Chapter 303 The memory of the dead is attacking Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei’s advice!
Under the starry night, Ying Chengyu took a group of family soldiers and set off eastward.
At the same time, Ying Zheng also drove quickly back to Xianyang Palace.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Ying Zheng asked eagerly: "Where is the memorial of Marquis Wenxin!"
Su Jiao, who was on duty, quickly responded: "Shilang Meng specifically told me, just put it here The top of the bamboo basket ”
Seeing that Ying Zheng had no intention of coming to the bamboo basket to get it, Su Jiao suddenly leaned over, picked out five bamboo tubes from the bamboo basket and placed them on Ying Zheng's desk.
After carefully checking the mud seal letter and confirming that it was intact, Ying Zheng opened the mud seal and poured out the bamboo slips inside.
Unfolding the first scroll of bamboo slips, Ying Zheng saw the familiar font that was no longer familiar.
【Your Majesty, Marquis Wenxin is here in Luoyi to bow down to your Majesty! 】
【Since I left the dynasty, many things have happened in the Qin Dynasty, and a great war has begun. In order to seize the land of Wei, Zhao, Chu, and Yan came to attack, and the world worshiped them. 】
[Great Qin has withstood a great battle and proved to the world that even if Great Qin has been fighting for a long time, it is still not something that can be coveted by other heroes. I congratulate Great Qin! 】
【Chang'an Lord destroyed the country twice, which is enough to prove that he is an unparalleled general. I congratulate Chang'an Lord! 】
【Your Majesty’s ambition has been further realized. Not only did he follow the ambition of the previous kings to leave Hangu, but he also seized the fertile land of the Central Plains for our Qin Territory. I congratulate you, Your Majesty! 】
A smile appeared at the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth unconsciously: "How could Marquis Wenxin say such beautiful words?"
"It's not that Marquis Wenxin doesn't know how to speak, it's just that he doesn't know how to speak." I would like to say so!”
Seeing Lu Buwei's praise, Ying Zheng felt as if he had drank a bowl of hot soup, his internal organs were ironed, and his heart felt refreshed!
What if Lu Buwei praised him like this throughout the article, and then expressed his feelings about his aging, and finally thought that he was too old to control the fiefdom, and voluntarily handed Luoyi and Lantian back to the court.
Although Ying Zheng will still be cold and wary of Lu Buwei in terms of external performance, he may be willing to allow Lu Buwei to escape unscathed, and even give him some respect.
However, Lu Buwei did not retreat with all his might!
【Of course, winter and summer cannot be separated, grass and crops cannot be divided into two parts, new grain is ripe but old grain is lost, anyone with horns has no upper teeth, trees with abundant fruits are bound to grow, and those who use wisdom cannot The success is as great as the heavens! 】
[Therefore, the emperor is not in perfection, not in extreme, not in surplus. If it is complete, it will be lacking; if it is extreme, it will be reversed; if it is full, it will be lost. The ancient king knew that things cannot be divided into two categories, so he chose his tasks and dealt with them appropriately! 】
When he saw the first words of these bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's mind had automatically filled in the following words.
Winter and summer cannot form at the same time, and weeds and crops cannot grow together. When the new grain matures, the old grain must have been in short supply.
Any animal with horns has no upper teeth, trees with many fruits must grow low, and people with narrow ideas will not succeed in doing things. These are the laws of nature.
So when the emperor does things, he does not do them perfectly, nor does he do them extremely, nor does he do them satisfactorily. Perfection will turn to deficiency, extreme will turn to its opposite, and fullness will turn to loss.
The late king knew that things cannot develop and grow in both directions at the same time, so he had to choose things and only do what was suitable for him.
This is the saying in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals·Bugou Lun·Bo Zhi". It is also the truth that Lu Buwei taught him when he was ten years old. It is also the origin of the idiom "things must turn to the extreme".
With Lu Buwei leaving the court, Ying Zheng deliberately forgot "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and Lu Buwei's previous teachings.
But everything he had written down during those years of hard study rushed back to Ying Zheng’s brain with a memorial from Lu Buwei!
