Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 477: Implement benevolent government and establish Confucianism (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
Politicians are good at debating.

What's more, for people like Yao Jia, what he says always stands firm.

Meng Tian saw the opportunity and said:

"Your Majesty, I have heard the words of high-ranking people that if you don't do small things, you can't accomplish big things. In Qin State, Confucianism is the key to governing the country. It is really a major event that affects the foundation of the ancestors. Now Your Majesty has only been on the throne for one year, and the people in the border areas are His Majesty needs to suppress and appease. What His Majesty should do now is to solve the government affairs of the court, not to change the law of the ancestors. If this matter spreads to the border areas, what will the princes and kings appointed by His Majesty think?"

Feng Quji retorted:
"Ever since he was worshiped as the crown prince by the late emperor, Your Majesty has always been concerned about the country of Qin. In the past ten years as the prince, your Majesty has acted with dexterity and made no mistakes. To be fair, your Majesty has made many clever strategies to consolidate the country of Qin. Now, When Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, he was very worried. He was afraid that people's hearts would be divided and the world would change, so he vigorously carried out reforms."

"We are all Legalists, and we must know that Legalist techniques will change with the times. The current situation is different. If we don't change it, we will just sit there and wait for death."

Hearing these words, the Second Emperor was naturally happy and said:

"good."

Yao Jia's face turned green.

"Your Majesty Yao Jia has the guts to ask your Majesty..."

This time, Fusu interrupted Yao Jia without hesitation and directly refuted:

"Yao Jia, don't be presumptuous in the court. I think you are a veteran who has served the late emperor for many years, and you have made great contributions to the capture of Zhao Guo, so I have a lot of tolerance for you. I have made up my mind on this matter."

The emperor was angry with him, and Yao Jia saw that the situation was not good, so he naturally shut up.

Sitting on the throne, the Second King suddenly spoke harshly to the minister Yao Jia, which made many ministers feel sorry for him.

Meng Tian watched Yao Jia retreat to his original seat, as if he had lost an arm.It's just that Yao Jia has long been an old man with no real power. It is natural that the emperor is not afraid of him.

When the Second Emperor saw Dazhu Guo, he wanted to speak again and preemptively said:

"Although I am young, when I was ten years old, I have already heard about the deeds of the ministers in the court. Even, in this court, several generals once taught me the art of riding and shooting. I was worshiped as the prince , settled in Huayang Palace, and succeeded to the throne, it was another 12 years."

"I have been in the palace since I was a child. I have heard about the deeds of all the ministers and have always admired their talents. Although many of the ministers who have made great contributions to the great Qin Dynasty have returned home due to old age and illness, I have visited them all. Now, I Even after I succeed to the throne, I will not dare to forget your contribution to the foundation of our Great Qin Empire."

"In order to always remind myself and the descendants of the clan, I created Lingyan Pavilion. None of the people who are in the position of Duke today are not among them."

"I will never forget the past achievements of the veterans, but I will never forget my original intention of succeeding to the throne, to stabilize the world."

"It's just that I don't understand now. Faced with unprecedented changes in ancient and modern times, the world is one, what do I, the minister, the minister, plan to do?"

The cuts are still messy.

And it becomes more and more confusing.

Fusu had to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and settled the matter with one blow, so there was no need to discuss it any more. He had decided on this matter for the people of the Qin Kingdom, and also for the future kings.

As for what kind of enlightenment and political tool this Confucianism was developed into under the new king's rule, or whether it was brainwashed into a stupid gentleman of benevolence and righteousness, then he couldn't care less.

How can someone not be able to survive tomorrow, but still have to plan everything for a year from now?

"I have something to say today. Anyone who disregards the interests of the empire is provoking me. Lieutenant Ting, according to the laws of Qin, what is the crime for despising the emperor and disrespecting the imperial order?"

Meng Yi still murmured in his heart that the emperor was giving them an ultimatum, and what he said was a naked threat to them, so don't toast or eat fine wine.

Meng Yi did not expect that the emperor would be so firm on this matter, leaving no room for change.

These words made most of the veterans in the court feel cold sweats running down their spines.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly asked him questions again. He was startled at first, and then calmed down.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, anyone who offends Your Majesty will be punished by being cut in half."

Meng Yi didn't say these words loudly, but the word "cut in half" was already shocking.

The punishment of being cut in half is the most cruel.After cutting off the waist, the tortured person will not die immediately. Instead, like a snake with its tail cut off, it will twitch first and die until the blood dries up. Before death, the tortured person will be in great pain.

