Chapter 633 The End of the Qi Diao Clan Confucianists! You Can’t Be a Lackey of the Qin Dynasty Just because You Want To!
Qi Diaoli drank another cup of wine, and his voice became deeper: "People are high and low, but justice is not big or small."
"As long as you are chivalrous and do justice, you will have a clear conscience!"
Although he said so, Qi Diaoli's eyes were obviously dim.
They were clearly a group of Confucian scholars who punished evil and helped the weak, but now they had to retreat step by step with the fierce expansion of the Qin Dynasty.
Just because their chivalrous and righteous behavior was considered illegal and criminal in the Qin Dynasty!
And the almost terrifying expansion speed of the Qin Dynasty made Qi Diaoli feel deeply worried.
Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "I have just confessed my wish to you all."
"That is great unification!"
"Even my king can't stop it!"
"I ask myself, I also have the ability to achieve success."
"If I really achieve success in the future, where can the Qi Diao family be righteous?"
"The Confucianists of the Qi Diao family at that time will only be forgotten in the long river of history along with the corpses of many Qi Diao disciples!"
Ying Chengjiao said with certainty.
This is also the hidden worry in Qi Diaoli's heart.
If the Confucianists of the Qi Diao family do not change, this will be the inevitable end of the Confucianists of the Qi Diao family.
The Confucianists of the Qi Diao family can enjoy a great reputation and grow stronger in the Warring States Period because the strength of various countries in the early Warring States Period was not strong.
The Confucianists of the Qi Diao family are fully capable of launching a decapitation operation against the king, and even capable of destroying a small country!
Because of the threat of force, all countries had to treat the Confucian scholars of Qi Diao with courtesy and allow them to be chivalrous and righteous within their own territories.
However, with the development of the times, the national strength of various countries has skyrocketed, and the Confucian scholars of Qi Diao can no longer pose a fatal threat to any country. Naturally, they will be regarded as terrorists who disturb the stability, and will be arrested and sentenced by the courts of various countries while punishing evil and promoting good!
In the future, there will be no ship that can carry the Confucian scholars of Qi Diao!
Qi Diao Li picked up the wine jar and drank several mouthfuls, staring at Ying Chengjiao with his eyes: "Chang'an Jun knows that it is impossible for me, Qi Diao, to enter Qin, let alone to serve as an official."
"Why do you have to provoke me with these words!"
"Although Qin is strong, weren't Qi, Chu, Jin, and Lu strong in the past?"
"The general trend of the world is like the sea and the river, and ups and downs are normal."
"How can Chang'an Jun think that Qin can unify the world just because Qin is now the only strong one!"
Qi Diao Li did his best to deny the possibility of Qin unifying the world.
But Ying Chengjiao laughed.
Because he was afraid of Qi Diao Li!
He was afraid of the future of the Qin Dynasty unifying the world!
Ying Chengjiao did not argue with Qi Diao Li whether the Qin Dynasty had the ability to unify the world. He just smiled and said, "Who said that the Qi Diao family could not enter the Qin Dynasty?"
"Who said that the Qi Diao family could not serve as an official?"
"The ancestors of the Qi Diao family did not set such a rule! The ancient Qi Diao Zi just did not serve as an official."
"Whether it is this general or the Confucian scholars of the Qi Diao family, what we seek is only the happiness of the people, punishing evil and promoting good, and opening a peaceful and prosperous era."
"What does it have to do with serving as an official?"
"Is what this general said right?"
Qi Diao Li frowned slightly, but agreed, "My Qi Diao family does hope to open a peaceful and prosperous era."
Ying Chengjiao said solemnly, "Sir, The king is too far away from the people, and the officials are too close to the people. "
"Now that the Qin Dynasty has annexed many new territories, many officials will be promoted for this purpose."
"Among these officials, there will always be some who break the law and discipline, bully the king and oppress the people."
"If left alone, they will probably become stronger and make people in all places miserable!"
"I think we should invite the Confucian scholars of the Qi Diao family to Qin to supervise the officials!"
Qi Diao Li was stunned and asked in amazement: "Supervise the officials?"
"We?"
"Isn't this the job of the Imperial Censor!"
The disciples of the Qi Diao family would secretly investigate the officials, and if they found corrupt officials, they would assassinate them.
But they have never experienced the legal, reasonable and aboveboard supervision of the officials!
Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "Supervising all officials is indeed the job of the Imperial Censor."
