Chapter 132 Chapter 9 Basic Conflict

In front of Xiang Shaolong and Li Si, Xiao Pan lost Lu Buwei's temper and said angrily, "I want to read his "Lu Shi Chunqiu"? He is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, what kind of material is he, Li Tingwei, tell me." , What is the truth behind his saying that he governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and that "the world is not a world governed by one person, but the world is governed by all the people in the world"? Why don't you abolish me too, and let him be in charge." Xiang Shaolong and Li Si looked at each other, they didn't expect this big boy to be so domineering when he got angry.

After the banquet, before Xiang Shaolong stepped out of the palace gate, he summoned Xiao Pan to his study to talk. These days, Zhu Ji has been inseparable from Lao Ai, the newly promoted servant, and has no time to take care of her growing prince. However, Xiao Pan always loves this fake mother, he only scolds Lu Buwei, and has no bad words towards Zhu Ji. Li Si was so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Chu Jun, calm down!" Xiao Pan shouted: "Quickly stand up and give me an opinion." Li Si stood up and said respectfully: "The fourth generation of Qin Dynasty prospered, their troops were strong in the sea, and they ruled the princes with power. It is not benevolence and righteousness. The only way to win is to conquer the world with force, rule the country with the law, and the people take officials as teachers. There is no other way. other way."

Xiao Pan calmed down and said, "What about the way of being a king?" Li Si replied in a ruthless way: "According to my ministers who have traveled around the world for many years, studying the politics of various countries, and observing their rise and fall, the most important thing is to carry out the king's orders. The power must be concentrated in the hands of the monarch, and then the monarch will rule the country by law. .As Lu Xiang said, "For a country under heaven, there is nothing better than virtue and righteousness. With virtue and righteousness, the people will move without rewards, and evil will be stopped without punishment." It is just repeating the unrealistic set of Confucius , It sounds good to say, but it doesn’t work at all in practice.”

For Xiang Shaolong, who came from a society ruled by law in the 21st century, Li Si's argument was correct, and what he said was the eternal truth about human nature.The only problem is that the monarchy is above the law, but the reality is that without two thousand years of progress, no one can change this situation. After Xiaopan came to Qin Dynasty, the education he received was Shang Yang's supremacy of monarchy and military power. In addition, he grew up in Zhao Gong since he was a child, and he understood the importance of power above everything else, which naturally ran counter to Lu Buwei's expectations of him.

These days, he has been in contact with Xiaopan a lot, and he has become more and more aware that this kid has begun to establish his own set of ideas, especially when there are outsiders around, and his gestures and gestures reveal the courage and power of the future Qin Shihuang. Xiao Pan was obviously very satisfied with Li Si's answer, nodded and said: "From today on, Li Qing's family will be my chief historian, in charge of all paperwork in the inner court, and attend the court every day." Li Si was overjoyed and thanked En. Xiang Shaolong stared blankly, and only then did he agree with Xiao Pan's feeling that he had become the ruler of the Qin Dynasty.

Regarding the appointment of personnel in the palace, only Zhu Ji is qualified to speak at the moment, but of course she will not be at odds with her son because of a mere chief historian, not to mention that this precious son has just promoted her secret lover. Xiao Pan waved his hand and said, "I still have something to discuss with Mr. Xiang." Li Si Zhiqu resigned. Xiao Pan sat down, sighed and said: "You have also seen that when the queen mother and that traitor are united, there is no room for me, the little crown prince, to speak." Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said: "No! Chu Jun performed very well today, which is impressive. Now Chu Jun just needs a little patience!"

Xiao Pan said: "Lv Buwei now takes all the credit for himself. He wants to fight for power and prestige. In the end, he just wants to be on the stage by himself!" After a pause, he said indignantly: "The so-called monarch in Lu's Spring and Autumn Period wants to 'punish violence without selfishness, so as to be a sage in the world'. That sage refers to himself. From the twelve counties in Lantian, there are 100,000 households today, and the monarch responds to saving food and clothing to set a model for the world." Xiang Shaolong knew that as Xiao Pan got older, his dissatisfaction with Lu Buwei increased day by day, once Xiao Pan came to power, there would be no place for Lu Buwei to stand.

