Chapter Forty-Eight: The World Reputation
"Gege!" Looking at the three bloody heads, with angry eyes and a frightened face, the children of the clan were pale, covered in chaff, and the sound of clear teeth hitting sounded in the hall.
Qin Yiren's face was gloomy, and he looked at these sect disciples coldly. These sect disciples were already frightened, and when they were stared at by Qin Yiren's gaze, they felt that where was the gaze, it was purely as if the sword was scraping flesh.
"Poof!" The fourth prince knelt on the ground, trembling and kowtowing to Qin Yiren.
In the Warring States Period, although kneeling existed, it was rarely used, even when it was to see the monarch, at most it was a bow, and there was no kneeling. At most, it is a half-kneeling ceremony, which is already a very solemn etiquette. Kneeling and prostrating is extremely rare, very rare.
The ministers looked at the fourth prince in surprise, and they were puzzled, he didn't participate in this matter, which door did he kowtow to?
"Hmm." Qin Yiren was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Fourth Uncle Wang, why are you like this?" ”
"Your Majesty, please spare them. Although my father has more than 20 sons and hundreds of kings and grandchildren, the eldest brother died early, the second brother died, and the third brother has surrendered to the law for rebellion. The cold sweat on the fourth prince's forehead poured out like water, obviously he was afraid of Qin Yiren, but he had to plead hard.
"Uncle Siwang, if you intercede at this time, aren't you afraid that the widow will ask you?" Qin Yiren asked in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, but I can't help but say it." The fourth prince was stunned, and then said.
"Because you are afraid of the widows, you will intercede for them. Well. This is worthy of being a descendant of the Ying family! Qin Yiren stepped forward. personally helped the fourth prince up, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Uncle Fourth Wang, it's rare that you have such a mind, and the widow is allowed." ”
Qin Yiren didn't think about killing all these clan disciples, in that case, it would inevitably provoke trouble. It is almost enough to kill the six princes, the eleventh prince, and the seventeenth prince, and achieve the purpose of deterrence. Now, the fourth prince is pleading, just to sell a favor.
"Thank you! Thank you! "All the children of the clan who participated in the expulsion of guests hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.
They thought that this matter was over, but they only heard Qin Yiren say coldly: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, the clan is expelled, demoted to the common people, and you will not be allowed to re-enter the clan for eternity!" ”
"Ahh An exclamation sounded from the mouths of these clan disciples.
Although the children of the Qin State Sect have no privileges. Compared with the children of the clan in Shandong, they are almost the same as beggars, but. They still have some privileges, at least they can receive salaries, have a house, and have no worries about food and clothing. Once they are expelled from the clan, they are no different from ordinary people, and they have to work their own, and they don't have to think about living a life of food and clothing like in the past.
More importantly, Qin's method of electing a monarch was different from Shandong's, and the land of Shandong should be honored by the Yan, while the Qin State should be honored by the virtuous. All the children of the clan are eligible to compete for the throne, and of course, the heirs of the king have priority. Perhaps at a special time, there is a virtuous descendant who will have the opportunity to become Emperor Qin. If they are expelled from the clan, they will not have the slightest chance, which is too painful for them.
"Send it to the border and guard the border for Daqin!" Qin Yiren's words made them despair.
Since ancient times, the border pass has been synonymous with bitter cold, and the border pass in the Warring States period was even more bitter, with few people, and sending them to the border pass to guard the border is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Your Majesty ......" a group of clan disciples want to ask for mercy.
Qin Yiren rolled his eyes and said coldly, "I don't want to go, right?" Well, kill them all! The tone is not high, but it is murderous, and people dare not have the slightest doubt.
"Thank you! Thank you! "It's better to die than to live, and the children of the clan are busy thanking and leaving in a hurry.
"The matter of evicting customers has spread all over the world, and Daqin's reputation has been damaged, and it cannot be recovered." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said: "The intention of the widow is to ask Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi to write an article and spread it all over the world, which shows that Great Qin has the heart to recruit talents." ”
The matter of evicting guests is not good for the Qin State, but if it is handled well, it may not be able to change from bad to good, and it can still attract talents. It was precisely because of this thought that Qin Yiren made this matter bigger.
Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi happily accepted the order and began to write articles.
The two of them are worthy of being talented, and the articles they wrote are very good, which is amazing, Qin Yiren is about to be approved, but seeing Li Si's lips can't help moving, his eyes roll, and he asked, "Li Si, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say." Li Si was startled and came to his senses.
"If you don't have anything to say, then you're muttering to yourself." Qin Yidao.
"Your Majesty, what the minister thinks is ......" Li Si hesitated and didn't say any more.
"What do you think?" Qin Yiren asked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister's arrogant words, although the article of the teacher and Mr. Gongsun is good, it may not have a miraculous effect." Li Si hesitated for a while, but still told the truth.
"Arrogance!"
"Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi are famous all over the world, they are like a huge pen in the rafters, their articles look at the world, and how many people can compare? You are so loud that you dare to say that their articles are not good. ”
A shout rang out, coming from the mouths of the ministers.
Although Li Si is extraordinary, he is a rising star, after all, he is still too young to compare with Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi, the two giants of the academic world, and it is impossible for the ministers not to underestimate him.
"There is no order for those who have attained, and those who are capable are teachers, Li Si, although I am your husband, I may not be better than you in everything, what opinions do you have." Xunzi was not angry at all, but smiled all over his face, encouraging Li Si.
