After he unified the Six Kingdoms, the status of the old nobles of the Six Nations must have declined compared with before. So no matter how much he shows goodwill, as long as he can't give the old nobles of the Six Nations better treatment, they will hate themselves.

Therefore, if he wants to stabilize his rule, he needs to win over his own "class" that can give them more benefits.

That is the poor man and the man who can plough and fight.

The Qin State promised many things when the Qin kings were divisive, but they never fulfilled their promises.

This is not only the case with the current Qin Wangzheng, but also with the Qin State in the history of Zhu Xiang's previous life.

For example, Guo Kai of Zhao took the money of Qin to persecute Li Mu, and the last family was killed; The Hou Sheng of Qi took the money of Qin and asked the King of Qi not to repair his armaments, and in the end he ended miserably.

The heart of playing politics is dirty, whoever believes it is stupid, and the King of Qin and Qin Chen are even more notoriously shameless.

It is the norm to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so I ask you if you want six miles of land?

Throughout the history of China, the ending of the leading party was not good.

For example, Mi Fang, who pit Guan Yu, after arriving in Wu Kingdom, even ordinary Wu Guoshi people can come up and scold a few words, and finally die of depression; The Ming ministers who voted for the Qing Dynasty were written into the "Biography of the Second Minister" by Qianlong, and they were stinking for 10,000 years. This is a good ending.

Looking at the world again, the leading party is either cannon fodder, or consumables, or a clown who makes people happy, which is more comical than the end in Huaxia.

Throughout the ages, there has been a difference between surrendering and leading the way.

Compared with modern society, if a foreigner has his heart set to another country and shines down-to-earth after going abroad, it is his own person;

If a foreigner accepts the benefits of another country and does not violate morality in his own country to open up for another country, he is an international friend;

If a foreigner accepts a bribe from another country and commits evil in his own country, causing the people to live in misery, although the other country will applaud him, when he wants to run into his own country, he will definitely say in unison, "Get out, it's good to die."

Who leaves garbage in their own home? Even if his own family is in politics, he will have three generations of political trials.

Therefore, Zhu Xiang was silent after struggling with his conscience, thinking that the Qin State would fulfill its promise to Guo Kai for glory and wealth, and not because of his own morality, but he was naïve.

He didn't need any struggle at all. Qin Wangzheng doesn't look at his mood, and Guo Kai will also be used up and thrown away - if Guo Kai hadn't committed suicide and become a minister of King Zhao, Qin would have killed him to appease the Zhao people.

This is the limitation of Zhu Xiang, an ivory tower professor.

He didn't know that Qin Wangzheng was actually very regretful, he was actually "pitted" by Guo Kai a little, he didn't squeeze Guo Kai's value cleanly, and wasted so much money sent, tsk.

Now Dr. Zhao Guoqing deeply felt the capriciousness of King Qin, although he was angry, but he was helpless.

They can't shout loudly, I have received money from the people of Qin, I am a great hero of Qin, you Qin can't do this to me?

They dare to say it, tomorrow Zhao Guo Ranger will come to the door.

Zhu Xiang only noticed this incident slowly later, and couldn't help but be speechless.

He couldn't help but chatter to Li Mu: "Since it can be seen from the history books or from the current examples, it can be seen that the traitors who accept bribes from other countries and harm their own country will not end well, why do they still believe the words of other countries and do such things that are destined to come to an end?" ”

Li Mu said he didn't understand. How could he possibly understand such a thing? Only Lin Zhen and Cai Ze can answer Zhu Xiang's doubts.

Zhu Xiang first disliked Li Mu as useless, and after being sent off by Li Mu with a roll of his eyes, he went to find Lian Po.

Lian Po kicked Zhu Xiang out.

Although Zhao Guo is sorry for Lian Po, Lian Po is still in a bad mood for Zhao Guo to perish in absurdity. Zhu Xiang asked about his sadness, isn't this looking for a fight?

When Qin Wangzheng learned of this, he came to Zhu Xiang with his hands behind his back: "Why didn't my uncle ask the widow?" ”

Zhu Xiang looked at the big nephew who had a show off in his eyes, and stopped talking.

He didn't bother Zheng'er, of course, because Zheng'er was too busy. Zheng'er is still in the mood to think about his affairs after dealing with government affairs, doesn't he really feel tired at all?

