Chapter 45: Violent Qin is not violent
Cao Shi smiled faintly, and told the story of Emperor Taizu Gao's army, according to the covenant of Emperor Yi, he first entered the pass and became the king, and entered the three chapters of the Xianyang City Covenant Law Yu Shiminqiu did not commit any crimes, and the palace treasury only took away the Qin Empire's Prime Minister's imperial history and law order to hide it, and then returned to the army to wait for Xiang Yu to enter the customs.
Focusing on the three years of destroying Qin, and the five years of destroying Chu are a few strokes, and the palace from the prince to the inner servants are confused, Wang Zang couldn't bear it and scolded: "What does Doctor Taizhong want to say? Tell these well-known stories to divert the prince's attention? ”
"Doesn't the prince see the mystery in it? The mystery that Emperor Taizu Gao had to admire the world for it, as well as the fundamental foundation of our Han system, are all in it. ”
The young master of the crown prince looked at him suspiciously and helplessly, but Liu Che held his chin and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”
"Everyone in the world knows that Qin is tyrannical and loses the world, but they don't know what tyranny is, so people such as Jia Yi are far-fetched to come up with the result of Qin's strict law, especially Confucianism's favorite repeatedly mentioned, such as Wang Shaofu, in fact, the source of tyrannical Qin is the resentment of the Six Kingdoms, not the harshness of Qin's law."
Wang Zang couldn't help but scold: "What nonsense! If Qin's law is not strict, how can there be so many rebellions! You dignified princes actually whitewash the tyrannical Qin must have deceitful intentions, please ask Your Highness to severely punish the Marquis of Pingyang! ”
Liu Che rolled his eyes when Wang Zang was talking nonsense, and secretly ridiculed this teacher in his heart for being too pedantic, except for the loud and noisy disrespect at the ritual sacrifice that was half of the crime because of words, otherwise as long as he did not curse the emperor with witchcraft, he would not touch the threshold of being convicted for words.
Cao Shi sneered: "Wang Shaofu is unwise, he actually forgot all the four words of the Han Cheng Qin system, when the ancestor entered the customs to close the palace treasury, and the only one who took away the official documents, laws, books, and household registration names of the prime minister of the violent Qin, not only mastered the geographical graphics of the mountains and rivers of the violent Qin, but also understood the specific conditions such as the identification of the household registration exhibition, road traffic passes, etc., all of the above things are worth ten thousand times more than the millions of gold, gold beads and jade hidden in Xianyang, which laid the foundation for the Han family to destroy Chu in five years, do you still have any questions about the Han Cheng Qin system?" ”
The crown prince Liu Che suddenly realized: "It turns out that I have never understood what Taizu used to rely on to determine the world, and it turned out that there was such an important thing as an auxiliary. ”
Cao Shi slowly revealed his killer feature: "Diance not only made a contribution to the stability of my Han family, but also laid the foundation of all the legal bureaucratic systems of my Han system, on the basis of the Qin law, Xiao He, Shusun Tong repaired the Han system, may I ask Wang Shaofu, if the Qin law is tyrannical, then the Han inherits the Qin system, what should it be?" ”
"That's right! The Qin law is strict, so is the Han Cheng Qin system also very harsh? "Almost at the same time, everyone thought about it.
Wang Zang's face was defeated, he took two steps back and staggered down, the Han Cheng Qin system is a well-known truth in the world, the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven are from ancient times, if Qin is destroyed by the strict Qin law, where is the Han family?
Cao Shi retorted: "Jia Yi's "On the Passage of Qin" uses a lot of exaggerated rhetoric, such as not believing in meritorious heroes, not being close to the people, but not knowing that the tyrannical King of Qin has not killed a meritorious minister, once treated the cloth cloth and the lieutenant of the cloth, and reused the young and reckless Li Xin, even if he destroyed Chu and returned defeated, there was no punishment, if the King of Qin was tyrannical, it would not make sense, hearsay is actually the biggest fault of your Confucian students, and you can't affirm the merits of others on a case-by-case basis, and blindly smear without falsely stating it is your heart is not right. ”
At this moment, Wang Zang is already dumbfounded, he has been educated for decades to emphasize the word "benevolence and propriety", and when he attacks Cao with the great benevolence and righteousness of his brain, he will only fall into his trap, and he will sit on the table of improper mental scheming.
