Chapter 90: The Death of the State of Qin

Since Confucius, Confucianism has always hoped that the king would accept the Confucian idea and govern the country in a Zhou manner. Confucius rushed around for this, Mencius lobbied for this, Xunzi's Qi, Chu, Zhao, and Qin, and what they did was also to persuade the king and Zhou Li to govern the country.

Zhou rites are a summary of the political system and behavior of the Zhou-style aristocracy, although the Chu people are only half-Zhou, but the nobles and the nobles have the same position, and the nobles and the nobles have the same way of behavior. King Zhao of Chu was about to die of illness, but he did not want to suffer from Ling Yin and Sima, because they were the sons and daughters of Chu; He was also reluctant to sacrifice to the river god to cure the disease, because the Yellow River was not a river flowing through the Chu State. When Confucius heard this, he said: 'King Chu Zhao knows the great way, and he will not lose the country, it is appropriate!' ’

Confucius's so-called 'knowing the avenue' means that King Chu Zhao would rather die than exceed the duty of a king, and would rather die than abide by the etiquette of the nobility, which may be more appropriate to describe as 'pedantic'. The death of King Chu Zhao is no different from the death of Zilu who 'the death of a gentleman is inevitable', all because they are too pedantic and too inflexible.

There was a spiritual resonance between Confucianism and the state of Chu, which had always regarded the state of Chu as their reliable ally. At the end of the Warring States period, the world will be one, and Confucianism sincerely hopes that the state of Chu can be on behalf of the Zhou people. Unfortunately, both physically and spiritually, this hope is completely bankrupt today. However, this is only the bankruptcy of Lu Ru's hope, and Confucianism still has a branch of Qi Ru.

As the head of Qi Ru, Chun Yuyue, who sacrificed wine from the Jixia Society, entered Qin was a major event, which meant that Qi Ru had recognized the reality and was determined to lose the city to Qin. Although this is also to promote the Zhou rites, the Qin State has always been regarded as a mortal enemy by Lu Ru, and Chun Yuyue's behavior of defecting to the enemy makes Lu Ru despise from the bottom of his heart.

In December of the twenty-first year of the reign of King Qin, in the eastern suburbs of Xianyang, unlike Qi's envoy Tian and his entry into Qin, Chun Yuyue's entry into Qin was quite powerful. To the suburbs of Xianyang, Zhao Zheng did not go out to welcome the suburbs, and the right prime minister Wang Juan and a cadre of ministers welcomed out of the suburbs early. Everyone waited until the corner, and the car of Chun Yuyue and others hurriedly appeared on the wide Qin road, and behind the car were followed by some soldiers with wide sleeves and thin belts, and they entered Qin with their husbands.

"Prime Minister of Great Qin, Mr. Zhu is also welcomed!" As the carriage and horses drew nearer, a guest hurried forward and shouted to the moving carriage and horse.

Behind the car of the "Prime Minister of Great Qin......", the scholars saw the flag fluttering in the north wind very early, but they didn't know who greeted them, and they were all taken aback when they heard that it was the prime minister of Qin who greeted them.

"Get out of the car." Linzi is more than 2,000 miles away from Xianyang, and Chun Yu Yue entered Qin, Qi and Qin provided the greatest convenience - his entry into Qin was not only as simple as lobbying the king of Qin to perform a weekly ceremony, but also carried the expectations of the Qi government and the opposition - more than 30 days of travel also made him tired.

"Sacrificial wine, it's not appropriate to get off at this time." Uncle and grandson He, who could take the car, did not take the car, but served beside Chun Yuyue's car, and when he saw that he wanted to get out of the car now, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Zitong thinks it's not appropriate?" A little puzzlement appeared on Chun Yuyue's tired face.

"Sacrificial wine should know how to buy pearls and return to the saying, although the beauty of the pearl abandoned, but the pearl is expensive. If the sacrificial wine is not arrogant and gets off the car without seeing the prime minister of Qin, how will the Qin people know that my doctor has the talent to govern the country? The carriage was still advancing, Uncle He explained slowly.

