Chapter 116 The Art of Renjun's South Face (5000)
The scene of last night is still vivid in his mind, and Zhang Beichen has endless aftertaste.
He looked aside, Ying Yiren was fast asleep. Her hair was disheveled, her fragrant shoulders were slightly exposed, and her pretty face added a bit of charm.
Zhang Beichen looked at her quietly, and saw that her long eyelashes seemed to be moving.
"Pretending to be asleep?" Zhang Beichen laughed secretly.
Ying Yiren had already woken up, but she didn't know how to face the situation. Thinking of what happened last night, Ying Yiren was still shy.
How could I do such a thing...
Zhang Beichen stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh around her waist. Ying Yiren immediately opened her eyes and said in embarrassment, "You're still messing around!"
Zhang Beichen smiled and said, "Yi Ren, so you're awake!"
Ying Yiren covered her body with the quilt and said, "It's all your fault, it's already noon now. I don't know what to do if I didn't go to court!"
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother will definitely take care of it!" Zhang Beichen said confidently.
"Grandmother really..."
Zhang Beichen picked up Ying Yiren and said, "Yiren, let's go, take you to dinner for my husband!"
"Don't do this!" Ying Yiren said no, but her body did not resist.
"You said last night, don't do anything excessive!" Ying Yiren pointed to the blood on the bed sheet.
"Woof!" Zhang Beichen yelled.
Ying Yiren blushed and spat, "Shameless!"
...
After Zhang Beichen and Ying Yiren finished washing, Mi Ji was already waiting for them to eat.
Seeing the two of them, Mi Ji smiled and said, "Today I specially prepared some spiritual ginseng and venison for you to nourish your body."
"Grandmother, you..." Ying Yiren wanted to complain about Mi Ji, but didn't know what to say.
Zhang Beichen was generous, saying: "The empress dowager is kind, but the minister is disrespectful."
"Good boy, be refreshing!" Mi Ji picked up a piece of venison for him, and said, "Zhang Beichen, you have to treat Yiren well in the future!"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will help you build a strong and prosperous Qin State!" Zhang Beichen said.
Ying Yiren thought to herself: "You say so well, but I don't know how many women are still thinking about in my heart!"
Thinking of this, she felt jealous.
...
After breaking through the relationship between Zhang Beichen and Ying Yiren, they became closer together.
If it was Wei Yao, it is estimated that he would drag Zhang Beichen every day to not go to court early. But Ying Yiren was still thinking about state affairs, and just rested for a few days, and then started to go to court every day.
Another month passed quickly, and the simulator was still cooling down.
...
South Korea, in the Palace of the King of Han.
Han Mengshu admired her body in the mirror. She used to be obsessed with her beautiful body, but now, she just feels empty inside.
"The life without Zhang Beichen is too difficult!" Han Mengshu put on her clothes, thinking in her heart, since Wei Yao can "abduct" Zhang Beichen to Wei State, she must find a way to let Zhang Beichen come to Korea .
Wei Yao used Wei's national power to coerce and lure Ying Yiren.
South Korea does not have that condition, but Han Mengshu thought of a way.
...
On the simulator, Han Mengshu sent a private message to Ying Yiren.
Han Mengshu: "Sister Yiren, the businessman who recently ordered a crossbow in South Korea is actually from Qin, right?"
Recently, a group of businessmen ordered a large number of crossbows in South Korea.
Han Mengshu has always been very clear about this. Businessmen from various countries are backed by nobles and monarchs from various countries.
Because Qin State needed to expand its armaments, it secretly found someone to buy weapons.
Ying Yiren: "What do you want to do?"
Han Mengshu: "Sister Yiren, you need to know. Wei, South Korea, and Zhao have signed an alliance, and they are not allowed to sell weapons to you, Qin!"
Ying Yiren: "Stop threatening me with this, isn't that what you are doing?"
Han Mengshu: "Although the business can be done, my sister has a condition!"
Ying Yiren knew that if the other party mentioned this matter for no reason, he must have something on his mind.
"Let's talk, except for Zhang Beichen, you can talk about everything else." Ying Yiren replied directly.
Han Mengshu: "It's about Zhang Beichen!"
Ying Yiren resolutely refused: "That's nothing to talk about! At worst, I don't want these bowmen!"
Han Mengshu: "Yiqu country also buys bows and crossbows from my sister. If my sister doesn't want it, then my sister has to sell it to King Yiqu. What a pity. In fact, my sister would rather sell it to Qin!"
