Chapter 47 Only I can represent the justice of the world
"The son is ashamed of his father's teaching, please punish his father."
Fusu's heart was shocked, he had grown so big since he was a child, and he had never heard his father say what was in his heart.
"Stand up, only cowards kneel at every turn."
Ying Zheng suddenly turned around, glared at Fusu, and scolded.
"Whoa."
Fusu was startled and stood up, like a child who had done something wrong, cramped and uneasy.
"I'll tell you a story!"
Looking at Fusu's uneasy appearance, Ying Zheng's gaze softened a little.
"Son, listen up."
How dare Fusu refuse, he can only be an honest listener.
"There was a king, who was unparalleled in righteousness and loved his people like a son. He despised the law, emphasized the rituals, renounced punishment, and was good at education. ”
"But since he succeeded to the throne, there have been many natural disasters, and the people are struggling to make a living, do you know why?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he asked Fusu.
"Father, there is an old saying, if a king does not show benevolence and righteousness, he will be punished by heaven. The retainers thought that this king must be a hypocritical and immoral lord. ”
Fusu thought about it and said without thinking.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”
Ying Zheng laughed.
Fusu was confused, what was ridiculous about what he said?
"Wrong, he is very frugal, and when the people of the world are affected, he shrinks his clothes and eats less, and spends the difficulties with all the people of the world."
"Every year he would give amnesty to the world and give relief to the victims, but no one in the world received his grace, and finally became the king of the country."
Ying Zheng sighed and said meaningfully.
"Why is this happening? Father, if he is really like what you said, then he is simply an ancient sage alive, shouldn't the people of the world love such a king? Why did he become the king of the dead country? ”
Fusu looked incredulous and raised his doubts.
"That's a good question, why?"
"He despised the law and forsook punishment, and the people only knew etiquette and self-discipline, and the law was useless. Someone who committed a capital crime was pardoned by the world and punished with hard labor before he could be beheaded. But before he could finish hard labor, he was pardoned by the king and acquitted. ”
As a result, the law was gone, and all the people in the world were fearless, the prestige of the imperial decrees was lost, and the wicked became even more unscrupulous after they were released from prison. Those who do evil are not punished and restrained, and those who do good are not praised. ”
Ying Zheng made a pun and glanced at the shocked Fusu Dao.
Fusu felt as if his heart had been pushed open to the door of a new world, and he wanted to walk into the gate and see the scene of that world, but when he walked to the gate, he stopped and did not dare to move forward.
He was afraid that the world he saw was not the world he had dreamed of for many years.
"Father, shouldn't these sinful people be grateful for the king's grace and forsake evil from good?"
Fusu's face showed a look of struggle, still a little obsessed.
"All things in this world are born and restrain each other, there is yin and yang, and the world is born with good and evil. It is only because of the fear of punishment that he refrains from suppressing the evil in his heart. ”
"If there is no deterrence, do you think that poor kindness can survive in the world of demons and demons?"
"Not everyone in this world is born a sage, and the vast majority of people are blind and ignorant."
Ying Zheng still wants to make a final effort, if Fusu is still obsessed, the prince of Great Qin will never be him.
"Father, severe punishment, severe punishment, abandonment of etiquette, reprimand. If the people of the world talk about the law and change color, and speak of punishment and are afraid. ”
"If the people of the world only know the law, but not loyalty and filial piety. Isn't it a tyrant who is unreasonable, as the sages say, and is not loved by the people of the world, and such a country will not be stable for long. ”
Fusu did not give in, this was the concept of his life, how could he easily believe that what he learned in this life was all the learning of the country and the people?
He would rather believe in his father's story, which was just a fabrication of his father out of thin air, rather than reality.
"The Great Qin Empire attaches great importance to the law, teaches and educates, is loyal and filial, and is also the director of a hundred schools. Whether it is Legalism, Confucianism, Moism, or peasantry, as long as they are the directors of a hundred schools, they will all be able to exert useful doctrines for the Great Qin Empire. ”
"The peasants taught the people to open up the wasteland and cultivate the fields, the Confucianists taught the people to distinguish between right and wrong, and the Mohists taught the people to have strange work skills, and the heads of a hundred schools of thought all had gains."
"Where is the falsehood of the harsh law?"
"I have never denied Confucianism, but those pedantic words are for the people, not for the king."
"As a king, if you can't listen to all schools of thought and blindly abide by those pedantic words, you will be a dumb king without a way and an incompetent tyrant."
Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, his heart was burning with anger, and he scolded.
Fusu showed a look of fear on his face, and was frightened by Yingzheng's angry shouting, so he could only stubbornly say: "My father oppresses people with power, and my sons have nothing to say." ”
"Bastard, I let you argue, and I'll argue with you today."
"Zhou Tianzi believes in benevolence, righteousness and morality, who will save him in this world?"
"Confucius traveled around the world, and which prince believed his nonsense?"
"Ji Ke, Xun Guoji went down to the school palace to teach the Tao, the country of Qi is known as the stars are shining, gathering talents from all over the world, where is the country of Qi now?"
"The land of Qilu is known as the land of civilization, and the great Confucians in the world are all out of Qilu, and the great Confucians you believe in are not all slaves and kneeling at my feet, crawling and trembling."
"I want them to die now, and they won't see the sun of tomorrow."
"Benevolence, righteousness and morality have never been the only criterion for measuring justice in the world, only I can represent justice in the world, and only I can judge the difference between good and evil in the world."
"I am angry, the world of Kyushu will be a river of blood, I am happy, and the four seas and eight wildernesses are prosperous and healthy."
"In your heart, the so-called justice is a manifestation of the incompetence of the weak. It's just to criticize the strong and elevate their own cowardly behavior. ”
"Holding the authority of the world, how many people in this world are greedily staring at this supreme imperial power. If you keep your so-called righteous path in your heart, you will only be eaten by those traitors with evil intentions, and there will be no bones left. ”
"I can take the Zhao State as a hostage, ascend to the throne, sweep the six countries, and look at the world, it has never relied on any so-called justice."
"Instead, rely on means, strategy, scheming, iron blood, killing, and ruthlessness to deter the eight directions, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die."
"Do you think that this Great Qin Temple, civil and military officials, loyal to Great Qin, loyal to me, is for the so-called justice?"
"No...... I tell you that they are like this because I can lift them up to the clouds and be admired by the world. It can also trample them into the abyss, and they will never recover. ”
"They love me, and they don't have much reverence. They revere me and have no fear. They did not dare to betray me because they understood that betraying me was the only way to die. They can't fight me, so they can only obediently bow down and obey. ”
"For the king, if you can't play with the ministers in the applause, you will become the supreme of the world. can only be played by the ministers in the Golden Palace, becoming a puppet of the marionette. ”
Ying Zheng glared at Fusu angrily and said deafeningly.
