After losing his father, he became more and more haggard. For a long time, he could not even stand up.
But even so, he still summoned the ministers to his mansion to discuss important national affairs with them. The ministers drafted a posthumous title for the deceased King of Qin, and the deceased King of Qin was King Zhaoxiang. The word Zhao means
The King of Qin behaved modestly and kindly. Well, for example, he kept the kings of Chu as guests, helped the Zhou royal family share the pressure of governing the world, invited the emperor to go on tours, and took the initiative to help the kings of various countries manage their territories.
Zhao also represents diligence. There is no doubt about this. King Qin worked hard to govern the country for fifty years. This level of diligence is really not comparable to that of any king. Xiang represents the expansion of territory and abundant martial virtue.
, it can be seen that the King of Qin was a man of martial ethics. He had been practicing martial ethics for decades and successfully expanded Qin's territory by one-third and established friendly relations with all countries.
The ministers decided on the posthumous title, and An Guojun became the fourth king of Qin after King Zhaoxiang.
However, An Guojun was still observing his filial piety. Due to physical reasons, he could not ascend the throne earlier. The officials reported to him in his mansion and accepted his orders here. An Guojun sat on the bed, trembling.
Looking at the ministers below, Lu Buwei lowered his head and said seriously: "I heard that Lord Chun Shen of Chu State is going to implement reforms in Chu State. I have read the content of the reforms. The methods of the reforms are very drastic and leave no room for error.
, this will definitely trigger a rebellion within the Chu State."
"Because of the previous rebellion, the Chu people did not have the ability to resist such unreasonable reforms. I believe that the Qin State should help the Chu people to resist such a cruel and harsh system. We must not allow Lord Chun Shen to persecute the Chu State like this."
The people of Chu, please order General Meng Ao and General Wang Lu to attack Chu and save the people of Chu." When Lu Buwei said this, he didn't even blush at all. It could be seen that he was already a qualified politician.
An Guojun squinted his eyes and coughed again. After coughing for a moment, he looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
Wang Lu looked at An Guojun seriously and said, "I think what the Prime Minister said is wrong. When Ying Hou was here, the strategy he formulated was to make friends with Qi, destroy the three Jins, and then plot against Chu after destroying the three Jins.
, Now the Qin State is not strong enough to destroy Chu State, and if Qin State attacks Chu State, Wei State and Zhao State will definitely unite to attack Qin State, and they should attack Zhao State and Wei State while Chu State has no time to worry about it."
The ministers immediately divided into two groups. Some people thought that they should take advantage of the Chu State's reform to attack him, while others felt that they should attack the Sanjin area now to prevent Chu State from intervening again.
An Guojun thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to stop the debate among the ministers. He looked at Han Fei among the ministers and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this matter?" Han Fei had no idea.
He said hesitantly: "Fight Chu." An Guojun was stunned and then asked: "Why?"
"The method formulated by Ying Hou to plot the world cannot be said to be wrong. However, the current situation is somewhat different. Zhao State has Lian Po, Li Mu, and Li Mu have trained hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the border fortress. If Qin State wants
In the crusade against Zhao, we will definitely encounter these elites, and Lian Po is good at using troops. I don’t think Qin’s generals can defeat him. As for Wei, although it seems that there are no generals available, if Wei is in danger of destruction, King Wei
I will definitely let Lord Xinling command the army of Wei."
"The talent of Lord Xinling in using troops is not inferior to that of Lian Po. If these two people are present, Qin will have no way to defeat them. Unless you can persuade my teacher to serve as a general, he can defeat these two people."
personal."
"Therefore, we can let the army attack Chu State. Jingyang of Chu State is much easier to deal with than Lian Po and Wei Wuji. If Zhao State and Wei State send troops to rescue, I think Qin State's generals can still block their attack.
"
After hearing Han Fei's words, the officials were in an uproar. Wang Lu, Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Hu Yang, Sima Geng, Zhang Tang and others were all very angry, including the young generals. They were also very angry at this moment.
