I was confused.
What is this and what? What do I think about establishing a prince? Why did Li Si just take care of the matter? Also, am I very familiar with Shusun Tong?
Since the thirty-fourth year of the First Emperor, that is, two years ago, Chunyu Yue once again suggested that the First Emperor implement the enfeoffment system, which triggered a "prefecture/feudal" debate with Li Si. Chunyu Yue not only failed to persuade the First Emperor to use the enfeoffment system to govern the world, but also Let Li Si take the opportunity to propose "abolition of the scholars and using officials as teachers" on the grounds that Confucian students "did not learn from the present but studied the ancients".
Li Si's suggestion was approved and implemented by the First Emperor, which triggered one of the great disasters in the history of literature - the "book burning". Since then, Confucianism has gradually become lonely in the Qin Dynasty. Chun Yuyue also disappeared from the Qin Dynasty court and never appeared in the history books again. superior.
From then on, Shu Suntong became one of the representatives of Confucianism at that time. This person not only served as a doctor in the Qin and Han dynasties, but also formulated the etiquette of the early Han Dynasty at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and was named Ji Sijun. Sima Qian's evaluation of Shusun Tong was "to deal with affairs in a timely manner, to advance and retreat according to etiquette, and to change with the times." The general idea is that this senior was better at watching and acting.
As for how far he went, he once followed Ying Zheng and Hu Hai. When he saw something bad happened in the Qin Dynasty, he ran to follow Xiang Liang, then followed King Huai of Chu and Xiang Yu, and finally settled with Liu Bang. Therefore, Sima Guang's evaluation of him in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is completely different from that of Sima Qian. It is said that he is also a god...
With Fusu's character and political views, it is not surprising that he is familiar with Shusuntong.
'Does Qin Shihuang want to make Fusu the crown prince? It is very possible that history does not say that Qin Shihuang wanted to make Fusu the crown prince when he died, but was it corrected by Zhao Gao, Li Si and Hu Hai? In addition, Fusu also failed to live up to expectations, which made Hu Hai become the second emperor of Qin. If that's the case, doesn't it mean that I can be the emperor? 'I couldn't help but get excited. Being an emperor, which man has never dreamed of having an army at his disposal and a harem of 3,000 beauties? It would be so exciting!
But then I thought about it, something was not right. Qin Shihuang died next year, and the current situation of Qin Dynasty is not much different from history. It is hard to say that my ending will still be assigned, and then killed by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. Think of something.
Find out the details of the enemy first, and then think of a way to crack it! Thinking like this, I shouted out the door: "Lan'er!"
Lan'er walked in in response, bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Didn't your Majesty the CRRC come here with your father today?"
"Come on, the one standing on the left side of the door when the emperor was talking to you..." Lan'er held back her next sentence, "You don't know him, right?" She had so many things to think about after the young master fell ill. He didn't get out of bed, and his speech and behavior seemed different from before.
In fact, I really didn't know him. Fusu was only 14 years old at this time. He studied all day long and rarely went out. I responded: "That's right. Please tell me about Zhao Fuling's affairs. The more detailed the better."
"Ling Zhao? Sir, the surname of Zhongche Fu Ling is Li." Lan'er asked doubtfully.
What's going on, Zhao Gao changed his surname? I asked in surprise: "Your surname is Li? Not Zhao? Isn't your name Zhao Gao?"
"My lord, Zhao's order was infected with cold during the emperor's third inspection tour, and he lost his salary soon after he returned. The emperor also gave him permission to bury him in Handan. Are you..." Lan'er became even more confused.
"Dead?!!!" What is going on? This historical deviation is a bit big. Such an important villain is gone? If Fusu is really established as the crown prince, then no one will stop me on my way to success. With Li Si's character, he shouldn't take the initiative to rebel. But don't be careless, what if Li Si is different from the history, or maybe this person named Li inherits Zhao Gao's "legacy".
Just as I was thinking wildly, a voice sounded outside the door: "Master, the Prime Minister has arrived."
Li Si? We are finally going to meet the second most important figure in the Qin Dynasty. Before I got up and walked to the door, I saw a middle-aged man with loose clothes and long sleeves and a miter walking in. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Li Si, pays homage to the Young Master."
I quickly helped Li Si up and said, "Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite."
