My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

After the Second Emperor finished speaking for a long time, the place was still silent, and everyone looked thoughtful.

From Yuxia to the Warring States, no country's laws have ever been for fairness and justice, and no king or prince has ever prescribed laws from the perspective of the people.

The existence of law itself is to maintain the rule of the superior, and this is true for the three schools of Legalism: Fa, Shu, and Shi.

"Hearing His Majesty's words, I can take a deep breath."

Xunzi said happily.

Among his disciples, there were many successful ones, but none of them inherited Confucianism.

The knowledge of saving the world, in the ears of Han Fei and Li Si, became the Legalist theory of maintaining rule, and in the ears of Zhang Cang and Lu Jia, it became the pursuit of immortality and debate.

Xunzi did not criticize his disciples harshly. He even encouraged his disciples to have their own opinions. Disciples do not have to be inferior to their teachers.

But deep down in his heart, he inevitably had a trace of regret. Where were his descendants, the people who could walk on the same path as him?

It wasn't until that young man traveled across mountains and rivers, from Qin to Qi, and visited the academy three times, and took the trouble to invite him, and sit down and talk with him, that he put an end to this regret.

It's just that after so many years, Xunzi is still Xunzi, and that young man suddenly changed and became the emperor of Qin, with a completely different status and status.

Whether the second emperor's heart was still that of a young man or not, Xunzi was unsure.

Now it seems that he is still the same boy as before.

The second emperor lowered his head and pretended to sincerely seek advice.

People have two eyes. Xunzi can only close one, but what about the other?There will be a lesson later!
Xunzi claimed to be the heir of Confucianism, but in fact he was an expert in all schools of thought. He was the only outstanding person in the world who was favored by Gui Guzi.

How could Ying Chengyu not listen carefully to the most important teaching before his death.

He was always aimless, but Xunzi never said empty words without beginning or end.

"Your Majesty has expressed what I am thinking, what Confucianism means. In that case, why not declare Chen Ping's crime and deal with it publicly in accordance with the "Qin Code"?"

Ying Chengqian remained silent.

How to deal with this publicly?It was his brother who gave the order to massacre the city.

The Yi tribe was the conspirator, but what about the First Emperor who personally gave the order?
It is definitely impossible for the Yi tribe, but Ying Chengyu is not willing to accuse the "deceased" First Emperor.

He has always been a selfish person, and he never denies it.

"It's just a relationship with the late king."

Xunzi no longer made things difficult for the two emperors, and once again asked and answered his own questions.

"Publicly announcing Chen Ping's guilt and killing Chen Ping means that the order issued by the late king to slaughter Lanling was wrong. Your Majesty is unwilling to add a single flaw to the late king's reputation, even if it was his own fault."

Ying Cheng looked ashamed, but he did not pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, but said calmly:
"In the past, Wu Zixu wanted to avenge his father. After he invaded the Chu Kingdom, he dug up the body of King Ping of Chu and whipped it to vent his anger. Xunzi was a great Confucian, and he would never do such a thing as whipping a dead person. However, if his elder brother had done something wrong, his younger brother would accept it on his behalf. It can be whipped into a dragon. I know that no matter how many whippings I receive, I cannot make the people of Lanling County rest in peace and repay this blood debt. But I will never allow the reputation of the late king to be disgraced. I can only disappoint Xunzi. ”

"I'm not disappointed. It's human nature to hide our loved ones from each other. What's there to be disappointed about?"

Xunzi pointed at Chen Ping who was lying on the ground giving up struggling.

"What you mean is that in a public trial, the punishment must be severe and severe. The purpose of imposing capital punishment is to let the people in Guizhou know the cost of doing so, so that they can take a warning, be fearful in their hearts, and develop a sense of justice. But now since it is impossible Why did your majesty torture him in a public trial? Is it to avenge your injustice? Has your majesty ever thought that you were right to let a reckless man torture Chen Ping? "

Ying Chengyu never expected that this was what Xunzi was struggling with. He smiled and clasped his fists.

"I once heard a saying, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a wicked person needs to be punished by a wicked person. To deal with such evil people, the most cruel methods should be used. My ideological realm is not as high as Xunzi's, and I think my behavior cannot be more correct. I even thought that this punishment was too light for him! I still can’t understand my hatred!”

In an instant, everyone immediately looked at the second emperor in a pleasing manner, and his gnashing of teeth was just like when they were angry.

The second emperor who stepped off the platform had completely changed his appearance. Instead of the emperor's aloofness, he had the emotions and desires of a mortal.

Yes, this thief deserves to be tortured like this!

If Xunzi hadn't died soon, Zhang Cang, Lu Jia, Han Fei and other disciples would have insisted on clapping their hands and cheering.

