Chapter 24 Conspiracy in South Korea
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was ridiculous for a noble lady to sit in an elegant pavilion isolated from the world, and talk about the way of governing the country with a group of high-ranking, well-born scholar-officials.

Although she is a descendant of the Yue Kingdom, she is worth a lot of money after all. Just looking at this Yahu Xiaozhu, one can tell that she lives a luxurious life and her contacts are not ordinary people.Has she ever walked into the homes of the people at the bottom?Do you understand the hardships of their lives?Not to mention the cruelty of the frontier fortress fighting with other races.

Xiang Shaolong said: "I have just been appointed as Prime Minister of the Left, and I haven't done anything practical yet, so now it's just empty talk."

Ji Yanran keenly sensed that he was mocking her for playing tricks, and suddenly felt displeased, feeling that this little dragon looked down on her.

But Ji Yanran's self-cultivation is still top-notch, she doesn't show her face, she said with a coquettish smile: "One must have an idea in order to have a direction to do things. Qiang Qin has gradually become stronger since Shang Yang's reform, and General Xiang also advocates rule of law? "

Xiang Shaolong didn't want to argue with her, and he was not an eloquent person, so he reluctantly said: "There are no rules, there must be clear rules for people to follow."

Ji Yanran said: "The Master said: To govern with virtue, such as Beichen, who lives in his place and surrounded by stars. Dao is governed by politics, and equal by punishment, and the people are free from shame. Dao is based on virtue, equal by propriety, Shameful."

Xiang Shaolong didn't understand her words at all, but he seemed to be talking about "ruling by virtue", so he could only say: "Everyone is a saint, of course there is no need for laws, but the reality is not like this. Guan Zi also said: Canglin is true Knowing etiquette, having enough food and clothing, knowing honor and disgrace. Nowadays, the countries are constantly conquering, the people are poor, and they can’t even eat. How can you be a saint, and which saint is hungry.”

Ji Yanran heard that Xiang Shaolong was perfunctory with a little teasing, and continued: "Master said: If you give good courtesy, the people will not dare to disrespect; if you give good righteousness, then the people will not dare to disobey; if you give good faith, then the people will not dare to disobey." Don't be sympathetic. This is the way of the king. If you take the punishment yourself, what will happen to the people? How to ensure that those in power will not use the criminal law to oppress the people?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Zi said: Don't say what I said in every word. You have been dead for hundreds of years, don't we have an opinion? If you do anything, think about what you said first. "

Seeing that Xiang Shaolong doubted Confucius' words, Ji Yanran asked in surprise: "Is the general doubting the saint?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Where did the sage come from? It is better to have no books than to believe in books. The society is always developing, how can the way of governing the country remain unchanged. Productivity determines the production relationship, and the economic base determines the superstructure. Times change, and reforms are appropriate. Besides, what he said may not necessarily be correct at the time.”

Ji Yanran half-understood Xiang Shaolong's words, as if she understood what he meant, but her words were novel.But he repeatedly denied the words of the sage, and regarded him as a different kind, but the sentence "It is better to have no books than to believe in books" made his eyes shine. This young dragon has also read "Mencius", isn't this also the way of a sage? ?Dao: "The rule of virtue has been practiced for many years and has been widely praised. It was not until recent years that Legalism emerged."

Xiang Shaolong said: "It has been practiced for so many years, and I have not seen how well the world is governed. Now it is not divided, and the people are in dire straits. Since Shang Yang's reform, I have established the country with laws and become stronger day by day. Facts speak louder than words, and practice is the test of truth. sole standard."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yanran felt a sense of enlightenment.In the past, debates with famous people all over the world were wonderful, but they were all empty talk after all.Seeing that this little dragon is different from the talented people he has seen before, he is too lazy to talk and likes to take practical actions.

Ji Yanran bowed and said: "Yanran has been taught. After listening to the general's words, I realized that the past is superficial. The general thinks that the rule of virtue is not good, but the disadvantages of the legal system are also foreseeable. The superiors exercise power and oppress the people. What does the general think about this?" ?”

Xiang Shaolong saw that this beauty is not finished yet, she is addicted to chattering, this is it, he himself said to practice, if he wants to know what to do, he will be born to be an official, it can't solve the problem, just think about it, but he has to continue Going on, he said: "This is not a problem of the legal system, but a problem of the enforcement of the legal system. If everyone can live within the framework of the law, and the king breaks the law, he is also guilty of the same crime as the common people, so there will be no such problems."

Ji Yanran was shocked when she heard the words, and said, "How is this possible? The monarchy is supreme, and it has been since ancient times."

Xiang Shaolong said: "If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future; if it doesn't work in 100 years, it doesn't mean it won't work in 1000 years. As I said, society is developing, so we need to look at problems from the perspective of development. Miss Ji was just born. She didn't know anything back then, but now she is a world-renowned talented woman. You, me, and this society are all advancing with the times. If Ms. Ji is interested, you might as well go to poor families and listen to their plight , or become an official to actually solve their problems. The poverty of one or two families can be relieved by charity, but how to solve the poverty of the whole world is what the superiors should think about. Regardless of the rule of virtue or the rule of law, in the end it is the issue of people's livelihood .”

