Chapter 271 Prince Fu (2)
Looking at the clean but not high-end inn in front of him, Li Yu, who was standing in front of the yard, couldn't help but touch his chin. He did not doubt the information he had obtained. Such a choice was quite in line with the taste of the two gentlemen.
"I wonder who the young master is?" After delivering the meal, Li Si looked at the boy in gorgeous clothes, as if he could feel an unspeakable demeanor on the other party, and a name suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Boy Li Yu, come and see Mr. Xunqiu and Mr. Zou Yan." Seeing the young man walking out of the house, a gleam flashed in Li Yu's eyes. He knew that the person in front of him was Li Si, the prime minister of Qin who had been famous for his eternal history. What made Li Yu even more moved was that Li Si was here, would the Han Feizi, who had created Qin's rules, still be far away?
"Two gentlemen are having a meal in the house, let me report it." Li Si nodded and wanted to turn around and walk into the house.
"Wait, this gentleman, since the two gentlemen are having a meal, I will wait again." If you have any questions, please feel free to show respect, not to mention that the two in the house are famous people of the world.
"So, General, please follow Si to the left room for a while." Seeing Li Yu so humble, Li Si sighed secretly and took him to his house. The other party was General Zhao State, the hero in front of Zhao Wang Dan. His power in this city of Handan is much greater than that of many nobles. He can't leave him outside and be cold.
"Thank you sir."
When he entered Li Si's house, Li Yu looked at the somewhat simple room casually and found that the only valuable thing was the more than ten bamboo slips on the table.
"Sir, are studying the law?" After looking at an open bamboo slip on the table, Li Yu read a few words carefully. He asked Li Si who brought the wine bottle curiously.
"That's right." He handed the wine bottle filled with wine to Li Yu, and Li Si closed the bamboo slips on the table, which recorded his views on the laws of various countries today. It is not easy to see them before people if they have not yet been perfected.
"I wonder what Mr. Si thinks about the current law?" Feeling Li Si's slight defense, Li Yu asked with a smile. When dealing with Qin Xiang, who has been famous throughout the ages, you must meet his preferences and take the initiative to open up the topic.
"The law of the seven countries is the magnanimity of the Chu State, and the strictness of the Qin State." Li Si answered. Li Si was not surprised that Li Yu knew his identity. As the city lieutenant of Handan City, he could not find out this matter, so it would be a waste of his reputation.
Hearing the perfunctory words in Li Si, Li Yu did not give up: "Sir, what kind of law is the best?"
"We should use heavy rules in troubled times, and the Qin law is the best." Li Si did not hesitate at all about this. Although the strictness of Qin law made the people of the six countries in Shandong feared. However, the strictness of Qin law made the security of Qin firmly ranked first among the six countries, which could be said to be a way to avoid being left behind. It also made the people of Qin develop the habit of following the law, so the Qin army has a basis for advancing and retreating, and its combat power is the best among the countries. The loose law of Chu State made the people of various countries flock to it. The wealth of Chu State was unparalleled, but it also made the combat power of the Chu State team plummet, and the Chu State, which originally dominated the world, gradually declined.
"The Qin law is strict, and occasionally a small mistake is punished. The people of the six countries are afraid of it like tigers. Why do you think Qin law is the best?" Another question was asked. Li Yu showed a faint smile on his face. Just be willing to speak, but he didn't believe that he, a person with a history of more than two thousand years, could not fool the other party.
"The general thinks how powerful the Qin army is?" Without returning to Li Yu's question, Li Si asked back.
"The six countries are the best." Li Yu, who has a deep understanding of the combat power of the Qin army, did not hesitate to say anything. Unless it was a legion formed by the Zhao people in their Zhao country, any army with the same number would have no chance of winning against the Qin army.
"What is the national situation of Qin?"
"It is difficult for all the six countries in Shandong to reach."
"In this way, Qin law is naturally the best."
"I admire my words. I dare to ask if sir. Is Qin's law suitable for me?" I found that he was asked in. Li Yu admired Li Si's thoughts very much. He is worthy of being the future prime minister of Qin and a great man who plays power.
"Everyone has its own way of doing things in the world. Qin's law is suitable for Qin, but not Zhao."
"Sir, please give me advice."
"Qin Law was created by Shang Jun. It was supported by King Qu Liang of Qin. After a hundred years, it was the current situation of Qin. One reason was that Qin Law broke the benefits of the old clan of Qin and the support of the people of Qin. It was even more beneficial to Guanzhong. The six countries could not be affected. Zhao was in the four battles. If Qin Law was replaced, the national situation would inevitably be turbulent. The general thought that the current situation in Zhao State could withstand turbulence?"
Speaking of the field he specialized in, Li Si temporarily put down his guard and said endlessly: "The battle of Yongcheng was about to break out. All countries covet the will of Shi Ni, the Gaodu of Zhao State, and the will of Zhao State, will not die. If Zhao State forcibly reform, it will only lead to the disaster of the destruction of the country. If Zhao State wants to reform, it must proceed in sequence and get the support of the nobles. However, if the nobles do not break the benefits, the reform will not be called reform. If Shen Buhe is like this, it is just a temporary choice..."
Listening to Li Si's long speech, Li Yu was very ashamed. He really had the idea of imitating Qin's law. After all, Qin was the candidate to unify the six countries. After the other party said this, Li Yu found that he was a little too naive. Qin could reform and create an opportunity to unify the country, which was the right time, place, and people, but they were not working at all.
