Spring and Autumn I Am King - Chapter 1176

On the carriage, Ximen Bao gritted his teeth and suddenly said to Deng Xi:

“Dali, if, if one day, the law can be restricted to the monarch, so that the monarch cannot abuse the power of amnesty!”

As soon as Ximen Bao said this, he realized that the atmosphere in the carriage was not quite right. Deng Xi did not respond, but just stared at him. After reacting, he covered Ximen Bao’s mouth and opened the four-wheeled carriage. the front curtain to see how the coachman reacts.

Seeing that the driver was still driving the car by himself, as if he didn’t hear anything, Deng Yi was relieved, turned back, grabbed Ximen Leopard’s jacket, lowered his voice and ordered: “Ruzi, you know what you are talking about. ?”

Deng Yi changed from mild to severe, which surprised Ximen Bao. At this moment, when he recalled what he had just said, he couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat, so he could only say in a sullen voice, “Boy, boy…”

Deng Yi has already taught him a lesson: “I thought you were young and smart, and you should understand the essence of Zhao Fa, but it seems that you still don’t understand. Today, the old man will teach you well!”

“When the old man was a lawyer in Zheng State when he was young, he felt that the law of childbirth was flawed, so he wrote a book “Bamboo Punishment”, hoping to spread it in Zheng State through his own strength, but he was arrested by the Zheng State’s ruling, and he was trapped in In prison, I was almost killed! It can be seen that without the support of the monarch, even the good law will be difficult to implement.”

“After coming to the Zhao family, with the protection of the lord, this old man can not worry about the pressure of external rituals, concentrate on the study of the law of the name, test the customs of Zhao, and formulate the “Law of Zhao”. This “Law of Zhao” It is not only our hard work, but also the embodiment of the will of the lords. The lords authorize us to write a document, set it up in the government, and then publish it to the public. If illegal things are suppressed, the law is an empty letter! Just like what happened in Chu, Qin and other countries today, because the politicians have little understanding of the law, the nobles and the common people are full of hostility to the law, Bai Gongsheng and the concubines want to implement it. The new law, but it is very difficult. We are born in the state of Zhao and work under the protection of the prince, this is a great luck!”

Born in the era, it is bound to be restricted by the era. Even though Deng Xi is the first person in the study of the law, his thinking still cannot go beyond the rules and regulations of the supremacy of legalist monarchy in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

“The first chapter of “The Law of Zhao” stipulates that the monarchs and lords will inherit from generation to generation. ‘Things are in the four directions, and they must be in the center; if the sages insist, the four directions will follow.’ Incarnation, you can see what ordinary people have not seen, and know what ordinary people don’t know. Therefore, the law should be based on the ruler, and the ruler must be powerful and powerful in order to carry on the past, to govern the country and the world… Now you want to use the law to override Above the monarchs, it is really putting the cart before the horse, I don’t know what to say!”

Ximen Leopard hurriedly lowered his head: “The boy is young and ignorant, he doesn’t choose words, he knows he’s wrong.”

Deng Yi is still angry. Based on his experience in the past few decades, Ximen Bao’s idea is born out of happiness, but it is no wonder that he grew up in Yecheng, Changpingcang and Yuelai since he was a child. Under the protection of more magpie doctors, there is no famine and disease, and it is unknown how fragile the law is when they leave the Zhao state.

So Deng Yi repeatedly told Ximen Leopard that he must never say such words again, even if he has such thoughts!

“Although Zhao State did not say that he was convicted for his words, but if you commit it again, this old man will still punish you for being a traitor, trying to subvert the crime of the prince!”

Ximen Bao was obedient to his promises, but in his heart, the thought still lingered.

“It is true that the law originates from the will of the lords and lords, but on the other hand, don’t the lords and lords also depend on the law? If there is law, the superior will respect the ruler and the people will rule the country; If this is the case, if one day the law can be completely accepted by the people and become commonplace, will the law no longer need to be attached to the monarchy, but the rulers will have to rely on the law?”

Ximen Leopard’s dangerous thoughts are hidden in his heart, and no one except Deng Xi knows about it. In Changle Palace, after the turmoil calmed down, Zhao Wuxi also welcomed a visitor…

…

“I should have gone to visit alone, how dare I let my grandson move?”

