Chapter 52

Another year passed peacefully. The lives of Jin Ke and Ying Zheng have not changed, except that wherever Jin Ke goes, he is generally followed by a silent Zhou Qi.

At the beginning, Jin Ke also thought about not letting Zhou Qi follow him. After all, no one wants to go anywhere, and there is a person behind them, and the feeling of being watched is really uncomfortable.

But Zhou Qi is a dead brain, and he feels that since he has been given to the queen by the emperor, he is the queen's person. He must not live up to the emperor's love, and must always follow the queen to protect the queen's safety.

Jin Ke listened to Zhou Qi's words, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi, although your ability is not small. But can you compare to the martial arts of the dark guard raised in the palace? How many guards did you make me follow?

Well, Jin Ke can't say this to Zhou Qi clearly. Otherwise, the Dark Guard would not be a guard in the shadows.

Anyway, Zhou Qiai will follow. Anyway, Zhou Qi doesn't talk much, and if he has to follow, Jin Ke won't have a big impact. And it is also beneficial for Zhou Qi to follow Jin Ke, after following his master for a long time, he will definitely be more loyal.

The reason why Yingzheng didn't stop Zhou Qi from entering the palace frequently was precisely this idea. The reason why Ying Zheng had to find such a person for Jin Ke was really for Jin Ke's consideration. According to Jin Ke, Yingzheng must not be immortal. And looking at Jin Ke's appearance, Ying Zheng always felt that he couldn't live long. Then you have to arrange a back road for Jin Ke.

Originally, Ying Zheng thought that if Fusu became the emperor in the future, according to the relationship between Fusu and Jin Ke, at least Jin Ke could spend this life safely in Xianyang Palace. But Jin Ke also said that it was Hu Hai who finally ascended the throne, or Hu Hai who killed Fusu. In this way, Ying Zheng didn't dare to guarantee that Hu Hai would remember his master-apprentice relationship with Jin Ke and treat Jin Ke well. After all, Hu Hai can even kill his brother Fusu, who is so close.

I have to say that Ying Zheng pampered Jin Ke at the tip of his heart. Ying Zheng even thought about Jin Ke's future after his death

For the first time, Daqin changed the "sub-feudal system" and implemented the "county system". In a way, this is definitely a big step forward. But every kind of reform and progress will always cause dissatisfaction among some people. Because in the process of reform, it is impossible to safeguard the interests of all.

Chun Yuyue is a strange person. This doctor of Qi was very opposed to the "county system" implemented by Daqin, and demanded that the children be divided according to the ancient system.

Who is Yingzheng? After Ying Zheng became emperor, the most important move was to unify the ideology, culture, politics, economy and other aspects. The practice of unifying the language, weights and measures, and coins demanded by Ying Zheng is the unification of the economy. The implementation of the "county system" is to strengthen the centralized system, and to put it bluntly, it is to strengthen one's own power as an emperor. That's pretty much the way it did.

But now a man has suddenly appeared who says that he opposes the "county system" and wants to return to the "sub-feudal system". What will Ying Zheng think? This is not only a matter of politics, but also of ideological disunity.

Ying Zheng also knew that the reason why Great Qin was able to dominate the world was basically by force. And if you really want to defend this country, you can't just rely on force. But after all, the Six Nations have a long history, so how can the influence left behind be eliminated all at once?

Therefore, the emergence of Chun Yuyue gave Yingzheng a big problem: should it be a matter of formal thinking, or should it be blindly suppressed?

There are very few people in the court of Great Qin who can speak. And most of these people who can speak are representatives of Legalist thought, such as Li Si, Zhao Gao and others.

So when Ying Zheng asked the courtiers for their opinions in the court, Li Si, as the prime minister, first stepped forward and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers think that if the fool enters, the heart is wrong, and when he goes out, he will discuss in the alley, and the non-master will be famous, and the different trend will be high, and the group will slander." In order to correct the style of our Great Qin, I should really destroy the biographies of the nations of my Great Qin except for the "Records of Qin", and support the idea of a legislator and prohibit private learning! ”

Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers expressionlessly, and then asked, "What do you think of the prime minister's suggestion?" ”

Zhao Gao stood up and strongly supported Li Si: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that the Prime Minister is very right!" Those Confucian scholars had nothing to do all day. I will only find some small things to shake my Great Qin Guoji, which is really sinister! ”

The two most valued officials in the court said such things, and the others naturally nodded yes.

At this moment, Childe Fusu suddenly stood up.

"Father, the son thinks that the Prime Minister's idea is wrong!" Fusu said.

