On the way back to the palace, Ying Ji kept frowning.
Ying Zhuo saw Brother Wang's worries and couldn't help but comfort him: "Brother Wang, you take the words of those Chu people too seriously!"
"Even if the Qin Law passed down by Lord Shang really has some shortcomings, we can't change it."
"Do you still expect those Chu people just now to come up with better strategies for governing the country?"
"If they had that ability, they wouldn't have been completely defeated by our Great Qin in the Battle of Danyang."
Ying Ji nodded heavily in agreement.
Shang Yang's great talents made Qin rich and powerful from a small country that was half agricultural and half pastoral, and became a powerful country.
Could it be that the teenage Chu native just now had the talent of Lord Shang?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
However, the shortcomings of Qin Fa that the Chu people said just now are also real.
Even if the Qin State under his rule can guarantee that it will not encounter an invincible opponent, everything in the world is changing. How can Ying Ji guarantee that the Qin State will always be strong?
What if future generations are unfaithful and Qin is weak...
Thinking that once the Qin people at the bottom fought for a long time without success, struggling under the strict Qin laws, and finally cast their cold and desperate eyes on Xianyang... Ying Ji shuddered.
"The king is back, the king is back!" The soldiers at the gate of the palace shouted.
Ying Ji and Ying Zhuo were stunned for a moment. When they looked again, they found that the entrance to the palace was brightly lit.
Queen Mother Xuan stood at the door, staring at the two of them sternly.
Ying Ji hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Queen Mother..."
Empress Dowager Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said nothing. She just waved her hand to indicate that the Qin soldiers gathered around could disperse.
When no one was around, Empress Dowager Xuan warned her sternly: "Ji'er, if you leave the palace next time, you must take your bodyguard with you."
Just now, the soldiers at the palace gate came to report that King Qin and Princess Zhuo had left the palace. Empress Dowager Xuan lost sleep at that time.
Although Queen Mother Xuan also knew that Ying Zhuo was good at martial arts, there should be no problem in protecting Ying Ji...
But it still lifted my heart.
Even if family ties are put aside, the Qin State must not lose Ying Ji at this moment.
Ying Ji had just ascended the throne, and his power was inherently unstable. If another accident caused the Qin State to lose another king in a short period of time, civil strife would probably break out.
Ying Ji nodded respectfully to show that he had been taught, and then went back to rest.
Empress Dowager Xuan's eyes were sharp, and she could tell at a glance that Ying Ji was not in a high mood. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, so she asked: "What? Are you angry after giving birth to your mother?"
Ying Ji shook his head, and after struggling for a moment, he said truthfully: "I just left the palace, and Ying Ji was taught by a stranger and discovered the shortcomings of Qin's law!"
Hearing this, Queen Mother Xuan raised her eyebrows and smiled.
It’s fun for my sister.
What are the disadvantages of Qin’s method?
After Shang Jun's reform, the Qin Dynasty rose in the western frontier, regained lost territory, expanded its territory, and was invincible for decades.
It relies on the methods left by Duke Xiao and Lord Shang to enrich the country and strengthen the army!
What could be the disadvantages?
Although she was disdainful, Empress Dowager Xuan still said patiently: "What are the disadvantages? Tell me about them? What are the strangers like?"
Queen Mother Xuan made up her mind - no matter who the stranger was, he would have to pay the price!
Dare to slander Qin Fa?
What a courage!
The law left by Lord Shang - Chinese people are not allowed to comment on state affairs, this is a serious crime!
Even flattering and flattering the monarch is a crime, let alone criticizing Qin Fa in front of the monarch.
Seeing the confused look on Ying Ji's face in front of him, he obviously had some doubts about Qin Fa... An imperceptible murderous look flashed in the eyes of Queen Mother Xuan!
After Ying Ji finishes speaking, Queen Mother Xuan will send troops to capture the mysterious man!
Ying Ji didn't hide anything and told everything Xiong Wuliang said just now.
Queen Mother Xuan was indifferent at first.
Following Ying Ji's explanation, coupled with some of Ying Ji's own thoughts...
Queen Mother Xuan’s eyebrows also wrinkled!
Of course there are problems with Qin's law, otherwise Lu Buwei would not have implemented a new round of reforms decades later - after that round of reforms, the Qin State laid the foundation for unification.
But now, no one can tell.
However, when Jing Yingji said this now, Empress Dowager Xuan couldn't sit still.
Lord Shang's way of governing the country is very simple. To sum it up, the common people can't survive through severe punishment and heavy taxes. The ways of doing business and studying are blocked. Fighting hard and beheading is the only way for them to improve their situation and keep their families alive. . (See "Book of Shang Jun", Chapter on Weak People)
That's right, in the Qin State, even reading and studying were prohibited! Shang Yang said this in the Book of Shang Jun: If the people can use reading and other means to make tricks, then they will not work hard to farm and fight...
In fact, it makes sense... But this leads to the fact that after Shang Jun, most of the civil servants and political talents were imported from foreign countries...
Zhang Yi, Wei Ran, Fan Ju, Lu Buwei... are all imported talents!
In other words, decapitation and promotion are the only outlet for the Qin people to vent their harsh punishments and the only way to improve their living conditions.
Let's get back to the subject - although Shang Jun did encourage the Qin people to fight, but...
Once Qin encounters an opponent it cannot defeat... after the only way is blocked...
There is no such opponent now, what about in the future? What if there is?
Empress Dowager Xuan couldn't help but shudder!
Blanch!
"Who said this?" Queen Mother Xuan couldn't sit still!
If you can clearly see the shortcomings of Qin's law, even if you can't offer suggestions for improvement, you are at least a good person!
What is this called?
There is a wise man in the wild!
King Qin Ying Ji was startled and slapped his thigh!
"I don't know either! I didn't ask for your name!"
Empress Dowager Xuan was so angry that she stamped her feet and hurriedly called the soldiers in the palace to ask Ying Ji to tell the location of the wine shop where Xiong Wuliang and others were just now.
Later, Queen Mother Xuan warned in a deep voice: "No matter who the young Chu man is, we must invite him back!"
"This is a good talent, and it must be used by our great Qin!"
What happened to the Chu people? Our Qin State is following the path of talent introduction!
Think again about Mi Huai, King Huai of Chu...
Brother, don't blame me for poaching you.
Anyway, you can't use this talent well if you keep it yourself... Why don't you lend it to your sister?
The Qin soldiers broke into Shang Shangfang and searched, but they found nothing.
…
The next morning, Xiong Wuliang woke up leisurely in the post house.
He shook his dizzy head and stretched.
Xiong Wuliang came back early yesterday, so Xiong Wuliang naturally didn't know what happened next, let alone that he was almost dragged in front of Empress Dowager Xuan to ask about politics.
After waiting for an hour at the inn, it turned out that as Zhaoju said last night, there was no news that King Qin had summoned the envoy from Chu.
Xiong Wuliang went to the next door to call Shaohu: "Get the car ready!"
Although the general trend of forming an alliance with Qin, a great enemy, cannot be changed in a short time, Xiong Wuliang does not mind causing some trouble to Qin.
Qin Guo: As expected of you, you are truly my good ally!
"Go to Young Master Zhuang's Mansion!" Xiong Wuliang jumped onto the bronze chariot and ordered Shaohu.
