[Qin] Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate

It was already night, and Lu Buwei was slightly surprised when Li Si asked to see him when his servants came to report.

"I don't know why Mr. came to Lu Mansion so late, why?"

Lu Buwei received Li Si in the lobby.

Li Si didn't talk nonsense, and after a simple exchange of pleasantries, he got to the point.

"Si heard that Marquis Wenxin offered a reward of a thousand gold in Xianyang Ximen to change the word "Lushi Chunqiu", and he came here today for this purpose."

Lu Buwei's heart suddenly sank.

He knew what Li Si was talking about today.

Unexpectedly, King Qin even brought his followers under his command.It is indeed powerful.

Lu Buwei pretended to be listening.

Li Si naturally knew how to read words and expressions, and he also noticed the sudden change in Lu Buwei's face.However, today he came with a mission, and he was already prepared to be unpleasant.

"Si feels that what Wen Xinhou did this time is not appropriate." Li Si stood up, bowed, and then continued, "Today's Great Qin advocates the rule of law, and your "Lu Shi Chunqiu" is somewhat different from commercial law." It’s not appropriate to go in and out with such a big publicity. I hope Wen Xinhou will withdraw "Lu Shi Chunqiu" as soon as possible."

Having said this, Lu Buwei simply spoke bluntly.

"I am very much looking forward to "Lu Shi Chun Qiu". I think it is very useful for Da Qin today. It is also a big wish of mine to hang it up and let all the students in the world discuss it together. Withdraw."

"That's the end of the story, go to Wenxinhou and think twice."

All that should be said has been said, and Li Si bids his farewell.

Lu Buwei didn't stay any longer, and asked Li Si to be sent out of the house.

So far, the two former guests of honor have completely severed their relationship.

Ying Zheng received Li Si's reply, and he was not surprised by Lu Buwei's disobedience.

"Why don't I have someone quietly remove those things. It's an easy job." Seeing that Ying Zheng has been busy with this matter for the past few days, the little fish demon also helped out.

When Ying Zheng heard his method, he immediately laughed.

"You, how can this matter be so simple? If you can quietly withdraw this book, there will be many people who can do this, and I can't bother you, Xiaoyu. It's okay, everything is still under my control now It is enough for the little fish to play with peace of mind."

Is this despising my stupidity?

The little fish demon pouted: "Obviously I was the one who wanted to help you achieve great success, but now it seems like I haven't done anything?"

Ying Zheng grabbed the little fish monster and let him sit in his arms: "How could it be? You have done too much, little fish. The manpower in Heyu Village depends on you, and I am so strong Besides, Xiaoyu, you don’t need to do other things, as long as you stay by my side, I will feel happy. After I feel happy, everything will get twice the result with half the effort. Right?”

Seems to be the reason?

The little fish demon's fish brain vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Seeing this, Yingzheng fired up again: "Besides, your good luck, Xiaoyu, is also giving me bonuses. The most important thing is that Xiaoyu's help to me works from heart to body. what~"

"Oh, I think I need Xiaoyu's help again. Will Xiaoyu help your brother Ah Zheng?"

Being whispered by Ying Zheng's ear, the little fish demon hadn't quite realized what kind of help it was, when he suddenly felt a fiery bulge under his body, and he understood it all at once.

flushed.

Ying Zheng didn't wait for the little fish demon to answer, he smiled lightly and hugged him, it was another good night's dream...

……

After Li Si persuaded Lu Buwei to take back "Lu's Spring and Autumn", Ying Zheng successively asked Meng Tian, ​​Meng Cheng, Wang Wan, and a merchant who had a good friend with Lu Buwei to persuade him, but none of them changed Lu Buwei's decision.

During this period, the "Lushi Chunqiu" hanging in the west gate of Xianyang also caused many things.

Since the reward of one thousand gold came out, students from all over the world came to Xianyang one after another.

When there are too many people, things get chaotic.

At first, it was the captain in charge of the west gate who reported that people and vehicles outside the west gate had been blocked for days, many illegal refugees took the opportunity to make trouble, there were dozens of robberies and thefts, crowded vehicles and horses, people and vehicles fighting for the road, and hundreds of stampede incidents.

After that, he made another request: in order to stabilize the livelihood of the Chinese people, Wang Wenxinhou withdrew the reward for Ximen's "Lushi Chunqiu".

This incident made Lu Buwei more stubborn.

He summoned his disciples, talked about the matter, and at the same time ordered: "No matter what happens to Ximen, "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" must not be withdrawn!"

Originally, the compilation of "Lushi Chunqiu" was also contributed by these disciples. They were still waiting for this book to spread out and earn some fame for themselves. Now there is such a thing as forced to withdraw it. It doesn't need to be said by Lu Buwei , They are also determined not to let people achieve what they want.

After the meeting adjourned, the disciples gathered their staff and hurried to the west gate.

Soon, they spontaneously guarded the big book at the Simon.

