Bai Gui was unwilling to go to see Qin Xiaogong, nor did he want to go to Shang Ying's mansion, and Shang Ying had no choice but to take him to Qin's pavilion.

The pavilion is an official inn that specializes in receiving foreign guests.

Today's capital of Qin is not so safe. Just like the situation in Qin, which is calm on the surface, it is actually an undercurrent.

Those hereditary nobles who opposed the Shang Dynasty's reform law, they did not have the Shang Dynasty's method in the court, and they could only do it behind their backs.

In the court, Shang Ying had the support of Qin Xiaogong. So! No one dared to do anything. Furthermore! Shang Ying didn't ask about the things in the court.

The division of labor between Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong was: he came up with ideas behind the scenes, formulated laws and so on. Qin Xiaogong! Take these ideas and laws to the court and proclaim them, and then implement them.

Most of the time, Shang Ying did not go to court and did not meet with the ministers of civil and military affairs. Only at critical moments will they come forward.

For example, when Qin Xiaogong couldn't explain the provisions of the law, he called Shang Ying over and asked Shang Ying to explain it to everyone.

After all! Qin Xiaogong did not study law. He is a king, and he is a scholar of management. So! There are a lot of legal provisions that he doesn't quite understand. But! He believed in Shang Ying. There are things he doesn't understand, and under Shang Ying's explanation, he can understand them.

So! He didn't read all the laws and regulations formulated by Shang Ying. Or! He looked, but didn't think carefully about what was right or wrong.

But! The civil and military ministers of the Qin State and the hereditary nobles, they studied it carefully. And then! Look for errors in the letter of the law. And then! These mistakes and inappropriateness were raised to Qin Xiaogong.

Qin Xiaogong couldn't explain it, so he would call Shang Ying over and explain it to everyone.

That's generally the case! When there were many problems, Qin Xiaogong arranged a specific time for Shang Ying to come over to solve his doubts.

Under Shang Ying's interpretation, and with the support of Qin Xiaogong, the hereditary nobles had no way to take Shang Ying. But! They were not convinced in their hearts. So! So they came up with a way to assassinate them. Or rather! to challenge your bottom line.

Just like the hereditary nobles secretly let the prince make mistakes, in fact, the prince will not and dare not make mistakes without external causes. But! In order to challenge Shang Ying's bottom line, they urged the prince to make mistakes.

Originally! The prince's teacher wanted to stop the prince from making mistakes in time, but under the hint of the hereditary nobles, he also fell into the way of others. They all have the same idea: the prince has made a mistake, what can you do with the prince?

Outcome! Shang Ying moved his real character and cut off the noses of the prince's two teachers. The persons concerned are also punished accordingly in accordance with their crimes.

That's it! Shang Ying still fell in love with the way of these assassins and offended people.

To know! Who is the prince's teacher?

One of the prince's teachers is the elder brother of the prince's uncle, Qin Xiaogong!

This uncle is not simple! He almost became the king of Qin back then. Because he had no backstage power, his father-in-law was afraid that he would not be able to control the overall situation of the Qin State, so he gave up the position of king to the current Qin Xiaogong.

Because! Qin Xiaogong's mother is powerful, and if there is someone in her mother's family, she can help her nephew become a king.

Otherwise! This uncle is the current king of Qin.

As you can imagine! You cut off the nose of such a big man, aren't you killing yourself?

This is just an example to illustrate the insidiousness of the hereditary aristocracy within the Qin state. People are good at using tricks to frame you invisibly.

Now the situation in Qin is like this: the hereditary nobles have no way to distort the law, take advantage of the loopholes of the law, and let your law contradict itself, break itself, and slap yourself in the face.

Now in the Qin State, a new profession was born: whistleblower.

According to the laws of the Qin State, as long as the facts and evidence are credible, you can get a corresponding reward. The standard of the reward has a base, how much is the lowest and how much is the highest. And then! According to the number of whistleblowers, this reward will be divided.

And also! Bonuses are offered by criminals. For example: fines. If the amount of the fine is huge, then! If you are the only one who reports it, you will receive a proportionate share of the reward.

Originally! It's just a reward mechanism that encourages people to actively report criminals. Outcome! Under the covert manipulation of the hereditary aristocracy, it becomes a profession! These whistleblowers can not only receive the rewards stipulated by the Qin State, but also receive the corresponding rewards from the hereditary nobles.

With the profession of "whistleblower", in order to survive, these people often create incidents out of nothing to provoke defense. Or! Phish, lure people into committing a crime, and then report it.

Under the "double reward", many whistleblowers used their brains to find errors and deficiencies in the laws formulated by Shang Ying.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. As long as it is a law or regulation, it can find the loopholes in disguise.

The more detailed the laws and regulations, the more contradictions there are. There are thousands of roads, and there are thousands of reasons! You may be right to explain it from this point of view. So! I'm right when I explain it from that perspective.

You say your spear is sharp and can pierce anything. He said that his shield was particularly hard and not afraid of any stimulus. Outcome! It was said, "Use your spear to pierce his shield, and your shield against his spear...... The result is contradictory.

Right now! The situation in the state of Qin was so contradictory.

The law formulated by Shang Ying is full of loopholes under the loopholes exploited by whistleblowers. Or rather! Contradictory.

Right now! In the streets and alleys of the Qin State, as well as in all public places, there are whistleblowers everywhere.

The whistleblowers in Qin State are just like the celebrity "paparazzi" in modern society, as long as the star appears, they can find it as soon as possible and pass on the news.

In the state of Qin! As long as someone commits a crime, someone will report it.

Although Shang Ying was the law-maker, he was also worried about where he "broke the law" and was reported.

If you talk to your father-in-law, Bai Gui, in the inn, you must be reported. People say that you may have a conspiracy, and ask you to explain clearly: Who did you meet in the inn? What was said? Wait a minute! Anyway! Makes you spit everything out. Otherwise! You are a spy sent by the Wei State!

Shang Ying had previously worked under his uncle acne in the Wei state, who was a relative of the monarch of the Wei state. So! You can say that you are a spy out of nothing.

If you weren't a spy, what would you do with my Qin Kingdom? Are you developing in Wei? Isn't it? You are so talented, what kind of law did you go to Qin to change?

So! I believe that you are a spy, and you are here to harm the Qin State.

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

Shang Ying had no choice but to take his father-in-law to live in the post house.

The guests of the Qin State, the guests of the king, and the guests of the Zuo Chief, the people below have no right to report.
