Chapter 5
"General Meng, how does my wine taste?"

On a table, there are three hot dishes and one cold dish, and two jars of wine. Ying Chengxue and Meng Tian sit facing each other and drink together.

Meng Tian's face was exposed to the sun a lot due to his military service all year round, and his face was dark yellow with dark spots.

But now, his face has only one color, red!
Shiny red, full of red light!
"Tian Wei leads troops, so he cannot be called a general."

The ruling officials of the Qin State did not have generals, and only when they went out to fight and led troops in battle, they would temporarily be called generals, generals and other titles.

When not fighting outside, in principle, the title of general cannot be used.

This is also part of the Qin Law's regulations. The Qin Law penetrates into every aspect of the Qin State and covers everything.

Of course, Meng Tian would not be so cautious if he replaced Ying Chengxi with Meng Tian's familiar friend.

"Tian has never drank such a strong wine in his life. Zhao Guo's Hu wine is famous for being strong, but it is far inferior to Chang'an Lord's wine."

In fact, although Hujiu of the State of Zhao is famous for being strong, those who are addicted to alcohol recognize it. If it is said that Hujiu is strong, the wine of the king of Chu is recognized as the leader.

When Ying Chengyu heard that Meng Tian didn't mention Chu King's wine, but compared with Zhao Guohu wine, he smiled more intensely.

He would not think that Meng Tian, ​​who had conquered Chu State, had never tasted the wine of Chu State.

"Hahahaha, as long as you like it, come here, let's go to two more forums!"

"No!"

Meng Tian discouraged.

He thought he was never drunk after a thousand cups, but this time, he had doubts about himself.

There is no way, he is a little confused now, and he is sure that he will be drunk if he drinks it again, this wine is too strong!Stronger than King Chu's wine!

Alcohol was banned among the people of the state of Qin. Although there was alcohol in Qin Chen's mansion, the taste was not good and the strength was not high, which was far behind that of other countries.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that the state of Qin did not have a good wine-making method and did not want to study it.

In the state of Qin, everything is responsible for two things, farming and fighting.

Farming provides food to fight wars, and wars obtain land for farming, which forms a simple closed loop.

Not only does wine making have no positive effect on farming and war, but it has a negative effect, because wine is brewed from grain.

Qin Guo believed that it was a great waste to use grain to make wine.

Therefore, not only the folks banned alcohol, but the royal family did not advocate drinking, and Ying Zheng himself did not advocate drinking.

From top to bottom, the state of Qin has the same attitude towards wine, so naturally no one will study wine making.

No one studies wine making, so the quality of Qin wine cannot be improved.

In a nutshell—anything that does not have a positive impact on farming and warfare cannot develop in Qin.

"Mr. Chang'an, if you drink any more, Tian will be drunk."

Ying Chengxue picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, Meng Tian looked slightly surprised.

The two have been drinking each other, you have a bottle and I have a bottle, Ying Chengxun drinks no less than Meng Tian.

But now Meng Tian's face is as red as Guan Gong of the later Three Kingdoms.

However, Ying Chengxuan's face was still as usual, and he was not drunk, as if the two of them had not drunk the same wine.

Meng Tian unconsciously stroked the wine bottle in his hand with his fingers.

This guy has a good capacity for alcohol, yes, the royal family has enough wine, he is ignorant, and he has been drinking for fun since he was a child.After years of training, it is only right that I drink more than I do.

Fortunately, the former king took His Majesty back from the state of Zhao. Otherwise, the state of Qin would fall into the hands of this disgrace, let alone rule the world. It is unknown whether there is still a state of Qin in the world.

The last king of Qin was named Ying Yiren, and later changed to Ying Zi Chu, known as King Zhuangxiang of Qin in history.King Zhuangxiang of Qin has only two sons, Yingzheng and Yingchengyu.

More than ten years ago, if King Zhuangxiang of Qin hadn't brought Yingzheng back from Zhao State, the one who would have taken over the throne from Qin State would be Ying Chengyu.

"Is this dish satisfactory?"

"I'm very satisfied, it's not much better than what His Majesty's banquet has for you."

Here Meng Tian lied, but fortunately his face was very rosy, but it was not obvious from his expression.

