Ying Zheng said in an orderly manner: "Looking at the Zhou Kingdom ten years ago, what is needed is a strong country. It is easy to use the Legalists to impose severe punishments, adhere to the Mohist School as a supplement, and use strategists as envoys to lobby other countries. After the countries are destroyed, , it is necessary to take Legalism as the core and Confucianism as the supplement. After becoming powerful, they exert kindness and pacify the four directions. But after the chaos in the world, the people are withered and the farmland is barren. It is necessary to recuperate and rest with the people with Huang Lao in power... "
The emperor was noncommittal: "You can see very far, but things in the world are unpredictable. I don't know whether Confucianism can be used to appease the four parties, and whether Huang Lao can be used to restore people's livelihood is also unknown. Things."
"But I used Legalism to strengthen the country and make my great Zhou stand at the top of all other countries. This has indeed been achieved. If this is the case, why should I rashly change my strategy of governing the country and follow a path with unknown results?"
Ying Zheng: Happy.
The emperor was displeased: "Why are you laughing?!"
Ying Zheng then suppressed the slightly mocking smile on his face and asked seriously: "Do you need me to refute this issue?"
The emperor said coldly: "Speak!"
Ying Zheng then said with a strange mockery: "I heard that the ritual systems of the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou were not the same, but they successively became kings in the world, before and after the Spring and Autumn Period. The five powerful countries have different legal systems, but they can dominate the princes. Therefore, smart people can create laws, but stupid people can only stick to the laws, capable people change the system, and incompetent people can only be bound by the system...1"
A certain clan member who was kneeling at the bottom couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. The emperor glanced at him and stopped immediately, lowering his eyes in silence.
The emperor sneered: "This is the edict I issued to the people of Zhou after I decided to reform. You have read it thoroughly."
Ying Zheng lowered his head slightly, with a humble expression: "It's not bad, it's not bad."
He also said: "When you resolutely changed the law, you used this rhetoric to persuade others, but now you have to ask later people to persuade you to change? There are always merits in the establishment of a sect by hundreds of schools of thought. For example, Confucianism and Legalism are on the same page, but aren’t there similarities in the moral principles they pursue?”
"Article 26 of the Book of Shang Jun states that officials in charge of laws and regulations must be familiar with laws and regulations. If officials and people under their jurisdiction ask about a certain law or order, they must explain it clearly and explain it to them. This incident was recorded: when the people asked questions, when did the officials answer them, what was asked, and what was answered."
"If someone under your rule commits a crime on a certain day, and the crime is something that the people ask but fails to answer, then the officials in charge of the law will be punished with the punishment for the crime committed by the people."
"The Analects of Confucius says that those who are not taught will be punished for being abused. Isn't it true that they reach the same destination by different paths?"
"And the imminent dilemma that is causing you so much pain may not be something that cannot be dealt with using Confucian methods -"
The emperor's expression did not change at all: "How do you know what I am worrying about at this time?"
There was some doubt in Ying Zheng's tone: "Don't you want to reform the way of selecting officials, but you are also worried that it will be too radical and destabilize the country?"
The emperor's heart moved slightly, and he became a little more interested. He couldn't help but lean forward a little to concentrate more: "Tell me what you think."
Ying Zheng responded, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He glanced at the timepiece in the palace and stood up: "A quarter of an hour has come. The passage of time is really like running water!"
The emperor frowned slightly, and then let out a cold scoff, but did not rush to say anything. His fingers seemed to be clasped on the case, and he was lost in thought.
Like this, after a long while, he suddenly raised his hand and called his close servant over: "Take him to the back hall for some supper."
If Liu Che hadn't reminded him, Ying Zheng might have gone, but he had already suspected it. When the emperor was silent just now, he looked at the other person's expression and saw what he didn't understand.
Ying Zheng sighed deep in his heart, then cupped his hands and said, "I have a few words that I would like to speak to Your Majesty alone. Please keep away your close ministers and relatives."
The emperor's eyes showed a bit of surprise. He stared at him for a few times and finally waved his hand.
The rest of the people retreated quietly.
Ying Zheng got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, let me tell you a story."
The emperor looked at him condescendingly and said lightly: "I would like to hear the details."
In the space, Liu Che recited a text to him with great interest. After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt his head pounding, and his eyes went black.
A bit of confusion gradually appeared on the emperor's face.
