Chapter 147 Confucian Internal Strife
Ying Zheng then checked the vegetable seedlings and was pleasantly surprised. Sure enough, they had sprouted as the manual said. Now, as long as they are carefully cultivated, these crops can bear fruit.
The future of Da Qin depends on these seedlings.
As long as the people can have enough to eat and the punishment is determined, who among the people is willing to rebel against Qin.
After Ying Zheng praised the people, he said some happy words to everyone and left Zhuangzi.
…
On the other side, Fu Sheng came to the eldest son's mansion and met Chun Yuyue.
"How are you doing, senior brother?" Fu Sheng showed great respect to Chun Yuyue.
"Hmph, what are you doing here, a traitor?" Chunyu Yue said in a nonchalant tone.
"Of course I came to see my senior brother, and I hope that my senior brother can help me," Fu Sheng replied.
"Help you? Huh? We have different paths and we don't want to work together. You can go." Chunyu Yue said.
"I can leave, but I don't want Confucianism to perish because of senior brother's paranoia." Fu Sheng said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Confucianism I lead is the orthodox one. You are just a heretic who caters to Ying Zheng. How can you compare with me?" Chunyu Yue said angrily.
Fu Sheng sighed and said: "The imperial court has posted notices about the unification of China. Whoever talks about enfeoffment now is a traitor to the whole of China.
Nowadays, the common people are talking about the unification of China, and they are all proud of being a member of China.
His Majesty even stated that Qin could be destroyed and China could not be divided.
Senior brother, it is no longer possible for you to continue to implement the feudal system. The court will not support you, the people will not support you, and even Confucianists have begun to oppose you.
Senior brother, stop it. "
Chunyu Yue snorted coldly: "If they don't support me, it's only temporary. As long as the eldest son still trusts me, Da Qin will divide the world sooner or later."
"Senior brother, please wake up." Fu Sheng said in a deep voice, "The enfeoffment system is over and when His Majesty proposed the unification, the Crown Prince was by His Majesty's side.
At that time, the prince did not refuse at all, but agreed to the proposal.
Fortunately, the prince was on the side to persuade His Majesty to spare the senior brother and give him a chance, so now the senior brother has lost his head. "
"The prince protecting me means that I still have hope. You don't have to persuade me. I will wait here for the prince to come back." Chunyu Yue said again.
After talking about the enfeoffment system for most of my life, and suddenly saying that what I said was wrong, where would I put my old face?
I am very proud of myself, don’t you know?
Seeing that he could not explain Chunyu Yue, Fu Sheng sighed and said, "Senior brother, I am here to advise you. I hope that you can live, and at the same time, I hope that the Confucian scholars who follow my senior brother can live."
"What do you mean? The First Emperor wants to be the eldest son."
"It's the prince."
Fu Sheng corrected Chun Yuyue's name for Fu Su.
"Okay, the prince is the prince." Chunyu Yue continued without too much entanglement, "The First Emperor wants to kill me in the absence of the prince?"
"No, not just killing you, but burning books and entrapping scholars."
"Burning books to embarrass Confucian scholars?" Chunyu Yue was furious, "How dare Ying Zheng risk the disapproval of the world? He wants to make enemies of all Confucian scholars in the world."
"No, I am just making you an enemy, and will accuse you of betraying the unification of China. You and all the Confucian scholars who were tricked and killed will be recorded in the annals of history and bear historical infamy."
"I am not a traitor, Ying Zheng is. The enfeoffment system started in Xia, passed through Shang, and Zhou dynasties and has been passed down to this day. How could there be any mistake?
It is Ying Zheng who is the most disgraceful person in the world, and he is the eternal sinner. "
"Senior brother, please wake up. The feudal system is gone, and now China is unified. If you are so stubborn, my teacher will be heartbroken when he finds out."
"Don't mention your mentor. You are not qualified to mention your mentor. Get out of here. Get out of here." Chunyu Yue began to drive Fu Sheng away.
Fu Sheng sighed and said, "Senior brother, please take care."
After leaving Chun Yuyue's room, Fu Sheng came to the yard. At this time, a group of Confucian scholars surrounded Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng's face darkened and he said angrily: "What do you want to do?"
"Traitor." A Confucian scholar yelled angrily.
"traitor."
"traitor."
…
For a time, all the Confucian scholars began to call Fu Sheng a traitor, which shows that they are all die-hard fans of Chunyu Yue.
Fu Sheng listened to their curses and did not refute in a hurry.
When a Confucian scholar saw that Fu Sheng was silent, he thought he was afraid, so he said, "Fu Sheng, you betrayed Confucianism and became the court's dog. I look down on you."
Fu Sheng said calmly: "When did I betray Confucianism? I just combined Confucianism with the current imperial court and created my own idea of unification. How can I betray Confucianism?"
Do we have to stick to the Zhou rites and the enfeoffment system, and then wait for the imperial court to burn our books and entrap Confucianism, so that Confucianism will completely decline? Is that considered loyal?
The greatest idea of Confucianism is tolerance and tolerance of all schools of thought. Confucius once said that if there are three people who win, there must be one who is my teacher.
Why is it now that everyone is someone else's teacher, and you can't let others be your teacher?
The sage also said: Learn and practice it from time to time. As for us, we have always followed Zhou rites and always thought about the enfeoffment system.
It is tacitly understood by everyone whether it is you who are stubborn or whether I have become a traitor.
The sage Confucius also said: To know is to know, and to not know is to know. This is knowledge.
You have never understood the unification of China. I really don’t know how you can face calling me a traitor?
In addition, since you are all Confucian people and have been deceived by my senior brother, I will give you a piece of advice: leave Xianyang City as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected events. "
Everyone was shocked and didn't know why.
A courageous Confucian scholar stepped forward and took Fu Sheng's arm, asking, "What do you mean by this?"
"I've already told my senior brother, go and ask him yourselves. Whether he will tell you or not depends on whether he cares about you." Fu Sheng said lightly.
"Okay." The Confucian scholar said, "We will go and ask Mr. Chunyu Yue now, but you have to go with us."
"Okay, but take your hand away." Fu Sheng's face darkened.
The Confucian scholar let go of his hand and let Fu Sheng walk in front. After a while, Fu Sheng saw Chun Yuyue again.
"Senior brother, they want to ask you what kind of unexpected events you will encounter." Fu Sheng said with a smile.
Chunyu Yue's face was ashen, this Fu Sheng was going to destroy his last hope.
"What do you want?"
"I don't want Confucianism to suffer catastrophe. Now everything depends on senior brother's decision. I don't want to say more.
Farewell. "Fu Sheng was about to leave after finishing speaking.
"Wait, you can't leave." A Confucian scholar said.
Two Confucian scholars immediately stood in front of Fu Sheng, preventing him from leaving.
Fu Sheng sneered and said, "Why, you think you can stop me?"
