Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 505: Fooling Father-in-law
Tian Hao exchanged some ideas with Huang Di Cannian and then went out to bathe and change clothes. Under Hu Ya's service, he put on the Confucian uniform sewn by General Ji himself.

Although it felt a bit strange at first, I have to praise General Ji's craftsmanship. Whether it is the size of each part, the fabric, or the needlework, it is impeccable. It feels unprecedentedly comfortable when worn.

"How are the arrangements for those women going?"

Tian Hao, who moved his hands and feet and felt extremely comfortable, asked.

"Lü Buwei made preparations in advance and made many interior modifications to the palace, which is enough to accommodate 10 people. The resettlement went smoothly and you can just move in directly."

Zhao Ji, who was eating breakfast, replied with a worried expression.

She doesn't like being arranged by her opponents. She always feels like she's falling into a trap. She's too passive.

However, the arrangement yesterday was really good. After people came in, they were taken directly to various palaces to live in. Many Datong bun-type beds have been installed in those palaces.

In addition, the Qin Palace is huge. In the past, there were always 10 to [-] palace guards stationed in the palace. There were also many palace maids and eunuchs. It was not difficult to squeeze in [-] people.

But this is not etiquette, and the old guy obviously has no good intentions.

"Then stay here in the palace."

Tian Hao smiled. He knew that Lu Buwei had plans and could even guess some of them, but it didn't matter. Tian Haoran had no good intentions towards his old father-in-law anyway.

This can be regarded as a kind of retirement care!
It was originally planned to destroy the entire Xianyang City, but now it seems that the palace can be left alone.

Although I didn't think about getting those [-] girls to come over when I first went to South Korea, but now that I've got them, I can use them to make some calculations and create false impressions for some people.

"You all should be careful and don't show any familiarity here, lest others see your flaws."

After giving a final reminder to the girls, Tian Hao left.

Han Fei was already ready, and Li Si also came into the palace to invite them over on behalf of Lu Buwei.

The three of them nodded to each other without saying anything. After leaving the palace, they got on the oversized bronze carriage brought by Li Si and headed to Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion.

With Li Si leading him, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not dare to stop him, and finally took him to Lu Buwei's study.

As soon as Tian Hao entered, he saw his old father-in-law practicing calligraphy. The three of them did not disturb him and waited quietly.

Tian Hao could see that what his old father-in-law wrote was his own Ten Sentences of Haoran. He wrote it very seriously and even had a sense of seriousness. He obviously also liked this set of words very much.
Li Si walked to the side and rear of Lu Buwei. Now that he was on Lu Buwei's side and had a serious official position, he naturally had to stand here first.

After a while, Lu Buwei put down his brush with satisfaction and turned to look at the two people, focusing on Tian.

"Confucian Haoran has met Lu Xiangguo!"

"Confucian Han Fei has met Lu Xiangguo!"

Tian Hao and Han Fei bowed and saluted. After all, they are the prime ministers of a country. They have to give this little face, which is also etiquette.

"As expected of Master Xun's disciple, no wonder he was able to write ten magnificent sentences!"

After looking at it, Lu Buwei admired it very much.

That kind of temperament is very unique, and he is indeed the most proud disciple of Master Xun.

"Lu Xiangguo is too praised!"

Tian Hao replied humbly.

"Can we play chess?"

Lu Buwei asked. He believes that chess games can best see through a person's mind and habits and help to understand a person.

Of course, except for the son-in-law, who is a weirdo and cannot figure it out.

"I prefer tea!"

Looking at the teapot boiling on the small stove beside him, Tian Hao felt a little guilty.

Although his vision has improved a lot, chess skills at a certain level place more emphasis on talent. Obviously, he doesn't have that talent, and he is worried about being exposed in it.

This old guy is not ordinary, so be careful.

"I remember that Brother Haoran has never shown his chess skills."

Li Si whispered to Lu Buwei, saying that the man had never played chess before and his chess skills must not be very good.

“If you haven’t shown it yet, you may be hiding it deeply!”

