Rectify state affairs, enrich the country and strengthen the army.

With this as the axis, the small court banquet was finally held in the Imperial Hall when deciding how to settle the displaced people of the Six Kingdoms.

Guanzhong's farmland was irrigated, the fields were prosperous, the people became rich, the population increased, and the agriculture and workers were prosperous, representing the further strengthening of the national strength of the Qin State.

Coupled with the commercial encouragement brought by the virgin Baqing, Xianyang City was full of merchants from all over the world for a while, and became the world's first metropolis in one fell swoop.

Now the court meeting is to list the major policies of the Qin State.

It was the ministers of the Qin State who came to show their ambitions with a full stomach and a full of joy on their faces.

Ying Zheng stood up and greeted him solemnly.

The ministers seated were in addition to the good generals of the tiger ministers and the old ministers of the Qin State.

There is also a new minister, Zheng Guo, a minister who can control water.

He compiled the book of war, and called himself Wei Yi with his official position.

Yao Jia, who can speak well and was born in the world, and the great talent of the diplomatic relationship who knows how to meet each other is weak.

As soon as the weak party sat down, he saw that their monarch was only wearing a black robe coat with silver patterns, and the faint embroidery of the underwear could be seen in the thin ones, and he and the other ministers were wearing thick and heavy coats, so he sighed and sighed: "The sky is cold and the ground is freezing, and the king is really a dragon and a tiger." ”

Ying Zheng still rolled up his sleeves slowly, and his chin was cold.

The deep thought in the eyes of the other ministers came to fruition.

invariably smiled heartily.

Now it's the turn of the sluggish and rewarding officialdom who is weak and confused.

After all, Meng Yi and Meng Tian are also men of the same age, and they have grown up with Jun Shang to practice martial arts since childhood.

glanced at each other, and their faces were full of ridicule.

Seeing that Yingzheng was indifferent, Meng Yi took the lead in raising the bronze lord and said to these "new Qin people", "Our Qin country does not have those old-fashioned rules of the Shandong countries, whoever can come up with a good prescription and cure the country's chronic diseases is the last word, come!" Ladies and gentlemen, sir. ”

The ministers unanimously raised the knighthood.

Ying Zheng sat in a high position, said a few words routinely, and in the steaming mutton Dading, Hu spicy soup and pot helmet, the vigorous court banquet officially began.

Lanling wine is in the belly, and there are people with lofty ideals who are erudite and highly educated.

Everyone relaxed, and you and I talked about it happily.

When talking about two sentences, it is inevitable to involve good policies for governing the country.

and Yingzheng sat on the top and was silent, as if invisible.

They have wine in their bellies, and they have hearts and minds, and they gather into eloquent words, on the occasion of studying heaven and man, discussing ancient and modern events, the place of death and life, the way of survival, the pros and cons of officials, and the hegemony of kingship

When the wine is strong.

There are also Meng Yi and Meng Tian in it.

For a time, the debate was in full swing.

Ying Zheng listened to the endless words of these wise men for governing the country, and his finger bones lightly buckled the long case, which was deeply buried in the bottom of his eyes.

The weak old man's face flushed: "According to the situation, South Korea is the throat of the world, and Wei is located in the chest and abdomen of the world. If the king is willing to pay ten thousand gold, his ministers are willing to go east to Han and Wei. And instigated the ministers of the two countries to obey the king's orders, so that the two countries would submit, and then the world! ”

He said, "Good." ”

No, it's not enough.

The lieutenant at the bottom was sonorous and passionate, and presented the military book "Wei Xuanzi" and said, "The four generations of the Wei family plan, absorb the essence of hundreds of soldiers, understand actual combat military affairs, and aspire to spread the military Tao in the world, and hope that the King of Qin will smile, this book will definitely be able to add wings to the army of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, and sweep the six countries of Shandong in the coming day!" ”

The other ministers said: "Cai Cai Cai! ”

He said, "Good." ”

This is only external disintegration, and what the Qin State needs is that all-powerful weapon. Make Daqin a towering mountain with banners waving, and make Daqin an empire that can hardly be matched by future generations.

The people below admonished one after another, but they were all axles, not the axis of planning.

Until Li Si, who was kneeling on the side and was silent, suddenly said: "Si has the courage to say a word."

This Jixia student is a popular person in front of King Qin.

And as soon as Li Tingwei, who heard that the queen was very happy, spoke, the audience instantly fell silent.

