My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 135 Book Burning, Everyone Don't Live!

Not talking about the criticism of Confucian scholars, but talking about the world, is to expand the scope.

If you want me to play it right, it is because of me that I just said that Confucianism should be banned, and I want Si to continue to expand.

"Those who can criticize the imperial court are all descendants of a hundred families."

Li Si chanted loudly, he had already figured it out.

The mind of the first emperor is just like what Ying Chengxun said, don't think too much, just do what the first emperor ordered.

Because of thinking too much, he couldn't see the deep meaning behind the first emperor.

Just like today, Li Si thought at first that it was the catastrophe of Confucianism, and then he thought that it was the first emperor who was teaching his children. Only now did he realize that the first emperor was not only targeting Confucianism, but all schools of thought.

"The Prime Minister Zuo's remarks are absurd. Today only Chunyu Yue and the Confucian scholars remonstrate, why come to his family for evil?"

The fire that originally only burned on Confucianism was drawn to hundreds of schools by the first emperor and Li Si's words inexplicably.

The officials were not sitting as securely as before, and one of them stood upright in an instant to refute Li Si.

Ying Fusu wanted to speak out to defend Confucianism, but Ying Chengxun put his arm around his neck and sealed his strange meridians with the other to prevent him from speaking.

"Walk around, drink with uncle."

While talking, he hugged the helpless Ying Fusu and returned to his original seat.

As soon as Ying Chengxi's expression changed, he got up and walked towards Ying Fusu, so he was able to stop his eldest nephew in time.

"Today we can only be Confucian scholars, what about the past? Zongheng Hou said that His Majesty is not filial, and Guo Wei said that His Majesty should not share wealth and honor."

Zongheng Hou Dunruo had already left, but Guowei Weiliao was still sitting firmly in the Xuanniao Hall.

Li Si fired at Wei Liao. If Wei Liao, the No. 1 military officer of the Great Qin, had no temper at all, he would not be able to get along in a warlike country like Great Qin.

Under the eyes of the ministers, even Wei Liao, who hadn't started the dispute between the enfeoffment system and the county and county system, didn't get up.

Sitting on the seat with a gloomy face, he said: "It's been eight years since I said this. At that time, the old man didn't know His Majesty. His words were too much. Zuo Xiangruo insisted on reversing the past, but I still remember that you were Lu Buwei's rebel seat Almost a visitor."

Facing Wei Liao's counterattack, Li Si calmly said: "Of course. Si didn't recognize Lu Buwei clearly, and it's true that he worshiped under his sect. Guo Wei didn't recognize His Majesty's heart, and it's true to say that His Majesty is narrow-minded. "

His Majesty stood behind Li Si, and he was confident in saying this, but the old man couldn't.

To entangle with him is tantamount to entanglement with His Majesty, as long as it can't continue.

Wei Liao closed his old eyes slightly, nodded and sighed softly: "It's true, it's also wrong, it's the regret of my life."

Li Si's main purpose of provoking Wei Liao was to make an example to the monkeys, and he didn't want to argue with Qin Chen one after another on the matter of "a hundred schools of thought criticize the court".

Wei Weiliao, who is number one in martial arts, is no longer arguing, so why do you have to argue with the prime minister, Si, who is the number one in literature?
The effect was also expected by Li Si.

As expected, the ministers kept silent, and no one interrupted him on this question.

"Confucian students, or Mo students, or famous students, or Dharma students, etc. For example, many people can be said to be born in a hundred families, and they can also be said to be scholars. If Xianyang is like this, what is the world like? If you leave Xianyang within three days, you will be able to Some scholars use what they have learned to argue about right and wrong. They think that what they say is different from ordinary people, and they criticize randomly when they go in and out."

"Qin Law didn't write that he was punished for his words. Prime Minister Zuo wants to set a precedent for this, so that the people of the world can't speak?"

Qin Chen stood up and interrupted Li Si's words.

Wearing a doctor's suit, he is Cui Guang, a doctor of Taoism.

Taoism will let nature take its course, and the king will rule by doing nothing.

To put it simply, the farmer sows the land well, the butcher kills the pigs well, and the luthier talks about the piano well.

As long as everyone in the world does their duty well, there will be peace and prosperity.

As long as the king does nothing, the world can be ruled, and the person who promotes it is Shun of the Five Emperors.

In Cui Guang's view, what Li Si said is wrong based on the knowledge he has learned is not in line with Taoism.

Scholars study for the sake of understanding, and preventing scholars from discussing these things is like preventing farmers from farming, which is against nature.

