Chapter 131: Book Burning, Don't Live!

It is not said that Confucianism criticizes, but to talk about the world is to expand the scope.

Just if I want to play right, it is for our side to say that Confucianism is forbidden, and I want to continue to expand.

"Those who can criticize the court in the world are all children of hundreds of families."

Lees chanted loudly, he had figured it out.

The mind of the First Emperor, as Ying Chengcheng said, don't think too much, just do what the First Emperor tells you to do.

Because he thought about it too much, he couldn't see through the deep meaning behind the First Emperor.

Just like today, Li Si initially thought it was a catastrophe of Confucianism, and then thought that the first emperor was teaching his son, but now he sees that the first emperor is not only targeting Confucianism, but also targeting the hundred schools of thought.

"Zuo Xiang's words are ridiculous, only Chun Yuyue and Confucianism are admonished, why is his family evil?"

The fire, which was originally only burning on Confucianism, was inexplicably led to the hundred schools by the First Emperor and Li Si.

The ministers sat less stable than before, and one of them instantly stood upright to refute Li Si.

Ying Fusu wanted to defend Confucianism, but Ying Chengsu put one hand around his neck and the other hand sealed his eight veins of Qi Jing with internal force to prevent him from speaking.

"Let's go for a walk and drink with my uncle."

As he spoke, he hugged the incapacitated Ying Fusu back to his original seat.

As soon as Ying Cheng's face changed, he had already gotten up and walked towards Ying Fu Su, so that he could stop his eldest nephew in time.

"Today there is only Confucianism, what about the past? The Marquis of Zongheng said that His Majesty was not filial, and the Captain of the State said that His Majesty should not be rich and noble. ”

The Vertical and Horizontal Hou was already gone, but the national captain Wei Yu was still sitting firmly in the Xuanyao Palace.

Li Si fired a cannon at Wei Yu, if Wei Yu, who was the first person in the military of Great Qin, had no temper at all, then he would not be able to mix up in a warlike and war-loving country like Great Qin.

Under the sideways gaze of the ministers, even Wei Yi, who had not entered the water in the dispute between the feudal system and the county system, did not get up.

Sitting on the seat, he said with a gloomy face: "This has been said for eight years, and the old man did not understand His Majesty at that time, and his words were exaggerated. Zuo Xiangruo insisted on turning over the old things, but he still remembered that you were a guest of Lu Buwei's rebel seat. ”

In the face of Wei Yi's counterattack, Li Si said unhurriedly: "Yes." Si did not recognize LΓΌ Buwei's people, and it was true to worship under his door. The national lieutenant did not recognize His Majesty's open-mindedness, and it is true to say that His Majesty is narrow-minded. ”

Li Si stood behind His Majesty, and he had nothing to fear when he said this, but the old man couldn't.

To entangle with it is to entangle with His Majesty, and it cannot be continued.

Wei Yu's eyes closed slightly, nodded and sighed softly: "It's a true thing, it's also a wrong thing, and it's a regret in the old man's life."

Li Si's main purpose in provoking Wei Yu was to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and he didn't want to argue with Qin Chen one after another on the matter of "a hundred schools of thought criticized the court".

The first lieutenant in martial arts is not arguing, what do you have to argue with Si, the prime minister who is the first in civil affairs?

The effect was also expected by Lis.

The ministers were really silent, and no one interrupted him on this issue.

"Or Confucianism, or Mosheng, or Mingsheng, or Fasheng, etc. For example, many people can speak of a hundred families, and they can also be said to be people who read. Xianyang is like this, what is the world like? Within three days of leaving Xianyang, there were scholars who used their knowledge to argue about right and wrong. thinks that he is different from ordinary people by heart, and he is indiscriminately criticized in and out. ”

"Qin Lu didn't write that he was convicted for his words, and Zuo Xiang wanted to set this precedent, so that the people of the world would not be able to say anything?"

Qin Chen stood up and interrupted Li Si's words.

He was wearing a doctor's gown and was Cui Guang, a doctor of Taoism.

The Taoist will go with the flow, and the king will rule by doing nothing.

To put it simply, the farmer planted the land, the butcher killed the pig, and the pianist talked about the piano.

As long as everyone in the world does their duty, it will be a peaceful and prosperous world.

As long as the king does nothing, the world can be governed, and the person who implements it is Shun of the Five Emperors.

Li Si's argument about right and wrong based on what he has learned is wrong in Cui Guang's view, and it is not in line with Taoist philosophy.

Scholars read for the sake of reason, and not allowing readers to discuss these things is like not allowing farmers to cultivate the land, which is contrary to nature.

