Chapter 72 Qin’s shortcomings and reforms!
In the bright moon world of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Bairen left Taiyi Mountain and went to Xianyang City, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

Relying on his status as the acting head of the Taoist Tianzong, Zhang Bairen easily entered the palace without any difficulty and met the First Emperor Ying Zheng and the Sword Master Gai Nie.

In the study, Ying Zheng, who has completed the great cause of unification, is holding a writing brush and reviewing the memorial.

Sword Master Genie stood behind him without any movement or expression.

Zhang Bairen entered the room, bowed his hands and said, "Tianzong Fuyaozi, I have met His Majesty the First Emperor!"

Ying Zheng raised his head, put down his brush, and then breathed out gently.

"Master, you're welcome. Please sit down!" Ying Zheng extended his hand slightly, motioning for Zhang Bairen to kneel down and sit beside him.

Although the world of the Qin Dynasty had been artistically processed, with silk stockings, high heels, corn, and martial arts, kneeling and sitting remained unchanged.

Of course, Zhang Bairen doesn't like to sit on his knees because he is a Taoist and likes to sit cross-legged.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat!" Zhang Bairen was not polite and sat down on the soft cushion next to him coolly.

"Master, why did you go out of the mountain and come to the palace this time?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, Pindao went out to the mountains this time, firstly for training, secondly for the Qin Dynasty, and thirdly for the common people in the world." Zhang Bairen replied.

Zhang Bairen's answer made Sword Master Gai Nie cast a curious look.

"Could it be that after the empire unifies the world, even the Taoist Tianzong, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, is preparing to enter the world?" Gai Nie thought to himself.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Bairen, and asked very seriously: "Master, please clarify, how will you serve Daqin and the common people in the world."

"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that you are the emperor of the ages.

However, can Da Qin, which ended the war, really continue?

Has Your Majesty ever thought about this? ? "Zhang Bairen asked.

At this time, Ying Zheng's brows wrinkled slightly.

What do you mean by this! ?

Do you want to curse me, Da Qin, so that I will not be able to survive forever? ?
Even Gai Nie showed a surprised expression.

How brave this Taoist priest was to dare to say such things in front of the First Emperor!
"Could it be that in the eyes of the master, our Great Qin Empire cannot last forever!?" Ying Zheng's tone became extremely cold.

The majestic gaze, domineering temperament, and tone of voice that hinted at anger made the atmosphere in the room dangerous.

Gai Nie clenched the scabbard of his sword and prepared for battle. If things went wrong, he would take action immediately.

In this way, we can ensure that both parties are safe.

Zhang Bairen's tone did not change, but he asked: "Your Majesty, I am here on behalf of Tianzong, so naturally I don't want to cause trouble.

However, your Majesty, please ask yourself, can the Qin Dynasty, which unified the six countries, win the hearts and minds of the other six countries?
And whether the system of Da Qin is suitable for governing the current Seven Kingdoms? ? "

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Master, what do you mean, is Legalism unable to govern the world!?

Or are you saying that only you Taoists can govern the world today? "

Zhang Bairen shook his head slightly, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I did not mean this.

The reason why I say these words is not for Taoism, but for the Qin Empire and the common people of this world! "

Ying Zheng did not answer, but looked at Zhang Bairen, trying to get a reasonable explanation.

“Before the empire unified the world, it emerged from Shang Yang’s reform.

However, the disadvantages are slowly revealed.

Therefore, since Qin Xiaogong, successive Qin kings have tried to make up for it.

King Huiwen appointed Gan Mao and Chuilizi to carry out reforms in the Qin State. In the second year of his rule, he abolished the all-farm and all-war reform of Shang Yang's reform, restarted industry and commerce, and issued currency.

King Zhaoxiang introduced the pardon system, and Qin began to pardon criminals.

Qin's laws are always changing and making progress.

Even before His Majesty ascended the throne, Lu Buwei implemented reforms and abolished the long-standing "decapitation and nobility system" to make Qin continue to be strong.

After His Majesty ascended the throne and before unifying the six countries, he further improved the Legalist system from Han Fei's works, and brought his own will and rights to the highest peak in history.

This allowed Your Majesty to unify the six kingdoms and pacify the world.However, it also put the Great Qin Empire in danger! "

Zhang Bairen's answer, from ancient times to the present, from the history of Qin to the present of the empire, stood on the long river of history and analyzed the growth process of Qin.

This shocked Ying Zheng.

Even Gai Nie didn't expect so much.

It turns out that the reason why Great Qin was able to unify the six countries was because Qin's laws were constantly changing, perfecting, and adapting to new eras and new periods!
Ying Zheng's laws are suitable for unifying the world, but are not suitable for governing the world.

Because, the entire world, the entire empire, everything is tied to one person!
And this person is Ying Zheng!
Han Fei's law is the royal law that brings the monarch's power to its highest peak.

And power is also an invisible poison.

The power of the Qin State, and the power of the entire world, are all in the hands of one person. What a terrifying height this will be.

Throughout the ages, are there really few kings who have been blinded by power?
And Ying Zheng, who has such power, can't make any mistakes.

However, he is still the core of the empire. Once there is a problem in the core, the huge empire will fall apart.

For example, Li Si is the prime minister, but his power is not as powerful as Zhao Gao.

Li Si and Zhao Gao tampered with the imperial edict, but others were unable to resist. This is not due to the excessive concentration of power.

In fact, the initial Ying Zheng did not act so exaggeratedly.

After Lu Buwei, Lord Changping became the prime minister and had quite a lot of power.

However, Lord Changping rebelled against Qin, and all 20 Qin troops were lost. Yingchuan County was reduced to ruins, and the Chu dynasty of the Qin State was liquidated, leaving the court half empty. Fusu's mother was also imprisoned, leaving the Qin State without a successor. .

This plot is about the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao teamed up to send assassins during the sacrifice, pretending to be Changping Lord's old subordinates, assassinating Ying Zheng, framing Fusu, and causing him to be demoted to the frontier to follow Meng Tian to deal with the wolf tribe outside the country.

In fact, it was precisely because of this incident that Ying Zheng took back his power as prime minister, which made him busy with his business and had to review more than 100 kilograms of bamboo slips and memorials every day.

In the final analysis, Qin’s laws need to be changed!
In wartime, punishments and severe laws are used.

After reunification, we need to proceed slowly and win over the people.

Moreover, the empire and the world are all tied to one person, which is also the biggest unstable factor.

Although Ying Zheng is strong, he is only a mortal body.

Only law is the foundation of the country!
Although, this statement is not like what Taoists say.

However, Taoism also values ​​people's livelihood, and Taoism also worries about the world.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's brows were completely furrowed.

With Zhang Bairen's reminder, the talented and resourceful Ying Zheng naturally thought of these issues.

However, this kind of creation from scratch is the most difficult thing.

The laws of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the laws of the princes, and the laws of all countries are no longer applicable.

Only brand-new laws are suitable for the unified Qin Empire!

Moreover, reform is not an easy task.

First, sufficient official talent is needed.

Secondly, we need to fight against those who benefit from the old laws by following the rules.

Then, there are the remnants of the Six Nations, the rebels who have been causing trouble.

Finally, there is the threat from the border. Only when the border is stable can drastic reforms be carried out internally.

These are the difficulties of reform.

Talking about reforms is not as simple as words.

Moreover, those who advocate reform generally do not end well.

This is also the problem.