I heard him say slowly, "I think that those who are good at the day are strong, and those who are good at the time are domineering." ”

Ying Zheng: "Oh? ”

Everyone was also stunned, "What is a good day, and what is a good time, Li Tingwei, you can talk about it well." ”

Li Si's voice was slow, his back straightened, "Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps." Ten horses, the merit is reluctant, the minister thinks, want to go down one day, first accumulate a little. ”

Dun Liang and Meng Wuqi stroked their beards together.

Suddenly, his weak eyes flickered a few times, and he looked at the old ministers who were communicating left and right at the same time, and he didn't find the answer, he resolutely asked, "Li Tingwei just said that the bully, and the accumulation of subtlety, could it be that the mystery of the word "domineering" is accumulating?" ”

"Exactly."

Li Si said, "Accumulation is small, the month is not better than the day, the time is not better than the month, and the year is not better than the time." Ordinary people only look at important things, but they are often arrogant about small things, but they don't know that small things are frequent, and there are more cumulative results, and big things are accidental, and there are fewer cumulative results. The king who cherishes the time, the sun, and the season will be able to achieve results in these small things and big things, so as to dominate the princes, but if the king wastes the small things, he will bring about his own destruction. Treasures have always been valued for greatness, but political and religious fame is the opposite. Therefore, only a king who can accumulate little fruits can succeed. ”

In the eyes of the surrounding ministers, Li Si slowly spit out: "Yes, the word 'accumulation' is the real weapon of the country." ”

"Caicai!"

"Tingwei is highly talented, above us."

"I heard that the students under the Jixia are erudite and knowledgeable, self-cultivation and self-encouragement, and there is no shortage of strong talents in governing the country.

Yao Jia took the lead in raising a glass.

Li Si's wine is also a little smoky, and the limelight that he has gained by showing his talent and strategy is unbelievably refreshing when mixed with him.

Even the prime minister clinked glasses with him, and his face was ashamed.

When the king raised his glass to look at him.

This kind of honor and recognition, Li Si's heart is flowing with indescribable passion and happiness, and he has been suppressed by Lu Buwei by the clan for several years, and now it is his turn Li Si to show his ambitions.

Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Okay! Good! Good! The talent of the Qing is immeasurable. ”

It turns out that the king knows it in his heart.

Confidante also!

Li Si's eyes were sour and red, and the Lanling wine was poured into his abdomen, and the heat instantly spread to his limbs.

He sat down, and saw a fluttering instrument, with a muffled voice and a pleasant satisfaction on his face.

"Your Majesty, the minister also knows that there is a giant who is equally immeasurable, and he is Han Feizi."

Li Si's pleasure disappeared in an instant like ice and snow melting, with this name, the memories that crawled out of the grave were too many, too frightened, and now the moment of real arrival, he seemed to be standing on top of the listening rain song tower, looking at the ferry that was getting closer and closer, and the west wind was shining on the remnant sun.

The hands were sweaty, and the wine lord held it tightly.

The speaker's face also came into his eyes, overlapping and completely revealed.

Meng family, Meng Yi.

*

Han fei.

Han Feizi.

The sound of the horn prompts the dawn to leak, and the dawn returns to the bullfight.

Ying Zheng stood under the eaves and thought for an hour, at this time, the stars were moving, the sky was about to break, his brows were furrowed, and his jaw was tight.

When hundreds of schools of thought are contending today, it has long been far away from the era of Zhou Tianzi's "etiquette and pleasure", and now it is the rule of emphasizing "human feelings", that is, the truth of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages according to human nature.

Therefore, there will be a series of laws that emphasize merit, agriculture and business, reward farming, and profit a hole.

Shang Jun's avenue is not wrong, but what is missing, this is not the real law.

What is the true rule of law?

What is a true Legalist?

Ying Zheng has been an unswerving operator of Qin Law since he read through the Book of Shang Jun from the beginning to now, but he always feels in his heart that the strict law is not the real rule of law.

In the continuous passage of ancient and modern times, until I read "Han Feizi", the words that reveal the ugliness and greed of willfulness to the fullest.

He drank Lanling wine bitterly, and just woke up from a big dream.

If you don't understand this vulgar greed and lust for power, how can you restrain vulgar greed and lust for power? How can you use power to control and magic to control. In this bloody and naked avenue of blood, you can even return the favor with its way.

