Chapter 26: Changing the Law
Wang Zu took Jucheng ahead of schedule beyond the schedule, and the Qin-Wei coalition army has not attacked until today. Chen Ying's already tense atmosphere was inevitably relaxed by the two victories. In the morning of this day, the two laughed and suddenly said: "Why can't Brother Wang speak well?" β
"Speak well?" Xiong Jing had just finished telling a joke, and he was still like a cow in the past few days, but he was a little happy when he got along with Mi Xuan.
"Yes, yes." When she smiled, her eyes were like a crescent moon, and her eyes were black and shiny. Because he was riding on a horse, the hakama under his skirt was raised, and the calves on his feet were as white as snow. "Honorable people don't kill people, but don't they?"
Qi Xuan has always been by Xiong Jing's side, and some documents are even drafted by her, so she knows a lot of things that others don't know, such as the revised reputation system. It's not that Yushi kills people and doesn't die at all, but two sets of administrative systems, just like the Shaofu and Xiangbang Mansion of the Qin State.
When she was rarely happy, she mentioned business, Xiong Jing's smile dissipated, and said, "Is it so important for Yushi to kill people and die or not?" β
"Yes. Kindness. Kindness. She nodded childishly, "I thought that Brother Wang was the best king in the world, and the best king would treat his people well." It is unfair for a person to kill and not to die. Brother Wang just ......" She skipped some confidential words, "Although Xuan Xuan doesn't know why Wang Di wants to make such an arrangement, Xuan Xuan is deeply convinced that Wang Di will eventually give justice to the common people." β
"Fair?" Qi Xuan took a sip of Xuanxiao, calling herself a sister, Xiong Jing smiled again, at this time he really wanted to light a cigarette, but he didn't.
"Yes, fair. Why is there so much injustice in the world? Why do some people have good food and clothing, but some people don't have enough to eat? Some people wear silk and satin, and some people don't cover their bodies? Xuan'er has read a lot of history books and feels that the world is becoming more and more fair. In the past, only Wang Qing could be a general, but now, there are not a few cloth clothes as a general. In time...... "the girl's fantasy is boundless," a thousand years later, the world will probably be really fair. β
"Haha......" Xiong Jing laughed unconsciously, not mocking, but being amused. Qi Xuan looked at him in surprise, her face was a little blushing, but she didn't feel that she was wrong, and when Xiong Jing finished laughing, she asked, "Brother Wang, what I said is not right?" β
Xiong Jing shook his head ruthlessly and said coldly: "A thousand years later, there will be no justice in the world, only slavery. β
"And what about two thousand years from now?" Mi Xuan does not give up.
"Even more so." Xiong Jing laughed cruelly.
"Really?" Mi Xuan's eyes were wide, her lips were round, and her surprised appearance was pitiful.
"It's a nice day." Xiong Jing looked at the sky and finally replied.

"From Chen Ao's matter, it can be seen that the king's heart of replacing me with a reputation is clearly revealed. The county prince must no longer believe the king's assurance, and all counties in the country should abolish the government of the people of the dynasty when the Yingdu opens the foreign dynasty......" The county Yin Mansion not far from the bed, the county Cheng Chen Bi said, Chen Jian has been closing his eyes, as if he has turned a deaf ear.
"The system of honorable men should also be abolished." Kneeling opposite Chen Bi was the county Sima Chen Fei. "What honorable? is all the king's dead soldiers, if every party, every clan, and even every Lu has a reputation, what is the use of my county Sima and county officials? β
"It is also inappropriate to emphasize culture and religion and worship ghosts and gods." Peng Zong also said that he is Chen Jian's protΓ©gΓ©, and everything is considered by Chen Jian. "The county magistrate should know that the government of the king is not a new policy, but a change of law."
"Change?!" The two words of change made Chen Jian open his eyes, his tone was not as humble as usual, and his rosacea nose was red and red. "That little boy is actually going to change the law, why didn't I see it?"
