The royal capital of South Korea was destroyed, and a large number of nobles surrendered or were captured. The children of the royal family were naturally the first to bear the brunt.
“Sir, the Qin people are besieging the city and we must leave Korea immediately.
You have always been ignored. The people of Qin will not care about you. You can escape.
I have nearly a thousand servants in my household, all of whom are loyal and brave men. You can choose a hundred to escort you when you leave. "
Zhang Liang tried to persuade Han Fei anxiously, but Han Fei looked at the sky with a bitter look on his face and said slowly: "My country is dead and the world is long, where can we go?
Are you going to abandon the country and the ancestral temple like this? "
Zhang Liang said anxiously: "Sir, the Sheji Ancestral Temple is about people and not things. As long as you can escape and restore your country, the world is vast. Where can you not rebuild the Korean Ancestral Temple?"
You are a rare genius in the world, and you are a person who can become a holy king. The king did not listen to your advice and ended up in this situation.
But you can't give up on yourself, especially your books. Are they going to be lost like this?
Your teacher Xunzi is the sacrificial wine of Luo Academy, and you are also a Korean prince.
The Duke of Luo State has always hated the State of Qin. Knowing your identity, he will definitely accept you.
If you are willing to tell the Luo Kingdom Office what you have learned in your heart, they will definitely be willing to protect you. "
Han Fei was persuaded by Zhang Liang, thought for a moment and said, "Zifang, you go too.
I just have some pedantic knowledge in my heart, but you are a person who can control the world.
I know that you will never serve as an official in Qin, and you cannot stay in the capital of Han to wait for death.
If you follow me to the Luo Kingdom, you will definitely be put to good use. "
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, sir, Liang will not stay in Handu, but there is no need to go to Luo Kingdom.
Unless King Su comes to the throne, Luo is no match for Qin.
But Liang doesn't believe that Qin really has no shortcomings at all. I want to go to Qin and see all the countries in the world.
Let’s see what Qin’s weaknesses are.
The Zhang family was the prime minister, assisting the ancestors of the Five Dynasties. Now the Qin Kingdom has conquered Han Dynasty.
I swear that I will overthrow the Qin Kingdom to the end of my life! "
Zhang Liang's words were full of decisiveness and decisiveness. At the age of twenty, he had determined his lifelong ambition.
How many people like him are there now?
How many more will there be in the future?
The two of them held hands and choked, their eyes full of grief for the destruction of their country and their family. Under the protection of Zhang's guards, they fled out of the city.
…
"Squeak, squeak."
A large number of carriages escorted countless treasures plundered from Korea towards Qin. At the end of the army was the prison carriage escorting the King of Han.
Entering Xianyang City with disheveled hair.
Then came the Korean princes, princesses and Korean nobles.
Some Korean nobles fled to other countries with the intention of restoring Korea.
Many others surrendered directly, and even used the King of Han in exchange for glory and wealth.
Although these nobles are stupid, they see one thing clearly.
The people of Qin did not study but only fought. They knew nothing except cutting heads and farming.
If the King of Qin wants to govern the country, he still needs to rely on nobles like them who are literate and understand the law.
These people came to Qin with the army with a trace of hope for the future.
These bloodline aristocrats who were so prosperous in the past now look quite down and out.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qin State did not dare to attack these dignitaries, otherwise they would not know what kind of torture they would suffer.
In the palace of the King of Qin, all the ministers of the Qin Kingdom were sitting in the main hall. This was the first king to come to the Qin Kingdom as a prisoner since the Prime Minister, and everyone had curiosity in their eyes.
As expected, the King of Han was escorted to the main hall with his flesh exposed. His body was very white and fat, which was really disgusting.
Apart from King Zhao, he was the first foreign monarch to see the government of Qin.
Looking at the majestic and somewhat sinister Qin Wangzheng, King Han instantly knelt down on the ground, raised his high voice, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin, I beg you to forgive me."
Qin Wangzheng didn't say anything, and Li Si immediately asked loudly: "King Han, what's your crime? Come here quickly!"
King Han kowtowed deeply and said with a shudder: "The Zhou Dynasty fell because you were favored by God and were about to become the emperor who inherited the destiny of heaven.
Isn't it a sin for Xiao Wang not to be able to recognize the change of days and not dedicate the whole of Korea to you as soon as possible?
You are a kind king, please forgive Xiao Wang's sins. Xiao Wang is only willing to guard your fence for generations to come. "
In the main hall, the Duke of Qin looked at the groveling King Han and laughed out loud.
Now he is only the King of Han, but in the future he will be the King of Qi and the King of Yan. Those are the millennium nobles who were entrusted by King Wu and King Su, the real Ji Jiang nobles.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Wangzheng did not smile. He suddenly thought that a thousand-year-old nobles could not match the centuries-old military merits of the Qin Dynasty.
No matter how noble your bloodline is, once the descendants are clinging to the old and failing to keep up with the times, all the glory will disappear and even bring shame to the ancestors.
"If I create a system that can be passed down for eternity, I will definitely be able to surpass King Su of Bang Zhou."
Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng heard what King Han said about "fences" and sneered secretly in his heart. King Han still lived under the rules of the Zhou Dynasty and frequently granted land and titles.
Although in my heart I sneered at the obvious decentralization of power such as enfeoffment.
