My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 643 Zulong, is he very powerful?
"Prince, are you really unwilling to follow Chen Ping's advice? If you submit the memorial directly, won't that make His Majesty angry?"

Fusu was sitting in the hall reading a book. Chen Ping looked around and saw that there was no one around, which made him even more anxious and frightened.

There were several copper stoves in the hall for heating, and the charcoal and firewood inside were burning very vigorously. The copper stoves were burned red, and crackling sounds could be heard from time to time.

In this world, everyone is afraid of Qin Shi Huang.

Because everyone was afraid of Qin Shi Huang, they all liked Fusu more. Because Fusu was not so strict. Although Fusu was restricted by his status as a crown prince and could not do anything drastic to benefit the people's livelihood, he was very popular with the people because of his personality, which was completely different from that of Ying Zheng.

Originally, Chen Ping and others were always afraid of Qin Shi Huang, but they did not dare to do anything. Only when they arrived at the palace did Chen Ping and others become even more afraid of Qin Shi Huang, because Ying Zheng would chop you off if they disagreed with him.

In Ying Zheng's mind, the lives of his subjects were like grass to him. If he was unhappy, he would just pull them out.

Chen Ping was afraid that Ying Zheng would punish Fusu. Because he had come out of seclusion early and had not experienced enough experience, he was already sweating profusely and his lips were trembling.

Chen Ping was very smart. He quickly realized that when the prince angered the emperor, the emperor would definitely not be cruel to his own son. But it was different for them.

I’m afraid that when the time comes, the emperor will get angry and chop off a few of their heads to teach the prince a lesson.

Fusu, who had lived in the Qin Kingdom for more than ten years, integrated into this era and had a thorough understanding of Ying Zheng.

Fusu held the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "Reading can increase one's wisdom and confidence. The more you know, the greater your grasp."

As the saying goes, a latent dragon should not be used. When a gentleman is not in the right time or position, he should work hard secretly to increase his experience and enrich his knowledge so that he can use it in the future.

"Zulong, is it very powerful?"

"Your Majesty, you have swept across the world. This feat is unprecedented and will never be repeated."

Fusu asked again, "But can he govern the country? I don't think so."

When Fusu saw Wang Ben, Yang Miao, Yang Duanhe and others coming to pay him a visit, he had ideas that he thought were very mature.

"Actually, after I thought about it carefully, my father is not that unattainable. The future of the world still depends on me."

"So don't panic. If he dares to touch me, it will be a major event that will shake the country."

"No need to worry about me."

Chen Ping looked at Fusu, feeling depressed. I am worried about whether I am OK.
-

In Zhangtai Palace, after seeing the memorial signed by Fusu, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows inexplicably.

The people in the palace were originally cleaning as usual.

The emperor suddenly stood up in the quiet hall and shook his sleeves. When everyone thought that Ying Zheng wanted to go out for a rest and then return to handle government affairs, Ying Zheng suddenly sat down again and stroked his beard.

He took a bamboo slip and carefully peeled off the seal on the memorial. On the seal was written Fusu's title of prince.

Ying Zheng was the first person to open this memorial.

After seeing Fusu submit his memorial of remonstration, Ying Zheng had a bad feeling in his heart.

Ying Zheng had long felt that Fusu had changed and was hiding even more deeply.

When this memorial came to him, Ying Zheng was still a little unconfident. He was even a little anxious.

Slowly, the bamboo slips were opened.

Ying Zheng looked at the beautiful handwriting and was sure that it was written by his son.

This is probably an article that Ying Zheng will never forget.

When he first read the first three paragraphs, Ying Zheng did not think it would be a remonstrance.

Because the text was so beautiful, Ying Zheng almost recited it in the hall with great emotion.

A good article always has rhythm, and just reading it makes you want to recite it.

[Qin annexed more than 30 counties in Shandong from the vassal states, repaired the forts and passes, occupied the dangerous places, and repaired the armor and weapons to defend them. The Qin people did not defend the dangerous places, did not close the passes and bridges, did not pierce with long spears, and did not shoot with powerful crossbows.]

As he read on, Ying Zheng frowned. He found that this article was not simple, and sweat broke out on Ying Zheng's forehead.

[I am afraid that one day the common people will gather hundreds of scattered garrison soldiers, raise their arms and shout loudly, without using bows and halberds, and use hoes and sticks to eat in the houses, and run rampant throughout the world.]

(Looking at the house and eating: refers to marching without bringing food and grass, eating on the spot.)
【At that time, the Chu army advanced deep into the country and fought at Hongmen, without any difficulty. As a result, Shandong was greatly disturbed, and the princes rose up and the heroes stood up.】

When Ying Zheng saw these two sentences, he was immediately shocked.

Seeing Ying Zheng like this, everyone around was so scared that they dared not breathe, and their movements gradually slowed down, for fear of making any noise.

It's like a little rabbit jumping around in the forest, suddenly seeing a big leopard waking up. It's so scared that its legs go limp and it hides quietly in the grass.

