Chapter 14: Vanishing

Concubine Zhao is here to question her son. Chu State did not save Zhao State because of her own reasons, and she couldn't say it if she had complaints, after all, Chu State had the interests of Chu State, but I heard that her son wanted to 'destroy all countries in one day', this is not a matter of saving Zhao.

When she came, Xiong Jing and Mi Xuan, who were caught in bed in the big room, were in a hurry for a while-every time they met, Xiong Jing would tear Mi Xuan's clothes, and he liked to listen to the sound of silk threads breaking-Mi Xuan put on a maid's pure clothes and hurriedly knelt aside. Concubine Zhao came up and waved everyone away, and wanted to talk to Xiong Jing alone, and Mi Xuan, who was carrying her heart, walked out of the outer hall with a sense of relief.

"My sister is very beautiful, the king can't put it down, and Yingnan also loves it." It is indecent for men and women to be alone in the same room, and Mi Xuan, who escaped the catastrophe, was rejoicing, when a voice suddenly appeared next to him. Ying Nan followed Concubine Zhao to sleep, and others didn't notice Mi Xuan who was wearing pure clothes, and she sniffed and found the problem.

"Yes, it's Princess Yingnan......" Mi Xuan regretted not going out of the hall, she wanted to wait for Concubine Zhao to leave before being alone with Xiong Jing.

"Zhao Guo is dying, Princess He Yan?" Ying Nan took a closer look at Mi Xuan's face, trying to find some flaws from it, but in the end she gave up the effort. "The kingdom of Zhao is about to die, and the king wants to destroy all the kingdoms in one day......"

Thinking of the imminent demise of his mother country, Yingnan couldn't help but shed tears. She turned to Mi Xuan and bowed down, and said: "If the king still has a trace of the heart to save Zhao, Yingnan will ask my sister to say good words." The king loves his sister very much, and he will do what he says, his aunt, Yingnan, and millions of people of Zhao State, and the world will remember his sister's kindness. ”

Win Nan Dabai, Mi Xuan didn't expect that what she pleaded for was this. After all, she is a princess and not a princess of any country, and at the time of the Warring States, any princess has the consciousness of sacrificing her life to feed tigers, although they often hate their fate.

In the face of Ying Nan's pleading, Qi Xuan was at a loss, and in the big room, Concubine Zhao looked at her son with some grievances, waiting for him to speak. Xiong Jing is not good at saying that those words during the day are willful and tentative.

He knew in his heart as well as Lan Hao that if the current political system of the Chu State did not undergo fundamental changes, it would be impossible to destroy all the countries in one day. This is just like the fact that if the political system of the United States does not change, it will be impossible to annex the Philippines and unify the world. Instead of unifying the world, they will only annex the resource-rich, low-populated areas of Alaska and economically colonize the populous ones, and then let the world's legislators pour into Washington and eventually drown themselves.

The alliance with Baiyue was at the beginning of the establishment of the Ao system, and the reason why Baiyue was called 'hundred' was because the population under the rule of each Yue was very small, and the most populous Luo Kai was only 200,000 or 300,000 people, and most of the rest were tens of thousands or thousands, and the area where Baiyue was located was extremely broad. Ba and Shu are not good, there are many people and the land is narrow, and the world is even more bad.

This is the case. In the nine years after his accession to the throne, in order to fight against the Qin people, he only optimized the political system of the Chu State in the same direction, and did not make any changes in nature and direction. Now suddenly turn around and reverse, naturally one stone stirs up a thousand waves, facing inside and out, sleeping inside and outside, and public opinion is one after another.

After Concubine Zhao was persuaded to leave, Song Yu and Kong Qian came again, and they did not complain like Concubine Zhao, but regret.

"The king wants to go down for a day, and he shouldn't sue the world at this time." Kong Qian exposed his traveler attribute with a single sentence, and Xiong Jing was accustomed to it. "Although the Chu army is brave, there are many Qin people. The king should unite the nations and destroy Qin, and then he can show his heart for a day. ”

"Oh?" Xiong Jing sighed, he disdained such a concealment.

"The world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and if you want to be stable, you must be one." Because of Xiong Jing's temptation, Song Yu also easily exposed his class attributes.

"However, the ministers of the court and the central government did not want to settle on a ......" Xiong Jing did not deceive them, he just stated the facts.

"This is the fault of my Chu country, which does not choose the virtuous and capable." Song Yu shook his head and sighed.

"King, Zuo Yin Meng is asking to see you." Song Yuzheng was about to refute the stubborn disease of the Chu State since its founding for hundreds of years: the employment of people is still close to the old, and Chang Jiang told Meng Zhengyu to ask for a meeting.

After the Ao system, Wang Zheng was no longer out of Yingdu, and Wang Fa naturally did not go out of Yingdu, and what could really go out of Yingdu and go to the whole country was more and more litigators who were licensed by Zuo Yinfu.

Qin has lawyers, and Chu has lawyers. With the financial support of the royal court, most of the poor scholars who were literate but did not dare to go to the battlefield and could not serve as officials became glorious lawyers. As a result, counties and towns across the country are wary of lawyers, and once a lawyer enters the county township, they will immediately send someone to follow him. In some places, bridges and roads were even broken, and people were killed and set on fire, so as to prevent them from provoking the common people under their rule to fight lawsuits with them.

'Avoiding disasters and avoiding disasters, avoiding poetry, fire prevention, theft prevention and litigation prevention. This is not a joke, this is the norm in Chu County. In the past, Zhou Tianzi 'patrolled every five years, and ordered the master Chen Shi to observe the people's customs', with a special poetry collector to observe public opinion, and now it is a poetry collection that travels all over the country regardless of the season, and it is not necessarily poetry, but also big and small news, and then published in Dachu News.

