Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 74

"Li Si, tell me, didn't you ever think that Mr. Zhou would be greedy for your achievements?" Qin Wang looked at Li Si and asked.

Li Si looked embarrassed, and said: "Going back to the king, I have indeed thought about it. This is because I have judged the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart. I have committed a crime, and I ask the king to punish me."

"Let's avoid the punishment." Qin Wang nodded and said: "Your written advice is very reasonable, as long as you are not a fool, you will know what to do. If you entrust such an important thing to Zhou Chong, it is not reasonable for you not to worry. , This is human nature. Mr. Zhou has excellent moral character, and it is just a sentence to be greedy for your achievements. You have not moved your mind. Go and apologize to Mr. Zhou."

"I obey the order!" Li Si bowed to Zhou Chong and said: "Master Zhou, Li Si is narrow-minded, and he treats Mr. Zhou's gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. I am really ashamed. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou."

"Who says he is useless, he is quite cute." Zhou Chong admired Li Si's actions in his heart.Even though it was in front of the King of Qin, it was still rare for the King of Qin to force him to apologize.He can completely deny it, say that he and Zhou Chong have a good friendship, and then brag about Zhou Chong, saying how virtuous he is, and he would never do such a thing anyway, and the matter is over.He admitted that he had indeed doubted Zhou Chong, which is not bad in itself.

Although he was a bit hypocritical and unsubstantiated to have such an ending, Zhou Chong still thought it was acceptable, and quickly returned the courtesy, saying: "Master Li is serious, Zhou Chong is just running around, how can he compare with Li My lord's art of returning to heaven with a few words. Master Li's article is wonderful, the king is sage, Zhou Chong dare not take credit for it."

King Qin admired Zhou Chong very much, and said: "Mr. Zhou is really not greedy for merit. I am very pleased to have someone like Mr. help me."

"I've already taken credit for Mao Jiao's work, why don't I take credit for it?" Zhou Chong felt a little unreasonable in his heart for Qin King's praise.

King Qin continued: "Mr. Zhou is so talented and virtuous that he can't just confuse it on paper and pen. From today on, he will participate in the government and point out the mistakes of the few."

This is a great honor. Zhou Chong never thought of it, and he didn't want to participate in the government, so he hurriedly declined: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong has no tools for governing the world, no talent for managing affairs, even though he has a little ingenious tricks, he must not dare to speak rashly. As for the government, please ask the king to take back the order."

"Mr. Zhou's words are not correct. Mr. Zhou's words and deeds are always so novel, which can give me a sense of freshness, and always make me realize something that others can't let me know. If you don't participate in the government, I don't know how many mistakes I will make." King Qin said firmly: "This matter is settled like this."

"It's not because your ability to grasp new and novel things is much better than others, and you can always find some modern flavor from me." Zhou Chong said with a heart like a mirror, "Since this is the case, I dare not obey. If I have done something wrong, I ask the king to forgive me."

The King of Qin commented on Zhou Chong, saying: "You are good at everything, but you are too modest. Humility is a good thing and a virtue, but there are some things that you have to do your part. The world is determined, and the widow is just doing my part!" Said: "With talents like you assisting the widow, why worry about the immortality of the world."

Li Si enjoyed King Qin's words very much, with a happy attitude.

Zhou Chong thought: "The time has come, Brother Wei can show his ambition!" He sighed and said nothing.

The King of Qin was in a state of excitement, but he didn't expect to give Zhou Chong such a sigh, which made him lose interest, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, why is he sighing?"

Zhou Chong said with a look of sincerity and fear, "Your Majesty doesn't know something, but my ministers have little talent and knowledge, so it's hard to be honored as a king. The king has great ambitions, but my ministers don't have the wings to soar to the sky. I have to sigh."

What a clever man King Qin said, "You have something to say, so go ahead."

"Although the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are called sages, they can fight back and forth for such a small area in the Central Plains, but the great cause that the king wants to achieve is to tolerate the world. The real world has Lingnan in the south, desert in the north, Bashu in the west, and the coast of the sea in the east. , It is far greater than the great achievements of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors." Zhou Chong first made a flattering speech, then changed the topic, and said: "To assist the king to accomplish this great cause, you must have capable people with soaring wings."

King Qin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "May I ask, Mr. Zhou, is there any capable person with soaring wings in this world?"

Zhou Chong saluted and said: "I congratulate the king, and congratulate the king!"

King Qin was even more strange, and asked: "Mr. Zhou, where does the joy come from?"

Zhou Chong explained: "Wang Zuozhi's talents are not born in the world. It is extremely difficult to get one, but there are two people in this world. If the king wants to achieve great things, he must have the help of these two people."

King Qin's spirit was greatly lifted, and he was shocked, and asked, "Which two people are there?"

"One Wen and one Wu, does the King want to know Wen first, or Wu first?" Zhou Chong asked.

The King of Qin nodded and said: "Writing is the foundation of all ages. Although the soldiers are sharp, it is only a short-term achievement. It is not enough to rely on. Let's write first."

"Whoever said that the King of Qin knew the difference between military and martial arts? Didn't he know the difference between civil and military? The war to unify the six countries was condemned by Confucianism as militarism. How shallow is the understanding of Confucianism!" Zhou Chong sighed in his heart, saying : "Writer Han Fei!"

Li Si frowned, Zhou Chong saw it, and thought, "It seems true that you are jealous of Han Fei's talent. History repeats, and I will never let you kill Han Fei."

"What about him, tell me quickly." King Qin was very eager.

Zhou Chong saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Han Fei is a man, and I have only heard his name, but have not seen him. For the details, I have to ask Mr. Li."

King Qin looked at Li Si and said, "Li Si, tell me."

Li Si was very jealous of Han Feizhi's talent in his heart, ten thousand people did not want the King of Qin to use Han Fei, but on the surface he pretended nothing happened, saying: "Back to the king, Han Fei belongs to the royal family of Korea. Xunzi, I know a thing or two. Han Fei is slow in speech and mind, has the problem of stuttering, but is good at writing books. His theory can be summed up in three words."

"Which three words?" King Qin asked.

Li Si replied: "Fa, Jue, Shi."

"Magic power." King Qin chewed: "Simple and clear, but it has exhausted the mystery of governing the country. Compared with the nonsense of Confucianism, it is a thousand times better. Confucianism blindly boasted that the emperor of Zhou will be in the world for 800 years, why don't you say 800 years?" In the world, what about 800 years of war? The pedantic King Wu of Zhou set up a horse to release Nanshan, and put his swords and guns into storage. He has a false name, but how many wars have been fought in 800 years, and how many people have died in the war. The false name is exhausting!"

King Wu of Zhou put his horse on Nanshan Mountain, put his swords and guns into the treasury, and the Confucianists praised it again and again, and they all praised it so much that they were at a loss for words. Unexpectedly, it was worthless in the eyes of King Qin.His words were too unexpected, and he couldn't say that his words were unreasonable, so Zhou Chong didn't know what to say.

The King of Qin continued: "Han Fei explained the truth that Confucianism failed to express in just three words. This person must be beyond the reach of others. Han Fei, I must get you!"
