Chapter 249: How Yingzheng Was Made (Seeking Perfection)
Chapter 249: How Yingzheng is refined, seeking perfection
Before the pre-Qin period in ancient times, the development of writing was not too rich, and the number of commonly used words from the Shang deed text to the Qin seal should be more than 1,000 words, and the total number of words should be less than 10,000 words.
So at this time, it's really like gold.
Sometimes a word represents an allusion or even a sentence.
In this era, every word needs to be chewed and chewed, which also causes the complexity of cultural transmission, because most people do not have so much time to learn the multiple meanings of a word in different situations.
At the same time, the classics handed down from ancient times, why do they need to be annotated by later generations, it is also because of this reason that the culture developed rapidly after the Han Dynasty, and there were a lot of changes in the writing pattern.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the pre-Qin period has been annotated, falsely discussed and distorted by later generations countless times.
Wang Xu asked Jing Ke to convey this sentence at this time.
Let him live.
It is obviously a sentence of mercy and forgiveness of the superior to the inferior, and this and, in this sentence, is explained by living hard.
And it's a kind of command.
If you speak to others like this in the next life, it will definitely cause conflicts.
But now, for the courtiers under the feudal society, this is a great gift.
The monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, which is the product of the distorted vernacular in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.
However, this concept was indeed the mainstream concept in the feudal period, and it was not a Confucian concept of ethics, but in the later period, in order to respect Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu re-annotated the original words of Confucius again, which won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The original words of Confucius are that the monarch makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal
Dong Zhongshu cleverly changed the concept to become a monarch and a minister to die, and the minister did not die because of disloyalty.
From a two-way relationship between a monarch and a minister, it has become a one-way relationship.
Tu Tan went to die for the king's life, this is loyalty, and the king is forgiving with mercy, which is a deacon.
This is the most desirable and ideal state among all the monarchs and ministers.
Jing Ke now gradually understands why Tu Tan, who has been a chicken thief for most of his life, would do such a stupid thing as martyrdom when he was able to return to his hometown and retire with honor.
This mysterious Lone Bamboo Emperor does have an irresistible charm.
Jing Ke stood up straight and made a big bow to Wang Xu to express his gratitude.
Thanks to him for making his old friend Tu Tan feel at ease and live the rest of his life.
Wang Xu accepted Jing Ke's gift, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing came to Yan Country again, is it for King Qin to take King Yan back to Xianyang?" Five years ago, Mr. carried Huan Qi's head and went away, and five years later he came with the elite Luanhe River of Great Qin, and Mr. can be said to be famous. ”
Jing Ke smiled disappre一门ly, not caring at all about the ambiguity in the king's words, "Eating the king, serving the king, what kind of fame you talk about, it's just the king's reward." ”
Seeing Jing Ke's frank face, Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this person was really calm and a little scary, and his psychological quality was so strong, no wonder Tu Tan, a professional spy who could fool, couldn't find Bei.
"Sir doesn't look like a man who values fame, fortune and reward." Wang Xu smiled with a smile.
"I'm just a layman, even if I don't value fame and fortune, I have other things to worry about." Jing Ke chuckled and shook his head, looking at Zhu Jiaxiao's eyes with a different color, "Mr. Zhu, do you want to fight?" ”
"I have long heard that the Red Dog Guard Captain has outstanding swordsmanship, Qin nn thirteen years, Qin and Zhao are deadlocked, mourning the death of King Xiang, King Qin sent Qin General Huan Qi to attack Zhao, the two armies are frozen in Pingyang, Red Dog Guard escorted Wang Yuan to Zhao Di to supervise the army, and was leaked by Qin traitors Wang Jia's itinerary, Li Mu made Zhao General Hu Hu Hu to lead Zhao Bian to ride to intercept and plunder Wang Jia, Red Dog Wei thousands of horses to reach the enemy, protect King Qin to insist on Wang Jian to help, Red Dog Guard Captain through the halberd, beheaded countless people, Zhao army is all frightened, retreat three feet." The Zhu family looked at Jing Ke and said slowly.
"King Qin trusts Mr. so much that even Wang Shi is willing to show Mr. this move is disloyal." Jing Ke said with a smile.
"The history of the king that can be seen by the Zhu family is definitely not a rare thing." The Zhu family chuckled, and the sword on his waist was already an inch out of the sheath, "But the image of Mr. in the historical records of being brave and invincible makes the Zhu family fascinated, and I don't know if there is a chance to ask for advice." ”
Jing Ke raised his head slightly, looked over the head of the Zhu family, and looked at Wang Xu, who was watching from the wall, "Since Mr. Zhu knows, the king only lets you see the history of Wang that he wants you to see, so don't you be curious about the story behind it?" ”
"I want to hear about it." The Zhu family frowned slightly.
"In the twelfth year of King Qin, Lü Buwei died, the king had four out of twenty, in charge of the government, Han Fei entered the Qin Shangshu Wangshang, first cut Zhao, and then surrendered to Han, Wang Yunzhi, sent the general Huan Qi to fight Zhao, Qin and Zhao The two armies could not hold each other, when the thirteenth year of the King of Qin, the Red Dog Wei got the news that Huan Qi rebelled against Qin and collaborated with the enemy, Wang Budo did not doubt, personally led the army to supervise the battle, and the general Wang Jian pressed the formation to support." Jing Ke looked up at Wang Xu, and his words seemed to be asking the Zhu family.
The Zhu family frowned
"With the king himself as bait, the king of Qin is so bold." Wang Xu sighed lightly.
"Can the emperor understand my king?" Jing Ke raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Wang Xu did not answer.