"Words are not guilty, but demagoguery is guilty. These scholars only said that they were dissatisfied in Xianyang and did not dare to mess around, but when they arrived in the land of the Six Kingdoms, they took the lead in creating rumors and denying Qin Zheng. He also opened a school and taught his students privately with his distorted thoughts, causing all parts of the Six Kingdoms to still disobey our Great Qin, and bandits rose everywhere. So, but what Dr. Choi would like to see? ”

Tang Bing, who is also a doctor of Taoism, pulled Cui Guang, who was going to continue to speak, back to his seat.

Cui Guang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Although Li Si's words are clearly trapped, he is blocking Cui Guang's mouth and asking Cui Guang not to answer his willingness, but his Cui Guang's knowledge is not fake, and he has a way to answer it.

Tang Bing said in a low voice: "Today, Li Siyan said that it is natural, like water flowing to a low place, and fish swimming in the water. Brother Cui stopped him with his body, blocking the current and throwing fish ashore, which is not in line with Taoist principles. ”

Cui Guang thought lightly, glanced at the First Emperor who returned to the main seat, and sighed lightly: "Brother Tang's words are very good, and I haven't solved it."

Cui Guang sat down again after saying a word, talked with Tang Bing for a few words and didn't stand up, and the ministers all looked at it.

The ministers would not think that Cui Guang was afraid of Li Si, or defeated Li Si - if Li Si could defeat a big family in one round, he would be so weak that he quickly gave up the title of Marquis of Zongheng.

But the ministers would think that there must be something wrong with this, and they would not dare to act rashly on this issue.

Wei Yi is the first person in my Great Qin military, Cui Guang and Tang Bing are all world-famous Taoist representatives.

Even the three of them don't want to continue arguing with Li Si, but want to wait, so I'm qualified enough?

"Scholars taught scriptures and disseminated ideas as a way to rebel against and criticize the decrees of the Great Qin, and rule became the norm. These scholars use the past and the present to confuse the public, such an illegal thing, even the court and the princes have taken it as the norm. What's this? Not either! ”

"The root cause of all this is that the six countries have just been reunified, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. Academics are too free, ideas are not unified, and the social atmosphere is poor. If this continues, if it is not stopped, His Majesty's prestige will decline, and the rebel forces will become larger, destroying the stability of the Qin State. ”

Not all Qin ministers judged the situation, and many Qin ministers wanted to stand up and refute when Li Siyan was speaking.

Most of them were grabbed by their friends as soon as they made a move, and the most they stood up were only half of their bodies, and they were dragged back to their seats by their friends.

The more Li Si discussed, the more obvious the expression of expectation on the face of the First Emperor became.

The ministers are not blind, they can all see.

No matter how much they disagree with Lees's remarks, they must let Lees finish his words.

Because the First Emperor wanted to hear it.

With the acquiescence of the First Emperor, Li Si said in the Xuanyao Hall that the scholars of the tea time criticized the court for what serious consequences it would bring to Daqin, and the disadvantages caused by opening their minds to Daqin.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Therefore, the minister Li Si asked the historian to burn all the history books that were not the affairs of the Qin State. There are hundreds of books such as "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Mozi", "Gongsun Tzu" and so on, all of which are sent to the county guard, burned at the county order, and only the books of medicine, divination, and agriculture are passed on to the world. Except for the government, all localities are not allowed to hold lectures without permission, and violators will be killed. ”

After speaking, Li Si half-bowed.

The attitude is very sincere and pious.

His attitude towards the First Emperor was like that of a believer to a god he served.

The First Emperor nodded, and said with deep sympathy: "What Li Si said is very satisfying. If the princes have no objections, they will do what Li Si said. Li Si, you and Wang Juan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together. ”

"The minister has objections."

Wang Juan and Li Si originally had disagreements on politics, and now they heard Li Si admonish this kind of thing that is enemy of people who are literate in the world.

After Li Si finished speaking, he immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty has the majesty of Your Majesty, and the order of the court can be slowly established and improved, why burn all the books?" There are no books in the world, so how will I, the people of Great Qin, deal with themselves? How to slim down? How to settle the country for Your Majesty? ”

Li Si immediately replied.

"You can't do it without a book? The right minister may wish to visit the people and see how many people have a book. If you don't study, you can't settle the country? I am a great Qin Ruishi, invincible, how many of them are literate and hyphenated? Self-cultivation relies on the law, and it relies on the Qin law to stipulate what I can and can't do in Qin, and what is the matter with the book? In addition, whether the right minister is old or not can not hear clearly, what Si said is not to burn all the books in the world, but to leave books such as medicine, divination, and farming for the people to learn and develop. Is there anything wrong with what Si said? ”

With Wang Juan taking the lead, Li Si had finished speaking his thoughts, and one after another Qin Chen began to attack Li Si continuously.