After that, Lu Buwei thought that things would be stable soon, but his servants came to report, and a statue of Shang Jun was erected downstairs in the big book city where they posted "Lu Shi Chunqiu".

The statue of Lord Shang was transported by Meng Tian with a large group of people to the bottom of the tower on a cart pulled by four oxen.

When Meng Tian arrived at the place, he didn't look at the book guards, and stood on a high place and declared loudly: "Students of the country, I am Meng Tian. Today, under the special permission of the government, I am enacting the stone carving of the sage Shangjun, so as to manifest the merits of reforming the law forever!"

When the statue covered with red silk appeared in front of the crowd, cheers erupted from the crowd: "Long live Shang Jun!"

Immediately, the diners waiting beside the big book "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, they remembered to report a letter to Lu Buwei.

However, Lu Buwei has nothing to do about it. Naturally, it is impossible for him to let people evacuate the statue and know who made it stand there.

However, it is also impossible to use this method to get him to withdraw "Lu Shi Chun Qiu".

With Lu Buwei's order, the disciples waiting for the big book can only pretend that they don't know anything, regardless of the statue of Shang Jun over there, and don't let people come to disturb their reward for changing the word.

Things were deadlocked.

However, Lu Buwei did not expect that King Qin would have another trick.

Soon, someone came to report that the outside of the big book was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and some people were building the courtyard wall.

Lu Buwei rushed over to have a look, sure enough.

The students he specially attracted have been driven away by the officers and soldiers to a place some distance away from the big book, and around the big book, a circle of courtyard walls is being erected.

Lu Buwei had to find Meng Tian, ​​the supervisor of the courtyard wall.

"What are you doing?"

"Reporting to Wen Xinhou, the statue of Lord Shang, the sage of Fa, stands here. Naturally, we want to build a courtyard for him to take good care of him, so the government decided to build a garden of the sage of Fa."

The disciples who followed Wen Xinhou were dissatisfied: "It's okay for you to legislate the Holy Garden, but building a wall to hinder pedestrians is to hinder the people."

Meng Tian was not afraid of what he said, but instead retorted: "Sages and sages all have their ancestral halls, and the majestic Fashengyuan, shouldn't there be a wall instead?"

Wen Xinhou can't come to force, he can only let this wall be built.

Afterwards, more than a hundred guards were sent to guard the Fasheng Garden under the wall. Visitors and students can only visit outside the garden and are not allowed to enter the wall.As a result, the public students were kept far away from the wall, and it was impossible to read and revise books under the city wall.On the Fashengyuan side, neither forcibly withdrew the big book "Lushi Chunqiu", nor did they drive away these bookkeepers.

After three or five days like this, the students who couldn't see the big book at all gradually lost their interest in watching, and the crowd at Ximen gradually disappeared.It was extremely embarrassing to leave only the diners guarding the white "Lu Shi Chunqiu" in a deserted manner.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei still did not change his determination to promote "Lu Shi Chun Qiu". Yingzheng finally mobilized the staff of Heyu Village who had been deployed everywhere.

Among them, there are many people in the literary circles who have already made a name for themselves. Under their leadership, gradually, starting from Xianyang, there have been two ways of governing the country in various parts of Qin State: "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and Shang Jun's law. controversy.

"Shang Jun's law has been tested for more than a hundred years, and it has become a classic for our great Qin to strengthen the country and enrich the people. We must not deviate from it at will!"

"Shangjun's law is beyond reproach. But the fundamental point of Shangjun's governance is to change the law in accordance with the times, not to stick to the established law! Now that the Great Qin Dynasty is strong and prosperous, it is time to practice more virtuous and lenient governance."

"What you said mean that Qin Fa is already unwell?"

"Everything is done according to the law, there is a square and a circle. If the system is different and mixed with human feelings, how can the decision be convinced?"

"The Lord Shang's method is more appropriate."

"..."

Gradually, fewer and fewer people agreed with the views of "Lu Shi Chun Qiu".After all, Shang Yang's law has been handed down in Daqin for a long time, and it is also this law that made Qin country stronger and stronger day by day, and the hearts of the people of Daqin have been in Fadu for a long time.

However, in the court, there are still some people who strongly agree with "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".

In this series of confrontations with Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng already understood that Lu Buwei had different political views with him. If he was allowed to continue to participate in the affairs of the court, with the power of the other party, he wanted to do many things. Many policies to be implemented cannot go smoothly.

Thinking of this, he finally decided to hold a great meeting.

On weekdays, the court meetings where the King of Qin handles government affairs are considered small court meetings.

Only those who have reached a certain level, or those who are related to today's government affairs, will participate in the Xiaochaohui.

As for the Great Court Meeting, county guards, county magistrates, frontier army generals, etc., all need to rush to Xianyang King City to participate.

This is the first grand court meeting after King Qin came to power.

All those who received the notice attached great importance to this court meeting and made preparations early.

Seeing that the court meeting is coming, all the inns, large and small, in Xianyang are packed with people.

Finally, the Grand Court will be held in the eyes of everyone.