An Pingjun was defeated last year, and Linzi has become the front line. Originally, everyone thought that the Chu State could dominate the world, but now it seems that the only one who can dominate the world is the Qin State. Since the State of Qi asked for peace with the State of Qin, in order to keep the society, it urged Chun Yuyue and others to enter Qin, which was the icing on the cake for Qin's unification of the world - the standards for treating bad people and treating good people are different, and they can be angry with good people, and if necessary, they will be beaten and scolded, and they should be gentle and respectful to bad people.

"Wang Juan was ordered by the widow to welcome the sacrificial wine in the suburbs. Sacrificing wine and traveling with the wise men, how is it safe? Under the banner of the turtle and snake, Wang Juan shouted to Chun Yuyue's carriage.

At this time, Chun Yuyue got off the car with the support of his uncle and grandson He and all the scholars. Chun Yuyue got out of the car, and the rest of the doctors followed him, and everyone followed him to salute Wang Juan. Chun Yuyue said: "The bad people are very lucky, along the way, the Qin country is respectful, and everyone is safe." Here, I would like to thank the Prime Minister and the King. ”

Chun Yuyue bowed again after speaking, and the doctor behind him followed him to thank him deeply. Although the shouts of hundreds of people were not brave, they were quite neat, and Wang Juan couldn't help but nod when he saw it. Originally, he was worried that Chun Yuyue and these Qi State doctors were all weak, but now when he saw them, he only felt that they were no different from the military, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

"After a tiring journey, please sacrifice wine and the doctors to rest in the post house first, and see the king again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Wang Juan said.

"The cheater and the doctor are not ......" entered Qin in order to meet the king of Qin, Chun Yuyue was very worried that Wang Juan's words "see you tomorrow and tomorrow" were just words, so he wanted to meet today, and the uncle and grandson He on his side hurriedly interjected, "The prime minister has disposed of it, and the sacrificial wine and the doctors will enter the post house first, waiting for the king to summon him." ”

"Good." Wang Juan deliberately glanced at his uncle and grandson. His arrangement is to meet Zhao Zheng tomorrow and tomorrow, and it is impossible to meet today, and today the king is summoning Yang Chun, the younger brother of Yang Wenjun from Jing Guo.

"When few people heard of it, Yang Wenjun rebelled against King Jing and died, but you attacked Yang Wenjun's lord?" In the Qutai Palace, Yang Wenjun Yang Chun stood respectfully, and Zhao Zheng was very surprised that he was still alive. I remember that he and Shoulingjun made Qin together, Shoulingjun was later killed by King Jing, and with the identity and behavior of Yang Chun, King Jing did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Yang Chun is the nephew of Mi Thorn, that is, Zhao Zheng's cousin. Yang Wenjun and Songyang Jun are both pro-Qin, and when they see their cousins and uncles, they ask about the current situation in Chu State, which is Zhao Zheng's original intention. To his question, Yang Chun replied respectfully: "The king, the minister has not rebelled against the widow, and the widow does not sin against the minister." Today, the Chu State is hereditary, and the ministers have no children, so the ministers are knights, and the Shouling monarch also attacks the lord. ”

Yang Chun's answer was detailed, and Zhao Zheng still couldn't believe it, "Why did King Jing ......?"

"The widow said, we are not his enemy." Yang Chun knew Zhao Zheng's doubts and explained.

"The widow is the enemy of King Jing, so Huairou appeases you and others?" Zhao Zheng somewhat understood.

"Definitely." Yang Chun explained again, "The widow once said that the king is not the enemy of the widow. ”

"Widows are not ...... The enemy of King Jing? Zhao Zheng's incredulous expression, he even suspected that this was a lie from Yang Chun. But Yang Chun had no hypocrisy on his face, and besides, he had left Chu and entered Qin, so there was no need to say good things for King Jing, and he didn't come to persuade himself not to die in Chu.

"Yes, yes." Yang Chun didn't care about Zhao Zheng's suspicion and continued. "The enemy of the widow is the officials who practice the laws of Qin. The widow and the king are both kings, and the kingdoms compete for hegemony, but does the king put the king of another country to death? Otherwise, this is unknown.

