The imperial study is well-lit, and the sunlight shines through the window lattice on the rosewood bookshelves, shining with an indescribable purple luster, adding a bit of mystery and luxury to this supreme study. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sitting on the chair, Qin Lei said in a deep voice with a serious face: "Do you say that's the truth?" ”

"That's right," Qin Ting said with a smile: "They are too honest, and they didn't even make an additional decision other than what you explained." Said with sincere admiration: "I never thought that someone could plan what a country will do in a year to the point of 'losing one point to be thin and gaining one point fat'." ”

"The royal brother praised it falsely." Qin Lei shook his head and said: "I actually didn't give any orders, except for abolishing the previous unreasonable systems, that is, to let those officials go deep into the scope of their jurisdiction and learn how to govern in person." Saying that, he gritted his teeth and smiled: "To be honest, in the past six months, our Great Qin has been completely in a state of anarchy. ”

"That's my other doubt." Qin Ting crossed his fingers, rested on his chest and said, "Why doesn't the government do anything, but the country is thriving," he said with a self-deprecating smile: "Even counting the six months of the Great Purge, we haven't done anything serious for more than a year, why have the people lived and worked in peace and contentment?" It doesn't make sense. ”

"It's actually very simple." Qin Lei shook his head and said, "Ask the imperial brother a question." ”

"Please." Qin Ting nodded, he felt that in front of Qin Lei, he was like a student, although this feeling had always been in Nanchu, but it was not until the last year that the two straightened out their relationship, and Qin Lei began to diagnose and treat this seriously ill old empire, that it became so intense, so convincing to him.

"Do you want to live a good life or a bad life?" Qin Lei asked with a smile.

"Do you need to ask?" Qin Ting replied with a smile: "As long as you are not a fool, you are willing to live a good life." As he spoke, he realized: "Are you saying that the common people can live a good life by themselves?" ”

"Of course not, the state or the imperial court is the premise for the people to live and work in peace and contentment." Qin Lei shook his head and said with a smile: "If there is no army to resist foreign enemies, encircle the territory, no government to maintain order, deter Xiaoxiao, organize the people to build bridges and pave roads, build embankments to fight floods, and the people can't even be human beings, how can they talk about doing better?" He spread his hands and said: "But our court has done a lot of things that should not be done in the past, but it has not done the same thing well, do you say that the people can live well?" Can the Great Qin Dynasty prosper?"

"Now we just abolish those disgusting decrees, restrict officials from disturbing the people at will, and give the people a relaxed environment." A faint smile appeared on Qin Lei's face...... This is also the first time he smiled from the bottom of his heart today, and said: "As long as our officials do what they should do, do not bend the law for bribes, work the people and waste money, and are as smart as my Chinese people, we will be able to live a good life." ”

"That's what it means to rule by doing nothing." Qin Ting clapped his hands and said: "After the war, the people should indeed be allowed to recuperate, it seems that we are ...... this step The blind cat meets the dead mouse. ”

Qin Lei rolled his eyes again, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu's bold assumption and careful verification of the 'no government and no officials' policy was actually regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. But he laughed dryly and said, "Although it doesn't sound good, it's probably accurate." ”

"Isn't that good for it to keep going like this?" After pondering for a while, Qin Ting suddenly asked, "Why do you want to change the law?" ”

"My Imperial Brother, can the imperial court continue like this?" Qin Lei shook his head helplessly, he found that he shook his head a lot today, and his heart might be a little good for the cervical spine. Quickly shook his head, drove away those and continued: "Those officials are still rookies, of course they can be honest, but they will always have a day when their wings are stiff, and they will always have to flutter a few times by themselves." ”

"Even if we keep using force to keep them down." Qin Lei frowned and said, "But is it a blessing for the country to cultivate them all into submissive echo worms?" Even if these people are willing to be echo worms for the rest of their lives, will their successors be willing? ”

"There is a popular saying among the people, called 'the gentleman's ze, three generations and beheaded', many reforms in history, whether it is a new policy, or a new policy, it is often a new policy of the monarch alone, but with the succession of a new generation of kings, it may also be the next generation of kings, always unable to escape the vicious circle of people's death and political rest, so that our calamitous nation is always in circles, wandering in place, and weakening itself." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, have you ever thought about it, why is this? ”

Qin Ting felt that it was very difficult to breathe at this heavy question, and he didn't know what to say except shaking his head.

