"I wandered to the east and did not return. I'm from the East, and there's no rain. I am going back, and my heart is sad ......"

The ravines of the loess, Gongzi Fu Su standing on the plateau, the waist ring ding, he looked at the mountain pass stretched for nearly ten miles, shoulders and hands, the face of the depressed Kanto people, couldn't help but read out this poem "Feng Feng. Higashiyama" comes.

"I heard that Qi County is the South Pig, and the North County is the North Pig, all of which are the homeland of Zhou, and Zhou Gongdan led the Westerners to the east, and the Westerners wandered in the East Mountain, nostalgic for the West Soil. Nowadays, the easterners and the westerners are also the same as the Zhou army in those years, the army is hard, sleeping in the open air, sleeping on the side of the car, just like the mulberry insects exposed to the wild in April. ”

Since childhood, he has experienced that his mother was neglected and died, his mother's Chu relatives were suppressed and expelled, and his uncle Changpingjun even turned his back on the Qin State and finally died tragically, which made Fusu form a character that is easy to be compassionate and compassionate.

This time, as a prisoner, he escorted 15,000 people into the Northland, and along the way, Fusu could be regarded as seeing the real suffering of servants. Listening to the complaints in different dialects and watching the pain, Fusu truly felt the troubles that this war had brought them.

In February, when the farming season was largely over, the people were summoned from the counties, and in March they gathered in Guanzhong, and in April they were to arrive at the borderlands. Although Fusu couldn't help but admonish his father, saying that this was too urgent, in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, there was only the upcoming war, only the vast territory waiting to be explored, but he didn't care about the life or death of the people, it was only a necessary loss.

Fusu shook his head secretly, he didn't think that human life could be simply treated as a consumable like arrows and livestock.

Seeing that the people were hurrying against the sun all day long, many people were unaccustomed to the water and soil, riddled with diseases, and before they reached Xiaoguan, they died at the rate of several people every day. Fusu is inevitably worried, and after this battle, just the people, I am afraid that there will be 12 out of 10, and they will never be able to return to the East, right?

After Fusu sighed, someone on the side immediately responded: "Childe can understand the meaning of recruiting people in the poem, and he is really a benevolent gentleman." ”

But he was a middle-aged man in a wide robe and big sleeves, with a sword at his waist, and although he was so hot that he was covered with sweat, the placket was still closed.

His name is Chun Yuyue, and he is a doctor and Confucian student who Gongzi Fusu brought with him for consultation.

On the other side, there was also a person who bowed his head and said: "Zi Mozi also said that with his cultivation of the Dao, the food will be cut off, and the people will die, and there will be countless deaths." The restlessness of their dwellings, the occasional eating, the lack of fullness of their muscles, and the death of diseases in the way of the people are innumerable. The reason why this ink person is not attacking is also. ”

However, it was Tang Duo, an ink master who had a relationship with Heifu in Yangcheng County many years ago, and he also helped Heifu improve his papermaking skills three years ago, and now he has also become a guest of Fusu.

At this time, there was a commotion below, and another man fainted on the road due to fatigue, and this was the tenth person on the road today.

But Qin Yi didn't want to stop, and ordered the onlookers to carry him to the side of the road, splash some water, and continue to walk if he could wake up.

Fusu couldn't stand it anymore, he got off the high hill and gave an order to the Qin officials and soldiers who were arrogant and fierce and urged the people to march:

"Stop, carry the fainted person to a cool place, and let Ben Gongzi's healer come to see it! The rest of the servants, rest on the spot! ”

"Childe think twice!"

After hearing the news, the lieutenant rushed to persuade: "This is the imperial expedition, and it is outside the border, and you must not stop because you are tired, and if you fall down, you will stop, and I am afraid that you will not be able to arrive on time......"

"I remember the law."

Gongzi Fusu said: "Lack of Fuxing, when the principal is punished, please let the sword and pen officer write down, on the third day of the first month of the twenty-ninth year, Fusu insists on going his own way, so that the people can rest, and the second class should be punished!" ”

So saying, he asked the attendant to fetch the money.

The sword and pen officer was very embarrassed, not remembering, not remembering, since the son of the prison army said so, the captain had no choice but to say:

"Childe, Your Majesty has an order, there will be a war in May, before that, if you can't escort the people to the border in time, even if you are a childe, you will not escape punishment, and I hope that Gongzi will not make it too difficult for the subordinates!"

