In summer, the afternoon sun bakes people into a drowsy state. At this time, Handan Lingyi shouted, and suddenly he was energized. This time everyone knew that the man just now was King Qin. It was said that they had enjoyed watching the excitement before, and now that they had received such shocking news, they could not let it go. However, the onlookers who reacted quickly at this time had already sensed that something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late to leave.
The ignorant child on the side was very curious and wanted to ask something, but his mother quickly covered his mouth. The mother protected her child and looked at the people brought by Li Xun and Handan Ling as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
After Wu'an Jun took over as the county governor, he respected the King of Qin's order and ordered the Handan Order to do his best to appease the people of Handan City. Only two days later, the King of Qin had people rush into the street, and he didn't even intend to let go of the people who were watching the excitement. Is it true that he was a tyrannical and tyrannical king who was inconsistent with his appearance? Handan Ling was surprised and suspicious, and unconsciously muttered: "This..."
Seeing Handan Ling's face turn red and white, Li Xun asked: "Does Handan Ling have any objections?
"Don't dare, don't dare." King Qin ordered, who dared to object. What if the master is moody and difficult to serve, and he is angry? Wouldn't he just hit the knife edge? However, there is no clear indication of what to do with these people after they are captured, which is also difficult. Thinking of this, Ling Handan respectfully asked for advice: "How to deal with it, please tell me."
Li Xun pointed out: "These days, the king has ordered his ministers to study the laws of Qin. Could it be that the Handan order has forgotten it?"
Isn't it that the king is unhappy about this matter and wants to deal with all these people? What does it have to do with Qin's Law... Wait... Qin's Law... Qin's Law has a clear text: If a thief kills or hurts someone, and a passerby within a hundred steps does not come to his aid, he should be Two penalties. 【1】
Your Majesty, he... actually means this! Handan Ling slapped his forehead and suddenly realized. Then he quickly asked the county magistrate to cross-examine him carefully in front of Li Xun. After being identified, twenty-four people were present when the frivolous woman called for help.
Expecting that the King of Qin was a resolute and resolute person who could not tolerate any criticism, the Handan Order did not dare to be careless and acted quickly. He ordered on the spot: "Take them all away."
"What crime have we committed? You are abusing lynching!" Faced with inexplicable detention, these people naturally refused to accept it.
It's a pity that Handan Ling doesn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore.
"Stop being so verbose, I'll know what crimes you committed when you get back."
The next day, the news spread that twenty-four people were fined to the second grade for not doing what was right. Zhao people were deeply saddened. This is unprecedented in Zhao State.
The laws of Zhao have taken root in the Zhao Kingdom for hundreds of years, but now they are suddenly replaced by the complicated and harsh laws of Qin. Even those who do not do what is right will be punished, and many people are not used to it. However, there are many people who think that what King Qin made was a wise decision. Not only Zhao State, but also other countries quickly heard about this matter. Among the people, the monarchs and ministers were discussing it.
In a wine shop in the land of Qilu, a well-educated Confucian scholar angrily rebuked: "Isn't this tyranny! It's the disciples who are in the wrong, how can passers-by be blamed? This kind of law is just exploiting the people in the name of benevolence and righteousness. They are no different than tigers and wolves.”
Hearing this, a Mohist carrying a sword put one hand behind his back and said with a smile: "Haha, may I ask if this is a Confucian scholar?"
The Confucian scholar swung his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, and replied rather arrogantly: "Of course."
The Mo scholar casually cupped his hands, bowing first and then fighting, and said sarcastically: "I'm the Mo minister, what the Confucians say is so ridiculous, 'If you don't do what is right, you have no courage.' Is that what your ancestors said? If you can say this, it shows that your family My ancestor was also a temperamental person, so why did he treat him so lightly when he came to your place?"
Being able to quote the words from "Wei Zheng" shows that he still has a certain understanding of Confucianism. The Confucian scholar was caught off guard and choked, but he responded quickly. After a brief pause, he calmly argued: "I am not understating it. If you don't do what is right, it is certainly not brave. However, it is not enough to judge the crime. The ancestors also said, "The way is governed by government, and the rule is punished, and the people are free and shameless; the way is governed by virtue, the rule is courtesy, and there is shame and dignity." The Qin State forced each other with severe punishments, and the people were afraid Submission does not mean that you have integrity in your heart. It is better to follow the words of your ancestors, teach them and transform them, so that they know their integrity and observe etiquette."