【Qin is a land of mountains and rivers, and is a country with four walls. Since Duke Mu, up to the King of Qin, there have been more than 20 kings, and they have always been the most powerful among the princes. Is it because every generation is wise? This is the result of their unstoppable power.】

When Ying Zheng saw these words, he naturally couldn't help but jump up and down. What he meant was that the reason why Qin State was what it is today was because of its geographical strategic location advantage, and it had little to do with the efforts and virtues of the previous kings, right?

After reading this, Ying Zheng knew the purpose of writing this article today.

This is not an article to boast about his merits.

Fusu would never come to scold his ancestors.

【At this time, there were people who were thoughtful and knowledgeable, but they did not dare to be loyal and make mistakes because Qin customs had many taboos and prohibitions. If a person spoke loyally, he would be killed before he could finish speaking. Therefore, the people of the world were asked to listen attentively, stand firm, and keep their mouths shut.】

[The Lord has lost his way, loyal ministers dare not advise, wise men dare not make plans, the world is in chaos, and the treacherous are not reported. Isn't it sad! ]

【The ancient kings knew that obstruction would harm the country, so they set up dukes, ministers, and scholars to embellish the law and set punishments, so that the world would be in order.】

【When it is strong, it suppresses violence and punishes rebellion, and the whole world submits. When it is weak, the Five Lords conquer and the other princes follow. When it is weakened, it defends the country internally and makes the outside world submit, and the country survives.】

【Thus, when Qin was prosperous, it had many laws and strict punishments, and the whole country was revitalized; when it declined, the people were resentful and the whole country rebelled.】

【So the Zhou Dynasty got the right way and lasted for more than a thousand years. The Qin Dynasty lost both its roots and its end, and it may not last long. From this point of view, the difference between the two is huge.】

Five Orders: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron, referring to the fiefdoms of princes.

【A folk proverb says, "Remembering the past is a lesson for the future." Therefore, when a gentleman governs a country, he should observe the ancient times, examine the present, and refer to human affairs, observe the reasons for prosperity and decline, and judge the appropriateness of power. He should have an orderly approach to leaving and a timely change, so that the country will be safe for a long time.】

【Duke Xiao of Qin held the stronghold of Zhuo and Han, and the land of Yongzhou. The king and his ministers held on firmly while looking at the Zhou Dynasty. They had the intention of sweeping the world, encompassing the universe, and encompassing the four seas, and the heart of swallowing up the eight wildernesses. 】【At that time, Lord Shang assisted him, and he established laws and regulations internally, worked hard on farming and weaving, and prepared for defense and war. Externally, he formed alliances and fought against the princes. As a result, the Qin people took over the land beyond the West River with ease. 】

After Duke Xiao died, King Hui and King Wu inherited his legacy and, following the will, annexed Hanzhong in the south, took over Ba and Shu in the west, cut off the fertile land in the east, and took over the key counties.

The princes were frightened and held a meeting to plot to weaken Qin. They no longer cared about precious objects, treasures, and fertile lands, so that people from all over the world came together to form alliances and become one.

[At that time... Chang attacked Qin with ten times the land and a million people.]

[The Qin people opened the gates to delay the enemy, and the armies of the nine states retreated and fled without daring to advance. Qin had no expenses for lost arrows and arrowheads, but the princes of the world were already trapped.]

【So the alliances were dissolved, and the people vied for territory and served Qin. Qin had enough strength to overcome the enemy's weakness, and chased the enemy north, leaving millions of corpses and blood flowing in the salt marsh.】

【He took advantage of the opportunity to rule the country, split the country, and forced the strong countries to submit and the weak countries to come to the court. This lasted until King Xiaowen and King Zhuangxiang, who reigned for a short time and the country was at peace.】

In fact, when seeing this, Ying Zheng knew that this article would be circulated in the world in the future.

Damn, this is so well written!

Although the writing is beautiful, it does not feel empty. It is all well-reasoned and well-founded.

This can be compared with Li Si's literary talent.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Ying Zheng suddenly had the same feeling as when he first became king as a young man and read Li Si's articles.

This person is talented!

In this way, Fusu provoked Ying Zheng's anger with his literary ideas, but also used his talent to calm down Ying Zheng's anger.

The fact that Ying Zheng could become the Qin Shi Huang and be called Zulong by people at that time and later generations shows that he was definitely not just a person with a few talents.

When Ying Zheng read this memorial, he actually had a general feeling in his heart. Fusu seemed to be under some pressure to write this article.

Because the main content of the remonstrance written by Fusu actually revolves around two words - enfeoffment.

The situation is already clear.

After reading the memorial, Ying Zheng had actually guessed what had happened during the period when Fusu was in mourning for the queen.

Ying Zheng began to rub his head, wondering whether he should continue reading this long article.

Because when his son wrote this article, his thoughts were already very obvious.

Now, Ying Zheng could no longer say that his son was thinking of flying out before his feathers had even grown fully.

Ying Zheng had a premonition that a new era would begin with this memorial.

After all, even Ying Zheng himself sometimes found Fusu's thoughts incomprehensible. Although Ying Zheng himself could not explain why, he just believed that he was right.

