Yong Temple.
Fusu sat on the table.
He was a little absent-minded and kept thinking about Ji Heng's words.
One word awakens the dreamer.
He had not figured out some things before, but after Ji Heng's explanation, he gradually figured it out.
Ji Heng's three speeches may seem unrelated, but in fact they are not.
What he was talking about was one direction, the Great Qin's response to the great changes in Zhou and Qin's history.
Fusu said in a deep voice: "Zhou and Qin were the great changes of the ages."
"Under this great change of the ages, because the emperor lost his palace and learned from the barbarians, the princes of China began to strive for power and began to actively reform, and then the laws and regulations appeared, so that everything in the world was different."
"The whole world is suffering together and fighting endlessly."
"The First Emperor's majestic talents and strategies conquered the world in ten years. However, the world has been divided and ruled for hundreds of years, and each region has already had its own cultural system. How difficult is it for the Qin Dynasty to truly achieve unification?"
"At the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, hundreds of officials began to offer suggestions."
"This is how the feudal war between counties and counties began."
"The enfeoffment is governed by customs, while the counties are governed by the law and the official system."
"However, the root cause of the division of the world lies in the different laws, and the foundation of the great Qin's strength lies precisely in the law."
"So Da Qin can only choose counties."
"This is also the reason why veteran officials such as Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Cai Ze, and Huang Jingxiu resigned one after another after the county system was decided."
"It's not that they have selfish motives, but that the monarch and his ministers have different opinions on governance."
"If the old ministers are still here, they will definitely delay state affairs."
"I have no choice but to resign."
"At the beginning, many old ministers resigned one after another, but it was due to outside speculation that they had participated in the compilation of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" in the past and were jealous of the First Emperor. This time they were seized of the opportunity and were forced to resign. Because of this, Shi Huang The emperor also gained a reputation as a person of intolerance and revenge."
Think of this.
A wry smile appeared on Fusu's face.
He remembered that he had begged for mercy for Wang Wan and other veterans.
It was only stopped by the First Emperor who considered state affairs as the most important thing.
He was very angry at that time and thought that the First Emperor was unreasonable.
However, the old Prime Minister Wang Wan has been in power for more than ten years, and has assisted the First Emperor for more than ten years. He has been serving the Qin Dynasty for more than thirty years. He has spent most of his life working with the Qin Dynasty and has always worked hard. He has never done anything other than the country. If a matter is not decided according to Qin's law, the achievements here are no less than those of Wang and Meng who wiped out the six kingdoms on the battlefield. How could the First Emperor really not know?
The main reason why the First Emperor allowed the Prime Minister to resign was because of the political alienation between the monarch and his ministers.
And this.
It can be seen in the memorials to the enfeoffed counties.
Fusu lowered his head, opened the bamboo slips on the case, and found the duel between Wang Wan and Li Si.
Wang Wan's memorial was based on the current situation, believing that the implementation of the enfeoffment system was more conducive to the rule of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, Wang Wan's suggestion was approved by the vast majority of officials. Even Li Si did not directly deny Wang Wan's views on the current situation. To judge, we can only start from the lessons of history and point out the possible hidden dangers of the enfeoffment system.
As a result, there was never a winner in this debate.
It was just for the First Emperor to make an arbitrary decision!
Fusu Mingwu said: "Because of this, Wang Wan and other senior ministers have never been convinced. In order to avoid subsequent delays in state affairs, the First Emperor could only choose to let these senior ministers fade out of the court, so as not to affect the normal operation of the court."
"At that time, no one dared to judge whether it was right or wrong."
"Just based on Ji Heng's judgment, my father is probably right."
"Because the Zhou Dynasty performed rituals."
"And Qin is the law!"
Fusu raised his head and sighed softly.
He couldn't help thinking now, how great it would be if Ji Heng's words could have appeared in the palace at that time. Maybe he could convince Wang Wan and others. If Wang Wan and other veterans did not fade away from the court, maybe the current situation in Great Qin would also change. Very different.
However, Fusu also knew that at that time, the world had decided that the Qin Dynasty had just stopped fighting and had the idea of civil governance. How could it be so profound?
But this is ultimately a pity.
Fusu continued to look through the bamboo slips, and when he saw Chun Yuyue's words, "Those who do things that are long-lasting without following the ancients are unheard of," a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Put it before.
He will think this statement makes sense.
But after experiencing Ji Heng's baptism, looking at these pedantic arguments, I just feel disgusted in my heart.
Especially when he saw Shu Suntong's undisguised selfish remarks, he sneered and said: "The chaos has begun, the world wants to be governed, and the refugees want to return. We, the common people who travel to study, feel the pain of the world being out of order. It turns out that Each one will be a good helper, so that the four directions can be ruled and the head of Guizhou can return home?"
"Looking through the poems, I found that the poems written by Confucian scholars were all selfish and not public-minded at all."
"More than two hundred Confucian scholars wrote a letter, and they all unanimously supported the enfeoffment, and no one had any objections. I didn't even notice this strange behavior of disregarding any resentment and letting go of prejudices."
"I, Fusu, am really ignorant of people."
Fusu's eyes showed regret, he closed the bamboo slips and said in a cold voice: "Except for a few of the Confucian scholars in the Doctor's Academy who have real talent and knowledge, most of them are just a bunch of idiots. He felt that his talents were extraordinary, even pretentious, and he sought to divide the world among himself so that he could find a place for himself."
"There is no blame for people seeking to establish themselves in life."
"But they play with the world's plans and use the people to discuss the will of heaven, but they only seek their own selfish interests. They are really a group of selfish people."
"How can such a selfish person be entrusted with such an important task?"
"When I was young, I, Fusu, took Confucian scholars as my foreign teachers, and later I was willing to associate with Confucian scholars, but I ignored too many facts. After I got older, I found it difficult to take on big responsibilities, and even almost messed up the political affairs with my small benevolence. I, Fusu, have also done this in the past. They are pretentious and think that as long as they practice benevolent government, they can rule the world, but in the end they are deceiving themselves and others."
"There is good and evil in the world, people have interests and disputes, political reforms and restorations are in place, and schools have their own laws. The first king and the last king."
"I am the eldest son of Da Qin, but I am willing to favor one family."
"It's too short-sighted after all."
"Father, in order to govern the world, he dares to make his old ministers retire, and he dares to bear the infamy of burning books and humiliating scholars. I, Fusu, am a son of a man, how can I dare to be an unfaithful and unfilial person again?"
"The same way leads to tolerance, but the different paths lead to tolerance."
"Today's world is still that old country. My father relied on tyranny and tyranny to let the idea of unification take root in the hearts of all people. But if the seeds can eventually grow strong, we cannot tolerate this old country and gather a bunch of people again." Insects, ants, snakes and rats will destroy leaves and branches, otherwise the foundation of the Qin Dynasty will rot."
"When the world is overturned, won't it mean that we have failed in our efforts?"
"I, Fusu, can no longer waver, let alone retreat and compromise."
Fusu puffed up his sleeves.
It stirs up the surrounding dust and reveals everything under the sunlight.
Fusu quickly turned over the bamboo slips. Now that he had understood the essence of this dispute, he could easily see the overtones.
Not long after.
Fusu has read them all.
This controversy finally ended with the sixteenth character of the First Emperor.
The rule of counties and counties is based on the outline of the official system, which centralizes power and governs all directions.
Fusu looked at it deeply for a few times, pondering it in his heart, and then completely closed the bamboo slips.
He has seen it all, and there is no need to look any further.
