Chapter 3 Debate among the heroes, shocking the court!
"After a thousand years, the Qin Dynasty has long been destroyed!"

As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly fell into a dead silence!
Zhao Gao's expression completely froze, and Li Si and other ministers looked at each other in shock and relief!
Cui Yuan saw the situation and felt a little relaxed.

What he is most worried about is that the ministers really believe that the Great Qin can be passed on to all generations. If they continue to spoil the future, there will be great risks. Now it seems that they are still sensible.

But it makes sense when you think about it. The combined total of East and West is only 800 years, and most of the time they were in a state of melee.

Although the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, it was also troubled by the problem of having no successors. How could it really be passed down for thousands of years?

The ministers knew this very well, but they all thought it would happen a long time ago, so they didn't bother to pay attention to it.

He just punctured the window paper.

"Cui Yuan!"

In front of Quyuanli, Yingzheng had a gloomy face, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to swallow the young man whole!
"You should know the consequences after saying these words!"

"If you don't give a reasonable explanation, you won't be able to leave alive today!"

"Of course I know!"

Cui Yuan smiled and nodded: "The next national policy that the grassroots will talk about is related to this."

"Although it cannot defy the heavens and allow the Qin Dynasty to survive for ten thousand years, it can extend the country's rule for another hundred years and completely pacify the Eight Desolations!"

As soon as the words fell, despite the tense atmosphere, there were still many chuckles in the court.

Laugh at Cui Yuan for being too arrogant!
To extend the country of Qin for a hundred years?Completely pacify the Eight Desolations?
Even if Shang Yang, the original reform god, was not so arrogant, why would the 16-year-old boy in front of him dare?
Especially Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still worried that he would become his political enemy, but now it seems that he is simply overly worried!
"His Majesty."

Cui Yuan ignored the laughter and continued his story: "Before talking about this strategy, can the common people ask you a question first?"

Ying Zheng frowned: "Ask me!"

He wanted to know if this young man was really capable or if he was just playing tricks.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cui Yuan saluted and then said: "Everyone!"

"Now in the 34th year of the First Emperor's reign, nearly ten years have passed since the unification of the world!"

"In the past ten years, cars on the same track, books on the same text, and travels on the same path have been continuously implemented in various places. The laws of Qin have become more and more perfect, and all people in the world are registered as Qin people."

"But why are the remaining parties in the six countries still being destroyed and burned? Why are rebellions in South Vietnam and Xiang County still rising everywhere, and they even have the potential to become bigger!"

"Everyone, do you know why this is?"

Ying Zheng's expression became more solemn, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, and Li Si and others also stopped smiling and thought about this issue seriously.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move!
The overall view that Cui Yuan revealed through this question was enough to make most of the people in the court unable to catch up!

"It's because of the county system."

In the silence, Fusu, the eldest son of the emperor, was the first to stand up and answer.

He looked at Cui Yuan with eyes full of admiration: "In the beginning, the Zhou Dynasty implemented enfeoffment, displayed benevolence and righteousness, and enjoyed a stable state for more than [-] years."

"The Qin Dynasty has only been unified for ten years, but it is already in trouble because of the implementation of the system of prefectures and counties!"

"Ultimately, this is a problem with the system."

"So Mr. Fusu thinks so."

Cui Yuan nodded and retorted to Fusu: "Your analysis is indeed reasonable, but can the Zhou Dynasty really be considered stable for 800 years?"

"The first King Wu of Zhou was barely qualified, but after the destruction of Shang and the enfeoffment of feudal states, the majesty of every emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was declining!"

"Otherwise, there would be no Duke Heng of Qi to seek hegemony through the Youdi Alliance, let alone King Zhuang of Chu, who was parading his troops in Luoyang and asking about the importance of the Nine Cauldrons!"

"Not to mention that after King Ping moved eastward, the emperor's power fell aside and he no longer acted as co-owner, and his status was no different from that of the princes."

"In the face of the annexation and attacks by the princes and the rivers of bloodshed, they have completely lost their ability to stop them and can only be reduced to a mascot-like existence!"

"Is this kind of Guo Zuo better than the current situation in Da Qin in the eyes of Mr. Fusu?"

"Furthermore, the so-called enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty was actually to let the princes reclaim wasteland. Is there any reason to seize one's own territory and enfeoff it?"

"It would be too absurd to conclude that the county system is inferior to the feudal system!"

"This……"

Fusu was at a loss for words. He didn't expect that Cui Yuan, as "one of his own", would be so sharp. He didn't know how to respond for a while.

"That means we haven't killed enough thieves!"

Zhao Gao picked up the defeated Fusu and said gloomily: "The reason why these thieves dare to rebel is because too few people died!"

"As long as we kill them until their livers and gallbladders rupture, there will naturally be no more rebellious people in the world!"

"Haha! Zhao Fu Ling's words really make people laugh!"

Cui Yuan looked sarcastic: "If the problem can be solved by killing enough people, then why was Zhao still not convinced after Wu'an Jun Bai Qi killed 40 surrendered soldiers in the Battle of Changping?"