After saying something meaningful, Lu Buwei gestured to Li Si.

"Then drink tea!"

It doesn't matter whether we play chess or not, the important thing is the conversation that follows.

Li Si walked over and took the stove over, knelt down on the side of the low table, picked up the tea cup and poured four cups of hot tea.

"Tunggu once mentioned your thoughts and ideas, but those were your ideas a few years ago. I wonder if you have gained new insights into this over the years?"

After sitting down, Lu Buwei started the topic and was very interested in someone's philosophy.

Although Li Si mentioned it before, it was only a general framework and not perfect. It was obviously just a prototype of thought that needed further improvement before it could be of value for implementation.

"Traveling among the six countries over the years, I have perfected that idea..."

Tian Hao didn't delay. After drinking a cup of scalding hot tea, he started talking about the political system he had imagined.

In fact, it mainly refers to the constitutional monarchy described in the textbooks of previous lives. Although that thing is not described much in the textbooks, it also reveals the core essence of it.

While retaining the inheritance of royal power, it also restricted the royal power.

As for the degree of restrictions on royal power, it must be determined based on the actual situation.

He is no longer the Tian person he was more than ten years ago, and his accumulated knowledge is enough for him to perfect a political system that looks feasible.

In fact, it is not difficult to improve the political system in nature, at least at the theoretical level. The difficulty is that in order to apply it to reality, you have to consider the interests of all parties and constantly compromise with each other. If this continues, it will inevitably make the originally perfect system The system is skewed and getting more and more crooked.

The systems of those dynasties in China in the previous life were actually not bad, but it was a pity that the greed of people was difficult to suppress, and then they slowly decayed and eventually ended.

He also talked about this concept of constitutional monarchy with Ying Zheng and discussed it together. Based on it, he developed a relatively reasonable system based on the current situation of Qin and the world.

What is being explained to Lu Buwei now is only a part of it, so that it can be integrated later to prevent others from seeing the problem.

Lu Buwei listened very carefully and kept thinking about it. From time to time he would ask about some key points.

After talking like this from morning to night, Tian Hao noticed something was wrong.

Something's not right with my father-in-law. It's okay to be deceived by myself that I haven't been hungry for so long. But after drinking so much tea, can you hold it in?
At the same time, I feel that my father-in-law seems to be in better spirits than before, which is very wrong.

You must know that this father-in-law has not practiced martial arts, his body is just that of an ordinary person, and he is not young at all, so his body will inevitably decline.

But now, although he looks old on the outside, his energy and spirit inside are very extraordinary, at least a little stronger than normal people.

What kind of natural treasures were you taking?Or did you practice some martial arts?Or is it some other reason?
Not right!

“Perfect system!”

After listening to the political system, Lu Buwei praised it and agreed with it.

Although that kind of political system has not been fully understood and it takes a long time to think about it, one can still see the perfection within it and solve many problems.

It’s just that it will be very difficult to implement, and it will touch the interests of many parties, so it must be suppressed with absolute strength.

In addition, there are still some problems that need to be solved. In short, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"It is not perfect, and there is no perfect idea in the world. As long as the executor is still human, there will be selfishness. If this is not restrained, no matter how perfect the idea is, it will decay from the inside."

His expression was still very serious, and Tian Hao expressed his thoughts.

As long as it is governed by humans, there will inevitably be flaws and it will slowly decay.

"This is unavoidable. Human nature is complex. Greed, jealousy, hatred, etc., among inferior ones, and disputes over superior ideals are all sources of disaster."

Lu Buwei's expression became more serious. He agreed with this point and felt deeply about it.

After being in charge of Qin for so many years, he saw many things and problems, and understood the nature of the country's political system. There is indeed no real perfection.

"Since you can write the Ten Awesome Sentences and come to Qin, you must be well prepared in this regard."

Then he asked again, with a hint.Yesterday, Li Si talked about a lot of things here, including the official list. He was very interested in it, and Taiyi God on the other side was also very interested.

