0309 Rights & Responsibilities (4th Update)
"Xi Tan is a character." Looking at the information in his hand, Wen Yi had to sigh like this.
"Yes, no one expected him to play an empty camp trick in front of Mu Yugen." Chai Ben praised.
"The Jin State has the appearance of a dead country, but there are many pillars of the ministers who continue to live, and it is not the time to die of the country." Chen Xiu said.
Xue Dayuan said with a smile: "This is a good thing, it is best that he can hold on for another twenty or thirty years, and then my Tang Kingdom has become a big trend, and it is time to send troops." ”
Mo Jun also laughed and said, "Haha...... In this way, his Sima family can be regarded as the king's caretaker. ”
Xue Dayuan said: "That's their honor." ”
"Haha......" everyone laughed.
Let's start from the beginning, Xi Tan led his troops to attack the direction of Gaoping, and Mu Yugen, the general of Yan State, went to defend, and the two sides won and lost each other for several rounds.
At this time, Xi Tan suddenly fell seriously ill and was almost unable to preside over the overall situation.
He was not flustered, first dragging his sick body in front to supervise the battle, and even had a few verbal battles with Mu Yugen.
When I returned to the camp, I couldn't support it and passed out.
However, before he passed out, he had already made a follow-up plan, first found a person of his size from the army to pretend to be him, and went to the front every day to supervise the battle.
Every night, they took advantage of the darkness to evacuate some of the soldiers and people.
Four days later, Mu Yugen finally found out that something was wrong, and it was too late to pursue again, and Xi Tan's army successfully withdrew, leaving only an empty camp.
Xie Yi and Xie Wan are brothers, but their abilities are many times stronger than him, and he is also very worried when he gets the message from Xi Tan.
But he continued to attack quietly, buying time for Xi Tan to retreat.
After confirming that Xi Tan had evacuated safely, he pulled out the camp and retreated.
Although the Yan army pursued at the end, the Yuzhou army was heavily defended and never gave them a chance, so they could only retreat unwillingly.
After a few days of fighting, Sima Yu finally realized one thing, relying on this little man in his hands, he couldn't help Yan Guo at all.
Coupled with the opposition of Chu Lianzi and the ministers of the DPRK and China, Xi Tan, whom he relied on, was seriously ill and had to withdraw his troops in a huff.
A war that seemed to be huge ended hastily.
After the news spread, everyone in the world praised Xi Tan's wit, and if he changed people, the whole army might collapse on the spot. And once his side fails, Xie Yi's side can't run away.
Without the loss of these two armies, Yuzhou and Xuzhou will fall into the hands of the Yan State, and at that time, the Jin State will completely lose the opportunity for the Northern Expedition.
Xie Yi's performance also surprised many people, everyone knew that he was short-tempered and good at drinking, but he didn't expect to be so calm at the critical moment.
At this dangerous time, he insisted on waiting until Xi Tanjun was out of danger before withdrawing.
Xie Daoyun breathed a sigh of relief, and some of the tense atmosphere in the harem also dissipated, and the smile returned.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang State were also very happy to see this situation, and if there was no war, no major changes in the international situation would be the most beneficial thing for them.
The haze of the harem dissipated, and Wen Yi was finally able to settle down and continue his great career of writing books.
This was written in Kaiyuan 3056 (Gong 359), which was the seventh year of Wenyi's crossing and the fifth year of the establishment of the Tang State.
On the 5th of March, it was stung.
The last word was written in this astronomical pen, and the book containing his core ideas was officially completed.
A thunderclap suddenly sounded and exploded in the air, shaking the hearts of all people, and then a long drizzle fell from the sky.
The spring rain is as precious as oil, and the people forget the horror caused by the thunder and immerse themselves in the joy brought by the rain.
But in places that are invisible to the naked eye, hibernating snakes and insects are also awakened by the thunder and revived one after another.
Mengqi City, the palace, Wen Yi listened to the thunder, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and gently stroked the thick manuscript on the table with one hand.
Rights and responsibilities are the name of the book.
As the name suggests, the content is about the power and responsibility between the state and the people, and the power and responsibility that people with different identities and positions enjoy.
The book has a total of 150,000 words, written in semi-vernacular. Wen Yi estimated that if it was changed to vernacular, it would take 400,000 words.
It's definitely a tome in this era.
Just compare it, "Tao Te Ching" is only more than 5,000 words; The number of words in the Analects is controversial, but it is also generally believed to be more than 10,000 words; The "Book of Songs" is less than 40,000 words.
The tome "Zuo Biography" has more than 190,000 words; "Warring States Policy" 120,000 words; The "Records of the Historians" is relatively long, with more than 526,000 words.
150,000 words is definitely a long story.
Moreover, almost all of those with more than 100,000 words are history books, and the classics that expound ideas are relatively short, mostly tens of thousands of words, and there are very few that exceed 100,000 words.
Wen Yi's "Rights and Responsibilities" is a purely theoretical book, without a word of nonsense, and it is all expounding his own ideological system.
In this respect, his 150,000 words can be called huge.
Of course, the achievement of a book has nothing to do with its length, the key is its content...... Anyway, Wen Yi felt that the content of his book would be regarded as a classic after thousands of years.
When the book was finished, he did not rush to print it, but copied it again to avoid accidental damage.
It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened in history, and it can't be a good book, and when it is sent to the publishing house, it catches fire.
After the transcription was completed, he still did not rush to print, but went to Xie Daoyun and asked her to read it first.
Xie Daoyun was also very happy to learn that his book was finished, and she couldn't wait to look through it, she really wanted to know what her husband was thinking.
But the shock of this book was beyond her imagination, and the first page alone made her scalp tingle.
What is Country? What is the people? How did the public power of the state come about?
What are the powers and responsibilities of the state? What rights and obligations do people have?
What is the essence of royalty and what are the powers and duties? What is the government and what are its powers and obligations...... Army...... Shinong, industry and commerce, etc.
In this book, Wen Yitong gives the answer, and it is a completely subversive answer.
He not only gave the answer, but also explained why it was the answer.
If this book is placed in another country and the author is changed, it will definitely be frustrated by the Nine Clans.
After just reading a few pages, Xie Daoyun really didn't dare to look any further.
She closed the book, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and said with a solemn expression, "You...... Are you really going to make this book public? ”
"Yes."
"Do you know the consequences of that?"
"There will be no consequences."
Xie Daoyun said excitedly: "How can there be no consequences...... After reading this book, how can we govern the world, and how can the people continue to obey our rule? ”
Wen Yi can fully understand her feelings, but his attitude will not change in any way because of this:
"If we can govern this country well, so that the people can live and work in peace. Not only will they support us, but they will also take the initiative to help us destroy all our enemies and maintain our rule. ”
"If we don't govern the country well...... And what qualifications do they have to continue to stand in this position? ”
