Fusu murmured, his face pale.

"The chronic diseases of the Six Kingdoms have emerged in Da Qin"

When Ji Heng revealed the chronic diseases of the Six Kingdoms one by one, Fusu had already anticipated something. Indeed, as Ji Heng said, the chronic diseases of the Six Kingdoms are now present in Da Qin, but they are not as serious as the Six Kingdoms. , but freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and these problems will gradually increase over time.

It's just a different name.

As far as he is concerned, what is the difference between the short-sighted internal strife within South Korea and the internal strife between him and Duch and others?

Moreover, there has always been a lot of opposition to the promulgation of various policies in the court. Many policies were not decided unanimously, but were often decided by the First Emperor's arbitrariness. For this reason, the First Emperor was already burning books. After the order, the imperial council system was abolished, and doctors and relevant officials were not allowed to discuss political affairs. Under such circumstances, how could it not cause internal friction?
Qin and Zhao share the same origin.

Both are inherently chaotic.

When the First Emperor came to power, the temples of the past were full of chaos and massacres. Only as the First Emperor came to power did the unrest in the temples gradually subside. However, local private strife has risen again. As far as he has been handling political affairs in the past few months, , and also vaguely felt the unrest in Guanzhong. Perhaps this was what Ji Heng said was the chronic disease of chaos in the Qin tribe's nature.

This chronic disease of violent chaos was suppressed by severe punishments and incentives under Shang Yang's reforms.

However, with the unification of the world, the imbalance of the rule of law has reared its head again.

The Yan State's devious political style of "not worrying about troubles a hundred miles away, but paying attention to troubles thousands of miles away" was also inherited by the Qin court. In some political matters, the courtiers have been trying to use various compromises to calm down the fierce conflicts of interests. In dealing with various major social conflicts, obvious pedantry has been revealed many times. The court has long developed a strong style of perfunctory government.

Da Qin's reforms were often forced reforms. In the end, like the Yan State, they stopped briefly after seeing some results and were unwilling to go deeper.

This also led to Great Qin talking about breaking and establishing, but in fact, it had not yet completed the breaking and establishing. In this wavering state, the achievements of Great Qin in the past ten years, except for a few that remained, were basically abandoned, and the world once again fell into disrepair. Back to the old ways.

even.

The Great Qin court had begun to stay away from the reform.

I prefer to stick to the existing methods.

As for Wei's slow virtuous people and their forgetfulness of scholars, Da Qin also had this crux.

It's just that the world is determined, and the minds of the scholars in the six lands of Guandong are unpredictable. Therefore, a large number of heroes' children have seized high positions, and there are suspicions between the "old and new" Qin people from top to bottom. This is what Wei Wuhou said at the time. Are rich people proud of themselves?Are the poor and lowly proud? 'Are there any similarities but similar approaches?

The success or failure of the world depends on the employment of people.

At that time, Qin was discriminated against in the Central Plains and regarded Qin as a tiger and wolf. Even so, Qin always eagerly sought talents from the world, tirelessly tried to change, and tried to strengthen itself.

Now that Qin has conquered the world, everything seems to have been forgotten.

They even think arrogantly that all the people in the world are Qin people, and all the talented people in the world are Qin scholars. However, the poor and humble are also proud of themselves.If the princes are arrogant, they will lose their country.If a great man is arrogant, he will lose his family.If the poor and lowly do not agree with their actions and do not use their words, then they will be removed. '.

How can one be so condescending and arrogant as to truly respect the virtuous among relatives?

Chu's division and rule did not exist in Da Qin.

However, the courtiers' vigilance towards change and their inertia to maintain the status quo were no less than those of the Chu family.

It's just that the First Emperor is still here, and the courtiers are wary. In the future, when the heroes become more powerful, will these people still be so respectful?Will you still follow the imperial decree?

Fusu had doubts in his heart.

The prosperity of the Qi State was equal to that of the Qin Dynasty. However, in just a few decades, the powerful Qi State completely fell into anarchy, without any vitality, and the whole government was lifeless. This kind of fanciful idea of ​​anarchy can be firmly established. Maintaining the government of Qi is simply terrifying.

It's just that Qin seems to be the opposite of Qi.

Qi forgot to fight, while Qin was warlike.

Those who are warlike will perish, and those who forget to fight will be in danger.

If it is true as stated in the "Seven Books of Martial Arts", Da Qin's future situation will only be worse than Qi's.

Think of these.

Fusu's dry lips moved, but no words came out.

