Chapter 75 Section 5 Blood Fire Crown Sword Day Chaos Unabated

On Jiyou Day in April of the ninth year of King Qin, Yongcheng held a grand coronation and pro-government ceremony. Everything was unusually fast: Lao Ai and a group of cronies were all captured alive before they escaped from Beidi. People in 13 counties in the central and western part of Guanzhong captured and killed more than 20,000 members of Lao Ai's remaining party, and none of the rebels could escape to Li. To the east of the mountain, the more than 20,000 rebels in Xianyang City were defeated by the 2,000 royal light soldiers of Chang Wenjun, and all of them were captured and killed; The Yang county magistrate's army of captives and the old Qin people who came spontaneously stopped the melee, beheaded more than 10,000, and captured more than 3,000 alive, and none of them slipped through the net.The date of the coronation ceremony lasted half a month, and Lao Ai and thousands of remnants of his party were all escorted to Yunyang State Prison and held in heavy shackles.There is only one queen mother, Zhao Ji, and no one dares to make a decision.So Yingzheng personally ordered: "The Empress Dowager moved to Qiaoyang Palace, pending decision in accordance with the law." This Qiaoyang Palace is the narrowest palace in Guanzhong, and the monarch rarely visits it in person. In fact, it has been a cold palace for many years.With this order, there was an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties!However, after all, it was chaos in Xinping, after all, it was the Empress Dowager who had done it, and the hearts of the government and the public were still concerned about Qin Wangguanli, so there were no violent discussions at the moment.

The coronation ceremony is orderly.Lu Buwei led all the courtiers in Xianyang to arrive as scheduled.Yingzheng bathed and fasted for three days in the Ancestral Temple of Yongcheng, and then offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.At noon on April 12th, the crowning ceremony was solemnly held in the main hall of Dazheng Palace in Yongcheng.Gang Chengjun Cai Zesi Li.Lu Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin, crowned the King of Qin.Chang Wenjun Ying Ben bestowed the Qin King Mu Gong sword on behalf of his ancestors.The ceremony of the crown and sword was completed, and the Taishi ordered Dangdian to count the seal of the King of Qin and the military symbols presented by all parties, and recorded them one by one in the national history.Afterwards, Lu Buwei announced in the palace: I invite you to go to the title of "Zhongfu" and return to the king of Qin.

King Yingzheng of Qin promulgated the first pro-government edict: Marquis Wenxin, Lv Buwei, added a fief of hundreds of miles, and still led the prime minister who opened the mansion as the general regent; the rest of the lords, ministers, and generals, who made contributions to suppressing the rebellion of Lai Ai, were all entrusted to Marquis Wenxin All the internal servants who participated in the war were ranked first in the Jin army; Wang Wan entered the chief history and was in charge of the affairs of the royal city; Meng Tian entered Xianyang and was in charge of the general of Xianyang, and was in charge of the military administration of the capital; The military affairs of the camp; the internal servant Zhao Gao entered the Shaofu and was in charge of the royal treasury.

"The king of Qin is clearly investigating!" After the edict was announced, the ministers immediately supported it with one voice, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Over the years, there have been many rumors of Qin's government being multi-headed, and the government and the public have become more and more confused about the new Qin King, especially the ministers in Xianyang.When the crown prince was established, everyone said that Ying Zheng was so talented, but after nine years on the throne, he didn't have any amazing insights, and people were a little confused.But no matter how elusive a person is, as long as he becomes a king and governs himself, he will eventually show his true nature.The first hurdle of this pro-government is to manipulate the court situation, and one edict can see the political style.If we follow the Yingzheng disposition rumored by the government and the public, it is unknown that Qin Wang Dafeng followed him to quell the chaos of Lai Ai.If this is the case, the courtiers have nothing to say.After all, it was also thanks to the young King Qin and a few young assistants to get rid of this disgusting and nasty thing called Lai Ai.However, if it is really great, such as conferring a king or worshiping a general, the courtiers still don't think so.After all, the grand title of the state is not achieved by one effort!Now that the first pro-government edict was issued, the ministers applauded from the bottom of their hearts - the rewards are stable and in line with the law!From this point of view, punishing the rebel criminals must follow Lu Buwei's way of lenient punishment and Anguo, let alone the matter of the Empress Dowager. If this is the case, the Qin State will be safe!

