Seeing the scene in the courtyard, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Different from the eucalyptus tables that were arranged in an orderly manner in the past, the eucalyptus tables in the courtyard are arranged horizontally, or even close together, except for the most conspicuous large eucalyptus table at the top, and that plan was obviously prepared by the First Emperor.
What surprised Fusu was Qin Luoheng's relationship with the other young masters.
It has only been less than half a month since Qin Luoheng regained his identity. Naturally, he only has such a short time to return to the palace. But now, he has become involved with many young masters. Although most of the people who talk and laugh with Qin Luoheng are underage.
Young Master, but it was enough to frighten him.
When they saw Fusu, everyone bowed in unison.
Fusu walked to the burning stove and said with a smile: "The return of the tenth brother has made the palace lively, but why does this banquet feel different from the usual banquets?"
Before Qin Luoheng could say anything, the Thirteenth Young Master Ying Ronglu said first: "Brother, the Tenth Brother said that this banquet is a barbecue. It's cold now. It's freshly grilled and eaten. It tastes hot. And you can eat whatever you want.
Do it, this is called doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing."
After Ying Ronglu finished speaking, bursts of laughter could be heard from all around.
"Barbecue?" Fusu frowned and looked around, thoughtfully.
Qin Luoheng said: "It's just a regular way of eating it. But in the past, it was mostly roasted whole. Now it's replaced by roasting only parts. Of course, there are vegetables and the like. Brother, you can try it later."
Fusu nodded.
He walked around casually.
Seeing that the other young masters were in high spirits, a few young ones even got into some arguments because of this, which caused a lot of laughter around them. When everything was ready, everyone returned to their seats with a smile, but because they were mostly talking to each other
They are next to each other, so they are actually very close to each other.
After everyone sat down, Qin Luoheng brought a pot of tea.
He smiled and said: "When I was recuperating in Dongjun, I found a few tea trees, and then had some tea leaves roasted. The taste was sweet and delicious, and it could also refresh the mind. I used to stay outside and didn't know much about palace etiquette.
I understand, but I don’t have much to offer, so I can only come up with these.”
Qin Luoheng put the teapot on the eucalyptus.
soon.
Then there were eunuchs who filled the bronze bottles on each person's head.
Everyone in the venue looked at it curiously for a few times, and they were also excited. They directly picked it up and took a few sips. They had noble status and drank a lot of wine in the past. After taking a few sips, they immediately frowned and drank the tea.
, but the taste is a bit strange to them, completely different from the drinking water they have drunk before.

Qin Luoheng didn't say much.
Just drinking on his own.
Everyone saw this, but few were willing to try it, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.
Looking at the people all around who were bowing their heads, Qin Luoheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The ancient etiquette really made people feel helpless. Fusu didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to say anything at all. They could only play with the wine bottles on the side.
Or maybe just staring at the table boredly, looking lost in thought.
There was only the crackling sound of the campfire all around.
Qin Luoheng said:
"Don't be so formal."
"Since ancient times, family dinners have been all about excitement."
"If everyone is so silent, wouldn't it make people feel angry?"
"When father arrives later and sees us all silent, he may think there is a dispute."
"Since none of you are willing to speak, then I'll give you some ideas."
"Why don't men envy Wu Gou?"
"When I was still in school, like everyone else, I longed to enter the officialdom in the future and be a qualified Qin official, or even 'literary can bring peace to the world with his pen, and military can mount his horse to determine the world.' But what happened later
Some things made me waver in this idea.”
"Especially now that you are the Young Master of Great Qin, it makes me even more frightened."
"I've also been thinking about a question."
"Long-term peace and stability."
"How can Da Qin maintain long-term peace and stability?"
"All men are fond of political affairs. Although the Qin Dynasty is in the north and is surrounded by the Huns, internal troubles are still there. However, we will not talk about those today. We will only talk about the future affairs of the Qin Dynasty. Among my brothers, I am neither older nor younger. I can only talk about it.
He is considered to be in the middle of the pack, and his academic career has ended hastily. His knowledge is naturally far inferior to that of his brothers, but he still has great ambitions."
"Of course, we have little talent and little knowledge, so we cannot compare with the important officials of the imperial court."
"But as a young master of the Qin Dynasty, I should pledge my life to the country. Maybe in the past, there were courtiers in front of me, so I didn't dare to express my opinions lightly. But now it is a family banquet, when I am high-spirited and even talk nonsense. I hope
We can speak freely to each other, at least what we think in our hearts."
"It took hundreds of years for the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty to finally unify the world and establish the Qin Dynasty. How dare we, as descendants of future generations, slack off and stay depressed all day long?"
Finished.
Qin Luoheng waved his sleeves and signaled the surrounding eunuchs and maids to retreat.
After a moment of hesitation, the eunuchs and maids all retreated out of the courtyard, leaving only the princes and princesses in the courtyard.
Qin Luoheng stood up, sprinkled some chili powder and Sichuan pepper powder on the roasted lamb leg, then cut it into pieces and served them to everyone.
Fusu looked at Qin Luoheng with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He couldn't guess Qin Luoheng's thoughts.