Ying Zheng's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
[Your Majesty, don’t be too extreme when doing things, choose your tasks! 】
【The newly attached land is called the Great Qin Territory, and it cannot be used by Qin. 】
[Although the newly acquired people are young and strong, they do not have the bravery of the old Qin warriors, and they still need years of training. 】
【However, thousands of people from Han and Wei poured into the Qin Dynasty, and all kinds of people, thoughts, forces, and demands have actually affected and dragged down the entire Qin Dynasty. 】
【Today's Qin Dynasty seems to be in a raging fire, but in fact it is in danger. 】
[I know that the king must intend to continue to expand the territory of Qin after a brief rest. 】
【However, the internal chaos in Da Qin is the top priority! 】
【The arrow is fast, but it stops within two miles. 】
【The step is too late, but the hundred sacrifices will not stop! 】
【King! 】
【Slow down! Please, Your Majesty, please slow down! 】
[First deal with the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty, eliminate the contradictions between all parties, cultivate talents for later use, teach all the people to respect Qin's orders, know Qin's will, and admire Qin's kindness. Only when Qin's internal problems are eliminated can the Great Qin be restored. Seize territory. 】
【If we don’t act like this, what if we, the Qin Dynasty, dominate the world? 】
【It will only leave a lot of trouble! 】
【Once there is no king to control it, all disasters will surely occur, causing our mountains and rivers in Daqin to be shattered and our sacrifices to be extinct! 】
The handwriting of the last few words was obviously darker, and Lu Buwei was obviously quite excited when he wrote this paragraph.
And the one who was more excited than him was Ying Zheng!
"Presumptuous!"
Ying Zheng threw the bamboo slips to the ground angrily, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back: "Do you think that my country, Qin, will be full of trouble?"
" He said that if the few people die, then the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed?”
Ying Zheng suddenly took out his right hand and pointed at the bamboo slip that fell to the ground, and said angrily: "It is the way of the emperor not to be complete, not to be extreme, not to be surplus."
"But how can you threaten the king? This is the way to be a minister!"
If Li Si were here, he would definitely be able to see the core of Ying Zheng through his angry appearance.
If Ying Zheng felt that everything Lu Buwei said was wrong, Ying Zheng would just laugh it off and even lament that Lu Buwei was really old.
It is precisely because Ying Zheng recognized Lu Buwei's analysis that Ying Zheng was so angry.
But while approving it, Ying Zheng was resisting, resisting, and unwilling to accept Lu Buwei's analysis!
After the death of Han Dynasty, the powerful people of Han Dynasty were plowed by Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng successively, and there were not many people left who could be called Tao.
However, after the fall of Wei, Ying Chengyu was too late to go on a killing spree, leaving behind many old Wei forces.
Ying Zheng can already feel the impending moves of these forces, and can clearly feel the pressure that the doubling of territory has put on all aspects of Da Qin.
Da Qin can withstand these pressures for the time being.
But if Da Qin really dominates the world, how much pressure will Da Qin and Ying Zheng bear?
Ying Zheng doesn’t know.
Because the last person who started from a vassal state to dominate the world has been dead for eight hundred years!
Now Lu Buwei has given Ying Zheng a verdict.
What if Da Qin really hits the target of domination of the world like a sharp arrow.
If Ying Zheng collapses, Great Qin will perish!
Unfortunately, Li Si had already been promoted to Jiuqing, and Meng Tian was sleeping soundly. The only one left in the imperial study was Su Jiao, who had just taken office a few days ago.
He had no idea why Ying Zheng was so angry. He just looked at Ying Zheng nervously and carefully, not knowing whether he should step forward to persuade or pick up the bamboo slips.
Seeing Su Jiao's bewildered look, Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Get out!"
If Su Jiao was pardoned, he quickly handed over his hand: "Wei!"
Driving Su Jiao away, Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, picked up the bamboo slips, put them on the desk, and opened the second bamboo tube.
【In today's world, Qin is the only strong one. 】
【However, the strength of diplomacy is not only determined by strength. 】
【The king of Zhao is brave, but his prime minister Guo Kai is very selfish. 】
[King Yan of Zhao once sent Guo Kai to invite his ministers to join Zhao, but Guo Kai's words were often evasive and his refusal was obvious. 】
【Zhao Wang Yanli moved to the crown prince. He was incompetent, the officials were not happy, and the officials looked at him as an unwise master. 】
【I thought that I could encourage Guo Kai to assassinate King Yan of Zhao and support Zhao Qian to succeed him as soon as possible. In this way, Qin would become stronger and Zhao would become weaker. 】
【Today's internal disadvantage in Chu lies in the struggle for power. As far as I know, Prince Chu of Chu intends to seize the throne of King Chu, and I, the Prime Minister of Qin Dynasty, Bangqi, also intend to seize this position. 】
【I ask the king to take action secretly, so that the three parties can check and balance, so that Chu will always be in internal fighting. In this way, Qin will become stronger and Chu will become weaker. 】
[Yan...]
