My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 555: From today on, you will deal with hundreds of families (please subscribe for a monthly pass!)

When will it be my turn to govern this world?

When Fusu saw Zhao Gao, he felt sincere doubts in his heart.

He looked back at the many great scholars behind him, all looking at him, as if the person in front of him was a star; then he looked at his brothers, all clenching their fists, willing to follow him.

Although I offer advice and draw ideas to unite everyone, you shouldn't try to trick me like this!

I just drew a pie for you, but I didn’t ask you to follow me.

The reason why Ying Zheng summoned him at this time must be because of the debate he had just had with the Confucian scholars.

Originally, this autumn hunting was a good opportunity to build a good relationship with my brothers.

In this way, Fusu was brought to Ying Zheng by Zhao Gao.

At a glance, Ying Zheng saw a dozen brothers and more than a dozen great scholars following him.

There were more than ten carriages following behind.

The eunuchs, Lang Wei, and other guests followed, and the flags were fluttering at the front of the car.

This kind of team is already comparable to the teams that Ying Zheng usually patrols with.

As for the person following behind, Ying Zheng felt even more incredible.

If you pick any of these great scholars at random, they are all famous figures in the world.

What makes Ying Zheng most incredible is that Fusu is followed by many brothers.

This made Ying Zheng, who had experienced the Chengjiao Rebellion and Lao Ai Rebellion, find it incredible.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I accidentally said a few words to the great scholars just now. It must have disturbed my father's hunting pleasure. Today, all the ministers followed my father to Shanglin Garden, all for the autumn hunting."

"Such a grand ceremony related to the country's harvest should not be disrupted just because of a few words from one of my sons and ministers."

"My son has done it."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, this kid is really smart.

Seeing that he is sensible this time, I will forgive him first.

"I heard that you re-explained the way of teaching."

"Father, this is not explained by my son. This is what the ancients have summarized in ancient times. My son is just explaining the true way of being a teacher."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.

Li Si hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is so humble. There are so many great Confucian masters in the world, but they still cannot carry forward the true spirit of teaching. When you come to the Crown Prince, your righteous words will show your wisdom."

Other ministers also stood up and agreed.

"Your Majesty, the prince's virtue can govern the country; the prince's knowledge can cure the evil in people's hearts. The prince's academic talent is outstanding and he can interpret scriptures. Since the prince has such high talents, even the scholars in the world are impressed by the prince."

"I sincerely request your Majesty to let the Crown Prince personally preside over the revision and compilation of hundreds of classics and reinterpret the classic documents."

Fusu was shocked.

What happened today? Why did everyone suddenly change so much?

What happened to such a minister? He suddenly thought of a way. Their conscience was discovered today, and they actually thought about the future of tens of millions of people.

From the beginning, classics were born first, and then great Confucians, celebrities, and masters appeared.

As time went by, the right to interpret the classics eventually fell into the hands of the descendants of great Confucians and masters, and a family of classics was born.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were countless classics-study families.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, there has been a famous dispute between the Ancient Classical Literature School represented by Zhang Cang and the Modern Classical Literature School.

Regarding classics, historically Zhang Cang and others naturally insisted on retaining the original meaning.

However, Jinwen school eventually became the mainstream in the subsequent period.

This historically famous dispute over the interpretation of classics is not well known to the public, but it has had a great impact on everyone.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, many people have begun to add new annotations to the scriptures in the name of compiling scriptures.

This is the origin of the saying in exegesis that "there have been no true books since the Han Dynasty".

Especially after the invention of papermaking in the Han Dynasty, the practice of copywriting became more and more popular, and fake books became popular. According to evidence, there are many forgeries or errors in ancient books such as Jing, Shi, Zi, Ji, Dao, and Buddha, and the total number of correct books reaches thousands.

The Han Dynasty in history was an era of unprecedented expansion of national self-confidence and unprecedented concentration of national consciousness.

But who noticed at that time that some ideological cancers began to take hold, sprout, take root, bear fruit, and even spread rapidly throughout the world like wildfire?

In the Han Dynasty, the power to interpret scriptures was not in the hands of the government, but mostly in the hands of aristocratic families and even individual scholars, because the rulers at that time were unable to supervise and restrict it.

