Chapter 592: The Counterattack of the Families
At this time, the head of Confucianism was still Zigong, he was not a foolish person, but because he was born as a businessman, he acted very flexibly.
Although the book burning pit Confucianism did not hurt the muscles and bones, it also made Zigong, Yan Hui and other high-level Confucian leaders vigilant and dissatisfied.
In the past, everyone could fight for the school of thought, but it was limited to the battle of learning, and the use of the dynasty as a conspiracy method like the Legalists was indeed a bit unpopular in the world.
Not only did it annoy Confucianism, but also schools of thought such as Yin-Yang and Taoism also had a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
As the biggest victim of the book burning pit Confucianism, the Yin and Yang family suffered great damage to their strength and had to rely completely on Confucianism to exist.
Previously, the Yin-Yang School was equivalent to a branch of Confucianism, but it was relatively independent externally, and it regarded itself as a Yin-Yang family.
After this incident, the Yin-Yang School was greatly hit, and its leader, Dongfang Shuo, came to see Zigong and cried: "Door Master, Yan, this time the Yin-Yang School has encountered no vain, and I also ask the two to uphold justice." ”
Although Yan Hui was also very angry, he understood that this was not the time to be rash.
The people do not fight with the officials, this is a consensus formed in the secular world for thousands of years.
A sect, especially if it is not an immortal cultivation sect.
This is also the reason why the princes and hundreds of schools of thought are dependent on each kingdom.
Although Confucianism is special, it is between the sect of cultivating immortals and the secular sect.
Some Great Confucians have the attack strength of the Golden Immortal Rank, but most of the disciples are still ordinary people.
Yan Hui looked at the door master Zigong.
Zigong pondered for a long time, comforted Dongfang Shuo and said: "Brother Dongfang, don't worry, Confucianism will definitely not stand idly by, and will seek justice for the sacrificed beings." ”
Zigong asked, "Brother Dongfang, I don't know what happened to Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng?"
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, his face turned dark, and he said angrily: "Sect Master, this is exactly what we don't understand, although they call themselves Fangshi, they are not people from the Yin and Yang School, and we suspect that there is someone behind them. ”
Zigong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yan Hui and said, "It seems that our previous guesses are eighty percent correct. ”
Dongfang Shuo said suspiciously: "I don't know what the two great Confucians mean?"
Yan Hui said word by word: "After the incident happened, the master of the sect was suspicious, and ordered someone to investigate the matter in detail, and found that Na Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng seemed to be involved with the Nafa family. ”
Dongfang Shuo was shocked: "Why? What the hell did the Legalists do?"
Zigong sneered: "What are you doing? However, this method is too insidious, and it is vain to be called a legalist. ”
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he was extremely angry: "Legalists? ”
Dongfang Shuo had also thought about this possibility before, but he didn't want to believe it, "If it's true, the Legalists have broken through the bottom line!"
In the past, various schools preached doctrines and competed for disciples, but they never deliberately framed and framed them.
This is an extremely taboo thing, and if everyone does this and attacks each other without a bottom line, then how can there be any arguments? This is not the right way for the development of the school.
Zigong said firmly: "If it is true that the Legalists deliberately use the power of the dynasty to suppress other schools this time, then this trend will not last, and other schools will definitely think about it." Although the people do not fight with the officials, we must not wait for death. ”
Dongfang Shuo hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for upholding justice." After the Yin-Yang School, it was the first to look forward to Confucianism. ”
After that, Zigong found people who presided over the Taoism, Mojia, and peasant schools to discuss the matter.
Under the protection of the Qin Dynasty, the Fa family became bigger and bigger, and there was a monopoly on the family.
At this time, the Legalist Han Fei wrote the book "Han Feizi", which analyzed the art of the emperor and the art of ruling very thoroughly, which made Han Fei famous and had the potential to overshadow the representative of the Legalist Li Si.
