Chapter 004: Former and Backward, Villain Behavior
"General Meng, how does my wine taste?"
A table, on which are placed three hot dishes, one cold dish, two jars of wine, Ying Chengcheng and Meng Tian sit and drink together.
Meng Tian's face has been exposed to a lot of sun because he has been fighting in the army all year round, and it is dark and yellow.
But now, there is only one color on his face, red!
The red glow, the face is full of red light!
"Tian didn't lead the troops, so he can't be called a general."
The officials of the Qin State did not have generals, and only when they went out to fight and led the troops to fight, they would be temporarily crowned with titles such as generals and generals.
When you are not fighting outside, in principle, you cannot use the title of general.
This is also part of the provisions of the Qin law, which penetrates into all aspects of the Qin state and is all-encompassing.
Of course, if Ying Cheng was to be replaced by Meng Tian's familiar friend, Meng Tian would not be so cautious.
"Tian has never drunk such a strong wine in his life, and Zhao's Hu wine is famous for being strong, but it is far inferior to Chang'an Jun's wine."
In fact, although Zhao Guohu wine is famous for its fierceness, it is recognized by people who are addicted to alcohol that if it is a strong wine, the wine of the king of Chu is the recognized leader.
Ying Chengyun heard that Meng Tian did not mention the wine of the king of Chu, but compared with Zhao Guohu's wine, his smile was stronger.
He wouldn't think that Meng Tian, who had attacked the Chu State, had not tasted the wine of the King of Chu.
"Hahahaha, if you like it, come on, go to two more altars!"
"No!"
Meng Tian dissuaded.
He thinks he is not drunk with a thousand cups, but this time, he has doubts about himself.
There is no way, now he is a little confused, and if he drinks it again, he is sure that he will be drunk, this wine is too strong! It is stronger than the wine of the king of Chu!
The people of Qin banned alcohol, and although there was wine in the mansion of Qin Chen, the taste was not good, and the intensity was not high, which was far from other countries.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that the Qin State did not have a good winemaking method and did not want to study and study.
In the state of Qin, everything was responsible for two things, farming and fighting.
Farming provides food to fight wars, and wars gain land for farming, which forms a simple closed loop.
Winemaking not only has no positive effect on farming and warfare, but it has a counterproductive effect, because wine is made from grain.
The state of Qin believed that it was a great waste to take grain and make wine.
Therefore, not only is alcohol banned by the people, but the royal family does not promote drinking, and Yingzheng himself does not advocate drinking.
From top to bottom, the attitude of the Qin State towards wine is like this, and naturally no one will study winemaking.
No one studies winemaking, and the quality of Qin wine naturally cannot be improved.
In a word—anything that had no positive impact on farming and warfare could not be developed in the Qin state.
"Chang'anjun, if you drink it again, Tian will get drunk."
Ying Chengcheng picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, and Meng Tian was slightly surprised when he saw it.
The two of them have always been drinking each other, you have a bottle and I have a bottle, and Ying Cheng is no less drunk than Meng Tian.
But now Meng Tian's face is as red as Guan Gong of the Three Kingdoms in later generations.
Ying Chengcheng still looked as usual, not drunk, as if the two were not drinking the same wine.
Meng Tian's fingers unconsciously rubbed the wine bottle in his hand.
The amount of alcohol in this guy is very good, and yes, the royal family has enough drinks, he doesn't learn and has no skills, and he has been drinking for pleasure since he was a child. After all these years of practice, it is also appropriate to drink more than me.
Fortunately, the first king took back His Majesty from the Zhao State, otherwise the Qin State would fall into the hands of this shame, let alone dominate the world, and it is unknown whether there is a Qin State in the world now.
The previous king of the Qin State was named Ying Yiren, and later changed to Yingzi Chu, known as King Xiang of Qin Zhuang in history. King Xiang of Qin Zhuang had only two sons, namely Ying Zheng and Ying Cheng.
More than ten years ago, if King Xiang of Qin Zhuang did not take back Yingzheng from Zhao, the one who took over the throne of Qin would be Yingcheng.
"Are you satisfied with this dish?"
"I am very satisfied, compared to the things of His Majesty's banquet, not much more."
