On June 20, the 38th year of Qin Shi Huang, after sending people to protect his back road, Heifu had already led a large army and arrived at Shangluo (Shang County, Shaanxi).

Shang Yu is the so-called "Shang Yu Land", in order to be on the source of Luoshui, also known as Shang Yu, originally the land of the Jin State, the beginning of the Warring States belonged to Wei, and later Chu, Wei fought in the Yan Mountain, Wei in order to win over the Qin State, Xu Qin above the Ru. Therefore, Qin occupied this place for more than 100 years, and Qin Xiaogong was sealed in this place, so he became the king of Shang.

When he came here, he could be regarded as entering Qin, but Shangluo did not have the general wealth of Qinchuan, and it was a famous poor county in later generations. The reason for poverty is mostly limited by the terrain, as the so-called "poor mountains and bad water black stones, eight mountains, one water and one field", the east can see the Bear's Ears Mountain, the west is the Qinling Mountains, the two mountains are sandwiched, only a narrow basin on both sides of the Danshui can accommodate people's habitation.

Poor is a little poor, but the location is very important, and later generations have poems: high on the top of this mountain, there are only clouds and smoke in all directions. There is a road under it, leading to Chu and Qin. It is really simple and clear to describe Shangluo.

At this time, Heifu insisted on playing the banner of the Qin Dynasty before, and the effect of not setting up another door began to appear.

"No matter how bad it is, it's the Qin army, if Shangyu doesn't resist, can he still slaughter the city?"

Heifu's deeds in Wuguan were blown to the core, and after the defeat of the army, it was impossible to resist.

After a while, there was a knock on the door in some alleys, and the Shangluo people asked tremblingly, but when they opened it, they found that it was their own family who was ordered by the second emperor to recruit the children of Wuguan to defend against the enemy, and they thought they were captured and killed, but now they were standing intact in front of them......

This was the first thing Heifu did in Shangdi, to let all the captives of Shangluo and his native country be released, let them go home, and rely on them to promote the policy of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Although the local people were still skeptical, at least there was no more situation where they fled into the mountains when they heard of the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The second thing is that I heard that in the Shangluo cell, there are four doctors who were arrested for wanting to go out of the customs, namely Tang Bing, Zhou Shu, Wu Shi and Cui Guang, who were originally doctors of Qin Shi Huang, but fled here after the Fusu incident and were detained by the government, and it has been more than two years now.

"Which school of thought are these four people from?" Heifu asked the royal literati uncle Sun Tong.

"It's Huang Lao."

Although he was a little reluctant, Shusun Tong still told the deeds of the four people truthfully: "The four of them are known as Luli, Dongyuan Gong, Qili Ji, and Xia Huanggong, and most of them are from Kanto Qi, learning the art of Huang Lao. ”

Different from the dead monks and the Confucian scholars who jumped up and down, during the period of Qin Shi Huang, although Huang Lao was also forcibly recruited into the doctorate, but this group of people are more Buddhist, they can not fight, let alone force them, seeing that Qin Shi Huang just used the doctor as a decorative decoration, so he kept silent.

"Pardon the four." Heifu smiled: "Since the chaos has been set right, the doctors who were in distress in the past should also return to their places." ”

But this time he was bored with himself, and several Huang Lao in the cell actually rejected Heifu's expedition and sent back a poem:

"Momo high mountains, deep valleys.

Ye Ye Zizhi can cure hunger.

Tang Yu Shiyuan, where will I go?

The horses are high, and they are very worried.

The fear of wealth is not as good as the wanton ambition of poverty. ”

Uncle Sun Tong was overjoyed in his heart, and after reading it, he scolded: "This group of old Huang disciples are so ignorant of good and bad, the prince and the marquis, they want to follow the example of Boyi Shuqi, knowing that the king of Zhou is tyrannical and the king of martial arts is benevolent, but they have to keep festivals for business, and they don't eat Zhou Su!" ”

Some of the generals also angrily begged Hafu to slaughter the four old fellows and feed them to the dogs.

Heifu didn't think it was wrong: "Hu Hai just imprisoned him and didn't kill him, if I kill him, won't I tell the people of Guanzhong that my heart is narrower than Hu Hai?" Everyone has their own aspirations, send some plates and wrap food, and let them go. ”

The third thing is to go to the local "Xun Temple" to worship Shang Ying.

