The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Afang Palace, Imperial Garden.

In the pavilion.

"A wise ruler must be able to uphold the Way and practice the art of supervision and accountability. If he supervises and urges, the ministers will not dare not to serve their ruler with all their strength. Once the division between ministers and rulers is clear and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clear, then no one in the world, whether wise or foolish, will dare not to serve their ruler with all their strength and responsibility. Therefore, the ruler alone controls the world and is not controlled by anyone, and can enjoy the ultimate happiness. A wise ruler should be careful.

Therefore, Shen Zi said, "If one has the world but does not do what he wants, he is called to regard the world as shackles." There is no other reason, but that he cannot supervise and censure, but only uses his body to work for the people of the world, like Yao and Yu. Therefore, he is called "shackles." He who cannot cultivate the wise methods of Shen and Han, practice the way of supervision and censure, and only uses the world to suit himself, but only works hard and toils, and sacrifices himself for the people, is a servant of the people, not a ruler of the world. How can he be noble? If he sacrifices others for himself, he will be noble and others will be lowly; if he sacrifices himself for others, he will be lowly and others will be noble. Therefore, he who sacrifices others is lowly, and he who is sacrificed by others is noble. From ancient times to the present, there has never been anything wrong. In ancient times, the reason why the virtuous were respected was because they were noble, and the reason why the unworthy were hated was because they were lowly..."

Yi Huawei stood aside, listening to Li Si talking endlessly about his suggestions to Hu Hai, and felt quite speechless.

Does Li Si, the sixth brother, want to come and compete with me for favor because he sees that I am too "favored"?

After such a long speech, there is only one central idea.

Li Si flattered Hu Hai's hedonistic way of being a king and praised Hu Hai's "extreme pursuit of pleasure" as the way of a wise king.

Based on Shen Buhai's theory, he argued that Hu Hai's contempt for the hard work of Yao and Yu in governing was sage and profound, and called the governance of Emperor Yao and Emperor Yu "great absurdity", the fundamental reason being that they did not understand the art of supervision and accountability; he cited Han Fei's theory of a loving mother ruining her son, affirming that heavy punishments to supervise and supervise the subjects were "the art of the sage"; he argued comprehensively that the art of supervision and accountability could make room for the monarch to enjoy himself, so that the monarch could do whatever he wanted and no one dared to disobey, and that the establishment of the art of supervision and accountability would allow everything to be obtained, and the way of the emperor would be complete, and even if Shen Buhai and Han Fei were resurrected, they could not add anything. A wise monarch can act arbitrarily and strictly supervise and punish, so people in the world dare not offend, etc., etc., can be described as exaggerating.

Such gorgeous words are worthy of the Prime Minister of Qin. Even his exhortation to people to enjoy themselves is well-reasoned and well-founded.

Unlike Yi Huawei, who only knows how to say that life is short, so enjoy it while you can.

Hu Hai sat there, trying to listen to Li Si's words at first, but as time went on, his eyes gradually became blurry. After a long speech, Hu Hai yawned.

After all, isn't it just advising myself to enjoy myself? Is there any need to say more? I have already been doing this.

He waved his hand, interrupting Li Si's words, and said impatiently: "Okay, Li Si, is there anything else? If not, I will go back to accompany my beauty."

I spent an hour in the sky today and was too excited. Now the aftereffects came and I felt sleepy. I didn't care what Li Si said. Without waiting for Li Si's response, I stood up and said to Yi Huawei:

"Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. Please prepare anything that Yi Aiqing needs. Don't be negligent. I hope to live in the Heavenly Palace as early as possible."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves, hugged the two beauties, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

"To be able to talk about the way of enjoyment in such a grand and profound way, he is truly a rare talent, beyond compare!"

Yi Huawei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Si, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Lord Li is indeed loyal. Look at his words, he always thinks of Your Majesty. If Lord Li wants to serve Your Majesty closely, I can let him do it. After all, Lord Li's sincerity is rare."

For the first time, Li Si was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He did not have the same excitement as before when his memorials were approved by the emperor. Instead, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Even when facing Zhao Gao, a eunuch who had always been despised by loyal ministers, Li Si was ashamed as never before.

He laughed dryly twice and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! Lord Zhao, you are joking. I, Li Si, am only fulfilling my duty as a subject. How dare I have such unreasonable thoughts?"

The breeze gently blew through the pavilion, blowing the sleeves of the two people. The atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.

Li Si's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible panic, but Yi Huawei remained calm and said with a smile: "Master Li, you are too polite. If there is nothing else, then Zhao will go first."

Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Please come in, Lord Zhao!"

"Haha~,"

It was quite funny. He smiled and turned to Yilan and waved, "Sister, come on, I brought you something."

"Sir Li, I'll take my leave now!"

Yilan smiled, bowed slightly to Li Si, turned around and followed Yi Huawei.

Li Si narrowed his eyes and watched the two people leaving. Several thoughts flashed through his mind. He shook his head and turned to walk towards the exit.

………………

Yunguang Hall.

