Chapter 043: No One Can Affect the Eldest Son (Plus Change)
"Qin II...... The eldest son! Fu Sheng blurted out.
Chun Yuyue has said it to this point, if Fu Sheng still doesn't realize it, then he is not a nerd, he is a fool.
"Yes, yes."
Chun Yuyue nodded, and his face unconsciously felt a hint of self-satisfaction.
He picked up the teacup, which was no longer hot from the hot water, and took a sip of it as if he were tasting some fine wine.
"Why do I need to fight with Legalism in the court, and not give in to each other in the battle for orthodox doctrine. In this life, what about giving way to the Legalists? Just stabilize the status of the eldest son, and stay until a few decades later, Qin has the second, and the sons of a hundred schools of thought, only Confucianism is the only one! ”
Fu Sheng looked at Chun Yuyue who was talking eloquently, and felt very strange, as if he was meeting Chun Yuyue for the first time.
At a time when all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought were setting their sights on the current world, the long-time friend in front of him actually set his sights on the next life!
"Then why do you still lead your protégés and argue with the Dharma students?" Fu Sheng is puzzled.
Since Chun Yuyue entered the court of the Qin State, he often led Confucian scholars to clash with Fa Sheng.
The last conflict was a great drought in the commercial land, and the first emperor asked the ministers.
Confucian scholars believed that in the event of such a natural disaster, they should be lenient to the people of the merchant land, reduce or exempt local taxes, and let the surrounding counties open warehouses for grain.
Fa Sheng objected: Qin ruled the country by law, and the law cannot be changed! If the tax is changed because of the great drought in commercial land, and the law loses its deterrent effect, then the Qin state will be destroyed. The local people can be conscripted into the army, and there is no tax on the soldiers. In this way, the people survived, the strength of the army was expanded, and the prestige of the law was not undermined.
In fact, many natural disasters in the history of the Qin State were dealt with in accordance with what the Fa students said, and the refugees were incorporated into the army.
Because of the strategy of ploughing and warfare, the Qin State is a soldier and a soldier when he gets off the horse, and it can be said that all the people are soldiers.
Therefore, most of the time, the Qin State will also use this to launch foreign wars and divert domestic contradictions.
If we win, then we will have food, land, everything.
If it loses, first of all, the Qin State, which has a military merit of the twentieth level, rarely loses. Secondly, if you really lose, it means defeat. If you are defeated, you will die, and when you die, you will not need food.
The Confucian scholars also knew the traditions of the Qin State, and when they were about to die down, Chun Yuyue stood up.
"Now that there is no war in the four seas, what is the use of being like many soldiers? Why don't you be benevolent to the world, educate all the people, and use this benevolent government to collect the hearts of the people of the six countries! ”
The boss started a group, and the rest of the Confucian students were like chicken blood.
From the great drought of commercial land to the benevolent person as the king, you say a word to me in the court.
Naturally, the students are reluctant to do so—what else do you need the law to do if you play the game of benevolence for the king and compassion for the people? What else do you want my Legalist to do? Doesn't this smash the field?
So they have quoted scriptures and classics, from Qin Xiaogong to strengthen the country with law, to King Qin Huiwen's law-abiding exile, and then to the rule of law Qin Guolu is not dusty, and the combat power is far superior to that of other countries, and the world is unified.
In Fu Sheng's view at that time, this was Chun Yuyue's challenge to the Legalists again, and the impact on the orthodox status of the Qin State.
But today, Fu Sheng heard from Chun Yu Yue's mouth: Chun Yu Yue had already given up leading Confucianism back to the status of orthodoxy during the reign of the First Emperor.
Fu Sheng didn't understand.
Since you have given up, why do you still lead your protégés to fight against the Legalists?
"One is the heart of His Majesty, and the other is the heart of the eldest son of An."
Chun Yuyue patiently explained, "Your Majesty is suspicious, I led my protégés to fight with the Legalists, just to let Your Majesty know, and the purpose of my Confucianism is to show the position of learning." And the ups and downs of hundreds of schools are all in the mind of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will despise us even more. There is a touch of extremism in the temperament of the eldest son, if my Confucianism is silent in the court, which is contrary to teaching him Confucianism, the eldest son will be disappointed and will no longer believe in my Confucianism. ”
After listening to Chun Yuyue's explanation, Fu Sheng understood, and then gave birth to new questions.
