Chapter 299 Your Majesty Has Moved Li Chu's Mind

That's the way it is.

Many things, many times, have nothing to do with whether you are willing to take responsibility, whether you dare to die generously, before you decide to make a dangerous move, it must be doomed, there will be countless People were dragged down by your decision and paid a heavy price.

Qu Gai endured the humiliation and took revenge for the country. It cannot be said that he was wrong, but before he decided to make a desperate fight against Zhao Ying, didn't he really think that this move would implicate many people related to him?

This kind of thing can no longer be pursued.

The fact is that after this incident broke out, all the people who had made friends with Qu Gai before and provided him with help and convenience suffered disaster one after another.

To concoct an excellent bow and crossbow, the production cycle is very long, and many materials needed, such as beef tendons, are prohibited items in this era.

For example, beef tendons, horns, cowhide, etc., all have strict processing procedures.

Whoever’s cattle died, and how they died, must be reported in time, and then officials sent by the Yamen will come to the door to check and verify in person, and then they can slaughter them. The people are allowed to buy and sell freely.

Under such circumstances, it is not an easy task to obtain materials for making crossbows, especially such excellent crossbows.

But wealth can pass through the gods, and there is no absolute.

In any era, there are always some people who can bypass the system and get something that ordinary people can't get.

This kind of thing, as long as people are still in charge, cannot be completely banned.

For this kind of situation, the people above know it well, as long as you don't be too arrogant, and don't go too far, no one will chase after you and hold you tight.But the problem is that you don't have any accidents, especially not major ones.Once things like the assassination of the first emperor and the eldest grandson of the emperor come out, no one should run away!

All those who have raised their hands and given the green light for this matter can almost be regarded as accomplices!
The cost of this is unimaginable.

Under the full investigation of the Black Ice Terrace, no one can hide the secret, even if you can hide it, others can bite you out.For this reason, there are countless people who have destroyed their families.

Many people, not even taking it seriously, have completely forgotten about it.

But someone can help you remember!
In the past few days, the family members of the prisoners knelt in front of the eldest son's mansion and begged every day, bleeding from their foreheads.Zhao Ying didn't see any of these people. In the end, he was so annoyed that he called the officers and soldiers in charge of public security in Xianyang County to expel them directly.

poor person must have something mean.

Back then, if he had been shot to death by random crossbows, none of the people kneeling today would be innocent.

……

Zhangtai Palace.

Seeing His Royal Highness the eldest grandson striding away, Hei couldn't help turning his head to look at Shi Huangdi who was at the side, hesitating again and again, but still couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, is there really no need for me to intervene?"

Having said this, Hei's tone paused, and he secretly glanced at Shi Huangdi's reaction, seeing that Shi Huangdi's expression was as usual, he cautiously persuaded him.

"Your Highness is young after all, and has always been kind..."

The First Emperor waved his hand and said calmly.

"It's okay, let's take a look-I want to see, my grandson, in this situation, how will I choose..."

Hei heard the words, silently retracted his gaze, and stopped talking.

However, the eyes that looked outside the hall from time to time were filled with a trace of unnoticeable worry.

The eldest grandson of the emperor is benevolent and loving and kind to others. This was originally one of the things he admired the eldest grandson the most, but at this moment, he hopes more than ever that the eldest grandson of the emperor can be more cruel and hard-hearted.

Because, he has been with the First Emperor for decades, and he knows better than anyone else what his Majesty's thoughts are.

Today's actions seem to be calm, but they are actually dangerous.

Once the grandson of the emperor makes a mistake, it may lead to many unpredictable changes.

……

At this moment, Zhao Ying didn't know what he was about to face today.

He came out of the palace, went to Jiangshan Sheji Division step by step, and went around to see the progress of Jiangshan Sheji Division's work.The coordinator, Miss Wei Weiyang, was temporarily transferred to the palace to compile classics, but there were two supervisors around, and all affairs were in order.

Seeing that Mr. Chunyuyue was also there, we chatted a few more words in the past.

The old man is very busy now.

