Xiang Ji is an outstanding young man. His learning efficiency is astonishing. However, he lacks perseverance and patience. After achieving one of his goals, he is unwilling to continue studying. Although his uncle likes it very much,
This talented young man is still a little worried about his character... However, the good thing is that as long as this young man sets a goal for himself, he will definitely complete it and will never give up halfway.
The Xiang family is different from the other remnants of the Six Kingdoms. When Wu Chenghou was still alive, in order to avoid civil war, he proposed to relocate the nobles and nobles from various places to prevent them from interacting with each other and to prevent them from gaining traction in their homeland.
The common people formed a potential threat. When Wu Chenghou insisted on such execution against all opinions, many people did not understand why Wu Chenghou was so cruel to these down-and-out nobles.
Driving them out of their homeland, depriving them of the opportunity to worship their ancestors, and driving them into remote wilderness areas was a very cruel punishment for anyone at the time. At that time, the nobles were forced to leave their hometown due to the migration law.
There were old people, women, and children, and many people died on the way. This has also become a rare "black history" of Wu Chenghou. His orders did kill many innocent nobles.
Only those rebels who wanted to overthrow Qin and establish their homeland could understand Wu Chenghou's intentions. Xiang Liang tried every means to make friends with his former friends in Chu, hoping to win over some Chu nobles who were dissatisfied with Qin as his own
However, under the relocation order of Marquis Wu Cheng, no one in ten of the nobles from all over the country survived. Even those who stayed behind lived in anonymity and did not dare to reveal their noble status at all.
The idea of winning over nobles from all over the country and launching rebellion through their influence among the people has been completely eliminated. At the root, the royal family and the great nobles of the Chu State are now in Beidi, Yanmen, Yuyang and other places...
Contact them? Find them first! This makes Xiang Liang so desperate. Could it be that Wu Chenghou had anticipated all this more than ten years ago? Can he really succeed in fighting such an enemy?
Since the road of aristocrats is unavailable, Xiang Liang can only turn his attention to the people, hoping to incite those people who are dissatisfied with Qin to surrender and use their power to complete the restoration of the country... However, this road
It is also a dead end. The Qin State after the transformation of Wu Chenghou is not the Qin State in history that treated the people of the Six Kingdoms as livestock, constantly made them pay taxes, and constantly launched corvees, making the people angry and resentful, and the people could not survive.
country.
Nowadays, the Qin State treats people all over the world equally, taxes are extremely low, and there are almost no large-scale corvee. Even if corvee is occasionally used, it will not tire the people to death. They will even provide subsidies and give children a chance.
Literary, every household's granary is full of food. With such good days, only the devil is willing to follow them to regain the Chu Kingdom! The people of China will choose to endure it until they can't survive.
Today's life is booming. After Wu Chenghou's death, Prime Minister Li Si fully inherited Wu Chenghou's last wish without changing it at all, "light corvee and small taxes, and rest with the people." The quality of life of the people of Qin is getting higher and higher.
, except for the newly conquered South Vietnam and other places, the people in the rest of the areas can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, and all industries are prosperous. Han Fei's newly revised Qin laws further relaxed the restrictions on the people's lives.
People from all over the country can move freely, conduct business exchanges and a series of social activities. Those who live in Chu are not necessarily the original Chu people. There may be Wei people and Qi people who rebel here in the name of General Xiang Yan.
How do people in Wei know who Xiang Yan is? Xiang Liang's rebellion has not progressed over the years, just because of these things, but Xiang Liang has not given up. The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. As long as he is still alive, he must fight for his father.
revenge.
Xiang Ji grew up with such thoughts of revenge. Since he understood the matter, all he could hear was the word revenge. Xiang Liang had realized that there was no hope for revenge in his own era. He
He could only put all his hopes on Xiang Ji. He hoped that this young man could wait until the Qin State was in turmoil, hold high the flag of righteousness, recover the Chu State, and avenge Xiang Yan.
They just waited like this. Xiang Ji had to go out to farm with the others on weekdays. Qin State does not support idle people, and no one can be idle, let alone avoid... Qin State cannot always be peaceful and peaceful, and it can definitely wait for the opportunity.

...
