Chapter 240: Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will become princes!
Han Di, Yingchuan.
Next to a gurgling stream, a middle-aged man stood tall, holding a letter sent by a servant in his hand. He glanced at it briefly, and a flash of concentration flashed in his eyes.
a long time.
Then he said:
"Qin Ting's desire to unify the world seems to have not diminished at all."
"The scholars from all over the world gathered in Xianyang to discuss the relationship between heaven and man, the changes in ancient and modern times, etiquette, kings and kings, justice and interests, etc., recreating the grand scene of a hundred schools of thought contending."
"But the doctoral academy opened by Qin is no different from the Jixia Academy opened by Tian Qi."
"In the 19th year of Duke Kanggong of Qi, Tian He was appointed Marquis of Qi, and Tian Qi's regime was established. However, it was due to usurpation and murder. Tian Qi was afraid of losing this bad reputation, so he never forgot to create the rationality of 'Tian's generation of Qi'
public opinion."
"Therefore King Wei of Qi founded Jixia Academy."
"In the reign of King Xuan of Qi Dynasty, he gathered all the wise men from all over the world under Ji and respected them. They were like Zou Yan, Tian Pian, and Chunyu Kun. They were all called Lie Dafu.
World."
"However, due to the establishment of Jixia Academy and the fact that Tian Qi respected and doted on the world's scholars, the world's scholars rarely criticized Tian Qi at that time, but the fact that Tian Wu killed his emperor Tian Shan (shan) and the child was happy to stand on his own was true.
.”
"Hence Zhuangzi's spicy comments."
"Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes. How can benevolence and righteousness exist in the gates of princes!"
"When Ying Zheng opened the Doctoral School, he also wanted to use Tian Qi's actions to wash away his reputation as a violent Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, the world's scholars were not moved, so the road to the Doctoral School was actually a failure.
"
"When entering the Qin Dynasty, there were only a few people who served in the Qin Dynasty."
"Now Ying Zheng is back to his old tricks, but how is it different from what King Qi Wei did?"
"However, when Tian He became the monarch of Qi, the Zhou Dynasty and its feudal states recognized this, and Qi was still prosperous at that time."
"That's why it has not been talked about by scholars all over the world."
"Qin is different."
"All the scholars in the world despise Qin."
"Qin is already unpopular, and trying to use this move to win back the hearts of the people is of no use. This matter will only become a laughing stock in the world."
Zhang Liang stood with his hands behind his back.
He did not take seriously what he wrote in the letter.
immediately.
He seemed to have thought of something.
There was a trace of ripples in his calm eyes.
He read the letter carefully again, with a solemn look in his eyes.
He shook his head and said:
"No, there are no national affairs!"
"Ying Zheng has not changed his mind, nor does he want to change the hearts of the world's scholars. He still firmly believes that his choice is right, and he still wants to continue to revolutionize the world."
“This time the scholars gathered together to discuss ‘civilized governance’!”
"He divided the rule of the world into two."
"In those days at Jixia Academy, scholars from all over the world gathered at Jixia, and each wrote a book about how to rectify the chaos and do what he wanted."
"Qin gathered scholars from all over the world in Xianyang. Although they discussed the same matter of fighting chaos, they changed the subject. From the original way of governing the country, it became the way of governing the people!"
Zhang Liang frowned.
For the first time, I felt at a loss.
He did not want to participate in anything organized by Qin Ting.
But this time.
He was a little shaken.
It’s not that he is weak-willed, but that this gathering is extraordinary. This gathering is about great governance after great chaos. Governing the world has always been a difficult problem in ancient and modern times. Since ancient times, it has been easy to govern one city, difficult to govern ten cities, and difficult to govern a hundred cities.
It is difficult to climb a thousand cities.
What Qin proposed was not the governance of one place, but the governance of the whole world!
This is the first time this has happened in the world.
He hated Qin Youguo for his family feud, but he was still full of curiosity about discussing the governance of the world.
Zhang Liang stood with his hands behind his back.
There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
Finally, I decided to go to Xianyang.
The academic palace in Jixia discussed politics, but the Qin court discussed governance.
The two are completely different.
In the Jixia Academy, the teachings of one person were transformed into the teachings of many masters gathered together, and the learning of one family was transformed into the inheritance and contention of hundreds of schools of thought. That is why the theory of "to reach the great scholars from thousands of miles away, to sum up the greatness of hundreds of schools of thought" was born
of praise.
After great chaos there should be great order.
This is already the consensus of scholars all over the world.
It's just that the Qin court's domineering methods made the world's scholars dissatisfied, so the world's scholars turned against Qin. The current governance of the world is actually very crude, and has never gone through a major discussion like a political discussion.
So this opportunity is even more rare.
After these years of fighting against Qin, Zhang Liang also understood a truth: the unification of the world may be the positive trend of the world. Even if the Qin court is destroyed, the world will still be reunited, but it will be changed from Qin to another country.
Just like the changes of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
He was against Qin.
But it was just anti-Qin.
And even if the Qin court was destroyed and a new dynasty was established, the world would still need new ways of governing.
How could he just miss such an important event for the world?
Zhang Liang threw the letter in his hand into the stream and said calmly: "My Zhang family has been with each other for generations, and we have been enemies of our country and our family. How can Zhang Liang forget us? But I, Zhang Liang, am not an unscrupulous person. I have learned everything in my life. If I only
It seems shallow to use it for personal vendetta."
"That's fine."
"I will go to this great political discussion!"
...
Juhuan (chao).
On the bank of Taihu Lake, an old man was fishing.