"Teacher Xunzi had some ideas about this back then, especially after getting the Zhanlu Sword.

Although the Zhanlu Sword was lost back then, the Zhanlu Sky Eye was introduced into the body by the teacher and then passed on to me.

Based on the Zhanlu Sky Eye, I have evolved a brand new existence by integrating the talents pioneered by my teacher..."

Tian Hao saw what Lu Buwei was thinking and didn't shy away from it. While explaining, he picked up the Haoran sword lying beside him and turned the sword to reveal the eyes on both sides of the sword.

The shape of the two eyes on Haoran's sword is similar to that of Chi You's sword, but they don't have that evil feeling, but instead have a grand righteousness.

Lu Buwei looked at the Haoran Sword in front of him and listened to someone's story.

Although Li Si talked about this sword and the official ranking list yesterday, he didn't know much about it, so it was impossible to explain it in detail.

Now that Mr. Haoran has personally narrated and explained it, it is much more detailed and three-dimensional, and we can better understand the deeper meaning.

"This is true perfection!"

The exchange lasted until late at night, before Lu Buwei exclaimed, even more shocked than when he heard about the political system before.

Although that political system is very good, it is just that, and it is not truly perfect in itself.

And it is just a fantasy for the time being, and there will be many difficulties in implementing it, but this kind of official list can create a perfect court, and even cover the entire official system, guide officials' thinking, restrain power, prevent abuse, and even Private.

This kind of official list is truly perfect. When combined with any set of political systems, a dynasty and empire can continue forever, and maybe it can break through the limit of thousands of years.

And it was the kind of real rule, not the state of the Zhou Dynasty that had long existed in name only.

"But there is still a flaw. How do you solve it, sir?"

After sighing, Lu Buwei looked at someone with sharp eyes and saw a fatal flaw in the official list. If this was not dealt with properly, the entire official list would collapse.

"Did Lu Xiangguo say I'm here?"

Tian Hao smiled, knowing that the old father-in-law would ask this.

"This sword is perfect, but it is too perfect, and you are its shaper and its master. You who hold this sword are like the king of a country. You have become its biggest flaw."

Lu Buwei said directly that he wanted to see how this person would solve this flaw.

Although this is a flaw, since this person can write those ten awe-inspiring sentences, he must not be the kind of ambitious person, and he will definitely not ignore this flaw.

Of course, Li Si also said this yesterday, and said that this person would give up this sword, but that was just words, he wanted to see if this person could really give up.

The interests and power that this sword represents in the future are so great that they can even surpass the king of a country. Faced with such power, even he cannot let it go, otherwise he would not have embarked on this path and come to this moment. .

Can this person really be given up?

"What Lu Xiangguo said is true. Haoran also knows that his own existence is the biggest flaw of this sword. Therefore, this sword will not belong to any individual in the future, but to the entire world."

Nodding, Tian Hao made his decision and looked at Lu Buwei, looking extremely calm.

"People's hearts will always change. Sir, I have this awareness now, but I wonder if I will also have this awareness in the future?"

After staring at each other for a while, Lu Buwei spoke again, still a little unconvinced.

But it’s not that I don’t believe in this person’s present, but the future.

There are too many variables in the future, and no one can predict future changes.

And power is the most terrifying poison in the world, the most capable of eroding people's hearts and wills. Even King Ji of Qin could not avoid being eroded by power in his later years. He made such a decision, which almost caused the collapse of the powerful Qin State.

He has seen many such people, such as Wang Jian. At first, he was loyal to the Qin royal family and vowed not to bow to him. But when he used the position of general as bait, the other party gradually swayed, and now he has become his subordinate. The strongest general.

As long as he helps lead the army to win the next battle of Xianyang, he will make the opponent a general of Qin.

This kind of position is rarely seen in the Qin State. Even Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an, did not sit in this kind of position. It is the highest status and honor of a military general, and no one can refuse it.

"It makes no sense to say that I will not change my original intention in the future, and I can't be sure whether I will change in the future, so I made settings in Haoran Sword when I haven't changed yet.

