I rely on Qin Shihuang to enshrine the gods

Chapter 171: Burning Books to Restoration

Court meeting, big banquet.

In order to celebrate the success of pacifying the Xiongnu and conquering the vast land of Baiyue, Ying Zheng sat high on the dragon chair, with twelve strings of robes hanging down, covering his deep face and making it blurry. He was dressed in a wide sun, moon and stars. In the dark dragon robe, standing on the left hand side is Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao regained the Sacred Heart and poured wine for him slowly.

This wine is mixed with some nourishing medicinal materials, giving it a strong medicinal flavor.

Ying Zheng scolded coldly: "What are you doing with the medicinal wine? I am in good health. Let me drink Lao Qin wine. I will be drunk with you all today!"

Zhao Gao trembled with fright and hurriedly went to change it.

Under the gazes of senior officials of the Qin State and Dr. Seventy below, the majestic emperor suddenly stood up and said: "Drive the Huns from the north, conquer Baiyue from the south, and secure the foundation of our great Qin for eternity!"

"Long live your Majesty! Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live your Majesty! Long live the Great Qin!"

"Mighty Qin!"

The wine was fragrant and the voices were majestic. Qin officials wearing official hats and doctors wearing doctor's uniforms all raised their titles. Next, the doctors presented speeches praising the merits of the First Emperor.

Make it spread all over the world and spread its authority all over the world.

Zhou Qingchen, the servant below, took the lead and sang: "In the past, the territory of the Qin State was only a thousand miles away. Now, relying on your majesty's divine power and sage, we have leveled the land and driven out the barbarians. Wherever the sun and moon shine, there is no one who does not obey and sing praises."

"Your Majesty also changed the enfeoffment system to establish counties and counties. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment without the worries of war. From generation to generation, no one can match your majesty."

Those who play with pens are different.

Even the flattery left an afterimage in the photo.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

The recorder kept reading and recorded this conversation in order to spread the emperor's kindness to the heads of Guizhou and reduce their rebelliousness.

Another doctor below also stood up and congratulated: "Your Majesty has the virtues of the three emperors and the achievements of the five emperors. The five unifications are implemented throughout the country, especially the compilation of Qin seal script and the unification of writing. Even if Cangjie is alive, it is not as good as the worst. Your Majesty pays so much attention to the people's livelihood and people's sentiments. , develop the economy, integrate culture, change the world, and unify the world, so that the leaders of Guizhou will be ignorant, the merchants will be hindered, and the world will be prosperous and peaceful!"

Before he sat down, another doctor said: "Your Majesty built the Great Wall and built an unbreakable and solid barrier against foreign enemies. It will put an end to the troubles of the Xiongnu barbarians, protect the safety of our Qin Dynasty for generations, and enable the leaders of Guizhou to have a safe place to live. Your Majesty's merits , has long surpassed the ancient times and the present.”

"I have objections."

At this time, Dr. Chun Yuyue, who came from Qi State, stepped forward. He glanced at the group of fawning rats with contempt, then stroked his white and smooth beard, and said: "How can you be so boastful?" The past is still the same as the present! It’s so ridiculous!”

The whole place fell silent for a moment as if they had mastered the Turtle Breathing Skill, and the heat that had just been stirred up instantly died down.

Chunyu Yue raised the corner of his mouth and raised his voice: "I heard that the rule of Yin and Zhou Dynasty has been passed down for more than a thousand years because the king gave the land to his descendants. These descendants are like the branches of a big tree. Likewise, he worked conscientiously to assist the king and risked his life for the stability of the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. Now his majesty is rich all over the world, but his descendants are ordinary people. If there are rebellious officials and traitors like Tian Chang and Liu Qing, who among your majesty's men can guard the border? Isn't it okay? It is unheard of to learn from the ancients for a long time! Now Zhou Qingchen is flattering and trying to deceive His Majesty, what kind of loyal minister can he be?!"

As he spoke, he swept his sleeves angrily.