Based on today's world, combined with all the intelligence he received, Lu Buwei reorganized the diplomatic policies and starting points for Ying Zheng.
In the next three volumes of bamboo slips, Lu Buwei carefully and conscientiously analyzed and advised Yingzheng from multiple perspectives such as internal affairs, people's livelihood, and law.
I am afraid that Ying Zheng will have difficulty understanding it if he is not around to explain.
Lu Buwei can be said to have broken his idea into pieces, chewed it up, and brought it to the most suitable temperature for eating before passing it to Ying Zheng's mouth.
The more he looked, the more complicated Ying Zheng's eyes became.
After reading the last bamboo slip, Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Father Zhong."
"I am no longer the child I used to be!"
Looking at From the words written by Lu Buwei on the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng could feel the deep concern that Lu Buwei had engraved on the bamboo slips.
But, this is not what Ying Zheng wants!
Touching the ink marks on the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng murmured: "My ancestors were brave, my ancestors were brave, and I ask myself that I am not inferior to my ancestors."
"My great Qin kings are all heroic, but they do not represent my descendants. We can also be brave."
"I can't believe that heaven will favor me again and give me a wise master of the Qin Dynasty!"
"I don't want to see a evil obstacle destroy my Qin Dynasty for several generations! The king’s accumulated national power has been squandered!”
“What I want is to rule the world with only one person!”
Instead of leaving the pressure to others, Ying Zheng only believed in himself.
So Ying Zheng only needs advice on how to consolidate his internal affairs while helping him sweep through the six countries.
For Ying Zheng, apart from the diplomatic policy, Lu Buwei's painstaking efforts to write ten thousand words of advice are useless!
After a few breaths of silence, Ying Zheng rolled up the bamboo slips again, stored them in a bamboo tube, and hid them under the table.
As soon as all this was done, Su Jiao's low voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, in half an hour it will be time for the court meeting."
"Your Majesty, do you want to take a nap?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Time flies by so fast!
Yesterday's memorial has not been approved yet, and the content to be discussed today has not been thought through.
How can I have time to sleep!
Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Send the memorial to the three gongs and nine ministers to come in!"
"Let Shang Shiling bring a bowl of hot soup."
Did not choose to take advantage of this time to sleep for a while, Ying Zheng did not choose to take advantage of this time to take a nap. Zheng Zheng took the time to process the memorial, and finally completed all the preparations before the officials entered.
"Meet the King!" As they shouted, many courtiers noticed that Ying Zheng's crown robe was wrinkled.
Ying Zheng returned the gift and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
After ordering the ministers to sit down, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Can anything be found out about Prince Yan falling into the water last night?"
Li Si immediately stepped forward and handed over his hand: "I have submitted the king's order to investigate it all night."
"I found out that the ranger last night was from Zhao Di, Xing Hu."
"This man was once a guest of Zhao Xiangkai. He was expelled because he was addicted to alcohol but often made trouble after drinking. . ”
“After leaving Zhao, this man traveled around the world. Hearing about the benevolence and righteousness of Prince Yan, he entered Qin and went to Prince Yan.”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
Guo Kai’s former hanger-on?
Does Guo Kai have any reason to assassinate Yan Dan?
There is a reason.
If Yan Dan died in Qin, the alliance between Qin and Yan would be difficult to survive, and Zhao could continue to attack Yan to gain territory.
But Ying Zheng thought that this matter would not be so simple, so he continued to ask: "Can his family members be found?"
Li Si shook his head: "This family member is still in Zhao, and it may be difficult to find them."
The family members are also in Zhao, so the suspicion of Zhao is even greater.
Ying Zheng commanded in a deep voice: "It is hard to find, but you should look for it."
"Prince Yan is in danger in our Qin Dynasty, our Qin Dynasty will investigate and find out the truth for him!"
Feeling Ying Zheng's firm attitude, Li Si's heart condensed and he handed over his hands with a bang: "Wei!"
Li Si entered the queue, the ministers presented, and the court meeting started as usual.
However, when the sky was getting bright and the court meeting was about to end, Meng Tian quickly stepped inside and reported in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, all the foreigners are gathering outside the palace gate!"
