Qin Dynasty Novelist

As soon as Cai Ze's words came out, the environment was beautiful, surrounded by trees, a person raised his arm high, and then he bowed his hands in all directions, and finally looked at the high platform.

On the high platform is Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze. On a low platform on the side of the high platform, there is a table display. An old man in a splendid purple robe sits kneeling on it, with a high mountain crown and hair tied. While sipping tea, he listened to the talk.

"Fear the head and the tail, what a big deal!"

"I used to be a law enforcement officer in Tingwei's Mansion, and I know the shortcomings of Qin Law! The power of Qin Law in the past is coming into being in response to the trend. Over the past hundred years, the general situation of the world and the livelihood of the common people have changed drastically. If Qin Law does not respond in time, Amendments will definitely become the shackles of Qin's continued prosperity!"

"Marquis Wen Xin amended the Qin law to prepare for the one-day rule of the Qin State. He has not changed the previous national policy, so why not be afraid of it!"

Suddenly, following the person who spoke before, on the grass next to the forest, a scholar in black with a bamboo crown said loudly, with a slightly angry and dissatisfied expression, he saluted the four directions and spoke loudly.

Between the speeches, there were obviously different opinions, but the rest of the scholars who surrounded them didn't take it seriously. Here, it is common to have different opinions. If the opinions were unified, they would not be here today.

"I have a question!"

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, the purpose of any reform must be clarified first. For example, the purpose of the Shang Dynasty's reform is to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Today's amendment to the Qin Law does not clarify the purpose at the beginning, but only supplements the law. Dare I ask Wen Xinhou : What is the purpose of amending the law? Why can't it be made public at the beginning of the Qin Law?"

Not surprisingly, following the person before him, another young scholar held a copy of "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and bowed in all directions, his eyes flickering. He first looked at the Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze on the high platform, and then looked at the high platform The old man in purple robe next to him.

Any revision of the legal system must have an outline. However, no one has talked about the topic of today's debate. Since then, it is equivalent to unconstrained, arbitrary play, how can it hit the point.

Sure enough, when this person finished speaking, all the scholars around the high platform applauded him. This is what they were thinking about. If they could know the outline of amending the Qin law, today's theme would be much more appropriate.

"The purpose of amending the Qin law is to abandon the severe punishment and harsh law at home, and the sharp soldiers and violent soldiers abroad, so that Qin can establish the world with lenient punishment and clear law, and make the country prosperous and righteous."

"The division here is the difference between domineering and kingly way, and the difference between Shang Jun's law and Wenxinhou's law. The reason why it is not made clear at the beginning of the article is that I don't want the government and the opposition to discuss disputes in vain. That's all, how can there be any other!"

Whispers continued around the high platform, and the field fell into a moment of indifference. Standing on the high platform, Cai Ze, the king of Gangcheng, saw that no one continued to respond, turned his head slightly, and glanced at the purple-robed old man below. Take a breath and speak softly.

Unexpectedly, these scholars fell to the core so quickly!

"Gangcheng Jun's words are wrong!"

"I am the successor of the Legalist family. Dare to ask just becoming a king. Qin is the holy land of the Legalist family. It abandons kingly morality, benevolence and justice, implements the national policy of farming and war, and looks at the world with strength. It has its own origin!"

"Wen Xinhou's purpose of amending the law, if it really is to return to the old way of kingship, benevolence and righteousness, wouldn't it be an attempt to cover up by keeping silent? Instead, how can we openly prosper and reform the law like a Shang lord!"

A hundred years ago, the three schools of legalism reformed in the Three Kingdoms. The school of rule of law was Shang Jun, the reform was in Qin State, the school of jurisprudence was Shen Buhai, the reform was in Korea, the school of power rule was Shen Dao, and the reform was in Qi State.

The study of Legalism is the study of practical work. If the three schools of Legalism want to decide the winner, they can only judge by changing the strength of France. Twenty years after the three reforms, Qin State defeated Wei State and regained the The land of Hexi occupied by the State of Wei, since then, the Shang monarch has made great achievements in reform.

However, South Korea's Shen Buhui reform was due to the conflict between Qi and Wei, coupled with the conflicts in the Battle of Guiling and Maling.

However, Shen Dao's trip to Qi State made some achievements, making Qi State defeat Wei State, South Korea, and Chu State, and ruled the roost for a while. However, after decades, Qi State was almost destroyed by Yan State, and the foundation of the legal system has since not saved.

Indeed, in the entire Warring States period, only the Qin State continued to abide by the legal system. For a time, legalists took it as a happy land, and rushed to come here, either as followers or officials.

If today's discussion of law is to return to the kingly way, wouldn't it mean that it has followed the old path of the past, weakened the study of Legalism, introduced the laws of the three generations, and introduced the essence of Confucianism. This is something that legalists cannot accept anyway.

