Chapter 109: Affiliation

"Yes, Kong said Chengren, Meng said righteousness. It seems that Childe is very interested in Confucianism? ”

Mo Da found that this Fusu was really like what Mo Han said, and he really wanted to use Confucianism as the concept of governing the country. If Great Qin really governs like Fusu said, it will really be the well-being of the people of Great Qin.

"Childe, we've talked so much. You haven't said what conspiracy these people have, what do you need me and the third prince to do? ”

Fusu clapped his palms and smiled

"I was talking so speculatively just now that I forgot to get down to business. These men have infiltrated all parts of Great Qin, even in the court. General Meng Tian and I have investigated in many ways and found many Zongheng disciples and people who have been bought by them. For example, Prime Minister Li Si and Changshi Sima Xin were bought by them. ”

Hearing this, Murda was shocked. Asked

"Even Li Si has been dealt with by the Zongheng disciples? How big does it take to buy Prime Minister Daqin!? ”

Fusu sighed

"This is also the sorrow of Great Qin. Since the beginning of the Shang Dynasty reform, he used high-ranking officials to attract talents from all over the world to enter Daqin and work hard for the country of Daqin. But after a long time, the ills of this lure come out. These talents only value profit and not benevolence, and most of the people in the entire court are people who are hungry for profit. Such a courtier only knows that he should do things in his own favor, how can he think of the country and the people? ”

Mo Han shook his head when he heard this

"Then since you know that Li Si colluded with the Zongheng people, can't you just denounce him? Wouldn't it be quiet to arrest all those who were with them? ”

Murda smiled at Mo Han and said slowly

"You mean that troubled times use heavy canons. I don't think so, how can the evil of lust for profit be cured by punishment? It depends on the power of example and the penetration of education. I estimate that the mainstream of the Great Qin Dynasty is to pursue profits, and if you catch one Li Si, a thousand Li Si will pop up again. Treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the pre-Qin period, the countries of the Central Plains fought against each other, which in itself was a competition for profit among the kings of various countries. It's just an upside and downside effect. Just like in a family, if the father is rude and rude, the child will follow suit, then the whole family atmosphere will be smoky. ”

Fusu was very touched by Moda's words.

"yes. My father won the world by relying on these profit-seeking people, and he tasted the sweetness of using others to achieve his own goals. Now there are only two means: inducement and severe punishment. ”

Murda continued

"I think it can be summed up in two words: utilization. Temptation is to take advantage of people's **, and severe punishment is to take advantage of people's fear. It either makes people greedy or resentful. Then the world of Great Qin will become more and more chaotic. Now only from the emperor to practice the way of Confucius and Mencius who put benevolence and righteousness first, so that it can provoke the imitation of people in the world. If this is the case, I can't think of a few years, and Daqin will be able to clear up the roots. ”

Fusu's eyes lit up, and this green wolf elder not only pointed out Daqin's problems to the point, but also gave the same governance methods as himself. Fusu voiced his biggest concern

"It's just that there aren't many people of insight now, and I'm afraid it's hard to rely on me and General Meng Tian alone."

Murda's eyes were firm, and he said to Fusu word by word

"Have faith."

These four words shocked Fusu. It was as if he saw the confidence in Murda's heart. Murda continued

"Only by having faith can we not waver, and only if we do not waver can we be calm as usual, and only when we have a calm heart can we gain true wisdom, and with wisdom we can realize our dreams. So, faith is the foundation. However, the foundation of faith is enlightenment, and it is not too late for Childe to have such an enlightenment, as long as he strengthens his faith. ”

Murda's every word spoke to Fusu's heart, making him respect the Blue Wolf Elder

"If Daqin has a helmsman like you, it won't take too long for the world to be clean."

Meda waved his hand

"I'm used to being idle. can only come up with ideas, and you still have to be the son of the country to govern the country. Just now you said that the Zongheng disciples plan to poison the grassland, what happened? ”

Fusu was quite educated after listening to Moda just now, and now he was even more convinced by this wise man who made him come from the desert steppe. So he replied more respectfully

"Don't hide it from the elders, they plan to poison the grassland, causing a large number of deaths of people and animals on the grassland due to the plague. Then he denounced that the poison was all put by Great Qin and used to provoke the anti-Qin war in the grassland countries. They then contacted various anti-Qin forces in Great Qin, and joined forces to oppose Qin. If that's the case, Daqin will really have internal and external troubles at that time. ”

Mo Da thought to himself, these vertical and horizontal disciples are really ruthless, this kind of trick of poisoning first and then framing can come up with it, it is really doing everything. He asked again

"But now that Great Qin borders Lou Fu, and this fortress is on the edge of Lou Fu's capital, won't the Qin soldiers be infected?"

Fusu pointed to the cave

"The construction of this fortress is to prevent the grassland people who have contracted the plague from breaking into the Qin realm. Great Qin had already built several such forts on the road to the border. It can not only garrison troops here, but also store grain. There was enough food hoarded here for 3,000 people to hide in their caves for a year. It can be said to be isolated from the world. In addition, the warlocks of Great Qin have already prepared medicine to prevent the plague, as long as they do not come into contact with the sick, they will not be infected. ”

Murda was a little puzzled

"Since you have seen through the conspiracy of the Zongheng disciples, why don't you explain it to the First Emperor?"

