Chapter 262: Use punishment to stop punishment, kill punishment to stop punishment(1/2)
After meeting Cheng Yu and Han Fei, Ying Zheng had no intention of staying in Xinzheng. There were still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in Xianyang.
Therefore, Ying Zheng only stayed for one day, and secretly left Xinzheng on the morning of the third day, with Cheng Xi personally escorting him out of the city.
Near noon, Zi Nu came to the mansion as promised, brought some tools and seasonings herself, and used the kitchen in the mansion to cook a delicious meal.
In the dining room, Cheng Xi and Zi Nu ate separately and then went to the tea room to have tea together.
"Miss Zi Nv's cooking skills are really extraordinary. You will never get tired of eating them for the rest of your life."
Cheng Xi took a sip of tea and then put down the tea cup and said with admiration on his face.
Zi Nu's cooking skills are really good. Cheng Xiu is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and has a picky taste. The dishes Zi Nu makes are impeccable in terms of the dishes themselves.
Zi Nu was very happy to be praised for her cooking skills, but she pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in Cheng Xi's words.
With the current situation in South Korea, Zi Nu has no time to think about the issues of love between her children. Everything focuses on Zi Lan Xuan and Liu Sha.
Zi Nu directly changed the subject and said: "That one left?"
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, and then said: "Brother Han must have communicated with you, what do you think of the King of Qin?"
Thinking of Han Fei's comments last night, Zi Nu showed a wry smile and said, "Han Fei said that God favors Qin."
"Didn't you say you treated the Six Nations poorly?"
"No, he said that the six countries have all risen in the past. Although the duration was different, they all had the opportunity to delay their prosperity, but they all failed to grasp it."
Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Chu all once dominated the world. Even Yan and South Korea have risen, but they are not as glorious as the former.
If Yan and South Korea can continue to be strong and prosperous, reunification may be difficult in the Warring States period, which has lasted for hundreds of years with endless wars, crises and opportunities, but there is still a chance to change their own national destiny and thereby change the pattern of the world.
For example, if they seize the opportunity to block the rise of Qin and change the world where one country is strong and many are weak, their national destiny will undoubtedly be prolonged.
"Brother Han sees it quite clearly."
"Just looking at what Brother Han has done, he wants to seize this last opportunity to make South Korea strong."
"For the sake of your family and country, you know you can't do anything but do it, so courageous!"
Zi Nu raised her eyebrows and said in a faint tone: "Why, Mr. Cheng thinks there is no chance of success?"
"Yes, Mr. Cheng is from Qin after all, so naturally he doesn't want to see us succeed."
"Girl Zi Nv, there is something in these words."
"What, Miss Zi Nu, do you think that the king is using me to monitor the quicksand, so that I can be manipulated at critical moments?" Cheng Yu said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"Hahaha, although Miss Purple Girl is a strange woman in the world, due to the limitation of her horizons, her appearance is still a bit small after all."
Zi Nu was not angry when she heard the words, and said calmly: "I would like to hear the details."
"Don't underestimate the king's situation. If the king really wants to take action against quicksand, why would he use such petty tactics?"
"Based on what I know from Yonghou and what I observe on a daily basis, once the king moves, he is definitely rushing to make the quicksand crumble, and the last time he is rushing to make the quicksand collapse."
"Who does the purple girl think the core character of Quicksand is?"
Zi Nu is one of the core founders of Liusha, but the core figure of Liusha is undoubtedly Han Fei, because the philosophy currently implemented by Liusha is Han Fei's philosophy.
The core figure in Liusha during the Qin Dynasty was undoubtedly Wei Zhuang, because Liusha at that time implemented Wei Zhuang's philosophy.
During Han Fei's time, Liusha's original philosophy was to "implement the laws of heaven and earth without neglect".
The purpose is to "know the evil through skills and stop the punishment through punishment", eradicate the "Night Curtain" organization and other evil evils, save South Korea, and even make South Korea dominate the seven countries.
In the absence of Han Fei, Wei Zhuang makes the decision. What he pursues is dominance, absolute power, and killing to stop executions.
The so-called terminating punishment with punishment means to use punishment to stop punishment, which means to impose severe punishment to make people fear and not dare to break the law, so as to achieve the effect of not using punishment.
This idiom comes from "Shang Jun Shu·Jin Ling", also known as using punishment to eliminate punishment.
This claim has a certain rationality, but upon closer inspection it is actually not very reasonable.
Do ordinary people dare not offend because they are afraid of punishment?
If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette. If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace. Material life is the foundation of everything.
If you live like a dog and can't even survive, what will happen if the crime of theft is punished with death by a thousand cuts?
"Han Fei."
Naturally, Zi Nu will not tell lies with her eyes open in front of people who understand, and she will tell the truth honestly.
