Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

As the carriage went further away, Ying Wei sat by the window and raised the curtain to look into the distance. He saw billowing black smoke rising into the sky, and the mountain stream was engulfed in flames.

More than a hundred people died on the battlefield where Ying Wei was assassinated, and many of them were killed by Xuan Jian himself. In order to avoid the possibility of being investigated by a snare, all Xuan Jian could do was to burn everything.

Ying Wei believed in Xuan Jian's professionalism, so he looked away after a few glances.

……

Three days later, a tall man with a mask on his face and a snare fighting attire appeared in the mountains.

Dozens of killers in the trap are carefully searching for clues all around, hoping to find any clues.

The face behind the sun mask looked at everything in front of him gloomily.

Everything as far as the eye could see was scorched earth, and the surrounding trees were even burned into carbon.

And among the charred coals, the bones on the ground could be faintly seen, but these bones were all charred black, and some of them had even lost their shape.

You can imagine how difficult it is to find out what happened here not long ago among the corpses and ashes.

Zhanri fiddled with the scorched earth with his own scabbard-shielding sword, and found a few dead bodies. In the end, he shook his head, knowing that all the clues were broken here.

These bones were probably burned more than once, in order to destroy everything as much as possible and prevent subsequent snares from being discovered.

Since Luo Wang took refuge with Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei, the entire organization expanded rapidly in a very short period of time.

With Lu Buwei's support, the number of people and funds in the net increased exponentially.

With such huge resources, Luowen naturally develops very quickly, but Luowen also has some problems because of this, such as lack of manpower.

During the more than ten years when Luo Wang took refuge with Lu Buwei, he worked day and night to cultivate as many Luo Wang killers as possible.

After all, most killers have no independent ability and only accept tasks to kill.

Naturally, when no one is available, he can only go into battle personally, and then train more capable subordinates to share the work.

However, those responsible for concealing the sun are only a part of the Heaven and Earth.

However, Lu Buwei was personally in charge of the largest, tightest, and most important intelligence network on demons and demons.

Although Zhanri coveted the intelligence system of the 'Devils and Demons', he did not dare to have any covetous intentions in front of Lu Buwei and was always cautious.

Zhan Ri clearly understands that Tiansha Dijue is just a tool to perform tasks. He seems to have great power in controlling these killers, but in fact he is only following Lu Buwei's orders.

Only by mastering the demons and monsters, and combining the two, can the full power of the snare be unleashed, and at the same time gain tremendous power.

Such a national-level intelligence system is enough to make anyone greedy.

Because I have to do most of the work myself, I have been exhausted physically and mentally after spending more than ten years hiding from the sun.

Especially for some important tasks, even if he is not the one who directly takes action, he still needs to supervise.

For example, Xuan Jian's mission to assassinate Cheng Xi not long ago, and this time Jing Salamander's mission to assassinate Ying Wei.

This is also the reason why Zhanri was able to arrive at the scene in a short time after getting the news. He himself was supervising this task behind the scenes.

"There were hundreds of killers in the trap, and there was also Jing Salamander personally taking action. How could the mission fail?"

Zhan Ri was puzzled. It was clear that the information he had received before was that Jingshao had gained the trust of Lord Chang'an, and also knew the news that Lord Chang'an left Xiaoshengxian Manor.

The information was also correct. Lord Chang'an did indeed arrive on time. After leaving Xiaoshengxianzhuang and entering Wei from Qi State, Luo Wang's assassination was also carried out according to plan.

Everything went so smoothly, only there was a big problem in the result.

With the strength of Jing Salamander, it was another sneak attack. Next, that Chang'an Lord should have no chance of surviving.

Zhanri couldn't figure out the reason, and he never thought that it was a betrayal by someone within Luowang.

Because there were very few people who knew about this mission, and these people It is impossible to have any contact with Changan Jun

"My lord, this area has been examined and there are no useful clues."

A snare killer came to Zhenri and reported.

Although he had already guessed the result, Zhenri still asked without giving up:"……No useful information at all?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another killer reported:"……My lord, we find the mark of a rut here!"

Zhan Ri was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly looked at the marks under the leadership of the killer, and ordered to the snare killers present:"……Chase!"

Immediately, under the leadership of Zhan Ri, many trap killers followed the rut marks for more than ten miles, and finally lost all traces.

Zhan Ri personally checked the place where the traces disappeared, and his face became even more ugly. He knew that there was an expert hiding the traces, so even the net could not find any clues.

"Has Chang'an Jun come into contact with anyone in the past four years? Zhanri called a killer who was in charge of intelligence and asked.

The man hesitated for a moment and said:

"……Sir, we have been monitoring Lord Chang'an for the past four years, but we do not have enough manpower in Qi State, and the surveillance of Lord Chang'an has only been intensified in the past year."

"But Chang'an Lord has been in Xiaoshengxian Manor for a long time, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"As for whether Chang'an Jun has met anyone, my subordinates don't know."

Zhan Ri did not blame him, because this Lord of Chang'an of the Qin State had only become famous in the past year.

In the past ten years, whether he was in Xianyang Palace or after his study tour, he was just an ordinary person. The young master of the Qin Kingdom.

Even if he was accepted as a disciple by the Confucian Xunzi, it was not something worth taking seriously.