Fusu also solemnly bowed to the captain: "Thank you captain, Fusu has his own plans, and he will definitely be able to arrive in Yiqu City before April 10, and arrive at the border in May, not a day is bad." ”

"The subordinates don't dare."

Looking at the determined gaze in Childe's eyes, the captain sighed and went to arrange for everyone to stop drinking water and rest.

The long snake stopped advancing, and when the people knew that it was Gongzi Kai'en, after arranging for someone to treat the fainting person, they couldn't help but praise everywhere, and said in the dialect of different places:

"Childe is wise!"

Seeing this, Chun Yuyue and Tang Duo, who were following Fusu, couldn't help but smile at each other, but then turned their faces away.

Their school is a sworn enemy who has been fighting for hundreds of years, but the strange thing is that the Confucian Chun Yuyue, Qin Mo and Tang Duo, these two people coincidentally chose to follow Fusu and came to the frontier with him......

The ink scholar has taken a fancy to the son Fusu since he was a child, simple and benevolent, and has always been strongly opposed to Qin Shi Huang's overhaul of the palace, and the trade is open to provoke, and Qin Mo, who was disappointed in the unification of Qin, failed to attack and love, seems to see hope in this virtuous son!

As for Chun Yuyue, he is a retro person, although Qin Shi Huang used Confucianism as a doctor, he did not use it more heavily, and he also scoffed at their retro confessions. Fusu is different, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Huayang since he was a child, studied poetry and books, and has a certain interest in Confucianism.

Seeing that the Legalist family was dominant in the Qin Dynasty, and in a short period of time, the emperor had no intention of changing his course, so the two simply stayed by the side of Gongzi Fusu, hoping to exert influence slowly......

The two of them had their own thoughts, and at this time, Fusu also returned to his car, and asked people to open the map to see how far it was from Yiju Township, Niyang County, which they would arrive at tonight.

"There are still twenty miles to go, and the Captain of the Northland is already waiting in this township......"

After all, he is the eldest son of the empire, and unlike the general prison army, Heifu has to lower his posture and wait at the gate of the Northland, but Fusu is kind-hearted and can't bear to urge the people to move quickly, and it is expected that the day before yesterday will be lived, but it has been delayed until now.

Fusu looked at the people who were sitting on the ground and were about to sleep, and then looked at the dark sky, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid I will be able to arrive tomorrow." ”

He asked Tang Duo again: "Mr. Tang, you said that you worked with Wei Junwei when you were in Chu, and Mr. Cheng, the ink man, is even more rebellious, what kind of person do you think, this Beidi Lieutenant is a person?" ”

Tang Duo thought for a moment and said, "The minister still remembers the situation when he met General Wei for the first time. At that time, my uncle Tang Fuzi took me and Cheng Shang to Yangcheng, and saw the place where Meng Sheng and 180 ink scholars died for righteousness in the past, and Cheng Shang and I had a dispute. ”

"I thought that Meng Sheng was doing the righteousness of the ink man, and thanks to this matter, the people of the world can trust the ink man. Cheng Shang said that this was just a personal friendship between Meng Sheng and Yangchengjun, because of this incident, the Mo family declined. ”

At that time, General Wei was only a small general, and after hearing this, he said that after being stationed in Yangcheng for two months, Meng Sheng's matter was the first time that he had heard that the local people had forgotten about the Mo people guarding the city here...... On the contrary, it is a little-known Yangcheng Yi Zai, two hundred years ago for the people to build a water canal, the people read its virtue, for the Yi Zai to build a shrine, every year to sacrifice endlessly. (See Chapter 172)

He asked us rhetorically, why can the people remember Xiaoyi Zai more than 200 years ago, but forget the Mo family giant more than 100 years ago?"

Don Duo still remembers what Hefu said with a smile.

He felt that it was not that Meng Sheng's righteousness was inferior to that Yi Zai, but because Meng Sheng's righteousness had not benefited the local Li people, even if more than 100 people died, shocked the Chu State, became famous all over the world, and made the princes strangled by it, but it would not leave too much impression on the local people, at most two or three generations, they would forget. On the contrary, it is the canal of Yi Zai, which has always been used by the people, as long as the canal is used for a day, no one will forget it. ”

"Ze is the people, it is a long-term righteousness, and the righteousness can be remembered by the people......"

