The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 65

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Yingzheng finished processing the memorial on the table, saw that it was not too late, thought for a while, went to the Shadow Secret Guard, called Zhao Qingshan away, left the palace gate, and went to Changge Hou Fu went.

"What kind of person is Fu Nian?" Ying Zheng asked Zhao Qingshan.

"Well, it's hard to say, Mr. Fu Nian is refined and respectful, so he is considered a gentleman!" Zhao Qingshan said after thinking for a moment.

Although Fu Nian has only been in the Hou Mansion for a few days, he likes to be clean and never socializes with others. There are many people who come to the Hou Mansion to visit Fu Nian these days, but they are all rejected by Fu Nian, including the young master Fu Su.

"Gentleman? In the court of Qin State, Zhang Yi, Fan Yong and others have a place to stand, and there are also places for unknown people, but it has never been a place for a gentleman to fight hard."

Ying Zheng said playfully: "In this way, I am even more curious why Ying Xuan insisted on recommending Fu Nian. Zhao Qingshan, do you know why?"

"Master Hou has always been unconstrained in his work, so I can figure it out." Zhao Qingshan said humbly, and placed Ying Xuan in a very high position.

"It doesn't matter, I never expected that members of the Great Qin Imperial Clan could be as capable as Ying Xuan, otherwise I wouldn't need Ying Xuan to come out to support me today."

Zhao Qingshan answered no, and it was no if he didn't answer, so he could only pinch and poke, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"The Daqin royal family has been too ostentatious recently, which has caused some people's dissatisfaction. They mentioned it in oblique ways in front of me a few times."

Ying Zheng calmly reminded Zhao Qingshan and said: "Let Ji Zhi and Zhao Lang learn more from Ying Xuan. He has achieved great success at a young age, but he is unknown. There are very few people who know him. It is not a bad idea to keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Good choice."

Zhao Qingshan was terrified. He didn't know whether Ying Zheng's words were to remind the Qin royal family to restrain their edge or to warn the royal family not to be arrogant, so they could only bite the bullet and accept Ying Zheng's words.

"The minister must pass on His Majesty's words to the two Patriarchs."

Along the way, Yingzheng watched Xianyang's local conditions and customs with great interest. After staying in the palace for so long, he could barely remember what Xianyang City looked like.

Yingxuan's mansion is not in Nancheng, where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather, but in Xicheng, which is sparsely populated. It is close to the prison of Qin State, and very few powerful families live here.

The two walked and chatted, and arrived at the Changgehou Mansion not long after. There were children of the Daqin Royal Family guarding the gate, and ordinary people could not easily enter the Marquis Mansion through the gate.

But Zhao Qingshan is a person close to Yingxuan, and he is the most favored by Yingxuan among the Great Qin royal family, so the person on duty at the gate knows Zhao Qingshan.

And Yingzheng is even more expensive. Even wearing ordinary clothes, it still can't hide the aura of a superior person. Most of the children of the Daqin royal family have never seen Yingzheng, but they did not stop him when they were accompanied by Zhao Qingshan.

"Is Mr. Fu Nian here?" Knowing that Ying Zheng came to see Fu Nian, Zhao Qingshan asked straight to the point.

"In the backyard, little Princess Yingrou has just arrived, and she insists on pestering Mr. Fu Nian to teach her martial arts. I don't know if she has finished practicing?"

"Okay, you guys pay attention, don't relax." Zhao Qingshan asked, then returned to Ying Zheng's side, and said, "It's in the backyard, let me take you there!"

When Ying Zheng walked to the backyard, he saw Fu Nian, Zhang Liang and Ying Rou on the school field from a distance. At the same time, Fu Nian also noticed Ying Zheng's arrival.

"Cao Min pays respects to His Majesty!"

"Grassman Zhang Liang pays homage to His Majesty!"

"My son, Yingrou, pays homage to the royal father!"

"Stay flat, I just came to see Mr. Fu Nian, no need to be polite!"

Ying Zheng walked to the table in front of the three of them, took the main seat, and motioned for the three to sit down and talk.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Rou who was sitting stiffly beside Fu Nian. She was wearing a cute skirt, and her small face with pink makeup and jade was full of anxiety, which made Ying Zheng fall in love with her.

Ying Rou has a good foundation, and she has already tempered her body well under Ying Xuan's teaching. In her dantian, there is a faint form of acquired energy, and she is not far away from embarking on the road of a warrior.

"The foundation is good, the journey of martial arts is the most difficult, you need to persevere, and you must not give up halfway."

Ying Zheng said with satisfaction: "If you need anything, you can ask Father, or you can go directly to the Golden Chamber and Stone Chamber to find it. No one will embarrass you."

The Qin State swallowed up the six kingdoms, confiscated the books from all over the world, and transported them to Xianyang. The number of books from the six kingdoms was far greater than that of the Zhou royal family.

Ying Zheng ordered Zhang Cang and others to sort out the books, write them uniformly in Xiaozhuan, and hide them in the stone room. The cabinet where the books are collected is also called the Golden Chamber, so the place where Qin books are collected is also called the Golden Chamber and Stone Room.

