After having a heart-to-heart talk with Ying Quliang, Huang returned to the mansion. At this time, Wei Yang and Jing Jian were already waiting in the mansion.
Because little Linghu was interning at the Sun Chamber of Commerce to prepare for the future as a deacon, the scene manager went to his house every two days.
The relationship between the two developed extremely quickly.
"Nei Shi, do you want me to reserve a room for you? You and little Linghu can live here with me. I'm exhausted from running around every day."
Now that they are familiar with each other, the scene manager is not afraid of the stage. He smiles at Huang and responds: "Okay, keep it. Sometimes it's okay to come and stay for one night."
"When the time comes, it will be a great time for the three of us to have a drink and talk!"
"Anyway, Brother Yang is about to join the Qin State, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the Chief of Zuo Shu."
As Ying Quliang's confidant, Jing Jian naturally knew Ying Quliang's courage and tolerance. He believed that with Ying Quliang's ambition, Wei Yang's entry into Qin was inevitable.
"Haha, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I'm talking to you today, and you're probably going to be disappointed!" Wei Yang raised his cup and smiled.
He tried out what he wanted. At this time, Wei Yang was naturally happy.
Glancing at Wei Yang, Huang nodded: "Brother Yang, that's about it. Your Majesty is worried about Qin and urgently needs to strengthen Qin. I wish you could immediately show your talent in strengthening Qin."
"I don't want to, but I have to do it." Wei Yang's face became serious and his tone was leisurely: "Li Kui, Wu Qi is right in front of me, I have to be cautious."
"I don't care if I can escape unscathed, even if I sacrifice my blood, so what!"
"I just don't want to start a reform with full enthusiasm and give up halfway in the end, just like Wu Qi's reform in Chu State, so that the laws in the country are half-new and half-old, and the people cannot follow them."
"That will harm Qin..."
Hearing this, Huang and Jingjian fell silent. Neither of them were people like Wei Yang. Jingjian lacked talent and knowledge and had insufficient vision.
Although Huang had enough vision and talent, after experiencing the years of later generations and the killings and battles, his heart was already full of dirt.
From the time he came back from Shaoliang to the time when Ying Quliang wanted him to conquer Qin, Huang knew very well that he was a selfish person.
He cannot be selfless.
There are people with lofty ideals from ancient times to the present. They are willing to go through fire and water for the sake of their ideals and national liberation.
Huang knew clearly that he was a warrior, and if he were to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or as an assassin, assassination would be detrimental.
However, a man cannot become a great man.
And Wei Yang has such potential.
Holding wine and facing the setting sun, the three of them communicated, and their wild thoughts gradually became distant. He knew in his heart that Wei Yang's method had flaws, but it was the most suitable for the current Qin country.
The Dharma in his mind may be more comprehensive, but it is not suitable for a time of great strife, but for an era of peace.
"Nei Shi, how are the scholars who entered Qin this time? Are there any great talents?" Wei Yang looked at Jingjian and inquired about the situation of the others.
Jing Jian smiled and said: "There are a few people, but most of them are a group of scholars who can't stand hardship."
"Wang Shi, a scholar of the State of Chen, visited ten counties of Qin. He was deeply aware of the shortcomings of our Qin officials' governance, and submitted to the king "Policy for the Administration of Qin's Officials."
"Some people submitted "Chronicles of Qin County," some submitted "Governing Qin with General Love," others "Governing Qin with Inaction," and some even submitted "Governing Qin with King Baili Xi's Dao."
…
At this point, Jing Jian's expression changed from excitement to indifference. Looking more closely, he became even more livid, and his tone became cold.
"Zi Tianchang, a scholar in Jixia Academy, submitted "Ten Records of Bad Governments", some submitted "Records of the Poor Qin Dynasty", and others submitted "Three Essays on Entering the Qin Dynasty - Soldiering in the Poor Wilderness."
"Some people are even more shameless in saying: "The Theory of the Death of Yue Yang."
The atmosphere was a little quiet. Wei Yang took a sip of wine and said, "I don't know about the others, but I have heard about Tian Chang."
"The day before yesterday, he was the one who drew his sword and killed himself, right?"
Regarding these, Huang had just come back and didn't know much about it. Fu Shuifang must have known about it, but Huang Yixiang avoided the matter and the central government did not report it in advance.
After all, although this incident caused a sensation, it had little to do with Huang.
At this time, Huang and Wei Yang couldn't help but look at Jing Jian, noticing the gazes of the two people, Jing Jian nodded and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty met with the scholars of Qin, and everyone proposed strategies. Tian Chang wrote "Ten Statements on Bad Governments", saying that our Qin State is resorting to militarism and appeasing the Rongdi; the ruler's behavior is perverse; the officials' governance is unclear; private education is belittled; the land system is chaotic; filial piety is not respected; and people's livelihood is ravaged; He worships martial arts and despises literature; he does not cultivate morals."
"After hearing this, your Majesty was deeply convinced. Tian Chang wanted to leave Qin, and your Majesty persuaded you to stay. Even though Tian Chang mocked Qin and ridiculed your Majesty, your Majesty was still willing to respect the official and let Tian Chang serve in Qin."
Speaking of this, Jing Jian was still a little scared and emotional at this moment: "My husband and the Imperial Master were not in Yueyang at that time, and the situation was very tense."
"At that time, Tian Chang's "The Ten Chens of Evil Government" came out, which almost hit the king's lungs directly. At that time, the general, Zi'an, and Che Ying held the hilt of the sword tightly at the same time, waiting for the king's order. , chop Tian Chang into pulp."
"At that time, Tian Chang looked calm and even had a smile on his face. He stood in a neutral position and looked at death as if he could not see the murderous intent."
"At that time, I was terrified and my palms were sweating. I was worried that Your Majesty would not be able to hold back and kill him, and the order for seeking wisdom would be a piece of waste paper by then."
…
At this time, Wei Yang put down the wine cup and commented indifferently: "He wants to become famous in the Qin Kingdom for not fearing tyranny. If Qin Gong gets angry, Tian Chang will definitely be more violent."
"This is the tradition of the death warriors. They will not succumb to any sword and sword, and pay attention to death to achieve their reputation."
Seeing that Wei Yang stopped talking, Huang signaled Jingjian to continue.
"Later, Tian Chang was impressed by the emperor and said that as a famous scholar in Jixia, he not only committed "Ten Chens of Bad Government", but also encouraged the scholars to leave Qin. The emperor never made things difficult for him, but treated him as a scholar of the country."
"Tian Chang said to your Majesty: You treat me as a national scholar, and I should repay you as a national scholar. He should treat me as a wise man with his warm blood."
"Finally, draw your sword and kill yourself."
"On his deathbed, Tian Chang said that he has the mind of a king and wants to dominate the world!"
"Then, the king issued an edict: Tian Chang should be buried with honors as a great official!"
…
"This field is not simple, it has two brushes!" At this moment, even Huang couldn't help but sigh: "By doing this, he killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he repay the emperor, but he also made himself famous through death."
"Your Majesty, it's good that I was buried with the courtesy of a doctor. Speaking of which, Your Majesty has gained the most from this farce."
"Um."
At this moment, Wei Yang also nodded: "Tian Chang has achieved his goal, and the wise king has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His scheming and methods are all top-notch."
"Moreover, his evil policies have really pointed out the shortcomings of the Qin State. This man is also a great talent. What a pity!"