From the day when the First Emperor of the Xianyang Palace did not pursue Kui's fault, the ministers knew that the First Emperor was not averse to discussions, but to selfish discussions.

According to what Zuo Xiang said, isn't it true that people in the world are illiterate? What is the use of the doctor, divination, and agricultural books? Who declares Qin Law? Who will assert the truth of Qin Law? ”

Li Si smiled and said, "This is completely different from your thoughts. It is precisely because the world is illiterate that the only books are in the doctor's office. If the people want to study medicine, divination, agricultural books, know the geometry of the Qin law, and understand what the Qin law says, they must ask the government. Isn't this to enhance the prestige of the government and enhance the majesty of His Majesty? ”

Another Qin minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, I have a lot of people in the Great Qin, how can the officials teach them all?" What's more, books on medicine, divination, agriculture, etc., are all books that need to be studied intensively, and officials cannot learn them all. And the books that can survive to this day are all books that are of great benefit to the world, and burning them will cause dissatisfaction in the world and discourage the people. ”

Li Si replied: "Although there are tens of millions of books in the world, but there are very few people who are beneficial in the world. If the world's books exist, then the words, deeds and thoughts of the people in the world all exist, regardless of good or bad, good or evil, whether right or wrong, then the prestige of the court can survive, is this not because of small losses and big evil? ”

The courtiers continued to attack Li Si.

However, Li Si has experienced the baptism of the feudal system and the county system, and it is not the first time that he has been so inexperienced in this situation.

And the difference this time is that Li Si's remarks are correct in terms of the orthodox principles of the Qin State.

The reason why the people of the world hate the First Emperor and the reason why the Six Kingdoms are in turmoil is because they know too much.

For example, Zhao State, remembering the live burial of the Battle of Changping, and remembering the Battle of Handan, "Zhao people will never surrender to Qin", how could they have a good impression of Qin?

So how to solve it?

It would be nice if they couldn't remember.

Burn all the books and don't let them remember.

Not by words, not by books.

How long can you remember things from memory?

And this is the fundamental reason why the Qin State can be strong.

This was the case with Qin's policy of ploughing and warfare.

This is also an important idea in Shang Jun's book.

Why are most of the Qin court outsiders? Because the Qin State was not allowed to teach at all.

The way to play in the Qin State is to farm, fight, farm, and fight.

What do you teach? What do you want these people to read? If he is literate and sensible, doesn't he have thoughts? Wouldn't that just listen to the court? Isn't that easy to control?

What about the implementation of the court policy, can't all be reckless, right? Even if the Qin monarchs of all dynasties are kings, a king who is tired to death can't compete with the smart people in the world, right?

It's simple.

Recruitment.

I don't cultivate talents, so I can just poach talents from other countries?

Come on, come on, my Qin country is thirsty for talent.

As long as you come to my Qin country, the house, the land, the woman, the dignity, I will give you what you want.

What the six countries can give to you, my Qin State can give it to you, and what the six countries can't give, my Qin State can still give it!

And the more and more talents gathered, it is only for one generation, because Qin Guo itself has no soil for the birth of talents, and Qin State will not let you teach.

You can give you a house, you can give you a land, you can give a woman, but you remember one thing, don't play with me in any school or anything like that, I don't need you to train me talents.

This led to the fact that there were five generations of the Zhang family in South Korea, and what about the prime minister or Xiangbang of the Qin State? Not to mention the same family, there is no one who is out of the same door.

Shang Ying, Fan Ju, Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei, and the eight poles can't be beaten together.

There is no soil for the birth of talents, and the high treatment of Qin has always been and has never been saturated, so talents from all over the world have been running to Qin from generation to generation.

Then don't think that people in this era will be held back by ideas like national honor and disgrace.

Because what era is the Warring States? When LΓΌ Buwei did not capture the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were essentially the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The world respects the week.

The people of the world can actually be said to be Zhou people.

That's probably what the discussion means, and the feudal system is not intended to split the country.

Transnational service, in the eyes of the literati at that time, was equivalent to cross-provincial work, what is so unusual.

When Yingzi Chu decided to destroy Zhou, it was when he thought that the Qin State could swallow the world.

The Qin State implemented such a policy, developed its own martial arts, poached wisdom from other countries, and then wiped out all other countries.

Of course, there are drawbacks.

The downside is that there are not enough officials to control the turf.

If Qin's state-owned system talent training plan, then it is okay to directly transfer talents to be placed in the city laid, but he does not have it.

He has been digging the foot of the wall from generation to generation.

The normal solution is to divide the seal and manage it together.

The abnormal solution is to burn books, and everyone will not live.