In the debate between schools, whenever Han Fei appears, all schools will respond, and those who should respond will gather and be praised by all schools.
On the other hand, when Lees appeared, there were very few responders.
And the reality is that Han Fei is a stammering person, and his speech is extremely unfavorable.
This made Li Si extremely angry, and it was not easy to have a seizure.
After a period of time, Dongfang Shuo found Zigong and said, "Sect Master, will this really be effective?"
Zigong smiled and said, "Brother Dongfang, don't worry. The theory of yin and yang does not mean that there will be disasters when the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, not to mention the key matters involving the inheritance of the Taoist system and the name of history, I don't believe that Li Si can endure this breath. ”
It turned out that it was a conspiracy of various families to make Han Fei's reputation famous, just to make the Legalists fight among themselves.
At this time, the leader of the Legalist family was Li Si, but Han Fei published a book and had a prominent reputation, which was greater than the incongruity of yin and yang between the weak and the strong.
According to the theory of yin and yang, the imbalance of yin and yang will inevitably produce disaster.
Zigong said: "But you still need to add fire." ”
Shortly thereafter, a saying began to circulate in the Qin Dynasty: "Han Fei is a master of law, a generation of grandmasters, and Qin Shi Huang appreciated it and planned to reuse Han Fei." ”
What is surprising is that Han Feifei was not reused, but was imprisoned by Qin Shi Huang.
It turned out that Li Si was afraid that King Qin would reuse Han Fei, so he wrote a book and told Qin Shi Huang a lot of bad things about Han Fei.
In particular, Li Si said that Han Fei slandered Qin Shi Huang and criticized the government, and quoted the words of his book "Han Feizi" to argue.
For example, the technique of removing "adultery" in the third part of the "Eight Classics" in Han Fei's book made Qin Shi Huang extremely annoyed and angry.
Qin Shi Huang believed Li Si's statement and put Han Fei in prison.
According to the Qin decree, prisoners in prison did not have the right to submit a written defense.
So, with the collusion of Li Si and Yao Jia, another member of the Legalist family, Han Fei ate the poison sent by Li Si and committed suicide.
Han Fei's experience caused an uproar in the Legalist school and caused a split in the Legalist school.
Many people who sympathized with Han Fei's plight and his disciples wanted to hold Li Si accountable, but they were all suppressed by Li Si.
On the contrary, this further divided Legalism and caused great damage to the Legalist school.
At this time, Qin Shi Huang, who had no hope of seeking immortals, began to enjoy the appetite for food.
He intended to build a beautiful palace called Afang Palace.
In order to repair the Afang Palace, Qin Shi Huang levied forced labor, pushing the people into the abyss of misery, and the people were struggling to survive, provoking anti-Qin uprisings in various places.
In the face of the surging anti-Qin uprising, although there was a strong army to suppress it, Li Si, as the prime minister, had the duty to persuade him.
He and other officials persuaded Qin Shi Huang to stop the construction of the Afang Palace and reduce some forced labor.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang was feasting and drinking with the palace maids, and was very angry when he saw Li Si and others writing a book, and ordered Li Si and them to be arrested and imprisoned.
Li Si wrote many times in prison, but was detained by Zhao Gao, a member of the Zongheng family.
Zhao Gao took the opportunity to say that Li Si and his son Li You had rebelled, and tortured Li Si to extract a confession.
Li Si was forced to confess to rebellion, was killed by Qin Shi Huang, and razed the three tribes.
When the news of Li Si's death broke, all the sons celebrated in unison.
Dongfang Shuo personally came to the Confucian Sect and thanked Zigong: "Li Si is so fortunate thanks to the wisdom of the master of the sect, and the Yin and Yang School are grateful. ”
Zigong waved his hand and said: "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." Confucianism and I didn't do anything, and the Legalists would not let the Legalists continue to be lawless. ”
In this way, with the silent cooperation of everyone, Li Si ended up tragically, and the Legalist family also fell apart.
