In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Buwei and Sima Kong and the other cadres looked a little dull.

The desk in front of a few people is full of bamboo slips, and if you look closely, they are all classics of the hundred schools of thought.

At this time, Lü Buwei was naturally discussing the matter of writing a book.

Everyone present knows very well that this matter is very important, as long as it can be recognized by Yingzheng, it is Taifu, how important it is to Lu Buwei.

However, how to write a book has become a difficult problem.

The crowd had been arguing for an hour.

There is no one definitive statement.

Sima Kong said: "Prime Minister, the eldest son wants to learn the emperor's learning, not necessarily crowdfunding the learning of a hundred schools, if it is forcibly excerpted, it will seem that the prime minister is perfunctory. ”

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "What Mr. said is naturally known to the true phase, could it be that the three thousand people under the sect of the prime minister can't work together to achieve this goal?" ”

Sima Kong pointed to the text in front of him and said: "These Mo, Confucianism, Law and other schools of doctrine involve many contents such as ethics, morality, and government, and the content is complex, and it is difficult to become a system. ”

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

Suddenly, the servant came quickly into the hall from outside.

He bowed down and said, "Prime Minister, Marquis Wu has come to visit with his wife." ”

Lu Buwei's eyes widened, he looked left and right, and muttered, "Wuhou? Mrs. Wuhou? ”

Sima Kong, Qiao and Qiao looked at each other, and they were surprised, why did Wuhou come to visit? This lady?

Lu Buwei's face turned dark, yesterday in the palace, he was calculated by this martial marquis, and now his mood has not eased.

Lü Buwei looked at Sima Kong.

Sima Kong said: "Since Wuhou is visiting with his wife, if the prime minister is prevaricating, I am afraid that he will lose his courtesy, after all, Wuhou is also a powerful minister in the court." ”

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Put away these documents." ”

Sima Kong immediately said: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be like this! ”

Lu Buwei said: "What do you mean, sir?" ”

Sima Kong said: "Didn't the prime minister say that yesterday in the palace, this book was mentioned by Wuhou?" I don't know how to act after a long time of discussion today, why don't you listen to Wuhou's opinion on this, and we will distinguish it, if his words are vague, it means that what Wuhou said yesterday must have a plan, we can try to find out the truth, or Wuhou really has a hint? ”

Lu Buwei bowed his head slightly, and said, "Mr. is really anxious!" ”

Soon, Su Zai took Lu Caiwei to the main hall.

Su Zai smiled and immediately arched his hand: "Prime Minister, Ben Hou is polite." ”

Lu Buwei and the others looked at Su Zheng, and then looked at Lu Caiwei on Su Zheng's side, and praised them one by one, and said in their hearts: "So beautiful, no wonder even Wuhou has to be strong." ”

Lu Buwei got up, laughed, and said, "Wuhou quickly take a seat, and Madame is also invited quickly." ”

Sima Kong and the others gave up their hands one after another: "I'll see Wuhou, madam." ”

Lu Caiwei's expression turned slightly red, and she didn't speak.

Su Zheng was not polite, and helped Lu Caiwei to sit down first, this move made everyone stunned, what is the identity of Wuhou, even if Lu Caiwei is Wuhou's eldest wife, it is impossible to treat it so politely.

Even Lu Caiwei couldn't have imagined that Su Zheng would make such a move.

She also couldn't understand Su Zheng's beautiful character from the afterlife.

As soon as Su Zai sat down, he said: "Ben Hou took the liberty to disturb today, and I hope that the prime minister will be included." ”

Then Su Zai took out a delicate bamboo slip from his arms.

Lü Buwei looked at the results and said: "After three months? Wuhou Mansion has a banquet! This is? ”

Su Zai glanced at Lu Caiwei, and her eyes were full of love.

Lu Buwei suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "I see, the prime minister is going to congratulate Wuhou, counting it, Wuhou's age is indeed looking for a good person, Mrs. Zun is so beautiful, and Wuhou is a good match, and then the prime minister must be prepared with a generous gift!" ”

Su Zai smiled: "Then thank you so much, Prime Minister." ”

Su Zai glanced at Lu Caiwei fondly, Lu Caiwei and Su Zai's eyes touched, and they immediately blushed.

Xin said: "Is this Wuhou really not successful?" ”

Su Zai looked at the spread out books in front of Lu Buwei and said, "Prime Minister, what is this?" ”

Lü Buwei and Sima Kong looked at each other and suddenly felt happy in their hearts.

Sima Kong said: "Wuhou, this is the scriptures learned by a hundred schools, yesterday, after the prime minister went down to the court, I said that Wuhou proposed to write a book within a month, so that the eldest son could read it, I was only discussing it at the time, how to come, but I didn't have a clue at all, at this time it was Wuhou who mentioned it, I don't know if Wuhou might point out one or two." ”

Lu Buwei and the others also nodded when they heard this.

Lu Buwei frowned, and said: "Sima Kong, this matter was proposed by Wuhou, and Wuhou himself wants to write a book, you are too rude to ask such a straightforward question." ”

Su Zheng smiled secretly.