Heaven established the Qin State, with the king as the king of Qin, and killed the king, this is unknown; Tianli Chu State, with the widow as the king of Chu, killing the widow is unknown. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the soldiers were all nobles and countrymen, and there were few war dead. Why? It is unknown to kill nobles, and nobles do not kill nobles. Sima Fa Youyun: 'A gentleman is not seriously injured, and he is not a fowl', which is the principle. When entering the Warring States, the countries fought for land instead of hegemony, destroyed the country and slaughtered the city, killed the people, and the nobles and the common people killed the nobles.

The king is the king of a country, and the widow is also the king of a country, and the enemy of the widow is not the king, but the enemy of the widow is the political and military system that makes the nobles kill the nobles and the common people kill the nobles. ”

At this time, Zhao Zheng had some enlightenment, and he said: "The enemy of King Jing is the system of my Great Qin and the ......law of Great Qin."

"Neither nor not." Yang Chun nodded and then shook his head. "Who put the Qin system and Qin law? Kanto Sanjin Traveler also. Who did the Qin system? An official from a common people's background. Therefore, the widow said that the battle between Qin and Chu was a battle between the nobles and the common people, and the battle between the non-widows and the king of Qin.

Let me ask, in the past, did the Chu army enter Xianyang and burn the Qin State Sheji? Is it possible to burn the palace room of the Qin Kingdom? He is the world of the great Qin for a day, is it the world of the king and the nobles of the Qin State, or the world of the common people of the Qin State? ”

"Great Qin is a widow, and a widow is a great Qin, how can you say that nobles and commoners? The nobles and the common people are all the courtiers of the widows. Zhao Zheng was very suspicious, and he heard a hint of lobbying in Yang Chun's words, and he was a little displeased.

Yang Chun felt Zhao Zheng's displeasure, he was not afraid, and after a pause, he said with a straight face: "When the minister hears it, he is humble and does not seek respect, and he is not close to him." The minister should not have admonished him, but the king is the grandson of his aunt, so the minister should admonish him.

The king, the honor of the nobles, is the noble; The officials and generals will die, and the people will also be under the system of the Qin State. There are ten days in the heavens, and there are ten classes in man. The nobles and common people have not been in harmony since ancient times, so although there are few Ding Zhuang in the Chu State, they never recruit the pawns of Lu Zuo; No matter how many soldiers there are, there will be no divisions and brigades led by nobles. The king is now handsome and the common people to kill nobles and destroy all countries, and this is in danger! ...... time"

Yang Chun's words were not intense, but Zhao Zheng seemed to have been hit on the head, and the whole person almost fainted, and when the strong dizziness passed, he said angrily: "Nonsense! You nonsense! You talk nonsense!! Take... Take it, take this person......"

After Jing Ke, Zhao Zheng had never screamed so loudly to take down someone, and the soldiers under the rank rushed up to the Ming Hall like a tide when they heard the sound, and the copper stalks were all aimed at the yang chun who was still a little surprised and stood alone.

Yang Chun is the Chu people, the Chu people do not practice the Qin system, but are getting farther and farther away from the Qin system, so they can clearly see the real crisis of the Qin State. Under the Qin State, it was not the nobles who relied on it, but the endless common people.

It's not that the world can't be unified, it's not that the common people can't unify the world, the problem is that a nobleman leads a group of common people to eliminate the nobles of the nations, that is, all his own kind, so as to dominate the world. In the words of later generations, this is a capitalist who leads the broad masses of the proletariat to eliminate all his own kind, and finally unify the whole world.

If this is not called self-defeat, then what is self-defeating?

Zhao Zheng was also aware of this before, he was the king of Great Qin, but many times he felt that he was not the real master of this country. It is other people who are unscrupulous and greedy who control the country. Due to his own environment and experience, he couldn't see this as clearly as Yang Chun, so Yang Chun's words shocked him, and then there was a panic from the bone marrow.

Zhao Zheng panicked, and when the armor soldiers poured in, Yang Chun's reaction was first surprised, and then he smiled bitterly, and he sighed: "The king can't be taught, and it's difficult to extricate himself from teaching." I have seen the death of the Qin state. ”