There was an objection, this person was still his son, Yingzheng looked at Fusu very patiently, and said, "Fusu, tell me what you think?" ”

Fusu said: "Erchen thinks that Dr. Chun Yuyue only proposed a kind of construction, and did not shake the meaning of the Great Qin National Foundation. If you want to destroy the classics on this ground, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of students all over the world! ”

"Fusu Gongzi's words are a bit strict!" Li Si retorted, "The students in this world are all my Great Qin people now, so naturally they should study my Great Qin's ideological books. People like this who believe in other ideas and studies are really not worthy of the name of my Great Qin student! ”

"This" Fusu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yingzheng.

"That's it! Don't make any noise! Ying Zheng said, "Rong Zhen is thinking about this matter, and I will discuss it later!" ”

"No!"

"Looking at a wrinkled face, it's all bitter melon!" Jin Ke looked at Ying Zheng, who was looking at him with a sad face, and quipped.

"You've always been sarcastic!" Ying Zheng was amused by Jin Ke's words, "What is this bitter gourd?" Is it something from your time? ”

"Eh" Jin Ke was a little speechless, "It turns out that there is not even a bitter gourd at this time!" I thought you didn't like to eat, so there was no one in Xianyang Palace! ”

"I've never heard of such a thing, I guess I haven't!" Ying Zheng said, "Do you like to eat? ”

Jin Ke remembered the taste of cold bitter gourd in summer, and seemed to have reminisced about the indescribable taste, and his whole face was distorted, "Who wants to like that kind of thing?" Bitter and unhurried! ”

"So you don't like to eat?" Ying Zheng said, "I thought you wanted to eat? Then why do you say that I am like a bitter melon? "Isn't that what I mean?

"I was thinking about what's bothering you, your face is so ugly." Jin Ke said.

"It's not that Chun Yuyue's thing, I'm angry!" Ying Zheng said.

"Chun Yuyue?" Jin Ke asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"You don't know?" Ying Zheng also didn't understand, "That doctor who threatened to make me change the current system!" ”

"I still don't know! So what are you bothered about? "In Jin Ke's heart, Ying Zheng is a person who wants to kill people if he doesn't agree. How did he become so popular, that person is still alive?

Ying Zheng said: "He opposes my rule, can I not be angry?" At first, I wanted to kill this person directly as the prime minister said, and then destroy all the unorthodox texts! But Fusu's words made me feel quite reasonable. ”

"So you're in a dilemma right now?" Jin Ke asked quietly, but his heart was already boiling: I didn't expect the book-burning pit to come so inadvertently? What am I going to do now? Really watched Yingzheng make a big mistake?

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's true!" ”

Jin Ke looked at the embarrassed Ying Zheng and thought: Ying Zheng is really not a person who loves to kill. Otherwise, with Yingzheng's violent temper, he would have killed Chun Yuyue a long time ago, and the book burning pit Confucianism would not have made him in a dilemma. So what is the reason for Ying Zheng to carry out book burning and pit Confucianism?

Jin Ke grabbed Ying Zheng's hand and said, "Ying Zheng, no matter what, promise me not to kill people indiscriminately, okay?" "Even if you can't completely wash away your stain, you don't commit too much killing, okay? The reincarnation of cause and effect, even if you are a generation of emperors, you can't escape.

As if feeling Jin Ke's nervousness, Ying Zheng gently stroked Jin Ke's hand to comfort: "I won't kill people indiscriminately!" Do you know what I'm going to do in the future? You sue sù, what did I do? ”

Jin Ke was silent.

"Are you afraid that what you say will affect my decision?" Ying Zheng said, "I have already decided, according to what Li Si said, to burn all the books that are not orthodox in my Great Qin!" Now you can tell me what you have learned. ”

"First the book burning, then the killing of Confucian students!" After Jin Ke finished speaking, he closed his eyes. In the final analysis, Ying Zheng still made the same decision, and Jin Ke couldn't change anything at all.

"Pit and kill Confucian students? I don't have that in mind! Ying Zheng said, "Jin Ke, don't be afraid! ”

"I'm not afraid!" Jin Ke's face was calm, without a trace of fear at all, "First burned the book, and then caused dissatisfaction among Confucians." In the next year, you will arrest more than 460 people in Xianyang City - pit and kill. ”

"Why do you remember it so clearly?" Ying Zheng asked. According to Jin Ke's brain, it is normal that he may have some impressions of certain things, but if he remembers this incident so clearly, I am afraid it will not be a trivial matter.

Jin Ke took a deep breath and said very hard: "I think that it is because of this incident that you will be as brutal as the rumors of later generations." If you hadn't done this, future generations wouldn't have criticized you so much! Jin Ke is very worried about this matter.

Ying Zheng hugged Jin Ke into his arms, it turned out that the reason why Jin Ke remembered so clearly was because of himself and for himself.

"I promise you that I will never make the same mistake and will not kill those innocent people!" Ying Zheng almost used an oath to say these words to Jin Ke.

Jin Ke said: "As long as you don't kill people for no reason!" If someone does make a mistake, you don't have to forgive them for my sake! You are the king of a country after all! ”

"You know I won't!" Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.
