However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny!
After Fusu carefully checked the newspapers sent from various places in his study, he frowned and felt deeply uneasy!
Without him, the opposite is happening in various places today, and there is turmoil.
Thinking of the future uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the rise of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and other heroes, Fusu couldn't help but worry about it, and analyzed the reasons behind it.
The six kings are complete, and the world is one!
Behind the great achievements of the First Emperor was a devastated empire!
First, after the six kingdoms of the Central Plains were unified by the Qin Dynasty, many nobles from various countries longed for their old kingdoms and did not really surrender. They just reluctantly surrendered under the pressure of the First Emperor!
Now that the First Emperor has passed away, these people will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cause chaos and try to revive the Six Kingdoms.
Secondly, the First Emperor burned books and harassed Confucian scholars. Although to a certain extent it eliminated the signs of "disrupting the world with literature", many of the ideas of various schools of thought have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
It will take time for them to identify with Da Qin and bow their heads.
The third and most important point is.
That is the heavy tax imposed by Great Qin!
Head tax, land tax, corvee...
As the saying goes, harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, and the Qin Dynasty has always advocated strict legalism in governing the country. If there is a slight mistake, severe punishments will be imposed, making the people unable to bear the burden.
For example, in the famous Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, a group of people faced beheading just because a heavy rain missed the corvee. Isn't this forcing people to rebel?
There are also the famous Lianzu and Shiwu systems, which treat the common people as if they are nothing...
"Eh…"
Fusu put down the bamboo slips and sighed.
The joy of just getting the system reward is gone!
Facing the devastated and huge empire, he felt deeply troubled... but it also stimulated his fighting spirit!
"First Emperor, the troubles of Great Qin do not lie with Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, nor with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but with... Great Qin itself!"
He couldn't help but sigh.
When the first emperor was still on the throne, even if the people were filled with resentment and the princes were disloyal, as long as this eternal emperor still sat on the throne, he could suppress them for the rest of their lives and prevent them from daring to act rashly!
This is the deterrent brought by the First Emperor to bring down the six kingdoms and unify the world again!
The world hates him, curses him, and scolds him, but more importantly, there is fear that goes deep into their bones.
But he had already passed away, the chains that tightly trapped the tiger had been broken, and a huge chaos had begun to brew. Fusu could even sense that the undercurrents in various places were about to surface.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms, old and young, are gearing up.
The mob is watching the situation
Various schools of thought lobby all directions
…
"First Emperor, you alone control a country and dominate the whole world. But now I don't have your achievements and majesty. I can only use the system to save the endangered Qin Dynasty!"
Fusu slapped the table and said, "Order Li Si to come into the palace to discuss matters!"
"yes!"
The eunuch waiting on the side immediately nodded respectfully, turned around and went out to summon him.
After a while, Li Si, who had just escaped from the gate of hell, hurried over and knelt down in front of Fusu with a plop, shouting "Long live the mountain."
"Li Si, the sinner, comes to see Your Majesty!"
At this time, Li Sijuan no longer dared to regard Fusu as the weak and bullied eldest son.
Break the conspiracy, secure Xianyang, and kill Zhao Gao...
With all these things, he really looks like an emperor!
He felt more and more that this eldest son was really the son most like the First Emperor. How could he have been deceived by lard in the first place and listened to Zhao Gao's lies?
Fusu didn't notice Li Si's inner drama and went straight to the point.
"Li Si, I want to ask you, the empire is now in chaos. The shortcomings are the harsh criminal laws and excessive taxation. Can we reduce taxes and bring peace to the people?"
These words immediately shocked Li Si and his face suddenly changed!
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"oh?"
Fusu frowned and motioned for him to continue.
As a legendary figure in Legalism, Li Si stood up staggeringly, looking excited.
"Your Majesty, the reason why our Great Qin Empire is what it is today is because of martial arts! The reason why martial arts is prosperous is because of taxes. If there are not enough taxes, our Great Qin's tiger and wolf divisions will not be supported. How can we suppress the rebellious people?!"
Fusu said with a cold face, "Then what if the people can't bear the rebellion?"
"Then kill!"
Li Si, who weaved the stringent laws of Qin in a poem, raised his hand and dropped it heavily!
"Anyone who causes rebellion and destroys the three tribes, and anyone who violates the laws of the Qin Dynasty will be punished with the five punishments of Mo, Ji, Ji, Gong, and Dapi. If there are collaborators in the court, their homes will be confiscated and they will be demoted to slaves for eternity. Not allowed to turn over…”
Fusu clicked his tongue and said that he was worthy of being a master of contemporary Legalism. With this opening, he had already asked about the stinky smell of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
"Li Si, if you really want to forge the king's order and murder the eldest son according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, what kind of punishment will you receive?"
When Li Si heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he knelt down and kowtowed!
"Your Majesty, Li Si deserves to die for his crime! He deserves to die for his crime!"
According to the crime of rebellion, he would be cut in half in a busy city with no chance of surviving!
Fusu, who was sitting high on the high seat, waved his sleeves, his emotions and anger were invisible.
"Get up, I don't mean to blame you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Si, who was covered in cold sweat, stood up tremblingly. His heart was in a state of confusion and he didn't know what to say.
He was determined to make meritorious deeds, but the attitude of the new emperor made him unpredictable.
"I would like to ask you, what is the reason for the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty?"
"This... the criminal thought that the punishment was not severe enough to make those untouchables fearful. Otherwise, how could they dare to cause trouble?"
"Big mistake!"
Fusu snorted coldly, stood up, and walked down the steps slowly, showing no anger or authority in his movements, which made Li Si even more heartbroken.
But he didn't understand either.
"If this were not the case, how could the people dare to cause chaos?"
"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it. If I treat my people like pigs and dogs and slaughter them at will, how can the people regard me as their king and father? How can they not rebel?"
These words were like thunder, exploding in Li Si's heart!
Water can carry a boat but also capsize it!
These words were like thunder, splitting the fog in Li Si's mind. He never expected that this emperor would put himself below the people. He was an emperor with great dignity!
With everyone from all over the world kneeling in submission, he actually regards ordinary people as the water that carries him?
"This this…"
Li Si stuttered for a moment and couldn't speak a word.
"Back then, there were constant wars all over the world. In troubled times, we should use heavy rituals to restore dignity, and use severe punishments to frighten Xiao Xiao. This is naturally right. This is why the First Emperor can use you so highly!"
Fusu was not in a hurry or panic, and spoke eloquently.
In troubled times, important rules should be used. Seeing the emperor speak for him, Li Si felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
But he was quite puzzled.
"Your Majesty, aren't we still in troubled times today? The rebellious officials and traitors in the world are becoming more and more rampant. If we don't use heavy laws, how can we govern?"
Fusu spoke slowly.
"Rest with the people."
