Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 479 is really a dilemma (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Xue Ji smiled softly and patted Gong Zizhen's hand.

"It's good if you understand this."

Gongzihuo snuggled next to Xueji.

"Mother--I caused my mother to be despised by my father. Will my father never come to visit me in the future?"

"Do not--"

Xue Ji smiled and touched her belly with her other hand happily.

"Your Majesty will not fail to come."

"Why?"

"I will give you another sister."

Gongzi Hui was naturally puzzled.

"Why do all the other ladies want to have a boy, but only the mother is looking forward to having a girl?"

"It's all because your father likes princesses."

Princess - The emperor loved princesses.Because the emperor believed that the princess would not pose a threat to the throne.

She didn't think this was a good thing in the past. It wasn't until recently that she discovered that the late emperor's daughters had all been married to Wang and Meng as wives and concubines. Only then did she realize that she could use her daughter to pave the way for her son.

When the time comes, she will choose the two princesses under her knees to the powerful people in the court. When the time comes, there will be people behind Hao'er to support her.

Asun knew the hard work of giving birth in October of pregnancy, and thoughtfully said:
"I know that my mother is determined to please my father for the sake of my future. It's just that I'm afraid of disappointing my mother. After all, my father's quote today asked me to remember my status as a bastard. Since my fate has been determined since I was born, why should I do that? Let’s fight.”

The emperor's words today were too unpleasant, and Gongzi Hui had to face his status as a concubine.

However, Xue Ji didn't take it seriously.

"My child, don't rush to draw conclusions about your life. Many years ago, I thought I was going to die of old age in the Palace of King Qi. Who could have imagined that I would now be on the bedside of the Lord of the World."

"The reason why I'm asking you to study hard now is to prepare you before you encounter an opportunity. You know, if you don't have the ability, you won't be able to grasp the opportunity even if you encounter it."

"Whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine, nothing is absolute in this world. What is really fatal is that he knows that he is inferior to others but does not work hard. For such a person, even if the opportunity falls in front of him, he will not be able to seize it. "

After hearing this, Hui nodded repeatedly as if he understood.

"Okay, you order people to clean up, and go to Taixue now. There are famous people from all over the world in this Taixue. If you don't understand something, you must humbly ask the doctors for advice. However, you must remember to learn something in the future. thing."

"what's up?"

"Be patient. What happened today was all because of your outspokenness, so I won't punish you; but next time, if you speak out again, don't blame your mother for being cruel."

Young Master Hui saw his mother's serious face and was afraid of being beaten, so he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Haoer, please remember your mother's teachings."

……

……

……

Three days later.

Taixue——

Among the problems that the Great Qin Empire urgently needed to solve, the problem of different thinking was particularly prominent, and this task was finally assigned to Zhang Cang by the emperor.

Those who work hard on this important matter are destined to have lasting achievements.

All of a sudden, countless apprentices who had been Xunqing's disciples went to Taixue one after another, in order to get the blessing of Zhang Cang, the Taixue sacrificial wine.

Countless celebrities have poured into this large-scale Taixue with thousands of classrooms.

The doctors all have gray hair, and their beards grow like a goat's beard, hanging down softly. Their temperament, which is full of poetry and books, is naturally different from others, and they have an air of immortality.

These celebrities gathered in the hall and discussed in groups.The noise is more annoying than the magpies and crows combined.

The room was noisy, but outsiders saw it as lively.

Most of these 72 doctors are Confucian scholars, and the others are also talents who are proficient in one academic field. They used to only wait for imperial edicts. Some of them have not been summoned by the former emperor for more than ten years.

Now that it's time to use them, they are naturally overjoyed.

Wait for the bell to ring.

"The sacrificial wine has arrived, and all the doctors have joined the procession."

All the doctors closed their mouths one by one, and then respectfully lined up in six rows, bowing and saluting.

Doctor 72, this can all be stuffed into one large room, which shows that the area of ​​this large room is huge.

On the shiny floor, the dazzling light of candlelight and copperware complement each other.

The beards of these Confucian scholars drooped down one by one, and their eyes shone softly.

But the two brothers Gongzi Yao and Gongzi Huo hid behind the pillars, counting the bald white heads.

The two brothers whispered in each other's ears.

Hui felt strange:
"I don't think there are 72 doctors, but 54 people. How can we say there are 72 doctors?"

Yao said to him:
"Doctor 72 is a general term. It just means that there are many doctors. It is not a specific number. Just like the Jiuqing in the court, they are just called Jiuqing, but there are more than [-] people in the court who are Shangqing. . Some people are too old to go to court, and some have important positions, but they work outside Xianyang City. Therefore, there are sometimes more than ten ministers who come to attend the court meeting, and sometimes not even nine. But they are collectively called Jiuqing."

