Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 75 It's not my intention to become an official! (for collection)

The rustling wind was blowing.

Bring coolness to the surrounding.

Ji Heng didn't pay attention to the regret that Ying Zheng said.

In fact, they all knew very well that this was just a casual remark, even if Ji Heng had seen it at that time, Shi Huang would not have adopted his idea.

After being so silent for about meal time, Ying Zheng sighed softly and said, "Do you think Daqin will fail?"

Ji Heng pondered for a moment, then resolutely said: "Yes!"

Ying Zheng was silent.

He stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, stared at Ji Heng silently for a moment, and didn't ask any further questions.

Ji Heng said calmly:

"Sometimes it is not necessarily correct to be concerned with the country. Sometimes differences of opinion may be more beneficial to the country."

"You have shouldered the entire country's political affairs all these years."

"But there is no one behind you."

"The whole world is an enemy!"

"It's impossible for you to win in such a situation where no one is watching."

"For the sake of the so-called longevity of merit, completely ignoring the existence of other people, or even abandoning them, is to drink poison to quench thirst."

"The empire you created is made up of people, and it needs to be governed by people in the end. It's not what Hu Hai thought. If you issue an edict, it will be followed faithfully."

"Between heaven and earth, nothing is more precious than people."

"The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is the foundation of the state."

"A law that cannot be enforced only weakens the authority of the law."

"And laws are an extension of power. Laws that cannot be enforced will in turn weaken your own power."

"From ancient times to the present, countless sages have demonstrated that it is always difficult to rule the world. Many things can't be changed too much, but nothing can be changed. I just think about hello, me, and everyone, and do some so-called things that benefit others and myself. In the end, In fact, everyone will not be well off, let alone benefit the world."

"Just like melons and fruits, if you cut them with a knife, you can still see the effect."

"If you don't even move the knife, in a short period of time, the surface is indeed intact, but the inside will often slowly rot, and this is often the most deadly, because once the rot reaches the surface, it means that the inside and outside are already rotten. There is no possibility of eating it."

"I can only choose another melon and fruit."

"In your eyes, Confucianism is a factor that hinders the change of the world, and the same is true of Legalism."

"So Confucianism and Legalism are only regarded as tools by you."

"I'm actually not qualified to comment."

"There is no reason in the affairs of the world, let alone right and wrong. In the end, only the results are seen."

"In terms of results, what Daqin has done in these years has made great contributions to the world, and has greatly accelerated the pace of world integration."

"However, Daqin's policy is like evaluating the Great Wall for future generations. The Great Wall is very majestic, but how many people want to be craftsmen who repair the Great Wall?"

"For the present age, Daqin is too bitter!"

Ji Heng sighed lightly.

His eyes were full of regret and helplessness.

China has always been a pragmatic country, so following the ancestral system is easier for the world to accept, and following the ancestral system to a certain extent will lead to a gradual degeneration of thinking, and eventually make the world more and more conservative If we want to reform and change in the future, only by carrying out "big changes", this kind of revolution-like existence, can we quickly achieve social progress.

But the process is bound to be extremely painful.

Ying Zheng was speechless for a long time, and finally said lightly: "Maybe."

"Great Qin's common affairs were created in the first place, and the Siyi invaded Huaxia. If I don't change the system, future generations will not be able to; if I don't go out to fight, the world will be uneasy; if I don't unite the Chinese tribes, China will not be peaceful; for this, I have to work hard. If the future generations are like What I have done... will probably be called the deeds of a tyrant."

Ji Heng sighed and said:

"I think your approach to the world is wrong."

"Some things can't be done overnight. If you do it resolutely when you know it can't be done, you will only end up complaining. Why don't you want to admit it, keep breaking down difficult things, and use time to achieve them step by step?"

"One generation does what one generation does."

"It's too late."

"I was fortunate enough to hear this saying: 'Unity survives through struggle, unity perishes through compromise', Daqin is talking about struggle now, but it does not unite forces at all, and it will eventually become the enemy of the world. If we give up on achieving it overnight, implement it step by step, and choose to unite the majority, and take it step by step, we may not be able to change the world.”

After listening to what Ji Heng said, Ying Zheng wandered around in the open space and pondered, then turned around and said calmly: "This is the official and the people you mentioned?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "It's not about the relationship between the government and the people, but about the current situation."

"The world has been reformed from top to bottom since ancient times. Daqin has reached its peak at this time. Now the world is tired. In the past, a hundred schools of thought contended for the wisdom of the people at the bottom. The princes competed for hegemony. The aristocrats of the upper families kept changing. , There are also those who are completely obliterated."

"Ants dare to look up at the sky, let alone people?"

"And in today's world, the people at the bottom have the qualifications to spy on the sky."

"If the current situation in Daqin does not make any changes, when this top-down reform fails, the world may start bottom-up."

"At that time, the world may be raised by ordinary people, and there will be one leader among the heroes. Since the king rises from the commoner, the ministers will probably be desperate and scoundrels. They will make meritorious deeds to win the general. This is the position of luck."

"The chaos in the world begins from here!"

"If Daqin makes some changes, it might not be able to change this situation."

"In your eyes, is there room for Daqin to change?" Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng indifferently.

Ji Heng said seriously: "Yes."

"Oh?" There was a strange look in Ying Zheng's eyes, as if he hadn't expected Ji Heng's answer, he said in a deep voice, "Da Qin can't turn back now."

"You can't turn back! Even stop!"

Ji Heng nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I know this myself."

"The so-called gentleman sees an opportunity, and a wise man knows his fate."

"In today's world, Daqin is indeed in dire straits, but there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Seek unity through struggle, use small to make big, fight without breaking, step by step to consolidate the advantages of Guanzhong, and then use this to win over the world. It may not be impossible to break and then stand."

Ying Zheng remained silent, as quiet as a pool of autumn water.

He looked at Ji Heng coldly, and said coldly and slowly: "Sir, can you correct the national policy?"

Ji Heng said:
"The way of herdsmen in the world is to be safe."

"As long as Da Qin is no longer eager for success, he may not be able to find a way out of the situation in the silence."

Ying Zheng looked away, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

"can."

"Everything is up to you."

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "I won't be an official."

"If it was earlier, I did have the intention to become an official, but now I won't."

"It's not necessarily better to be an official than to avoid the world."

"It is a blessing in my life to be able to keep my own breeze and bright moon for the rest of my life."

"Joining the Longitude and Latitude of WTO."

"It's not what I want after all."
