Chapter 105: Did the mouse really go to be a bridesmaid for the cat?
Ying Fu smiled: "Is Lu Xiang joking with us?" ”
Yingfu pointed at the prisoners in the prison and sneered and asked, "Even these common people can also oppose my Great Qin?" ”
"How dare you say the opposite?!"
China has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are many examples of common people rebelling, but how can there ever be a successful one?
Not a single case!
No one, including these torturers, thought that one day the common people would overthrow this great court!
So in the face of Yingjie's fingers and sneering gaze, all the tortured people lowered their heads in fear, and did not dare to look at Yingjie at all.
None of them committed a capital crime, and they were still alive after being tortured.
But if it angers these nobles, it is not necessarily.
What's more, Ying Chengke is still standing behind!
On more than one occasion, these prisoners have seen death row inmates taken away, and then life is worse than death.
They don't want to try their skills.
Yingjie smiled and looked at Lu Buwei: "Lu Xiang also saw it, this is the common people!" ”
"My Great Qin has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and I am the hero of the world, and I have no fear in the face of many enemy countries."
"On the other hand, these ordinary people, they can't even prepare food and grass for the uprising."
"Even if my Great Qin is weak, they can't and dare not oppose my Great Qin at all!"
Lu Buwei refuted in a deep voice: "Weiyang Jun should not underestimate the common people of the world. ”
"You must know that the foundation of the temple lies in the people!"
"If public opinion is in turmoil, the world will be in chaos!"
"Maybe the common people don't have enough ability to completely subvert the imperial court, but if the whole world is against it, how much does the imperial court need to spend to quell the chaos?"
"And if the nobles of the old country stand up and lead the common people, the situation will inevitably be even more dangerous!"
"It's not impossible to subvert Great Qin!"
Yingjie shook her head: "You need to know? Why do you need to know? ”
"The foundation of the temple lies in the people, what is the origin of this statement?"
"Why have you never heard of it?"
Lü Buwei bowed his hand: ""Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: Wuben"! ”
"Mencius also said: The people are precious, and the community is secondary."
As for the final 'Jun is light', Lü Buwei did not say it.
Because Lü Buwei knew that Yingzheng didn't like to hear this.
Now is a good time to persuade Yingzheng to accept a lenient probation, and Lü Buwei does not want to be troubled by the contradictions of the monarchy.
Ying Wei shook his head, and his voice sneered: "This was originally said by Lu Xiang, no wonder Benjun has never heard of it." ”
"Lu Xiang's "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is really not readable by ordinary people, and Benjun has a headache every time he opens a volume."
"I never thought that there are such wise sayings hidden in "Lu's Spring and Autumn"!"
Yingjie himself did not support the Shangjun Law.
Yingjie hated Shang Ying, and even hated to dig up Shang Ying's grave and dig out Shang Ying's bones to make wine and drink.
Because the Shang Dynasty greatly restricted the rights of the clan, and even more limited the system of sub-feudalism.
From this point of view, Yingjie should have supported Lü Buwei, because Lü Buwei was very supportive of the sub-sealing system.
In fact, Yingjie did support Lü Buwei at the beginning.
But after watching "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", Yingfu realized that Lü Buwei only hoped that Yingzheng could divide talents such as Wang Jian as princes, rather than dividing Yingfu and other clan members into princes.
Lü Buwei even deliberately further restricted the rights of the clan, and those who were not sages could not be crowned kings.
Since then, Yingfu can't wait to tear off Lu Buwei's leg bones and make wine to drink!
On weekdays, Yingjie had no suitable reason, and was even more afraid of Lu Buwei's revenge, so he didn't dare to make a move.
Now, in the name of upholding the current law, Yingfu mocked Lü Buwei wildly:
"If my Great Qin is really as lenient as Lu Xiang said, the foundation of the temple really lies in the people."
"The common people have more and more savings, and they can hoard food and armor, even if they occasionally break the law, they will not be held responsible."
"Because of this, the common people are less and less concerned about the law, and the prestige of the court will become weaker and weaker."
"One day, the common people will accumulate enough strength to overthrow Great Qin!"
Yingjie asked rhetorically: "In this way, the foundation of the temple really lies in the people, because the people are enshrined on the temple!" ”
"Is this what Lu Xiang wants?"
Lu Buwei couldn't help but be furious: "This is not the meaning of the original appearance!" ”
"If the imperial court really treats the head of Qian, and the hundred officials perform their duties, the head of the Qianshou will definitely be grateful for the grace of the king, why make trouble!"
Yingjie interrupted and said: "Because human nature is evil!" ”
"If Great Qin treats the head of Qian, the head of the Qianshou will not die for the sake of Great Qin, and even give birth to evil thoughts, and the desire is difficult to fill!"
Ying Fu bowed to Ying Zheng: "Therefore, the minister admonished and further increased the punishment!" ”
"Shang Junyan: The punishment is used to pass!"
"The common people should be punished before they make mistakes, so that the evil thoughts in the hearts of the common people can be removed, so that the head of the Qiantou will not do great evil things."
"However, my Great Qin did not punish the sins."
"In order to put an end to the rebellion of the common people as Lu Xiang said, the minister thinks that I, Daqin, should be heavily blamed!"
Lü Buwei shouted angrily: "Ridiculous! ”
"How can a crime not committed be convicted or even punished?"