Ying Yiren can't wait to catch Han Mengshu's green tea as a small whip. He is a majestic king of Qin and is always threatened by others!
"What exactly do you want?" Ying Yiren asked.
Han Mengshu said: "Sister, don't be nervous. My sister just wants to borrow Zhang Beichen for a month. I have encountered problems with the reform in Korea. Please ask Zhang Beichen for a small favor. Sister Yiren is so generous, she will definitely not refuse, right?"
Ying Yiren knew that the other party must be thinking about Zhang Beichen!
She refused: "Impossible! Even if you sell the bow and crossbow to the Yiqu country, the widow will not agree!"
Han Mengshu continued to reply: "Sister Yiren, don't be angry. My sister promises not to do anything to Zhang Beichen!"
"Impossible!" Ying Yiren still refused.
Han Mengshu: "My sister can give this batch of bows and crossbows to Qin State without charging a penny! In addition, I will also give you a hundred sets of armor and harness!"
Seeing Han Mengshu's words, Ying Yi was moved!
Although Qin State has started forging ironware, the forging industry is not as developed as South Korea after all! How much time and money would it take to forge these things?
Qin State is already poor now, if it can get this batch of crossbows, armors and harnesses for free, whether it is resisting the Hu people or dealing with the Rongdi tribe and the Yiqu country in the future, the chances of winning will be a little bit higher!
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Han Mengshu said, "In a month's time, my sister will definitely send Zhang Beichen back to Qin State safe and sound!"
Ying Yiren finally let go: "Okay, this is what you said!"
Han Mengshu swore: "My sister is also a monarch, she will never say anything!"
Ying Yiren thought to himself: "Mr. Beichen, I can only let you go on a mission. There is nothing I can do, she has given too much!"
...
"Mr. Beichen, you are going to South Korea on this trip, and you must bring back the weapons and equipment we ordered!" Ying Yiren urged Zhang Beichen.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll leave it to my ministers!" Zhang Beichen vowed, but he couldn't guarantee it to other kings.
For Han Mengshu, isn't that easy to handle? If she disagrees, she will be whipped directly!
Ying Yiren hesitated to speak, and finally bit his lip and whispered in Zhang Beichen's ear, "Mr. Beichen, you must be careful of Han Mengshu, she must have plots against you!"
Zhang Beichen nodded solemnly, and then he took Qin's envoys and set off for South Korea.
...
Zhang Beichen's envoy's trip went smoothly. When he arrived at the border of South Korea, he was greeted by South Korean envoys with people, and escorted all the way to Xinzheng, the capital of the country.
In the palace hall, Han Mengshu personally received Zhang Beichen.
On the throne, Han Mengshu wore a long snow-white dress, with an elegant posture and a holy face.
Zhang Beichen recognized at a glance that her attire was the attire she wore when they met for the first time in the simulated time and space!
"Qin envoy Zhang Beichen, pay homage to King Han." Zhang Beichen shouted.
"Zhang Qing doesn't need to be too polite." Han Mengshu said, "Zhang Qing's name is well known in Korea!"
"Now that Zhang Qing is coming to Korea, if you have any suggestions, just say it's okay!"
"Thank you King Han." Zhang Beichen recalled politely.
In the Korean court, the courtiers were also looking at Zhang Beichen.
They naturally knew Zhang Beichen's name. He reformed in Qin State and defended Qin State against foreign enemies. Then he went to Wei State as an envoy, and was named the prime minister by the king of Wei! In this world, he is considered a man of the hour!
"He is Zhang Beichen!" A thin and thin courtier stared at Zhang Beichen. He is the prime minister of South Korea. Shen Buwang!
Like Zhang Beichen, Shen Buwang is also a disciple of Legalism, and now he is presiding over reforms in South Korea.
People all over the world often compare him with Zhang Beichen, thinking that he is inferior to Zhang Beichen.
Shen Buwang was dissatisfied, he thought his reform method was better than Zhang Beichen's! Now that he has the opportunity, he would like to compete with Zhang Beichen.
Another general in the court, South Korean general Bao Ying, was also looking at Zhang Beichen.
Storm Eagle had no hostility towards Zhang Beichen, he was just curious about Qin Jun. He heard that Zhang Beichen had invented some new weapons.