[When it came to Your Majesty, you continued the legacy of the six generations, wielded the long strategy and ruled the world, swallowed up the two Zhous and destroyed the princes, assumed the supreme position and controlled the world, held the whip and whipped the world, and your power shook the four seas. ]

[In the south, he took the land of the Hundred Yue and made it Guilin and Xiangjun. The rulers of the Hundred Yue bowed their heads and tied their necks, and submitted to the officials. He sent Meng Tian to build the Great Wall in the north to guard the frontier, and pushed the Xiongnu back more than 700 miles. The Hu people did not dare to go south to graze their horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows to complain.]

The attack on the land of Baiyue had been going on for four years. Although it was stuck in a quagmire and there were countless casualties, it was still effective.

As for Meng Tian leading his troops to the north, it was also something that had already happened. Ying Zheng trusted Meng Tian, ​​and the elite troops of the Blue Sky Camp were all in the north, so it was natural for Ying Zheng to hand over the elite troops of the Blue Sky Camp to Meng Tian.

[Famous cities were destroyed, and the heroes were killed. All the soldiers in the world were gathered in Xianyang. The swords were melted down and cast into twelve golden men to weaken the common people. Then the Chinese were cut off to make a city, and the river was used as a ford. The city was a million feet high, and the valley was unpredictable to make it solid.]

[Good generals and strong crossbows guard the key points, loyal ministers and elite soldiers display their sharp weapons, and no one can stop them. Your Majesty believes that Guanzhong is a solid fortress, a thousand miles long, and a legacy for future generations and emperors.]

When Ying Zheng read this, he felt quite refreshed. If you break this article down, it is probably a verse for ancestral temple sacrifices!
The eunuchs around saw Ying Zheng reading an article, and they became nervous, frowned, and then couldn't help laughing out loud. They looked at each other.

In fact, everyone thought of the same name. It was naturally the one who had just returned to the palace.

[However, Qin, with its small territory and power of a thousand chariots, has attracted eight states and made them equals for more than a hundred years. Then it regards the world as its home and the Han Dynasty as its palace. It is only afraid that benevolence and righteousness will not be practiced and the offensive and defensive situation will be different. Ten years later, one man will cause trouble and the seven temples will fall, and he will die at the hands of others and be laughed at by the world! ]

Seeing this, Ying Zheng began to frown again.

Who could have thought that when the article written by Jia Yi a hundred years later was presented to Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang would be angry and want to laugh at the same time.

Of course, the significance of this article goes beyond this.

He was really like a stick, hitting Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng hard on the head.

It made Ying Zheng realize the harsh reality again and deeply feel the numerous crises within the empire.

【Qin unified the country, annexed the princes, and called himself the emperor in the south to rule the four seas. The scholars of the world were so enthusiastic. Why is it so? It is said that there has been no king for a long time in recent times. The Zhou Dynasty was humble, and the five hegemons died. The order was not carried out in the world. Therefore, the princes exerted their power, the strong invaded the weak, the majority oppressed the minority, and the wars never stopped. The scholars and people were exhausted.】

【Now Qin is facing south and ruling the world, so there is an emperor above. Since the people hope to have their lives in peace, they all look up to the emperor with an open mind. At this time, we should maintain our power and achieve success. The key to safety and security lies in this.】

However, the purpose of Fusu writing this memorial was not as simple as making Ying Zheng wake up.

He just wanted to scold Ying Zheng.

Thus, Fusu contributed the first anecdote since the establishment of the imperial system - Prince Hengyang did not hesitate to use harsh words to advise Qin Shihuang for the sake of the world.

When such a huge work against Qin Shihuang appeared in front of Ying Zheng, one can imagine the anger in Ying Zheng's heart.

In the original article, Fusu not only predicted that the six countries would attack Qin again in the future, but also openly and directly criticized Ying Zheng's actions over the years.

[Your Majesty has a greedy heart and acts on his own wisdom. He does not trust his meritorious officials and is not close to the scholars and the people. He abolishes the kingly way and establishes private power. He prohibits documents and imposes cruel laws. He first uses fraud and force and then benevolence and righteousness, and starts with tyranny. ]

【Those who want to conquer others rely on deceit and force, while those who want to maintain stability value obedience and power. This means that the methods of taking and defending are different. Qin left the Warring States period and became the ruler of the world. Its way did not change, and its policies did not alter. This is why its methods of taking and defending were the same.】

【Since he is alone and has it, his demise can be expected. If Your Majesty had studied the affairs of the past and the traces of the Yin and Zhou dynasties to control his government, even if there were licentious and arrogant rulers in the future, there would not be any danger of his downfall.】

This is the end of the article "On the Gains and Losses of Qin". Signed by Fusu.

By the time he finished reading the entire article, Ying Zheng was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
[Friendly reminder, because this article contains Jia Yi's "On the Qin Dynasty", so the number of words published in the article is that I have excluded about 1,000 words of the original word count of "On the Qin Dynasty" from your subscription fee.