After hearing this, Huo kept nodding his little head.

After the ceremony was over, Zhang Cang sat on the throne and said to the doctors:

"Most of you have served the late emperor. In the past, you were just waiting for the imperial edict. Now you are all appointed to the Imperial Academy as professors. Your purpose is to teach students for His Majesty the Emperor and to train officials for our Qin State."

"Your Majesty's edict has been produced and posted in the city for three days. I believe everyone knows about it. Your Majesty has decided to establish this Confucianism as the method of governing the country of Qin. This is a blessing for Confucianism."

Zhou Qingchen took the lead and said:

"I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor."

The other scholars also bowed and thanked him one after another, including Fu Sheng.

But Fan Zeng looked around half a circle, but he couldn't see Chunyu Yue.

His Majesty's concerns are indeed justified.

As His Majesty's master, he did not come to such an important occasion today.

Think about what happened before, including hunger strikes and resignations.

Fan Zeng naturally felt his scalp tingling, this old gentleman was not easy to deal with.

Zhang Cang stroked his short beard, squinted his eyes, and looked solemn.

"It is His Majesty's expectation for us Confucian scholars to help the common people and bring peace to the country. The reason why the country schools are dismissed is naturally for the unification of culture and education."

"But the doctors in the court today are not only Confucianists, but also famous scholars, political strategists, Taoists, and Yin-Yang schools. The ten religions and nine streams are all prepared in the court."

"But Your Majesty believes that these ten schools must continue to exist. Therefore, they are all merged into Confucianism. Therefore, in the future, this Confucianism will be incorporated into the art of various schools. Under Confucianism, there are the art of war, debate, observation, arithmetic and other studies. "

"Since Confucianism is the guideline for governing the country, the law cannot be abolished. Therefore, all crimes are punished according to the law, but it is also determined by Confucianism, right?"

All the ministers said to each other:

"good."

……

……

……

Fan Zeng walked out with a dark face. He had to ask clearly what Chunyu Yue was thinking at this time today.

As a master of His Majesty the Emperor and a doctor serving as an official in the court, he was actually absent on this most important day.

But as soon as Fan Zeng came out, the two young masters also slipped out.

In the eyes of the two young masters, Fan Zeng is a fun-loving person.They can meet each other and look at each other.

Not only the emperor liked him, but also several ladies in the palace liked him because he could help these women predict whether the fetus in their belly would be a boy or a girl.

(This situation is a bit confusing, but normal at this time.)
"Fan Zeng—stop."

Young Master Yao suddenly jumped out from behind Fan Zeng, then stood with his hands on his hips, shouted, and stopped him.

As soon as Fan Zeng heard this voice, he knew that he would not be able to hide from this living ancestor today.

Fan Zeng turned around and looked at the eldest son with a flattering expression.

"Eldest Young Master, what are your orders?"

"You are not on duty at Shangshutai, what are you doing here?"

"Report to the eldest son, I will work in Taixue in the future."

Young Master Yao didn't like the place of Taixue, it was ridiculously big, and the big rooms and small rooms were all the same, and all of them were bamboo slips, silk books, and paper books.

Yao sighed helplessly.

I think Fan Zeng will be very unhappy here in the future.

Since he moved into the palace, all his relatives, friends and acquaintances have moved away.

His big horse 'Chiwu' went to the border area, but so far he has not even heard from him.

"Then why did you leave?"

Yao thought that Fan Zeng didn't like his new position either.

"I have something else to do. I have to go see someone."

When Yao heard this, he was immediately disappointed.

"Go back."

Fan Zeng bowed cautiously and resigned.

"only."

Young Master Yao sat dejectedly on the edge of the railing.

Hui asked:

"Brother, why are you sighing?"

"You and I have grown up together since childhood, and I won't hide anything from you today. My mother asked your father for an imperial edict, and officially crowned me the crown prince at the Spring Festival Ceremony."

After hearing this, Hui just said:
"Congratulations to the prince."

When Young Master Yao heard this, he just remained silent and said no more.

"I want to be alone for a while."

After hearing this, Zun was slightly taken aback, but still bowed respectfully and then left.

Yao actually wants to say that I don't want to bear this burden at such a young age. The ceremony of canonizing the crown prince can be done later, until the day when he is crowned.

Why, her mother and uncles were so anxious about this matter, he just felt like there was a big mountain on his shoulders.

Yao fell down on the edge of the corridor, and then closed his eyes to rest.

When the second generation was still the prince, Yao was told that he would live for the world all his life.

world-

Ha ha--

The young master left Yao, but sneaked back to the Imperial Academy.

