When Han Fei saw this, he couldn't help but think of South Korea again, and there was no comparison between the two!

Han Fei sighed and said to Ji Kang: "Prince, when my master Xunzi traveled to the Qin Kingdom, he once told us about the advantages and disadvantages of the Qin system. But looking at my Yan country, there are the advantages of Qin, and there is no lack of Qin. Therefore, my Yan country should be prosperous! ”

Xunzi served as the sacrificial wine of the school palace three times, and was recognized as a great Confucian.

Mr. Lu Zhonglian, hearing Han Fei's words, his interest increased greatly.

asked Han Fei: "Han Fei, how did your master Xunzi comment on the Qin State, you can tell me, let the prince and us all listen." ”

An Yuan, Tian Guang and the others also pricked up their ears to look at Han Fei, and Ji Kang was also very interested.

When Han Fei saw this, he murmured to everyone.

It turned out that when Xunzi took Li Si, Han Fei and other disciples to travel in Qin, he traveled to many counties and counties in Qin, and finally came to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju came to meet Xunzi.

After Fan Ju saw Xunzi, he asked Xunzi: "Sir, what do you see when you enter Qin?" ”

Xunzi replied to Fan Ju at that time: "The border of the Qin State is steep, the terrain is convenient, the mountains and forests and rivers are beautiful, and the benefits brought by natural resources are many, which is the superiority of the terrain. ”

"Stepping into the borders of the Qin State and observing the customs of the people, the people of the Qin State are simple and honest, the music there is not lewd and despicable, the clothes there are not light and charming, the people are very afraid of the officials and are very obedient, it is really like the people under the rule of the ancient holy kings."

"When it comes to the official mansions of large and small towns, the officials of the Qin State are all very serious and serious, all of them are humble and frugal, generous and prudent, loyal and trustworthy without being careless and sloppy, really like officials under the rule of the ancient holy kings."

"When I came to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, I observed the scholars and doctors of Qin, and found that these scholars and doctors, when they walked out of their own homes, walked into their own yamen; When he walked out of the yamen, he returned to his own home. ”

"These scholars have no private affairs, do not collude with each other, do not form factions, and are outstanding. There is no one who is not wise and honest and honest, and he is really like a scholar under the rule of the ancient holy kings. ”

"Observing the court of the Qin State, when the monarch of the Qin State presided over the court and the government came to an end, he dealt with and decided various political affairs, and there was nothing left. It was as if there was nothing to govern, it was really like the court ruled by the ancient holy kings. ”

"Therefore, the Qin State can now dominate the world, not because of luck, but because of its inevitability. Therefore, the king himself is at ease, but the country is well governed; The decree is concise but detailed; Political affairs are not complicated but effective, which is the highest level of politics. The state of Qin is like this. ”

Mr. Lu Zhonglian, hearing Han Fei say this, frowned slightly, and said to Han Fei:

"Han Fei, in the opinion of your master Xunzi, where are the shortcomings of the Qin State?"

Han Fei looked at everyone and found that Ji Kang was also looking at him with a serious face, so he smiled and said, "How can Qin Guo have no shortcomings?" From the point of view of my division, the shortcomings of the Qin State are very large and fatal. ”

Tian Guang next to him couldn't help it, so he said to Han Fei:

"Lord Han, tell me, what did Mr. Xunzi say about the shortcomings of the Qin State?"

Han Fei continued to everyone:

"My teacher said to Fan Ju: 'Qin's shortcoming is that he did not implement benevolent government'."

"My teacher said: If the Qin State purely advocates morality and appoints sages, it can be called the king of the world; If you take into account both righteousness and profit, and use both sages and cronies, you can dominate the princes. But if these two can't do the same, they will perish, this is the shortcoming of the Qin State. ”

Speaking of this, Han Fei smiled and said to everyone: "When my master talked about the strengths of the Qin State, Qin Xiang Fan Ju was dancing with his eyebrows at that time. But in the end, when it came to the shortcomings of the Qin State, Fan Ju showed displeasure and returned home. ”

"After Fan Ju left, my master said to my disciples and others: Qin will not be far away."

Ji Kang was beside him, pondered for a long time, and had already understood.

What Han Fei said, I'm afraid the latter is the point. Xunzi's opinion of the Qin State, and the final judgment of the shortcomings, I am afraid that it is the basis of his real view.

The front is to point out the strengths of the Qin State, which has the capital to unify the world. The latter is also very euphemistic, expressing Xunzi's belief in the shortcomings of the Qin State, and also expressing Xunzi's disbelief in the long-term Qin State.

And according to the history of Ji Kang's previous life, the fact is just like Xunzi's view, the Qin State quickly unified the world with the strengths cited earlier, and with its shortcomings, after two lifetimes, it quickly perished.

Of course, the eventual demise of the Qin State was caused by many factors. However, after the Qin State unified the world, it did not appease the people, sympathize with the people, and overworked too much, which was also one of the main reasons for the rapid fall of the Qin State.

For example, in order to build a mausoleum for himself, Qin Shi Huang spent 39 years recruiting at least 700,000 young and strong people. After the mausoleum was completed, his son Qin II, in order to keep the secret of the mausoleum, actually buried hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in the mausoleum.

The Qin Dynasty did this, it can be said that the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, and there is really no heavenly reason if it does not perish!

In Ji Kang's view, Xunzi's comment on the Qin State can be said to be an extremely accurate prediction.

And Han Fei said to himself, isn't it a tactful admonition to himself?

Ji Kang came to Han Fei, clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Han Fei and said:

"Lord Han Fei, thank you for your advice, Ji Kang has been taught. Ji Kang knows that he has many shortcomings, and he asks the adults to work hard and give more suggestions in the future. ”

Seeing Ji Kang like this, Han Fei knew that Ji Kang understood his thoughts, and suddenly became in a hurry.

The stuttering problem came again: "Prince...... The prince can't be like this, Han Fei...... Han Fei is ashamed, and he will ...... in the future We will definitely ...... in the future I'll be sure to give more advice. Please...... Please rest assured. ”

After that, he bowed deeply to Ji Kang and returned the salute.

Ji Kang held Han Fei's arms with both hands and said to him: "Lord Han, in the future, you will serve as the cabinet guard of the Secretary Pavilion, and the position is that of the eldest husband, please Lord Han do not shirk." ”

Han Fei looked at Ji Kang's clear gaze, nodded and said, "What the king ordered, how dare you disobey!" ”

Lu Zhonglian, Tian Guang and others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this kind of scene.

Ji Kang first looked up at the endless fields in the distance, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the mountains and rivers of my Yan Kingdom are as magnificent as the Qin Kingdom; The rivers of my Yan country are far better than those of Qin, and the land is more fertile than Qin. ”

Looking at the many people who were working hard in the fields, and raising his right hand, Ji Kang pointed at the many people and said, "My lords, the people of my Yan Kingdom are simple and thick, and they are not inferior to the Qin Kingdom. ”

looked at An Yuan again and said, "The officials of my Yan State are better than the officials of the Qin State. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Kang said loudly: "I am from the top and bottom of the Yan Kingdom, sympathetic to the people, and the tax is the lowest compared with the Central Plains countries, and it is more benevolent than the Qin State. This Yan country belongs to me, Ji Kang, and you too, but it also belongs to these many hard-working people. ”

Everyone hugged their fists and bowed, bowing deeply to Ji Kang from the bottom of their hearts.

A spring breeze blew, and the sound of the labor of the people in the city was heard.