Xunzi didn't need to look back to know the mentality of the disciples behind him.

There is no forgiveness in Confucianism.

The teaching of Master Kong, who was able to lift city gates, is that it is not enough to share the same sky with an enemy who has a great hatred. You must sleep with a shield and a weapon every day, and kill him when you meet him!
"So, Your Majesty is doing this for his own desires, right?"

Ying Chengyu nodded casually. In fact, he thought he was doing justice for heaven and avenging the people of the two cities who died in Lanling County.

But there was no need to say this. He didn't want the old man to spend the last part of his life arguing and saying a few words without dying.

You can't be competitive, but you can't be too strong either.

If you don’t have it, you will be a salty fish, if you have too much, you will hurt yourself.

"These are the eyes that you can't close. Your Majesty hates Chen Ping's cruel methods, but he uses the same cruel methods for his own desires. You think it is inappropriate, and it is very wrong. I remember that in the novel written by Your Majesty , there is a book called "Chu Liuxiang". Your Majesty gave Chu Liuxiang a nice name for his practice of stealing money from the rich and giving it to the poor - robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Stealing is against the "Laws of Qin", if there really is such a thing in Qin Should your Majesty arrest Chu Liuxiang or not?"

Ying Chengyu said in confusion:
"I already discussed this issue with my husband when he was watching "Chu Liuxiang". Chu Liuxiang is a literary creation and cannot be reproduced in reality. Theft is theft, and the name of justice cannot be overturned because of the use of property. There is only one In this case, I will applaud Chu Liuxiang's case. The world is unfair. The rich use all means to squeeze the people to accumulate wealth, and the officials collude with them to favor one side. The head of Guizhou has nowhere to cry out and cannot get the most basic fairness. If the law is unfair, there will be no prestige. , there is no need to abide by it, we should unite to smash this shitty world and dare to ask the sun and moon to replace the sky."

Han Fei listened quietly without any expression. He had heard this kind of remarks many times when he was at Chang'an Jun's Mansion.

But Zhang Cang, Lu Jia, Mao Heng and others opened their eyes wide. The fact that the teacher was about to die could not cover up the violent mood swings at this time.

They had never seen such a ruler.

You are the emperor, you should stand on the position of the superior, how could you say such a thing?How come you are more anti-thief than anti-thief?

Xunzi's mind became even more dizzy. His time was running out, but there were more smiles on his face.

Only such an emperor, an emperor who stands on the side of the people, can realize the vision in his heart and make the prosperous age in his imagination truly come.

The young have something to rely on, and the old have something to support.

The people are not afraid of officials, and thieves cannot appear under the blue sky and white sun!

The second emperor was only a little short of the perfect emperor candidate in Xunzi's heart.

He wanted to make up for this last bit.

"Except for the difference in status, what is the difference between what your Majesty is doing now and Chu Liuxiang's robbing the rich to give to the poor? Cruel means should not appear no matter who is in the hands. Your Majesty once said something to me, when When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. No matter how much you hate sin in your heart, don't become the sin itself."

Xunzi smiled and turned to look at the river going east. "Your Majesty sees farther than we do. Wang Xu once said that this is the limitation of the times, and even he is not immune to it. The etiquette of running away and not chasing on the battlefield in the Spring and Autumn Period is a joke now. People today cannot understand the ancients' etiquette It's a stupid act. I hope your Majesty won't feel stupid about what you say now. If your dying words become a joke, you really can't rest in peace."

Ying Chengyu took two steps forward and stood quietly beside Xunzi.

His thoughts followed the water of the Wei River and returned to his previous life.

After 2000 years, should we fight evil with evil?So what does the law do?
If the law cannot punish crime, then the law loses its meaning.

But if the law can punish evil, then evil means should not be used to deal with evil.

The large-scale armed fighting between Jing Lan and Ma Tian, ​​combined with coordinated infantry and artillery operations, resulted in a total ban on firearms.If what Xunzi said is wrong, then we should sit back and watch the two villages fight to the death.

After 2000 years, Xunzi was right.

Ying Chengyu rubbed his eyes that were blinded by desire. When he put his hands down, he felt much clearer.

He raised his head and shouted softly to Jing Ke in the distance:
"Give him a good time."

Jing Ke responded and squatted down, the dagger dancing on his fingertips.

He looked at Chen Ping, who had a pale face and was breathing out more than he was taking in, and sighed with a little admiration.

"You didn't even say a word for mercy before you died. You are a man. For this reason, I want you to be sensible and ask."

The doubtful look in Chen Ping's eyes couldn't be hidden from him at all.

Chen Ping put his hands on the ground and struggled to get up, kneeling on all fours on the frozen soil, like a downtrodden dog.

"Why did King Qin kill me?"

"Because you massacred Lanling County twice."