Li Si showed a smile on his face: "Is the young master feeling better? Thanks to the emperor's great kindness, I have appointed the minister to take care of the affairs of the court. I have no time to come to visit the young master. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Si was a staunch supporter of Legalism, while Fu Su was deeply influenced by Confucianism. There is no record of a direct conflict between the two in history. However, it is speculated that Li Si conspired with Zhao Gao to correct the imperial edict, and I am afraid that the relationship between the two is not the same. It would be too harmonious. However, in the new century that I lived in, the idea of rule of law has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Perhaps the relationship between the Prime Minister and Fusu will usher in a new change.
Thoughts flashed through my mind, and I smiled and said: "I heard that my father attaches great importance to this great court meeting. I think the concentration on everything must be different from the past. The Prime Minister has many things to do every day and has work to worry about. I am no longer in any serious trouble."
Li Si replied: "In that case, I feel at ease," and then said seriously: "I have received the emperor's edict and handed over the clothes and items needed for tomorrow's imperial meeting to the young master, and asked the young master to prepare for the imperial meeting."
silence……
Silence is Fu Liang Palace tonight...
"Young Master?" Li Si asked carefully when he saw me looking directly at him, but he was thinking in his heart, "I heard that the Young Master's head seems to be not working well since he fell into the water. Is it true?" '
I was surprised and said, "No? Is that all Father said?"
Li Si wanted to scratch his head: "The emperor's edict has been conveyed to all ministers. Do you have any questions, sir?"
After listening to Li Si's words, I really wanted to rush into Xianyang Palace immediately, pull Qin Shihuang by the collar, and roar in his ear: "Tiamo, can you not only speak half of what you say!!!"
Last time he came to ask me about the prince in a fog, this time he sent Li Si to ask me to be prepared. What to prepare for? Prepare plastic bags to pack the leftovers tomorrow?
In desperation, I could only see if I could get some words out of Li Si. I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The Prime Minister hasn't been here for a long time. Why don't you have a cup of tea before leaving?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I'm troubled by this." Li Si wanted to refuse. There were indeed many things to deal with at the court meeting. Secondly, the emperor was more suspicious. Except for the subordinate officials and teachers of the prince's mansion, the rest of the ministers were basically He will not take the initiative to have too much contact with the two young masters. If he arouses the emperor's suspicion, his life may be in danger.
He knew something about tomorrow. Although he disagrees with Fusu's political views, judging from the current situation, he will become Fusu's minister sooner or later. How can there be an immortal person in the world? It is better to ease the relationship with Fusu in advance.
After Li Si and I sat down, Lan'er served the tea and I took a sip - the brewed tea was really hard to swallow. I was used to the tea-making method of later generations. For the Qin Dynasty's method of making tea, it was like making porridge. , it was not easy to adapt in a short period of time - put down the cup, looked at Li Si and said: "Prime Minister, does he know what father asked me to prepare? Will there be anything important for me in the court tomorrow?"
Li Si seemed to have already known what I was going to ask. He put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Young Master is the eldest son. He has a reputation for being virtuous. He naturally holds an important position in the court. As for the preparations mentioned by the emperor, I really don't know."
'Old fox! ’ I complained fiercely in my heart, this guy must know, otherwise how would he be qualified to be the prime minister. In this case, there is no need to get entangled, just take it one step at a time.
Giving Li Si an awkward yet polite smile, I said, "In that case, it doesn't matter. I heard that the Prime Minister is presiding over the revision of the "Qin Code" recently, and it will be promulgated after the Great Court Meeting. Is there anything I can do to help? busy?"
"Yes, the revision has been basically completed. It will be submitted to the emperor after the great dynasty meeting, and then it can be issued to the world. Why, the young master is also interested in the law?" Li Si asked strangely. This young master is famous for his belief in Confucianism. Why are you so concerned about the law?
'It's not just to win over you! Of course, I also advocate the rule of law, but I cannot change it too abruptly. 'I made up a reason casually: "I have read almost all the Confucian classics. Although I am not proficient in it, I still want to learn from other people's thoughts from a different perspective. The sea is open to all rivers, and it is great to have tolerance."
List paused and said, "What the Young Master said is absolutely true. If the Young Master is interested, the ministers will come back to ask for advice after the Great Court."
"Okay, then Prime Minister, go and get busy. Don't miss important events." I stood up and handed over to Li Si.
"Thank you for the tea, sir. I will take my leave."
Watching Li Si go out, I asked Lan'er to move the things in. After checking, there was nothing special. In my opinion, they were all black clothes with no decoration. In this way, we just have to wait for the court meeting tomorrow!
