The next day.
In the prison of Yushi Mansion.
Ji Heng went to the remote hut again.
Hu Hai had already sat down at the table, and when he saw Ji Heng arriving, he also said hello.
Ji Heng stood up and bowed, sitting in a familiar position.
On the big case in front of him, there was still a copper plate. Just like the meat dish last time, it was still a few pieces of mutton.
Ji Heng's focus was obviously not on eating, but on the wine bottle in the middle of the copper plate.
Is there wine again today? !
He looked at Hu Hai with a strange look.
He sat down on the table upright.
Da Qin banned alcohol.
Generally, drinking in Guizhou is legal only on the first day of the new year.
In addition, there are some festivals of great significance, or the emperor declares universal celebration, and ordinary people can get extra opportunities to drink.
Counting it down in a year, it’s only three or four times.
As for whether you can actually drink it, it depends on your actual situation.
Young Master Ji was able to get wine in just one day this time, which is a bit surprising given his status.
Ji Heng thought about it for a while and didn't want to think about it any more.
He is about to die, even if he guesses the true identity of 'Mr. Ji', what's the use?
How joyful is life, and how painful is death?
If you have wine today and get drunk now, this is the joy of the rest of your life.
He picked up the wine flask on the plate and took a few sips, feeling relieved both physically and mentally.
Seeing Ji Heng's unrestrained drinking appearance, Hu Hai shook his head speechlessly, feeling that letting Ji Heng drink these royal wines was really a waste of these fine wines.
Ji Heng did not have this consciousness. He drank a few sips, put the wine bottle aside, and started to eat the mutton. Finally, he remembered what he was going to do on this trip, and said casually: "Mr. Ji, the question I left for you earlier, you Have you figured it out now?"
Hu Hai shook his head neatly.
Ji Heng was not surprised.
He doesn't care either. He has a drink or two and tells a story. As for what he tells, he doesn't care.
As long as there is wine, it is enough.
Hu Hai's expression was as usual. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it, but he really didn't have a clue, and he wasn't used to thinking by himself. In addition, Ji Heng was about to explain, but after thinking for a while to no avail, he gave up and concentrated on waiting for Ji Heng to explain.
Ji Heng drank by himself and said with a contented look:
"Since Mr. Ji has no clue, I will explain it in detail today."
"It's still early and there's still enough wine."
Ji Heng moved his body, found a comfortable angle, leaned his back on the big case, and then said: "I said before that the most direct problem of Da Qin is the conflict between the cultural systems of Guanzhong and Guandong. The most intuitive thing is that Qian Shou Wei Ji and the old aristocrats rebelled against the law."
"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has been trying to spread the system and culture of the Qin State to the six places."
"It's just that the cultures of Guanzhong and Guandong are completely different. If pushed hard, it will definitely lead to various conflicts and contradictions."
"He is even hated by the whole world!"
"The imperial court believes that local Guizhou leaders are unruly and lawless."
"The head of Guizhou believes that the Qin court is cruel and unkind."
"The two are in constant opposition."
"After all these years, this issue has not been resolved."
"It's even getting worse."
"Now it has reached a point where the survival of the Qin Dynasty is endangered."
"So the court will definitely change."
Hu Hai frowned, as if remembering something, and said thoughtfully: "So you said that the First Emperor would use Confucianism."
Immediately, Hu Hai shook his head again and denied:
"wrong."
"Is there any sign that the imperial court wants to use Confucianism?"
"Last year, the imperial court ordered the burning of books, and the most damaged books were Confucianism."
"This year, Confucian scholars were slandered in the streets and were directly ordered to be killed. Although there were some alchemists and nobles like you among them, the number of Confucian scholars was the largest. At present, the Confucian scholars in the city were caught and escaped. So, There isn’t much left, how can there be any trace of it being reused?”
"You are clearly lying to me!"
Hu Hai was a little annoyed.
He felt like he was being played.
Ji Heng was very calm. He raised the wine bottle and took a sip. Then he sat upright and chuckled:
"The fact that you can say this shows that you really put your heart into it in private."
"You just said one thing wrong."
"Da Qin will use Confucianism, but not Confucianism."
"Is there any difference between the two?" Hu Hai asked doubtfully.
Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai lightly and said, "Yes."
"You're actually right."
"In the past two years, Da Qin has not been polite to Confucianism."
"Not only did they burn and ban books, but they also banned private education. This year, they even launched a large-scale prison edict and imprisoned hundreds of Confucian students."
"Judging from various signs, Da Qin is indeed following Li Si's letter."
"'Your Majesty now has the world, no matter whether it is white or black, but one is determined; and private education is a system of mutual agreement and non-religious teaching... If this is not forbidden, the power of the master will be lowered from above, and the party will be lowered. If it is prohibited, please Those who have literature, poetry and books written by hundreds of schools of thought, Juan (juan) will eliminate them... If anyone wants to learn, take the officials as their teachers.'"
"Immediately depose hundreds of schools and only respect magic!"
"But that's just the appearance!"
"It took the Qin Dynasty nine years to establish the country, and it took more than nine years to push Qin's laws to establish the Qin Dynasty?"
"However, nine years have passed. Not only has Guandong failed to integrate into the Qin Dynasty, but it has become increasingly resentful towards the Qin Dynasty."
"This is enough to prove that forcing the people of Guandong to accept the cultural system of Qin will not work. Continuing to use a high-pressure attitude to force Guandong to accept will only lead to greater disasters, and even force the whole world to rebel. How is the First Emperor? How can we not see the characters?"
"So it's exactly the opposite of what you understand."
"The reason why the court targets Confucianism is to activate 'Confucianism'."
"It's just that this 'Confucianism' is not the 'Confucianism' in your mind, let alone the 'Confucianism' advocated by Confucian students."
"It's the 'Confucianism' created by Da Qin himself!"
"To be precise, it's a layer of 'rupi'!"
"Da Qin will use Confucianism with rituals and music to appease the people of Guandong and ease the conflict between Guanzhong and Guandong cultures."
"But that's why."
"Confucianism must die!"
"What Da Qin wants is the Confucianism of Da Qin, not the Confucianism of Confucianism."
"Confucian scholars are good at agitating and building momentum. If Confucianism is not completely eliminated from the court and its influence in the court is not eliminated, when the court adopts Confucian rituals and music in the future, these Confucian scholars will definitely take advantage of Confucianism's ability to cause trouble. , will definitely cause a lot of turmoil in the world."
"This is not what Da Qin wants to see."
"In fact, these will not cause Confucian scholars to be tricked and killed."
"As for why he was tricked and killed, that is actually the answer to that question."
"The one who kills me is Fusu!"
"Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to expel the Confucian students from the court, but precisely because of Fusu's existence, the Confucian students must die."
"At least the First Emperor wants these scholars to die!"
"I'm actually just a small fish in the pond that was affected."
Hear the words.
Hu Hai frowned.
He understood some of it, but was still confused by some.
He pondered for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why did the First Emperor have to live and die as a Confucian scholar?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ji Heng's lips and he said: "Because the First Emperor will not implement benevolent government, there are other people who can truly implement benevolent government!"
