Chapter 49: The Marquis of Qin
"The king of Xianjun Zhuang thought that the currency was light, and the small was easy to be big, and the people were inconvenient, so they all went to their business. The city decree said to Yin: 'The city is chaotic, and the people are not in peace, and the next action is uncertain. He said, 'How is it?' The city decree said: 'March is the end of March.' ββ¦β¦β
In the afternoon, Huang Xie came to the East Palace to teach, and he did not strictly follow the order of the "Order", but seemed to pick out a book at random for Xiong Jing to read through. This is what happened when King Zhuang of Chu: King Zhuang thought that the face value of Chu coins was too small, so he changed small to large, and as a result, 'the people were inconvenient, and they all went to their business'. The city order did not dare to say bluntly that this was the disaster of the currency, but only said that 'the city is chaotic, the people are not safe', so that Yin knew it and was determined to 'make it reinstated', so he admonished King Zhuang, King Zhuang agreed, and the market returned to its original state.
There were no rare words, Xiong Jing quickly finished reading more than 100 words, and Huang Xie stroked his beard and asked, "Does Zijing understand?" β
Of course, Xiong Jing understood the literal meaning, but he didn't know what Huang Xie was going to say, so he replied: "The student doesn't understand." β
"The people have their own customs, the city has its own examples, the first monarch Zhuang Wang Yizhi, the people are inconvenient, and the city is chaotic. Repeatedly, as before. Huang Xie was also knowledgeable for Ling Yin, and he briefly finished the story and asked, "Is folklore easy?" β
"It's not easy." Following Huang Xie's meaning, Xiong Jing replied no.
"Yes." Huang Xie smiled, took out another book and said, "Zijing will read this book again." β
"Chu folk customs are good (bi; Short) car, the first king Zhuang thought that the car (too short) was inconvenient for the horse (pull), and wanted to order (the car) to be high. Ling Yin said: 'The people don't know what to do, so don't let it go. The king will want to raise the chariot, and the ministers will ask Lu Li to make the high (threshold). The passengers are all gentlemen, and gentlemen cannot count the cars. 'Wang Xuzhi. Half a year old, the people know that they are self-exalted. β
After Xiong Jing finished reading it this time, Huang Xie didn't ask again, 'Does Zijing understand', but asked directly: "Is folklore easy?" β
"It's easy." The facts are in front of us, and Xiong Jing has to answer.
Then Huang Xie smiled, and he asked again: "Zijing, why can't the city currency be easy to grow, but the car can make it high?" β
Huang Xie's face is colorful. If he was like this, if it had been three months ago, Xiong Jing would have refuted. After becoming a prince, he felt that he had changed, or that he had to change. "Please teach me." He said.
"If you want to make the car high, you can first raise the door gate, and the door gate is high, and the car is high; If you want to make the city currency big, you must first expensive department stores, and if the goods are expensive, the currency will be big. The former is OK, the latter is not. "Huang Xie didn't sell it, and officially started today's teaching." Everything is related, A is connected to B, B is C, C is involved, and C is D. Therefore, the famous family said: 'The greatest is the greatest, and it is called the great one.' Therefore, the Legalist said: "The reason why the Ming Jun has made meritorious contributions and prestige is four: one is the time of the day, the second is the people's heart, the third is the skill, and the fourth is the potential"; therefore, the soldier said: "The soldier is the one who uses five things, and the school is calculated and asks for his feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law";
What each family says is related to the governor and related to things. However, in addition to the correlation of all things, there is also birth and death: when things move, they are sprouted, they are born, they are born, they are born, they are grown, they are big, they are grown, they are decayed, they are killed, they are hidden, and this circle is also.
