In a daze, half a month passed.

Xianyang Palace, Xingle Palace.

Xingle Palace is very spectacular. In terms of area alone, Xingle Palace is three times larger than the Forbidden City of later generations. It is not only the residence of the Qin kings in the past dynasties, but it is also the palace where government affairs are handled and memorials are met with courtiers.

Thanks to the endless emergence of bright kings and wise ministers in the Qin State, there are many palaces below Xianyang Palace. In addition to Xingle Palace, there are also Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Ganquan Palace... and so on.

group of palaces.

"Zheng, I have a question, and I want to ask the teacher." Qin Wangzheng said respectfully.

Because the four core theories of society, economy, military, and politics are spreading more and more widely among the seven countries, Dongqing's reputation in this world has become more legendary and majestic.

Nowadays, Dongqing's identity has been regarded as a sage by most people. There is an endless stream of people who come to ask for advice every day, but these people are all blocked from the Five Elements Palace.

There are not many people who can see Dongqing anytime and anywhere. Apart from the Moon God, Dongjun Yanfei, Jingshao Yaner, mother and daughter, I am afraid there are only Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei and Qin Wangzheng.

The current Qin Wangzheng has officially worshiped Dong Qing as his teacher. In addition to being the protector of the Qin State, Dong Qing also has the identity of a nominal imperial teacher.

Dong Qing was unwilling to accept the status of Imperial Master at first and refused repeatedly. However, he relented after Empress Dowager Zhao Ji took the initiative to summon Dong Qing half a month ago.

It's not that Dong Qing'er is soft-hearted, but that he didn't know how to refuse the conditions offered by the Queen Mother Zhao Ji. After refusing three times, he agreed to become a disciple of Qin Wangzheng.

"If you have any questions, just ask."

Dongqing looked very calm, he was not afraid of any problems now.

During this time.

He took the time to make a special trip back to the Douluo God Realm, and while handing over public rations to Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and others, he also found many precious books on society, politics, economy, and military aspects from the lower realm.

"Teacher, what exactly are social relationships?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

About this question.

Dong Qing thought about it seriously, and then slowly said: "Social relations are very complicated to say, there are many kinds, the social relations between individuals, the social relations between individuals and collectives, the social relations between individuals and the country,

The social relationship of the individual to the world.”

“Finally, it also includes social relations between groups, social relations between groups and countries, and social relations between countries.”

"Society is a word that is broad and profound, ranging from civil forces to civil and military officials. In fact, a country is essentially a large society bounded by one territory. The relationship between an individual and the country is the relationship between an individual and the large society.

relationship between.”

Dong Qing spoke very slowly in order to let Qin Wangzheng think. With these three simple sentences, Qin Wangzheng fell into deep thought and thought about the deeper meaning of every sentence Dong Qing said.

"Teacher, social relations are so profound and complicated. I don't know what the role of society is?" Qin Wangzheng continued to ask for advice.

The role of society?

Dong Qing touched his chin, sorted out the knowledge in his mind, and then thought of how to answer this question.

“Society has a communication function, because emotional communication is needed between individuals. Therefore, tools for mutual communication such as language, characters, and symbols have been created, which not only provide a basis for emotional communication between people, but also provide a basis for emotional communication between people.

The social connections between them have been of great help.”

"Society has an integrating function. Countless small societies form a large society, but a large society is not necessarily a country. There are also mutual independence among different ethnic groups. But if countless individual people can be brought together to form a country, through

The state adjusts ethnic contradictions, conflicts and even antagonisms and controls them within a certain reasonable range. This is a large and reasonable society."

"Society has a guiding role. Society has a set of behavioral norms to maintain normal social order, adjust the relationship between individuals, stipulate and guide the direction of individual thoughts and behaviors. Guidance can be tangible, and can be passed through laws, etc.

It can be carried out by non-coercive means such as coercive means or public opinion, or it can be carried out intangibly, such as through subtle guidance through customs and habits."

Speaking of which.

Qin Wangzheng raised his hand and said cautiously: "Teacher, law, that is, law, is the basis of hundreds of schools of legalism, but what is public opinion?"

"Public opinion..." Dongqing's tone was hesitant.

"Please ask the teacher to clarify your doubts." Qin Wangzheng bowed.

It is normal for students to pay homage to their teachers. There is nothing strange about him. Although he is the king of Qin, he is also a student, a student who is thirsty for knowledge.

"Public opinion is just rumors. For example, if one person says there is a tiger in the city, no one believes it. Two people say there is a tiger in the city, but they are half-believed. When three people say there is a tiger in the city, they believe it without any doubt. This is public opinion. Public opinion can make a fortune.

It's hard to explain." Dong Qing shook his head.

"The teacher said that it should be the three men who are responsible for the Warring States policy. But Zheng is not the king of Wei. He will not believe such rumors, nor will he change his mind just because many people say it. Zheng has his own thoughts in his heart.

