Chapter Twenty-Four: Shang Jun is not a saint

Hearing that Zhao Yong asked about Shang Ying, the bird frowned, then quickly recovered his expression, and asked lightly: "What does Shaojun think about Shang Jun's law?" ”

Zhao Yong is a person from 2,000 years later, what he has heard and heard, the information is very complex, and his opinions are full of objectivity for Shang Ying. "It can become a hegemony, but it is too strong, and I am afraid it is not the way to rule the world." The death of Qin II is proof of this.

"Why?" This time it was the turn of the crane crown to be surprised, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Yong had not yet performed the crown salute, strictly speaking, he was just a child, but his opinion on Shang Ying coincided with his own, which was simply amazing.

"As for Shang Jun's law, I listened to what my master said, and in summary, it is actually biased to say that Shang Ying's law change made Qin State strong. I think that Shang Ying only catalyzed the development of the Qin State, but did not strengthen the strength of the Qin State? Zhao Yong said thoughtfully.

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"There is still a difference. Before Shang Ying, the Qin State was already the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and its strength was very strong. Moreover, his geographical location is relatively special, and he has been isolated from the Central Plains for a long time, which is naturally regarded as a barbarian country, but its advantage is that it can develop in an orderly manner, rather than participating in the conquest too early. ”

Then, Shang Ying entered Qin, was recognized by Qin Xiaogong, and presided over the law change. However, looking at the content of its changes, I made a small summary and found that all the entries were in the service of strengthening the military strength of the Qin State. ”

"How so?" This time, Crane Guanzi began to take Zhao Yong seriously, but he didn't expect this young man to have a deep understanding of Shang Ying's changes, and he was no less than himself.

"Let's give you an example." Zhao Yong sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "The law of the Shang monarch encourages the abolition of Jingtian and the acquisition of land with military merits. If the war is endless, the military achievements will not stop, but how can the military achievements be stopped, and the land will be exhausted. From this, it can be seen that it was through this kind of entry with military purposes that Shang Ying was implemented in the Qin State, which made everyone in the Qin State advocate martial arts and military merits, and it was also the reason why the Qin State continued to win victories. ”

"Shaojun's analysis is very reasonable, but it turns out that such an entry is the most in line with the current situation." The crane crown rebuffed mercilessly.

Zhao Yong nodded, was silent for a while, and then said, "Although this is the case, once the world is peaceful and there is no war, the Qin State will fall into internal and external contradictions, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

"So, what attitude does the young monarch think should be used to govern the country?" When Que Guanzi said this, his tone was already trembling a little, because he saw that when he was debating with his senior brother in the Ghost Valley, his tone and words were exactly the same as this young man.

"Lone believes that there are only two ways to govern the country, a rich country and a strong army. These two points are easier said than done. The situation in each country is different, and it is not the same as it should be. Shang Ying saw the martial courage and barbarism of the Qin people, adopted strict punishment and strict laws, set rules and implemented them steadfastly for ten years, and if the Zhao people re-followed this path, it would be nothing more than an imitation of Dongshi, smiling and generous, and even counterproductive. ”

"So what do you think Shaojun should do?"

"Like Shang Ying, set various rules that are in line with the national conditions of Zhao State, implement them in a down-to-earth manner for ten years, and after ten years, we will look at it." After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he let out a long breath, and finally finished what he wanted to say.

This is the first time in half a year that I have enjoyed myself so much. For special reasons, he has a vision that surpasses modern people. But he knew very well that it was not possible to transfer all the knowledge he knew and use it. All civilizations must be rooted in the soil of their reality, and what he has to do is to try to guide Zhao to avoid the tyrannical unification of Qin, and to contend with this future adversary.

However, to Zhao Yong's surprise, the Crane Guanzi, who was still taking himself for granted just now, actually stood up, took a step back, and then pressed his right hand with his left hand, arched his hand to the ground, and slowly lowered his head to the ground. Hands in front of knees and head behind hands.

What such etiquette means, whether it is Xi next to him or Xiao Pang Nuan, it is very clear.

Ji Shou, the most solemn of the nine prostrations, is often used by courtiers when they meet the king. Later, sons worship their fathers, worship heaven and God, newlyweds worship heaven and earth, parents, ancestors, temples, teachers, tombs, etc., also use this great gift.