It's fine for the tortured to bear the pain, and the more difficult one is the torturer. This kind of cruel criminal law is usually imposed in crowded places in the city, in order to serve as a warning.

For a time, the entire Dazheng Palace fell into a dead silence.

No one dared to speak anymore.

Even though Meng Tian had great influence, he could never be greater than the imperial power.

If the emperor issued an edict, he would die.

After the second son finished speaking what was in his heart, he looked at the pale faces of the old ministers, but he didn't feel much pleasure in his heart.

"About Confucianism governing the country, there will be no more discussions in the court. I hope that in the hearts of the people all over the world, there is only one country and one emperor."

"In the future, there will be no more disputes between Confucianism and Legalism in our Qin Dynasty. I have made it clear today that from now on, our Qin's way of governing the country will be Confucianism!"

"In the future, the world's scholars will no longer be allowed to discuss the art of various schools of thought outside the court and the public. If you want to discuss, come to the imperial capital to study."

After saying that, Fusu looked around and asked again:

"Can something start?"

The ministers always kept their heads down, so naturally they had nothing to say.

Fusu couldn't help but frown.

"Disperse."

After finishing speaking, the Second King got up and left with his sleeves shaken, and the hem of the crown swayed accordingly, all of which was filled with anger.

The emperor left with his sword in hand, followed by the Lang Wei, the attendants, and the historian. All the civil and military officials of the court were left bowing in the palace, waving their sleeves into a cloud, and shouting "I will send you off to your Majesty."

When the emperor left, Meng Tian's face froze at first.

As for Yao Jia, he immediately threw back his sleeves in the court and sighed:

"oops--"

He was worried that Qin would no longer be Qin, but he could not say this directly in the court.

Others also sighed, and some had no choice but to chop off their feet.

The generals, seeing Meng Tian stop talking, naturally suppressed what they were saying.

There were sighs left in the air of Dazheng Hall.

Meng Tian clenched his fists, he can be said to hate the new emperor now.But so what, depending on what the emperor wanted, he didn't even care about the veteran officials in the court, but insisted on going his own way, insisting on establishing this Confucian technique.

Just like back then, the late emperor.

It is necessary to establish a system of prefectures and counties.

Meng Tian left the hall, his younger brother Meng Yi naturally followed behind.

The two quickly rode back to the mansion. As soon as they entered the door, Meng Yi said to the guard guarding the door:
"If anyone asks for a visit, don't let him in."

When Meng Tian heard this, he naturally laughed out loud.

Afterwards, the two of them strolled around the mansion. After walking a few steps, they heard someone coming to report that several ministers were asking for an audience.

The two brothers naturally shook their heads and smiled at each other.

"Today, I'm afraid there are many courtiers who are as restless as we are."

"Brother, I think this is inevitable. In fact, among all the schools of thought, Confucianism has the best reputation. Your Majesty founded Confucianism because he wanted to control people's hearts."

"I know that all the ministers in the court know His Majesty's thoughts, but we all oppose His Majesty, just because Your Majesty likes to change. If Your Majesty is the first emperor, if you make such a choice and decision today, even if the people in the court are dissatisfied But there are no disobedient people.”

"But your Majesty, judging from his age, he is only thirty-one, which is when he is young and vigorous. At such an age, his preferences will be changed, which will affect your majesty's prestige in the court. You have also seen today, how your majesty treats us. Although I didn’t say anything evil, I have already ignored the advice of us veterans.”

"I'm worried that this matter will cause confusion among the people in the court."

Meng Yi was also worried after hearing this.

"But the situation has come to this, and who can do anything about it? When I, Qin Xiaogong, carried out the reform, there was a lot of uproar in the court, and I even imposed tattoos on the crown prince and tutor. This was the reason why our Qin State became so strong later."

"Your Majesty's move will definitely lose the support of the old ministers. I don't know what your Majesty will do next."

Meng Yi smiled when he heard this.

"Your Majesty has lost the hearts of many veterans, but he still has the great pillars of the country, my brother."

Meng Tian also smiled when he heard this.

The two brothers walked on the cold stone slabs in the mansion garden, talking and laughing.

"I had calculated everything, but I didn't expect that His Majesty had already prepared this move for me. This is to give me the honor first so that I can support him in this matter."

"Your Majesty has a plan for a long time. Since he has arranged for the veterans of the court in advance, he must also have other arrangements for those veterans. What I am worried about is that Yao Jia colludes with other ministers."