When he came to the east of Shangxian County, he looked up at the Xun Temple where the incense was still burning, and Heifu said angrily:

"Twelve years ago, when I passed through this place on my way to Xianyang, I wanted to find the tomb of Shangjun to worship, but I found nothing, and I couldn't find the temple of Shangjun."

It seems that after Shang Ying was torn apart, it was true that the Qin people were not pitied, and this was also the fate of most reformers.

Or Heifu proposed to Qin Shi Huang to build temples for people who have made great contributions to Qin, such as Shang Ying, Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, etc., in order to show their merits, so temples suddenly rose in various places, and after more than 100 years, Shang Ying's spiritual position returned to the Shang land.

But just before Heifu entered the temple, a person stopped in front of him and said to Heifu: "The ministers think that the prince should not worship this temple, but should destroy it!" ”

……

Heifu fixed his eyes on it, but after he seized Nanyang some time ago, he held a bunch of privately collected books such as "Shangshu" and came to seek refuge in the Confucian scholar Fusheng of Shusun Tong.

Heifu glanced at Fu Sheng: "Why should it be destroyed?" ”

Fu Sheng ignored his uncle and grandson Tong and winked at him, and said solemnly:

"The minister thought that the defeat of Qin Zheng began with Shang Ying!"

"Shang Ying abandons etiquette, abandons benevolence, and is enterprising. In the past two years, the Qin customs have been declining, so the rich sons of the Qin family will live in separate fields, and the poor and strong families can only make a profit, so that the clan will be separated and people will have no family affection. What the minister saw in the past in the pass was that the son borrowed his father's help, and he was unhappy; The mother borrowed her broom and did not return, and the children spat on it. The woman took her young son in her arms, and her breasts were exposed, but she was not ashamed, and sat openly with her father-in-law. If the woman and aunt don't say anything, they will turn their lips and ridicule each other...... This Qin custom is also bad. ”

"Going to the spell and abandoning the etiquette is like abandoning the original and chasing the end, how can there be no reason?"

The military Zheng next to Heifu was unhappy, and ridiculed Fu Sheng: "You Confucian scholar Hugh is talking nonsense, which county doesn't have these fathers, sons, women and aunts quarreling?" Human nature is like this, how can it be all blamed on Qin's legal decree? In my opinion, filial piety and public use of the law of business, change customs, the people to prosper, the country to be rich and strong, the people are happy to use, so abandon the etiquette of Qin, but annex those still etiquette of the six countries! ”

Fu Sheng retorted: "When the Qin people go together, they can still coerce the six countries and annex the world. However, after the success, because he did not know the thickness of cultivation of benevolence and righteousness, blindly believed in the method of annexation, and blindly continued to forge ahead, and finally made the world defeated. ”

"Therefore, I think that the Marquis of Wuzhong should set things right and destroy the temple of Shang Yang to show that there is no need for criminal law!"

The two quarreled endlessly, but Heifu pointed to Xun Miaodao:

"I built this temple on my initiative."

"Destroying it again today, isn't it a reversal and a self-defeating face?"

"What's more, the Dharma is also the ritual of the world. Therefore, if you are in doubt and know right from wrong, the people have the order, according to your opinion, if you do not rule the country by law, how should you govern the country? ”

Fu Sheng raised his head and said loudly: "Rule the country with virtue!" ”

"Following the government of Zhou Gong, Mingde is prudent in punishment, and politics is virtuous, as for the law, a few chapters are enough......"

Heifu smiled.

Confucianism is like this, always thinking that filial piety can solve all the problems of society, but simplifying complex problems will only breed more trouble.

It's like a new carpenter who doesn't know how to use rules and rules, so he blames them for being bad and scribbles them when they are discarded.

Such graffiti on the building of beams and pillars will inevitably collapse, as will the state apparatus, which is the most complex invention of mankind.

Xianyang has not yet entered, and in Heifu's forces, for how to govern the country in the future, the two Confucianists and Fa have already sharpened their knives and tried to exert influence on Heifu, and this battle is probably no less intense than the next Lantian War.

