Chapter 190: The Golden Mean
Lu Xian lost, and he lost under his own tricks, which can be described as extremely humiliating.
He was put on his seat, and Wei Bao mocked: "It's a shame, you lost in your own tricks, what Tianyuan swordsmanship is nothing more than that." ”
These words were just the words that Lu Xian mocked himself before, but now he has fallen into defeat and is ridiculed, Lu Xian's face is complicated, but he has nothing to say.
Lu Xian looked at Wei Bao angrily, there was fire in his eyes, he didn't speak, and then turned to Meng Yi, and wondered in his heart: "Meng Yi...... What is sacred? How can you actually use Tianyuan swordsmanship? ”
After winning another round, the First Emperor was also puzzled and asked, "Meng Yi, how can you know the Tianyuan Sword Technique?" Do you know Lu Xian's master? ”
The First Emperor had this question, and expressed the doubts of many people, not only the Tianyuan swordsmanship, but also Wei Bao's hegemony, the two of them had no connection, and it was impossible for the two of them to have their own tricks.
Meng Yi said respectfully: "No, no, Weichen doesn't know his master." ”
"Then why do you know his swordsmanship?"
Meng Yi said with a smile: "Of course, this is thanks to Master Lu Xian, if he hadn't demonstrated the Tianyuan Sword Technique to me, I wouldn't have learned it." ”
"You...... After reading it once, it ...... Learned. The First Emperor asked in surprise, he was not the only one who was surprised, and many people were a little incredible.
"Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case."
He actually learned it after watching it once? Won't it blow too well?! Could it be that he is the so-called martial arts wizard?!
His words have attracted a lot of discussions, all of which are talking about Meng Yi's ability to never forget.
The First Emperor didn't doubt his words, knowing that Meng Yi was a person, although this kid was a little slippery, but he couldn't lie, let alone talk nonsense.
"What a ability to never forget, I really underestimate you." The First Emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
……
Next, several more people challenged Meng Yi, but they were all defeated by Meng Yi with his own skills, Meng Yi proved himself with practical actions and beat those who questioned him.
In this first round of martial arts, Meng Yi obviously won.
The results were unexpected, but they were expected. The unexpected is someone else, and the expected is the First Emperor.
After the martial arts were over, the First Emperor invited everyone to drink a few glasses of wine and rest for a while, and said: "The martial arts fight was very exciting before, and next, as for the Wen Dou, how about it?!" Please also ask all the boys to fight with all their might, and anyone who wins the top three in Wendou can compete for my son-in-law. ”
Originally, many people had hope, both civil and military, and had already lost their martial arts, but they didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly say such things, which suddenly made many people see hope.
In order to save time, the First Emperor had everyone participate in a debate.
Debate, as the favorite way of discussion of ancient politicians, gave birth to many famous debaters, among which the sophistry of the Gongsun family is the most famous.
Because, in order to wait for everyone to participate, find a debate topic, and then let everyone express their opinions and compete for the final winner.
I heard that I still have a chance, and many people are eager to try and want to hug the beauty, after all, the eldest princess is a national beauty and a fragrance to marry home, and there are no regrets in this life.
So, everyone asked, "Your Majesty, what is the topic of the debate this time?" ”
A group of people rushed to ask, and the First Emperor pondered for a while before he said slowly: "The title of this debate is 'The Way of Government'. ”
This debate question has been released, which has attracted many people to snicker and laugh, which is simply a question of sending points.
The way of the first emperor to govern the country is well known, he advocates legalism, and his way of government is of course law, and in order to cater to Yingzheng, of course, it revolves around law.
As a result, many young people at the scene already had plans in their hearts, and many of them had smiles on their faces.
But Meng Yi frowned suddenly, according to his understanding of the First Emperor, this debate was definitely not that simple.
At this time, the First Emperor said, "Wait for the juniors participating in the debate, I will give you a quarter of an hour to prepare. ”
……
As everyone knows, Yingzheng advocates jurisprudence, which is the way of government, and it is also the way of the empire to uphold the great practice, so the issue needs to be debated in public on such an occasion?! This is thought-provoking.
Meng Yi casually glanced at the First Emperor, and read a trace of distress from his eyes, this is the first time that people feel that Yingzheng can't figure it out.
"What the hell does Yingzheng want to do?!"
Meng Yi said in his heart that many of his things have been unreasonable recently, and it is not at all like what he, the first emperor of the ages, can do.
The First Emperor's eyes shifted and fell on Feng Quji's body, and after the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, Feng Qujian nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing the small movements of the two of them, Meng Yi was even more puzzled, no, there was already a problem here.
"The way of government, the Qin Dynasty admired it with legal science, but now it is the opposite, does Your Majesty want to carry out reform?!" Meng Yixin said.
