Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 235: Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Seeing the gloomy face of the First Emperor, Zhou Qingchen felt timid.

Burning poems and books will inevitably be opposed by scholars all over the world.

Zhou Qingchen also knew this truth, so he came.

He wanted to imitate Mao Jiao and advise the First Emperor in order to win the First Emperor's favor and seek a high position.

But when he took a sneak peek at the Emperor's face, he was so frightened that his legs almost became weak, and naturally he did not dare to speak.

"Come to see me now, what do you want?"

A low voice came from the seat above.

This question also made Zhou Qingchen tremble slightly. His Majesty asked them such a question directly before letting them get back on their feet.

Zhou Qingchen couldn't sit still, so he swallowed and his throat was choked. He wanted to wait for Chunyu Yue to speak first.

Zhou Qingchen, he was a doctor who entered the palace on the recommendation of ministers.His talent is geometry, and he knows it well.

And the person next to him, Chun Yuyue, had a big background.

Chunyu Yue came from Jixia Academy. Although he was not a disciple of Xunqing, he was a famous Confucian scholar in Qi State.

In both the government and the public, when it comes to learning, under Li Si, there is Chunyu Yue.

This is well known to everyone in the ruling and opposition parties.

The only difference is that Li Si is now a complete believer in Legalism.

As early as when the Seven Kingdoms still existed, he had already seen that the fate of the world would be dominated by Qin, and the monarch of Qi was ignorant and incompetent, so Chunyu Yue gave up on Qi and came to Qin to serve the king of Qin.

Although he chose Qin, Qin did not choose him, nor did he choose Confucianism.

It is actually not easy to have a place in the Qin court where the country is governed by law.

Although, Chun Yuyue did it.

Chun Yuyue, who was upright and knowledgeable, was quickly noticed by Ying Zheng, and was later designated as the master of the current prince.

The atmosphere in Zhangtai Palace can be described as very depressing. Zhou Qingchen still maintained a bowing posture, knowing that Yingzheng was in front, so he didn't dare to move around, and it was difficult to peek at Chunyuyue with his eyes.

On the other hand, Chunyu Yue saw that Ying Zheng was angry, so he took a slight breath from his lower abdomen, and then admonished Ying Zheng.

"I don't know about the burning of books, but has His Majesty made a decision?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng restrained his anger and tried his best to stay calm.

The matter was of great importance, and Ying Zheng was not a man who acted on impulse.

"What's your objection?"

The copper hair crown on top adds a lot of nobility and grandeur to his temperament; and his wealth of knowledge not only makes him elegant and calm.

What is even more eye-catching is that Chun Yuyue has a righteous energy radiating from the inside out.

Although he has a head full of black and white hair, his sharp eyes tell others that he is ambitious.

"Your Majesty, if you are here today, it is time for Your Majesty to show kindness and righteousness to the world and win the hearts of the people of the world. If Your Majesty burns books at this time, it will definitely provoke criticism from the world. Your Majesty will decide the matter again."

Ying Zheng stood up suddenly.

He frowned, holding the seven-foot long sword, and paced back and forth on the shiny smooth floor of the hall.

This question has troubled him for too long.

"Should we use Confucianism or Legalism to govern the world?"

Ying Zheng looked at Chun Yuyue.

He is the most outstanding representative of Confucianism.

At this time, Chunyu Yue fell into silence.

If ten years ago, when he first came to Qin, he would have said affirmatively to Ying Zheng, and naturally he would use Confucianism.

But now, it is difficult for Chun Yuyue to answer this question.

Chun Yuyue really hoped that Confucianism would be reused, but he had been in Qin State for many years and knew Qin State's national policy very well.

Qin, a country that relied on the laws of the Shang Dynasty and used farming and warfare to make Qin, a weak country in the past, become a powerful country in the world. However, under the advocacy of the young prince, it was able to truly actively change the law for the benefit of all people in the world.

In fact, this move is already very rare in Qin.

And Chunyu Yue also knew that this was actually a choice made by His Majesty in order to consolidate the unification of the world.

Whether to choose Confucianism or Legalism is a question that Chunyuyue has a hard time deciding, but Chunyuyue understands very well.

Your Majesty can attack the world with violence, but it is not feasible to rule the world with violence.

As for His Majesty's personality, Chunyu Yue naturally knew it well.

Once His Majesty decides something, he will definitely do it and it will definitely be done.

Your Majesty's views will never change easily.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

It is naturally very difficult for His Majesty to change his mind.

Chunyu thought about it more and more, and finally said:

"I only know that your Majesty's words will determine the lives of all people in the world."

When Chunyu Yue said this, there was a hint of pleading in his tone.

Ying Zheng also sighed after hearing this.

Ying Zheng sat back slightly weakly, but his eyes still had the usual determination and sharpness.

Ying Zheng looked at Chunyu Yue and his tone was very stern.

"Chun Yuyue, have you read Han Fei's works?"

Chunyu Yue nodded happily.

"Han Fei is a master of Legalist theory, and I have indeed dabbled in it."

Ying Zheng put one hand on the armrest of the seat, held the long sword with the other, and tapped the hilt with his index finger.

"Then do you still remember Han Fei's article "Five Beetles"?"

Chunyu Yue bowed his head.

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"The sage does not expect to revise the ancients, lawlessness is always possible, and the affairs of the world are prepared for it. People in the Song Dynasty had plows, and there were plants in the field. The rabbit ran away and touched the plants, and died of breaking their necks. I got the rabbit. I can’t get the rabbit again, but I am a Song Guoxiao. Today, if you want to govern the people of the world with the government of the former king, you are all guarding the tree.”

The more Chunyu listened, his heart became numb, as if he had fallen into a cold well.

A chill invaded his internal organs.

Unexpectedly, Han Fei died nine years ago, but His Majesty still believed in Han Fei's article.

It turns out that the reason why His Majesty refused to use Confucianism to govern the world is here.

The king of the future cannot use the methods of the past, otherwise he will just wait and see.

There is truth in this statement.

Chunyu Yue indeed had the intention to refute, but when he was still lowering his head to organize his words, Ying Zheng said directly:
"If I adopt the Confucian strategy and extend favor to the people, wouldn't it mean that I am following the path of Yao, Shun, and Yu? Extending kindness and righteousness to the world is not an effective way to govern the people."

After hearing this, Zhou Qingchen suddenly became interested in Han Fei.

Han Fei, according to rumors, doesn't he stutter?

And such a stutterer, he actually died, and he made His Majesty the Emperor always remember his articles.

When Chunyu Yue heard this, his whole figure seemed to be suddenly blown by a gust of wind to the cold land of Yanbei.

In my heart, it feels cold.

Your Majesty's words can be said to have determined the future fate of Confucianism in Qin.

But Zhou Qingchen didn't feel much about this.He had long seen that it was impossible for Qin to govern the country using Confucian methods.

But this does not mean that they Confucian people have no place to succeed.

He, Zhou Qingchen, could use other methods to win His Majesty's favor and obtain a certain position.

Ying Zheng said to Chunyu Yue.

"Be flat."

Chunyu Yue and Zhou Qingchen stood up to thank them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng said again.

"Private education must be banned among the people; as for burning books..."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng began to frown.

And Chunyu Yue also had his heart in his throat.

While Zhou Qingchen was looking forward to Ying Zheng, he was also trying hard to come up with effective ways to help His Majesty solve this matter in exchange for His Majesty's respect.
