Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

"My brother pays homage to Brother Wang!"

Outside Zhangtai Palace, Ying Wei was waiting at the foot of the steps with Han Fei.

Seeing Ying Zheng walking out of Zhangtai Palace quickly, Ying Wei dusted his sleeves, smiled, and bowed.

"Third brother, come on, please give me a courtesy. Why do we need so many gifts between you and me?"

Ying Zheng hurriedly came to Ying Wei, holding up Ying Wei who was bowing his hands, and spoke in a friendly tone.

Although the emperor should be powerful without anger, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, his expression remains unchanged, but at this time Ying Zheng didn't want to at all. Regardless of so much, the smile on his face almost reached to his ears.

Han Fei, who was standing next to Ying Wei, was secretly stunned when he saw this. Although there have been rumors from the outside world that the current King of Qin and his younger brother Chang'an Jun are very close, but the rumors are just rumors after all.

Han Fei saw it with his own eyes today, which proved that the external rumors were correct. The two only large royal families in the Qin Kingdom did have a deep relationship.

Throughout the ages, there have been many royal families fighting openly and secretly, but only a few are brothers, friends, and brothers. Today, they are the most powerful. Han Fei was envious of the fact that Qin could see this scene.

You must know that when he was in South Korea, although he had no intention of competing with his brothers, he was forced by the general situation and finally had to compete with his fourth brother for the title of crown prince. Except for his sister Honglian, who is a compatriot from the same mother, Han Fei has a very weak relationship with all his brothers and sisters, and some of them are even hostile to him.

If the teacher were here and saw the relationship between King Qin and Lord Changan, he would also want to Send out words of praise.

Han Fei thought in his heart.

Isn't the relationship between King Qin and Lord Chang'an in line with the benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust pursued by Confucianism? Isn't it the representative of benevolence and righteousness.

Compared with Qin, the royal families of other countries are more He looked like a barbarian who didn't know civilized etiquette.

Han Fei was thinking a lot. When he saw Ying Zheng looking at him, he quickly knelt down and bowed to the ground:"……Han Fei, the sinner, pays homage to the King of Qin!"

Ying Wei can just bow his hands as a salute, but as a young master of a defeated country, Han Fei cannot lose his etiquette.

The King of Qin, who had greeted Ying Wei before and smiled, suddenly smiled after seeing Han Fei. He completely restrained himself and became the calm and authoritative king.

He nodded gently and his tone was gentle:"……He is a great talent. I have read his books and wish I could meet him."

"Now that I see my husband in such a situation, I feel very sad."

Han Fei was also humble and polite at this time, and said quickly:"……Han Fei's talents are not as good as those of Chang'an, but the king is flattering him."

Han Fei's words were modest. Although he thought he was not as good as Ying Wei, Han Fei thought that as a king who was thirsty for talents, Ying Zheng should give him a few words of encouragement.

Who knows? Ying Zheng simply did not follow the ordinary path and acknowledged Han Fei's words:"……Sir, having such knowledge is worthy of his own talent."

Who said that because the other party is humble, I have to say something nice? Ying Zheng said that as long as I am not embarrassed, it will be others who are embarrassed. Anyway, I am the King of Qin, and what I say is right.

Ying Zheng's meaning is obvious. , just telling Han Fei that you are not as good as my brother, and you still have self-awareness. I agree with you on this point.

Ying Zheng’s overly straightforward words embarrassed Han Fei himself, but in front of him was King Qin, even if he was embarrassed, he had no choice but to endure it, feeling aggrieved.

When he was in Korea, his junior brother said that King Qin loved him and wished he could meet him.

Why did he not care about him at all when they finally met?!

Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei, inexplicably a little impatient. You, an outsider, are here, how can I talk to my third brother about myself?

However, there are some things in this man's works that make sense, so Ying Zheng is strong Enduring his impatience, he decided to have a good chat with Han Fei.

This is a qualified king. Even if he feels unhappy, he must persevere for the sake of the great cause.

Ying Zheng invited Ying Wei to enter Zhangtai Palace together, while Han Fei He followed behind with his head lowered.

When he came to the palace, Han Fei saw stacks of thick papers placed on the soft couch where King Qin was sitting, which looked like a modern office.

And when he thought of those The number of words loaded on the paper can be seen as how much government affairs Ying Zheng has to deal with every day.

Seeing this scene, compared with his father, Han Fei had to admit that the kings of the two countries were really very different.

Especially the Qin State Paper-based office work has begun, and other countries are still using bamboo slips, which has already caused a blow to administrative efficiency.

Han Fei also heard that even before the invention of paper, the King of Qin had to read nearly a hundred kilograms of bamboo slips every day. With such a workaholic attitude, if the Qin State is not strong, who can be strong?

Ying Wei sat at the bottom, and the maids brought sweet pastries and tea. He drank tea and desserts there, watching the government with interest. He didn't say a word about Han Fei's school entrance examination.

It was different from the official history where the First Emperor wanted to travel with Han Fei, and it was also different from the original book where the King of Qin wanted Han Fei to work for him when he saw him.