Because Qin did have these problems, but no one pointed them out in the past. The whole court was still immersed in the encouragement of world unification, and did not notice the internal crisis of Qin at all. Even he himself did not have this awareness, he just wanted to Let the world cultivate itself.

But if we don’t solve it fundamentally and recuperate, how can we really do it?
After all, it's just self-deception.

Fusu stood up slowly, bowed respectfully to Ji Heng and said: "Fusu has been taught. If it hadn't been for Mr. Fusu's words, Fusu might not have expected the current crisis in Da Qin. Even if the imperial court can solve the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, solve these problems." Those who restore the state, but the root causes are not removed, will only linger on."

"Fusu thanked you sir."

Ji Heng shook his head, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. You are indeed wrong."

"The world is changing."

"This change is happening all the time."

"Each vassal state has its own chronic diseases. Even if there are strong men who can get rid of these chronic diseases, new chronic diseases will appear as time goes by. If you want the world to truly achieve long-term peace and stability, you must always make improvements to the world. , so that these chronic diseases will not become bigger or even end."

"Shang Yang's reform was the most appropriate choice at that time."

"But after the world is unified, Shang Yang's method may not be possible."

"Maybe Shang Yang also realized it."

"That's why I took the initiative to put forward the saying that 'there is no way to govern the world, and the country is not following the ancient laws'. It's just that there is only one Shang Yang in the world, and there is only one Qin. With the progress and development of the times, the legal system of Qin has indeed improved a lot, but compared with With the development of the times, Da Qin’s legal system has obviously lagged behind.”

“It’s also difficult to keep up with the development trends of the times.”

"In a time of great strife, everything aims at war, and everything aims at victory."

“Any policy that can mobilize and increase the potential for war is a good policy. However, after the unification of the world, these high-pressure policies suddenly changed and became a contemporary tyranny and evil government. It is not that the policy has changed, but that the times have changed. "

"The era of great strife has passed."

"These laws, created for a time of great strife, are also obsolete."

"The First Emperor made an attempt to continue."

"So there was a well-known attack on the Xiongnu in the north and a Baiyue attack in the south, but the effect on continuing Shang Yang's method was not obvious."

"Whether it is the Xiongnu or the Baiyue, even if the Qin Dynasty fights on two fronts, it is still not the opponent of the Qin Dynasty. Even if the unified land of China has not been completely consolidated, the power it can accumulate and explode is extremely amazing. The Xiongnu and Baiyue were not able to resist, so as the Xiongnu fled north, the Baiyue fled north."

"The First Emperor's intentions were in vain."

"These two conquests have intensified the Qin people's war-weariness and anti-war mentality. It's just that this hatred has not exploded yet, but in my opinion, it is only a matter of time before it finally breaks out. The Qin people are already war-weary. .”

"This is actually completely understandable."

"How can an official in a temple feel the suffering of the lower class?"

"The people of Qin followed the Qin State from the east to the north and from the north to the south. They fought for hundreds of years. Even an iron man would get tired of such a long conquest. Moreover, after the world was unified, the Qin Dynasty would no longer have an opponent. This kind of tiredness would be even worse. It breeds rapidly, not to mention that after the world is unified, if these Qin soldiers who fought bloody battles for the country do not get the peace they deserve, how can they not be dissatisfied?"

"Everyone has limits."

"In the past, it was a battle for survival, and everyone risked their lives. Now there is a truce in the world. The tense heartstrings of the world have been relaxed. The world has relaxed, but Da Qin does not allow them to relax, and still forces them to tighten their heartstrings with high pressure. , wouldn’t this make people more and more disgusted and alienated?”

"The imperial court squandered their blood and sweat wantonly, completely ignoring the resistance of the people at the bottom."

"Of course there will be backlash!" "Everyone in the world pursues profit."

"The current system of Da Qin is not beneficial to most people. As the world falls into peace again, the resentment of the lower class towards the court will become more and more serious."

"And like I said before."

"Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also the Six Kingdoms; those who belong to Qin are also Qin!"

"If Qin is destroyed, it must be because the Qin people are completely disappointed with Da Qin and are unwilling to serve Qin anymore, which will lead to the destruction of Da Qin."

"The First Emperor is aware of this situation."

"It's just that the First Emperor didn't have any good ideas. The First Emperor was driving a broken car that had been repaired. Although the First Emperor wanted to smash this broken car and rebuild it, it was just that for the new car that was to be built, the First Emperor could not I didn’t have much of a clue, and after some commotion, I went back to the old path of patching things up.”

"This may also be the First Emperor's helplessness."

"There is no more astonishing talent in the Qin Dynasty like Shang Yang."

