Chapter 1 The founding ancestor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Ying! The land of China! Zhao Guo, Handan! As Zhao State can be considered a powerful country among the seven countries in China today, its capital is also very prosperous. Inside the huge city. There are people coming and going everywhere. Shouting at the street vendors doing business. People walking by. It embellishes the prosperous scenery of the city. A separate small yard. An elder and a younger one sat opposite each other.
One long. He was wearing a black robe, with his black hair tied up, and he looked handsome. He seemed to be only in his twenties or thirties, but his temperament gave off a sense of being extraordinary. At first glance, it seems to reveal a sense of mystery and even an unfathomable depth. Like a banished immortal. And in front of him. A child about seven or eight years old was sitting in front of this handsome man, with an appearance of a junior seeking knowledge. Looking at the young face, there was a kind of contemplation, as if he was thinking. "teacher." "The way of the king, the way of the king, the way of the tyrant." “What is the difference between these three types?” "I have been thinking hard for a long time these days. Although I know it is the division of royal power, I don't know the deeper meaning." The boy asked the man in front of him with a desire for knowledge. Hear this! Qin Ying smiled slightly: "Zheng'er, tell me what you understand, and let the teacher see how much you understand." "Yes." The boy nodded, and then said seriously: "Teacher, you have taught me for two years. I have understood it in my heart, but if I am wrong, please point it out. In my opinion, the way of a king lies in the king himself. A king should take virtue as the basis and use his own virtue as a benchmark to influence the people under his command and govern the world with virtue." Hear this. Qin Ying looked at the boy: "Go on." "The kingly way." "It is the highest level of the kingly way. With the kingly way as the foundation and the law as the basis, we govern the people and stabilize the world by ruling the world with the kingly way."
"overbearing." "It is to abandon all the kingly ways and the kingly ways. The king puts his own interests first and uses his tyranny to oppress the people and the world." The boy continued. Qin Ying smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "What you have realized is the meaning of these three ways. The way of the king is to be strict with the king himself, to put morality first, to influence the people of the world with the name of the king, the way of the king is the best way of the king, to control the ministers, to rule the world with the way of the king, and to suppress the world with the way of the tyrant. All power is in hand, those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish." "But Zheng'er." "Which one do you think is acceptable?" heard this question. The boy was a little hesitant. "The way of the king is a thing of the past. Now the main thing is the way of the king and the way of the tyrant." The boy muttered to himself, and then a firmness emerged in his eyes: "But if I were to choose... I would like to choose both. I would like to rule the ministers with the kingly way, rule the world with the kingly way, intimidate the ministers with the tyranny, and intimidate the disobedient ministers with the tyranny." "well said." Qin Ying smiled with satisfaction. She was obviously very satisfied with the boy's answer. "Zheng'er!" "Then do you know which one it is, the kingly way and the hegemonic way?" Qin Ying asked, staring at the boy again. But this time. The boy shook his head: "Please teach me, teacher." "When the kingly way and the hegemonic way are combined, they become the imperial way." "The Imperial Way has the control of the kingly Way and the power of the hegemon." "Use the kingly way to control the ministers, use the kingly way to control the world, and use the law to restrain the subjects." "Use tyranny to intimidate the ministers, and use tyranny to shock the world." "When the two are combined, it becomes the Imperial Way." "Looking around the world, there is still no king who can rule the country with the imperial way." Qin Ying said to the boy in front of him with a serious tone. A glimmer of yearning flashed across the boy's eyes, and he said firmly: "If there is a chance, I would like to be the first one." "Opportunities, of course, exist." "Looking at all the countries in the world, only Qin can implement the imperial way to govern the country." "Shang Yang's reforms have saved the Qin laws and established the foundation for the kingly way." "As for hegemony, it depends on your own heart." Qin Ying spoke slowly, his tone also showing great expectations for the boy in front of him. This time! "teacher."
"Brother Zheng." "It's time to eat." A little girl about the same size as the boy in front of her ran over quickly. The little girl is wearing a black and red long dress and looks very cute and pretty. Even though she is still very young now, it can be seen that she will definitely be a big beauty in the future. "Afang." "Have you finished learning what the teacher taught you?" Looking at the little girl in front of him, the boy's eyes showed a hint of tenderness. "That's natural." The little girl raised her head with great pride. See this. Maybe it's clear who the boy and the little girl are. The boy's name was Zhao Zheng. He was Qin's hostage in Zhao and also the last hostage in the entire Qin State. When the State of Qin went to war with the State of Zhao, her father Ying Zichu fled from Handan in a panic, leaving behind Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng, two orphans and a widowed mother. The little girl was a neighbor in this yard. She grew up with Zhao Zheng and her name was Xia Yufang. His father was also extraordinary, a descendant of a family of doctors and a great doctor of his time, named Xia Wuqie. As for the teacher who is teaching Zhao Zheng at this moment, Qin Ying. Obviously, Zhao Zheng and his men did not know his name and only called him "Sir". If they knew his name was Qin Ying, then as descendants of the Qin royal family, how could they not know it? Qin Ying, Qin Fuzi, can also be called Ying Feizi. The founding father of the Qin State. If we say that in history, Qin Shihuang conquered the world and unified China. His ancestor Qin Ying was a legendary figure who was feared by the world. Even though five or six hundred years have passed, Qin Ying's name still shakes the world. He was granted land in Qin and lived with foreigners, which made him find himself in the most dangerous place in the world. But Qin Shi Huang fought hard to carve out a foothold in the pre-Qin land, which laid the foundation for the present Qin State. More than 600 years ago, after the Qin Dynasty was founded, the martial arts grandmaster's power was feared throughout the world. Let all the countries in the world tremble with fear. only. At this moment, Qin Ying's aura was restrained, and except for his mysterious and unfathomable senses, he was just like an ordinary person. No one would have thought that the founder of the Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago would still be alive. "gentlemen."
"Zheng'er." "It's time to eat." A young woman dressed in ordinary women's clothes walked out of the house, she was stunningly beautiful. She is the mother of Zhao Zheng, Zhao Ji. When he looked at Qin Ying and Zhao Zheng outside the room, he immediately called out softly. However, Zhao Zheng did not move, but looked quietly at Qin Ying in front of him. Since his teacher had not moved, he naturally did not dare to move. It was obvious that he understood the etiquette of a disciple very well and did not dare to overstep the mark. Seeing Zhao Zheng like this, Qin Ying smiled slightly and raised his hand: "Go." "Teacher, please go first." Zhao Zheng stood up and bowed. Qin Ying did not refuse. He slowly stood up and walked into the house. As a proton, you are under surveillance outside and will not be treated well inside. Apart from some money given every month, there were no servants to serve him, so Zhao Ji was responsible for cooking. "Afang." "Where's your dad?" After sitting down in the room, Qin Ying looked at the little girl in front of him and asked in a gentle tone. "He doesn't want to come." "She said she was annoyed by seeing Brother Zheng." Xia Yufang pouted and glanced at Zhao Zheng. …… PS: Please support my new book in every possible way. XOXO. (End of this chapter)
