Chapter 149: Fierce Debate on the Ministers
"Yin and yang have seven losses and eight benefits. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Zhong Wuregret said: "The little brother in your leg has five principles that must be adhered to. Like a hermit who usually dwells in seclusion, and who dwells in self-love, with the highest benevolence.
Giving to others without sparing is so benevolent. There is an empty way in the question, which can be described as righteousness. There is a festival at the front end, which can be described as a courtesy. If you want to intersect, you will stand firm and set up, and when you don't want to intersect, you can stop abruptly and breathe, which can be described as faith. It can be described as wise to be able to calmly think about the legitimacy of the relationship when the sexual intercourse is over. Therefore, the gentleman can use these five constants to control ****, which is not easy to intersect. ”
Zhong Wuregret's words are by no means nonsense, this is actually a passage in the "Su Nu Jing", "Su Nu Jing", as the most important work on sexology in ancient China, still has positive practical significance.
This passage emphasizes that those who can abide by these five principles - benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith will be able to live a long and happy life. The so-called "humanity" is explained in the Sutra. Humanity is not only the ability to reproduce and reproduce, but also refers to morality. In addition to emphasizing the skills of copulation to achieve the purpose of health preservation, the plain woman also emphasizes the morality of copulation, which is the correct way of yin and yang.
……
It wasn't until late that Zhong Wuregret ended his theory class.
"Time is in a hurry, I need to go back to the Qin Country Guest House first, and I will meet you tomorrow, and the rest of the questions will be talked about later, but what about it, after destroying the Yong Kingdom, the road between Qin and Chu will be barrier-free, and when the time comes, you can come to the Chu State at any time, and I can come to the Qin State at any time, which is very convenient." In Ju Wen's eager demeanor, Zhong Wuregret said goodbye and left.
"The is invincible!" This is Zhong Wuregret's biggest experience tonight.
Due to the urgency of the matter, early the next morning, Zhong Wuregret came to the Qin Palace to worship the King of Qin.
At that time, there were many palace groups in the Qin Palace, but they were all independent and closed by walls, but they had not yet formed a "palace city" with rammed walls around them.
In the palace of the early dynasty, many ministers had arrived early, waiting for the king of Qin to ascend to the court.
The King of Qin had already received the news of the arrival of the envoy from Chu, and after the lord was seated, he ordered Zhong Wuregret to explain the purpose of the envoy to the Qin State.
"Now that Yong has taken advantage of the great hunger of Chu to invade Chu State, my Chu King has sent an army to fight against it, and this time I was sent to Qin to invite Qin to send troops together to exterminate Yong." Zhong Wuregret said.
One of the ministers said: "I'm afraid you're here to ask me for reinforcements from Great Qin to save the Chu State, right?" I wonder how much land can be ceded to us after the Chu State is saved? ”
"This statement of rescue is inappropriate, I sent an envoy to the Qin State this time to ask the king to send the Qin army to jointly exterminate the Yong State." Zhong Wuregret said: "After destroying the Yong State, the division of the Yong State can be mutually agreed, but it is by no means the Chu State ceding land. ”
"I don't think it's worth fighting, Chu State is now in need of rest and recuperation, if Chu State pretends to attack Yongguo, and let Qin State and Yongguo fight to the death, when both sides are defeated, who dares to say that Chu State will not peep into my Great Qin country? If it weren't for the fact that our ministers saw the sinister intentions of the Chu State, when they hypothetically attacked the Qi State, I am afraid that the Qin Land would have become the Chu Land. Another minister said.
"It's hard to explain this matter, it's hard to say, whether Chu attacked Qin or not, it's just a guess." Zhong Wuregret didn't understand the situation at the time, so he had to deal with it with ambiguous words.
"Don't send troops!" A minister said resolutely: "We can't use the blood of the soldiers of the Qin army to save the Chu State from the crisis, and the Chu State will never come to the Qin State for help until the moment of crisis." ”
"The state of Chu is not credible, unless the land is cut, it can send troops."
"As far as I know, the state of Chu has just encountered a major drought, and it is still leviing and expropriating violently, I am afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising."
"Don't fight, so as not to make profits for the Chu State" and "......" Many ministers seconded the proposal.