Zhao Wuxi stood outside the Sun Residence Hall in person, and when he saw the figure of the visitor, he wanted to go over to help him, but Sun Wu hurriedly bowed his hands to him and said, “Don’t underestimate Sun Wu, even though I am old, I can still eat it. I can eat several bowls of rice, and I don’t need a dove stick to walk.”

“It would be great if my grandson could add more meals. For Zhao Guo, you are like a treasure.” Zhao Wuxi looked at it. Because of the recurrence of an old injury, Sun Wu, who has lived in seclusion for ten years, still looks very energetic. It seems that A little injury didn’t knock him down.

“I don’t dare to mention the courage of those years.”

After laughing and sitting in the hall with Zhao Wuxi, Sun Wu once again cupped his hands: “I still want to thank Junhou for coming here today, so that I can pardon Wu Feng and leave a little blood for Zixu…”

Although Sun Wu is a soldier, he also attaches great importance to the laws and orders. This is the criterion he ordered the three armies back then, so Wu Zixu entrusted him to him. After Wu Feng, who was adopted by him as his adopted son, avenged the murder, Sun Wu did not come forward to intercede for him, but only made a lot of money. He hired a lawyer, hoping to keep Wu Feng from dying. However, Dali Temple was finally sentenced to death. Fortunately, Zhao Wuxi issued a pardon order, so that Wu Feng did not have to be separated.

For this, Sun Wu is very grateful. For this kind of favor, Wu Feng has been cut off and exiled, and he can’t go back for the time being. He can only go to the palace to thank Zhao Hou.

Zhao Wuchun smiled and said, “If my grandson really wants to thank me, why don’t he come out of the mountains and serve as the master of the martial arts hall, and teach the generals and captains of Zhao State the new tactics of war that have been summed up in the past ten years.”

“This……”

Sun Wu knew that things were not that simple. His lifelong efforts were the two books “Sun Tzu’s Art of War”. The method of warfare, siege and defense, as well as the use of some strategies.

In the first volume, Sun Wu dedicated everything to Zhao Wuxi after Wu Zixu died ten years ago to help him defeat Wu. As for the second volume, people must be selfish. Sun Wu’s children and grandchildren are not very successful, so he passed all those things to Wu Feng, hoping to help him achieve some martial arts and glorify the lintel.

But he didn’t want to, Zhao Wuxi had been staring at the second volume of the Art of War for a long time, because Sun Wu did not hold an official position and traveled outside Zhao’s regime for a long time, so he did not force it. Corrupt the private goods in Sun Wu’s stomach?

Although Zhao Wuxi asked his pen staff to describe the history of the previous battles and tried to come up with a battle routine, he had to admit that the master was a master, the pen staff was basically not familiar with military affairs, and the general staff’s cultural level was generally not high. What they came up with, and the essence summed up by Sun Wu, are vastly different…

What’s more, as the previous generation of officers grew old and died, Zhao State has maintained peace for a long time, and some faults will inevitably appear in the senior officers. After Yu Xi’s death, Beijiang fell into chaos with no one in charge, which is a lesson. What’s more, the great cause of unification has not yet been completed. The war to destroy the country in the future will inevitably be huge. It is impossible for Zhao Wuxi to fight every time. Therefore, there must be some generals who can preside over the overall situation. They are not lacking in experience, but they still need it. A military master, to help them sublime and sublime.

That’s why Zhao Wuxi came up with the idea of ​​opening a martial arts hall and letting everyone in the art of war teach senior officers.

Although there were many strategists who summed up the war very early in China, there were very few systematic military studies. In the former Qin Dynasty, Fujian opened a martial arts hall, but it ended without any results. The era of Wu will soon be discontinued.

Zhao Wuxi hopes that classics such as Sima Fa and Sun Tzu’s Art of War can be passed down, so that the military family can truly survive in the world and be introduced from generation to generation, rather than just a glimpse. s things.

Because he owed Zhao Wuxi a huge favor, Sun Wu couldn’t be proud of himself any more, so he agreed to this matter.