However, the world has not yet been settled, and the concepts formed over thousands of years, not to mention the nobles of the six countries, even the clans of Qin, are still waiting for Qin to unify the world and entrust them with enfeoffments.
Especially the nobles from the six countries are waiting for King Qin to unify the world and return them to their homeland to become kings.
The king of Qin copied the experience of the previous kings in his government, knowing that it was okay to go back on his word as a king. This is how the Qin State became strong and prosperous all the way.
The key is not to fall out directly when you are weak.
If he wants to challenge the rules of the entire world, his current power is not enough, so he has been ambiguous in this regard.
On the one hand, a large number of prefectures and counties were established to implement Qin laws and enhance the power directly under the King of Qin.
On the other hand, land was given on a small scale to give reassurance to the clan and military meritorious service.
King Qin Zheng said loudly: "In the past, the Zhou Dynasty had a royal system of two kings and three kings, inheriting the descendants of the ancient sage kings.
I am willing to follow the example of King Su and retain the sacrifices of other countries.
I will confer you the title of Lord Han and reward you with a city so that the blood of the Han family can be passed on. "
King Han directly kowtowed heavily and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty.
Your virtue is far higher than that of the ancient holy kings. I and my descendants will serve you and be loyal to you forever and ever. "
This sounds a little awkward.
Not far from Xianyang is the old site of Haojing City. It was there that your ancestors swore to the sky with King Su to be loyal to Zhou Zhou forever.
Although you were sworn by the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom, as a small clan with the surname Ji, you were actually the prince who took away the most land from Wangji of Luoyi.
If you can still say these words openly now, do you really think that history books do not exist?
How shameless.
Qin Wangzheng laughed instead. He was not interested in the Han family's allegiance. Now he just wanted to put the city into his hands first.
Look at the great talents who have helped Qin become strong and prosperous throughout the ages. Who can escape from Qin unscathed?
Reward first and seize later, a characteristic of Qin!
Although the ministers in the main hall laughed at King Han, they very much agreed with King Qin's reward of food to King Han.
This is not a matter for King Han alone, but for the entire aristocratic class.
Qin Wangzheng's reward to the Korean king not only calmed the hearts of the Korean people, but the Qin nobles also began to look forward to the future.
The news spread to the remaining six kingdoms. No matter what the kings thought, at least the hearts of many nobles began to come alive.
After the Koreans surrendered, their treatment seemed to be pretty good. This Qin Wangzheng seemed to be a relatively benevolent monarch.
At the same time, Qin's huge espionage system once again began to operate among various countries with heavy funds.
Qin can have the power to almost dominate the world now, and the role played by spies is no less than that of generals.
One soldier is raging, and the general is raging in a nest.
Qin's continuous victory lies in the fact that under the premise of strong national strength, it also uses its strongest generals to defeat the novices on the opposite side.
The next target chosen by Qin Wangzheng was Wei, which was once Qin's most powerful enemy after the war between the Xia Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty.
With the help of Wei Wuzu, he ran freely on the land west of Hexi.
But the current Wei State is very weak. Even compared with South Korea, it is not much stronger.
…
Luo country.
Luo Ze helped Xunzi sit down and looked curiously at Xunzi who came to look for him. As Xunzi grew older, Luo Ze had not seen him for a long time.
"Does Xun Qing have something important to do when he comes to look for an orphan?"
He was the last sage to appear in Confucianism, but mainstream Confucianism, no matter which classic he wrote, basically did not recognize him.
But Luo Shi was different. In addition to his attitude towards the monarch, Luo Shi was very fond of Xunzi's other theories.
Especially in the management of large countries, Luo believed that it far surpassed the current level of Confucian theory and was a true way of managing the world.
After all, if the Confucian kingship is to be realized now, we should wait until the day when Luo becomes king.
But Luo also believed that Xunzi was more suitable to open another business instead of being trapped in the circle of Confucianism.
In the past, Luo Minggong proposed the two theories of good nature and evil nature, which caused endless debates.
Luo Shi and Mencius, the sage recognized by Confucianism as the second sage after Luo and Kong, greatly elaborated on the theory of human nature, which basically occupied the mainstream of Confucian thought.
However, Xunzi came out and greatly praised the theory of evil nature. However, following the theory of evil nature, one will eventually discuss the art of punishment and naming.
His most famous student is Li Si, the current Prime Minister of the State of Qin, who is an out-and-out Legalist.
A great Confucian sage taught a disciple of Legalism, which is tantamount to making an enemy. It is perfectly normal for Confucians not to recognize him.
Xunzi said softly: "The king knows that Li Si is my disciple, but he doesn't know that I have another disciple, a Korean prince.
He is a genius like Laozi and Confucius, a true genius, but he prefers the art of punishment, and has almost reached an end on this path.
The office probably wouldn't like him, so I didn't recommend him.
But now that Korea has fallen, he has come to Luo to seek me out. If you are interested in his teachings, I can bring him to have a look. "
Is the art of punishment coming to an end?
Doesn't this mean that this Korean gentleman is the master of Legalism in the Three Jin Dynasties?
Such a high evaluation made Luo Ze curious, "In the past, Wei Yang came from the academy to Qin. The Luo family tolerates all things. You can bring him with you."
I was really chosen to be a worker. My colleagues were almost done, but I was still holding on. Now all the work fell on me, BBQ.
