Qin Official

For half a month, Hei Fu had never been alone with the disfigured Zhang Liang.

This was certainly not because he found Zhang Liang disfigured and found it boring.

It's because Zhang Liang deserves to be called "Liang". If you add a radical and a word, he becomes "wolf destroyer", and he can destroy his face resolutely.

Therefore, Hei Fu is still wary of him. He never takes off his sword whenever they meet. He always leaves one or two confidants in the room. The two of them are three steps apart. Hei Fu holds his hand towards them:

"Mr. Huang, can Mr. Chen put down his hostility? Please give me some advice."

Zhang Liang sat upright and said calmly: "Please let me tell you what I know about the people in Chendi."

"I studied etiquette in Huaiyang when I was young, so I know the history of Chendi."

"Chen, the ancient capital of the Xi family, was called the ruins of Dahao. In the early Zhou Dynasty, after Shun was granted the title of Manchu, it became the state of Chen. Chen Gui's surname was also one of the three kingdoms of the Zhou Dynasty. The customs were the same as those in the Central Plains. Later, Chen became a vassal of Chu. , the utensils gradually became Chu. During the reign of King Hui of Chu, Chen was finally destroyed and a county was established. Seventy years ago, King Xiangxiang of Chu moved here from Jiangling and called it Chen Ying. Later, he feared Qin and moved to Huainan. During the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, Qin and Chu competed for this place, and it changed ownership several times, eventually becoming Chen County, and Chen Ying also changed its name to Huaiyang."

Because of the special history, the customs of the Xia Dynasty in the ancient Chen Kingdom and the customs of the Chu people who moved eastward blended here, creating the unique Chen-Chu culture.

Zhang Liang is worthy of having been an underground party member in Huaiyang for a long time and engaged in the anti-Qin cause. He showed his great understanding of Chen Di:

"I came from Pei, Chen, Runan, and Nan counties in Huaibei, which is also called Western Chu. The customs in Chen area are Western Chu, and the language is the same as that in Runan and Huaibei. Because many people moved from Jiangling, it can also be the same."

"Its population is prosperous. Ten years ago, Huaiyang City had 35,000 households and 180,000 inhabitants. Now it has experienced wars and many people have fled south with the Chu army. Only 120,000 or 30,000 people are left. Its nature is plagiarism. Light, easy to get angry, thin, less able to accumulate, more light-hearted, good at promise."

"As for the belief, the Chen people later believed in Emperor Shun, while the Chu people who immigrated believed in Donghuang Taiyi, Dongjun, and Da Siming, which were the same as those in Nanjun. Regardless of the immigrants from Chen and Chu, they all believed in Taihao and called him the ancestor of the people. In the temple, all people, old and young, no matter the nobles or common people, offer sacrifices to it.”

"The scholars among them are academically fond of Lao Tzu, and Confucianism has spread to the south. Many of them also worship etiquette and study Confucianism. They are very fond of the literary works of Qu Yuan and Song Yu. It is said that Song Yu moved eastward with the King of Chu at that time, and his "Ask the King of Chu" and "Satire Fu" The six poems "Diao Fu", "Deng Tuzi's Lustful Fu", "Gaotang Fu" and "Goddess Fu" were all written by Chen after he traveled far away."

"In terms of clothing and food, the nobles prefer Chu-style high crowns and long sleeves, while the common people wear Chu-style short clothes, and women like skirts with slim waists."

Heifu listened carefully. He had also stayed in Huaiyang for a while, but he only had a quick glance at the city. His understanding of the city was indeed not as good as that of Zhang Liang, who had been hiding in the alleys for a long time.

But Zhang Liang still didn’t mention Heifu’s problem:

"How to make the other party put down their hostility?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "The key to this is the regent, not Chen."

Heifu frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Whether the Chu people in Huaiyang can let go of their hostility depends on how the regent views Huaiyang and the Chu people. The regent has said that he wants to restore peace to the world, so in the future, in this new world, he plans to bring the Chu people to Where will the millions of people in Chu be placed?”