This sweep, like a big cattail fan, slapped the faces of a group of Legalist doctors, turning their faces into fermented buns. It also slapped the superior Li Si's face hard and unstoppably.

Li Si put down the wine jue and frowned. He really felt that Chunyu Yue was reading some kind of ecstasy.

It was so fascinating to read!

The praising doctors glared at Chun Yuyue, puffing and puffing from their noses like a white gourd on a vine.

Ying Zheng sneered and said: "Adhering to the ancient system has messed up the feudal system for nearly two hundred years. It is better to establish a new dynasty and establish counties and counties. Dear ministers, you can discuss it yourself."

Some of the doctors below were talking among themselves and murmuring, "The Zhou rites have been practiced for three generations and have been passed down to future generations. We must not practice them without thinking about the past. The rites cannot be abolished, and the ancients must be followed. Chunyu Yue's words make sense."

"Why should we use officials as our teachers and the law as our teachings? According to me, we should use the ancient times as our teachers and etiquette as our teachings."

"I think of the time when the emperor ruled from the top of his head, princes from all over the world came to court, and barbarians came from all directions."

"Today, governing the country by law is too strict. As the saying goes, harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, not to mention that it goes against the rule of law."

"In my opinion, you should perform rituals! There are three roots in rituals: heaven and earth, the basis of life; ancestors, the basis of species; rulers and teachers, the basis of governance. Without heaven and earth, evil is born? Without ancestors, evil comes out? None Master, do you want to govern badly? If the three of them die, there will be no peace for them."

"Old rituals serve heaven above and earth below. They respect the ancestors and honor the emperor. These are the three basic principles of rituals. The rituals cannot be abolished and the ancient times cannot be abandoned. If you don't respect your ancestors, don't respect the saints, and don't remember the source, how can you drink water?"

They have an ancestor in one mouth and a sage in the other, and they are swinging a bunch of dead people around in their mouths.

Li Si took a sip of wine while covering his sleeve.

Before the leaked look could dissipate, it was like a mouthful of wine, and it was as unfathomable as the thoughts of an aloof emperor.

As the saying goes.

You are not afraid of reasoning, nor are you afraid of dead people reasoning, because dead people cannot reason at all. You are afraid of a group of living people using dead people to reason with you, after all, once a person dies.

They are ancient. They just make it.

Our ancestors set the precedent and we should follow it.

It's like a group of ignorant people who always like to worship their dead ancestors.

Li Si figured it out, and stood up to support the emperor resolutely, shouting: "The five emperors' methods of governing the country do not overlap, and the methods of governing the country of the Xia, Zhou, and Shang dynasties are not inherited from each other. They each govern their own affairs. They do not have to contradict them. Forget the virtues of the past. But times have changed, and now your Majesty has created great achievements and established achievements for all generations. How can a group of ignorant and stubborn Confucian scholars who are well versed in dead books talk arrogantly?"

The faces of the doctors below became not so good.

Li Si pointed at Chunyu Yue and scolded: "Chun Yuyue, you are just picking up old sesame seeds and rotten millet from the third generation. What is the third generation?"

"Three generations have done it for a long time. You can't find the ground even if you dig up graves and dig up soil. How dare you use the three generations to talk about today's laws!"

Chunyu Yue was so angry that his beard fluttered.

Li Si did not give him a chance to refute: "In the past, princes fought for power with each other, and their wealth attracted learned scholars. Today, the rule has been decided, and the new laws of the Qin State have come out. The leaders of Guizhou are working hard in business and farming, and the scholars are studying the laws assiduously."

"Nowadays, these doctors who rely on Your Majesty to enjoy high salaries and high positions in the Qin State do not learn from the current Qin State's orders, but imitate the ancients' methods and slander Qin's laws."

"This is completely deceiving the public and deceiving the head of Guizhou."

When the doctors heard what was said, it became more and more serious. They looked at each other and their expressions changed drastically.

Li Si said: "I, Prime Minister Li Si! Risk your own life to remonstrate!"

