Chapter 23

Wei Liao, Han Fei, Zhou Chong, Gan Luo, Li Si, Wang Ao, Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​Nei Shiteng and others sat quietly, looking at the King of Qin who was strolling back and forth with his eyebrows.

Zhou Chong and the others knew that the King of Qin summoned them to arrange the destruction of Zhao. This incident made people very excited and was something that everyone had been looking forward to. Although the destruction of Zhao was expected, once it really came, it still made people feel passionate. The King of Qin could not hide his excitement and couldn't help but pace.

The King of Qin walked for a while, suddenly stopped, glanced at everyone, and said, "Everyone, you are my arms, I will destroy Zhao soon. I will say what you think, say it."

Although his words were concise and to the point, Zhou Chong and others had magical powers. The heat in everyone's eyes increased sharply and their passion was surging. If the King of Qin immediately ordered a fight, they would definitely rush over without hesitation.

Once the Zhao State was destroyed, the biggest obstacle to the Qin army's advance eastward was eliminated. The three kingdoms of Wei, Qi and Yan in the three kingdoms of Yu San were vulnerable, and it was only a matter of time before and afterwards. Then the world was unified, and the achievements of an unprecedented person and no one came from later were achieved because of them. These elites of the times and passionate patriots would not be excited.

Zhou Chong knew the significance and influence of the great cause of the Qin King's unification. He was even the first person to live in the unified pattern created by the Qin King. It should not be excited, but he was still so excited that he burst into tears and said, "The king is wise and wise, he will definitely achieve great cause!" This has been proved by history. Zhou Chong, a modern man, should not say this almost empty sentence at all. However, in the scene at that time, he couldn't help but say it, with passion in his heart and difficulty in himself!

"The king is wise. It will surely come!" Wei Liao and the others could not hide their excitement and praised them loudly.

"I have no power to achieve great things, but also my achievements!" The King of Qin said humbly: "If you hadn't given me advice and corrected my mistakes, I wouldn't know how many mistakes I would make. If I hadn't you, I wouldn't have been able to have today's situation. Mr. Liaozi, tell me, before the war, what else should I do? This war is related to the safety of the world. I cannot make any mistakes. Mr. Liaozi just said it. If there is any mistake, I will correct it!"

Any mistake must be corrected. It is indeed a great virtue of the King of Qin, which is remarkable!

"The king, Liaozi thought that the three armies gathered together and could only wait for the king to give orders. "Yi Liao fully utilized his talents and explained the great significance of the King of Qin's battle field, saying: "The world is hustle and bustle, and the people are suffering from the warring state for hundreds of years. It is so painful! Li Yuan was aggressive and looked forward to the wise ruler. The king rose up while he was in a hurry, and the upper was in a state of heaven. The lower was in a state of harmony, and promoted righteous troops to defeat the world, ended hundreds of years of war, and returned the peace of the people. The way of solid division and unity, and the fortune was due to the fate of the king, and the king responded to the heavens! The king fought with righteousness in this battle. He defeated the tired Zhao with the power of Qin, just like the pressure of Mount Tai, and made less effort and righteous deeds. Liaozi here wished the king, congratulations to the king, and the accomplishment of great cause!"

Wei Liao's valuable people rarely show such excitement. This is really exciting. Not to mention that he locked the King of Qin with his unique vision and was determined to devote his talents to the King of Qin. Assist the King of Qin to unify the world. When the great cause is about to be realized and his wish is about to be fulfilled, can he not be excited?

Han Fei and the others stood up together, bowed to the King of Qin, and said, "Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the King!"

The great cause of unification has always been the goal pursued by the King of Qin. Zhao Poze's momentum of returning to the world is unstoppable. The King of Qin was also very excited. He held tears in his eyes and bowed deeply to Zhou Chong and others, saying, "Ying Zheng is not sensitive and cannot stop the war in the world. You have to support you to achieve today's situation. Please receive a gift from Ying Zheng!"

His actions were beyond anyone's surprise. Even the resourceful and decisive Wei Liao did not expect that the King of Qin was so humble. The tears in his eyes rolled around and said, "Your Majesty!" He could no longer say the words afterwards.

Anyone would be so happy that he would forget his true meaning, say something big, and be humble. It is so rare that he would call himself a name like the King of Qin.

Zhou Chong and the others were moved by the actions of the King of Qin. They called him the King, and they could no longer speak.

The King of Qin looked at Han Fei and said, "Han Fei, what else do you think I have to do with it?"

Han Fei stuttered: "The king is wise, Han Fei thinks there is no mistake in the king. Han Fei should do his best to formulate the new Qin law so that it can be implemented in the world."

"Okay! The law of the Qin Dynasty is to be carried out in the world. The reason why the six countries are weak is that the laws are improper, full of loopholes, and difficult to enforce is a very important reason." The King of Qin agreed with Han Fei's words and said, "Mr. Zhou, give me some advice on the mistakes."

Zhou Chong admired the performance of the King of Qin from his heart and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong dare not! Zhou Chong thought there were a few things that he had to ask the King Majesty to consider."

The King of Qin was very interested and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhou, what are the things?"

Zhou Chong bowed a little and said, "Return to the king, Zhou Chong thought that this battle would be won, Zhao would be destroyed, Wei, Qi and Yan would not exist, and the Qin Dynasty would fall into the four countries, with a sudden wide territory and a sudden increase in population. If it cannot be managed well, it would cause a disaster. Zhou Chong dared to ask the king to select virtuous officials to use for the land of the four countries; allocate money and food to safeguard refugees, abolish the harsh government of the four countries, and implement the benevolent government of Qin. King, Zhou Chong thought that the four countries would be gone, and only Chu would be left. Although Chu was big, it would not be destroyed.

It is difficult, the overall situation of the world has been determined, and the laws of the Qin Dynasty are too fierce. Zhou Chong thought that this was a fierce policy in the fierce politics, which was effective in the event of endless wars among the countries. Shang Yang's reforms were made with minor punishments and severe punishments, and the law was not the crime. During the war, the suffering of the world was the war, not the law. Once the four countries were destroyed, the world was determined, and the people should be returned to peace. If they did not abandon the fierce politics and impose benevolent policies, the law was the crime, then the suffering of the people was the law of Qin! Zhou Chong's crazy and perverse words, please ask the king to observe clearly.

The reason why Qin State perished in a short period of time has a lot to do with its law. Shang Yang's reforms implemented heavy rewards and heavy punishments, and minor punishments, which would not be a problem in war years. As Zhou Chong said, the most painful thing for the people is to fight, and they don't care much about the severity of the law. Once in peacetime, if the words of the law are not revised, then the problem will arise, and the people will suddenly realize that Qin's law is so inconvenient.

Later generations did not understand the changes in this. When commenting on the gains and losses of the Qin Dynasty, they directly accused the Qin law of being too harsh and violent, but did not say why the same law was applicable to the war years but not to the peace period. It is precisely based on this point that Jia Yi accused Qin Shihuang of not "changing politics according to the times", which is a pertinent comment. The times have changed, and governance should be changed.
