Chapter 40: The Right and Wrong of the Law of the Shang King

Zhaoxian Hall is the largest hall in Xianyang City.

Since the Qin State moved its capital, successive monarchs of the Qin State have received capable men and wise men from all over the world here.

This hall has not been open for a long time, and now for the sake of a hundred grand events, Daqin has opened this hall again.

The first is the attitude of Daqin on the surface, even if the hundred schools of thought do not deal with Daqin again, Daqin will still have a tolerant attitude.

The second is to tell the hundreds of capable people and wise men that if they want to enter the court as officials, as long as they enter the recruitment hall, Daqin will welcome them.

On this morning, the people of the hundreds of families entered the recruitment hall one after another.

No weapons are allowed in the Recruiting Hall, only the Tao, not the use of force.

Moreover, there are Great Qin soldiers guarding all around, and even the hundreds of schools of thought dare not blatantly do things here.

Qin Xi didn't expect that the First Emperor would attach so much importance to this grand event, and he would have such a big heart.

In later history books, the character of the First Emperor is fixed, narrow-minded, stubborn, brutal, and cold-blooded, which is synonymous with the First Emperor.

However, after coming into this world, it seems that everything is a little different.

The First Emperor is not that kind of person, he can listen to his words honestly, he is very inclusive, and he is not cold-blooded to the people, and he has not killed the hundreds of sons who oppose him on a large scale until now.

"Childe! Son! At this time, Qin Xi's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.

turned his head and saw that it was Li Bailu.

Today, Li Bailu is wearing a very decent dress, just like a noble lady.

"Bailu, why are you here?" Qin Xi asked.

Li Bailu smiled sweetly: "It's too boring in the town, so I came over to see this grand event with my son." ”

Qin Xi asked, "Where did you get this dress, it looks very expensive." ”

Li Bailu's eyes flickered, and he said, "This was given to me by Sister Liyang, is it good-looking?" As he spoke, he also circled in front of Qin Xi.

"It's good-looking, like a fairy." Qin Xi is not stupid, he must boast now, otherwise he will die a miserable death, and he is already very beautiful.

Li Bailu was also praised and blushed slightly, and asked, "Childe, when are we going in?" ”

Qin Xi said to the housekeeper: "Butler, you go back and prepare, just let Bailu and me go in." ”

"Okay son." After the housekeeper handed Qin Xi over to Bailu, he left.

"Childe, let's go." Bailu happily pushed Qin Xi towards the hall.

Since Qin Xi was in a wheelchair, he knew at a glance that he was unable to move, and there was only a little girl beside him.

Therefore, as soon as he encountered the threshold and stairs, the Great Qin sergeant next to him would come over to help and carry Qin Xi in with a wheelchair.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you......"

I don't know how many thanks I said, but I finally arrived at the center of the hall.

At this time, the first and second floors were already full of people, staring at the most central display platform one by one.

The display stood facing a place blocked by a curtain, on which the Wise Men and Magi used to present their theories, and the King of Qin would sit there.

"Childe, there are so many people, why don't you start?" Bailu asked.

"I don't know, let's watch first." Qin Xi said.

"Then let's go find a place." Bailu said.

"No, we're here." Qin Xi said.

"But this is the gate."

"It's okay, you can sit here." Qin Xi patted the armrest of the wheelchair and said.

"No, I'll stand." Bailu said shyly.

At this time, a young man stepped into the ring, first reported himself to his home, and then said his thesis.

"Students are studying under Confucianism, and the topic of today's students is, is the law of Shang Jun right or wrong at the moment? If the student thinks it is wrong, please ask any gentleman for advice. ”

This question can be said to be directed at the Legalists, who have always been proud of the success of Shang Jun's reform of the law, but now they are questioned as wrong.

"Childe, aren't the sons and hundreds of schools united, how do you feel that the person above is targeting the Legalists?" Bailu asked puzzled.

Qin Xi said: "The alliance also has the division of the leader and the members, and now that there is no soldier involved, this Confucianism and Legalism will naturally have to compete." ”

I saw a young man on the second floor jump down directly after getting up and standing in front of Kei.

"Legalist Zhang De, please give me advice. For more than 130 years, the Qin State has become stronger and stronger, while the Six Kingdoms have become weaker and weaker, which shows that the Law of Shang Jun is correct. ”

Ji Li put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "The law of Shang Jun has indeed played a role in strengthening Qin, but what I am talking about is the present.

If the law of the Shang monarch is right at the moment, why did Qiang Qin abolish the law of the Shang monarch and implement the law of governing the country? ”

Zhang De said: "Although the Qin people have changed the law, the foundation is still the law of the Shangjun of our Legalist family, and the foundation is still there, how can it be said that the law of the Shangjun is abolished."

In addition, this change is presided over by the head of our Legalist family, which can be said to be the improvement of the law of the Shang Jun by the leader, so the law of the Shang Jun is still correct. ”

Ji Li said with a smile: "Then may I ask, why did the Great Qin Reform use the word "governing the country" instead of the word Shangjun?" This is obviously to draw a clear line between this reform and Shangjun's reform. ”

"This! This! This! Zhang De was speechless for a moment.

Ji Li continued: "Since the Shang Emperor changed the law, the change of government and government has changed every time, why never mention the change of the law, but now it is mentioning the change of the law!" Obviously, the current law of Shang Jun is wrong! ”

Zhang De and the faces of the Legalists were a little ugly, the law of Shangjun has always been the pride of the Legalists, but now it is said by Confucianism that it is wrong, how can this be embarrassing.

Qin Xi said to Bailu, "Go and ask the two sergeants next to me to carry me up." ”

"Oh!" Bailu knew that Qin Xi was going up, and he immediately became excited.

"Zhang Decai's lack of learning has disgraced my Legalists!" Zhang De said and rushed directly to a pillar, and the next moment blood splattered on the spot.

"Mr. Gaoyi!" Ji Li bowed to Zhang De's corpse, and the others also stood up and bowed to Zhang De.

Although Zhang De lost the debate, he won the respect of everyone with his life.

After the Great Qin sergeant came over, he also wanted to bow to Zhang De, and then carried Zhang De out.

Kei was about to continue asking if anyone was coming to debate, when two sergeants walked down carrying a young man.

After the sergeant carried Qin Xi up, he went down.

Qin Xi arched his hand and said, "Under Qin Xi, please give advice." ”

"May I ask what kind of sect your Excellency is?" Kerei asked.

Qin Xi said with a smile: "There is no sect and no faction in Xia, it is just an idle official of Great Qin, and he does not agree with what Your Excellency said, so he has come to give advice." ”

"Oh? Then why do you think that Shang Jun's law is right at the moment? Kerei asked.

Qin Xi leaned on the wheelchair and said, "Because there is no right or wrong in this world, so how can it be right or wrong?" ”

"There is no right or wrong, why do you think so. You must know that the mistakes of the Six Kingdoms in changing the law back then, and the right changes of the Shang monarchs, Qin can sweep away the Six Kingdoms. Kei said.

"It's just a matter of how strong or weak the law is." Qin Xi said: "The root of changing the law lies in strengthening the country and enriching the people.

The reason why Daqin is implementing the law of governing the country today is not that the law of the Shang monarch is wrong, but the progress of the times, which has led to the weakening of the law of the Shang monarch, so it must be changed.

As long as the core of the reform is to restore the country and strengthen the people, there is no right or wrong, but it will also change with the development of the times. Just like us, we should brave the world when we are young, but when we are old, we must change our lives and cultivate at home.

Therefore, there is no right or wrong in this change, it is just whether it is strong or weak, suitable or inappropriate. ”