Ji Yanran had a conversation with Xiang Shaolong today, and the inspiration she received was far better than before, and she also looked at Xiang Shaolong with admiration, and said: "Ji Yanran has benefited a lot from hearing the general's high opinion, and I will invite the general to come to my school when I have the opportunity." I will discuss politics with you talented scholars."

Xiang Shaolong didn't understand why this beauty was so keen on discussing politics, so he shook his head and said, "I'm not a wit, and I don't know how to debate, and I'll be back in Daqin soon. Ms. Ji might as well go to Daqin for a tour if you have time, Look at the different customs and customs, and how it is different from this Great Wei. If you walk around and see, you will gain more. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people. Miss Ji is as famous as she is, and she is also a talented woman with a lot of education, if Miss Ji can come, I think Mrs. Qin will be very happy."

Ji Yanran looked at Xiang Shaolong's mention of Qin Qing and seemed to be laughing along with her eyes, which was quite different from her attitude towards herself.Although I don't have any friendship with this little dragon, a beautiful woman can snub you, but you can't help but take a beautiful woman seriously.Those who surround the beauties, the beauties may not remember, but those who do not surround the beauties, the beauties will definitely remember.Of course, you also have to be talented. If you are a passerby, the beauty will never remember you anyway.What's more, Ji Yanran immediately became jealous when a beautiful woman mentioned another beautiful woman with delighted eyes, and could even issue invitations for her.But he still smiled sweetly and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely pay a visit to Master Qin."

Looking at the back of Xiang Shaolong leaving, thinking about Xiang Shaolong's incisive remarks in his heart, he felt that Xiang Shaolong was indeed the number one strange man in the world, and the person he had seen was second to none.Thinking of Qin Qing who can be admired by Xiang Shaolong, what kind of woman is this?Really want to meet and compete, so that this little dragon doesn't take himself seriously.

Xiang Shaolong really didn't know that he could offend a beautiful woman in this way.This Ji Yanran is beautiful and has an excellent temperament, but her personality is not like Qin Qing's and her temper.Here I am more like a groupie meeting a big star, and after seeing a big star, I have to live my own life.

Before leaving, he went to bid farewell to King Wei, this time King Wei summoned Xiang Shaolong alone.

King Wei said mockingly: "I have recalled Lord Xinling, General Xiang can go back with peace of mind."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Everyone can rest assured. I am also thinking of the king. Mr. Wuji's prestige and talent are all first-class in the six eastern countries, and he has always been committed to the integration of the three Jins. king?"

King Wei said calmly, "The integration of the Three Jins into one is not what Qin wants to see."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course, the integration of the three Jins will definitely stop my Great Qin from advancing, but it will not affect the foundation of my Great Qin. Moreover, if Mr. Wuji wants to merge the Three Jins through marriage, I am afraid that he also wants to rely on his own prestige. Go to the top."

King Wei snorted coldly: "It's not his turn to be the king no matter how merged."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "What the king said is, why do we have to rely on marriage. In fact, the most uncontroversial way is to annex by force, and the winner is king!"

Wei Wangdao: "You want us to kill each other, Wei has not yet the strength to merge the three Jins by force. Besides, other countries will not watch us merge, otherwise we even occupied HD City back then, not in the Qi people Retreat under pressure, don't be delusional."

Xiang Shaolong said: "The State of Wei is the most powerful of the Three Jins, and the merger of the Three Jins will indeed face the pressure of other countries. The integration of the Three Jins does not have to be accomplished overnight. South Korea's national strength is weak, and it survives in the gap between Wei and Qin. , it is not as good as Qin and Wei sending troops at the same time, and destroying him before other countries react, which is the first step towards the integration of the three Jins."

At this moment, Xiang Shaolong remembered the spoils agreement between the Soviet Union and Germany during World War II, and together they divided up Poland, which is very similar to the current situation of Qin, Wei, and Han.

King Wei's heart was shocked, and he made a bold proposal, saying: "Will other countries watch us destroy Korea?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "With South Korea's strength, it is impossible to stop Qin and Wei from sending troops at the same time. By the time other countries want to intervene, the war has already ended. Can they really avenge South Korea? When the time comes, they will have to face each other." That’s right, Qin and Wei, who would dare to fight with us at the same time. Of course, if Wei doesn’t want to take Qin with him, he can send troops to South Korea alone, and Wei doesn’t want to destroy South Korea. We, Qin, won’t attack South Korea alone. Those who use the army, so as not to face the multinational coalition again. Of course, I am just a suggestion. Your Majesty decides for himself. If you want to bring Qin, you can let me know. If you don’t want to bring Qin, or just want to maintain the status quo, it doesn’t matter to me, Da Qin.”

Xiang Shaolong planted a seed in King Wei's heart. As for what kind of fruit it would bear, just like what Xiang Shaolong said, Daqin doesn't care, if there is an advantage, it will go up, if there is no advantage, it will be pulled down.

When Xiang Shaolong was preparing to return to Qin, an attendant suddenly reported: "General, there is a kid outside the door who claims to be the grandson of Gan Mao and wants to see you."
