Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 232: Burning books, doing the opposite (please give me a monthly recommendation!)

"Your Majesty, although the world is unified now, communication is inconvenient due to different writing styles. Therefore, Your Majesty is determined to unify the writing style to strengthen people's hearts. But I heard that the scholars from all over the world who came to Xianyang to serve are now also reading books from the Six Kingdoms. Old books Above, they are all written in the six countries of the past."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he naturally raised his eyebrows.

Six Kingdoms...

"I sincerely request your majesty to collect all the books in the world that are not written by Qin."

Fusu was angry.Li Si, are you playing with me?

This Li Si first gave him a sweet date, and then slapped him.

I asked him why he was so friendly to me all of a sudden today.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court began to glare at him.

This method is quite new.

Lis continued:
"Today the emperor has the world, and there is no distinction between black and white. There is only one emperor. He teaches privately and does not teach others. When people hear the order, they will discuss it according to their own learning. When they enter, their minds will be wrong, and when they go out, they will discuss in the streets. They will praise the master in order to gain fame and take the differences. If he thinks he is superior, he will lead his subordinates to create slander."

Private study...

You can't ban something like learning.

Fusu had long thought about building a national government school, but Yingzheng didn't allow it at the time.

But this Li Si, the people have just been in a relatively peaceful environment after the war, and Ying Zheng's decree to rest and recuperate has made the people feel more at ease.

Fusu only felt that he was acting like a monster.

During this period of recuperation, find something for the people to do.Wouldn't it be good to let the people at the bottom work to make money and farm the land to get food?

Lis continued:
"If there is no prohibition, then the main force will be lowered from above, and the party will be lowered. It is convenient to prohibit it."

"I invite historians and non-Qin scribes to burn them."

"Instead of being a doctorate official, if there are people in the world who dare to collect poems, books, and hundreds of schools of thought, they will be burned by Yishou and Weiza. If there are people who dare to even talk about poems and books, they will abandon the market. The ancients are not the current ones. The officials know it when they see it. Anyone who fails to do so will be guilty of the same crime. He is ordered not to burn it for thirty days, and he will be tattooed as a city guard. Those who do not move will be given a book on medicine, divination, and tree planting. If you want to learn the law, take the officials as your teachers."

As soon as these remarks came out, the Confucian scholars in the court naturally found it difficult to sit down.

Even Hu Wujing, the Taishi Ling from Qi State, couldn't help but look troubled.

This matter is not the first time Li Si has mentioned it to Ying Zheng.

Dang Fusu also refuted this matter to Ying Zheng at the time.

Ke Fusu stepped forward immediately.

"Your Majesty, I think that what Li Jijiu said is very true. Fang is the next one today, and the culture and education are more unified. All books in non-Qin languages ​​should be banned."

This is not what Fusu said.

Chunyu Yue's face turned red with anger.

The prince actually agreed to this matter?

It is a fact that everyone knows that the prince is gentle, but why does the prince agree with Li Si's idea on this matter?

When Wang Wan heard this, she felt that something was wrong with the prince.

In fact, Wang Wan could see that the prince had always wanted to suppress Li Si.

Li Si's position from being a court lieutenant to serving as a wine worshiper would not have been unrelated to the prince.

Because the proposal to establish an official school was originally proposed by the prince.

In name, the new law was to be reformed, and Li Si studied both Confucianism and Legalism and had extensive knowledge, so he was the most suitable candidate.

However, Wang Wan actually understood that the prince was wrong. The prince was used by His Majesty, but he was also protected by His Majesty.

In fact, His Majesty deliberately chose Li Si to offer wine to the Crown Prince. This move was precisely to thoroughly implement the new law and shift the focus of criticism in the DPRK from the Crown Prince to Li Si.

Ying Zheng knew that Li Si's reputation and status among the government and the public was actually no less than Wang Wan.

Asking Li Si to preside over the new law actually shifted the focus of public attention from Fusu to Li Si.

Ying Zheng relied heavily on Li Si.

His Majesty demoted Li Si's official position on the grounds of political reform. In fact, he also had the intention of protecting him.