After the crowning ceremony, Yingzheng returned to Xianyang overnight, and the ministers were inexplicably surprised. On the second day after entering Xianyang King City, Yingzheng immediately entered state affairs, and sent Chief Shi Wangwan to invite Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, and summoned Ting Wei, Si Kou, Xian Bandit, Yu Shi, State Prisoner, and Guozheng Prison to practice the law. The minister held a small court meeting in the Dongpian Hall to discuss the conviction and punishment of Lai Ai for rebelling against the party.According to the tradition of more than a hundred years, the laws of Qin State are strict, and any crime has always been convicted according to law, and there has never been a precedent for a court meeting to discuss a certain case.However, since LV Buwei's regent, after the first court conference was held to decide the defeat of Meng Ao's army, there seemed to be another constitution that was not yet established but had been tacitly accepted by the courtiers: severe punishment can be punished by the court meeting, and the court meeting can be used for lenient punishment.Because people cherished this thought, a group of ministers who practiced the law looked at Lu Buwei silently, obviously wanting to hear what Lu Buwei had to say first.Lu Buwei's heart was sharp, he just sat down and sipped his tea calmly, without any sign of opening his mouth.Yingzheng was not at a loss, his sharp eyes only repeatedly patrolled the ministers sitting upright, clearly waiting patiently for the first person to speak.

"Since it is a law-related court meeting, there is no way for the veterans to avoid it." Finally, the dark, skinny, iron-faced old Tingwei said, "The reason why the veterans waited silently is that they want to wait for the King of Qin and the Prime Minister to set the rules for this case: Is the crime questioned according to the law? Is the punishment lenient outside the law? If the crime is questioned according to the law, the matter is simple and clear. At the court meeting, the veterans speculated that extrajudicial punishment was required. If this is the case, the King of Qin and the Xiangguo must first decide how to measure it. Otherwise, the veterans will have nothing to say."

"This is exactly what I mean." Several ministers said in unison. "What do Wen Xinhou think?" Ying Zheng asked lightly. "The state has laws and regulations, so it should be in accordance with the law." Lu Buwei sternly slammed on the case, "However, the law has no thousands of details. If there are indeed special personnel, they should be dealt with properly according to the facts. Back then, Meng Ao's lenient punishment was just a matter of measure. Be lenient according to the situation, if it is not lenient, there will be few generals in the Qin army! Since you are the ministers of the state, you should always plan for the long-term of the state, be strict when you are strict, and be lenient when you are lenient. What is the job of the waiter?"

"Wen Xinhou is in trouble!" The iron-faced old Tingwei still has an eternally flat black face, "When you are lenient, you are lenient, and when you are strict, you are strict. The theory of the rule of kings is also the theory of the rule of law. But there is a law first. The measure of leniency and strictness lies in the law, and what crimes and punishments are known to everyone. What can be considered by law enforcement is the type of punishment, the level of punishment, the distance of exile, and the length of hard labor. Why is the law established? The theory of leniency and strictness by people? Those who are lenient and strict by people, the three emperors and five emperors, and the kings of the three generations, are not the legal system of the Qin State for more than a hundred years. Although the Qin law is strict, the king also has the right to pardon. Since the king gave the order first, and the ministers decide how to carry it out, why is there anything wrong with that?" A dispute over the rule of law and the rule of man was brought up in the hall, and the hall fell silent for a while.

