Chapter 268 You want me to stop? (A big chapter of 8,000 words)
Meng Jiakun, Bai Fei, and Xi Shu looked upright and inviolable, as if they were saying something extremely sacred.
The slight commotion behind them slowly subsided with the impassioned words of the three.
It wasn't that these aristocratic families were moved by the words of the three people, but that although the words of the three people were extremely ridiculous, they probably didn't even believe what they said.
But its core is obvious, struggle. The three people showed that the three families will fight to the end.
Ying Chengyu wanted to exterminate the Qin family, so the three major families of Meng, Xibai and Meng stood up to fight for the Qin family and seek benefits for all the families.
No matter what the heads of these aristocratic families really think, if they dare to rebel at this moment, they will inevitably be ostracized and scorned by the Qin aristocratic families.
Cai Ze, who originally wanted to laugh when he saw the three people's pretentious looks, saw the reactions of the people behind them, but he no longer had any intention of laughing.
The matter has come to this, and there is no need to continue arguing.
"Listening to your words is better than spending a hundred years studying." The old man clapped his hands together and said with excitement, "Ze is willing to be such a person."
"Then please ask Mr. Gangcheng to visit Gan Xian's nephew for us." Meng Jiakun stepped forward, grabbed the old man's hand and shook it heavily, "No one but Mr. Gangcheng could do this!"
When Cai Ze entered Xianyang Prison, he was exposed to Ying Chengyu, which was tantamount to active provocation.
If Ying Chengyu wants to attack the aristocratic family again, he will first attack Cai Ze.
To hit a snake seven inches away, to capture the thief first, capture the king. This is the same reason as Ying Chengxuan was the first to capture Gan Luo and put him in Xianyang Prison some time ago.
The old man wanted to shirk, because he didn't want to get involved in the muddy water in front of him. He smelled the danger from the moment Gan Luo was arrested and sent to Xianyang Prison.
But Meng Jiakun didn't use much force, but held his hand tightly to let the old man know.
The Meng family represented by Meng Jiakun in front of him, as well as the respective aristocratic families represented by the aristocratic families and residences behind Meng Jiakun, will not let him go.
If Meng Ao, who was an official at the same time as Cai Ze, was in this position, he would curse a group of bird people, then pull out the Qin sword from his waist and say, "I am going to kill you bird people."
If Lu Buwei, who had been the prime minister with Cai Ze, was in this position, he would look at all the aristocratic families with a smile. How do you compare yourself to the Zhao royal family? I can risk my life to take the late king out of Handan, but will I be coerced by you today?
Qin has a magical charm.
No matter where he comes from or what his status is, as long as he joins the Qin State as an official, whether he is a civil servant or a military commander, his character will inspire a bloodthirsty and strong side.
This is due to the national conditions of the Qin State. Shang Yang invented the twenty-level military meritorious titles of the Qin State, and the promotion system was open and transparent.
It is much better than in most other countries where the monarch can decide what title to upgrade to, which is enough to inspire everyone to strive for the first place.
For example, the wealthy and undisciplined people of Qi Meng Ao entered the Qin Dynasty and began to claim to be the public and cursed the birds.
If profit comes first, the amiable and wealthy businessman Lu Buwei joins the Qin Dynasty and takes over all power, ousting the First Emperor.
"Can."
The old man agreed heartily.
Over the years, the only one who can remain ice-cold amidst the boiling, rolling, and bubbling magma of Qin State is Lord Gangcheng Cai Ze.
All the heads of the aristocratic families laughed, the old man's choice was in their interests.
Outside the house, the starlight in the sky became dimmer and dimmer, until at dawn the warm orange sun rose in the sky.
Outside Xianyang Prison, there were more than ten carriages arriving early, which made the guards guarding Xianyang Prison feel much more energetic.
They were still a little sleepy early in the morning, but they suddenly stopped feeling sleepy, for fear that something would happen.
They did not step forward to investigate, because carriages symbolized status, and commoners did not have the money to maintain carriages. Most of the people who could ride carriages in Xianyang City were high-ranking figures.
Inside these carriages were a group of aristocratic family heads. In order to prevent the situation where the old man promised to be nice at the banquet and then went home to pretend to be dead from happening again, they personally escorted the old man to the outside of Xianyang Prison.
