Saint Qin Batu

The old man Zhongyin did not change his smile, but nodded again, and said: "If you can do this now, you can become a teacher now. As a teacher, there is nothing I can teach you."

"Thank you, teacher, but Zheng'er is afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill the teacher's order..." Zhao Zheng saw that the old man Zhongyin did not blame him, but felt even more apologetic.

"Zhenger!" The old man Zhongyin put away his smiling face and sat up straight, no longer as lazy as before, and said in a deep voice: "You are a rare talent in the ages, and the world has been in chaos for 800 years. You must It’s about to end, otherwise our Huaxia Ancestral Temple will not survive. The Huns in the north are getting stronger and stronger, Qin is okay, Yanzhao is already alone.”

"So, teacher, would you rather Yanzhao die in the hands of Qin, who is also in China, than in the hands of foreigners?" Zhao Zheng asked.

The old man Zhongyin nodded, then stared at Zhao Zheng, and said word by word: "I believe that you can do it, even if you can't do it now, in the future, the world will definitely make you a ruthless emperor." .”

Feeling the sea-like aura of old man Zhongyin, Zhao Zheng felt a little breathless, so he could only nod slightly bitterly.

Chapter 18 On the Way

Elder Zhongyin also sighed and smiled: "It may be too early for you to understand this..."

"The teacher is serious. The teacher wants the Chinese people in the world to not suffer from the flames of war. Zheng'er admires it very much." Zhao Zheng said respectfully.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!" the old man Zhongyin recounted helplessly.

This time, Zhao Zheng did not respond.Because, he really didn't know how to answer the old man Zhongyin.Warring States, this chaotic world, is worse than Spring and Autumn.During the Spring and Autumn Period, no matter how big or small a country was, people in the world, no matter how high or low, were more famous than rich.But now, it has gradually become more profitable than famous.The most typical example is that Zhang Yi, Prime Minister of Qin, deceived Chu and deceived the king of Chu three times. If it was in the Spring and Autumn Period, he would have died countless times.That's why Mencius, the great Confucian sage, had the famous "Fish and Bear's Paw".

"That's all, that's all. The future will be resolved by the people of future generations. I just need to be good at the present." The old man Zhongyin comforted himself as if he had seen through everything.

"Zheng'er, you are the son of Qin. Although your life is difficult now, you still have a noble status. What do you want to learn?" Elder Zhong Yin looked at Zhao Zheng again and asked with a smile.

Zhao Zheng replied without the slightest hesitation: "The learning of emperors!"

The old man Zhongyin was shocked when he heard Zhao Zheng's answer. "Is this the Emperor Star? Just a seven-year-old boy, does he already have such a goal?" Old man Zhongyin thought in shock.

"Are you sure? Then why didn't you want to be an eternal emperor before?" Zhongyin asked with a hoarse voice, puzzled.

Zhao Zheng looked at the old man Zhongyin seriously, and said solemnly: "It is Zheng'er who has emotions and desires, that's why Zheng'er wants to try to become an eternal emperor!"

"How to do it?!" The old man Zhongyin was not only shocked this time, but also full of questions.

"Zheng'er wants to repay his mother and let her sit on the most honored seat in the world. This is filial piety!"

"Zheng'er wants to unify China, annex South Vietnam and the North Huns, and eliminate the harm of China forever. This is righteousness!"

"Among the world, the two principles of filial piety and righteousness are the great good. If Zhenger wants to complete these two principles, how can he become a person who is heartless and emotionless?"

"Finally," Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, and said mischievously, "Since the teacher wants to train Zheng'er to be an emperor, if Zheng'er doesn't do it, it will be a disappointment to the teacher's teaching. And, heaven and earth, no Take it as a thief!"

After hearing this, the old man Zhongyin remained silent for a long time.

Zhao Zheng's heart was also jumping wildly. It was only a day since he arrived at the teacher's house.

"Well, maybe I was wrong. Since you have such great ambitions, Zheng'er, I am very happy to be a teacher. Well... from ancient times to the present, there are three ways to become a king. I will tell you all of them, you Choose and see which one you like the most." The old man Zhongyin no longer struggled, sighed, and continued.

"Zheng'er is all ears." Zhao Zheng clasped his hands together, pretending to be listening carefully.

"First, like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, educate all people and spread benevolence. This is the way of emperors." After finishing his speech, the old man Zhongyin looked at Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment, then shook his head, as if he was not satisfied.

Elder Zhongyin was not angry either, and continued: "Secondly, like the state of Zhou, it is the king's way to distribute enfeoffments and treat them with rites."

Zhao Zheng frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head again.

The old man Zhongyin continued to say the third method: "Third, just like the Qin State today, fight for hegemony with military force and stop war with war! This is domineering!" When the old man Zhongyin said the last method, his voice was loud. Involuntary trembling and excitement.