Sitting in the palace, the First Emperor looked at the alchemist in front of him. The alchemist was called Xu Fu and he was from Langya, Qidi. Because of the influence of Marquis Wu Cheng, the First Emperor had never had a good impression of these alchemists who pretended to be gods and ghosts... Before, Zhao Kang
During the expedition against the Yueshi, several alchemists wrote a letter saying that they had received a dream from Marquis Wu Cheng and wanted to help the First Emperor to contact Marquis Wu Cheng. This behavior not only did not make the First Emperor curious, but instead aroused his anger.
The First Emperor thought that these alchemists were insulting his father, so he jailed them and killed their clan. He almost wanted to arrest dozens of alchemists across the country and massacre them, but Han Fei stopped him. Han Fei believed that killing must be a crime.
Otherwise, even the emperor cannot carry out massacres just because he dislikes them. The laws of the Qin State do not say that if you become an alchemist, you will be killed. Such behavior is illegal.
When the emperor hesitated, Han Fei suddenly said, "There once was an alchemist in Mafu called Zuoping." The first emperor gave up his idea and stopped arresting and massacring the alchemist. But at this moment, because of the university's
As a result, hundreds of schools of thought prospered, among which there were many who sympathized with the alchemists and opposed the current political system. Several great Confucian scholars proposed to abolish the current system of prefectures and counties and re-implement the enfeoffment system.
This angered Prime Minister Li Si, who sent them to jail, and Han Fei tried to dissuade them again. Although Han Fei disagreed with their views, he still dissuaded them because the law did not stipulate that those who wrote a letter opposing the policy would be arrested and killed.
Li Si Hanfei, a former staunch supporter of royal power, has now become a staunch supporter of the law. All his actions are to supervise the implementation of the law and ensure that no one can violate it.
Li Si wrote again, asking the emperor to burn all history books except the history books of Qin, and burn all books except farming and medical books... This actually aroused the rage of another person, that is Li Si's fellow junior Zhang Cang.
Zhang Cang is a book lover. People who become devils through reading probably refer to people like him. When he heard that Li Si wanted to burn those books, Zhang Cang directly picked up the pen and wrote a eloquent petition.
The content of the book is to persuade the emperor to follow Li Si's suggestion and burn those books that are not practical. It is best to start with "Ma Fu Shu", and burn the Zhao version of "Ma Fu Shu" first.
When this letter came to the emperor, Ying Zheng was so angry that he directly ordered Zhang Cang to be arrested. Ministers Han Fei, Liu Ji, Xiao He, Zhao Gao, Meng Yi and others wrote the letter, and Zhang Cang's life was saved. Of course,
, the First Emperor did not want to kill Zhang Cang, he just couldn't stand Zhang Cang's provocative behavior and wanted to teach him a lesson. You have to advise me, this is fine, but you can't be yin and yang! You are a Confucian, not a yin and yang school.
!You learned from Xunzi, but you did not learn from Ge Gong!
The one who was most frightened was Li Si. Li Si originally wanted to weaken the influence of the other hundreds of schools by cooking them and leave the Legalist books to reduce the annoying noise in the temple. He did not expect Zhang Cang.
The younger brother would stab him in the back and directly pull Ma Fushu out. Li Si was so frightened that he hid at home for several days after training, not daring to go out for fear of being blamed by the First Emperor.
In the end, of course, the matter ended without any problem. The First Emperor did not burn books, but began to order book repairs. The so-called book repairs meant compiling the world's books, finding all the missing chapters, and erecting stone tablets to preserve these classics. Such behavior was immediately recognized
Scholars from hundreds of schools of thought have written articles one after another, praising the virtues of the current emperor. It is not just the Legalists and Confucian scholars who say that he has the same virtues as the three emperors and has merits greater than the five emperors.
The emperor looked at these compliments and threw them aside with disdain, but he could not hide the joy on his face.
The significance of the existence of hundreds of schools is to drive academic competition so that no one can be complacent and stop exploring. Especially a school like Mohism has disappeared in the long river of history. It is a pity that each school has its own advantages.
, the most rapidly developing among them is the Zajia Mafu School... The Zajia Mafu School has pioneered a "shameless" academic model that "gathers the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought".
No matter what Baijia studies, the Zajia School of Mafu School likes to get involved. In the name of absorbing their academic essence, they carry out blatant plagiarism and then promote it... Baijia deeply hates it, but there is nothing they can do about it.