"Speaking is innocent, but bewitching is guilty. These scholars were only dissatisfied with their words in Xianyang and did not dare to mess around, but when they arrived in the Six Kingdoms, they took the lead in fabricating rumors and denying the Qin government. They also opened schools and used their distorted thoughts to privately According to legend, it was taught to students, so that the six countries still refuse to accept my Great Qin, and bandits are everywhere. So, what does Dr. Cui want to see?"

Tang Bing, who is also a doctor of Taoism, pulled Cui Guang, who was going to continue speaking, back to his seat.

Cui Guang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Although Li Si's words clearly set a trap, he was trying to block Cui Guang's mouth, so that Cui Guang could not answer his willingness, but Cui Guang's knowledge is not fake, so he has a way to answer.

Tang Bing said in a low voice: "Today, what Li Si said is natural. Like water flowing downhill, fish swim in the water. Brother Cui blocked it with his body, blocking the water flow and throwing the fish ashore, which is not in line with Taoist principles."

Cui Guang thought lightly, glanced at Shi Huangdi who had returned to the main seat, and sighed softly: "Brother Tang's words are very good, I haven't found out yet."

Cui Guang sat down again after saying a word, and talked with Tang Bing for a few words before standing up again, all the officials noticed.

The officials would not think that Cui Guang was afraid of Li Si, or defeated Li Si - if Li Si could defeat everyone in one round, he would be so weak that he would quickly give up the position of Marquis Zongheng.

But the ministers will think that there must be some problem that they don't understand, so they dare not act rashly on this issue.

Wei Liao is my Great Qin Military No. 1. Cui Guang and Tang Bing are all well-known representatives of Taoism all over the world.

Even the three of them don't want to continue arguing with Li Si, but want to wait, so am I qualified?
"Scholars teach the scriptures and spread ideas to resist and criticize the government of the Great Qin Dynasty. The rule has become the norm. These scholars use the past to be different from the present, and deceive the public with evil words. Such illegal things, even the court officials used it It is normal. Is this possible? Not possible!"

"The root cause of all this is that the six countries have just been unified, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rebuilt. The academics are too free, the thinking is not unified, and the social atmosphere is bad. If it goes on like this, His Majesty's power will decline, and the rebellious forces will change. Great, it will also destroy the stability of Qin."

Not all Qin Chen judged the situation, and some Qin Chen wanted to stand up and refute Li Si's words.

Most of them were pulled back by their friends as soon as they made a move, and the ones who stood up the most were no more than half their body, and were dragged back to their seats by their friends.

The more Li Si discussed, the more obvious the expression of expectation on Shi Huang's face became.

The officials are not blind, they can see.

No matter how much they disapproved of Li Si's remarks, they had to let Li Si finish his sentence.

Because the First Emperor wanted to hear it.

With the acquiescence of the first emperor, Li Si talked in the Xuanniao Hall for a whole cup of tea time about the serious consequences of criticizing the court's crimes for the court, and the disadvantages of opening up the mind to the Great Qin.

"...Therefore, my minister Li Si, please ask the historian to burn all the history books that are not about the affairs of Qin. All the books in the world, such as "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Mozi", "Gongsunzi", etc., should be sent to the county guards , The county magistrate burned it, and only kept medical, divination, agricultural and other books to pass on to the world. Except for the government, no private lectures are allowed in all places, and those who violate it will be killed."

After finishing speaking, Li Si bowed halfway.

The attitude is very sincere and pious.

His attitude towards the first emperor is like a believer facing the gods he serves.

The First Emperor nodded, and said with deep sympathy, "What Li Si said won my heart very much. If you have no objection, then follow what Li Si said. Li Si, you and Wang Wan go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together."

"The minister has objections."

Wang Wan and Li Siben disagreed with each other on politics, and now they heard Li Si admonishing him to make enemies of the literate people in the world.

After Li Si finished speaking, he immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty has the majesty of His Majesty, and the order of the court can be gradually established and perfected. Why burn all the books? There are no books in the world, so how will the people of Great Qin deal with themselves?" ? How to cultivate oneself? How to secure the country for His Majesty?"

Li Si answered immediately.

"Can't live without books? The right minister might as well go to the folks to visit and see how many people have books. If you don't read books, you can't stabilize the country? I am a great Qin warrior, and I am invincible. How many of them are literate? What about seniors? Self-cultivation depends on the law, and it depends on the laws of Qin to stipulate what we can and cannot do in Qin. , but left books such as medicine, divination, and farming for the common people to learn and develop. Is what you said wrong?"

With Wang Wan leading the way, Li Si had finished expressing his thoughts, and Qin officials one after another began to challenge Li Si one after another.

From the day when the first emperor of the Xianyang Palace did not pursue the fault of Kui Xing, the officials knew that the first emperor did not dislike discussions, but disliked discussions with selfish intentions.