Chen Chenxiang caused great trouble to future generations.

Why has forgery increased since the Han Dynasty? It was the invention of papermaking.

It became common practice in the Han Dynasty to rely on the ancients. People at that time "many respected the past but despised the present."

The trend of respecting the ancients became popular culture in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. Intellectuals in general still yearned for the writings of hundreds of pre-Qin scholars, so it became a habit for compilers to borrow the names of ancients.

Furthermore, the paper revolution liberated writing from bamboo slips, brocades and silks, and writing materials became cheap, easy to obtain and easy to carry. Even though printing had not yet been invented, the business of copying books had already developed.

The above two points provide businessmen with room for operation and sources of profit.

Most of the people are busy making a living and in endless pain. One has no time to read, and many of the classics are lousy. The principles of many scriptures are simply difficult to understand, and even if they understand it, it is difficult to do it. .

In addition, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu burned most of the Chu state in a fire, and Qin Shihuang killed many Confucian scholars and destroyed many scriptures.
After going back and forth, there are not many real scriptures left.

Everything seems to be an opportunity for future generations of people with a little knowledge to create fake books.

If someone can write a decent scripture to soothe the people's temporary pain and make them happy to listen to it, and then add the name of the ancestor and claim to be the descendant of a certain ancestor, some simple and ignorant people will Fell into a sweet trap.

People who read books are sought after by thousands of people, and people who make books are bound to keep writing and make money.

There are more and more fake books!

The problem of fake books in the Han Dynasty was quite harmful to the minds of future generations.

The most typical scam is the saying in the De Tao Jing that has been widely recited by future generations.

They say they are late bloomers and have deceived countless honest people throughout their lives.

Some people work hard all their lives, but when they get really old, they still have a broken house, a broken bowl, and a broken home. There is no so-called achievement at all.

Some people are old, but their families are rich. However, if you don’t take good care of your body when you are young, if you overextend yourself in middle age, and by the time your family fortune is established, your body will no longer be able to survive, and you will not be able to enjoy happiness.

Even the sudden improvement in family conditions made him very uncomfortable. He felt that he, who had been humble for many years, was not worthy of such a good life, so he left after a few days.

But this sentence has inspired countless people and inspired countless people to fight hard and pursue something.

But I didn’t say this at all.

The original text of "De Dao Jing" says, "Great tools are free from failure!"

The original meaning of this sentence is what wise people often say, "Small wealth lies in hard work, and great wealth lies in heaven."

The true meaning is the same!

If you want to achieve great success and great wealth, you have to rely on God's will, which is luck. If you have that luck, go up.

If not, you can stay at home peacefully, be your idle fish, and live in peace and comfort and enjoy happiness all your life. There is nothing wrong with this! People should originally live such a comfortable and relaxed life!

Food, clothing, food and clothing, and a little extra money can all be obtained with a little effort.

But many people are deceived by the saying that they are late bloomers.

This sentence deceives people by saying that you need to work hard, endure hardship, be self-disciplined, and be patient.

There was no psychology in ancient China, but the method of controlling people's hearts is really vicious.

Unknowingly, another group of honest people were tricked in the process of learning knowledge.

A late bloomer, this may be the source of advocating people’s struggle in later generations. Struggle itself is good, you have to do something while you are alive. But when late bloomers are preached, the situation is different.

Many people work too hard, pursue too much, and overdraw themselves prematurely.

The most harmful thing is always thoughts.

A single thought can change a person's life. Sometimes if you make a wrong decision, you will suffer from that wrong decision for a whole ten years. When you look back, the golden age of your life has passed!
The reason for the prevalence of counterfeit books in the Han Dynasty was not only the pursuit of profit in business, but also for the purpose of slandering others, party members and opponents, etc. There are also actual records of this.

In fact, it is true to that sentence, and the disaster will last for thousands of years.

When a grain of sand of the times falls on one person, it is Qian Jun's burden. As for wrong ideas, they have been circulated for thousands of years, and they have ruined so many lives and harmed so many families.

