Zhangtai Palace is full of corpses, and it is a mess. More than 30 of the courtiers were killed and wounded, and more than 10 were killed by the assassins, and dozens of courtiers were injured because of falls and tramples when they fled. Originally, it was the towering Zhangtai where the princes respectfully respected the Qin, but just because of the two assassins, they became wolves and swept the floor, which has to be said to be a great irony.

And this irony also means the weakness of the Qin state. Her strength is only on the outside and not on the inside, as long as the enemy pierces through the outer wall and breaks into the inside, there will be no decent resistance, some are just hand-to-hand fighting temple people, and then there are also ministers who run around the pillar.

After the assassination, the Qin Palace did not appear for six days. During the six days, both inside and outside the court were thinking of ways to prevent assassins from assassinating again, from strictly inspecting business travelers to strengthening palace bans, from copper and iron to pottery instead of gold, from banning swordsmanship to exhausting the ...... of the six arts.

There are all the ways to come up, and after the minister submits the letter, the scribe who is sleeping quickly classifies and archives it, and if the contents are similar, they will not be announced. If there is something new, he will immediately report to Zhao Zheng, because what he has been discussing in the past few days is to eliminate the assassins and make the Kwantung subjugated.

"I don't know the power of the world, the right to build the country, the function, the great frugality, and the difference, etc., was not enough to tolerate differences, county monarchs and ministers; However, it persists for a reason, and its words are reasonable, enough to deceive the foolish. It's Mo Zhai, Song Yu, and King Jing. ”

Under the gaze of Zhao Zheng, Aristotle IV, as well as the Mo family's Juzi Yan Wuyi, Xiong Qi, Li Si, Han Fei and others, Xun said angrily. Among these people, Li Si and Han Fei are his disciples, even if they are not on his side, they will not refute, but Yan Wuyi and Aristotle IV speak out against it from time to time, which makes him very angry.

“…… It is necessary to make the people of the world submit, to be under the heavens, to wealth all things, to feed the people for a long time, and to benefit the world; The genus of access is not subject to obedience. In this way, the eight speakers will rest, and the fourteen sons will be moved, and the saints will be powerful, Shun and Yu are also. ”

does not know how to unify the world and establish the law of the state, advocates utilitarianism and practicality, attaches importance to thrift and despises hierarchical differences, and even does not allow the existence of differences and differences between people, nor does it allow the disparity between monarchs and ministers, (this is the current problem of the Qin State, and it is also the problem of other theories outside Confucianism). However, those who hold different opinions are well-founded and methodical in their arguments, and they are sufficient to deceive and deceive the ignorant people. Mo Zhai, Song Yu, and King Chu are such people.

…… Therefore, if you want to make the people of the world submit, you must manage all things and nurture the people after the unification of the world, so that everyone in the world can benefit; Wherever they could reach, no one would disobey them, so that the eight doctrines mentioned above would immediately disappear, and the fourteen would also abandon the evil and follow the right. This is the person who has gained power among the saints, Shun and Yu are such people.

In fact, the method of Xun situation is to 'concurrently benefit', and those who hold different doctrines are 'the unpowerful ones of the saints, and Zhongni and Zigong are also', but if they can achieve 'concurrent benefit', the doctrines of these people will disappear, and those who hold these doctrines will also change their ways and return to righteousness.

After several days of discussion, everyone had come to the conclusion that it was the belief in different doctrines that led to Jing Ke's assassination.

Xun Kuang believes that Jing Ke has no monarch in his heart, so he ignores Wei Yuanjun, so it is necessary to rebuild the law of Qin at the moment, establish the hierarchy difference between monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and there must be a huge disparity between the upper and lower levels. If Jing Ke was loyal to the monarch and not for himself, he would have surrendered to Great Qin because Wei Yuanjun had given up the assassination.

Yan Wuyi is a Mo family, and he believes that the reason why Jing Ke assassinated was because he did not understand the significance of Great Qin's unification of the world and the suppression of killing. He did not agree with Xun Qian's method of re-establishing the law and re-establishing the hierarchy, and when Xun Guo made a lengthy discussion, his face that had been injured by molten iron kept laughing, and when Xun Guo finally finished speaking, he immediately said: "The words of Confucianism are not in line with Qin."

The ancients were the rulers of the holy kings, and the virtuous were virtuous, although the people in the agriculture and the industrial shops, if they were capable, they would be raised, the lords of the high, the re-giving, the things to be done, and the orders to be given. It is the old government that is impermanent and noble, and the people are not cheap. Wu Anjun, who is a marquis, can also be demoted to the head of Qian, and if the head of Qiantou makes meritorious service, he can also be named a prince, how can he be 'a monarch and a minister, a father and a son'?

The matter of the assassin is that the righteousness of the world is still different, so the world is in chaos. If we can share the righteousness of the world, the world will naturally love each other and benefit each other. ”

"How to join the righteousness of the world? Choose the virtuous, sagely, and wise people in the world, and establish them as the Son of Heaven, so that they can engage in the righteousness of the world? Li Si asked with a smile. Shang Ru ......" Li Si continued to laugh, "Shang Ru people in the world do not choose the king as the Son of Heaven, what if?" ”

"You!" Mohists advocate equality for all and the same with virtue. The Son of Heaven of the Mo family was elected by everyone, so the question arises: What if the people of the world do not choose Zhao Zheng as the Son of Heaven?

