Chapter 43: The Unexpected "Han Feizi"
Han Fei failed to visit the paper workshop as he wished, when they were resting, Zhao Gao came to Fusu Mansion to read out Ying Zheng's will, Ying Zheng wanted to see Han Fei immediately, and gave the royal car to greet him, Zhao Gao also did his old job for this reason, and drove Han Fei to the car.

After Han Fei heard the will, he regretted that he could not see the production of paper in person, according to Tang Gu, only the best quality mulberry paper in the world is produced here, but he also knew that seeing the King of Qin was more important than anything else, and he was about to take advantage of the King of Qin's good impression of him, how could he be disgusted by the King of Qin, so he had to leave in a hurry with Zhao Gao. Before leaving Fusu's mansion, Fusu gave Han Fei some pen, ink and paper, and Han Fei gave a box back to Fusu, looking at the reluctance on the coachman's face, Fusu was very curious about what would be inside.
Fusu returned to his study, Meng An stepped forward and put the inconspicuous wooden box on the table and opened it, took out the things inside and handed it to Fusu, Fusu found that this was actually several paper books, could it be "Han Feizi"? I can't help but be more interested. Except for the "Thirty-six Strategies" that was torn apart by Huan Qi and the transcribed books arranged by Wei Yi, this was the first time he had seen a paper book in several months.
The books are untouched, and the twine threading the paper together is so rough that there is not even a cover; The books are neat, the pages are flat and neat, without the slightest wrinkle; There are seven of these books in total, and each book is the main text except for the title, and there is no preface and other messy things, which is very sincere and confident of the author. Each book has articles ranging from two to more than a dozen, for a total of 53 articles. Among them, Yingzheng once designated Fusu to study "Youdu" and other articles, and Fusu realized that he had already studied part of "Han Feizi".
Fusu couldn't wait to put the top book on the table and read it carefully. "Five beetles: In the ancient world, there were few people and many beasts ......"
After the teaching of Li Si and Wei Yi, Fusu no longer rejects the ancient texts of the pre-Qin period, and can even be said to like them, because he has read so many books in the past few years that he knows that most of the articles at this time are concise and substantial, and they are catchy, subdued, and very charming; It's not that it's so condescending and incomprehensible in my old impression of time and space.
Compared with the history books and laws that Li Si asked him to read and the military books and war strategies that Wei Yi asked him to read, Han Fei's article does not have a mysterious and mysterious mandate of heaven, nor a boring stereotyped record, nor does it have a chilling killing atmosphere, but is full of concise expositions and witty stories, so it is easier to understand and fascinating. Before he knew it, Xiling had already lit a candle in the study, and it wasn't until Yinggao ran to his study that he was going to have dinner, and Fusu came back to his senses.
He had already read five books and forty-seven articles in the box, and the more he read, the more he admired Han Fei's talent, if it wasn't given to him by Han Fei, he wouldn't have believed that these books were written by Han Fei. At the same time, he became more and more confused, wondering if this was the real "Han Feizi"!
He found traces of the old time and space in the book that Han Fei gave him, or the content that he was very familiar with in the old time and space. He picked up the paper he had made an excerpt on, swept his eyes slightly, and found that he had written on it the texts of the old time and space elementary school, such as self-contradiction, waiting for the rabbit, avoiding illness and avoiding doctors, and indiscriminately filling the numbers, and other common idioms in the old time and space, such as Fa Bu Gui, Blockbuster, Flashy, Sweaty Achievements, Outline, Deep-rooted, Rabbit Dead Dog Cooking, etc., which are often seen in ordinary speech or life, and also recorded the common famous sayings and aphorisms of the old time and space, such as the speed is not reached, the far water does not save the near fire, and the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill.
Fusu was trapped in the shock of "Han Feizi" for a long time, and secretly knew this old man Niu Fork in his heart, but he didn't expect that this stammering old man, such a bull fork, the five books together should not exceed 100,000 words, there are so many fables, idioms, and famous sayings and aphorisms that have been circulated in the world. You must know that Chinese idioms have never been determined by any one person, but the choice of the broadest masses of the people in the long history of life, you can imagine how "approachable" and deeply rooted Han Fei's articles are, I am afraid that "Han Feizi" is far more easy to understand than the poems written by Bai Juyi! This happened when Han Fei died early, and Fusu silently told himself that he must save Han Fei's life.
He picked up another piece of paper, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and opened Han Fei's book according to the record on the paper, and found that he was indeed not mistaken, and he didn't know what to do for a while. It turned out that on this second piece of paper was centralization, autocracy, respect for law, science, three outlines, book burning, Confucianism, ban on ink, suppression of business, and heavy punishment...... It wasn't until Yinggao took the paper in his hand away that he realized that he had made Yinggao and the three of them wait for a long time, but the doubts in his heart still couldn't be solved, so he could only put it down first.
Fusu smiled apologetically at the three younger brothers and said loudly, "Let's go, let's eat." It seems that the determination to save Han Fei is strengthened in this way.
In the palace of King Qin, the banquet where Yingzheng entertained Han Fei had dispersed, and Han Fei was also sent back to the Zhaoxian Pavilion. Ying Zheng sat in the side hall of Zhangtai Palace, under the cover of candlelight, holding a piece of paper in his hand and looking at it repeatedly, this is the book presented by Han Fei. Ying Zheng was a little disappointed when he saw that there was only this piece of paper and the rest were bamboo slips, but he didn't expect Han Fei to take out a closed bamboo tube from his sleeve, pull out the seal, take out the paper and quill, and start writing, explaining that he gave Fusu the books that King Qin was looking forward to, and Fusu gave back a tube of ink, several geminies and several boxes of mulberry paper.
Ying Zheng has seen a lot of articles written by Han Fei, and every time he reads them, he will be able to communicate with his mind, "to be in the center", "the law is not noble", "take the law as the teaching, and the officials as the teacher"...... It's hard to put into words.
This is the only article written on paper, which Han Fei named "Saving Han", which is also straight to the point, directly revealing the purpose of Han Fei's visit to Qin. It's just that this article is only 600 words, full of Han Qin's friendship, only saying that he should not attack South Korea, but he did not say what benefits it would give Qin if he did not attack South Korea, and he could keep his promise to postpone the attack on South Korea, but Han Fei wanted to use these 600 words to make the ministers of the DPRK and China change their minds, I am afraid it is not easy. Putting down the paper, Ying Zheng spread out a stack of bamboo slips and threw himself into the scroll he had longed for.
At this time, Han Fei also did not sleep in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, he came all the way west from Korea like his own teacher, carefully observed the entire Great Qin, and had already seen the strength of the Qin State on the way. Today, I saw Fusu, who is known as a prodigy, and Yingzheng, who aspires to dominate the world, and I only feel that the future of South Korea is as dark as this house without candles, and there is no light. Even if Ying Zheng fails to unify the world, he will definitely destroy the Six Kingdoms with his ability to support the Su, not to mention that with his own observation, Ying Zheng himself is a promising king, and he is also accompanied by Wang Zuo's talent and good generals: among the strategists, there are talented and learned Li Si, who is appreciated by the teacher, Wei Yi, who is not weaker than Li Si, plus Dun Weak, Yao Jia, and Spear Jiao; The generals are endless, when Meng Qian died, he was still glad for South Korea, but he didn't expect to have a more capable Wang Qian, in addition, Huan Qi, Yang Duanhe can also be independent, it is said that Wang Qian's son Wang Ben and Meng Tian, the grandson of Meng Fei, are also beginning to emerge in the army. Today's hundreds of words of "Saving Han" to King Qin probably can't change King Qin's mind.
