Warm currents flow from the wrist along the meridians, the surging Qi and blood are calmed down, and the deficient Qi and blood are temporarily filled with Qi.
The feeling of blood coming from the mouth at any time disappears, my head is no longer dizzy, and I no longer want to feel nauseous and vomiting.
Lu Buwei nodded to Ying Chengyu and said, "That's enough."
He retracted his wrist, smiled bitterly, and handed the bamboo slips he had been holding tightly to Ying Chengyu.
"I didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly."
Next to him, Li Si lowered his eyelids slightly when he saw that Lu Buwei was handing the bamboo slips with one hand instead of holding them with both hands.
Lu Buwei and the Lord of Chang'an are not like a master and a retainer, so calling Lu Buwei a master is not a loss.
Ying Chengyu put the bamboo slip aside and grabbed Lu Buwei's hand again, with an impatient look on his face.
"Yue'er is going to find a doctor. Uncle Lu, please take your hand. If you don't get treatment quickly at your age, I won't say it will cost you three years to live."
The Yue girl nodded her head slightly, her hair flowing like ripples, and her figure disappeared, but the fragrance on her body has not disappeared.
Lu Buwei pushed away the hand that Ying Chengyu stretched out to help him continue to use his internal strength to stabilize his body, and with a serious look on his face, he pushed the bamboo slip towards Ying Chengyu again.
"Your Majesty, please read it first and then talk after you finish it."
Ying Chengyu didn't pick up the bamboo slip in front of his arm at all.
He raised his eyelids slightly, glared at the stubborn old man in front of him who had watched him grow up, and placed his fingers heavily on the table.
With a "dou" sound, a one-inch-deep hole was poked out of the solid hardwood desk.
Li Si secretly smacked his tongue when he saw this, thinking that his martial arts skills were not much different from those of Ge Nie and Zhao Gao who were protecting His Majesty personally.
"Hand over me honestly and don't force me to use force."
Two equally stubborn people looked at each other. Lu Buwei sighed, with blood remaining on his yellowish teeth, and he honestly stretched out his hand.
Compared with Ying Chengyu, who could fight against the world's top master Yue Nu for a long time without holding a gun in his arms, Lu Buwei's little martial arts skills were simply not worth mentioning.
Rather than being forced to regulate the body by Ying Chengyu, it is better to take the initiative.
Respect the elderly, Ying Chengyu is very professional.
Five fingers were put on Lu Buwei's wrist again, and the Zhongzhengpei and internal strength gained from practicing "Yellow Emperor" were gradually relieved bit by bit.
Going too fast will be counterproductive, and it may directly push Lu Buwei away. Lu Buwei's current physical condition is considered weak and not replenished in the eyes of doctors.
"Retribution or lack of retribution is all a function of psychology. Don't think wildly. If good is really rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil, then why should the Legalists do anything? Li Si?"
Ying Chengxuan thought that Lu Buwei was saying that what he did in Han brought retribution, which was why his heart was damaged today, so he comforted Lu Buwei with gentle words.
With his inner strength, Lu Buwei, who felt like a candle in the wind, was now able to burn stably without the wind, and his vital signs were stable.
Only then did Ying Chengxuan have the mood to talk to Prime Minister Zuo of Qin who had been waiting beside him without any complaints.
The prime minister's uniform Li Si wore was a wide robe with long sleeves. He crossed his hands in front of his forehead and bowed slightly to Ying Chengyu. The two black sleeves covered his face and his facial expression could not be seen.
"Mr. Chang'an is wrong. Human nature is inherently evil, and the Legalists use the art of punishment and naming as a rope to tightly lock human nature. What the Legalists seek is to consolidate monarchy and everything that is conducive to the development of the country. This is the so-called saint. You can strengthen the country, but you can't do it for the sake of law."
Having dealt with Ying Chengxi for so long, extremely smart people like Li Si had already gotten a rough idea of Ying Chengxi's character, and knew that Ying Chengxi and the First Emperor were actually the same kind of people.
I like to hear flattery, and I don't mind having a few such people around me. However, the people they favor must have real talent and learning.
When talking about Legalist theory, which he was best at, Li Si thought about it for a moment and decided to refute it. He was full of ink and showed off his talent.
"Quoted out of context." Ying Chengyu said with a smile: "This sentence should be: the reason why the law loves the people, and the reason why the courtesy is convenient. Therefore, the sage can only strengthen the country, but does not follow the law. He can only benefit the people, but does not follow them. present.
"Shang Jun said that the teachings and rituals are all for the protection of the people and are beneficial to the situation. There is no need to blindly imitate the ancient system. As long as the sage's teachings can strengthen the country, there is no need to follow the original rituals. As long as the rituals are beneficial to the people, there is no need to stick to the old rules. present.
"You only talk about strengthening the country but not benefiting the people, misinterpreting the original intention of Lord Shang. People who don't know it would think that your Legalism is pure utilitarianism, disregarding the lives of the people and completely serving the king."
