Chapter 042: Qin Qiong's godson

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it played a pivotal role in the history of Chinese civilization; At that time, the academic and intellectual circles were full of flowers, forming a situation in which different schools of thought among intellectuals emerged and schools of thought competed among various families, thus creating a splendid culture and art. At that time, whether it was the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons or the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, they all integrated their academics for their own use, and the Qin State chose the soldiers, legalists, and vertical and horizontal families, and in the era www.biquge.info of Yingzheng, the Qin State adopted the way of hegemony both internally and externally.

The government of destroying the six kingdoms and ruling the world was ambitious and full of confidence, and the successive victories made him form a stubborn and self-serving character, and he would never allow opposition to what he thought was right; Anyone who opposes him has only one end - death.

In the pre-Qin period, freedom of speech, the common people were not punished for their words, and some Confucian children had not yet changed their thinking, and used sharp words to criticize current affairs, and went around preaching all kinds of wrongs of Qin Shi Huang, and criticized them with a superior posture when they saw any unreasonable phenomena.

Qin Shi Huang was a person with a high desire for control, and when he saw that the Confucian children were so presumptuous, he came to him in anger to burn books and pit Confucianism, so as to warn the hundred schools.

Of course, there is still debate among historians about the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism. It's just that it's been so old that no one has found any evidence.

Why did Qin Shi Huang burn books and pit Confucianism?

The most convincing theory is because various classics record the ancient sage king's concept of governing the world, and Qin Shi Huang thought that "the three emperors of merit and the five emperors of Demai", so he wanted to replace the ancient sage king's idea of governing the world with his own concept of governing the world. Secondly, in the Four Books and Five Classics, there are many praises for the kings of the past dynasties, and the first emperor does not want to have the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to praise the first kings of the Six Kingdoms, so this is the case.

Qin Qiong's sentence "Disappearing and looking for it was deliberately done by the First Emperor, in fact, the holy sword has always been in his hands, and what he did was nothing more than to hide people's eyes." "That's said a lot.

The sword of the Holy Way - Xuanyuan and Zhenguo Jiuding were important tokens of "divine power of monarchy" in the pre-Qin period, and only with two or one of them can they surrender to the world, but these two are deeply marked by the two holy monarchs Yellow Emperor and Xia Yu, in order to imperceptibly let the people of the world forget the holy monarch, and also for the sake of the great Qin country for thousands of generations. It is obviously a matter of course that the talented Qin Shi Huang made a book burning to forget the holy monarch, and the secret holy sword was cast with a jade seal to replace the holy sword, and Jiuding was obviously a matter of course.

As it turned out, Qin Shi Huang's original strategy had been successful. Up to now, the heirloom jade seal cast by the Heshi Bi has replaced the Xuanyuan Holy Sword and Zhenguo Jiuding, and has become a holy relic of "divine power of the monarch", but unfortunately, the descendants of the Ying family cannot enjoy the original arrangement of Qin Shi Huang. Under the deliberate ugliness of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang, who dominated the world, became a famous tyrant.

The Xuanyuan Holy Sword reappears in the world, and the pros and cons coexist.

The advantage is to confirm the "fact" that Li Shimin is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and the disadvantage is that the Qin family cannot justify itself.

After thinking about it again, Qin Feng sensibly chose to keep it secret for the time being, and said: "This matter is very important, once the matter spreads, it will definitely be settled." After a careful investigation, our origin will finally be revealed to the world one day, and at that time, we will be in a passive position, even if the saint believes it now, but what about after the saint? Offering the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, will the Holy Lord ask Zhenguo Jiuding? If we offer the Holy Sword, will the Holy One doubt the origin of the Holy Sword? And these are enough to push us to the cusp. Those who hate us will definitely try their best to frame us, the holy sword can be sacrificed, but definitely not now, we must choose the right time, a right place to give it. Although the saint trusts our father and son, but 'everyone has a lot of money, and they accumulate and destroy their bones', compared to thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of generations, what are we worth? And there are many holy princes, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai are the emperor's most admired and favorite sons, and sooner or later these three will fight openly and secretly for that position. When the time comes, we can choose neutrality, but what if a certain force threatens us with our identity in order to win us over? At that time, we were never good, and we couldn't do it if we didn't. From now, I am worried that this force will eventually lose power, and then it will affect us; If you don't obey, we won't want to get through the holy level easily. My Qin family is doing a good job, and I am not afraid of all enemies, but there is no need to add unnecessary enemies. Therefore, the child thinks that everything is business as usual, and the Qin family is still from the poor Qin family. What holy sword and what Yingzheng have nothing to do with us. ”

Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, Qin Feng's analysis was reasonable. If an ordinary person gets such an astonishing secret, he will be shocked, or panicked, or immediately tell the secret to someone he can trust.

There is no doubt that the Qin family will definitely be targeted by those who have a heart because of their special background, among them, the eldest grandson Chong, who hated Qin Feng to the bone, will definitely not miss this opportunity to fall into the well, the eldest grandson Chong is not terrible, what is terrible is the poisonous snake of the eldest grandson Wuji. Once the eldest grandson Wuji grabbed the handle, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is definitely a very stupid thing to offer treasure now.