The circle is the most expensive, and the holy king is the law. The order comes from the mouth of the Lord, and the official position is carried out, day and night, and the propaganda is investigated, and the people are in the hearts of the people, so they are in the Quartet, and they are also returned, and as for the Lord's office, it is also round. Lingyuan, it is not possible, good is not good, there is nothing to do, and the main road is also open. Therefore, the reason why the master of the people is the life is also determined by the virtuous and the safe. β
Huang Xie spoke, Xiong Jing listened. In order to make the students understand, Huang Xie, the teacher, spoke very slowly. He first said that all things are connected, and then he said that all things are born and die, and that this is the 'circle path'. And 'the way of the circle is the most noble', so the holy king imitates it, and the king's command refers to itβa command comes from the mouth of the king, and the hundred officials carry it out, day and night, and it is used in all directions, and finally it must return to the king. At this time, it is still necessary to amend the royal decree so that the bad places will be good, and the bad places will be good. Therefore, government decrees are as important as the life of the monarch, and the decisive factor of whether the monarch is virtuous or unscrupulous, and whether the country is stable or dangerous.
Song Yu's lectures are the same as being kind and instructive, but intermittently, enlightening students little by little; The crown of the horse lectured, there were not so many tricks, as soon as he came, he went straight to the point, expressed his opinions, and then argued for it, as majestic as a lion; And Huang Xie, the guide is only at the beginning, once you get to the point, it will be like a waterfall falling straight to the end.
Xiong Jing listened to the two-hour course with relish, but he didn't know that Huang Xie's views came from the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn" compiled by Qin Xiang LΓΌ Buwei. LΓΌ Buwei is facing the Qin Wangzheng who is about to be crowned and in power, so although this book is extensive and complex, Taoism occupies a lot of content in political thought, and both openly and secretly advocate the rule of hypocrisy; Xiong Jing is still more than ten years away from being crowned, and Huang Xie believes that the 'Hypocrite' should be educated from an early age, so when explaining the "Order", he instills more Taoist views.
In the next spring, the course ended. Huang Xie, who got into the car, wiped his sweat again and again, and it was still very difficult for people in their seventies and eighties to work hard to attend classes.
"Lord, news has come from Zuo Yin's Mansion, saying that those assassins died suddenly after lunch." Back at Ling Yin's Mansion, Zhu Guan quietly reported something.
"Really?" Huang Xie's expression changed and he pondered.
"Yes. Zuo Yin has come to report to him. Zhu Guan nodded heavily, "It was said that someone poisoned the rice." β
"Do you know who poisoned it?" Huang Xie thought about it for a long time, and he could only think of some people in his heart.
"I don't know yet, I just heard that the official (cook) of Zuo Yin's Mansion is gone." Zhu Guan also thought of some people. "My lord, this is ...... But the Marquis of Qin. β
"Who else is there who is not the Marquis of Qin!" Huang Xie's face has a tyrannical color. Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and it is also the country of the marquis, and any victory of the Qin army has the credit of the Qin people. Four years ago, when the army of Chu had not yet set off, the marquis of Yingdu had already sent a message to Xianyang. Afterwards, he strictly ordered Cheng Yin to search and kill the Marquis of Qin, but the head of the Hou people, Xuanjun, escaped.
This assassination first used the outlaw as bait, making people mistakenly think that the danger was gone, but they didn't expect that the real killing move was later. If the crown prince had not been riding in a four-wheeled carriage at that time, and if several assassins had jumped into the carriage at that time, fearing that his head would have fallen to the ground long agoβthe crown prince had been assassinated and died, and the prince would have benefited from this, wouldn't the king have suspected that he had committed the assassination?
"Qin Hou should be killed! Damn it! "The weather in May was hot, and Huang Xie, who had figured out the conspiracy of the Qin people, had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his beard seemed to stand up.
"The lord, the management is to be removed, and the city defense is taken over by the king's left army." Zhu Guan reminded. "The general is Jing Hua, this person ......"
