The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 122 Yan State Reform
The news of the new king of Yan's succession quickly spread throughout the three kingdoms. Among them, Qi and Chu had the biggest reaction. They were all worried about the changes in Yan and what Qin had done.

However, it turned out that they were overly worried.According to what we have learned carefully in the Yan Kingdom, the reason why the King of Yan suddenly became the crown prince is not simple.

There are even rumors among the people that it was Prince Danxing who rebelled and forced King Yan Xi to abdicate.

Prince Dancai is the King of Yan!
Naturally, other countries cannot influence the political affairs of Yan State.

Just when the Three Kingdoms of Qi thought that the rebellion of Yan State was over, another shocking news came to them!
"Yan Wangdan implements the new law and follows the legalist way!"

Carry out the legalist way!

Turns out to be a Legalist!
Could it be that the State of Yan wanted to imitate the State of Qin and carry out Legalist reforms? !

This is the most curious thing in the hearts of Qi and Chu.

After all, the only country that carried out Legalist reforms was Qin, and it successfully made the country strong!

This has attracted the envy of other countries, but they dare not imitate it. After all, the reform can affect the whole body, so we must be cautious!

But now, the new king of Yan State actually announced a reform, and it was still based on Legalism.

The State of Qin naturally also knew that the new king of Yan State wanted to implement the new law, but King Qin Yingzheng just smiled indifferently when he heard this.

The reform was so difficult. The Qin State implemented the reform and went through many Qin kings before the Qin State became strong and powerful today.

And Yan State wants to implement the new law, but I don’t know when it will succeed?
Therefore, this is the reason why King Qin Yingzheng is not worried at all.

Maybe the reforms carried out by the Yan State will not make the Yan State strong and prosperous, but will instead plunge the Yan State into chaos!

Without a strong king, reforms will only cause chaos in the country!
But at this time, the new King Yan who succeeded him seemed to be quite resourceful, otherwise he would not have rashly implemented reforms.

…………

Qin State, Xianyang.

The envoy from Yan State has arrived in Xianyang and requested to see the King of Qin.

King Qin Yingzheng heard about it and treated him with courtesy.A ceremony of nine guests was arranged to receive the Yan envoy at Xianyang Palace.

In the majestic and majestic Qin Palace, Qin Ruishi is wearing armor, cold proof, holding a war gun, shining with a cold light that is captivating.

On the long palace road, I saw a group of people dressed in Yanguo's costumes slowly walking towards the Xianyang Palace, which was as huge as an ancient giant beast.

The leader held the talisman and had a solemn face. He was led by the waiter to the huge steps.

At this moment, a loud chant suddenly came from the palace, "The waiters of Xuanyan Kingdom are here to see you!"

Hearing this, the Yan envoy quickly tidied up his appearance, and then slowly walked into Xianyang Palace under the leadership of the leader.

They hold their heads high and are neither humble nor arrogant.

When he walked into the palace, he saw Qin officials on both sides. Their eyes were focused on him, as if they wanted to see the purpose of the Yan Kingdom from him.

There was even a look of disdain in some people's eyes.

Qin is strong and Yan is weak. This phenomenon is normal.

"The envoy from the State of Yan has met the King of Qin!"

The leader had an ordinary face and was dressed in gorgeous robes. He came to the middle of the palace and saluted the King of Qin above him respectfully.

"waived!"

King Qin Yingzheng looked at the people below. From the list sent by Yan State, he naturally knew the names of the envoys from Yan State.

At this time, the speaker's name was Jing Ke. According to the news sent by Tianluo Diwang, Jing Ke was Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom and a guest of the King of Yan at this time.

Prince Dan of Yan State staged a mutiny and was now the King of Yan!

Therefore, the envoy at this time should come according to the wishes of the current King of Yan.

"Why did the envoy from Yan come here this time?"

King Qin Yingzheng came back to his senses, looked at the Yan envoy below, and then asked.

"Back to the King of Qin, the foreign ministers are here this time. Under the orders of the King of Yan, they come to offer the land of Dukang of the Yan Kingdom to Qin!"

"really!"

"I didn't expect that Yan State really came to offer land!"

"The Yan State is weak and can only survive in this way!"

"The land offered by the State of Yan should be accepted!"

"..."

Hearing the words of the envoy from the State of Yan, the Qin officials in the palace immediately smiled. The country is so powerful that it can suppress all directions, make them surrender, and offer their land for peace. What a glorious thing it is!
As Qin ministers, they are naturally proud!

"The land of Dukang in the Yan Kingdom!"

King Qin Yingzheng was also very happy when he heard this.

This is not like using troops to seize the city and gain land. Now it is the Yan State who takes the initiative to offer the land. I am afraid it will also be recorded in the history books.

This is the glory that belongs to Qin!

How unhappy King Qin Yingzheng was!
"Bring it up!"

Seeing that Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan State, had taken out the map, King Qin Yingzheng immediately asked the waiter on the side to get the map.