Zhu Xiang humbly asked: "Zheng'er, do you know why? ”

"Of course." King Qin's uncle who knew everything was also stupid, and he was in a very good mood, "because they didn't expect that their country would really perish." ”

Zhu Xiang was dumbfounded: "Huh? ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "They are just blinded by money. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to take Qin's money and suppress dissidents through external forces? As for whether your country will perish......"

Qin Wangzheng sneered: "The city wall is so strong, I can get a piece of gold by digging a hoe, how can it be dug down by me?" ”

Zhu Xiang always felt that this was a little familiar, as if he had seen it on the Internet.

Qin Wangzheng said: "Although they say that Qin State is their retreat, they all know that if their country perishes, they will have no meaning to Qin State, but they just want to gamble that they will not see their end before they die." ”

Zhu Xiang sighed: "I still don't understand, the risk is so big, how dare they?" ”

Qin Wangzheng said: "Uncle doesn't understand if he doesn't understand, why do you need to understand what the fool is thinking?" We just need to know what they're going to think, and reuse it. But I'm talking about the kind of person who is a little clever and knows what he wants. There are also some people who are really stupid. ”

Zhu Xiang sighed: "Stupid enough to see so many examples, still think that he will definitely be able to soar in the Qin Kingdom?" Then why didn't they come directly to the Qin State and be promoted from the Academy Palace or the army? ”

Qin Wangzheng looked at his uncle with the eyes of a fool: "Uncle, if they have the ability to make King Qin look up to him, how can they be spurned for doing disloyal and unrighteous things?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Yes." ”

Although the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period collapsed, they may not even attach much importance to "loyalty", but they attach great importance to "righteousness". If there is no "righteous", even if they are in a high position, they will still be spurned.

To put it in layman's terms, if you have the ability to join the other party as a person, who wants to be a dog? It's not that you can't be a human, you can only be a dog.

After Zhu Xiang figured it out, he couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that he really doesn't know anything about politics, he can't be ruthless, he is indecisive and soft-hearted, and he reluctantly does what he is not good at, which will only hold back Zheng'er.

"It's time for me to resign from the position of prime minister and continue to farm for Zheng'er." Zhu Xiang said, "Although Cai Ze doesn't want to be the prime minister, but now he is still doing the prime minister's business, and Zheng'er will let him be the prime minister again, he should not shirk." Xunzi ......"

Zhu Xiang paused and sighed: "Xunzi will definitely protect you, you have to be filial to Xunzi." ”

Zhu Xiang no longer persuades the people around him to rest as before.

After going through many things, Zhu Xiang understands that everyone has their own pursuit in their hearts, and they know what kind of price they have to pay and what kind of life they want to live.

Such as the three generations of Qin kings who have done their best, such as the veteran of Qin who is shrouded in horse leather, and such as friends who generously went to death.

Zhu Xiang insisted that they steal their lives, which was an insult to them.

The same goes for Xunzi.

At present, only Legalism and Confucianism are the most powerful, and the contradiction between the two is actually very profound. But Xunzi is the head of both families, and he is the only "sage master" who can press the contradiction between the two families and force the two families to merge.

The unification of the Qin State could not be done without Xunzi, the academic leader.

Xunzi is very good at self-cultivation, although his spirit has been poor, but he has survived year after year.

Sometimes Zhu Xiang doubted that Xunzi also had something strange about it, and he could continue his life with his willpower, waiting for the day when the Qin State was truly unified.

Zhu Xiang will no longer persuade Xunzi to retire. He only hopes that Xunzi can hold on to the moment when Zheng'er unifies the world.

Seeing the children who once rolled on their knees fulfill their dreams, Xunzi will have no regrets.

"Uncle is no longer with Zheng'er?" Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but bring his previous mouth fetish, and then uncomfortably covered his mouth with his sleeve.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Why didn't I accompany Zheng'er?" Wherever Zheng'er's army went, his uncle planted grain. We are all under the sky of Qin. ”

A trace of chagrin appeared in Qin Wangzheng's eyes. His uncle coaxed him like a child again.

"After the autumn harvest, my uncle and aunt don't have much to do, so I came to Hanzhong Palace for the New Year." Qin Wangzheng ordered.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Okay." ”

Zhu Xiang's next trip will be to guide cultivation in Qi, Zhao, Wei and Korea; Xue Ji will still help her housekeeper guard Nanqin and supervise cultivation and weaving in Nanqin.