"It even created a Dai country, which was not completely wiped out until more than ten years ago!"

"According to your opinion, did Lord Wu An want to kill all the people of Zhao State and let His Majesty rule the wild beasts in the mountains and forests?" Zhao Gao was so angry that his whole body was trembling!
"That's because Qin's laws are too loose..."

Li Si was the third to stand up, but just halfway through his words, he was severely rebutted by Cui Yuan!

"Still relaxed? Prime Minister Li, have you ever thought about why the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have long since lost power, but they can still mobilize the people to rebel?"

"It's not because the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger. Too many people are oppressed by Qin's laws and it is really difficult to find a way to survive!"

"As if the world is at peace, if the laws of Qin are not relaxed, how can the people recuperate and live?"

Cui Yuan showed no mercy, causing the surrounding officials to take a deep breath!
Who would have thought before today that Zhao Gao, Li Si and Mr. Fusu would be silenced by a young man!

Feng Quji, Dunruo and other courtiers were eager to give it a try and wanted to stand up for advice, but Ying Zheng waved their hands to stop them.

"That's it!"

"It's embarrassing enough now, there's no point in continuing."

Fusu, Zhao Gao, and Li Si were deeply ashamed when they heard this.

Ying Zheng ignored it, and Xiao looked at Cui Yuan with interest: "Tell me! Since you asked this question, there must be a way to solve it!"

"What is your national policy that can lead the Qin Dynasty to rule the country for a hundred years and pacify the eight wastelands!"

After the words fell, everyone looked at the young man, wanting to know where he had the confidence to refute everyone.

"It's easy!"

Cui Yuan faced the confused gazes of everyone, put his hands behind his hands and said with a smile: "Just sixteen words! Depose hundreds of schools of thought and respect only Confucianism! Deify the imperial power and make it supreme!"

"Internally, absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, improve Confucianism, use the name of Confucianism to implement the principles of legalism in governing the country, deify the imperial power, and promote prefectures and counties!"

"While realizing the unification of the world, we will also realize the unification of the spirit!"

"Release us alchemists to the outside world and let us use our influence among the people to guide the world's public opinion!"

"Promote the orthodox status of Great Qin and suppress the nobles of the six countries!"

"As long as your majesty uses the common people's plan and attacks from both inside and outside within ten years, the situation of fires everywhere in the Qin Dynasty will completely become history, and the country will be consolidated forever!"

In the court, Cui Yuan was calm and unhurried, his voice was like a heavenly bell.

Every word of the young man resounded in everyone's mind, and when the last word fell, it set off a stormy sea, frightening everyone dumbfounded!
"Yes, yes! Your plan is indeed very thoughtful!

"I will do as you say!"

Ying Zheng was the first to turn his doubts into a smile and ordered with great approval!

He is worthy of being a god from 2000 years ago, and his plan is really extraordinary!
As the first unified dynasty in history, no one in this era knows how the future will go.

Even Zulong is often confused because of this, not knowing what is the right choice.

But now, Cui Yuan's words are like the light that breaks through the clouds and dispels all the confusion!
Not to mention, he also brought Quyuanli!

Why hadn’t I thought of using Confucianism as the sword of spiritual unification before?
Ying Zheng smiled very happily and ordered the release of all the alchemists on the spot, exempting them from the death penalty, ending this debate that lasted for half a year!

bastard!

Zhao Gao was so angry that his teeth were broken, but he had to accept the fact that he failed to trick Confucianism and Cui Yuan was recognized by His Majesty.

Li Si, Feng Quji and others also felt that today was an eye-opener. Back then, there was a 12-year-old Gan Luo as prime minister, and now there is a 16-year-old boy guiding Da Qin!
God bless Daqin!
However, not everyone accepted their fate. For example, Mr. Fusu turned red with anger!

"That's nonsense. Cui Yuan, you monster, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"How noble Confucianism is and how great Confucius is, how dare you let it become a tool for the Qin Dynasty to fool the people!"

How much he had looked forward to Cui Yuan just now, and how disappointed he was now!
I thought he could help me, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a scum with no limits!

"That's right! Don't be too arrogant, you monster!"

"Your Majesty, we cannot believe his lies!"

"Kill him! Cut him into pieces!"

The Confucian disciples in the Doctor's Palace also stood up one after another at this moment, like a dog whose tail was stepped on, and cursed Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan was not afraid, his smile remained the same.

Brother Zheng didn't scare him, so who could these people be?

He smiled and asked, "Don't get excited. I would like to ask Mr. Fusu and everyone, how long have you been arguing with His Majesty to save us alchemists?"

Fusu gritted his teeth: "This... is nearly half a year."

"So! Look!"

Cui Yuan looked mocking.

"What you failed to do in half a year, I can do it in just a few words!"

"Since ancient times, gentlemen have no regard for their conduct!"

"You people who have already failed once have no right to think that I am wrong!"
