"In the order of change, the next step is to talk about South Korea." Ji Heng paused for a moment and said slowly: "But I decided to talk about Yan Guo first." ”

Partition wall.

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fu Su sat down.

He had always been curious about Ji Heng's attitude towards Yan Guo.

Ji Heng frowned and said: "The time of the Yan Kingdom is very early, as early as the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it was established as the fief of the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, but in my impression, the Yan Kingdom has only one change, and that is Le Yi's change." ”

"But in my opinion, Yan Guo's change should not be only once, because Yan Guo has existed for too long, and it is almost the same as Zhou's Guozuo."

"In more than 800 years, there has only been one change in the law, and normally speaking, it can't be maintained at all."

"In the past, it was as strong as the Jin Kingdom, which existed for more than 600 years, during which it also carried out institutional innovation, and in the end it was difficult to resist the fate of collapse, as well as the original Qi State, which was also tragically defeated by the Tian family, these vassal states that were established at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, only carried out one large-scale reform, and the result was either collapsed or replaced, and it stands to reason that it could not support the Warring States."

"Because there are too many shortcomings, it is difficult to return."

"But Yan Guo is an exception."

"Although I am a Yan person, I was moved to Xianyang when I was young, and I don't know much about the past history of Yan Kingdom, and the only memory I have is Le Yi's change."

"Therefore, Yan Guo's change of law will be relatively rough."

Hu Hai frowned.

He also doesn't know much about the history of the Yan Kingdom.

I didn't have any ideas.

Separated by a wall, Fusu's face was slightly embarrassed.

He knew why.

After Qin destroyed Yan, because of old grievances, the annals of Yan were burned together.

Now only the Great Qin Mansion has a lone book.

Although Ji Heng is a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom, he has always only existed in the palace and is not publicly displayed, only those who have survived for hundreds of years, and there may be a small number of records left in the family, as for the ordinary nobles, they only know some major events, and they have basically forgotten for a long time.

After all, the cost of bamboo slips is very high in these years.

Not many aristocrats would use bamboo slips to record things that have nothing to do with them.

What's more, the world has been war-torn for a long time, many nobles have been decayed in the war, and the bamboo slips in the clan have also been lost.

It's just that with the unification of the world, all of these have returned to Great Qin.

As for why the first emperor destroyed the historical materials of the Yan Kingdom.

It is a matter of old and new grievances.

One is the opposition between the first emperor and the crown prince Dan, the second is Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, and the third is when the Great Qin destroyed Chu, Yan Guo has been exerting pressure everywhere, creating a lot of pressure on Qin to destroy Chu, if it weren't for the first emperor to withstand the pressure, otherwise Qin's fate would not be very good.

Because of this, the First Emperor held a breath in his heart, and as soon as the Qin army defeated the Chu army, he immediately asked Wang Ben to destroy Yan.

Yan Guo's library was really angry.

Even, the first emperor didn't want to keep a lonely book, or the old prime minister Wang Juan at that time, privately explained a few words to Wang Ben, which kept some historical records, but even if it was transported back to Xianyang, it was directly shelved, and no one dared to sort it out so far.

Ji Heng didn't know this, and said to himself: "I don't know what happened in Yan Guo in the past, so I don't talk too much about it. ”

"However, I remember that Su Dai, the secretary of the Yan State, once said: Although Yan is small, it is good at attaching to a big country, and if it is attached to Qi to the east, it will be strong if it is attached to Qin, and if it is attached to Chu Wei to the south, it will be strong if it is Chu Wei."

"Maybe Yan survived by relying on a strong country."

Ji Heng chuckled and shook his head.

"Straight to the point."

"Le Yi's changes are mainly 'to observe the ability and confer officials', 'follow the law, obey the evildoers, and give to the budding subordinates'."

"It's just that Yan used to claim to be the most orthodox feudal state outside Zhou, so the reform was very conservative, the country was conservative, sticking to the royal road, and Le Yi's reform only improved some of the royal road system that had already been riddled with holes, and finally with Le Yi's flight, this conservative change also failed."

"In a nutshell."

"Because of its profound historical heritage, coupled with its self-proclaimed orthodoxy of the Zhou Dynasty, the Yan State has always adhered to the royal political tradition, even if there is a change, it is difficult to eradicate it thoroughly, and this situation is actually similar to that of the Chu State."

"The state of Chu established itself as king in the Spring and Autumn Period, and since then it has been divided and ruled."

"Yan Guo has adhered to the royal road from beginning to end, and the royal road tradition is deep-rooted,"

"All the countries in the world, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, almost all abandoned the royal road Zhou ceremony, but the Yan Kingdom did not, the royal road tradition has been inherited in Yan for eight hundred years, this royal road inheritance is too long, and it has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is extremely difficult to change this tradition that is almost integrated into the bones."

"In particular, Qin's system is completely different from the royal Zhou ceremony."

"The conflict between the two cultures is even worse."

"However, after Qin destroyed Yan, he killed the nobles of the capital of Yan State, and the resistance to the implementation of the Qin system was not so great."

"But Yan Zhao is a chivalrous man."

"If the royal tradition of Yandi is not eradicated, there will always be a gap between Qin and Yan."

"In the past, although the Yan State has been poor and weak, in the face of the strong Qin, it has never given up resistance, and has been trying to fight for its life, and in the face of the inhumane tyranny of the 'Tyrannical Qin', under the fierce confrontation between the two cultures, the combat power that the Yan people can break out should not be underestimated."

"It's a fight to the death."

"At least the nobles and knights of Yan Land will not give in easily."

Ji Heng paused, picked up the wine jug, and took a sip of it.

Partition wall.

Fusu was thoughtful.

Hearing what Ji Heng said, he immediately understood why the first emperor insisted on burning the annals of Yan Kingdom.

Because Zhou Li and Qin Law are incompatible.

If the books of the Yan Kingdom are allowed to survive, it will inevitably exacerbate the conflict between the two places.

Yan Guo has been practicing the royal road for more than 800 years, and the royal road has been respected by many officials in the court, if the books of Yan Guo are brought back to Xianyang, it will inevitably attract officials to read and quote, and then it will be victimized.

It will even cause the court to waver.

If the annals of the Yan Kingdom attracted the monarchs of the later generations of Great Qin.

Let future generations of monarchs follow suit.

This will undoubtedly plunge Great Qin into turmoil.

This is obviously not what the First Emperor wanted to see.

Fusu raised his head and looked at Xianyang Palace, his mind unsettled for a long time.

"Etiquette and law."

"These are two cultures."

"Great Qin can only tolerate one kind."

"Did my father choose the Fa from the beginning?"

"So the various controversies after the founding of the country have actually been decided a long time ago?"

Fusu smiled bitterly.

He couldn't guess what the First Emperor really thought at that time.

Is it really a momentary moment?

Or is it well thought out?

He didn't know.

It's completely indistinguishable.

Ji Heng turned sideways, leaned comfortably, and continued: "Since we have talked about Yan Zhao Duoyishi, let's continue to talk about Zhao Guo." ”

"Zhao's transformation is intuitive."

"Hufu Cavalry Shooting."

"Although the follow-up reform involves other aspects, the most important thing is this 'Hu'."
