Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 365: It is better for the Yi and Di to have a king than for the Xia to perish (please give me a monthly recommendation!)
Chapter 193 The miraculous effects brought about by the overlap of the two systems

In the winter of the same year, Qin withdrew its army and returned home, scattering 50 troops.

The Emperor of Qin granted Gongzi Yu and Gongzi Chang to go to the land of Qi, grant them the title of king, and make them rule.

Emperor Qin made Mrs. Xuanyang, the former princess of Chu State, his queen and issued an edict to the world.

(See this chapter for details)

In the spring of the 29th year of Emperor Qin's reign, he granted the title of Prince to Chu.

----

In the summer of the 29th year of Qinhuang, Yingzheng visited the east, passed Mount Tai, and enshrined Zen.Lord Dongyang, Marquis Wucheng, Marquis Yongwu, and Marquis Wuxin all accompanied him, and the other 72 doctors accompanied eight others.

Yingzheng and others stood at the foot of Mount Tai, looking at the towering Mount Tai, naturally there were old people who were afraid.

Wang Wan looked at the towering Mount Tai, trembling slightly, and large beads of sweat fell from his cheeks.

In just one or two years, Wang Wan has aged rapidly.The hair on the temples has all been dyed white, and the face is even more ravine.

Now in the court, the Wang family, Feng family, and Meng family are for everyone.Wang Ben took his salary and cultivated at home for half a year. As a marquis, he also came here under the imperial edict on this east tour.

Ying Zheng looked at the majestic Mount Tai and felt that his chest was filled with something extremely clear.

During this tour, I saw famous mountains and rivers along the way, with green grass shining like jasper from a distance.

When Fusu lived in ancient times, he began to believe that thousands of years ago, there was indeed spiritual energy among all things in the world.

Perhaps, in this time and space, a thunder can help a person attain enlightenment.

Fusu was stroking his mustache, lost in mind wandering.

Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching.

Fusu looked back and saw that it was Zhou Qingchen.

Zhou Qingchen is now another fat-bellied man in the court.

"Your Majesty, Mount Tai has always been extremely high, and only the Emperor can offer sacrifices to it. If Your Majesty wants to go up the mountain, you should wrap your wheel with cattails and ride on a light chariot."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Mount Tai again. Mount Tai was so high that it reached into the clouds. Naturally, Ying Zheng was dissatisfied.

"Mount Tai is hundreds of feet high. If I follow your advice, how long will it take for me to climb Mount Tai?"

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy.

The sky was gloomy, and at most it would be a heavy rain, but the emperor's face was gloomy, and that would be fatal.

Zhou Qingchen naturally did not dare to say more and just stepped back.

But after this retreated, other great scholars began to discuss it again.

Chunyu Yue walked up naturally.

Fusu looked at Chunyu Yue and couldn't help but feel depressed.

His teacher still had the same temper even when the crow turned white.

And this is what Fusu is worried about.

Because Chun Yuyue had spoken out against Emperor Qin not once or twice, but the main focus was on the word "ritual".

In particular, worshiping mountains and rivers along the way requires Confucianism to preside over etiquette, and Chun Yuyue and Zhou Qingchen, several great Confucians who can accompany them, always appear from time to time and say that this should be done and that should be done.

But Chun Yuyue's reputation for integrity was known to both the government and the public.

Ying Zheng has always attached great importance to his reputation. He needs Confucian scholars. This was the original intention of setting up Dr. 72.

So even though Chunyu Yue contradicted him many times, Ying Zheng still appreciated his face and would not pursue it.

Chunyu Yue took the initiative and said:

"Your Majesty, it is said in "The Analects of Confucius·Bayi": It is not as good for the Yi and Di to have kings as for the Xia to perish."

Although the Yi and Di people have monarchs, it is worse than the Central Plains countries having no monarchs.

"Our country is regarded as China, and the reason why it is different from other barbarians and other barbarians is the word "rite". Your Majesty now regards you as the emperor and comes to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. This is to inherit the order of the Emperor of Zhou and restore the origin of rites. This is a great event. Minister. I personally think that Your Majesty must establish Zhou Li to do it."

Ying Zheng's face turned green after hearing this.

"What do you mean, I should return to the Zhou rites?"

Fusu's face also darkened, the master was really too stubborn.

Chunyu Yue's face turned slightly blue.

