When people from Zheng's family entered Qin, the news spread back to Qin, and the old Qin people were excited about it. All foreigners who sincerely do good to the old Qin people will receive their courtesy. For a long time, there were many sages from Qin Mu Gong's period.
Recently, since Duke Xiao, most of the important civil and military officials who have been valued in the Qin court are foreign scholars. For Zheng Guo's construction of Zheng Guo Canal, which benefited millions of acres of fertile land throughout Guandong, the old Qin people are naturally grateful.
According to public opinion, the document was handed over to Bi Yuan, who had just been promoted to the governor of Neishi County. Although the Qin State followed the legal system, public opinion could be acted upon. The King of Qin read it and was very pleased.
Bi Yuan, the governor of Neishi County, wrote a letter to appoint the Zheng clan leader to choose a place to settle in the county where Zheng Guoqu can be benefited. All the necessary resettlement requirements for the new residence will be borne by the state government. The Shaofu ordered Zhao Gao to do it personally, so as to ensure that the Zheng clan people can feel at ease.
"Zheng Guo has been concentrating on water control throughout his life, and has seen many people! People like the King of Qin who value meritorious officials will never be seen again in the ages!"
Listening to Li Si speaking softly about the document issued by King Qin, Zheng Guo, who was still staying at the official residence in Xianyang to recuperate, burst into tears and murmured in his mouth over and over again. After so many years of water control, he was treated like this.
"Haha, that's what you deserve from Zheng Guo. After the Zheng Guo Canal is built, maybe hundreds or thousands of years later, the land of Guanzhong will still benefit a lot. Such credit should be passed down to the future."
"When Li Si came, the King of Qin said that in three days, there will be a meeting between the Qin court and the State of Zheng. You must participate in the meeting of the State of Zheng. The six countries of Shandong lack financial resources and it is difficult to control the water. In the State of Qin, the Zhengguo Canal is just the beginning for you.
"
"If Li Si's prediction is correct, at the court meeting in three days' time, you will become the new Datian Order of the Qin State, taking charge of all agricultural affairs and all water conservancy matters in the Qin State... The Shui Family will be proud of you!"
Still wearing an inconspicuous light gray robe, Li Si bowed his hands and bowed to Zheng Guo. For the sake of Zheng Guo's family, Qin Guo's surveillance of Shandong scholars in Qin was much stricter. If there was no dissent, it would be okay.
If someone has different intentions, Luo Sheng will show up without the need for Qin Wangzheng to take action.
This is the way of kings, this is also the way of emperors!
The distance from Xuanqing Palace to the side hall of Xingle Palace is not long. The palace slave in front of the door passed the message and Zhou Qing stepped inside. It was not long after he entered, the sky was still bright, and the same was true in the side hall.
, the young man’s order, Zhao Gao, did not follow.
In the open and bright side hall, King Qin Zhengzheng was sitting alone behind a table. There were drinks on one side of the table, and beside him was a roll that was smooth from being read many times.
's letter.
Zhou Qing was very familiar with those slips. When he returned from Xinzheng, he had read these books himself on the way. Naturally, he clearly understood what they said and what they meant to the political representatives of the King of Qin.
"Xuanqing has met the master!"
He came forward and bowed his hands in a bow, with a slight smile on his face. After three days, King Qin's energy and energy seemed very tired, but his red and phoenix eyes were shining continuously. He was holding a wine cup in one hand and a letter in the other, as if he was intoxicated.
.
"Master is here, sit down!"
Hearing a sudden voice in the side hall, Qin Wangzheng was startled for a moment, and then moved his eyes from the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhou Qing. He couldn't help but smile the same way, put down the wine cup in his hand, and pointed at the slip on the opposite side.
Afterwards, Qin Wangzheng tidied his clothes slightly, carefully placed the bamboo slips in his hands on the desk, far away from the drink, and took a long, soothing breath to pull back the spirit immersed in the slips.
"The master came to Xinzheng this time. Although he failed to invite Han Fei again, Han Fei did give him a book and his mind was aloof. Originally, I thought that Han Fei was burdened by his family and country and was unwilling to help Qin. Now that I think about it, it is ridiculous.
"
"Han Fei's talent is unparalleled, and his talent is unparalleled. His purpose of staying in Xinzheng is not only for his family and country, but also for the expectations shared by all Legalist scholars."
"That is to personally change a country to verify its laws. As a master of legalism, Han Fei does not have this intention. Although the road is difficult, Han Fei is still moving forward!"
I have read the book "Han Feizi" before, but I have never really read all the slips in one go. What's more, these are bamboo slips carved by Han Fei himself, which is of extraordinary significance.
Qin Wangzheng once again placed his hand on the slip of paper that he had just put down on the bill, still a little reluctant to let it go. His words truly spoke from the depths of his heart and were truly the essence of Legalism.