"This will lead the officials to be unscrupulous and arbitrarily identify criminals!"
Lu Buwei also bowed to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, what Weiyang Jun said is ridiculous!" ”
"If the king is hesitant, he can go deep into the people with his own appearance, listen to the voices of the Qianshou, and see the lives of the Qianshou."
"As long as they can eat and drink, they will be satisfied."
"As long as they can have food and clothing, they will die for the king!"
"If the king is lenient and the sentence is suspended, he will be worthy of the grace of the people of Great Qin, and the whole of Great Qin will be used by Great Qin."
"Even if there is no reward, the leaders are willing to fight for the king!"
Lu Buwei looked at Yingzheng sincerely, and even pleadingly: "Listen to the voice in your ear, and look at the plight of the Qianshou!" ”
"Now that my Great Qin still has foreign wars, the leaders of the Qians still have a chance to change their fate."
"But if one day my Great Qin really dominates the world, and there is no major war in the world, the Qiantou will completely lose the opportunity to change their fate."
"At that time, how could the head of the world not rebel?"
"Your Majesty, Great Qin has reached the time of restructuring."
"If you want to dominate the world, you should reform it as soon as possible!"
Ying Zheng's gaze turned to the trembling and chilling torturers.
Looking at the pleading in their eyes, Ying Zheng couldn't bear it.
But Ying Zheng knows that what he wants to decide is not just a simple matter of not letting Qianshou live a good life.
In front of him are two different ideas of statecraft!
Shang Ying believed that the state should exploit the people, that is, the weak.
If the Qiantou has money in his hands, then increase taxes, or increase the price of land and houses, or even increase the coinage to make the money in the hands of the Qiantou become worthless, and use all means to make the vast majority of Qiantou in a situation where they cannot die but also cannot live.
At the same time, the military merit system was used to give hope to the Qiantou, so that the Qiantou felt that as long as they worked hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield, they could live a good life.
But can you really live a good life by trying to kill enemies on the battlefield?
There is always a complicated law that suits you, and the title will always be used to offset the guilt, and then you will be reduced to the head of the king, and continue to live a life that you can't die but can't live well.
Only in this way can the domestic leaders always maintain the spirit of hard work, struggle, and hard work, and will they be willing to accept all the unreasonable demands put forward by the imperial court and the military, and betray everything they have.
After all, if the Qianshou are well fed and drunk, have no worries about food and clothing, and are satisfied both mentally and physically, who is willing to work hard!
Under Shang Ying's concept of governance, many Qin people felt that they could not live a good life until they died because they did not work hard enough.
Is Shang Ying's thought suitable for Great Qin?
It's so suitable!
The reason why Great Qin became stronger and stronger and even expected to dominate the world was that Shang Ying's ideas and the accompanying "Qin Law" played a great contribution.
Shang Junfa has proved his excellence with facts.
Lü Buwei's thinking was different from that of Shang Ying.
Lü Buwei believed that the people were the foundation of the country, and if the country wanted to prosper, it should let the people live a good life.
Is Lü Buwei's thought suitable for Great Qin?
It seems to fit in too well.
Because Lü Buwei raised a very critical question.
The reason why the leaders of Great Qin and Qiantou are willing to work hard, struggle, and fight is because of the rapid development of Great Qin, the national strength of Great Qin is becoming more and more abundant, and the leaders of Great Qin can see or hear examples of changing their lives in World War I from time to time.
These hopes soothe the anger and resentment in their hearts, tempting them to struggle.
But if the development of Great Qin comes to a standstill, how can the anger and dissatisfaction in the hearts of the Qiantou leaders be appeased?
Ying Zheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Both ideas seem to be right, but which one is the most suitable for Great Qin?
If it is to dominate the world, should Daqin continue to maintain strict punishment or try to accept leniency and probation?
In the major affairs of the country, Yingzheng does not dare to be sloppy!
Lu Buwei, Xiong Qi, Feng Quji and others were also quietly and nervously waiting for Yingzheng's decision.
The torturers not far away deliberately suppressed their breathing, for fear of annoying the nobles because of the noise.
In this dreary and depressing environment, Ying Chengcheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lu Xiang said has some truth."
Xiong Qi and the others all looked at Ying Chengcheng in disbelief.
If we're not mistaken, you two should be enemies, right?
Ying Zheng's train of thought was broken, and he was stunned and asked, "Brother Wang, what do you say?" ”
"The widow was thinking, but he didn't hear clearly."
Why did Brother Wang start to help Lu Buwei speak?
Even when talking to a widow, the address has become so formal!
The mouse really went to be a bridesmaid for the cat!
Ying Chengcheng accentuated his voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lu Xiang said has some truth. ”
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Chengcheng with shock, relief and emotion.
Ying Chengcheng spoke up for him, which was completely beyond Lü Buwei's expectations.
Although Lü Buwei knew that Ying Chengchan's thoughts had a certain similarity with him, Lü Buwei really didn't expect that Ying Chengcheng would abandon his previous suspicions and work with him to make suggestions for the future of Great Qin!
Ying Zheng's voice turned solemn: "Talk about it carefully." ”
Ying Cheng said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the reward is better than the belief in it, so that the people will benefit it!"
"The punishment is as heavy as the punishment, so that the people are afraid!"
"The law is as solid as it is, so that the people know it!"
Lü Buwei: ???
What are you talking about?
You're off topic, hey!