A group of heads of aristocratic families were sitting in the carriage, watching the old man enter Xianyang Prison with their own eyes. They still wanted to wait for the old man to come out.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a demonstration. Cai Ze is leading these aristocratic families to demonstrate against Ying Chengxuan. These aristocratic families are standing up for Cai Ze.
And this is the result that the aristocratic families want to achieve.
…
"Jun Chang'an, Ze Ke has no intention of being your enemy. Ze was forced to do so."
When the old man entered Xianyang Prison, he didn't even look for Gan Luo. He went straight to the cell where Ying Chengyu was.
When he met Ying Chenglong for the first time, he immediately bowed ninety degrees and made a great salute. He expressed that he had no intention of being an enemy of Ying Chenglong and his attitude was respectful.
Ying Chengyu looked at the old man with a half-smile, and helped the old man up.
"If Mr. Wu had not said that the sky would have changed a long time ago, the king would have made a decision. My grandfather would not have destroyed the Emperor of Zhou. Those who are good at fighting will not have great achievements. Mr. Wang is good at planning, so he will not have many achievements.
"My grandfather said that you are a genius, and that Qin can unify the world with great contributions. How dare you accept this gift from me? It really offends me."
Cai Ze looked sincere.
"Chang'an Jun is willing to fight against the world for the sake of the world. Chang'an Jun is a genius. Ze can only act according to the weather and follow the tide, but Chang'an Jun goes against the will and braves the wind and waves. In terms of strategy and courage, Ze is inferior to Chang'an Jun.
Just in case."
"Be the enemy of the world for the sake of the world." Ying Chengyu repeated, and helped Cai Ze sit down on the unusually soft bed covered with three layers of animal skins, "Sir, do you know what Chengyu wants to do?"
"The Lord of Chang'an is as deep in wisdom as the sea, and Ze only knows the wind and waves on the sea. However, even the wind and waves have beaten Ze in his heart, and he is convinced that Lord Chang'an is really the reincarnation of a saint. Confucius and Li Er are just deceivers and robbers who are not worthy of the status of a saint."
Mr. Chang'an is the true saint."
Although Ying Chengyu knew that the old man was flattering, he looked at the old man's serious expression and listened to his sincere words.
For a moment, I had the illusion that the old man was not complimenting me, but speaking his mind.
The same compliments are given to a prodigy recognized by King Qin Zhaoxiang and an unknown person. Obviously, the former is more appreciated.
Ying Chengxuan chuckled and said: "Gangcheng Jun, Chengxuan knows your character. I understand that you will definitely not take the initiative to join the game and be the leader. There is no need to say polite words to you and me. Chengxuan wants to know, Gangcheng Jun's attitude towards Cheng
What do you think of what Xi did?"
"People who can do things that ordinary people can't do are extraordinary people. The world is painted by extraordinary people. Chang'an Lord can do things that ordinary people can't do. Just like Fuxi opened the world with one painting, he didn't paint between the heaven and the earth.
It’s about rebuilding the world. It’s such an honor to be able to meet him at the right time..."
"Ahem."
Ying Chengyu coughed twice and looked unkindly at the old man who looked excited and seemed honored to have experienced such a big event.
"Tsunari-kun is so good at talking, why not just stay here and relieve your boredom with Tsunari."
The old man's voice stopped suddenly, and his high-spirited passion was instantly interrupted. He lowered his head and looked at Ying Chengyu with a very resentful look, as if to say, Mr. Chang'an, you are so moodless.
Ying Chengyu resisted the urge to slap him, but Cai Ze's eyes made him feel very cold.
This look was very familiar to Ying Chengyu. It had been a long time since a beautiful lady came to the balcony, and the maids in the Chang'an Palace who always wanted to climb out of the window always looked at him like this.
"If Tsunade-kun looks at me like this again, I will have no choice but to send Tsunade-kun to the cell where Bao Beringzhi lived."
I don't like flattery, and I don't do violence based on my intention, but I can say a few words to my son.
The old man nodded secretly, sitting on the bed and said: "The late King Zhaoxiang once said that Lord Chang'an was in a leisurely mood, unlike the people of Qin. Now that I have seen him, I know that this statement is true. In this case, Ze can speak freely."
Ying Chengyu sat on his knees, facing Cai Ze, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, please teach me."
