Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

A carriage was driving on the border between Qin and Chu. The terrain here was flat and open. Only the carriage was traveling alone, and it was a bit quiet.

Suddenly, flags of the Qin army were raised on the distant horizon, and accompanied by thousands of horses galloping, an elite Qin army of thousands appeared in the distance of the carriage.

"drive - drive——"

The sound of shouting and the galloping of thousands of horses made the earth tremble, and a cold and murderous atmosphere lingered in this area.

The horses pulling the carriage also felt the terror, and they stomped on the spot and snorted. The driver was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to move.

Not long after, this thousand-man troop arrived not far in front of the carriage. The entire troop was fully equipped and silent, showing that it was an army capable of hundreds of battles.

"appeal——"

One of the leading generals stopped the horses from running wildly. He rode on the horse and controlled the movement of the horses. He asked loudly to the chariot in front:"……But Lord Changan is here?"

"Exactly!"

A young man's clear voice came from the chariot.

The general asked again:"……I wonder if Lord Chang'an has a seal?"

As he said this, a soldier next to the general stepped forward with a wary face.

The curtain of the chariot opened, and under the gaze of the Qin soldiers, a young man wearing brocade clothes walked out.

His face was as bright as a crown. Jade is gentle and elegant. Although he has a gentle smile on his face, he is not angry and has no authority. He has a natural nobility.

After seeing this young master, the leading Qin army generals have already believed that he is the Lord of Chang'an. After all, with such aura and temperament, Not everyone can pretend.

But if you want to prove your identity, you still need a seal.

Ying Wei took out a seal about two centimeters from his arms. This is his identity certificate as Lord Chang'an.

‘As the highest title in the Seven Kingdoms, the Lord will carve a jade seal like this when he is made a Lord, and the Lord will carry this seal with him at all times and must not lose it.

What Ying Wei gave to Xuan Jian before was just the jade pendant with 'Wei' printed on it. It could only be regarded as a personal belonging of Lord Chang'an, but it could not be used as identification.

After handing the seal to the sergeant in front of him, Ying Wei handed him a bamboo slip.

The sergeant brought the seal and bamboo slips back to the Qin army's formation and handed them over to the leading general for inspection.

The general took the seal and inspected it carefully. It was genuine. He also saw that the bamboo slip was actually written by the King of Qin and had the seal of the King of Qin.

Ying Wei's identity can no longer be doubted.

The leading general quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head and clasped his fists:"……Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the last army, pays homage to Lord Chang'an!"

As Li Xin bowed down, thousands of Qin troops all bowed down and shouted loudly:"……Meet Lord Changan!"

Looking at the dense crowd of figures kneeling in front of him, they are all elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, and are the tiger and wolf divisions of the Qin State. But in front of him, these soldiers who are bravely killing the enemy on the front line and not afraid of life and death are all Not daring to raise his head, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, as if he were standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking the world.

At that moment, Ying Wei was full of heroic spirit, and there was excitement in his heart. He once again affirmed that sentence - a real man cannot live without power for a day!

No! People who have enjoyed the wonder of power cannot understand the pleasure. It is no wonder that so many people in history have fought for power and sacrificed everything for it.

Ying Wei took a deep breath, suppressed the greed in his heart, and warned himself that power is poison, and he can only Control your own power and never let power control you

"The last general will plead guilty. In this important military area, everything must be strictly enforced. There are too many spies in the state of Chu. Previously, it was impossible for anyone to trust him with just a jade pendant."

"Finally, I have neglected Lord Chang'an, and I hope you will punish me!"

Li Xin quickly apologized, feeling uneasy in his heart.

To be honest, when he knew that the task of coming to greet and confirm the identity of Lord Chang'an was given to him, he was reluctant. The last thing sergeants like them want to do is to fight with Ying Wei and other relatives of the royal family came into contact.

If these royal nobles were domineering, for example, if they were angry that they did not trust their identities, they would even conduct inspections.

For this reason, if the Chang'an Lord scolded him or even punished him, Li Xin would only If you can endure it, you still have to laugh.

《The"Shang Jun Shu" contains detailed military affairs, and the"Qin Code" also ensures its legality by law, as if everyone must strictly implement it.

But if anyone really believes it, he is a fool, just like the sentence in"The Book of Shang Jun","The emperor commits the same crime as the common people". If anyone really believes this, he will not be far from death.

The powerful, especially the royal family, are always special!

Ying Wei laughed and said:"……What crime did Li Qianfu commit? You are also for the stability of my Daqin border"

"Get up quickly, you and your soldiers will escort me to Yingdu."

Of course Ying Wei understands that it is impossible to convince Wang Ben with a piece of jade pendant. After all, if he had died in an accident and the enemy used his belongings to trick the Qin army into opening the city gate, that would be a big deal.

But with Wang Ben With his own abilities, it is impossible for him to commit such stupidity.

Although Ying Wei has lived for more than ten years at the end of the Warring States Period, he has also contracted the bad habits of some royal nobles.

But as a modern human soul, unless it involves his own life and death , otherwise as long as there is reason and evidence, he is actually quite casual.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Li Xin was finally relieved. This Lord of Chang'an really had both virtue and punishment. He clearly coincided with Qin's rewards and punishments, and the rumors were correct.

