Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 122 Looking for Zhang Liang ([-])

"The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, the hateful things in life, the unforgettable things of a man, the ovary is even more unfortunate, and the death of a younger brother, the tragedy of life is the extreme, what is the intention of the ovary?" Zhou Chong's purpose of this trip is to persuade Zhang Liang asked him not to be an enemy of Qin, and to recognize Qin Shihuang's great cause of unifying the world.It is best for Zhang Liang to serve Qin Shihuang, if that is the case, with his talent, he will definitely grow into another Wei Liao.In the final analysis, he wanted to brainwash him, and take advantage of the opportunity of establishing friendship with Zhang Liang to make big remarks.

If you change someone, you must have a miserable face and remain silent for a long time, but Zhang Liang is not the same, his face is as usual, and he slowly speaks a philosophical sentence: "Pleasures, tragedies, national hatred, family hatred, and the perpetual ears of life, Zhang Liang is lucky enough to have everything." , why bother to be sad. If a man doesn’t experience things that others cannot experience, how can he be called a man, and how can he accomplish what others cannot?”

His state of mind is completely different from others, if others must be weeping and crying without making any claims, he is still calm and composed, which is incomparable to others.Perhaps, it is this unique mentality that is the reason for his success.

"Big man, ambition is the ear; happy things, tragic things, emotions, can Zifang really be ruthless because of ambition?" Zhou Chong tried again.

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Liang said: "People are not sages, how can they be ruthless? Zhang Liang is also a lover, not a heartless person, but now is not the time to talk about feelings, a man should put his ambition first!"

His words truly expressed the last resort in life, the difficult choice between emotions and ambitions. For example, King Qin, in Zhou Chong's view, is a person with particularly rich emotions, but in order to unify the great cause, he hides his emotions deeply, Without showing any trace, people who don't know him will definitely think that he is heartless and unfeeling.

"Since Zifang regards me as a friend, Zhou Chong dares to ask where is Zifang's aspirations? Qin, Zhao, Qi, Yan, Wei, or Chu?" Zhou Chong's words gradually approached the topic.

Zhang Liang looked at Zhou Chong and said with a smile, "Stop beating around the bush, you're trying to tell me what to say. Let me tell you the truth. The strongest person in the world today is Qin, and the wisest ruler of the Seven Kingdoms is King Qin. His talents are superior to those of his ancestors, and under his management, Qin will surely rule the world."

After all, he is a wise man. Even though he was in a hostile position, he was still very pertinent in his evaluation of King Qin and did not abuse him. Zhou Chong had no choice but to admire his broad-mindedness. Going west, it belongs to Qin. If Zifang has this heart, Zhou Chong is not talented, and he is willing to recommend Zifang before the king. With Zifang's talent, the king will definitely make great use of it. In a short time, Zifang Fang Da’s name is well known in the world, his achievements are recorded in history books, and later generations admire him, this is also a matter of a man, Zi Fang thinks twice.”

Zhang Liang didn't even think about it, he said: "Wei Liao, Han Fei, both of them are talented in the world, Master Zhou recommended him before the King of Qin, Master Zhou recommended the virtues of talents and abilities, Zhang Fang admired them, but I am from Han , will never contribute to Qin!"

As expected by Zhou Chong, Zhang Liang was still sticking to the concept of Korea as one country. He hadn’t realized the significance of Qin’s unification of the world. Also. To borrow the words of Zifang, a man should not be influenced by emotion when he acts, but should focus on ambition. Zifang can really do it when he asks himself to watch others gallop around the world and make great achievements, while he is empty of extraordinary talents. Watch from the wall?"

Generally, people with extraordinary talents have the mind to display what they have learned all over the body, that is, what we say now is unwilling to be lonely, and people like Zhang Liang are also like this, they are silent when they hear the words.

Zhou Chong continued: "Zifang knows that although the three kings and five emperors are called sages, their achievements are only as large as the Central Plains, while the emperor Qin wants to achieve is a hundred times larger than the three kings and five emperors. The territory is from Guangdong to the sea. From the coast to the west, to the south of the Lingnan, and to the desert in the north, this is a major event since the beginning of the world, it can be said that there is no such thing as a feat of the ancients, if Zifang does not make contributions at this time, when will it be?"

Zhang Liang took over the conversation and said, "Zhang Liang doesn't doubt King Qin's achievements, but Qin's laws are harsh and too violent, lacking the teaching of benevolence and virtue. It is easy to win the world and easy to lose it. Qin's world may not last long."

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Isn't it just a man's job to get rid of the tyranny of the Qin law? Since Zifang realizes, why not join hands with Zhou Chong to go westward, return to Xianyang, and achieve the foundation of eternal life."

Zhang Liang said disdainfully: "Zhang Liang, a man of righteousness, does not want to associate with Qin, who is a tiger and a wolf."

Zhou Chong immediately asked back, "Based on what you said, the people of Qin are all tigers and wolves, and you don't want to be with them, but I am a minister of Da Qin, don't you also have a good chat with me?"

"You are different." Zhang Liang didn't even think about it, and said: "Looking at what you do, even though there are deceitful things, they are forced by the situation, and you have to do it. Generally speaking, you are a kind and good person. That's why I, Zhang Liangcai, made an exception to meet you."

Zhou Chong was lucky to have such a comment from Zhang Liang, and said with a smile, "Thank you Zifang for your kind words. Zhou Chong would like to ask Zifang, does King Wen rule the world by virtue or force?"

Zhang Liang blurted out: "King Wen has two thirds of the world. He is still subject to Yin. He is a virtuous man. He rules the world by virtue, not by power."

Zhou Chong disagreed with him, saying: "Zifang's words are wrong! King Wen ruled the world by force, not by virtue. King Wen divided the world into two thirds, and he was still subject to Yin. He didn't want to oppose Shang. , but could not do it, had to do so, the minister was out of order. Zifang knew that Cheng Tang and Fa Jie had not tried it, and it was not until Xia Jie could not mobilize the army that he raised the banner of rebellion and finally succeeded. At that time, King Wen also followed the In this example, although King Zhou was innocent, he had not yet reached the level of rebellion. King Wen, a man of great wisdom, had to endure it. People in later generations only praised King Wen's virtue, but did not speak of King Wen's plan. It is a shame! Zifang is wise! Scholars, why are you like pedantic people who only talk about virtue and not strategy?"

Zhang Liang is a born strategist, he understands strategy better than ordinary people, he was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "Master Zhou is brilliant, Master Zhou's words gave Zhang Liang a sense of enlightenment."

Zhou Chong went on to say, "Excuse me, Zifang, in today's world, should it be determined by virtue, or by strength?" At that time, there were two opinions about the way to unify the world. This kind of thinking should be determined by force.Most of the Confucian scholars think that the world is determined by virtue, and if they demand to cultivate the virtue first, then the world will return to itself.

Zhang Liang is not a pedantic person, he said: "In the final analysis, morality is the will of the people. The world is not the same. Every country has its people's will, and the people of each country turn to their masters. It is just a nice word to say that cultivating virtue will rule the world , Taixu. To rule the world, it must be through force! Qin is the most powerful, and Qin Jun is the wisest, and the one who rules the world must be the State of Qin!"

Zhou Chong seized the opportunity and immediately asked: "Since Zifang agrees with King Qin's trip, why is he still sticking to Korea and not returning with the world?" This is Zhou Chong's intention. After spending so much effort, this is what I want to say, and I looked at Zhang Liang expectantly.