After the autumn harvest, Xue Ji will escort the cloth and grain of Southern Qin up the Han River; Zhu Xiang drove back to the west from the east. The family, who had been separated for a whole year, was reunited in the Hanzhong Palace for a few months. When the spring breeze thaws, the warbler flies and the grass grows, they will be busy again.

"Fusu is still led by my uncle." Qin Wangzheng said again, "He is young this year, and it is not suitable for him to travel far, so he can run around with his uncle next year." ”

Zhu Xiang hesitated: "The journey is rushing, I'm afraid it's not good for children." Zheng'er, not all children are as solid as you. ”

Qin Wangzheng: "...... what do you mean by my skin?!

Qin Wangzheng said angrily: "Isn't this just right? With Fusu, my uncle knew how to rest. If my uncle can't bring Fusu, I'll let my aunt take it. ”

Zhu Xiang immediately said: "Your aunt's health is not good, and she has to be busy with so many things, how can she have the energy to take care of the child?" Okay okay, I'll bring. When you were chubby when you were a child, your aunt couldn't hold you. ”

Qin Wangzheng: "......" What do you mean that I was chubby when I was a child? My aunt didn't hold me! I'm not fat!

Qin Wangzheng suddenly felt that it was a good thing for his uncle to leave, so as not to say something that did not exist in front of him every day.

"I asked Cheng Chan to assist my aunt." Qin Wangzheng's brows furrowed, "If my uncle and aunt are not in Xianyang, the two queen dowagers are too spoiled, I'm afraid they will spoil him." ”

He glared at Zhu Xiang: "Uncle, you are too spoiled!" It's better to be an aunt and be able to control the adult cockroach. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "This is also true. You were too naughty when you were a child, and you were only afraid of your aunt. ”

Qin Wangzheng: "......"

He brushed his sleeves and left.

, uncle! Don't come back! The widow doesn't want to listen to you!

Zhu Xiang smiled so that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched, blooming like chrysanthemums.

Whenever he saw Zheng'er playing a little temper, Zhu Xiang was very happy.

……

When Qin Wangzheng was about to return to Qin, Xue Ji hurriedly drove to Zhao.

She was also a Zhao person, and after hearing about the fall of the Zhao State, she hurriedly came to help Qin Wangzheng pacify the Zhao people and teach them to plant and weave cotton cloth.

The Shu people originally wore linen clothes, and the coarse linen was not only difficult to weave, the yield was extremely low, but it was also very rough, which could wear out the skin.

The skin of the people of Shu is red and rough in this way.

Even if cotton is spun into cheesecloth, it is much softer and warmer than burlap. If you stuff it with cotton, it will be warmer than stuffing withered grass and reed flowers.

Shu people even only need a quilt, which is broken and dried again in the summer, and then mixed with some new cotton to make a new quilt, which is still very warm in winter.

Xue Ji met Qin Wangzheng and made an appointment with Qin Wangzheng to celebrate the New Year together every year.

Qin Wangzheng was originally very happy when he saw his uncle, but as soon as his aunt saw him, her eyes were slightly red with nostalgia, pinching from her hair to the tips of her fingers, and her mouth couldn't stop saying that she had lost weight and blackened, and she really couldn't stand it.

Zhu Xiang crossed his arms and watched Xue Ji pinching and hugging Qin Wangzheng and kept nagging, ignoring his own Zheng'er's expression of asking for help.

After a long time of not seeing a loving mother, how can it be possible not to be nagged by a loving mother? Anyway, it's nagging once a year, Zheng'er, you can bear it.

Qin Wangzheng was in front of Zhu Xiang, if he was unhappy, he would immediately brush his sleeves and leave, and he would throw Zhu Xiang a pair of white eyes.

In the face of his uncle, Qin Wangzheng was submissive and did not dare to make a mistake.

What does it mean to drop one thing to one thing? Zhu Xiang was very happy in his heart.

Fortunately, Qin Wangzheng still had to return to Xianyang, and finally got rid of Xue Ji's nagging.

Xue Ji and Zhu Xiang briefly reunited and stayed in Zhao to raise the people.

Lian Po also stayed. Li Mu and Wang Jian returned to Southern Qin to continue to supervise the state of Chu.
