Chapter 764:-for-tat
From beginning to end, Li Si did not say another word.
The high-ranking officials of the three provinces and the six ministries and the princes and princes also did not express their positions.
Until it's clear, these people won't be involved casually.
This time is different from the last time Meng Yi stepped on Zhao Gao, that time it was because Meng Yi got the conclusive evidence of Zhao Gao's rebellion, and the stormy attack caused the emperor to be angry, and even seduced the military god Wang Jian who had been idle at home to testify, the emperor made a clear statement, so the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and it was logical for Zhao Gao to fall, the Ministry of Supervision was the first to attack, and the Criminal Department supported it, which led to an unprecedented earthquake in the officialdom, and countless high-ranking officials were arrested and taken to prison.
The theory of the ten evils of magic is no longer a simple academic topic, but has risen to the level of national security.
Abolishing magic to govern the country means that to completely overthrow the concept of governing the country that Great Qin has adhered to for a hundred years, everything must be restarted.
The new concept of governing the country has not yet taken shape, and it can even be said that it has not yet appeared, from the emperor to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to the officials and people of the world do not know how to govern the country after the abolition of magic, and this is the crux of the problem.
The current Qin Shi Huang is no longer the high-spirited Qin Wangzheng at the beginning, and his mind is a little unpredictable.
And the civil and military ministers and officials of the Manchu Dynasty were no longer guest ministers who needed to work hard to show their ability to gain status before the founding of the Great Qin Empire, but the aristocratic class who had already stabilized their status and began to enjoy benefits.
The only people who were dissatisfied with the harsh decrees of Great Qin were the first six kings, the nobles and the common people.
But these people are the oppressed and dominant stratum, and they have no right to speak at all.
Except for Chen Xu, a guy whose soul ran out of the body and crossed the wrong way, there will not be too many people who care about the life and death of ordinary people.
Everyone's understanding is that as long as there is the rule of the emperor, the court will be stable, and Daqin will inevitably continue to develop steadily.
But everyone didn't know the true future direction of Great Qin.
Although Zulong is eloquent and strategic, he has indeed made a huge and unreasonable mistake at the level of national development.
If you don't set up a prince, after all, you will lay the most direct hidden danger for the collapse of Great Qin.
The court quieted down, and slowly everyone's eyes focused on Chen Xu.
Among them was the Emperor.
Chen Xu finally stood up and bowed his hand to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Xianyang Metropolis Daily and the Hundred Forums are all run by the ministers, in order to open up the way to solicit the wisdom of the world to govern the country, and now Li Xiang suddenly made a difficulty, asking for the ban on the newspaper to arrest the editor and cure the crime of chaos in the country, the minister wants to ask Li Xiang to explain, where does the crime of the newspaper chaos come from?" ”
"Qinghe Hou asked knowingly, didn't you read the hundred forums published the day before yesterday?" Li Si said expressionlessly.
"Ben Hou has naturally read it, I don't know which policy Li Xiang is talking about, and Li Xiang wants to add the crime of chaos in the country?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at Li Si.
"The famous Handan Sun Pi has published an article on the ten disadvantages of magic, full of nonsense, accusing the magic of governing the country with many drawbacks, and if the magic is not abolished, my Great Qin is in danger, so blatantly and bewilderingly, isn't it a chaotic country? The Hundred Forums are affiliated journals of the newspaper, and the editors rashly published such panicked words without the permission of His Majesty and without the review of the three provinces and six ministries. My Great Qin is strong in magic, and if it is stable today, and this Sun Pi is so arrogant and slanderous about the national policy, isn't it intended to subvert my Great Qin Sheji, and to destroy the country and the country that His Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers assisted in destroying the country? As the operator of the Xianyang Metropolis Daily, can the Marquis of Qinghe give the old man a reasonable explanation, an explanation to His Majesty, and an explanation to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers! Li Si looked at Chen Xu aggressively, with no intention of backing down.
Chen Xu's cheeks twitched slightly, and the beard and eyebrows of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu trembled together.
This is the second time that Li Si and Chen Xu questioned each other-for-tat above the court.
The first time was because of book burning.
That time, Chen Xu also questioned Li Si so aggressively.
And this time the places were exchanged.
But the tone is almost identical.
Last time, Chen Xu asked Li Si that the book burning was to destroy the classics of the sages and trap the emperor in an unkind and unrighteous place, and there were hundreds of disciples from all over the world.
And this time, Li Si also brought out the emperor, and also sacrificed the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, a group of nobles who were in charge of Great Qin.
One uses the nobility as a bargaining chip, and the other uses the common people as a bargaining chip.
The only thing that cannot escape is the role of the emperor in it.
Any change of national policy and decree, the emperor is a hurdle, and it is also the only hurdle, if you can't cross it, everything will be over, and it will not have the slightest effect on breaking your brain.
"Ben Hou has nothing to explain, the role of Daqin Metropolis Daily is obvious to all in the world, whether it is disaster relief donations or in the transmission of His Majesty's edicts and court decrees, and even agricultural guidance and all aspects of Daqin's construction are important, because a mere policy Li Xiang is going to ban the newspaper and arrest the editor, is it because he wants Daqin to regress to the point where the previous news is blocked, so that the people of the world do not know the court decree? As for the theory of subverting the country and the society, Ben Hou also felt that Li Xiang was too alarmist, didn't he know that the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, could it be that Li Xiang had forgotten the king of Zhouli? Chen Xu looked at Li Si without giving in
"Zhou Li Wang ......"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including the emperor, were suddenly stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, the civil and military officials above the court began to whisper and communicate again, and their faces were serious and serious, and even the emperor's face suddenly became gloomy.
