Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

"Su Heng, you used to be a general in front of the palace. You understand most of the affairs in the court, and I know the same about you. You prevented me from leaving the city, not because of disobedience, but because of loyalty!"

"Similarly, you are now full of anger. You are angry with me because you are loyal. You are very angry because your loyalty is wrong and no one tells you. I understand all this, so I never thought of blaming you! "

"As soon as I set up a dynasty, the world can see what I did. Who would see me killing someone?"

"No! I dare to say, looking at the world, no one can blame me for any of my crimes. This is not to say how wise I am, but because I understand you, and I can rely on you and the world in many things!"

"But I understand you, and I rely on you, but who among you really understands me, and relies on me?"

"Get up, look in front of you, in the dark night, what is in your eyes?"

Ying Shou stared at the darkness in front of him, and said in a deep voice with a big hand pointing.

Su Heng got up slowly, came to Ying Shou's side, looked beyond the Great Wall, and saw darkness.

Even under the moonlight, there is not much to see.

He frowned and said, "Under the night, there is nothing but darkness!"

Ying Shou smiled and said, "Really, but in front of me, whether it's under the light or under the darkness, they are all great mountains and rivers, and they are my great mountains and rivers!"

"Understood, this is you, and there is a difference between Manchu civil and military eyes and what I see!"

"Last night, I wanted to go out of the city and go to the Donghu camp. In your opinion, it is extremely dangerous to go deep into the enemy's camp and enter the tiger's den."

"But from my point of view, it's in my world, walking in my back garden, why is it dangerous?"

"All along, the principle I adhere to is very simple. People who are not of my race must have a different heart. Only by completely taking them under my command can I rest assured."

"Only by destroying all possible enemies of Daqin can I rest easy. But how did you do it?"

"All along, you were either worried about this or that. You were full of worries, and never dared to take action at will. What happened in the end?"

"I don't have as many worries as you. In your opinion, perfection is the solution to everything."

"But in my eyes, the place I pass is the place where troubles retreat. But if there is any trouble in front of me, I will break it with all my might."

"So, for me, there has never been any danger or trouble in this world. Today, with an army of 80, we will test again, but if I want to leave, who would dare to stay?"

"If you are really in a good mood and want to stay, who would dare to expel me?"

At this point, Ying Shou paused, and said with a smile: "In the final analysis, many times, the worries come from lack of self-confidence, or lack of strength."

"When you have enough strength, all worries are just a joke!"

As he said that, Ying Shou suddenly raised his head to look at Su Heng. Seeing Su Heng's pensive expression, he smiled and said, "Su Heng, if I remember correctly, although you come from a military family, you have never had the chance to command a soldier. .”

"Before you entered the temple, you were just a knight-errant swordsman who was familiar with the art of war and full of ambitions, but could only travel around the rivers and lakes!"

Su Heng cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, before entering the court, the last general was indeed just a swordsman!"

Ying Shou nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, since the Spring and Autumn Period, until now, the way of the sword has been prevalent in the world."

"Tasting swords and discussing swords has long been the norm in the world. Since you are a swordsman, you should have your own experience with this sword. In your opinion, what should be the solution to this sword?"

Su Heng was stunned, wondering why Ying Shou suddenly asked about the way of swordsmanship, but he didn't ask further, he hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the swordsman, the king of a hundred soldiers, and the killer weapon, this is recognized by the world."

"However, when Lao Tzu of Taoism discussed the Tao, he used the Tao to discuss the sword. He said that discussing the sword is like discussing the heart."

"The way of tasting a sword, when it comes to killing weapons, cannot be recognized. The good and evil of the sword are no longer in the sword itself, but in the heart of the swordsman!"

"The heart is upright, the sword is upright, and the heart is evil, the sword is a killing weapon. If you judge the sword by the killing weapon, it can be said to be superficial!"

Chapter 944 Sima Ying

"Hehe, Su Heng, I'm asking you about the sword, not your discussion about the sword. It doesn't matter whether the sword is good or evil. A sword that can be controlled and exerts its power is a good sword!"

"You are right about one thing. Whether the sword is good or evil depends on the human heart. This is Lao Tzu's natural way. The changes of all things come from the human heart. It is the human heart that changes everything, not the evil of all things!"

"But one thing, you have to understand that Laozi is a sage, not a swordsman, let alone a swordsman. When he talks about swords, he talks about Tao and heart. Only the swordsman, the swordsman himself, can really talk about swords. !"

Ying Shou shook his head and smiled, noncommittal to what Su Heng said, and said, "Do you know who is the real number one swordsman in this world?"

Su Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "In today's world, if you want to talk about swords, the number one swordsman must be Ji Tianhou, the successor of Guigu!"

Ying Shou said: "That's right, since Ji Tianhou used his sword in the Battle of the Huns a year ago, no one has seen his sword edge, but I only summoned him a few days ago, and I can feel it." , his sword is already superb, it can be called the best in the world!"

"Sometimes, the quality of the sword, the discussion of the sword, is actually the product of the person, and it is the person, not the heart or the way!"

