"Governing by inaction, what is inaction and what is action?" Zhang Beichen said, "I think action and inaction are relative terms!"
"The woodcutter chops wood, doing something with his ax, but does not do anything with the wood; the boatman does the ferrying, doing something with the oar, but does nothing with the water. They both do something and do nothing, but they all achieve their goals, which is to chop wood and ferry. .”
"The same principle applies to governing a country. When a monarch governs a country, he does something for his ministers and does nothing for the people! That is to say, the monarch only needs to manage his ministers well, and does not need to manage the people in every detail! In this way, the effect of governing the country can still be achieved."
"Mortal feelings are such that when you see benefits, you can't do them, and when you see harms, you can't avoid them. People can't seek benefits and avoid harms, and make the most beneficial choice. Therefore, if the country has no laws and no rules for doing things, the world will be in chaos! "
"Whether it is the laws of Qin or other countries, as well as my "Grass Reclamation Order", they are all designed to allow the people to do their best and do their best to get what they want. This is in line with Tao and in line with nature!"
"With strict laws, farmers can farm with peace of mind; workers can manufacture in a regulated manner; businessmen can come and go; soldiers can fight, and everything is in order."
"So, to govern by doing nothing, it should be that the king does nothing and the ministers do something! As ministers, we should standardize the laws and share the worries of the king! The king only needs to appoint good ministers, and that is great governance! This is the real inaction And cure it!”
Part of Zhang Beichen's views come from the parallel time and space Taoist sage Zhuangzi, and the other part comes from the views of the Legalist sage Han Feizi.
When he finished speaking, wisps of Taoist sounds seemed to be heard in the sky, and the power of heaven and earth landed in the hall and entered Xuanniao's body. The black bird seemed to be entangled with the sound of Taoism. It chirped for a long time and sent down a stream of pure spiritual power into Zhang Beichen's body.
Seeing this scene, all the courtiers and scholars were dumbfounded.
"The sound of the Tao is transmitted, the mysterious bird sings in the sky, the national destiny is blessed, and the spiritual power tempers the body!"
"This... this Beichen understands the truth better than the Taoist disciples!"
"This sound came from Tianque. After hearing it, it seemed that my body and mind were baptized! It's terrible. If Zhang Beichen practices Taoism, he will definitely become a great monk!"
"The ruler does nothing but the ministers do something? The ruler does nothing but does nothing for the people and does something for the ministers! This...is this what it means to rule by doing nothing?" Feng Yi was shocked when he heard his words, "Could it be that I understood it before? wrong?"
"Have I gone astray?" Feng Yi thought of this, his face suddenly twisted and foaming at the mouth.
"He's gone crazy!" Jing Ping said when he saw this.
"Feng Yi was defeated by the argument, he was really defeated!" Seeing this, the scholars looked at Zhang Beichen with a bit of respect and fear.
"Feng Yi's law was broken. If he can't come out, he might not be able to get any closer in this life!"
"If he dares to argue the law, he must be prepared to fail!"
"This Feng Yi is such a loser. Let him deal with Zhang Beichen, but he broke his own spell!" Xi Qiming and Bai Jiayi cursed in their hearts. They thought this trick could take advantage of Ying Yi and Zhang Beichen, but who would have thought that Feng Yi would be defeated? So fast!
"Many days of planning will go to waste today!" The old clans were unwilling to accept it. Now, if no one comes out to defend Zhang Beichen, Qin's reform will become a certainty!
Zhang Beichen stood in the center of the hall. After he successfully argued the law, his body was baptized and his Legalist cultivation was improved, from the middle to the late stage of Dao Realm.
"Who else wants to argue?" Zhang Beichen looked at the crowd.
The courtiers looked at Meng Yuan, who lowered his eyes and pretended not to notice. The scholars were all silent. They believed that their national policies were not as good as Zhang Beichen's, so naturally they would not ask for trouble.
Ying Yiren was about to finalize the national policy. At this time, another scholar came out.
The man was wearing Confucian clothes and smiling. He first bowed respectfully to Ying Yi, and then introduced himself: "I am a Confucian disciple."
"What national policy do you have?" Ying Yiren asked.
Gongliang Huaian shook his head and said: "I have no national policy, but I have a theory about the state of Qin to offer."
As he spoke, he took out the bamboo slips he carried with him.
On the bamboo slips, characters appeared floating in the air, flashing with black light.
"Huh?" Just when everyone realized something was wrong, Gong Liang Huaian had already begun to read.