Look at the Confucian with a red face and a thick neck, the official who always has a straight face, and then think about the four old doctors Huang who are unwilling to be officials and would rather live in seclusion and autism, these three families are mixed together, it is really fun.

So Heifu said: "There is some truth in your words, it should be used in both law and morality, and in addition to revising the law, etiquette and weathering should also be promoted, but the law is the foundation of politics and religion, and etiquette is for politics and religion. ”

After saying that, he resolutely entered the temple and made a big salute to Shang Ying's spiritual position, leaving only the uncle and grandson outside to pull Fu Sheng, who still wanted to persuade again, and sighed:

"Fu Sheng, you, you're still in too much of a hurry!"

Fu Sheng muttered: "I can't watch the prince repeat the mistakes of Qin Shi Huangdi, I hope that there will be a new deal that is different from the past." ”

Shusun Tong shook his head: "Don't worry about this, the prince has the appearance of a benevolent monarch, and he has the mind to accommodate all the sons and hundreds of schools, which is definitely different from Qin Shi Huang." ”

But the prince has always thought that Confucianism is difficult and enterprising, but it can be kept. What we have to do now is to try our best to occupy a corner of the court in the future, and not to end up in a situation where Qin Shi Huang was speechless, as for who is the main one in law and Confucianism, but according to what the prince wants, how can you and I decide in a few words! And again......"

He was very self-aware: "You and I and all the other Confucian students combined, the weight of words can't catch up with Lu Jia alone." Before Lu Jiashang entered Xianyang, he only supplemented him with the technique of lobbying for short and long lengths, and rarely mentioned Confucianism, let alone us! ”

……

The purpose of the sacrifice was to tell the Qin officials that the Northern Expeditionary Army would not wantonly change the legal order of the past, that the release of prisoners was a gesture of goodwill to the common people, and that the pardon of prisoners was to reassure opponents who stood on the opposite side of the former regime.

After Heifu did these three things in Shangluo, he basically made all strata of the fifteen towns of Shangyu, from Qin officials, ordinary people to prisoners, no longer have fear of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After stabilizing the bridgehead, it was almost time to enter the pass on the Han Xin line, so Heifu used Shanglu as a base, and the army continued to enter the pass.

Yaoguan is the last barrier leading to the Guanzhong Plain in the land of Shangyu, but its danger is far less than that of Wuguan and Hangu.

After Wang Li was defeated and retreated from Wuguan, he lost his troops all the way, but in the end, he returned to Yaoguan with more than 80,000 people, and joined more than 10,000 guards stationed here, and pieced together 100,000 soldiers.

There were only 90,000 people on Heifu's side, but he asked Dongmen Leopard to dig an extra 50,000 stoves in the Shangluo camp, and sent people to plant flags on the hills near Yaoguan, creating a huge momentum, claiming to be an army of 200,000......

And the news of the defeat of Wuguan has also reached Xianyang, and there is a dead silence in the Wangyi Palace at this time.

"The black thieves have entered the Wuguan, and it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass, and they can't do anything about it."

The wise and martial second emperor was completely panicked, he didn't expect that the Wuguan that was blown by Wang Li as "impregnable as Taihua" was lost in only two days, and what was even more frightening was that there were various visions such as meteors and fire crows, and the earth moving and the wall collapsing......

He felt extremely aggrieved: "Father, father, my son is obviously succeeded to the throne by edict, why did he send a vision from heaven?" ”

"Or, that black man, did he really learn demon magic in the land of Chu Yue?"

Hu Hai was already thinking about asking a sorcerer to break it, didn't his ancestor King Qin Huiwen carve a curse on the stone drum and let the three gods and witches bless Great Qin to repel the Chu State......

It's a pity that the black dog in Guanzhong was slaughtered, but I don't know if it's too late to start collecting the boy's urine now.

Fortunately, the Qin court has not yet fallen into the absurd situation of letting the sorcerer go to the city wall to lead the sky and thunder to resist the enemy, and the right-hand prime minister Li Si with a righteous face came out of the ranks and offered a plan:

"Your Majesty, the black thieves have entered the customs, and the soldiers are very strong, and the soldiers in the customs have been exhausted, and I am afraid it will be too late to levy them again."

"However, there are hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Lishan, and if you don't pardon them under the edict, you will go to Lantian and give armor soldiers to fight thieves!"
