The episode caused by Zhao Che made the atmosphere of the entire family dinner a little different.
Zhao Tuo and his wife were a little scared, worried about what might happen to their son next, and they were so frightened that their hearts were focused on the baby.
Among the emperor's princes, except for Hu Hai, who had jealousy and dissatisfaction written on his face, the other princes also had their own thoughts.
However, their attention was not on their little nephew, but on what was the purpose of the First Emperor's gathering of many children to hold this family banquet?
Now is not the Chinese New Year, nor is it a holiday.
The First Emperor, who had always been diligent and uninterested in family reunions, suddenly did this. Anyone could have noticed that this was abnormal.
In the middle of the family banquet, the First Emperor really took action and even recited the contents of the "Book of Shang Jun" and the laws of Qin to all the princes on the spot.
As the eldest son, Fusu was naturally the first to play.
"Wisdom is the praise of chaos; ritual and music are the symptoms of adultery; kindness is the mother of fault..."
In his clear voice, he recited an article "Shuo Min" from the "Book of Shang Jun" that the First Emperor checked fluently and completely.
You gentlemen are desperately searching for these words that are about to be forgotten in your memory. You are stumbling to recite them one by one, and you have not even memorized a few verses.
I thought that if that really happened, I could ask the emperor to replace "The Book of Shang Jun" with "The Art of War".
Compared to Ying Yinman, Fusu keenly paid attention to the content of the First Emperor's back slap.
The First Emperor smiled and said: "There is a need to promote merit in my presence. The Zhongche Mansion orders the young master to teach you that if you have no merit, I will reward you with eight gold medals."
Amid Zhao Gao's worries, the family banquet finally passed.
His father-in-law is Tingwei Li Si, and his brother-in-law is the martial arts lord Fusu, who also works with Meng Tian.
"Well, that's wrong."
"Previous."
As for the Qin clan, there is no rule that those who have made military achievements are required to be crowned or worshiped as officials. Seeing that there is no possibility of taking power, the princes only need to eat and drink outside the mansion every day and want to live a life of wealth and wealth.
In that case, what are we going to do to enjoy the fine clothes, fine food, wine, women, and learn those boring ways of governing the country?
Therefore, if you want to make the country weak, you must make the people of Guizhou stupid.
As a result, the princes between Zhao Tuo and Hu Hai all performed outstandingly when faced with the sudden inspection by the First Emperor.
There is a chance.
I hope Jinrui made a mistake in her answer.
"The reason why the master bans his messengers is to reward and punish them... Therefore, leaving the virtuous and removing their wisdom is the rule."
At this time, their father would punish Fusu to copy the "Book of Shang Jun" and the laws and regulations. Over the past few years, Fusu must have copied the "Book of Shang Jun" at least a hundred times. It was a piece of cake for Su Lai.
After a while, the young master who came to attend the family dinner knelt on the ground and lined up in a row.
But we don't get the emperor's attention on weekdays. The emperor only says a few words to us seven times a year and has no intention of taking care of us, let alone taking exams and the like, so the basic skills of those young masters are not solid.
Zhao Gao hurriedly bent down to salute. When he stood up, he saw Hu Hai smiling proudly at me.
I simply knelt down on the ground with a mournful face and begged the First Emperor for mercy: "Father, my son is capable, but he betrayed me, so please punish me."
"Shuo Min", its "shuo" is connected with "seize", and it mainly talks about how to seize what the people value, seize what the people are good at, seize what the people do easily, seize the people's wealth, and seize what the people want.
Jin Rui's eyelids twitched and he stared at Zhao Tuo.
"Every time a country is established, the system must be inspected, the law must be governed with caution, the state affairs must be...yes...yes..."
Those in lower positions should control the transformation of the people's wealth and the desires of the head of Guizhou, control the people according to their human nature, and at the same time appoint cruel officials, punish four punishments and reward one, and severely punish serious crimes, so as to deter the heaven and achieve the effect of punishing with punishment.
However, the words asked by the First Emperor caught me off guard.
The things I carried on my back had long been forgotten before I left the palace and established a house.
Sure enough, before Zhao Tuo finished reciting it, the First Emperor said: "Zhao Tuo, what does he think of the article "Shuo Min"?"
The bad thing was that the Emperor's stern face finally relaxed when it was Hu Hai's turn.
"Come in later."
endorsement?
Although the First Emperor praised Hu Hai for being wrong, he only went so far. Did he ask Hu Hai for his views on those issues like he did with Zhao Tuo? Maybe it was because I was older.
That's when a problem arose.