"This Ji Tianhou can be the number one swordsman in the world, but in my eyes, there is one person who far surpasses Ji Tianhou at this time!"

Su Heng was startled, and said, "Who is His Majesty talking about? It's so powerful!"

Ying Shou laughed and said, "Si Ma Ying!"

"Si Ma Ying?"

Su Heng's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help taking a breath, as if he had thought of something, his eyes were full of seriousness

"Sima Ying, is it possible that Your Majesty is talking about the Sima Ying who made Emperor Shihuang so reluctant to give up, restless to abandon, sleepless?"

Su Heng stared at Ying Shou and said solemnly.

"That's right, it's him. Although this person has passed away long ago, his legend has never disappeared in this world!"

Ying Shou nodded and said with a smile.

"That's right, his legend has never disappeared!"

Su Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Sima Ying, once, the First Emperor was still in Zhao State as a hostage, Qin State defeated the Zhao army, and the First Emperor was in danger. It was Sima Qian who broke through the siege in Handan of Zhao State with one man and one sword, and rescued the First Emperor. Send him back to Qin!"

"Once upon a time, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, everyone thought that the first emperor escaped death. However, there was only one person who never thought that Jing Ke could succeed, and that person was Sima Ying!"

"Sima Ying is the one who has truly mastered the art of swordsmanship. Throughout the ages, no one in the world has been able to discuss swords with him!"

"However, he still chose to rebel against the first emperor. At that time, the first emperor was reluctant to kill him, and he was uneasy about abandoning him. He could not sleep day and night and was restless. It was not until one month later that he led the Huben army to cover up and kill him. After all, he was paying a heavy price. At the price, end Sima Ying's legendary life!"

At this point, Su Heng paused, and said: "People say that the first emperor had four pains in his life. The first pain, he couldn't take A Fang away! The second pain, he killed Sima Ying with his own hands! The third pain, he lost Han Feizi, and the fourth pain, he couldn't keep the lieutenant. Liaozi!"

"Each of these pains made Emperor Shihuang heart-rending, and even the world was unified, Emperor Shihuang still had a heartache!"

Ying Shou seemed to think of something when he heard the words, and said in a calm voice: "Yes, these four pains have always been the pains of the first emperor's life, but the legend that can make the first emperor's heartache for a lifetime shows how severe it is!"

"I have never met Sima Ying himself, but I have seen the notes he left behind. This note describes Sima Ying's life, what he saw and heard, and his knowledge of the way of swordsmanship. Can you imagine Do you know how to taste swords and discuss swords in this record?"

"Sima Ying's transcript?"

Su Heng's eyes lit up. The moment he heard Sima Ying's transcript, he seemed to be surprised to find a treasure, and his eyes were full of desire.

Sima Ying has ruled the world all his life, and he is invincible when it comes to swords.In the heart of every swordsman, he is the supreme existence, and he is the unstoppable goal of others.

There are countless people following his footsteps, looking for his shadow, and wanting to embark on his supreme road, but in fact, who can do it?

If the world finds out that Sima Ying actually left a record on swordsmanship, it will become a treasure that swordsmen all over the world will vie for.

At this time, Su Heng's heart was already full of enthusiasm. Regarding Sima Ying's transcript, he didn't know what was going on, but after knowing it, his heart suddenly became agitated, and he wished to ask the emperor for it immediately.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I don't know... I don't know that in Sima Ying's transcript, is...is... how to talk about swords?"

Su Heng's voice trembled, and he stared at Ying Shou with burning eyes and asked.

Seeing this, Ying Shou suddenly smiled. Sure enough, the appeal of Sima Ying's notes to these swordsmen was never imagined.

He believed that if Su Heng was given a choice at this moment, he would take away Sima Yingdu's transcript without hesitation, even before he had a hundred thousand soldiers and riches.

"People in the world only know that Sima Ying betrayed the first emperor, which was not tolerated by the first emperor, and was finally executed in Changping, but they don't know that Sima Ying never betrayed the first emperor. He just chose his own way of sword between the first emperor and his own way of swordsmanship. truth!"

"Similarly, people in the world don't even know that Sima Ying was not killed by Emperor Shi Huangdi, he just fell on his own path of enlightenment and died under his own way of sword!"

Ying Shou looked up at the sky, and couldn't help thinking of the transcript of Sima Ying, which he had read since he was a child, telling the true legend of Sima Ying's life that no one knew.

In that transcript, Sima Ying integrated life and swordsmanship into four realms.These four realms describe the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and also describe a person's life.

Sima Ying was obsessed with swordsmanship all his life, and at the end of his life, he finally summed up the ultimate swordsmanship.It was said in the transcript that the initial state of kendo is for sword moves.The sword moves, the sword is sharp, and the move is fatal.

Under this state, everyone fights fiercely, thinking that there is no peer in the world, but they don't know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people, and their so-called sword moves are only controlled by the sword.Fighting for strength and fighting fiercely, but it's just that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

As Sima Ying said, at this first level, there are basically nine out of ten swordsmen who have broadened the world.These swordsmen, stick to their moves, always want to challenge everywhere, don't know how to restrain themselves.

