Chapter 12 Small kindness is like great evil, great kindness is like ruthlessness!
Ying Zheng shook his head.
"What emperor is angry?"
“It’s all excuses.”
Qin Luoheng smiled casually.
"These are indeed excuses, but what the First Emperor wants is this excuse. After all, compared to the topic of the assassination of the First Emperor, the kings of the Six Kingdoms starved to death in the house are obviously not worth mentioning."
"The First Emperor is already kind enough."
"If it were other kings, they would have been left with different bodies and heads long ago. How could they tolerate them living for so long?"
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Luoheng silently.
He was not sure whether this was speculated by Qin Luoheng or was found out by accident, but what he was talking about was indeed his own thoughts.
He could not tolerate the kings of the six kingdoms to continue to live!
But even such a simple truth can be seen by Qin Luoheng, a person who has been living in the countryside for many years, that Fusu, who has been living in the temple for a long time, has always advised him to be kind.
It's simply ironic!
Ying Zheng said, "Your words do make sense, but after all, they are a one-man statement. During this period, ministers in the court kept admonishing him and wanted to stop the Guanzhong Dashu."
"There is also the eldest son Fusu."
"Can your insights be beyond them?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"I am just a countryside, and I have no great ideas."
"But as the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Sometimes the choices of high-ranking people are not necessarily correct. If you go too deep into it, you will not be able to see the situation clearly."
"As for the eldest son..."
"Say a very disrespectful word."
"He was stupid after those Confucian scholars."
"Confucianism talks about benevolence. When Fusu saw the death of the citizens in the city, he naturally felt sad. He would definitely plead with the First Emperor, but his so-called 'benevolence' is nothing more than 'fake benevolence and false righteousness'."
"The ancients said: Great benevolence is not kind, great kindness is not favorable."
"The Legalists also say: Small good is like great evil, and great good is like ruthless."
"The Taoist scriptures also say: 'The heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs', 'good deeds without any trace', etc.."
"The so-called compassion for the world and compassion for others is actually all about small benevolence and small righteousness."
"His suggestions can indeed save the people from hunger in the short term, but in the long run, there will be endless troubles. If the nobles of the six countries are not eliminated, the world will be in peace. The former kings of the six countries are still there. As long as the Qin court is weak, the world will be repeated."
"At that time, the war in the world will rekindle, and all the people will suffer."
"The so-called 'benevolence' of the eldest son will only harm others and himself in the end. He will not only harm himself, but also harm the Qin Dynasty, but also harm everyone in the world."
Ying Zheng nodded with his beard stroked.
"It's extreme."
"Everyone understands the truth."
"But if Fusu can see it, he can only see himself."
"If he can wake up and understand the true meaning of good and evil in the world, he can grow into a true 'long son'."
Qin Luoheng nodded seriously.
Then he was stunned.
He seemed to be having a little fun chatting.
The eldest son Fusu, can he talk about?
He also boldly guessed the idea of the First Emperor. If this was spread, no matter the true or false of these words, he would inevitably be beaten torture.
Qin Luoheng smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject.
"Chief, you said just now that you have been to Handan and are with a man named Dan. If I guess correctly, that person is Prince Yan Dan, right?"
"How did you know Prince Yan Dan?"
"Didn't he play with the First Emperor every day at that time?"
Hearing words.
A hint of gloom appeared on Ying Zheng's face, as if he remembered a past that he didn't want to recall. But soon, his face suddenly changed.
"How do you know that Dan belongs to Prince Yan?"
"There are also the First Emperor and him who have been playing companions since childhood. Where did you know this news?"
Ying Zheng's face was faded for the first time.
Because of this news, few people in the outside world know about it.
Not to mention the ministers of the court, even the royal family knows not many.
How did Qin Luoheng know?
Qin Luoheng was stunned.
Isn't this known to everyone?
But soon.
Qin Luoheng reacted.
He knew it was because he had studied "Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin", but at that time, this incident was not widely circulated, and it was related to the First Emperor, so the outside world did not dare to spread it at will.
Qin Luoheng said embarrassedly:
"I wandered around in my early years and heard rumors on the road, because there were few rumors about the First Emperor, so I paid more attention."
Ying Zheng's expression was doubtful.
But I didn't really take it to heart.
His eyes were slightly deeper, and he recalled some past events, sighed in his heart, but said, "I was the follower of the First Emperor back then. When the First Emperor was the host, I also followed him to Handan."
"Qin and Zhao had a bad relationship at that time."
"The Qin State was in power at that time. The Empress Dowager Huayang liked Cheng Jiao and did not like the First Emperor, so the First Emperor lived in Handan extremely hard. At that time, Yan Dan was also a hostage, and the few of them were also in a down-and-out manner, so they got together."
"Afterward, the First Emperor returned to the country and ascended the throne and became king."
"Yan Dan returned to China and became the crown prince."
"Afterward, both sides planned their own policies and met each other. In the 21st year of the Qin King's rule, Prince Dan was killed by King Xi of Yan."
“At this point…”
Ying Zheng sighed and said nothing.
Qin Luoheng comforted:
"Don't be too sad either."
"The world's general trend cannot be stopped by human forces."
"What's more, Prince Dan didn't die at your hands, so don't mind it too much."
"At that time, each of them was their masters and to ensure peace in the country."
"Now the world is settled and everything is in trouble. If Prince Dan saw that the people in Yan are living and working in peace and contentment, he would not say anything more."
"We all live for the sake of being alive!!!"
Ying Zheng sighed with emotion.
“It’s all over.”
"It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
"There are still some things in the court waiting for me to go back and deal with."
After saying that.
Then he was about to get up and leave.
Seeing this, Qin Luoheng hurriedly went to support him.
Then he seemed to remember something and said, "Sir, wait a moment."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
Soon, he came out with a furry thing. He handed over the hand warmer bag sewn from the animal skin and said with a smile: "Sir, it's cold, use this to warm your hands. When the Master was there, I used this to warm his hands every winter, and the effect was OK."
Seeing this animal skin, Ying Zheng was stunned.
Qin Luoheng was afraid that Ying Zheng would misunderstand, so he quickly explained:
“This is my homemade handheld bag.”
"This does not constitute 'token money' (Qin Shi's bribery crime). These animal skins are made of leftover scraps, and the fish bladder is filled with hot water, which is not valuable."
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and took it over.
Get it.
A warm feeling came from the hands.
Qin Luoheng continued:
"The chief official works in government affairs all day long. Now it is cold and it is easy to freeze. With this warm water bag, the chief official should be much easier to handle government affairs. If the water in the fish bladder is cold, you can ask people to change it to hot water again. The hot water bag made of animal skin is more wear-resistant and should be able to last for a long time."
Ying Zheng nodded, said nothing, but a strange look appeared in his eyes.
He is a filial and docile person.
Qin Luoheng followed Ying Zheng, and the two walked out from the small courtyard in the mountains along the mountain road.
