Chapter 37 Changes

  "Governance through inaction, what is inaction, and what is action?" Zhang Beichen said, "I think action and inaction are relative terms!"

"The lumberjack chops firewood with the axe, but does nothing with the wood; the boatman ferries with the oars, but with the water. They have both actions and inaction, but they all achieve their goals, which are chopping wood and ferrying. .”

   "The same is true for governing the country. The monarch governs the country by doing something for the ministers, but not for the people! That is to say, the monarch only needs to manage his ministers well, and does not need to manage the people in every detail! This can still achieve the effect of governing the country."

"The feelings of ordinary people, if you see the benefits, you can't do it, and if you see the harm, you can't avoid it. The people can't make the most beneficial choice. Therefore, there is no law in the country, no rules for doing things, and the world will be chaotic! "

   "Whether it is the laws of the Qin State or other countries, as well as my "Grass Cultivation Order", they are all designed to let the people do what they can and do their best to get what they want. This is in line with the Tao and is in line with nature!"

   "With strict laws, farmers can farm with peace of mind; workers can manufacture in a standardized way; merchants can come and go; soldiers can fight, and everything is in order."

"So, to rule by doing nothing, it should be that the ruler does nothing and the ministers do something! As ministers, we should regulate the law and share the worries for the emperor! The emperor only needs to appoint good ministers to achieve great governance! This is the real inaction And rule!"

   Zhang Beichen’s views partly come from the Taoist sage Zhuangzi of parallel time and space, while the other part comes from the legalist sage Han Feizi’s viewpoint.

  When he finished speaking, there seemed to be a sound of Dao in the sky, and the power of heaven and earth landed in the hall and entered the body of Xuanniao. Xuanniao also seemed to be entangled with Dao sounds. It let out a long cry, and dropped a stream of pure spiritual power into Zhang Beichen's body.

   Seeing this scene, all the courtiers and scholars were dumbfounded.

   "The sound of the Dao is transmitted, the mysterious bird sings in the sky, the blessing of the national fortune, and the spiritual power tempers the body!"

   "This... This Beichen understands the truth better than a Taoist disciple!"

   "This voice came from Tianque, and after hearing it, it seemed that the body and mind were baptized! It was terrible. If Zhang Beichen practiced Taoism, he would definitely become a great monk!"

"The king does nothing but the ministers do something? The king's inaction means doing nothing for the people and doing something for the ministers! This...is this the meaning of governing by doing nothing?" Feng Yi was shocked when she heard his words, "Could it be that I misunderstood it before?" gone?"

   "Have I gone astray?" Thinking of this, Feng Yi suddenly contorted and foamed at the mouth.

   "He's gone mad!" Jing Ping said upon seeing this.

   "Feng Yi was defeated by the argument, it is true!" Seeing this, the scholars looked at Zhang Beichen with a bit of respect and fear.

   "Feng Yi's law has been broken, if I can't get out, maybe I won't be able to get any closer in this life!"

   "If he dares to argue, he must be prepared to fail!"

"This Feng Yi is such a waste, let him deal with Zhang Beichen, and ended up breaking himself!" Xi Qiming and Bai Jiayi cursed in their hearts. They thought this move could handle Ying Yiren and Zhang Beichen. Who would have thought that Feng Yi would be defeated? so fast!

   "The plan for many days is going to be in vain today!" The old clans were unwilling. Right now, if no one comes out to argue against Zhang Beichen, the reform of the Qin State will become a certainty!

  Zhang Beichen stood in the center of the hall. After he succeeded in debating the law, his body was baptized, and his legalist cultivation base was improved, from the middle stage of the asking realm to the late stage.

   "Who else wants to argue?" Zhang Beichen looked at everyone.

  The courtiers looked at Meng Yuan, but Meng Yuan lowered his eyes as if he didn't see it. Those scholars were all silent. They thought that their national policy was not as good as Zhang Beichen's, so naturally they would not ask for trouble.

   Ying Yiren was about to finalize the national policy when another scholar stepped out.

  The man was wearing a Confucian uniform with a smile on his face. He first saluted Ying Yiren respectfully, and then introduced himself: "I am Xia Gongliang Huai'an, a disciple of Confucianism."

   "What national policy do you have?" Ying Yiren asked.

  Gongliang Huai'an shook his head, and said: "I don't have a national policy, but I have a piece of theory about Qin."

   As he spoke, he took out the bamboo slips he carried with him.

  On the bamboo slips, characters appeared floating in the air, flashing black light.

   "Huh?" Everyone was aware that something was wrong, and Gongliang Huai'an had already started to read.

