Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 551: The bird is gone and the bow is hidden (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Shen Yu left the hall. It was already bright outside, and the outside of the hall was suddenly filled with golden light.

His request for survival has been flatly rejected by the emperor.

If the emperor wanted to spare his life, he would agree to his request today and allow him to live in seclusion elsewhere and not be involved in worldly affairs from now on.As a man, instead of being able to save his family, he puts his family in a very dangerous situation with him. This is such a stupid and selfish act.

Shen Yu, wearing ordinary clothes, came out of the emperor's palace early in the morning and met a group of palace courtiers who were preparing to go to serve the emperor.When these attendants saw Shen Yu, without exception, they all bowed to the red man next to him with utmost humility and respect.

Shen Yu nodded slightly, and then left Wangyi Palace with a meteoric stride.

Shen Yu looked at the scene just now indifferently, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but on the way down, Shen Yu's mind was filled with the scenery he had experienced in Xianyang City in the past year.

The sun was rising at that time, and the hot summer sunshine shone on his broad back, but what he felt was a bone-chilling cold.

Shen Yu drove back to his mansion, feeling very anxious.

Before returning to the mansion, Shen Yu stood still at the door. He looked at the two boys standing in front of his house and the stone steps in front of the door.

Memories flood in...

Twelve years ago, he was a single man without a wife. His house was an earthen house with mud and grass, and he had only one dog to accompany him.

Eleven years ago, Lord Dongyang was officially canonized and moved to the palace. Not only did he have a wife, but his home was also transformed into a large wooden-framed courtyard with ten rooms.

Later, because he had a good relationship with Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, Zhao Gao helped him occupy the land of other people around him, making his house bigger.

Later, when the second emperor ascended the throne, he became the head of the chancellery.Although he himself didn't feel that he had become prominent, the nobles in the court had already sent gifts to his mansion.They all had the same purpose, hoping that Shen Yu would speak kindly to them in front of the emperor.

Shen Yu put his hands behind his hands and looked at the red lantern hanging high, with two words written on it - Shen Mansion.

When Shen Yu saw this scene, he felt cold in his heart. He felt that all the glory and wealth were fleeting, and it wouldn't take long for him to become a dead soul under the sword.

Shen Yu couldn't help but shudder. Only then did he feel that the prince once said how he felt after becoming the prince - trembling and walking on thin ice.

Standing at a high place, this is what it feels like.

Shen Yu didn't have deep feelings about these things in the past, and the struggles in the imperial court were nothing but shortcomings for him.Everything has nothing to do with him as the prince's close servant, but now, he clearly feels the feeling of being with a king like a tiger!
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and suddenly saw his fate from his old friend.

Why did the crown prince be sure that Zhao Gao would be detrimental to the late emperor and His Majesty?

Now, Shin Yu found the answer himself.

Because Zhao Gao did too many dirty and shameful things for the late emperor.

Zhao Gao was very wise. If he didn't take action first, the emperor would do it to him.

Shen Yu now only regrets that he understood too late. He became a loyal minister beside the emperor. While enjoying the glory, he also had to bear risks.

He had enjoyed the glory, but now he had to pay the price.

Unless he is willing to continue doing the dirty work for the emperor, but if he continues, he will never regain the glory of his ancestors and be able to stand upright in the court and display his talents.

Shen Yu's feet have already entered the house, and the servants have come out to clean the corridor.

Mrs. Shen was sitting in the room dressing up. The person in the bronze mirror had glowing cheeks and was dressed in jewels. When she heard that her husband was back, Mrs. Shen naturally welcomed him happily and sat down, taking off his shoes and undressing him. But when she saw her The husband's face is waxy.

"Husband, what happened today?"

Seeing that Shen Yu was silent and looked tired, Shen hurriedly served him tea.

"By the way, my husband stayed in the palace last night? He made me wait until midnight. Why didn't anyone come back to report to me?"

Mrs. Shen is very young, with two shallow dimples showing at the corners of her mouth when she speaks.

"But what happened in the palace?"

The livid and angry face of the second generation always appeared in Shen Yu's mind, and he knew that his death had come.

If only his family could be spared...

As for the woman in front of him, after her death, she would definitely not be able to bear the loneliness and would definitely take his two sons and remarry.

But, that’s fine——

Shen Yu thought this and finally spoke.

"go out!"

Mrs. Shen's face was frightened and she asked timidly:
"Why is my husband so cruel to me?"

"I want to be alone for a while."

Mrs. Shen had no choice but to retreat, closing the door behind her when she left.

Shen Yu faced the empty room, stroking the bronze bird and jade pen given by the Second Emperor, tears dripping on the ground. Then, he walked to the empty inner room and took out the dust-covered sword in the box.

"Instead of waiting for someone to come and take my life through forgery! Why don't I do it myself!"

The sword flashed and blood flowed...

……

……

……

Qin Xianyang Palace Dazheng Hall.

The political hall was established, and many new faces were added to the court, most of whom came from Taixue.

For a time, many kind-hearted Confucian scholars appeared in the Dazheng Palace of Qin, and Confucian scholars who praised Confucius finally reached the center of power of the empire.

