Chapter 236: The General's Courage in the Southern Expedition (8)

Although it is the dead of night, the scene of the queen mother's trip is still not sloppy at all, and the queen mother's exposure is accompanied by eight eunuchs, each dressed in its official clothes, which is very strange. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info chief eunuch, on the left side of public opinion; The second-level is on the right side of the public opinion.

Every man walks with his hand to protect the public. Four of the five eunuchs walked in front, and twelve of the six eunuchs walked behind, each holding in his hands, such as clothes, shoes, such as hand towels, combs, brushes, powder, mirrors, needles, red and black ink, yellow paper, cigarettes, hookahs, etc.

The last person is a yellow chair. In addition, there are two maids and four maidservants, each of whom also has their own holdings.

Regardless of the fact that it is a big thing, the number of etiquette that should be there is the same and cannot be less, the Queen Mother repeatedly thought about how to report the news in front of her to King Qin Wu Yingdang.

After thinking about it, I still felt that there was something wrong, because with his many years of experience, King Qin Wu Yingdang did not trust himself like the previous king.

The reason why it is so reliant now is that most of it is still afraid of the strength of the Chu State, and the second is that the Chu State has always played the leading role of the 'Hezhong' anti-Qin state, which is related to the national fortune of the Qin State.

Since King Wu of Qin ascended the throne, he gradually squeezed out the dominant Zhang Yi of 'Lian Heng', so that Zhang Yi had to leave the Qin State, and the Queen Mother already knew that Zhang Yi would never return to the Qin State again.

As the queen mother who has been up and down for many years, she can see the doorway at a glance, this Zhang Yi's departure is just the intention of King Qin Wu, why do you say so.

In fact, in the era of King Qin Huiwen, the expansion of the Qin State was too rapid, and the eastern countries were offended a lot, and the sudden death of King Qin Huiwen made the entire Qin court fall into a kind of unease and panic.

King Wu of Qin Yingdang expelled Zhang Yi, so that he could stabilize the six eastern kingdoms, impose the crusade of the previous kings on Zhang Yi's body, and shift the attention of the eastern kingdoms to Zhang Yi's body, and win a relatively relaxed external environment for himself.

Second, suppress the power of the ministers of the Wei State, so that the ministers of the Wei State can keep to themselves in peace, once the son of heaven and the courtiers, it is best to live a peaceful and stable life and be obedient.

"It seems that the mourning family is still somewhat useful at this time! But when the eagle has grown all its feathers, there will be no need to mourn the family again! Let's be honest. The Queen Mother said to herself, although her voice was small, it was enough to shock the people around her.

Fortunately, these people are their own confidants, and they will not leak a single word.

"Queen Mother! The carriage and horses are ready! The maid came in from the outside and said.

"Good! Let's go! ”

The Queen Mother's Luan drove out of the dormitory and went straight to the main hall of the Qin State Dynasty, and at the same time, the court was still nervously planning countermeasures.

A small eunuch ran in from the outside, and came straight to the dragon chair of King Wu of Qin, and the eunuch who stayed by King Qin's side to serve hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's the matter, I'm in a hurry!" The chief eunuch stepped forward and asked.

"If you go back to your lordship, the Queen Mother will drive and come immediately!" The little eunuch who came in from outside the door stepped forward to report.

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" The chief eunuch asked very puzzled, because since King Wu of Qin Yingdang ascended the throne, the queen mother has long stopped asking about political affairs, let alone this hall, even ordinary political affairs, and she doesn't ask at all, why did she suddenly come here tonight.

"What's the matter? The matter of the court meeting has not been communicated to the Queen Mother? The chief eunuch pulled the little eunuch to the other side and asked.

The discussions in this court are all military affairs, and a little eunuch with such a humble status is not qualified to come to observe.

"Back to the adult, the queen mother received a secret report, saying that the matter is very important, and she wants to face the king!" The little eunuch told the reason for his coming.

"I see!" Chief Eunuch says:

"Good! Then you go back! Immediately report to the king. ”

"No!" The little eunuch turned and left.

At the same time, the public discussion above the court did not end, and although the main ministers expressed their views, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the other ministers to participate in politics.

Everyone hopes to be able to take this opportunity to show their talents, express their opinions, and be indignant, because the court is public, and the speaker is not guilty, and everyone is taking this opportunity to show themselves while not forgetting to suppress others.