"The day before yesterday, you wanted the eldest son to contradict Your Majesty, but why?"
Chun Yuyue was silent for a long time, just when Fu Sheng thought that Chun Yuyue would not answer this question.
Chun Yuyue smiled bitterly and said bitterly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, the eldest son is more like a Confucian protégé than me."
"What the eldest son said is not your plan!" Fu Sheng exclaimed in a low voice.
"Naturally not! The eldest son is loved by the ministers, and if there is no accident, he will be the next emperor of Qin. Since I have decided to fight for Qin II, how can I want the eldest son to risk his life at this moment? If it weren't for the eldest son's willfulness, why would I be angry with Your Majesty today for Chang'anjun's erection! ”
Chun Yuyue drank a glass of water angrily, and now he felt extremely ashamed when he thought back to what he had done in the court.
Fu Sheng said: "Born ignorant, Brother Chun Yu excused the erection in the court today, how can he have anything to do with the eldest son?"
Chun Yuyue said: "Your Majesty exiled the eldest son, Wang Xuan, Kui Xiang, the second prime minister pleaded for mercy but could not get it. The eldest son was supposed to set off yesterday, but today the eldest son appeared in the court and sat next to the shaft. It can be seen that the one who changes His Majesty's mind is undoubtedly the shaft. ”
"I am also in a hurry to speak for that erector, and I hope that he will see what I am doing and save the eldest son. You only heard that I was ordered by His Majesty to learn the Analects from that erector, but you didn't hear that Your Majesty wanted me to take my eldest son to study. As long as I obey the order, the eldest son does not have to leave Xianyang! ”
Fu Sheng suddenly realized.
Only then did I understand why Chun Yuyue promised to learn the "Analects" with Ying Cheng Chan on the front foot, and sent four Confucian students to set up for Ying Cheng Chan on the back foot.
Chun Yuyue's primary purpose is to keep the eldest son in Xianyang, and for this reason, he can first undertake the new "Analects" edited by Ying Chengcheng.
In fact, Chun Yuyue did not approve of Ying Chengyue's "Analects".
Therefore, after the primary goal is achieved, he will naturally find a way to save the reputation of Confucianism.
"Then aren't you afraid of Your Majesty's condemnation?" Fu Sheng worried.
wanted Chun Yuyue to take Ying Fusu to learn the "Analects" with Ying Cheng, but the first emperor complained in person.
This matter was destroyed by Chun Yuyue, and in a sense, this is already a disobedience to the decree.
Chun Yuyue waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty won't care." The day before yesterday, the eldest son contradicted His Majesty, and I am the teacher of the eldest son, and Your Majesty will definitely think that this is the influence of Confucianism on the eldest son. Your Majesty's actions today are intended to destroy my inner image of the eldest son, and to destroy the inner image of Confucianism in the eldest son. The moment I answered, His Majesty's purpose had been achieved. Your Majesty has read through hundreds of books, how can you believe that nonsense? ”
Seeing that Fu Sheng was a little anxious, Chun Yuyue handed Fu Sheng a glass of water, smiled, and said, "Brother Fu wants to ask the eldest son?"
Fu Sheng nodded violently, took the water cup handed over by Chun Yuyue and drank it all, pressing his somewhat messy heart.
His Majesty's goal was achieved, and Confucianism no longer held a high position in the heart of the eldest son.
When the eldest son succeeded to the throne, Confucianism would still not become the mainstream doctrine of the Qin State.
More than ten years of planning were ruined, how could Brother Chun Yu still laugh?
Fu Sheng couldn't laugh at all, he was about to die.
"Brother Fu remember what I said earlier?"
Chun Yuyue's expression was very complicated.
"The eldest son is more like a Confucian protégé than me. The fact that the eldest son was able to confront His Majesty the day before yesterday means that the status of Confucianism in the eldest son's heart has been out of the scope of personal influence. My personal behavior is detached from Confucianism, which will make the eldest son uncomfortable for a while. ”
"But it won't be long before the eldest son will be firm in his faith again. Now no matter how others say and behave, it will not affect the eldest son. As long as the eldest son stays in Xianyang, you and I will wait with peace of mind. The day of the second reign of Qin is the day when my Confucianism returns to the world! ”