He originally thought that Qin Luoheng held the family banquet to win over other young masters, but judging from the current situation, Qin Luoheng did not seem to have this idea and just wanted to have a harmonious meal as a family.
He tasted the mutton on the eucalyptus board with his knife and fork.
It tastes really good.
Then, Fusu took the initiative and said: "The tenth brother is right. When a family sits together, it is always more lively. Even if the tenth brother takes the lead, how can I, as the elder brother, keep silent?"
"As for long-term peace and stability..."
"I do have some ideas."
"In my opinion, Da Qin should implement benevolent government and appease the people of the world."
"The people are at peace, and the Qin Dynasty will be at peace."
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
said:
"Brother's words are too broad."
"I suggest changing the perspective. If you stand from the perspective of the country, how should you govern? If you stand from the perspective of civilians, what should you do?"
"We live in the imperial family garden, and our lives can be described as extremely glorious."
"I once traveled among the people and experienced the hardships of people's livelihood. It is difficult to govern the world with a benevolent policy. What is benevolence? What is the object of benevolence and righteousness? What is the price?"
"What we want is implementation, not so-called rhetoric."
"Perhaps the topic of long-term peace and stability is too empty, and we are really inexperienced, but we should all have thought about who is in charge, so let's change the topic. Brothers, what do you think is the key to governing the country and governing the people?"
It's quiet all around.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.
They had indeed had the idea of taking the lead, but Qin Luoheng was probably the first to say it directly like he did today.
Hu Hai chewed the mutton in his mouth hard.
After hesitating for a while, he said: "I don't know how to govern a country, nor do I know how to govern the people, but our country, the Qin Dynasty, is based on law. As long as we abide by the legal system and follow the law, it should not be difficult to govern the country or the people."
"In my opinion, the way to govern lies in the law!"
aside.
Young Master Gao hesitated for a long time.
He opened his mouth and said:
"I think the way to govern a country is to ensure stability."
"When the world is in turmoil, disaster will inevitably occur."
"The first thing to do in governing a country is to make the world stable. The Zhou Dynasty was founded for nearly 800 years, but during this period, wars broke out frequently. People were displaced, wives and children were separated, and families were broken up and dead. In such an environment, it was hard to even stay alive.
If it becomes a luxury, how can we talk about governance?”
"Now under the rule of my father, the six lands have been leveled, the Xiongnu have been driven away, and it is difficult for Baiyue to defeat the Qin cavalry. When the foreign troubles are eradicated, and then the remnants of the six kingdoms are cleaned up, the internal and external troubles have been eliminated, and the world will once again enter a period of peace.
The long-lost peace and prosperity.”
"Thus the rule of the world..."
"In Ding!"
The young master said:
"I do have a different opinion."
"Throughout ancient and modern times, the three generations of rule eventually collapsed."
"After my father founded the country, he has been vigorously innovating the system in order to create a new system. If the system can always operate normally, no matter whether the world is in chaos or not, Da Qin will always be solid."
"The governance of the world should be more important than control!"
The voice fell.
Other young masters also expressed their opinions.
Seeing this, a strange look appeared in Fusu's eyes, but he never thought that Qin Luoheng would be so capable of making other young masters express their thoughts.
This is really rare.
but.
He didn't care about it.
When the other young masters had finished speaking, Fusu looked around and made sure that there were no eunuchs or maids. He calmed down a little and then said: "I believe that the rule of the world should be based on benevolent governance. The world will be stable, the world will be peaceful, and the people will be prosperous.
, the country is strong and prosperous, this is Daren."
"I want to realize Daren."
"We must implement benevolent government and recuperate the people."
"People live and work in peace and contentment, so they will not break the law, let alone rebel."
"Right now, my father is really using the people too much. If he implements benevolent government and abolishes some harsh laws, how can the local people stop criticizing Qin's harsh government? Qin's laws are cruel. Without the support of local people, how can the remnants of the Six Kingdoms succeed?
?”
"The way to govern the world is benevolence."
"The country must be governed with benevolence, and the people must be lenient. Only in this way can the world return to its heart and all the people be subdued."
After Fusu finished speaking, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
Qin Luoheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He was already a bit unable to complain. He really didn't know whether he should say that Fusu was upright or that he had low emotional intelligence. No matter how good the other princes were, they would never say that the First Emperor was not good. However, Fusu seemed not to realize this and expressed his feelings directly without commenting on it at all.
Any cover-up will really make people hold their foreheads.
Seeing this, Young Master Gao quickly said: "Brother thinks it's benevolence, and I think it's An Ding. Now, most of our brothers have expressed their thoughts. I wonder what my tenth brother thinks?"
"My tenth brother used to live among the people. He has a deeper understanding of the people and must have some great opinions."
Qin Luoheng stood up and saluted everyone.
He opened his mouth and said:
"I can't talk about high opinions, but I do have some common opinions."
"This is not humility, but truth."
"In my opinion, the ultimate starting point of governing a country, whether it is law, stability, benevolence, or system, is that the country can operate normally, and the reason why the country can operate normally."
