Chapter 6 Assassination
"So that's it." Qin Yiren really didn't expect that this story would be like this that prompted Shang Yang to "change customs and customs".
Qin Yiren and the others have guessed many possibilities, but they did not expect that a young girl who was not adult actually promoted the national policy of the Qin Dynasty. It is really touching.
"Mr. Shang is really amazing, he is worthy of being a talented person in the world!" Immediately afterwards, Qin Yiren admired Shang Yang very much.
If it were a different person, it would be very likely to be ignored directly, or even used as a joke, but Shang Yang did not do so, but was greatly touched and was elevated to a national policy. No matter how much praise it is, it is not an exaggeration.
"Mr. Shang is such a talent!" Meng Wu, Zhao Ji, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong and Lu Jujian all exclaimed in unison, with admiration on their faces.
"Yes, Shang Jun is a talented man who is rare!" The old man said with a smile: "Look at our place, now we are rich, every family lives in spacious houses, everyone eats full, dresses warmly, and lives a good life. This is all thanks to Shang Jun."
When Shang Jun was mentioned, the old man was so happy that he couldn't say anything, with a sincere smile on his face and said, "Do you know, when Shang Jun came to us, how did we look here?"
This question is really a test. Meng Wu and the others stroked their foreheads and pondered, but Qin Yiren smiled and said, "I think your ancestors must have lived a very hard life at that time, and there was no more than the next."
"Huh." The old man was surprised and looked at Qin Yiren in surprise and praised: "Young man, I really didn't realize that you have a good vision, and you actually guessed it right."
"Haha." Qin Yiren chuckled and said, "Old man has been awarded too much. I saw this from the book. Everyone in the world knows that when Shangjun reformed, Qin was poor and poor. The entire government had very little money and food, so little that it was almost impossible to pay the salary. The government is like this. Can ordinary people and common people have a good life?"
"It's right!" The old man tapped his hands with a high tone and said, "Young man, you are really knowledgeable and worthy of being a scholar. I heard from our ancestors that at that time, even the people of the country had a meal but no meal, no food or clothing, and in order to survive, many people took risks and started doing business without business. Most of the people here are not common people, not Chinese people, but slaves, who are at the forefront of fighting and have no money to get the merits. Generally speaking, it is a blessing for anyone who goes to the battlefield to come back alive. Many people are disabled and return home, but they are helpless, and they are even harder than beggars."
Shang Yang's reforms were not only about changing the laws of Qin, but also a far-reaching social change. Because he practiced the feudal system, abolished the "well-field system" and the slave system, making all Qin people the country and common people.
This move won the hearts of the people. Although many old nobles opposed Shang Yang and opposed Shang Yang, Shang Yang was supported by the "new country people". This is an extremely important reason why Shang Yang was able to succeed.
It can be imagined that at that time, most of the Qin people were slaves, and only a small number of them were slave owners and nobles. Suddenly, the Qin people found that they were no longer slaves, but Chinese people and common people. What would they think? What would they do?
Needless to think about it, they will definitely respond in groups and support Shang Yang's reforms.
Freedom, personal rights, and possession of property are fatal attraction for slaves. Who else can they support if they don’t support Shang Yang?
It is precisely because of the support of most Qin people that Shang Yang's reforms were successful.
"The law of Shang Jun is good, so that everyone is a Chinese and commoner, no longer be bullied by the nobles." The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and he sighed: "From now on, we can make merits and receive rewards, and be promoted and obtained titles. This is something that we dare not even think about in the past. This is Shang Jun, giving us Qin people a way to live!"
Shang Yang's reforms not only abolished the ancient "well-field system" but also created a good atmosphere, allowing everyone to be equal in front of Qin law and be rewarded. In this way, how could the Qin people not support Shang Yang?
Therefore, even though Shang Yang died, the law of Shang lord still existed, and no one could abolish it. The kings of Qin all dynasties had to strictly abide by the "law of Shang lord".
It is precisely because of this that hundreds of years have passed that the Qin people still remember Shang Jun and are still thinking about Shang Jun’s goodness. When they mention Shang Jun, they admire him.
Although King Huiwen of Qin broke Shang Yang with his car, he did not abolish the law of Shang Jun. Not only did he not abolish the law of Shang Jun, but he also implemented it to promote the law of Shang Jun across the country and strengthened the law of Shang Jun. The reason why he wanted to kill Shang Yang was because he wanted to eliminate this huge threat, not to abolish the law of Shang Jun. As long as Shang Yang died, the threat would no longer exist. If the people in China miss Shang Jun, King Huiwen of Qin would not care.
Shang Jun is a rare genius. The reason why King Huiwen of Qin wanted to kill him was that he had to be killed. Because the two had hatred and could not pee in a pot, King Huiwen of Qin could not use him. He could not let Shang Yang go. Shang Yang could build a Qin State that was almost about to be destroyed into a first-class Warring States State and respect the world. If he was let go, God knew whether he would build another Qin State, which was to make enemies for Qin State.
The best way to solve this problem is to kill Shang Yang, which can solve the threat without any worries.