"What Tingwei said is what the family said, let alone." Lu Buwei smiled faintly.It was the first time that Lu Buwei was confronted with a positive refutation, but he knew that the old Tingwei was a ruthless idiot, and he would never bow his head to any legal principles he believed, nor would he care about who was refuted by him. Entangling the rule of man and the rule of law is really boring, so he changed his sentence and sighed, "The only one who is worried about the old minister is the Queen Mother! If the Queen Mother is involved in the case today, if it is dealt with outside the law, what will be the royal family's face? This is also illegal. Li Ye, how can I not think twice before acting?"

The most important and taboo issue in the case was abruptly brought out of the court by Lu Buwei, and several ministers immediately turned their eyes on the young King Qin with awe.Yingzheng had an indifferent expression on his face, "Crack!" He knocked on the king's case and said, "You are all ministers of the law. Since you have doubts, this king has established a rule: From now on, no matter the size of the case, no matter what the matter involves Whoever is involved will be convicted by the Taiwan Administrative Office according to the law, and then reported to the King for a decision, and there is no need for a court decision." The ministers were stunned, Lu Buwei was indifferent, but Ying Zheng didn't look at anyone, "Today's court meeting, originally criticized the law. Punishment is actually a matter of discussion. The so-called matter of discussion is that this king has heard about you: Lai Ai plotting rebellion and rebellion is a disgrace to the rule of law of the Qin State! But if everything is done according to the law, how can this beast enter the palace as an eunuch? In this way, the king made a decision: the six ministers will jointly investigate the case with the consul of the Tingwei Mansion. Except for the special envoy of the king, no other official office will intervene; Delay!"

"Queen..." Guozhengjian asked cautiously. Yingzheng was suddenly annoyed, and stood up abruptly: "This king is involved in the case, so deal with it as it should be!" With a flick of his sleeves, he left.There was a moment of silence in the hall, the six ministers saw that Lu Buwei, who was a little embarrassed, didn't know why, so they each bowed their hands to the young Chang Shi who had been writing in the corner of the hall, and left the hall one after another. "Wen Xinhou..." Wang Wan came over as if wanting to comfort Lu Buwei who was sitting numbly. "It's God's will!" Lu Buwei sighed heavily, waved to Wang Wan, got up to support the case and left.Looking at the back of Lu Buwei, who was already showing his old age, Wang Wan's eyes couldn't help getting moist. In July, it was hot, and everyone in Guanzhong was sweating profusely.Qin Wang Yingzheng made an exception and did not go to any palace to escape the summer heat, but was still guarding Xianyang Wangcheng, busy in the king's study deep in the woods, and the lights were often on until four o'clock at night.All the government offices in Wangcheng resumed their day and night duty, and for the first time, there was an ice shortage in Wangcheng ice cellar, which was not caused by summer burials but just to cool off.The old housekeepers and maids who hadn’t seen this scene for a long time were very moved, and they sighed when they met everyone: "Daqin is lucky to see the life of King Zhaoxiang again!" Here comes the conviction and sentence of the Lao Ai case—— 6,347 members of Lai Ai and the rest of the party were captured in the suppression of chaos, and they were convicted and punished according to the law. Twenty-seven people, including Jie and Zhong Dafu Lingqi, were executed for the crime of rebellion and rebellion; 2,333 servants and maids were beheaded for the crime of rebellion and rebellion; People who have not fought against the rebels will be punished as ghost salaries; there are 4,163 people who have been rebellious against the rebels, and they will be punished separately. Leng Gong, never heard about political affairs. Without any hesitation, Ying Zheng pointed to the cinnabar with a large thick brush specially made for him by Meng Tian, ​​and wrote a line of large characters on the blank space of the title of the long scroll of bamboo slips: "Yes. Autumn punishment!" After the approved sentence was issued to Tingwei's Mansion, the Sixth Department of Law was immediately busy, and it took a whole month just to screen the population of more than 