Chapter 8 Section Seven

The winter sky is high and sad.In the open and desolate wilderness, the passage of the wind is unstoppable.Scattered snowflakes, dancing with the wind, indicate that a heavy snow is coming. Because of Meng Tian's presence, the military officials could only follow the public opinion, standing on the sidelines from a distance, not daring to interfere. The ink has been polished, the pen has been presented, and the bamboo slips are slowly spread out.There are snowflakes falling on the bamboo slips, turning into water drops, like teardrops.Countless people have already held their breath, and countless eyes are gathered on the same person.

Facing the expectations and pressure from outside his body, Li Si was like a mountain, sitting calmly, not angry but mighty. Like snowflakes falling to the ground, the pen fell gently, writing the first word "Chen", and after that, it was like a sharp ship breaking through the ice, and it was out of control. Yan Yu's "Canglang Poetry Talk" commented on Li Baizhi's genius: "For others to write poems with pens, Taibai can be sprayed on the chest." Li Si's composition is generally similar.The resentment and resentment that had been smoldering in his chest for a long time spurted out and poured down on the end of the pen, flowing forever.

At this time, Li Si, with the wind blowing his sleeves, his beard and hair flamboyant, is as graceful as a fairy, just like Ji Kang playing the piano and playing the perfect sound, as if there is no one else around, forgetting both things and me.A song with Junge, please listen to me.In an instant, all eight hundred and thirty-nine characters were swept away. Although the outsiders didn't know what Li Si wrote, they were all infected by his gestures, so they were very happy and happy.They will always remember today's scene: a man in the wilderness rewrote their destiny and China's destiny with the pen in his hand.

Meng Tian has been standing by the side all the time, as Li Si's writing progresses, his complexion is also sad and happy, and he can't be himself. After the book was completed, Li Si threw his pen on the ground and sighed: "There is no admonition in the world that must be successful, and there is no king who must listen to it. I just talk about human affairs. Whether it is successful or not, I have little hatred." Meng Tian took the bamboo slips respectfully, and said: "I hope that you will return to Xianyang soon, and someone will serve you a wine to meet the wind and get drunk together." The escort officer stepped forward bravely and reminded Meng Tian in a low voice: "By the king's order , all the way must not stop. Today has been an exception and delayed for a while, it is time to start again."

Meng Tian knew the duty of the escort officer, so he didn't come to make things difficult for him.Meng Tian pointed to the dozens of knights he had brought, and said to Li Si: "Sir, there may be wind and rain on this journey, which is unpredictable. These more than ten sons are all selected athletes. I hope you will not abandon them and allow them to guard you." Li Si nodded Head, heart said, although Meng Tian is young, he is already thoughtful.In case there were killers ambushing along the way, the presence of dozens of them was enough to guarantee his safety. Meng Tian then ordered the knight to say, "Anyone who dares to get close to the gentleman by three feet will be killed!" After saying that, he got on his horse, rode Juechen alone, and returned to Xianyang.

Li Si's letter of advice successfully reached Ying Zheng's hands.Yingzheng read the volume, but saw his book saying: "The officials heard that the officials discussed chasing guests, and I thought it was too much. In the past, Duke Mu asked for scholars, Yu Yurong from the west, Xi Yuwan from the east, Xi Yuwan from the east, uncle Wang from the Song Dynasty, Pibao from Pibao, and Gongsun from the Jin Dynasty. These five sons did not give birth. In the Qin Dynasty, Mu Gong used it, merged the country in twenty, and then dominated Xirong. Xiao Gong used the law of commercial martingale, changed customs and customs, the people prospered in Yin, the country became prosperous and strong, the people liked to use it, and the princes obeyed them. Thousands of miles away, so far it has been strong. King Hui used Zhang Yi's plan to pull out the land of three rivers, merge Bashu in the west, collect Shangjun in the north, take Hanzhong in the south, enclose Jiuyi, control Yanying, occupy the danger of Chenggao in the east, and cut the fertile soil. Then scattered the servants of the six kingdoms, and made them serve Qin in the west, and their merits have been applied to this day. King Zhao won Fanju, abolished Ranghou, expelled Huayang, strengthened the public house, Du private gate, nibbled at the princes, and made Qin an emperor. These four monarchs , All rely on the merits of the guests. From this point of view, how can the guests lose to Qin Zai! To make the four monarchs stay away from the guests and not to use them, so that the country has no wealth and profit, and Qin has no strong name.

The jade that your majesty sends to Kunshan today is the treasure of easy-going, the pearl of the hanging moon, the sword of Tai'a, the horse of slenderness, the flag of the emerald phoenix, and the drum of the tree spirit.Qin did not give birth to this number of treasures, but your majesty said it, why?It must be born of the Qin State, but it is the jade of night light, not for the court; the rhinoceros and elephant are not for fun; Use; Xishu Danqing is not for mining.Therefore, those who decorate the post-officials, pretend to be old, entertain the mind, and talk about the eyes and ears must come from the Qin Dynasty, then the hairpins of Wanzhu, the clothes of Fu Ji, the clothes of Ajin, and the ornaments of splendor are not advanced; they follow the vulgar and elegant. Hua, Jiaye is slender, and Zhao Nu does not stand on the side.The husband hits the urn and knocks on the fou, plays the zither and beats the legs, and those who sing and sing to the ears are the voice of the real Qin; between Zheng Wei and Sang, Shao Yu and Wuxiang are the joy of foreign countries.Now abandon hitting the urn and knocking on the fou and take Zheng Wei, withdraw the zither and take Shaoyu, what if?If you are happy at present, it is only suitable for viewing.This is not the case in today's selection of people, regardless of whether it is acceptable or not, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, those who are not Qin will go, and those who are guests will be chased away.This is not the reason for crossing the sea and controlling the princes.

The ministers have heard that those with a large land have many grains, those with a large country have many people, and those with strong soldiers are brave.Therefore, Mount Tai does not give way to people, so it can become big; rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep;Therefore, the land has no four directions, the people have no foreign countries, the four seasons are full of beauty, and the ghosts and gods bless them. This is why the five emperors and three kings are invincible.Today, the head of Guizhou was abandoned to capitalize on the enemy's country, but the guests used to be the princes, so that the people of the world retreated and did not dare to go west, and could not enter the Qin Dynasty.Husbands are not produced in Qin, but there are many treasures; scholars are not produced in Qin, but many who are willing to be loyal.Today, chasing guests to capitalize on the enemy's country, harming the people to benefit the enemy, internally vain and externally resenting the princes, seeking the country without danger, it is impossible to obtain it. "

This is the famous "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" that has been handed down through the ages.Reading this article today, although there are many gaps, I can still be moved by it.Yingzheng is the one in the government, who has the deepest experience. After reading the elegant text, he praised the festival, sighed again and again, and sighed: "Wow, if there is no such book, the fault of the widow will ruin the Qin State."