"It's the change!" Peng Zong said very seriously. "The people of the DPRK and the people of the foreign dynasty, the so-called one party and one country, are actually the opposite. Let me ask the county magistrate, if there is no government of the people of the dynasty, who will the county people listen to? With the government of the people of the dynasty, who do the people of the county listen to? The county magistrate only saw that the people sent by the counties to the outer dynasties of Yingdu could restrain the royal power, but he did not know that the people of the foreign dynasties in the county also restricted the county power......"
People always like to look at the good side of themselves, and subconsciously ignore the bad side of themselves. As soon as Peng Zong said, Chen Jian woke up. There are also people who have not woken up, Chen Budao: "But those people are all obeying the orders of the county magistrate?" β
"At this time, they are naturally obedient to orders, if they wait for them to sit firmly in their positions, knowing that the government of the people of the dynasty has nothing to do with the county magistrate, how can they obey the orders of the county magistrate again? Listen too. Peng Zongdao, he also saw the king's intentions clearly from Chen Ao's matter.
"Honorable people are the dead soldiers placed by the king in the county, and they are not murderous and do not die, but the county has no right to be executed; The people of the country are the servants of the king in the county, and they are not under the orders of the county prince, but under the orders of the king; Culture and education, although it has not been seen, but with the two systems of honor and people, the people of the county are also ordered by the king rather than by the public; Witchcraft, the king was born to be the head of the witchcraft of my Chu country, and all the witches in the whole country obey the king's orders......"
Peng Zong said his understanding of the New Deal in one breath, and Chen Jian, Chen Bi, and Chen Bu were speechless, but they were speechless.
"What is this non-change?" Peng Zong asked everyone rhetorically. "When the Qin state changed the law, it asked the scholars of other countries to compile the law and put it into practice, so that the power of each county would be received by the king. The change of the king seems to be messy and does not show the landscape, but in fact it is laid out everywhere, and the power of the princes of the county is no different from the change of the law of the Qin State. However, not all of this power is in the hands of the king, and some of them are divided into the hands of the people of the county......"
Chen Jian understood, Chen Bi and Chen Bu also understood. The anxiety of losing power made Chen Jian stand up, and after taking a step, he asked the three of them: "...... What if? β
Chen Bi hurriedly said: "We should tell the people of Zuo Yin to buy Jane with money, so as to abolish the government of the people." β
"No, never!" Peng Zong categorically denied it. "The government of the people of the dynasty is the government of the opposite, and if the county announces treachery, it will cause the people of the county to be separated from the county government. And if the king does not abolish this government, what about the re-election? β
"Zitu Miao!" Chen Bi has Chen Bi's own plan, "Why should I be sued by the county father-in-law, I will find someone else to tell me, and then make someone kill him, then he will say that it was killed by the person who was accused, and there will be no future trouble, so the government of the people of the dynasty should be abolished." β
"Who do you want to get to accuse you?" Chen Jian is excited, this is indeed a clever plan.
"Then make ......" Chen Bi's eyes rolled a few times, and he actually told Chen Jian in his ear, which made Peng Zong and Chen Bei glare angrily.
"Goodness, great goodness! It's a two-pronged approach. Chen Jian pinched his beard and nodded frequently, and his rosacea became redder.
"Tell the county prince, the king invites the county prince to bed." There was a county official outside the door, and there was a confessor standing beside him.
"Dare to ask the king what is the matter?" Chen Jian asked as he stroked his beard, looking confident.
"It's a matter of guarding the city, and it is also impossible to summon the county Sima Chen." The confessor held the summoning festival, but fortunately it was two verses instead of three, and if it was three, Chen Jian would have run over. "Please go to bed quickly with the county prince and Sima."
"Yui!" Facing the confessor Chen Jian and Chen Bu dared not dare to be polite, the two hurriedly went out after bowing, and went to bed with the confessor.
It was indeed the king who summoned him, but it was Li Ji of the Operations Division of the Great Sima Mansion who was talking. As soon as he met, he said: "Although Qin Wei did not attack me, he also asked the county minister to leave the city, leaving only two people in one household, or one person at all, so as to reduce the loss of grain......
