Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 568: Sir, you can be my teacher (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

[Actually, Meng Yi, Meng Tian, ​​Feng Jie, and Sima Wuyi are just ancient versions of Gu Ailing. 】

The second generation all said with emotion and admiration:

"What you said can serve as a warning to the world."

After hearing this, Wei Ji quickly shook his head and declined:

"Your Majesty is absurd. These principles are all realized by my father. My father studied the "Book of Changes" at home in his spare time, and combined with what he saw, realized and felt, and finally came to this realization."

“It is said that what is contained in the Book of Changes is actually the way to conduct oneself in the world.”

"Your Majesty, governing a country is actually about governing people. If you understand the rules of life, governing a country is not as simple as planting flowers and trees, but your Majesty can make the best use of the situation and make people's hearts obey your Majesty."

"When a saint governs the world, he respects the way of heaven. If your majesty wants to implement benevolent government, you must first respect the way of heaven, and secondly, you must comply with the people's hearts."

After hearing this, the Second Emperor's eyes lit up, and he addressed Wei Ji as sir.

"Sir, you can be my teacher."

Wei Ji naturally wanted to refuse.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. I am a gentleman. If you are worshiped as a teacher by your Majesty, all the ministers in the court will definitely not accept it."

"Sir, you are too modest. You are a person who can truly govern the country, and he is also a person who can assist me in running the country. What you just said is exactly the same as what I said in "Spring and Autumn Fanlu"."

"The son of heaven is ordered by heaven, the princes are ordered by the son of heaven, the son is ordered by his father, the minister is ordered by the king, the wife is ordered by her husband, and all those who are ordered are honored by heaven. Although it is okay to say that they are ordered by heaven. It is because the son of heaven is ordered by Heaven, so the world is ordered by the Son of Heaven.”

"Sir is the one who truly understands why I choose Confucianism to govern the country."

"After years of war, the people of the world are in need of comfort. Among hundreds of scholars, only Confucianism is the most suitable to unify people's hearts."

[It stands to reason that after the war is over, the world should practice Taoist techniques and recuperate, but Taoism and Qin Fa are simply two extremes. One cares about everything, and the other cares about nothing.If the Qin State directly used Taoist learning, it would definitely be in chaos.So using Confucianism is the best. 】

"Just like applying herbal medicine on a person who has been burned by fire, Confucianism has such an effect on the Qin State. The princes and kings frequently launch wars for their own selfish interests. The princes have lost their moral standards and the people have no life. Hundreds of years of fierce fighting have accumulated in the hearts of the people. Countless resentments.”

"The Confucian Mencius once said that the people are the most noble, the country is second, and the king is the least. Therefore, the people are the emperor, the emperor is the princes, and the princes are the officials. When the princes threaten the country, they will change their positions. After the sacrifice is completed, the rice is abundant and clean, and the ancestors are worshiped in time, but if there is a drought and the water overflows, it will be replaced by the grain of the community."

"Now, I want to fulfill the promise made by Confucianism hundreds of years ago to the common people, but no one can fulfill it."

[Confucianism is very valuable. The ancients discovered 2000 years ago that the power of the people is the greatest. 】

Wei Ji replied:

"Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. If your Majesty can understand this truth, he will surely become a saint."

"good."

"I would like to congratulate Pushe, a doctor from the Imperial Academy, as Doctor Zijin Guanglu."

"This move shows that His Majesty respects Confucianism, which can comfort the hearts of the world."

"I want them to join the court to discuss politics."

According to the information obtained by II, some forces are preparing for restoration.So Fusu decided to stimulate them some more and then teach them some lessons.

"But if they formally enter the DPRK to discuss politics, they will first encounter opposition from one person."

The first thing Wei Ji thought of was Sikou Mengyi.

"But no matter what, I want to give it a try."

These words naturally imply that Wei Ji will speak for Confucian scholars in the future.

It's hard for Wei Ji to talk about Confucian scholars.Entering the court is not a child's play. To manage the affairs of the court, the emperor and his ministers must sit down and discuss important matters together.You also need to undergo etiquette training beforehand, and you can't talk nonsense in the court. It's a violation.In a word, there are many aspects to consider.

The most terrible thing is that the court is just a battlefield without beacons. It is not only the center of power in the world, but also the place where power is fought for.Confucianism's discussion of politics before the court may cause an uproar in Xianyang City.

A nation that values ​​strength and maintains simple folk customs suddenly wants to accept the baptism of Confucianism. Will everyone in Xianyang City really accept it?
"From the prime minister's illness to his death, there was no prime minister in the court. Although the Taixue Ling was in charge of the political affairs hall, there were many mistakes. The court and the central government were even more torn apart."

Of course, even before Prime Minister Feng Quji was around, the courtiers were still divided.

"I thought I would take this opportunity to listen to some words of sages."

Kai Ji could only bite the bullet and say:
"Your Majesty's order."

The second generation looked at Wei Ji and thought to himself: This person just understood the key points in my "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" in his speech. Either he wants to gain my trust, or he really agrees with my approach and wants to use Confucianism to complete his thoughts. Great unification.

I'd better give him a try first.

"The common people in this world have long been grudged against the nobles, especially the common people of the Six Kingdoms. Therefore, I want you to specially select some common people with Confucian origins from Taixue to be included in the household department of the political affairs hall. .”

"I want to see if they can do some practical things in the political affairs hall. Confucian people like to talk about scriptures and do not pay attention to reality. I want them to work in the household department, and I also hope that my husband can help them. Especially for some people with high backgrounds. Poor scholars may not be as good as the children of aristocratic families, but when they stand in the court, they can eliminate the resentment in the hearts of the common people in the world."

"Although I have conferred several Confucian doctors before, this time is different from before. What I want to see is whether Confucian people can change with the times in the Qin State. A sect that cannot adapt to the changes in the world is destined to change from Die within.”

Mr. Wang originally had a lot of real power in his hands. After the functional departments were divided, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry accounted for half of the political hall.But now, the husband only has one household department in his hands.

If a Confucian person wants to come to power, he must take power.Power, unlike gold and silver, is not an objectively existing object.Only by establishing a reputation and being legally legal in name can we master it.

Just relying on a few sentences without actual political achievements will not convince the people of Xianyang City.

These people are the world's elites. If the Confucian people can convince them, then the warriors from the military family will come back in a hurry.

The Second King just wanted to take this opportunity to tell the members of the military family that without them, Qin would still be here!

How could Kai Ji think of so much, he was ordered to enter the court with such a little vanity of wanting to make contributions.I wanted to rely on what I had learned to do a good job, but the Second Emperor asked him to take on such a burden.

To stand with Confucianism is to stand against many people.

Wei Ji felt stressed when he thought of this.

"I accept the order."

On a scorching summer day, Kai Ji slightly stretched out his sleeves, but wiped his head with sweat.