But Li Xin didn't dare to recognize his identity just because the other party was kind.

This Lord of Chang'an is also a master of Legalism, and Legalists are most afraid of their subordinates kicking their noses and faces. At that time, there would be no virtue and benevolence, only punishment and punishment.

Li Xin respectfully stepped forward and took the Ying Wei in his hand. The seal and the bamboo slips were returned.

When he saw the driver who was driving for Ying Wei, he was wearing civilian clothes, in his thirties, with lean and dark skin. At this time, he was trembling with fear, so he frowned and asked:"……Your Majesty, who is this coachman?"

Ying Wei glanced at the driver and said calmly:"……My former bodyguard and coachman all died in Wei."

"I found this coachman in Wei State. He is good at driving carriages and has followed caravans before, so he is familiar with the roads."

"The situation was urgent and I had no choice but to give him some money to drive for me."

Ying Wei asked Xuan Jian to send the information that he was being attacked, and asked Wang Ben to send someone to respond.

When Li Xin heard this, he said angrily:"……Wei Guo is so brave, he dares to attack your Majesty!"

Ying Wei didn't say anything. Li Xin didn't have enough status, so he naturally didn't know that this was all Lu Buwei's idea.

Wang Ben should have understood that the attack on him came from the power struggle within the Qin State and had nothing to do with the Wei State.

But these are Family ugliness should not be publicized, and it must not be laughed at by the other six countries.

So even if this matter has nothing to do with the Wei State, the blame must be shouldered by the Wei State.

Well, let’s see if we can go to the Wei State and capture a few cities someday. Avenge yourself, it would be better if you can destroy Wei directly.

Ying Wei murmured in his heart.

King Wei: ???? This is what people say!

"Your Majesty, this driver is an outsider after all, so I will drive for you!"

Ying Wei was attacked before, which had nothing to do with Li Xin, but now that he has received the task of protecting Ying Wei, he naturally can't believe such a coachman.

What if this coachman has been forbearing and suddenly assassinated him when he was approaching Qin? If he had injured Lord Chang'an , that is his dereliction of duty.

This dereliction of duty is not small, he will definitely be beheaded, and his family may also be implicated.

After all, this is the Lord of Chang'an, the only younger brother of the current King of Qin after the death of Cheng Yu, and who in Qin State doesn't know, King Qin was so looking forward to the return of his younger brother.

If something happened to Lord Chang'an, even ten of his heads wouldn't be enough to cut him off.

Ying Wei nodded. This famous general in the late Warring States period was indeed a thoughtful person.

Listening After hearing the name Li Xin, Ying Wei knew who the other party was.

Perhaps most people's memory of Li Xin is that he was too arrogant and led 200,000 Qin troops to attack Chu, and was defeated in the end. However, the main reason for the failure of his attack on Chu was not Li Xin, but the betrayal of Lord Changping. You must know that before Lord Changping betrayed, Li Xin was victorious.

With the rewards and punishments of Qin, Li Xin If such an arrogant person is defeated, he will definitely end up miserable.

But in the end, Li Xin just disappeared from history, and neither himself nor his family was involved in any way. Among his descendants is the famous Western Han Dynasty general"Flying General" Li Guang.

From this we can see that the Qin State did not attribute the reason for the defeat to Li Xin at all, but he was indeed defeated and could not be appointed again, so he could only disband and return to his fields.

But before that defeat, Li Xin and Wang Jian broke through The State of Zhao defeated Yan Dan at Yishui, captured the King of Yan with Wang Ben, and finally destroyed the State of Qi. He was absolutely one of the famous generals in the world!

Of course, Li Xin is just a captain of thousands under Wang Ben, and he has not yet shown himself Talent.

Ying Wei's eyes flashed at this time, thinking about Li Xin.

Military power is very important. If you want to live well, you must control an army. The reason why Brother Zheng is overwhelmed by Lu Buwei now He was angry because he didn't have a single available soldier.

But even if he has some military power, if he doesn't have a qualified general, there will be problems.

And Li Xin in front of him is a good candidate.

In the future history, he He has proven his ability, and his current status is not high, so he is simply the best target to win over.

As for the Wang family and the Meng family, Ying Wei's idea is not to have too close contact with them.

After all, these two families are famous generals of the Qin State. The aristocratic family has always controlled part of the military power. If he has too much contact, he will inevitably have emotional problems with Brother Zheng.

As the emperor of the ages, in the position of emperor, Brother Zheng must grasp the balance.

Again, the same sentence , don’t test human nature, let alone test the emperor’s character.

Ying Wei is proficient in the art of Legalism. He doesn’t need Brother Zheng to help him position himself. As long as he positions himself, he can live in harmony with Ying Zheng in this life. Brother Youdi Gong.

Ying Wei's goal has always been clear. He will not take the position of Prime Minister. It is too tiring. He would rather be an idle prince.

With his status as the Chang'an Lord of Qin State, he is actually under one person. , more than tens of millions of people.

But if you want to be a hedonistic prince, you must also have power, and part of the military power is inevitable! A prince without power is just fish and meat, then he is not idle.