"However, the Imperial Censor has limited manpower, so he can only supervise officials in the court, and at most he can only expand to the Neishi County, but he is powerless to supervise local officials."
"This was not a big deal in the past. After all, my Great Qin only had a few counties in the past, and they were not far from Xianyang City."
"But now my Great Qin territory is thousands of miles away from Xianyang City. How can the Imperial Censor supervise it?"
"If Qi Diaozi also has this intention, I will report to the king and ask the king to open a government office under the Imperial Censor to be responsible for supervising local officials."
"If any official violates the law and discipline, report directly to the king and punish according to the law!"
Before destroying the six kingdoms, the biggest advantage of the Great Qin compared to the six kingdoms was the control of the Great Qin and the utilization rate of the people's power.
But after destroying the six kingdoms, the control of the Great Qin in the territory is not even as good as the former six kingdoms.
Just like the local officials in Guandong ignored the Qin Law and put shackles on the children of criminals who were still infants, and the shackles were not removed until the king's order came in person.
Another example is that Xiang Liang, a murderer, was released casually.
The officials in Guandong treated the Qin Dynasty as nothing and the Qin Law as nothing, but the Qin Dynasty had no way to deal with them, and even didn't know about the chaos caused by the officials in Guandong.
As a result, the officials in Guandong became more and more daring, and the people's resentment in Guandong was enough to soar to the sky!
The establishment of the official supervision system has reached a time when it must be done!
Considering the character and experience of the children of the Qi Diao family, Ying Chengjiao wanted to let these people give it a try.
Even if it doesn’t work, we can still recruit these people to serve as special forces, which is always a win-win!
However, Qi Diaoli frowned: "Does Lord Chang'an want to make my Qi Diao family the hawks and dogs of the court?!"
Ying Chengjiao also stopped smiling: "I will tell Qi Diaozi."
"My Great Qin does not have officials who monitor local areas, nor does it need to monitor local areas."
"After all, regardless of whether local officials oppress the people, they will use the people's strength for my Great Qin to meet the needs of my Great Qin due to the evaluation."
"My Great Qin court does not care whether the people in various places live a happy life!"
"Now, I am worried about the oppression of local officials by the people, so I ask Qi Diaozi to go with me to persuade my king to establish this position."
"As for the so-called hawks and dogs?" Ying Chengjiao said in a truant voice: "Although the children of the Qi Diao family are hawks and dogs, they are not hawks and dogs of the court, but hawks and dogs of the people!"
"Specialize in punishing those corrupt officials who lie on the people and suck the fat of the people!"
Ying Chengjiao made his attitude clear.
It is not that I am flattering you because Qin lacks people.
Rather, I am giving you, the Qi Diao clan, a legal and reasonable opportunity to punish evil and promote good, and give the people of the world a chance not to be oppressed!
For this opportunity, we have to ask for it together!
Qi Diao Li pondered for a while, and shook his head regretfully: "I think what Chang'an Jun is thinking is very good!"
"If there really is such a group of people, all the people will be at peace."
"It's a pity that this is not what the Qi Diao clan wants, and it is not something that the Qi Diao clan can do!"
The series of questions raised by Ying Chengjiao just now are all realistic problems that the Qi Diao clan has to face.
If these problems cannot be solved, the Confucianism of the Qi Diao clan will surely perish.
But if they serve Qin as Ying Chengjiao said, even if the Confucianism of the Qi Diao clan can solve many problems and survive, will the Confucianism of the Qi Diao clan still be the Confucianism of the Qi Diao clan at that time!
Ying Chengjiao's eyes showed disappointment: "Just now Qi Diaozi said: people are high and low, but righteousness is not big or small."
"Therefore, the children of Qi Diao would rather live in a small place and ignore most of the world than go further."
"But I think that righteousness is not high or low, but heroes are big or small."
"The smallest heroes punish evil and eliminate evil!"
"The greatest heroes serve the country and the people!"
"For the old rules and old habits, the smaller heroes are wise and protect themselves."
"For the welfare of the people, the greatest heroes are not stingy with themselves!"
Qi Diao Li was stunned: "The greatest heroes serve the country and the people?"
"The greatest heroes serve the country and the people!"
Heroes are still a vague concept today.
But Ying Chengjiao's words gave the best interpretation to this group!
Those who are willing to sacrifice for the country and the people are the greatest heroes!
And those who stick to the old rules and old habits and ignore most of the people in the world, how can they be qualified to call themselves heroes!