"The First Emperor once had high hopes for Han Fei, but under the evil trend of power and power in Korea, Han Fei was not exempt from vulgarity. He believed in power and power very devoutly, but he was very clumsy in implementing power and was even unable to implement it at all. He had only a few theories. , but I don’t know how to use it, the wind is so fierce that people can’t help but be shocked.”

"As for Li Si."

"There are also such shackles."

"Perhaps because of his birth, Li Si is good at seeking power, but not good at seeking country. Although he is a master of Legalism, he cannot escape the shackles of the old law. He can only make some tinkering with the world in order to let it truly rule the country. Li Si’s ability is not enough to revolutionize the world.”

"And Li Si may not be willing to do it."

"Since ancient times, those who change the law have no good end."

"Li Si is originally greedy for power. Now that he has become famous, how can he put himself in danger again?"

"Looking at the Qin Dynasty and the outside world, there is no such person anymore."

"Eventually the First Emperor gave up."

"So in recent years, the chaos in the Qin Dynasty actually originated from the First Emperor and the chaos within the court. The Qin Dynasty has long been in a very embarrassing situation. It does not know the way forward and the future. Although the First Emperor is still plausible He talked about vigorously reforming, raging against the old system of three generations, and trying to find a new way, but in fact, the First Emperor did not have much clue about the new way, and the only thing he focused on was centralization of power."

"But that's all."

"Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the courtiers were shaken and turned towards perverse politics."

"Gai is at a loss as to what to do."

heard.

Fusu was silent.

Da Qin indeed lacks such capable people.

It was when Qin decided to unify the world, but it never made a final plan. Later, it was able to find Wei Liaozi, and it was possible to clarify the general trend for Qin to unify the world. At that time, when Wei Liaozi discussed it, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak out. , all listened to Wei Liaozi's talk, and finally the four theories determined the world.

At that time, Da Qin lacked talents with far-sighted ideas about the country.

The same is true now.

Even though the First Emperor had the ambition to conquer the world, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

What to do?

However, Qin was able to find Wei Liaozi back then, but in the direction of innovation in the world, he could never find another 'Shang Yang'.

Qin could be said to be envious and jealous of the fact that Wei had four great politicians: Li Kui, Le Yang, Wu Qi, and Ximen Bao at the beginning of its founding. However, in the end, it could only be regarded as envy.

immediately.

Fusu regained his composure.

He slowly looked at Ji Heng.

There was indeed no other great statesman like Shang Yang in the Qin Dynasty.

But Da Qin now has Ji Heng.

Ji Heng's talents may not be lost to Shang Yang's.

As long as Ji Heng is like Wei Liaozi and is willing to lay down the general strategy for the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be able to completely revolutionize the world just like it wiped out the six kingdoms, thereby once again laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this.

Fusu suddenly understood what Ji Heng mentioned earlier.

"Creation, preservation, revival, continuation, and inheritance are orderly." Fusu whispered, with a bright light in his eyes.

This is probably the real way to achieve long-term governance.

The world does not need real innovation all the time. As long as the problems are solved before they completely break out, the methods of Guo Zuo and Shang Yang can be continued and the Qin Dynasty prospered for more than 100 years. As long as the Qin Dynasty can build on the old foundation within these 100 years The 'updating method' can also continue.

And this is ZTE! ! !
As long as the 'updating method' can be maintained, Da Qin will survive forever.

Think of this.

Fusu felt excited in his heart.

see.

A sneer appeared on Ji Heng's lips.

He had been paying attention to Fusu, and seeing Fusu's sudden surprise and joy, he probably guessed what Fusu was thinking.

But how easy is it to revive ZTE several times?

Throughout the history of China, there are only a handful of people who can be revived once, let alone several times.

Ji Heng wanted to give Fu Su some advice.

Don't believe in the wisdom of future generations. Future generations don't have that much wisdom. They have to deal with not only their own problems, but also the chronic illnesses accumulated over the past hundred years. Unless there are saints and ministers descended from heaven from generation to generation, it will not be possible at all. It's not realistic.

But in the end Ji Heng still didn't say anything.

Fusu cupped his hands and said, "Please sir, please show the direction for Da Qin."

"I can't talk about pointing out the direction." Ji Heng waved his hand and said: "I'm not that capable. I still know my own talents. I can only make certain judgments about the current situation. Da Qin has no way to change it at the moment. At that time, it did not meet the standards of the new law.”

"Great Qin's centralization of power is not enough."

“Power is diffuse and not centralized enough, making it difficult to implement new laws and achieve results.”