They all made a loud noise, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with Han Fei. Han Fei almost pointed at them and said: Don't fight Zhao and Wei. You trash can't fight Lian Po and Wei Wuji. At most, they can only fight.
It can only withstand their attack.
Military generals are all arrogant, especially the arrogant generals of Qin. How could they endure such an insult?
As a result, they started to quarrel. If it weren't for Qin Fa, they would have dragged Han Fei into a duel now.
Even Lu Buwei and others were a little angry at the moment. Li Si wanted to say something and pondered for a moment, but did not speak. However, Lu Buwei smiled and said to Han Fei: "I heard that you, Lian Po, Wei Wuji and others are...
We are close friends, but you underestimate the strength of Qin State too much. Of course, I agree with your point of view. Qin State should indeed attack Chu State, but this is not because of the reasons you mentioned."
Han Fei raised his head and ignored everyone's anger. He just looked at An Guojun in front of him without any intention of defending himself.
Lord An Guo narrowed his eyes and said: "Send people to the State of Chu. I heard that the King of Chu is an immoral and cruel king. If someone wants to appoint someone else to be the King of Chu and replace him, the State of Qin will
General Meng Ao, who can help him, please be prepared." An Guojun had already issued the order, and the ministers could not say anything else and quickly agreed. When they left here, everyone looked at Han Fei indifferently.
friendly.
Han Fei ignored them and just drove to the teacher's residence.
As soon as everyone left, An Guojun lay down. He looked a little painful. Even sitting like this made him very uncomfortable. He was lying on the bed, and Mrs. Huayang was feeding him medicine. An Guojun drank the medicine.
But she was still thinking about the affairs of Chu State. While thinking about it, Mrs. Huayang suddenly said: "I haven't seen Mr. Changping for a few days. Where has he gone?"
An Guojun was stunned, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Qi?"
Mrs. Huayang nodded and said with a smile: "He usually likes to visit me. After the death of the king, he has never been here. He is alone and has no relatives. It is really heartbreaking." An Guojun
He said: "You don't have to worry about what I heard. He is by Wu Chengjun's side and studying with Wu Chengjun. He may be busy with his studies, so he doesn't have time to visit you."
"Ah? He is studying with Wu Chengjun? Then after he completes his studies, you can use him."
An Guojun suddenly realized something. He looked at Mrs. Huayang beside him with a smile and asked, "Is it an old friend from Chu who came to visit you?" Mrs. Huayang nodded and said, "Yes, they gave me a visit."
I brought some gifts and asked me about Lord Changping. The King of Chu seemed to be worried about him and said he wanted to take him back to Chu."
"Oh, worried about him?" An Guojun sneered and said: "His father has never taken care of him for a day, and now he still wants to take advantage of him? He is a ruthless and unjust beast who deserves to be hanged!", Huayang
The lady's expression changed drastically and she asked hurriedly: "Did I do something wrong?"
An Guojun smiled gently and said: "Don't worry, you did nothing wrong, King Chu's son." An Guojun suddenly thought of something, and he said to the warrior beside him: "Please call Lu Buwei." The warrior immediately
He took the order and walked out. After a long time, Lu Buwei, who had already returned to his mansion, came here in a hurry. Lord An Guo asked him to sit next to him.
"I want to make Lord Changping the King of Chu. What do you think?"
"no."
Lu Buwei rejected it outright, and Lu Buwei explained: "I understand your idea. You want to control Chu State through Changping Lord, but this is impossible. Changping Lord is a Chu person, although he grew up in Qin State.
, but if he becomes the king of Chu, he will definitely find a way to revitalize the country of Chu. A person who has been a king cannot lower his head and become someone else's minister."
"Besides, Lord Changping is a talented man. If you ask him to serve as King of Chu, he will use his understanding of Qin to become Qin's biggest enemy. He can serve as prime minister in Qin, but he cannot be
Sent to the State of Chu. In the State of Qin, he is a minister, but in the State of Chu, he can be a king. Not everyone can refuse such a temptation. Please don't have such thoughts."
