CHAPTER XV

Ask yourself, Ying Zheng never felt that he was a small, explosive and irritable emperor.

When the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo ostensibly helped the Qin State to build the Zheng State Canal, but in fact weakened the manpower and material resources of the Qin State for the sake of his mother country South Korea, when the guest secretaries of various countries were running around the Qin State as their mother country to spy on the military and political affairs of the Qin State, he felt deeply betrayed and issued an expulsion order to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Qin State.

But despite being let down and betrayed, when Li Si wrote the "Expulsion Order" and said something, he could still seriously reflect on the correctness of his decision, and retract his fate when he realized that his decision was not correct.

Discerning right from wrong and opening up the way of speech, what a valuable quality for an emperor.

And then this quality of his was mercilessly mocked by the doctors and Confucian scholars-

His domination of the Six Kingdoms is tyrannical.

He rewards and punishes moderately, and is not kind.

His books are on the same track as the train and the same track, which is to stifle the civilizations of all countries.

- In short, everything he did was wrong.

When Confucius first made a big speech in Zhangtai Palace, Tu Sui, who had just been worshiped by him as a national lieutenant, was so angry that he got up, his black face turned into the color of pig liver, and he went to kill Confucianism with his sword, if it wasn't for the Meng Tian brothers to stop him, he was afraid that Tu Sui would be able to make Confucianism's blood flow like a river in an instant.

He wasn't as angry as Tu Sui.

It's not that he has a good temper, but he doesn't think it's worth it.

One is a study of books, the other is a study of the world of Kyushu, and the angle of looking at the problem is different, and it is normal to have disagreements and misunderstandings.

If Confucianism can ponder the general trend of the world more thoroughly than him, then the person who swept the first emperor of Liuhe may not be his victory.

Interlacing is like separating mountains, and the words of the Confucian scholars are listened to, and there is no need to go to the heart.

He named the Confucian scholars as doctors and shelved them in the cabinet.

Kyushu is unified, and the face work of attracting people's hearts must be done sufficiently.

However, the irony is that Confucius's saying "the villain is afraid of power and not virtue" also applies to his disciples.

These wise men took the six hundred stone taels he gave, and still did not have a good word from him, so they came to find him who was exhausted from dealing with government affairs, and then arrested him and mocked him.

Harsh government, unkind.

He likes luxury, good music, reckless military force, and a lot of construction.

In short, those words that appear in the tyrant or the king of the dead country can always be pressed on him by Confucianism, and then he sings three sighs to persuade him to rein in the precipice and be a wise and benevolent monarch.

That's where it gets interesting.

Is he a Ming monarch or a tyrant, is he evaluated by a Confucian who eats his money and then scolds him for being a tyrant and a faint monarch and a dead king?

So he decisively deposed the title, and from then on did not allow ministers to discuss the king, and sons to discuss their fathers.

The Confucian scholars jumped to their feet in anger.

But what does that have to do with him?

His policies were still being implemented, the territory of Great Qin was still expanding, and the unprecedentedly powerful dynasty was proud of Kyushu, and it would not stop because of a few words of Confucianism.

And as a tolerant and generous emperor, he saw that the Confucian scholars were really idle, and he also found something to do for the Confucian students.

- For example, cracking the alphabet of the Heavenly Book to teach Little Eleven.

Why do you read A again? Why does B read B again?

Why are there vowels and 26 letters?

Then this group of Confucian scholars who think of themselves as high will be stumped by what they are good at.

Then he could look at them with shame and cheek-scratching as he folded his sleeves, and his heart was so happy that he could even eat an extra bowl of rice.

Of course, he was by no means taking revenge for personal gain.

He was just looking for something for the Confucian scholars to do.

Just as he is now leading Xiao Eleven, he is looking for Confucian students with the difficult to recognize square words given to Little Eleven by the Book of Heaven.

This is called being the supreme emperor but not ashamed to ask, and the threesome must have my teacher, and it is by no means to block the Confucian students!

"What do you think, what does this word mean?"

Ying Zheng sat on the throne and raised his eyebrows lazily, "Why do you understand?" ”

“......”

Silent.

Silent.

Silence is the Doctor of Confucianism today.

"I thought it was normal for people like me to not know these words, but I never thought that you, as a Confucian disciple who is famous for your knowledge, don't know either."

Ying Zheng sighed lightly, killing people, "That's it, I'll ask the other sons and hundreds of schools again." ”

“......”

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

"Your Majesty doesn't have to ask!"

As soon as Ying Zheng's voice fell, a Confucian student stood up, "It's just a few words, how can we Confucian children be stumped?" ”

"Your Majesty, wait."

"Ten days early, more than a month if it is slow, the minister will be able to decipher the words written by His Majesty!"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

- He admired the Confucian spirit that once it comes to literature, they don't need others to dig holes, and they will find their own pits.

