Above the main hall of the Qin Palace, the ministers were silent, and the face of the First Emperor was covered with frost.

Meng Cheng realized his biggest mistake, he should not think from a practical point of view, but from the perspective of the emperor.

But.

He didn't want to!

He was not only a son of Confucianism, but also a descendant of the Meng family.

His ancestor Mencius was a Confucian sage, who was after the second sage of Luokong, and even married the daughter of Luo.

Because Mencius's doctrine was too ungentlemanly, after absorbing the knowledge of righteousness, even Confucianism gradually rejected Mencius's doctrine.

But the office of Los Angeles has always supported it.

When Qin attacked Luo, he wanted to die with Luo.

But Luo Hou persuaded him away, saying that he was well-learned and of great use in the world, and should not die in vain in Zhaocheng.

He was a man who had lost his country, and he should have written a book in the mountains to talk about it, and he had died for the rest of his life.

But for the sake of the world and Confucianism, he still came to Xianyang and met the first emperor.

Facing the angry First Emperor, Meng Cheng was not afraid and said loudly: "Your Majesty."

The grass people have a question.

Are you going to be the emperor of the Qin people?

Or do you want to be the emperor of the world? ”

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Naturally, he is the emperor of the world.

More than ten years ago, I said, 'The widow is now the king of Qin, and will be the king of the world in the future'! ”

When Meng Cheng heard this, he immediately said: "You have been the King of Qin for more than 20 years, and you must know the Qin State very well.

But you have just become the emperor of the people of the world, and you don't know what the people of the world think, so you directly use the method of ruling the Qin people to rule the world.

Is this correct? ”

What the First Emperor had to do was to replace the will of the world with his own will.

This is the Emperor!

So the unhappiness parted, and the anger in the heart of the First Emperor had actually subsided.

But he thoroughly realized what a terrible thing Han Fei said about Confucianism and literature messing with the law.

Li Si came to the apse as a close minister of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor said softly: "Thousands of miles of territory, tens of millions of subjects, if it is so noisy, can the decree still be passed?"

I didn't argue with Meng Cheng, not because he was right, but because I found out that he missed Luo Guo too much and wanted me to kill him.

How many such people are there in the world?

These people of the Six Kingdoms miss their homeland in their hearts and can't integrate into Great Qin, how can the world of Great Qin be stable?

One day has never been seen before, and the first thing I want to do is to determine the official school, take my heart as my heart, and the rest are heresies.

I didn't want to do that, but now it seems like I have to.

Especially the country of Luo, it must be erased from the annals of history!

The history books of the Six Kingdoms were all burned, and without the history books, there would be no source, so that they could be Qin people in peace and stability.

No one in the world is allowed to talk about any matter related to the country of Luo, and all the words about Luo's in all the books of the hundred schools of thought have been deleted.

Not only Confucianism, but also those scholars who arbitrarily discuss the government are all detrimental to the Great Qin Dynasty and must be killed all.

All their books were received in Xianyang, and they were absolutely not allowed to circulate among the people, and those who dared to talk about it were also killed. ”

These words were murderous, but when the First Emperor said it, it was like killing a chicken and slaughtering a cow.

Li Si was stupid, he was radical enough, but he didn't expect the First Emperor to do this, and said, "Your Majesty, this ......"

The First Emperor sat down suddenly, and then said with a smile: "Aiqing, sit." ”

Li Si rarely saw the First Emperor so kind, and he knelt down at the bottom.

The First Emperor seemed to be recalling something, and said softly: "There are two kings in Bangzhou, King Wu and King Su.

King Wu is the king of the world, and his contribution is great.

But what kind of person is Su Wang?

Don't be afraid to put the image in your mind as far as you can. ”

Li Si hesitated: "King Su is naturally a saint, there is no one who can be compared with him throughout the ages, whether it is civil rule or martial arts, or virtue and knowledge, he is completely a celestial." ”

The First Emperor laughed when he heard this, Li Si was a little confused, and then he heard the First Emperor say: "Aiqing, what you said is not wrong, everyone in the world probably thinks so."

But you all ignore what King Su has done, Bai Qi is known as a human slaughter, killing millions of countries, but compared to King Su, he is simply a child.

In the past, King Su went on an expedition to the east, and the old clan of Yin Shang was gone, especially Jianxi, has there been such a cruel reckoning since ancient times?

