Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 64: The Mass Attack
"It's about time."

"Go build momentum for Lüshi Chunqiu."

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei gave the order.

He wanted to use "Lüshi Chunqiu" to make eclecticism a prominent school of thought in the world like Confucianism and Taoism!

"promise!"

Lu Qian immediately accepted the order.

He thought Xu Lin should not be underestimated, but Lu Buwei felt that the most urgent matter was Lüshi Chunqiu, and he had no choice!

……

Qi State Linzi.

After dinner, Li Si bid farewell to his teacher Xunzi and left the Jixia Academy with his bag.

King Ying Zheng of Qin is about to be crowned, and it is better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake. Therefore, he must go to Xianyang, Qin State immediately to lend a helping hand to King Zheng of Qin!
"Junior brother."

"Why did you leave without even saying hello?"

Han Fei caught up with Li Si and asked with a smile.

After saying this, he put his arm around Li Si's shoulders and took him to a tavern very close to the academy.

"I thought you wouldn't be back tonight, Senior Brother."

"Didn't I leave you a letter?"

Li Si answered.

"I don't like reading letters."

"After this farewell, I don't know how many years it will take before we meet again. How can I not come and see you off?"

Han Fei squinted his peach blossom eyes and said.

Then he took out a bag of money from his sleeve, threw it to the shop owner, and asked the waiter to take them to the third floor.

Han Fei often came to this tavern to drink, so he was familiar with it.

"Senior brother."

"I'm going to Qin."

"And you are a Korean prince. Next time we meet, I guess you and I..."

After sitting down, Li Si seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

After saying this, he personally poured a bottle of wine for Han Fei.

"It doesn't matter."

"From what I know, Qin State has no shortage of talent. Perhaps even after you arrive in Qin State, you won't be valued by the King of Qin at all."

"If that's the case, you're welcome to come to Korea!"

Han Fei waved his hand disapprovingly.

Then he clinked glasses with Li Si.

After saying that, without waiting for Li Si to respond, he raised his head and started "ton ton ton".

"it is good."

Li Si nodded.

Then he picked up the wine jar and took a big sip of rice wine.

He seldom drinks, so his face turned red after taking a sip.

"Senior brother."

"South Korea has been poor and weak for many years, and this cannot be changed overnight."

"Why don't you come with me to Qin?"

"The King of Qin values ​​talent, and the whole world..."

After three rounds of drinking, the slightly tipsy Li Si put down the wine bottle and asked seriously.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Han Fei.

"I am a prince of Han, how can I serve in Qin?"

Han Fei slammed the table and stood up.

"Why can't the prince of Han serve Qin?"

"Prince Xiong Qi of Chu has served Qin for many years, and it is said that he was even promoted to the rank of Changping a few years ago..."

Li Si asked back.

He was interrupted again by Han Fei before he could finish his words.

"I don't like to destroy my own ambition and boost the prestige of others, but the fact is, Chu is not comparable to Han!"

"Chu has a vast territory and a million soldiers. Even if two, three, or even four Han countries were tied together, they would most likely not be a match for Chu."

"Therefore, Chu can let the prince serve Qin, and Han..."

Han Fei looked towards Han, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

How can Han, the weakest of the six Shandong states, compare with Chu, the strongest of the six Shandong states?
After the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao gradually declined, and now the State of Chu has become the strongest country among the six states in Shandong!

As for Han... let alone compared with Chu, it can't even compare with Wei and Yan!
"Junior brother, although your background is not as good as mine, your ambition is not inferior to mine." "If I enter Qin, you and I will fight in the end."

"Therefore, it is better for me not to enter Qin."

After a brief pause, Han Fei teased with a smile.

"Although Si is not as broad-minded as my senior brother, but..."

Li Si said in a deep voice.

"I was just kidding."

Han Fei smiled.

……

Half an hour later.

Li Si stood up, holding his forehead, said goodbye to Han Fei, and took a carriage to Qin State.

Han Fei wanted Li Si to leave tomorrow, but Li Si said time was running out and speed was of the essence.

