The shouts in Xianyang Palace gradually became fainter, and the First Emperor was awakened by the silence around him.
The pearls hanging on the crown of heaven clinked softly, crisp and loud.
After dividing the ministers, at least half of the venue for the previous court meetings was left. The Xianyang Hall, which was slightly empty, was almost full today.
The Emperor could all name these faces, but many of them were unfamiliar, as if he hadn't seen them in years.
[These people were all that Shuzi’s team at the beginning, and now they are also the ones who want to kill that Shuzi, haha. ]
[I just want to replace the enfeoffment with counties and counties, so that these people will no longer have fiefdoms, and the world will only have the state of Qin. ]
[Let these people no longer be able to stand on their own as kings and compete with the Ying family and seize our great Qin's foundation. ]
[I originally thought that what I did was already outrageous, but that Shu Zi actually wanted to exterminate these people so that they could enjoy glory and wealth in the present generation. ]
[My father said at the beginning that this Zhuzi has a fierce tiger in his heart, and that his heart is so crazy that no one in the world can match it. I still don’t believe it. It’s true. ]
"Fu Sheng."
The First Emperor called Shen.
"I'm here."
The Confucian leader, Dr. Fu Sheng, who had just followed the general trend and said "Your Majesty, His Majesty," stood up in response.
"Last time you said that I should unify and integrate the Qin Kingdom's carriages. I will tell you the pros and cons. I don't know today, but you can still stick to your idea."
Fulfilling the revenge of Confucianism is Fu Sheng's lifelong wish, and he will not hesitate to bear the infamy for this.
The three words "book to the same track" first appeared in Confucian classics.
"Book of Rites: Doctrine of the Mean": Today I got off the train on the same track and wrote the same book.
Fu Sheng was overjoyed. He crossed his arms in front of him and bowed halfway. He was awakened by the fact that the First Emperor did not like Zhou etiquette, so he hurriedly straightened up and bowed his head.
"If Your Majesty wants to unify the world, he must not only unify the carriage tracks, but also unify the uniforms. The carriages are on the same track, the books are on the same text, and the actions are on the same line, then there will be a prosperous age.
"In Taikang, all the books in the world have the same text, the carriages track the same track, and the people travel in the same direction. The cattle and horses are left in the wild, and the surplus food is in the acres. They travel in thatched cottages, and the outsiders are not closed. The people who meet each other are like relatives.
"Those who are in need rely on roads, so there is a saying from time to time that 'there are infinite people in the world.' I hope that your majesty will use this as a reminder of the past and create a glorious future."
As soon as Fu Sheng finished speaking, a young family leader with no official title stood up and pointed at Fu Sheng and cursed loudly.
"Ignorant and rotten scholar, the prince saved your lives, your majesty spared your lives without any gratitude, and still confuses the public with his evil words. The left prime minister said long ago that Zhou's rituals are not suitable for Qin, and Zhou's system is not suitable for Qin. Don't you listen to the words of left prime minister!"
[Oh, are you worthy of using Si as a shield? ]
Li Si's thighs exerted force and he was about to stand up for the second time.
Hearing Fu Sheng's words, his legs relaxed.
"I heard that someone laughed loudly when he got a fiefdom, saying that the feudal system was good for thousands of years. He hid behind the left prime minister and used the famous saying of the left prime minister to say that Zhou and Qin were different. Yu Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin, there were five more dynasties, but the world can have more ?Confucius said: 'Clever words make people look more beautiful, and benevolence is more fresh.'
"You have a hateful face, and a hypocritical heart towards Qin. There are few people who are more benevolent than clever words! The Analects of Confucius says: There are three hundred poems in it. It can be summed up in one sentence, saying: Thoughts are innocent. Don't you read the poem?" Don't you want to sing "Wu Yi"? I advise you to sing it three hundred times a day to think straight!"
From the debate on enfeoffment and the system of counties and counties, Chun Fu Sheng summed up a truth.
