Chapter 367: Power is a Good Thing

Shang Ying looked at his son's smiling face, hugged his son in his arms, and burst into tears.

This year, he has already foreseen the end of his fate.

Die! You may die, you may be punished by the whole family. As for how he died? He doesn't know! Car cracks! He couldn't believe it.

Of course! As long as Qin Xiaogong always believes in him, there will be no big problem.

It's just that! The young Qin Xiaogong became ill due to overwork, and he died after not living for many years, without waiting for the Qin State to become truly strong, and not waiting for the day when the Qin State would dominate the world.

As soon as Qin Xiaogong died, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, which was equivalent to a change of dynasty.

It is conceivable that you once severely punished the prince and cut off the nose of the prince's teacher. Now that the prince has become a king, can he not clean you up?

This is a predictable result!

You have carried out reforms on a large scale, which has seriously affected the luxurious life of the magnates and weakened their power. Your "change" is like a sharp sword, hanging above the heads of the powerful, will people let you live well?

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, but Qin Xiaogong is not a tiger, he is a Ming monarch. It's a pity! God is jealous of the talent and died early.

If he could live to be seventy or eighty years old, or longer, and not change kings for decades, he would maintain it single-handedly, and join hands with Shang Ying to govern the Qin State, and the history of the Qin State would be even more brilliant. Oriental history is definitely different.

It can only be said! At that time, there was a problem with the hereditary aristocracy, and if the power was in the hands of some people, you would not be able to make a name for yourself as a grassroots. Others are deeply entrenched, intertwined, and too powerful.

Seeing this, Bai Mei knelt down and hugged her husband and son, crying.

She likes Shang Ying, not only because Shang Ying is handsome, knowledgeable, and an official, but also because she is attracted by his personality charm. Or rather! I was touched by Shang Ying's dedication.

Shang Ying's dedication is similar to his own father Bai Gui.

Daddy Bai Gui was also enthusiastic back then, serving the country and the people. Do business first and help the poor people in the world. Later, he was invited by King Wei Hui to be an official. I thought that I had found a place where I could give full play to my talents, and took advantage of the opportunity to be an official in Wei to develop Wei into a strong and wealthy country. Outcome! But disappointed.

King Wei Hui did not think for the people and was bent on fighting for hegemony. As long as Wei has a little bit of financial resources, he will start a war and use it to make war money.

Political disagreement, Bai Gui had to leave the Wei officialdom and continue to do business. At last! has become today's giant businessman - the world's richest.

In fact! Daddy Baekyu doesn't have much money of his own at all. His money, in addition to supporting his wife and children, was all bet on business. And the money in the business does not belong to him personally, but to the owner of the caravan.

So! Bai Gui is not the world's richest, but he can accumulate the world's wealth.

All the actions of Daddy Bai Gui are for the poor people in the world. And the husband and the merchant are also for the people of the world and for the progress of human civilization.

The husband and the merchant want to rule the world by law, so that the world has laws to follow, and the world is orderly.

The rule of law in the world is different from the etiquette system and the Zhou system of the Zhou Dynasty.

The ritual system and the Zhou system of the Zhou Dynasty, at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, played a certain role in allowing the Zhou Dynasty to have a heyday. But! Then there was a problem, and those in power no longer complied. They use the weekly system and weekly rites to restrain others, but they themselves are above the weekly system and weekly rites, resulting in chaos in the world.

At that time, Zhou Tianzi, because he delegated power to the princes below, his power was hollowed out, and he existed in name only. Outcome! If the powerful people below are disobedient, he can't control them, and he can't play the role of the Son of Heaven.

Therefrom! The world is in chaos.

And now! The husband and the merchant adopt the rule of law, and everything must be done in accordance with the provisions of the law. Whoever does not do what the law does, he will be punished severely.

And the rule of law in the world also needs power! Without power, who will enforce the law?

So! The husband needs to rely on the king for support.

But! Here's the problem! It is good for you to implement the reform of the law, which is conducive to the progress of human civilization, but you have touched the nerves of the powerful, and you have seriously affected the luxurious life of the powerful.

You have made the people better, but you have made the magnates sad.

So! You have offended the powerful.

You have the hearts of the people, but the people have no power, they have little power, what is the use of supporting you?

In this case, it is also difficult for the king to do it. He wanted to serve the people, carry out reforms, and strengthen the Qin state. It is also necessary to deal with the magnates and do ideological and political work among the magnates. If you offend the magnates, your position as king will be over.

Qin Xiaogong was a new monarch, and he was young when he took over as king. So! He doesn't have much power.

Part of the power given to him by his father-in-law was still in the hands of other ministers.

During the father-in-law's time, the old minister obeyed the father-in-law. And when it comes to him, if you follow your father's line, they will support you. If you try to find a different way, they may not support it.

Now the key question is! Qin Xiaogong not only did not follow his father's route, but also touched the nerves of these old magnates, violated the interests of these old magnates, and affected the luxurious life of the old magnates.

And at this time, these old ministers from the father-in-law period not only do not hand over power to you, but may also become oppositionists.

As you can imagine! Qin Xiaogong's position in the Qin State at that time was also precarious, and there were variables at any time.

Under such circumstances, Shang Ying still insisted on changing the law, which required courage. Qin Xiaogong is the same! He supported Shang Ying's reform of the law, but he took risks. An accident! And his position as king was done.

But! That's it! For the cause of mankind and the progress of human civilization, the two of them risked death to persevere.

In this period! Qin Xiaogong is the same as Shang Ying, both of them know the variables that may occur at any time, and they fall short. But? If you don't reform, the Qin State will not be strong. So! Even if you know there is a risk, you have to stick to it.

It is precisely for this reason that Qin Xiaogong later gave Shang Ying the land of Shangzhou and gave him power.

After so many years of working together, Qin Xiaogong has already seen that Shang Ying is not the kind of person who "steals the country". People are just people who are bent on changing the law, serving the people wholeheartedly, and devoting themselves to the progress of human civilization.

Furthermore! For the sake of human happiness, Qin Xiaogong has no intention of inheriting the title of his family and being a king for generations.

People have looked down on these and regarded the cause of humanity as their own. Ideological consciousness has transformed from the concept of family to the height of human beings.

It is precisely because of this that there were later charges such as "Shang Ying's rebellion".

Yingsi is not a faint king, he continues to advocate change. But! In order to get the support of Uncle and others, he had to kill Shang Ying. Furthermore! The Shang Martingale Transformation Method has basically matured. That's probably how the change has been, so! It doesn't matter if you want to be martingale or not. Since you are all going to kill him, then I will kill him!

I killed Shang Ying, and if any of you oppose the change of law or something, I will kill you again!

In order to balance power and interests, and for the sake of his throne, Ying Si had to kill Shang Ying.

Of course! That's all for later.

Right now! Shang Ying and the others had already predicted their future results!

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law hugging each other and crying, Bai Gui was just as sad.

He is a white returnee, a person who has crossed over from the afterlife, and knows this history.

Shang Ying's perseverance and dedication moved Bai Gui very much. In front of Shang Ying, is our ideological consciousness and realm too low?