Not only that, the people in Xianyang City were talking a lot about paper, and His Majesty did not allow paper to be used among the people.This matter is actually damaging to His Majesty's reputation.

Li Si is a great person.

In this way, in fact, the prince is actually insignificant in these matters.

Wang Wan also knew that although the prince was in charge of the internal history of Su, he did not have any real power, and Kui Zhuang was still responsible for many things.

The prince is the one who listens to the government in the court.

But since you agree with Li Si, the nature of the matter has completely changed.

Ying Zheng also felt that something was wrong.

Ying Zheng knew the nature of his son very clearly.

In Fusu's view, burning poems and books is a very cruel thing.

Therefore, Ying Zheng became suspicious.

What's more, Ying Zheng actually knew that Fusu was actually somewhat resistant to Li Si.

Fusu's sudden change gave Yingzheng a terrible thought.

After contacting Li Si just now, he suggested combining unified text and promotional paper, Ying Zheng began to panic.

Fusu wants to form a party with Li Si?

Yingzheng has always liked the rivalry between the various factions in the DPRK and China to check and balance each other.

From the moment Rang decided to let Fu Su participate in politics, Ying Zheng had already begun to make plans.

Referring to Wang Wan's daughter, it was the foundation that paved the way for Fusu to enter the court and participate in politics.

Behind Wang Wan, there is only one Wang family.

Moreover, Wang Wan is old.By the time Wang Wan succeeds and retires, Fusu will be able to take charge of his own business.

But behind Li Si, the Feng family alone was already powerful enough.Moreover, Ying Zheng knew that Pushe Zhou Qingchen and Chun Yuyue had a good relationship with him.

Legalists naturally agreed when they heard what Li Si said.

The world is unified and all books that have nothing to do with Qin should naturally be destroyed.

When the Confucian scholars heard that they wanted to burn poems and books, they were naturally very angry.

Chunyu Yue was very angry and stepped forward immediately.

"Your Majesty, I believe that burning books is absolutely unacceptable."

Zhou Qingchen also stepped forward to second the proposal.

"Your Majesty, I believe that burning books is completely unnecessary."

Only then did Ying Zheng speak.

"This matter will be discussed later."

When Fusu heard this, he was secretly happy.

Ying Zheng promised to discuss it later, but he refused to agree to the matter.

It seems that his opposite approach is effective.

Opposing Li Si not only showed that he had different opinions from the Legalists and made him enemies; it also showed that he, the prince, was weak in literature and was doing the opposite, allowing the Legalists in the court to see his manner.

Not only that, Fusu spoke for Li Si, which changed the nature of the matter.

If he does this, he will once again break the original balance of power between North Korea and China.

Ying Zheng appointed him as the governor of Su Neishi, appointed Meng Yi as the court captain, and asked Li Si to serve as the Taixue sacrificial wine, which was the first balance of power after unification.

Fusu's power to govern the internal history of Su was empty, but the status of the prince was real, and it was Ying Zheng who once again deliberately consolidated Fusu's status as prince.

Fusu knew that Ying Zheng was paving the way for him.

And Meng Yi's Tingwei is real, and Li Si's Taixue sacrifice wine is even more real.

For most scholars who came to Xianyang, the first person they wanted to seek refuge with was Li Si.

Li Si's book of admonishment and expelling guests was once again recited by scholars.

You know, as a prince, Fusu was also in charge of the internal history of Su.The power is in his hands, he can't touch it, and when something happens, he has nothing to say.

Just like Wang Wan, he stood in the Dazheng Palace and kept silent except for very important matters.

So when the prince suddenly openly spoke for a very powerful person in the court, he also agreed with him.

Everyone began to murmur in their hearts.

This has not happened before.

Moreover, Fusu believed that Yingzheng might not accept Lisi's proposal to burn the book at this time.Because at this time, Confucianism had not yet mentioned the restoration of the feudal system and did not offend the First Emperor.

(Hey, I have an exam. I may take a day or two off soon. I hope you understand.)
