Chapter 108: Sharp confrontation in the political affairs hall
Gan Long, with his long-standing keen sense of smell, has completely seen this, and absolutely does not believe that Wei Ying will always be a guest.
This made Gan Long feel a kind of desolation, a kind of humiliation of being abandoned. Because this kind of promotion and demotion was made without his knowledge.
As far as his heart is concerned, if the king consults with him sincerely, what does it matter if he resigns from the old man?
Besides, he didn't even know anything about the plan to change the law, did the monarch think that he didn't support the change? Although Gan Long is a Confucian, he is also an old minister of Qin, how can he not want Qin to be strong?
This stimulated Gan Long even more than the previous one.
A Taishi who has no real power, plus any major political decisions can't be predicted in advance, isn't it really a decoration?
Although sad and humiliating, Ganlong has been through ups and downs for a long time after all, and he is extremely old.
He knew in his heart that if a strong wind rose head-on, it would inevitably be completely engulfed. At this time, the long grass is the best means of survival to avoid ruin. However, you can't be indifferent and reveal your inner dissatisfaction, you must be moderate, you still have to speak when you should speak, and you are completely unaware of your own promotion and debasement, which is superior.
Seeing that no one spoke, Gan Long felt that it was an opportunity for him, the Taishi, who didn't care about everything and could discuss everything.
"Dare to invite the guest secretary and announce the strategy of changing the law first, is it okay?" Gan Long only has this sentence.
However, this sentence turned passivity into initiative, and also eased the subtle stiff atmosphere in the political affairs hall.
Qin Xiaogong glanced at Wei Ying and nodded slightly.
Wei Ying bowed his hand to the audience and said: "Your Excellency, the lord, the Qin State is poor and weak, and the world knows it. If you want to get a strong Qin, you must change the law, and there is no other way to give up. The strategy of the Qin State to change the law is: reward agriculture to enrich the country, reward military merits to strengthen the army, unify the governance of the government to correct the officials, and change customs to gather the people. Under each of these four items, there are a number of laws to ensure their implementation. Do you think so? ”
The crown prince Fu Gongsun Jia was very clear about Gan Long's mood and countermeasures and the situation in the field, and when he saw Wei Ying finish speaking, he asked: "I don't know the disadvantages of the old law, and it is difficult to change the law." Dare to ask Keqing, what are the disadvantages of the traditional legal system of Qin? ”
This question was in the middle of Wei Ying's arms, and he said without thinking: "The old system of the Qin State has three disadvantages. First, based on the royal road, mixed with fragmented new policies, the people are unable to adapt. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Qin slightly modified the royal road of the Zhou family etiquette system and ruled the people. Mu Gongshi ruled the country with a hundred miles of Xi, practiced the rule of virtue, and introduced a number of laws and regulations of the old Chu State. Qin Jiangong implemented the new policy of 'initial rent' and abandoned the old system, but time was running out, and the old system was restored. Xiangong ascended the throne and wanted to carry out a new policy, but the war broke out one after another, and there was no time to care. To this day, the Qin State is still the old system of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is a big gap between it and the new law of the Warring States Period. This old system can only govern the people in a world of small disputes, but cannot strengthen the country in a world of big disputes. ”
"That's weird!" The new Taimiao Ling Du Zhi patted the wooden case in front of him, and said angrily: "If the disadvantages of Qin Law are like this, how can Baili Xi help Mu Gong dominate the princes?" ”
Wei Ying was very calm, "Baili Xi ruled Qin, thanks to the power of a sage, and it was impossible to make the regulations comply with for future generations." This is the rule of man, not the rule of law. After Mu Gong Baili Xi, the Qin State fell into four generations of chaos and became a weak country. May I ask the Taimiao Order, if Baili Xi has a law to abide by, why can't the Qin State revitalize Mu Gong's hegemony for more than a hundred years, but instead lose all the land west of the river and retreat from Hangu Pass to Liyang? These words were difficult and sharp, and they did not hesitate to accuse the Qin courtiers of Qin Mugong and Baili Xi, who were regarded as sacred, but the reasoning was dignified, and although the ministers of the political affairs hall were angry and embarrassed, they were speechless. Du Zhi was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"What about the second drawback? Dare to ask for high opinions. Gongsun Jia asked with a leisurely smile.