Once the reform touches the rights and interests of the major nobles, Li Yu thought about it and knew that no matter how powerful he was, he would be overthrown in an instant. Any noble would support others to limit or even divide their own interests, unless they are saints, and there is no saint in today's world. Confucius, who was respected as a saint in later generations, was only praised by Confucianism at this time, and there were even many objections to Confucius in Confucianism.
"I was reckless just now, I hope the general will forgive me." After taking a breath, Li Si remembered that this place was not the Jixia Academy where he argued with others, nor was the other party a soldier who studied the law, but a general who had a great influence in the Zhao court.
"Mr. I heard the words of the sir and felt like sweet rain. How dare I be different?" Li Yu smiled and replied with a bow. He agreed with some of Li Si's statements, but he also had his own ideas. After all, Li Si's knowledge of the law has not reached the level when he was in charge of Qin, and he was not the amendment to the Qin law. Many things are not perfected.
"The two gentlemen must have used up the dinner, so Si will report it to the general." After looking at the hour, Li Si walked out of the house. At this time, he had no real intention of Zhao State, and it was impossible for him to talk to Li Yu to go deeper. The most ideal thing in his heart was Qin State, which was far away in Guanzhong.
Following Li Si, Li Yu walked out of the house and saw Li Si walking into the main house for a moment and walked out: "General, please invite both gentlemen."
"Mr.
When he stepped into the main room, Li Yu saw a middle-aged man sitting against the desk with a white-haired old man, with a chess game on the table. The white-haired old man was holding a white chess game and was unable to make a move.
In this case, Li Yu didn't have to guess who he knew who belonged. The old man with white hair must be Xunzi, a Confucian scholar, and the middle-aged man with black beard and black hair was the founder of the Five Destiny Theory, Zou Yan, a famous Yin-Yang family. If the information is correct, Zou Yan was three years older than Xunzi, but he looked like a middle-aged man. It turned out that he had good health preservation. Li Yu was a little envious and was thinking about how to get some secrets.
"I am defeated." After hesitation, the white-haired old man put down the pawn in his hand and admitted his defeat.
"It's undecided. Failure is common, do you agree?" Zou Yan picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. He turned to look at Li Yu and asked with a smile.
"The boy is not good at chess skills and dare not speak nonsense." Li Yu maintained a full sense of humility in front of the two old men, who were nearly 12 years old.
"I wonder why the general is here?" After taking the silk cloth handed over by Li Si, he wiped his hands. Xunqiu picked up the wine bottle and drank a sip of the wine, and asked indifferently.
"Yu came here this time, one wanted to meet two gentlemen who were famous all over the world and admired by the world. The other took the liberty to beg Mr. Xun to be the tutor of the Crown Prince of Zhao." Facing the two of them, Li Yu did not pretentiously and said his purpose in a blunt way. He had already framed the Crown Prince Qi, so Li Yu added a little bit to the Crown Prince Qi. Xun, who was famous for the world, became the Crown Prince Qi, and those rumors were self-defeating.
As the Crown Prince's Master, Li Yu is actually not a real teacher. The Crown Prince's Master and the Crown Prince's Master are like substitute teachers and formal teachers in later generations, and their status cannot be compared. The Crown Prince's Master is an official who teaches the Crown Prince's morals and knowledge full-time. He must be the title of the Supreme Lord and has a transcendent status. This is also the reason why Li Yu was a warrior and served as the Crown Prince's Master without being strongly opposed by the ministers.
"Oh, General thinks, I will agree with your suggestion?" After stroking his long beard, Xunqiu looked at the young general in front of him with interest.
"How dare Yu have such extravagant hope? However, Yu knew that Mr. Zhao was a man of Zhao, so he would naturally be happy to see the powerful state of Zhao." There was no long discussion, Li Yu's reason was very simple. The scholars in the past have a knot in their hometowns. They didn't see Zhang Liang, who was sang in the future, never forgetting Korea.
"I am old and may be disobeying the general's kindness." Hearing Li Yu's reasons, a gleam flashed in Xunqiu's eyes, and he shook his head and sighed.
"The Xun family was persecuted by treacherous ministers, and their connections were withered. Now there is only one girl left. It's not that Mr. Husband has such a thought. However..."
Li Yu was about to continue speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by the excited Xunzi: "My Xun clan has descendants. I hope the general will tell you who is that girl?"
"The girl is living a healthy life now, and no one knows about it. As for the girl's name, she heard that she is called Xun Huan and her father is Xun Liang." After anticipating Xun's mood, Li Yutan said with a smile, which was also his biggest trump card for this trip.
During the time of the former king Zhao He, the Xun family was framed by eunuchs and killed all the family. Only Xunqiu, who was studying abroad, escaped. Later, the incident of Miao Xian broke out, but King He did not kill him, because Miao Xian was the recommended by Lin Xiangru, who was the prime minister at the time. However, Miao Xian was also exiled by King Zhao He in the countryside and could not return to Handan until he died of old age.
With such hatred, Xunqiu naturally hated his homeland very much. However, as a famous Confucian scholar, Xunqiu, who has his own principles, did not slander Zhao with his personal grudges. No one knows the inside story. Even though Xunqiu did not set foot on the land of his homeland for decades, people in the world thought that he was pursuing academic research, and his disciples had not studied it thoroughly.
Before coming here, Li Yu mobilized the energy of Chengwei Mansion to investigate the descendants of Xun's family. The Xun family case was a major case, so Chengwei Mansion was naturally recorded. Li Yu's luck seemed to be good. In just half a day, Chengwei Mansion found the handler of the Xun family case that year, and found a clue from the few remaining old men, which shocked Li Yu.
