Two hundred and fifty seventh chapter king of the world
It has been some time since Lu Buwei left Xianyang and moved into Wenxin Academy.
If it were like in the past, before the Qin Dynasty held the ceremony, every morning, the visitor's carriage from the Xiangbang Mansion would be loaded with documents and drive into the Marquis Wenxin Courtyard by the pool of the Academy. In the afternoon, the documents that Lu Buwei had approved would come back.
Then it will be transported back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then distributed to various government offices for implementation according to the instructions of the Prime Minister's Mansion Director Shi.
In the evening, all the documents were collected and sent to the royal city for the King of Qin to read. The cycle continued again and again. Although Lu Buwei was not sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, all official affairs were running in an orderly manner.
However, since a few months ago, in the Dazheng Palace of Yongcheng, the King of Qin officially took power under the witness of the Qin courtiers, everything began to change, and Wen Xinhou began to stop attending the morning court.
Even the number of times he entered Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, and Xingle Palace were all rare, and Wen Xinhou was rarely seen. Such a scene made the ministers extremely surprised. Wen Xinhou, who was diligent in working for the country, suddenly became like this
As and why?
Many people have speculated, but no one has spoken out. Since King Qin came to the throne nearly ten years ago, Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei has been regent and has exclusive power as regent. This is a taboo for kings. Now that King Qin is in power, all the changes make sense.
Moreover, the rise of Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, was also expected by the officials. After all, since King Zhuang Xiang, the Yingqin clan in the entire Qin court has declined. Above the court, the only ones who can evenly compete are the Chu foreign relatives and Wen Xinhou.
.
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, is undoubtedly the most outstanding person among the foreign relatives of Chu. As the months passed, discussions between the government and the public were gradually taking place, but state affairs were still turning between the wheels. Lu Buwei, the Wenxin Hou, still buried his head in the palace, and the Prime Minister's Office, which opened the government and managed the government, gradually
The land is deserted.
Entering the land of Weinan, Meng Tian and Li Xin were ordered to wait outside. Qin Wangzheng, Guigu Gainei, Zhou Qing and others rode into the area of Wenxin Academy. They saw merchants gathered everywhere and the accents of the Guandong countries were endless.
The willow forest area between Lanchi and Weishui is where Wenxin Academy is located. It covers an area of ten miles, which is very vast. Otherwise, it cannot accommodate three thousand guests. After all, Wenxin Hou could threaten to surpass the number of guests.
The king of Xinling, Wei Wuji.
The outer area of Wenxin Academy has its own commercial area, with restaurants rising from the ground. The owners of the buildings have different reasons and styles, and each one is full of the cultural customs of the country where it is located.
"Since Duke Xiao, I am afraid that only Qin can see such a scene."
"Xuanqing once had a look at the collection of books in the palace. In the past, Duke Xiao sent a request for talents to all the countries in Shandong. When Lord Shang heard about it, he sighed and said: Duke Qin has a broad mind, but the people of Qin are too small to rule the world!"
"Now the Qin State has gone through six dynasties and seven kings, dominating all the Xia, and a great empire is just around the corner!"
The Ying Qin clan has always lived in the western border area. When King Ping moved eastward, it was convenient for him to acquire the land west of Hexi and sit in Guanzhong. However, he was still oppressed by Wei again and again.
Even so, Qin is still a big country far away from the Central Plains. Although it is vast, in terms of customs, culture, and civilization, from foundation to form, it is far inferior to the countries in Shandong. This is not only the view of people from the countries in Shandong.
This is also the view of the old Qin people.
A hundred years ago, when King Shang carried out his reform, the foundation of the rule of law was that the country had no customs, the civil affairs were heavy, farming and war were the basis, and there were no distractions! With such a policy, although the Qin State was strong, its civilized elegance was not obvious, so it was still dominated by Guandong for hundreds of years.
The countries are called the countries of tigers and wolves, and are no longer virtuous countries.