Recently, the old gentleman has been busy sorting out materials collected from various places. Those Daqin storytellers, in addition to promoting Daqin's policies and helping Daqin seize the high ground of local public opinion, are also collecting folk customs from various places.

These first-hand materials are not only reliable materials for understanding people's livelihood and public opinion, but also have great research value.Mr. Chun Yuyue is very scholarly, and recently he has become more and more addicted to these things. He keeps writing every day, faintly intending to follow Confucius's revision of "Poetry".

In addition, he also has to teach and educate people.

Not only do I have to take the time to give lectures in my Xishui Cottage in the west of the city, sit and discuss the Tao, and try my best to spread Confucian ideas, but I also go to the new school in the champion general's mansion from time to time to personally check the learning of the royal children.

Although it is not allowed to specifically teach Confucianism here, it is inclusive, and the theories of various schools are unified, but the more this is the case, the more it cannot be ignored.

If Confucianism wants to rise, seek newness, and change, it must actively seek change, and try to absorb the essence of various schools with a pragmatic spirit.And looking at the whole world, there is no place that can compare with this new school.

It is an extremely rare opportunity for me to be the head of this new school.He regards this as even more important than the lectures at the Stream Cottage.

Therefore, it is an unexpected surprise to meet Chun Yuyue here today.

In the past, the two of them would usually exchange a few polite words, and then Zhao Ying would sit down and read the information the old gentleman had recently compiled, or the article he had written.

Sometimes, I will stop and have a debate with them.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Mr. Chunyu Yue Lao is among other things. This moral article is really written at a very high level, and what is rare is that at such an old age, he does not rest on his laurels, and his articles become more and more pragmatic. , there are already some hints of Legalism, Taoism, and even Mohism in it.

Even for Zhao Ying, it is of great reference significance.

But today, it seems to be different.

"My minister has met His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson—"

Seeing Zhao Ying walking in, Chun Yuyue immediately put down the brush in his hand, stood up, straightened his clothes, and saluted Zhao Ying very formally.

"Today, may His Highness say whether you are benevolent..."

Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the old man with his hands in his hands, and smiled noncommittally.

"You want to speak for those who kneel outside my house every day..."

Chun Yuyue: ...

Zhao Ying's words were too direct, he skipped the stage of exposition that he had painstakingly prepared for a long time, and went directly to the topic, which almost made him unable to understand.

But looking at Zhao Ying's direct gaze, he couldn't force himself to jump back and tell Zhao Ying some principles of benevolence, love and compassion, so he could only nod his head stiffly.

"Your Highness is wise..."

Zhao Ying stopped laughing now, he looked calmly at this Confucian leader, the old gentleman who had successfully brought his own Aunt to the eggplant field, and said indifferently.

"What do you want me to do..."

Mr. Chunyuyue hesitated for a moment, but gave another deep salute with a firm expression.

"Your Highness, please grant mercy..."

Zhao Ying didn't say anything, just looked at him steadily, until Chunyu Yue felt uncomfortable all over and his bowing movements began to deform, then he said calmly.

"The old man is knowledgeable and highly respected. Do you know what you are talking about? As big as a family or as small as a country, there is no morality, and the hearts of the people are devastated. However, without rules, there is no way to make a square, and without laws, there is no way to maintain order." , A country, if the order is chaotic, the country will not be a country."

"Morality is above the law, but the law is the cornerstone of protecting morality and protecting the country!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying was condescending, looking at Chun Yuyue who was bowing himself.

"How can I grant mercy outside the law? Why should I grant mercy outside the law? If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. For example, a thousand-mile long embankment can collapse in an ant nest, and a single spark can start a prairie fire. Today, I am here alone, destroying One law, tomorrow there will be more people under various banners, wanting to be merciful outside the law—"

Having said that, Zhao Ying sneered, looking at Chun Yuyue who looked a little pale.

"Do you think that once my Daqin's law loses its majesty, without its laws, anyone can trample and change it, and who will suffer in the end?"

Having said that, he stood up and walked in front of Chun Yuyue.

