Chapter 42: Right and Wrong

Shi Min rode a horse and staggered back to Xihuahou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Li Ma drying dried meat in the yard. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Mama Li saw Shi Min coming back and asked, "Childe, have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten, Mama Li will go and get you something to eat. ”

Shi Min had just vomited, and when he heard Mama Li ask him if he wanted to eat, he immediately thought of the human flesh that Shi Hu said, and suddenly became disgusted again, he forcibly said to Mama Li: "I've eaten, Mama Li, go get busy." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran away. Mama Li stood in confusion, feeling a little inexplicable, and said to herself, "What's wrong with this little guy today?" Didn't you love to eat my cooking before? ”

Shi Mintu's face was pale, his mind was full of pictures of killing people and eating meat, and he was really disgusting, and at this time, a gentle voice came from behind him: "Childe, what's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

When Shi Min heard that it was Qin Wan's voice, he quickly wiped his mouth, turned around, and said with a smile to Qin Wan: "It's okay, I just ate something in the palace, and I was a little sick to my stomach." ”

"Huh? The things in the palace are all eaten by the emperor's ladies, it should be delicious, how can it be nauseated? Is Childe not feeling well? Shall I call a doctor for you? Qin Wan said, turning around and leaving.

"Don't ......," Shi Min grabbed Qin Wan's hand.

Qin Wan was suddenly stopped by Shi Min's hand, her heart beat a little faster, her face was red, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shi Min, then slowly withdrew her hand and whispered: "If the son is uncomfortable, he should let the doctor take a look." ”

"I'm fine......" Shi Min was also a little embarrassed and replied in a low voice.

"It's okay...... I'll go back to my room first. After Qin Wan finished speaking, she lowered her head and ran away.

Shi Min looked at Qin Wan's back, and then looked at the hand that had just grabbed Qin Wan, and actually stood there and smirked.

"Childe, what are you laughing at standing there alone?" Xu San asked while standing not far away.

Shi Min was startled by this sudden voice, and immediately put his hands behind his back, pretending to be calm and said, "No...... When did I laugh? ”

Xu San was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you already returned from the palace?" ”

"yes, just came back."

"I thought you would not come back until around Shenshi, so I didn't let Mama Li keep your food, are you hungry or not, do you want Mama Li to make you something to eat, I just asked someone to slaughter a sheep this morning."

As soon as Shi Min heard the mutton, he immediately thought of human flesh again, and suddenly became disgusted again.

Xu San saw that Shi Min's reaction was a little strange, and stepped forward and asked, "Childe, what's wrong with you?" “

Shi Min forcibly endured his nausea and said to Xu San: "Don't mention meat to me these days, it will be disgusting to hear." “

"Huh?" Xu Sanyi didn't react for a while.

Shi Min explained: "I was just eating with His Majesty in the palace, and he asked me what meat was the best, and I guessed for a long time and didn't guess correctly, but His Majesty told me that it was human flesh, and he also said that he had eaten it, and the best meat for babies and girls was eaten." So now I get sick when I hear meat. “

Xu San listened to Shi Min's words, his face suddenly darkened, he was silent for a while, and said to Shi Min: "Childe, remember not to mention this matter in front of the general. “

Shi Min was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, nodded and said, "I understand." “

Xu San glanced at Shi Min and turned around to leave.

"Third Uncle Xu, what are you going to do here?" Shi Min saw that Xu San was holding a few pieces of cloth in his hand, so he asked.

"The general ordered me to arrange for you to make clothes, and you will wear them to the festival the day after tomorrow, the time is in a hurry, I will arrange this matter first, if the son is fine, go and talk to the general."

"Okay, then there will be Third Uncle Lao Xu in this matter."

Xu San nodded slightly, then turned around and left.

Shi Min touched his stomach, in fact, he was already hungry, but when he thought of eating, he remembered the human flesh that Shi Hu told him in the palace, and he lost his appetite in an instant.

Shi Min walked towards Shi Zhan's house, and before he entered the door, he heard Qin Huaishan and Shi Zhan talking and laughing.

Shi Min knocked lightly on the door, Qin Huaishan and Shi Zhan followed the prestige, and saw Shi Min standing at the door, Qin Huaishan stood up first and greeted Shi Min: "Son, is this coming back from the palace?" “

Shi Min stepped into the door and replied, "I just came back, didn't you disturb Mr. and my father's conversation?" “

Qin Huaishan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "No, no, the old man is just chatting casually with the general." “

"Came back so early this time? My husband and I thought you would come back around the hour. Shi Zhan said as he lay on the bed.

Shi Min wanted to say that Shi Hu had said about eating human flesh in the palace before, but he immediately remembered that Xu San had just told him not to mention Shi Hu's eating human flesh in front of Shi Zhan, so he held back the words when he came to his lips.

"What? looks like he wants to speak and stops. Shi Zhan saw that something seemed wrong with Shi Min and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs today, so he didn't keep me, so I came back early." Shi Min hurriedly told a lie and confused the past.