However, at this moment, Jing Ke, the envoy of the State of Yan, suddenly said: "I am afraid that the King of Qin does not know where the Dukang land of the State of Yan is. Foreign ministers, please personally point it out to the King of Qin!"

King Qin Yingzheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "Good!"

At this time, where no one could see, Bai Zhi's figure flashed and appeared above the Xianyang Palace.Bai Zhi looked down at the situation below, and his eyes fell on Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom.

His eyes moved slightly and fell on the map of the Dukang land of Yan State held in Jing Ke's hand, but he was slightly surprised in his heart.

Because, he did not find the poison-quenched dagger in the map of Dukang, Yan State.

"Has history changed?"

Bai Zhi was puzzled, but he didn't show up. He just stood on top of the palace and looked at the situation below.

Under the leadership of the waiter, Jing Ke came to the desk of King Qin Yingzheng, then respectfully placed the map of Kantu on the desk, and then slowly unfolded it.

King Qin Yingzheng's eyes fell on the map, and his eyes lost all curiosity.

"King Qin, please look, this is the land of Dukang!"

Jing Ke stretched out his hand and pointed on the map of Kanyu, pointing out to the King of Qin the specific location of Dukang.

"Good! It is indeed a blessed place!"

King Qin Yingzheng showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He looked at it for a moment again, and then asked the waiter on the side to show the map of Kanyu to Qin Chen below.

Jing Ke also resigned from Danbi and returned to the envoys again.

"The State of Yan offers the land of Dukang, what can the State of Yan ask for?"

King Qin Yingzheng looked at Jing Ke and asked solemnly.

"The State of Yan offers the land of Dukang to ask the State of Qin to protect the State of Yan!"

Jing Ke said: "The State of Yan does not seek to be strong, but only seeks the longevity of the Sheji Ancestral Temple. However, the State of Qin is strong and the overlord. Therefore, I ask for the protection of the State of Qin. The State of Yan is willing to dedicate the land of Dukang to Qin!"

Hearing this, all the Qin officials in the palace started talking about it. It turned out that this was the purpose of the envoy from the State of Yan.

King Qin Yingzheng already knew this, so there was not much surprise on his face. He looked at the Qin officials below and asked, "What do you think of the envoy from Yan?"

Hearing this, Li Si, the court lieutenant, came out and immediately said: "Qin is strong and Yan is weak. At this time, Yan is offering land for peace. Qin should accept it and declare to protect Yan!" "Good!" !”

When Ying Zheng heard Li Si's words, he nodded immediately, looked at Jing Ke below, and said: "Qin agrees with the feelings of Yan!"

"Thank you King Qin!"

…………

Watching the development of things below that were completely different from history, Bai Zhi above the palace looked calm.

"Looks like history has changed!"

At the same time, he also thought about the changes in the Yan Kingdom, "Also, in the history, Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom originally planned to assassinate Qin by Jing Ke, but at this time, it turned into a real cessation of territory to seek peace..."

At the same time, Bai Zhi also thought about the news about the Yan State that had come in the past few days. The Yan State was reforming the law and practicing the legalist way.

"In fact, Prince Dan actually launched a mutiny and then ascended to the throne of King Yan himself to implement reforms!"

Bai Zhi sighed. Although he was a little surprised by the changes that had taken place in Yan Kingdom, he was not too shocked.

This is the change caused by the butterfly effect, and it makes sense.

……

The news of Yan's cession of territory and suing for peace soon spread throughout the world. The people of Qin were not surprised at all, but Qi and Chu had feelings for each other.

After all, the humiliating things that Yan has done now may be a reflection of the future for Qi and Chu.

This made them feel that the crisis was right around the corner.

As for the people of Yan State, they were very angry when they heard the news. However, at this time, Yan Wang Dan of Yan State had already prepared it. As soon as the news reached Yan State, Yan Wang Dan sent people everywhere to explain.

He said: The strategy of ceding territory and seeking peace is to buy time for the Yan State. When the Yan State's reform is successful and the country is strong and the people are prosperous, the Yan State will have an advantage in military warfare and will no longer be afraid of Qin's troops.

Just like Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who lay down on his firewood and tasted courage in order to restore his country in the future!

In the first year of King Dan of Yan, the State of Yan announced a new law and implemented Legalist principles.King Dan of Yan worshiped Han Feizi as the Prime Minister of Han, who was responsible for all political reforms.

In the second year of King Dan of Yan, Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, first implemented the new law. At that time, Yan soldiers entered the city and took over the city defense. Without the order of King Yan, no one could send troops into the city.

In the same year, a nobleman in Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, was cut in half. For a time, the nobles of the Yan Kingdom were frightened, and no one dared to speak out about the shortcomings of the new method of King Yan's Pill.

In the third year of King Dan of Yan, the new law was completed and implemented throughout the country. Nobles in various parts of the Yan Kingdom resisted, but they were all suppressed. For a time, the whole country was wiped out and the nobles had no hope.