After Li Si left, Han Fei picked up the wine pot, drank from it, and looked towards Han.

He had planned to return to South Korea in two years, but he has now changed his mind.

King Zheng of Qin is about to be crowned, and Lu Buwei is most likely no match for Ying Zheng, Xu Lin and others. Once Lu Buwei dies, Ying Zheng will take power himself, and then the Kingdom of Han will be in dire straits!
As a prince of Han, he must return to Xinzheng and carry out reforms before Qin sends troops to destroy Han!
Thinking of this, Han Fei put down the wine jar, leaned over the table and wrote a letter to his teacher Xunzi.

After having the letter delivered to Xunzi's residence, Han Fei simply packed his luggage and returned to Han by car.

……

A month later.

Xianyang, Qin State.

Lü Buwei had the wonderful parts of Lüshi Chunqiu copied down and posted on the east city gate, and declared that anyone who could change one of the words would be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!

At one time, countless people gathered at the east gate of Xianyang.

"To govern a country and the world, one must focus on the basics before the details. The so-called basics do not refer to farming and sowing, but to the people. To focus on the people is not to make the poor rich or the few many. Focus on the basics."

"Nothing is more precious than filial piety. If a ruler is filial, his reputation will be honored, his subjects will obey him, and he will be praised by the world. If a minister is filial, he will be loyal to his lord, honest in his office, and willing to die in times of trouble. If the people are filial, they will work hard in the fields, defend the country firmly, and never give up."

"Filial piety is the fundamental duty of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the guiding principle of all affairs. The key to all state affairs lies in filial piety. He who, by adhering to one technique, can achieve a hundred virtues, dispel a hundred evils, and have the whole world follow him, is the one who practices filial piety."

“This book is so well written!”

The 'Tuo' who was squeezed in the front read aloud and praised at the same time.

"Yes!"

"Every word in this book is a gem. No wonder the Prime Minister promised to reward anyone who could change even one word with a thousand gold coins!"

Another 'Tong' echoed.

Fu Nian and others who came after hearing the news squeezed to the front.

After seeing the contents on the silk, Fu Nian and others became displeased.

"This is what our Confucian sages said. Isn't every word precious?"

"Lü Buwei incorporated the words of our Confucian predecessors into Lüshi Chunqiu without consulting our Confucianists first, which would have been fine, but he actually failed to even indicate that it was his own work. This is blatant plagiarism!"

Zi Hui, a Confucian disciple, was furious.

Once these words were spoken, they caused a huge uproar.

In fact, before Fu Nian came, some people discovered that Lüshi Chunqiu was suspected of plagiarism, but this book was "compiled" by people sent by Lü Buwei, so who dared to speak out?

"Where is Lü Buwei?"

"If you don't give us an explanation today, we will never give up!"

Zihui peeled off the silk cloth stuck on the city gate and said sternly.

After seeing this scene, the guard not far away immediately put his hand on the long sword at his waist.

Upon seeing this, Fu Nian no longer hid his cultivation level, and his majestic and mighty true energy spread out in all directions, causing everyone around him to feel a powerful pressure.

"Go and tell the Prime Minister about this immediately!"

After feeling the pressure, the guard turned around to look at his confidant and lowered his voice.

"promise!"

The Qin soldiers immediately took orders and rode to the prime minister's residence.

"The reason why virtuous men do not travel far across the seas but frequently visit the courts of kings and nobles is not because they seek personal gain, but because they care about the people."

"A benevolent man, in his dealings with his people, can make things convenient for them, and nothing will go unheeded."

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a country that has not perished; there is no country that has not perished, and there is no tomb that has not been praised."

"These are clearly the classic theories of my Mohist school, so why do they appear in Lüshi Chunqiu?"

"As the prime minister of Qin, Lü Buwei not only had people plagiarize Confucian classics, but also plagiarized my Mohist classics. What was his real intention?"

"Do you think that we, the Ru and Mo families, are like fish on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered and humiliated at will?"

After seeing the content about Mohism on the city gate, the Mohist disciples were furious.