Xiao Pan said: "Have you read the writings of Li Si's fellow student Han Fei? He said, 'Since Shang Yang's reform, the country has been rich and its soldiers are strong, but there is no skill to know traitors, and it is only because of its wealth and strength that it also supports its officials'." It is said that "Rang Hou Yue Han, Wei and the East attacked Qi, and the land where Qin did not benefit in size for five years was the seal of the city's Taoyi. Yinghou attacked Han for eight years and became the seal of his Runan. Since then, everyone has used Qin Those who are all should, and so on. If you win, the ministers will respect you, and if you benefit from the land, you will be entrusted privately. The master has no skills and knows the traitor'. With such insight, I really wish I could meet this person."

Of course, Xiang Shaolong had never read Han Fei's works. He did not expect his writing to be so sharp and his thoughts so sharp. He asked in surprise, "Did Li Si introduce the prince to read it?" Xiao Pan shook his head and said, "Master Qin taught me to read." Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that this was the reason, although Li Si was his good friend, but he knew that Li Si was very utilitarian, and he was not a man with a big heart and a big heart. After being silent for a while, Xiang Shaolong said: "We have aroused Lao Ai's ambition, as long as there is a chance to give him more sweetness, we will guarantee that he will betray Lu Buwei and establish his own family. At that time, as long as the Queen Mother stands by him If Fang confronts Lu Buwei, we will have an opportunity."

Xiao Pan pondered, "What else can we do? I really don't want to approve his construction of the canal. In this way, most of our country's military and civilian resources will fall into his hands." Xiang Shaolong said indifferently: "These schemes should all be planned for him by a man named Mo Ao. As long as this man is removed, it will be much easier for Lu Buwei and others to deal with if they lose half of their heads." Xiao Pan said happily, "Master is finally willing to make a move?" Senhan's murderous intent flashed in Xiang Shaolong's eyes, and he said coldly: "Since Lu Buwei's trick comes from this person, then he is my other big enemy. How can Princess Qian and the others not avenge their blood feud? I guarantee that he will not survive those three days." It’s time for field hunting in the western suburbs of the sky.”