As the words fell, the entire law-discussion area fell into silence again. The Qin State is the holy land of the law world, and it will never allow foreign scholars and schools to invade. The study of kingly ways is absolutely impossible.

"I, Li Si, think that the arguments of the lords have missed the point. According to the facts, the Qin law should be changed. However, the current situation of the world will not tolerate the reform of the law with the purpose of prosperity!"

"In the time of filial piety and merchants, the Warring States stand side by side and restrict each other. Proper mediation can win the time for reform. Even if you use force internally, you can also avoid the intervention of other countries. Today's situation is very different from that of the time. The Qin State is dominant. Sensei has become the target of public criticism!"

"Once there is chaos in the forceful reform, the surviving six countries will have to rush forward with all their strength. At that time, Qin's century-old prosperity and strength will be destroyed in one fell swoop! But in this way, there is only a roundabout gradual change, starting with the addition and revision of laws, and making a long-term plan for reform."

"Such practical difficulties can't be solved by empty high-level arguments. Only by observing the current situation can we see the painstaking efforts of Marquis Wen Xin! Even so, according to the current situation in Qin State, Li Si dared to delay the revision of the law. Marquis Wen Xin would think twice. "

Suddenly, after a hundred breaths, a young man stood up from the crowd, first saluted the old man in purple robes on the low platform and Cai Ze, who had just become a gentleman on the high platform, then looked around and whispered Word.

Dressed in a light blue brocade gown, with handsome features, although not as handsome and unrestrained as Han Fei, but with a little more calmness, he whirled loudly, expressing what he got, to show his inner drive.

"Li Si! Cultivating the law is the top priority, why delay it!"

The general trend of the world is about to rise, and Qin Wangzheng is already in charge, if he can't revise the legal system as soon as possible and integrate his own principles into it, in a few days, I'm afraid these old officials will be useless.

What's more, in the process of the whole world, the Qin Law is not suitable for the countries in the Kanto region. If it can't be changed as soon as possible, even if it is the whole world in the future, it will still have to be amended. If this is the case, it should not be done now.

"Hahaha, Mr. Gangcheng, don't be angry. In today's discussion, you are planning for me and the country. I have benefited a lot, and I am very pleased! How about the ruling and opposition parties of Qin State?"

"In this case, to amend the Qin law, we must first have an academic debate. Otherwise, it will not satisfy people's hearts! However, since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, all disputes over legal reforms, politics, and governance have often been trapped in practical and utilitarian debates. On the one hand, they do not delve into the foundation of laws and state policies, and on the other hand, they do not gain insight into the long-term interests of generations to come, so that laws and regulations are reduced to punishment, and utilitarianism is imprisoned in front of the eyes."

"And if we want to reform the law again in the Qin State, we must first start with the academic theory, delve into the ways of governing the country in the past, and weigh the pros and cons of the law with the eyes of thousands of historians. If this kind of insight can be popular in the government and the public, there is hope for another reform! Things can be reversed, continue to add "Lushi Chunqiu", and then revise the law, the book is a preparation for the law! What do you think?"

Finally, the purple-robed old man who had been staying on the high platform slowly stood up, looked at the hundreds of scholars and disciples in front of him, smiled brightly on his face, bowed his hands, and said slowly.

There are those who agree and those who disagree, but those are not important. The important thing is that you decide to do this matter. Since you disagree, you can postpone it. Unfortunately, there is not much time left for yourself.

I hope that in the future, I can leave my own "Lu Shi Chunqiu" in the Qin State, the Warring States Period, and Zhuxia, so as to rectify the legal system of Qin Dynasty.

"Everyone's discussion of the law is not as good as Li Si's words! If I remember correctly, during that trip to Xinzheng, Li Si was the next Qin envoy."

"The way of Qin Law, I have planned for a long time. It is inevitable to revise Qin Law, but now is not the time. Wait for me to take the general trend to rectify the world, and then change the law of Qin State into the law of the world. If Mr. Han Fei enters Qin, this time It's easy!"

Also standing quietly in this place of discourse in Tianzhutang, Qin Wangzheng and the three listened for a long time, and each got their own gains. When Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei ended the debate with a word, Yingzheng sighed softly.

Scanning his eyes, he landed on the man in the light blue brocade robe in the crowd. This man seemed to see clearly, just as he thought, Qin Fa was going to change, but not now.

"Does Your Majesty know who this Li Si is?"

In Xinzheng, Li Si met Han Fei once. According to what he knew, Han Fei had already advised Li Si to deal with Xinzheng's crisis. Now, the other party is still calmly staying in the Wenxin Academy.

This man is not bad, he is worthy of being the mainstay of the empire in the long river of time. Hearing Qin Wangzheng's words, he smiled lightly again. Gold can shine everywhere. Being remembered by Yingzheng today will also be regarded as an opportunity in the future.

"Oh, according to the words of the master, this person is strange?"

Sure enough, Qin Wangzheng frowned upon hearing the sound, quite interested.