Qi Diao's bronze face turned slightly red. He picked up the wine jar and drank all the wine in it. Then he dropped the wine jar heavily on the table and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance."
"Although I am the patriarch of Qi Diao, I still have to discuss with my clansmen and disciples."
Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "It should be so. I hope Qi Diaozi can give me an answer before sunset today."
"Please also ask Qi Diaozi to tell the children of the clan that if they are willing to supervise local officials for our Great Qin, they must read the Qin Law and act in accordance with the law in the future."
"I will wait for the children of Qi Diao to help me support justice and support the people!"
Qi Diao Li smiled casually: "It should be so!"
The children of Qi Diao are all people who are both civil and military, so why should they be afraid of memorizing a set of Qin Law!
Watching Qi Diao Li leave the big tent, Ying Chengjiao looked at Tian Zhen again.
Tian Zhen coughed lightly: "I have something important to do, so I'll go first!"
Ying Chengjiao was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked: "Does Deputy General Tian want to come to my Great Qin?"
"With Deputy General Tian's ability, he will be granted a title and appointed as a general in the near future!"
Tian Zhen did not listen or answer, and turned and ran!
After running out of the big tent, Tian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "How ridiculous!"
"I am the prince of the Great Qi!"
It's okay to poach talents from Qi in front of the prince of Qi.
Ying Chengjiao even wants to poach the prince of Qi back to Great Qin?
Don't be too outrageous!
What's even more outrageous is that Tian Zhen is tempted!
After all, it was his idol Ying Chengjiao who personally sent out the recruitment!
Who wouldn't be tempted to follow the idol and learn battle formations from him?
Shaking his head, Tian Zhen was about to leave this place of trouble.
But just as Tian Zhen took a step, he saw the curtain being lifted and Ying Chengjiao stepped out.
Behind Ying Chengjiao, there were more than a dozen great scholars and generals.
Tian Zhen had no choice but to bow and say frankly: "Commander, I am the prince of Daqi."
"How can I go to Qin as a general?!"
Ying Chengjiao smiled and said: "No problem, I am not the kind of person who forces others to do things."
"I will ask Deputy General Tian to beat the drum and order the whole army to assemble."
Tian Zhen suddenly became nervous: "The whole army assembles?"
"Is there another war in our army?"
A terrible thought suddenly emerged in Tian Zhen's mind.
Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "It's just that this battle is over, and I should return to Daqin."
"Before leaving, I just want to have a heartfelt talk with the soldiers."
Tian Zhen's nervousness subsided, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Commander, are you sure you want to speak from the bottom of your heart, and not to take my soldiers and their homes back to Qin?
But even if there is such a guess, what can Tian Zhen do!
Tian Zhen could only hand over his hand: "Wei!"
——
Six days later.
A large army arrived at the Huaihe River and prepared to board boats to cross the river.
However, a small wing fleet came galloping from upstream.
Tian Zhen, who had already received the news, rode his horse to the shore, bowed his hands to Xiaoyi and said, "I have seen Chunyu Waishi."
Chunyu Hu jumped off his little wing and quickly returned the salute: "Greetings to Master Zhen."
"May I ask where the Prime Minister is?"
Chunyu Hu's voice was quite urgent.
After all, this army has already reached the Huaihe River. If they continue to go north, they will not be far from Linzi!
Tian Zhen said with some fear: "The Prime Minister Zuo has resigned from the position of Prime Minister Zuo and handed over the seal of Prime Minister Zuo to me and handed it over to the King."
"Two days ago, Lord Chang'an led his troops to the west and returned to Xianyang City."
Chunyu Hu's eyes suddenly widened, and then he laughed heartily: "You are worthy of being the Lord of Chang'an! You are a true believer!"
"We, Da Qi, have just reached an alliance with Qin, and Lord Chang'an has already left!"
However, Tian Zhen did not laugh, but said quietly: "Following Lord Chang'an to march westward, there are eleven great Confucians, seven hundred Confucian scholars, six dragon and tiger warriors, more than fifty thousand lieutenants and generals, and nearly a thousand large and small warships. ship."
"In addition, the Gongyang family has decided to move the entire family to Qin."
"Four clans including the Qidiao clan also decided to send half of their clansmen to join the Qin Dynasty."
"The families of the more than 50,000 soldiers have also set off and are heading towards Xiapi City. They will join Qin General Meng Tian's troops and enter Qin immediately."
Chunyu Hu:! ! !
"Damn it, Lord Chang'an!!!"
