This view made everyone silent for a moment. Don't tell me that this is really possible. After all, the First Emperor burned books. Who knows what was in the books he burned?
Three tombs, five canons, eight ropes and nine hills, these ancient Chinese classics from the pre-Qin period have now disappeared. They even only mentioned one sentence in "Zuo Zhuan: The Twelve Years of Zhaogong". King Ling of Chu praised Zuo Shi Yixiang: "It is a good history." Also, if you look at it well, you can read "Three Graves", "Five Classics", "Ba Suo" and "Nine Hills"."
From this we can know that these books are all historical books, and Confucius's "Preface to the Book of Documents" said: "The books written by Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi are called "Three Tombs", and they talk about the great road; Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Gao Xin (Ku ), Tang (Yao), and Yu (Shun), are called the "Five Classics"
In other words, the Three Tombs and Five Canons in these books are historical books, but the Eight Suo Jiu Qiu is unknown because there were no Eight or Nine Emperors in ancient times.
However, Kong Yingda brought by Yang Jian at this time said that according to his research, the "Preface to Shangshu" written by Kong Anguo said: "The theory of Bagua is called Ba Suo. Suo means to find its meaning." It means "the ancient archives" "Basuo" is the book of "Bagua".
As for "Jiuqiu", Kong Yingda explained: "The ambition of Jiuzhou is called Jiuqiu. Qiu means gathering, which means that all Jiuzhou, born from the land, and suitable for the customs, are all gathered in this book." He believes that "Nine Hills" The archive is the local chronicle of Kyushu in the Central Plains.
As for why "Feng", "Dian", "Suo" and "Qiu" were used to correct the names of the classics, there are different opinions, but the general explanation is based on the "Preface to Shangshu". The answer in "Shang Shu Preface" is that "grave" means big, "dian" means constant, "suo" means seeking, and "qiu" means gathering.
Li Si was there listening to these big guys discussing burning books and entrapping Confucians, and he had been collecting information there. After this period of time, he also understood that the identities of these people were already known clearly. But he didn't make any move and was still there collecting information.
As a Legalist leader who can sacrifice his whole family at any time, although it is a bit corrupt now, Legalism is still Legalism. He will not change his face even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, and his eyes will not blink when the elk rises to the left. This is what he still does. He arrived, and until now, no one except the emperors knew his identity, and they all regarded him as a big boss of Confucianism!
And to be honest, Li Si straddles both sides of Confucianism and Legalism alone. His teacher is Xun Qing among the orthodox Confucian leaders. This person is a real Confucian leader. After all, if he is a legal It is completely unimaginable that the family boss can serve as a wine sacrificer at the Jixia Academy of Qi State three times. It can be said to be one of the strongholds of Confucianism. Therefore, Li Si’s teacher Xunzi was generally considered a Confucianist during the Warring States Period. One of the leaders.
Besides, even the current Confucian bigwigs have a good relationship with him. No one can tell if he pretends to be a Confucian. As long as no one asks his name, as for which school he belongs to, it can be Let's put it this way, Li Si has no problem with the academic school. After all, he is also a Confucian. Although not many people believe this, even he himself does not believe it, but this does not prevent him and Kong Yingda from doing so. People communicate happily together.
After all, as long as you bring yourself into the Lu Ru sect, add some Mencius' ideas, and lower your IQ, you can happily play with them. It is so easy. As for all the information from these people's mouths, Got.
Touching his five-willow long beard, Li Si was a little surprised. Confucianism should really be played, deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism. I just don't know if these people can survive the siege of hundreds of schools of thought.
Looking at these Confucian scholars who had no strength in their limbs and no grain, Li Si laughed. They were really too weak. If they didn't wear armor, they could control the chariot with one hand and fight with guns. Confucianism does not recognize ability, and if one does not have the ability to kill a group of hundreds of people in foot combat with a single sword, he cannot become a master. After all, in this era, if he does not have this ability, how can he guarantee that he will be assassinated by other schools of thought? , survive?
Just like his teacher Xun Qing, he placed a pile of human heads at his door on the night when he went to Qi State Jixia Academy to offer wine. The bosses of this period were not invincible with words, but actually killed them. from.
If Zhu Ming's mentally ill Zhu Houzhao hadn't called his name, he would have brought down these later generations of Confucian brats. They were all good young people. These people reminded him of the Confucianism that everyone used When it's time to renew my life, I really miss the time. Whenever the Confucian family has a new member, they will start digging, and they haven't finished digging until now.
What a pity!
Kong Yingda, who had been confused by Li Si's trick to become his disciple, sat down on the ground after hearing Li Si's name, and then moved his body backwards using his hands and feet. He was startled.
Li Si, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, a legalist? If you want to worship him as your teacher, will you be beaten to death?
Except for the few elders who were brought here from the Ming Dynasty, the only people who surrounded Li Si before were a few prime ministers from the Song Dynasty. Those from the Sui and Tang Dynasties all stayed away from Li Si, who they did not dare to Dip.
The Song and Ming families had already begun to discuss the idea of restarting the Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought. Besides, everyone knew about the problems of Confucianism. At this time, there was a big boss who was a fellow practitioner of Confucianism and Legalism, and of course he had to rely on him. Through him, he could I know a lot of big guys.
After Li Si chatted with them for a few words, he came to the big bosses. Everyone had the same opinion about Li Si. This was the Prime Minister Zuo who founded the government and founded the family. He was the leader of tens of thousands of people. At this time, there were no Shangshutai and Sangong to divide his rights.
He is the real prime minister. Among the emperors present, there are not many who are confident that they can suppress him. Everyone called him here to tell him that the First Emperor's illness is cured and all the injuries on his body are healed. Yes, there are some discussions going on inside right now.
They came to Li Si to find out what kind of temper this Emperor Qin was, whether they could communicate with them, and whether there was any lack of etiquette when so many emperors were here to welcome him.
Li Si looked at these people, and he also understood what role Qin Shihuang played in the history books of later generations and what he had done.
He just said lightly, "The First Emperor will not kill me!"