Recalling the scene when he entered Xinzheng a few years ago, he asked if it was willing to create a ninety-nine world with him. Han Fei responded that he was the world of South Korea or the world of Qin.
I thought that Han Han was burdened by his family and country and did not want to join the Qin Dynasty. However, according to what his letter said, this was not the case. From his perspective, he could naturally see clearly the general trend of the Xia Dynasty.
Even so, he still insisted on his own opinion. Legalism is not just empty talk and flowery rhetoric, but a theory that must be verified. This may be another reason why he left Korea.
"Your Majesty, are you reading the book "Indignation"?"
Zhou Qing slowly knelt down behind the table on the other side. On top of the table, there was also a pot of fine wine. He was pouring himself out, and when he heard Qin Wangzheng's sighing words, he seemed to have thought of something.
The only thing that can confirm the heart of King Qin at this moment is this scroll. It is a new work written by Han Fei in the past two years. It seems that it has not been circulated. This is the first time I have seen it. Compared with the previous scrolls, this scroll is word for word.
It's mottled with blood and tears.
"Yes, three days ago, I read the book "Gu Anger" for the first time, and I broke into a cold sweat all over my body. From the book "Gu Anger", I seemed to understand why a hundred years ago, Lord Shang preferred the execution ground to be filled with corpses and blood.
He traveled all over the country and did not leave Qin State far away, hiding from the world!"
"I also seem to understand why Wu Qi fell beside King Chu Mou with arrows inserted all over his body. He also understands why Shen Buhu, who failed in the reform a hundred years ago, committed suicide on the city wall. He also understands why Su Qin, a disciple of Guigu, was assassinated, and why Zhao Wuling
The king will have a disaster in the sand dunes!"
"The words of "Gu Anger" are actually a letter of appeal from all the reformers in the Spring and Autumn Period for hundreds of years. Before the reform, they knew the future path, but even so, they were still willing to implement the reform."
Still couldn't help but grab the bamboo slip in his hand again, and while continuing to read the small characters on the bamboo slip, he slowly responded to Zhou Qing, "Nowadays, the entire Qin State can only say these words to the master."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wangzheng could not help but sigh again. Among the many people he had spoken to before, the sage he respected the most was Lord Shang. Without Lord Shang, there would be no Qin State today.
Duke Xiao and Lord Shang joined hands to strengthen the Qin Dynasty, talked freely with each other, and had a deep affection. The Duke was like a green mountain, and I was like a pines and cypresses. They were like one body with each other. This was one of the fundamental reasons why Qin's laws were so successful.
Without this, Qin’s law cannot be implemented at all!
"There is a saying in "Gu Ang": Capital is bound to win, but power cannot exist. How can a magician be in danger? He can punish those who are guilty of false accusations with public law! He cannot be punished with private swords if he is guilty of false accusations.
!”
"Therefore, those who understand the law and rebel against the Lord will not be killed by the officials, but will be killed by private swords! The five types of reform mentioned by Han Fei are invincible: first, low official rank, second, no party affiliation, third, low status in the government and the public.
Fourth, he lacks the foundation of old friendship, and fifth, he is alienated from the king and his cronies."
"This is why Shang Jun's reform was accomplished. At the beginning of the reform, he led the right concubine, Xiao Gong, and won the support of the Qin clan. In addition, with the help of Jing Jian, Che Ying, and the people from the six kingdoms of Shandong who entered the Qin Dynasty, they overwhelmed Qianlong Du Zhi.
Old gentry, in just twenty years, the Qin State's reform was successful, the Hexi Plateau was recovered, and a strong country began to show its strength."
"It's a pity... Even so, even though Shang Jun died, his method was implemented. Since the Warring States Period, only Shang Jun has been a successful Legalist!"
For the people of Shang Jun, not only the kings of the Qin Dynasty respected him, but also the government and the public admired him a lot. It was so courageous to implement reforms in the Qin Dynasty at that time.
Just as Han Fei said that the five reforms are invincible, the success of Shang Yang's reforms was not only his own choice, but also the choice of the Qin State. With military merit, common people can also be granted the title of marquis, and with farming and war, farmers can also be granted the title.
"What the master said has won the heart of Yingzheng. Over the past few years, the master has repeatedly come up with strange strategies for the Qin Dynasty. Although he is a member of the Taoist Tianzong, but few people see it, and his talents and learning surpass all the scholars of Xia."
"I wonder what the master thinks of the book "Han Feizi"?"
Listening carefully to Zhou Qing's words, King Qin Zheng Wei Ran was overjoyed. Then he poured a glass of wine by himself, raised his hands, and bowed down politely with Zhou Qing opposite him, drinking together. Immediately, a pair of bright red phoenix eyes fell on Zhou Qing.
, pointing with one hand at the "Han Feizi" scattered on the ground beside him, and asked lightly.