"It's like how Beidi destroyed Xing and Wei. They slaughtered them and made them slaves and concubines."

"Still be like Qin Shi Huang, who rejected and guarded against the people of Chu and the Six Kingdoms."

"Or maybe it's the third type."

Zhang Liang looked at Hei Fu: "Love everyone but treat everyone equally!"

…

Zhang Liang mentioned a very critical issue, a national policy issue after reunification: Should people of different nationalities in the past be treated equally, or should they engage in "regional oppression"?

Heifu thought of Qin Shi Huangdi.

After the unification, the First Emperor adopted a unified model, abandoned feudalism, and directly ruled all people.

Initially, he hoped that the people of the other six countries would identify with this country. What should he do? He consecrated Zen, traveled around, recruited Confucian and Taoist scholars from the six countries, etc., and even accepted Heifu's suggestion to set up the Jingbian Temple to include Li Mu and other former enemies of Qin in worship.

But it is a pity that no matter what aspect, the results achieved were not very good. This was not only because the people of the Six Kingdoms were ungrateful, but also because Qin Shihuang did not set up a promotion channel for the scholars of the Six Kingdoms.

So in the end, Qin Shihuang wanted to establish the people's identity with the country through war, so he attacked the Xiongnu in the north and the Yuezhi in the west, but all he received was complaints from the distant garrison.

Until later, when he found that no matter what he did, he could not get the people of the Six Nations to agree, he decided to consume them to solve the problem...

The great projects and great conquests continued, with Nanping Lingnan and attacking the Canghai Sea in the east, which indeed consumed the bones and blood of many people from the six countries, but it also caused the war to ignite from the south, and finally burned all over the world.

As a witness, Heifu saw all the hard work, disappointment, and anger of the First Emperor during those ten years.

And what path will he take?

"I have treated the people of Qi, Han and Wei equally and distributed food to them. If the people of Zhao Yan can surrender, I can also pardon them."

"But the people of Chu are different, especially the light knights and scholars of Chu."

"They support Xiang Ji and are the most stubborn. They have become a cancer in this world that must be cut off!"

Creating an enemy and then emphasizing it to form an alliance is what Heifu is doing. In all propaganda and public opinion, he describes Xiang Ji as a great devil and Chu State has become an evil country.

He hoped to transfer the anger of the people of Han and Wei in these troubled years to the Chu State, gather the power of the Central Plains, and eliminate this restored regime as soon as possible.

This rhythm has the potential to expel the Chu State from the Xia Dynasty.

And for the Chu people who stand on their opposite sides, stricter control policies will be implemented after the war...

But Zhang Liang thought otherwise. He said: "Cao Shen is from Chu, Xiao He is from Chu, Han Xin is from Chu, Lu Jia is from Chu, Chen Ying is from Chu, Zhou Chang is from Chu, and Wu Guang is from Chu. Recently, The surrendered Lu Ze, Wang Ling, Yong Chi, etc. must be counted according to their household registration, they are all Chu people!"

"Place of origin does not necessarily determine one's character. Most of the Chu people went to Xiang Ji just because of fear. If they saw that the regent had no intention of annihilation, they would leave Xiang Ji and even turn against Xia Gong. hit."

But Hei Fu said with a straight face: "I am the regent of Qin, and the foundation of my career is the people of Qin. The scars in Xihe have not yet healed, so I cannot give too much leniency and preferential treatment to the people of Chu."

Zhang Liang shook his head: "This crime of Ji and others, if we judge all Chu people on this basis, wouldn't it be like looking at the sky through the holes of bamboo tubes and measuring the sea water with gourds made of shells?"

"What's more, Xia Gong often calls himself a successor. Could it be that he is just a successor of Qin Shihuang?"

This actually surprised Heifu.

"The reason why Xia Gong is Xia Gong is that he should be the lord of all Xia. Chu is no longer a barbarian state in the Zhou Dynasty, but has long been one of the Xia, and it is difficult to let go."

