Qin Palace, the night is getting darker, the palace maid added the last lamp oil, and also yawned and prepared to sleep, but there are still two people in the center of the Great Qin Empire who have not rested, they are Qin Zheng and Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang said in a panic: "Your Majesty, that's all the minister knows. ”

Qin Zheng frowned tightly and didn't say a word, because just now, Zhang Cang gave him a new high school history lesson.

Zhang Cang is worthy of being a scholar, he just stumbled upon these history books when he was looking for technical books, and he couldn't extricate himself after turning two pages casually, and finally read through them!

"From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Ming Orthodoxy, you have so much, is it really not much?" Qin Zheng teased.

When Zhang Cang heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to the ground, and said in a sincere panic: "Your Majesty, Cang didn't do it on purpose, as long as Your Majesty opened his mouth, Cang would definitely forget them all!" ”

Qin Zheng looked at Zhang Cang, who was as "full" as a big rice ball on the ground, and sighed lightly: "Get up, I didn't say that I would cure your crimes." ”

Saying that, Qin Zheng held his hands weakly, and Zhang Cang stood up, but he was obviously still suspicious, so the whole person stiffened and didn't say a word.

Qin Zheng looked at him like this, and could only shake his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't burn books to block speech anymore, but we can't let anyone with a heart take advantage of it."

So you collect all these books for the time being, put them together, find a place, first... Save it up. ”

In fact, Qin Zheng was also very hesitant in his heart, on the one hand, these things did happen, and they are real history, which contains the trajectory of the development and operation of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and should not be forgotten.

But on the other hand, Qin Zheng's great cause needs some "bad" talents who have done wrong things in history. Let them understand this part of history, which will naturally cause irreversible damage to individuals and even the national system, and he has always felt in his heart that mediocre officials are more hateful than corrupt officials.

"The minister understands, the minister will take care of these books." Zhang Cang nodded in agreement, but the complicated taste in his heart was visible to the naked eye.

Qin Zheng nodded and comforted: "Thinking about the good thing, the Great Qin, who is constantly reforming and changing the law, will one day be unified again, and at that time, whether these books are declassified or not will be left to future generations." ”

Zhang Cang is not a nerd either, and he knows that this is a necessary measure, but when will the next reunification be? Will there really be a day when it will be decrypted?

Qin Zheng saw that Zhang Cang was more and more stunned the more he thought about it, and then coughed lightly: "Actually, I called you here today not only for this matter, but I also plan to ask you for something." ”

Zhang Cang came to his senses from the state just now, saluted and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty said?" ”

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if you remember to ask who should hold the position of Captain of the Imperial Court." ”

Zhang Cang's body trembled when he heard this, of course he remembered that as a scholar, Qin Zheng's favorite candidate at that time was Shen Buxian.

"Your Majesty opened your mouth today, is there something wrong with Duke Shen?" Zhang Cang asked tentatively.

Qin Zheng said helplessly: "Well, the letter from Wei State has come a few days ago, and it is a foregone conclusion that Qin Wei will carve up Korea." Shen Gong hated Han and didn't want to see me, let alone serve as a court lieutenant. ”

Zhang Cang still didn't understand what Qin Zheng meant, because Zhang Cang's school was born from Xunzi and Zichan, and he was definitely not a fellow traveler with Shen Buxi, and even many people felt that "heresy is more hateful than heresy".

If Zhang Cang is asked to persuade Shen not to harm Shanshi Qin, then I am afraid that he will be sent to find and scold, and it is estimated that it will only have the opposite effect at that time.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Zhang Cang continued to probe.

Qin Zheng didn't sell it either, and explained directly: "I want to prepare for a debate conference, and I will invite Shen Gong to attend when the time comes, and as long as there are people from all serious schools, please do so."

When the time comes, you will come to the stage on behalf of the Legalist legal faction to argue with them, if you can suppress Shen Gong in front of the public, and even overthrow everyone, then Shen Gong's exit from the mountain will be a drama. ”

Zhang Cang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing this, Qin Zheng wanted him to be a spear, and he had to try the shields of the hundred schools one by one, and he had to pierce Shen Bu's side!