Meng Tian said directly:
"At the end of the battle, it will be useless. Moreover, Yao Jia may not dare to speak out to stop His Majesty the Emperor."

"What if he did go?"

"No matter how fast the elk runs, it can't outrun the arrow."

Meng Yi's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

The emperor would kill Yao Jia to silence his ministers.

"If this is really the case, wouldn't it be a chilling experience for other veterans?"

Meng Tian didn't speak again.

At this time, it was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and the world was clear and cold.There are green trees everywhere on the distant mountains, all shrouded in smoke.

On the bare ground, there are some strange rocks.

The emperor left the Dazheng Palace and went to Shanglin Garden alone.

Fusu hoped to see competition between several major forces in North Korea and China, but the vicious competition between several major forces would eventually create a mess in North Korea and China, leading to disunity among the people in North Korea and China.

There must be partisanship, but there must be a limit.

But in the current situation, Confucianism and Legalism seem to be incompatible, which is absolutely not acceptable, so Fusu can only castrate Confucianism.

Fan Zeng was accompanying the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was so unhappy, he naturally stepped forward to solve his problems.

"Your Majesty, today His Majesty announced in the court hall that respecting Confucianism is the art of governing the country. The problems that tormented His Majesty in the past have finally been resolved. Why is Your Majesty even more troubled than before?"

Standing on the chariot, Fusu looked at the blue-gray trees all over the mountains and plains, and said with great melancholy:

"The winter is cold and the spring is getting warmer. But the transition between winter and spring is the most difficult to endure. Yao Jia used to be a vassal of the late emperor in the court, and he was also a man who had both sides among the courtiers. But now he stood up in this matter. It can be seen that there are many people behind him who support him. Although they do not have any real power in their hands, they are all famous officials left by the late emperor."

Fan Zeng just smiled after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember General Chi?"

How could Fusu forget the person who came to Ying Zheng to report him every day?

"What's up with him?"

"I used to serve His Majesty in the palace with him, and I heard that he told many things about the late emperor's initial accession to the throne."

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Fan Zeng's face tightened.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, how did the late emperor's majesty rise in the court?"

"Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished. Rewards and punishments should be clearly defined to show fairness."

After Fusu said this, he continued to look at the mountains and rivers without looking back.

This is just a show of words. In fact, if Ying Zheng is not obedient, he will be killed.

Therefore, punishment and killing are used to establish authority, and no ministers dare to disobey.

Fan Zeng was also solemn after hearing these words.

"I believe that His Majesty is also a person who upholds justice in the world like the late Emperor, but until now, there is no one for His Majesty to reward and punish."

"You mean to let me take this opportunity to punish some people. But how can I easily touch the late emperor's meritorious officials?"

Fan Zeng wanted to speak, but looked around.

Fusu had no choice but to tell these people to stay away from him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that in the past, there was a minister in the Qin Kingdom who was a party member of the Queen Mother Xia. The late emperor ordered him to fight an unwinnable war, and finally punished him according to the law."

Fusu waved his hand.

"I understand. Your idea is a good one."

"These are all the instructions that General Chi gave to his ministers before he left. General Chi knows that Your Majesty wants to establish an image of a benevolent king in front of the people of the world, and will not shout and kill easily. But General Chi knows better that the courtiers of the late emperor They are all a bunch of people with the heart of tigers and wolves, and it is really difficult for Your Majesty to suppress them without execution."

Chiwu...

This guy, I didn't expect him to take this matter into consideration.

As if in this cold and desolate wilderness, Fusu suddenly saw a red flower, which was dazzling and warmed the second generation's chest.

"The edict is proposed - I will appoint Chi Wu as the governor."

After Fan Zeng heard this, he naturally wanted to slap himself on the head.

Why was he so honest and told the emperor directly that this idea was left to him by Chi Wu?

"In this case, I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of General Chi."

Fusu looked at Fan Zeng's face, but the fruits of his hard work were eaten by others.

"Fan Zeng, I plan to let you serve in the court."

After hearing this, Fan Zeng's eyes naturally became angry again.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for a minister in civilian clothes to enter the court rashly, with a low status."

"I have long planned to promote people from the Chancellery to discuss matters in the DPRK, but there are no vacancies in the DPRK. I recently plan to reform the positions in the DPRK and set up six departments to handle the world's government affairs."

"These six departments will naturally belong to the Prime Minister's sect, and you will work among the six departments in the future."

(Please vote for me! This shouldn’t be difficult.)