Li Si put down his two sleeves, his rigid face was full of seriousness, and he nodded solemnly: "Legalism is, as Lord Chang'an said, a pure utilitarian who fully serves the king. It protects the lives of the people with laws and regulations, just because the people belong to the king. genus.
"The sage can strengthen the country, but does not follow the rules. If he can benefit the people, he does not follow the etiquette. If you strengthen the country and benefit the people, you should take the front and the back. The king is in the country, and the country is in the people. This order must not be messed up.”
Among the hundreds of scholars, apart from the Mohist school, there is no school of thought that can achieve great success by speaking out for the people and serving the people.
For example, Confucianism hopes to restore the aristocratic theory of Zhou rites, Legalism values the current theory that specifically serves the king, and Taoism advocates Yao, Shun, and Yu in the hope of restoring the ancient theory of heaven.
Reason 1. The period of the Hundred Schools of Thought was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At this time, those who could read and write were basically aristocrats. Their class was aristocrats, and their natural position was basically aristocratic.
Reason 2: In ancient society, there were royal powers and privileges but no human rights. Even in peacetime, it is difficult for a doctrine to become popular without the nobility. Not to mention that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a time of great competition among heroes, those doctrines that had nothing to do with kings and nobles disappeared without even making a ripple.
Ying Chengyu and Lu Buwei looked at each other, and when Lu Buwei nodded, he knew that Lu Buwei also recognized Li Si.
I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Li Si about the future development of Dharma scholars.
To realize his ideas, he cannot accomplish it by himself even if he is exhausted to death.
With the efforts of many people, he fishes every day without delaying the world's progress along the path he desires.
Whoosh~
A sudden and unexpected strong wind blew into the hall.
Where the wind dispersed, there was a handsome Yue girl with fluttering hair, and a middle-aged man who was held by the Yue girl by the back of his clothes, wearing coarse linen clothes and holding a medical book in his hand.
The middle-aged man's eyes were dull and he was a little confused.
As a doctor supported by Chang'an Junfu, he was memorizing medical books in his room just now.
As soon as I heard the sound of the door, my body felt light, and my feet were lifted off the ground.
The wind whistled in my ears, and I couldn't see the scenery clearly. I could only see them retreating backwards.
"Master."
After landing on his feet, the middle-aged doctor, who had rested for a moment, saw Ying Chenglong in front of him and called out softly while holding a medical book.
Looking back, he glanced at the Yue girl behind him who was loosening his clothes, and then turned to look at Ying Chengyu.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ying Chengyu glanced at Yue Nu, who raised her chin proudly, as if you don't need to praise me.
The Yue girl who handles secret matters for Zhao Ji has always been so efficient.
"There's something wrong with me."
As soon as Lu Buwei opened his mouth, the middle-aged doctor's eyes moved to his face, and his expression changed as soon as he saw it.
"This is heartbreaking!"
He thought to himself that it was no wonder he was in such a hurry, and took out the silver needle he carried with him.
Ying Chengyu gave way to the middle-aged doctor, who asked Lu Buwei to first protect Lu Buwei's heart pulse with a silver needle, and then take the pulse to determine its specific condition.
"Prime Minister Zuo once said that hundreds of schools of thought change with time and circumstances. I wonder if this has changed in Prime Minister Zuo's mind today?"
As Ying Chengyu spoke, he took the bamboo slips at hand and unfolded them gently.
"Unchanged."
Chang'an Jun really values talent and learning.
Li Si felt happy and had a smile on his face.
"As long as it remains unchanged, no matter how the law is changed, Da Qin will rule the country by law. It's just that the law of the past is not the law of today, and the law of peace should not be the same as the law of war. If the left prime minister doesn't mind, he will still be left to the left when the time comes. Help each other."
"I have my wish, but I dare not ask for my ear."
Li Si said with great joy.
He knew that answering these words would mean that he would be labeled as the Chang'an Lord's Mansion and be firmly bound to Ying Chengyu.
This was exactly what he wanted.
Li Si didn't care how Legalism changed.
Whatever the superior wants Legalism to become, Li Si can make Legalism become whatever it is.
Li Si studied Confucianism and taught Dharma, not for the sake of the doctrine itself.
But for himself to stand out, for a position of power.
After receiving a positive reply from Li Si, Ying Chengyu began to carefully read the bamboo slips that Lu Buwei had taken back.
As soon as he saw the name and surname in front of it, he knew that this bamboo slip was something that Lu Buwei had been working on for the past few days.
Those names were definitely not what Uncle Lu asked me to look at. I didn’t even recognize them.
Ying Chengyu opened his eyes in ten rows and moved them directly to the far left, eyes wide open.
[Lu Buwei, how do you feel when your government orders are not implemented? 】
Just looking at this line of words, Ying Chengyu could feel resentment, anger, and hatred.
He recognized that it was written by the First Emperor himself, not by Zhao Gao or Gai Nie.