Fan Zeng left Yao and didn't take a few steps before he met Chun Yuyue, who was coming menacingly.

"Chun Yu Pu She, I am about to go find Pu She."

Chunyu Yue looked solemn,
"Excuse me, Assistant Teacher. I'm late today."

Fan Zeng remained calm.

"It's good that the servant is here. Please come in, the court discussion has already begun."

When the two of them entered, Chun Yuyue's belated arrival caused a commotion in the large room.

Chunyu Yue sat in the front row in full view of everyone.

When Zhou Qingchen saw this scene, his eyelids rolled slightly.

This old man, looking at his menacing appearance, is probably here to cause trouble today.

Relying on being the master of His Majesty today, His Majesty the Emperor treated him with courtesy, so he took himself too seriously.

His Majesty the Emperor dares to be late for any court meeting appointed by him.

Zhang Cang sat at the top, but he was the youngest.This young man is always unreliable in doing things.

For Chun Yuyue, His Majesty is most prone to this kind of mistake.

How can we not follow the etiquette and take the lead in mourning, but be busy enthroning the throne? How can we not practice benevolence and righteousness, but massacre? How can we replace the core of Confucianism with Legalism!
Chunyu Yue couldn't bear the last thing.

But he didn't come here today to cause trouble for others.

"Sacrifice wine—I'm late, so don't be surprised."

"Don't dare."

Zhang Cang bowed politely.

"Pu She, please take a seat."

After sitting down, Chunyu Yue spoke leisurely.

"I don't know why Jijiu summoned us today?"

"Integrate the skills of hundreds of schools of thought into Confucianism. Back then, Prime Minister Lu took power and ordered his disciples to compile the Spring and Autumn Annals. Now, I have also been ordered by Your Majesty to compile a new set of books to cultivate talents for Taixue. This book is naturally a collection of the essence of hundreds of schools, breaking into Confucianism."

Chunyu Yue knew that this was just a lie.

The emperor just wanted to wrap up Legalism with Confucianism to protect the scrap metal of Legalism.

Since Chunyu Yue came today, he wanted to stand up for Confucianism.

"Both the late Emperor and His Majesty liked Han Fei's learning and wanted to incorporate it into Confucianism. Therefore, I have a question, and I hope that I can answer it by offering wine."

As soon as this statement came out, the Legalists in the hall were already unhappy.

The reason why they have remained silent until now is because until now, His Majesty the Emperor has not taken any substantive action against Legalism.

But Chunyu Yue, everyone knew what he was thinking. He wanted to assist the emperor in restoring Zhou rituals.

But how is this possible.

As soon as he spoke, the ministers felt that he was criticizing the legalism.

"Han Feizi once said in the article "Five Beetles": The people of Lu followed the emperor and fought three times in the north. Zhongni asked why, and he said: 'I have an old father who died, so I can't support him.' Zhongni thought that he was filial. , raised them up... He ordered Yin to kill the Chu traitors, but Zhongni rewarded them, and the people of Lu Yi surrendered to the north. If the benefits of the upper and lower are different, and the leader also promotes the actions of an ordinary man, and seeks the blessing of the country. , must be few."

"Han Feizi thought that if loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled at the same time, then one should sacrifice filial piety and be loyal to the emperor. Do you think this is okay? If a husband cannot be filial and righteous, how can he be loyal to the emperor?"

"If someone in the world breaks the law because of his filial piety, should the Confucian etiquette and justice be used to decide the criminal's life or death, or should the law directly determine the death penalty for this person?"

This question naturally stopped Zhang Cang.

It's not that he doesn't know how to answer, but that he can't answer for His Majesty the Emperor.

"What do you think of Pu She?"

Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and began to ask calmly:
"The Qin Dynasty has committed the crime of sitting together. If my father kills someone and his son hides him, should he sit together? If he wants to confess his father, how can the son bear the heart?"

When Gong Zihui heard this question, he immediately took his place.

"It's really a dilemma."

The young Gong Zizhen expressed his emotion directly in the big room.

This emotion, like Chun Yuyue's question, was quickly brought into the palace by fast horses and light carriages.

Fusu looked at this memorial and naturally frowned.

"Call Tingwei to come."

(This process of determining Confucianism is actually a bit complicated, because it directly involves the laws of the Qin State at that time. The formulation and implementation of laws have a great impact on everyone in the world, and have a great relationship with social stability, so I can’t jump to it. Got through it.

Moreover, the establishment of a prosperous age must be based on a stable society.The law is the institutional basis to ensure this stability. )
(The next chapter will introduce how the Spring and Autumn Judgment came about. Confucianism is really a good medicine to help Qin win the hearts of the world.)
　It's very strange that such a stunning beauty like Xue Ji is actually liked by so few people.