After the conclusion was made, Zhao Wuxi asked again: “The first volume of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, the thirteen chapters, covers a wide range, but there is no boat battle. I have heard a saying that because Wu Tzu’s water warfare is better, so Sun Tzu I just burned the Battle of the Boats, is that so?”

“Ashamed.” Sun Wu smiled: “Zixu did write a piece of “The Art of War in Water”, also known as “Wu Zixu’s Book”. After his unjust death, he passed it on to Wu Feng, and after Wu Feng joined Zhao I gave it to the prince…”

“Yes, the widow has already been published, but unfortunately at that time, the Langya Naval Division was defeated, Langya’s ships were either sunk or captured, and there was an uproar in the government and the opposition, all regarded the Jianshui division as a failure to waste money and food, and the widow had no chance to practice this art of war. already.”

“However, this time is not as good as in the past, the Central Plains have been settled, only the southern Chu and Yue are powerful, and the future wars will inevitably be launched in the south of the rivers and lakes. The boat battle was decided. Just after the fall of the Wu Kingdom, many Zixu’s old troops brought the Wu Kingdom’s navy to vote. It’s time for the widow to build a navy based on them. What advice can Sun Tzu have?”

Sun Wu thought for a while and said: “The prince previously honored the position of Goujian, and he gave the position of the southern uncle who originally belonged to Chu to Goujian, in order to divide the relationship between Chu and Yue. Besides, going south cannot be achieved overnight, fighting between Jianghuai and Huaihe River. The outcome is also unpredictable. Instead of attacking with soldiers, it is better to wait for the Chu State to defeat itself. Now Bai Gongsheng has entered Ying as Zuo Yin, and has begun to implement new laws. , Chu State will be in turmoil because of the new law. Your Majesty is in the Jianghuai Daxing Navy at this time, which is forcing Chu and Yue to unite, and at the same time helping Bai Gong to implement the new law. Especially in the State of Chu, because of the fear of the state of Zhao, the old and the new are divided. The original enmity between the factions will also be put down first, compromised with each other, and humiliated outside…”

“Grandson’s words are very true.”

Zhao Wuxi nodded: “The widow has this kind of worry, so they want to build navy divisions in Jimo and Langya, avoiding Chu Yue’s eyes and ears, and after the navy divisions are completed, they will go south from Huai River to Hangou and enter the Jianghuai battlefield. .”

He smiled and said: “In this way, although Wu Feng is guilty and exiled, he will definitely be able to make up for his shortcomings with the experience of water warfare he inherited from Zixu and make a name for himself!”

Sun Wu thanked Zhao Wuxi for Wu Feng, but still shook his head: “Hundreds of ships must use Jianghuai big wood. With such a big momentum, even if Zhao’s household registration system is strict, I’m afraid it will not be able to hide it.”

“So, the widow also has an idea to paralyze Chu, Yue, and even Qin and Zheng, to make them think that widow has no intention of annexing the princes in the short term, so they have no scruples. “

“Oh? If you want to take it~www.mtlnovel.com~ you must give it first? Or do you want to show that you are weak? But if you think about it, the princes are not stupid. The heart of the princes is after the merger of Lu, Wei, and Zhongshan. , has long been known to the world, and if you want to come out with a strategic deception, I’m afraid it will not be easy.”

Zhao Wuxi smiled: “As long as the acting is real enough, they will believe it. First of all, let the grandson know one thing.”

After clapping his hands, Zhao Wuxi asked someone to bring up a secret report, which was obtained by his spy organization “Black Clothes” from afar.

“This is news about an old friend of mine.”

Zhao Wuxi opened the secret report and handed it to Sun Wu. Sun Wu glanced at it with surprise.

“Chen Heng… found it?”

ps: “Taiping Royal Survey. Military Department forty-six. “Water Battle” quoted “Yue Jue Shu” as saying: “Wu Zixu’s “The Art of Water Warfare”, a large wing, six feet wide and twelve feet long, accommodates twenty-six soldiers, fifty soldiers, and three boats. There are four officials with long hooked spears and axes, one servant each with a long shot, all ninety-one people should have four long hooked spears and long axes, thirty-four arrows each with crossbows, and thirty-two each with three thousand three hundred armors and pockets. “