"Uncle Lu, you have indeed received retribution." Ying Chengqiao raised his head and said seriously.
This retribution does not come from heaven, but from the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty is like this. I have no choice but to go to Xianyang Palace once."
Whenever Lu Buwei moved his mouth or spoke, the silver needles on his face began to tremble wildly.
Looking at his head, it looks like a talking cactus.
"I dont go."
Ying Chengyu shook his head.
The last time he scared Zhao Ji, he used his uncle's hand to beat Zhao Ji and let Zhao Ji return to Yongdi on her own.
Although the First Emperor, an insider and indulgent person, knew the reason, he was still in a bad mood. When he saw that his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes.
At this moment, Ying Chengyu didn't want to go in and scold him.
"Then this..."
The cactus was speechless.
He has been a prime minister for half his life, and he has never encountered a monarch losing his temper on major national affairs.
He had always believed that there was nothing wrong in not giving real power to the First Emperor, and he began to reflect on whether he had suppressed the First Emperor too hard.
The First Emperor read hundreds of books on Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, and Military Studies, but he believed that Legalism was the one that could govern and strengthen a country.
Therefore, as soon as he came to power, he had to restore Shang Yang's rule, which ran counter to Lu Buwei's philosophy of miscellaneous families.
In the case of conflict of ideas, Lu Buwei, who was dissatisfied with the rule of the First Emperor, was dictatorial and insisted on his own way. He was not allowed to implement the Legalist policies promoted by the First Emperor in all likelihood.
This was not because he intentionally suppressed the First Emperor or the royal power, but because he truly believed that this would be detrimental to Qin.
The First Emperor's reply made him vomit blood in anger, because the First Emperor did not consider national affairs at all, but was aimed at him personally.
Lu Buwei understood that this sentence meant - I do not accept any of your political opinions.
"Nothing, nothing."
Ying Chengxuan found pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote at the end of the memorial in front of Lu Buwei.
[Brother Huang, give me some face. 】
He handed it to Li Si and said, "Re-present it to Brother Huang."
"only."
Li Si obeyed the order and bowed his head to Ying Chengyu.
"Chang'an Jun's Mansion does not have such false etiquette." Ying Chengxuan said casually.
A smile broke out on Li Si's face, he raised his head and put down his hands, very obedient.
"only."
He had always saluted like this when he came to Chang'an Jun's Mansion several times before, but Ying Chengyu had never spoken to him.
This time he told him the rules of Chang'an Junfu. Li Si thought this was another manifestation of his integration into Changan Junfu.
Li Si did not think that failure to follow etiquette was a sign of disrespect. This Legalist, who studied Confucianism and practiced law, believed that whoever you serve must follow the rules of that person.
For example, if you are not polite in the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, this is the rule of Ying Chengxiang, and this is a kind of law.
The greatest rule in the world is the law.
The various schools of thought and their masters did not just preach their doctrines with words.
If you observe carefully, you will find that his behavior, behavior and thoughts are all consistent with his own doctrines.
This is how thoughts change people.
"Wait a minute."
Ying Chengyu called to Li Si.
As he approached the door, Li Si, who was holding the memorial, turned back in confusion, but did not salute this time.
"First check to see if the name on this is correct. Uncle Lu has ignored government affairs for ten years, so he may not be able to find a suitable candidate for Han."
Brother Huang is not a petty person, so he shouldn't be angry because of that little thing back then. Is there something wrong with the list?
Lu Buwei immediately became excited when he heard this.
How could Xiu'er question my choice? I searched for three days and two nights!
The cactus trembled violently, and the middle-aged doctor who treated it frowned, and inserted a needle into a key point of Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei was very conscious, but he could no longer control his body and could not move.
"Don't move if your life is at stake!"
Doctors hate patients who don't take their illness seriously. If you don't take it seriously, what are you going to do with a doctor?
"only."
Li Si simply chose the latter in front of his lord, his lord's lord, and unfolded the memorial to read it carefully.
As a close minister and favorite of the First Emperor, and having held a high position in the court for ten years, Li Si was very familiar with these names on the list.
After a moment of burning incense, Li Si closed the memorial and said seriously: "It's not enough for Si to write this list."
I just said the list is correct!
Lu Buwei's eyes moved back and forth.
Ying Chengyu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then you send it over and I'll see how the emperor responds."
"only."
In the evening, the memorial entered Xianyang Palace along with other memorials.
Day.
Li Si knew that Ying Chengyu got up late, so he took the memorial to Chang'an Jun's Mansion at noon.
Ying Chengxuan and Lu Buwei, who was recuperating in the mansion and did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to check in, took a look at the memorial. At the end of the memorial were two large characters written by the First Emperor.
【No! 】
"Hey, I'm so grumpy!"
Ying Cheng didn't want to eat anymore, so he rode out of Chang'an Jun's Mansion and went straight to Xianyang Palace.