Wei Ying said: "The second drawback of the old system of the Qin State is that there is no key to the law, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. The clan is not punished, and the common people are not rewarded for their merits. The peasants are still poor after farming, and the sergeants are still unknighted after their meritorious battles. How to promote the righteousness of courageously serving the country? ”
"Smack!" One person took the case, and everyone looked at it, but it was the right general of Rong in the west arc.
He said angrily: "Keqing is talking nonsense! How did the Qin State not be rewarded? Regardless of the civil servants here, just talking about military generals, which one is not a general with a sword and a sword? If the merit is not rewarded, can a knight in the Jing Prison make a long history in history? Che Ying, a thousand-commander, can be a guard lieutenant and a general of Liyang? ”
Qin Feng's eyes were cold, and a murderous aura approached the western arc, but Qin Feng immediately felt Qin Xiaogong's gaze, and when he looked back, Qin Xiaogong shook his head slightly. Only then did Qin Feng restrain his murderous aura.
"Yes!" The pedestrian Meng Kun stood up and said excitedly: "In the eyes of Weichen, it is not that there is no reward for merit, but that there is a reward for no merit!" Wang Shi had no size to work, and actually replaced the battle-accomplished General Zi'an and made the Liyang Order. What are the merits of the recruiters? They all made the county order and the county guard! That Qin Feng saved Xianjun, let's not talk about it for the time being, but that credit will never be exchanged for a position of Shangqing! ”
"Also, what credit do you have for defending the martingale? Worshiped the guest secretary, sent official servants, and even sat side by side with the Taishi? What is the reason for slandering the Qin State in vain? "This is directly aimed at Wei Ying, it is the general of the right car Bai Jin.
The atmosphere in the political hall suddenly became tense, and it was completely detached from the main topic, and the spearhead was aimed at Wei Ying and even Qin Xiaogong since the promulgation of the "Seeking Meritorious Order".
Ganlong Gongsun Jia was silent. Du Zhi couldn't help but smile.
After "Meng Xibai" was a hero, the prominent military family of the Qin State, the three of them set off together, which was extraordinary.
Qin Xiaogong was silent, and did not show any joy or anger at the sudden attack of Meng Xibai and the others.
However, the corners of Zuo Chang Yingqian's mouth twitched, obviously angry.
Jing Jian saw that Xi Arc was openly using himself and Che Ying as a shield, and he was indignant in his heart, but he also knew that it was not his time to speak, so he stared at Wei Ying intently, for fear that he would be speechless.
Qin Feng also frowned slightly, and his body was full of murderous aura.
The most nervous is the new Liyang Ling Wang Shi, who saw this kind of fierce and sharp court battle for the first time, especially when he himself became an arrow target, and his forehead couldn't help but ooze fine sweat.
Just when the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty converged on Wei Ying, Wei Ying suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, stood up from his seat and said loudly: "What Wei Ying talked about is the drawbacks of the old system of the Qin State. National laws and regulations must be complied with as one, and only then can the legal system be fair. It is precisely because of the meritorious service of the descendants of the descendants of the family that it seems absurd that the peasants are rewarded for their merits and the soldiers are meritorious but not knighted. How can the meritorious service of the people be rewarded with the same as the reward of the common people? Isn't it ridiculous that the three people compare the benefits of the world with the harm of the common people, and compare the gains of the world with the losses of the common people? This kind of statement, turning a blind eye to the shortcomings of the old system of the Qin State, is it tantamount to covering one's ears and stealing the bell? If Meng Xibai can say that the common people have meritorious service and receive a reward, Wei Ying will naturally obey. This is one of them. ”
Wei Ying's words changed, "As for saying that Wei Ying and others are useless, it is a big mistake. The samurai killed the enemy in front of the battle, and the scribes also contributed to the planning and governance of the country. The world is public, and the state officials are knighted, and only those who have merit live in it. Qin Gong's "Seeking Talents" Zhao Ming, sharing the Qin State with the people of Qin, how can the little guest be enough? "The words are strict, frank and spicy. The political hall was solemn, and Meng Xibai's faces were flushed.