"Therefore, I think that Duke Xia should not only inherit the destiny of Qin, but also the inheritance of the Six Kingdoms, the people of the Six Kingdoms, and the culture and customs of the Six Kingdoms!"

Zhang Liang bowed his head and said: "This is what Qin Shi Huang failed to do. He burned the history of the Six Kingdoms, banned the learning of various scholars, and remained stubborn. But Xia Gong can do it."

"Xia Gong does not love the jade from Kunshan, he does not like the treasure of Sui Sui, he does not like the daughters of Zheng and Wei for his harem, he does not covet the hairpins of Wanzhu, the Er of Fuji, and the clothes of Ajin."

"Xia Gong likes other things."

Zhang Liang seemed to know Hei Fu very well: "You have accepted the strategies of the scholars of the Three Jin Dynasties, the prosperous merchants of Qi Linzi and their desire for profit, and even the Confucianism and ritual music of Zou Lu. You should also accept it. Chen Di, Chu People’s cultural beliefs.”

“Take your people as your own people, only then can you truly unify the world!”

"In other words, whoever stands in this position in the world must do this! Otherwise, it will be in vain to be called Jiye!"

Heifu was silent on his face, but he was very emotional in his heart.

"Is this Zhang Zifang, who founded the Han Dynasty four hundred years ago!?"

Regardless of his ideas, with his mind and knowledge, are he and Zhang Liang, the assassin who wants to assassinate Qin and bring chaos to the world, really the same person?

But this may be the wisdom that has been accumulated after more than ten years of exile, impulse, and reflection.

A person who has subjugated his country has this kind of knowledge, not just standing up and talking without pain in his back.

So for Chen Di and Chu people.

At this time, after the war, what should be done?

Are they, those who speak similar words to Heifu, perhaps the ancestors of hundreds of millions of people in China in later generations, excluded?

still……

Compatible?

"you're right."

Heifu pondered for a while and then said: "Standing in this position, standing at this node, if we cannot inherit the inheritance of the past thousands of years, the contention of hundreds of years, the culture and customs of the seven countries, and the joy of the people, let's have a Summary of the game."

"I am called a successor in vain!"

He stood up and said loudly:

"The bloodline of Yanhuang."

"The Legend of Three Generations."

"The Rite of Zhou."

"Qin's method."

"The culture and customs of the Six Nations, talented people from different origins, and the 30 million people in the world who survived this war."

Heifu shook his big hand and smiled:

"I want them all!"

…

The two talked in depth for a long time, and it wasn't until Zhang Liang left that Hei Fu remembered that the business wasn't finished yet!

"Wait a minute, you haven't said what you can do yet."

Only then did Zhang Liang react and asked with a smile:

"What is the regent wearing?"

Heifu looked down.

Of course these are not Pinru’s clothes.

He was wearing a short Chu uniform that he was accustomed to because he had lived in the south for many years. After all, their Nan County was also a Western Chu...

Heifu understood: "I understand."

Zhang Liang nodded: "Let the Chu people know that the regent has no intention of exterminating the Chu land and Chu people for revenge."

"Let them know, Regent, that he is a Jingchu man!"

"In that war more than ten years ago, there was only one winner in the world, and that was Qin Shi Huangdi."

"The remaining six countries are all losers. Not only are the six kingdoms wiped out, but the people also lose. They originally had expectations, but they failed to get peace and a better life."

"But it's different now."

"Now the Qin people themselves have also lost."

Zhang Liang sighed:

"There is nothing worse than the world being disorderly and devastated. It is worse than the time of Emperor Qin Shihuang! So the people of the world don't actually have too many extravagant aspirations. They just hope to survive without having to fight anymore and live a stable life."

"So, when this battle is over, whether the Koreans or the Chu people, they will just leave their destiny in the hands of a person who can bring peace to the whole world and unite all nine states!"

He expressed his sincere expectations, his expectations for Heifu, and his expectations for the future:

"This time, everyone in Kyushu will be the winner!"