Someone nearby couldn't listen anymore and jumped in to ridicule: "Confucianism is really a bunch of nerds! Back then, your ancestors traveled around the country and lobbied everywhere, but no king used it, so what's the use? It's just empty talk! Human nature is evil, isn't it just a simple talk? Education can restrain it. If it is true as you say, how many people have you educated since the rise of Confucianism? On the contrary, the Qin State, which used to be in a remote place in the west, after the reform and innovation, went out to the east and raised its ambitions, and no one in the world could resist it. Which one is better, punishment or etiquette, law enforcement or enlightenment, should be decided."
As soon as the conversation started, the already crowded wine shop became even noisier. Coupled with the hot weather, the air around them mixed with the strong smell of alcohol seemed extremely hot.
Someone was so excited that he leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and said loudly: "Nowadays, the world has been ruined by the Qin State and has become more and more chaotic. There is no point in keeping those rotten rituals."
The first one had just finished speaking, and the next one was unwilling to be left alone. He drank everything in the cup, wiped his mouth, and quickly joined the conversation: "Where is the waste? I see that after Qin took over Han land, the people actually lived in peace. In those days, although Han was affected by drought, it was not as starving as the Zhao State. This time, after taking Zhao State, Qin State immediately opened the granaries to release grain, which can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous."
Many people who heard this matter nodded in agreement, but some people had a different taste and felt sad: "The left and right are just food from the Zhao State, but the Qin State knows how to be a favor. Besides, they only gave away some food, and they didn't even have their backbone." No more? Have you ever heard that after the Qin State conquered South Korea and Zhao State, it forced the abolition of the Chinese characters Han and Zhao, and issued a "Cangjie Pian", instructing the whole country to use the new characters of Qin. That is The disgrace of national subjugation!”
The friend on the side came from a poor family. Hearing this, he felt quite unhappy: "That's not the case. You are originally from Zhao, and your family can be considered a noble family. You have had no worries about food and clothing since you were young, and you don't know the hardships of ordinary people. People After a disaster, the food stored at home has been exhausted, and you have to peel off grass roots and tree bark. If you don't even have these, it is not uncommon to change your food when you are hungry. Living is a luxury, who cares whether the country is good or not? He also said Previously, the State of Zhao had abundant Taicang but did not release relief. The Qin State took over and kept it secret, and used it as war preparations. Who knows? How many people have been saved by opening the warehouse this time!"
Living is a luxury, who cares about the country or not? This sentence touched the hearts of many poor people present and actually caused a lot of sighs.
After all, it is a conversation in a wine shop. Different identities, different experiences, and different preferences. Every time you talk to me, the topic will inevitably become more and more eccentric. One moment, we talk about the criminal law of Qin State to disaster relief, and the next moment, we talk about Qin Guoxin. Character. But after all, there is no way around Qin.
No matter what happens to the Qin State, it will not hinder the Qi State for the time being, so the Qi people are still in the mood to talk loudly in the wine shop, but the Yan State is not. The Qin State has already arrived at the southern border of the Yan State, and the people of Yan know very well whether the weak State of Yan will be swallowed up, it is just a matter of a word from the King of Qin.
Therefore, ever since Qin captured the State of Zhao, the State of Yan has been shrouded in a murderous atmosphere. As a result, the prince of the State of Yan could not sleep all night long. What he thought about day and night was how to solve this dilemma...
"This must not be done. Prince, please listen to me. Fan Yuqi is a traitorous general of the Qin State. At this time, the Yan State tolerates him. Isn't it deliberately angering the Qin State?"
Hearing that the prince intended to accommodate Qin's traitors, Grand Tutor Ju Wu rushed to the prince's mansion to advise him.
"My lord, I don't know. When Zhao Zheng succeeded to the throne, he saw me being held hostage by the Qin State. He completely ignored the friendship he had shared during the hardships in his childhood and treated me poorly. Such a kind-hearted person does not need to be provoked, as long as he has spotted his prey. Never let go, now that the army is approaching Yishui, the intention is not obvious?" Although he had escaped from Qin without any danger, but thinking of Zhao Zheng's indifferent attitude, Prince Dan was still resentful.
I don't know whether it was the late summer wind that had a faint chill, or whether there was a chill in Prince Dan's words, but Ju Wu felt that the Prince's Mansion today was a bit eerie.