"Immeasurable, unfathomable, the same as the name of the punishment, the examination of the law, the unauthorized one. Kill! Hahahaha. When he read this, he was greatly impressed, and what he admired most was, "The Tao is invisible, it is used in the unknowable, it is quiet, and it is dark and flawed." ”

This is also the means he uses to inspire ministers to give advice at today's banquet.

But after calming down.

Ying Zheng realized that Han Fei was not like other officials who came to Qin to seek officials, but what he asked for was money, power, and reputation. These can be given or induced.

But Han Fei is the son of South Korea, and he wrote a book and said, what is the reputation of Qian Quan?

What's more, when he came to Qin this time, he was burdened with the rise and fall of his homeland and his bitter hatred for Qin.

And from the moment he came to Qin, he was already in an invisible competition with himself. He is a Legalist giant, and he is proficient in political shady, and he will definitely become a monument of Legalist civilization in the future, and even create a feat that is better than that of Shang Jun.

Such a person, if he can assist him, is certainly like a tiger with wings.

But what if not

Li Si's cold voice lingered in his ears, and Ying Zheng didn't know what it was.

That day's conversation was also the first time he discovered the thunderous methods of his henchman, and he even listened to him say this sentence with some appreciation in his heart.

Li Si said: "The great talents that cannot be used by the King of Qin must not be driven by other countries, and they can only be killed one by one." ”

*

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is a good time in April.

The warm breeze wrapped in pieces of petals blew softly on people's faces, the people with fragrant flowers were drowsy, and the white peaches shuttled among the flowers, and I saw a few laughing palace maids running over in the flowers.

Their young cheeks were red and sweat-stained, and they were innocent and innocent.

When he saw the white peach, he saluted, and then said: "Queen, you see, this wind kite should belong to the slave maid, and it blows higher." ”

The sky is clear, and the egrets are in their wake.

I saw three or two fluttering wind kites swaying in it, the most significant is the diamond-shaped wind kite, which is constructed with thin bamboo chips, supplemented by twine, mixed with dried leather, and made of slurry.

In ancient times, Mozi listened to the wood as an osprey, and it became a three-year event, and it was defeated in one day.

Today, there is a white peach, a little fox who is messing around, using bamboo as a flute, so that the wind enters the bamboo, and the sound is like a kite.

Seeing that the wind kite was put steadily, Bai Tao was happy in her heart, and took a jade pendant from her waist and threw it to her, "Good luck!" You'll be rewarded! ”

The palace maid got the jade pendant, her eyes were shining, and she saluted happily: "Thank you, Queen." ”

The palace maid next to her hugged the palace maid again, running and shouting, everything was noisy, like big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate, and looking at the wind kite flying above, you say a word I don't have fun.

Rui'er beside her said: "That is the jade pendant in the Wu Palace, and the queen even said that she would reward it." ”

"I'm glad to see it." Bai Tao said, taking two steps forward.

As if he remembered something, he suddenly teased her, "Isn't there anything else, you don't have it, you don't have it, you look at it and you're jealous?" ”

Rui'er hurriedly said: "No. That's not what slave means. ”

As if she knew something, Bai Tao blinked twice.

Then he untied a jade pendant on his waist, and only the jade pendant of King Qin was instantly empty on his waist.

After throwing it to her, he said, "Last time, my brother said that the daughters-in-law of other families all gave their husbands Junxiu tricks, but he didn't have them, I know that you mortals have always cared about this, others have it, and you can't fall personally, since you follow me, I can't miss you and wronged you." ”

Rui'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "The queen's exception to the slave and maid is good enough, everything is eaten and dressed, and the slave and maid are allowed to return to their hometown to visit their parents." The slave is really "

"You tell me these things too."

Bai Tao faced the wind and interrupted her.

Her face was blown to a puff, and her hair was swaying with a red gold phoenix jade pendant, "You have followed me for many years, and you have worked hard for me in the palace, and this time to improve the wind kite, you also found a skilled craftsman from outside, and the materials are also prepared by you." ”

He said in a low voice, "Looking at the other six countries, do you look at which dynasty and which generation of female envoys are doing as well as you?" ”

Rui'er was praised with a big red face, "Queen."

The queen picked a few more flowers and gave them to her, don't be full, "I don't want to talk to you and talk to the people in the palace like that, I will be good to you in the future, don't say too much, you just bear it." ”

After saying that, she tilted her head, her eyes narrow.

The tip of Rui'er's nose was sour, and the warmth of the spring breeze followed, "Yes, Queen." ”

A fox and a man walked among the flowers, and the branches fluttered and trembled, and they stepped out of one of the tail paths.