Walking into the hall, a light scent of sandalwood hits your nose. The hall is spacious and bright, and the exquisitely carved beams and pillars show the luxury of the royal family. The sunlight shines through the colorful glazed windows onto the ground, forming patches of colorful light and shadow.

"good,"

Yi Huawei looked at him for a while, then turned to look at Yilan: "How is Fusu now?"

"Still the same as always, studying with those students."

Yilan smiled and said, "He seems to be quite interested in mathematics."

"That's right. Having a hobby on an isolated island can help me pass the time and keep me from getting mentally ill."

Yi Huawei smiled and asked, "What about those children? How is their learning progress?"

Yilansi said without hesitation: "I study half a day a day. The progress is not fast, but it is progressing steadily. In another two years, I think I can finish the high school curriculum. Then I can teach elementary school knowledge to the younger children."

"Two years?"

Yi Huawei nodded and thought for a moment: "No hurry, there is still time now."

"You have time,"

Yilan rolled his eyes. "I don't know if I can perform normal maintenance on myself by then. If I use the energy in my body sparingly, it should last for another hundred years. If I need to use the energy cannon, the time will be shortened."

"a hundred years?"

Zhang Lehui smiled and said, "It only took a few hundred years for humans to move from agricultural civilization to modern civilization, and they took many detours during this period. Now that we are in control of the general direction, a hundred years should be enough, enough for them to accept modern scientific and technological civilization!"

He paused, as if remembering something: "Where is Zhang Liang? What is he doing now?" "I left him on the island."

Yilan pursed his lips and said, "He has a strong ability to accept things. When I took him to Yingzhou, he seemed to be scared silly at first, but he became normal after three days. Now he is also learning from those children."

"hehe!"

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "Then let him continue to learn. If he is willing, he can teach. If not, let him go back home. By the way, the saltpeter and sulfur have been transported back. If you have time, go and see them and teach them how to make gunpowder. Make sure they follow the standard procedures."

"it is good."

Yilan nodded, then asked curiously, "Are we going to fight? With whom? The Huns?"

Zhang Lehui smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared. Even if there is no war, it will be convenient to open up the mountains and roads."

………………

On the Mobei grassland, east of Queer Lake, the Xiongnu royal court was located.

From a distance, the huge golden tent of the Chanyu is particularly eye-catching, shining brightly under the sunlight.

With the Golden Tent as the core, a series of white tents extended in all directions in a tight and orderly manner. There were so many of them that the radius was more than ten miles. According to a rough estimate, the Xiongnu royal court had about 300,000 people, with a force of 70,000 to 80,000. These Xiongnu people were all strong and sturdy, with sharp eyes, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

There are many small tribes scattered within a hundred miles around, and it seems that a powerful military force is lurking in this grassland.

One year ago, the year Hu Hai succeeded to the throne.

In order to seize power, Maodun murdered his father, Touman Chanyu, and then established himself as the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. He conferred the title of Zuoguduhou on his confidant Ahuer, granting him great power and honor, which made Ahuer loyal to him. He also appointed his cousin Banmo as Zuoxianwang, using the power of his family to consolidate his rule. Maodun firmly controlled the power of the Xiongnu, showing his extraordinary political skills. Then, he ordered all the troops to send troops to quickly pacify the scattered foreign tribes in the Xiongnu territory and annex them. Under his leadership, the Xiongnu continued to expand its territory and sphere of influence.

The King of Donghu took advantage of Maodun's unstable position and asked for a thousand-mile horse and a wife of Chanyu Yanshi, both of which Maodun met. The King of Donghu mistakenly thought that Maodun was weak and relaxed his guard. Maodun took the opportunity to send troops to attack Donghu, beheaded the King of Donghu, and completely wiped out Donghu. After that, Maodun took advantage of the victory to conquer Loulan, Wusun, Hujie and other countries in the west, Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, Xinli and other countries in the north, and annexed Loufan and the territory of the King of Baiyang Henan in the south, unified the northern grasslands, and established a powerful Xiongnu Empire.

In just one year, a unified nomadic empire with 300,000 cavalrymen stood on the northern steppes of Mobei. This empire was stronger and more united than during the reign of Chanyu Tuoman, and its military strength, territory, and internal cohesion had all reached new heights.

Maodun made the Xiongnu develop so rapidly within a year, which shows his extraordinary talent. He not only had keen political insight, bold decision-making and excellent military command ability, but also understood the needs and desires of the Xiongnu people and knew how to use their strength to achieve his goals.

Since Maodun killed the King of Donghu, there was no more dissatisfaction with Maodun in the Xiongnu tribe, because the Xiongnu believed that the strong should be king. The Xiongnu people firmly believed that under the leadership of Maodun, they would move towards a glorious future and become the overlord of the grassland.

at dusk.

In the Chanyu's court, the eight most important officials - the left and right generals, the left and right great commanders, the left and right great officials, and the left and right Guduhou - gathered in the golden tent. Maodun sat high on the throne, his hair loose, holding a golden staff, with a solemn look, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and a solemn atmosphere spread in the tent.

Zuogudu Hou Huyanzan (Hu Yan) stood up first and asked respectfully: "Respected Great Chanyu, you summoned us here, what do you want to do?"

