Chapter 496: The concubines intermarried
Li Si's voice fell, and a light laugh rang out in the hall. Qin Shi Huang looked at the impassioned Li Si, and his face stretched slightly.
The ministers of the Qin State, except for Zhao Tuo, belonged to Li Si who satisfied him the most. Zhao Tuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard it at this time.
Best Debater Lis! What a spear of the son, a shield of the attacker! You Confucian disciples, don't always talk about it
"Ancient and long-lasting",
"The Law of the First King", often praise the rule of three generations, is it called the United States? In the previous dispute over the division of counties and counties, these people took the Xia Shang Dynasty as an example, but now they are being attacked head-on by Li Si using this method.
Qi Weibi and the others suddenly turned red. The corners of Chun Yuyue's mouth twitched. Xia Shang or Zhou, which is more ancient, this answer is obvious.
Zhou Qingchen whispered on the side: "Shut up, Tingwei spoke, this matter is no longer over." Chun Yuyue glared at him, stiffened his neck and said: "Tingwei's words are wrong, although our words are ancient and long-lasting. However, if there is a problem with the system of substitution, and the system of saints is improved in later generations, it is also a beautiful thing. ”
"Xia, Shang with the same surname marriage, is not a good law, the so-called men and women with the same surname, their birth is not fan, so there is a Zhou metric ceremony, absolutely this vulgar, in order to determine the people, do not beasts. Therefore, although we say that we are ancient teachers, we should also learn the methods of ancient sages, not learn ancient vices! "Double standard!
Zhao Tuo scolded in his heart. This is pure in Yue's mouth
The "law of the saints" is not all explained by their mouths. However, Zhao Tuo, as the protagonist of this matter, is not good at debating in person.
Fortunately, Li Si is also a master of tongue warfare, and as a pillar of the Legalist, he is a mutual enemy with these Confucian doctors.
"What a sage's law, he Zhou Gongdan is a sage, isn't Dayu and Shang Tang the sages of the ancients? Could it be that what they did with the same surname was the act of beasts? Li Si sneered, and a hat was buttoned up first, making the faces of the Confucian students change slightly.
Dayu ruled the flood, set Kyushu, and was the saint of ancient times. As for Shang Tang, Confucius said
"The Tang Wu Revolution follows the heavens and responds to the people", then he is naturally a saint. This is an undoubted thing.
Fortunately, Li Si did not so-called this
"The Law of the Saints" is entangled. He changed the topic and said: "The so-called non-marriage with the same surname has been 800 years since the beginning of the Zhou metric ceremony. Now you call it a ritual system, but in the past 800 years, how many of the princes of his Zhou family have observed this ceremony? How many things like Wu Mencius? The Confucian students looked at each other, and it was not easy to answer for a while.
The matter of Wu Mengzi was a heavy blow to them. This is mostly clear in the Analects.
Yan Lu Zhaogong married the daughter of Wu Guozong. Lu and Wu have the same surname, and the marriage between the two is a violation of Zhou etiquette
The system of "no marriage with the same surname". Therefore, the Lu people do not call it according to the title of ordinary women
"Wu Ji", but changed to
"Wu Mengzi", this is equivalent to changing people's names and surnames, and they want to get by. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Chen Guosikou once asked Confucius: "Does Lu Jun know etiquette?" Confucius replied, "Knowing etiquette." After Confucius left, Chen Guosikou said to Wu Maqi: "I have heard that a gentleman will not have selfish intentions and go to protect others. But Lu Jun married a woman with the same surname as a wife in Wu State, which was married with the same surname, and he was also called Wu Mengzi, which was obviously a violation of etiquette. But now Confucius is shielding Lu Jun and saying that he knows etiquette. If Lu Jun's behavior of marrying a woman with the same surname like this can be regarded as etiquette, then who in the world does not know etiquette" Li Si's words not only cited the example of Lu Zhaogong's intermarriage with the same surname to counterattack, but even ridiculed Confucius's behavior of shielding Lu Zhaogong, which made many Confucian students look bad.
Chun Yuyue said in a deep voice: "In the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty, there are more than 10 million princes in the world, even if one or two kings violate etiquette, it is also a normal thing, this is not enough to give an example." ”
"Huh? Only one or two? Are you so corrupt and ignorant of history? Or do you want to deceive the emperor? I'm here today to tell you how many people are married with the same surname in the Zhou room! Li Si's eyes widened in anger and he spoke loudly.
"Jin Kingdom, after Tang Shuyu, the son of King Wu of Zhou, is a big country surnamed Ji. When Jin Xiangong was married, he married Jia Nu, Da Rong Fox Ji, Xiao Rongzi, Li Ji, etc. as wives and concubines, and these four daughters were all surnamed Ji. His son, Jin Wengong, was born from a marriage with the same surname and became the overlord of the world. Even Duke Wen of Jin himself married the daughter of the Zhou royal family for the marriage of the same surname, and gave birth to a son, Jin Chenggong, with a black buttocks! ”
"As for the time of Jin Ping, he married the daughter of the Marquis of Wei as his wife, and married the daughter of Wu State, and these two marriages were also marriages with the same surname." When he heard the name of Jin Chenggong's black buttocks, Zhao Tuo's eyelids jumped.
But then I was surprised by the words in Li Si's mouth, these Jin monarchs love women with the same surname very much.