4,000 families who had registered in Fangling.Entering the execution period of the frost season in September, the Weishui Caotan Great Execution Ground was crowded with people. When Lao Ai was savagely driven apart by five colorful buffaloes, the entire execution ground cheered.The old Qin people all said that this is the biggest execution ground after King Hui of Qin slaughtered and restored the old clan, and Qin State will have a new look!Some people also say that if the country is in chaos and the people are harmed, they should be killed, but there are also people who should not be killed, which is a crime! On the day of the great punishment, King Qin's "Letter to the Court and Field Subjects" impressively hung four gates of Xianyang: As soon as this edict was proclaimed, the people of old Qin were very happy.The king of Qin is wise, it's time to punish this group of officials!It is clear that a monster with a big dick can be sent to the palace as an eunuch with his beard pulled out, and he also made the queen mother give birth to two private princes, which made the old Qin people blush when talking about it, no wonder there are no perverts!Besides, the state of Qin is originally good, and everything is under the control of others, how smooth it is!Suddenly in 1957 it was a mess, no one cared about anything, even the dignified Prime Minister Wenxinhou's mansion became a decoration, the flood in Guanzhong the year before last starved the people to death and no one cared about it, is this still the state of Qin?Can this be said to be the crime of only one person, that big dick, Lai Ai?Ghost letter!This new king of Qin is powerful, and his decision to kill is always on the point of fate!You can see that it was Qin Xiaogong who generally criticized the father and the king, but in fact he was avoiding openly criticizing Wen Xinhou, but he broke the matter clearly; Blaming the common people, only reprimanding those officials who broke the law and did bad things, this clearly means that the common people of the Qin State are all good people, and they are all bad things done by these dog officials!Tsk tsk tsk, it's just these two strokes, it's better than my grandfather and father!Going forward is right, Qin State is going to be powerful again! On the night of the great punishment, Tiemian Lao Tingwei and Guozhengjian secretly asked to see King Qin. Ying Zheng was flipping through nearly twenty years of documents in his study, when he heard Zhao Gao's report, he immediately went to the corridor to greet the two veteran officials.The old court lieutenant was not good at exchanging greetings, so he took his seat with a serious tone: "Please see me at night, old minister. I came here to report the secrets involved in the case. One is false and the other is true. The false one reports to the State Supervisor, and the real one reports to the old minister." Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing Said: "There are still false things involved in the case, strange! Let's talk about falsehood first." The Guozheng Supervisor pondered for a while and said solemnly: "The ministers and others have verified that the two illegitimate sons of Lai Ai and the Queen Mother have been killed in the rebellion. However, Shandong Six There are many rumors in the country: one is that the king of Qin sent private soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to kill the two sons, and the other is that the king of Qin entered Yongcheng and threw his two sons to death in the secret room of the Dazheng Palace. The ministers and others traced the source of the rumors. The servants. The two sons are gone, so it’s worthless. However, the only concern is: Can you use rumors to attack the royal family and ask for guilt against the few servants who did not participate in the war? That’s all.” "Damn it!" Ying Zheng's face turned livid and repeated, "If this sinful son is alive, this king will kill him himself! Rumors attack me, so why not be afraid! Besides, according to the law of the country, the two sons are also given death. Even Ying What the government does is wrong!" "Then, a few servants..." After a long period of silence, Ying Zheng exclaimed: "It's not a rebellious army, let it go." "Such an old minister reports the truth." The iron-faced old Tingwei's thin face suddenly twitched. , the woman in charge of Wenxinhou's mansion, named Mohu, entered the palace with Wenxinhou's warrant, and ordered the head of Migong Fang to perform the castration in person, and an internal attendant to assist in surgery; After