Explaining things thoroughly and going straight to the root without thinking about Chunyu Yue's judgment of the situation is the way to win.
The little family leader's debate ended before it even started. In terms of reasoning, how could he be able to explain it better than Fu Sheng, who had spent more than 20 years in poverty?
He didn't talk about reason and power, but he never expected Fu Sheng to be so unruly. He didn't follow the rules at all and just put the matter of using Li Si as a gun on the table.
The head of the small aristocratic family, who originally wanted to provoke a confrontation between the two families of Law and Confucianism, became angry from shame.
"We should kill all of you and bury them alive!"
Fu Sheng didn't know that Chun Yuyue was still alive, so he was exposed by the second head of the Xiaoshi family, who insulted others with his irresponsible words, and was furious.
"You want to see the power of my sword!"
Generals like Meng Tian and Li Xin who are fighting on the battlefield like this kind of challenge the most.
However, they pride themselves on their noble status, and many of the aristocratic families and aristocrats who claim to be the Qin people with the purest blood have long since lost the blood of Qin.
After saying that one should not lose etiquette before His Majesty, the Confucian scholar returned to his seat with useless words.
However, the poor speech of the head of this small aristocratic family does not mean that all the aristocratic families are poor in speech. It is just a brick thrown out to test the reaction of the First Emperor and the important ministers.
Seeing the First Emperor sitting on it, silent and impartial.
Yao Jia, who was the minister at that time and a famous nobleman of his generation, stood up and first bowed to the First Emperor.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, please restore the Zhou rites, replace the laws with rites, and use them to govern people."
Fu Sheng looked at Yao Jia with a look that was partly puzzled and partly happy.
Anyone who wants to restore the Zhou rites is my Confucian friend.
Then he bowed and said: "I second my opinion."
[The more knowledgeable you are, the more you don’t know how much you have, but the more sophisticated you are, the more you know, the more you know. ]
Li Si thought to himself, and the slight appreciation he had for Fu Sheng disappeared without a trace.
Wang Wan and Feng Quji looked at each other.
Wang Wan shook his head and said that His Majesty was in a bad mood at the moment and it was not appropriate to get involved in this matter. We should not say more.
Feng Quji nodded. The imperial censor, who was good at assessing situations, did not want to take sides today.
The First Emperor had always governed the country only by law, so he would not look down upon him now.
He said angrily: "It's ridiculous!"
Yao Jia chuckled and said, "Jia thinks what your majesty said is extremely true. Zhou Li should have died long ago."
Only then did Fu Sheng realize that Yao Jia was retreating in order to advance, and he spoke as soon as his expression changed.
But the famous name Yao Jia, who won the position of high minister and noble status with one mouth, is not the stupid little world lord just now. He continued speaking without taking a breath, leaving no room for Fu Sheng to speak.
"Zhou's rituals and Zhou's system are not suitable for Qin. It has nothing to do with who said it. It is a fact. Zhou ruled the country with rituals and perished, and Qin ruled the country with laws and perished. The books have the same text, the chariots follow the same track, and the actions are in the same order. All three are understood by Jia Guan. Not suitable for Qin..."
The daimyo's long speech had just begun.
The First Emperor made a statement.
"Gane."
"I'm here."
Yao Jia felt a sense of foreboding, and looked at the First Emperor's teasing eyes with a sudden chill.
"Grass edict: Remove Yao Jia from the position of Shangqing."
Yao Jia shivered, took a step back, and almost fell down.
All the officials were shocked!
Looking at the emotionless eyes of the First Emperor, they remembered that the First Emperor's nickname was Tyrant!
A tyrant who can kill courtiers outside Xianyang Palace, chop off their limbs and expose them to the sun in the courtyard for all the officials to see!
In the Qin State, except for the Tingwei and Fengchang nine ministers who have actual posts, the other ministers have empty posts without annual performance evaluation.