"Why did all the princes in the world rise together in the past but failed to unify them? Why did the past harm the present? It was just whitewashing lies and disturbing the reality. Therefore, the head of Guizhou blindly promoted private learning and denied the achievements established by your majesty."

"Nowadays, in the world of emperors, they distinguish between black and white and follow the new law. However, the head of Guizhou still advocates private learning and uses private learning to discuss the rights and wrongs of the legal system. They use their own ideas to discuss, criticize, and speculate. They are not talking about what they mean, and they are hiding evil intentions. It is wrong to discuss the new law in the streets and alleys after the court, inciting the masses to rebel with evil intentions!"

"You bullshit!"

One doctor angrily rebuked, "Speak of evidence!"

Li Si waved his hand calmly.

The servants next to him quickly went out and carried a box in. He continued: "These are all the nonsense these doctors are talking about in the market. In order to gain reputation, they praise the saints and sages to show off their outstanding talents." , demonstrated his wisdom by expressing different political opinions to refute His Majesty’s orders, and he also dared to lead a group of Guizhou leaders to spread rumors and slander!”

"Inciting the head of Guizhou! Talking nonsense about Qin's laws! This is the irrefutable evidence collected by the government, not to mention that they have formed a faction with each other!"

The box has been handed over and Ying Zheng is looking through it.

Li Si bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "I boldly request that all the history books of the Qin State and those not stored in Wanxiang Pavilion be burned. Anyone in the world dares to collect "Poems", "Books", and Baijiayu." All handed over to the government office will be burned! If anyone dares to discuss "Poems" and "Books" in private, they will be beheaded and abandoned in the market! Anyone who fails to report when the officials see him will be treated as the same crime! Thirty days after the decree was issued, there are still people who dare not hand over the books. , tattoos are punishable by hard labor. Except for some books on medicine, divination, tree planting, and farming that benefit the people, as long as they do not involve politics, they can be kept and not burned. If someone wants to learn the law, he must use the officials as his teachers and the law as his teachings. ! Only then can we show our great Qin Dynasty, the soul of the eternal emperor! What is unification? This is unification!"

"color!"

Yao Jia below couldn't help but cheer and said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. Those who follow the law love the people, and those who follow the etiquette facilitate things. Therefore, the sage can only strengthen the country, but does not follow the law. He can only benefit the people without following the etiquette."

"I second the proposal!"

Wang Ben also stood up.

He was still in mourning, wearing mourning clothes, and said, "The flow of water has passed. Since the doctors are officials in Da Qin and eat the official food of Da Qin, they are so self-reliant. Of course, good birds must choose trees, but they also need to be disciplined. You claim to be well-read in poems and books on etiquette, haven’t you ever heard of eating the emperor’s salary and being loyal to the emperor?!”

The faces of the doctors began to light up.

The officials of Qin State felt very comfortable after hearing this.

Wang Ben sneered coldly: "Chao Qin and Mu Chu are the actions of a hypocrite! If these are my soldiers, they must be killed without mercy!"

Meng Yi also stood up and said: "Shang Jun often said that if a country is poor and fights, poison will be born from the enemy. If there are no six lice, it will be strong. If a country is rich but it does not fight, if it is secretly born, if there are six lice, it will be weak. What are the six lice? ? Rites and music, "Poems", "Books", practicing kindness, filial piety, honesty, integrity, benevolence and righteousness, not a soldier who is ashamed to fight!"

"Caicaicai!"

"Caicaicai!"

After the explosive cheers ended, everyone waited with bated breath for the emperor's words.

Ying Zheng stood up from above and said coldly: "It's forbidden to study privately, it's forbidden to discuss nonsense, it's a harsh government, it's a king's way, I just want to see if just talking about labor's bullshit benevolence can suppress the restoration of the Six Kingdoms and stabilize our country of Qin." !Li Si!”

"Chen is here!"

"allow!"

All the Qin officials knelt down and shouted, "Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

Chunyu Yue's vision turned black, his legs and feet became weak, and he fell to the ground, crying: "Forget the roots and destroy civilization! It is not allowed by nature! It is not allowed by nature!"