Fu Su bowed: "It makes sense, when General Wei was at the end of his life, he spoke well, no wonder after coming to Guanzhong, he often made surprising words." ”

Chun Yuyue sneered: "Although it is not bad, but what this lieutenant general has done in recent years is diametrically opposed to what he said back then, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

Fusu asked, "How is it the opposite?" ”

Chun Yuyue said: "My impression of this person originated from the time when His Majesty ordered the ministers to discuss the division of feudal and county counties. ”

Like other Confucian scholars, Chun Yuyue was also a die-hard feudal theorist, who tried his best to restore feudalism in the Qin Dynasty and let the princes divide the towns and towns, but Qin Shi Huang decided to abolish the feudal counties, which disappointed him.

But compared with Fa and Molai, who also supported the county, he was even more disgusted with Heifu, who held the "parallel of the county and the state".

Why is that? Isn't the discussion of Weijun the mean recognized by Confucianism? ”

Fusu didn't understand what he meant, in his eyes, the parallel of the county and the country was a good compromise.

Chun Yuyue said: "Being a person can maneuver left and right in the world, exquisite in all directions, not violating the emperor's heart, not offending the ministers, not going to extremes, not being in the limelight, and the proposed proposal is compromised." In fact, this is not the mean, but the 'hometown wish' that Confucius said! “

"Wishers seem to be cautious, but in fact they are vulgar and filthy, hypocrites with no morals! It is precisely because he is such a person that he has repeatedly speculated about his intentions and encouraged His Majesty to open the border to the west. ”

The westward expansion was indeed Heifu's initiative, but the Confucian scholars in Shandong had no interest in the unfamiliar northwest, and they even felt that it was this national policy that delayed them from encouraging Qin Shi Huang to worship Mount Tai and incorporate it into the Confucian feudal system.

Chun Yuyue said mercilessly: "In my opinion, this general, I'm afraid that he has forgotten all the words of the day, how can what he do benefit the people?" It's just in the name of opening up territory for His Majesty, so that he can become an official and increase his wealth! I admit that he has some talents, but Confucius said, there are people today who are not faithful and generous, but who know more and more, such people, such as jackals, can not be close to them! Childe be careful! ”

Tang Duo's senior brother Cheng Shang had a good relationship with Heifu, and he had a good impression of Heifu, so he retorted:

"Mr. Chun Yu's words are wrong, when General Wei was Lang Wei, he suggested that the internal history repair mill and plant wheat to relieve the hunger of the people who moved to the eastern part of the country. When he was a young man, he supervised the making of paper, and hemp paper has become popular all over the world, not only official documents, but also a lot of convenience for private copying. Now he is a county lieutenant, and he raises sheep and spins cloth in the border areas, although it is now only used in the army, but sooner or later the clothes will be worn by the north, so that the people will not suffer from frost, is this not a great benefit to the people? ”

Chun Yuyue sneered: "Rong Di Yang Qiu, bad my summer clothes, how can it be a great benefit, but it is also a great harm!" ”

Tang Duo was angry, and their Mo family was a supporter of promoting woolen clothes, so he pointed at Chun Yuyue's nose and scolded: "Rotten Confucian! ”

Chun Yuyue waved his sleeves: "Foolish ink!" ”

Although the two worked together to help the Soviet Union and appreciated him as a benevolent person and a virtuous and hard-working man, they also had great differences on issues such as division and counties, and they quarreled with each other often when they did not agree with each other.

"Stay with the two gentlemen!"

Fusu stopped the daily life of the two, he looked into the distance, at the end of the road, a car with the banner of "Wei" was slowly approaching, and everywhere he went, the servants and soldiers stood up solemnly.

He said: "I'm afraid that General Wei can't wait for me, and he came in person......"

The two hurriedly shut up, Fu Su meticulously straightened his clothes, and saw that the car was getting closer and closer, and said secretly: "The ancients are cloudy, the husband's bow and arrows are harmonious, and then ask for it; A man will be faithful, and then he will seek his knowledge. ”

"The husband takes the art of people, observes his words and observes his deeds, the husband speaks so he expresses his Hun and expresses his feelings, and the person who can do it will be able to speak, so he first looks at his words and deeds, and the husband uses his words to see his deeds, although there are treacherous people, there is no way to escape his feelings."

"Whether the Captain of Beidi County is a righteous person with a great heart, or a traitorous villain with a rural will, I have a chance to find out when I go out of the prison army this time!"