How terrifying it would be to think that the power of interpreting classics in the Han Dynasty fell into the hands of aristocratic families and scholars!
To be honest, instead of letting aristocratic families and scholars interpret the classics, it would be better to bring it back to the central government from the beginning, and let the government and the court control the interpretation of the classics.

Even if your descendants are not strong enough and don't pay attention to these things in the future, they won't be able to take them back even if they want to. Fusu couldn't help but feel frightened.

OK, this is a God-sent opportunity.

This is bad! I have to take it!
"I think there is no one more suitable than you to take on this task. You already have a transcendent status in the hearts of scholars all over the world. You once studied under Han Fei, and now you have Dr. Chun Yuyue as your teacher."

"As for the classics, so far, only your interpretation is the most popular. From all aspects, you are the only one who is the most suitable to do this."

Fusu was a little confused when he heard this.

If the right to interpret classics is returned to the country, then he is willing to be this person and lead hundreds of schools of thought.

But if you say, let yourself explain so many classics.

Isn’t that just asking yourself to do the errands of a scholar?

It sounds a bit like I will do this specifically in the future.

Fusu felt that there was clearly a trap dug for him and he had to jump out of it.

Looking at Li Si, Wang Wan and his ilk, I feel that all of them are disgusting.

"My son just had a sudden burst of inspiration. If he wants to take on such a big thing, I'm afraid his talent is not enough."

Ying Zheng stroked his beard.

He really planned to leave this matter to Fusu, because no one was more suitable than him. Maybe others have selfish motives when interpreting the scriptures, but Fusu doesn't.

He does not belong to any family or any school. For him, the interests of the people are his own interests.

In terms of status, there are only a few people in the world who are higher than him, and everyone else is inferior to him.

When it comes to knowledge, no scholar in the world can argue with him.

He mixed with these scholars every day, instead of letting him out to interfere with political affairs in the court, and constantly expand his influence.

It's better to let him concentrate on this.

Ying Zheng didn't say much and directly faced the civil and military ministers.

"This is not what I mean, it is the wish of all the civil and military ministers. We all agree that you are the most suitable person to do this."

Li Si also said, "The prince has always been familiar with the classics, and his interpretation of the classics is close to the teachings of the ancient saints. Every time he speaks, people feel suddenly enlightened."

"And the prince is the best among Confucian scholars and has a deep understanding of the mysteries of the classics. The outcome has been predicted before anything happens. I think that the prince may understand better than Li Si. If the various schools of thought are allowed to continue to go their own way and run rampant. How much trouble it will bring to the country."

"Prince, please accept the king's order."

Li Si had already seen through Ying Zheng's thoughts, and this move was really a trick. Since the prince has won the hearts of the scholars, let the prince lead those scholars.

As for waiting until the prince ascends the throne. He naturally has a group of supporters behind him, so there is no need to worry about the lack of talents. In this way, the prince does not have to go to other places to find celebrities.

The king is at ease, and the crown prince's position as crown prince will be stable.

The best of both worlds!

All the ministers also stood up and said in unison.

"Prince, I have to ask you to take charge of this matter."

Although everyone supported the move, Fusu naturally refused to accept it.

This is a rule. How can you immediately agree to someone's invitation?

Ying Zheng looked at the crowd asking Fusu for help, but Fusu still refused to agree.

At this time, he gave the most direct order.

"I have appointed you to serve as the Imperial Academy. It was you who proposed to build the Imperial Academy, and celebrities from hundreds of schools of thought have already entered the Imperial Academy. From now on, you will be in charge of the Imperial Academy and specialize in managing the theories of the hundreds of schools of thought. "

"What I want is to bring order to the chaos! To clear up the source and unify the messy academic world. The result of a hundred schools of thought contending is nothing more than creating more disputes and competition."

"From today on, you will deal with these hundreds of families."

Zu Long gave an order.

Suddenly the aura of the surrounding people was reduced by half.

"only."

Fusu gritted his teeth and accepted the matter.

Fusu was no longer used to being ordered to do things.

On this day, tens of thousands of people gathered in Shanglin Garden. Among them, there are about hundreds of ministers and celebrities.

