Chapter 42
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period played a pivotal role in the history of Chinese civilization; in that era, academia and ideological circles flourished, forming a situation where different schools of thought emerged among intellectuals and schools of thought competed for beauty among families, thus Created splendid culture and art.At that time, whether it was the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period or the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, they all integrated the academics of various schools for their own use. The State of Qin chose the strategists, the Legalists, and the Strategists.

Lei Zheng, who destroyed the six kingdoms and ruled the world, is ambitious and full of confidence. His successive victories have made him a self-willed character. He will never allow opposition to anything he thinks is right; anyone who opposes him has only one end. --die.

Freedom of speech in the pre-Qin period, people were not punished by their words, some Confucian children had not yet changed their minds, and they used sharp words to criticize the current affairs, publicized all kinds of wrong things about Qin Shihuang, and used superiors when they saw any unreasonable phenomena. posture to criticize.

Qin Shihuang was a person with a high desire to control. Seeing that the Confucian children were so presumptuous, he came to him in a fit of anger to burn books and confuse Confucianism, so as to warn all schools of thought.

Of course, historians still have debates about burning books and burying Confucianism.It's just that it's been a long time, and no one has found evidence.

Why did Qin Shihuang burn books and bury Confucianism?
One of the most convincing arguments is that various classics record the ancient sage king's philosophy of governing the world, and Qin Shihuang thought that "the three emperors are the most successful, and the five emperors are the best", so he wanted to replace the ancient sage king's world governance ideas with his own. To honor the present is to burn the past.Secondly, the Four Books and Five Classics often praise the kings of the past dynasties, and the first emperor did not want the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to praise the former kings of the Six Kingdoms, so this is the case.

Qin Qiong's sentence "disappearing and searching was deliberately done by the first emperor. In fact, the holy sword has always been in his hands, and what he did was nothing more than deceiving people." It has explained a lot.

The Sword of the Holy Way——Xuanyuan and Zhenguo Jiuding were important tokens of the "divine authority of the emperor" in the pre-Qin period. Only with both or one of them can one submit to the world, but these two are deeply impressed by the two holy kings Huangdi and Xia. Yu's brand is to subtly make the world forget the sage, and it is also for the sake of the great Qin Dynasty for generations to come.It is obviously a matter of course for the talented Qin Shihuang to burn books to forget the holy king, hide the holy sword to cast jade seals to replace the holy sword, and Jiuding.

Facts have proved that Qin Shihuang's original strategy has succeeded.Up to now, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo cast with Heshibi has replaced the Holy Sword of Xuanyuan and the Jiuding of Zhenguo, and has become the holy object of "divine authority of the monarch". Unfortunately, the descendants of the Ying family cannot enjoy the original arrangement of Qin Shihuang.Under the deliberate ugliness of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty, Qin Shihuang, who dominated the world, became a well-known tyrant instead.

The Holy Sword of Xuanyuan reappears in the world, both pros and cons coexist.

The advantage is that the "fact" that Li Shimin was the son of the Emperor of Heaven is confirmed, and the disadvantage is that the Qin family cannot justify itself.

After much deliberation, Qin Feng rationally chose to keep it a secret for the time being, and said: "This matter is of great importance. Once the matter is spread, it will definitely be true. After careful investigation, our origins will eventually be revealed to the world one day. Then At that time, we will be in a passive position. Even if the Holy Majesty believes it now, what about the Holy Majesty after? After offering the Holy Sword of Xuanyuan, will the Holy Majesty ask Zhenguo Jiuding? If we offer the Holy Sword, will the Holy Majesty doubt the Holy Spirit? The origin of the sword? And these are enough to push us to the cusp. Those who hate us will definitely try to frame us. The holy sword can be offered, but it is definitely not now. We must choose a right time and a right place to offer it. Although the Holy Majesty Trust our father and son, but "the mouth can melt the gold, and the accumulation will destroy the bones". Compared with the thousands of miles and generations, what are we? There are many emperors, and Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai are the emperor's most admired and loved ones. son, and sooner or later these three people will fight openly and secretly for that seat. At that time, we can choose to be neutral, but what if a certain force threatens us with our identity in order to win us over? At that time, we were never good, no Never. Let’s do it. I’m worried that this side’s power will eventually lose power, which will implicate us. If we don’t, we won’t be able to pass through the test of the Holy Spirit. My Qin family has done a good job, and I’m not afraid of everything Enemies, but there is no need to add unnecessary enemies. Therefore, Haier thinks that everything is business as usual, and the Qin family still comes from the poor Qin family. The holy sword and the Yingzheng have nothing to do with us."

Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, Qin Feng's analysis was well-founded.If ordinary people get such an astonishing secret, they will definitely be shocked by it, or panic, or immediately tell the secret to someone they can trust for discussion.

Undoubtedly, due to the special origin of the Qin family, they will definitely be targeted by those who are interested. Among them, Changsun Chong, who hates Qin Feng to the bone, will never miss this opportunity to make trouble. Changsun Chong is not terrible, but what is terrible is Changsun Wuji poisonous snake.Once Zhangsun Wuji caught the handle, the consequences would be unimaginable, and offering treasures now is definitely a very stupid thing.

