Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 30 Believe in people? ! (for collection)

twilight.

Fusu walks alone in the palace.

Looking at the blood-red setting sun, stepping on the fallen leaves, Yu Yu stepped between the pavilions.

He has ordered Wei Sheng to return the bamboo slips.

As for the copied copy, I also handed it over.

I don't know how long it took.

He came to the Doctor's Palace, which was empty.

Following the issuance of the book burning order, hundreds of Confucian scholars were arrested. The Confucian scholars who had gathered in the city ran and fled during the past six months.

At this time.

Fusu saw a few sweeping officials in front of him, walked over and asked, "Second and third son, let me ask, are there still people in the doctoral palace?"

Seeing that it was Fusu, the petty official hurriedly saluted, looked at each other a few times, and said nervously: "Young master, after the order of burning books, most of the doctors and bachelors in the doctoral palace escaped that day, and the murder case half a year ago After the sentencing, the only remaining people in the academy also escaped."

"Where is Kong Yu?" Fusu asked.

The little official's face tightened, and he said bravely, "I also escaped a month ago."

Fusu looked a little gloomy, and said displeasedly: "Although Kong Yu has no actual position, he is a minister with the title of emperor, how can he just abandon and flee?"

The little official lowered his head, his expression panicked.

Fusu took a deep breath and suppressed his displeasure. It was in vain for him to trust Kong Yu so much, but the brothers Kong Yu ran away without warning. If they hadn't come here unintentionally today, they might have been kept in the dark.

With this in mind, Fusu felt even more irritable.

During this period of time, his ambition has improved a lot, but he still has some old feelings about Confucianism.

but now.

This last sympathy faded too.

He has reacted.

Confucian scholars such as Kong Yu approached him only to seek power and gain, and they had no thoughts of the world at all.

Moreover, the reason why Kong Yu and others defected was probably because they were guilty of thieves. They were worried that they would be accused of slandering Qin Zheng and the first emperor in the past, and even go to jail.

Fusu snorted coldly: "Whether it's burning books or banning discussions, the intention is to deter them, but can we really kill them all?"

immediately.

Fusu frowned.

Kong Yu is the king of Wentong, who is in charge of the world's literature. Although he has no actual job, he is an official of the Great Qin Dynasty after all.

How could the first emperor not know that Kong Yu had defected?

However, Shi Huang did not order the recovery of the fugitive doctor, and even completely suppressed the matter. This is not like Shi Huang's behavior.

The Qin government has always practiced law like a mountain.

The main hall of Tingwei's Mansion is even more famous for the Shang Dynasty.

Contributing to the past is not a penalty.If you are good at the front, you should not lose the law.

Now that a minister with the title of emperor has fled, the first emperor should not take it so lightly anyway.

Fusu lowered his head and thought.

Seeing Fusu walking forward, several petty officials looked at each other, but heaved a sigh of relief, and did not choose to follow lightly, but continued to sweep up the fallen leaves.

a long time.

Fusu raised his head slowly, with hesitation in his eyes, he whispered, "Is it because of me?"

He thought about it again, and finally gave a wry smile.

"Ugh."

"Probably because of me."

"When the killing order was issued, I hurried to plead for mercy. Although I was scolded by the emperor, I didn't give up at that time. I ran to the prime minister's mansion and wanted Li Si and other courtiers to plead for forgiveness, but in the end Li Si and others were loyal to the rule of law. It was blocked back."

"This matter is determined to be known to the emperor."

"And I used to be close to Confucianism."

"Father's burning of books and burying Confucianism was originally to drive away Confucianism. If he ordered the escaped doctor to be recovered, I am afraid that my emotions would become more intense at that time. Maybe the first emperor just didn't want me to resent me again, so he chose to make some concessions." .”

Fusu had a bitter look on his face, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Believe in people and strive for success?"

"It sounds so harsh now."

"Eternal passion? Eternal self-righteousness? Eternal self-righteousness?"

"Perhaps it was because of my ignorance and incompetence that Shihuang felt untrustworthy and unreliable, so Shihuang chose to support the entire world's great government in a humble body."

"If it wasn't for my weakness and incompetence, why would Daqin be here?"

"In vain I have always talked about benevolence and kindness in the past, but I am not qualified to talk about benevolence and kindness. I am clearly the worst person in the world."

"If it weren't for me, burning books and burying scholars would not have happened."

"If it weren't for me, Li Shu in the world wouldn't be so miserable."

"If it weren't for me, Shi Huang wouldn't have become so eager for quick success."

"It comes down to it."

"It's all because I'm too incompetent."

"So incompetent that Daqin can only choose to be eager for success. Only in this way can Shihuang get a moment's peace of mind."

"Fu Su, Fu Su."

"You are in vain a son of man, a minister in vain."

"It's even more in vain to be trusted by the people of the world."

"Father regards you as the pillar of the country, and all officials regard you as the crown prince in private, but how did you do it? If you could realize it earlier, why did you disappoint father for so long? How did you make the world so tired? situation?"

"In the past, Zhang Cang and others did not give much advice."

"Let me study Shanghan more intensively, and forge an iron-like soul."

"I also remind from time to time that Daqin established the country with the rule of law, but I use good words to disrupt the law. This is deviating from Daqin's political path."

"However, I have never looked at it squarely."

"As a result, great disasters are caused, disasters are born in the world, and the people are pitiful."

Fusu stood still.

After wandering around for a while, I returned to the Doctoral Palace.

He raised his head, stared silently at the closed high door, and finally left resolutely.

Night falls.

Ying Zheng, who was reading the memorial at his desk, saw a special memorial.

This is a memorial from Fusu.

There is not much text on it, and only one thing is said.

That is to say, from now on, Fusu will be of the same mind as the first emperor, and be equally loyal to the rule of law, and will never tolerate things or people who violate the law, and ask for the escaped doctor to be recovered.

Ying Zheng smiled lightly and said, "It's still so impassioned and solemn, but with a bit of resentment."

"It's just a little more settled than before, and a little less pedantic and naive, which is barely a good thing."

"Not bad not bad."

"It's no longer necessary to recover the fugitive doctor."

"These people fled for more than a month, and the elders for half a year. Now if they want to search the world, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. The current Great Qin is not the beginning of the founding of the country, and its control over the local area is weakening. In vain."

"These fugitive doctors will be left to you to deal with in the future."

Ying Zheng put Fusu's memorial aside, and continued to review the memorial on the case.

It's just that the mood is obviously better.

Waiting for the moon to reach the branch, Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and stood up from the table.

He took the hot sweat towel from the eunuch and wiped his tired face, but he was thinking about how to deal with Ji Heng.

Fusu has undergone such a big change, and Ji Heng's contribution is indispensable.

It's just that Ying Zheng hasn't figured out how to deal with Ji Heng.

On the one hand, he hopes that Fusu can continue to guide others, but on the other hand, Ji Heng's talent makes him very afraid.

Ji Heng is too talented.

The genius seems to be able to see everything in the world.

With such a character, how dare he let Fu Su get too close?
After all, the roots of Fusu'er are a little soft.
