Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #241 - Chapter 241
Ying Zheng’s words made Ying Wei sit upright.
He knew that if he destroyed South Korea this time, he would definitely be rewarded.
Even if Ying Wei himself does not value those rewards, given his status, as long as he can maintain the relationship with Ying Zheng, no official position or the like is important. He will always be one person below ten thousand people.
However, not rewarding meritorious service is a denial of Qin’s basic national policy, so whether Ying Wei is willing or not, Ying Zheng must reward him.
At the same time, Ying Wei also expressed heartfelt emotions about the changes in Ying Zheng.
The changes in Ying Zheng are not compared to the past. If anything, the changes in Ying Zheng are not very big.
When Ying Wei was still young, Ying Zheng’s character was actually like this. He was serious and concerned about his younger brother. But now that he has become the King of Qin, his concern is more restrained, and his serious side is more strict.
The reason why Ying Wei laments the changes in Ying Zheng is to compare him with Ying Zheng in official history.
Ying Zheng in the official history admired Han Fei’s theory so much. Those remarks about being on guard against relatives, guard against clan, and guard against subordinates made Ying Zheng realize that only by treating him as a confidant would he say that if he traveled with Han Fei, Words of death without regrets
“The reason why Ying Zheng in the official history of”890” has such thoughts is related to Ying Zheng’s life experience, betrayal by his younger brother, betrayal by his mother, the manipulation of power by his subordinates, etc.
It is this kind of life experience that makes Ying Zheng Zheng believed that Han Fei’s purest Legalist thoughts were his dream concept of being a king.
Therefore, Ying Zheng in official history was actually extremely cruel to his relatives. At the very least, it was impossible for him to have such trust in his younger brother Ying Wei.
Part of a person’s character and thoughts are formed innately, but more are cultivated by the environment.
In this history, Ying Zheng’s experience was completely different, although he also experienced Cheng Yu’s betrayal and Lu Buwei’s dictatorship.
But the appearance and existence of Ying Wei caused huge changes in Ying Zheng’s life trajectory.
With Ying Wei’s help, Ying Zheng took back his own power from Lu Buwei. It was also under Ying Wei’s influence that The relationship between Ying Zheng and his mother Zhao Ji has greatly eased.
The latter point is especially important. The betrayal of his mother Zhao Ji is the biggest turning point in Ying Zheng’s life and philosophy. Even the mother who gave birth to him can betray him. , then who else in the world can be trusted?
And in this history, Zhao Ji did not betray, and even took the initiative to ease the relationship. Ying Wei was not interested in his throne, and was completely sincere in helping him.
This made him actually grow up since childhood. Ying Zheng, who is extremely short of love, has the ultimate sense of satisfaction.
As Ying Zheng said, how can people be ruthless if they are not grass and trees? He is a former King of Qin, and he is also a human being. He also looks forward to family affection and feelings.
Ying Wei’s existence is exactly It satisfies Ying Zheng’s needs, and at the same time makes Ying Zheng not care about Cheng Xi’s betrayal, but believes that Cheng Xi’s betrayal is fueled by someone with good intentions.
After all, when Cheng Xi went to attack Zhao State, he was actually the same as Ying Wei. He wanted to seize military power and help Ying Zheng consolidate his power.
But as fate would have it, Cheng Yu was on the verge of destruction.
It was precisely because Ying Zheng had such a big change that when he looked at Han Fei’s theories, he felt I feel uncomfortable all over.
In Han Fei’s theory, the concepts that require the king to renounce love and sex have huge conflicts and contradictions with Ying Zheng’s life experience. Naturally, Ying Zheng will sneer at him.
Especially Han Fei, who wrote these However, it is even more unbelievable that he cannot do the Legalist way of breaking up love.
Even because of Ying Wei, Ying Zheng no longer hates Confucianism so much, because the relationship between the two, In fact, it is very consistent with Confucian filial piety.
However, Ying Zheng’s own temperament makes him still dislike Confucianism. However, Ying Zheng also begins to recognize Ying Wei’s theory of virtue and punishment. Legalism and Confucianism should be combined. Integrated together.
Especially Ying Wei’s words that whether it is Legalism or Confucianism, everything should be used by the king, it is like a high-level building, allowing Ying Zheng to have a new interpretation of his emperor’s way.
It can be said that Ying Wei The existence of Ying Zheng makes Ying Zheng still have the same aura of swallowing up mountains and rivers like the First Emperor in official history.
But at the same time, he is no longer a pure loner, but has deeper emotions.
Ying Wei’s mind was spinning, thinking about Ying Zheng When that kind of change occurred, Ying Zheng said with a straight face:”……I know that my third brother doesn’t like to be an official in the court.”
“However, this time the third brother captured South Korea and let the third brother take charge of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army. This is what the third brother deserves, but this alone is not enough to convince the public.”
“The State of Qin has not yet had the post of Taiwei. I thought that the third brother could take charge of the post of Taiwei. What did the third brother think?”
If other people knew that they could become a Taiwei, they would definitely be overjoyed.
