Looking at the clean and level streets, the happy and relaxed people around me, the children running around in the streets, the beautiful four- or five-story buildings around me...
Han Yuanchang and Gongsun Wushang were in different moods.
Later, Han Yuanchang met Li Xian, but Li Xian did not give Han Yuanchang any special care. Yes, Han Yuanchang was the prime minister of Liu State, but Li Xian, apart from receiving him according to etiquette, threw Han Yuanchang to Xu Ren.
Li Xian knew very well that he was no match for Han Yuanchang in terms of intrigue and conspiracy. Han Yuanchang was the prime minister, so he simply handed the battle to Xu Ren, and let Xu Ren, Li Yuanming and others take the lead.
As for Li Xian, he was very businesslike and blunt with Han Yuanchang; but he was completely different with Gongsun Wushang. He was very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Gongsun Wushang felt a little embarrassed and even a little scared - why are you being so attentive
After sitting down, Li Xian got straight to the point, "Gongsun Wushang, I need a law enforcement officer in Anyang, are you willing to serve?"
No beating around the bush, no probing, just get straight to the point!
Gongsun Wushang was naturally shocked by such a direct approach, but he still had some skills. He did not answer immediately, but stood up, straightened his clothes, and re-tidied his hair. Then he sat down again with a straight posture. "Mr. Li, if you are serious, then I must also say seriously that I will try my best. In addition, I also need to understand the current situation in Anyang."
Li Xian looked into Gongsun Wushang's eyes, and a faint pressure spread out. Li Xian is no longer a Wuxia Amon now, but a powerful man who controls a region with a population of more than 13 million. Looking at him quietly like this, Gongsun Wushang actually had beads of sweat on his temples.
After a long time, Li Xian finally nodded, "I admire your confidence. You know, this time I sent Chang Lin to Liu State not for trade. The real purpose is to go to Liu State to find a legalist talent to make laws for Anyang!"
Gongsun Wuxin was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked. He specially dispatched three ironclad ships, crossed thousands of miles of sea, and contacted Liu State in the name of trade, just to find a talent!
This shows at least two things: first, Li Xian values talents; second, this so-called law-making is by no means simple!
After a brief pause, Li Xian continued, "Since you have the confidence to sit here, I will not ask about your past or your talents. I only ask you, if you are allowed to govern the laws of Anyang, can you do your best for Anyang?"
Gongsun Wushang, who had just been rejected by the Liu Kingdom and whose ambitions could not be realized, almost wanted to jump up and swear to the sky: I can do it. But the thought changed and he suppressed it. "Mr. Li, I must first understand the situation in Anyang, and also understand what kind of Anyang you need."
Li Xian thought about it, but shook his head. "Before that, I want to ask, what kind of laws are there in Liu State? What is the core of such laws?"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Wushang seemed to be a different person, and there was even a sacred sense of mission on his face. "Before talking about the Legalists, we have to talk about the counselors and scholars in the past. Counselors often only serve their lords, while scholars often only focus on the governance of the country. But whether it is counselors or scholars, they are both governing people by people. Moreover, counselors and scholars themselves have varying abilities and personalities, and are scattered. Therefore, our predecessors of the Legalists thought, is there a way to unify counselors and scholars and ensure absolute fairness? In the end, after a long period of development, the current Legalists were formed. The idea of the Legalists is to rule people by law instead of ruling people by people, and everything should be done according to the law; the entire society should be under the control of the law. And the law itself must be open. In this way, everything is done according to the law, and the world is governed by ease."
