When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 247 Without this crown, the government ruled Daqin like a government

Yongcheng, the former capital of the Qin State, was established in Yongcheng in the first year of Qin De (677 BC) and moved to Liyang in the second year of Qin Xiangong (383 BC). The monarch of the Qin State is in power here, and it is the capital of the Qin State for the longest time.

Yongcheng takes the river as its city, "the city is near the river", and it is the "Qin capital on the water". Zhang Ji has seen a different kind of demeanor.

And when he entered Yongcheng, Zhang Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Different from Yingzheng's turbulent heart, Zhang Jishi, who was secretly playing games with spies and killers from various countries in Shandong, was really a little tired.

Thanks to the help of the endless temptations, Zhang Ji was really tired of coping.But at least on the way to Yongcheng, no accident happened.

Ying Poli's horse walked forward slowly, followed by a group of Habayashi soldiers, and entered the Luquan Palace.And in the Suiquan Palace, the Habayashi Army and the snare killer had already ruled out the hidden dangers in advance.

When Yingzheng stepped into the Liquan Palace, all the Habayashi soldiers behind him dispersed one after another. The cavalry and chariots were stationed outside the city, and the infantry and crossbowmen were stationed in batches at the Liquan Palace where Yingzheng lived and the residence of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji. In the Jiyang Palace, there are snare killers in the dark who are paying close attention to the movements in Yongcheng.

The defense of Yongcheng was taken over by the [-] garrison troops brought out of Xianyang by Wang Jian, and the people who came and went were strictly checked.

In the Luquan Palace, seeing Zhang Ji who accompanied him into the palace and still giving orders to the net killer from time to time, Ying Zheng chuckled, "Mr. Tired this time."

At this moment, apart from the servants and maids, there are only Ying Zheng and him.Seeing no outsiders, Zhang Ji didn't show any hypocrisy, but nodded and sighed: "The spies from various countries in Shandong have tried no less than forty times during the [-]-mile journey. It can be overwhelmed, but it is exhausting to deal with."

"More than forty times?" Rao Yi couldn't help being a little surprised by Yingzheng's heart, "Zheng really didn't expect that the countries in Shandong attach so much importance to this crowning ceremony."

"Perhaps they feel that if the king can't meet the crown ceremony, he won't be able to govern the country. There may still be a battle between the king and Lu Xiangbang inside Qin, which will affect the stability of Qin."

Zhang Ji didn't feel surprised.

For ordinary men, the meaning of crown ceremony is limited to adulthood, but for princes, it is whether they can govern the country in a legitimate way.

It is recorded in "Zhou Li" that the crown ceremony is the capital of adulthood, and it is impossible to rule people without performing the crown ceremony.

Therefore, even a generation of heroes like King Huiwen Yingsi and King Zhao Wuling had difficulty in governing the country because they had not yet been crowned, so naturally there will be no shortage of people who think that Yingzheng cannot be in charge if he cannot perform the crown ceremony.

"Oh, it's ridiculous."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng sneered, his hawk-like eyes became sharper, and he looked at the crown that was not far away: "Even if the crown ceremony is destroyed and Zheng didn't wear it, it's just It's just a crown."

"Without this crown, the government will rule the Great Qin."

Ying Zheng's face was calm, and the majesty and domineering that belonged to Ying Zheng radiated with Ying Zheng's words.

……

After driving for several days, even the energetic Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a look of tiredness on his face, and chose to take a nap.

Zhang Ji naturally also withdrew, but he did not go to see Zhao Ji in Jiyang Palace, but turned his head and left the palace in Yongcheng.

Along the way, Zhao Ji was a little dishonest.

Zhang Ji once mentioned his experience in the carriage with his wives and concubines, but Zhao Ji wanted Zhang Ji to accompany her in the carriage this time to make it ridiculous.

Ying Zheng was in another carriage next to him, and beside him were the Habayashi Army and a group of second-generation generals currently serving in the Habayashi Army, as well as Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and other generals guarding them.

Surrounded by so many people... It's like an old birthday star eating arsenic!

I really don't know what Zhao Ji is thinking.

And at this time, going to the Jiyang Palace where Zhao Ji lives is tantamount to entering the mouth of a tiger.

Although Zhang Ji still remembered the humiliation last time, he still had many things to do.

Outside an exquisite and quiet mansion, Zhang Ji stopped his horse.

There were no guards outside the gate, the gate was closed tightly, and there was no noise coming from it. It seemed that this was an uninhabited mansion.

Zhang Ji slowly opened the door, walked in so grandly, and stopped before a house.

"The leader of the Mohists, Zhang Ji, pays homage to Master Xun."

When the king of Qin State held the crowning ceremony, he naturally invited various countries and schools of thought.

Among them, Confucianism, another great school, is naturally not missing.

However, Confucianism is also very entangled in Qin's invitation.

Confucianism is a supporter of the ritual law. Although Confucianism has been fighting endlessly for the principles and provisions of the ritual law, all Confucian factions will not object to the crown ceremony, which is held by every adult man.

If Yingzheng's crown ceremony is destroyed, it will undoubtedly trample on the etiquette and law, which is naturally unacceptable to Confucianism.

Therefore, if Confucianism entered the Qin Dynasty to observe the ceremony, it was inevitable that they would take action to maintain the order of Yingzheng's crown ceremony.

But Confucianism's attitude towards Qin has always been negative.

Qin did not like Confucianism and advocated law. Compared with Confucianism's enlightenment and ritual music, Qin State believed that law could restrain people's hearts.

Therefore, Confucianists did not enter Qin Dynasty. This was the result of consensus among the various Confucian schools at that time, until Xunzi was invited by King Zhaoxiang to enter Qin Dynasty.

Xunzi's insistence on the evil of nature is in some respects consistent with Qin's belief in the legal system that human nature needs to be restrained.

It was also after Xunzi entered Qin that the relationship between Confucianism and the state of Qin gradually broke the ice. However, it is still difficult for the various schools of Confucianism to have much favor for the state of Qin.

But not entering the Qin Dynasty violated the Confucian concept of maintaining etiquette and law.

Therefore, Xunzi, who had entered the Qin Dynasty, became the candidate to enter the Qin Dynasty negotiated by various Confucian schools.

"come in."

Xunzi's voice pierced through the door, carrying a bit of vicissitudes, but still calm.

Zhang Ji nodded, pushed open the door, and saw this Confucian sage after Confucius and Mencius.

Inside the room, Xunzi was wearing a light blue Confucian robe, kneeling and sitting in front of a chessboard, holding a chess piece in each of his left and right hands, looking down in thought.

After bowing down to salute, without waiting for Xunzi to speak, Zhang Ji took the initiative to sit down and looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard with great interest.

He can play Go to some extent, not very proficient, but he is well-informed, but Zhang Ji has only heard of Xunzi's left-handed and right-handed game of chess in later novels.

Seeing Zhang Ji sitting down directly, Xunzi slightly raised his head to look at this young man who seemed to be a bit rude, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Although he is a Confucian master, he is not a person who is obsessed with etiquette. On the contrary, he actually has a better impression of people who are simple and unrestrained, just like his favorite disciple Han Fei, or his new recruit Disciple Zhang Cang has a free and unrestrained temperament.

Therefore, Xunzi became more interested in Zhang Ji in front of him, and smiled.

"Little friend, how about a hand-to-hand conversation?"