"On the Evil of Qin": The evil of the Qin State is that it resorts to militarism! The Qin State fights every year, and the princesses of the past dynasties do not care about the people, so that the people are in dire straits and mourning is everywhere! It is really a great evil!"
When he spoke, his voice shook the world and turned into a chain of black energy in the air, locking the black bird that was transformed into the shadow of Qin's national destiny. The black energy spread to the black bird, and the black bird screamed in pain!
The spiritual power of Xuanniao was absorbed by Gongliang Huaian through the black energy chain!
"He's a Confucian scholar!" Some people have already recognized his identity.
"It turned out to be a reverse species!" Zhang Beichen was also surprised. When he came to this world, he naturally knew some information here.
The so-called reverse species refers to humans who have betrayed all countries, even betrayed the human race, and taken refuge in demons.
It is difficult for various schools of thought to practice cultivation. To become a great monk requires great perseverance, great wisdom and great opportunities.
As for the demon's method, you can take shortcuts, but the cost is to become a demon yourself. For example, the old man Bai who turned into a zombie is obviously dead, but he is still surviving by eating human flesh and blood.
This kind of reverse Confucian scholar can improve himself by writing "dirty articles" and plundering the luck of others or the destiny of the country.
Once they appear, everyone shouts and beats them, and they are rarely seen. Unexpectedly, there would be a Confucian scholar of the wrong kind infiltrating among the scholars today, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder the power of Qin's national destiny!
"Deserves to kill!" Che Yang stood up and wanted to draw his sword and kill him.
But Jing Ping stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive. He used dirty words to connect his destiny with the destiny of Qin. If we kill him, the destiny of the country will also be damaged!"
Gongliang Huai'an Jiejie smiled and said: "He is right. If you kill me, Qin's national destiny will languish."
Ying Yiren stood up and said coldly: "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"
"If you kill me now, my "Theory of Qin's Evil" will spread throughout the world, and my soul will be parasitic on the fate of Qin, cursing Qin day and night. If you have the ability, Qin will be broken My law will bite me back and kill me!"
"If you don't have the ability, just watch it!" Gongliang Huaian laughed loudly. Ying Yiren did not hide her murderous intention at all, but she was afraid of ruining Qin's national destiny.
Gongliang Huai'an continued to recite his obscene article: "Qin's evil, tolerate the Rong Di! The Rong Di tribe repeatedly invaded the people, and the Qin State did not conquer them, but actually formed an alliance with them! It's disgusting!"
Another black chain locked Xuanniao, making Xuanniao even more painful.
"The evil of the Qin State is due to its perverse monarchy! The King of Qin did not implement benevolent government, but instead used Zhang Beichen and his like to implement harsh punishments and laws, and poisoned the country!"
"The Qin State is evil and its officials cannot govern well. The official system of the Qin State is chaotic, the officials' moral character and talent are low, and they harm the country and the people!"
"The evil of the Qin State is that it does not cultivate poetry and books. The people of Qin favor martial arts, but they despise reading and writing, as they are ignorant!"
When the fifth chain of black energy locked the black bird's shadow, the black bird's body began to shrink slowly, and it struggled wildly in the air to no avail.
In Yueyang City, the wind and clouds changed color in the sky, and the dark clouds blocked the sun. All the people of Qin in the capital saw the strange phenomenon in the sky.
"The luck of our Qin country has been greatly reduced!"
"Damn it, who is it? Who is stealing our country's destiny?"
"In the end what happened?"
"Isn't today the day to set national policies? Has something unexpected happened?" Everyone in the city was terrified.
…
"The national policy is unstable, causing evil spirits to cause chaos. Your Majesty, I believe that we should make a decisive decision!" Meng Yuan, who had been closing his eyes just now, finally spoke, "Restore the ancestral system, set national policies, and stabilize the national destiny, then we can kill this son. !”
A murderous intent flashed through Ying Yiren's eyes. She didn't know if this unfaithful Confucian scholar had anything to do with the old clan. If so, she would definitely get rid of him even if he was a veteran of three dynasties!
"Zhang Beichen, it's all your fault!" Bai Jiayi took the opportunity to accuse Zhang Beichen, "If you hadn't wanted to change the law, you would not have attracted this monster! Today's national destiny has been damaged, and you will not be able to escape the death penalty!"
"Your Majesty, hurry up and announce the restoration of the ancestral system. Only by stabilizing the national destiny can we kill this traitor!" the courtiers shouted in unison.