◇◇◇◇◇◇ Xiang Shaolong was about to leave the Tai's womb, when a woman's sweet voice came from behind: "Mr. Xiang!" Xiang Shaolong's heart trembled, he turned his head, and the timid widow appeared in his eyes. She came up to meet her, and said with a solemn expression: "Qin Qing is rude, it should be said that Mr. Xiang is the leader of the cavalry." Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "Master Qin's words are sarcasm, are you still blaming me for saying the wrong thing that night?" Qin Qing didn't expect him to be so frank and direct, he was slightly stunned, that kind of surprised expression was so touching, it was so touching, and seeing Xiang Shaolong, who is used to stunning beauty, also felt a sense of satisfaction from eating the beautiful beauty. But her attitude did not change at all, and she said coldly: "How dare you? What Mrs. Xiang said must not be wrong. Men are like that. They always think that what they say is an imperial decree, and everyone in the world should respect it." agree." Xiang Shaolong didn't expect her to be so eloquent when she was angry, but since she was willing to come and talk to him, there should still be a chance to maintain a delicate relationship with her. He raised his hand in surrender and said, "The villain is willing to bow down, so he raised the white flag. I hope Mrs. Qin will accept me, an insignificant pawn who never dares to be number one in everything." In the first few moments, Qin Qing still managed to maintain a cold expression, but after a while, she finally couldn't help smiling like sunshine emerging from behind the dark clouds, bowed her head and said angrily: "I really can't do anything about you!" .” Xiang Shaolong yelled "Oh my god!"He secretly thought that if she continued to face him with this seemingly affectionate and ruthless attitude, maybe he would really be lost in the sea of ​​love that he didn't want to get involved in again. Fortunately, Qin Qingxuan returned to her trademark coldness, and sighed softly: "The hardest thing for me to forgive you is that you refused to expose Lu Buwei's conspiracy to the Queen Mother. But it's no wonder that everyone is flattering Lu Buwei now. What's so strange about having one more of you?" Xiang Shaolong felt wronged, and he was also a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis.Do you tell her not to do futile things because she knows that "history that has already happened" cannot be changed? When she was speechless, Qin Qing said disdainfully: "I'm really not worth it for Yan Ran, the husband I married turns out to be just a follower of power." Turn around and go. Xiang Shaolong shouted angrily at her swan-like back: "Stand!" The guards guarding the entrance of the palace all heard the reputation, but seeing one was the most respected Taifu of the prince, the chief beauty of Xianyang, and the other was the commander of the capital who was ordered at that time, so they could only pretend to be deaf and blind. not see. Qin Qing leisurely stopped, and said with a sneer: "Are you going to take me down? Now that you are powerful and powerful, and you have a few big backers behind you, naturally you don't need to suffer." Xiang Shaolong was so angry that his lungs almost exploded, he grabbed her behind and said angrily: "You!" Qin Qing said indifferently: "Do you want to quarrel the whole palace to watch the excitement?" Xiang Shaolong's unexplainable anger had passed, and he said discouragedly: "Forget it! Don't look at me like that, but it's up to you! As long as I know what I'm doing." Qin Qing said softly: "Aren't you Lu Buwei's running dog?" Xiang Shaolong felt that if this beauty misunderstood him as a despicable person, it would be one of the most unbearable things in this world, so he blurted out: "I can't wait for him... Hey! It's nothing." Qin Qing turned back like a whirlwind, and said happily: "Finally, your true words have come out, but why does Mr. Xiang just stand by and watch, knowing that Lu Buwei is using Lai Ai to confuse the Queen Mother?" It was only then that Xiang Shaolong realized that her attitude just now was all a means to force him to show his heart, so he couldn't help being stunned on the spot, staring in disbelief at her peerless beauty that only Ji Yanran could rival. Surprisingly, Qin Qing was not displeased by his staring ceremony as before, showing her white and neat teeth, and said with a slight smile: "Please forgive Qin Qing for using scheming. But you, a man who treats women like nothing, You refuse to tell others everything, for example, what did you say to the king before he died that day?" Xiang Shaolong put his mind to one side, lowered his voice, leaned close to her flawless and perfect cheeks, looked at her small crystal-like ear beads and delicate pendants, and said in a hoarse voice: "I ask Your Majesty to leave in peace, One day, I will teach Lu Buwei to die without a place to bury him and avenge him." Qin Qing burst into tears, and in the blurred shadow of tears, Xiang Shaolong's majestic back quickly faded away. