Chapter 5: Change the law, change the law of the world!
The eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, August 8th.
After two and a half months, a major meeting was held again in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Ting Wei Xiong Mao shouted loudly:
"Pass, Lord Chang'an comes to the palace!"
The court guards spread Xiong Mao's words by word of mouth all the way outside the palace:
"The Lord of Chang'an comes to the palace!"
With loud shouts, Ying Chengyu general Qin Jian He and his halberd were handed over to the palace guards for safekeeping, and he stepped into the palace wearing a general's armor and a round helmet.
Walking all the way to the high platform of the main hall, Ying Chengyu suddenly raised his hands and said loudly:
"The last general, Ying Chengyu, pays homage to the king!"
Looking at Ying Chengyu, who was wearing a helmet and shaking armor, Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with relief and he exclaimed:
"Brother Wang is really brave!"
Ying Chengyu bowed his hand and saluted:
< br>"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly and asked worriedly.
"Brother Wang, are you ready?"
Ying Chengyu responded solemnly.
"The last general has prepared his troops and is ready to fight for the king at any time!"
Ying Zheng stood up happily and praised loudly:
"Excellent!"
"Today, Brother Wang is taking my Da Qin sergeants out to fight, but it is to fight for our Da Qin."
"I am responsible for sending Wang brother ten miles away to support Wang brother!"
Lu Buwei:? ? ?
Why are you here all of a sudden?
Do you know how chaotic it is outside now?
Why don't you go ten miles out of the city to see each other off? I thank you on behalf of the assassin!
Lu Buwei hurriedly stopped him:
“The king’s move is inappropriate.”
“In our Qin Dynasty, there has never been a king who sent ten miles away for a general to march!”< br>
Ying Zheng showed obvious hesitation, and after a few seconds he looked at Lu Buwei sincerely:
"There is a saying in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals": Therefore, a person who is good at being a king will obey his fate, and all the officials have been governed, the head of Guizhou has been married, and the name has been sealed."
"Father Zhong, you are It is said in the book: A person who is good at being a monarch should carefully maintain his true nature, so that all officials can govern, the head of Guizhou can be attached to him, and his reputation can be prominent. "
"Father Zhong, I really want to send off my brother Wang and the soldiers. This is my true nature!"
Lu Buwei was very surprised:
"The king is already reading "Don't "Bow" chapter? ”
Lu Buwei was extremely surprised.
According to his teaching arrangement, Ying Zheng should be reading "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals: Xian Shi Lan" now. Why did Ying Zheng directly quote the chapter "Don't Gow" in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals?" statement?
Is Ying Zheng taking the initiative to study or even preview "Lu's Spring and Autumn"?
Is this child so eager to learn now?
Ying Zheng nodded obediently in response:
"I have been familiar with "Xian Shi Lan" in the past ten days, and now I am reading "Li Su Lan"."
"There are many things I don't understand about what Zhong Fu wrote."
"However, Zhong Zhong My father has been increasingly busy recently, and I don’t want to disturb Father Zhong, so I understand on my own that there may be something biased.”
Lü Buwei laughed heartily:
“Good!”
"Very kind!"
"The king already has the image of a benevolent king!"
Although Lu Buwei has always regarded Ying Zheng as a puppet, Lu Buwei has never thought about usurping the throne, let alone usurping the throne. He killed Ying Zheng.
Based on his political wisdom, it is not difficult to imagine that his current actions are very dangerous, and will make Ying Zheng hate him extremely. Once he gains power, he will probably kill his entire family!
Then what is he trying to do?
One, of course, is power. Lu Buwei desires and enjoys power.
The second is to realize his ideal, change the rule of law of the Great Qin Dynasty to the rule of law first, rule of law as a supplement, monarch inaction, and Lu Buwei’s characteristic governance philosophy, and then help the Great Qin swallow up the six countries, and then The way to govern the Qin Dynasty has been upgraded to the way to govern the world!
In order to achieve this goal, Lu Buwei compiled "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and revised "Qin Code", delaying Ying Zheng's time to take charge, and even more devoted himself to educating Ying Zheng.
Unfortunately, Da Qin’s Legalist philosophy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be changed in a few years.
