"You are really my good son!"
Ying Zheng had a gloomy face, staring at Zhao Hao with dagger-like eyes, and his voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice.
"Father, why are you here..."
When Zhao Hao saw Ying Zheng, his mouth suddenly felt dry and his face was full of surprise.
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said solemnly: "Originally, you plotted against Guizhou, and I planned to teach you a lesson. Unexpectedly, you also plotted against me. It really opened my eyes!"
"Father, you misunderstood, my son..."
"How dare you say there is a misunderstanding!?"
Ying Zheng interrupted Zhao Hao's words with a cold shout, "You asked Yan Le to openly give ten gold coins to the person who scolded you. Do you want to use the ten gold coins to attract the attention of thieves?
Do you want to use the thief to teach the person who scolded you a lesson?
Do you want to use the Sikou Mansion to catch the thief and get back the ten gold coins? ! "
"It's such a conspiracy, you kid can't think of it!"
"If that thief kills people to get gold, how can you feel at ease?!"
"this...."
When Ying Zheng exposed his plan to his face, Zhao Hao couldn't help but lower his head and muttered: "Ten gold won't kill anyone..."
"What do you know, kid!?"
Ying Zheng hated the iron and shouted: "Don't say ten gold, even one gold can make people seek wealth and death!"
As he said that, he immediately grabbed the whip from the jailer's hand and prepared to teach the traitor a lesson.
At this moment, Zhao Hao was suddenly heard shouting: "Father! Even if I don't think it through well, you must treat the matter of the eastward patrol with caution!"
"You kid still dare to mention the eastward patrol?!"
Ying Zheng's face darkened, he took a step forward and was about to crack his whip.
Zhao Hao said quickly: "Father, calm down! Let me finish what I have to say!"
"What do you want to say again?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"According to Erchen's inference, those two people are definitely assassins!"
Zhao Hao said: "Before, I didn't know whether the homing pigeons were real, but now I am sure that they used the homing pigeons to contact the concubine in the court and plot to assassinate my father!"
When he heard this, Dun Rui's face changed drastically and he asked anxiously: "Young Master, are you serious about what you said?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt this!"
Zhao Hao said seriously: "Hurry up and get the carrier pigeon!"
"Where is the homing pigeon?"
"At my teacher Wei Liao's place!"
"His Majesty...."
After hearing Zhao Hao's words, Dunruo immediately looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng frowned and waved, "Go!"
"promise."
He responded weakly and rushed out of the torture room.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Hao for a while and said coldly: "I asked you to study with Guo Wei, and this is how you study? You spend all your time without learning or skills, just thinking about causing trouble!"
"Father! My son and I have been wronged!"
Zhao Hao defended: "I am studying hard, but that kid always makes trouble for me. He throws stones at my carriage every time, and scolds me for being born by my mother but not raising him." Disgusting words!"
"What did you say?!" Ying Zheng was angry.
Zhao Hao made a grimace: "It's the real father. Not only did that boy scold me, but there were also several half-grown men who also followed him and scolded me!"
"My son has always kept a low profile outside the palace. He has never taken the initiative to reveal his identity. I don't know who they heard from. Anyway, they are fighting against my life and death..."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face turned gloomy.
What a big dog! ….
How dare you scold your son like this?
Can the son of the head of Guizhou know the secrets in the palace?
Is it because the suggestions made by this boy have touched the interests of some people? Are you treating this guy like a Shang Jun?
A group of people who hide their heads and show their tails think that I don't take him seriously, so they will humiliate him at will? !
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "Zhao Gao! I'll leave this matter to you for investigation. Be sure to investigate thoroughly!"
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Zhao Gao responded respectfully.
At the same time, he sneered in his heart, a bunch of idiots, do they really think that since there is no one behind Gongzi Hao, anyone can bully him?
It doesn’t matter which prince Your Majesty treats like Young Master Hao.
I don’t have any eyesight at all, I’m just looking for death!
Just when Zhao Hao thought he was lucky enough to escape a beating, Ying Zheng said coldly: "I ask you, what did you mean when you just said that you would not enlighten the people's wisdom and would allow stupid people to destroy the Qin State? "
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "It turns out that my father is also in the tavern!"
"Without further ado!"
Ying Zheng shouted with a straight face: "Answer me quickly!"
"How can anyone be so fierce when asking for advice..."
"Um?"
"Okay! I said it's not enough yet!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng was about to raise his whip again, Zhao Hao shrank his neck and said quickly: "Father, think about it, if you are an unknown Guizhou leader and you want to go to the city to do business, someone will give you a piece of silk with words on it;
I tell you that as long as you give this silk cloth to the county magistrate, you can get ten gold rewards. Will you agree? "
"It depends on what's written on the silk!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
"If you were illiterate, would you still send it?"
"this……"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Yes! Ten gold is a huge fortune for a Guizhou leader!"
"Yes, ten pieces of gold may make people seek wealth and death, or it may make people take desperate risks. This is the disadvantage of stupid people!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "As for the benefits of stupid people, I don't need to say much, my father also understands."
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "How about enlightening the people's wisdom?"
"Father, you heard me wrong. What I said was restrictive to enlighten the people's wisdom!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said tentatively: "If the conditions remain unchanged, you can read, and find that it is written on the silk cloth: Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die. Will you still send silk cloth?"
"presumptuous!"
Ying Zheng was furious when he heard Zhao Hao's words.
Zhao Gao and others on the side had their eyelids twitching wildly, thinking in their hearts, Master, you are really not afraid of death!
"This is not what I said, it was Chu Nan Gong. I'm just giving you an example!"
