Tongguan, Hanting's military camp.

At this time, Han Tingzhi received a letter from Zhou Tai. After reading it, he looked solemnly, looked at Lu Xiaoxian beside him, and said, "I really got it wrong by Xiaoxian. The problem in Youzhou was brought by Zuo Houde. Zhou Tai came to report that Zuo Houde had occupied Youzhou!"

Lu Xiaoxian just nodded. Before he could speak, Gongsun Yin, who was beside him, said, "Lord, Qingzhou, Hanzhou?"

Han Tingzhi sighed and said, "It's not clear. Zhou Tai said he was sending someone to inquire about the news, but he thought he had fallen into Zuo Houde's hands! After all, if it weren't for Qingzhou and Hanzhou, Zuo Houde wouldn't have arrived in Youzhou so quickly. Besides, even Youzhou Zuo Houde was captured within one day, let alone Qingzhou and Hanzhou!"

Gongsun Yin exclaimed, completely devoid of his former spirit: "One day? How is it possible! Youzhou is Hong Zaixing's nest. Even if our army attacks, we can still hold a stalemate for several months!"

Han Tingzhi vented his anger slightly and said, "Zhou Tailai reported that Zuo Houde used a new type of siege equipment! The attack distance is no less than that of a catapult car. What is even more rare is that it is easy to carry, and its power is far greater than that of a catapult car!"

The three of them discussed for a while. When Lu Xiaoxian and Gongsun Yin retreated, Han Tingzhi looked in the direction of Youzhou and sighed deeply!

"I hate that I am pressing the golden thread every year, making wedding clothes for others"

Both Hong Zaixing and Han Tingzhi did not take Zuo Houde too seriously. First, Dingcheng is not in good condition. At the junction of the two countries, it is difficult for Han Tingzhi to develop!

Second, both Han Tingzhi and Hong Zaixing regard each other as their last rivals and subconsciously ignore Zuo Houde. Of course, it cannot be said that. In Han Tingzhi's view, it is best to win over Zuo Houde.

If you can't, staying will also be a trouble for Hong Zaixing. When Hong Zaixing is solved, it will be easier to deal with Zuo Houde!

To be honest, whether it is Hong Zaixing or Han Tingzhi, it seems unnecessary to give face to Zuo Houde.

But in fact, there are still ethnic minorities such as Nanyue and Nanman in the south, Wuhuan, Turkic tribes, Mount Tai, thieves, bandits, Western Liang and Liang people, and Shu kings! The strength of these people is not inferior to Zuo Houde, but neither Hong Zaixing nor Han Tingzhi took these people seriously!

The world has never been pacified, but it is undoubtedly the only one in Da Yan and the Ming Dynasty. For the rest of the small characters, it is still the main focus!

However, Han Tingzhi did not expect that a "little person" like Zuo Houde could swallow the elephant with a snake, and directly swallow Hong Zaixing's northern border in the southeast!

"Zuo Houde! What a Zuo Houde, I underestimated the heroes of the world!" Han Tingzhi murmured!

Of course, Han Tingzhi did not lose his gains in this battle, at least Guanzhong was already included! But thinking that he could have unified the north and south this time, Han Tingzhi felt a pity, but he didn't expect Zuo Houde to take advantage of the chaos!

Of course, Han Tingzhi's pity was that in a moment, Han Tingzhi's true lord nature accepted reality in a short time, sat in the tent, wrote a letter to Jiang Ruoxue who was staying in Jiangling, telling him the situation here.

At the same time, he wrote a letter to Zhou Tai, asking him to withdraw his troops back to Jiujiang. At this time, Zhou Tai was useless to stay in Youzhou!

Han Tingzhi did not plan to fight Zuo Houde next time. After his soldiers and Hong Zaixing fought in the last battle, they were exhausted and exhausted. What's more, Han Tingzhi did not underestimate the new weapons in Zhou Tai's letter. After all, Zuo Houde could rely on such things to conquer Youzhou City in one day!

Besides, Han Tingzhi didn’t know much about Zuo Houde’s background, and even didn’t know how many Zuo Houde’s soldiers were? It’s better not to take action before you figure it out!

So Han Tingzhi sent an envoy to Youzhou again - to negotiate peace ceasefire

...

Of course, at this time, Zuo Houde's idea was the same as Han Tingzhi - a temporary ceasefire!

First of all, Zuo Houde just conquered the three states. What he needs most now is to accumulate energy and thoroughly digest it. Zuo Houde had an officer system before, and it would be fine if the southeast was a place, but these three states were almost half the world, but the officer system could not be done!

It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. Now Zuo Houde is the lord of the northern border, so he must also consider the issue of governing the world.