"If you don't know, I might as well tell you! Once you get to that point, it's not those dignitaries, nor us princes and grandchildren who will suffer, but those ignorant people who have no power and power, and are humble to the dust. Xiaomin, it is the people you keep calling for benevolence and benevolence..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying snorted coldly.

"Now tell me, where is your Confucian way? Who is the people you love? Or is your so-called benevolence, in the end, just a guise to deceive yourself and others!"

Chunyu Yue was struck by lightning.

He opened his mouth several times to refute, but closed his mouth again several times. For a moment, his mind was full of thoughts, which almost shook the ideals he had insisted on and pursued all these years.

So, benevolence and love others, who do you love?

So, what exactly is compassion?
So, who is the first and who is the complement of the law and morality?

……

For a moment, he lost his mind.

Even when Zhao Ying walked away, he couldn't react.

Zhao Ying originally wanted to go to Tian Ji to have a look. After all, it can be said that there are many difficulties in implementing the ideas of improving seeds that he proposed in this era.

There are many difficulties that cannot be overcome.

But this kind of thing, someone has to try it. As the instigator who brought Tian Ji, a Mohist with such a strong spirit of hard work, to this direction full of great emotions, but in fact it is difficult to achieve any real results. Be a hands-off shopkeeper.

But because of Chunyuyue's affairs, he suddenly lost interest, and simply got up and left Jiangshan Sheji Division.

Hit the horse and go to the recruit camp.

Of course, it is no longer called the Recruit Camp, but the Gentleman Camp.

Compared to old scholars like Chun Yuyue, this group of freshly baked gentlemen are cute. Although they all have high noses and deep eyes, and speak half-baked Guanzhong dialect, they are much more interesting.

Here, no one would persuade him to hold his hands high, and no one would persuade him that as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he must be broad-minded and compassionate.

Everyone drank tea, drank wine, played the piano, played chess, and sometimes clapped hands and laughed, recited a poem, or drew swords and danced.

Then Gu Panzixiong shouted that he would clear up the injustice for His Highness the Emperor Changsun.

Very cute.

Zhao Ying has already thought of sending these people back to Hexi. Hexi has a deep and vast terrain and needs this group of educated, educated and sensible gentlemen.

……

Zhangtai Palace.

Listening to Captain Heibingtai's report, Emperor Shi Huang couldn't help but soften a bit, and couldn't help showing a smile between his brows and eyes.Hei, who is the general manager of the Black Ice Terrace, couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

So far, the performance of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, has been remarkable, fully meeting His Majesty's expectations.

"Your Highness' words are deafening, that pedantic old gentleman Chun Yuyue may not be able to sleep today..."

When Emperor Shihuang heard this, he laughed.

Yun Danfeng waved his hand lightly.

"This stinky boy still understands some simple truths, and all my hard work has not been in vain..."

"Then His Majesty..."

Hei tentatively looked at Shi Huangdi, who waved his hand.

"Don't meddle in it, look again, look again—my country, after all, can't be handed over to a good man with the kindness of a woman..."

Hei quietly retreated and remained silent.

He understands His Majesty's thoughts, so he doesn't persuade him.

Given the current situation that Daqin is facing, the successor of Daqin can be a tyrant or a benevolent monarch. He can be ruthless and unscrupulous. No position, blindly benevolent, almost a woman's benevolence.

His Majesty has moved his mind to study His Highness today, and I am afraid that this is the idea of ​​wanting to establish a reserve.

His eyes passed through the heavy gate of the main hall and looked at the row upon row of palaces outside. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He was not worried about how His Royal Highness would respond, but what would His Majesty do if His Royal Highness made a mistake in responding?
At this moment, Zhao Ying didn't know about this, after spending some time in Junziying, he had recovered his mood, and rode his own dark clouds and snow, and rushed to his mansion freely.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He frowned slightly, reined in the reins on the spot, and subconsciously made a defensive posture.After the last assassination incident, his vigilance has also increased a lot.

Of course, this is not someone's farm outside the city. On the streets of Xianyang City, especially in such a place so close to the imperial palace, the difficulty of assassinating is almost unimaginable.