"The history of the king that Mr. Zhu saw was deliberately weakened by the king, but he didn't want this history to be known, after all, Huan Qi had merit to Daqin." Jing Ke sighed lightly, "In order to maintain the last image of Huan Qi, the king is willing to give up this image of a saint who can go down in history, why is it so unbearable in the eyes of Mr. Zhu?" ”
The Zhu family shook their heads expressionlessly, "It's the Zhu family that is unbearable, not the King of Qin." ”
Jing Ke looked at the Zhu family and smiled, "I know that the Mo family's achievements in the Great Qin are higher than Wu'an and overshadowed by the Wang family, but Mr. Zhu, don't forget, the King of Qin treats you well." ”
"Sir, I don't have to say more." The Zhu family shook his head and said coldly.
"You people from hundreds of families, do you really have no favor at all?" Jing Ke was a little puzzled.
"The sword you hold is not what I say." The Zhu family shook his head and said, "I have never said a bad word about the King of Qin, or even the Qin royal family, but we have no relationship between the monarch and the minister, nor do we have the friendship of friends." ”
"Okay." Jing Ke laughed and nodded, looking up at Wang Xu, "Has the emperor ever heard?" ”
The Zhu family's face turned cold, and they glared at Jing Ke angrily.
"The matter between me and the Mo family, I don't have to worry about Mr. Jing." Wang Xu laughed loudly and said, "I still want to hear about the great achievements of King Qin." ”
What is professionalism and what is confidant, now Wang Xu has seen it, Jing Ke at this time, knowing that he has saved the fact that the Mo family will not escape, but he still wants to provoke the relationship between the Mo family and Guzhu.
It's a model that you can't get and you can destroy it.
can cultivate such a confidant and important minister, Ying Zheng, and indeed worthy of the title of the first emperor of the ages.
In the history known to Wang Xu, Ying Zheng has been on the battlefield three times in his life, the first time is what Jing Ke said just now, the thirteenth year of Qin Nn, 235234 BC.
At that time, Lü Buwei had just died, and the political situation in Qin could be said to be very turbulent, before Yingzheng reigned for twelve years, the government had been in the hands of Lü Buwei, that year can be said to be the first year that Yingzheng really took power, and it was also in that year that he recruited Han Fei into Qin, and at the same time personally went to the front line to supervise the war.
But this time there are only four words in the history books.
In the thirteenth year of Qin Nn, the king of Henan!
It's no longer enough to describe it.
There has never been a strange history in history where the king's royal expedition is only four words.
Then Qin Shi Huang left Xianyang for the second time, also to go to Zhao.
At that time, Wang Jian had already conquered Handan, captured Zhao Wangqian, and destroyed the Zhao state.
Historical records of the first emperor Benji: Qin nnsbnn, Daxing troops attacked Zhao, Wang Jian will go to the ground, go down to Jingcheng, Duanhe will Hanoi, Qiang will cut down Zhao, Duanhe besiege Handan City.
In the nineteenth year, Wang Jian and Qiang decided to take Dongyang, the land of Zhao, and won the king of Zhao. Lead troops to attack Yan, Tun Zhongshan. The Handan of the King of Qin, all tastes have a grudge against Wang Shengzhao's mother's family, and they are all gone. The king of Qin returned from Taiyuan and Shangjun. The first emperor's mother, the empress dowager, collapsed. Zhao Gongzijia led hundreds of people from his sect, established himself as the acting king, joined forces with Yan in the east, and went to the valley with the army.
Ying Zheng went out of Xianyang and entered Handan for the second time, he went to kill people, killed all the enemies who bullied his mother and son back then, and the next year, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji died.
This history has also been deliberately distorted and smeared by later generations, saying that Ying Zheng slaughtered the city for three days after destroying Zhao and flooded Handan with blood, but in fact, Ying Zheng only killed the enemy of the year.
Ying Zheng's third and last out of Xianyang into the front line was in the battle to destroy Chu, Changping Jun's rebellion caused the defeat of Li Xin's army, Ying Zheng worshiped Wang Jian as a teacher, Xu 600,000 troops entered Chu, and he personally went to Changping Jun's base area, and Yingchen, the former capital of Chu, pressed Wang Jian for Wang Qian.
Qin Shi Huang recorded in this record: In the twenty-third year, the king of Qin recalled Wang Jian and strengthened it, so that the general would attack Jing. Take the south of Chen to Pingyu, and capture the king of Jing. The king of Qin traveled to Yingchen. Jing general Xiang Yan established Changping Jun as the king of Jing and opposed Qin in Huainan. In the twenty-fourth year, Wang Jian and Mengwu attacked Jing, broke the Jing army, and Changping Jun died. Xiang Yansui s.
This Qin king used in history to swim to Yingchen. It is also very interesting, it can be seen that Taishi Gong does have one of the admiration for King Qin.
Wanjin's body can't sit down, let alone on the battlefield where there is a shortage of soldiers, Taishi Gongyou's use of this tour to describe Yingzheng's mentality at that time is also very expressive.
Because in the past year, the description of the land of Yingchen in the history books is such that the new Zheng anti, Changping Jun migrated to Ying, heavy rain and snow, two feet five inches deep.
Ying Zheng went south to play in such weather, it was really beautiful and interesting.
People's curiosity for knowledge will swell, especially for a professional counterpart, Wang Xu's curiosity about Yingzheng at this time has swelled to almost overwhelm his fear.
Wang Zhihenan's matter came out of Jing Ke's mouth, although he was indifferent on the surface, but his heart had already set off a magnificent wave, and even a ridiculous and ridiculous thought had risen.
It's better to have the opportunity to go to Xianyang and have a good chat with Ying Zheng, and it is best to get Ying Zheng's consent and write a biography of his experience over the years for future generations to admire.
The name Wang Xu has thought of.
It's called how Yingzheng is refined.
