Zhu Xiang thought for a while and said: "You should have heard that there was a country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his monarch was very benevolent and righteous, so it attracted many virtuous people to vote, so the king of Chu sent troops to destroy this country, do you think it is wrong for the monarch to be benevolent and righteous?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng tilted his head, he seems to have heard this story, but he can't remember where he heard it.

Han Fei said: "I know. Therefore, it is no longer appropriate to do righteousness. ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Then if that monarch is not exercising benevolent government, but preparing the army, won't the king of Chu destroy him?" ”

Han Fei said: "This ......"

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "You wrote this story in the book to prove that what you said does not need to be imitated by the past, it is sophistry." It's true that you don't have to follow the past, but this story doesn't illustrate what you're trying to illustrate. ”

"A small and weak country close to a strong country, if it is mediocre, may live a little longer. Once it wants to become strong, it will definitely be destroyed by the powerful country immediately. ”

"Shang Zhou's original territory was very small, but Shang Zhou was originally on the border, so they secretly expanded without arousing the vigilance of others. The same is true of the state of Qin. The reason why the Qin State slowly became stronger was because the Central Plains countries looked down on the western part of the Qin State and gave the Qin State a chance to develop. ”

Zhu Xiang sighed, although he sympathized with Han Fei, he also directly shattered Han Fei's illusions: "South Korea has lost opportunities since the beginning of its founding. ”

Zhu Xiang beckoned, and a servant handed him a pen and paper, on which he drew a map of the geographical location of the Seven Kingdoms.

South Korea's territory is located right in the middle of the Seven Kingdoms, and its territory is small, so even if others don't fight him, other countries will fight each other.

Therefore, although South Korea will not be wiped out in one go, it has entered a slow decline since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Zhu Xiang explained the geographical location of Korea to Han Fei, compared it with Qin, and told Han Fei why Korea had no hope of becoming the hero of the Seven Kingdoms.

All the wars of the Qin State were fought outside the Hangu Pass, so it was beneficial to win, and after losing the preparation for a year, it was possible to make a comeback, and the production order in the Qin State was not destroyed because of the war.

In other countries, the war takes place on their own land, and even if they win the war, they will gradually consume their national strength by the Qin State.

Zhao Guo is like that.

In the war between Qin and Zhao, Qin actually won less and lost more, but it was Zhao that gradually weakened. Because it is impossible for farmers near the battlefield to farm with peace of mind, missing a season is missing a year.

How many people will starve to death in a year of famine? How much less tax will it be?

Later generations knew that they had to keep the enemy out of the country, and if the war started on its own soil, half of it would have been lost. At this time, only the Qin State had this consciousness.

"The Qin State is much better than other countries in terms of strategic level." Zhu Xiang sighed.

Bai Qi heard that Zhu Xiang was instructing the students, and immediately came to see the excitement.

He happened to hear Zhu Xiang say this, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "Many people have not seen through this, Zhu Xiang can see through this and can be among the famous generals." ”

Zhu Xiang waved his hand again and again: "I said that Ci is not in charge of the army, I can't." ”

Bai Qi said: "What if you are asked to defend the city?" What about defending against the Huns? ”

Zhu Xiang: "...... Well, I can really lead the troops. But it's better not to go, I'm too timid to see the bloody scenes. ”

Bai Qi dragged a chair and sat down: "I didn't want to push you to go, I won't let you go." You go on. ”

Han Fei looked at the old man with a calm face who suddenly appeared suspiciously.

Zhu Xiang introduced: "This is Wu Anjun Bai Gong Bai Qi. ”

Han Fei's expression froze, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his head.

Ying Xiaozheng sneered: "Bai Weng, he's afraid of you!" ”

Bai Qi held the ceramic cup and said calmly: "Well, the people of the Six Kingdoms are afraid of me." ”

Ying Xiaozheng complimented: "Bai Weng is amazing!" ”

Bai Qi chuckled.

Han Fei's eyes didn't dare to roll.

After Bai Qi finished fighting the Chu State, the active location was mainly placed in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty. The decline of Korea has made a lot of efforts in Baek.