"The king appreciates Brother Han's talent. If he takes action, he won't kill Brother Han. He will probably summon Brother Han to Qin."
"Under the intimidation of Da Qin's cavalry, Miss Zinu must have an idea of what Han Wangan will do."
Zinu's expression changed. Based on her understanding of Han Wangan, it was absolutely impossible for Han Wangan to withstand the pressure.
Zi Nu knows a lot about Wang An of Han, otherwise Zi Nu in the anime would not have analyzed that Wang An of Han proposed establishing the crown prince as a test.
"Brother Han is not in Korea, what will happen to Liusha?"
"Quisha will naturally follow his ideas and continue walking." Zi Nu said with strength.
"But how can we communicate effectively when we are so far apart?"
"Is it possible that I need Brother Han to make a decision and then inform you?"
Zi Nu was speechless. This was naturally impossible. After a while, everything was too late. They could only discuss it among themselves.
"The reality dictates that Brother Han should leave the decision-making power to you, but the soul of Quicksand is Brother Han."
"Brother Wei Zhuang's ideas are similar to Brother Han's, but the means to implement them are..."
"Skills are used to detect adultery and punishments are used to stop punishments, but killing is not the only way to stop punishments. This is contrary to the concept of quicksand."
"Once execution is terminated by killing, will the quicksand remain the same quicksand?"
"Although the outer shell is the same, the inside has changed. It's not too much to say that it exists in name only, right?"
In Cheng Xi's view, killing as a punishment can be effective in a short period of time, but over time it will inevitably lead to chaos. This is the way to bring disaster.
But then again, judging from South Korea's internal and external troubles, Cheng Yu still favors killing to end punishment.
Others don't know how many years Korea has left for its national destiny, and even Han Fei and Wei Zhuang can't, but Cheng Xi knows that he can even use his own influence to change the duration of South Korea's national destiny.
In a life-and-death situation, it is unreasonable to worry about the long-term future. We must first overcome the immediate crisis.
If you can't survive, why are you still thinking about the long term?
Once it perishes, nothing will matter!
Zi Nu felt that she could not argue, so she just forced a smile and said, "Mr. Cheng really knows our quicksand."
"We are all friends. The most important thing is that Zi Nu is in Quicksand, so I naturally want to get to know her better."
"If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight without danger."
I don’t know why, but Cheng Xi always finds it very interesting to tease Zi Nu, and he wants to do it from time to time.
Know yourself and your enemy, and a hundred battles will not be in vain. The purpose here is to capture Zi Nu.
Zi Nu naturally heard it, and felt a little panicked. She rolled her eyes and said, "We are talking about business, can you be more serious?"
"Okay, okay, let's be more serious." Cheng Xi said calmly.
It was because enough was enough that Zi Nu would communicate with Cheng Xi alone again and again without being too wary.
Cheng Xi really likes chatting with Zi Nu, because Zi Nu is also a very measured person.
Proportion, whether it is in the relationship between men and women or in anything else, is a college question.
"Actually, I am more inclined to Brother Wei Zhuang's philosophy of doing things."
"Now that the king asks me to help Liusha more, I will do my best."
"I hope Miss Zinu can tell Brother Han to change the way he does things."
Zi Nu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Sometimes he is as stubborn as a donkey, and even eight horses can't pull him back!"
"Let's put it this way, with me and the masters of the Iron Blood Alliance under my command, it will not be difficult for Bai Yifei and the others as long as they find a good opportunity to kill Ji Wuye."
"Why bother taking detours?"
"You don't have enough time."
"Solving the problem earlier will give us more time to strengthen South Korea."
I've given you a chance. If you don't take it, don't blame him if you meet your true colors in the future.
Zi Nu was a little moved when she heard this. Although she agreed with Han Fei's ideas, if there was a simpler way...
Zi Nu has undoubtedly been influenced by Wei Zhuang for a longer period of time than Han Fei, so Zi Nu doesn't mind using special means.
"I will convey your intention to him, but I can't guarantee the result."
Although Zi Nu thought it was unlikely that Han Fei would agree, she was still willing to give it a try. What if it succeeded?
"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, don't worry about it. Miss Zi Nv."
"If you need any help from me, just ask."
"Now that we've finished talking about the business, how about Miss Zinu playing a game of chess with me before we go back?"
"good."
Just because it was easy to get along with Cheng Xi, Zi Nu didn't mind spending more time with Cheng Xi, nor did she mind being invited by Cheng Xi.
However, Zi Nu did not give a clear response to Cheng Xi's overtures, nor did she give any subtle hints, which did not mean she was hanging on Cheng Xi.
The relationship between the two is quite complicated. You could say they are friends, because Cheng Yun flirts with her from time to time and is a little ambiguous. You could say they are lovers, but that is far from enough.