Fusu shook his head

"If my father really listened to my persuasion, he would have stopped these harsh punishments a long time ago, and he wouldn't have let me come here to stuff the bitter cold land. His father relied on Li Si very much, and listened to many of his policies. The person you see during the day is Li Si's man. And Li Si said to his father that the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also good, and the use of poison can greatly weaken the strength of the grassland countries. The grassland lacks medical care and medicine, once the cattle, horses and sheep are infected with the plague, the grassland people will starve to death, plus the mutual infection of people and animals, it is estimated that the grassland will become a no-man's land in less than a year. ”

Hearing this, Mo Wei scolded

"This bastard Lees! Twisting the meaning of Sun Tzu's Art of War! It's not a fucking thing! ”

Fusu continued

In order to save huge military expenditures, my father also decided to abandon the use of military and poison. So this time, Li Si sent a staff member to Lou Fu, first, to see if he could buy Lou Fu, and if it didn't work, he would use poison instead. ”

Murda was curious

"Then why do you want to disguise yourself as a guard?"

Fusu smiled

"My father didn't send me. I want to go deep into the grassland country to see the people's feelings, seeing is believing, which is very beneficial for me to get along with the grassland countries better in the future. How can you understand the cuisine of the grassland people if you have not eaten the mutton of the grassland? How can you understand the life of the steppe people without living in a tent on the grassland? How can we understand the perseverance and pride of the grassland people without being baptized by the wind and sand of the grassland? You tell me? Elder. ”

When Fusu spoke, his eyes flashed with the broad mind of an emperor. Moda was moved, in order to pacify the northern frontier, Fusu was not afraid of the desert's wind, sand, bitter cold, and private visits, if he really ascended to the throne, he would definitely be a good emperor who could handle political affairs in the court and do it himself.

However, he also understood that Li Si did this in order to prevent Meng Tian and Fusu from snatching away the credit for pacifying the grassland, so he made such a vicious move. As for Fusu, in addition to considering the crisis of Daqin, there is also an element of grabbing merit. And Qin Shi Huang, of course, he hopes that the two parties under his command will fight, so that he can better control the situation of the snipe and clam fighting. This is politics, each according to his needs.

But no matter what, he must stand on the side of Fusu, otherwise the real plague will spread, and the Huns will also suffer. So Moda said to Fusu

"Childe. You came to Lou Fu in micro-service, it was really painstaking. On behalf of the grassland countries, I would like to thank you. It's just that we don't know where these Zongheng disciples have come? What do you need us to do? ”

"I and this group of brothers pretended to be accompanying guards, and wanted to take advantage of the mechanism to stop them from poisoning. But when my identity was revealed, the staff offered me and these sergeants sent by General Meng, and although they were still respectful to me, I could no longer hear any news. I'd like to ask you to find a way to stop the ride, even if it's to kill him. ”

"No, I can't. Killing Daqin Shencheng is equivalent to starting a war with Daqin, and the northern frontier of Daqin will never be peaceful. Besides, this attendant is probably a pawn, and if he kills him, there will naturally be someone to replace him. ”

Moda told Fusu his judgment. He knew that it was impossible for him to think of the stupidest way to kill the Su with the political wisdom of Fusu. He just said this to give Murda an idea.

Listening to Fusu and Mo Da talk about it for a long time, Mo Han next to him couldn't hold his breath. She is most annoyed by Fu Su's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, maybe in the eyes of others, this is a hidden performance, but in her eyes it seems so insincere.

"Childe, don't sell it anymore, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. The elders have said they will help you. The prairie people are straight, and since they have agreed, they will definitely do it. ”

Moda glanced at Mo Han gently, nodded and said

"Yes. It's up to you to come up with an idea. You have gone to great lengths to bring us here, and you have explained the ins and outs so clearly, you must have been confident. ”

"Good! Readily! I mean, the Great Xiongnu submitted a letter of alliance to my Great Qin and intermarried, and the two countries became good friends of Qin and Jin. As long as the two of us join forces, then the desert steppe will be able to achieve eternal peace. At that time, our two families were allies, and my father couldn't let Li Si poison him anymore. It's just that the Xiongnu and Daqin have been fighting for many years, and the two families have a deep grudge. I'll mediate on Daqin's side, and the Huns will count on you, Elder. ‘

Mo Dazhi said that if the two families formed an alliance, it would be a very good opportunity for the Xiongnu. For the time being, there is no need to worry about the threat from the south, so that you can go all out to conquer the Yue clan in the west. Great Qin can also have a stable northern frontier, and he can concentrate on peace of mind without external troubles. In addition, the alliance is also harmless to the political alliance of Fusu and Mengtian. If Fusu wants to rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, he can no longer conquer by force. After the alliance, he can rest with the people and start the Chanran Bunji of his dreams. And being able to reach an alliance with an old enemy is also a major achievement in the diplomacy of Fusu and Meng Tian, so the political enemy Li Si is pressed down again. Therefore, in public and private, the alliance is the best choice for Fusu.

However, Moda knew very well that although on the surface it was Fusu who wanted the Xiongnu, in fact it was a diplomatic game. He must be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise if he is impulsive, he will be responsible for the history of the Xiongnu. Since it is a diplomatic game, it is necessary to negotiate the price.