But in terms of remuneration, Shangqing and Jiuqing are exactly the same. Their annual salary is two thousand dan, which is the highest salary in Qin.
Those who can reach the position of Shangqing are those who have made great contributions to Qin and are absolute top candidates for the Qin State.
Yao Jia's position as Shangqing was achieved through his many great achievements, such as alienating the six countries and preventing them from joining forces to attack Qin, and leading Han Fei from Han to Qin, etc., and he sacrificed his life.
But it was so easy to be deposed, so easy that Yao Jia felt like he was in a dream. The daimyo couldn't figure out for a moment what he said wrong!
"Why are not you talking?"
The First Emperor asked in confusion, raising his empty hand lightly.
"continue."
Gai Nie, who was crouching at his desk and writing the edict, kept writing and wrote the edict exactly according to the words of the First Emperor without changing a word.
[After the young master left, His Majesty suddenly became much more murderous...]
"My lord, my lord."
Yao Jia said the word "chen" twice, and the thin sweat on his forehead made the most famous master of the world stumbled over his words and found it difficult to form a sentence.
Yao Jia did not dare to speak nonsense again before he knew why the First Emperor was angry and why he gave up and took the position of minister.
[Fortunately, I am not good at words. ]
The head of the little aristocratic family who had just stood up suddenly felt very happy that he could not defeat Fu Sheng. Burying his head, hiding his sense of existence.
[I am the first to object to Fu Sheng, why did my predecessors have nothing to do but I was dismissed! If it's not this, there must be something else. What's the difference between what I said and what that person said? What exactly made His Majesty angry? ]
[The books are written in the same text, the carriages are traveling in the same way, the journeys are in the same direction...the books are written in the same text! The book is in the same text! This is an edict! Your Majesty hates me for giving orders! Twenty-eight Qin officials also died in this way! How could I forget it! ]
The Daimyo who has a clear mind and is the most observant is not in vain after all, and he quickly reacted.
He knelt down and bowed his head and said: "I have made a mistake! I only drive on the same track and travel in the same ethics but not in line with the Qin Dynasty!"
With his head lowered and unable to see the Emperor's expression, Yao Jia paused for a moment to try to guess whether it was true.
He just wanted to refute Yao Jia's fusheng, but when Yao Jia had a chance to take a breath, he forgot to say it - this great Confucian was not afraid of being dismissed as a doctor, and he was afraid that Confucianism would be banned and Confucian students would be cheated.
I didn't hear the First Emperor's words, nor did I hear anyone else interrupt. Apart from the rustling sound of Ge Nie writing, there was only the pounding heartbeat in his chest.
Yao Jia knew that his guess was true, and hurriedly said: "The chariots in the four directions are different. It has been five hundred years since you came, and the tracks between the countries have been set long ago. To make them imitate the Qin chariots, all the tracks must be wiped out, which consumes manpower. The material resources are so huge that Da Qin has no spare strength.
"The same principle applies to the same practice. Folk customs in different places are different. People from Qin to Qi often have damp bodies and itchiness after the rainy season. During this period, the customs and people's appearance are best adapted to local conditions. If they are corrected, suffering and chaos will spread, and there will be no war. It’s chaos.”
After speaking, Yao Jia still knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground, lowering his head and not daring to make any movement.
This speech discusses the disadvantages of traveling together and traveling together from various angles. It is reasonable and well-founded. It is much better than what the head of the small family said before.
If he had not been deposed from the position of minister, Yao Jia would still attack the great scholar Fu Sheng. Celebrity debates have always been extremely aggressive, and their beauty is to render people speechless.
He would say that Confucius founded Confucianism to restore Zhou rituals, and the destruction of Zhou Dynasty by Qin proved that Zhou rituals were ineffective. What can Your Majesty hear from a doctrine that promotes a failed dynasty?
He will never be as content as he is now.
"Yao Jia's name is well-deserved."
Suddenly, an old man's voice rose from the seat at the back to praise Yao Jia, whom the First Emperor hated.