Here Meng Tian told a lie, but fortunately, his face was very ruddy, and he couldn't see it in his expression.
The taste of the dishes in Chang'an Junfu is far better than the taste of the palace dishes, otherwise Ying Fusu would not have come here three times or twice to eat.
"Okay, you are the same age as my imperial brother, so I will call you Brother Meng. Now that the food has been eaten and the wine has been drunk, Brother Meng, it's time to tell me about Confucianism. ”
Sure enough, this shaft is very attentive to the eldest son, and Meng Tian said secretly.
Meng Tian looked down on Ying Cheng, but he still stayed to eat and drink, and his speech was obviously different from when he first came, in order to help Yingsu.
Otherwise, even if he knew in advance that the wine of Chang'an Junfu was so delicious and the food was so delicious, he would not have stayed.
To be precise, he won't stay. He would have thought it a shame to drink with such a pleasure-hungry and indulgent appetite.
"Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples, how can Tian be worthy of being placed alongside Your Majesty, let Chang'an Jun say brother, Chang'an Jun can call Tian's name."
Ying Chengcheng nodded.
He knew that this was because Meng Tian didn't want to have a relationship with him, and he didn't even want to be called him, he was alienating him, but he didn't care.
So what?
He just wanted to learn about his eldest nephew's situation through Meng Tian.
The purpose of the two people is the same, which can be regarded as a two-way street.
"The teacher of the eldest son, surnamed Chunyu, named Yue, a native of Qi. He used to be a doctor of Qi Guo, and now he is a servant of my country, and he is a Confucian student and has great influence in Confucianism. The words and deeds of the eldest son are deeply affected by Chun Yu Yue, and now the court is against His Majesty, and it will be inseparable from Chun Yu Yue! ”
Ying Cheng sipped wine, smashed it, smashed it, and smashed it.
"Is Confucianism a great influence in the Qin State?"
According to Ying Chengyun's understanding, the Qin State has always been the world of Legalism.
Confucianism, an incomparably prominent sect in later generations, has always been unpopular in the Qin State.
Meng Tian's hands shook and he gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for Ying Fusu, he would have left the table angrily at this moment.
This shame of not learning and not knowing!
Even the power of the court is not very clear!
I don't know if the two prime ministers can't persuade them, how did this ruler say that His Majesty would suspend the eldest son's departure from the capital.
Maybe Your Majesty figured it out for himself, this shaft is just an introduction, and I'm wasting my time here!
Meng Tian thought so, but he didn't dare to bet on whether Yingzheng figured it out by himself, so he could only continue to explain: "The world is unified, Your Majesty recruits talents from all over the world, and all the sons and hundreds of schools can enter Qin as officials." Confucianism is the world's most prominent learning, and the number of protégés is now greater than that of Confucianism. ”
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State has always been a holy place for Legalists.
It is also the only country in the world that purely governs the country with legalism, gathering all the world's legal students.
Once the number of people gathered reaches a certain level, they will seek to speak, not to mention this situation where a hundred schools of thought are contending.
The right to speak is placed in the court of the Qin State, which is called political appeal.
"I see."
Ying Chengcheng nodded.
"I'll take care of that."
If others made this clear, Meng Tian would believe it. But Ying Cheng Cheng was silent, and Meng Tian was silent.
Got it?
What do you understand?
Do you really get it?
I don't seem to be that clear.
Seeing that Meng Tian did not react, Ying Chengcheng said: "Confucianism advocates governing the country with etiquette, subduing people with virtue, and restoring Zhou etiquette. The eldest nephew was used and became the mouthpiece of Confucianism. Tomorrow's court meeting, I will explain it to the imperial brother. ”
Meng Tian said gratefully: "There is Lao Changjun." ”
Does this shaft really understand?
It is a very ordinary thing in others, but when it is put on Ying Chengcheng, Meng Tian feels very incredible.
In the eyes of the Qin people, Ying Cheng is really too bad.
The subordinates sent Meng Tian away, and Ying Cheng poured himself a drink. Fang stopped Meng Tian's drunkard, entered without knocking on the door, and sat in the place where Meng Tian was sitting.
"This Meng Tian is a villain! The leading generals of the Qin State are really not as good as the generation. ”
