Chapter 502: Thinking about Change at the End of the Road
Zhu Liji persuaded his elder brother and said: "Brother Jun, don't panic, this matter needs to be faced calmly, we will seriously discuss it, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”
Ying Si was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "If there is a turnaround, the widow is willing to do his best to do it." But where is the turning point? ”
At this time, Ying Si suddenly remembered the conversation with Zhang Yi yesterday, he held his brother's hand, and said: "I remember last night, let's go and ask Zhang Yi, it seems that he has some good plans hidden and has not been told, do you think this is the case, brother?" ”
Zhu Li listened to Ying Si's question, and a trace of complaint appeared in his heart again, thinking: "Last night, you didn't agree with Zhang Yi, so you left angrily, and didn't give Zhang Yi a chance to speak up, and now that I think of Zhang Yi, who knows if he will mind?" ”
Ying Si hopes that Zhu Li will pick up his words and help him go to Zhang Yi again to ask him for an idea. He had his own difficulties, and he was silent.
Ying Si squeezed his brother's hand tighter, and he urged again: "Brother Ji, you have a friendship with Zhang Yi, you should know better than me, do you think Zhang Yi can give us advice to solve the crisis in Michi?" ”
Glancing at his brother, he twitched his arm slightly, trying to pull his hand back from Ying Si's clench, so that it would be more comfortable. However, Ying Si was already anxious at this time, the six gods had no master, and he was bent on co-opting his younger brother Yingji, how could he easily let him get out. Ying Si inadvertently grabbed the tree tightly, as if he was afraid that he would let go of his hand and run away.
He still insisted on his own opinion. From the very beginning, he believed that Zhang Yi was a reliable person who came up with effective solutions to problems, both in terms of talent and familiarity with Su Qin.
He saw that his brother was in a hurry at this time, and it seemed that if he let it go, he might be in a hurry. He sighed in his heart, but out of concern for the country, he decided to help his brother again, and still made up his mind from Zhang Yi's body, although he turned back to find Zhang Yi, his face couldn't get over, but it could only be like this.
Zhu Li suggested to Ying Si: "I think Zhang Yi should be the most suitable person to solve the dilemma of Michi, if Brother Jun agrees, the younger brother can go with Brother Jun again to ask for advice." It's just that this time I hope that Brother Jun will be patient, and he must not say a few words and disagree, and just throw his hands away, then I am really embarrassed. ”
Ying Si grabbed his brother's arm and shook it, his eyes showed eagerness, and he promised: "Brother Wei was a little rude last night, and he regretted it when he left Zhang Yi's mansion, this is not the proper meaning of Corporal Lixian." If we go to see Zhang Yi again, I promise my brother that it will not be the same as last night. ”
He nodded and said, "That's very good. That Zhang Yi is not from our Qin State in the first place, he is a free body, and he has a disagreement with us, so people can go away and leave the Qin State. Therefore, we are not guilty of putting on a domineering posture in front of him. Today's era is not like before, the so-called boundary between nobles and commoners has been completely eliminated in the reform of the law, Zhang Yi and Su Qin, the new commoners who grew up in the environment of the change, and the old commoners in the past, have a very different mentality. ”
He struggled to persuade Ying Si to put down the shelf, but he was really suspicious of his Corporal Lixian's determination. Ying Si listened to his persuasion, and only in this urgent moment of burning his eyebrows did he think about it seriously and hear it in his heart.
Ying Si himself is a nobleman, since he was a child was set up as a prince, respected by the countrymen and subjects, thus developing a self-respecting psychological stereotype, Shang Ying changed the law, because he could not get rid of the habits of the old nobles, violated the new law, and was taught a lesson by Shang Ying to punish his master. Although his father Qin Xiaogong was alive, he was unconvinced, but he did not dare to show it, because he was afraid of angering his father, who was very determined to change the law, and was deposed as the crown prince.
After his father's death, Ying Si ruthlessly cleaned up Shang Ying, forced him to flee, and then convicted him of rebellion, took him down in one fell swoop, and died in a broken car. Ying Si also wanted to adjust Shang Ying's approach, but later found that the Chinese people had long been accustomed to the new law, and it was too risky to change it back.
Moreover, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the national strength of the Qin State was thriving, and he proudly dominated the princes of the world, and Ying Si himself was also worshiped by most of the princes, so he no longer thought about changing the new law.
During this period, the master Gongzi Qian, who had been punished with tattoos on his face in the past, repeatedly advised him to change his ways, return to the old law, and restore the rights of the old nobles. But whenever he considered that the countrymen might rebel due to dissatisfaction, Ying Si could only listen casually, and did not agree to Gongziqian's request.
However, the aristocratic atmosphere that Ying Si has cultivated since he was a child is not easy to get rid of, and deep in his heart, there is still a kind of pampered mentality, and he always feels that others are inferior to himself and cannot be compared. Moreover, for people of insight from the East, he mostly copes with them on the surface, but in fact, he still looks down on them from the bottom of his heart.
An exception may have been Mi Bazi, although she was also from the Chu State and was happy to recommend some Oriental people to Ying Si. Because she is very well-behaved, likable, and always able to help Ying Si with some ideas, Ying Si still has a different view of the people she recommends, including Gongsun Yan, who was once very close to Concubine Mi.
Unlike Ying Si, he has a deeper understanding of the Shang Ying reform supported by his father Qin Xiaogong, and he also raised his hands in favor of this big change.
Because to measure whether the reform is good or bad, it is fundamentally necessary to look at the changes brought by the reform to the Qin State. He had heard about the state of Qin before the reform, which was a weak country that was humiliated by neighboring countries such as Wei, Zhao, and Chu. Even the relatively weak South Korea was able to spread wildness on the head of the Qin State, and once included Hangu Pass in the territory of Korea.
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State is like riding on a galloping carriage, in less than ten years, the territory has been expanded, not only recovering the Hangu Pass, but also advancing the troops to the west bank of the river, restoring the territory of the Qin Mugong era in one fell swoop. This kind of change which Qin people are not ecstatic in their eyes, now the Qin people are in high spirits, and their combat ability is second to none among the princes, all of which stem from the new atmosphere brought by this change.
The Qin State was transformed from a poor and weak old country that was faltering, and did not change the monarch's surname like the Jin State and the Qi State, but changed its old appearance to a new one, which cannot but be said to be because of the work of changing the law. With the growth of national strength, the people's desire to make meritorious contributions has also been invigorated, coupled with the national policy of rewarding cultivation and warfare, the Qin State has transformed into a super hegemon in the world.