Ying Chengyu has never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, and has never thought that his wisdom alone can overwhelm the world.
What surpasses the ancients is only the outstanding vision brought by two thousand years.
In terms of the actual operation of things, it would be nice if he is not at a disadvantage compared with these historical figures who can leave their names in history.
"Ze, may I ask Lord Chang'an whether he considers himself a king or a minister?"
Ying Chengyu was silent for a moment.
Cai Ze placed this question at the very beginning, which means that this question is the basis of the subsequent conversation, and all subsequent words are derived from this question.
His answer will lead today's conversation to two directions.
The old man looked at Ying Chengyu who didn't answer. The two old legs pressed under his buttocks were shaking a little, and the hands flat on his knees began to tremble.
Do you still need to think about this question?
This must be Chen!
Are you considering it seriously?
Ying Chengyu sighed softly at the old man's slightly panicked eyes and said, "Just treat him like a minister."
Many of the things that Ying Chengyu did were things that only a king could do, but from the beginning to the end, Ying Chengyu never thought about becoming a king.
After thinking about it, Ying Chengyu gave the answer.
Chen, he really didn’t want to be an emperor because he didn’t like going to work, and he didn’t have the confidence to do better than the First Emperor when he sat in that position.
The First Emperor could dominate the world with his power, but Ying Chengyu thought he couldn't do it.
What does it mean to be a minister?
The old man's lips trembled and he said, "If Lord Chang'an says this, I won't bother you anymore."
The old man smelled something extremely dangerous and wanted to run away.
"I'm joking with you, I'm joking with Tsuna-kun. Don't take it to your heart, Tsuna-kun."
Cai Ze wanted to just walk away, but he felt that if he said this, he would probably drown in Xianyang Prison like Bao Bailingzhi.
You don't look like you are joking at all. I will quickly say goodbye to you and leave.
"If you become a minister, no matter whether Chang'an Lord's wishes can be realized or not, you will inevitably die."
Ying Chengyu raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to signal Cai Ze to continue.
Cai Ze saw that Ying Chengyu's eyes were clear and slightly curious, but there was no trace of anger in them.
Combining the previous testing of Ying Chengyu and the understanding of Ying Chengyu's deeds over the years, it is judged that Ying Chengyu will not be disadvantageous to him because of his words.
Putting his heart down, he continued: "The king is wise and the ministers are capable. This is the great blessing of the world. The king is wise and the ministers are upright. This is the blessing of a country. My father is loving, my son is filial, my husband is honest, and my wife is loyal. This is the blessing of the world."
A family blessing.
"However, Zixu was loyal and scheming, but he could not save the state of Wu. Shen Sheng was filial, but the state of Jin was in chaos. They were loyal ministers and filial to their sons. However, their country fell into chaos. May I ask Lord Chang'an, why is this?
"
Ying Chengyu said without thinking: "Because the king of Wu whom Wu Zixu served was mediocre, and Shen Sheng's father was not worthy. The advice given by Wu Zixu and Shen Sheng was not listened to, and their voices were not heard by their king. Their father
in the ears.”
Blinking, Ying Chengyu said thoughtfully: "Sir, when you say this, are you comparing me to Wu Zixu and Shen Sheng, and comparing yourself to King Wu and Duke Xiang of Jin to Your Majesty?"
Although Cai Ze is a veteran, he has never actually had any dealings with Ying Chengyu.
Because he is too "stoic", he feels that the more he knows, the more dangerous he is, so he hides in secret.
But Cai Ze is still very clear about major public events such as "One son, two kings".
Therefore, it was no surprise that Ying Chengyu, who was labeled as unlearned and unskilled, could answer so quickly and accurately, and guess what he was going to say next.
Cai Ze, who served as the prime minister for King Qin Zhaoxiang, knew very well that King Qin Zhaoxiang, who was able to seize power from his biological mother Mi Bazi, was a wise ruler with a ruthless vision.
The future king that such a wise king is optimistic about cannot be a person who does not read books.
"That's it." Cai Ze affirmed: "Everyone in the world thinks that the fathers of such kings are shameful, and they pity their ministers and sons who sympathize with them. Chang'an Jun's intention is to centralize power, and what he wants is your majesty, but will your majesty do this?
What does Lord Chang'an want?"