Liu Che couldn't help urging and said, "Doctor Taizhong quickly said why Tyranny Qin perished and why it was called Tyranny Qin." ”
Cao Shi said: "There is also a correct place in the "Treatise on the Passage of Qin", Qin died because of the unstable foundation and the righteousness was not established, and the hatred of the old people of the Six Kingdoms for the destruction of the country is still fresh in their memories, and there is a famous Chu Although the three households of Chu will die in Qin, I think the six countries at that time had a similar oath, but I waited for the Chu people to seize the world and became the most famous, saying that the tyrannical Qin was because the King of Qin invaded the Six Kingdoms for no reason, and the Six Kingdoms were especially Chu and Qi were the most resentful. ”
The state of Chu was wronged by the state of Qin very early, and the king of Chu Huai was deceived several times in a row, and was deceived to Xianyang until he sent the body back after his death, and the people of Chu were deeply ashamed until they were destroyed by Qin, and they still gritted their teeth, hating the treachery of the Qin people.
The situation of Qi is similar, the king of Qi and the prince were called the two emperors of the east and west, and the alliance with Qin at the end of the Warring States period thought that it would not be destroyed, but I didn't expect that Qin Wangzheng had no intention of letting go of his allies, and finally completely erased Qi from the map, and the king of Qi was also starved to death.
These two are different from the three Jin Dynasty and the Qin State all the year round to have the intention of surrender, but also different from the Yan State is located in a remote barren land, Qi Chu is the Spring and Autumn Period once hegemonically dominated the overlord state, so the two countries have the strongest hatred for the destruction of the country, so there is a saying that the tyranny of Qin destroyed the country for no reason.
The prince was fascinated by listening at the time, shaking his head from time to time very happily, and even Han Yan's good brother Gongsun He couldn't help but change his opinion, and looked at this Taizhong doctor who was younger than himself.
At this time, I only heard him say: "Although Qin Wangzheng can be called a Ming monarch, but the princes are orthodox three generations ago, the holy monarch Yao Shun hangs down and rules the world, there are also tribal princes scattered on both sides of the river (Yellow River), the king of Qin has broken thousands of years of tradition by killing and unifying the world by force, and the remnants of the six countries have a hatred for Qin, coupled with the sudden death of the king of Qin and the right of the eunuchs to exercise the right to dictatorship, Qin II and the traitorous ministers and the party will kill the prince and punish the generals, and the people who are perverse and perverse to the people.
So the remnants of the six countries who were boiling could not hold it back, so they rose up to destroy the violent Qin and return the homeland of the six countries, so there was an agreement of the righteous emperor that the first to enter the customs was the king, and Xiang Yu swore that he would seal the kings by himself and make the world dissatisfied, and the assassination of the righteous emperor by killing the people of Qin was a move to lose the world, so Taizu waved his troops east to Dingding the world. ”
Liu Che listened to it like waking up from a dream, and sighed for a long time: "It turns out that there are so many reasons for Qin to destroy Han Xing, it seems that the origin of the meritorious heroes is also beneficial, speaking of the pre-Qin allusions are clear, it is worthy of Pingyang Yihou (Cao Shen), the young master is unwell today, go back and rest early!" ”
"Whoa!" Wang Zang blushed and retreated, being reprimanded by the prince in front of him was regarded as a great insult by him, and the hatred for Cao Shi in his heart became even stronger.
The invisible confrontation between words is more terrifying than the fight of Ming Daoming, the young chamberlain's face was white and frightened, he was really afraid of Cao Shi's eagle-like gaze, that gaze fell on Han Yan and was repulsed, Wang Zang was reprimanded again, they were very worried that it would fall on them.
Liu Che turned to Cao Shi and asked: "Doctor Taizhong thinks that Limingtang, why is it not feasible to change the color of the service?" Although there are errors in what Wang Zang said, I think these articles are still very meaningful. ”
"The minister asks His Highness to atone for his sins, dare to ask His Highness a question, and then ask the waiter to avoid it, so as not to leak out the conversation at will." Cao Shi made a big show and solemn matter, which made several princes hiding in the corner very embarrassed.