washing his face, he handed over to the female steward Mo Humi to take him away in a car. This is the first one. Second, the two maids on the empress dowager’s couch confessed that the female steward Mo Hu was also ordered by Wen Xinhou to enter the Liangshan Summer Palace before, and sent Lai Ai Juyang It seems that the drama was revealed to the Queen Mother intentionally; a few months later, Lao Ai entered Liangshan. Third, the nephew of the Lai Ai clan confessed: Lai Ai is the nephew of the widow Qing clan, and Wen Xinhou was entrusted by the widow Qing to help her The nephew of the clan became an official; later, Lao Ai took the widow's branded wide slips and defected to Wen Xinhou, and became a guest of Wen Xinhou's family. All these three things have been proved by people and material evidence, which fully proves that the origin of Lai Ai was all started by Wen Xinhou. This matter is serious, and the old minister dare not report it." "..." As he listened, Ying Zheng's sharp gaze became blank, and he was in a daze for a long time.When he regained his composure, he saw that there were no longer the two old ministers in the seat, only Zhao Gao stood cautiously in the shadow of the lamp. "Xiao Gaozi, tell me, is there anyone trustworthy in this world..." Ying Zheng's voice was erratic like dreamy raving, and tears were still flowing from his eyes, but he didn't realize it.The shrewd and alert Zhao Gao saw for the first time that King Qin, whom he regarded as divine, was in such pain and pitiful. He panicked and kowtowed in front of Ying Zheng for the first time. Your lord, you might as well hit Xiao Gaozi once. Paused... you, you, your lord can't... Suddenly, Ying Zheng hissed and laughed loudly: "God is also God, why are you teasing me like this!" Sensen got up and staggered while laughing.Zhao Gao hurriedly followed, but he saw King Qin entered the Populus euphratica forest as if sleepwalking, swaying quietly.Seeing the frost and fog getting thicker and colder, Zhao Gao held the fur but dared not go forward.Gradually the rooster crowed, Diao Dou stopped, and the sky became hazy, but Ying Zheng, who was still walking alone, collapsed.Zhao Gao strode forward, carried King Qin on his back without saying a word, and flew back to the bedroom. Lu Buwei lived in the Wenxin Academy again. Roaming under the orchid pond forest, an unspeakable thought clogged his heart, Lu Buwei, who was over sixty years old, was confused for the first time.It's not that the state affairs are in vain, it's not that the power is shrinking, but that for the first time in my heart, I don't have the kind of magnanimity and firmness, I don't have the kind of awe-inspiring righteousness, I don't have the courage to act bravely for the Dao that I admire only in the face of all rumors. .He really didn't understand how, after a long period of vicissitudes, he could come up with such a stupid and absurd way to end such a deep-rooted love affair?Ever since he entered the business world when he was young, Lu Buwei has made decisions before acting on everything. He has never miscalculated in business and travel planning for more than 20 years, and he has never miscalculated in his 20 years of political career. How could he miss such trifles?At that time, his plan was: to send Lai Ai secretly to Zhao Ji's palace, which can not only relieve the loneliness of Zhao Ji's young widow, but also entrust all the widows to Qing, and at the same time, relieve himself of the embarrassment of not being good at doing this, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone. and also.Ordinarily, all sorts of affairs happened frequently after the widowed Empress Dowager of Qin State, none of which became a scandal in the government and the public, and none of them became a chaos in the court. Find a man to chat with Zhao Ji, who is the queen mother, to satisfy her hunger and thirst. I really want to There is no sign of danger.However, less than a month after sending Lao Ai to Liangshan Summer Palace, he suddenly had an ominous premonition!Because there is only one reason, Lai Ai actually did it like lightning, and that was the highest official title he planned for Lai Ai, which could only happen ten or twenty years later.From then on, sudden rewards followed one after another. Not only did this Lao Ai's power expand like a madman, but even Zhao Ji, who had never cared about political affairs, became the Queen Mother like a madman. !Things went wrong step by step, and his heart was silted up day by day, so that he became more and more out of breath due