"Jinghua?" Huang Xie struggled to break free from the conspiracy of the Qin people, "Isn't he in Dongting County?" β
"Exactly. This person ...... "Zhu Guan coughed lightly," this person has an enmity with the sovereign, so the king urgently summoned him back to Ying. β
"This person might as well take care of it, Yingdu may have a lot of trouble in the future." Who is Jinghua Of course Huang Xie knows, he is the nephew of Chu General Jingyang. Jingyang hanged himself at the foot of the Purple Mountain, and most of his subordinates were martyred, and he was afraid that he hated himself very much. Hate it, hate it, if you encounter the enemy on an expedition without fighting, it is already an insult to the teacher, and someone will always pay the price for it. "The so-called national appearance is not as good as the army, and the military does not allow the country. I heard that Jinghua is strong and silky, and there are many envoys, merchants, streamers, and lobbyists from all over the country. β
"Lord, the Marquis of Qin is rampant, do you want to invite the king to ......?" Zhu Guan suggested.
"No." Huang Xie vetoed it without even thinking about it. "The eldest son was assassinated, and the king was very suspicious of me, and if he asked the king to reinstate his duties, he would be even more suspicious of me. Xuan Jun is this fang, with thousands of faces, acting cautiously, and if the assassination fails, there must be a strategy to disrupt my Chu country, I really don't know ......"
Huang Xie's waist was still straight just now, and when he talked about the head of the Marquis of Qin, Xuanjun, he collapsed again, and his face was full of worry. The king is so distrustful of himself and so wary, how could the king who knows everything in Yingdu not know? If he doesn't know, how can he stir up a poisonous scheme? The king remembered the old feelings, and also knew that behind him was the county Yin Yigong, and it was harmful to kill him, but did the crown prince know?
*
In Ling Yin's mansion, Huang Xie thought about his student Xiong Jing, in the unknown corner of Yingdu City, but some people were talking about Li Yuan. A man who was supposed to die bowed down to the darkness and offered something with both hands.
"Yu Xuanjun: Li Yuan has been commissioned, and this is his confession." Zhao Yu, who spoke, did not die from the assassination that day.
"Good." Jue Jun's voice came from the shadows, and a masked young maid in Tsing Yi took Li Yuan's letter of entrustment. "How's your injury?" The voice was softer, with some concern.
"Xie Yujun inquired! The subordinates have nothing to do, and they can still fight. Zhao Yu's body was already straight. He led the charge that day, and when he was hit by an arrow, he deliberately fell, and how he came out after that, he himself did not know.
"Good. Now the city Yin Guan is gone, and the left army of the king is not familiar with the depth of Yingdu, and there is no way to control me. You go back and recuperate for a while, and if anything happens, I will send someone to pass you on. Jue Jun's voice went cold again.
"Jun Xuan, so that Yin Huangxie and King Jing are suspicious of each other, and Li Yuan has already been commissioned, why don't you send this book to Zuo Yin's mansion, so ......"
"How?" Zhao Ji's idea was interrupted before he finished speaking, "Do you want King Jing to kill Huang Xie, or let Huang Xie kill King Jing?" β
"My subordinates don't know." Zhao Yu's voice softened. He was sent from Li Yuan by Jun Jun after Concubine Li entered the palace and was favored, and he was not taken seriously. Once Li Yuan was robbed out of the city, he killed several people and killed each other, and since then he has won Li Yuan's trust. Li Yuan trusted him, but he hated Li Yuan from beginning to end, and this time he got a confession written by Li Yuan himself, so he wanted to throw it out immediately.
"If you don't know, why do you make an assertion?" Xuan Jun asked rhetorically. "Let's go down. Remember not to leave Li Yuan half a step in the future, for fear that he will regret it. β
"Yui!" Zhao Yu paused again and quietly exited the room.
As soon as he left, a candle lit up in the corner of the room, and Xuan Jun, who had read Li Yuan's questioning book, laughed first, and took the book into his arms after laughing. He said coldly: "The document is quickly transmitted to Xianyang, and the three sons of Chu are vying for the crown, and there will be chaos in the interim." β