An Guojun thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
At this time, Han Fei had already arrived at the teacher's mansion.
As soon as he arrived here, he heard the teacher's voice. Han Fei opened the door carefully, trying not to make any noise, and quietly sat in the last seat. Zhao Kuo sat in the middle of the crowd, talking seriously.
During the lecture, Zhao Kuo said: "Some gentlemen actually think that people who are engaged in mulberry farming are humble, but if there is no one to engage in mulberry farming, what will they eat? They eat the food grown by others, but they have to reprimand these people.
How can such a person be called a gentleman?"
"Some gentlemen think that craftsmen are lowly, and that those who develop these instruments are not doing their jobs properly and are villains who do not know morality. However, the craftsmen made millstones, which made many people full and saved many lives.
People, and how many people can be saved by gentlemen who talk about moral articles? Those who have no merit for the people of the country and only know how to scold people from other industries with books are the lowest villains I know.
"
"How to increase morality? I think a moral person is not a person who has read the books of sages, but a person who has made contributions to the people. This is the difference between saying and doing. To judge whether a person is moral or not, it is not about looking at
What he said depends on what he did. In ancient times, there was a Jizi. Many of the books he left behind were illogical words, but he never did anything illogical in his life. Study
Can people like Linguistics and History be considered villains?"
"In ancient times, there was an official named Qian. He spent his whole life studying morality and even served as a ritual officer in charge of sacrifices. However, when the barbarians destroyed his country, he did not dare to commit suicide by jumping into the water because the water was too cold.
, can such behavior as personally surrendering be considered a gentleman?"
Han Fei listened carefully and couldn't help but smile. The teacher began to make up stories again. The ancient stories the teacher told were just like the stories Han Fei told in daily life. They were all made up to express his political demands.
It came out, but the teacher could talk it out from beginning to end, and could make it up in such detail. This was where he was inferior to the teacher. Han Fei suddenly saw Zhao Zheng sitting beside him.
The little guy was holding a pen and bamboo slips and recording his father's words.
Seeing how fast he was writing, Han Fei poked his head out in surprise, but saw that the notes on the bamboo slips were messy. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell what was written. Han Fei shook his head helplessly.
, pretending, this is his most annoying behavior.
After Zhao Zheng noticed Han Fei's gaze, his handwriting immediately changed and he did not dare to write randomly like before.
Zhao Kuo said seriously again: "Looking down on craftsmen and not paying attention to technology is a very bad thing. It is the most detrimental thing to the country. In the future, no matter who it is, no matter what purpose he has, but
Anyone who denounces technological reform and thinks that these technologies are just miraculous tricks and used to please women will be sinners through the ages. Only by constantly studying and using advanced technology to govern the country can the country gradually prosper."
"Therefore, knowledge such as mathematics, optics, and sports are very important and must not be underestimated."
Zhao Kuo talked about it all day, and his mouth was a little dry. Then he stopped teaching. The disciples stood up and thanked the teacher. Han Fei was among them. After thanking the teacher, everyone went up to ask about their confusion.
The first person to come up was a luxuriously dressed nobleman. Zhao Kuo knew that his name was Xiong Qi and that he had just come to study with him recently, but he didn't know other things, such as his identity.
This young man is probably a noble from the Chu State. There are many such Chu nobles in the Qin State.
Xiong Qi asked: "Teacher, I want to ask you something about the technology you just mentioned. When King Zhou made sculptures that could spout spring water and made exquisite puppets that could be controlled, he spent the country's energy on it.
These things please your concubine, but are of no use to the country. How should we treat technology like this?" Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Who said that technology like this is useless?"
"Can the principle of sculpture be used for irrigation?"
"Can puppets that can be manipulated be used to make puppets that can help us farm?"
"There will be no useless technology. As long as it is used in the right place, it will be beneficial to the country."
In order for Chinese civilization to continue to value technology, Zhao Kuo worked hard. He only hoped that China would respect these craftsmen in the future, have more inventors, and make more things. He did not want to let