Several of the housekeepers knelt down on the spot and cried: "Your Highness! Doctor Taizhong has something to say to his face, in broad daylight, no one in the forbidden province will leak secrets at will, why should he avoid us and other observers? ”
Liu Che waved his hand and scolded loudly, and the attendants and housekeepers had no choice but to retreat.
After everyone retreated, Cao Shiji confessed: "Since the Han Xing, there have been four generations of the Son of Heaven in the third generation, and Emperor Xiaohui is the early death of the Empress Gao, not counting, just Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizongwen and the current Son of Heaven, which of these three lords has the best strategy for governing the country and controlling the government." ”
Liu Che suddenly lowered his face and was displeased: "It is a felony to talk about the Son of Heaven in vain, isn't it that Doctor Taizhong is so stupid that he forgets that his son can't discuss his father?" ”
Cao Shi did not admit his guilt without saying a word, implying that he pleaded guilty and obeyed the law, and if the prince was unhappy, he would be arrested and interrogated, of course, there was no need to think about the policy of state affairs.
"Humph! Even if you have a word, you will forgive your sins, but this time you will not do it again. Liu Che pretended to hum and chirp for a long time as if he was very angry, and only after a long time did he say: "Emperor Taizu Gao has the highest merit, Emperor Taizong Wen has the best governance of the country, and his father inherits Taizong's ambition, can you be satisfied now?" Be clear about what you need to say. ”
"Your Highness has played tricks, and what you say is not true!"
For the prince to play a little clever, Cao Shi also looked helpless: "Taizu's policy of governing the country is to rule by doing nothing, dividing the princes and kings to defend the Quartet, and the kings with different surnames in the world are cleared and killed, and the white horse alliance swears to seal the princes to protect Guanzhong, and the princes of the world are like commanders, even if the annual war does not affect the people's recuperation, and governing the country is also the first in the world."
The Northern Expedition of the Xiongnu accidentally fell into the siege of Baideng, and the ferocity and brutality of Mao Dun Shan Yu only surrounded the Han army, until Chen Ping bribed the Xiongnu clan to let the Huns retreat. If the Huns were afraid of the strength of our Han army, and were worried that they would lose both sides if they were desperate to kill the Han army, why waste time surrounding the army in Baishan Mountain, Emperor Taizu returned to heaven, and the Han generals would no longer dare to attack the Xiongnu, which shows the gap between the top and bottom. ”
Liu Che shook his head after hearing it: "No! Taizong ruled the country at the top, exempted from servitude and rest for the people, and reduced the land tax to thirty taxes in the Weiyang Palace, and all the people called Taizong a virtuous monarch, you are wrong. ”
"Haven't Your Highness realized that Taizong to the Holy Son of Heaven has been doing one thing to weaken the power of the world and achieve the goal of monopolizing power? Jia Yi was the first to offer a strategy to cut the domain, and he was appointed by Chao Wrong to inherit it, and I waited for the princes to weaken Jia Yi's plan, and finally weakened the power of Taizu to defend the Han family, His Royal Highness thought that there were still people left in the court? ”
Liu Che snorted very unhappily: "Of course it's a virtuous general." ”
"Aren't Li Si and Yin Tong capable ministers? Isn't Zhao Gao a confidant? Isn't Wang Li a famous general? Qin Shi Huang is so wise, how can he stop the greed of the ministers and eunuchs, Emperor Taizu Gao saw the county system of the whole line, and the Son of Heaven lacked the strength to rely on, so did he seal the princes of the world? His Royal Highness is familiar with history and should know the allusions of the three Huan of the Lu State, the three families of the Jin, and the Tian Dynasty, the Qing clan is too strong, the monarchy declines, and it is as strong as the Qin Wangzheng who rules the world and sets the world to the top. ”
Liu Che was silent, he still disagreed with Cao Shi's point of view in his heart, and always unconsciously leaned towards the centralized dictatorship, the innate power of human beings will not fade lightly, but he will not find a good way to refute it for a while.

ps: Han Gaozu, the era of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty did not madly smear Qin Shi Huang, since the era of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty produced a rare genius Jia Yi, Qin Shi Huang has been completely characterized as a tyrant template, and only Xia Wei and Shang can match, in fact, the brutal Qin Shi Huang is less than one-tenth of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years.