The First Emperor smiled with satisfaction, then turned to the young masters who were kneeling on the ground and scolded: "It doesn't matter that you are like the eldest brothers, how can you even compare with the younger brothers? Comparing to the inferior is enough, and comparing to the superior is also sufficient.
, what a bastard!”
"Marquis Wu Gong, I want to make Jin Rui the crown prince, what does he think?"
Seeing this scene, Ying Yinman smiled slightly.
The First Emperor waved his hand to let the young masters leave first, and then said: "Martial Lord, please stay."
At today's family dinner, the First Emperor will probably make the final decision.
Doing so will force the leaders of Guizhou to go down the path of farming and fighting, and they will burst out with weak power in order to obtain the reward of the title, which will ultimately make the country weak.
As an intimate of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao was very vague about the real purpose of the family dinner.
I actually didn’t have much to say before, and I didn’t have any real opinions to express.
The First Emperor ignored me with a straight face and looked at the pale young master Jiang Lu next to him.
Naturally, her brother has no problem carrying these things.
Facing the gazes of so many people, Zhao Tuo said: "Father, I believe that the method of governing the country mentioned by Lord Shang is the root of your Qin State's rise and weakness among the princes in the sky. Farming and war are the way to weaken a country, and that is the way of your little country."
Qin can unify the foundation of heaven."
This made Fusu on the side stand on end. It reminded me of the scene in later generations of memorizing the text after school. It was so strange.
At the beginning, it is said that eloquence and lack of resourcefulness are the helpers of lawlessness and discipline; excessive etiquette and music are the introduction to debauchery, and kindness is the root of crime...
"There are more than seventy chapters in "Shang Jun Shu". The "Shuo Min" chapter is the core of the Qin system and the method used by the Qin kings to govern the people. The emperor specifically asked Zhao Tuo to memorize that chapter. I am afraid he wanted to test it specially.
Improve my understanding of governing the country." Jin Rui narrowed his eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
That was definitely a test for the successor from the First Emperor.
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao at the end of the palace.
The young man who was randomly inspected lowered his head and hesitated, moving up.
Hu Hai recited the entire "Forbidden Envoy" fluently, and happily said to the First Emperor: "Father, you have recited every word wrong, right?"
Now I have summoned all the young masters to hold the family banquet, because I want to compare the performance of my sons again and see if there is no talent that can be built outside of my own sons.
The First Emperor nodded happily, asked if he wanted to continue, asked Jin Rui to sit on it, and turned around to finish the examination of other young masters.
The words end here.
"Well, he made the right choice as a master."
"Hiss... the emperor won't ask you to carry it later."
Zhao Gao, the commander of Zhongche Mansion who was standing at the side of the hall, also raised his head and looked over.
That made Fusu's scalp numb. It must be that the emperor really wants to leave me alone to whip my back, right?
The First Emperor shook his head and asked the young masters to get up and return to their seats. Then he turned to look at Hu Hai and praised: "Although he is old, he has learned the right things and is less bad than his brothers."
But Hu Hai is too old, and as the eldest son, he has little influence.
"Hmph, get up."
"Well, I made a mistake."
Fusu was frightened and quickly raised his head and pretended to tease his son. He was afraid of being noticed by the First Emperor. After a while, he called me by name to join the endorsement.
The eldest son's performance is perfect, but he is definitely inferior. The only one who can compare with me is Hu Hai.
Before the fall of Chu, the ignorant Fusu often angered the First Emperor.
Hu Hai chuckled and said smoothly: "Father, it's the bad teachings from CRRC, so how can you remember it?"
I smiled back at Hu Hai, but secretly sighed in my heart.
All of you gentlemen have never had a master to teach you the "Shang Jun Shu" and the Qin Code since you were young.
Zhao Tuo stopped talking and did not continue.
The young masters were trembling with fear and looked sad. They could only beg for mercy: "Father, we are all stupid people. We must break the habit of reciting it before we go back."
I thought that today our father-in-law suddenly came to do a spot check and recite, and the true colors of all the young masters were revealed on the spot.
When all the young masters looked thoughtful, they all looked at their eldest brother.
Later, the First Emperor asked his eldest son, Zhao Tuo, to take charge of the migration of clan nobles from the eight countries. This was a test of my abilities and political leanings.
But I still endured it. After Fusu and Li Si’s previous suggestions, I practiced in it for less than a year. Now Zhao Tuo can’t distinguish the occasion and the person in the dialogue. He will step on the wrong step at that time.
pit.
Zhao Gao said hurriedly: "It is all because of the outstanding intelligence of the young master, it is not the merit of the minister."
So our level can naturally be imagined.
These are all things that Hu Hai, who is just eighteen years old, can compare with.