Ying Chengyu patted the thick animal skin underneath him and pointed at Cai Ze.
"I can feel free here, and you can sit in front of me and talk to me. What do you think His Majesty thinks of me?"
Cai Ze shook his head and said: "Water has no permanent shape, and people have no fixed nature. King Wu Fu Chai defeated Yue and made King Gou Jian of Yue a slave. He pulled his cart and tasted his excrement, which avenged his father's shame. He used Wu Zixu highly and trusted him. At that time,
Can you say that Fu Chai was not a good king? Who could have predicted that he would force Wu Zixu to commit suicide and gouge out Wu Zixu's eyes within a few years?
"After Duke Xian of the Jin Dynasty came to the throne, he used the strategy of the scholar Wei to wipe out the descendants of Uncle Quwo Huan and Uncle Quwo Zhuang to consolidate the throne. He pursued the policy of respecting the king and improved his reputation. He attacked Li Rong, Geng, Huo and Wei.
, defeated Di Rong. He adopted Xun Xi's false plan to attack Guo, destroyed the powerful enemy Yu State, and Guo State, and merged the seventeenth country and conquered the thirty-eighth country.
"His merits and achievements were so outstanding. At that time, who could say that Duke Xiang of Jin was not a pioneering overlord? Who could have thought that such a king would favor Li Ji in his old age and force a virtuous man to death after speaking for a woman.
Where is your Crown Prince Shensheng? When a person is in his prime of life, he is not the same person as when he is old. Your Majesty will also grow old."
Ying Chengyu remained silent.
According to the original history, the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, expelled the Xiongnu in the north, and conquered the Baiyue in the south.
In his later years, in pursuit of immortality, he no longer called himself me, but changed his name to Zhenren.
Xu Fu was sent out to the East China Sea to visit immortals, and the alchemist who made alchemy became his guest. His behavior was very different from when he was in his prime.
What Cai Ze said cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it is indeed very similar.
Ying Chengyu looked at Cai Ze who was sitting in front of him, and he became serious.
He didn't think that with him around, the First Emperor would still go the same way. But without him, what Cai Ze said was right.
He relied on history books for his foresight, while Cai Ze's foresight relied entirely on his own inferences.
"Others say that Mr. Wang is good at preserving himself in troubled times. He has learned the language of the world and has a deep misunderstanding of Mr. Wang. If I had had an argument with Mr. before, my grandfather would not have allowed Mr. to resign twenty years ago."
Cai Ze didn't care in his heart. Twenty years ago, you were only five or six years old, still a child. Can Ze tell you that you can understand?
But he said: "Miao Zan, Lord Chang'an, Ze is just timid. Since Lord Chang'an speaks like this, he must know how to act..."
"No." Ying Chengxuan said decisively: "Brother Huang will not do what the gentleman said. Sir, I don't know. Brother Huang once declared in the Xianyang Palace, 'If the hero cannot escape unscathed, how can Ying Zheng stand in the world'."
Ying Chengyu couldn't say that he would control the First Emperor and prevent him from going astray, otherwise Cai Ze would definitely think that he was bragging.
He could only use what the First Emperor once said to refute Cai Ze, which was somewhat credible.
Ying Chengyu did not want Cai Ze to misunderstand the First Emperor. He wanted to bring this extremely far-sighted Gang Chengjun who was good at preserving himself in troubled times into the world.
To achieve his ideal world, the more talents he has, the easier it will be to succeed, and the more leisurely he will be.
Ying Chengyu, who was looking for followers all over the world, did not expect that he would make the mistake of being under the lamp, wooing famous ministers and generals from the six countries, and forgetting his base camp, Qin.
Cai Ze sighed deeply in his heart.
How come I don’t know this? But even if you have heard what Your Majesty said, don’t take it seriously. Who in the world would not break his promise?
It is quite natural for this man to dare to address His Majesty by his first name. It seems that he has a very close relationship with His Majesty.
But, this is the way to die.
That's all, since this son is the king established by the late King Zhaoxiang, I'll just say a few words to you.
"Your Majesty has said this? This is the first time that Ze has heard of it. The three deaths of Lord Chang'an are considered to be in the past."
"Huh? Three death tribulations?" Ying Chengqiao laughed and said, "Sir, please tell me about the remaining two tribulations."
"I dare to ask Lord Chang'an if he has the consciousness to die after success."
