Yun Xi also assigned the police to collect taxes, change customs, and investigate bullies, which exhausted the police, especially the patrol officers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter all, the tax police and the criminal police are only responsible for collecting taxes and checking the little bullies, while the patrol police have to be responsible for changing customs and customs, and they have to mix in the collection of taxes and the investigation of bullies, which makes the patrol police extremely busy. The patrol officers of the police stations on both sides of the Qinhuai River have far fewer inspections of the Qinglou.

Yun Xi can't take care of them anymore. Not only does he have to take care of the affairs of the police, but he also has many matters to deal with in the court. In addition to the daily government affairs, the study Guan Zhong he launched really caused some doubts, although Guan Zhong was praised by Confucius back then, but Confucius did not agree with all his policies, and there were quite different voices in the court.

In addition, his change of customs, throwing garbage and splashing dirty water on the road has become a strict prohibition, which has also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"Hehehehehehe!" Everyone in the Qianqing Palace suddenly heard such a series of hehes, and everyone immediately raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from. But even if they don't look up, they know who is making these sounds: besides the emperor, who else dares to do this in the Qianqing Palace?

Su Youxue was closest to Yun Xi at this time and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?" ”

Yun Xi smiled, handed him the fold, and said, "Look at this fold, it actually says that my law is strict. ”

Su Youxue was taken aback, and after respectfully taking the fold from Yun Xi's hand, he looked at it carefully, only to know that it was the great Confucian Song Lin's fold, and the words were very vague, and Su Youxue, who was familiar with the Five Classics, also read it carefully before he understood that he was saying that Yun Xi's governance during this period of time was a bit harsh, and even vaguely pointed out that Qin died in strict punishment.

A few other scholars also came up to take a look. After reading it, Wang Gen said: "Your Majesty, what Master Song said is naturally alarmist, but his words are not unreasonable. ”

"Although the things that Your Majesty asked the patrol police to manage are all trivial, they must be punished if they make mistakes, either by punishing the station or by fining money, which is indeed a bit harsh. These ordinary people don't have much income in one day, and the punishment of this patrol officer is their income for one or two days, and the punishment station for one day also delays their income for one day, which is indeed a bit much. ”

For Wang Gen, Yun Xi gave him a little headache after he got to his side. Wang Gen has some talents, he is not a useless nerd, if he is allowed to be a traditional bureaucrat, he can do it.

But by the emperor's side, his thinking was a little outdated, and he couldn't keep up with Yun Xi's thoughts.

Yun Xi pondered and said, "It's true that the punishment is a bit severe, but if it's not so strict, how can they remember these rules?" Strict law to establish trust, this is a helpless thing. ”

Yun looked at Wang Gen and still didn't agree with it, and then said: "Besides, what Song Lin said in the compromise is not right, where is the Qin State because of the severe punishment and the law!" ”

As soon as Yun Xi's words came out, there was a sudden sound of gasping at the scene. Even if there are people like Yang Zirong who don't really respect the rules and regulations of Confucianism in their hearts, they also grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are convinced of the death of Qin, which has been established since the Han Dynasty, so everyone was very surprised when they heard Yun Xi's words.

Yun Xi ignored them, and continued: "The Qin State has been implementing strict punishment and strict laws since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, if the Qin State really died because of the strict punishment and strict law, then why did the Qin State soar in the early stage of the law change?" Can you still destroy the six countries of the East? ”

As soon as he asked this question, the people present who wanted to refute it had nothing to say. After Shang Ying implemented the reform, the national power of the Qin State skyrocketed and destroyed the six eastern kingdoms, which Confucianism could not explain, but the kings of all dynasties used Confucianism as a façade and were not allowed to pick thorns.

After a long time, Yang Zirong said boldly: "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty think is the reason for the fall of the Qin State?" ”

Yang Zirong knew that Yun Xi would launch his own new point of view every time he overturned it, so he dared to speak.

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Xi again. After Yunxi asked that question just now, many people lowered their heads and muttered to themselves.

Yun Xi was actually secretly grateful to Yang Zirong for saying this. If there was no Yang Zirong, he would be a little suspicious of selling melons and boasting about himself.

He said: "I think that the reason why the Qin State fell was because of the abuse of the people's power, the improper selection of officials, and the improper entrustment, not because of the harsh punishment of the law. ”

"Before the Qin State destroyed the Six Eastern Kingdoms, the Qin State was originally a small country in the west, even if the national strength continued to increase, it only occupied a quarter of the world's territory and one-third of the population before the destruction of the Six Kingdoms."

However, it took the First Emperor less than ten years to destroy the Six Kingdoms, so the number of officials who understood the system of the Qin State in the past was too small, resulting in many officials sent to the Six Eastern Countries not understanding the governance of the Qin State, which led to the change of the governance of the Qin State and caused chaos. This is an improper election of officials. ”

"As for the abuse of people's power, I don't need to say much, there are many summaries in all dynasties. It's just that I have one thing to explain, and the so-called abuse of people's power in the Qin State is also to let the people in the interior fight against the border. During the Qin period, because the territory of the Qin State was small, the people in the interior could reach the border on time; However, after the Qin State dominated the world, the time set was insufficient, causing the people to be exhausted. ”

"Needless to say, the third trust is not appropriate. Taishi Gong believed that the reason why Han Wu had the fault of dying Qin and not the fruit of dying Qin was that he was entrusted with the people, and he chose a suitable minister for Emperor Zhao of Han. ”

In fact, Yun Xi believes that there is a fourth reason for the death of Qin II, that is, the six eastern countries did not adapt to the autocratic and dictatorial culture of Qin at that time, and many bureaucrats of the original six countries resisted Qin's decrees from the heart; If the Qin State can produce a Ming monarch on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, just like the early years of the Han Dynasty, it will be fine after fifty or sixty years, but unfortunately Qin II is too useless. By the time Ziying succeeded to the throne, he had no way to recover.

After listening to Yun Xi's words, everyone felt that it made sense. The three reasons put forward by Yunxi are not completely detached from the traditional Confucian perspective, so they can all understand them, and the reasons have been more or less mentioned by Confucian scholars in the past dynasties, but Confucianism does not say much in order to highlight the harsh punishment and abuse of people's power in the Qin State.

Yang Zirong and the others were almost thinking about it, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty thinks about it, and the ministers can't do it." Then he bowed.

The others were stunned for a moment, and they also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty thinks far-reaching, and the ministers can't reach it." They did feel that Yun Xi's point of view was both innovative and correct, so they bowed sincerely.

Yun Xi smiled: "Let's all get up." But when they all got up, Yun Xi said in a deep voice, "I can see that you have some opinions about my recent administration, so I will take this opportunity to mention them today." ”