The factions are also in endless quarrels for their own selfish interests, and it is clear that you are right, and the other party is also right because of you, but he will not let you pass calmly.

Instead, he tried every possible means to block it, saying some absurd reasons, but in fact, King Qin Wu had already had a plan in his heart.

The purpose of convening all the ministers to discuss this matter tonight is not to discuss this matter publicly, but to see how these courtiers behave in the event of an emergency.

There is also his next plan, to go east to Yiyang, to see what these courtiers are doing, and then to lay out from it.

'The disease of scabies in Bashu, Yiyang is the big problem! If Yiyang is not taken for a day, Qin State cannot change from passive to active for a day! Once the eastern countries are united, the Qin State is still in danger of extinction! Although King Qin Wu Yingdang's ears were the voice of the minister's discussion.

But this heart is planning to solve the emergency in front of him, and the scene in front of him is all too familiar, because the master in this court does not know how many times he has taught himself.

At that time, Qin Xiaogong and his ministers discussed the great plan of strengthening the country, and the three doctors Gongsun Ying, Gan Long, and Du Zhi served in front of Xiaogong, who analyzed the changes in the social situation, discussed the fundamental principles of rectifying the legal system, and sought ways to rule the people.

Qin Xiaogong said:

"After taking over the position of the previous monarch, we must not forget the country, which is the principle that a monarch should pursue. The implementation of the law must show the authority of the king, which is the principle of action of a courtier. Now I want to govern the country by changing the law and changing the etiquette system to educate the people, but I am afraid that the people of the world will criticize me. “

Gongsun Martingale said:

"I've heard the saying that hesitation will not lead to success, and hesitation will not be effective. The monarch should make up his mind to change the law as soon as possible, and not care what the people of the world say about you.

What's more, people who are superior to ordinary people will be criticized by secular society, and people who have unique insight and thinking will definitely be ridiculed by ordinary people.

As the saying goes: 'The foolish man does not understand things after they have done them, but the wise ones can foresee those things that have not yet been revealed.' \'The people, not to discuss the start of innovation with them, but to celebrate the success of the cause with them.

Guo Yan's Dharma book says: "Those who pay attention to high morality do not go along with those worldly prejudices." Those who have achieved great things do not consult with the people. \'

The testimonies are for the love of the people. Etiquette is for the convenience of doing things. Therefore, if a wise person can make the country rich and strong, he does not have to follow the old laws. If it is possible for the people to benefit, they do not have to follow the etiquette. “

Xiaogong said, "Good! “

Gan Long Says:

"No, the minister has also heard the saying: 'The wise man does not change the old customs of the people to carry out indoctrination, and the wise man does not change the old law to govern the country.' \'Conform to the old customs of the people and carry out the edification, and it will not take much effort to accomplish the deeds; Those who govern the country according to the old laws are familiar with the rules of etiquette, and the people are happy.

Now, if the law is changed, the old legal system of the Qin State is not followed, and the etiquette system is changed to educate the people, and the ministers are worried that the people of the world will criticize the monarch. I hope that the monarch will seriously consider such a thing. “

Gongsun Ying said: "What you said is exactly what the laity in society say. The mediocre keep the old customs, and the people who read the dead are confined to what they have heard of. These two kinds of people can only be used to install them in official positions and abide by the law, but they cannot discuss with them the matter of changing the legal system outside the old law. The three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou had different ritual systems but could all claim to be kings in the world, and the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period had different legal systems, but they could successively dominate the princes.

So the wise can create the testimonies, while the foolish can only be bound by the testimonies. Virtuous people change the etiquette system, and those who have no talent can only be bound by the etiquette system. A person who is constrained by the old system of etiquette cannot discuss state affairs with him. A person who is restricted by the old law cannot discuss the change of the law with him. Don't hesitate. “

Du Zhi said: "The minister has heard such a saying: 'If you don't have a hundredfold benefit, don't change the law, and if you don't have a tenfold effect, don't change the tools you use.'" The minister heard that there is nothing wrong with following the ancient legal system, and there will be no deviation from following the old etiquette system. The monarch should think carefully about this matter. “

Gongsun Ying said: "The politics and religion of the previous dynasties were different, so which dynasty should we imitate the ancient law? The laws of the ancient emperors did not attack each other, so what etiquette could be followed? Fuxi, Shennong's education does not carry out killing, although the Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun although the implementation of punishment but not excessive, and so on to the era of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, they each conform to the situation and establish the law, according to the specific situation of the country to formulate the etiquette system, the etiquette system and the law must be formulated according to the current situation, the legal system, orders must conform to the social affairs of the time, weapons, armor, utensils, equipment manufacturing must be convenient to use.