"No." Ying Chengyu shook his head immediately without thinking, and said: "I don't know whether it will be successful or not, but I definitely can't die."
Is this kid also afraid of death?
Cai Ze's eyes lit up, he tilted his head slightly and confirmed again: "You really don't have Mr. Chang'an?"
At the wax festival, Ying Chengyu raved about things such as "I am here, Qin will have no heaven", "I will destroy the nobles of the world", and "Let's talk to this world".
These words made Cai Ze think of Ying Chengyu in his heart as a madman who was not afraid of death in order to realize his ideals.
The things that Ying Chengyu did were considered by most people to be seeking death. Cai Ze did not expect that Ying Chengyu could actually say such words that he was afraid of death.
"It's really not true. Everything I do is predicated on my being alive. If you want to achieve success by my death, then there is no need!"
That’ll be easy!
Cai Ze leaned forward, feeling that he would be able to persuade Ying Chengyu today because he had found something in common with Ying Chengyu.
"I agree with Lord Chang'an that merit should come second to life. However, as ministers, Shang Yang and Wu Qi did the right thing. As their kings, Xiaoxian Gong and King Chu Ai were also wise and obeyed them.
of advice.
"But these two people made great achievements but were not rewarded. They left after the death of the monarch who trusted them. This ending is very disapproving of Ze.
"If only death can establish a reputation for loyalty, then Wei Zi cannot be called a benevolent person, Confucius cannot be called a saint, and Guan Zhong cannot be called a great man. If people want to make meritorious deeds, don't they expect their achievements to be successful?
"Those who can preserve their own lives and reputations through their achievements are considered superior; those whose reputations are insulted but their own lives can be preserved are middle-class; those whose fame and achievements can be followed by future generations but whose own lives cannot be preserved are inferior."
Bang bang bang~
Ying Chengyu nodded repeatedly and applauded.
In this era when society generally believes that reputation is more important than life, it is not easy to hear Cai Ze's remarks.
"The great kindness Tsunagi-kun said has won my heart!"
Cai Ze also feels the same way. He has always believed that it is a good thing that he is good at preserving himself in troubled times, but he has always been criticized.
Today he got Ying Chengxuan's approval. Although he couldn't tell whether Ying Chengxuan really thought it or just agreed with it, it didn't stop him from feeling happy.
At that moment, he caught the gap in Ying Chengyu's "praise for virtue" and took advantage of the situation to say: "Shang Yang and Wu Qi, as ministers, they have devoted their loyalty to build achievements, which is admirable. Hong Yao served King Wen of Zhou, and Duke Zhou assisted King Cheng of Zhou.
Aren't they also devoted to loyalty and wisdom? In terms of the relationship between monarch and minister, how do Shang Yang and Wu Qi compare with Hong Yao and Zhou Gong?"
Hong Yao was the founding hero of the Western Zhou Dynasty and one of the four close friends of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty Jichang.
"Historical Records. Yin Benji": The disciples of Hong Yao, a minister of Xibo, asked for beautiful women, rare things, and good horses as offerings to Zhou, and Zhou pardoned Xibo.
Ji Chang was able to return to Xiqi thanks to Hong Yao. Ji Chang was always grateful for Hong Yao's life-saving grace and responded to his requests.
Duke of Zhou is Duke of Zhou, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou Jifa and the uncle of King Cheng of Zhou.
After the death of King Zhou Wu, King Zhou Cheng succeeded to the throne. King Zhou Cheng was only twelve years old at that time. Duke Zhou was entrusted by King Zhou Wu to rule on his behalf.
During this period, Zhou Ping rectified Wu Geng's rebellion and established the Zhou rites that Confucianism had always wanted to restore. It was so popular in the Zhou Dynasty that it was easy to depose his nephew King Zhou Cheng as emperor.
There is a saying in Cao Cao's "Dan Ge Xing": The Duke of Zhou vomits food, and the world returns to its heart.
That is to say, the Duke of Zhou is expected to govern the world, and everyone loves him and is willing to obey his jurisdiction.
In this case, when King Zhou Cheng turned twenty years old, it was time to return the throne. The Duke of Zhou did not show any nostalgia for power and returned the throne to his nephew, King Zhou Cheng.