Once this sword becomes the foundation of the entire imperial court in the future, everyone can use its power, and I am just one of them.

If you really want to do something detrimental to the people of the world, you cannot use this sword.

Lord Xiangguo, would you like to try the power of this sword? "

Tian Hao did not insist that he would not change his original intention in the future, but used a method to fix his current original intention, and it was a fixed one.

This in itself is the foundation of the official list, and forceful action will only cause the official list to self-destruct.

Lu Buwei was speechless, his old eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the young man opposite.

He did not doubt that the other party would lie. Obviously, the Haoran sword must have such a setting.

At least this person's heart has not changed yet. He is the Confucian Haoran who can write ten haoran sentences.

Moreover, the official list was shaped by the power of Zhanlu Sword. He had heard what kind of sword Zhanlu Sword was, and it indeed conformed to this concept.

“Sir’s magnanimity is inferior to mine!”

After watching for a long time, Lu Buwei sighed with emotion, sighing at himself, and at the same time he also realized how terrible this person was.

A person who can even give up his supreme power, what else can shake his true will?
If this kind of person wants to do something, no one can stop him. He is a more terrifying person than himself.

Sure enough, the back wave of the Yellow River pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the river beach!
"The Prime Minister is so complimentary!"

Tian Hao was humble and explained: "I am not as good as the Prime Minister thought. The reason why I can see things clearly is that I am relatively repulsive to the affairs of the court. Although I have created this political system and the Haoran Sword. Although he is on the official list, he will not enter the court.

Some things can only be seen clearly by being a bystander. Once you are involved in the situation, it is difficult to figure it out. Even I cannot guarantee whether I will be eroded in the future. The best solution is not to have contact. "

He has always stayed away from power. So many great people in history have not been able to escape the erosion of power. For example, the man who won the victory in the name of the people is a typical representative of corruption.

Although there are other factors involved in that person's corruption, it is indeed a kind of corruption and he has become someone he hates.

In the past life, countless people ended up living the way they once hated. This is a kind of helplessness in life.

"It is a wise move not to enter the game. Once you enter the game, there is no option to get out."

Lu Buwei was filled with emotion and agreed with this point of view.

Although he enjoyed the power of the uncrowned king, he also had a lot of helplessness and lost a lot because of it, including his favorite woman and most beloved daughter.

Presumably the reason why Xingyun has not come to see him all these years is not only blocked by that kid, but also due to his own reasons.

That girl is not young now. She can understand many things and has her own opinions. She must understand that her current nature is so different from the image she created in the past that she probably can't accept it.

"The King personally went to South Korea to meet with Sir and had a discussion. What does Sir think of the King?"

After a long time to calm down, Lu Buwei talked about King Qin again.

He knew that King Qin went to South Korea, which triggered an unprecedented war, and the city of Xinzheng was reduced to ruins.

In the end, the king met the Confucian Haoran and had communication.

It's just that their conversation was blocked at the beginning, and Li Si didn't know what the two sides talked about.

"A very perfect king, no one can compare with him for hundreds of years."

Tian Hao gave an evaluation that Ying Zheng himself was excellent, and after his training and induction, he became even more perfect. In the future, he will definitely become the First Emperor who truly surpasses the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

"Sir, do you agree with the king?"

Lu Buwei was slightly surprised. Is this one going to compromise with that king?

Tian Hao said firmly: "I agree with the King of Qin, but I do not agree with everything about him. As Xiangguo said before, people's hearts will change. No one can say whether the future King of Qin can maintain his will, let alone It is said that his descendants may not be able to integrate the current will and excellence of King Qin.

A country and the entire world should not pin its future entirely on individuals. That is too risky and is not advisable.

Royal power must be limited, otherwise no matter how powerful a national dynasty is established, it is likely to collapse from the top. "

Not to mention him, not even Ying Zheng himself could guarantee this. This was also a major point in his agreement to limit the royal power.

If you want to build a dynasty and empire that can be passed down for eternity, you must make some choices.