Zhong Wuregret heard this, just smiled "haha", and sneered: "King Qin Mu worked hard, forged ahead, recruited the world's talents, and used the world's talents to give full play to their strengths, so that the Qin State could develop rapidly, benefit the country twelve, open up thousands of miles, dominate Xirong, and step into the ranks of overlords." I originally thought that the Qin State was full of talents, and there was no shortage of eloquent talents, but when I looked at it today, I knew that short-sighted mediocre talents were stuffed with the imperial court. ”
As soon as Zhong Wuregret's words came out, he immediately attracted an angry scolding, and he felt like he was drowning in the saliva of the ministers. Even King Qin's face was gloomy.
Who knew that Zhong Wuregret was still not interested, and continued: "Also, after the defeat of the former court's virtuous minister Baili Xi Zishan Mountain, he learned from the pain, defeated the Jin army, and won the royal officials and suburbs. And a few years ago, who caused the Qin army to suffer defeat in the river meander, but the ministers could have thought about revenge? You've forgotten all this! ”
In fact, the battle of the river meander is not a defeat, Zhong Wuregret deliberately said this, it is a method of agitation, which can be described as a dangerous move.
In the thirty-third year of King Xiang of Zhou (620 BC), the Qin army that escorted the Jin prince Yong to return to the country and succeeded to the throne, after Linghu was defeated by the Jin army, Qin and Jin fought several times in the border area, and each other won and lost. In the winter of the fourth year of King Qing of Zhou, Qin Kanggong was ashamed of the defeat of Xuelinghu, and personally led a large army to cross the river to attack Jin, and took the border town in the southwest of Jin (now southwest of Shuiji, Shanxi).
Jin Shangjun Zuo Yu Piao thought that the Qin army was lone and could not withstand long-term attrition, and suggested that the Jin army build a high camp to wait for work and wait for the opportunity to move, which was adopted by Zhao Dun.
Qin Kanggong couldn't fight, so he listened to the advice of the Jin Fugitive Ministers' Association, sent troops to attack the Jin Shang army, and induced his subordinate general Zhao Chuang to go to battle. Zhao Chuan is Zhao Dun's cousin, young and vigorous, with no actual combat experience, and when he saw the Qin army attacking, he ignored the ban and led his troops to meet him.
Zhao Dun was afraid that he would lose and ordered the whole army to attack. Because both sides lacked preparations for a decisive battle, the two armies retreated as soon as they came into contact.
Later, the Qin army retreated overnight. The Jin army then withdrew
But Zhong Wuregret said that the battle of Cihequ was a success or failure, which was no different from ridiculing King Qin to his face, and King Qin couldn't help it, and pointed at Zhong Wuregret after a few shots, ready to let the guards drag him out.
Who knew that Zhong Wuregret's words changed: "Who is it, in the battle of Chengpu, defeated the three armies of the Chu State, took the power of Dinghe, and dominated the Central Plains, making the Prime Minister of Chu State order Yin Ziyu to commit suicide?" ”
King Qin pointed at Zhong Wuregret's hand and didn't put it down, and the ministers of Qin looked at each other even more, how could there be an envoy who exposed his shortcomings in front of the monarch and ministers of other countries?
Face, who doesn't want face? Except for this envoy of the state of Chu.
"It's Jin Guo!" Zhong Wuregret said: "The biggest enemy of our two countries is the Jin State. However, although our Chu State was defeated, so far, we have not forgotten the blood feud of the Jin State, but the Yong State is in our rear, as long as we attack the Jin State, the Yong State will be in chaos behind us, so that we cannot invest the strength of a country to deal with the Jin State with all our might.
This time the Yongguo is in turmoil, and we take this opportunity to destroy the Yongguo and stabilize the rear of our country, so that the Chu State can go all out to deal with the Jin State. Therefore, this time I invited the Qin State to send troops, it seems that the target is only Yongguo, but in fact, it is to focus on the future to jointly deal with the common enemy - the Jin State! ”
After Zhong Wuregret finished speaking, the hall was silent.
At this time, the general Xu Da said: "I agree with the Qin State to send troops, the first king has always wanted to go east to dominate the world, but the road of the Qin State to the east was firmly strangled by the Jin State, judging the situation, Mu Gong avoided the real and attacked the false, and implemented the strategy of developing westward.
Now, my Great Qin has dominated Xirong and become a powerful country that is not inferior to any country, and it is time to look at the world. ”
Qin Kanggong did not want to inherit the remnants of his ancestors and continue to advance eastward, but his talents were mediocre and useless, so in the use of troops against the Jin State, he was repeatedly unsuccessful, one of which was the battle of the river meanders that Zhong Wuregret said.