The fishing rod made of bamboo was dripping with water, but the old man didn't notice it. His eyes were still staring at the bamboo slices in his hand. When he finished looking at the bamboo slices, the old man's hand holding the rod was trembling.
The whole person's mood fluctuated greatly.
a long time.
Then he said angrily:
"Who proposed this great proposal?"
"His words kill people!"
"Now the Qin Dynasty has embarked on a path to death. The people at the bottom have long been suffering from unspeakable misery as they continue to waste money and waste money. They impose excessive taxes and extort extravagance."
"If this continues, public dissatisfaction will boil over."
"However, this person's vision is so sharp that he focused on the key point in one fell swoop."
"Government of the world!"
"If Qin Ting really found a way to govern the world during this great meeting, wouldn't the current difficulties that Qin is facing be solved soon?"
"How can this be done?"
"If the world is not in chaos, then what I, Fan Zeng, have learned will be useless."
"I'm so angry!"
Looking at the piece of bamboo in his hand, Fan Zeng was furious.
Never before had he been so restless at that moment, and he even wanted to kill someone directly with his sword.
He is a disciple of Zongheng.
Everything I have learned in my life is about troubled times.
What he most wants to see is chaos in the world.
Only when the world is in chaos can what he has learned in his life be put to use. Especially when facing the powerful Qin that dominates the world, this makes him even more excited and happy.
He has been waiting.
Waiting for the world to be in chaos, waiting for heroes to compete.
When.
The world is so big, let it be arbitrarily controlled!
In recent years, Da Qin has gone against the grain and the people's resentment has been deepening. He was also happy in his heart, because Da Qin was not a country that was good at governing. The so-called governance of Da Qin was just using severe punishments and laws to restrain the people of the world.
This is obviously not the right way.
But Fan Zeng was happy to see this scene.
Over the years, he has seen the darkness at the bottom and the dissatisfaction of the people. It is precisely based on this that he has become more determined to rebel against the Qin Dynasty.
Because if Da Qin doesn’t seek change.
It won’t last long!
However, following these bamboo pieces, Fan Zeng became a little unable to sit still.
He is over sixty years old.
No matter how chaotic the world is, what he has learned in his life will really be buried in the loess.
He is unwilling!
Fan Zeng angrily threw the bamboo pieces in his hand on the ground and stepped on them vigorously, venting the unspeakable anger and impatience in his heart.
a long time.
Then he sat down on the ground slumped.
It took a long time before I finally regained my voice.
He threw the fishing rod propped on the ground directly into the water.
Cold voice said:
"Back then Jiang Taigong came out of the mountain at seventy."
"I, Fan Zeng, have just passed my sixties now. Everything is still too late. Even if Qin Ting wants to change the governance of the past, it will not be possible in a short time. But I should not be so impatient. Moreover, even if Qin Ting wants to change, Liu
The nobles of the country may not allow it."
"and......"
"Most of the various schools of thought are political scholars. If you ask them to completely abandon the 'political way' and instead devote themselves to the 'governing way', they may not agree."
"The Qin Dynasty desires stability."
"Then I, Fan Zeng, will do the opposite."
"Right now, Great Qin's great governance debate has not yet begun, and the final result of the change is not yet clear. However, I should go to Xianyang to see with my own eyes this great governance debate and the direction of the Qin court's pursuit of change."
"otherwise."
"I feel uneasy."
"The Qin court is overbearing and tyrannical, and the scholars in the world are also kind-hearted. If the two views conflict with each other, the Qin court will inevitably be resisted by the scholars in the world, and the great rule of the Qin court cannot be implemented. When the people's hearts are shaken, the people's hatred of Qin
Ting’s hatred will only grow stronger.”
"This might not mean that Qin Ting is seeking his own destruction."
Fan Zeng stood up.
His eyes were already burning with fighting spirit.
He is going to Xianyang.
He wanted to personally experience this great political discussion, to see with his own eyes what was discussed, what kind of governance the people of the world decided on, and what Qin Ting finally implemented. Only by seeing this with his own eyes would he
Only then can he dare to make a final judgment on Qin Ting's future.
Twilight time.
The Taihu River is lonely.
Fan Zeng looked at the blood-red setting sun, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, stepped on the falling leaves, and resolutely disappeared by the Taihu River.
...
Fanyang County.
Quinton also received the message.
He looked at it for a few times and then threw the bamboo pieces into the stove. His eyes were calm, but his mind was a little uneasy.
He is a famous scholar and considers himself to be an unparalleled eloquent speaker.
But he didn't like Qin.
It's not that he hates Qin Zheng, but he hates Yao Jia, who is also a famous family.
He and Yao Jia came from the same school. Yao Jia was his senior brother and his talents were far inferior to him. However, Yao Jia was a philistine and good at calculations. After serving in the Qin Dynasty, he quickly gained the favor of the First Emperor with his power of words. However,
Yao Jia had no tolerance for others. After he reached a high position, he repeatedly framed him. If he had not been resourceful, he would have died a long time ago.
He was also somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Ting who reused Yao Jia.
He has been hiding in Tibet all these years, just not wanting to be exposed to others.
Hearing that Xianyang was about to hold a great government meeting, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. However, he hesitated a little. If he went to Xianyang, if Yao Jia discovered him, he might have a hard time getting away.
Kuai Tong could not make up his mind for a long time.
After sitting for a long time, when all the bamboo slices thrown into the stove had turned to dust, Kuai Tong's eyes became firm and he said: "It is really a shame for famous people to let narrow-minded people like Yao Jia control famous people for a long time."
