Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 12 The Law of the Monarch, Confucianism and Minister! (for collection)
"Eldest son?" Hu Hai's expression was a little unnatural.

Ji Heng nodded, and said: "If there are no accidents, Fusu will be the appointed heir of the Great Qin Dynasty, that is, the second emperor of Qin in the future."

"Everything Shihuang did was to pave the way for Fusu."

"I said before that the first emperor has realized the problem, and will definitely make the court change in the future."

"You mentioned earlier that Fusu said in court that 'the head of Guizhou in the distance has not been gathered'. This sentence has revealed some of Fusu's political tendencies. He actually opposed Qin Shihuang's overemphasis on Legalism's political ideas, and his understanding of Confucianism They also responded with sympathy and even an attitude of support.”

"If Fusu came to power and Confucianism was still in power, wouldn't it be activated?"

"But Daqin became stronger through reform."

"Law is the foundation of Qin."

"This cannot be changed by anyone."

"Confucianism and law are opposed, and Fusu is ignorant of politics, let alone authoritarianism. If Confucianism is really used, it will definitely cause chaos in the court, and the government affairs of the court will be greatly affected. How can there be no chaos in the world?"

"Just in case, the first emperor ordered the burning of books and the denunciation of Confucianism, in order to completely drive Confucianism out of the court."

"Even if you complain about Fusu, you won't hesitate!"

heard.

Hu Hai looked a little resentful, and said, "Is it really worth it for Shihuang to do so much for the eldest son?"

partition.

Fusu's complexion turned pale, and he bit his lip hard.

He also asked himself in his heart, is he really worthy of his father doing so much?Can I really live up to my father's expectations?
he does not know.

Fusu's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.

He had never thought of such a scene before, and he didn't want to think about it.

Because he always believed that no matter what happened, as long as the father was there, everything would be nothing, and the father would solve everything for himself.

Father is his own piece of sky.

A piece of sky that can shield itself from all problems.

but now.
The day seems to be falling.

Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai indifferently, shook his head and said, "It's nothing worthwhile."

"The first emperor is not only a king, but also a father."

"And Shi Huang did much more than that to help Su."

"I mentioned before unintentionally that Fusu will be arranged by the first emperor to the northern border."

"The basis for the speculation is that the First Emperor wanted Fusu to take the position."

"As long as the first emperor wants Fusu to take the position, Fusu will definitely go to northern Xinjiang. I don't know exactly what form it will take. It may be demoted, sent, or for other reasons, but he will definitely go."

"And it will only be Northern Xinjiang!!!"

"Why?" Hu Hai blurted out subconsciously, and the next moment, he seemed to think of something, his eyes dodged and said: "Because of Meng Tian?"

Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai, and was a little surprised that Hu Hai reacted so quickly.

He nodded and said: "I said before that Shihuang's understanding of Fusu and the world is both angry and happy and worried."

"What is worrying is that Fusu is not involved in the matter deeply, does not have his own team, and lacks military merits. Once something happens to the first emperor, with the current ability of Fusu, he will not be able to control the court at all."

"In order for Fusu to succeed to the throne better, we can only let him go to northern Xinjiang to work with Meng Tian."

"Fu Su had a very close personal relationship with Meng Tian in the past."

"This trip to northern Xinjiang will strengthen the relationship between Fusu and Mengtian, and let Mengtian and the military be used by Fusu to help Fusu stabilize the court situation in the future."

"Secondly, the northern border is tough, and I want to use this to let Fusu experience more, experience the dangers of the empire, let him talk less about empty fantasies, and understand the good intentions of his own policies, so as to prevent Fusu from overcorrecting after he comes to power."

"Now let's answer the previous question."

"Why didn't Shihuang do it himself, but chose to hand it over to Fusu?"

"Because Fusu's prestige is not enough."

"He needs to rely on benevolent governance to accumulate prestige."

"Being benevolent and calming the hearts of the people inside, with the support of Meng Tian's military outside, Fusu is the only way to stabilize the world."

"As for why Confucian scholars should be targeted, the answer is obvious."

"What Daqin wants is the benevolence of Fusu, and the world can only spread the benevolence of Fusu."

"So Confucian scholars who talk about benevolence must be expelled from the court!"

"It is even more necessary to lose its right to speak."

"In addition, Fu Su Renshan, if he is in power, and he hears that people's livelihood is suffering, he will definitely implement a benevolent government."

"If Confucian scholars are in the court, to help Su's closeness to Confucianism, they may listen to the words of Confucian scholars and change the established policies of the imperial court."

"The foundation of Daqin's law will also be shaken."

"If Fusu wantonly reuses Confucian scholars and abolishes some express laws and regulations, he will undoubtedly mess up the government."

"In order to prevent Fusu from overcorrecting, and to continue to maintain the legal system, Confucianism must be eliminated from the court. Only in this way can the court be less affected and less disturbed after Fusu ascends the throne."

"As for the murder, it's even simpler."

"Because of supporting Su Zhongxiao."

"Abandoning Confucianism is the decision made by Shi Huang."

"As long as Fusu still bears the word loyalty and filial piety, he will never dare to go against the first emperor's decision."

"The first emperor would rather bear the infamy than murder Confucian scholars, just to tell Fusu plainly."

"You can use Confucianism."

"But you can't use Confucianism!"

"Don't even use it!!!"

separated by a wall.

Hearing Ji Heng's words, helping Su was like a thunderstorm.

He already understood it all.

The reason why Shihuang chose to kill him was entirely because he was worried about him.

Worried that he was deceived by Confucianism.

This murder made Shihuang infamous. If he uses Confucian scholars in the future, will it prove that Shihuang did wrong back then?Wouldn't it also confirm Shihuang's infamy?

He is called loyal and filial by the people of the world, how dare he do such a disloyal and unfilial thing?

Shi Huang was using his reputation to prevent himself from making mistakes.

Ji Heng was indeed harmed by himself.

Because of his disloyalty, filial piety and incompetence, the first emperor had no choice but to slaughter in order to stabilize the world, which caused more than 400 people to be murdered.

"Father——" Fu Su bowed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

the other side.

Ji Heng sighed quietly, and continued: "Now you know why I said that the one who killed me should help Su?"

"It is true that Fusu has no intention of harming others, but because of his incompetence in insight, more than [-] people including me have become Shi Huang's pawns to pave the way for Fusu."

"The First Emperor prepared everything for Fusu."

"After Fusu came to power, he can directly show others the image of a benevolent king, so as to attract the hearts of the heads of the world, so as to eliminate the gap between Guanzhong and Guandong, so as to achieve the goal of making the heads of Guizhou belong to him."

"The law of the ruler, the Confucian and the minister!"

"This is the path paved by Shihuang for Fusu."

"However, it's hard for Fusu to understand Shihuang's good intentions. Maybe the current Fusu is still complaining about Shihuang's burning of books and killing Confucian scholars."

"Ha ha."

Ji Heng shook his head, leaned on the big case, and continued to drink and drink by himself.

Addicted to it.

Whether it's the emperor's mind, or the family's private schemes.

He has seen too many crossings in the ninth world, and his heart has long since disappeared.

And he knew that Shi Huang had done much more than that for Fu Su, and even made some compromises for Fu Su.

But what's the point?

With the collapse of the first emperor's way, everything was turned into a cloud of smoke and buried deep in the long river of history.

No one cares, and no one cares.

In ancient times, the saints and sages were lonely, and only the drinkers kept their names.

There are many things in the world, not as good as a glass of wine.