"Very well, I'll wait."

Ying Zhengdao.

After defeating Confucianism with what Confucianism is best at, Yingzheng picked a few Confucian doctors with a good attitude but not bad knowledge to enlighten Hehua.

"Father, I already have a teacher."

Hehua pulled down the sleeve of Yingzheng and muttered in a low voice.

Ying Zheng said, "The things you learn on weekdays are too profound, and occasionally you need to learn some shallow things from Confucian students to cultivate your sentiments." ”

There was a momentary distortion on the face of the chosen Confucian scholar.

——Retribution is not the quality that a generation of Ming Jun should have!

Your Majesty, you can stop in moderation, Your Majesty!

The corners of Fusu's mouth, who watched the whole process, twitched slightly, and he had a new understanding of his father.

- It turns out that Father is not only the first emperor who is high in the world, but also an ordinary person with his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

This kind of recognition makes Fusu a little novel.

As if a new door had been opened, he watched Yingzheng's every move, and then soon found that this imperial father whom he respected as a god was actually not as strict as he imagined, even if his face was as heavy as water, there would be emotions in his eyes, with banter and ridicule, appreciating the good performances of the Confucian scholars.

Fusu's brows moved slightly.

For some reason, looking at such a father, he had the illusion that as long as he spoke to his father calmly, then his father would be able to listen to his opinion.

But he didn't want that feeling to be an illusion.

After thinking all the way, Fusu mustered up the courage to say to Ying Zheng, "The emperor's father, the sons and daughters think that the county system may be more suitable for today's Daqin than the feudal system." ”

Li Si's heart jumped, and he suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

——When did this stubborn and left-minded son of His Majesty's political views have such an enlightenment?

Subconsciously, Li Si looked up at the sky.

Jin Wuxi fell, and the sky was red.

- The sun doesn't rise from the west and sets from the east, so why did Childe suddenly open his mind?

Li Si was puzzled, and Ying Zheng's doubts were no less than Li Si's, he handed over Hehua, who was asleep in his arms, to Han Su, and looked his eldest son up and down with a worried face.

"Why is the county system more suitable?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"It's because of the Book of Heaven."

Fusu was very calm, "Erchen once asked Xiao Shiyi to ask the Book of Heaven for Erchen, which is better or worse between the county system and the sub-feudal system." ”

Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly dark.

Fusu continued, "The Tianshuyan sub-feudal system is all dross, and he chose the county system without hesitation. ”

"Tianshu thinks the county system is suitable, so do you think the county system is suitable?"

Ying Zheng's voice was slightly deep.

Fusu pursed his lower lip, "The reason why Erchen insisted on the feudal system before was because the territory of Daqin at this time was vast and endless, and Kyushu could not be promoted with the policy of governing the land in the middle of the pass. ”

"Those remote places have just been submitted to the emperor's father, the people's hearts are unstable, and the government decrees are not obeyed, if the Great Qin is strong, the officials sent by the emperor father can still suppress the Qianshou with an iron fist, but if the situation is turbulent, these officials will support the army and become the new princes (1)."

Ying Zheng's eyelids lifted slightly.

"But if these officials are blood relatives of the emperor's father, and the political situation is unstable, they will strangle the army and Qin Wang, and ensure that my Great Qin Jiangshan will not be easily obtained by outsiders."

"And their town guards can also deter the unscrupulous people in the center of the court, so that the traitors and villains are jealous, even if they make trouble, they will not dare to harm the country."

"But if there is no Ying clan to sit in the Quartet, once the ruler is far inferior to the emperor's father, he will become a puppet in the hands of the ministers, and the prosperous country that the emperor's father spent half his life to fight can only be ruined by the ministers."

"Yes, the sons will invite the emperor's father, and the remote frontier places will be guarded by the emperor's father's blood relatives."

Fusu said, "As for the original rich lands of the Six Kingdoms, the county system proposed by Tingwei will be implemented. ”

Ying Zheng gently rubbed the black jade dragon wrench on his thumb.

- This is the first time that his good son has opened his heart to him, discussing the pros and cons of the feudal system of counties and counties.

"But Erchen's worries seem to be superfluous, in the eyes of Tianshu, the sub-feudal system is useless."

Fusu chuckled lightly and sighed, "In this case, why should the sons and daughters be stubborn and prevent the imperial father from promoting the county?" ”

He didn't like to hear that.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Tianshu's words must be right?" ”

"Since it's a book from heaven, it's naturally right."

Fu Su bowed his head.

"Wrong, very wrong."

Ying Zheng's voice was slow, "No one's decision is necessarily right, and the Book of Heaven is the same." ”

Fusu was slightly stunned.

