Qin Wangzheng's sincere words made Zhao Shu a little stunned. He knew in his heart that at this moment, it was an old father who said these words, not the king of Qin.
Facing Qin Wangzheng's earnest gaze, Zhao Shu nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will regard the eldest son as his brother!"
Zhao Shu said it beautifully.
But no one knows what he thinks deep down except himself.
He had given Fusu many chances, but Fusu gave up every time.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhao Shu agreed very happily, because from now on, the relationship between him and Fusu was only the blood relationship of the royal family, and there was no possibility of being a monarch or a minister.
After taking a sip of the old rice wine, Zhao Shu said bitterly, "Actually, the king should say these words to the eldest son, not to the junior general."
"The last general is just a warrior, but the eldest son is the successor that the king has high hopes for, the next king of the Qin Dynasty."
"The general's life has always been in his hands, in his thoughts!"
Taking a sip of herbal tea, King Qin Zheng smiled and said to Zhao Shu, "You and I are both smart people, so we shouldn't tell such jokes."
"From the beginning, I have regarded you as my nephew. Now that you have married Yang Zi, you are considered my son-in-law."
"Fusu refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and his heart was devoted to Confucianism. His abilities and methods were not enough to suppress the arrogant soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty."
"I have always seen that you support Fusu with all your heart, and I thought that as long as you, the monarch and the ministers, are united and you can make up for Fusu's shortcomings, you will be able to control the entire Qin Dynasty."
"However, Han Di and his party made me realize that you and Fusu are fundamentally different, and it is impossible for the king and the minister to be of the same mind."
"Fusu is very similar to a widower in character and is equally stubborn. Once Fusu becomes the crown prince, he will become the next King of Qin."
"He will definitely try his best to promote the Confucianism he insists on and use it to govern the Qin Dynasty!"
"I think you also know that except for the doctors in the Doctor's Palace, there is no one in the civil and military circles of the court, except Wang Wan, who supports me."
"Shang Jun has been reforming for more than a hundred years, and everyone in the Qin Dynasty is a legalist, or a staunch supporter of Qin law."
"Fusu's desire to govern the country with Confucianism is simply a delusion. He has no other way out than to single-handedly destabilize the entire Qin Kingdom except his own death!"
Hearing Qin Wangzheng's careless words not only did not relieve Zhao Shu's doubts, but instead became more serious.
After drinking the old yellow wine in one gulp, Zhao Shu pondered for a long time and said to Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, the general has a doubt. I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng chuckled, looked at Zhao Shu for a long time, and then said word by word: "You want to ask, since I know this, why do you still let Fusu become a Confucian disciple?"
"Um!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu nodded. He had some guesses in his mind, but he wanted to hear Qin Wangzheng's answer.
Taking another sip of herbal tea, Qin Wangzheng said in a deep tone with complicated emotions: "Do you know Marquis Wenxin?"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but be startled, then nodded and said: "I know something, the Prime Minister of Great Qin was in charge of Great Qin for twenty years!"
"Um!"
"After I ascended the throne, in addition to many masters, Marquis Wenxin also taught me a lot of knowledge and principles."
"The reason why I am what I am today is because of Marquis Wenxin. At the beginning, when I was in Yongcheng, I took the title of pro-government, and Marquis Wenxin wrote "Lü Lan" in Xianyang."
"The momentum at that time was so great that there was even a saying that one word of master is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
"At that time, Marquis Wenxin submitted "Lü Lan" to me. I knew what Marquis Wenxin meant and wanted me to use "Lü Lan" as the foundation for the governance of the Qin Dynasty."
"But at that time, I chose Shangjun's legal system!"
At this point, Qin Wangzheng changed the topic and said: "You, why did I choose Shang Jun's legal system instead of "Lü Lan" in the first place?"
"Back then, your teacher Li Si gave me a choice. Today you have expressed your thoughts and let me see what you have learned from Li Si."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Shu said without hesitation: "Because the King aspires to unify the world, and if he wants to unify the world, he can only adhere to the Shang Lord's legal system!"
"Not only because Shang Jun's legal system has been cultivated in the Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years, but also because Shang Jun's legal system is the strategy to unify the world!"
"The general has also read "Lü Lan". Based on the general's personal opinion, "Lü Lan" is more like the method of overlord."
"Well, that's the difference, so I chose Shangjun's legal system back then!"
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng also nodded happily: "But conquering the world and governing the world are completely different."
"The six kingdoms of Shandong will definitely be completely pacified in my lifetime, and Da Qin will be the only one in the Central Plains."
"At this time, the Shang monarch's legal system is no longer suitable for the Qin Dynasty. After hundreds of years of war, the Central Plains needs to recuperate and recuperate."
"This means that the next King of Qin will be a benevolent master when needed!"
"On the basis of Shang Jun's legal system and "Lü Lan", I saw a hope, which is to integrate Legalism and Confucianism, with Legalism as the bone and Confucianism as the skin."
"Even in this process, some Taoist Huang-Lao techniques will be mixed in, which will make it even more perfect."
"When the time comes, Great Qin will implement the method of inner sage and outer king!"
"Only in this way can the hatred caused by wars in various parts of the Central Plains be resolved, and the Great Qin be passed down for eternity!"
"But Fusu followed the Confucian Chun Yuyue and others, and only learned the Confucian small benevolence and small righteousness, but not the great benevolence and righteousness."
"He sets himself more as a Confucian gentleman, rather than as the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty and the next king of Qin."
........
Listening to Qin Wangzheng's talk, Zhao Shu was shocked. He did not expect that Qin Wangzheng thought so much before the Central Plains was unified.
The country was founded based on Confucianism and governed by Legalism, supplemented by the learning of Huang and Lao.
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng's words reminded Zhao Shu of the words of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty: The Han family has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way.
The one who messes with my family is the prince!
What a similar scene!
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhao Shu turned to Qin Wangzheng and said: "Unify the Liuhe with law, and transform the four directions with Confucianism, but this requires a person of great wisdom!"
"With the king's overwhelming prestige and peerless talent, he can naturally do this easily. However, the eldest son's ability is not that of a junior general, but of a middle-to-higher talent."
"He can't do this!"
"The eldest son, you have only two choices, either use Legalism to suppress everything, gather the power of the entire Great Qin, and use Great Qin's warriors to suppress everything."
"Either, completely abandon Legalism, restart Confucianism, and transform the world with Confucianism. Now it seems that the eldest son has chosen the latter!"
"The eldest son is self-aware, but unfortunately, he made the wrong choice."