Now When the King of Qin saw Han Fei, he was really taking the exam and asked him what he thought. There was no enthusiasm at all for Han Fei to come to Qin as an official and to give Han Fei the position of prime minister.

After a long time, Han Fei all It was because he was asked by Ying Zheng that his brain ached.

Ying Zheng could speak freely, but he, Han Fei, could not answer casually. He had to think carefully about every word for fear of answering wrongly. If he answered wrongly, it would be a small accident for him, but if it harmed his family, he would be punished. Ying Zheng came up with a move to Wang Dun: stripping away the skills of the three clans, then he, Han Fei, would be the eternal sinner of the Korean royal family.

Ying Zheng chatted with Han Fei like this for more than half an hour, and Ying Zheng was quite uninterested. road:"……Sir, you are really talented"

"However, since the husband is unwilling to come to Qin to serve as an official, it is not easy for me to force him." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"But I can't let my husband go. I hope he can understand."

"Your husband has a close personal relationship with Mr. Chang'an. If anything happens in the future, he will go to my younger brother. I think Mr. Chang'an will not neglect you."

These words came out of Ying Zheng's mouth, which was an order to expel guests.

Han Fei had a clear mind, and he also wanted to leave Zhangtai Palace as soon as possible.

If he was still the ninth son of Korea, he would not be so cautious in front of Ying Zheng.

Now he is just subjugating the country. The young master is no different from a commoner. He is too tired to speak in front of the King of Qin.

"Han Fei thanked King Qin!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and motioned to the eunuch to take Han Fei down and let him wait.

After Han Fei left Zhangtai Palace, Ying Wei, who had been drinking tea and eating snacks, put down the food in his hands, confused. Puzzled:

"……Brother Wang had always praised Han Fei's talent, so why was he so cold when he saw him now?"

Ying Zheng smiled at Ying Wei and said apologetically:"……Gu and Han Fei chatted for a long time, which made the third brother wait a little longer."

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng said again:"The reason why Gu is indifferent to Han Fei is that I have recently read Han Fei's works, but I feel that some of his words are not in line with Gu's heart."

"At that time, it was probably due to Gu's lack of experience that he greatly appreciated Han Fei's words. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that Han Fei's words were too harsh and ruthless."

"The emperor's art he wrote seems to be extremely correct, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, and people are not sages, how can they not make mistakes?"

"The king Han Fei talks about is too idealistic. How can anyone achieve it?"

"Secondly, Han Fei’s court in South Korea has also proven that he is just a Zhao Kuo and his ilk who are talking on paper."

"Well, according to the third brother, he is just a theorist, not a practitioner. He can explain the truth clearly, but people need to execute things, and Han Fei does not have the ability to execute."

"He also made it clear in his book that as a king, he should beware of his brothers, relatives and friends. Although Gu knew what it meant to be alone, but Gu was not like the King of Wei, so how could he not tolerate Wei Wuji?"

Ying Zheng spoke eloquently about his feelings towards Han Fei and why he made such a decision:

"After all, Han Fei was the son of South Korea, and South Korea had just been destroyed by Qin. If he stayed in the Qin court and talked about his theories with others every day, wouldn't he want to be alone with his third brother?"

"At that time, the King of Han sent Zheng Guo to Qin in order to weaken Qin. Although the final result was that the waterway was opened and Guanzhong was fertile and wild for thousands of miles, Han's purpose was not good."

"I will not easily believe the words of other countries. I understand why Qin is strong."

Finally, Ying Zheng laughed loudly and concluded:"……Han Fei's talents are not as good as those of his third brother, so why bother with Han Fei if he only has his third brother!"

Don't mention it, Ying Wei's blood boiled a little after hearing what Ying Zheng said, and he wanted to be boiled to death.

He calmed down and praised:"……Brother Wang has realized his own way.

Ying Zheng leaned forward and asked curiously:"What is that way?""

Ying Xi paused for a moment and said,"Whether it is Legalism, Confucianism, or any other school, their theories are definitely not perfect."

"As an emperor, you should act royally and domineeringly, and you should not be influenced by any family."

"If Brother Wang practices Legalism, wouldn’t he be bound by Legalism? If Brother Wang practices Confucianism, he will only be bound by Confucian etiquette."

"The people from each family will only think that they have influenced Brother Wang and made him become a slave of the Bai family."

"Brother Wang is a king, and he is above a hundred families. As long as it is useful, he can use it. How can he stick to formalities?"

"The way of a saint is to act without fighting, so do everything without doing anything!"

Ying Wei said decisively, this is exactly his philosophy. Senior leaders should follow Taoism, only seek natural principles, seek truth from facts, and serve as the sect of hundreds of schools of thought to check and balance hundreds of schools of thought!

Taoism does not tell you what you must do, it just tells you It’s a great truth, and you have to understand the rest by yourself.

Legalism and Confucianism tell you bluntly what you must do as a king. If the king does it according to the requirements of Legalism or Confucianism, is he still a king?.