King Zhou Li is the tenth king of the Zhou Dynasty, the king is worried about civil strife outside the country and does not want to govern the country, but he is still absurd and unreasonable, poor and extravagant, and the decline of national strength leads to financial income beyond his means, so under the advice of a man called Rong Yi Gong, King Zhou Li asked for an increase in taxes, collecting medicine, chopping wood, hunting, fishing and even drinking water and walking, the people complained, and many auxiliary ministers felt that it was inappropriate, and asked the king to abolish these national laws that collected taxes, but the king of Zhou Li not only did not listen, but punished those ministers who made speeches, At the same time, he also arrested and cursed his own people everywhere, so that the people did not dare to talk to each other on the road, only dared to make eye contact, so Hojing became lifeless, and no one could hear anyone scolding King Li, so King Li also said proudly: Look, no one dares to scold me now! Summoning the public tiger to speak: The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, it is better to be sparse than blocked, and it is going to be a big thing if people are not allowed to speak. Three years later, the people rioted into the palace and the soldiers rebelled, so the king fled in a hurry and died in a place called Yu, and the Zhou dynasty began to move towards irreversible weakness.
The allusions of the Zhou Dynasty can be said to be clear to the officials of the Qin Dynasty, after all, the age is not long away.
The words of defending the people are even better than defending Sichuan, Chen Xu guessed at the beginning of running the newspaper that someone might attack the newspaper's remarks, so he deliberately made up this historical allusion, and took it out to fight back against Li Si at this time, which was just right.
"Haojing is just south of the Wei River, and the mistakes of the kings are close at hand, could it be that Li Xiang wants to be the second Rongyi Gonghu? Blocking the way of speech, not letting the people of the world speak, Li Xiangjin said that he wanted His Majesty to learn from the king of the Zhou calendar? Chen Xu's tone was still aggressive.
So far, there is not much room for concessions, even if today's spell battle cannot be won, but the momentum must not lose too much, let Li Si be more restrained in the future, so as not to poke his weakness from time to time.
Newspapers and 100 forums must not fail, because this is the forefront and the most important means of promoting reform in the future.
"What the Marquis of Qinghe said is that the confinement of the newspaper will inevitably make the world's scholars rise up, and the role of the newspaper is also increasing day by day, it is precisely because of the newspaper, with the hard work of many editors and reporters, we can sit at home and learn about the affairs of the world, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to my Great Qin, except for the king of the Zhou Dynasty, there is no one who has heard the remarks of the people, Li Xiangche do not mislead Your Majesty, and please retract the request to ban the newspaper and seal up the hundred forums and arrest the editor!" A four-grade official stepped forward.
"The ministers seconded it!" Huhula, a large group of officials stood up and put it up.
Li Si's face jumped slightly, and after a moment of silence, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the newspaper can still be forgiven, but Sun Pi, who bewitches the public, must not be forgiven, otherwise the minister is afraid that there will be more rebellious strategies in the future, the minister said before, the rebellion of Daqin began in all beings, and Your Majesty must not be guarded against!" ”
"Li Xiang's words are reasonable, and the ministers seconded it!" There was also a large number of officials in the court, who stood up for Li Si,
In an instant, the two groups of people in the court stared at each other without giving in, rolling up their sleeves and rolling their eyes, trying to kill each other with their eyes.
Feng Quji, who had been sitting silently, moved his body and was about to stand up, but Chen Xu was the first to speak: "The minister thinks that it is not a wise move to deal with Sun Pi, please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”
"Qinghe Hou, do you intend to exonerate those who rebel against the country?" Lees was furious.
"Why is Li Xiang so angry, the hundred forums are widely opened, and the words of the people are endless, which is really a sign of the prosperity of my Great Qin, although the ten disadvantages of magic are inappropriate, but it is not nonsense everywhere, suppressing commerce, the criminal law is harsh, the taxes are heavy, and the people are forbidden to come and go, the people are really miserable, the implementation of these decrees in the past is because of the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, but now my Great Qin has been unified in China for several years, it is the time to cultivate and raise the people to develop the people's livelihood, the times are different, but the imperial court still holds the defects and does not change the law, It is not reasonable, I don't know who this Sun Pi is, and I don't want to explore his heels, we can at least see from the ten disadvantages of spells that the voice that we couldn't hear in the court has appeared, so that we can clearly know what the people want to say, what they want, once arrested and punished, the people of the world dare not speak, does Li Xiang want His Majesty to be the second king of Zhouli? Chen Xu asked rhetorically.
"Could it be that the Marquis of Qinghe wants to support Sun Pi's remarks, completely abandon the spell, and destroy the foundation of the Great Qin state?" Li Si looked at Chen Xu with a cold face.
"Benhou doesn't have it, the rule of magic is the foundation of Great Qin's stability and prosperity, and it cannot be abolished or abolished!" Chen Xu shook his head.
There was a commotion in the court, and countless people felt incredible because of Chen Xu's concession, and at the same time, many people also nodded slightly, and even the emperor's tight cheeks relaxed slightly.
Li Si was stunned for a long time, and felt very uncomfortable, like a punch on a pile of reed pillows, and the blow that had been prepared for a long time was easily defused by Chen Xu.