The outer stone room gathered books from all over the world, and the inner stone room kept many isolated copies. When Fu Nian heard Ying Zheng's words, he even gave Ying Rou an envious look.

Seeing that Yingrou didn't know how powerful it was, Zhao Qingshan hurriedly urged, "Little princess, don't thank me yet."

"My son thanked my father!" Ying Rou realized later, and Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing.

"But I don't want to study, I just want to walk."

Before the smile on Ying Zheng's face could bloom, he heard Ying Rou's innocent voice.

"Oh, why?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Because Uncle Huang said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. If you see a lot, you will naturally understand some truths."

"Hahahahaha!" Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Ying Xuan can indeed say such things, but the premise is that you can read. When you understand that day, go to the Golden Chamber and Stone Chamber to read!"

Ying Zheng smiled, looked at Fu Nian and Zhang Liang, his face became serious, and said: "Confucianism is a famous school among hundreds of scholars. I came here this time just to hear your opinions."

"Confucianism believes that the people are more important than the monarch, and the society is second. If the two can persuade me, Qin will follow the benevolent government of Confucianism."

Yingzheng said domineeringly that governing a country cannot be explored overnight, but it is worth a try if you can persuade a king.

But to Yingzheng's surprise, Fu Nian did not explain the meaning of Confucian benevolent government to Yingzheng, but frowned and said nothing illegal.

"Mr. Fu Nian, what's the meaning of this?" Ying Zheng said playfully, "Don't you want to tell me about your Confucian benevolent government?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood," Fu Nian said with a sigh, "Fu Nian only understands the benevolence of benevolent government, but he doesn't understand the benevolent government, so he dare not speak falsely about benevolent government."

Yingzheng's eyes were shining brightly. From this sentence alone, it can be seen that Fu Nian is indeed extraordinary, far beyond the comparison of ordinary Confucian scholars.

"Since you don't understand benevolent government, why did you come to Xianyang?" Ying Zheng said feigned displeasure.

"It is precisely because he does not know the principles of benevolent government that Fu Nian entered Xianyang to serve in Qin Dynasty. The benevolence of benevolent government is the benevolence of a gentleman. Loyalty, righteousness, courtesy, trustworthiness, wisdom and filial piety. Do what you don't want, and don't do it to others."

"The government of benevolence is the government of harmony between the people. However, in the century of Confucianism, no one has made a prince or worshiped a minister. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin Dynasty, no princes have used the law of benevolent government. The words of politics are not good, and they dare not talk about benevolent government." Fu Nian said regretfully.

"There is no benevolent leader in troubled times, and benevolent government is naturally impractical. The land marked by the sword's edge is the truth. Implementing benevolent government in the Spring and Autumn Period is undoubtedly playing with fire and setting yourself on fire." Ying Zheng nodded and said.

"Now that Kyushu is one and the world is under Qin, Marquis Changge Wu said that it is a good time to implement benevolent government, so Fu Nian came to Xianyang to let His Majesty implement benevolent government." Fu Nian said.

"You don't understand government affairs, how can I trust you?" Ying Zheng remained unmoved, "How can Qin State and society be a joke?"

"Leaving aside your majesty's concerns as an emperor, I believe that your majesty will not deny that Confucian benevolent government is the closest to the country's prosperity and people's peace?" Fu Nian asked Ying Zheng without any fear.

"and then?"

"The new benevolent government needs time to verify and improve. Naturally, it won't work on paper, so it needs to be gradually improved by the Qin government."

"Let me hand over the Qin Kingdom to you, Fu Nian, to test the waters first?" Ying Zheng said with a frown.

"Fu Nian only needs one county to implement the new benevolent government. After three years, His Majesty will make his own decision."

Fu Nian knew Yingzheng's concerns, so it was naturally impossible to implement benevolent government across the country immediately, and even Yingzheng might not care about benevolent government at all.

"One county, three years? It's not impossible."

Yingzheng thought for a moment, if Fu Nian could really combine the "benevolence" advocated by Confucianism with the "government" pursued by the emperor, it might be impossible to create a glorious and prosperous world.

"How will Mr. Fu Nian govern the county?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"Law governs the world, Confucianism enlightens."

"Qin law constructs rules, enlightenment defines morality, law restricts behavior, and morality makes it reasonable. If you understand the principles, you will abide by the law, and if you abide by the laws, you will not violate morality." Fu Nian said.

"Qin law is unreasonable, and education is difficult. How can you explain it, sir?"

"The kingly way is not enough, supplemented by domineering, and then you can understand the Qin law and be able to educate;"

"Qin Fatong, enlightenment, and the way of kingship, eliminates domineering."

Fu recited every word and every word, Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard it, and couldn't help but applaud.

"The talent of Mr. Han Fei is incomparable, and the land that governs a county is so talented."

Yingzheng said: "Jiaodong, Linzi, Chengyang, Jibei, Xuelu (Xuejun), the old lands of Qi, have a Confucian style. These five counties will be handed over to Mr. for three years. After three years, if the benevolent government is successful, I have already taken the position of prime minister to welcome you back to Xianyang, and the whole state of Qin must be benevolent."

"Thank you Your Majesty, Fu Nian will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