Therefore, although Duke Xiao of Qin trusted Shang Yang, King Ai of Chu also trusted Wu Qi.
But compared with the two pairs of monarchs and ministers, King Wen of Zhou and Hong Yao, King Cheng of Zhou and Duke of Zhou, they were still far behind.
Ying Chengyu had read all the books of the dynasty and was aware of some major events. He immediately said: "Shang Jun, Wu Qi is not as good as Hong Yao, Duke of Zhou."
Cai Ze said: "In this case, your majesty is kind, benevolent, trustworthy and loyal to his ministers, is kind and honest and never forgets old friendships, and has deep friendship and never betrays his heroes. In these aspects, compared with filial piety to our ancestors, how is King Chu Mourning?"
There is a saying that the living can never compare to the dead.
Duke Xiao of Qin and King Ai of Chu did not harm Shang Yang or Wu Qi until their deaths.
Now that the First Emperor is still alive, although he said "If the heroes cannot escape unharmed, how can Ying Zheng stand in the world?" But as long as the First Emperor is not dead, there is the possibility of killing other officials.
In terms of trusting people and ministers, we cannot say that the First Emperor was better than Qin Xiaogong and Chu Mourning King.
Cai Ze grasped this point, making Ying Chengyu roll his eyes and hesitate to speak.
Ying Chengyu could totally argue that His Majesty is much stronger, but that would be a fool's errand. If you want to conquer talents, you can't rely on making jokes.
Cai Ze saw that Ying Chengyu had been silent, so he said: "Now that your majesty is close to loyal ministers, you can't surpass Qin Xiaogong and Chu Yu Wang. And your status is also different. You are from the royal family. Although you use your talents and work hard to solve the crisis for your majesty,
. To regulate the country, centralize the power, strengthen the military, eliminate troubles, eliminate disasters, expand the territory, increase grain, make the country rich and powerful, and the people rich.
"Strengthen Your Majesty's power so that Your Majesty can dominate the world. His Majesty's majesty spans ancient and modern times, shocking all parts of the country, and his achievements are shown in places thousands of miles away. His reputation is brilliant and will be passed down through generations. In these aspects, even Shang Yang and Wu Qi combined are not as good as them."
The trust and favor given by His Majesty to Lord Chang'an far exceeds those given by Duke Xiao to Shang Yang and King Chu Mourning to Wu Qi.
"But this is all for a moment. His majesty's closeness to loyal ministers and his unforgettable friendship are not as good as those of the filial piety to the ancestors and the king of Chu. There will be times when he will be unfaithful. However, the achievements, trust and favor of Lord Chang'an are greater than those of Shang Yang and Wu Qi.
From Chong. Wen to Xiangbang, Wu to Guowei, there is no greater official position than this.
"Ze heard that Lord Chang'an has been staying in the tower for a long time. The wealth of Chang'an Lord's house is that of Shang Yang, ten times and a hundred times that of Wu Qi's family. Lord Chang'an was originally chosen by the late King Zhaoxiang to be the king. Your Majesty will not be afraid. I can become the king.
This is a taboo. Lord Chang'an is now second only to the king in power.
"As the saying goes, the sun will gradually deflect when it reaches the middle, the moon will begin to wane when it reaches its full state, and things will decline when they reach their peak. This is the routine of everything in the world. Advance and retreat, expansion and contraction, in line with the changes of the times, this is
The common sense that saints abide by.
"Mr. Chang'an, look at animals such as kingfishers, swans, rhinoceros, and elephants. The first two fly in the sky where humans cannot go. Although the latter two fall to the ground, their power is much farther than humans. They should be far away from death, but
As long as people lay out bait, they can still be killed. The reason why they died is that they were confused by the bait. For Lord Chang'an, merit is the poisonous bait.
"People like Su Qin and Zhi Bo were resourceful and resourceful. It was not that they were unable to avoid shame and death, but the reason why they died unexpectedly was because they were deceived by greed. Therefore, the sages formulated rituals and laws to control their desires.
"There must be limits to the collection of property from the people. Expropriation from the people must be in accordance with the season and in moderation. Therefore, the mind should not be too demanding, the actions should not be arrogant and unreasonable, and the principle of restraining etiquette and desire should be strictly observed at all times and in everything, so as not to lose it.
