since they arrived in the Qin State, they all went to various places to serve as officials and the like, Li Yu even became a county commander, and there was a chance to rise further.
It's been a long time since they've been together.
It turned out that they all asked for leave to mourn for King Qin this time, the main purpose was to come to see Zhao Kuo, Zhao Zheng was naturally very happy to see these people, everyone sat together and chatted, and Ge and Di were the last to come in, Ge pushed away Xing, sat in his place, looked at him again, and said: "They are all thieves, why are you a pavilion chief?" Di can be mixed into the Prime Minister's Mansion. β
Fortunately, he was not annoyed, he just smiled and said, "I don't know the word Dido." β
Di nodded and said, "That's right, I've been reading a lot of books lately. β
"Oh, I didn't know that there was such a scholar hidden by my side, Dizi, disrespectful and disrespectful."
It was a familiar quarrel again, Li Yu sat next to Zhao Kuo, and said seriously: "The canal that Mr. Zheng Guo wants to build happens to be in Fuping, he still remembers me, he is very happy after meeting, he is busy building the canal there now... He is out all day, eating rough meals, and he can't sleep well, he is a very persistent person...", Zhao Kuo nodded from time to time, and then said: "You have to send someone to take care of him..."
Zhao Fu stayed by Zhao Kuo's side, he didn't go anywhere, he just listened to them chatting with peace of mind at the moment, Zhao Fu was also a little old at the moment, no longer as strong and powerful as he was back then, and his words became less, he just listened to them quietly on weekdays.
"Where's Ming? Why didn't Ming come? β
Di on the side suddenly turned around and said, "Ming went to the Wei State, oh, the prime minister sent him... He's a deputy...."
"Why, the State of Qin sent an envoy to the State of Wei? What's to be done? β
Di immediately came to his senses, looked at them, and whispered: "I told the second and third sons, but the second and third sons don't tell others... This matter...", Zhao Kuo immediately reprimanded loudly: "Di! Can't say much more! You are now an official of the Qin State, and you must obey the laws of the Qin State! Di was a little helpless and didn't continue, while the others knew the severity, so they didn't ask and directly changed the topic.
They chatted for a long time, and Zhao Fu prepared a meal again, and everyone enjoyed it together. They were very happy, they enjoyed this life, and to speak, having a knighthood and being an official everywhere like this is not the life they wanted. And at this moment, as if they were still in Handan, chatting happily, Li Yu reminded them many times that King Qin had just passed away, and logically speaking, they couldn't get together, and they couldn't laugh.
The men stayed until the evening, and then they left.
Zhao Kuo was a little reluctant to say goodbye, Di hugged Kang, pecked him on the face several times, and then let him go, and the last one left here. Zhao Zheng also followed his father to stand at the door, bidding farewell to them one by one, they were also emotional, unconsciously, Zhao Zheng became so big, he couldn't tease him like before, fortunately, there was still a Kang, Kang looked at the fruit in his arms and smirked.
Zhao Zheng smiled and glanced at him, and he immediately ran away with the fruit in his arms.
This made Zhao Zheng very angry and shouted: "I won't rob you of those things to eat!" What do you run! β
The brothers are always quarrelling, Zhao Kang is too young, he can't quarrel yet, but he knows how to provoke his brother, destroy the castle he built with great difficulty, paint on his bamboo slips, sleep with his brother at night and pee on his bed... These practices always made Zhao Zheng furious, and several times, he swore to sever relations with Zhao Kang, but when the little guy cheekily kissed his face, the oath disappeared without a trace.
The good news is that Yi is pregnant again.
This year, Zhao Zheng was nine years old, and Zhao Kang was three years old... Zhao Kang didn't know why his parents and eldest mother were so happy, and he didn't know why his father hugged his mother and cheered, and Zhao Zheng looked a lot sad, when Zhao Kang was not born in the past, he was so expectant, hoping that his mother could give him a younger brother as soon as possible, but now, when Zhao Kang grew up, this sense of expectation disappeared.
Zhao Zheng is always worried, just one Zhao Kang is already annoying enough, if there is another one, how can it be good?
He can only think in a good direction, maybe his mother will give birth to a child who is not as naughty as Zhao Kang, or maybe his mother will give birth to a sister for herself, and she will not be as angry with herself as Zhao Kang.... Right??
Just when Zhao Kuo was happy that he was about to have a third child, Xunzi came to his house.
It was Li Si who helped him to come, Xunzi first congratulated Zhao Kuo, and then said his intention, he was leaving the Qin State.
"Why?"
Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, Xunzi's age was already very old, at such an advanced age, where did he want to go when he left the Qin State?
Xunzi said with a smile: "In the Qin State, facing Gongsun Long all day long, I can't eat this meal...", Zhao Kuo chuckled, Xunzi was obviously joking, although he looked down on famous people and Gongsun Long, but their relationship was still very good, Xunzi became serious, and said: "I'm already very old, I want to go to various places to see, accept a few more excellent disciples, and inherit my knowledge..."
"My "Poems" were passed on to Mao Heng."
"The book was passed on to Lees."
"And "Music", "Rites", and "Spring and Autumn" have no one to inherit..."
"I need to find the right disciples so that they can continue to carry forward my teachings... Otherwise, when I die, my doctrine will follow me into the ground..."
Xunzi said with a smile.
