Chapter 110: Being old and not dying is a thief

"The Book of Nanqi: The Biography of Xiao Chen": "Since he thought he was a high Yihuo, everything was difficult to appreciate, and he was crowned at that time, and he was ashamed of living after things. Correcting the royal power, and seizing it from oneself. ”

Yi Yin, Huo Guang acted under the pretense of the king's orders with his personal talent and power, and controlled the country's major affairs in his hands.

But even if he is as strong as Yi Yin and Huo Guang, he is no longer willing to usurp the royal power easily.

It's hard to tell why.

However, it can be seen that even if the ministers reach the extreme, they are sometimes still limited to the royal power.

But the actual authority of the kingship itself, apart from a nominal orthodoxy, was not so strong.

However, this name, which seems to have no actual authority, has become the main reason for the unification of China.

The orthodoxy of the Shang Dynasty was to merge the royal power with the divine power and deify the royal power, but it produced the characteristics of the kingship of arbitrary hegemony, and finally died here.

The lessons of the Shang Dynasty learned from the Zhou Dynasty made orthodoxy retreat to the second place, and the royal power was deified, which is the so-called royal power of heaven, the king is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is the way of heaven, and the four people of Muye, but the Zhou Dynasty is too human and idealized, which led to internal decay and finally died here.

After the Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in hundreds of years of fighting and developing with each other, slowly looked for a formal way out of the royal power, but until the Han Dynasty, although the royal power was sacrosanct, it was not a 'taboo' thing.

Shang Tang worships Yi Yin as a teacher, and he really treats each other with a teacher's courtesy, and his descendants are even more respectful of Yi Yin, although Yi Yin is a minister, but he is also the elder and ancestor of the Yin Shang royal family.

Although the concept of being a teacher for one day and being a father for life was passed down by Lu Shang, at least in the Yin Shang period, the concept of master was already equivalent to that of his father's elders.

Later, there was the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi Huan, and the Duke respected Guan Zhong as the middle father.

The so-called middle father refers to the father's younger brother, that is, the second uncle, to show the monarch's respect for important ministers.

Ying Zheng naturally respected Lü Buwei as his middle father and treated him as a son and nephew, but this does not mean that Lü Buwei or Guan Zhong have really become the elders of the royal family, which is just a nominal honorific title.

They still have to keep the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, even if they can despise the monarch, but there is a line that cannot be touched.

That's royal blood.

Especially a person like Ying Zheng who is very sensitive to blood.

So when Hu Hai recklessly rushed in and shouted Wang Jian 'Big Father', an invisible felony had already been detained on Wang Qian's body.

Wang Jian was in the Qin Dynasty at this time, and he was not weak in Yi Yin of Shang and Zhou Gong of Zhou, after all, the military and political power was all in the hands of their Wang family, the prime minister of the court, and his surname was Wang.

But Yingzheng is neither Emperor Taijia, nor can he be King Zhou Cheng.

The silence of the entire Zhangtai Palace hall could be heard, and Hu Hai was infected by this strange atmosphere, and stood in place with big innocent eyes.

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he turned his head to look at Wang Qian.

After Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses unhurriedly, slowly stood up from his seat, and showed a loving smile to Hu Hai with an innocent face, "The old minister Wang Jian has seen the eighteenth prince. ”

Wang Jian maintains the duty of a courtier in terms of etiquette and expression, even Zhao Congge can't pick bones from eggs.

"The ministers are not optimistic about the eighteen princes, and they deserve death." Lu Sheng knelt at the door and said respectfully.