"impossible!"

Chen Ping raised his head and shouted at the second emperor. When he saw that the second emperor's eyes were not moving here, he moved his eyes to Jing Ke's face in despair.

"How could King Qin care about those untouchables!"

Of all the powerful people he had met, no one cared about the lives of the people, whether they were the three Tian brothers, Zhang Liang of the Zhang family, Zhang Er and Chen Yu, or Wei Wang Bao.

How could King Qin, who was more noble than everyone else, kill a wise man who had already proven his ability for the sake of the lives of those untouchables?
"Your Majesty doesn't like to hear the word "untouchable". No one in the world should have the word "untouchable" in front of them, including merchants.

Jing Ke stated quietly.

According to Chen Ping, he, Jing Ke, was a pariah, and the businessman Lu Buwei was a pariah.

There are no noble people in Chang'an Jun's Mansion!
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! How can there be such a king in the world!"

Chen Ping shook his head wildly, with a crazy look on his swollen face. King Qin must have had a reason to kill him, and it wasn't because of the bullshit pariah!

With a burst of strength that came from nowhere, he threw himself on Jing Ke, grabbed Jing Ke's clothes, and asked loudly:
"You have great martial arts skills and can obviously capture me back to Xianyang. Why did you show up outside Daliang, announce your home, and say that the King of Qin invited me to Xianyang! Don't say you like this, you are the best assassin in the world! If you can't explain it, This proves that either on my way here or during the time I was in prison, something bad happened to me, and the King of Qin wanted to give up on me! Did the King of Wei say that I was disloyal? This was a counter-intuitive plan, and it was the King of Wei who wanted to kill me first. I am in front, and I am rebelling behind!"

Jing Ke, who allowed Chen Ping to go crazy, had a look of pity in his eyes. Do smart people like to speculate so much?

"You have a rich imagination, and I admire you very much. The reason why I showed up to see you and said that His Majesty invites you to come to Xianyang is because of His Majesty's orders. His Majesty said that you have a very high IQ. If you are taken by force, with your ability, If everything goes wrong along the way, something might happen. I may not necessarily like you. But as long as you are invited by His Majesty, there will be no surprises. With your character, you will happily throw yourself into the trap. Your Majesty said that this is called cleverness but you are clever. Wrong. I really don’t understand how you dare to come to see His Majesty after you murdered two people in Lanling City? For someone like you, His Majesty can only ask you to die if he invites you here."

Chen Ping opened his mouth wide, let go of his hand, and sat down on the ground, his face turned ashen.

Although what Jing Ke said was convoluted, he understood it. He underestimated King Qin.

First, he used a trick to get the First Emperor to massacre the city, and twice, he used the First Emperor as a marionette.

Get along with Wei Wangbao every day, and play with Wei Wangbao in the palm of his hand.

After two experiences, he unknowingly began to look down upon the new King of Qin, thinking that all kings were nothing more than this.

He raised his head and looked at the second emperor, Ying Chengyu, who had never spoken a word to him.

It was not King Qin's wisdom that made him lose his soul, but King Qin's heart. How could there be a king in the world who did not regard the people as inferior?
The wind roared, causing sand to enter Chen Ping's eyes.

He raised his hand and rubbed it hard!Knead hard!

When his vision became blurry, his father's face, which he thought he had long forgotten, appeared in his mind.

The father who had turned his back to the sky and turned his face to the loess, working hard to cultivate the land to feed himself, lost that piece of land.

Reporting to officials is useless. Power only helps the powerful.

In the end, he died under power for that piece of land, silently.

If a living person dies, it would be better for the village to kill a pig.

His nose twitched and his throat choked.

If the King of Qin had been in charge, would his father not have died, would his farmland have been returned, and his mother would not have remarried?

Isn't it true that he wouldn't kill pigs and divide the meat into pieces? In the end, he would kill all the people in the village as pigs and become Chen Ping, who always talks about being a pariah...

Tears flowed down at the dirt on his face, mixed with blood.

Jing Ke looked stunned.

Chen Ping, who refused to give in despite all kinds of torture, why did he cry after just a few words?
Is it because I don't want to die that I shed tears of regret?
"It's useless for you to cry. You'll die if you cry. Being a sensible person and going on the road is my last favor to you."

Chen Ping put down his hands, his eyes were red and swollen, looked at the second emperor, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"I regret that I was not born at this time and under His Majesty's rule."

He reached into his arms, took out the dagger that killed everyone in Prime Minister Daliang's house, and inserted it into his heart.

When he pulled it out and looked at it, he saw blood gushing from his chest, but no blood dripped from the dagger.

Chen Ping smiled.

"Jing Ke, is my dagger better than yours? I give it to you."

He held out the dagger, fell to the ground, and died.