"It's okay, sit down, you don't have to go to the barracks for the next two days, stay at home and talk to your father, and ask Mr. for advice."

"General, don't torture the old man, the son is very smart, how can the old man teach such an excellent young man?" Qin Huaishan said with some embarrassment.

"I wonder what my father and my husband were discussing just now? It seems to be a good chat. Shi Min asked as he sat down.

Qin Huaishan also sat down and replied, "We are talking about the person of King Yingzheng of Qin. “

"King Qin Yingzheng? Isn't he a tyrant? Shi Min asked.

Qin Huaishan and Shi Zhan looked at each other and smiled, and then Shi Zhan asked him, "How can you see that he is a tyrant?" ”

Shi Min talked eloquently and said: "This history book is written, he burned books and pit Confucianism, worked hard and lost money to build the underground palace, built the Afang Palace on a large scale, and recruited millions of people to build the Great Wall, the people of the world can't stand this harsh Qin law, so there is Chen Sheng Wu Guang's Daze Township uprising, followed by the world's heroes, and finally Liu Han took the country, if the first emperor is not a tyrant, how can he be taken away?" ”

"Then I don't know if Gongzi thinks Qin Shi Huang has anything remarkable?" Qin Huaishan asked him with a smile.

Shi Min looked at Shi Zhan and Qin Huaishan, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I really can't think of anything about Qin Shi Huang that I can admire. ”

"What Childe said, it is not difficult to see that Childe is familiar with the "Historical Records", but the old man here has some opinions, I wonder if Childe is interested in listening to it?"

Shi Min leaned forward slightly, and said to Qin Huaishan, "Sir, please advise." ”

I saw Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and said seriously: "Although the first emperor has a great fault, his merits are really rare through the ages. ”

Qin Huaishan said, slowly stood up and walked to the window, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and then said: "The Zhou family fell apart, the heroes competed for the Central Plains, and the princes all wanted to dominate the rivers and mountains, but no one could have such a strong strategy, until the Qin Xiaogong Qin State changed the law to become strong, after several generations of Qin kings' hard work, and finally when Yingzheng reigned, the Great Qin swallowed the rivers and mountains, unified the six countries, and ended the war that lasted for hundreds of years. ”

Shi Min asked: "What Mr. said, I also know, as Mr. said, Great Qin was able to annex the Six Kingdoms, and he was largely stained with the light of his father's ancestors, and the previous generations of Qin kings left a deep foundation of national strength for him to pacify the Six Kingdoms, is it a bit far-fetched to judge his merits?" ”

Qin Huaishan shook his hand and replied with a smile: "Son, listen to the old man, the reason why the old man said that the first emperor is in the future is naturally based on it. First of all, this Qin State was not the first to rise, and the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons had the opportunity to end the situation of the princes competing for hegemony. Far from it, let's just say that this Zhao Xiaocheng King, his grandfather King Wuling, used Hufu cavalry to create the strongest cavalry among the countries at that time, which once made the Qin army unable to get out of Hangu Pass. During the reign of his father King Huiwen, Zhao Guowu had Lian Po, Zhao Hao and Li Mu, Wen Youxian was similar to each other, and the military force and national strength were unprecedentedly strong. As a result, the virtue and ability of King Zhao Xiaocheng are not as good as his father's ancestors, what happened after inheriting the powerful Zhao State? The battle of Changping buried more than 400,000 elites of Zhao in vain, if Yingzheng is also as dumb as King Zhao Xiaocheng, what can his father and ancestors do to him no matter how big the foundation is? ”

Qin Huaishan said, smiled and looked at Shi Min and Shi Zhan, both of them nodded silently, Qin Huaishan continued: "Second, the princes have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the Confucian saint said that the rites collapsed and the music was bad, and this bad thing is not just the ritual music? The country needs to be unified, and the people's hearts need to be unified. When the Seven Kingdoms coexisted, the languages of the countries were different, the currencies were different, the measurements were different, and so on, if there was no Qin Shi Huang to unify the currency, the weights and measures, and the unified writing, I am afraid that history will be rewritten, right? ”

Qin Huaishan paused, and then said: "As for the book burning pit Confucianism, we are not emperors, and there are some things that we naturally cannot experience, but since ancient times, this emperor's technique, if we taste it carefully, it is actually not difficult to understand." The sons of the Warring States period all want to become a policy for governing the country. At the beginning of the Six Kingdoms, the people's hearts were unstable, and Yingzheng burned books and pit Confucianism in order to unify the beliefs of the world, and at the same time achieve the purpose of fooling the people and benefiting the rule. ”

Shi Zhan nodded and said: "Sir's opinion on this book-burning pit Confucianism is not unreasonable, in the early Han Dynasty, Huang Lao's technique was used to govern the country and recuperate, and Huang Lao's technique would be ruled by inaction, so his attitude towards the Xiongnu was also weak. Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne and advocated Confucianization, so he chased the Xiongnu in the north, Baiyue in the south, and the Dawanyue kingdom in the west, creating the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. ”

Qin Huaishan said with a smile: "What the general said is exactly this truth. ”