Until about a year ago, this little-known young master of the Qin Kingdom sent a batch of food from Xiaoshengxian Village. Bamboo slips.

All those bamboo slips are his joint works with Han Fei, the ninth prince of Korea, as well as his own thoughts and theories. The bamboo slips record a large number of Legalist techniques, the emperor's mind, and the governance of the country that he admired by"applying both virtue and punishment" Concept.

After reading these contents, the current King of Qin applauded loudly and urged his younger brother to return home quickly.

Even Lu Buwei praised him for his ability to manage the world and included his works in his"Lu Spring and Autumn Annals"".

You must know that Lu Buwei spent a lot of money and recruited talented people from all over the world to compile this miscellaneous masterpiece.

It uses Taoism as the main body, and many ideological theories such as famous schools, Legalists, Confucianists, farmers, military strategists, and Yin-Yang schools. As a material, it can be said to melt hundreds of schools of thought into one furnace!

Lu Buwei wanted to use this to find the ideology of Qin after it unified the six countries, so as to obtain a unified way of governing the country.

Although Lu Buwei's miscellaneous methods were used by hundreds of schools of thought I'm not ashamed, but I have to say that this unfinished book is the culmination of hundreds of schools of thought.

The book"De Xing" written by Ying Wei is also based on Taoism, but he does not integrate it as well as Lu Buwei. He has so many theories, but only uses Legalism and Confucianism as branches.

That is because although Lu Buwei accommodates hundreds of schools of thought, these theories are not his own, but compiled by his disciples.

Ying Wei worships Xunzi as his teacher. Having learned the true meaning of Confucianism, and having Han Fei as his senior brother, he also gathered the great masters of Legalism. The books he wrote are naturally more profound in Taoism, Confucianism, and Legalism. What

Lu Buwei praised the most about this book is that it is as if Ying Wei He has long known the form of the country after the unification, so he has given a set of well-founded theories of consciousness.

However, Lu Buwei is still just testing the theory with hundreds of schools of thought to see which theory More suitable for unification, who would have thought that Ying Wei would dare to clarify the details.

This made Lu Buwei shake his head and sigh, he really misjudged this Chang'an Lord in the past, he turned out to be such an unparalleled talent.

Since he is a great talent , Lu Buwei will naturally be more wary of Ying Wei, which is why Luo Wang has paid close attention to Ying Wei in the past year.

He even became more wary of Ying Wei after the rumor that"Ying Zheng is Lu Buwei's son" spread. Murderous intention.

In the plan to assassinate Ying Wei, Lu Buwei, who didn't like assassinations in these small ways, went out of his way to carry out the plan himself.

He chose Jingshao, a first-class assassin with Luowang Tianzi and a peerless beauty, as the candidate. The decision was made to approach and assassinate him as his concubine.

Initially, Jing Salamander was originally intended to be used to assassinate Wei Wuji. Although Lord Xinling was tabooed by the King of Wei, he should not be underestimated.

But in the end, after some comparison Later, Lu Buwei felt that Lord Xinling was nothing but Lord Chang'an, who was more dangerous.

There was only one Jing Salamander, so it was better to send him to his side. Who said Lord Chang'an had a huge weakness, that is, he was 'lustful'.

For this reason, Lu Buwei also A false identity was specially made for Jing Salad. If Ying Wei suspected Jing Sala and went to investigate, he would find that Jing Salad's past was complete and that she was the concubine sent here.

Anyway, he, Lu Buwei, even sent Ying Zheng's mother away, and if he sends one more person away, others won't say anything.

But who would have thought that Lu Buwei paid so much attention to it, but his plan still failed.

Even Cheng Xi was killed by Lu Buwei's plan, but this Chang'an Lord, who seemed to have no soldiers and no power, was completely innocent.

For a time, Zhanri also had a deep fear of this Chang'an Lord.

How he evaded pursuit, how he discovered the identity of Jing Salamander, and what he had done in the past four years. No one knows whether Jing Salamander is dead or alive now.

Especially if the other party returns to Qin at this time, what are his plans?

The more unknown and mysterious it is, the more frightening it is.

When he returned to Qin, King Qin, who had lost his left arm, gained his right arm. If the two brothers join forces, I'm afraid Lu Xiangbang will also encounter trouble.

After all, the King of Qin and Lord Chang'an are the royal family of the King of Qin, and he, Lu Buwei, is a minister of the State of Qin after all.

‘If Lu Buwei is weak, he will have to rely more on the power of the net. I may be able to use this to wrest more power from him. '

A trace of greed flashed in Zhiri's eyes hidden behind the mask.

He took refuge with Lu Buwei with a snare, and from being the leader of a small killer organization, he borrowed the power of the Qin State to become a behemoth that now scares the kings and nobles of all countries.

But now, these powers can no longer satisfy him. He wants to go one step further and seize the most important powers in the net in Lu Buwei's hands.

After tasting the delicious taste of power, no one can give up. If Luowang becomes the small organization it once was, I am afraid that Zhiri will be the first to go crazy.

……

At this time, Ying Wei had passed through the Wei State and arrived at the border of Qin and Chu, where Wang Jian's son Wang Ben was stationed at Yingdu, the former capital of the Chu State.