The method of judging right and wrong." Qin Wangzheng said.

The Warring States Policy has a total of thirty-three volumes.

It is divided into "Eastern Zhou", "Western Zhou", "Qin", "Chu", "Qi", "Zhao", "Wei", "Han", "Yan", "Song", "Wei" and "Zhongshan".

Fifty thousand words.

Warring States Policy was not written by one person, nor was it completed in one moment. The whole book does not have a systematic and complete style or main line. They are all independent chapters. It is said that there were multiple versions from the beginning.

[Warring States Policy·Wei Ce II]

Pang Cong and the prince were held hostage in Handan.

Pang Cong said: "Today someone says there is a tiger in the market, does Wang believe it?"

The king said: "No."

Pang Cong said: "The two of them said that there is a tiger in the market, does Wang believe it?"

The king said: "I am doubtful."

Pang Cong said: "Three people said that there is a tiger in the market, does Wang believe it?"

The king said: "I believe it."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pang Cong said: "It is clear that there are no tigers in the city, but three people speak and become a tiger. Today, Handan is far away from Daliang than the city, and there are more than three people who discuss the ministers.

That’s right. I hope the king will check it out.”

The king said: "I know myself well."

So he said goodbye, but the slanderous words came first. Later, the prince gave up the pledge, but the result was not seen.

【Detailed explanation】

Wei minister Pang Cong accompanied the prince to Zhao as a hostage. Before leaving, he said to the king of Wei: "Now there is a person saying that a tiger appears in the market. Does the king believe it?"

King Wei replied: "I don't believe it."

Pang Cong asked again: "If two people said that a tiger appeared in the market, would the king believe it?"

King Wei said: "I will have some doubts."

Pang Cong continued: "If a third person appears and says there is a tiger in the market, will your Majesty believe it?"

King Wei replied: "Of course I will believe it."

Pang Cong said: "Obviously, there are no tigers in the market at all, but after three people spread the word, it seems that there really are tigers in the market. Now the distance between Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and Daliang, the capital of Wei State, is longer than the distance between the palace and the palace."

The market is far away, and there are more than three people who criticize me. I hope your Majesty can see clearly."

King Wei said: "I know this well, so you can go ahead with peace of mind!"

Sure enough, as soon as Pang Cong left with the prince, someone framed him and the prince in front of the King of Wei.

At the beginning.

The King of Wei would also defend Pang Cong and the Crown Prince. Many people made false accusations, but the King of Wei actually believed them to be true. After Pang Cong and the Crown Prince returned home, the King of Wei never summoned Pang Cong or the Crown Prince again.

.........

"Your Majesty should be familiar with Warring States Policy, but are you aware of the power of rumors?" Dong Qing asked.

"The power of rumors to spread rumors is truly terrifying. Just one mouthful can kill someone. Even now, there are still people who talk about politics and are not of the blood of the late king."

Qin Wangzheng nodded slowly. He understood the horror of this rumor best. If this rumor had been confirmed, he would not be able to sit on the throne now.

Fortunately, from the time of Qin Xiaogong, King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, and King Zhuangxiang of Qin were all wise kings, and none of them were mediocre kings.

King Zhuangxiang of Qin, the biological father of Qin Wangzheng, was very sure that Qin Wangzheng was his son, and he did not let external rumors shake his belief.

"It's simple. Just support famous people and let them become the mouthpieces of the Qin State. With their ability to sophistry, many rumors will naturally be solved." Dong Qing suggested.

"Teacher, the various schools of thought are not so easy to win over. They have their own ideas and will not be easily won over by the country and forces. Just like the Mohist school, they have maintained their independence from beginning to end."

Qin Wangzheng shook his head helplessly. If the various schools of thought were so easy to win over, Qin would not have only two schools of thought, the Yin-Yang family and the Gongshu family.

The Taoists, Mohists, military strategists, Confucianists, Legalists, medical experts, farmers, famous strategists, political strategists who were at the peak of the world... all these schools of thought were arrogant and arrogant, and they did not even bother to become vassals of the country.

.

As a prominent scholar in the world, only the princes and kings have always cured favor with them. How could they take the initiative to curry favor with the princes and kings? Not everyone is a loser of the Yin Yang family and the public. They have weak bones and submit to the Qin State when they see it is strong.

In the eyes of these leaders of hundreds of schools of thought, Qin's power is only temporary. Qin has produced six generations of Mingjuns in a row. It is impossible for the next generation of kings to still be Mingjuns.

In the past, Korea, Wei, Zhao, Chu, Qi, and Yan were all countries that had no glory in their ancestors, but as soon as the faint king appeared, the whole country went straight downhill.

The leaders of hundreds of schools of thought would never have imagined that the Qin State was so powerful that the next generation would really be a wise king and a king who had completed the great unification.

And there is.

Don't think that the Yin Yang family has a premonition that Qin will be the unified dynasty in the future. The Yin Yang family does not have this ability, they just simply want to be strong.