Bang Zhou divided hundreds of vassal states in Shandong, isn't it strange why there are so many vacancies of land suitable for cultivation?

Because King Su was all killed, the entire tribe from top to bottom, old and young, women and children, there was no survivor.

Do you really think that King Su's preaching relied on Zhou Li?

But he takes up the sword to pacify the world, but whoever does not obey his decrees will die.

The Song State used the old customs of Yin Shang This is the most ridiculous thing, and the real old customs about Yin Shang have long been destroyed by King Su.

But the remnants of Yin Shang don't know, what do you ask Yin Shang, who else in this world can say?

This is how King Su used Zhou Li to unify his thoughts back then, and now I want to unify the thoughts of the Legalists again. ”

The words of the First Emperor were like a shock, and Li Si was completely speechless.

No one had ever looked at Su Wang's actions in this way, but these words made so much sense.

However, Li Si hesitated a little and said, "Your Majesty, King Su is like the sky!" ”

Li Si is also from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and he still believes more or less in his heart that King Su is really looking at the world from the sky.

The First Emperor smiled: "Aiqing still has to read more history."

Regardless of whether the gods of King Su are really in heaven as the Luo people say, King Su has never interfered in the world.

So far, it has been Luo's pretending to do the things of the king with the theory of destiny.

King Su and Luo's are very different, because King Su's name is a minister, but he is actually a king, while Luo's is a complete minister.

Looking at King Su's actions, there are no taboos, where is like Luo's, layers of restraints.

If King Su were in my place, he would definitely do the same thing as me, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with what I did. ”

Ji Zhao won't pay attention to the world all the time now, but if he hears the words of the First Emperor, he will probably still agree.

Because what the First Emperor is doing to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms now is far less cruel than the cruelty he trampled on the nobles of Yin Shang in the first place.

The First Emperor was right about one thing, Ji Zhao and Luo's are really different.

Compared with Luo's family, Ji Zhao is more selfish and pays more attention to the continuation of the family, but the education he allows Luo's descendants to receive is the responsibility of the world.

He hopes to be able to raise a family of philosophers from generation to generation.

If you can't do it, I hope that your children and grandchildren can do it, and Luo's has not disappointed him for so many years.

For thousands of years, apart from the continuation of the family, Ji Zhao hardly interfered in anything with Luo's.

And because the system blocks words, he didn't reveal any future to Luo's, and he completely relied on Luo's own hard work.

……

What happened above the main hall was kept secret by the top leaders of the entire Qin State.

The nascent Qin Dynasty was full of contradictions, and now it was forcibly suppressed by relying entirely on the prestige of the First Emperor.

Just a few days later, an edict that shocked the world came from Xianyang.

Countless officials walked out of the official office and began to arrest those who discussed the government in vain, not only Confucian scholars, but also the children of the Mo family who violated the law, and those warlocks who deceived the first emperor.

Meng Cheng didn't expect the First Emperor to be so simple, he tried his best to ask someone to send his disciples out of Xianyang, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he sat in Xianyang and waited for death.

As a result, hundreds of people were killed in Xianyang City, and no one dared to criticize the government anymore, and the implementation of various decrees immediately went much smoother.

Then the first emperor ordered the county to keep the county order, and burned all the history books of the six countries, leaving no volume.

At the same time, it is required that the people of the world, except for the books of medical divination and agriculture, shall not be kept, and all of them will be gathered in Xianyang.

After killing a group of people and burning a lot of books, the First Emperor issued an edict.

Whoever talks about the government in vain, kill!

But if the people secretly hide the book of Confucianism, Taoism and Mofa, kill!

In Xianyang, the Great Qin School Palace was set up, and the people with good names in the world served as the people, and the rest of the people were not allowed to give lectures, write books, or impart knowledge.

The head of the Great Qin Qian, if he wants to study, he must first make meritorious contributions, and then go to Xianyang City, with the approval of the emperor, before he can enter the school, and he can only study the law and become a clerk.

However, the First Emperor still retained the right to collect books in the homes of the nobles of the Qin State, after all, he was only relatively independent, and he was not a real only husband.

If the nobles of the Qin State were really allowed to hand over the collection of books as well, I am afraid that the whole world would immediately turn against it.

At the same time, the First Emperor began to toss the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who moved to Xianyang, and of course the promised fiefs were naturally all cancelled.

After all, even the heroes of the clan are not sealed, how can the descendants of the previous dynasty get the sealed land?

