Zhao Yong also heard Father Jun and Taifu Feiyou Tong talk about Qi Xiangguan Zhong, saying that he was a great character, and he was full of praise for him. Guan Zhong has been the prime minister for more than 40 years, assisting his lord, expelling the barbarians, supporting the righteous path, and establishing the first hegemon. Zhao Yong thought to himself? If there is a talented, strategic, and loyal person like Guan Zhong to assist him, why can't Zhao be proud of the princes and countries.

Zhao Yong let out a lengthy sigh slightly, Qi Heng Gongsheng was really lucky in that era, and he was assisted by an outstanding person like Guan Zhong. Duke Qi Heng can not only respect the king and attack the mountains in the north. Also, the princes of Jiuhe, the world. Qi Henggong is majestic, worthy of being a man among men. Its merits and great deeds are all reminiscent and yearning.

Zhao Yong picked up the emotion in his heart, picked up another bamboo slip from the desk, handed it to Tian Buli, and said, "Doctor, what do you think of this person?" ”

Tian Buli humbly took the bamboo slip, straightened his body, unfolded the bamboo slip with a light car, and saw that it was the "Book of Shang Jun", then closed it and threw the bamboo slip aside.

Zhao Yong asked, "Doctor Shang, why don't you keep watching." ”

Tian Buli shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's okay not to read this kind of book." ”

Qin Guo had a very high opinion of the Book of Shang Jun. The Qin State also regarded him as a legal classic. However, in the hands of Tian Buli, it was worthless and was thrown away. Zhao Yong, full of doubts, said: "The Qin State changed the law with Shang Ying, and its national strength increased greatly, defeating the Wei State in a row and overwhelming the Chu State. The Book of Shang Jun records the bitter process of the Qin State's reform of the law, as well as the experience of the Shang Jun's change of law. Doctor, why did you abandon him like a suit? ”

Tian Buli, the corners of his mouth hooked an indifferent arc, obviously to the king's words, dare not agree. Zhao Yong looked at him in a daze, wanting to hear the senior argument from the doctor. Tian Buli pointed to the Book of Shang Jun and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has become stronger, do you think it is really because of Shang Jun." ”

Zhao Yong, after a pause, said: "The Qin State has defeated three Jin in a row and overwhelmed the Chu State, which is the best proof. ”

"The Qin State can have today, and it is inseparable from the merits of the middle concubine. But the strength of the Qin State is not the work of the middle concubine alone. Everyone in the world knows that the merit of the middle concubine does not know the way of Qin Xiaogong. If it weren't for Qin Xiaogong's mind to the world, he had a pair of eyes that knew people and could be capable, and he would be a concubine and become famous. Tian Buli saw that the monarch was confused, and asked: "Your Majesty, the middle concubine has been the prime minister of Qin for ten years, presiding over the change of the law, and the national strength of the Qin State has increased greatly. The Qin State can have today, because of the contribution of the middle concubine. However, why did a generation of heroes die. Or the most brutal of the death penalty... The punishment of the split car of the five horses. When Qin Gong Yingsi succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to kill the great heroes of the Qin State, so he was not afraid of being infamous in the next life? Yingsi's qi is so small that it can't tolerate people. ”

Why did the hero die, this is a question worth pondering. Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, "Shang Ying, if you offend Yingsi and the ministers of the Qin State, you will end up in such a field." ”

"Your Majesty, I only know one but I don't know the other." Tian Buli said coldly: "Ying Ji is the younger brother of Yingsi's half-brother. The talent of winning the disease is also praised in the vassal states. If it is said that Zhongshuzi's change of law offended Yingsi and the ministers of Qin. Why did Qin Xiaogong choose Yingsi instead of winning the throne. ”

Zhao Yong said: "Ying Si is a concubine, and winning a disease is a concubine." The gift of Ji Zhou cannot be abolished, nor can it be abolished. Winning the disease as a king, not only ruined the etiquette, but also made it difficult for the Qin State to be peaceful. ”

Tian Buli secretly said: "The king is worthy of being a child who grew up under the influence of Ji Zhou's etiquette and Confucian learning. The elder system is deeply rooted! ”

Ji Zhou's rites, following the patriarchal system of the principle of succession and sequential succession, that is, the throne is inherited by the eldest son born to the queen, if the eldest son dies early, there is a son that is established as his son, and if there is no child, the second son will inherit in order. Only in the case of the absence of children in the queen is the eldest son of the concubine is considered. If the king has no children, the successor will be selected according to the order of Mu Qinshu. This system was designed to avoid internal strife within the imperial family due to the struggle for the throne, and to maintain the relative stability of the succession of the imperial throne.