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ In order to go to the prime minister's mansion to have a banquet at night, Xiang Shaolong left the palace and hurried back home to take a shower and change clothes. Sister Tian's waited on her carefully. From the back garden, Ji Yanran's flute is faintly heard. The melody is sad and melancholy. The low part is like a dragon diving into the deep sea. It is sad and gloomy. Xiang Shaolong felt strange, and hurried to the back garden to meet his beloved wife. After Ji Yanran finished playing, she stood in a small pavilion in the garden, holding a jade flute in her hand, thoughtful. Xiang Shaolong came behind her, put his arms around her, hugged her into his arms, kissed her intoxicatingly fragrant pink face and said, "Why is Yanran's Xiaoyin full of emotion?" Ji Yanran said quietly: "Today is the death day of the death of the motherland. Thinking of the vicissitudes of life, people and affairs are completely different, Yanran is difficult to dispose of. The state is in conflict with the state, and there is conflict with others. When will the ideal world of Datong appear?" Xiang Shaolong found her fragrant lips, kissed her deeply, and sighed: "This situation will not change after thousands of years. Everyone is the center of interests. From this, no matter the group, faction, Each country has its own interests. As long as there is such a difference in the day, the interests will never be uneven, and it is unavoidable for you to compete with each other. For example, there is only one Ji talented woman. If Xiang Shaolong gets it, no one else will have a share. , Do you think others want to take advantage of it?" Ji Yanran couldn't help laughing at him, she stretched out her hand to caress his cheek lovingly, shook her head and smiled wryly. Xiang Shaolong said: "Did you take a nap at noon today? The first time I saw you in Daliang, the talented girl had just woken up, and the fragrance was overflowing." Ji Yanran finally teased Ai Lang with a "puchi" coquettish smile, and said: "What's the matter? Husband is in a good mood today?" This time it was Xiang Shaolong's turn to smile wryly: "Needless to mention, I was dizzy and danced around by your best friend Qin Qing, what joy can there be?" Ji Yanran was surprised: "How could it be? You are one of the few men that such an arrogant person likes to look up to, and with the friendship between me and her, she should save some face for you!" Xiang Shaolong hugged her to sit by the pavilion, and told the story.Ji Yanran laughed coquettishly, the flowers trembled wildly, even though he was familiar with that charming and charming demeanor, Xiang Shaolong was still fascinated and couldn't help becoming unruly. This talented woman took his wicked hand and said angrily: "In a blink of an eye, you are going to abandon others and go to the Prime Minister's mansion for a banquet, are you still going to mess around?" Xiang Shaolong thought about it, stopped his activities on her delicate body, and said, "How did Qin Qing become a widow? Do you know her origin and background?" Ji Yanran sighed softly: "Sister Qing is a member of the royal family. Since she was a child, she was famous for her talents and studies in the court. When she was sixteen years old, she obeyed her parents' orders and married a young and promising general. I hate it on the wedding night. Her husband-in-law received a temporary military order and rushed to the battlefield, and has never returned since then." Xiang Shaolong sighed: "She is so pitiful!" Ji Yanran said: "I don't think she is pitiful. Elder sister Qing understands the joys of life very well, and loves potted plants the most. I once watched her spend the whole day pruning a pot of peony. Yan Ran asked herself that she couldn't do it, unless it was facing Xiang Shaolong!" Xiang Shaolong sighed: "I just heard the sweetest flattery, but you are right, Qin Qing is indeed a rare lady with a heart like a bright moon and elegant feelings." Ji Yanran smiled and said: "But her calm state of mind was disturbed by you, a villain. Originally, I heard that she never talked about men, but she couldn't help asking about you in front of me several times. When I told her, her eyes were watering. Liang, you know that I, Ji Yanran, did not pick on the wrong husband." Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "You leaked her secrets to me like this. Does that mean it's encouraging?" Ji Yanran said solemnly: "On the contrary, Sister Qing has a special status, she has the supreme status among women in the Qin country, and she is the embodiment of chastity. Unless you take her away, if people find out that you have broken her chastity, it will hurt her." It caused a lot of unnecessary troubles, which is not good for you or her." Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment, and said dejectedly: "Don't worry! Ever since Princess Qian and Chunying suffered misfortune, I have already been in trouble. Except for my lovely wife and maidservant, I don't want to beg him anymore. " Ji Yanran's delicate body trembled slightly, and she read: "Once the sea was too difficult for water, alas! Why can a casual sentence from my husband make Yanran feel uncontrollable and hum?" Xiang Shaolong felt ashamed, he knew that the reason he was able to catch up with this peerless beauty, and impress the pure and pure Qin Qing, for example, was because he had more than two thousand years of historical and cultural experience than them.That is also the biggest capital for him to deal with Lu Buwei, otherwise he would have packed his bags and reported to Yan Huangye long ago. At this time, Wu Tingfang and Zhao Zhi, who were taking Xiang Baoer out to play, just came back, and Xiang Shaolong played with them for a while, until dusk, and then hurried out to meet up with Teng Jing at the Duqiwei Station, and went to Lubuwei together banquet.