"Because Xiao Gui Cao Xun is good, but this is also the greatness of Cao Shen. But for so many years in China, there has only been one Cao ginseng! The rest of those who keep talking about the law of their ancestors must be the first to break the rules. Even if they don't destroy it, they will turn the original excellent system into a tool for looting land and disturbing the people, which is very contrary to the good intentions of the framers. ”

Regarding this second reason, Emperor Tianyou felt that he should say something, otherwise he would be too incompetent, and said softly: "Maybe it's because human nature is evil, everyone wants to get as many benefits as possible, and they don't want to bear the corresponding obligations. The exploitation of the common people by the nobles has led to the loss of livelihood for many people, and it will bring many unstable factors to the country. ”

"Good." Qin Lei got up and said, "Brother Huang has great wisdom. Saying that, he paced with his hands and said: "That's not bad at all, the problem is that there are no officials who can manage them." Since they can do whatever they want, they want to be kind to themselves, that is, ...... And rightfully so. ”

Qin Ting finally followed Qin Lei's train of thought, nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes, when you and I are in charge, the officials are in charge, even if the law is not changed, the country can be governed very differently." He said with emotion: "So, how important is a good heir." ”

"Putting the rise and fall of a country on one person is like putting all its eggs in one basket, which is too dangerous." Qin Lei shook his head and said: "Even if we have the vision to choose an excellent heir, what about the next generation and the next generation?" In case there is an unscrupulous descendant, it will be the disaster of my Great Qin and the common people. Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "For example, Yang Guang seems to be so good, but he divided five by two, and gave the emerging Great Sui who had just gone through the 'rule of the emperor' to the Li family father and son. ”

"So what to do?" Emperor Tianyou sweated on his forehead, as if he had seen the final fate of the Great Qin Dynasty. After listening to Qin Lei's words, he felt that this was simply certain.

"Change, fundamentally change." Qin Lei formed a fist with his left hand, hammered it on his right hand and said, "Jump out of this strange circle and change to another set of plays." ”

"How to play?" Qin Ting asked fixedly.

"The king and the scholar rule the world together!" Qin Lei said word by word.

"Ruling the world together?" Qin Ting repeated in a low voice: "What about the specifics? ”

"Respect the rule of law, respect the imperial power, re-rule the officials, believe in rewards and punishments, and Order No. 1 is the main!" Qin Lei's voice was very low, but it had the power to shake history: "Through a series of measures, the central power is divided into imperial power, prime power, and Taiwanese power, and the three restrict each other, and rely on each other to form a stable political structure. ”

How?

"The so-called 'reverence for the legal system' is to improve the legal system, pay attention to doing things according to law, make the law of Daqin above all else, and any act of power must be carried out in accordance with the law, and must not be transgressed...... An order should first be put forward by the six ministries and nine secretaries represented by the cabinet, and then reviewed and approved by the imperial history platform or the inspectorate, as well as the auditors of the six ministries in the future, and finally approved by the emperor before it can be implemented. ”

"That is, the emperor has the right of veto, but he cannot order directly beyond the courtiers." Qin Lei solemnly explained: "The courtiers have administrative power, but without the review of the Taiwan admonition, and the approval of His Majesty, they cannot form an order. ”

"Wouldn't the emperor be too miserable?" Qin Ting frowned and asked, after all, his profession is the emperor, of course he doesn't want to see his power curtailed.

"This is precisely the purpose of Article 2, 'Respect for Imperial Power'." Qin Lei said unhurriedly: "The emperor is the head of state, the supreme commander of the army, and has the right of veto in all affairs, that is to say, as long as he thinks that the decree cannot be passed, but it is no longer directly ordered, is this power still small?" Qin Lei followed the good path...... In fact, only in this special historical period, when the emperor who is bent on passing the throne can this decree be passed.

Nodding slowly, Qin Ting was still a little suspicious: "But I still think, will the emperor be a little lonely?" ”

"No, first of all, the emperor is for life," Qin Lei shook his head and said: "And officials have a term of office, for example, the first assistant of the cabinet, every five years, at most two terms, after that, you can't hold any position in the government, the iron emperor is a flowing official, and the emperor himself has an advantage." ”

"And there are also Taiwanese counselors, although they can not only point out the emperor's mistakes, but also picket hundreds of officials. But the emperor is neither the maker nor the executor of policy, so how can he be wrong in major national affairs? Qin Lei stretched out a finger and said: "The only possibility is that the emperor is arrogant and lascivious, and the people and money are wasted, and the officials will point out the emperor's personal mistakes." He smiled and said, "It's really unbelievable for someone to help us discipline our children and grandchildren." ”

"It can be said that as long as the emperor is not too excessive in life, the officials are the loyal force standing by the emperor's side. They helped the emperor to picket hundreds of officials, audit government affairs, defend imperial power, and consolidate the source, so that the relationship between the three can be stable, and everyone performs their duties and does their own thing, isn't it good and happy? ”

After listening to Qin Lei's description, Emperor Tianyou couldn't help but be fascinated and said: "If you can make Great Qin stable for a long time, the ancestors can be immortal, even if you lose something, it is worth it." ”

"That's right," Qin Lei said softly: "Mencius: 'The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light', this sentence made Lord Yasheng completely provoke the kings of the past dynasties, so that until now, his old man is still locked in a small black house, and he can't accept offerings. ”

"This is really a strange injustice." Qin Lei slapped his thigh and said with emotion: "He clearly told the king the only true meaning of how the country will prosper for a long time!" If the emperors of thousands of years could follow this sentence, be less selfish, and put the people and the country above themselves, how could the country get into such trouble? How can there be any change of dynasty? The people have no means of making a living? ”

"His only mistake is to say this sentence publicly, if he just talks about it in the emperor's mind, so that the future emperors will remember it in their hearts immediately, and what he said will be known everywhere, it will make people have ideas."

