"What do you think Shang Jun changed the law for?"

In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, across the rows of fire candles on His Majesty, Qin Shi Huang threw this question to Fusu.

Every prince and grandson, before and after adulthood, will have a teacher and Fu to teach knowledge, and the most important of them is "history", Taishi Ling Hu Wujing once told them about the past of the Qin State, that period of history, Fusu is naturally clear.

"Father, in the past, I was strong, restless, Jian Gong, and out of the son, the country was full of internal and external troubles, and the three Jin Dynasty attacked my ancestor Hexi, and the princes were humble and ugly. After Xiaogong succeeded to the throne, he wanted to go east, restore the hometown of Mu Gong, and repair Mu Gong's decree, so he issued an order to recruit talents, so that Shang Jun changed the law, naturally for the purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army...... Filial piety and public use of the law of martingale, change customs, the people to be rich, the country to be rich and strong, so the people are happy to use, the princes are attached. ”

Qin Shi Huang bowed his head: "Well, rich country and strong soldiers, you only said two points correctly, but there is still one point missing." ”

"That is the centralization of power, the power of the whole country, in the hands of the king!"

Qin Shi Huang said: "The power system is dictated by the monarch and the authority, and the princes, concubines, and princes will be killed. Not to mention the changes of Qin, Wei and Chu, they are also to attack the princes, weaken the feudal monarchs, and if they do not get rid of them, it is the way of the weak soldiers of the poor country. Therefore, Shang Jun changed the law, and what he did was to bring the noble son of Qin to justice, and make the clan not have military merits, and could not be a subordinate member, only when the power was monopolized by the king, Qin could concentrate on farming and fighting, and go east! ”

Fusu nodded, and at the same time suddenly found that today's Qin Shi Huang was extremely patient and would actually say this to him.

The question came again: "What do you think the purpose of the first monarch Huiwen King killing Shang Yang and keeping him in the law?" ”

Fusu responded: "I heard that when King Huiwen was the crown prince, there was a gap with Shang Ying, after succeeding to the throne, the clan complained about Shang Ying, Shang Ying fled, and then returned to the fief to rebel, and if it didn't work, he was split by the car to favor the Qin State, everyone said, he was killed by himself......

"It's as simple as that?"

Qin Shi Huang sneered: "When the filial piety changed the law, he said that the guests and ministers have those who can make strange plans to strengthen Qin, and I will respect the officials and share the land with them." He kept his promise and gave fifteen towns of Shangdi to Shang Ying, and at this time, Qin's Guanzhong land was gathered into a county, but there were only thirty-one counties...... It's like I gave the entire Chu State to a certain minister, do you think the monarch and the minister can be at peace? ”

"Shang Ying is the Qin set monarchy, the Zhu Gong clan, the rope clan, after the change of the law, he became the largest feudal monarch, enough to fight against the Qin monarch, independent as a prince, at that time he only had two choices, one is to abandon the fiefdom, retire to the old, and second, is to die! Even if he didn't offend the clan, it was still a good thing! ”

Shang Ying, the man who presided over the reform of the law, actually died from the way of centralization of power that he carefully created for the Qin State.

He was the first Legalist to die, and he was also the first "Qin official" to die, but he was by no means the last.

Centralization of power, this is the tireless road of the Qin kings in the past dynasties, starting from Qin Xiaogong to the peak of King Qin Zhao, but the next two generations were completely destroyed by Lü Buwei.

The "middle father" from the defense of the country was keen to divide the monarch's power, in a vain attempt to expand the power of the prime minister, to achieve the common rule of the court, he advocated in "Lü's Spring and Autumn": "The world, not the world of one person, the world of the world", and also used a gimmick of a thousand words to promote it......

Lü Buwei almost succeeded, and in those years, the forces of the clan and relatives were also constantly raising their heads, and the century-old centralization of power by the Qin kings was about to be destroyed.

This is also the reason why Qin Shi Huang hated him so much.

But at that time, Qin Shi Huang read a book, and there was a sentence in it that made him stunned!

"Those who see alone are clear, and those who hear alone are wise. Those who can make decisions can be the lord of the world! ”

These words have been compared to Shang Ying's "law, the place of the monarch and the minister; Those who believe, the co-existence of kings and ministers is also "one step further!"

Qin Shi Huang seemed to have found a confidant, and shouted: "The widow has to see this person, swim with him, and die without hatred!" ”

After Han Fei entered Qin, Qin Shi Huang had a deep conversation with him and had a deeper understanding of what "monarchy" was.

"The art that can make the king centralize power is the Tao, the monarch is the only one, and the Tao is the same!"

Unification, dictatorship, this is the cornerstone of Qin Shi Huang's governance, in order to unify, he will never divide the children, adhere to the county system, in order to be arbitrary, he continues to fight the power of the prime minister, Changping Jun after Kui, Wang Erxiang, but is a stamp with a stamp, and a good-looking ritual weapon, and so on to Li Si, Feng to disease, but also without the dignity of the prime minister, Qin Shi Huang said to change.

Qin Shi Huang paced to him, he was about the same height as Fusu, but after wearing the crown, he appeared taller.

This is the first time in ten years that Qin Shi Huang has said so many things to Fusu.

Because the emperor thought that Fusu in the past didn't even have the means to know these things......

As for now? Oh, in the eyes of all fathers, the son will always be "unsuccessful".

No matter how much we grow.

He shook his head and said, "You have learned to do what I like, read "Han Feizi", and use the things in it to advise, but you don't even know why I like it!" What a vain look! ”

Qin Shi Huang is proud and conceited, his firm will, is the direct driving force to unify the world, if there is no arbitrariness, there will be no talent of the six countries to Qin, there is no Zheng Guoqu, if there is no arbitrariness, there will be no second attack on Chu.