After the first realm, sword moves, comes the second realm, swordsmanship.

A swordsman who has reached the second level has already begun to restrain himself.Swordsmen in this realm have transcended sword moves. Their swords only appear when they should appear, rather than showing their sharpness at any time.

The so-called fighting for strength and ruthlessness is a joke in front of people of this realm.

Swordsmen in the first level always want to fight heartily and blood boil when discussing swords, but after reaching the second level, they don't care about heartyness, let alone blood, they only want one result. "

"For this result, their swords can be used from any angle. Whether it is sneak attack or treachery, this is swordsmanship.

Chapter 945 Sima Ying's Transcript

Swordsmanship is not a sword move, and it is even more like a state of mind than a state of mind.The so-called swordsmanship is a kind of mind technique.

In this talk about swordsmanship, Sima Ying once mentioned Jing Ke, saying that Jing Ke's sword is also the sword of art, and it cannot go to the palace.

It means that Jing Ke is known as a famous swordsman in the world, but in the final analysis, no matter how powerful his swordsmanship is, he will never be able to make it to the stage. He can only live in the dark and try his best to carry out the assassination.

It seems that Jing Ke's assassination of the Qin Dynasty is to walk the great way of the world, to save the common people in the world and quell the wars among the countries.

Among them, swordsmanship is also described in this way.In swordsmanship, yin is used to overcome yang, softness is used to overcome rigidity, attacking its weak points, and one blow is fatal.

It seems to be invulnerable, but in the swordsmanship, treachery is hidden, although the sharpness is hidden, it still exists.

It seems that he has lost the will to fight for power, but in fact he is still fighting for it, sparing no effort and racking his brains.

In general, the second realm is to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.They didn't fight fiercely, but worked hard for the goal.Such mental tricks, if you are a little careless, you will fall into the actions of a villain, and you will not be able to stand on the stage.

From the first realm to the second realm, the transition is like a change from a teenager to middle age.Teenagers are pure in nature, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, frankly, happy is happy, unhappy is not happy.

It is different in middle age, for the thoughts in the heart, you can become gloomy, dark, know how to hide, have deep scheming, and never give up in order to achieve the goal.

And between the second realm and the third realm, there is another qualitative change.This is no longer a state that can be determined by knowledge, let alone a state that can be achieved by the strength of the sword.

The transition from the first realm to the second realm can be described by people's age changes and knowledge, but the transition from the second realm to the third realm cannot be used as a description at all.These are two different levels, and also two different realms.

The second realm of the sword, art, villain.

The third realm of the sword is the heart, the gentleman.

That's right, this is the difference between a villain and a gentleman, like the difference between a beggar and a nobleman, the difference between the two does not mean that you have changed in age.

In other words, some changes in mood can be achieved, which is completely a change in the world.

The first realm is sword moves, the second realm is swordsmanship, and the third realm is sword heart.

See your nature with a clear heart, and do the things of the great way with the heart of the great way.Such as the loftiness of the sky, the broadness of everything, the thickness of the earth, the virtue and the carrying of things.

Under the sword heart, all obstacles can be swept away with one sword.Where the sword's edge passes, the avenue lies.

People in this realm are the ones who truly carry the Dao.For example, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty, doing a bright thing in name, is actually the act of a villain assassin.

In Sima Ying's transcript, he described it like this, if I were Jing Ke, I would definitely kill Xianyang Hall with a three-foot sword in my hand.

With a bright and upright body, do the upright and bright things.

This point seems exaggerated, it seems that Sima Ying is belittling Jing Ke deliberately, but in fact, these are the behavior styles of two different realms, and they are also the difference between the two.

At that time, Sima Ying rescued the King of Qin from thousands of miles away and entered Handan City. Surrounded by thousands of troops and surrounded by layers, one man and one sword led Qin King Yingzheng to fight a bloody path.What a bright move this is, how can it be compared with Jing Ke's assassination?

But Sima Ying is not Jing Ke after all, his choice is completely different from Jing Ke, Jing Ke chooses to assassinate Qin, while Sima Ying chooses to help Qin.

Therefore, Sima Ying will never be able to kill the Xianyang Palace again one day.

As for Sima Ying's so-called betrayal of the first emperor, in fact, he had other choices, but this does not mean a real betrayal.

At that time, Chengjiao, Yingshou's father, was instigated by traitors to attack Yingzheng.Yingzheng was furious and wiped out the rebels, and finally Chengjiao was defeated.

Sima Ying didn't want the two brothers to fight each other, so he chose to stop it, so he fought hard with the first emperor, so that it was finally said that Sima Ying betrayed the first emperor.

In fact, although Sima Ying didn't keep Chengjiao in the end, he protected Yingshou's mother and the unborn Yingshou.

It's just that Cheng Jiao's death had a great impact on Sima Ying, and he once made him wonder if he was wrong.But after that, he finally understood one thing, to find the highest state of swordsmanship.

So he wrote Sima Ying's notes, and was finally taken away by Ying Shou's mother.

In this record, the highest level of kendo recorded last is also the fourth level. Sima Ying called it the King of Qin Sword, also known as the King's Sword.