Therefore, the minister said: It is not necessary to govern the country in one way, as long as it is beneficial to the country, it is not necessary to follow the example of the ancients. Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou were kings of the world, not because they prospered because they followed the ancient laws, nor because they fell because they changed the old ritual system. That being the case, those who transgress the old law are not necessarily to be rebuked. People who follow the old etiquette system are not necessarily worthy of recognition. The king should not hesitate to change the law. “

Xiaogong said, "Okay." I have heard that those who come out of the middle of nowhere, who are unlearned, who are unlearned, who are squirrel, and who are foolish, are the things that are sorrowful to the wise. The things that rejoice in the arrogant are the fears of the talented. I am no longer puzzled by the argumentative rhetoric that is stuck in the prejudices of the world. “

"When it comes to those who are virtuous, they are not in harmony with the vulgar; Those who have achieved great success do not seek the public. King Qin Wu muttered in his mouth. Although Shang Ying was split and killed by King Qin Huiwen, the ideas of the Legalists did not die out because of Shang Ying's death.

"Listening to their strange theories, even if you hear the dawn, it is estimated that it will not help, but fortunately, the performance of the courtiers tonight can be regarded as exposing their respective natures!" King Qin Wu said silently in his heart.

"King! The Queen Mother is coming soon! The chief eunuch stepped forward and said.

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? What did she come to do? King Qin Wu Yingdang was also very curious, because of tonight's incident, he didn't invite her to see it.

"King Qiyu, I just came in and said that I had received some important information!" The chief eunuch hurriedly said.

"Intelligence?" King Wu of Qin Yingdang said thoughtfully:

"Could it have something to do with tonight's events? Hurry up and get ready! ”

"No!" The chief eunuch hurried away. King Qin Wu frowned, pursed his lips, and thought in his heart, could it be that he was here for the matter of Bashu, if so, it would be a great help.

Thinking of this, King Qin Wu Yingdang coughed a few times, and suddenly the court of Qin State quieted down, and King Qin Wu Yingdang immediately said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are right! This matter of Bashu is related to the fortunes of our Great Qin, and we can't make a hasty decision, we should plan a feasible plan!

Is it reasonable to rush into the army? Furthermore, once the army marches westward, what if something happens in the east?

I heard that among the hundreds of families, there are many people who want you and me! Have you ever wondered if someone will take advantage of the fire to rob you? ”

Hearing this, Meng Shuo's heart was suddenly shocked, and he thought, 'Could it be that King Qin knows something?' Wrong! If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here! So what does that mean? ’

In fact, Meng said that he was too careful, and King Wu of Qin said this, but he just asked these ministers to plan national affairs, and they should be cautious and subtle.

In addition, the Ranger Assassin often haunts Xianyang, and if he is cold, he doesn't know whose head is missing, which is also a very normal thing, not a rare thing.

A few days ago, even the queen's bedroom was not still visited, not to mention coming and going freely, and the queen's maid was injured.

If this is still the case in the deep palace, don't talk about the families of other princes and ministers, the Qin State has done a lot of injustice over the years, don't look at the fact that the Eastern States can't beat the Qin State on the battlefield.

But in private, the ability to play tricks is incomparable to the Qin State, give some money, buy a dead soldier who doesn't want to die, enter Xianyang, it is better to be able to gain something, if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, anyway, those things are looted by the common people.

If you don't have it, you can continue to loot the people, and you don't feel distressed at all, and you don't have to go out in person, and the people under your hands wish they could have such an opportunity every day.

Even if he was caught, there was no evidence, who knew who sent it, and there was no writing on his face!

However, once you succeed, the harvest is still not small, and it can always play a certain role in delaying for a certain period of time.

When the courtiers heard King Qin Wu Yingdang say this, they all felt extremely embarrassed!

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The samurai outside the door shouted! (To be continued.) )