The taste of the dishes in the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion is far better than the taste of the dishes in the palace, otherwise Ying Fusu would not come here again and again for dinner.

"Okay, you are about the same age as my imperial brother, so I will call you Brother Meng. Now that you have eaten the food and drunk the wine, Brother Meng, it's time to tell me about Confucianism."

Sure enough, this Zhuzi is very concerned about the eldest son, Meng Tian secretly thought.

Meng Tian looked down on Ying Chengxu, but still stayed to eat and drink, his speech was obviously different from when he first came here, for the sake of Ying Fusu.

Otherwise, even if he knew in advance that the Chang'an Lord's Mansion wine is so delicious and the food is so delicious, he would not stay.

To be precise, he will not stay.He would think it a shame to drink with Ying Chengxun who is so greedy for pleasure and indulging in his appetite.

"Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples, how can Tian deserve to be side by side with His Majesty, let Chang'an Lord speak your brother, and Chang'an Lord can call Tian by his name."

Ying Chengxi nodded.

He knew that it was because Meng Tian didn't want to have anything to do with him, he didn't even want to call him, and he was alienating him, but he didn't care.

So what?
He also just wanted to learn about his elder nephew's situation through Meng Tian.

The purpose of the two people is the same, so this can be regarded as a two-way rush.

"The teacher of the eldest son, surnamed Chunyu, surnamed Yue, is from the state of Qi. He used to be a doctor of the state of Qi, and now he is a servant of our country. He is a Confucian scholar and has great influence in Confucianism. The words and deeds of the eldest son are deeply influenced by Chunyu Yue. Now the court is contradicting your majesty. , must be inseparable from Chunyu Yue!"

Ying Chengxuan took a sip of wine, smashed it, smashed it.

"Is Confucianism very influential in Qin?"

According to Ying Chengxun's understanding, Qin State has always been ruled by the Legalists.

Confucianism, an extremely prominent sect in later generations, has always been unpopular in Qin State.

Meng Tian's hands trembled, and he gritted his teeth.

If it wasn't for winning and helping Su, he would have left the meeting in anger.

The shame of this ignorance!

Even the power of the court is not very clear!

I don't know how the two prime ministers could not persuade him, but how this Zhu Zi persuaded His Majesty to suspend the eldest son from leaving the capital.

Maybe His Majesty figured it out by himself, this post is just an introduction, and I'm wasting my time here!

Meng Tian thought so, but he didn't dare to bet whether Ying Zheng had figured it out on his own, so he could only continue to explain: "The world is unified, Your Majesty recruits talents from all over the world, and all schools of thought can enter the Qin Dynasty as officials. Confucianism is the most prominent school in the world. , the number of disciples is the largest, and now the number of Confucian students in the court has surpassed that of Fa students."

Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has always been the Holy Land of Legalists.

It is also the only country in the world that is governed purely by legalism, and there are many law students in the world.

Once the number of people gathering reaches a certain level, they will seek the right to speak, not to mention the situation where a hundred schools of thought contend.

Putting the right to speak in the court of Qin State is called political appeal.

"I understand."

Ying Chengxi nodded.

"I'll take care of this."

If others explain this clearly, Meng Tian will believe it.But Ying Chengxi, Meng Tian was silent.

understand?

What do you unserstand?

Do you really understand?
What I said seems to be not so clear.

Seeing that Meng Tian didn't respond, Ying Chengxi said: "Confucianism advocates governing the country with propriety, convincing people with virtue, and restoring Zhou etiquette. The elder nephew has been used and has become the mouthpiece of Confucianism. I will explain it to the emperor at the court meeting tomorrow."

Meng Tian said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Chang'an."

Does this guy really understand?

Meng Tian finds it unbelievable that what is common to other people is done to Ying Chengxu.

In the eyes of the people of Qin, Ying Chengyu was really too bad.

The servants sent Meng Tian away, and Ying Chengxun poured himself a drink.The drunkard who stopped Meng Tian just now went in without knocking on the door, and sat where Meng Tian was sitting.

"This Meng Tian is a villain who is condescending before and respectful at the end! Qin's leading generals are really inferior to each other."

 Sign up tomorrow!
  If you want to invest, hurry up!
