Emperor Qin

King Qin's sleeping hall was divided into front and back by a screen. The screen had a map of mountains, rivers and rivers. The embroidery skills were very good, but the outlines of the mountains and rivers were very distorted, as if hand-painted by a child. clear.

Yan Jiang glanced over it, then sat aside, spread the bird on the table, carefully checked whether his beloved bird was injured, and took a long time to confirm that the bird was just asleep.

The king of Qin knelt and sat beside him, with flickering lights, his expression was elegant and quiet, he was not like a king, but rather like a gentleman, with a dignified air, which made people think that today was his 22nd birthday, and he encountered swordsmen. Adding body, mother's betrayal, such a great change but still calm and stable, this kind of heart is really amazing, no wonder in the future he will unify the six kingdoms and become an emperor through the ages.

Yan Jiang was about to thank him and leave, when he heard him speak slowly: "You care so much about this bird, why did you dare to break into the palace?"

"Your Majesty is my relative, so it is naturally different." Yan Jiang touched the big bird and smiled.

"Since that's the case, why do you still keep the tiger by your side?" King Qin held the white jade cup with his slender fingertips, slightly puzzled, "If you weren't here, wouldn't it enter the tiger's mouth at any time?"

"Huahua won't eat it," Yan Jiang sighed, "My tiger is extremely spiritual, and knows what to eat."

"Beasts are fierce. If you compare a tiger and a bird to a house without food, if it is hungry, how can it not eat?" King Qin's tone was calm, but he didn't think so.

"Everything can be eaten in one room, even if two people are locked up," Yan Jiang smiled slightly, "Humans are different from beasts in that they restrain their desires and can plan for the future. Besides, I also release tigers in the wild. , only occasionally."

"Is that so?" Qin Wangzheng seemed to be interested, and stretched out his hand to lift one of His Majesty's wings, as if he wanted to lift the bird to look at it.

"Don't hold it like this, it will hurt it." Yan Jiang hurriedly stopped his hand, seeing that King Qin was not angry, he felt a little good in his heart, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty is also an owl?"

"Wandering in the sky, looking down at the mountains and rivers, who wouldn't want to?" The King of Qin put down the jug lightly, made a gesture of invitation, and said calmly, "I was born in the State of Zhao when I was young, with a shabby house and a narrow courtyard, and the sky I saw was only a square inch. I envy Fei Niao the most, even if I return to Qin later, I will carry everything with me, so it is difficult to feel at ease."

How rare is this kind of fortuitous encounter, how can he, the emperor, bear the sound of a tiger sleeping next to his couch?

Even this cunning person dares to treat him like this, but if it's just an occasional gathering in the wild, it doesn't matter if there is no harm to the bird.

Yan Jiang nodded understandingly, and said in his heart that who let you be born in the country of Zhao. At that time, the Changping War killed almost all the young and strong in the country of Zhao. up.

He stared at the jug put down by King Qin, so, is this to chat with him in advance or just to test his talent?

Thinking of this, he chuckled, stretched out his hand and poured himself a glass, for chatting with him, it was easy to say: "Life is like this, if you really feel at ease and have no cares, you don't feel very at ease."

"What's the explanation?" King Qin took a sip, the wine stained his lips, and made his eyes darker and his brows clearer, which was very attractive.

"When I was young, I escaped and caused troubles. My parents were very strict with me. When I grew up, I was constantly nagging. All kinds of instructions disturbed me deeply. However, after the separation between the two lives, I realized that the world is so big that there is nowhere to return." Yan Jiang recalled the panic when he first came to this world, and felt a little helpless, "A life without anyone complaining and blaming is boring."

So after accepting the reality that he couldn't go back, he couldn't control himself anymore, and went all the way back to the motherland, because only this kind of stimulation between life and death can make him feel a little real.

After fighting all the way back, he felt that he had become semi-barbaric and urgently needed the influence of a civilized world.

Qin Wang slowly put down the jade cup: "This is, are you trying to persuade Gu to forgive her?"

Yan Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about Zhao Ji: "The national laws and family regulations are all crimes of capital punishment, what can be forgiven?"

Zhao Ji's matter itself is that she did not behave honestly. It is not a big deal to raise a face. But if she wants to take the wealth of her ex-husband's family and give it to her lover, and also wants to harm her ex-husband's son. The soul can be clearly distinguished, and the two sons born to King Yiqu are both grown up. They can still deceive King Yiqu into the palace and kill him for the sake of the country. That is the example of the Queen Mother of Qin. When Shan Yu came to attack the big man, he took this matter to the Empress Lu.

"This is a far cry from the way of a minister." King Qin exchanged a glance with him.

Yan Jiang didn't answer, but raised his glasses with both hands and smiled in respect - he is not a courtier of King Qin.

King Qin understood in seconds, and his mood became clear instantly. He smiled slightly and toasted him: "All schools of thought are great filial pieties. You can't say that your parents are wrong at all. Only the Legalists say that they are guilty of the same crime."

Yan Jiang knew that Zhao Ji's question was a bomb, so he decisively changed the subject: "Your Majesty admires the Legalists very much."

"Of course, I read the books "Lonely Anger" and "Five Beetles" before, and hated seeing each other. If I can see Han Fei, I will die without hatred." Qin Wangzheng's eyes flickered slightly, hinting to the other party that he is seeking talents. thirsty.

The fact is also the same. Since he succeeded to the throne, although he has been restrained by Lu Buwei, he still recruits dozens of talents such as Mengshi Wei Liao.