Maybe it was this casual thought that made his heart tremble, didn't it? Is it really necessary to reform?!
Meng Yi may not know that since the return of Songhai City, the First Emperor had anticipated a question, that is, whether a single Legalist path could really be stable for a long time.
Hu Hai's rebellion, the title of the first emperor as "Tyrannical Qin", harsh criminal laws, heavy forced labor, etc., all made the people extremely oppressed.
Therefore, after the rebellion, the First Emperor once again examined his own way of government, and now it is an opportunity for the younger generation to debate, so as to choose some of the future ministers of the empire from among these juniors.
(PS: Qin Shi Huang is a loyal Legalist fan, the above are purely people's thoughts, look at the predecessors from the perspective of future generations, and those who like the history of the Qin Dynasty should just watch a pleasure.) )
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the future successor of the empire, the empire can win the world according to the law, but if you want to keep the world, it is absolutely impossible to rely on a single "law".
Therefore, he must seek a new path for his successor.
With the help of the name of Ying Shisu, the method of fighting with literature and martial arts is to hide people's eyes, the emperor is the emperor, not to say that those ministers compare
A quarter of an hour passed, and the First Emperor said, "When the time comes, let's all come forward and debate." ”
……
"The minister believes that the way to govern lies in the legal system, and using the law as a means to strengthen the centralized system is the road to administration."
"Li Kui of Wei changed the law and formulated the "Book of Law"; Our dynasty Shang Ying's change of law and the implementation of strict punishment and strict law are all the way of practicing law, and the country has been strong, and after a hundred years, it is enough to prove that the way of government is to care about the law. ”
"I think so."
"Dharma, the order of heaven and earth. Great Qin, Kyushu all over China, the vast territory, the prosperity of the people, if there is no degree, the people do not obey, then the order does not exist, the foundation does not exist. If the foundation is not stable, even the hundred-story platform will fall down, and at that time, the empire will be in danger. Someone said.
……
In this way, if it had fallen into the ears of the First Emperor before, he would have applauded again and again, and even waved his hand, and couldn't help but want to reward him with an official position.
But now, instead of demonstrating the way of law, the Qin State has advocated law for hundreds of years, so why do they need later generations to comment on its benefits.
It is a visible fact that the law made the Qin State leap to the first place in the Warring States and laid a solid foundation for the unification of the world, and now again, it is undoubtedly hindsight.
"The world is unified, the empire is prosperous, the people are healthy, and the people's hearts are gathered, all of which benefit from the way of law, so the way of government lies in the law, which is the truth of the world."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
……
For a time, the "way of law" was full of the court, and everyone made their own remarks and vigorously talked about the benefits of law, so why should others talk about these visible benefits.
Of course, those people thought that His Majesty was happy, and they were all advocating the study of law, Meng Yi sat quietly in it, and never spoke, he closed his eyes and listened to them talking, not so much a debate, more like a court discussion.
It's just that the speakers are young people, not the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"With the rule of law of the country, the rule of law of the people, and the rule of law, the road to building a legal empire is ,......"
Just when some people were talking happily, Meng Yi suddenly stood up, he came to the center and said loudly: "The minister has something to disagree. ”
Every time Meng Yi spoke, the eyes of the First Emperor lit up, and he remembered that the Great Dynasty Meeting was the same a year ago, and the "county system" he introduced provided a good model for the empire.
Now that he happened again, the First Emperor faintly felt that he had made some big moves, and he said, "Come on. ”
"I just listened to the words of the people, all of them stated the benefits of the law, but ignored the disadvantages of the law, everything is yin and yang, and the way of governing the country is the same, what is the yin and yang of governing the country?" Meng Yi said, "The so-called yin is also disadvantageous; The Yang, the Liye. ”
"The rule of law in the world is certainly a strong country, but they state the advantages and ignore the disadvantages, which is really pandering to Your Majesty, and it is a debate, but in fact they are secretly patting on the back, which is really despicable."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Yi slapped them hard, although His Majesty advocates law, they are advocating law, not for the sake of sycophancy.
I saw that they were all red-faced, and they had nothing to say.
"Meng Yi, don't say more, you continue." The First Emperor said that he was afraid that the ministers would criticize Meng Yi again at the Great Court Meeting, and the First Emperor hurriedly stopped it, so as not to let this kid say other radical words.
"The minister thinks that the way of the empire is the way of government, such as the North Star, where the stars live together."
"What's the explanation?!"
"The so-called way of government is the way of governing the country, how can governing a country be included in a law, everything has a way to survive, and the law is the means, but it is by no means the only one." Meng Yi said.
"What do you mean? What is the real way of government? ”
"The golden mean."