And he always believes that what he is doing now, the east and the west, the south and the north, is a high-level decision!

And if you want to accomplish this, not to mention immortality, at least you have to live a long life......

The group of officials who were eating vegetarian meals, the noisy hundreds, and the rat-eyed heads.

All they care about is the level of the lord, the battle for the horns, the food and clothing, how can they understand the great cause of Zepi for all generations?

Resentment, puzzled? It doesn't matter, there are those who are high, and they will be defeated by the world; He who has sole knowledge will be seen by the people. The fool is in success, and the knower is in the unbudding. The people should not start with worries, but they can be happy. Those who are virtuous are not in harmony with the vulgar, and those who have achieved great success are not in the public!

What he wants to do is to be unrestrained by anyone, unique, and do whatever he wants, the true emperor!

Today's father-son game has too much information, and Fusu is a little stunned, but he has not forgotten his purpose today and excuses him.

"But this has nothing to do with my father's punishment of Xi......"

"You still don't understand ......"

Qin Shi Huang was a little disappointed, and he returned to His Majesty with his hand: "Since you have been talking to me about the law, then I will deal with Xi Yifa." ”

Before Fusu was happy, Qin Shi Huang said: "You said that you should be guilty of overstepping your duties, but what about slander?" ”

In terms of understanding the law, how could Fusu be comparable to Qin Shi Huang? That's something he's been playing with for decades.

Qin Shi Huang threw the song that made him vomit blood at Fusu's feet, and let him see for himself: "These words, every word is slander!" ”

After Fusu picked it up and read it, he was also surprised, and he was even bolder than he imagined......

The crime of defamation, which was a new crime established a few years ago, will be regarded as a great disrespect for any words and deeds that are detrimental to Qin Shi Huang, and will be punished with the most severe punishment, exile for the lightest, and punishment for the heavier!

The emperor is a god, the emperor does not make mistakes, and the emperor cannot tolerate any criticism, even if it is well-intentioned! If they are allowed to come together, they can shatter the glittering gilding of the giant's body, revealing mundane mottled patina.

"Fusu, do you understand now?" Qin Shi Huang's voice came, it was so cold-blooded.

"The law, the end of the rule, this is a good statement, but there is another sentence behind, the monarch, the origin of the law!"

Where did the law of the Qin State come from? At the beginning, it was the patriarchal law of the Gong family, and later Shang Ying entered Qin, bringing the law scriptures, and with a little profit and loss, there was the Qin law. But in this law, it is mixed with the will of the monarch, Qin Xiaogong and Qin Hui King used this to eradicate the clan and kill Shang Ying, and King Qin Zhao also used this to give death to Bai Qi, rabbit to die and dog to cook, so that Fan Ju lost his head.

Today, the emperor's will is also integrated into the decree, and the cadre is arbitrary, and he may add clauses to the decree at any time if he wants: slander, false speech, coercion and other speech crimes, and can also change the term of service from one year to three years, and from one to ten times a year.

In that case, are there still stubborn officials who say that he is taking the lead in breaking the law?

In that case, do they have to obediently carry out such a law?

This is called the law of the law, and this is called the law of words!

Why does the law need to change? Is it for the convenience of the country and for the benefit of the people?

No, no, no, it is not to make Li Minqian's life better, but to change according to the emperor's great desire.

Qin Shi Huang was very clear about this:

"In the final analysis, the Fa is just a device I use to control the world, just like Hengshi, just like Fang Sheng."

"And the officials are just the people who come to operate the equipment, and exchange them for their loyalty, they are like parts on a crossbow machine, ready to be replaced"

"You see, there is no one among these thousands of people who is indispensable."

"From Prime Minister Li Si to the Pavilion Chief, it's all the same, even if it's a black man, even if it's a happy one!"

Every word shook Fusu's ears and buzzed.

The armor he spent half a year wearing was easily cut by Qin Shi Huang's sword, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only bow his head and be silent.

But Qin Shi Huang did not let him go.

"Fusu, do you think that this music of joy is slander?"

Fusu broke out in a cold sweat, saying that it was slander, and Naxi would add to the crime, and he was likely to be punished.

said that it is not slander, then it means that Fusu also approves of Xi's words, this question is really difficult to answer......

More difficult answers followed.

"Do you think that if I am wrong, I need to be like Yao Shun and admit my mistakes?"

"Do you think I can't live forever?"

There is another question that Qin Shi Huang did not ask directly.

"You think you have a lot of wings, so you can't wait!?"

……

Looking at his son, who was in a dilemma, Qin Shi Huang's throat itched and he wanted to cough again.

He wished he had said yes, that was expectation.

I hope he says no, that's unwilling.

The father-son relationship of the royal family is different from that of ordinary Qianshou families, but more like lions.

Even if it is a male lion, there will be a deep love for licking calves, but when the young lion grows up day by day, the relationship between the two is more sensitive and conflicting. Because the young and strong child will replace the aging self at any time and become the leader of the clan.

Animals are still unwilling, and will drive children away from them, let alone people?

"Fusu...... Can't. ”

It wasn't until he confronted his father for the first time in his life that he found that in front of the emperor, he thought he was fully prepared, but he was so vulnerable.

It prides itself on being thoughtful, but it seems extremely shallow.

But he must answer that this question not only determines the life and death of Xi.

"If Chang Nanhou is here, what will he say?"

In the midst of the lightning, Fusu flashed a thought, and bowed to Qin Shi Huang:

"Fusu firmly believes that his father can live forever! Erchen is willing to go to Kunlun in the Western Regions to find the Western Queen Mother State for his father! ”