Meng Yi naturally felt unhappy when he saw this scene.This young man, who is already one of the court officials at a young age, has a thick and thick beard, which adds a lot of calmness to him.

The establishment of Confucianism in the Qin State was an act of the emperor abandoning family law.But times have changed, and this can only be done.Now Meng Yi wants to see how they transform the Confucianism and Legalism that the second generation said.

A tall man with elegant appearance, he stood in the forest of doctors.This month, he has been a popular figure in the court!
Li Zuoche!
According to rumors, he was invited to Xianyang City by His Majesty the Emperor.

He claimed to be the brave Marquis Li Xin and his clan. I don't know if it was a sensationalist statement, but now he is the most trusted person around the emperor.

No one cares about the Prime Minister. On the one hand, everyone in Xianyang City knows that Feng Quji has a strange disease. On the other hand, there is a man in the court who can speak well and has a good background.

This person also claimed to be the grandson of Li Mu, a famous general and strategist of Zhao State. Li Zuoche was quite famous in the Zhao area.

The Second Emperor's appreciation for him was reflected in the awards. Even when people from Imperial College entered the court, most of them served as scholars in the Political Hall, but he was directly worshiped as a doctor by the emperor.

It can be said to make all the ministers jealous.

However, Meng Yi felt that this was not a big deal. After all, he was worshiped as a doctor without any merit, and he was not young at all, he was already over thirty.

"His Majesty ordered the establishment of primary schools in the world and the establishment of official schools in Xianyang City. Everyone in the world must learn Confucianism, clarify the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, strictly teach ethics, and restore Chinese ethics. I privately believe that Your Majesty wants to appease the world with culture and education, and just do These are still not enough.”

"When the Zhou Dynasty was first established, it decreed that the world should be unified, unified the carriages, and formulated laws and regulations. This teaching of rural studies has existed since ancient times. Now your Majesty only regulates the reading books for primary schools across the country, teaching people all over the world to read and write, and to understand the laws."

"If we want to appease the world with culture and education, we must promote morality and great virtue!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately sparked a topic between the DPRK and China.

Although the Second Emperor's succession to the throne is not a waste of time, the country that the emperor wants to establish naturally has many knowledgeable people who yearn for it.

To achieve the rule of saints, you need the assistance of celebrities.

But this matter was different. He stirred up the nerves of the Legalists in the DPRK.

This incident immediately aroused opposition from some veterans in the DPRK and the DPRK. They had different ideas of governing the country, and the DPRK and the DPRK had always been noisy.

"Morality? Great Virtue? The common people only know the grains, and if you can make them read and write, it is already a great virtue imposed by Your Majesty. Everyone in the world respects Your Majesty. But to promote great virtues and doctrines is tantamount to teaching crows to speak human language. Let the rooster hatch the eggs.”

As soon as these words came out, many people in the court who were Qin officials laughed out loud.

Fusu said.

"Xunqing, you should be careful what you say."

"Your Majesty, it's not that my words are unpleasant, it's just that the reason why these common people are common people is because they have low morals and do not abide by the teachings. The common people never abide by the ethics and teachings. Among the common people in the world, there are many uncles and sisters-in-law who commit adultery, and the trend of promiscuity is constantly prohibited. These common people are shameless and shameless. If your Majesty wants to promote morality, I am afraid that the world will laugh at you."

Meng Tian stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, I once went out to work as a minor official in the land of Bashu. The people in this country only care about small profits and just want to have enough food. Such benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust have always been the qualities of a gentleman. I think what Dr. Li said , is not advisable.”

The Second Emperor was sitting very upright in the throne room, holding a sword at his waist. Although he didn't say a word, he was already full of majesty.

The admonishment official Chunyu Yueshang said:
"Your Majesty, I think what Dr. Li said is true. If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up. Your Majesty wants to govern the world with culture and education. The important thing is to use virtue to influence the people, not just to let the people learn to read and abide by the law. Virtue Governance and rule of law have always been integrated with each other. Without virtue as a model, only severe punishments and laws to enforce, people throughout the empire will surely be fearful and exhausted, and will not want to be loyal to the emperor."

"If the people cannot surrender to Your Majesty from the bottom of their hearts, then how can we talk about using culture and education to govern the country."

After hearing this, Sikou was naturally unhappy.

"Master Chunyu's words are wrong. Our Qin State's laws have been revised many times, and we have learned from hundreds of schools and adopted the golden mean. How can the law be called severe punishment if the law is so gentle! Moreover, His Majesty made it clear that Confucianism is only for virtue. Everything must still be governed by the law. This Qin Law is the order of the Qin monarchs in the past dynasties! Whether you use Confucianism or legality to govern the country, the status of governing the country by law cannot be touched."

Chunyu Yue naturally wanted to fight.

"His Majesty has made it clear that Confucianism is the way to govern the country. If you don't impose morality on the world, then how can you talk about Confucianism governing the country?"

Li Zuoche had heard before that after Qin II succeeded to the throne, there were constant quarrels in the Qin court, and the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism never stopped.

Today he is acquainted.

"Okay, I understand what you all mean."