Bai Tao asked her brother about it again.

Rui'er replied one by one: "Xiao He, the younger brother of the slave, is doing things with Tingwei, and he is learning the six laws of the Qin State. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, "It seems that he also wrote some of his unique insights into the law, and he often corresponded with the slaves and maids, saying that Li Tingwei could appreciate him." ”

Bai Tao nodded: "That's good." ”

"How dare you be praised by the queen." Rui'er said, "But I just like these laws and laws, and they can't be called good words, Li Tingwei is now organizing the revision of the Qin law, and he can help the slaves and maids feel at ease if nothing goes wrong." If you have a future interest, you can repay the queen, and it is better to serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

"Always be a doorman at Li Si's place, why don't you just take a half-official position in the Qin State and show your ambitions?"

"That kid said that Li Tingwei was born in a high school, and his talent is unparalleled in the world, and he can always stay by his side to learn something, even if it is some fur, it is much more useful than having to be in other places." Rui'er said softly, "How can a fledgling that has not grown all its hair dare to be driven by the queen and sharpen him twice, then you will know the height of this world." ”

Bai Tao nodded his head and didn't say much.

The blue sky is clear, with a few thin clouds.

Compared with the undulating and glorious palace of the Qin Dynasty, it is particularly quiet.

Before I got out of the flowers, I saw a dark shadow standing under the pear blossom tree not far away. Bai Tao's heart jumped suddenly.

Rui'er also saw it, "Ah, yes, it's the king who came up to take the queen back to the palace." ”

"Oops." Bai Tao touched her body carelessly, and asked her anxiously, "Did you bring the Analects?" ”

"Huh?"

Rui'er also reacted and shook her head: "After returning to the queen, the slave maid has never carried it with me." ”

Whoever comes out to enjoy the spring still carries a book of Analects.

Hearing that he didn't bring it, Bai Tao instantly drooped his head and walked over, thinking that he was finished, and now he couldn't even pretend to be decorating, and he had to be counted again.

Ying Zheng was still standing in place, looking at the wind kite in the sky.

There may be thoughtfulness between his handsome eyebrows, and he is tall, and the snow-like pear blossom branch almost fell sideways on his shoulder, and when he turned to face the white peach, the petals fell all over the ground.

He asked, "Who made the wind kite, but it is exquisite, and Gu has never seen it before." ”

After a pause in his voice, he saw the little fox's legs and feet rubbing, hanging his head and drooping his head.

Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "What's wrong with the leg?" ”

Bai Tao was pretending to think deeply, and he didn't think about it, so he immediately spoke: "I'm not playful, I just ran out with a group of palace maids to comprehend the customs of the Qin Kingdom, and by the way, I was looking for the inspiration of the ancestors!" When he looked up, he looked at her with deep pupils, and everything was silent.

She choked on herself.

"My legs are fine, I just stepped on too much mud, and I didn't get used to it for a while." ”

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, just took his hands.

The corners of the lips faintly evoked a touch of arc, at this time the pear blossom tree was tilted east and west, the wind blew, and the petals were layered on top of each other, illuminating him like a piece of beautiful jade casting, and the style was wonderful.

He didn't even say anything.

Bai Tao looked at him strangely several times, and also stood with him to look at the wind kite. After a few moments, he asked, "Did you make this kite?" ”

"I did it, it is rumored that Mo Zhai made a wooden bird out of wood, developed for three years, and then Lu Gong used bamboo as a support, anyway, it is boring to stay in the palace, it is better to tinker."

This is a kite thing, and it's just such a gadget.

However, with a lot of money, the craftsmen gathered together to brainstorm, and the movement of the sample was not small, and it was impossible to hide it.

Only to tell the truth.

After speaking, Bai Tao turned his head and pointed at him with the bud head that was full of flowers from Rui'er, "You are not allowed to say anything, it is a trick and a trick, you see, let go of a wind kite, and the big guys can be happy." ”

Again, it was unexpected.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, he just looked up at the sky, the lines like jade carvings were so beautiful that Bai Tao couldn't help but look back twice.

Until I heard him say, "I have done a good trick, and I may be useful in the future." ”

The little fox was stunned when he heard the compliment, his lips opened slightly, and the bud tilted his head to look at him, just like that, he looked obedient and skillful.

He easily put his hand on her head and rubbed it, "Go, go with Gu to a prince." ”

Xunzi "Strong Country"