"Your Majesty, Ji's family was traveling in Mount Tai. His son said to Ran You, "How can I save my daughter? He replied: "No." Confucius said: "Wow!"Is it ever said that Mount Tai is not as good as Lin Fang? 'The Master once said that since the Three Ancients, worshiping and offering sacrifices to the sacred mountain is related to the state, and only the emperor is qualified to worship it. After the Qin Dynasty, it was called "Fengchan".Therefore, Confucius said that those who dare to violate the prohibition of offering sacrifices to Mount Tai are not as good as ordinary people who know etiquette and rules. "

When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes sank.

"Since Your Majesty has accepted the order from the Emperor of Zhou, you should do everything according to Zhou's etiquette. Otherwise, celebrities all over the world will definitely use this to discuss His Majesty the Emperor."

Chunyu Yue spoke respectfully, with both demeanor and tone being extremely appropriate. However, even though he respectfully asked Ying Zheng to observe etiquette, Ying Zheng became even more angry.

Your Majesty shall take over the order of Emperor Zhou...

I am the emperor, far superior to the emperor.

Ying Zheng never expected that in the past, he liked to hear the rhetoric that Qin was responsible for water virtue, Zhou was responsible for fire virtue, and Qin's destruction of Zhou was the mission of inheriting the Zhou Dynasty, but now it would be so widely used by Confucian scholars.

"I am the emperor, who dares to slander me?"

Ying Zheng looked stern.

Chunyu Yue didn't show any signs of fear, but he believed that a country that doesn't respect etiquette is bound to not last long.

Chunyu Yue just sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

When Wang Wan saw it, he just said:
"This sacrifice to Mount Tai is just for His Majesty's prestige. In my opinion, there should be less of this false courtesy."

As soon as these words come out,

Of course, efforts to restore Zhou rites were not just Chunyu Yue’s idea.

In the Qin State, Confucianism and Legalism have always been at odds with each other.Confucianism consolidated the patriarchal system with the system of rituals and music, and the patriarchal system obviously took root in the Qin State, but Confucian scholars have recently become more and more vocal about returning to Confucianism.

This seems to have a lot to do with the absence of Li Si in the DPRK.

At least, now, the Qin State should not make any big moves anymore. Fusu only hopes that Emperor Qin can spend his old age peacefully in the next few years and not bother with any big things.

Legalism has always advocated practicality and pursued practical benefits.

Comparing the two, Legalism is obviously more practical, while Confucianism has a lot of red tape, which can be seen along the way.

In a sense, many Confucian etiquette are exactly the feudal etiquette criticized by modern people.

As for Chunyu Yue, Fusu thought, such a person cannot just watch him go on the road of self-destruction.

Soon, they will arrive at Linzi County.

Chunyu Yue's hometown is in Linzi County.

Jixia Academy needs someone to preside over it.

Fusu walked over.

"My father-in-law, I remember that in "The Analects of Confucius·Eight Yi", it said: Lin Fang asked about the origin of rites. Confucius said: "What a great question!It is better to be thrifty than to be extravagant in etiquette; it is better to be sad than to be easy in mourning. 'Instead of red tape, extravagance and extravagance, it is better to be simple and simple; instead of changing etiquette and complicated procedures, it is better to be solemn and respectful.Today, your father personally went to Mount Tai from Xianyang, Guanzhong, to enshrine Zen here. The mountain is high and the road is far away, and everyone in the world knows it. This is enough to rectify the name of your father. "

"Furthermore, due to your sincerity, the gold and stone are also opened. Your father, together with the famous people from all over the world, led our great Qin tiger generals and warriors to gather on the top of Mount Tai. They came from a long way and the momentum was huge. I think the god of Mount Tai must have known about it. "

　(The Qin Dynasty should have had a queen. The official positions of the Qin Dynasty were perfectly preserved, and there were clear regulations on the levels of palace attendants of the queen and the prince. Although it is now certain that the Qin Emperor did not establish a prince, the queen, historically There is no record proving that the Qin Emperor established a queen, but there is also no record that the Qin Emperor did not establish a queen.)
　　(In addition, we often see the Queen of Qin appearing in other books during the Qin Dynasty, so they must have more evidence. In fact, the biological mother had a psychological impact on Ying Zheng, which is not very reliable. When Ying Zheng was young, Maybe he felt disgusted. But in the environment at that time, that is, in the Han Dynasty, the concept of chastity between men and women was not that important. In other words, in a noble family, Ying Zheng felt that his face had been damaged, but in fact, when he grew up, he did not care about this kind of thing It should be taken lightly.

　　You have to know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once took his half-sister back from the palace.

　　As mentioned before, the relationship between the sexes in this era is actually very open.

　　There is a saying of adultery, but there is no such suffix as adultery.

　　The above is just my personal opinion.