Quietly, he said: "The prime minister's words are serious, what Mr. Sima said is a loyal word, how can it be faulty, it is Ben Hou's proposal that has brought trouble to the prime minister, since Mr. Sima is mentioned, can you tell Ben Hou what questions he has?" ”

Sima Kong said: "The eldest son said that he wants to learn the learning of a hundred schools, but the learning of a hundred schools of thought is complicated, and there are many refutations between the concepts of each other. ”

Su Zai nodded and said, "There are 3,000 diners under the gate of the city, and there are many well-educated people, hasn't the prime minister found a suitable way?" ”

Lü Buwei said: "The prime minister has ordered the people who can write to write several prologues, and the articles are of varying quality, but there are also several classics in this phase, which do not match the needs of the eldest son." ”

Su Zai said: "Can you let Ben Hou take a look." ”

Lu Buwei nodded, and Sima Kong packed up several documents on the case and handed them to Su Zai.

Su Zheng looked at them one by one.

The heart moved.

Shaking his head, he said: "This person can't write well, it seems to be governing the country, but it's all rhetoric, and some ideas are far away from the common people, which is inconsistent with the politics of my Qin State, Madam, look at it, how is this article written?" ”

Lu Caiwei was stunned, he didn't know how to govern the country, how could Su Zheng let her see it.

However, since Su Zai spoke.

Lu Caiwei didn't dare not do it, so she took Wen Jian in her hand and looked at it.

For a while, I was dizzy, and after half a moment, I blushed and said, "The concubine doesn't understand either." ”

However, in the eyes of Lu Buwei and others, what kind of talent can Su Zheng make Mrs. come to see, naturally Mrs. is also a strange woman who is proficient in classic documents, so this article is really so unbearable.

Lu Caiwei nervously held the document in her hand.

Su Zai said: "Ben Hou only then knew that the original prime minister couldn't make a book, because there were such indiscriminate diners under the door and such indiscriminate people, in the eyes of Ben Hou, it is not difficult for the prime minister to write a book that satisfies the eldest son, and the real reason is because the subordinates are taking the opportunity to sell academics, and they don't know the real difficulties of the prime minister, so they can't help the prime minister to solve it." ”

When Lu Buwei and Sima Kong heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Lü Buwei asked, "How can Wu Hou say this!" ”

Su Zai took the book from Lu Caiwei's hand and said: "What is said in this book, the great sage governs, establishes the law, and the discipline is significant. ”

That is to say, when the holy monarch began to govern the country, he established a legal system, made the discipline more prominent, educated the princes, and bestowed culture, education, and favors, so that they could understand righteousness.

Sima Kong was puzzled: "This is a good statement! ”

Su Zai said: "This statement is indeed good, but Mencius, Zhuang Zhou, and Mo Qu's remarks are all good." ”

Sima Kong suddenly wondered: "This? ”

Su Zai explained: "This is the Legalist remarks, such sayings, in the Shang Dynasty has been spread throughout the country, now, the prime minister wants to write a new doctrine, but take the old and already implemented remarks as a reference, how can he create new ideas, this person knows the prime minister's intentions, but still only writes a family of words, isn't it saying that the prime minister, you were born as a businessman, do not learn and have no skills, and use this old theory to show off, the purpose is naturally to sell and gain power." ”

Sima Kong looked at Su Zheng and said, "What Wuhou means is that this person is plausible. ”

Su Zai nodded: "This person seems to be very talented, and it stands to reason that he should understand what each family says, but the article written to the prime minister is biased towards one domain, do you think such an article meets the needs of the eldest son?" Did he do this, did he consider the prime minister's situation? ”

Sima Kong nodded and looked at Lu Buwei in shock.

Lü Buwei was furious and said, "Who is this? ”

Sima Kong said: "This person came from Chu not long ago, and he said that he was a disciple of Xunzi, called Li Si!" Currently, he is engaged in compilation work in Fuchu. ”

Lü Buwei said angrily: "Have you told him about his true needs? ”

Sima Kong bowed down in horror and said: "I said it, but this person said that Legalism is the foundation of the strength and prosperity of the Qin State, and the rule of the world lies in punishment rather than morality, so there is no need to say anything about a hundred schools." ”

Lu Buwei slapped the table vigorously and said angrily: "Blasting him out for the prime minister, don't step into the prime minister's mansion!" ”

Sima Kong immediately received the order and said: "Go and do it immediately, the prime minister is angry, Wuhou is still here." ”

Su Zai's eyebrows moved wildly, and he said in his heart: "It's really Li Si!" ”

Lu Buwei suppressed his anger and said, "Wuhou smiled!" ”

Su Zai shook his head and said: "The prime minister's move is wise, if there are more virtuous people like Mr. Sima around the prime minister, such things can be easily solved." ”

Sima Kong said: "Thank you Wuhou for telling me, I only listened to what Wuhou said when I was down, such things that bother me and others don't seem to be difficult in Wuhou's eyes, can you ask for advice, and solve your doubts." ”

Su Zai was silent for a moment and looked at Lu Buwei.

Lü Buwei reminded: "Sima Shangshu and Wuhou also have to write books, which are also a hundred schools of learning. ”

Su Zai said with a smile: "The prime minister misunderstood, it's not that Ben Hou didn't say it, but Ben Hou was thinking about it for the prime minister, what kind of book is more suitable for the prime minister, and it can impress the eldest son, and now Ben Hou really thinks about it." ”