But seeing Bai Qi, Han Fei couldn't even rise to hatred. This Wu Anjun is so powerful, so powerful that people dare to say hatred behind his back, and he is so afraid that he doesn't even dare to hate in front of him.

Ying Xiaozheng angrily patted his uncle's arm as an armrest.

He felt like he had found his dream self again.

Dream of yourself, thank you!

"If, if there is also Wu Anjun in South Korea......" Han Fei was still very bold, and quickly recovered from his fear of Wu Anjun.

"Is that any different from welcoming me into Korea?" Zhu Xiang said, and then scratched his cheek embarrassedly, "Compare me with Bai Gong, I put gold on my face." ”

"You don't." Bai Qi said, "If I were in South Korea, the Six Nations would definitely attack South Korea frequently in order to remove this threat from me. Even if I can win once, twice, three times, several times, but as Zhu Xiang said, every victory in Korea will cost his national strength, or the king of Han can't bear this matter and will give me to another country; Either I can protect Korea in my lifetime, and as soon as I die, Korea will be destroyed immediately. ”

Han Fei clenched the hem of his clothes with both hands: "South Korea, South Korea is completely helpless?" Hundreds of Years of Korean Founding......"

Zhu Xiang sighed: "Han Fei, the Jin Kingdom can all perish, why can't South Korea?" ”

Han Fei raised his head suddenly.

Zhu Xiang's expression became very cold without him noticing: "Do you want to make Korea strong, what you want is Korea, or the identity of your Korean clan?" If you only want the identity of the Korean clan, you can persuade the king of Han to dedicate the country. There are always places on the border of Qin that cannot be developed, and the king of Han can be appointed as king. ”

"If what you are looking for is a strong South Korea...... Zhu Xiang paused for a moment and sneered, "Why can South Korea be strong?" The throne of Korea was originally a betrayal of the old master, and the three families were divided into Jin and won it; It does not cultivate virtue or royal government, does not care about the common people and does not appoint talents, and does not do a single good thing; It's also so poorly located. Why do you want to make such a country strong? Why does King Han have to be your family? ”

"Uncle......" Ying Xiaozheng looked up at Zhu Xiang worriedly.

Zhu Xiang took a few deep breaths and wiped the appearance of King Zhao from his mind.

He said: "Han Fei, now South Korea will not perish, because the other six countries still need to keep this small part of South Korea as a buffer ground." But South Korea will definitely perish, because the end of the war must be unified. No matter how selfish the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were, they could not stop the general trend of the world. If you want to learn from me how to keep the world divided and the people miserable, please go back. ”

Zhu Xiang waved his sleeves, then hugged Ying Xiaozheng and said sorry to Bai Qi, and turned to leave.

"Uncle...... Ying Xiaozheng hugged Zhu Xiang's neck and continued to worry, "Uncle, are you okay?" Don't be angry. Let's get rid of him! ”

Zhu Xiang rubbed Ying Xiaozheng's face and said, "I'm just a little sad." People are selfish, and the wise and wise know that the unification of the world is the best way to save the world, but they will stand on the opposite side of us for the sake of their own family. I'm sad because of this. ”

Not for the sake of the country, not so noble.

The legal principles of the Seven Kingdoms all came from Zhou, and the people at the bottom went wherever they were better, and the nobles knew that the Seven Kingdoms were originally a family, and even had in-laws with each other.

The concept of the family, the country, and the nation was put forward only after the unification of the world, and it was consolidated in modern times.

And at the moment, everyone is just doing it for their own benefit.

The young Han Fei prevented the demise of South Korea, not because he loved South Korea, but because he couldn't accept that the Korean royal family was no longer the Korean royal family; Later, Zhang Liang's assassination of King Qin was not for Korea itself, but for the destruction of his own family and the King of Han.

In other words, the "kingdom" they speak of is equal to the "king", not the land and the people in their hearts.

Because the current common people are like grass mustard, and their status has not even reached the "common people".

In fact, the same is true of the Qin State. The expansion of the Qin State is also that the King of Qin wants to become a bigger "king", and it has nothing to do with ending the war and saving the people.

