In mid-July, the autumn tigers are menacing, and even Northland County is a little hot.

In the afternoon when Xiu Mu was at home, Ye, who was pregnant for four months, took a nap on the couch, and since she was pregnant, she became very thirsty and sleepy.

Heifu sat aside, holding a fan to cool his wife, and holding a book and reading it with relish.

Reading, this is Heifu's new hobby for two years, in the past, he was humble, busy with pommel horses, and had no time, and only after he became an official in Guanzhong did he have the conditions.

This is the benefit of being friends with Xueba, what do you want to see, inform Zhang Cang, and the librarian will ask the pencil to copy the words on the old slips on the paper and send them to Heifu.

As far as Heifu knew, Zhang Cang had been busy copying the books of the Six Kingdoms in the stone room onto paper for the past six months. Since the invention of hemp paper and leather paper, not only is it convenient for government documents to come and go, but also knowledge has become easier to disseminate.

In the past, the amount of knowledge of "learning rich five cars" can now be loaded in a box of paper books.

Heifu secretly thought that if he rushed to burn the books, and then let the craftsmen drum up the engraving printing technology and hand it over to Zhang Cang, no matter how big the fire was, I am afraid that it would not be able to burn the world's private collections......

It was too early for this matter, he glanced at his wife who was sleeping peacefully, her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were very long, so he smiled, and continued to look at the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography" in his hand, and gently read out the above sentence.

"If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different......

Although Heifu did not like Dr. Confucianism, he had no prejudice against poetry and books, and even tried to emulate Guan Gong and read "Spring and Autumn", but Confucius's books were really simple and obscure, and he was not interested in those small words.

It was Zhang Cang who told him that when reading the Spring and Autumn Period, he had to read the three passes, and according to Heifu's preferences, Zhang Cang recommended the "Left Biography" with the strongest story and historical facts to Heifu.

After seeing it, Heifu immediately felt that he benefited a lot.

For example, the sentence "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", was often used on certain occasions for certain things in later generations, but it was originally said by the people of Lu and Chu......

It turned out that the context of the whole thing was that the Spring and Autumn Jin and Chu were competing for hegemony, and the Lu State was in the gap between the two hegemons, Lu Chenggong went to the court to see Jin Jinggong, and was treated rudely, but he was angry, and planned to take refuge in the Chu State, his courtier Ji Wenzi admonished: "People who are not of the same race are bound to not be of the same heart, although the Chu State is large, it is not the same clan as the surname Ji, and it is unreliable." ”

This clan has a very narrow meaning, and it is actually a clan with a different surname, not a national clan. Earlier, Xia, Shang, and Zhou were not of the same race, and even within the Lu Kingdom, the Chinese masters from the West and the local Dongyi Savages were also distinct from each other.

From clans to nations, China has experienced thousands of years, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the national field gradually disappeared, and only then did "Zhuxia", the predecessor of the Han people, appear.

However, some of the examples that Heifu saw from this "Zuo Biography" really show that the "Zhuxia" of the Central Plains at that time clearly excluded the Chu State, and the Chu people often regarded themselves as barbarians.

For example, several monarchs of the Chu State often said generously, "I am a barbarian", and later generations said when tracing the hegemony of Qi Huan, "Nanyi and Beidi are in exchange, and China is endless." Duke Huan saved China and killed Jing, taking this as the king's business. ”

This has nothing to do with blood, but is a regional and political point of view, although Chu is after Zhuan and Zhurong, but it has been isolated in the south for a long time, rice and soup and fish, and it is common for the princes surnamed Ji, Jiang and Zi to be discriminated against by the princes of the Central Plains. Even the descendants of the surname Ji, the proper fellow Wu Wang of the Lu State, were also scolded by the Central Plains as a barbarian beast because of his lifestyle, abandoned the ritual music, and changed to speak the Yi language, shaved a short hair, covered with dragon and snake tattoos, and Wu Wangfucha, who was more like the image of the Thais in later generations, did not care, and called himself "I have a tattoo, not enough to blame".

Even the State of Qin, because of the long-term alliance with Chu, was "expelled" from Zhuxia by the Jin State several times, and did not join the alliance......

With the passage of time into the Warring States period, as exchanges became more frequent, the circle of Zhuxia began to expand, and it was no longer the narrow Jijiang princes, but spread to the whole of Kyushu.

Although there are differences between the seven heroes, after hundreds of years of exchanges, they have met the elements of the same nation of "common language, common region, common economic life, and common psychological quality", and the "Seven Kingdoms with Crown" has become a common name to distinguish it from Rong Di, who has a very different life and language.

If anyone repeats the same old tune like the regional Black Mencius, saying that Chu is a barbarian, the Chu people will throw out a large number of beautiful lacquer silk paintings, Qu Yuan's resignations, and Chu Jian's Confucian scriptures to slap him in the face......

However, at this time, because of the strength of the Qin State, it repeatedly invaded and violently invaded the Six Kingdoms, which made the Six Kingdoms full of hostility towards Qin, and still regarded the Qin people as "the same as Rong Di".

Qin played the role of Chu Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although Qin now dominates the sea, it has to admit that the boundary between "Qin people" and "princes" is still there, and most of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms know that they are Zhao people and Chu people, but they don't know that they are people from Zhuxia, and they will not regard the Qin officials who came to the local area to take office and defend them as their own people.

In order to change this situation, Qin Shi Huang has subconsciously done some things, the same track, the same book, and the same text, merging the mountains and rivers of the world to sacrifice, but to merge the divided seven countries into one country, and the people of the seven countries into one "nation" in the true sense, it is not something that one or two generations can do.