Everyone gathered together to recommend Fusu as the imperial scholar to offer wine.

The scene is very grand.

On this occasion of autumn hunting in Shanglin Garden, Ying Zheng listened to Li Si's opinions and added a very important cornerstone of unified ideology and scholarship to the founding of the Qin Empire.

Because this matter was very important, on the eve of the birth of the Qin Empire, the Qin State's land area expanded unprecedentedly, even larger than when the Zhou Dynasty was just established.

As for the theories and thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought, it was only because the iron hoof of the Qin State flattened the Five Kingdoms that all the celebrities who were once excited disappeared.

But their teachings never disappeared, nor did their influence diminish.

Historians have an insight into history, and they foresaw the significant impact Ying Zheng's decision would have on history.

It was up to Fusu to preside over this important event.

His status is so special. The prince of a country and the future King of Qin, with his outstanding talents and unique insights, at the age of less than 20, he leads the world's literati, oversees the world's classics families, and controls the world's classic documents. Final interpretation.

This also shows that the political affairs of King Fusu after he succeeded to the throne were different from those of his predecessors.

What kind of country the Qin State will be in the future, what kind of system it will adopt, and what direction it will lead the country and its people to develop as a monarch are all thought-provoking.

The historian not only recorded this event in great detail.

Some people even made a stone portrait of the grand scene in which Fusu accepted the recommendation of the public and took over the great event of Taixue's wine offering in Shanglinyuan.

There are six boards in total.

The first scene is the beginning of the matter. Fusu takes the eighteenth prince to question the scholars.

The second panel shows the debate between Qunru and Fusu. Facing a group of Confucian scholars, Fusu's momentum, carved by the craftsman's knife, overwhelmed everyone present. The scholars raised their swords and questioned Fusu one after another.

The third panel shows the Confucian scholars bowing their heads to Fusu. Although the Confucians were holding long swords, they all looked convinced in front of Fusu.

This shows that Prince Fusu overwhelmed the arrogant Confucian family with his outstanding personal abilities.

The fourth page shows Tingwei Li Si admonishing the King of Qin on his political affairs. This famous prime minister in Chinese history stood up to safeguard the balance of power between Heng Qin's royal government and Prince Fusu.

The fifth page shows the crowd lifting Fusu and making him the Imperial Scholar to offer wine. This shows that the royal family controls the interpretation of classics.

For the sixth page, the craftsmen are unique.

There are only two people in the picture, Ying Zheng and Fu Su.

Qin Wangzheng was aloof and imposing. He lowered his head and made some important arrangements for Fusu. The other half of the drawing board is occupied by the young prince. In front of the arrogant and authoritarian Ying Zheng, he stands proudly and holds his head high to accept such orders.

It's just that there are only these two people on this page, and nothing else...

These are naturally things that happened later.
-
But after that day, many young masters saw with their own eyes that Fusu was appointed by the King of Qin and recommended by the ministers.

This triggered a huge sense of inferiority deep within them.

After Fusu was appointed that day, when the other princes looked at Fusu, they felt that he was like a flying crane, and they were just pheasants who were born to set him off.

It was as if Fusu had become a towering mountain. Whenever he looked down at them, they seemed very small.

From the beginning, they enthusiastically worshiped Fusu as the big brother, but now they all looked at Fusu but did not dare to approach him.

These young and innocent royal brothers, they accepted the power and oppression of Ying Zheng as a king when they were born, and then gradually lived under the huge shadow of the prince Fusu.

After seeing the reaction of his royal brothers.

Fusu immediately expressed to Ying Zheng his intention to let all his royal brothers enter the Imperial College as a wine sacrifice.

"Since the royal family is to have the right to interpret classics, it must be implemented to the end!"

"Train the royal family members to learn classics, and let the royal brothers work hard to master academics. Over time, they will be successful. By then, the power to interpret classic doctrines will naturally fall into the hands of the royal family."

And I can rest more.

Ying Zheng was naturally very happy after hearing this.

He has always looked at his other sons-in-law and felt redundant, but he couldn't bear it. After all, they were all his flesh and blood.

Fusu's suggestion directly removed a piece of Ying Zheng's worry.
