Pre-Qin Dynasty Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Zhuan·The 21st Year of Duke Zhao": "The military ambitions are there: the ancestors had the intention to seize others, and the descendants have to wait for their decline."
What does that mean!
The book of war says that if you want to defeat someone beforehand, you must first seize their will; if you want to defeat someone afterward, you must wait for their exhaustion.
More than 100 officials, including the Three Lords and Nine Ministers, came to look for him, and they started making a fuss.
He cannot be suppressed.
Even if the First Emperor is here, we still have to think about it.
Therefore, he must win the hearts and minds first.
Use your own arrogant momentum to overwhelm the opponent's aggressive approach.
It seems.
Very effective.
Watching the courtiers behave themselves one by one, Ying Cheng picked up his stool and walked into Dalu Mansion.
Following Ying Cheng into Dalu Mansion, there were twenty-eight officials.
enter!
Ying Cheng knelt and sat at the head of the table.
below.
Li Zhan, Chunyu Yue, Zhang Rang, Gong Shuqiu, Yang Hong and others all took their seats.
From the distribution of these seats, we can see a big problem.
Next to Tingwei Li Zhan, nine people were sitting.
There is no one around Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong of Confucianism.
Six people were sitting next to Zhang Rang, Feng Chang Shilang.
Next to Shaofu Gong Shuqiu, there was a person sitting.
Next to the guard general in Taiwei's mansion, nine people were sitting.
Of the remaining two people, one, Chang Shi Ling Gongzi Huai, represents the Prime Minister's Mansion, and one, the Imperial Envoy, Zhongcheng Zuoguang, represents the Yu Shi's Mansion.
If you can't even understand this.
To be clearer, that is.
In Da Qin, the Prime Minister's Palace and the Censor's Palace were transcendent existences.
The only people who can compete with the Legalists are military strategists.
Government affairs and ancestral temple etiquette education, followed by financial expenditures.
The Shaofu has a special status outside of the entire political, legal and military community, but it is not high.
As for Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong, they are at the very back and cannot be ranked high.
The person sitting in this hall at this time represents not an individual, but the entire Da Qin real central group.
If this ratio is enlarged, it will be the pattern of Da Qin!
at the same time.
These people are just pawns.
When it comes to truly deciding whether to implement the New Qin Law in the world, these people have no say.
He won the city, even if he said so, it would not count.
Facing the scene where the entire hall was silent and no one spoke, Ying Cheng was the first to break the deadlock and said with a smile:
"Ahem, I am very fair and easy-going. Standing in Dalu Mansion, everyone can speak freely without any scruples or burdens."
"Ha, you are very easy-going!" Before Ying Cheng could finish his words, Li Zhan sneered.
Ying Cheng smiled and did not continue, but continued:
"In Dalu Mansion, it is considered innocent."
"No matter what kind of remarks are made and what consequences are caused, I, Yingcheng, will be solely responsible for it and have nothing to do with the speaker."
Ying Cheng paused, scanned the faces of each small group, and continued:
"Here, I hope you all understand a truth."
"The establishment of a new Qin law is inevitable and must be changed. As I said at the court meeting before, if it is not changed, the Qin Dynasty will definitely perish."
"The word "Dharma" originally means fair as water, able to distinguish between good and evil. Therefore, the word "Dharma" comes from the word "Water"!
"But no matter it is, Zhou Gong's legal system was to enfeoff, Guan Zhong's reform was to establish nine major and minor government offices, Li Li's reform was to clarify rewards and punishments, Wu Qi's reform was to strengthen the military, and Shang Jun's reform was to establish prefectures and counties to regulate farming and warfare."
"The law is no longer as simple and fair as water, distinguishing good from evil."
"The law is already the policy for governing the country. Governing the country by law will formulate the national policy every word."
"Today's legislation is like establishing a country and formulating national policies."
"Whether Da Qin's plan to strengthen the country can be born in this palace is not something I can do alone in Yingcheng. It requires everyone to work hard for it."
Ying Cheng's voice echoed in the hall for a long time, and there was even a faint echo.
Although the twenty-eight people sitting in the empty hall still had special emotions.
But his thoughts were all pulled back.
"What the Great Law Order says is true!"
Seeing that no one responded, Chunyu Yue, who was sitting at the back, spoke out in agreement.
But as soon as these words came out.
Li Zhan said bluntly with a smile: "Big laws and regulations can be legislated. I, Li Zhan, am not talented, so I am willing to do my best."
"But there is one condition. This legislation is a state matter and no idlers can join it."
These idle people are waiting.
You don’t even need to name them by name.
Chunyu Yue immediately retorted: "This is wrong. The shortcomings of Qin's law lie in the word serious."
"It just so happens that I am not talented, but I have a strategy to eliminate all the shortcomings of Qin's law."
Li Zhan immediately reprimanded: "You are an old man, you have lived till now with your monstrous words and deceived people every day, and you still open and shut your mouth and say that Qin's law is serious."
"Look, look, I just retorted to you, and you look like this." Chunyu Yue sneered:
"Think about how the officials of the Qin Dynasty could be better off if they were in the hands of people like you."
A ‘pop’ sound!
Ying Cheng knew that such a scene would happen and was shocked.
"It's okay to discuss the law, but please don't attack each other verbally!"
Li Zhan and Chun Yuyue, who were quarreling, were really frightened by Jingtangmu and shut up obediently.
Ying Cheng, on the other hand, stood up slowly.
On a silk book, with a stroke of a pen, I wrote three words.
"Dharma and etiquette!"
"Everyone, we only have one topic today, law and etiquette!"
"The legislation of a country is nothing more than these two words."
"Everyone can speak freely and discuss this issue clearly. Today is the end. If the discussion is not clear, let's discuss it until it is clear."
After saying that, Ying Cheng returned to his seat and glanced at everyone.
I saw everyone was deep in thought, but no one answered!
It really hurts!
Regarding the establishment of the Qin Law, although the Ten Outlines of the Qin Law were used as the basic outline.
But simply supplementing the Ten Principles of Qin Law will not solve the problem.
The national policy of farming and war is just one of the shortcomings of the Qin law that is out of date.
And he believes that the most important thing is to clearly understand the core issue of legislation, "law and etiquette"!
That is, a core principle that must be followed in legislation.
especially.
This is a core principle that can be debated endlessly.
so.
It is necessary to combine the current situation of Daqin to carry out core principles suitable for the current situation.
In simpler words.
Where should the law stop and where should the rituals stop?
Because once the legislation is implemented.
The entire Qin Dynasty, the entire world, will be decided by the twenty or thirty heads here, plus at most the twenty or thirty heads in the court, to determine the behavioral and moral standards of tens of millions of people.
"In every class, where is the law and where is the etiquette."
"What use are you and I here to legislate for the Qin Dynasty? If we do it hastily, we should abandon it like worn-out shoes. It would be better not to establish it at all."
"Since it is necessary to establish, then we must establish a Qin law that will be famous throughout the ages and leave a name in history. It will be a canon for the world and will be imitated by all generations."
Ying Cheng said calmly.
below.
Everyone was still meditating.
After hearing this, his expression gradually became serious.
He stared at Ying Cheng with a serious face and the three words behind Ying Cheng in great shock.
as if.
There is a mountain that is always there, and they also bear it.