Ying Zhengsui was cruel, expressionless, and said in a straightforward tone:
"She is an unparalleled beauty, well versed in the world's classics, and rich in knowledge. He is a cold, stern and crazy young emperor. He has been trapped in the palace since he was a child and has never felt the slightest warmth."
emperor:"……"
A "?" slowly appeared above his head.
What is this?
Something that I just wrote recently?
Ying Zheng pretended not to see the surprise on his face, dug his nails into his palms, and continued reading with his scalp numb.
"After an encounter, both of them were confused."
"This strange woman worked hard to assist the emperor to create a prosperous world. Just when she decided to retire after her success, the emperor blocked her path tyrannically - I will not allow you to leave! Quan'er, without you , how can I live?!"
emperor:"??"
"She didn't want to be trapped in the palace and be one of the girls in his harem. He was in great pain, but in the end he decided to fulfill her!"
"The emperor gave him a glass of poisonous wine, and she drank it sadly. When she opened her eyes again, she found that he was by her side."
"Silly girl, without you, what's the point of thousands of miles of country?"
emperor:"???"
"She covered the emperor's mouth and said, "Your Majesty, if you leave, what will happen to the world?!"
"The emperor smiled tenderly: Let's let our child have a headache! Quan'er, from now on, we will only have each other, and we will never be separated again for life after life!"
emperor:"????"
Ying Zheng resisted the urge to shake goosebumps on his body, and said with a straight face and an expressionless expression: "Your Majesty, I've finished."
emperor:"……"
Emperor: "Ah."
The emperor only felt that his eyes were getting dark.
After sitting in a deadlock for a while, he slowly raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "Then, doesn't that woman not want to enter the harem? If so, why did another child appear?"
Liu Che held a trumpet and confidently gave Ying Zheng the answer:
"He courted, but she refused, he was in pain, he got drunk, and he was a bully! One night, she fled the capital and disappeared without a trace. A few years later, he finally found her..."
"But she found that there was a brat next to her who looked exactly like her when she was a child. She said to him angrily: What do you want to do to my mother?!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Ying Zheng: "Ah."
Ying Zheng only felt that his eyes were getting dark.
Opposite the emperor was still looking at him.
He gritted his teeth and said the answer Liu Che gave.
emperor:"……"
emperor:"…………"
The emperor showed a twisted expression that is difficult to describe in words.
It was like being injured by a car, and just when it was getting better, it was injured again.
Fortunately, he did not continue to ask this question, but changed the subject: "What happened in the end? The emperor pretended to give the woman death, but in fact he left the palace with her and went traveling around the mountains and rivers. ?”
Ying Zheng said with his nose: "Yes."
emperor:"……"
emperor:"…………"
Emperor: "Ah."
This iron-blooded emperor who was all-powerful and powerful in all countries, who deeply understood what he wanted and worked persistently to achieve it, now had a distressing look of confusion and confusion on his face.
Then he spread his hands and looked around: "So?"
The emperor asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Ying Zheng suffers from the fact that he is a shameful person.
How great it would be if I were Liu Yezhu!
he thought.
The emperor became more and more confused: "Why don't you speak?"
Ying Zheng looked at him and smiled guiltily.
Then he said honestly and innocently: "If Your Majesty kills my mother, then this story belongs to you two."
emperor:"?"
emperor:"……"
emperor:"!!!!!!!!!"
Chapter 196
If Your Majesty gives my mother death, then this story belongs to both of you.
It belongs to you two.
oh.
My Zhou Kingdom is what it is today because of Concubine Quan’s dedicated assistance...
I asked for it but couldn't get it. I forced her to have a child like a crazy person...
I faked my death for a woman and left the country to wander around the world with her...
6 ah.
What's the difference between leaving such a reputation in future generations and dying after I was born?
Ah, there is still a little bit.
At least you don't have to suffer the humiliation of being born dead.
6 Ah, 6.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
(Confused) (Shocked) (Continuing in shock) (Continuing in shock) (Gradually regaining consciousness) (Yelling like crazy) (Wriggling on the ground) (Suddenly attacking) (Laughing) (I want to tear apart everyone)
The emperor stayed where he was for at least half a quarter of an hour - it is difficult for people of this era to imagine this kind of rumor-mongering literature that has gathered the wisdom of later generations of people.