Secondly, the eldest grandson inherits. King Zhou Ping moved east, the crown prince died early, and the eldest grandson, King Zhou Heng, succeeded to the throne.

However, in addition to the above two inheritance systems, the Qin and Zhao states also broke the limitations of the Zhou rites. The eldest grandson is not capable enough to be the king, so hand over the country to him, and the country will not die. The succession system of the princes of Qin and Zhao has one more choice, which is to choose the virtuous. Therefore, before Zhao Jianzi Ying's death, the position of suzerain was not the son of the world, but the son Zhao Wuxi, who was born from the servant Zhai people, succeeded him. Qin Xiangong's successor chose Yingquliang instead of his eldest son, Yingqian.

Before Yingquliang died, he won the disease but did not stand Yingsi, which is also in line with the law of the ancestors. However, Yingquliang chose Yingsi instead of winning the disease, which is Yingsi's talent far above winning the disease. Qin Xiaogong firmly believed that Yingsi could control the ministers of Qin State well and reorganize the majesty of Qin. The moment Yingquliang chose Yingsi, he was ready to throw out Shangjun in his heart. Shang Jun's ending is only one death.

"Your Majesty, the state of Qin carried out reforms in the country during the reign of Qin Xiangong, among which the abolition of the centuries-old system of human martyrdom, the relocation of the capital to Liyang, the expansion of commercial activities, the establishment of household registration and the promotion of the county system, and several wars to recover the lost territory in Hexi. Due to the internal strife of Qin, the overall national strength declined. The Wei State changed the law and flourished, and the Wei State at that time was too powerful, and the vassal states did not dare to compete with it, so how could the Qin State be his opponent. Qin Xiangong's fiasco, Yingqu Liang vividly remembered, and also stimulated the heart of a young man who was only about twenty years old at that time. Yingqu Liang made an oath in front of his father's couch that he would revitalize the national strength one day and be ashamed. Yingquliang succeeded to the throne, reminding himself all the time not to forget the legacy of the ancestors. He reigned for more than 20 years, and he worked diligently to promote recuperation and reform. Tian Buli took a deep breath and said, "The strength of the Qin State is the foundation of the efforts of the ancestors of the Qin State and the overlord of the Qin State. Zhongshuzi was lucky, and caught up with the revival of the Qin State. Your Majesty, the middle concubine has been the prime minister of Qin for more than ten years, and he has changed the law twice, a great hero of the Qin State? However, after the death of Yingquliang, the middle concubine was beheaded in the city and was in the punishment of car splitting, and no one in the court of Qin State pleaded for it, and there was no commotion in Qin State. Here's why. ”

Zhao Yong said, "Please give advice to the doctor." ”

"The law of the concubine has aroused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and it is unpopular. Otherwise, how could the concubine not have a friend before he died. If the concubine does not die, it will be difficult for the Qin State to survive forever! Tian Buli said loudly: "The princes all know the law of Shangjun, but they don't know the way of Qin Xiaogong." If it weren't for the work of Yingqu Liang, how could the Qin State be strong. If it weren't for the power of Qin Gong Yingsi and his ministers, how could Yingsi be the capital of the king. The minister thinks that the law of the middle concubine is not advisable, and the law of the merchant monarch is harsh and tyrannical, and destroys human nature. In particular, even sitting is even more intolerable. The law of the middle concubine's joint sitting, one person violates the law, and the group sits together. On the surface, it looks unassailable, and it can unite people to deal with foreign enemies. But in order to comply with the law, the people of Qin State will have sons to mention their fathers, fathers to guard against sons, brothers to turn against each other, wives to separate, and no one around them is trustworthy. The family that used to feel warm couldn't find the feeling of home, and lived in panic all day long. I'm afraid that when I wake up, I will be sat together, and my death is unknown. The trust between people is gone!