Since there was no hope of eastward expansion, Kang Gong focused on keeping his business. King Qin Mu, with the assistance of Baili Xi, Uncle Jian and other virtuous ministers, laid a very good foundation for Kang Gong.
During the reign of King Mu of Qin, there was a famine in the Jin State one year, and the Qin State was asked to help with the grain, so the Qin State sent a large number of ships to carry the grain, and the white sails that transported the grain were connected from the Qin capital to the Jin capital, and the eight hundred miles of the road were connected from end to end, and the history was called the "Battle of the Rafting Boat". The wealth of the Qin State can be glimpsed from this.
Qin Kanggong didn't want to make progress, so he built a lot of construction and built palaces, just trying to have fun for himself, causing resentment among the people. However, if Yongguo can be eliminated this time, at least the people's grievances can be quelled, and in the history books, it will be more or less for Qin Kanggong.
Thinking of this, Qin Kanggong couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he asked Zhong Wuregret, "What if the Chu State deceives us again this time?" ”
"The king can rest assured, the king and the ministers may not know that Pan Chong, the prince of the Chu State, has been ambushed because of rebellion. Now, the royal power has been vested in the king of Chu, this time to destroy the Yong, the state of Chu is bound to win, the king of Chu will personally command the army to defeat the Yong, deception, where does it come from? Zhong Wuregret asked rhetorically.
"What do you think?" King Qin asked Ju Song, the chief of the right house.
Thinking that this time may have made some achievements, and the merits will be lost, as a prime minister, and there is no need to lead the troops to recruit in person, Ju Song has already intended to send troops, but what if it fails? He didn't want to take responsibility, so Ju Song didn't go back to the question of King Qin directly, but said: "This opportunity to defeat Yong is indeed good, but it is difficult to win without good generals, as far as I see, Qin and Chu have not yet won the battle against Yong. It's rare! ”
Ju Song's implication was to agree to send troops, but because there were no good generals, they might incur defeat, and if they failed, the generals who led the army would be held responsible.
At this time, General Xu Da said excitedly: "As long as the king agrees to send troops, Wechen is willing to make a military order and lead the army to the battle, if the battle is defeated, Wechen will never survive." ”
"The general is just one person who dies, but once he is defeated, how much blood will be spilled on the battlefield, I hope the general will think carefully." Said a minister.
"It is said that the Qin army is the army of tigers and wolves, but I didn't expect to be so timid in the court, how can there be peace in the troubled times? If a country does not rely on hard work to build the country, it will be like sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat. Afraid of blood, it is better to disband the three armies and take refuge in other countries as slaves.
Regardless of whether the Qin army sends troops or not, I will follow the king of Chu to gallop across the battlefield without regrets. People say that a man should die in the wilderness, and bury his ears with a horse leather shroud, how can he lie in bed and be evil in the hands of his sons and daughters?
I said: Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. It's just a pity that the great rivers and mountains of the Qin State! Zhong Wuregret shouted in the hall.
"What's a pity?" Ju Song, the chief of the right house, asked intentionally.
"I thought that the terrain of Qin was dangerous, and the threat from the northern Xiongnu was very small, and Guanzhong was a place of four stops since ancient times: Donghan Valley, Xisanguan, North Xiaoguan, and Nanwuguan. The river is the river that protects the country, and the mountain is the mountain of its barrier. Heaven made a natural protective shield for the Qin State.
In the east, Tongguan and Hangu Pass make the Qin State enter the Central Plains to attack, retreat and defend, and there is no threat in the other three directions, which is conducive to guarding the danger, retreating can protect the land from loss, and advancing can encroach on neighbors.
The Qin State is not like the Jin State, even if it is not divided, it is difficult for other countries to break through the dangerous passes of the Qin State, but when sending troops, it is necessary to always beware of sneak attacks from the Qi State, the Yan State and the Chu State.
As for the state of Chu, this time it advanced and retreated with the state of Qin, and the two countries of Qi and Yan were weak in national strength and would never dare to start a war with the combined forces of Chu and Qin.
Qin is related to the central plain, the soil is fertile, since Yu Xia Zhigong thought that Shangtian, only relying on Guanzhong and Guandong, can have a strong economic strength to dominate.
An excellent ruler must be a continuator of the hegemony, so that he can have a good reputation and be praised endlessly. So I say it's a pity! Zhong Wuregret was impassioned and ended his eloquence endlessly.
These words made many ministers enthusiastic, and they also aroused the ambition that had been dormant in Kang Gong's heart for a long time. (To be continued.) )
