"My dear friends, now that Xiaozhuan has come out, do you want to promote it immediately?"
After taking a sip of the tea brought by Meng Yi, Qin Wangzheng spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
As soon as these words came out, all the officials fell silent. Fusu and the doctors were extremely excited, but Meng Yi, Li Si and others had hesitant expressions on their faces.
The advent of Xiaozhuan is naturally a great joy, and the promotion of Xiaozhuan is also a great thing. However, if the time is right, good things can turn into bad things.
"Father, Xiaozhuan has been simplified. I think it should be promoted immediately. This will be conducive to the spread of various schools of thought."
Fusu broke the silence. He turned to Qin Wangzheng and said, "I believe that the simplicity of Xiaozhuan will soon replace Dazhuan and become the main text circulating in our country."
"I agree with the eldest son's request and ask the king to issue an edict to replace the large seal script with small seal script to add a sense of culture to the Qin Dynasty!"
At this moment, seeing Fusu taking the lead, all the doctors also spoke excitedly.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"
At this moment, Meng Yi hesitated to speak, Zhang Cang smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zhao Shu watched the changes quietly, and only Li Si stood up.
Anyway, he has nothing to do with Confucianism and has no fear in his heart. Moreover, he is loyal to the government of the Qin Dynasty. This small seal script also has his hard work.
He didn't want these people to ruin Da Qin's good situation, and he didn't want Xiaozhuan to be impacted and lose the chance to spread throughout the world.
As soon as Li Si opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Fusu was very surprised, and the eyes of the doctors were full of resentment.
This is an opportunity to make a name for yourself.
Just let Li Si cut it off!
Zhao Shu, Meng Yi and Zhang Cang on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Wangzheng's mouth, and then quickly stopped. He also did not agree with the promotion at this time.
But he is a king. It is impossible and cannot end at this time. If the king ends up fighting hand-to-hand, there will be no way out.
This is a great damage to the royal power.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Qin Wangzheng spoke up and said, "What are your thoughts in Aiqing's mind? Why don't you tell me in detail?"
"Your Majesty, this small seal script naturally needs to be promoted, and it is also necessary to replace the large seal script with small seal script. However, the time is not ripe at the moment."
Li Si had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but considering the presence of all the doctors, he could only say tactfully: "I think that in Great Qin, the government and the public should work together to put the process of annexing the world above all else."
"Although Han, Zhao, and Yan are now destroyed, the two great powers of Chu and Qi are still there, and the State of Wei and the Sheji Ancestral Temple of Wei State are still there."
"As the saying goes, you have to eat your meal one bite at a time and walk the road step by step!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Qin Wangzheng General looked at Zhao Shu and said: "Gongzi Shu, what do you think about this matter?"
Sensing everyone's gaze, Zhao Shu smiled bitterly, and then said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, I finally agree with what Chang Shi said!"
"The last general is a military general, and what he considers is war and military affairs. The current environment is indeed not suitable for promoting Xiaozhuan!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu glanced at Fusu and the other doctors, and said, "The general thought that the small seal copy should be preserved, and then he could compile history with the Department of Culture!"
"Decades have passed since the Qin Dynasty annihilated the Zhou royal family. I, the general, believe that as the overlord of the Central Plains after the Zhou royal family, I have the obligation and responsibility to compile the history of Zhou and pass it on!"
Zhao Shu's move was not because he wanted to inherit the culture of the Zhou royal family, but because he didn't want to see these doctors relax.
These people are talented, but they are unable to govern. Book repair is indeed a good place to arrange these people.
"Revising history?"
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Qin Wangzheng, the doctors, or even Li Si and others, they were a little shocked. In this era, book repair is a big deal.
People who are not great virtuous people cannot cultivate books!
Because of this, not only were the doctors not dissatisfied, but their faces turned red with excitement. They saw the opportunity to leave their names in history.
In this era, there are historians.
However, historians always record the current dynasty, not the previous dynasty.
This is also the story of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the story of Xia and Shang on the land of the Central Plains. It has been passed down to this point, leaving only a few words.
"Um!"
Zhao Shu nodded and explained to Qin Wangzheng, "Your Majesty, when Zhou Wangji is breached, it means that the Zhou royal family will be destroyed!"
"The royal family of Zhou was destroyed by Da Qin. Naturally, Da Qin is qualified to compile the history of Zhou and conclude its coffin."
"It is also a kind of inheritance, letting future generations know that before our great Qin, there was a dynasty named Zhou, to warn future generations!"
"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible!" At this moment, Zhang Cang stood up.
He probably understood Zhao Shu's intentions and the benefits of doing so, so he stood up to support Zhao Shu.
"The compilation of history is conducive to the inheritance of culture, which is a good thing for the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, after the death of Zhou Dynasty and the succession of Qin Dynasty, compilation of history also represents an orthodox inheritance."
"Compiling the history of Zhou means that we, the Great Qin, have taken over the responsibility of the Zhou Dynasty and governed the Central Plains. As the latter, we, the Great Qin, should seal the coffin of the former!"
At this moment, Li Si also stood up to support, saying: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to compile the history of Zhou Dynasty. All the doctors are great talents and have profound knowledge. I think you are qualified for the job!"
"Your Majesty, I also agree that the Department of Culture should be responsible for compiling the history of Zhou Dynasty. I have seen the performance of all the doctors these days."
At this time, Meng Yi also stood up and said to Qin Wangzheng: "With the talents of all the doctors, I believe that they will definitely repair the history of Zhou and make it pass on for generations to come!"
"Well, it is indeed necessary to revise history, but..." Qin Wangzheng was overjoyed. He naturally knew the intentions of Zhao Shu, Meng Yi and others, but he could not make it too obvious.
For this matter, it is best to let the doctors come and request it. In this way, he can just use Po Xia Donkey to hand over this important task to the Department of Culture.
Compiling history is a arduous task, and it is by no means as easy as simplifying the seal script. It is also very good to let these doctors work for Da Qin so as not to waste their salary in vain.
Seeing that Qin Wangzheng was hesitant, the doctors couldn't sit still. They knew that they were talking softly, so they all looked at Fusu and signaled to Fusu.
"Eldest Young Master..." Seeing that Fusu was indifferent, he couldn't help but give a reminder.
At this moment, Fusu also turned to Qin Wangzheng and said: "Father, now that the simplification of seal script has been completed, the Department of Culture is also free."
"My son thinks that the Secretary of Culture is idle, but all the doctors are talented and knowledgeable. They have compiled the history of Zhou Dynasty, no need to talk about it!"
Having said this, Fusu said in a deep voice: "My son, I would like to assure my father that the Department of Culture will definitely complete this important task and make the history of Zhou a success and spread it to the world!"
At the same time, all the doctors spoke one after another in an impassioned tone: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to compile the history of Zhou Dynasty to inherit the culture of the Central Plains. I will not hesitate even to the death!"
