Daqin: Zulong Asked Me to Be the Prince

"Then what... Ada, I didn't mean to! 39

Qin Feng giggled and said,

"You sit, you sit..."

Ying Zheng snorted softly, but did not take the seat, but brought a chair from elsewhere.

"Sit down! Melon boy!

He said casually,

"This throne is not very comfortable to sit on, and you can experience it. 55

Saying that, he actually sat beside Qin Feng!

Thankfully, all the people in Gongnv Temple were dispersed. If you see the King of Qin making room for others, you shouldn't be frightened!

"This... how dare I..."

"sit!

Qin Feng also wanted to refuse, but at Ying Zheng's order, he had to sit down.

His current position is the throne of King Qin; his current perspective... is the perspective of King Qin!

At a glance, the hall door is open!

It was pitch black outside, only the inside of the hall was empty, but it was brightly lit.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that he was stunned, Ying Zheng asked softly.

"I feel... so lonely.

Qin Feng withdrew his gaze and said with emotion,

"Actually, to deal with government affairs, there is no need to light so many candles in such a hall."

"I feel that I only need a small study, two or three candles, and it's enough, and it's still warm! 99

"Here... it's cold and empty, and there's no one around, it makes people feel lonely for no reason...

He doesn't like this type of office.

Might as well be in his small shop, where it is quiet and warm.

"Loneliness . . . is a good word to use. 35

Ying Zheng slightly adjusted his sitting posture and said softly,

"Then do you know why the father did not choose to manage affairs in the study, but rather in this empty and lonely hall?"

"Do you think lighting so many candles is a waste?"

Qin Feng nodded with a look of course, and said:

"Now that Daqin's finances are in deficit, it is natural to save as much as possible, and all kinds of wasteful things must be eliminated.

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head.

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but -- now for the Father, I'm asking you a question.

he asked,

"Since lighting a candle is a waste, is it a waste to cast such a majestic Zhangtai Palace?"

"Are the palaces owned by widows in various places considered extravagant?

"Are the construction of straight roads, galloping roads, and the construction of the Great Wall a waste of money and extravagance?

Qin Feng: 66..."

Consecutively asked, so that he did not know the idea of ​​​​not responding for a while.

"If you want to be frugal, yes!

Ying Zheng smiled and said,

"A widow in a thatched hut can still manage government affairs!"

"It's not impossible for ministers to hold court meetings on the fields, do you think so?"

"Without repairing roads or building the Great Wall, Daqin can still survive for a long time, but it's just a little less convenient and a defense method."5

"Then why do the widows still do these things? 35

Qin Feng frowned.

He felt that there was something wrong with Ying Zheng's words, but he didn't understand what was wrong for a while.

Just listen to Ying Zheng said solemnly:

"Because the King of Qin needs majesty!

"Since he is a king and is above ten million people, then he should use the specifications above ten million people!"

"If you are a king, if you live in a thatched hut where all the people live, how can you make the people respect you?"

"You are an imperial court, and you hold court meetings in the open fields to be the administrator. How can you make the people of your country believe in you?"

"Therefore, what kind of status you are in, what kind of standard should you use! There is a clear distinction between superior and inferior!""

"In this way, the ruler has authority, and the state has a state system, so that the upper and lower levels can be effective, and the state will govern!

He is teaching Qin Feng the way of being a king! The etiquette of being a king!

And it's the kind of all-pervasive, all-round teaching that you can say when you think of it!

The real training of successors is not simply and rudely asking him to study Confucianism and law.

You must tell your face, take it with you and instill it at all times, and teach it everywhere!

However, after listening to Ying Zheng's teaching, Qin Feng shook his head.

"I don't think you're right, Ada."

he said,

"You are obviously sophistry!

Ying Zheng raised his brows, but he wasn't annoyed, instead he said with a smile:

"Is it a sophistry for the father? Okay, then tell me, what is wrong with the father. Let's discuss it together."

Being assertive is also a big plus!

He was more than happy to see Qin Feng's rebuttal with him after thinking about it, rather than to see a perfunctory obedience.

"As for the monarchy, I think it needs to be viewed dialectically.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then said with a serious tone,

"As a monarch, one must naturally have authority! As a state, one must naturally have a state system! 39

"I totally agree with that.

"The monarch enjoys the specifications he should have, such as the guard of honor, such as the court, these are indispensable.

"But everything must have a limit. Once it exceeds this limit, it will be extravagant and wasteful! It's unnecessary!"

"Why do I say that you are sophistry? Because when I say that you should not waste it, you say that you should let the monarch live in a thatched hut... This is clearly an extreme idea! This is unacceptable!

Ying Zheng:

His expression froze slightly.

Good boy! This boy's thinking is so clear!

The tried-and-true arguments in the past have revealed such a big flaw in front of this kid!

Before he could react, Qin Feng said again:

"One more point, you have made a very serious mistake in your argument, that is, confusing concepts, or even stealing concepts!"

"You are clearly talking about the king's extravagance and waste, but you are talking about the court, that's all, because these two are the same kind of problem after all. 35

"But when you talk about building roads and building the Great Wall, I can't understand... these are completely two questions! How can you confuse them?

"The former is a waste that can be avoided; while building the Great Wall of Roads requires a lot of human and material resources to bring about substantial changes to the country! Both of which cost money, but the essence of spending money is completely different!

"So... your argument is not convincing at all!""

Qin Feng felt relieved after some words.

Just say what feels wrong... It turns out that Ying Zheng used "extreme thinking" + "confused concepts"!

This form often appears in sophistry. At first glance, it seems reasonable, but if you explore it carefully, it is a fallacy! It is not worth a show!

Ying Zheng: "@#¥%...*@!!!"

"You...you boy..."

At this moment, Ying Zheng was stunned, he pointed at Qin Feng, and said with a stammer,

"How can your mother-in-law be so articulate! Who is this... like?!

"Ah? What's the matter with you?! 35

Qin Feng's words broke his defense!

These words, but he is invincible in the face of all officials and officials!

This method has been tried and tested, and every time he choked people to the point of speechlessness, he felt that he was arrogant! He was a natural debater!

until this moment...

He can't take it!

He can't accept that there are such big loopholes and flaws in his argument!!.