After all, after people copy it, they have to recreate it, not just copy it for you and write it into your own book... Hundreds of schools delve into their own fields, but the Zajia School of Mafu School delved into their results...
In a short period of time, various schools of thought have achieved a lot. Confucianism has the prototype of the theory of induction of heaven and man. Legalism, under the leadership of Han Fei, has gone a step further, completely abandoning royal power and beginning to move towards the path of legalism.
, the Mohist School came up with more novel and weird things, and even doctors began to actively study diseases and open up the development of the medical field... The current representative of the Zajia Mafu School is called Zhang Liang.
This scholar who didn’t know where he came from is said to be the son of the former Korean Prime Minister Zhang Ping. He was writing books in Qidi and re-annotated the "Ma Fu Shu" with his own ideas. As a result, he was arrested.
He went in, because privately annotating the Ma Fu Shu and disseminating it was a serious crime, which was clearly stipulated in the laws of the Qin State. However, when Han Fei saw the re-annotated Ma Fu Shu, he was immediately shocked and immediately took it away.
Bit was taken from prison to Xianyang.
Han Fei looked at the young man in front of him and really didn't understand why he studied the teacher so thoroughly, and even knew some things more clearly than he did. Han Fei gave the teacher's manuscript to the young man. Han Fei thought that he could
The only person who inherited the mantle of teacher was the young man in front of him. Although he had never met his teacher, Zhang Liang continued to study after getting these manuscripts. Immediately, someone came to the door again, but it was the minister Zhao Gao.
A copy of the conversation between Zhao Kuo and Lu Buwei was given to Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang studied with peace of mind. He had obtained the discussion with Marquis Wu Cheng left by Huang Shi Gong, and then began to study the principles. After studying for many years, Zhang Liang completed the annotation of Ma Fu Shu... He himself also
Unexpectedly, he would be so fascinated. The more he studied, the more he admired Wu Chenghou. More than once, he hugged Ma Fushu and cried bitterly, exclaiming, "No one understands!" Some people said that it was because he had no ability.
When he saw Wu Chenghou in person, he cried. Some people said that he cried because he was impressed by the virtuousness of the monarch.
Zhang Liang began to study in this way. The more he studied, the higher his knowledge became. From the books left by Zhao Kuo, Zhang Liang found countless things, including military, political, literature, astronomy, geography...
He studied one by one. He dare not say that he completely inherited Wu Chenghou, but he has reached the pinnacle of the Zajia Mafu School and became a new generation of academic masters. When the First Emperor summoned him and spoke to him, it is said that the First Emperor was frightened.
A jump.
The First Emperor said to Han Fei privately, "I have never seen a scholar whose words and deeds are so similar to my father's."
Zhang Liang, who had never met Zhao Kuo, became the person who studied him most deeply. The books that Zhao Kuo left behind contain many experiences from two thousand years, including all aspects, which ordinary people cannot see.
, Talented people cannot learn, only a few people can understand and learn. Zhang Liang is undoubtedly like this. The more he studies, the more things he discovers. Sometimes, he feels that Wu Chenghou
He seemed to be sitting in front of him, slowly explaining it to himself.
Therefore, Zhang Liang became the pillar of the Za family. Over the years, the Za family could reach into the pockets of hundreds of schools, and even absorb and summarize their theories, and carry them forward based on the foundation, all due to Zhang Liang's efforts.
At this time, an alchemist named Xu Fu wrote to the First Emperor... The First Emperor didn't pay attention at first. He glanced at it casually. At this glance, the First Emperor couldn't take his eyes away. Xu Fu described three gatherings in the book
On the Immortal Island of Saints, there are three mountains in the sea, called Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou... The people living on them are all immortals. These immortals were human beings in life and became immortals because of their great merits during their lifetime.
Xu Fu even described the situation and geographical environment of Xiandao very clearly in the book, making it feel like he had really seen it before. What surprised Ying Zheng the most was that Xu Fu mentioned in his letter that Marquis Wu Cheng
The great meritorious person is an immortal in Penglai. You can often see him sitting on a dragon chariot, with a hot-tempered sage driving the car, followed by more than a dozen disciples. Next to him sits a female immortal dressed in plain clothes, flying in the air with a yellow dragon as a steed.
.
After reading this letter, the First Emperor couldn't calm down for a long time, so he ordered the alchemist to be called.