"Erlang is quick-witted, so he can finally feel at ease as a father." Qin Qiong smiled pointedly.

"Dad, are you testing me?" After thinking for a while, Qin Feng suddenly said: "Actually, there is no need, because I know what the emperor cares about better than anyone else. It’s just something like that, as long as we don’t touch the emperor’s bottom line, making a little mistake will be of great benefit.”

Qin Qiong felt relieved to see Qin Feng's thoughtful thoughts. This matter is of great importance. It is really not easy for Qin Feng to handle everything so rationally. She sighed: "Erlang has really grown up! At first, your mother and I wanted you to take the time to dedicate your life to me. Your Majesty, it was just a discussion, and he felt that there was no harm but no benefit. Therefore, there was this test. Erlang is as thoughtful and astute as a man, so rest assured for his father! This matter is over, let’s pretend it never happened! It’s too early to get involved Politics is not good for your future development. In fact, I prefer you to be a simple general, rather than comprehensive. The stronger your ability, the more political enemies you have. At present, you are doing very well, and you have not gone against any prince. It’s too close. You must always remember: the emperor has at least three or forty years to live.”

"My child understands."

Qin Feng sneered and said: "Some people, leaving the emperor alone, insist on considering the long-term interests of the family. I really don't know what they think?"

"The emperor is smart and wise. It is clear at a glance who is loyal and who is evil. Those speculators can't get any benefit from the emperor. Of course, they invest their limited resources in infinite possibilities." Qin Qiong paused, and sneered: "In order to ensure long-term interests, some aristocratic families, I put my thoughts on Wei Wangtai, but it's really pitiful and pathetic for Wei Wangtai to go down to an ordinary family but not understand the emperor's thoughts."

Qin Feng was very surprised, as if meeting Qin Qiong for the first time.

Such a person turned out to be a reckless man, a warrior who was looked down upon by a century-old family?So, what happened to the aristocratic family that invested indiscriminately?

Seeing Qin Feng's strange appearance, Qin Qiong's old face became hot, and he smiled embarrassingly: "Your Uncle Cheng said that!"

No wonder so!
Qin Feng suddenly realized that his Uncle Cheng was as the name suggests, an out-and-out "Cheng Goblin". He had done countless messes in his life, started his business by selling private salt, was once the king of the Great Demon Kingdom in Wagangzhai, After surrendering to Li Tang, he also made a lot of great achievements with his cleverness and luck.He has been very lucky in his life, and has gone through the four dynasties of Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong, and Wu Zetian. He can be said to be the number one lucky general among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.If that guy didn't have the "three axes", how could he become a tumbler in the officialdom.

Qin Qiong met his son's gaze, and admitted frankly: "Your Uncle Cheng is as wise as a fool, as clever as a clumsy, you are not as good as a father! Without your Uncle Cheng, maybe I would not be where I am today."

When he was also a general under Wang Shichong's tent, Cheng Yaojin once said to Qin Shubao: "The prince's talent is shallow and narrow, but he likes to talk nonsense and like to swear and swear. This is just an old witch. How can he be a monarch who sets things right!" Jiuqu fought with the Tang army. Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie led troops in the battle. With dozens of their subordinates, they rode their horses and ran westward for a hundred steps. Special preferential treatment, always want to repay favors and serve you, but you are jealous, love to believe in slander, you are not my refuge, now I can no longer serve you, please part from now on." So he jumped on his horse and came to surrender to Tang.

It can be said that without Cheng Yaojin's original words, Qin Qiong might have become a ghost under the knife just like Shan Xiongxin back then. Otherwise, where would the Duke of Yi and Shangzhu be today?To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng Yaojin is Qin Qiong's savior.Of course, gain and dedication are always in direct proportion. If it weren't for Qin Qiong's deep loyalty and unparalleled righteousness, he wouldn't have made such beneficial friends.

Qin Qiong said: "Bite gold and make enemies of others, and I stand aloof. This is our way of being an official. It doesn't matter if others are jealous or disdainful. As long as you don't get together to manage, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, you will get unexpected gains. It seems indisputable. In fact, it has been fought."

Qin Feng knew that Qin Qiong was teaching him the experience of most of his life, so he listened attentively. Maybe Qin Qiong is not a qualified politician, but his experience from troubled times and decades of officialdom are by no means. Qin Feng, who was born in a peaceful age, can be compared, so it sounds extraordinarily attentive.To be honest, Qin Qiong didn't have anything to teach, so he simply told the experience of his life one by one.

Since he couldn't figure out why, he simply reported in detail what he saw, heard, and experienced during the Jianghu period, the troubled times, the war period, the unification period, and the official period. He knew that Qin Feng was smarter than him, so he simply let him find the answer by himself. .In this way, Qin Feng has benefited a lot, especially for the ancient battlefield, he has a more intuitive understanding, let him understand that the war in the era of cold weapons is definitely more tragic than the era of hot weapons.