But Ying Wei was thinking about the pros and cons.
In the system of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, the Taiwei is one of the three princes and the highest person in charge of the central military. Sir, he is in charge of military and political matters in the world. He is the head of the military attachés in the world and has the power to command the world’s soldiers and horses!
This position seems to be very big, commanding the world’s soldiers and horses, so in fact, this position has been vacant since Ying Zheng ascended the throne.
Even Lu Buwei Quan When the government was in power, no one was appointed to this position, which simply meant dividing one’s power.
But on the other hand, this position actually had very little power, because the Taiwei must be at the center of the country, right in front of the king.
In this case, unless the Taiwei can monopolize the power, if he really wants to mobilize the troops of the world, he will not need the consent of the king, and this position will not seem so important.
Therefore, after the three ministers and nine ministers, the system of three provinces and six ministries Here, the position of Taiwei was directly downgraded by one level and became the Ministry of War. That level is actually more reasonable.
Ying Zheng also understood this. In the past, he thought that Taiwei had too much power, so he would not let others take up the responsibility.
And as long as If you think about it carefully, the tiger talisman is still in the hands of the king. As long as the king’s power is not lost, then this position is useless.
But Taiwei is one of the three princes, equal to Xiangbang, and his position is not low. He will give this position to Ying Wei , allowing Ying Wei to stand in the highest position in the court.
If there is a war, it is not the Taiwei who decides alone, but summons the generals of the court to discuss it with the king. This position will not be so tiring, so let Ying Wei can’t be lazy.
In addition, the two brothers are one and the same, which can also strengthen the centralization of power. It can only be said that Ying Zheng has painstakingly thought about giving Ying Wei this position, which is good for both of them. 0
Ying Wei’s thoughts The question is whether this position will exhaust him to death. When he found out that when there was no Taiwei in the past, the government of Qin State was running normally. Even if there was a Taiwei, he could still be the boss.
It can be seen that Brother Zheng wanted to reward him. He himself also put a lot of thought into it.
After understanding Ying Zheng’s difficulties, Ying Wei held up his hand and said:”……Since Brother Wang said so, then Brother Chen will do his part.”
Seeing that Ying Wei agreed, Ying Zheng also smiled.
After all, Chang’an Lord is just a prince, a title. As his younger brother, he has helped his younger brother so much, so he has to have a high position in the administrative system. Even if Ying Wei himself doesn’t care about this, and doesn’t even like working as an official, but Ying Zheng has to save face for his third brother.
Even because Ying Wei is not interested in government affairs, it makes Ying Zheng feel more relieved and can’t wait Give him all the glory and wealth
“Okay, then I will issue an edict when I go to court tomorrow.”
Ying Zheng made the decision immediately.
The only one who would complain about this is probably Lu Buwei, but now that Lu Buwei is completely withered, he can no longer dare to oppose Ying Zheng and Ying Wei.
As long as he does not go out of line, he can Ying Zheng only has one word to describe the feeling of appointing and removing officials at will, and that is pleasure!
After finding the most suitable position for Ying Wei, Ying Zheng said again:”……When the Qin State is unified and Gu Da is granted the title of the world, then he will grant the title of Marquis to his third brother!”
Ying Zheng is thinking about Ying Wei’s future.
Although Ying Wei is the Lord of Chang’an, this title cannot be inherited. It is just a special title belonging to the royal family. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
After Ying Zheng passed away, when the next generation of Ying Zheng became the King of Qin, the lineage to which Ying Wei belonged became a small sect, and it would be difficult for him to become a king again.
Therefore, Ying Zheng was prepared to give Ying Wei the throne when the time came. There are two titles, one monarch and one marquis.
When Ying Wei has descendants, although he cannot inherit the throne, he can inherit the title built by merit, thereby benefiting future generations. It can be said that Ying Zheng is worried about Ying Wei. He has even considered what will happen decades later in 5.2.
Ying Wei looked at Brother Zheng with a complicated expression. Brother Zheng really had nothing to say to him.
It’s just Brother Zheng, you really don’t have to think so much. I’m definitely better than you, brother. You will live a long life, and you will live a long time.
What I will talk about when the time comes is the position under your body.
When Brother Zheng is gone, I may say to Fusu, uncle, I am ready to be this Qin II!
But even though he thought so, Ying Wei still thanked Ying Zheng for his kindness:”……My brother thanked Brother Wang! Ying
Zheng smiled and said:”……We are all a family, so what is there to thank you for?”
“Now that South Korea has been destroyed, in the opinion of the third brother, should Qin go all out to attack other countries, or should it make temporary repairs?”
Ying Wei said without any consideration:”……Brother Wang, the Qin State should be reorganized at this time, and the land of Korea should be completely integrated into the Qin State’s system before considering other countries.”
“In my opinion, in three to four years, it will be a good time for Qin to destroy the other five countries in one fell swoop!”
Ying Zheng looked majestic, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Ying Wei’s words, and slowly said:”……Appreciate further details!”.