Gongsun Jia didn't seem to hear the round of the contest, and asked calmly: "Dare to ask Keqing, what is the third disadvantage of the legal system of the Qin State?" ”
Wei Ying also didn't seem to have had a debate, "The old system of the Qin State has no power to gather the people and no threat to deter chaos, which is the third drawback." What is the threat of gathering people to deter chaos? The laws and regulations are unified, the orders are prohibited, the guilty are severely punished, the meritorious service is rewarded, and the justice is strict. In this way, the officials are not greedy, the common people are selfless, the country rises and falls, the husband is responsible, everyone bravely makes meritorious contributions, everyone avoids crime and seeks rewards, and the government and the opposition form a heroic and righteous atmosphere, then the country is not angry and self-authoritative. The Qin people are thick and tenacious, and if the vitality is cultivated, it will definitely be great in the world! ”
"Good!" Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian shot the case, "Mr.'s words, the ambition of the great Qin people!" When Emperor Shun gave me the ancestor of the Ying family, he predicted that the Ying family would be great in the world. I don't want to be told by Mr. after a thousand years, it's a great good omen! The Qin State is strong, and it will definitely be in the hands of Mr. What do you think? ”
"Good——! Good signs! When the words fell, the political hall was filled with passionate shouts.
This sentence of Wei Ying is a long-standing tribal myth that has been circulated among the old Qin people.
It is said that the ancestors of Yingqin and Dayu jointly controlled the water, and Emperor Shun solemnly gave the Ying clan a soap tour, and predicted that "the Er clan will be out of the world." ”
For many years, this story has been passed down from generation to generation among the Yingqin tribes, and everyone firmly believes that Emperor Shun's prophecy will one day come true!
The phrase "out of the world" is almost a mysterious oath of mutual encouragement by the old Qin people, and together with the sentence "Serve the old Qin and go to the national disaster together", it constitutes the spiritual pillar and dedication tradition of the Qin people.
As soon as Wei Ying's words came out, Zuo Shu Changying's devout thoughts flashed, and he immediately gave birth to it from a sacred oath and a mysterious revelation, who can not feel excited? Who can not echo the spirit of the ancient tribe?
The peak turned around, Qin Xiaogong didn't expect such a sudden change, and he actually integrated the fierce confrontation into a heroic and long-lasting oath in an instant, and couldn't help whispering to himself, "Providence also." ”
After thinking about it carefully, he smiled again: "Such an auspicious omen, I should celebrate." However, it is out of the world, and it must be done step by step. The plan for changing the law just mentioned by Keqing still needs to be carefully considered. ”
Seeing that there was silence for another moment, Qin Xiaogong looked at Gan Long and said with a smile: "Today's court meeting, I have not discussed with the Taishi and the ministers in advance, in order to discuss together. I don't know what the master thinks of the plan to change the law? ”
Seeing the monarch's euphemistic explanation, Gan Long felt a little comfortable in his heart, and he said very heavily: "It's a big deal to change the law. If it becomes bad, the country will have no peace. The greater the change, the more conflicts of interest there are. In terms of the current situation of the Qin State, it is still possible to change the law. Once the law is changed, the government and the opposition will be turbulent, and if there is a war, I am afraid that there will be a danger of losing the country. Moreover, the sages govern the country, the law should be quiet and not changeable, and the people's customs should be ancient rather than modern. Sticking to the old system is the way to stability, officials are familiar with the old rules, and the people are at ease with the old habits. This is the way of eternity. Don't seek self-peace but self-chaos, the old minister really doesn't understand the meaning of the guest. ”