Poetry pickers, lawyers, and doctors have been the main force of the movement since ancient times. When the head of the lawyer, Meng Zhengyu, heard that the king was going to go down in one day, he immediately came.

"The minister has seen the king." Meng Zhengyu's heart was excited, and he came in and said: "The minister heard that the king wants to go down for a day, and this great act of kindness is also." Outside my Chu country, the common people are like cattle and horses, toiling but not eating, weaving and spinning without covering the body, if the king can save the people from fire and water in one day, the people will eat pot pulp, in order to welcome the king. ”

"People?" Xiong Jing shook his head. "If the people are useful, why should they be in fire and water?

If you don't hear about it, if you don't match it, there will be disaster. What does one day have to do with saving people from fire and water? ”

Meng Zhengyu was thinking about the common people of the world, but he didn't expect the king to say, 'If virtue is not worthy, there will be disaster'. This is elegantly said, and to put it bluntly, those people who are in fire and water deserve it. He shook his head vigorously, disagreeing with this point of view: "The king is fallacious. If it weren't for the nobles and officials, how could the people be like this? ”

"What kind of people there are, what kind of nobles and officials, how can you blame the nobles and officials in the midst of fire and water?" Xiong Jing retorted, and once again the grand scene of the Weinan Qin army's soldiers lining up to cut off his left toe came to his mind, and he also shook his head vigorously.

"Doesn't the king want to go down in one day?" Meng Zhengyu was confused, he couldn't think of a reason for the king to go down for a day.

"The ministers don't want to go down for a day, and they don't know how to go down the world." Xiong Jing's train of thought tried his best to break free from Weinan and return to reality.

"Zhu Ao, contractors, and honorable people, all of them should be scrapped." Meng Zhengyu hit the nail on the head and prescribed the prescription. "The king also ordered: Chu people must not call themselves Chu people, do not speak Chu language, do not write Chu characters, do not wear Chu clothes, do not sit in Chu cars, and do not use Chu ornament......s, so that Chu people do not regard themselves as Chu people, so that Chu people are no different from people in the world, and they will be able to go down for a day."

"Good, great good." Xiong Jing unsheathed his sword as he spoke, and the sword was thrown directly under Meng Zhengyu's knee, "Meng Qing killed Bu Yu first, so there is no king of Chu in the world." ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare!" Meng Zhengyu's face changed, and he knelt down a few steps back.

"King, although what Zuo Yin said is harsh, it is the foundation of the day." Kong Qian agreed with Meng Zhengyu's method in his heart. "If the king wants to be the king of the world, he must first be the king of the world. If the king is only the king of Chu, he can't go down in one day, the king is the king of the world, but he can also go down in one day. ”

"So, what am I?" Xiong Jing's face was expressionless.

"The people of Chu should also be the people of the world." Kong Qian said. "If the Chu people think they are Chu people, how can they order them to go to the border city of Chu? And how shall they shepherd the people of other lands? ”

"If the Chu people only want to be the Chu people, not the people of the world, then what?" For the strong, the biggest resistance always comes from within. After a day of tossing, Xiong Jing became more and more aware of the reason why Chu State could not be left in one day.

"...... this" Kong Qian couldn't answer this question. Song Yudao: "The minister thinks that the school should practice elegant words instead of Chu language, and books should also change Chu words, such as changing the words of Chu to sisters, so that after 20 years, the common people do not know the words of Chu, and the world can be one." ”

"The common people have only been in school for four years, and after four years, they speak Chu language, how can they not know Chu language?" Kong Qian pointed out the problem in Song Yu's method, "The minister thought that the common people would enter school at the age of eight and only become a career after being crowned, so they didn't know what to say." ”

"Since the common people are common people, they want to cultivate, how can they be crowned before they can succeed?" The difference between Meng Zhengyu and the two Taifu is that he is well aware of the people's suffering. The common people in the township have become adults at the age of fifteen and have become Ding Zhuang in the family. Because of this, many first- and second-year students are fine, while half of the third- and fourth-year classrooms are empty.

In the small bed, the three of them were arguing about how to make the Chu people no longer Chu people, but Xiong Jing's mind was no longer in Mingtang.

One day is not something that can be done by destroying all nations. Zhao Zheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms, did it go down in one day? It was indeed one, but it fell apart in just fifteen years. The Han Dynasty continued to do so, but the Han Dynasty did not dare to make a second like Zhao Zheng, but implemented the parallel of the county and the state for a long time, and the county was the scope directly under the Han Dynasty. It was not until the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was quelled a few decades after the founding of the Han Dynasty that the imperial court really incorporated the whole country into the administrative system.

From Zhao Zheng's destruction of the Six Kingdoms and the relocation of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, to the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, to the struggle between Chu and Han, and then to the parallel of the Han Dynasty, and finally to pacify the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, it was truly realized in one day. There is no trickery in this process, as long as those who call themselves Chu people, Qin people, Zhao people, Wei people, Qi people, Yan people, and Han people do not all die, it is impossible to really go down in one day.

After understanding this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel a little sad. He is a Chu man, and he is the king of Chu, he must 'murder' himself in order to become a man of the world and the king of the world. In normal times, this would definitely not be possible, but Xiang Yan had already seen before his death: the Chu people, the Qin people, the Zhao people, the Wei people, the Qi people, and the Han people ......, and they will inevitably die one by one in the more tragic wars in the future.

"You haven't met someone who gave you three moles......" he remembers saying in later generations. In a trance, he seemed to see a certain intersection flashing by, falling farther and farther behind him, and finally disappearing.
