Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 102 Assassination

"Brother Zhou is really a great talent, the city of South Korea was cut with all his heart." Mao Jiao was very impressed.

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Brother Mao is overwhelmed. This is all sent to the door by South Korea himself. This is called having to take it."

Chunyu Jue pursed her small mouth, looking very beautiful, and said disdainfully: "The Koreans really have no ambition. Before the King of Qin opened his mouth, they sent them to the door by themselves. If Korea is not destroyed, there is no reason for it."

Mao Jiao agreed with her words very much, and said: "Yes, in this way, one city will be cut today, and one land will be cut tomorrow. The land will be exhausted, but King Qin's desire will be endless, and there will be a time when the land will be exhausted and the country will perish. It's a pity!"

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "You are not right! According to what you say, one city and one land will be ceded to the Qin State, and I don't know how long it will take to destroy a South Korea. Maybe we will be unable to walk. South Korea is not destroyed yet."

Although South Korea's cession of territory is a good thing, it can happen only once in how many years.

Mao Jiao nodded and said, "That's the reason, but this matter is too incomprehensible. Although I'm not Korean, I still feel sorry for them."

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "What is the use of regret? The world, the world is ruled by people, and only the virtuous live in it. Zhou Tianzi is gone, the world has no master, and all the heroes are chasing him. All the heroes show their abilities. Who will win the world?" , It depends on who is more capable."

Chunyu Jue immediately retorted: "Brother Zhou, I don't like to hear these words. Qin has everything. There is a wise monarch, talented officials, an army capable of conscripting and fighting, complete laws, and integrity. High-ranking officials, fast-handling government, common people enjoy fighting, and devote themselves to agriculture and mulberry. These are incomparable to the six countries in Shandong. The only thing is missing..." Zhou Chong helped her speak out, saying: "You mean you are immoral! No Shang Tang, the holiness of King Wen of Zhou is hard to convince the world, right?"

He hesitated for a moment with his small mouth open, before Chunyu Jue said, "Yes! Brother Zhou also thinks so?"

Mao Jiao agreed very much: "In today's trend, the unification of the world is the general trend. The one who can order the world must be the Qin State, and the one who can unify the universe must be the King of Qin. However, the Qin State lacks the way of benevolence and morality. , cannot be determined by virtue, but only by force.”

This kind of argument has been circulating for more than 2000 years. Confucianism called Qin State immoral and Qin Shihuang a tyrant, so Qin State was destroyed early. position, what is virtue and what is strength?"

This is a very basic question. Mao Jiao and Chun Yujue never thought that Zhou Chong would ask such a basic question. Mao Jiao asked, "Why does Brother Zhou ask this question?"

Zhou Chong didn't answer the question, but said, "Answer me, what is virtue and what is strength?"

Chunyu Jue thought for a while, and said: "Virtue is the teaching of benevolence, the transformation of sages. King Wen was born with holiness, which transforms all things. Auspiciousness is auspicious, and the phoenix sings in Qishan, and auspiciousness descends from the sky. Zhou wins one-third of the world. Second, King Wen is still a subject of Shang, and Chunyu Jue has read the history so far, and he is amazed, how many people can have the holiness of King Wen throughout the ages?"

These words were very reasonable, and they were also the most popular views at that time. Mao Jiao was very impressed and said, "Excellent, Si Yan!"

But Zhou Chong laughed and shook his head, saying: "Miss Chunyu, it's a mistake!"

His performance was too unexpected, the two stared at Zhou Chong, Mao Jiao was very curious and said: "Brother Zhou, can you please explain the whole story?" Chun Yujue smiled lightly, and two beautiful dimples appeared on his pretty face , said: "Chunyu Jue has very little knowledge, so please ask Brother Zhou for advice. Brother Zhou is talented and must have great opinions. May I listen?"

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Look at what you two said. I don't have any good opinions. I just have a little opinion. You all know that Shang Tang defeated Xia Chuan and used Yi Yin's plan to raise the anti-flag for the first time. Chu’s army arrived soon, and Shang Tang judged that the time was not ripe, so he submitted a petition. The second time when the rebel flag was raised, Xia Ju could no longer mobilize the army. Shang Tang thought that the time was ripe, and Chu Chu succeeded The Shang Dynasty was established.

"King Wen's intention is the same. He said that there are two thirds of the world, and he still regards King Zhou as the main one. It is not because the time is not ripe. Besides, there are two thirds of the world, but it is Confucianism. Isn’t King Wen the king of Guanzhong? The place he owns is only Yongzhou. Xia Yu casts nine tripods. King Wen only owns one tripod, one-ninth of it. How can there be two thirds of the world?”

Judging from the point of view at the time, these words are too rebellious, but the reality is the same. Chunyu Jue has read Confucian books for a long time, and believes in Confucian words. When Zhou Chong said this, he felt fresh and said: "Yes. Ah, brother Zhou is right. But..."

Zhou Chong interrupted her, and said: "You mean to say that King Wu Mengjin met the princes, and eight hundred people came unexpectedly, what a holy virtue, right?" .”

"It's a mistake!" Zhou Chong directly denied her words, saying: "The eight hundred princes came unexpectedly, what does this mean? It shows that King Zhou acted perversely, which made the sky angry and the people complained. King Wu wanted to meet the princes, and the eight hundred princes came. , King Wu has been expected by all, and the time is ripe to attack merchants. In the battle of Muye, the Taigong defeated King Zhou's 80 army with [-] warriors, and the world was determined in one battle.

"The current situation is almost the same as this. Qin is the strongest, and the king was the king of the previous generation. The people of the world went west and returned to Qin. Isn't this a sign of auspiciousness in the world? Heaven will win people, and people will also win Heavens, the return of the people of the world to Qin is more auspicious than Fengming Qishan, right?"

Fengming Qishan is not enough to prove it, maybe a rare bird called a few times in Qishan, and people with ulterior motives sang praises: Fengming Qishan, God's will returned to Zhou!People say what others say, and it has been passed down like this, misrepresented for thousands of years.

In the amazement of the two, Zhou Chong came to a conclusion that they couldn't even imagine: "The phoenix is ​​an auspicious bird, but no one has seen it. It has only been heard of singing in Qishan for thousands of years. Before King Wen, Shang Tang also has holy virtues. Xia Yu’s contribution to water control is in China, and it will continue for thousands of years. Why does the phoenix sing only in Qishan, but not next to Xia Yu or Shang Tang? Maybe there is no phoenix at all, it’s just a phoenix. It might be a weird and special bird, but people misrepresent it as auspicious. You know, the ancients would even be surprised by a white-headed pig, so what is it to be surprised by a strange bird?"

This is a statement that no one has said for thousands of years. Mao and Jiao have never heard it, they have never heard it, their eyes are wide open, and they don't know what to say. They want to refute, but every sentence makes sense, and they can't say anything. Words, only in a daze.

"Well said! I haven't listened to Mr. Zhou's high-level speeches for many days, and it's refreshing to listen to Mr. Zhou's high-level opinions today!" A person praised loudly.

Zhou Chong found the voice very familiar and asked, "Who?"

"Me!" A tall figure appeared in the room like a ghost, it was none other than Si Kongying.

Zhou Chong's heart beat wildly, and he asked, "Sikongying, what are you doing here?"

With a flash of sword light, the Louying sword was already pointed at Zhou Chong, and Sikongying said indifferently: "Do what you didn't finish last time, and kill you!"
