Fusu looked at Ji Heng solemnly, and said suspiciously: "The court does ignore the bottom a little, but it is by no means as serious as you said, and hundreds of officials up and down the court cannot sit idly by, it can only be that the court is not aware of it, or has neglected it." ”

"I think you're biased."

Ji Heng took a sip of wine, looked at 'Bo Qin' with a calm expression, and did not answer directly, but changed the topic and asked, "What do you think of Confucianism?" ”

Fusu frowned.

He couldn't guess Ji Heng's thoughts.

But he still said honestly: "Confucianism is a group of schools that eat the ancients and talk about retro, repentance, and benevolence." ”

Ji Heng bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "What about the Legalists?" ”

Fusu was stunned.

He looked at Ji Heng suspiciously, and said with a straight face: "Legalism is a fair and just existence that maintains order in the world. ”

Ji Heng chuckled, not knowing what he was laughing at.

He shook his head, retracted his gaze, and said lightly, "You are wrong. ”

"The Legalists are not so fair."

"The so-called rule of law is actually the rule of man."

"There may be honest and fair officials, but not everyone can despair from human desire."

"You think Confucianism is a conservative school of retro and repentance, but what about Confucianism headed by Li Si?"

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned.

Ji Heng continued: "There is a saying in the Analects: 'A gentleman is a man of righteousness, and a villain is of profit.'" ”

"Confucian children are human beings."

"Li Si and other officials are also human."

"It makes no difference."

"From the perspective of righteousness and benefit, Daqin has long been under the framework of this kind of law and dogma, and has long had a contemptuous mentality for anything beyond this scope, so that regardless of social changes, these beneficiaries will stick to the so-called 'orthodoxy' in the past."

"That's how it is in Confucianism."

"The same is true of the current Legalists."

"Even when there is a threat to their power, they will invariably defend their power."

"Even if this move is extremely harmful to the country."

"Just as when the world was talking about the division of counties and counties, almost the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty thought that it should be 'divided'."

"Admittedly."

"Not to put the king, not to fill in, is based on the general view of the current situation."

"But why didn't the minister who put forward the proposal of 'dividing the feud' at that time want to restore the Shiqing Shilu of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"It's just a matter of second best."

"Li Si has indeed made great contributions to Qin."

"However, as I said before, the hustle and bustle of the world is all about profit."

"When it comes to self-interest, very few people can really do it wholeheartedly."

"The same goes for Lees."

"Maybe you can't believe it, after all, Li Si and the First Emperor are so monarchs and ministers, how can Li Si have different intentions, but this is obviously not the case, Li Si is the current leader of the lawyers, and he wants to defend the status of the Legalists in the imperial court."

"That's why they will actively suggest book burning, pit Confucianism, etc."

"And it is recommended to use officials as teachers and the law as teaching, but these are not enough."

"In his position, many things are out of his control."

"Today's Great Qin Dynasty is completely different from the court when it swept the Six Kingdoms."

"You need to understand that."

"It is true that the courtiers have not changed, but the hearts of the people have changed."

"If Li Sizhen is dedicated to the public, when the imperial court implements this system, it will never copy the decree of Shang Ying."

"Shang Ying said at the beginning, 'If you don't rule the world together, the country will be lawless.'" ”

"Illegal ancients, not the present!"

"Han Feizi has also mentioned more than once: 'Time shifts and it is not easy to govern the chaotic'."

"Shang Ying and Han Feizi both advocated that the law should change with the times, but Li Si, as the ruling lawyer, completely ignored this point of view and blindly copied the laws and regulations of Shang Yang during the war, how is this difference from the conservative Confucianism?"

"So Li Si is not a real legalist."

"Like Shang Ying and Han Feizi, they have an extremely distinct view of history."

"They oppose conservative retro thinking, advocate resolute reform, and believe that history is moving forward, and all laws and systems must develop with the development of history, and they can neither retrogress nor follow the old ways."

"Lees clearly didn't do it."

"He is no different from Confucianism in some ways."

"It's just that Li Si has done too much in the past, so that you don't dare to speculate."

"But if you omit Li Si's achievements in the early years of the founding of the country, what Li Si did in the next few years is actually completely in line with two words."

"Bureaucrats!"

"As for the meaning of bureaucracy, you go down and taste it yourself."

"A large part of the reason why Great Qin fell into such a precarious situation is that the imperial court ignored the foundation of the bottom, and with the collapse of the military merit system, the only upward channel that the bottom had in the past was completely closed."

"After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Great Qin power relied on farming to fight."

"The two complement each other."

"Now that Great Qin has overused the people, the Qiantou is unable to farm, and the collapse of the military merit system has also completely lost hope at the bottom."

"Coupled with the high pressure of the imperial court, it is only a matter of time before something happens."

"Now back to business."

Ji Heng took a few sips, moistened his throat, and continued: "The reason why Chu Di was the first to rebel is actually very simple. ”

"Because Chu was the most lenient in the past, and it was divided and ruled, and the place was rich and rich, so it was not difficult for the people to make a living, but after the unification of Great Qin, all the mountains, rivers and lakes in the world were returned to Shaofu, and the oral endowment increased year by year, and the forced labor continued, so Chu had the deepest resentment against Daqin."

"Maybe you're confused."

"This is different from what I heard in the DPRK."

"Chu Di has always been very slow to implement the Great Qin decree and so on."

"But there's one thing you're missing."

"The official is the official, the people are the people, and the two cannot be confused."

"Local officials really don't care about implementing Qin politics, but they still have the courage to make a lot of money for themselves under the banner of the Qin court."

"And it's huge."

Hear the words.

Fusu's face sank.

He understood the meaning of Ji Heng's words.

Ji Heng ignored Fusu's ugly face and continued: "One more thing for you, the nobles of Chu have a strong control over Chudi, so in addition to paying the rent stipulated by the imperial court, the head of Chu will also pay some additional harvests to the nobles, so the already embarrassing family situation is even worse. ”

"This kind of situation is very common in Kanto."

"Chudi is especially serious."

"Because Chu is a vast land, it is the most exploited."

"In the past, they could rely on mountains, rivers and lakes to increase their livelihood, but now if they try to make these ideas, they will only be targeted by officials who are waiting for the rabbit."

"So in recent years, there have been more and more people who have fallen into the grass and escaped into the rivers to become thieves."

"The people of Chu should have lived the most easily, but in fact they had the most difficult life, the number of people raised by the mountains, rivers and lakes is limited, and the anger and resentment accumulated by the people are also limited, if Daqin does not solve it in time, it will one day be counterattacked."

"It's hard to say when the world comes."

"After all, the world has been grudging for a long time, and it's just a little bit of Mars."