Li and spoke very quickly, Chen Jian was about to say that the people of the county were afraid that they would not want to leave the city, he preemptively said: "The people outside the county, the township of Tacheng in the north of the county must be dismissed to the south of the county or other counties, the army of Qin and Wei came from the north of the county, if the people of the county do not leave home, they may be taken captive by the enemy and enslaved." β
"The Wei people have not violated the realm!" No one wants to fight, but Chen County is located here, and there is something to bear the brunt of in the north.
"The army of Qin and Wei is gathering in Changping (northeast of present-day Xihua County), and the vanguard has reached Ghost Yan." The news in Li Ji's mouth made Chen Jian weak for a while. Changping is Wei County, seventy li northwest of Chen County, and Guiyan is on the border of Chu and Wei, less than thirty li away from the border city of Chu. Within five days, the army marched to the foot of Chen Yingcheng.
"How many armor soldiers does Qin Wei have?" After all, Chen Bu has guarded Chengyang, and he looks calm.
"I don't know." Li He glanced at him, and then added: "The spy Yu Daliang heard that the Qin general Xin Wu led the soldiers of the four counties to help the Wei people attack me, and the soldiers of the four counties must be no less than 200,000, and the Wei State should also have 200,000 in order to prevent the Qin people from attacking the Qin people." β
"Four hundred thousand?!" Chen couldn't gasp. At that time, there were only 200,000 Qin troops in Chengyang, and only 100,000 actually attacked the city; Chen Jian is so soft that he is on the ground, and the 400,000 army is pressing, and Chen County will not be guaranteed.
"County magistrate, county magistrate." Chen Bu helped him up.
"The Wei people and the Wei people attack me, aren't you afraid that the Qin people will destroy Wei with a false way!" Chen Jian burst into tears, he was angry, and his sleeves waved angrily. "Where is the general, the general? Where is the army of my Chu State? β
"The general has left Chen Ying. Qin Wei did not only attack Chen County this time, but also Chengyang in the upper reaches of Huaishui and Pingyu in the upper reaches of Rushui. "Li and not Chen Jian's gaffe," please ask the county officials to quickly dismiss the county residents and villagers, they can go to Yingdu to eat, Yingdu coal mines, shipyards, and mansions are all short of people. β
There was a bang in his head, and Chen Jian couldn't hear anything. The general left Ying, and the army did not come to save Chen, it seems that Chen County must be lost. Although he is the county magistrate, he is actually the county lord, and if Chen County loses it, he will have nothing.
"When will the army attack me?" Chen Bu calmed down and began to inquire about the enemy's movements.
"I don't know." Li He shook his head helplessly, he was also puzzled by this. "The army has been arming me for many days, and it seems that it has no intention of attacking me, but if you don't want to attack me, why do you want to attack me?"

"Please rest for a moment, for it is already dawn." In Huayang Palace, Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, who had been guarding all night, was dozing off in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Zu, Zhao Gao hesitated a few times, but still persuaded him.
"No need, the widow is not sleepy." Zhao Zheng waved his hand impatiently, cheering up some spirits. On that day, the Empress Dowager Zu fainted and was bedridden, and even if she woke up, she couldn't speak, so he kept guarding it like this, hoping that the Empress Dowager Zu would recover.
The Qin Palace is cruel, and it is precisely because of this that family affection is precious. After his father left, his grandmother, Empress Dowager Xia, went again; Empress Dowager Xia went, and Cheng Chan suddenly rebelled; After the chaos, the mother was bewitched by the traitor again, and wanted to set up the two mongrels as the king...... relatives were not there one after another, if the ancestor queen mother who made his father the king was also gone, he really didn't know where to send his family affection to the huge Qin State.
"Mi Xuan!" Zhao Zheng finally remembered the intimate treasure of the Empress Dowager Zu, "Where is Mi Xuan?" β
"King Yu, Mi Xuan has arrived in Jing Kingdom." Zhao Gao replied.
"Why did you go to Jingguo? Get her back! "When it comes to Zhao Zheng of Chu State, he is displeased. The Qin and Wei armies were on the border of Chu, and the war was about to break out, but he was worried that the war would aggravate the illness of the Empress Dowager Zu, so he had to order the army to postpone the attack.