Qin Zheng saw that Zhang Cang was silent, so he asked, "Why, don't you have confidence?" ”

Zhang Cang has always been known for being "timid, greedy, and lustful" among his senior brothers, and this kind of thing Qin Zheng asked him to sit on, which was actually no different from roasting him on the fire.

Qin Zheng patted Zhang Cang's shoulder lightly, and said meaningfully: "Although Zhang Qing has not served by my side, he has been in Daqin for many years, haven't you noticed that I am different from before?" ”

Zhang Cang's face changed, and he was speechless for a while, of course he knew that Qin Zheng's temperament had changed greatly, in fact, it was not only him, but all the civil and military officials knew it, but no one was willing to break it.

This time Qin Zheng broke this matter by himself, Zhang Cang was still a little surprised, but he was more curious about Qin Zheng's next words.

"Actually, I also said that when I was in a coma, I traveled to fairyland in my dreams, and I was able to communicate with the sages and see many wonderful things.

But when I thought about it later, these might not be dreams, nor fairyland, but the future! Just like the history books you see, these are the history books that will be written in the future! Qin Zheng explained excitedly.

Qin Zheng said this, Zhang Cang was even more curious, the history that has been written is so interesting, what is the future like with a fairyland-like world?

"And the reason why I have become so different from my previous personality can even be said to be like two people. It's because of these books and those dreams that exist.

They made me deeply aware that if I continued to follow the old path of Great Qin, one day what was written in the book would become a reality.

For example, Daqin is fundamentally rewarding ploughing wars, but the land is limited and the wars are even more limited, and they will be fought one day, so where should Daqin go? It's hard to guarantee that there will be a day of destruction! ”

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Cang wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only let Qin Zheng continue.

"Zhang Cang, I called you here today, and I want you to prepare for the main purpose of the debate, I will tell you now.

Each of the hundred schools of thought is as long as they strife, and they prosper, but they are intolerable to each other, and they attack each other, and they are no different from the nations.

And in the history books you read, the powerful rulers of later generations chose to be the only one, taking the advantages of two or three schools at the same time, and then enshrined them as the only ones.

Indeed, at that time and for a long time, I maintained the great unity created by me and unified the Xia, but the price paid was also very great.

When we are now in the Ming Dynasty, the hundred schools of thought are not there, the three religions converge, and the surface is prosperous and peaceful, but it is like a pool of stagnant water, and it can no longer make big waves, and sooner or later it will be defeated by a more active civilization! ”

Qin Zheng's words are naturally not alarmist, and the fate of modern China in history is like this.

The numb China was defeated by the Western ships and artillery, and even almost perished completely, even if the defeat turned into victory, it was still covered with bruises.

Qin Zheng naturally didn't want to see all this, even if it might just be a game, he didn't want the world to experience such pain again.

"Your Majesty, do you think that with one me, you can reverse this outcome? The minister lived a long life in the book, but it did not affect the process at all. Zhang Cang laughed at himself.

Qin Zheng shook his head and retorted: "Zhang Qing, the matter is man-made, if we can't see the future, we don't realize the problem, forget it, but now that the problem is in front of you and me, are you willing to be a deserter?"

I have built a new army, reformed the functions and powers of officials, prepared local councils, popularized education in the same language, invented new technologies, and even allowed you to debate.

After all, no matter how smart and diligent you and I are, our strength is limited.

Even with the elixir of immortality, I can't live indefinitely, and I can't guarantee that I won't make mistakes. Therefore, only when the entire Great Qin and the whole world are mobilized can the goal be truly achieved! ”

Saying that, Qin Zheng untied the jade pendant on his belt, put it in Zhang Cang's hand, and said meaningfully: "This jade pendant will be our token in the future, not only a token for the collection of books and decryptions, but also a token for reshaping the hundred schools and building the future."

Today I will hand it over to you, the smartest person in Daqin, I hope you will not live up to my expectations, argue with each family, and then pull back everyone, continue to learn for the hundred schools, and open peace for all generations! ”

Zhang Cang glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, bent down, and held it above his head: "Cang, don't regret it!" ”