Of course, a strong minister like Shang Yang has made great contributions to Qin State, so how easy it is to kill him? This requires clear proof, and it is necessary to make Shang Yang die. The best thing is to rebel.
Therefore, most of the crimes that King Huiwen of Qin killed Shang Yang were false and forced to do so. It was so wrong for later generations to criticize Shang Yang based on this.
"If you can live in the hearts of the people, Shang Jun will not be in vain!" Qin Yiren of course understood why King Huiwen of Qin wanted to kill Shang Yang, and was very moved.
"Young man, you are right, Mr. Shang will always live in our hearts!" The old man was very happy, as if Qin Yiren was praising his ancestors.
Shang Jun benefited thousands of people, not only benefiting the Qin people, but also benefiting us modern people.
If Shang Yang had not laid the foundation for unification without the reform of Qin State, even if Qin Shihuang was more than capable, it would be "a skillful woman could not cook without rice". Without the support of the powerful Qin State and the accumulation of strong national strength, Qin Shihuang would not be able to unify China and achieve a turning point in Chinese history.
Qin Shihuang's unification of China was a turning point in Chinese history, because before that, China implemented a feudal system and separatist governance. The country was nominally unified, but in fact it was divided and each was in power, and the emperor could not control it.
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he decisively abolished the feudal system and strengthened centralization. Since then, China embarked on the road of great unification.
All this began with Shang Yang and became Qin Shihuang. Although Qin Shihuang had great achievements, Shang Yang's achievements must not be buried!
"If life is like this, what's the regret for you?" Qin Yiren raised his head to the sky and shouted loudly.
"If life is like this, what's the regret for you?" Meng Wu, Zhao Ji, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong and Lu Jujian responded loudly.
Who has never died in life since ancient times? Leave your loyalty to shine in history!
If you can do something in your lifetime and benefit the people and future generations, what is death?
At this moment, Qin Yiren's mood was changing, and his whole body was showing his sharpness, like a sharp sword unsheathed, powerful and extraordinary.
It took a long time to come to the Warring States Period. Qin Yiren experienced many things, but his subconscious mind had not yet fully integrated into this era. At this time, he completely relaxed his body and mind and completely integrated into this great era with blood flowing.
"I think I did a stupid thing. During the Battle of Handan, when Qin State attacked the city, I should let the Qin army launch a large-scale attack regardless of the opposition of the Zhao people. What if it flows into a river? For unification, the price must be paid! For future generations, anyone who dares to stop unification will die!" Qin Yiren kept asking himself in his heart, and suddenly realized that during the Battle of Handan that day, his heart was too soft and tried his best to stop the Qin army from attacking.
"'One general succeeds, thousands of bones are undone.' If I cannot face thousands of bones calmly, I will never be able to wipe out the six kingdoms and unify China!" Qin Yiren's mood changed, and he became a little cold and ruthless, but he was one step closer to the path of an emperor.
Every emperor who has achieved great achievements has gone to glory with thousands of corpses. Qin Yiren used to be too soft-hearted, but now he is a bit like an emperor.
Next, Qin Yiren and others walked around under the leadership of the old man. The Qin people here were grateful for the virtues of Shang Jun and kept all the old houses and cleaned them very cleanly, but there was a smell of mold.
Look at these old houses and then look at the new houses they live in now. The bright one is really in the sky and the other is underground. This is incomparable. This is all the achievements of Shang Jun.
After staying in Chenjia Village for three days, Qin Yiren and others gained a lot, and everyone sighed that "this trip is not worth it."
The one who gained the greatest gain was Qin Yiren. His mood changed and he had great insight into the way of the emperor.
Three days later, they bid farewell to Chenjia Village and left.
In the following days, they went to several places, and wherever they went, they saw peace everywhere. The Qin people lived and worked in peace, had food, clothes, and lived in bright residences, and everyone was smiling happily.
"With this powerful Qin State as a backing, if I can't wipe out the six kingdoms and unify China, I will be sorry for my descendants!" Qin Yiren secretly warned himself in his heart.
"Young Master, we have been out for more than half a month, and it's time to go back." Meng Wu reminded.
"Yes, it's time to go back." Qin Yiren nodded and said, "Let's go back to Xianyang."
"Haha!" Meng Zhao and the others laughed happily, laughing: "Recalling the past, when the young master left Xianyang, he was just a cow, and now he is the number one scholar in the world. He also has the great achievements of planning the Battle of Handan, ambushing Xinling Jun, the Battle of Zhongmu, and destroying Zhao. When the young master returned to Xianyang, he would definitely receive the reward from the emperor."
"That's right! That's right!" Magai, Fan Tong agreed in unison.
Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong followed Qin Yi hostage Zhao back then. He knew the miserableness of Qin Yiren when he left Qin. No one cared about him, and everyone regarded him as a dead man. Now, Qin Yiren has the reputation of being the best scholar in the world and has returned several great achievements to the country. If King Zhao of Qin still did not reward Qin Yiren highly, he would be blind.
Along the way, everyone talked about the situation after Qin Yiren returned to Xianyang, and was very happy and it was easy to travel, as if flying.
On that day, a group of men in black were stopped by the right place.