to the heavy silt.Every midnight nightmare, it's always Lai Ai and Zhao Ji baring her teeth and claws, sitting up suddenly in a cold sweat, and muttering unbelievably unimaginable to herself.But no matter how many times he felt unbelievable, Lu Buwei still soberly recalculated every detail of this matter countless times, and finally figured it out.In the end, he did not plan for the three flaws in this matter in advance: First, Zhao Ji's affection for him in the past can be described as deep, once she was ignored or even rejected by him as a "stand-in", what kind of unusual behavior would Zhao Ji have? heart of?Second, Lai Ai was originally a madman, but he had never thought about the power to conquer a widowed woman in her prime, even if she thought about it, she would never think about it.Third, Lai Ai's false castration may reveal the truth sooner or later, but he never planned that the truth of Lai Ai's giant sun would be known to the government and the public in just one year... until he thought clearly, the big mistake had already been made It's done.However, what made Lu Buwei most distressed was that he could not end this most embarrassing situation in the most appropriate way.He invited the most skilled swordsmen to assassinate Lao Ai, but this brutal beast escaped by luck.He sent Mo Hu secretly into Liangshan Summer Palace and Yong City three times, urging Zhao Ji to abandon this brutish beast, at least "depose" this alien who wears a monkey crown, but the ruddy and plump Zhao Ji just giggled and said: " It’s so exhilarating, does Marquis Wenxin know? Zhao Ji just realized today: He has his merits, and I have mine! What’s so great about a marquis? Isn't it normal in the end?" Lu Buwei finally understood that this woman's thoughts will always be a mystery to him!If all these schemes hadn't failed, he would not have openly supported King Qin's pro-government, nor would he have secretly assisted King Qin to destroy Lai Ai and affect Zhao Ji. However, he didn't relax at all, instead, he felt more and more blocked. The king of Qin regards the chaos of Lai Ai as a national humiliation and legal shame, and his sharp edge directly points to his political strategy. The "Letter to the Court and the People" even directly denounces "probation of the law and lenient punishment" as the source of chaos in the country. The meaning of the court is very obvious!If it's just such a political matter, Lu Buwei can deal with it calmly, if you can change it, you can change it, if you can't change it, you can fight, the way of merit, Lu Buwei will never let anyone else!This is still the case when you first entered the Qin Kingdom, how about today?What makes Lu Buwei deeply embarrassed is that he has a strong premonition that the truth about Lai Ai will soon be revealed to the world, and that Zongzong's secret scandals will be directed at him!There are more than 6,000 prisoners in the remaining party of Lai Ai, and there is a thorough investigation by the six bureaus of the court and lieutenants. Why can't the truth come to light?In terms of national law, entering false eunuchs to disrupt the palace and state affairs is unforgivable for anyone.In terms of the theory of love, to be the second father and humiliate Gu Ming's mother and son, no matter who they are, all relationships will be lost.Don't say that such things are publicized to the government and the public, it is embarrassing to think about it, and at that time, you Lu Buwei and He Yan lived in the country... "Marquis Wen Xin, it's fun!" "Gang Chengjun?" Lu Buwei suddenly said, "Come on, sit down under the pavilion." Stepping on the rustling yellow leaves and entering the stone pavilion by the pool, Cai Ze smirked and said, "Serve the wine! Lao Zhao, the old man will not rest until he is drunk today!" Lu Buwei smiled lightly, and asked the young servant outside the pavilion without asking why. beckoning.The young servant turned around and went. In a short while, one or two rounds of wine and food carts came, and the wine and food were placed on the big stone table and came to serve the wine.Cai Ze waved his hands and said with a smile: "You just go, the old man will come." Lu Buwei gave a look, and the young servant walked out of the pavilion lightly. "Wen Xinhou, we will see each other again today!" "What does Mr. Gang Cheng mean?" Lu Buwei was startled suddenly. "The old man wants to resign and travel far away, what does Marquis Wen Xin think?" "Wait a minute." Lu Buwei's heart moved, "Wait a while, you and I will go together." "Let's talk and talk! Do you