   ""Qin Evil Theory": The evil of the Qin State is the militarism! The Qin State fights every year, and the monarchs of the past dynasties are not considerate of the people, so that the people are miserable and mourning! It is a great evil!"

  When he spoke, his voice shook the universe, and it turned into a chain of black air in the air, locking the mysterious bird transformed from the phantom of Qin Guoyun's fate. The black air spread to the mysterious bird, and the mysterious bird screamed in pain!

  The spiritual power of Xuanniao was absorbed by Gongliang Huai'an through the chain of black air!

   "It's a Confucian scholar!" Some people have already recognized his identity.

   "It turned out to be a reverse species!" Zhang Beichen was also very surprised. He came to this world and naturally knew some information here.

  The so-called rebels are humans who have betrayed all countries, even the human race, and turned to demons.

   It is difficult for all schools of thought to cultivate, and to become a great monk requires great perseverance, great wisdom, and great opportunity.

  As for the method of demons, you can take a shortcut, at the cost of becoming a demon yourself. For example, the old man Bai who turned into a zombie is obviously dead, and he is still lingering on his last breath by eating human flesh and blood.

  This kind of anti-confucian scholar can improve himself by writing "dirty articles" and plundering the luck of others or the luck of the country.

  Once they appear, everyone shouts and beats them, and they are rarely seen. Unexpectedly, today, some Confucian scholars of the reverse species sneaked into the scholars, trying to take the opportunity to plunder the power of Qin's national destiny!

   "It's time to kill!" Che Yang stood up, wanting to draw his sword and kill him.

  Jing Ping stopped him, and said: "Don't be impulsive. He used dirty words to connect his own luck with our Qin country's luck. If he is killed, the country's luck will also be damaged!"

  Gongliang Huai'an laughed and said, "He's right. If you kill me, the fate of Qin will be languishing."

  Ying Yiren stood up, and said coldly: "Do you think that such a widow would not dare to kill you?"

"You can kill me, but you didn't break my law, "Qin Evil Theory" will be spread all over the world! Qin State will be criticized by the world! If you Qin State is capable, you will break my law and make me retaliate and die!"

   "If you don't have that ability, then just watch it obediently!" Gongliang Huai'an laughed, and Ying Yiren didn't hide her killing intent at all, but she was afraid that she would really ruin the fate of Qin.

  Usually, this kind of counter-species has no ability to shake the national destiny at all, and it will be dispersed by the power of the national destiny if it appears. It was only today that Qin's national policy was undecided and the national destiny was uncertain, so he found an opportunity.

  Gongliang Huai'an continued to read his obscenities: "The evil of the Qin State, appease the Rongdi! The Rongdi tribe has repeatedly invaded the people, and the Qin State did not conquer them, but actually formed an alliance with them! It is embarrassing!"

   Another series of black chains locked Xuanniao, and Xuanniao suffered even more.

   "The evil of the Qin State is perverted! The King of Qin did not implement a benevolent government, but instead appointed Zhang Beichen and his ilk to implement severe punishments and laws, poisoning the country!"

   "The evil of the Qin State is that the officials are unbearable. The official system of the Qin State is chaotic, and the officials' conduct and talent are low, which is detrimental to the country and the people!"

   "The evil of the Qin State is that they don't study poetry and books. The Qin people favor martial arts, and criticize reading and writing. They are ignorant!"

  When the fifth chain of black air locked the phantom of the black bird, the body of the black bird began to shrink slowly, and its frantic struggle in the air was of no avail.

  In Liyang City, in the sky, the wind and clouds changed color, and the dark clouds covered the sun. The people of Qin in the capital all saw the vision in the sky.

   "My luck in Qin has been greatly reduced!"

   "Damn, who is it? Who is stealing our luck?"

"In the end what happened?"

   "Isn't today the day to decide the national policy? Could something have changed?" Everyone in the city was terrified.

  …

"The national policy is not stable, causing evil spirits to make trouble. Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that we should make a decisive decision!" Meng Yuan, who had been closing his eyes and resting his mind just now, finally spoke, "Restore the ancestral system, set the national policy, and stabilize the national destiny before we can kill this son !"

   A killing intent flashed in Ying Yiren's eyes. She didn't know if this rebellious Confucian scholar had anything to do with the old clan. If there was, she would definitely get rid of him even if he was a veteran of the three dynasties!

   "Zhang Beichen, it's all because of you!" Bai Jiayi took the opportunity to accuse Zhang Beichen, "If you didn't want to change the law, you would definitely not have attracted this monster! Today's national fortune has been damaged, and you cannot escape the death penalty!"

   "Your Majesty, hurry up and announce the restoration of the ancestral system, and stabilize the fate of the country before we can kill this rebellious species!" The courtiers shouted in unison.