"I heard about Han Fei's power of magic, and there is no one in the world who can control him. The king must be able to see it." Mentioning Han Fei, Yan Jiang couldn't continue, thinking that what's the use of boasting about the sky now, distance can create Mei, when you face the base a few years later, you will find that it is too different from what you imagined, so you will be killed with a backhand, but it is so heartless. Sure enough, the emperor is not a thing.

The air suddenly became quiet, King Qin was silent for a few breaths, glanced at him, tapped on the table, and said calmly: "Do you still want cows and horses?"

This is the key point, Yan Jiang chuckled, thinking that the gunpowder has not been prepared yet, but he wants to get dry goods, so he became serious: "Ask what the king's ambition is?"

King Qin raised his eyes and said slowly: "The Three Jins are fertile, Qi and Lu are rich and prosperous, and Southern Chu is vast. Where should I make my aspirations?"

Zhao Weihan, Qi Yan, Chu, which one do you think I want?

There is an accurate answer to this, Yan Jiang smiled slightly: "There is a saying in my hometown that young children make the choice, and all the champions are wanted."

King Qin's lips curved slightly, waiting for him to continue.

"Now that the king is in Yongdu, Jiang asked, when King Zhaoxiang had Wei Ran Fanju in literature, and Bai Qi in martial arts, he destroyed Zhao's army of 40. Why can't Zhao be destroyed?" Yan Jiang asked first.

"Lord Xinling cut a talisman to save Zhao, and the first battle of Changping cost money, food and labor, and the fields were abandoned. In the second year of Changping, there was famine everywhere in the country, so he had to retreat, and Fan Ju was afraid of Bai's military exploits. Only then did Zhao have the vitality."

"That's the case on the surface," Yan Jiang organized his words, and then said slowly, "In fact, the seven countries have been in-laws for many years, and they are entangled by the dignitaries of various countries. If it's just a city and a place, they won't care. If there is a war to destroy the country, the forces of other countries in our court will naturally rise up to resist. For example, if the Queen Mother Huayang is in one day, Qin and Chu will be considered stable. If Lu Buwei has been in Qin for many years, Qin and Zhao will be as stable as a rock. Even though they are in a foreign country, their home country is their backing."

If there is an exception, it is the Queen Mother Xuan, who really married a dog and followed the dog.

The King of Qin nodded slightly, it was true, but his voice lowered a little, and said: "You mean to drive out the people of other countries in the country?".

"Of course not! Just don't listen to the strategy of the country's people when attacking a country," Yan Jiang continued: "And the temple is higher than the battlefield. Thinking about Qin's separation of Zhao's monarch and ministers, replacing Lian Po can be early. Victory, the method of alienation, is far better than the battle of armies. I have a plan. Now that your majesty has learned the method of making paper, you can send caravans to trade with the six countries. Use the talents of the Qin country to go to the six countries to hone and learn the customs and languages ​​of the family. Power, early preparations for governing the country."

King Qin remained silent, and the air became quiet again.

Yan Jiang frowned, thinking that although what I said is simple, it is very important research, what else do you want?

He had no choice but to speak again: "Although the officials of the Qin State are well governed, the internal affairs of the State of Qin depend entirely on the talents of the Six Kingdoms. Does Your Majesty know why?"

The king of Qin asked why.

Yan Jiang then analyzed to him why the exchange of rites and music cultures of the six countries promoted talents, but why Qin Qiang was not rich was because commodities could not be circulated—you all regard meat as a luxury, and you charge ten dollars for every piece of meat. double the tax!

So the famous people from all schools of thought are unwilling to come to teach because of the strictness of Qin State, no, the treatment of Qi State is really good!And only when you have enough to eat can you learn culture. Qin has been fighting for years, military exploits have established the country, and it doesn’t pay attention to culture at all. Why do the six countries say that they are tyrannical, because you can only knock tiles!Relevant commercial tax will reduce the number of musical instruments!There are official studies, but all those who come out are law officials!No other subjects are studied.

And why there are so many military generals in the Qin State-because the Qin Army's mechanism system is really easy to train generals.

So boy, now that you have paper, let’s develop your culture well, among other things, open a Xianyang Academy like Jixia Academy, so that you don’t need local people to govern the six countries in the future—at least Don't be afraid of being deceived.

After some exchanges, Yan Jiang's mouth was dry, and he had to talk about various examples of the Warring States Period.

But King Qin remained silent, as if what he had heard was irrelevant, and he didn't want to pay cattle and horses at all.

Yan Jiang had some headaches, so he mentioned that he saw the composting technique "abroad" to increase the yield per mu with manure. When the yield per mu increases, there will be commodity circulation, circulation will make society happier, and happiness will promote Social development, such as industry and commerce, increases the country's income, and the increase in income can build water conservancy roads, so that the yield per mu can increase, and so on, and everyone can have enough food and clothing.

King Qin remained unmoved, neither objecting nor appreciating.

Yan Jiang became displeased, thinking that I have to eat you, a hairy pig, let me dig a hole for you: "If your majesty is not interested in a rich country and a strong army, then listen to the longevity technique I know."

The King of Qin smiled slightly: "It's almost dawn, and I'm tired, so I'll listen to the art of longevity tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, he was not fooled... Yan Jiang also smiled and got up and said: "Your Majesty must remember the matter of cattle and horses."

"It's just a small matter," Qin Wang stood up slowly, "Mr. is indeed a great talent. Before I can figure out one plan, I have another plan, and I have to think about it again and again. I like this birthday gift very much."

So you were lying to me by not talking before... Yan Jiang smiled perfectly without any cracks: "In that case, Jiang resigns."

you wait for me.

The King of Qin nodded and saw him retreating, then sat on the couch and held the ear of wheat - this kind of insight has never been mentioned by him before other monarchs.

Thinking of this, he lay down happily.

To him, I am different.