want to escape before the battle is over?" "The time is right! It's time for Lu Buwei to leave Qin." "It's a big mistake!" Cai Ze guzzled a swig and repeatedly shot the case, "I know what you're thinking, but I just tell you, it's a mistake! It's a big mistake! After two months, this old man, the King of Qin, has spotted it: the important matter of the country. Don't pay attention to grievances, don't listen to rumors! Don't look at the imperial edict that seems to accuse you Wen Xinhou of being in power, but in fact it excuses you, and would rather blame the fault on your own father. As for the administration of officials, it really needs to be purged! Three to five years When you are not in power, Lai Ai has made a mess of the upper and lower government offices, how can it be so messy? At this moment, what are you doing? Are you going crazy if you don’t become regent? You are really old and faint!" Maybe it is No more scruples, Cai Ze's impassionedness has never been seen before. "Since that's the case, why did you go so far?" "Old man, otherwise!" Cai Ze continued to shoot the case, "Ji Qin has no merit, Gao Jue has nothing to do, it's like chewing wax, how long will it be if you don't leave? Let me tell you the truth: First, the old man has found a boss for your big book." It’s not a waste of time to be a substitute! Second, the old man asked for an errand to go to the country of Yan. Once the mission is over, the old man will hand over the errand on the spot! Hehe, it’s neat and convenient, so why not do it!” "God's will!" Lu Buwei sighed. Cai Ze couldn't help laughing loudly: "If you are absent-minded, the article is wrong! Wen Xinhou is old!" "Gun Chengjun," Lu Buwei unconsciously lowered his voice, "There are rumors that the King of Qin killed Lai Ai's two sons, how do you think this matter will be resolved?" Cai Ze laughed again: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense! The old man entered the Dazheng Palace in Yongcheng together with Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao saw that the rebellious army killed two sons by mistake. What did he have to do with the King of Qin? If you teach the old man, it is because God favored the Queen Mother! The old man Chang Wenjun sued the old man afterwards, the Ying family has a family Regulations: But as the queen mother, personal affairs are ignored. If you have an illegitimate son, the mother and son must be executed in the Taimiao together! You say, the two sons are dead, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to excuse the queen mother? If Yingzheng did it, wouldn’t it be pity? Mother’s heart! What can I do? It’s not over!” Lu Buwei let out a long sigh, and then said after thinking: “According to Mr. Gang Cheng’s opinion, will the crime of Lai Ai be linked to the ruling and opposition parties?” “Absolutely not!” Cai Ze didn't hesitate at all, "The King of Qin is a king who understands the law and strategy. Telling his subjects that the law as stated in the imperial edict is a disgrace to the country is actually a way to purge officials, not a way to implicate the innocent! Half the dynasty is also unknown." After a long silence, Lu Buwei held up the bronze jue and sighed: "This man is going to leave me alone, God can't bear it! Do it!" He drank it up without waiting for Cai Ze to return his words.At this time, a clerk from the prime minister's mansion came in a hurry and reported that the king of Qin was bedridden with a high fever due to the cold, and several urgent documents would have to wait for a while.Lu Buwei contemplated for a moment, then said he entered the palace, pulled Cai Ze up and left. The two drove into the Wangcheng, and the east side hall was really deserted.Seeing that Lu Buwei's spirit improved, Chang Shi Wang Wan felt relieved, but hurried to the bedroom to report without saying anything.After a while, Wang Wan came back and said that Qin Wang had just finished taking the decoction and the imperial physician needed acupuncture, so it was inconvenient to see the minister.However, King Qin heard that the two came to visit together, and said a word: "Wen Xinhou can rule the country, so why not be sick!" Lu Buwei's heart became hot, and he immediately said solemnly: "Chang Shi told King Qin that state affairs are supported by the Prime Minister's House. It's okay for Wang Dan to recuperate and recover!" After leaving Wangcheng, he went straight back to the prime minister's mansion to deal with the backlog of official documents. Ten days later, King Qin's condition had not eased, and the