Everything in the reform was for the purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army. The so-called etiquette of poems and books, the establishment of schools and writing of books were strictly controlled. The country of farming and war forged the iron-blooded army of the Qin Dynasty a hundred years ago. It must be conquered in battle and captured in attack.
The rule of law by the Lord Shang not only prohibited all the magnanimous actions of the old Qin, but also prevented the flashy customs of the Guandong countries from intruding on the Qin people! Only in this way, by the time of King Qin Zhao, the Qin State had expanded into a large country with five square miles. , however, various civilizations are still quite sparse, and not a single major civilized event in the world has happened in the Qin State.
On the contrary, the countries in Guandong are experiencing great civilization, prosperity, and vitality. However, in the eyes of the old Qin people, everything is of no use, and they can neither obtain titles nor be full.
But among all these, there is one thing that is appreciated by talented people from all the countries in Guandong, that is, within the Qin court, foreign ministers can hold high positions by virtue of their ability, whether it is Lord Shang at the beginning, or later Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Mengchang Lord, Sima Cuo, Huayang Jun, Yangquan Jun, Fan Ju, Wei Ran, Cai Ze, Lu Buwei...
This kind of power and position is impossible for any of the Kanto countries. The Kanto countries adhere to the patriarchal system, and it is difficult for non-royal nobles to achieve the supreme status. Even if they achieve the supreme status, they will soon fall.
The Order of Seeking Talents written by Duke Xiao has been hanging high in the Seeking Talents Hall in Xianyang City. For a half-agricultural and half-herding tribe that has lived in the western border for hundreds of years, once it rises, it can be so ambitious and ambitious. It cannot but be said that it is unusual in the world.
Throughout the centuries of the Qin Dynasty's political affairs, the government and the public have never felt anything unusual, let alone unwarranted fear and suspicion. Although the old Qin people sometimes cursed foreign officials for a while because they were dissatisfied with something or someone, it never led to suspicion. trend.
This is the State of Qin, a place where the world's outstanding talents cannot let go of their ambitions.
"Kuang princes, everything will change in one day!"
"But it is difficult to govern the world. A few years ago, Wen Xin was waiting for my words, and he wanted to build a school in Qin to open up freedom of speech and private education to Qin people. I also agreed."
"The State of Qin is located in the western border. Although its territory is vast now, its core area is still in Guanzhong, and its civilization is not as great as that of other countries in Shandong. For hundreds of years, hundreds of schools of thought have been enemies of Qin. I naturally know the reason, but they It’s getting worse!”
Regarding Zhou Qing's words, King Qin nodded in agreement and quite agreed. He rode his horse on the broad street outside the Wenxin Academy. It was just after entering the palace. Everything was cheerful and the bustling scene did not weaken Xianyang in the slightest.
He spoke loudly and sighed constantly, and it was naturally good to establish a school and a private school. Wang Wan, who had already gone to Shu County to implement the master's plan, also wrote a letter to make the people of Qin truly understand the legal system and the style of Qin.
Hundreds of schools are enemies of Qin. One reason is that hundreds of years ago, the Qin state was barren and turbulent. The people were like wild beasts and could not be taught. Except for Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and other talented people who left traces, the other hundreds of schools had no trace. Down.
In addition, since Shang Jun's reform a hundred years ago, he has strictly controlled the Hundred Schools and followed the Legalist way. The other schools of thought have no way to survive, especially the suppression of the knight-errants, which makes the Hundred Schools jealous.
In this way, in the Qin State, no one of the hundreds of scholars was born, whether it was the famous Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, or the military strategist, the famous strategist, the Yi family, the Yin Yang family, the Ji Ran family, the farmer family, the medical family, the Shui family , alchemist, Kanyu family, state strategist, Gong family, Le family and so on, there are countless others!
If there was a time of great strife, the Qin king's government would not care about it. But now, if there is no such time as a time of great strife, something else should be added to the rule of law in Qin. This is discussed in an article written by Han Fei
.
