King Ling wants to proclaim himself emperor, Xiao Yuanle, and others can't sit still.
Both the counselors and the generals were anxious.
Peng Shuang said directly: "This is unreasonable! What qualifications does his spiritual king have to be the emperor? Regardless of his merits, or his literary, Taoist and military strategies, the king should be the emperor!"
"That's right!" Lian Xiao followed: "Putting down the bandits, getting rid of the bad guys, saving the nation from fire and water, and saving the country from danger. None of it. It wasn't my king who ordered the kings of the world to put an end to the war. The king of the world also Only the king!"
Xu Hu said: "Even King Ling can claim the title of emperor, why doesn't the king give him the highest honor?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Yue also said: "The people of the world have been waiting for this for a long time. Your Majesty should be the emperor long ago."
Military generals do this, and civilian officials also need to persuade.
But Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, King Ling wants to proclaim himself emperor, just let him proclaim himself emperor, it won't affect us anything."
"But your Majesty..." Peng Shuang was anxious.
Xiao Yuan raised his hand and said: "There is indeed no problem in proclaiming the emperor now, but it is completely unnecessary. Once I join in the fun, it will be equivalent to indirectly recognizing King Ling as the emperor."
"Just in time, he proclaims himself emperor, and our army can take advantage of this to attack him!"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other.
Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Yuzhi and continued: "Prime Minister, make preparations immediately to secretly transport grain, grass and weapons to the four theaters."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to explain: "Remember, this matter is very important, you have to check it yourself."
"I understand, your Majesty, please rest assured." Liu Yuzhi accepted the order.
Before the war begins, prepare all the food, grass, ordnance and store it in the frontline city. Then the army can move quickly without worrying about the baggage slowing down the process, and you can achieve the effect of a blitz attack.
After explaining this, Xiao Yuan looked around again and said: "The Ling King does not know our army's preparations to attack Ling now. Therefore, all military information must not be leaked. Today's discussion will end here. Let's go down first."
"No." Everyone saluted in unison.
After waiting outside, Peng Shuang couldn't help but said: "The king has always refused to take the throne, but now the thief Ling Wang wants to usurp it. It's really hateful."
"Haha." Wang Su smiled and said: "General Peng's mood is the same as everyone else's, but the king is determined to be in the world and does not care about the false reputation in front of him. He must live up to his reputation."
"The world is collapsing. Who wiped out all the countries? It's your king! Who led us to this day, it's your king! Without your king, where would the Qin State be? Where would our Qin Army's millions of soldiers be? Without the king, we would have commanded the kings of the world. At the beginning, The ghost army has invaded the Central Plains a long time ago. Without the king, there are still wars in many places! Why should he, the spiritual king!" Xu Hu was still unhappy.
After hearing these words, Shangguan Wenruo said: "The generals are like this, they are war-minded..."
Just when Xiao Yuan was fully preparing for the battle to attack the spirit, the great scholar of the world bowed and entered Qin again, requesting an audience with the King of Qin.
This man founded the doctrine and had many disciples. His reputation spread far and wide, and he was respected as a great sage, especially among the scholars.
This is the second time he has come to Qin. The first time, he wanted to give lectures. This time, he wanted Xiao Yuan to adopt his philosophy of governing the country.
At the beginning, the monarchs of various countries had different governance. For example, the Xuan Kingdom, which valued etiquette and virtue, and the Ling Kingdom, which valued kingship and love for all, were attacked and destroyed long ago.
The Qin State placed great emphasis on the rule of law.
In view of Qu Li's status and reputation, Xiao Yuan met him this time.
In the majestic and majestic Qin Palace, there are magnificent palaces everywhere, and there are many forbidden troops, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.
On the hundred steps outside the Chaoyi Hall, Curry was walking up step by step.
Not long after, he entered the palace, stood in front of him, spread out his sleeves and robe, and gave a deep and standard salute: "The common man curtsies, I have seen His Highness the King of Qin."
"Old sir, please get up." Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Curtsy stood up, the etiquette was very good.
"Sir, when you enter Qin this time, could it be that you want me to support your doctrine again?" Xiao Yuan's voice was calm and straight to the point.
"Yes, Your Highness." Curley said bluntly: "I heard that where the army is, there are thorns and thorns. After the army passes, there will be bad years. Although the king has a strong military, the Qin army's officers and soldiers, the tiger and wolf division, can only use force. , cannot govern the world well, only benevolence can make all people return to their hearts."
What he said makes sense, but it doesn't apply now.
Xiao Yuandao: "Of course I agree with ruling by benevolence and virtue. But in today's era of great strife, if we talk about universal love, how can Qin survive to this day? It is afraid that it will be annexed by other countries long ago. Benevolence and etiquette are the foundation of governing the world, and In troubled times, it is necessary to pay attention to the classics."
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong." Qu Li said sternly: "Just like the two kingdoms of Qin and Ling, if the two monarchs can live in peace and have no fight with the world, the people will no longer suffer the disaster of swords and soldiers, and the world will naturally be the same. It’s peaceful.”
"This is a fallacy." Xiao Yuandao: "As Mr. said, even if this king and King Ling live in peace, what about the next King of Qin? Where is the next King Ling? This war will start sooner or later. By then, the world will only It’s even more chaotic. If you want true peace, the only way is for the mountains and rivers to be unified.”
"What Mr. Qi said is highly suspected of splitting China. Is it possible that I and King Ling are allowed to rule across the river and divide the entire land of China into two? Isn't this splitting the country and the nation? This king cannot afford to bear this crime."
"This, this." Curley choked for a moment, then gave another salute and said: "Based on this, I can't argue with the king, but only through the rule of benevolence can the world be unified."
Xiao Yuan looked at him.
Curry continued: "When I was traveling to study when I was young, I met a woman who killed her son. When I asked what the crime was, others said: The son is not guilty. It is not the crime of kissing her."
"This woman is the stepmother of this son, that's all. Just like today, if you leave the people in the hands of your stepmother, how can you consider it a relative?"
"Officials will be harsh in their governance and neglect benevolent governance, and the people will work too hard but be ungrateful, and they will accumulate grudges without complaining. This is the act of ruining the country."
Xiao Yuan was not angry, but smiled and said: "If she were in Qin, this woman would not dare to kill her son, because Qin's laws are not followed!"
Then he added: "Sir, don't you hear that it is true that eight hundred princes are separatist and conquer each other, and the people are miserable. To this day, if we don't have the soldiers of the Qin army to wipe out the world, how can the peace of the people everywhere be achieved? ."
Curry said: "What did the king say? The princes are in chaos because of the funeral. It can be seen that the foundation of the world's great governance lies in benevolence and etiquette. If eight hundred princes all abide by etiquette and morality, how can we have today's troubled times?"
Xiao Yuandao: "What you said is for the rule of prosperous times, not the rule of troubled times. I listen to this. If the world is united, it will be benevolent and virtuous."
"In this case, your Majesty is a wise and wise Lord." He bowed and bowed.
"Huh? Sir, I am so unworthy of this ridiculous compliment." Xiao Yuan looked cheerful, really not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore.