Prime Minister's Mansion became busy again.At nightfall, Lu Buwei was burying his head in his study, but Li Si came back in a hurry.Li Si said that the route of the ditch has been generally surveyed, and Zheng Guo, the hydraulic engineer, is finally surveying the mouth of Hukou that led Jing out of the mountain; the day before yesterday, he received a letter from Cai Ze, asking him to come back and complete the aftermath of the school's big book on his behalf.Only now did Lu Buwei understand that the substitute Cai Ze was looking for was Li Si, and he couldn't help laughing: "That's fine! With you in charge, I will have no worries!" Immediately, he put down the official documents on his desk, and took Li Si to the academy. The next day, Li Si immediately started to work hard.It is also Li Si who is very energetic and very organized, and arranges a group of master writers and disciples in an orderly manner: Supplementary writing, error correction, general compilation, transcription, and engraved bamboo slips are connected in five circles, and a lot of Cai Ze's legacy Difficulties and omissions were sorted out in one month.In the middle of winter, Li Si, who was standing by the burning stove day and night, had finally approved all the big books and articles, and listed all the matters that should be considered by Lu Buwei, so he made a special trip to Xianyang to invite Lu Buwei to make the final decision. "If one step is so quick, you are a great talent!" Lu Buwei couldn't help but admire sincerely. "Wen Xinhou, please read it," Li Si pointed to the neatly stacked bamboo slips of the six major cases, and at the same time held up the long scroll of the general outline to report to Lu Buwei, "This book is divided into three parts and 26 volumes, which are: Ba Lan No. One, the second part of the Six Theories, and the third part of the Twelve Chronicles, with a total of 26 volumes. The eight volumes of the Reading Department are called Ba Lan. It is the foundation of politics. The six volumes of the Department of Discussion are called Liu Lun. Its name is based on the meaning of weighing and assessing and establishing regulations. Taking the twelve months of spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage as the twelve seasons, the political affairs should be counted every month; its purpose is to delineate the outline of state affairs on a monthly basis to clarify priorities. The theory is the keynote, the history is the mirror, and the history books of various countries and the knowledge of scholars are used as examples. It is well-founded and can be called brilliant and eloquent. All the texts are now completed, and the most important thing that needs to be considered is the title of the book.” "Just tell me, what is the title of the proposed book?" ""Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"!" "Oh?" Lu Buwei was obviously surprised, "What's the reason?" "This book is Wen Xinhou's way of governing the country, and its purpose is the same as Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals." Lu Buwei took the long scroll and looked at it for a while, and said decisively: "That's good! Since the old man is in charge, it will be "Lu Shi Chunqiu"!" Li Si cupped his hands and said: "However, I have another word. Miscellaneous, compiling this kind of book with both historical theory and theory is justified. If Marquis Wenxin can revise the text one by one, the charm of this book will come out by itself!" Lu Buwei couldn't help sighing: "Li Si, I don't have any academics at all, so I don't want to read a little Thinking of thinking has turned into such a big book, it’s not human! It’s God’s will! It was originally intended to transform Qin’s thoughts, but today’s situation, I really don’t know how to deal with it!” Seeing Lu Buwei’s painful expression, Li Si couldn’t help but sigh Zhonglai: "How difficult is it for Marquis Wenxin! Li Si has a plan, and I hope the public will accept it." "Oh? Just say it!" "Make it public, and let others comment." Li Si suddenly thought of Lu Buwei's reliance on him, and his heart suddenly became emotional, "My teacher Xunzi's "Uncovering Chapter" says: Xuancheng, hidden Defeated. If "Lu Shi Chunqiu" can be spread openly to the world, it is to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the common people, to transform Qin into a small man, and to transform the world!" "Good insight!" The long-lost hearty laughter spewed out, and Lu Buwei was very excited. "Shi Chunqiu". Sure enough, what a pity that Lu Buwei died!" (End of the fourth part)
