Chapter 779 Which books did Qin Shi Huang burn

After several days of interrogation and interrogation, the accomplices of these people were soon identified. And so on! One by one, it was quickly traced to the entire Qin State.

I used to think that I would do this in other cities, but now it seems that there is no need for it. Just a few people can be caught, and many people can be identified. If you trace these people, you can find countless people.

In just over half a year, under the strict laws of the Qin State, all the invisible people have been investigated.

Don't you say no? It doesn't matter if you're unlucky, but you have family and friends. If you don't say it, if someone else confesses you, your relatives and friends will suffer. Under this joint responsibility, you have to say. Furthermore! You said that you can reduce the crime, you don't have to build the Great Wall, you can stay in the local area and do projects to benefit the people.

Building the Great Wall is a chore, and ordinary people can't stand it, and it's even harder than military service in the past.

When you are in the military, you can eat better when you are not fighting. There is a battle, and it is a big deal to die.

And build the Great Wall! But he has to work every day. Reputedly! I have to move big rocks every day. If you are not careful, you may roll down the mountain. Or! I was crushed by a big rock. It's true! Miserable.

Peng Zhou and Qin Shi Huang were very curious: what theories do these charlatans use?

Liars also have their own teachers, their own principles, and their own theoretical systems. And also! This kind of person generally has a set of his own experience that deceives others.

At Peng Zhou's behest, Qin Shi Huang ordered these people to write out their theories. Or! Explain the theoretical basis on which they are based. What did you base your setup on? You see that there is a basis for physiognomy, huh? Isn't it? It's not based on ancient texts or your own theories, isn't it?

Shoot one’s mouth off? That's impossible!

After collecting these books and the experience stories written by these people, Peng Zhou and Qin Shi Huang asked them to take a copy of these things and see what the hell it was?

Outcome! I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!

What the hell is it? It's all a mess! Plainly! That is: they make up what the world believes. And! They will all find the so-called "theoretical basis" in ancient books.

And the so-called ancient books that these people rely on are not the ancient books stipulated by the Qin State of "the same track, the same text, and the same line".

Before! When Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he only stipulated that "cars are on the same track, books are on the same text, and lines are the same", but he did not completely ban them. As long as you behave and do things according to the laws of the Qin State, other aspects and subsections are still tolerable.

Other words! You can also read books on other aspects, and you can learn from the hundred schools of thought, take their essence, and remove the dross.

Right now! Qin Shi Huang discovered that these people obeyed the laws of Qin on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were advocating their set of theories. And! It is still based on "ancient historical books".

Nima Di! What historical texts are you basing upon? What have you taken from it?

All the things that were recovered were naturally going to be burned.

Other than that! It is also necessary to trace back to the source, make a list of the "ancient books" on which these people are based, and clean up the entire Qin State. These so-called ancient books must be handed over to me within the specified time, otherwise they will all be punished.

Don't say that you are based on Confucius's "Analects", if you can't interpret the "Analects" correctly, you are just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and your book is a book that is forbidden to be recirculated, and it must be turned in and burned.

How to operate, Qin Shi Huang handed over the task to Prime Minister Li Si.

Therefore! Li Si made three suggestions to Qin Shi Huang:

One! Except for the "Qin Ji", medicine, divination, peasant classics, Zhuzi and other historical ancient books, the rest of the so-called "ancient books" were handed over to the government for destruction within a time limit. Whoever fails to do so within 30 days shall be punished with whale punishment and hard labor; 315 Chinese Network

Two! Those who talk about "poems" and "books" will be punished, those who are not ancient and modern will be exterminated, and those who will not be seen by officials will be guilty of the same crime;

Three! Those who are willing to learn the law should take the officials as their teachers.

Qin Shi Huang read the twists and turns and approved Li Si's proposal.

Why wasn't the divination destroyed?

Divination is a traditional method of divination by wise men since ancient times, and the technique is public. So! It can't be banned.

The main object of the ban is the words of troubled times.

Ancient books that are not classics will be burned!

The classics recognized by the world are still preserved.

Those who talk about modern current affairs on the basis of ancient books are obviously expressing dissatisfaction with the status quo of the Qin State and the First Emperor. So! All those who talk about it must be severely punished.

Ancient times are ancient times, modern times are modern times, and you apply the ancient methods of governing the country to modern times, which is completely unintegrated with reality and reality. So! You're.

If you want to learn ancient methods, you can also do it! Take the officials of the relevant aspects of the Qin State as an example to follow, or worship them as teachers and follow them to learn.

Qin Shi Huang showed Li Si's three suggestions to Peng Zhou and asked if it was okay?

Peng Zhou saw that Li Si's three suggestions were very good, so he nodded and agreed.

I thought: It turns out that not all books are burned! It is not a Confucian book, let alone Confucius's Analects. All the ancient books recognized by the world have been preserved. All that burned was the messy dross.

And also! did not allow the burning of ancient books such as "Shangshu" and "Book of Songs", but did not allow these people to use these ancient books to criticize the current Qin State and indirectly attack Qin Shi Huang.

There is no burning on the explicit order, but! Later, the officials below felt that it was not easy to do things, so they suggested that they be burned together. Aren't you using these ancient books to criticize current events? So! Let these ancient books accompany you to the funeral!

It's not burning! It's buried! Bury what you think is a treasure with you.

First burn these unhealthy books, and then! Only then will we deal with those whose minds do not bend.

The four people who were captured by Peng Zhou, Qin Shi Huang handed them over to Li Si and asked them to be Li Si's helpers.

With these four people, Li Si is like a tiger with wings. These people are from the folk and know where your books are. Don't hand it over, do you? I'll find out when I go to your house.

Like a thief, where can you hide your money? Can you hide the thief?

In the ancient books of related aspects, under the instruction of Qin Shi Huang, Li Si still grabbed a handful and loosened a handful, and pretended not to see it with one eye open and one eye closed.

In a word! Those who refused to turn it in, regardless of whether they were hiding illegal "ancient books" or legal books stipulated by the Qin State, were given as funeral gifts to these people.

Outcome! As a result, the world and some dissatisfied people misinterpreted and spread false rumors, saying that Qin Shi Huang burned all kinds of books.

In order to achieve their personal goals, some people in later generations knew that Qin Shi Huang did not burn all books, but they deliberately misinterpreted and spread false rumors, regarded Qin Shi Huang as a negative teaching material and a typical example, and then used this as a basis to slander and criticize.