However, an idle and virtuous person like Que Guanzi, who has no intention of pursuing a career in public office, even when he meets the monarch, is at most a mockery rather than a chief, firstly because of the king's respect for such a person, and secondly, because they show that they are arrogant and that the king must obey his own signs.

But at this moment, the crane guanzi made a bow to Zhao Yong, and its far-reaching significance is self-evident.

Que Guanzi said very clearly to Zhao Yong that before he was in power, everything now was in vain, and what he had to do now was to follow the three masters, listen more, ask more, see more, and think more, thoroughly understand the situation in the Central Plains, as well as Zhao Guo's own situation, so as to prepare for the future.

From this day on, Crane Guanzi lived in Handan, the capital of Zhao. Zhao Yong often went out of the city and asked him for advice. For the sake of convenience, he decided to visit the elderly over eighty years old in Handan City every month, and became customized.

As soon as this order came out, the people celebrated with their foreheads, and they all thought that although Zhao Yong was young, he already had the image of a saint. Many people even saw Zhao Yong come out to visit the old people in the city, competing to follow, and some of them continued to stuff special products into Zhao Yong's arms, which had the meaning of saying goodbye to the People's Liberation Army back then, which made Zhao Yong cry and laugh.

In this case, Zhao Yong's life has become regular. With the supervision of Feiyi, Zhao Bao and Wu Guang, as well as the constant exchange and debate with Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong quickly integrated into this world, and became more aware of how many difficulties and setbacks he faced in his grand plans.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Lap Sacrifice, and after the Lap Sacrifice, it means that the twenty-four years of Zhao Suhou are over, and next year will be the year of the Yuan Change.

In order to cooperate with the intention of the beginning, Zhao Wangcheng also hung red silk rarely, and the entire palace, after the suppression of Zhao Suhou's funeral, also began to become a little angry. The new Hou Jun is not as serious as the first monarch, and he likes to laugh very much, he does not look like the king of a country at all, and the palace people like to be close to him.

It's just that Zhao Yong prefers to be alone, and often walks alone in the corridor of the royal city, looking at the scene of Handan City for a while, and muttering to himself for a while. Even his close attendants didn't know what the monarch was thinking all day.

But the more this is the case, the more it makes some of the little palace maids in the palace have some fantasies. The king of a country, young and promising, amiable, such a lover, but he can't find it with a lantern, and most importantly, he is not married. Although in the end, she is at most a female queen, but it is much better than staying outside the palace and starving all day long.

According to the Zhou rites, the Son of Heaven established the first queen, the third lady, the ninth concubine, the twenty-seventh wife, and the eighty-one female queen. If it is really implemented according to this, the Son of Heaven will get married, and there will be a harem group of more than 100 people.

And princes like Zhao Yong are also privileged.

According to Zhao Cheng's explanation, Zhao Yong probably learned that after marrying Han Nu, one of Han Nu's nieces and a younger sister were going to follow. However, this is not the end, there are also daughters of two vassal states with the same surname to marry, for example, Yan and Wei, both of which have to send their own daughters to marry. If you think that's fine, you'd be naΓ―ve. These two daughters of the same surname will also send a sister and a niece to follow. This is the so-called "one marriage and nine daughters, two countries" system.

When Zhao Yong heard this, he went to one by himself, and added eight, no wonder during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, almost every country was related by blood, and it turned out that it was here in the final analysis. However, Zhao Yong came from later generations, and he couldn't accept the marriage of aunts and nephews like the Zhou Dynasty at all, so he hoped many times that it was best not to come to any aunt-level figures.

However, this kind of thing is not something he can do, this is etiquette. Zhao Cheng saw that what he said was useless, so he hurriedly ran to Zhao Hou for help. After much persuasion, Empress Zhao finally took a step back. Zhao Yong agreed to the two concubines of Han Nu, but the other vassal states were not sensitive.

When Empress Zhao saw Zhao Yong regressing, she knew that she couldn't force it, not to mention that in the Spring and Autumn Period, "the same surname is the same, and the different surname is not", but as there are fewer and fewer small countries, the system between different surnames has gradually increased. So if Zhao Yong can do this, it can be regarded as okay.

So, with regret and sighs for Zhao Yong's incomprehensible amorous style, Zhao Cheng embarked on the road to South Korea to seek relatives.