As we all know, South Korea's weapon manufacturing is very developed, Storm Eagle is also proficient in this, and wants to communicate with Zhang Beichen.
...
Zhang Beichen settled down in Xinzheng, and first went to contact the batch of bows and crossbows customized by Qin State.
Han Mengshu didn't break the appointment, and asked the craftsmen to deliver the bows and crossbows one by one, but the promised armor and other items needed time to forge, so Zhang Beichen needed to stay for a while.
During the period, Han Mengshu also summoned Zhang Beichen several times, but because they were foreign envoys and the monarch of their own country with different identities, neither of them had too in-depth communication.
...
Today, it was the day of going to court again, and Zhang Beichen was also standing in the court hall.
South Korean Prime Minister Shen Buwang came out and said to Han Mengshu: "Your Majesty, the position of engineer has been vacant for a long time, and I recommend Shen Lie for this position!"
The engineer is the chief engineer.
Since South Korea started forging ironware, it has earned a lot of money from various countries through the sale of ironware. The official position of an engineer naturally became a favorite!
Everyone knows that as long as you become an engineer, it is easy to make money!
Many people coveted this position, and so did Shen Buwang.
Han Mengshu asked: "Shen Lie, what talents and achievements does he have?"
Shen Buwang said: "Shen Lie has no merits, but he is good at business. If he is appointed as an engineer, he will definitely be able to expand the iron trade and benefit Korea!"
Han Mengshu continued to ask: "Then what is his relationship with you?"
Shen Buwang bowed slightly and said, "Shen Lie is my cousin."
Shen Buwang was not ashamed to recommend his cousin, but felt it was right. He had made so much contribution to Korea, what happened to letting his relatives and friends become officials?
In this era, nobles recommended and supported each other.
Shen Buwang originally thought that Han Mengshu would agree to his request, because Han Mengshu was very supportive of him during the political reform and obeyed!
But this time, Han Mengshu frowned slightly and said, "Since he has no achievements, how can I give him an official position?"
When Shen Buwang heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he showed dissatisfaction without any concealment on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't avoid your relatives when you are a virtuous person. I also think about South Korea."
Seeing this, Han Mengshu was even more unhappy. It is true that he reuses Shen Buwang's reform, but it does not mean that he can direct his own behavior. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Shen Buwang lived too comfortably in Korea, and it is time to beat him!
She said to Zhang Beichen, "Zhang Qing, what's your opinion on this?"
With just one look from her, Zhang Beichen understood, and said, "Mr. Han's words are absurd."
"As far as I know, the Han Dynasty changed the law and advocated the distribution of official positions based on merit. Now you ask the king of Han to appoint an official to your brother who has no merit. Do you want the king of Han to agree to your request and abandon your theory? Or promote your Do you want the King of Han to refuse your request?"
These days, Han did not forget to see that Zhang Beichen didn't make any moves, so he relaxed his vigilance towards him, who knew that when Zhang Beichen said this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
If he insists on asking Han Wang to appoint an official for his cousin, then his claim will be destroyed, which is equivalent to breaking the law!
He hurriedly said to Han Mengshu: "Your Majesty, the minister is too confused. Your Majesty is wise!"
Han Mengshu nodded slightly.
She said again: "Prime Minister, you are a disciple of Legalism. Zhang Qing also practiced Legalism. You reformed in South Korea and Qin respectively. In that case, why don't you communicate with each other. Let the widow know how to reform better. Make the country rich and strong!"
When Han Mengshu said this, Shen Buwang immediately became interested. He had long wanted to argue with Zhang Beichen, so that the world would know that he was no worse than Zhang Beichen, and even surpassed Zhang Beichen!
Shen Buwang looked back at Zhang Beichen, and said, "I thought Mr. Zhang's reform has merits, but the direction is wrong!"
"Oh?" Zhang Beichen was not angry when he was denied when he came up, and asked, "I also ask Prime Minister Han for advice."
Shen Buwang proudly said: "You advocated in the Qin State that those who rule by law should not be discriminated against, nor should they be distinguished by high or low. They must be judged by the law! This statement is so absurd!"
"Nowadays is a time of great controversy, rituals and music are broken, and the legal system is chaotic. It often happens that ministers kill kings in various countries! If legislation is to be made, the monarch must be allowed to kill lives, and the ministers' abilities must be taught!"
"The monarch uses techniques to control the officials, so that the ministers will not kill the emperor! If, as you said, the law does not distinguish between high and low, then there will be people with evil intentions who will threaten the monarch! A rebellious party will threaten the country!"