Li Si didn't stop at the moment, and continued to reprimand sharply: "Outside the Jin Kingdom. The state of Wu is also a big country with the surname Ji. Wu first married the daughter of the Jin State, and then married the daughter of the Lu State. and intermarried with Cai Guo, who was also surnamed Ji, and Wu Wangyi married Da Mengji, the daughter of Cai Zhaohou. Wu Wang Lu married his female uncle to Cai Houshen. In addition, Wu also intermarried with the Zhou royal family, how can such behavior be said to have the same surname and not marry? ”
"For hundreds of years, Jin, Wu, Lu, Zheng, Wei, Cai and other countries surnamed Ji have all intermarried with each other, and their deeds are countless. In addition to these surnamed Ji, even Zhou Tianzi also married Jin, Wu and other countries with the same surname. Is this the weekly rite of not marrying with the same surname? Li Si's voice was full of emotion, and the words in his mouth were even more name-based, shaking out the intermarriage between the countries surnamed Ji, which shocked everyone in the palace.
Zhu Confucian's complexion changed greatly. Li Si did not give up, and even took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Why am I waiting for the absurdity of what I say? ”
"Zhou etiquette is the etiquette made by the Zhou Gong and used to bind the Zhou people. And the first of my Qin State is the descendant of the nobles of Yin Shang, and the son of evil after Fei Lian! ”
"My Qin people's etiquette and customs are not the same as Zhou's, how can you take things that Zhou Tianzi and other countries surnamed Ji do not abide by to restrain my Qin people? How ridiculous and ridiculous it is to use rituals that were destroyed hundreds of years ago to restrain Daqin, who now rules the world! After these words fell, all the Qin ministers in the palace applauded one after another, and took advantage of the situation to make trouble.
Qiang Qi was anxious, and then sneered: "There are a lot of stinky Confucian students, he Zhou Tianzi is playing with the same surname marriage, and he even dares to ask my Qin State to do something with the same surname and not marry." I'm sorry, it's better for us Qiang people to engage in these vain things at all. Zhisu Neishi Wang Wu sneered and said: "Shameless, when Zhou Tianzi and those surnamed Ji intermarried with each other, why didn't you oppose and stop it?" What kind of Confucius are you, lying and covering up for Lu Jun to marry a woman with the same surname Wu. Now that my princess of Qin Kingdom is married, you people have come here to oppose it, which is really ridiculous and ridiculous. Bang Wei Wang Ben said coldly: "Zhou Li? Zhou Tianzi? The Zhou Chamber has been destroyed by my Qin State, what Zhou rites are, but things that should be entered into the tomb for burial. ”
"Yes! What Bang Wei said is, what kind of bullshit Zhou Li Zhou Tianzi, I, Qin Guonai, am Yin Shang, and I have already destroyed his Zhou room! The crowd was raging, and the shouting was endless.
"This ...... ...... "The Confucian doctors all turned pale. The doctor shot Zhou Qingchen and was so frightened by this scene that he trembled.
They couldn't even say a quibble, because they didn't know a lot of what Li Si said, and it was the first time they had heard of it here.
Although these Confucian doctors claim to be well-versed in the past and the present, in this ancient era of bamboo slips, due to the constraints of conditions, the classics are not in circulation.
There are often only one or two classics in the true transmission of each faction, and most of them are hidden and only passed on by teachers. Therefore, their knowledge, in addition to their own well-studied classics, is actually limited.
For some of the things mentioned in the Confucian scriptures, like:
They may know about "Wu Mencius". But what is not in the Confucian classics, but only recorded in the history books of various countries, how can they know about it?
Even Li Si, he entered the library of the Imperial History Mansion overnight, flipped through the history books of various countries collected by the Qin State, and consulted his erudite little junior brother before he could sort it out.
It was precisely because his examples were named and surnamed, that they were even more lethal, and those Confucian scholars were suppressed on the spot.
It turned out that Zhou Tianzi and those countries surnamed Ji were all married with the same surname. At this moment, coupled with the fact that the Qin ministers in the palace were denouncing one after another, the momentum was amazing, and the Confucian students were even more frightened that they couldn't even speak.
Chun Yuyue's palms trembled, his lips trembled, and he couldn't find the words to respond. Wang Xuan, the Zuo Prime Minister who was kind to them in Confucianism, and several ministers did not fall into the ground, but they were expressionless at the moment and did not dare to get involved.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth. Lees is Lees. didn't need the emperor to oppress people with power, this court lieutenant directly took down all these Confucian scholars with one mouth.
is worthy of being a man who can write the "Book of Expulsions", and his argument is amazing! But in the next second, a scene that surprised Zhao Tuo appeared.
After his victory, Lees did not give up. Instead, he turned to look at Qin Shi Huang who was smiling on the emperor's couch.
He raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the Duke of Zhou abandoned the customs of the second generation of Xia Shang and created the ceremony of not marrying with the same surname, in order to maintain the patriarchal law of Zhou. The countries with different surnames were used as marriage matchmakers for each other, and they all formed an alliance with the country surnamed Ji to consolidate the Zhou family's control over the world. This ritual system is a means of governing the country, dedicated to the stability of feudalism. ”
"If it is unified today, this law should be abandoned. But these Confucian scholars used this long outdated thing to oppose the matter of the princess of the eldest monk. ”
"The minister thinks that these Confucian scholars must be dissatisfied with the affairs of the counties and counties that our Qin State has done in the world, and they want to restore feudalism with the past and the present!"
"Minister Li Si said to Your Majesty, in order to ensure the stability of my Great Qin Society, cut off such things that are not ancient and modern. The doctors should be deprived of the right to participate in politics. Li Si's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to face the many Confucian scholars at the end of the hall, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Confucianism wants to use this matter to seize the right to speak. And he, Li Si, just killed them in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, please abolish the Zhou rites and practice the Qin law!"