"In addition to hard and fast administrative regulations, there is also a need for something subtle." Heifu closed the book and thought to himself.

After reading half of the Zuo Biography, Heifu felt that the factor that prompted the formation of "Zhuxia" was the persecution of the Southern Yi and Northern Di Jiao, and the agricultural settlers had to unite.

In history, the real formation of the "Han people" is probably also related to the frequent wars between the Xiongnu and the Wuhu in the Han and Jin dynasties.

Only then can we understand the boundaries between "them" and "us", and can we regard the people around us as a race.

But that way is too passive, can it be actively united?

The "Jingbian Temple" proposed by Heifu a few days ago may be able to play such a role.

In Heifu's design, the "Jingbian Temple" is a public ancestral hall opened by the government, which worships the Zhuxia people who have made outstanding contributions to resisting the invasion of Rong Di and expanding the territory for thousands of years!

They are not confined to the country, do not worship the monarch, do not follow the merits of the civil war, but only look at their contributions to the humiliation and opening the border......

He also drew up a list of lists for Qin Shi Huang to choose from.

The first place is Guan Zhong!

Why?

The first to carry the banner of "respecting the king and conquering the king" was Guan Zhong.

Uniting Zhuxia, it was Guan Zhong who successfully withstood the wave of "invasion between Nanyi and Beirong".

Confucius once said: "Microtubule Zhong, I am sent to the left!" He spoke very highly of it, and said that "the princes of Huan Gong Jiuhe, not with military vehicles, the power of Guan Zhong is also", this meaning is obvious, no matter who is in power, whether it is Xiaobai or Xiaohei, as long as he can reuse Guan Zhong, he can create the hegemony of Qi Huangong!

Huan Gong often has, and Guan Zhong is the only one.

After that, according to the chronology, it was Yuyu's turn. Yu was originally a Jin person, exiled to Rongdi, and later returned to Qin Mugong and gave advice for it. He helped Mu Gong to attack Xirong, annexed the twelve, opened thousands of miles, and dominated Xirong, although it is not well known in history, but it is important to Qin.

Another candidate related to Qin is Sima Cuo, Sima Cuo tried his best to oppose Zhang Yi's proposal, put forward the strategy of merging Bashu first, and personally led the troops to destroy Shu and destroy Ba, and merge these two "chiefs of Rong Zhai" into Qin.

In addition, there are Yan Zhi Qin Kai and Zhao Zhi Li Mu, who defeated Donghu and Xiongnu respectively and opened up thousands of miles, and their deeds do not need to be repeated.

The list in Heifu's mind, for the time being, is only these five people, and there are not many people, if any merit can be entered into the shrine, then this Jingbian Temple is too worthless.

The Jingbian Temple located in various places, its main and secondary are different, such as the Jingbian Temple in Guanzhong, which is mainly sacrificed by Yu, and the rest are accompanied; those who are on the ground are mainly sacrificial Guan Zhong; Bashu's, Sima is the main one; Daibei, Liaodong, and Li Mu and Qin Kai are the mainstays.

For the Jingbian Temple, the county government should worship at four o'clock, and through the stories of the merits of the five people, the concept of "Huaxia" and "Zhuxia" was widely promoted to the local Qiantou.

Heifu also plans that the Loyal Cemetery and the Jingbian Temple will be combined to become the "patriotic education base" of Daqin!

One is limited to the old counties of the Qin State to enhance the pride of the Qin people in being a soldier, and the other is spread to the whole world, promoting the concept of "the people of the crown belt are the same family". The disciples in the school room should also be on the Qingming Festival...... It seems that there is no Qingming Festival in this era, so when it is changed to the Cold Food Festival, let the teacher organize the students to sacrifice flowers and sweep, and the national consciousness should start from the doll......

It is a very visual picture, which Hefu jokingly refers to as the "united front".

Just yesterday, Qin Shi Huang's reply also arrived, two words: "Great goodness!" By the way, he gave Hefu a lot of gold silk.

Heifu fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and said secretly: "If the three magic weapons of the united front, the military merit system, and the construction of the law can be persisted, the future is really unpredictable." ”

He fell into imagination, and the fan in his hand woke his wife up with a force.

Ye Zijin had actually woken up for a while, watching Heifu dancing there, she couldn't help laughing, she knew that her husband would be inexplicably excited after he wanted to get into things.

But then, Ye frowned again.

"The beloved is a meat eater, seeking for the country, while the concubine is a woman, and her vision is not so long-term, and what she is staring at is only within the size."

She said something to Heifu, something she had been vaguely worried about since Heifu sent his reply to Qin Shi Huang.

"Your Majesty's suggestion is a good thing, but there must be a mistake in a hundred considerations, the concubine has been thinking about it for a long time recently, and I feel that there is still something wrong with the matter of Jingbian Temple."

"What's wrong?"

Heifu is strange, not only has he won the emperor's appreciation, but he has not offended Li Si and Meng Tian, and someone's little trick has not succeeded, isn't it perfect?

Ye Zijin said: "Since the beloved married a concubine, repeatedly suggested national policies, was appreciated by His Majesty, and became a feudal official, Li Tingwei, I'm afraid he will no longer be able to regard his beloved as a subordinate promoted by his father and son?" ”

Indeed, Heifu can no longer be regarded as the "Li Si Party", but the "Ye Teng Party", and in the treacherous court, collaborators and competitors are only subtle differences......

Ye Zijin felt that if she thought about it empathically, if she was Li Si, such a dazzling performance of Heifu would also give birth to a sense of "terrible afterlife", especially when Heifu has taken the lead recently.

She lowered her voice and kindly reminded: "Ting Wei and Men Han Fei can be killed, he has never been a broad-minded person!" ”