As for attacking the south, it is still not the time to come. Zuo Houde's foundation is still too small. It would be fine if the southeast can take advantage of the chaos and swallow the north!

The world is still too big. Zuo Houde lacks both troops and talents, and everything is lacking!

In this way, the two sides reached an agreement on their opinions.

This year, the founding emperor of Dayan, Hong Zaixing, died in the battlefield, and the Dayan regime, which was founded in the 13th year of the founding of the country, was announced to the end!

The Hong clan, who had been entrenched in the north for 70 years, withdrew from the stage of fighting for the world.

As for the Hong clan, Zuo Houde did not kill them all, but moved their entire clan to Dingcheng and put them under house arrest!

In the same year, Zuo Houde established a country in Dingcheng and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Qi and the year was named Dingding!

...

The capital of Daqi, Dingcheng, the imperial palace.

Zuo Houde looked at the four or five scholars in front of him. These people were all wearing mysterious ink robes, each with solemn and dignified faces, and he respected Zuo Houde very much!

These people are disciples of the Legalists. Since they founded the country and became the lord of the North, Zuo Houde's talents gradually increased, and the disciples of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Law also rushed to Dingcheng to tell Zuo Houde about their political propositions!

These days, Zuo Houde is also listening to the opinions of various schools. The Confucian Gongsun Confucian Confucian, the Legalist Li family Dana, the Taoist Huang clan, and Zuo Houde have also asked them to explain one-on-one!

Of course, besides these three schools of ecology, there are other schools, such as farmer, doctor, Mohist, Yin-Yang family..., and all sent their proud disciples to come.

Zuo Houde has also received courtesy. Of course, after nearly a month of research, Zuo Houde finally chose the school he was most satisfied with - the Legalists!

The leader of the Legalists this time was Li Yan, a descendant of Li Si. He was in his early forties and rushed from Jiangling to Dingcheng with dozens of disciples. Now he is in front of Zuo Houde!

Zuo Houde looked at Li Yan and said, "Master Li, you may talk to me about the laws of the pre-Qin emperor's rule!"

Li Yan naturally had no choice but to say with a sacred face, "Since Shangzi entered Qin, he proposed that 'there is different in governance, so the country did not rule the ancients. Tang, the king of Wu, prospered without following the ancients; Yin and Xia were destroyed, and they were not easy to prosper. However, those who opposed the ancients may not be wrong, and those who followed the rituals were not large enough.'

Later, the wood was established as trust and began to reform the law. Since then, the pre-Qin and six generations have always respected the law. After six generations and a hundred years, our Legalists have gradually developed a complete political system. Let me tell Your Majesty!…”

In this way, Li Yan began to talk about the legal system in the pre-Qin period.

"Mr. Shang said: If you abolish the rebellious travel, you will be treacherous and false, be impatient, have a personal relationship, and suspect that the farmers will not be able to do it. If the people who rebellious travel have nothing to eat, you will definitely farm. If you will definitely farm, you will definitely cultivate the grass."

After hearing this, Zuo Houde asked, "Oh, I know that this statement comes from Shang Jun's book, but I also know that later, the King of Qin still existed in a hotel during the reign of Emperor Qin!"

Li Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Shang Jun's book was said when he entered Qin. Later, after six generations, it was not entirely said in the book! Hotels also have great uses. In the pre-Qin period, between counties and counties, Qin officials were convenient for back and forth, and even doctors and nobles had a place to rest! Moreover, every year, whether it was the Qianshou, the Gongshu, the Shangshu, or the Zhangshao, they had this military service, and the hotel was considered a transit place!"

Zuo Houde nodded, and Li Yan continued: "If you use good things, the people will be close to their relatives; if you are traitors, the people will be close to their own rules. Those who are combined and restored are good; those who are different and regulated are traitors. If you are good, you will be traitors. If you are good, you will be punished by the offender. If you are traitors, you will be punished by the offender. If you are punished by the offender, you will be punished by the offender. If you are punished by the offender, you will be punished by the law. If you are punished by the offender, you will be punished by the law. If you are punished by the offender, you will be defeated by the law. If you are punished by the law, you will be defeated by the state. Therefore, it is said: If you are governed by the good people, you will be curbed by the chaos; if you are traitors, you will be punished

When Zuo Houde heard this, he immediately applauded and said, "It's reasonable! Human nature is evil, but what restricts human nature is evil is not morality, but law! The people win the law, and the law will completely collapse!"

What Li Yan said is: if the so-called good people govern the people, then the people will only love their relatives. If the so-called evil people govern the people, then the people will abide by the country's legal system.

When the people are combined, they will cover up their mistakes. This is called good. It will separate the people and supervise each other. This is called traitor.