This time, Zhao Zheng obviously thought longer than before, but finally shook his head.

Elder Zhongyin was again confused by Zhao Zheng's reaction.Out of the ways of the emperor, the kingly way, and the domineering way, Zhao Zheng actually doesn't like any of the three ways to rule the world?

"Zheng'er, do you think none of these three methods are suitable for you?" Zhong Yin asked the old man.

"Teacher Hui, although these three methods are good, they are not permanent methods."

The old man Zhongyin nodded after hearing this, and signaled Zhao Zheng to continue with his eyes.

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath and said: "In the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, all people were uneducated and no different from savages. Therefore, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors went to educate them and gave them substantial benefits. The simple people will naturally support them."

Zhao Zheng paused, seeing that the old man Zhongyin didn't intend to interrupt him, and continued: "In the Zhou Dynasty, after nearly a thousand years, some people began to care for their own interests and disregarded morality. Zhou Gong's entrustment satisfied these people desires, and use Zhouli to standardize etiquette. Therefore, both the nobles at the top and the common people at the bottom can benefit.”

"However, in the Warring States period, there were seven heroes standing. The monarchs of various countries are no longer satisfied with the original land, and even the common people below are eager to make achievements. They are appointed as princes and prime ministers, and their children are born. Therefore, the countries are fighting endlessly, and the countries are united. , etiquette and law are abolished. Only by domineering and ending war with war can we get real peace."

"So, you want to unify China with dominance first, and then implement the kingly way?" After hearing Zhao Zheng's analysis, the old man Zhongyin had a slight guess of Zhao Zheng's thoughts.

Zhao Zheng nodded first, then shook his head quickly.

"In this era where etiquette is abolished and morality is despised, if you want to end it, you can only use your sword to kill your own enemies. Therefore, Zheng'er also believes that only domineering can push a country to its peak and turn the king of a country into a real emperor. "

"However, Zheng'er is not optimistic about the old etiquette and laws of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, he will not promote the kingly way."

"You want to implement a new political law?" Zhong Yin asked with narrowed eyes.

Zhao Zheng nodded firmly and said, "Zheng'er wants to establish a political law centered on the Son of Heaven. Everything in the world depends on the Son of Heaven, so that we can truly replace the herdsmen."

The old man Zhongyin frowned, thinking hard about the feasibility of this method.

After Zhao Zheng finished talking about his thoughts, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.There is still a lot of pressure to play a big knife in front of such a peerless wise man as the old man Zhongyin.

However, Zhao Zheng is not worried that his idea will be rejected by the old man Zhongyin.

Zhao Zheng is a person from later generations. Whether it is the real history or the world of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty, it has proved the superiority of the monarchy.

The Qin Dynasty in history was also a turning point in China from slavery to feudalism.

Of course, it's not that Zhao Zheng didn't think about the so-called constitutional monarchy or democratic republic system in later generations.However, after living in such a big dye vat in the Warring States Period, Zhao Zheng has completely given up such an idea.

The Warring States Period is not a later generation. It is difficult for the vast majority of civilians to obtain real education. They are no different from illiterates. In addition to China's vast territory and large population, the democratic republic system is simply not enough.

Maybe, a constitutional monarchy would look like a good choice.In fact, it is not the case. People in the Warring States Period are greedy.In this society with an incomplete legal system, the nobles at the top are much more greedy than the businessmen of later generations.Once the so-called constitutional monarchy is implemented, the country will definitely be bitten to pieces by these greedy wolves!

Zhao Zheng just looked at the old man Zhongyin quietly, and after waiting for a long time, the old man Zhongyin finally woke up from his contemplation.

It’s no wonder that the old man Zhongyin thinks about the old times. When a new thing appears, it is always difficult for people who have adapted to the old life to accept and change it, let alone the national policy that determines tens of millions of people in the country.The old man Zhongyin can seriously consider the feasibility of it, which is enough to show that he is beyond ordinary people.

The old man Zhongyin sighed again, and said: "This method is indeed unconventional. If it can be implemented for hundreds of years, then even if China is divided again in the future, there will always be one person to unify China. This is not only the old system of the predecessors, but also the people's hearts. Greed. A very nice idea, it's just..."

"Zheng'er, of course I understand what the teacher is thinking. Once the world is under the control of the emperor, then the enfeoffment must be cancelled. Without the princes, it means that there will be no nobles from the old six countries, or even seven countries. This is undoubtedly the same as the world's nobles. For the enemy."

The old man Zhongyin nodded silently, that was what he was worried about.

The old man Zhongyin looked at Zhao Zheng again, hoping that Zhao Zheng could give an answer again. For a moment, the identities of the two seemed to have been exchanged.