Zhang Beichen was not in a hurry to refute, and asked, "Then what is the technique that Prime Minister Han said?"
"Of course it is the art of Renjun's southern face!" Shen Buwang proudly said, he was waiting for Zhang Beichen to ask this question, this is the essence of his painstaking research!
"Please elaborate." Zhang Beichen asked him to continue performing.
Shen Buwang continued: "The south is respected, and the king is king in the south. The so-called art of the king in the south is the way of governing the country, the art of the emperor, and the art of ruling the world!"
"If the monarch wants to secure the throne and rule the world, he must learn the law of governing the people and the art of driving out officials! Use the rule of law to manage appointments, and use power to manage officials! In this way, the world will be stable and the monarch will be king!"
"According to my technique, the king can rule the world with one word!"
Everyone nodded after listening, and even Han Mengshu agreed in his heart. As a king, who wouldn't want to have absolute control over the country?
However, Zhang Beichen laughed loudly and said, "President Han's statement is ridiculous!"
"According to the technique you mentioned, the ruler can arbitrarily decide the court by himself. This is not only not a good thing for the world, but a bad thing!"
"Nonsense!" Shen Buwang scolded angrily, "Only traitors would think so!"
Zhang Beichen continued: "According to what you said, all major events in the world are decided by the king alone. How can the king ensure that he makes the right choice every time?"
Shen Buwang said: "If a monarch practices the art of being a monarch, he can also become a wise monarch and make the right choice!"
"You are imagining!" Zhang Beichen retorted, "Even the ancient sages dare not say that they will never make mistakes!"
"If the king makes a mistake and no one dares to raise objections, it will cause great harm to the country!"
"This kind of situation can't happen!" Shen Buwang was still stubborn.
Zhang Beichen said with a smile, "What's impossible? Let me ask you, what will happen if you, the King of the Southern Facing Technique, were used by the King of Wei?"
Everyone in the world has heard about Wei Wang's style of work. Shen Buwang just thought about it, and his face turned pale. If Wei Yao was allowed to arbitrarily decide the court, the whole country would be in disaster!
"Ah Choo!" At the same time, Wei Yao, who was far away in the Wei Kingdom, suddenly sneezed, "Who is speaking ill of this king behind his back, don't let this king catch you!"
At this time, Han Mengshu also helped Zhang Beichen and said: "I can't guarantee that I will make the right choice every time."
"This..." Shen Buwang sweated on his brow, and he suddenly realized that his idea was not completely correct.
Zhang Beichen continued: "According to your rule of law, it will only lead to one result. That is, if one word is upright, the world will be settled, and if one word is relied on, the world will fall!"
"Governing the country like this will lead the country into the abyss sooner or later!"
Shen Buwang was already trembling all over at this time, Zhang Beichen had already broken his spell, and a fatal flaw was found in his healing technique!
Zhang Beichen continued: "The law is not noble, the ministers are not evaded by punishment, and the good ones are not spared!"
As soon as Zhang Beichen finished speaking, the words he spoke turned into gold characters and fell on the pillars of the main hall, and the surface of the pillars also turned into a layer of beautiful jade!
"Golden rules and jade rules!" Shen Buwang heard that Zhang Beichen wrote the "Fa Jing" in Qin State, which reached the golden rules and jade rules. I didn't expect such a spectacle to appear again today!
In the main hall, there seemed to be a phantom of a great sun rising, and everyone could hardly open their eyes.
South Korea worships the sun, and the sun is their totem symbol!
The brilliance of the great sun shrouded Zhang Beichen's body, and the dharma body behind Zhang Beichen changed. It grew taller and became a little giant.
"Faxiang Realm!" Someone exclaimed, "He bathed in the power of national destiny and achieved the fifth realm!"
Although the fifth level has just stepped into the ranks of masters, it is not uncommon in all countries! But Zhang Beichen absorbed the power of Korea's national destiny, and everyone was very envious.
Shen Buwang knelt on the ground, staring in a daze at the phrase "Punishment does not evade ministers, and rewards do not spare people". He thought that his method of governing the country was the right way, but today's debate made him realize that his method was letting South Korea walk a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would fall to pieces.
Shen Buwang bowed to Han Mengshu: "Your Majesty, I have gone astray through the reform and almost lost the country. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Thanks to baka_shu for the rudder master.
