During the day, Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong were busy most of the time. One in the Lord, one outside the Lord. Shang Ying presided over the affairs of the internal legislative council, and wrote various laws day and night. Qin Xiaogong presided over the government of the Qin State: promoting various reforms and supervising various reforms.

Only when there is an emergency, the two get together, discuss, think of solutions, and anticipate various risks.

In addition to handling the affairs stipulated in his duties, he spent most of his time on the side of the Legislative Council, discussing the formulation of various laws with the staff below.

As in the modern society, the national legislature organizes legal experts to write a law. And then! Collective deliberation, is this kind of regulation feasible? First of all! It must be passed internally by those who wrote the law. And then! Then it is passed by the leader. And then! Consult the opinions of the general public. And then! Conduct a trial.

A perfect law is one that can stand the test of the people and the test of facts. Through the trial, look for possible drawbacks.

The law says that he is dead, but man is alive. There are people, as well as the hostile elements and the opposition, who seem to have a genius in the law, who can find the errors and defects in the law you have made in the first place.

When they find the wrongs and the wrongs, they will make waves and destroy the laws you have worked so hard to make.

In Shang Ying's brain, countless laws are stored. Normally, he wrote these laws in "drafts" and distributed them to the members of the legislature for their perusal. And then! Everyone discussed together and revised and improved the draft.

There is power in numbers, and problems that you don't find may be discovered by others. Sometimes! Everyone disputed each other over a certain provision, and the atmosphere was very tense and enthusiastic.

Sometimes! A rule is unanimously approved by the majority, but some people do not. According to the legislature, the objections of certain persons are to be recorded.

Just like in modern society, the collegial panel of a court hears a case, and different understandings and opinions must be recorded. It is necessary for the minority to obey the majority, but it is also not necessary to erase the opinion of the minority. Because! From these different voices, it can be seen that the professional ability of a judge can be seen.

Misjudgment! Either you're cheating (taking advantage of someone else) or you're not good enough in business.

Facts are the only criterion for testing truth. Maybe? Later it turned out that the opponents were right.

When that time comes, the voice of this opponent cannot be forgotten. The facts speak! His objection is rightly. So! We have to respect him. Even! Reuse him.

After several years of legislative work, the state of Qin basically "has laws to follow".

All these years! Shang Ying was not too famous in the Qin State. But! It's not that it's not famous! Within the Qin State, in front of the magnates, he was famous. Because! His series of reform plans directly touched the nerves of the elites.

For example! Under his auspices, the prince made a mistake and cut off the nose of the prince's teacher. To know! Who is the prince's teacher? He is the prince's uncle and Qin Xiaogong's brother.

Visible! In order to promote his legal society, Shang Ying also opened up. If we don't get it right, we won't be able to carry out the reform.

It was through this incident that Shang Ying realized his future fate. But! For the sake of his own cause and the progress of human civilization, he had to carry out the reform to the end, what is the sacrifice of the individual?

It is precisely for this reason that he accepted and understood the idea of Bai Mei and his father-in-law: not to openly marry Bai Mei and not to form a legal family.

That's the only way! in order to preserve their offspring!

If there is a legal family, there are open offspring, the consequences are conceivable! Once unlucky, the whole family was punished.

And that's why! Shang Ying has always been reluctant to openly marry a wife and have children on the grounds that he is too busy with work.

If you openly marry a wife and have children? It is equivalent to framing the offspring of his wife and children! Once he is unlucky, his wife and children may be punished.

As a person! No one wants to see such a result! Albeit! You don't have to be able to see it with your own eyes. But! This is a predictable event, a result!

"When I heard that you cut off the noses of the prince's teachers, Gongzi Qian and Gongsun Jia, I was terrified! You! Bai Gui looked at Shang Ying and said anxiously.

"There is no way! This is the only way to do it! Shang Ying sighed: "The prince is innocent! But! He did make a mistake. According to the new law, there must be punishment. But! He is the future prince, what can you do with him? So! The law decrees that their teachers ...... punished"

"I heard! And that's not all! Baekyu sighed.

"Yes! The prince's teachers, Gongzi Qian and Gongsun Jia, have always been dissatisfied with the reform, and under the encouragement of the magnates, they used the prince to challenge the bottom line of Qin's laws. In fact! It's challenging the bottom line of me and Qin Gong. ”

"yes!"

"If I enforce the law strictly, I will punish them. So! I will offend them. If I do something perfunctory, it will be tantamount to slapping myself in the face, and the reform will be invalid and I will lose my credibility. So! This is giving me a problem, and no matter what I do, it will not work against me!

Other than that! It is also the bottom line to challenge Qin Gong!

If Duke Qin supports me, it is equivalent to supporting me to cut off his brother's nose. If Qin Gong is perfunctory, he will also be slapping his face. Such! Reform will not continue.

So! They are also giving Qin Gong a problem! No matter what I do, it's not good for Gong Qin! Cutting off the brother's nose is small, offending the brother and losing the support of the brother is the bane of national turmoil.

Such! not only offended the powerful brother of the elder brother, but also challenged the owner of the Qin State.

That means: Gong Qin didn't even let go of his brother, will he let you go? If you make a mistake in the future, you will be punished as well. ”

"Their trick is the poison of poison!" Bai Gui couldn't help but sigh. "There is another meaning: after this incident, you will be embarrassed by Gong Qin, even! Your relationship may be affected. So! This trick is the poison of poison! ”

He has been mixed in the officialdom of Wei for several years and has a deep experience. The struggle between the hereditary aristocracy is an invisible smoke. If you are not careful, you will fall into the way of some people, and let you go on the road of no return, and there is no place to die.

"I'm ready! Thank you! Thank you! Shang Ying said, left his seat, came to the old man Bai Gui, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed seriously.

"Why are you doing this?" Bai Gui sighed.

He understood what Shang Ying meant by kowtowing to him: it was not an ordinary kneeling salute, but! Seek understanding and accountability.

Shang Ying thanked his father-in-law for his support for his career, and he was also explaining the future. In the future, if that day comes, please help me take care of my wife and children.

"My career determines my destiny!" Shang Ying said.

"You can choose other paths to achieve your ideals. For example! You can choose to write books and give lectures to popularize the world's concept of the legal system, so why bother to gamble with your life? ”

"Daddy! Woooooo Bai Mei also came over with her son in her arms and kowtowed to her father.

Looking at his daughter and son-in-law with a resolute look, Bai Gui's eyes were a little moist.

And just when the atmosphere was quite heavy, there was the happy laughter of the nephew.

The nephew didn't know what had happened, but smiled happily. And! Also dancing.

Seeing the child's smiling face, everyone's heavy mood relaxed.