The First Emperor thought that in order to break the thoughts of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, it was necessary to completely abolish the offices of the Six Princes, so he all demoted them to the heads of Qian, and let these people go to build a mausoleum for him.

How could these nobles be able to withstand such heavy forced labor, and some of them died of illness directly on the way, and when the mausoleum is completed, I am afraid that there will be no living people.

For a while, the city of Xianyang was full of mourning, and other countries came to Xianyang at least after the defeat.

The nobles of the Qi State surrendered on their own initiative, and now thinking of what the King of Qi said before, they only feel remorseful.

The First Emperor also demanded that the officials in various places collect the weapons that were scattered among the people, and all of them should be transported to Xianyang City for destruction, especially in the places where the nobles of the Six Kingdoms once gathered, and they must not be allowed to get weapons again.

……

Luo Ling never imagined that such shocking news would come from Xianyang City again, of course he understood what the First Emperor was doing, but he never dreamed that the First Emperor would have such great courage.

Back then, King Su dared to do this because King Su killed all the opponents in the entire land of Zhuxia, and the rest were either barbarians or mixed with barbarians, such as Xu State, which was ostensibly in the Bangzhou system, but in fact it was an existence that was about to leave.

Luo Ling was shocked and angry: "If it weren't for the inheritance ring, how much would the cultural essence of this thousand years be lost?" ”

The history books of the Six Kingdoms that the First Emperor clearly wanted to burn will not be mentioned for the time being.

Those books of a hundred schools, countless magnificent thoughts, are the true essence.

Although the first emperor said that he would collect the books to Xianyang, they would definitely be damaged and lost in the process of collection, and even many officials would try to save trouble in the process and burn them directly, which was a very normal thing.

Luo Ling didn't believe that the First Emperor couldn't think of it, but he did it anyway.

Qiao Yun said hatefully: "What a single husband, a person's will, but he wants to replace the will of the people in the world, this is not what a king should do." ”

Luo Ling sighed: "Every king in this world has the possibility of becoming a single husband, this is the king!"

But like Qin Guo, everyone is a single husband, is it accidental?

This is because of the fault of Legalist thought!

Every king has infinite selfish desires, so the teaching of kings is to let them restrain their selfish desires, not to become a single husband, and if they can still have a trace of mercy for all the people in their hearts, then they are excellent kings. ”

Qiao Yun was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Family Master, what should I do now?" ”

Luo Ling touched the inheritance ring on his hand, and didn't panic at all, burn it, I still have a backup here after burning.

But those hundred disciples in Xianyang City, Luo Ling frowned and said, "You can send someone to Xianyang City, especially the Meng family, it will not be good if you suffer heavy losses."

However, be careful, don't expose the traces of the family, otherwise the First Emperor will definitely come to hunt down and kill again. ”

Qiao Yun should be, and then said: "The head of the family, the first emperor recently recruited conscription and military service on a large scale in the old land of Chu, and it seems that he is going to fight again.

There is also a possibility that the First Emperor wanted to conquer the gathering place of the Luo people, after all, these are people who are unwilling to be his subjects, and the First Emperor should hate them in his heart. ”

Hearing this, Luo Ling muttered: "If the First Emperor wants to conquer South Vietnam, then make way for him and conquer the barbarians, and the Luo clan must not hold back."

But if you want to attack the gathering place of the Luo people, I am afraid that the Qin army will suffer a big loss.

The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and it is not a city built on the plains like Zhaocheng, which is not dangerous to defend.

However, it is still necessary to contact as soon as possible, if the Qin army dares to come, let them die without a place to be buried. ”

————

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang was keenly aware of the existence of a huge ideological split within the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty was a new unified regime, and the existence of these heretical ideas could tear the entire dynasty apart at any time, so Qin Shi Huang adopted a series of measures to quickly unify the ideas within the entire Qin Dynasty under the central dynasty.

Judging from the results of later generations, this was a great progress, and a unified nation was gradually formed.

But in the process, a large number of books were destroyed, the history books of the Six Kingdoms were burned, and precious ancient books were lost, which cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, the Luoguo Office kept these books and did not throw them away when they fled, so we were able to see the magnificent pre-Qin era.

It has to be said that if the Luoguo Office had not preserved these books, the emperor Qin Shi Huang would have been far from the current historical evaluation. - "The Biography of Qin Shi Huang"

I still have a little energy today