"It is naturally good to establish a school and a private school. Of course, everything must be developed within a controllable range. Although the school style in the Kanto countries is strong, especially the Jixia School, however, looking at the courtiers of Qi State for hundreds of years
"There are very few people who come out of Jixia Academy."
"Even the Little Sage Village is only a place for Confucian scholarship, and very few people enter the court as officials. The words of "Five Worms" are still vivid in my mind: Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates the ban with martial arts!"
Approaching the gate of Wenxin Academy, it is said to be in front of the gate. In fact, there is no gate. It is just an entrance like an archway. There are several soldiers holding spears standing on both sides. Even so, they don't pay much attention to the people entering and exiting.
, come and go at will, whether traveling scholars or merchants and common people.
Once again responding to King Qin's political words, the three of them dismounted from their horses and handed it to the accompanying envoy. Without hesitation, they entered the academy together. As soon as they saw it, they saw scholars in brocade robes holding papers in their hands.
Classical books come and go in a hurry, and although there are some books on bamboo slips, they don't seem to be many.
"Hahaha, Wen Xinhou is indeed a generous person. As far as I know, the books sold by the master are worth a lot of money. Each book is worth dozens or hundreds of gold."
"And in the Wenxin Academy, there are so many paper books, so many scholars, and Wenxinhou has three thousand diners. Sure enough, he just doesn't know if there are any enemies of Qin among these diners!"
The King of Qin was already quite unhappy with the practice of retainers. In the past ten years, Wen Xinhou and his lineage had monopolized important official positions in the Qin court, relying on their retainers. Not long ago, Changxin Hou Lao Ai relied on his retainers to provide
It caused a lot of trouble for myself.
He whispered casually and walked into the Wenxin Academy. Compared to the noise outside, the environment here seemed very solemn, and no one around noticed the arrival of Zhou Qing and the others.
The swaying willow forest and the blue lake divide the academy around the Orchid Pond into five sections. Along the road, there are: Mingfa Pavilion, Liulun Pavilion, Eight Views Pavilion, Twelve Seasons Pavilion, and Tianzhe Hall.
.
Each area is a large courtyard, with green pools swirling around the hills and willow trees. It is pleasing to the eye and quiet everywhere. It is actually more pleasant than the Xianyang Royal City. It is obvious that the original design was impressive.
“But it’s a good place to go. Wen Xinhou knows how to enjoy it!”
Qin Wangzheng was admiring as he walked. There was no big change in his face like a jade. After walking for a week, he was just in the outer area. There were already hundreds or even thousands of scholars inside. They all had their own discussions and discussions.
.
"Looking at its name, the origin of the area should be based on the index of "Lu Shi Chun Qiu"."
Wearing a light gray splendid robe, holding a long sword, and with silky hair hanging down his shoulders, Guigu Gainei also gave a soft praise after looking around. As the regent of the Qin State for more than ten years, Lu Buwei, the Wenxin Hou, naturally has his own uniqueness.
at.
While talking, I came to a courtyard on the southernmost bank of Orchid Pond. In front of a three-foot-long stone square, I faced a large white jade stele with three large copper characters inlaid in the center - Tianzhe Hall. Entering the stone square, I could hear the noise in the distance.
It came from the courtyard deep in the willow forest. The three of them looked interested and quickened their steps to follow the sound.
Sure enough, we saw a colorful crowd in the natural valley in front of a wooden building. Qin Wangzheng and three others stood outside, scanning everything with their shining eyes. On the high platform of the crowd surrounded by hundreds of people, a familiar figure stood on it.
"Look, Tsunade-kun has spoken!"
Qin Wangzheng was very interested. He glanced at Guigu Gainei and Zhou Qing from left to right, and put his hands behind his back. He didn't expect that today would be a good time to meet Lord Gangcheng, Cai Ze, talking inside.
Thinking of the relationship between Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze and Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, there seems to be nothing to think about.