"According to Prime Minister Zuo, isn't it true that people in the world are illiterate? What's the use of keeping medical, divination, and agricultural books? Who will announce the Qin Law? Who will judge whether the Qin Law is true or not?"

Li Si smiled and said: "This statement is completely different from your thinking. It is because the world is illiterate, and the only copies of books are in the doctor's department. If the common people want to learn medicine, divination, agricultural books, know Qin law geometry, understand Qin law What to say, you must ask the government. Isn't this to enhance the prestige of the government and enhance the majesty of your majesty?"

Another Qin official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is appropriate. There are so many people in my Great Qin Dynasty, how can the officials teach them all? What's more, books on medicine, divination, agriculture, etc. are all books that need to be studied carefully. You can’t learn it all. And the books that can survive to this day are all books that are of great benefit to the world. Burning them will cause dissatisfaction in the world, and the hearts of all people will be disappointed.”

Li Si replied: "Although there are tens of millions of books in the world, there are very few who are beneficial to the world. If the books in the world are burned, all the people of our Great Qin Dynasty will be educated in the court. What's wrong? If there are books in the world, the world will People's words, deeds and thoughts are all there, regardless of good or bad, no distinction between good and evil, regardless of pros and cons, how can the prestige of the court survive, isn't it because of small mistakes and big evils?"

The court officials continued to criticize Li Si.

However, Li Si had experienced the baptism of the enfeoffment system and the county system, and it was not the first time he was so inexperienced in this situation.

And this time is different from the last time, Li Si's remarks are correct in terms of Qin's orthodox principles.

The reason why the people of the world hate the first emperor and the reason why the six kingdoms are in turmoil is because they know too much.

For example, Zhao Guo, remembering the burial in the Battle of Changping and the "Zhao people will never surrender to Qin" in the Battle of Handan, how could they have a good impression of Qin?
How to solve it?

Just make them forget it.

Burn all the books, don't let them remember.

Do not rely on words, do not rely on books.

Just relying on memory, how long can you remember things?

And this is the root cause of Qin's power.

This is the case with Qin's farming and war policy.

This is also an important idea in Shang Jun's book.

Why are most of the Qin court outsiders?Because the state of Qin does not allow teaching at all.

Qin's game is farming, fighting, farming, fighting.

What do you teach?What are these people doing to be literate?If he is literate and understands things, doesn't he have thoughts?Then don't you stop listening to the court?Wouldn't it be very easy to control?
What about the implementation of the court policy? Can't all be reckless?Even if the emperors of Qin were all kings in the past, a king who died exhausted would be no match for the smartest people in the world, right?

Simple.

Recruitment.

I don't cultivate talents, so it's okay if I poach talents from other countries?
Come, come, come, my country of Qin is thirsty for talents.

As long as you come to my country of Qin, house, land, woman, dignity, I will give you whatever you want.

What the Six Kingdoms can give you, I, Qin, can give to you, but what the Six Kingdoms cannot give, I, Qin, can still give!

And the more and more talents are gathered, it is only for one generation, because the Qin State itself has no soil for the birth of talents, and the Qin State does not allow you to run teaching.

Your bullpup is yours, and I can give you a house or a land and a woman, but you have to remember one thing, don’t play with me in schools or the like, I don’t need you to train me talents.

This has led to South Korea having five generations of Zhang's Prime Minister Han, but what about the Prime Minister of Qin or Xiangbang?Not to mention the same family, there is no one who came from the same school.

Shang Yang, Fan Ju, Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei, all eight of them can't beat one piece.

There is no soil for talents to be born, and the high treatment in Qin State has always been there, and it has never been saturated, so talents from all over the world have gone to Qin State one after another.

Then don't think that people in this era will be restrained by ideas such as national honor and disgrace.

Because what era is the Warring States Period?When Lu Buwei did not attack the next week, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period was essentially the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The world respects Zhou.

People in the world can actually be said to be Zhou people.

This is probably the meaning of the discussion, and the original intention of the enfeoffment system is not to split the country.

Transnational work, in the eyes of literati at the time, was equivalent to working across provinces, so it was nothing unusual.

When Ying Zichu decided to destroy Zhou, it was when he thought that Qin could swallow the world.

The Qin State implemented such a policy, developing its own military force, digging wisdom from other countries, and then killing other countries.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that there are not enough officials to control and lay down the territory.

If the State of Qin had a systematic talent training plan, it would be fine to directly transfer talents and place them in the conquered cities, but he didn't.

Generation after generation of his ministers have been poaching.

The normal solution is to separate the packages and let everyone take care of them together.

The abnormal solution is to burn books and let everyone stop living.