Wang Wan trembled and raised his head slightly to look at the First Emperor.
[How could your Majesty tolerate him entering the court? ]
Li Si resisted the desire to raise his head.
[Your Majesty, what did your Majesty talk about? Is this okay? ]
Everyone followed the news and wanted to know who dared to stroke the tiger's beard and speak for Yao Jia when the First Emperor was angry.
When I turned around, I didn't see him, because he didn't get up and spoke first.
The courtiers were even more surprised.
[Your Majesty is so majestic, how dare you offend the power of Heaven! ]
The ministers observed the First Emperor's face while waiting for the speaker to get up - if he did not want to die.
When the man with a voice older than Wang Wan stood up, everyone couldn't help but whisper softly.
That's why this person dared not show his true face to others in this solemn court meeting, and covered his face with a black scarf that only left his eyes open, as well as his mouth, nose, and breath.
The man was talking as he stood up.
"You can reach the top of the world with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. However, your words are the shame of famous people. The speculation of famous people is to investigate the truth of heaven and earth, but you only show the power of your words.
"Gongsun Longzi said Li Jianbai, Huizi said the same thing, but they are all the science of governing the world. But Yao Jia, who forgot the learning of his ancestors and only had one word of benefit in his eyes, is a waste!"
Praise first and then disparage.
If you want to restrain, you must first promote.
The words behind the veil made the ministers think so. How could anyone dare to disobey His Majesty's thoughts at this moment?
Seeing that the First Emperor did not reprimand those who wore hijab, they all wondered if this was another mouthpiece of the First Emperor, otherwise there would be no reason why they would not be punished.
[It seems that His Majesty is determined to drive on the same track and travel in the same direction. There is no way to stop this...]
Yao Jia's masticatory muscles bulged and he clenched his teeth tightly.
For many years, no one had said that about him.
Ever since he became famous, famous people all over the world have always been proud of him. At this time, his status as a famous person was the highest, and he never stopped making such sarcastic remarks.
If he hadn't dared to raise his head because of the overwhelming power of the First Emperor, he would have turned around and faced the liars at this moment.
If he had known that the person who stood up had a black turban on his face, which seemed to be the Emperor's tacit approval, perhaps he would be able to calm down a little at this moment.
The person wearing the hijab stood up with support on his waist, and the officials judged that he was not young by looking at his old, wrinkled hands and his movements that did not look like he was pretending to be old.
The veteran Meng Ao was bored out of his mind with nothing to do after hearing what was done to Ying Chengyu. He is not interested in government orders at all and does not touch them.
The veteran's philosophy is very simple. Everything that has nothing to do with war is a bird's business. What does a bird's business do to Naigong?
But when he first heard the voice covering his face, he immediately became excited and turned his head to look at where the voice was coming from.
If his grandson Mengyi hadn't held down his feet, the veteran would have stood up to see who had spoken.
"Father! This is the court meeting!"
Meng Yi was impatient and quickly whispered a reminder.
"Nai Gong knows, don't make any noise!"
The veteran replied impatiently, his eyes still staring at that place.
When he saw the man standing up, the veteran almost stood up again.
Fortunately, his grandson didn't trust him very well and was already prepared. He firmly pressed his legs and kept reminding him of the word "Chao Hui".
The veteran had a complicated expression and cursed.
"Why is this birdman not dead yet?!"
Meng Yi glanced at the masked man and then at the indifferent First Emperor.
He whispered: "My eldest father knows this person? Who is he?"
"Ask a bird! If you don't want to die, just shut up!" the veteran said angrily.
The aloof First Emperor didn't seem to want to see the farce happening below, nor did he want to let the people below him make random guesses.
Then he said: "Jiang Shang, if you don't agree with Yao Jia's words, just tell me what you think."
After letting out a laugh, the Eternal Emperor said in a deep voice: "What you say makes sense, I worship you as my prime minister!"
I recommend a history book that everyone can read.
