My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 184 Silence caused by a suggestion

Chapter 184 Silence caused by a suggestion (please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Then according to what the prince said, the prince and you will lead troops to garrison and suppress Yingchuan, Nanjun, Nanyang County, Sanchuan County, etc. I will only give you one hundred thousand troops."

Ying Zheng said with wide sleeves.

No one among the soldiers objected anymore. Anyway, the prince was in charge this time. Their titles and the success or failure of the matter all depended on the prince's decision.

It's just that many of the generals were silent, and some were a little slow in Human Dao Wei Ying and Ying Zheng.

There was no war, and many military ministers of Qin State were the first to refuse.

Fusu thought that today was a good time, so he wanted to deal with the things and problems that he had accumulated before.

"Father, my son and I have another request, please grant me your permission."

"Play." Ying Zheng is very happy today.

The war to pacify the world was shortened to two years. He has now decided to issue edicts to all counties and counties, asking them to release soldiers and return home. At the same time, he will make good use of those slaves to produce more food and grass for the people. Prepare more armor and chariots.

"Father, I learned a lot about the situation when I went to Xinzheng last time. Although there are many soldiers in our country of Qin going to the battlefield, there are always many large and small armies in the areas that have been captured. They Responsible for guarding various counties."

"They have been guarding the border for a long time. Although they don't have to sleep in the open, they have lost the opportunity to make military achievements. Moreover, they have to patrol hard. When there is any change in the place, they are Junfu's only help outside."

"So I would like to ask your father to give certain rewards to the soldiers who are guarding the border. In this way, the soldiers who are guarding the border will know that the king has never forgotten them."

When Fusu made such a suggestion, the expressions of the officials in the court were completely different.

Veteran ministers like Wang Wan, who were involved in both Legalism and Confucianism, expressed great appreciation for Fusu.The prince really knows how to appease the people.

Like the generals who were promoted from the bottom, they looked at each other one by one. They were accustomed to this ruthless world. All food, clothing, status, wealth and honor could only be earned with their hands. The rulers would never show mercy. Public.Suddenly, people like the prince appeared. While these people felt awkward, their hearts were naturally filled with heat.

In addition, there are the generals who have confirmed that they will go out with the army this time. When they heard what the prince said, they all looked at Fusu with gratitude and admiration.

Especially Ren Xiao, he was very shocked. 'The prince is really a terrible person.I didn't say a word, but the prince actually knew what I was thinking.This garrison job has always been left to people who are not valued.Once you are thrown into the corner, you can defend it for three to five years. '

'The king does not allow these generals and soldiers to marry other wives outside, let alone have children. This is too difficult for them. '

Ren Xiao originally thought that the prince was young, elegant and unrestrained, but now after hearing the prince's words, he felt how scary Fusu was, and he naturally respected the prince a little more.

Then there are generals like Li Xin and Meng Tian. They are all descendants of ministers in the court. Their families are relatively well-off, and they are all well-educated. Their parents and masters taught them what righteousness is.When they heard the prince say this, they all felt a little bit in their hearts.

The prince is indeed unique.

Many times, benevolence and righteousness are shouted out.Those who like to oppress and humiliate others all day long like to talk about being good people.And to evaluate a person's benevolence and righteousness, it is often a matter of false flattery.

But when there are people who actually practice benevolence and righteousness, they don't know what words they should use to describe Fusu and evaluate Fusu's actions.

They all became silent and just looked at Fusu quietly.

However, at this time, Feng Quji, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and other senior officials of the Qin State looked cold.

They all frowned, kept stroking their beards, and none of them said anything.

This is not a royal palace, this is the court of Qin.The people around Fusu are no longer a group of people who live relatively stable lives and have never seen the cruel and dark side of the world.

The high-ranking officials sitting around Fusu followed Legalism rather than Confucianism.

Fusu is known to be close to the people, but in fact he is not recognized by the current Qin legal officials and senior officials.

Because the Qin State originally believed in the art of the Shang king exhausting the people and weakening the people, only by weakening the power of the people can the country's power be supplemented and strengthened. Only in this way can the Qin State have the strength to compete for hegemony in the world.

At this time, Legalism was essentially hierarchical exploitation and oppression.But later Dong Zhongshu took off the beautiful coat of Confucianism and put it on the bloody skeleton of Legalism.

There is nothing wrong with Confucianism at all.

Confucius taught without distinction and spread culture. His original purpose was to spread the "Book of Changes" and carry forward and inherit ancient culture.

But at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties, everything changed.

Because a centralized power system was to be established and the power of the common people continued to grow, the ruling group of the Han Dynasty, who were born from common people, deeply realized that protecting the interests of the common people was fundamental.

However, at the beginning of the establishment of a country, the rulers can learn from the experience and lessons of the demise of the previous dynasty. Once the dynasty lasts for a long time, Confucius and Confucianism will be brought out.

Confucianism in the late Han Dynasty has taken away the core part of Legalism, which is to exploit the people at the bottom in the name of etiquette, benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety, and rationalize this exploitation.

In the era of Fusu Chu, at the end of the Warring States Period and on the eve of the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Legalism was the only one in the Qin Dynasty, and it was at its peak.

The people who really held the real power in the secret palaces, mansions, offices, local counties and counties of the Qin State were all Legalists.Other Confucian scholars from various countries were given sinecures, and were arranged to either work as doctors and servants in the palace, or to guard Qin's books and classics.

When Fusu said words of pity for the weak, it made him look like an alien.

All the ministers in the court had different ideas. Even Ying Zheng could not say that Fusu's idea was good.

Obviously, Fusu wanted to give certain benefits to the soldiers guarding the border and appease them.There's nothing wrong with that, it's fine.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Fusu was sending a wrong signal by doing this.

He is telling everyone that he wants to be a benevolent and righteous king.

This will allow some people with ulterior motives to take advantage of him after discovering his good heart.

Good people are often bound by their own good intentions and worry about this and that when doing things; while bad people can often achieve their goals quickly because they have no worries and are even more shameless.

If someone like Fusu blatantly stated that he wanted to fight for the interests of the common people, it would especially dissatisfy some people who could only gain benefits by oppressing the common people.

This is for sure.

First of all, those who have been promoted through flattery, bribery and liaison naturally hate people like Fusu.

In a court, there are not a few such people.

Next are the Legalists.

The birth of Legalism was not without reason.

Legalism and Confucianism are like a mother giving birth to two sons, but the two sons have completely different personalities.

Human nature is to like leisure and hate work, to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. This is something that is difficult to change in ancient and modern times.

When facing human nature, Legalism chose to restrain human nature and prohibit evil; Confucianism chose to follow the guidance and promote goodness.

Legalism and Confucianism in this period were essentially a period in which morality and legality were divided into two and were in extreme opposition.

Fusu was not a weak person, but he was soft-hearted, which became his biggest sin.