"In the past, Duke Huan of Qi had nine alliance meetings with the princes to stop the melee and bring order to the world. However, when he came to the Kuiqiu alliance meeting, he was arrogant and arrogant. As a result, many countries rebelled against him. King Wu Fu Chai's army was invincible in the world.
, relying on his bravery and strength, he despised the various princes and invaded Qi and Jin, so he was eventually killed and the country perished.
"Xia Yu, Taishi Ao was so brave that he could scare away the army with just one shout, but in the end he died at the hands of mediocre people. These are all people who, when they are extremely famous and successful, they think they can do anything. They cannot be humble.
What a disaster caused by self-control.
"Shang Yang declared the filial piety system to the whole country and banned the sources of evil and evil. He advocated the feudal system to reward those who have merit and to punish those who were guilty. Unify measures, quantities, and measures to regulate the importance of goods, currency circulation, etc. Eradicate the crisscrossing of farm fields and allow
Reclaim wasteland so that the people can live peacefully and have common customs. Encourage the people to farm, so that the land can be used effectively, and the family does not have two businesses. Work hard to cultivate the fields to store food, and practice military battle formations in peacetime. Therefore, the army can expand the territory, and the army can
Rest and reorganization can make the country rich. Therefore, the Qin State is invincible in the world, shows its prestige among the princes, and lays the foundation of the Qin State. After the success of the work, he was torn apart by a chariot and died.
"The territory of the Chu State is thousands of miles in diameter, and there are millions of soldiers. Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, led tens of thousands of troops to fight with the Chu army. In the first battle, they captured Yan and Ying, and burned the ancestral tombs of Yiling. Later, they crossed
In South Korea, Wei State went to attack the powerful Zhao State. In the north, they killed the army of Zhao Kuo, son of Ma Fujun Zhao She, and massacred more than 400,000 people and buried them alive in Changping. The blood flowed into a river, and the bloody water roared like thunder.
"Then he besieged Handan and made Qin an emperor. Chu and Zhao were powerful countries in the world, but they were enemies of Qin. From then on, Chu and Zhao surrendered out of fear and did not dare to attack Qin again. This is
Bai Qi was so majestic. He personally conquered more than 70 cities and accomplished his feats, but was given a sword by King Zhaoxiang to commit suicide.
"Wu Qi formulated a decree for King Chu Mourning to reduce and weaken the power of ministers. He dismissed mediocre people, deposed useless people, cut down unnecessary officials, eliminated requests from rich and noble families, and unified the customs of Chu State.
"Forbid vagrants to wander without work, select and train peasant soldiers who can both farm and fight, recruit Yang Yue to the south, and annex the two small states of Chen and Cai to the north, expose the useless arguments of vertical and horizontal schemes, and let those who come and go lobby
Unable to speak.
"It was forbidden to form parties for personal gains and encourage the people to work and fight for the country, which brought political stability to the state of Chu, shocked the world with its military power, and intimidated the princes and other countries. The work was accomplished, but in the end he was brutally dismembered and died.
"Dafu Wenzhong made foresight for the king of Yue, avoiding the imminent crisis of being trapped in Kuaiji and subjugating the country, and adopted the strategy of surrender to survive. He sought the glory of restoring the country through the humiliation of the king and his ministers, reclaimed wasteland, recruited homeless people to enrich the city, and opened up
Farmland, grow grains, and lead people across the country.
"Gather all the strength from top to bottom to assist a capable king like Gou Jian, avenge Fu Chai's hatred of destroying Yue, finally destroy the powerful Wu State, and make Yue become the overlord. His achievements are obvious and he gained trust, but Gou Jian finally became ungrateful.
He killed.
"These four gentlemen have accomplished their work but are still not satisfied. They want to continue to do it, but they have suffered such misfortunes. This is what is said about being able to stretch but not bend, and being able to go but not go back.
"Fan Li understands this truth, so he detaches himself from the world and stays away from the world, and will always be a leisurely Tao Zhugong. Haven't you seen those people who gamble? Sometimes they have to place big bets, and sometimes they have to place small bets in installments.
These are all things you clearly know.
"Now that you are serving as the prime minister and captain of the state of Qin, you don't have to leave your seat to make plans, and you don't have to leave the court to plan. Your achievements have reached their peak. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? If you still want to continue doing things at this time, then you are Shang Yang.
