After the end of the imperial ceremony, Qingji feasted the ministers and doctors of the court inside and outside the Funing Palace.

This grand palace night banquet is destined not to be simple.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Uncle Cheng, who was slightly drunk, rolled his eyes for a moment, so he came to the red carpet, knelt down towards Qingji, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"When he was in Wu, the land was only a few hundred miles, and His Majesty was full of gods and saints, pacifying the sea, banishing the barbarians, and the sun and the moon shone. With the princes as the counties, everyone is at ease, and there is no trouble of war, and it will be passed on for eternity. Since ancient times, it has not been as good as His Majesty's virtue!"

Bo Biao sang the praises of Qingji, which made Qingji a little fluttery for a while.

As the so-called sedan chair carries people, who doesn't like to listen to their flattering words?

However, before Qingji could be happy, Prime Minister Kong Qiu stood up very inopportunely, and said to Qingji: "Your Majesty, the minister Wenyin, the king of Zhou, Chitose, is a meritorious man of the son, and he is a branch assistant."

"Now Your Majesty has the sea, and the children are horsemen, and there are ministers of Sanhuan and Liuqing, and there is no help, how can you save each other?"

"Those who can last a long time without learning from the past are unheard of. Now Bo is facing the fault of His Majesty again, and he is not a loyal minister."

「……」

What Kong Qiu said was not only attacking Bo Biao's flattery and jealousy, but also led to a very sensitive topic-

Shigu?

Shi Jin?

Will the state of Wu continue to implement the county system, or will it be divided into feudal feudal areas like the Zhou Dynasty?

Qingji remained silent, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, what do you think Kong Qiu said?"

"What Prime Minister Zuo said, Da Miao also!"

Deng Xi, who worshiped the right prime minister, immediately stood up and bowed to Qingji: "Your Majesty, the five emperors do not return to each other, and the three generations do not attack each other, each with its own rule, not the opposite, and the times change."

"Your Majesty's great cause and eternal achievements are not known to fools."

"And Qiu Yan is a matter of three generations, how can it be enough? At different times, the princes are competing with each other, and they are recruiting to study."

"Today's decree has been made, the law is one, Li Shu is in charge of the family, and the scholar is to study the law to dispel the ban."

"Today's beings don't learn from the present but learn from the past, so that they are not in the present world, and they will confuse the Qiantou."

"Minister, the right prime minister analyzes the dead words: the ancients are scattered in the world, Mo can be one, it is made by the princes, the words are all ancient to harm the present, the false words are chaotic, people are good at their private learning, and they are established by non-superiors!"

"Now the emperor has the world, don't decide one in black and white."

"When people hear the order, they will discuss it according to their learning, and if they enter, they will discuss it in the streets, and if they praise the master, they will take it as their name, and they will take it as high, and they will lead the group to slander!"

"If this is forbidden, the main power will descend to the top, and the party will become the bottom. Therefore, the minister thought that the ban would make Confucianism dare not rap and slander the state government!"

"Shhh

When the ministers and doctors heard Deng Xi's statement, they couldn't help but gasp and were shocked.

Deng Xi was even more ruthless, directly using the topic to play and accuse the Confucian scholars of criticizing national politics.

As early as a few years ago, the Legalists headed by Deng Xi and the Confucians headed by Confucius began to pinch each other, and they couldn't see each other.

The five major scholars of Wu are: Confucianism, Law, Taoism, Names, and Soldiers.

Those who prevail in the government and the opposition are none other than Confucianism and Legalism.

The scholars of these two schools often quarreled and criticized each other's wrongs.

For these things, Qingji is in his eyes, but he has always ignored them.

"Deng Xi, how to ban such incidents?"

"Your Majesty, please ask the historian to burn all the books that are not Wu Ji. If you are not a doctor, you will dare to have Tibetan poems, books, and hundreds of languages in the world, and you will keep them and burn them!"

Deng Xi Zhengse said: "There are those who dare to speak poetry and books to abandon the market. And those who are not of the past and not the present, and those who do not raise it when they see it are guilty of the same sin."

"The order is not to burn for thirty days, and it will be a city. Those who do not go, medicine divination and tree planting

The Book of Books. If you want to learn the law, take the officials as your teacher!"

「……」

Book burning?

Qingji fell into deep thought for a while.

"Deng Xi! How dare you say such a misleading remark to the country and the people?"

Kong Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty has already set up official schools in various places before, and has opened up a wide range of views to allow scholars to discuss politics, how dare you advocate such a rebellious thing with Your Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty said in his early years that throughout his life: to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations!"

"If I burn books, how can I continue to learn from the saints? As for the idea of establishing a heart, establishing a destiny, and opening up peace, it is even more nonsense!"

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hand and said, "I, don't do this."

"Your Majesty......"

"Don't talk about it again!"

"No."

Seeing Qingji's insistence, Deng Xi could only sigh helplessly.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang burned books in order to control thoughts, or to unify thoughts.

But there is no limit to the idea of such a thing, and the more you try to suppress it, the more it will be backlashed.

In view of this, Qingji has long been "rotten", and even opened up his views widely, allowing scholars to have the right to discuss politics.

Kong Qiu continued to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with the national conditions of my Great Wu, we should still implement the sub-feudal system and the parallel system of counties and states!"

"Thanks to the divine power of Your Majesty, my Wu Kingdom has been devoured from a small southeastern country with a territory of hundreds of miles, and has achieved a unified dynasty!"

"However, there is no peace at home and abroad! Fulongxi, Yuyang, Dai, and even the Central Plains, the hearts of the people have not yet been attached, and there is fear of a rebellion!"

"For this reason, Your Majesty should follow the example of ancient times, divide the sons or meritorious heroes to establish a country there, and establish a feudal state!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhisu Neishi Zeng pointed out and said, "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zuo said is extremely true!"

"In the era of the Yellow Emperor, the princes and guests came from Xian, Xianzun Xuanyuan was the Son of Heaven, and the Yellow Emperor placed the left and right eunuchs and imprisoned all countries. From Tang and Yu to Zhou, the emperors and princes divided and ruled!"

"This will greatly consolidate the rule of my Great Wu!"

"According to the history of Zhisu, Da Miao!"

Deng Xi retorted, "The etiquette and education advocated by Confucianism have long been outdated and out of date. After King Wu conquered the world on behalf of the merchants, the Zhou family wantonly divided his sons and heroes into princes, what was the result?"

"Time has changed, people's hearts have changed, the princes no longer obey the orders of Zhou Tianzi, they have attacked each other, and wars have continued, resulting in the destruction of lives and mourning."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty was born, and he swept away the nations, and made the sea one family."

"Now you are instigating Your Majesty to split the territory and make your sons and meritorious heroes feudal and state-building, what is your intention?"

"Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Isn't it that the unfortunate things that happened to the Zhou royal family happened in my Great Wu?"

[In view of the general environment,

"Why the Zhou family perished, the second and third sons all know it!"

In Deng Xi's view, the restoration of the feudal system advocated by Confucian ministers such as Confucius and Zeng Dian is completely turning history backwards.

Let Wu repeat the mistakes of the Zhou royal family!
