Green hills and pine and cypress.

Ying Quliang pondered carefully, "What a beautiful example of a green mountain with pines and cypresses. It's true that although people in later generations are sometimes unreliable, they can really keep their word and keep their promises in some matters."

Shang Yang was also very satisfied.

[The only princess guarding the country: Why is this? ]

Princess Taiping also liked this title.

She turned her head and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, if we had a nickname for each other, what would it be?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "I don't know, but I think it should be beautiful."

Wu Zhao glanced at the two of them and said jokingly, "I think you can be called a hedgehog fox."

Taiping stamped his feet angrily, "Mother Queen, you are bullying your son again!"

Zhou Jia smiled a little perversely, "Because in the Qin Empire, this monarch and minister said this: 'You are like the green mountains, and I am like the pine and cypress. We share the same heart and mind, and will always be bosom friends.' After that, green mountains and pine and cypress became synonymous with Ying Quliang and Shang Yang."

It turned out to be the case.

Ying Quliang was very happy and said with a smile: "It seems that our descendants still like us very much."

Shang Yang was also happy and wanted to see how wonderful the Great Qin Empire that Zhou Jia described was.

In the world after Shangguan Wan'er's death, Princess Taiping couldn't help but murmur: "For thousands of years, the sound of pepper flowers will be sung."

I don’t know if future generations will see this sentence?

"Back to the topic, after the first reform, the Qin State began to grow stronger. In 358 BC, the Qin State defeated the Han State. The following year, the Qin State and the Chu State formed an alliance.

After this, the relationship between Qin and Chu can be said to be harmonious yet tense. There were many Chu women in the harem of the Qin monarch. The more well-known ones were Queen Dowager Xuan and the later Queen Dowager Huayang.

Also, since the Records of the Grand Historian does not record Prince Fusu's mother, many people speculate that Fusu's mother may also be from Chu. Most of the later Qin kings had Chu blood, and the girls from Chu who married into the Qin State almost all became queens. Tsk, the interests and blood ties between Qin and Chu are really deep."

Mi Bazi felt a little sleepy and yawned. "It seems that many people have followed in my footsteps."

This sounded a bit derogatory. Ying Si glared at her and asked, "Why, is marrying me wronging you?"

"A little bit. It's boring staying in the temple all day." God knows she used to love sneaking out to play.

Ying Si snorted coldly, didn't bother with her, and turned to look for Zhang Yi.

Ying Zheng felt a little helpless. He really didn't understand why later generations were so interested in them.

His eyes turned to his son below.

Just because he had a gentle personality, he died early?

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

Fusu didn't expect that there was something about his mother involved here, and he couldn't understand why someone would care about who his mother was.

"Well, actually...it's mainly because Brother Zheng is a little famous. Everyone is curious about whether Brother Zheng has any women he likes. Because when it comes to Brother Zheng, his harem is not very popular. In addition, Fusu has a gentle personality and died early, so everyone is curious."

Someone asked this question in the comments.

Zhou Jia answered with a helpless smile.

Gossip!

People of all dynasties thought of this word at the same time.

Ying Zheng: Why is it always my fault? Can't you descendants think more about others?

"Well, a more important event happened later. In 355 BC, Ying Quliang and King Hui of Wei met in Duping, east of Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province. This changed the long-standing impression that the Qin State would not meet with other vassal states.

Everything is moving in a good direction, but as the saying goes, when there are no problems, it means that problems are on the way, right, Si Ge~"

The young Ying Si received two gazes from his father and Shang Yang at the same time.

"My son, I know my mistake."

Zhou Jia had briefly mentioned before that Ying Si broke the law knowingly after the new law was implemented, causing his teacher to be punished.

King Qin Ying Si was not afraid because he had no one above him, but his expression was not too good either.

Who taught her to yell "四鹅"? When will you descendants be more reliable?

Ying Ji and others: I don’t understand, I don’t understand…

Li Shimin sighed, "Every family has its own problems."

"To put it simply, when the whole Qin State was following the example, the Crown Prince Ying Si, who should be the most exemplary prince in the royal family, broke the law. The "Records of the Grand Historian: The Biography of Shang Yang" records: After the order was implemented by the people for a year, thousands of people in the capital of Qin complained that the order was inconvenient. Then the Crown Prince broke the law. Wei Yang said: "If the law is not enforced, it is the upper level that violated it." He was going to punish the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is the heir to the monarch, so he cannot be punished. Punish his tutor Gongzi Qian and tattoo his teacher Gongsun Jia.

After the prince broke the law, Shang Jun believed that the law could not be implemented because the upper class did not obey the law. The prince must be punished, but because he was the heir, he could not be punished, so he punished his two teachers.

Zhou Jia said with a hint of sarcasm, "So, the so-called emperor is guilty of the same crime as common people is all false. Even if the princes and nobles really break the law, as long as your status is noble enough, in the end, they will not bear the bitter consequences, but others will bear the consequences. In short, this statement is bullshit."

Very realistic words.

The princes and nobles sneered at them. With their noble status, how could those grassroots people compare to them?

The people of all dynasties are numb.

No resentment, no hatred, it's just that they were born into a bad family.

Some nitpickers are trying to stir up trouble. "The status of the crown prince is the most precious. If his face is injured, it will bring shame to the country."

Furthermore, how can the people trust a monarch who has a stain on his character?

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you'd better protect your emperor and crown prince very, very well. It's best to cover his eyes and shut his mouth and only let him see the country's prosperity and the people's strength. Let them know how prosperous and happy the people are under their leadership."

Zhou Jia was too lazy to reply.

The comments are still controversial.

After all, Crown Prince Ying Si is still young and a little embarrassed.

Ying Quliang sighed.

He had been beaten and scolded before. As mentioned above, if torture was really carried out and the King of Qin was injured, it would naturally be a disgrace to the Qin State.

Although it doesn’t look good now.

Zhou Jia passed on this topic.

"As everyone knows, the capital of Qin was in Xianyang. This was also done by Ying Quliang. He moved the capital from Liyang to Xianyang. After Ying Si's crime was settled, he ordered Shang Yang to start a second reform in the country. The more important content this time was: opening up fields and borders, abolishing the well-field system, and allowing private land transactions.

After these two reforms, Qin became an unprecedentedly powerful country. Stimulated by the military merit system, the people had a strong fighting spirit. After several generations of kings, it became what we call a war machine.

It's still a bit beautified.

Ying Zheng had read many books about their Great Qin and knew that many people said that their Great Qin was militaristic and would not last long. Compared with these four words, Zhou Jia's so-called war machine was really nothing.

But Ying Zheng himself didn't think so. After he understood these four words, he felt that there were some differences between them and their Great Qin.

Ying Quliang and the others listened attentively.

Prince Ying Si asked curiously, "If Shang Jun was in A Zheng's time, would he be able to help A Zheng reform again and find a path suitable for the future development of the Qin Dynasty?"