"How can you give an example like this?!"
Ying Zheng scolded angrily: "You bastard!"
This kid is getting more and more arrogant!
Last time, for example, it was said that after the death of the First Emperor, the land was divided. This time, what was said about Chu, even though there were three households in Chu, Chu would definitely die when Qin was destroyed? !
Damn it!
If your kid’s mother hadn’t died early and there was no support from the maternal clan, I would have doubted whether your kid was a remnant of the Chu Kingdom!
Although Ying Zheng was very angry, he did not teach Nizi a lesson. After all, Nizi's explanation was so tempting that he couldn't help but suppress his anger and continue the exchange.
However, he would never speak first.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more chilling, Zhao Hao swallowed subconsciously... Father, don't blame me. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms will think of various ways to anger you in the future, so take precautions now. ….
"Okay, okay, father, don't be angry, think about it quickly, do you know the words on it, and will you be able to give me silk cloth?"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted and said angrily, "No!"
"Why?"
"The price is too small!"
Zhao Hao shrugged and said, "So, as long as you pay a high enough price, anyone can take risks!"
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "What does this have to do with people's wisdom?"
"Of course it's related!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Father, think about it, the ignorant are fearless!"
"When people don't know anything, they often don't think too much and only care about immediate interests. This is the fundamental reason why the remnants of the Six Kingdoms can coerce the people to cause chaos. As long as they are given a certain amount of profit, those ignorant Guizhou leaders will flock to them. !」
"but."
As he said that, he changed the topic and continued: "Father, think about it, if a person knew a little bit and seemed to understand a little bit, would he still take risks?"
"this……"
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and then said thoughtfully: "I should still know how to do it!"
"Yes! Probably still, probably not!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said meaningfully: "Then, there is a period of hesitation here!"
"Hesitation period?" Ying Zheng was stunned.
Zhao Hao explained: "Once people hesitate, they will think a lot, and the more they think, the more afraid they will be."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid of the consequences!"
Zhao Hao said a little funny: "For example, the laws of our country of Qin stipulate that rebels must sit together!"
"If a person has a certain knowledge of the law before breaking the law, the probability of him breaking the law will be greatly reduced."
"However, the law cannot restrain everyone. There are always those who are not afraid of death! At this time, we must kill the chicken and respect the monkey, so that people can respect the law from the bottom of their hearts."
At this point, he paused and continued: "To put it simply, restrictive measures to open up people's wisdom are actually popularizing the law!"
"Publication of law?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, seeming to realize something.
Zhao Hao continued: "If you tell the old Qin people about the Qin Law, they will definitely know it very well, because our Qin country has been governed by law for more than a hundred years, and the Qin Law has been engraved in their bones."
"but."
"For the people of the Six Kingdoms, they seem to know nothing except the harshness of Qin's laws."
"Even though our country of Qin intends to amend the cruel laws, the fear of the harsh laws of Qin has already penetrated into their hearts. If we want to completely change their prejudice against Qin, we need to popularize the law!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
Zhao Hao didn't disturb him, just waited quietly.
For ordinary people, as long as they don't break the law as a prostitute, they will never break the law in their lifetime.
Not breaking the law means there is no need to understand the law.
So what’s the point of the law?
Who does the law serve?
No one can tell clearly.
In fact, in ancient times, the law, to be precise, served the rulers.
Of course, after the Han Dynasty, the law had a deeper meaning, that is, it served the noble families.
It can be seen that the law must serve a group.
Nowadays, the Qin Kingdom has just been unified, and the understanding of Qin law by the people of the six kingdoms is still in the harsh era.
In addition, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms deliberately slandered and maliciously promoted it, making it even more difficult to popularize Qin's laws. ….
As if aware of this problem, Ying Zheng came back to his senses and frowned: "Even if our Qin law includes torture, it is not always the case. With a few modifications, most Guizhou leaders can accept it, but..."
As he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Hao and said calmly: "Did you know that the size on the map does not represent the size of the territory?"
"Of course this son knows!"
"Now that you know it, tell me how to spread the law?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "My son thinks that there are two ways to popularize the Fa. One is to actively publicize it, just like what Shang Jun did when he reformed the Fa, and the other is to let the target of the Fa popularization take the initiative to understand!"
"How to make the legal education targets take the initiative to understand?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhao Hao replied: "My son, I have thought about two things. First, set an example and crack down on violations of law and discipline everywhere!"
"Second, link the interests of the leaders of Guizhou to Qin Fa and make them realize that Qin Fa is protecting them, not harming them!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Didn't I, Qin Fa, do the two things you mentioned?"
"In our opinion, Qin Fa has done it, but to those who don't understand Qin Fa, Qin Fa has not done it!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "If you want to popularize the law, the key is to get it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"
"Just like military merit, everyone wants to be rewarded and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely.
...."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
This guy is indeed a talent.
Putting aside his bold words and deeds, as well as his relatively naive political views, many of his ideas are still feasible.
"I think Father must have understood. Let me go quickly. My hands and feet are numb."
Seeing that Ying Zheng recognized his argument, Zhao Hao asked while the iron was hot.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt a little funny in his heart, but he said calmly: "It's not impossible to let you go. Now tell me, what have you and your teacher learned?"
"No, Father!"
Zhao Hao said with some dissatisfaction: "If you want to take the school exam, you have to wait until your son comes down to take the exam! You are just like trying a prisoner!"
"What? Not willing? Then..."
"His Majesty!"
Ying Zheng originally planned to embarrass Zhao Hao and punish him for his disrespectful words, but suddenly he heard a weak voice coming from outside the door. .