- Book from the sky, can it be wrong?

Ying Zheng asked: "If the Book of Heaven says that I am the merchant of Xia Wei, and the Ming Lord is hidden in the head of Qian, then you will turn your back on me and turn your back on Great Qin, and serve the head of Qianshou as the king?" ”

"It's-"

Fusu's voice paused slightly, "Erchen categorically won't." ”

"That's it."

The eldest son had a heart-to-heart with him, and Yingzheng was quite pleased, even if the eldest son was far from meeting his expectations, but at this time he was willing to break everything up and tell him.

"Your decision should not be influenced by the Book of Heaven, let alone blindly respect the Book of Heaven."

Ying Zheng's voice did not have any ups and downs, as if he was saying something very ordinary, "The Book of Heaven is no different from the Prime Minister and the Hundred Schools of the Princes of Tingwei. ”

"They are the ones who help you govern the world, not that you have to do what they say you will to build a country that has never been stronger."

Fusu's breath suddenly suffocated.

He finally realized the gap between himself and his father.

He believed in Confucianism and the Book of Heaven, and he made himself a tool for Confucianism and even the Book of Heaven to transmit instructions.

But the Imperial Father never will.

The Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Thailand are nothing more than this in the eyes of Father.

Those five emperors under the fame are nothing more than Erer in the eyes of my father.

Therefore, Father is called the First Emperor, and he is the co-monarch of heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods.

The heavenly book that he worshiped as a god was a tool for his father to use to strengthen Kyushu, and it was no different from the prime minister, the court captain, and even the sons of the hundred schools.

- Father will never, and will not, allow himself to become the Son of Heaven who prays for the protection of the gods.

He was the emperor.

Virtue and three emperors, meritorious to the five emperors.

The world's Kyushu, all things in the world, must bow down to him and worship him.

"You are the true master of this dynasty."

Ying Zheng is not in a hurry or slow, and he is loud, "not the book of heaven and others." ”

The palace is silent.

Fusu's heartbeat was exceptionally clear.

He pressed his heart, trying to calm his three views and reason that he was shocked and had nothing left.

But it was all in vain, and he couldn't calm his mind, just as he knew that he would never reach the height of his father in his lifetime.

He looked up at the imperial father on the throne, where it was clear that there was a person sitting, but it was so unattainable, above all things in the world.

How fortunate he was to be his eldest son.

How unfortunate he is, he will only be his foil for the rest of his life, and it will even become a flaw in his peerless feats.

- The first emperor of the ages is like him, and his heir is not worth the tenth and twelfth of him.

"Erchen, Erchen has been taught."

Fusu took a deep breath and slowly leaned over to Yingzheng.

His waist was almost bowed low, and he was extremely humble and sincere.

Li Si was overjoyed.

Childe is young in the end, and it is inevitable that there are things that are not thoughtful.

As long as Gongzi can realize his own shortcomings, then the future of Gongzi and even Daqin is bright.

Ying Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly, "Is it really teachable?" ”

"Really."

Fu Su bowed his head.

But being taught does not mean that he can be like a Confucian student, calmly facing the words of his father again and again, Fusu's voice paused slightly, and changed the topic, "Father, my son has sorted out the thousand-character texts that Xiao Eleven has learned in the past few days, and I have found a clue from it. ”

"Qiangxi Yiyin, Zuo Shi Aheng; Dying house Qufu, Weidan camp; ”

"Huan Gong Kuanghe, help the weak; Qi returned to Hanhui and said that he was grateful to Wu Ding. ”

"These four sentences respectively talk about King Wu of Zhou meeting Lu Shang, and Yi Yin assisting in current affairs."

"King Cheng of Zhou captured Qufu in the ancient kingdom of Zhou, if it wasn't for Zhou Gongdan's auxiliary government, how could he have this feat?"

"Duke Huan of Qi has met with the princes nine times to help the weak and small countries that are in danger."

"And the last sentence is that Shang Jun has a feeling and dreams of being virtuous, but what does the sentence in front of this sentence mean?"

"'Qihui Hanhui', who is it referring to?"

Fusu glanced at Yingzheng on the main seat, and quickly retracted his gaze.

Ying Zhengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

After half a breath, he ordered Zhao Gao to find all the poems that Hehua had learned, and from dozens of poems, he accurately took out a poem called Chusai-

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned, but the dragon city will fly in, and Hu Ma will not be taught to do Yin Mountain."

Ying Zheng sneered, "Thousands of years later, it will be the Han who will replace my Great Qin." ”

Fusu's breath tightened.

How could my father be so calm?

The next moment, he heard his father's voice resounding in the main hall—

"Qin died in Han."

"Fusu, you are my eldest son, do you have a way to deal with it?"