Maodun was silent for a moment, then stood up, walked behind him, and pulled open the tent curtain. A huge map appeared in front of everyone, with detailed information on the geographical locations and city strongholds of the four major powers, Xiongnu, Donghu, Dayuezhi, and Qin. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the map, and their expressions became more serious.

Mao Dun's face was heavy, and he said slowly: "You are all warriors of our Great Xiongnu, and you have always been fearless. But the current situation of our Great Xiongnu is not optimistic. Qin has established diplomatic relations and military alliances with Dayuezhi, which means that our two major enemies have now joined hands."

After hearing Maodun's words, everyone fell into deep thought. They knew the difficulties the Xiongnu were currently facing and understood the severity of the situation.

Maodun continued, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. If we can't fight our way out of this predicament, I'm afraid there will be no place for us on the grassland in the future. So, we must unite as one and fight the enemy together."

The generals on both sides looked at each other, and one of them said, "Great Chanyu, we should be prepared for battle. At the same time, we should send more spies to understand the enemy's movements."

The right captain nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must be vigilant and be ready to respond to the enemy's attack at any time. We can strengthen the defense of the border to prevent the enemy's surprise attack."

Zuo Dadanghu proposed: "We can form alliances with some small tribes to expand our sphere of influence. At the same time, we must strengthen internal management to ensure the stability and combat effectiveness of the army."

Maodun listened to everyone's suggestions and nodded slightly:
"What you said makes sense. The Qin people have a saying, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Qin is the most powerful because it has a large military force, a large population, and is the richest. Even if it is defeated repeatedly, it will be difficult to shake its national foundation in the short term. However, Qin's weakness is that most of the Qin army is infantry, and the country's cavalry is probably only more than 100,000 people, and they still need to be stationed in various places, so the strategic mobility is extremely limited, and it basically does not have the ability to launch a large-scale long-range assault on our Xiongnu inland. Therefore, although Qin is actually the most powerful, its threat to our Xiongnu in the short term is the smallest.

The advantage of the Great Yuezhi Kingdom is that it occupies the fertile Hexi Corridor and is connected to the Western Regions. Its economic strength is also stronger than that of the Xiongnu. It also has 200,000 cavalrymen, and it also has strong mobility and the ability to carry out long-range assaults on the inland areas of the Xiongnu. However, the King of the Great Yuezhi is brave but not wise, and has a short-sighted vision. The Yuezhi nobles are fascinated by the luxurious life and only want to maintain the status quo, lacking the ambition to make progress.

In comparison, our Xiongnu is not as wealthy as Qin and Dayuezhi, and we are far behind Qin in terms of sustained fighting. However, our Xiongnu's advantage is that we have the most powerful cavalry in the world. Therefore, we should seize the opportunity when Qin and Dayuezhi are not ready to join forces, use our powerful cavalry to defeat Dayuezhi first, and then fight Qin. Only in this way can we achieve the final victory. "

After saying this, Maodun Chanyu glanced at the important officials in the tent:
"From today on, all units must step up their efforts to reorganize their troops. Generals on the left and right, you will be responsible for coordinating the training of the soldiers. Make sure that every soldier is proficient in the art of riding and archery, and enhances their ability in close combat. Make sure they understand that on the battlefield, only the strongest can survive."

The generals on both sides took orders respectfully, with fighting spirit burning in their eyes.

"Left and right captains, go check the number of our war horses and make sure every horse is in the best condition. At the same time, prepare enough horse feed to ensure that the horses have sufficient physical strength during the battle."

The left and right Grand Commandants clasped their fists and said, "As you command, Great Chanyu. We will definitely fulfill our mission."

"Left and right leaders, you are responsible for checking the weapons and equipment. Whether it is a bow, sword, or spear, you must ensure that it is extremely sharp, strong and durable. If there is anything that is not up to standard, immediately order the craftsmen to repair or rebuild it."

The left and right chiefs nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Great Chanyu, we will make every weapon the most effective partner of the warriors."

"Left and right Gudu Hou, go contact the tribes and tell them the importance of this campaign, so that they will actively contribute their troops and manpower. For those tribes that are loyal and brave, you must reward and honor them; for those tribes that are hesitant or have evil intentions, you must take decisive measures."

The left and right Guduhou replied in unison: "Yes, Great Chanyu. We will make all tribes work together to fight for the glory of the Xiongnu."

Maodun Chanyu stood up, holding the golden staff tightly in his hand. "This campaign is related to the future of the Xiongnu. We must go all out and not slack off. Let us conquer the enemy in the name of the Iron Cavalry and achieve the glory of the Xiongnu."

Everyone in the tent shouted in unison: "For the Xiongnu! For the Great Chanyu!"

Then, the entire Xiongnu royal court took action. On the training ground, the shouts of killing shook the earth; in the stables, the horses neighed and the hooves clattered; in the craftsmen's workshops, sparks flew and the sound of forging was endless. All tribes also responded to Maodun Chanyu's call and sent out elite warriors to follow Chanyu to fight in all directions.