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched, and he pulled Hu Hai over and smiled at Wang Jian and said, "Back then, my father often said that the teacher looked like him, and my son Hu Hai often looked at the portrait of his father, probably because he missed the teacher when he saw him." ”

Seeing that Yingzheng took the initiative to exonerate himself, Wang Jian coughed lightly, "Lao Chen did have to be favored by the former king and the king of Taishang back then, and he was a stand-in for the two kings, and participated in several princes' alliances, but I didn't expect the eighteen princes to be so filial and miss the first emperor." ”

"This child is indeed very filial, and when he worships in the ancestral temple, he is the most honest." Ying Zheng squinted and smiled, touching Hu Hai's head, "Zhao Gao, take Eighteen to the back hall to play." ”

"Whoa." Zhao Gao replied respectfully, walked over and took Hu Hai's hand and said with a smile, "Childe, let's go to the back hall." ”

Hu Hai blinked, turned his head to look at Lu Sheng and Han Zhong who were kneeling at the door, then looked at Ying Zheng, and obediently followed Zhao Gao to the back hall.

After Hu Hai followed Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng helped Wang Jian to sit down, and pointed to Lu Sheng, who was kneeling at the door, "Get up, come and see the general." ”

Lu Sheng walked into the main hall and saluted Wang Qian, "Lu Sheng, a man of the mountains and wilderness, has seen General Wang Qian. ”

"You know me?" Wang Jian looked at Lu Sheng with a smile.

"I once had the fate to see the general on the bank of the Yishui River." Lu Sheng smiled and said, "And if you can be called a general for King Qin, I can't think of anyone else except you." ”

"Lu Sheng is the high oath of Yandi, and he saw the eldest brother not long ago, and it happened that the widow had recently been unwell, so he invited someone into the palace." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Oh? I have heard for a long time that the land of Yanqi is full of envy and swears. Wang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lu Sheng with deep eyes, "I don't know if Your Excellency is from Fang Xian Dao or Shen Qing Dao?" ”

Lu Sheng was slightly stunned: "The general has heard of the Qing Dao?" ”

"Over the years in Zhongnan Mountain, I have met a lot of interesting friends, one of them is the inheritance of the Ming Qing Dao, it seems that Your Excellency is from Fang Xian Dao, I heard that Fang Xian Dao has the immortal technique inherited by Dai Yu Xian Mountain, I don't know if it is true or not." Wang Jian asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's body stiffened.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng held his composure and said with a smile, "The immortal technique that the general said was indeed mentioned by the elders of the sect, but Dai Yu wandered out of the East China Sea thousands of years ago and hid in the ocean, and the immortal grass required for the immortal technique was nowhere to be found in the world, so the immortal technique was naturally lost." ”

"Lu Sheng is very skilled, can the teacher see that he is already seventy and seven?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Oh? That's really the appearance of a crane with a childish face, my old friend is also close to old age, although his body is healthy, but his appearance has long been withered, it seems that the inheritance of the Dark Qing Dao is really not as good as your Fang Immortal Dao. Wang Xu also chuckled.

"The general's words are wrong, Fang Xiandao is looking for the way of heaven, cultivating the will of the people, and the path of the underworld is looking for the way of the underworld, so he is good at the method of the Yin Division, although the way of the dark Qing Dao does not have the art of retaining the face, but there is a method of refining the corpse." Lu Sheng kept a smile on his face.

"I don't know about this, I just heard it by chatting with them for nothing, and now they are hiding in the mountains and don't cultivate the Tao, and they specialize in academics every day." Wang Jian was not fooled, turned his head to Ying Zheng and said, "What I wanted to talk to Wang Shang about before is these interesting mountain and wild villagers, and many of their academics are very interesting. ”

"Oh? What do teachers find interesting? There is no chance for a widow to see and learn. Ying Zheng smiled, "Lu Sheng is good at divination, why don't you let him give the teacher a divination?" ”

"Those who are about to die don't count." Wang Jian smiled and shook his head.

"The general is full of blood and energy, his eyes are like torches, his breath is long, and he has the blessing of the emperor, so he will live a long life." Lu Sheng chuckled.

Wang Jian shook his head again, "Being old and not dying is a thief, and the old minister thinks that it is almost there." ”

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this, "Why did the teacher say this, the teacher is my Daqin Xiangrui, and the teacher is the widow's teacher, and the teacher is alive, which is the blessing of my Daqin." ”

To be old and not die is to be a thief.

This sentence does not mean that being old and living is an old thief.