"The king is virtuous and wise, why don't the people of the world choose?" Seeing that Zhao Zheng's face sank, Yan Wuyi argued anxiously. "If the people of the world do not choose a king, they must be instigated by the enemy country and become a national thief. Since he is a national thief, everyone will be punished. ”

"Oh. It turns out that this is how the foot has become a great son of the Mo family? Li Si still laughed. He already knew what was going on with the Mo family. Love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, it sounds good, but in fact there is no possibility of implementation.

"The sage of the king is enough to be the son of heaven." Yan Wuyi ignored Li Si and just turned to Zhao Zheng.

"What is Yanqing's plan?" It is simply impossible to elect the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Zheng doesn't care about Yan Wuyi's explanation. He destroyed the Kwantung countries not to strip them from the land, but to make them submit to Great Qin.

"Minister......" Yan Wuyi stammered, and the scars burned by molten iron were entangled.

"Your Excellency." Han Fei said: "Assassins are rampant, because the laws of Great Qin are negligent, and the assassins can be killed by supplementing the laws and preventing troubles, or ......."

"Add more laws, and do not make the people of the Kanto submit to the widows." No matter how knowledgeable a person is, there is a limit to his knowledge. Zhao Zheng saw the limit of Han Fei's knowledge, or the limit of Legalism. The law only punishes behavior, not the mind.

"The king......" Zhao Zheng was disappointed, and he said: "My lord, why don't you burn books?" ”

"Book burning?" Zhao Zheng kindled some hope.

"The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, how can you burn books?" Xun Guo was angry when he heard this. "The former Wei martingale taught the ancestors of filial piety and burnt the "poems" and "books" and made the decrees, and everyone in the world complained."

There is a tradition of burning books in the Qin State, Han Fei is verbose, and he also wants to suggest that Zhao Zheng burn the book after 'or', but is interrupted. Li Si also thought so in his heart, but he was very clear about the attitude of the teacher, so he didn't dare to propose.

"Sir, wait a minute." Zhao Zheng looked at Wuji and Aristotle IV, "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

"More than 300 years ago, the Jewish king Jehoiakim burned the prophet Jeremiah's Baruphenileah because he did not like the prophecy of the Babylonian invasion of the Jewish kingdom." Aristotle IV tells about the beginning of the seventh century BC. "Don't be afraid to tell me that the last words of the Assassin before he died were not actually said by King Chuni, but by a scholar named Yang Zhu. In that case, please burn all of Yang Zhu's books. ”

"Yang Zhu?" Zhao Zheng knew very little about Yang Zhu, and in the Qin State, he could not read Yang Zhu's words.

"Are there any other scholars like this?" Aristotle IV looked at Wuji, then at Zhao Zheng, as well as Xun Kuang, Li Si, Han Fei, Yan Wuyi and others. "If there is, then it should be burned together."

"The words of Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai are all over the world, and the words of the world are not attributed to Yang, but to Mo." Yan Wuyi was a little proud, when Yang Mo's words were in the world, Confucianism was only in the corner of Lu State.

"Your Majesty, the scholar who calls himself Mo has nothing in common with his Yang Zhu." Aristotle IV didn't know that Yan Wuyi was boasting, and he thought he was worried about whether he would burn the Mo family's books. "The Mo scholars are the same as the doctrines of other scholars.... Now, all we have to do is burn Yang Zhu's writings and prohibit the dissemination of speech and ideas about him in Qinni. ”

In order not to provoke the disgust of Xun Kuang, Han Fei, Yan Wuyi and others, Wu Ji made certain reservations when translating, but Aristotle IV's suggestion still made Zhao Zheng a little curious, and he asked, "Why is this so?" When the widow heard the Yang family's words, it was to benefit the world and not pluck a hair, and it would not enter the dangerous city and not be in the army. ”

"The Yang family is for me, and there is no king, and his book should indeed be burned." When Zhao Zheng asked questions and did not hesitate to translate, Xun changed his attitude and favored book burning.

"The world is still the same, but the Yang family is self-interested, how can my Mo family be the same?" Yan Wuyi also said.

"Yang Jiazhi said, if you don't obey the law, you are afraid of death, and you should really burn it." Han Fei followed.

"Yang Zhu's words should be burned, King Jing's words, and Dajing News should also be burned." Xiong Qi was worried that there would be fish that slipped through the net, so he added Da Chu News as well. "Dajing News makes Qianshou know the affairs of the world, understand the benefits of human nature, advocate the courage to kill, and confuse the people for a long time."

One by one, the courtiers agreed with their proposal, and Aristotle IV smiled and nodded. After everyone had finished speaking, he answered Zhao Zheng's previous question.

"Your Majesty should know from the attitude of these scholars that although there are differences between them, they are essentially the same. They all want a great god, or someone as great as a god to rule the whole world, only Yang Zhu's remarks are not like this, he knows what 'I' is.

He does not sacrifice a single hair of his own hair for the country because the country has nothing to do with him; He did not enter dangerous cities because he understood the preciousness of life; As for his reluctance to put on armor to fight...... I would like to know if he agreed to start the war? ”

Speaking of which, Aristotle IV looked at Zhao Zheng with an inquiring look in his eyes. Zhao Zheng didn't react to this, he never knew that the war had to be approved by the head of Qian, how could the head of the country participate in major national affairs?

"So I think that Yang Zhu's doctrine is exactly the same as that of others, Your Majesty only needs to burn his writings, expel its followers, and then ......" Aristotle IV looked at Xun Kuang, Yan Wuyi, Han Fei and others, and smiled with disdain: "That's it." ”
