Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 223: The Harm of Thoughts, Burning Poems and Books (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
Upon hearing this, the official of the CRRC had no choice but to retreat.

In Zhangtai Palace, the atmosphere began to become depressing again.

Nowadays, Zhao Gao, a "frequent visitor" in Zhangtai Palace, does not come to Zhangtai Palace often because he is busy compiling and formulating laws.

On the contrary, it was the Zhongche Mansion Order who came in and out of Zhangtai at all times.

This is the result of Ying Zheng's frequent travels recently.

"It seems that your old temperament is back. You keep saying that you want to rule the country according to Han Fei's laws, but deep down, you still have the Confucian benevolence and righteousness!"

If you really believe in Confucianism, then you are finished.

"My son thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Legalism or Confucianism. Conquering cities and conquering territory depends on conquest by force, but subduing people's hearts must be done through education."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

"Have you forgotten? Han Fei once said in the article "Five Worms", 'The people obey the power, and the few are righteous!'"

When Fusu heard what Ying Zheng said, he knew that he had suddenly fallen back into his old mindset of using violence to rule the world.

"Strong suppression will make the people surrender for a while, but they will never surrender for the rest of their lives. This principle was discussed with the king's father last time, and the king's father agreed. Moreover, the king's father has agreed to the reform, and the new law is about to come out. My son is delighted to hear that some people in Xinzheng urgently need the implementation of the new law. Why is your father changing his mind now?"

"Are you questioning me?"

Fusu immediately buried his head and bowed respectfully:
"I don't dare. I just discuss the matter."

Fusu instantly disguised himself as a kitten.

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched upward, and he was very dissatisfied with Fu Su's 'show of weakness'.

"Let's just discuss the matter. If Yao Jia is not old, I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat you today."

Fusu only felt that these words were scolding him.

Talking about the matter, Yao Jia's argumentative skills were deceiving people into doing stupid things, while he was trying to persuade Ying Zheng to do things that were beneficial to the empire.

Moreover, Yao Jia claimed to be from a political strategist, but in fact, he only read the books of basic political strategists and did not even have a master.

And he was from a serious debate team.

It is based on facts and has strict logical thinking. It cannot be said that I have experienced many battles, but I know that the fundamental purpose of this debate is to reason, not to deceive.

Fusu said again:

"There is a big difference between reasoning and sophistry."

Ying Zheng was naturally stunned again.

Fusu understood a truth long ago that the most precious thing in this world is the love between father and son.

Therefore, it is okay to be presumptuous in front of Ying Zheng occasionally.

After all, he is Ying Zheng's eldest son.

Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned pale.

The attendants on the left and right couldn't help but worry about Fusu, but Fusu was indeed standing in front of the paint case calmly.

At the end, Ying Zheng took a breath. He suppressed the helplessness in his heart and his love for Fu Su, and said seriously:
"I allowed you to change the law before. That's because the law is more important than punishment, and the people are forced to obey the punishment, so they will obediently obey my orders. And if your behavior spreads out, why won't the people of the world respect you? Look, Look at the ministers in the court. If I hadn't been here, do you think you could still stand in front of me today?"

"My father has answered this question before. Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up after hearing this.

For a prince, with such courage, there is no need to worry about accomplishing great things.

I have a successor!
Ying Zheng stared at Fusu's determined eyes for a long time, but Fusu did not flinch.

This made Ying Zheng worry again.

Fusu is so powerful, no one would give in, he followed others, but now that he is in court, it is easy to make enemies everywhere.

Ying Zheng was helpless.

Today, he was completely in no mood to go see Li Shanling.

"So you want to rely on paper to educate those common people and let them read and write, so that those common people can stand up?"

"Why not? Why do the officers and men frequently oppose the reform? It's because in the Qin State, the only way to promote the common people is military merit."

"So, you want to open up a third way for those common people?"

"Since the world is unified, we should practice virtuous governance. The era of ending wars with wars and ending punishments with punishments has long passed. If the Qin State goes militarily, the people of the Guandong region will only continue to criticize our reputation as a country of tigers and wolves. To resist it. If the country is one but the people are not united, then sooner or later this unified situation in the world will fall apart."

"Falling apart? There are widows, who in the world dares to rebel?"

Fusu didn't dare to refute this. If he refuted this again, he would be really stupid.

Seeing that Fu Su was silent, Ying Zheng thought that Fu Su was convinced by him.

"You do have a good idea. You should educate the children of the common people, order them to make laws, and be loyal to me in the future. However, this matter has a great impact. If nothing else, the national power is not enough to support this matter. Therefore, this matter in the world of culture and education Things, please don’t mention it again in the future.”

Fusu moved his lips, full of ideas and ideas that had not yet been implemented.

Ying Zheng said again.

"Do you know what Li Si said to the widow a few days ago?"

"Please give me your instructions, Mr. Jun."

"Li Si gave advice to me, and hundreds of schools of thought followed their own ways. Scholars all over the world even discussed my government. Li Si advised me to burn all the books and classics written by me that were not Qin's."

This……

How is this possible.

There are going to be reforms, and for these people, King Qin's intention is very clear, as long as you are willing to work for Qin, Qin will give you a bite to eat.

"I feel that the scholar's slander against the king and father cannot be trusted. We should find out before making a decision."

Li Si is a werewolf.

Presumably, he wanted to use his authority to do something practical for Ying Zheng.

Although Fusu's words were clever, Ying Zheng still heard them.

Fusu doesn't like Li Si.

"Li Si has assisted me for many years and served me wholeheartedly. How could he deceive me?"

At this time, Fusu didn't know what to say to Li Si.

Legalism has always advocated oneness.

Obviously, it is almost impossible for Li Si, an extreme Legalist, to integrate the principles of hundreds of schools of thought into Legalism and create another Confucian school.

Confucianism——

Confucianism——

Confucianism again——

It is not without reason that it can exist for 2000 years. Even Fusu himself cannot avoid this Confucianism.

It was undoubtedly Fusu's mistake to ask Li Si to make the sacrificial wine.

If Zhang Cang were ten years older, he would definitely protect him as a sacrificial wine.

Soon, Fusu thought of another person.

He is also a highly respected figure who plays an important role in the government.

If he is allowed to serve as the sacrificial wine, Taixue will definitely attract more people by then.

And it is impossible for him to serve as a sacrificial wine without merit.

All civil and military officials must be convinced.

Fu Su came back to his senses.

"It may not be that Taixue Jijiu deceived the king's father. It must be that Li Jijiu was also deceived."

Naturally, Ying Zheng didn't believe this.

If Fusu was deceived by the Confucian people, Ying Zheng believed it, but Li Si, who was nearly sixty years old, how could he be deceived.

Fusu saw Ying Zheng's expression and forced himself to explain.

"Now is the time when hundreds of schools are vying to come to Qin to serve your father. There are many talents in Xianyang City for a while. The person who spread this rumor must not want to see our great Qin attracting scholars from all over the world to come and serve, so they did it on purpose. If your father is Once you burn poems and books, it will play into the hands of those people."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

"You're right."

Fusu now has his own opinions on everything.

However, his desire to reform the law caused great conflicts between him and the generals, which worried Ying Zheng very much.

(Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!)