Although the founders of the later feudal dynasties thought the same in their hearts, they would at least play the banner of ending the troubled times, reorganizing China, and saving the people.

Now, none of that kind of banner exists.

Han Feizi was a famous thinker in later generations, and his theories played a great role in the stereotype of the feudal dynastic system in later generations.

When Zhu Xiang saw Han Feizi, he had the same idea of "pilgrimage" in his heart as when he met Xunzi.

And at this moment, Han Fei is just a scholar who can only see the Han royal family with his eyes. And the Han Wang family, who he wants to continue to rule, does not need to let more than the current King Zhao. Even King Han is even more stupid, just because the country is small and he is often beaten, so he can't do anything earth-shattering and ridiculous.

Zhu Xiang couldn't help but think of King Zhao's appearance in his mind.

No matter what the state of Zhao was ruined by King Zhao, no one said to overthrow King Zhao.

The Korean court is full of pompous wind, the monarchs and ministers are extremely mediocre, Han Fei still wants to continue the rule of the king of Han, and does not look down at the Han people who are crying under the rule of the king of Han.

This is the thinking of this era, the norm of this era.

That's the reality.

After all, I still don't fit in with this era.

Zhu Xiang held Ying Xiaozheng's hand and put it on his forehead.

Through discussions with Han Fei, Zhu Xiang found that no matter how much he tried his best to integrate into this era and did his best to avoid seeing things he didn't want to see, there would always be people who kept telling him that he was incompatible with this era, and those sages and talents in the history books who were respected by future generations would stand on his opposite side one by one.

"I'm fine, I just remembered King Zhao." Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "Han Fei is a very capable person. King Han's mediocrity is no worse than that of King Zhao. I saw that he was trying his best to maintain the rule of King Han, and I thought of King Zhao. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "That...... Then if you change the king of Han, will Korea be better? ”

Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "Maybe." If Han Fei became the king of Han himself, maybe South Korea would be much better. ”

Ying Xiaozheng pouted: "Then King Han should continue to be mediocre, don't stand in the way for Qin to unify the world." ”

Zhu Xiang pinched Ying Xiaozheng's pouting mouth: "South Korea will not stand in the way for Qin to unify the world." No matter which country it is, it will not stand in the way for Qin to unify the world. ”

He asked: "Zheng'er, if my uncle wants to let the common people of the world also read and write and pass the exam to become an official, do you agree?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng was silent.

If the commoners of the world learn a few skills from their uncle, this king will not be able to be a good one.

Zhu Xiang said: "I'm just talking. Zheng'er, aren't you tired? Worked in the fields for so long. Go, go back to sleep. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Do you want to hang Han Fei there?" ”

Zhu Xiang said willfully: "I asked Xue to receive him." ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "Huh? ”

Uncle, can you not blame your aunt for what you don't want to do? Uncle, you're going a little too far!

Zhu Xiang is occasionally very willful. He said to Xue, Xue sighed, and went to entertain Han Fei and do his best as a landlord.

Xue complained, "If you admire his talent, why do you anger him? ”

Zhu Xiang said confidently: "It was he who provoked me." ”

Xue sighed: "Yes, yes, yes." Since he has angered you, I will cast him out. ”

"No need, let him continue to learn from Xunzi." Zhu Xiang sneered, "It seems that I won't be able to accept disciples in the future." ”

Xue Dao: "With your temper, you really can't accept disciples." ”

After complaining, Xue went to help Zhu Xiang clean up the aftermath.

She thought that Han Fei would leave angrily after listening to her lover's words. She was going to let Han Fei live at home for a day, and then contact the Xianyang School Palace for him and let him live in the Xianyang School Palace.

But Han Fei held the book on the second day and stood in front of Zhu Xiang's door, but he didn't flinch, and wanted to continue to ask Zhu Xiang.

Just looking at his red and swollen eyes, Zhu Xiang knew that what he said yesterday made him feel not at ease.

Zhu Xiang's tone towards Han Fei was much softer. Originally, Han Fei was not wrong, it was himself who was wrong.

"Don't learn from me." Zhu Xiang said sincerely, "You should learn from Xunzi." ”