He heard the resentment in the prince's words, and was afraid that the personal hatred would be added to the national hatred. It would be difficult for the prince to decide state affairs calmly, so he comforted him with sincerity: "I thought that Qin's intention was not clear yet, and it may not be the worst situation, so I accepted it." Qin's rebellion will definitely intensify the situation. The most important thing at the moment is to send Fan Yuqi to the Huns to borrow their hands..." As he said that, he made a fierce gesture.
Of course, if you want to convince the prince, you have to solve foreign troubles for the prince. Ju Wu had carefully considered it when he came, but now he just blurted out what he had just thought: "Secondly, although the Yan State is small, it can ally with Wei and Qi and Chu, trade with Shanyu in the north, and buy cattle, sheep, and horses. The power to fight Qin."
When Prince Dan heard this, he thought that the master was really old. He was considering only moderate strategies, but he did not dare to be conceited. He asked sincerely: "We have been talking about the cooperation of the countries for many years, but it has never been successful. How easy is it?"
"According to what I see, the situation today is different from the past. It was difficult in the past, but not now. Zhao and Han have both fallen. Who can say clearly whose turn will be next? If you stay out of it today, you will be safe tomorrow? He Zong It is the last hope for all nations!”
Prince Dan's expression seemed to be relaxed, but when he changed his mind, he felt that this was not the case: "Why didn't Yan Dan not know that what Taifu said was the best and safest policy? However, if you want to deploy troops and generals, there will be losses. If there is no far-reaching plan, why would Qin suffer? It's a critical situation. In the autumn of life and death, making plans to make long-term plans is like water far away, but it will never save the fire close by."
"The generals of the State of Qin will fight with all their troops and troops. It is not easy to clean up the chaos in the State of Zhao. They may not have the energy to attack Yan. If we station troops outside our southern border, we may be afraid that Qi and Yan will take advantage of it. Share a piece of the pie." Ju Wu did not miss the flash of relief in his eyes, and told Prince Dan about the possibilities he thought of, urging him to expel Fan Yuqi.
Unfortunately, after a brief period of wavering, Prince Dan had already firmly believed what he was thinking: "The situation is critical. Qin may fight or have other considerations. We cannot afford to bet. The enemy is already looking at us eagerly, but we still do not think about dealing with it. It is just like killing him at the neck." Let’s talk about Fan Yuqi. I accepted him not to vent my anger on Zhao Zheng, but because he was wanted by the Qin State. He traveled around the country alone for several years. He was extremely miserable and had a deep hatred for Qin. If I accept him now, I will definitely be grateful. Life and death At this critical moment, it would be a blessing to be able to add more generals and talents to the Yan Kingdom."
After all, he is the prince's tutor, and Ju Wu understands the prince's temperament very well. For this reason, the prince obviously does not intend to cooperate with him. If I don't know what I am interested in, I will only create a rift between the two of them. It's better to follow his wishes and think of a comprehensive solution for him, which can not only solve this crisis for Yan State, but also gain his trust.
"In that case, I would like to recommend someone for the prince..."

(Phew, I’m so sleepy. If there’s something wrong, go back and correct it, okay?)
Note:
[1] This paragraph is the content of the unearthed "Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Slips". The original text is: There is a thief who kills and hurts people and rushes to do it. He and others do not help him. He can compete with others in a hundred steps, and he should be the second armor. The author was afraid that it would be difficult to understand, so he translated it in his own words. The original wording was definitely more accurate than the author's. Don't worry too much, just read here. It roughly means: If a criminal suspect kills or injures others on the street, and those around him stand by and do nothing to rescue him, those within a hundred steps will be punished with two pairs of armor. "Zui" means a small fine. Many of the Qin laws are small fines, with a penalty of one pair of armors and two pairs of armors. For example, it is expressly stipulated that if a person fails to meet the deadline, he will not be punished by law, but also be punished with armors. As a digression, does "The Chen She Family" count as the Black Qin Dynasty? Although the author is a Qin Chui, I feel that this cannot be said completely. One reason is that Hu Hai was already in power at that time, and Zhao Gao encouraged him to mess around and destroy the laws. He may have made a lot of mistakes, and it was not impossible for it to turn into a frightening situation where everyone was beheaded if they failed to comply with the law. Another reason is that when laws are enacted, after all, they are still ruled by people. It is inevitable that the original intention of the central government in enacting the laws is good, but the following are getting more and more biased for various reasons. It is not impossible for some places to rely on the emperor to cause chaos. Therefore, it cannot be said that the unearthed "Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Slips" completely slapped Tai Shigong in the face. Of course, this is just the author's own opinion. Other opinions are welcome to discuss.