In order to become stronger, the middle concubine did everything he could, messing up etiquette. The people have no freedom, no thought, no benevolence, righteousness, morality, courtesy, righteousness, and shame. Even the conscience of man has been erased. Zhongshuzi trained an army for the Qin State, no, it should be said that it was a devil from hell who would only cut off the heads of others to prove his military exploits. It is better to destroy such a country. ”

Zhao Yong's expression froze, chewing on the words from the doctor. Shang Jun's law does have too many undesirable points. Otherwise, the princes and nations will not use the book of Shang Jun.

Tian Buli said: "Your Excellency has ever heard the "Yellow Bird" sung by the Qin people."

Zhao Yong nodded, and raised his voice: "Hand over the yellow bird, stop at the thorns." Who from Mu Gong? The car is dying.

This is dying, the special of centurions. In its hole, I am worried.

He is the sky, and he destroys my beloved. If it can be redeemed, people will be alive!

Handed over to the yellow bird, stopped at the mulberry. Who from Mu Gong? The car is in the middle of the line.

Maintain this mid-line, the defense of the hundreds. In its hole, I am worried.

He is the sky, and he destroys my beloved. If it can be redeemed, people will be alive!

Handed over to the yellow bird, stopped at Chu. Who from Mu Gong? Sub-car Tiger.

This tiger is the king of the hundreds. In its hole, I am worried.

He is the sky, and he destroys my beloved. If it can be redeemed, people will be alive! ”

Tian Buli listened attentively, and the heavenly sound from Jun Shang's throat was intoxicated, and said: "Your Excellency, the living burial system of the Qin people is cruel enough. The law of the middle concubine, compared with it, is more than a hundred times. It is reported that Zhongshuzi was born in the Wei State, but was not reused by Wei Poppy. Gongsun Acne once suggested that Wei Poppy should be killed if he didn't use it. Wei Poppy not only did not kill him, but let him leave the country safely. Your Majesty, is Wei Poppy confused? ”

Zhao Yong said with a smile: "Wei Hou, shrewd as a monkey, how can he be confused." ”

Tian Buli nodded and said, "So far, Wei Poppy is still as shrewd as a monkey, let alone more than thirty years ago. ”

Zhao Yong seems to understand something. Wei Poppy does not reuse Shang Jun, not because Shang Jun is not virtuous enough, nor because Wei has too many talents. The Wei State has gone through Wu Qi, Li Kui, and Ximen Leopard's changes, and I have never seen any big scenes. The good policy submitted by Shang Jun to Wei Poppy was contrary to Wei's policy of governing the country. Wei Poppy also understands that the method of concubines is not enough. killed him, but fulfilled the name of the concubine.

Tian Buli took out a few circles of books from the desk, handed them to Junshang, and said, "Sir, these books are what you should read." Your Majesty, you have to absorb the essence of this. ”

Zhao Yong stabilized his mind, picked up a volume, and exclaimed: "This is my ancestor's book. ”

"Not bad." Tian Buli said with a smile: "It was written by the ancestor of the Zhao family." ”

"The widow only heard of Jian Xiang's martyrdom." Zhao Yong, holding the scroll, couldn't put it down, and said happily: "I didn't know that my ancestor of the Zhao family also wrote such a good article." ”

"Your Majesty, you are the seventh descendant of Jianzi, the ancestor of the Zhao family." Tian Buli saw the eyes of the monarch staring at him, and continued: "When the Duke of Jin Zhao, the clan was weak, the power of the doctor was strong, Zhao Jianzi was the doctor, specializing in state affairs, committed to reform, and set a precedent for the reform of the law of Wei Wenhou Li Kui and the reform of Qin Xiao Gongshang Martingale in later generations. Zhao Jianzi was an outstanding politician, military strategist, diplomat, and reformer. The laws of the Jin Kingdom are all engraved in the Jinyang Criminal Ding, and the laws of the Zhao Kingdom all come from this. Zhao Jianzi was the founder of the foundation of Zhao in the Warring States Period, an active promoter of the social reform of the county system, and a practitioner of pre-Qin Legalism. ”

The ancestors of the Zhao family, Zhao Wu and Zhao Ying, once dominated the political arena of the Jin State and shined among the princes and countries. The Zhao family is majestic, and it is also famous for the princes. Zhao Yong closed his eyes and remembered the past. Recalling the past, the eventful years, said: "In this life, revitalize my Zhao family's majesty, and it will last forever." ”
