At this moment, after a conversation with Qin Wangzheng, Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel filled with emotion, and he also had some thoughts about China after the world was unified.
He knew in his heart that Great Qin, which had annexed the six countries and completed its territorial unification, needed to solve an unprecedented problem.
That is how the Chinese people, who have been hostile and hostile for hundreds of years and have formed various cultures, customs, and beliefs over a vast territory, form a deep identification with Yitong and Daqin.
To do this first, we not only need to change the survivors of the Six Nations, but we also need to change ourselves.
A hundred years ago, Wei Yang, adhering to the teachings of Zixia and the methods of Li Kui, went west to the Qin Dynasty and created the concept of legal system in the barren and backward Qin State.
A weak country suddenly became a powerful Qin in just twenty years.
In a time of great strife, the Qin State needs a strong legal system. Only in this way can Great Qin be built into a war machine.
This allowed Da Qin to gain a foothold in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and was finally able to annex the Central Plains.
However, this is different from the past.
Once the Qin Dynasty annexes the six kingdoms and the Central Plains is unified, people will surely feel at ease. At this time, Legalism alone is too domineering and harsh.
Like a carriage that has gone astray, it needs another force to neutralize it.
The king in front of him chose Confucianism. For this reason, he chose his eldest son, the next successor who he had high hopes for.
When the Legalists dominated the dynasty, he sent the next king of Qin to the Confucian court in order to change.
A fundamental change.
However, both Fusu and Confucianism disappointed Qin Wangzheng. Confucianism's ulterior motives and Fusu's ineffectiveness ruined the good situation.
Fusu's hopelessness forced Qin Wangzheng to travel throughout the Central Plains and patrol the world in the last ten years of his life.
It was hoped that after military unification, the culture would be unified to consolidate the imperial society.
After ten years of hard work, he left countless stone carvings in the places covered with his footprints, in which Confucian concepts shine.
Only when Confucianism and Legalism go hand in hand with some emphasis can the empire have a solid foundation.
However, it is a pity that Fusu and Confucianism did not understand the profound meaning of Qin Wangzheng.
"The Central Plains has been established. Books and carriages share the same track. We will unify weights and measures. We will govern the world through counties and counties. Legalism will be shaped and Confucianism will be united. What a great prospect!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu could not help but lament the far-sightedness of the Qin government. Although Da Qin finally annexed the world, the Legalist culture dominated by Qin law did not occupy an absolute advantage in the Central Plains.
Qi is close to the sea and enjoys the benefits of salt and iron. In the name of Jixia Academy, it gathers celebrities from all over the world and has a strong Confucian culture, forming the unique Qilu Confucian culture.
The Chu land is rich in products and has a vast territory. It has no worries about food and clothing, and is free and willful, forming a unique culture of witchcraft and ghosts.
The Qin Dynasty produced the Legalist culture dominated by Qin Law, but these three cultures were in opposition to each other, and the Legalist culture did not dominate.
As a result, after Qin Wangzheng annexed the Central Plains, he took the initiative to bow his noble head to Shandong Qilu Culture.
However, Shandong Qilu Culture regarded Qin Wangzheng's overtures as weakness and turned them away.
So, Great Qin launched book burning!
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhao Shu raised his head, looked at Qin Wangzheng, and said, "Your Majesty, Confucianism may not be suitable for Great Qin!"
"Legalism is strong, so we will transform Legalism. We, the Qin Dynasty, will dominate the world, so why do we need Confucianism to govern the country."
At this point, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said in a solemn tone: "What's more, the general thinks that there is no need to do this, Your Majesty."
"Our Great Qin needs Confucianism. It is Confucian's honor. If Confucianism cooperates obediently, our Great Qin will naturally provide the soil for Confucianism to survive."
"However, it turns out that Confucianism has evil intentions and does not care about the king's goodwill at all. The eldest son is what he is today because of Confucianism's deliberate actions."
"Since you are showing good intentions, we cannot let them bow their heads and submit. Raise the butcher's knife over there!"
"Kill all the Confucians in the world and seize their classics. We, the Qin Dynasty, can completely modify the Confucian classics and cultivate Qin Confucianism!"
These words were Zhao Shu's true thoughts at the moment. He knew in his heart that in history, Qin Wangzheng personally bowed his head and wanted to accept Qilu Confucian culture, but was rejected by Confucianism.
He taught the eldest son of Da Qin to become a Confucian gentleman, instead of Da Qin needing a prince. This shows that Confucianism has serious intentions.
Zhao Shu remembered clearly that after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the descendants of Confucius were given the title of Lord Wentong, which was extremely polite.
However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in Daze Township. Lord Wentong of the Qin Dynasty did not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, so he immediately defected to the rebels.
Become a guest!
Moreover, Zhao Shu was well aware of the despicable deeds of Confucius’ descendants in later Chinese history.
Seventy-two generations of domestic slaves, twenty-five generations of ministers!
The emperors of the Central Plains in the past dynasties all valued the descendants of the Kong family very highly and gave them great honor. However, the descendants of the Kong family were a mess.
Just surrender to the Chinese people.
Later, Duke Yansheng, who was endlessly favored by Chinese orthodoxy, surrendered to the Mongolian Yuan, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and even surrendered to the Japanese slaves.
It really makes people laugh out loud!
This is also the reason why Zhao Shu does not have much favorable impression of Confucianism.
Although he knows that Confucianism is good for moralizing all people, he still would rather spend a lot of money and bear the name of a butcher to recast the reasons for Confucianism.
When he was in later generations, he once saw a portrait. The Confucius in the portrait actually had a braid.
That scene had a great impact on Zhao Shu.
"Young Master Shu, your murderous intention is too great. This will not do you any good!"
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Qin Wangzheng said sincerely: "In this world, there is neither Confucianism nor Mohism. The influence of the world's outstanding learning has been too profound on the Central Plains and China."
"Your Majesty, the generals respect Confucius very much as a person, but he does not have a good impression of the current Confucian students."
"The Qin Dynasty rules the world, so naturally I, the Qin Dynasty, have the final say, who will be the most knowledgeable!"
Although the King of Qin was persuading, Zhao Shu was still stubborn. He knew in his heart that this was because the King of Qin did not know what Confucianism and the descendants of Confucius had done.
If Qin Wangzheng knew about it, the entire Confucianism would be wiped out from the Central Plains.
As thoughts swirled in his mind, Zhao Shu became even more murderous. He had never hated an unknown family as much as he hated the Kong family.
Even if they are from different races, they only have different statuses, but the Kong family is undoubtedly much more disgusting.
"Your Majesty, it is still too early to consider this matter. We, the Qin Dynasty, have just annexed Han, Zhao, Yan, and Wei."
"Qi and Chu are still among the great powers in the world, and my greatest enemy, Great Qin, is still there!"
"The general thinks that our Great Qin is still committed to annexing the Central Plains. The remaining matters will be decided after the Central Plains is unified, after brainstorming!"
