Damn it!
Young Master Hao understands us!
The mood of the doctors in the Doctor's Palace at this moment was as exciting as riding a roller coaster.
They originally thought that Zhao Hao was an enemy, but they didn't expect that he was actually a friendly army.
Sorry, Gongzi Hao, we admit, we cursed a bit loudly in our hearts just now.
Well, there are thousands of words to say, but let’s just say this: Chunyu Yue deserves to die, you are awesome Plus!
Just when the doctors' cheeks were red with excitement, the imperial veterans, princes, and grandsons in the hall were all dumbfounded, with disbelief on their faces.
"Brother Hao, why are you..."
Fusu looked at Zhao Hao in astonishment.
He knew that his little brother was bold, but such bold remarks were really shocking.
It shouldn’t be!
Didn’t Hao Di say that we are sure to win? Even if you can't win, you will be hanged by the people even if you die...
Hanging on the wall?
I wipe it!
It turns out that this is what Brother Hao meant!
Isn't this a big death? !
Fusu reacted and quickly stepped forward to grab Zhao Hao's arm, trying to pull him away.
However, at this moment, Li Si's voice sounded solemn and murderous: "Master Hao, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you hear that clearly?"
Zhao Hao held off Fusu's hand, took a few steps forward, and said word by word: "I said that the Qin Dynasty should 'depose all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism'. Did Li Tingwei hear clearly?"
Boom!
As if to set off the current atmosphere, there was a sudden thunderstorm and strong wind outside the palace, making everyone in the palace feel as if they had been struck by lightning and became very cold.
All the important ministers, including Li Si, could not help but be furious.
"This kid..."
A strong feeling of something bad came to Ying Zheng's heart, and his heart was trembling.
The picture of threatening Zhao Hao that day appeared in his mind.
Does this kid really think that I want to kill Zizheng as a tyrant?
I was just joking!
No need to work so hard!
What a coward!
What a stupid statement!
Where has your previous savvy gone? !
"Gongzi Hao, do you know what you are talking about?" Wang Ben stood up angrily.
He had a good impression of Zhao Hao just now, so he wanted to remind Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Hao said expressionlessly: "Marquis Tongwu is just laughing at me. I am only twelve years old. I am not old enough yet, and I am not clear-headed. I naturally know what I am talking about!"
"Confused!"
Feng Jie also stood up at this moment and scolded: "As a descendant of the Ying Qin royal family, how come you don't know the foundation of our great Qin country?!"
"Yes, Young Master Hao, we are our own people! Why are you helping outsiders?"
"Young Master Hao, are you being threatened? If so, just blink your eyes, we will support you!"
"Brother Hao, are you hungry? We'll treat you to dinner, so stop talking!"
"Brother Hao, come here quickly and eat some meat!"
Many veterans of the empire, princes, and grandsons showed regret on their faces and spoke out to persuade Zhao Hao.
Even Wang Wan and Zhou Qingchen did not expect that Zhao Hao would propose such a political opinion.
Depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism.
It's so shocking.
We can’t even think about it, how dare he do it!
In fact, Zhao Hao proposed such a national policy mainly to strengthen the monarch's power and promote the "divine right of kings".
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty advocated "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", which was to use Confucianism to govern the people and still use Legalism to govern the country.
In addition, Confucianism has an ability that other schools of thought do not possess, and that is its strong compatibility.
It includes some thoughts from Taoism, Mohism, and Yin Yang and Five Elements, and reflects the advancement of Confucianism with the times.
Many people in later generations criticized Confucianism because they did not understand the development process of Confucianism.
Just imagine, China has a civilization of more than 5,000 years, and Confucianism has existed for more than 2,000 years. Doesn’t that still explain the problem?
The Qin Dynasty's path of independence did not work. Why? It just lacks the softer side!
Could it be that those emperors with great talents and strategies in history couldn't see through the good and bad of Confucianism?
It is unrealistic to talk about so-called scientific concepts without facts. Because feudal society is no better than modern society.
A sage once said, seek truth from facts.
Confucianism consolidated feudal rule and would be respected in any feudal dynasty.
In the environment at the beginning of Qin Dynasty, stability was the most important thing.
There is no point in blindly belittling Confucianism, because the Confucianism during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not the kind of Confucianism that was modified by demons in later generations.
Besides, does modern rule of law not include Confucianism?
Look at the three good students we advocate in modern times? Four young people? What kind of Confucianism is involved in this? Virtue, OK!
However, no one during the Qin Dynasty could integrate Confucianism and Legalism, so Confucianism was suppressed by Legalism. This does not mean that Confucianism has no merits.
Zhao Hao's proposal of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" is a feasible strategy that has been proven by the times.
And it is very consistent with the unified thinking of the feudal dynasty.
However, there is another key point, and that is the dominance of Legalism in Qin Zheng.
You must know that the Qin government was governed by legalism. The difficulties Zhao Hao faced when proposing such a national policy were no less than Shang Yang's reform.
If it were a different person and a different time, even if Zhao Hao was the prince, this national policy would never be implemented.
Because changing national policy will affect the interests of too many people.
Just think about how Shang Yang died in the first place.
But things are different now. Not long after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he was full of domineering power and powerful throughout the country.
At this time, the First Emperor could be said to be invincible.
Why was Li Si successful? Isn't it just because the First Emperor supported him?
If this were not the case, his proposal to burn books would probably be strongly opposed by veterans of the empire and nobles from aristocratic families.
But with the First Emperor backing him, who dares to object?
Therefore, Li Si’s success is no accident!
He is luckier than Shang Yang, luckier than Zhang Yi, and luckier than Bai Qi and others, because behind him is the emperor of the ages, Qin Shihuang.
As long as Zhao Hao can convince the First Emperor, this national policy can be implemented smoothly.
But the First Emperor was a staunch supporter of Legalism, and it was not easy to convince him.
When Ying Zheng determined that Zhao Hao's shocking remarks had nothing to do with him, the previous protection, recognition, and love for the good boy seemed to be gone in an instant, and his whole face looked like the bottom of a pot.
"Say that again, kid?"
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he would beat up the traitor if he disagreed.
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that even the first emperor, who was so talented and resourceful, could not avoid the "Seven Wolves"-style education.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to change the way of thinking of the First Emperor.
Only by changing the way of thinking of the First Emperor can we have a chance to convince him.
Now that he has chosen to take this path, Zhao Hao must move forward even if there is 'father's love like a mountain' ahead.
There were two very important reasons for the demise of the Qin State. One was that the system was imperfect, which led to the intensification of internal conflicts; the other was that the ministerial power was too large and the central government's control over local areas was weak.
Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai acted as monsters, which was just a trigger.
If the system is perfected from the very beginning, internal conflicts are resolved, and ministerial powers are divided, even if the three of them act like monsters, an empire that has been established for more than ten years will not collapse.
Others in the Sui Dynasty had been tortured by Yang Guang for more than ten years, let alone Hu Hai who had only been in power for three years.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Hao smiled slightly and asked calmly: "Father, are you willing to listen to my son's discussion?"