Qin Ting said softly, as the emperor, although most of the power has been transferred to Qin Lei, this world will also be Qin Lei's. But Qin Ting knew in his heart that today's secret conversation in the study would definitely affect the fate of Great Qin, and even determine the political trend of the next tens of hundreds of years.

Under this premise, he still has to try to fight for his later peers.

"It's about giving them ideas." Qin Lei said without changing his face: "Mencius said: 'A thief is a thief, and a thief is a thief. The thief is called a husband, and he has heard of a husband, but he has not heard of killing a king! ’。 That is to say, a ruler who disobeys righteousness is a thief of the people! King Wu of Zhou's extermination of the Dufu King did not belong to the rebellion of the king, and did not violate the spirit of etiquette! ”

"I want to engrave this sentence in big characters in the most eye-catching place in the middle capital, and hang a sharp sword on the heads of our descendants! Tell the boys, people all over the world are watching, if you dare to be a faint monarch like Xia Wei, Shang Xuan, Zhou You, Qin II, Emperor Ling of Han, Emperor Huan of Han, Emperor Hui of Jin, and Emperor Yang of Sui, everyone can change your life and change an emperor! ”

Seeing that Qin Ting was already dumbfounded, Qin Lei hurriedly added: "But the emperor must be surnamed Qin, and he must be the descendants of our brothers!" In addition, anyone who covets the Jiuding artifact will be killed! ”

Qin Ting breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "But if the emperor is young and can't take responsibility for his actions, I'm afraid that this article will be taken advantage of." ”

"This is not difficult," Qin Lei said in a surprising voice: "Establish a long and virtuous person, not a descendant." It is stipulated that princes under the age of 20 have no right of inheritance, and children and grandchildren over the age of 20 who are physically and mentally healthy have the right to inherit! Saying that, he glanced at Qin Ting and said: "If the emperor's own children are not qualified, he must choose from his brothers, and he must not ruin our ancestors' country in order to continue the rule of the small family." ”

Originally, the emperor did not have Zixi, or Zixi was too disagreeable, so the Empress Dowager could be the master, and the virtuous person in the family would take over, but now Qin Lei has only strengthened this a little. For Qin Ting, who has been stimulated today, it is really nothing. After a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, I admit that if your method is successful, our Qin family's country may go on forever." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bright yellow slip from his sleeve, looked at Qin Lei with a smile on his face, and said, "I have carefully read the entries you have drawn up several times, and almost all of my energy has been spent on this these days." I have one last question now, and I'm going to use the seal on it. Otherwise......"

"Just ask." Qin Lei breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since you have come up with a method, you are not afraid of people asking." ”

"When I look at the entries above, they are all strengthening the imperial power, so much so that I think that you are going to establish an unprecedented era of power," Qin Ting looked at Qin Lei with straight eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "But listening to what you say, but it means the completely opposite, which one should I believe?" Or ......" Although the words 'neither of them believe' were spoken, fools understood it.

"You can believe both." Qin Lei's expression also became very serious: "If you want to achieve the situation I said, you need a person with great authority, great ability, and great perseverance, to clean up this troubled world first, so that I can stop and reunite in Huaxia." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Then I can not fall in love with the authority of the stack too much, and I can distribute the power again." ”

"Can you do it?" Qin Ting looked at Qin Lei and said lightly: "As far as I know, power can be addictive and inextricable for life." ”

"Aren't you addicted?" Qin Lei chuckled.

"This is different," Qin Ting shook his head and said, "I have always known where Great Qin's power is, so I can stay awake." As he spoke, he pointed at Qin Lei and said unabashedly: "But what about you?" You, the only power in Great Qin, how can you make me believe that you can sober up forever? ”

Because I'm from the distant future? Because in another time and space, Huaxia will be invaded repeatedly? A thousand years have passed since the glory of the past has been restored? Because I am a descendant of Yan Huang and want to do something for my mother?

Qin Lei had a good reason, but he couldn't say a word, and finally had to say in a muffled voice: "We can write down everything we said today, in black and white, and let the world supervise us!" ”

"Okay." After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianyou finally nodded and said, "I sign the seal!" ”