"Erlang is quick-witted, and he is finally relieved for his father." Qin Qiong smiled pointedly.

"Dad, you're testing me, aren't you?" After thinking about it for a while, Qin Feng suddenly said, "Actually, it's not necessary, because I know better than anyone what the emperor cares about." It's nothing more than thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, nothing more than the crown prince and the like, as long as we don't touch the emperor's bottom line, making a small mistake will be of great benefit. ”

Qin Qiong was very relieved to see that Qin Feng was thoughtful, this matter was very important, it was indeed not easy for Qin Feng to be able to handle everything so rationally, and sighed: "Erlang has really grown up!" At first, your mother and I wanted you to take the time to dedicate to the emperor, but after a discussion, I felt that there was no harm and no benefit, so there was this test, Erlang was thoughtful and astute, and he was at ease for his father! That's the end of it, it didn't happen! Getting involved in politics too early is not good for your future. In fact, I would prefer you to be a simple military general, rather than being all-encompassing, the stronger your ability, the more political enemies you have. At the moment, you are doing a good job and have not gotten too close to any of the princes. You must always remember: the emperor has at least thirty or forty years to live. ”

"The child understands."

Qin Feng sneered: "Some people, leaving the emperor alone, have to consider the long-term interests of the family, I really don't know what they think?" ”

"The emperor is smart and wise, and it is clear who is loyal and who is traitorous, and those speculators can't get benefits from the emperor, of course, they put limited resources into infinite possibilities." Qin Qiong paused for a moment and sneered: "In order to ensure long-term interests, some families have put their minds on Wei Wangtai, but up to Wei Wangtai and down to ordinary families, they don't understand the emperor's thoughts, which is really pitiful and pathetic." ”

Qin Feng was greatly surprised in his heart, as if he knew Qin Qiong for the first time.

Such a person turned out to be a reckless man and a martial artist who was looked down upon by a century-old family? So, what has become of the family that invests indiscriminately?

Seeing Qin Feng's strange appearance, Qin Qiong's old face was hot, and he smiled: "It's your Uncle Cheng who said it!" ”

No wonder so!

Qin Feng suddenly realized that his Uncle Cheng was as his name suggested, he was an out-and-out "Cheng Fairy", he had done countless things in his life, he started by selling illicit salt, and was the king of the Great Demon Kingdom of Wagangzhai, and then surrendered to Li Tang, and he also made a lot of great contributions with his cleverness and luck. He had excellent luck in his life, and went through the four dynasties of Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong, and Wu Zetian, and can be said to be the first lucky general among the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties. If that guy didn't have a "three-plate axe", how could he become a tumbler in officialdom.

Qin Qiong met her son's gaze and admitted calmly: "Your Uncle Cheng is wise and foolish, clever and clumsy, it is better to be a father!" If it weren't for you, Uncle Cheng, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

When he was a general under Wang Shichong's account, Cheng Yanjin once said to Qin Shubao: "The prince is shallow and narrow-minded, but he likes to talk nonsense, like to swear and swear, this is just an old witch, where is the monarch who sets things right!" Wang Shichong fought with the Tang army in Jiuqu, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie led troops on the battlefield, and dozens of their subordinates rode horses to the west for more than a hundred steps, and then dismounted and saluted Wang Shichong, saying: "I have received your special preferential treatment, and I always want to repay the favor and serve, but you are suspicious of temperament, love to believe in slander, and it is not a place for us to support yourself, and now I can no longer serve you, and I ask to be separated from this." So he jumped on his horse and came down to the Don.

It can be said that if it weren't for Cheng Yanjin's original words, Qin Qiong might have become a ghost under the knife just like Shan Xiongxin at the beginning, otherwise, where would he be the Duke of Yiguo and Shangzhu today? To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng Yanjin is Qin Qiong's savior. Of course, the gain has always been proportional to the effort, if it weren't for Qin Qiong's deep righteousness and unparalleled righteousness, he would not have made such a good friend.

Qin Qiong said: "Biting gold is the enemy of others, and I am transcendent, this is our way of being an official." Whether others are jealous or disdainful, as long as you don't get together to operate, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, you will get unexpected gains. ”

Qin Feng knew that Qin Qiong was imparting most of his life's experience, so he hurriedly listened attentively, perhaps, Qin Qiong was not a qualified politician, but his experience from troubled times and decades of being an official were by no means comparable to Qin Feng, who was born in a peaceful era, so it sounded extraordinarily attentive. To be honest, Qin Qiong didn't have anything to teach, so she simply told her life experience one by one without any reason.

Since he couldn't analyze a single reason, he simply told in detail what he had seen and heard during the Jianghu period, the troubled times, the war period, the unification period, and the official period, he knew that Qin Feng was smarter than him, so he simply let him find the answer by himself. In this way, Qin Feng benefited greatly, especially for the ancient battlefield, he had a more intuitive understanding, and he understood that the war in the era of cold weapons was definitely more tragic than the era of hot weapons.
