"The State of Qi has used the Taoist Huang Lao as the method of governing the country since the time of the Queen. It seems normal for King Jian of Qi to behave like this!" Yao Jia thought about it again and again, but never understood why King Jian of Qi behaved like this when he was the King of Qi.
Ruined.
In the end, everything can only be attributed to the Taoist technique of inaction in governing the country.
Li Si frowned and looked at Yao Jia, who told you that Taoism's inaction is a waste of time?
But if you think about Yao Jia's background, you will understand that he has not been able to access the core of Taoist scriptures.
Judging from the situation of Taoist masters that Li Si has come into contact with in Qin over the years, the so-called inaction does not mean inaction or inability to do anything.
The true Taoist master is Wuwei:
First, when doing business, personal selfish ambitions should not be mixed with justice, and personal desires should not be linked to legitimate means. This means that people should not do things for the sake of public service, pretend to be public for private purposes, and should not violate social laws.
Second, we should act in accordance with the law and use various social resources to achieve merit. Everything must follow the trend of nature and do not allow subjective will to distort nature. This means that people must act in accordance with the laws of nature and society, and
Examples such as using a boat when encountering water are cited to illustrate that man-made things should conform to nature and follow nature's example.
Third, the saint is not ashamed of his humble background, but is only afraid that the Tao will not be implemented; he is not worried about the short life, but is only worried about the poverty of the people.
This is what Laozi said, "It is said that his selfish ambitions are not righteous, he is greedy and does not follow the right skills, he acts according to reason, he performs meritorious deeds based on his talents, he follows the trend of nature, he cannot be tolerated due to twists and turns, and he does not cut down his body when he succeeds.
It is like using a boat for water, a boat for sand, a raft for mud, a tree for mountains, and a mountain for summer and winter. Because the height is a mountain and the bottom is a pond, it is not my doing."
"A sage is not ashamed of his lowly body and the inability to practice evil ways. He is not worried about his short life or the poverty of his people. Therefore, he is always empty and inactive. His views are simple and simple, and he does not mix with other things."
If the Taoist theory of Wuwei and Huang-Lao is really like what ordinary people understand as chickens and dogs that hear each other but never interact with each other until old age and death, then how can we explain the development of Qi State in the past forty years, which can turn the entire Qi State into the richest in the world?
A prosperous country.
If there is really no action and nothing to do, how could the king and queen choose to adopt Huang Lao's learning as Qi's national policy?
Therefore, there must be another reason for Qi Wangjian's failure.
However, Li Si couldn't think of the reason. Maybe it was because King Jian of Qi had a weak personality and was afraid of Qin's strength. He chose to muddle along in the face of the general trend.
"At least we completed this mission perfectly!" Li Si didn't even think of mentioning anything else about Yao Jia. After all, he was really unfamiliar with him!
Especially since this guy has been encouraging him to kill his senior brother Han Fei!
But are you a fool?
Han Feina is his dearest senior brother!
More importantly, Han Fei is one of the few known celestial beings since Fangcheng set sail!
If he was not sick, he would have provoked an immortal who could not be killed and would still live a long time.
If you fail to kill Han Fei, then you will be the one to die. If you are not careful, you will still be buried in Han Fei's grave!
"Although what we see is that King Qi's construction is in ruins, we still need someone to stay and monitor Qi's movements just in case. In the future, when our country Qin destroys Qi, we will also need someone who can coordinate internally and externally. Master Yao will stay in Linzi."
!" Li Si thought for a while and decided to leave Yao Jia in Qi.
Stay away from Xianyang. After two or three years, the Xianyang ghosts will still remember who you are, Yao Jia, and they will avoid going back to Xianyang and causing trouble for themselves.
"Ah?" Yao Jia didn't expect why Li Si suddenly changed his face.
Naturally, he also knew what would happen after he left Xianyang.
At best, he was an intermediary placed in the Qi State, and was the highest administrator of the Qin Dynasty in Qi. But at worst, he was far away from the center and was exiled. He was promoted openly and secretly.
The most important thing is that he is not the highest military and political officer in charge of the three counties like Xiao Xu back then, and is always concerned about the trends in Xianyang.
I don’t want to be sent to Xiaoxu in the far north by a feudal lord, with orders to dig for gold, always filling the treasury, and always being watched by Xianyang.
In this Qi State, which is also very wealthy but has never been taken seriously by the Qin State, will anyone in Xianyang remember who he is in less than three months?
"What, you have an opinion? If you have an opinion, just raise it!" Li Si asked, looking at Yao Jia indifferently.
"No!" Yao Jia looked at Li Si's stern eyes and was finally defeated.
The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, and he now has no ability to challenge Li Si.
First of all, he was the chief envoy of this mission, and he was the deputy envoy who made up the number; secondly, Li Si was also a Tingwei, one of the nine ministers of the Qin State; and finally, Li Si was a close associate who had joined the King of Qin's staff when the King of Qin was dormant.
Challenging Li Si is tantamount to destroying your own future, and you don't even know how to die.
People can see the King of Qin at any time, but since I am not the king, I am basically not qualified to enter the palace to see him.
If you want to kill yourself, there are no less than a thousand ways!
"Don't underestimate the status of the ambassador to Qi. Take a look at General Qiangxian under Zhisu Neishi. He is not the same as our chariot envoy to the Western Regions of Da Qin. He was promoted so quickly that he has already become the chief official of a county in just a few years.
, and it is still being promoted!" Li Si continued to comfort him.
Let’s draw a big picture, as a high-ranking official of Jiuqing, he has a clean family!
Yao Jia looked ugly and felt as if he had eaten a dead mouse. Can Qi State compare with the Western Regions?
Just Qiangxian...
Well, he admitted that he was envious. He was promoted from a school captain for several years to a chariot envoy stationed in the Western Regions, then counselor of Dunhuang, chief historian of Dunhuang, governor of Dunhuang County, governor of Dunhuang, Wuwei County, and general of Qin Dynasty stationed in Anxi, the Western Regions.
…
But……
That's because Qiangxuan is operating in the Western Region. Every three days, he presents some things that the Qin Dynasty has never seen before, like offering treasures, such as luminous pearls as big as millstones, and weird fruits and vegetables. The most outrageous thing is that they are given today.
He got a BMW, saying it was the best BMW caught in the Western Regions. The next day he said that the previous BMW was no longer good, and he got a new one that was more perfect than the previous one.
Just like this, it is difficult for Xianyang to forget the Qiangxian, not to mention that the Shandan Military Horse Farm is also under their control. The most scarce war horses in Da Qin have become cabbage prices there.
And what can he have in Qi that Xianyang doesn't have? Baskets of rotten fish and shrimps caught in the East China Sea? When they are sent to Xianyang, they will really be rotten fish and shrimps.
"Since there is no objection, then the matter is settled!" Li Si also knew the reason, but he didn't want to give Yao Jia any face.
After all, Yao Jia was not on the big list for this mission. He was recommended by Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, his chief officials whom Yao Jia had passed over.
I'm afraid Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were also unhappy with this guy who made his own decisions, so they thought of it as a favor to the two of them and to help them get married in the future.