By commending the so-called good people, the people's sins will be covered up. If the so-called evil people are appointed to govern, the people's faults will be punished.

If the people's mistakes are covered up, the people will override the laws and regulations. If the people's sins are punished, the national laws and regulations can suppress the people.

If the people are above the laws and regulations, the country will be in chaos. If the laws and regulations limit the people, the country's troops will be strong. Therefore, if the so-called good people are used to organize the country, the country will be in chaos until it is weakened. If the so-called evil people are used to govern the country, the country will be able to govern the country well until it is strong.

When Li Yan heard what Zuo Houde said, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes and said, "This is the true meaning of the Legalists!"

Zuo Houde looked at him and asked him to continue talking!

Li Yan continued to speak and slowly explained the Qin method. Suddenly, Li Yan said, "The goal of winning the law is to rush to eliminate traitors, and the basis of eliminating traitors is to eliminate traitors is to punish them."

What Li Yan said is: The task of law enforcement is not to hurry to eliminate evil, and the fundamental reason for eliminating evil is to severe punishment and serious laws.

Zuo Houde couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a great statement! The cost of crime is too low, and it must be punished severely and used to punish evil people."

Li Yan said again: "If there is no supreme governance, evil officials will not be able to benefit the people for their own benefit."

Zuo Houde looked up at Li Yan and said, "Can you really achieve the treatment of Wushu?"

Li Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the way of Qin officials, and he must do it!"

No wonder Zuo Houde felt unbelievable. Li Yan complained: officials were not allowed to leave the government affairs that day, so evil officials would not have free time to go to the people to seek their own interests.

This was something that Zuo Houde could not do in his previous life, but for Qin officials, it was something that must be accomplished. Zuo Houde sighed: "No wonder Qin Wangzheng can rule the world!"

After that, for more than ten days, Zuo Houde was listening to Li Yan's explanation of the Legalists' opinions, and Zuo Houde gradually gained his own understanding. In the pre-Qin period, the Legalists' regulations were first and foremost extremely strict. Many laws were inhumane in the view of Zuo Houde, in the view of later generations!

Of course, Zuo Houde still admires it very much, after all, as long as you don’t break the law, it’s okay!

Of course, the Legalists are also extremely rigorous in governing the country. Every law, law, and every punctuation mark are very clear, and rewards and punishments are clear. These codes are locked in a room and no one is allowed to modify them without authorization!

There are many laws, and the minor officials are required to remember clearly. They will investigate every time. If you fail to remember which criminal law, you will be required to punish this criminal law!

At the same time, Qin was also very strict in managing the people under his rule. Everyone had "passing" and "tale", which was equivalent to the ID card of later generations!

At the same time, land is state-owned and private transactions are not allowed. Every citizen has his own household registration when he is born, and the industry he is engaged in in the future. A person's background determines many things!

Of course, the most famous thing in the Qin Dynasty was the military merit system. The division of twenty titles was just an almost perfect path to promotion, and it was also the path for most people to gain fame, wealth and status!

Some things here have been continued, such as county system and certain military rules!

Of course, what made Zuo Houde most happy was that Li Yan's family preserved the complete laws of the Qin Dynasty. Over the years, they even made some revisions that conform to the times based on the changes in the years. Simply put, this is a complete legal system.

For this system, Zuo Houde can even use it with a slight modification!

Of course, there are many Qin methods that are not particularly perfect in Zuo Houde's opinion, but Zuo Houde did not propose them. After all, Zuo Houde can be modified in the future!

The reason why Zuo Houde chose the Legalists is very simple. First, the previous military control was actually the use of the Legalists. Choosing the Legalists can make a smoother change!

Second, the law of the Legalists is very strict but fair. Although Zuo Houde occupied the northern land, it still failed to win the hearts of the people in the northern land. Law can calm people's hearts and can also make Zuo Houde very rigorous in governing it, so that people will not be in trouble!

Although Zuo Houde chose the Legalists, Zuo Houde still did not intend to abandon the other schools, whether it was a doctor, a farmer, a Mohist, a Yin-Yang family...

These disciples of these schools are outstanding talents of this era, so Zuo Houde will naturally have the best.

The heroes of the world are in my throne!

Soon, Zuo Houde's proposition was clearly manifested. A large number of disciples from the Legalists came to the north to show their ambitions. Most of the disciples of Confucianism and Taoism left, but the Mohist schools and other primary schools remained!

Zuo Houde also stayed to the Wei Party Committee of the School to value these people and arranged them in a suitable position. Although Zuo Houde did not particularly recognize these people's claims, Zuo Houde appreciated their miscellaneous studies!
Chapter completed!