Lu Buwei is already in his fifties and may die at any time, and his reforms may stop at any time because of his death.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng is only twenty-one years old, rising like the rising sun.
The best future envisioned by Lu Buwei is for Ying Zheng's thoughts to completely change into Lu Buwei's shape.
Ying Zheng accepted a series of requirements for restraining monarchy in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", such as appointing talents, choosing prime ministers, knowing people, and accepting remonstrances. Lu Buwei was able to continue to maintain most of his rights. The monarch and his ministers worked together to reform the country. The sun and moon make a new day!
For a long time, Lu Buwei felt that this idea was just a dream, or even a delusion.
But the attitude shown by Ying Zheng today gave Lu Buwei hope. Lu Buwei impatiently and sincerely warned:
"The king must remember that no matter how busy the minister is, the king can always come and ask if he has any questions."
"What the minister does is more important than what the king learns. It’s better to be safe than anything else!”
“Don’t let the small lose the big!”
Ying Zheng quickly handed over:
"I know it!"
"Then, what did I do for the king's younger brother Zhuang?"
Lu Buwei avoided this question and just advised him gently:
" The truth is never isolated. "
"Just as the rule of virtue should be supplemented by the rule of law, inaction requires action."
"There is a saying in "Chongji": A wise man does not look at what he calls, but looks at what he calls."
"It means: disasters do not come for no reason, but are caused by people's actions. Come, therefore, the monarch should cultivate his moral character to carry out the Tao, and pay special attention to the causes of disasters."
Ying Zheng thought thoughtfully:
"It is just like what Mencius said: It is the reason for knowing destiny. Don’t you stand under the rock wall?”
Lu Buwei nodded happily:
"Of course!"
"The world is in chaos today. It has only been two years since the Five Kingdoms' war against Qin. All countries are still eyeing our Great Qin. It is not safe outside Xianyang City. This is a rock wall!"
"If the king leaves the city to see us off, he will be standing under the rock wall, which will bring disaster."
Ying Zheng nodded in realization, and then brought the topic back, sincerely Ask.
“What do you think, Father Zhong, what should I do?”
Lu Buwei did not want Ying Zheng to leave the palace.
Lu Buwei can be sure that someone among the Korean relatives must want to assassinate Ying Zheng!
Once Ying Zheng dies, the throne will be in suspense, and both Ying Chengyu and Ying Fusu will have a chance.
But they do have a chance. Lu Buwei, who only secured the position of prime minister because of his identity as Ying Zheng Zhong's father, has no chance, let alone realize any ideals.
However, Lu Buwei also didn't want to dampen Ying Zheng's enthusiasm for learning. This was the first time Ying Zheng had learned "Lu's Spring and Autumn" and put it into practice. He couldn't let Ying Zheng return without success, right?
After a little thought, Lu Buwei came up with a compromise:
"The king can send Lord Chang'an to the city gate."
"Now the army has gathered outside the city, and the king is here You can also review the whole army and the brotherhood at the city gate."
Ying Zheng was overjoyed and handed over.
“Thank you, Xiangbang!”
Immediately, Ying Zheng quickly stepped off the high platform, took Ying Chengyu's arm, and shouted happily:
"Brother Wang, I am sending you out of the city to make a strong trip for you!"
Ying Cheng Yu had a bright smile:
“This is a blessing for all the soldiers in the army!”
Looking at the two brothers holding their arms and walking out, Lu Buwei couldn’t help but smile and murmured softly:< br>
"After all, I am still a child at heart."
Standing up, Lu Buwei looked at the ministers and said loudly:
"My colleagues, the king personally sent Lord Chang'an to prepare for the expedition for the soldiers. This is the act of a benevolent king.”
“As ministers, we should accompany you and protect the king!”
All the courtiers immediately handed over:
"I just want to go together!"
They wanted to come together, but Ying Zheng didn't want to take them with him.
Instructing Meng Tian to lead the servants around him, Ying Zheng isolated Lu Buwei and others from himself.
After confirming that there were no outsiders around, Ying Chengyu smiled and teased:
“Use Yudi’s expedition as an opportunity to win the favor of the prime minister.”
"Brother Wang, you have to make it up to your foolish brother!"