"yes." Gongsun Longzi, a person with excellent conduct, also came to motivate: "The elder may not be able to, the young may not be able to, Li Si, if you have something to say." ”
"The two gentlemen are right, Li Si, if you have something to say, just say it." Qin Yiren nodded slightly, and said: "In the Great Qin Dynasty, it has always been free to speak freely, even if it is wrong, it is nothing. ”
"In this case, the minister will be presumptuous." Li Si was inspired by Qin Yiren, Xunzi, and Gongsun Longzi, and he was very excited. Chest up. Said: "The ministers heard that the officials discussed the expulsion of guests. Stealing is too much! Ximu Gong begged for a scholar, Xili from Yu Rong, and east from Baili Xi Yu Wan......"
"Isn't this the Book of Exhortations?" Qin Yiren's jaw almost smashed and swollen his feet, and his eyes almost glared.
The famous article of "The Book of Expulsion of Guests" is not only a good article, but also has a huge historical contribution, and it is precisely because of this article that Qin Shi Huang decisively terminated the expulsion of guests. Remedies were made, but no catastrophe was caused.
Now, Qin Yiren has no idea of chasing customers, he is just using this matter to make a fuss, wanting to recruit more talents, and by the way, get rid of those unwilling clan disciples. But he didn't expect that at this time, Li Si still wrote out this famous article.
"Is there a providence in the dark?" Qin Yiren was very surprised.
"Great article! Great article! There was a shout of applause in the courtroom, like thunder.
“…… This is not the case with today, and I don't ask if it's okay or not. Regardless of the merits, those who are not Qin go. For the guests chase. However, the most important thing is to care about the color and the pearl, and the light one cares about the people......" Li Si read it all the way, everyone cheered, and when he read this paragraph of accusation, it attracted a lot of criticism.
"It's over, it's over, it's too much. The king did not have this intention, this was all done by the children of the clan who had the idea of not having a share. "A group of ministers defended Qin Yiren.
Qin Yiren waved his hand to stop Qin Yiren from talking, and said, "This is making a fuss, some exaggeration should be done." Lis, continued. ”
"No." Qin Yiren didn't even get angry at such an accusation, which made Li Si very excited, his voice was a little high, and then read it down, and soon came to the end: "Today, it is to abandon the head of Guizhou to invest in the enemy country, but the guests are the princes, so that the people of the world do not dare to retreat westward, and they will not enter Qin. The husband is not produced in Qin, and there are many treasures; Scholars are not born in Qin, but those who are willing to be loyal. Today, the guests are expelled to fund the enemy country, the people are harmed to benefit the people, and the internal self-vanity and the external tree resentment the princes, and the country is not in danger, and it is not possible to get it. ”
"Good! Pick! ”
"Good! Pick! ”
The applause and cheers were like thunder, and everyone's faces were filled with drunken looks, and some people shook their heads and chanted loudly.
"How?" Qin Yiren asked.
"Such a good article, a famous article through the ages! It's better to be ashamed, it's better to be ashamed. Xunzi bowed to the wind.
"Although he was compared to a descendant, my grandson Longzi will not be cheeky and stubborn. Lis, yes, yes! Gongsun Longzi was also full of praise.
"Good! spread Li Si's article all over the world, so that everyone knows that Daqin loves talents! Qin Yiren quickly made a decision.
"The king is bold, and the ministers admire!" All the ministers bowed down in unison and praised Qin Yiren.
Although Li Si's article is a good article and a good article, it is a bit of an accusation against Qin Yiren, Qin Yiren actually wants to spread all over the world, no matter how much he praises this bearing.
If it were a different person, it would definitely be a secret, and it would never be spread out, let alone spread all over the world.
"Thank you for your innocence!" Li Si was most emotional, his article was definitely good, but it was a little disrespectful, Qin Yiren was so disposed of, everyone had to be convinced.
"Li Si wrote such a good article, and the widow also came to offer his ugliness, just a few words: If you have extraordinary merit, you must treat extraordinary people. Horses may gallop and travel thousands of miles, and scholars may have the burden of vulgarity and make meritorious contributions. The husband is a horse that is driving, and the man who is sloppy is also in the palace. It ordered the officials of all countries to make the people Mao to make the country desperate, and all of them could enter Qin. Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows.
"......" Qin Yiren's words were very good and very courageous, however, after he finished speaking, the entire court was quiet, and no one spoke.
"What's wrong? What are you ...... Isn't it good to say this? Qin Yiren was greatly surprised.
"Good! Pick! Suddenly, all the ministers were excited, and they all shouted loudly, their faces were red and excited.
"Woo!" Fan Sui cried even more, wiped his tears, and said: "The minister was framed by Wei Qi in the past, suffered a lot of humiliation, and was unbearable to be a minister, but the first king was a reused minister, and the minister was really a man who ran on the horse. ”
"It's not just the prime minister, I'm the people of Shandong, who is not as good as it?" The ministers from Shandong were all tearful and excited.
They have no way out in Shandong, and they have no place to use, so they have to enter Qin, which is in response to Qin Yiren's words that "horses may run for thousands of miles, and scholars may have the burden of vulgarity and make meritorious contributions", and they will not be able to do it if they are not excited.
Li Si and Qin Yiren's articles soon spread all over the world, attracting a lot of praise, and Shandong scholars entered Qin one after another. (To be continued......)