However, people all over the country supported the new law, and even more soldiers were eager to fight. The generals in the army asked the King of Yan to fight, and they were thirsty for war.

In the fourth year of King Dan of Yan, the State of Yan carried out farming wars and entered the nobility system for military merit. In addition to farming, common people could join the army, fight in all directions on the battlefield, kill enemies, and obtain military merit.

In the fifth year of King Yan's reign, the new law continued to be implemented.

In the sixth year of King Dan of Yan...

In the seventh year of King Dan of Yan, the State of Yan underwent reforms and gradually became stronger and stronger.

…………

Qin State, Xianyang City.

In Huizhi Palace, Bai Zhi looked at Fusu, who was already 13 years old, and felt happy in his heart.

On the grass in the courtyard, I saw a young man dressed in luxurious Qin clothes with a serious look on his face, holding a letter in his hand and reading the book in his hand.

After a long time, he put down the book in his hand and looked at the sacred bird under the pavilion. With a respectful look on his face, he said: "Teacher, Fusu has read the words of Confucianism and believes that Confucianism governs the country with benevolence. For the Qin State, there are many benefit."

Bai Zhi remained silent after hearing what Fusu said.This scene has happened many times.For example, before, Bai Zhi asked Fusu to read the words of Legalists, Taoists, Farmers... and then express his feelings.

At this time, the young master Fusu happened to read through Confucianism.

Immediately, Bai Zhi said: "Tell me in detail!"

Bai Zhi acted like he was listening attentively. When Young Master Fusu heard the words, the young man's face showed a serious look, he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then he considered his words:
"The State of Qin practiced Legalism and restricted the people with strict Qin laws. However, the people still had a heart of benevolence and righteousness. Perhaps they could be guided by the etiquette of benevolence and righteousness, which could also restrain the people's words and deeds."

"As for those who are unforgivable and disrespectful of courtesy and benevolence, they should be governed by Qin's laws!"

Bai Zhi was a little surprised when he heard Fusu's words. In summary, Fusu meant two things.

The first level is to make people have a moral heart and use morality to restrain their words and deeds.

On the second level, if morality cannot restrain the words and deeds of the people, then the law will punish them.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi immediately asked: "At this time, there is a man named Zhang San who impulsively kills people. He regrets it later and takes the initiative to report the crime to the government and surrender. What should we do?"

"This……"

After hearing Bai Zhizhi's question, Fusu immediately fell silent.

Among Zhang San, murder has become a fact. Although it is impulsive, it is still subjective.And surrendering himself afterwards meant that Zhang San still had a moral heart. If he had followed what he said before, he might not have to punish Zhang San.

However, it is a fact that Zhang San killed someone.

The family of the person who was killed would certainly not agree.

Seeing that Young Master Fusu was silent and his frown represented his inner doubts, Bai Zhi stopped waiting and said directly:

"Morality, benevolence and righteousness can only become the inner constraints of the people, and their own constraints often disappear easily. Therefore, external constraints are needed!"

"Teacher's intention..."

Fusu looked at Bai Zhi, and then fell into deep thought again. After a long time, he said: "Confucianism cannot be a good way to govern the country, but it does have merits! There are also many shortcomings in the legalism practiced in Qin today. , therefore, the combination of the two may be suitable for Qin!"

"No!"

However, Fusu heard Teacher Shenniao's denial again. Before he could ask for advice, Shenniao's words came, "The opinions of hundreds of schools of thought are beneficial to the country!"

Then, without waiting for Fusu to think too much, Shenniao said: "Today's lesson ends here. Your learning task has been completed, and the time of the next lesson is not sure. I will notify you when it will start! "

"only!"

Fusu was confused, but he treated the teacher's words with special respect.

"During this period of time, you can learn more about the political affairs of the Qin State, but you are not allowed to express opinions on the governance of the country, let alone make unauthorized remarks or interfere in political affairs!"

"I will inform King Qin about this."

"only!"

Fusu quickly saluted respectfully, but then asked: "If Fusu has doubts, can you write it down and ask the teacher for advice?"

"……Can!"

…………

After teaching the young master Fusu, Bai Zhi looked at Fusu's leaving figure, pondering for a moment, and then he flashed and appeared in Zhangtai Palace.

At this time, there were only a few people sitting in the Zhangtai Palace. Among them, the leader was King Qin Yingzheng.

The remaining people are Li Si, the court captain, Wang Jian, the general, and Feng Quji, the prime minister.

And Bai Zhi suddenly appeared in Zhangtai Palace, which immediately aroused their surprise.

And Qin Wang Yingzheng suddenly saw

When Bai Zhi appeared, a smile instantly appeared on his face. Then he looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Master is here!"

Bai Zhi looked between the few people and saw a huge Kan map lying there. Several people were holding wooden feet, as if they were deducing something on the Kan map.

King Qin Yingzheng said to Bai Zhi: "The few people want..."
