My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 24 What excuses are you looking for? It's all bullshit!
"It turns out that you think so. These words must have been taught to you by Cheng Yu."

"uncle?"

Ying Fusu's agitated emotions stopped, and his face was bewildered.

"What do I have to do with my uncle?"

Ying Zheng saw that Ying Fusu's expression did not seem to be fake, but he still had some doubts: "Really?"

"Not really!"

Ying Zheng nodded suspiciously, but he still doubted Ying Chengxuan.

Why are these words so similar to what that Zhu Zi said back then?

"You're right. I really intend to enforce the laws of Qin in the whole world. Within a country, two sets of laws cannot be enforced!"

"Father, you can't do this!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Listen to your advice, amnesty the world and restore the six kingdoms. Let the war that lasted for hundreds of years reappear. Is that the world you want to see? Your advice It will not make the world better, it will only make it worse!"

"No, father, my uncle once said that if you plant a grain of millet in the spring, you will reap ten thousand seeds in the autumn. If you amnesty the world, you will plant the seeds of benevolence in the hearts of those prisoners, and they will spread your benevolence widely. If you have no morals and no help, as long as the father occupies the morality, you will definitely not fail."

Sure enough, this scorpion is looking for trouble for me!
When Ying Fusu said the words "uncle once said", Ying Zheng's face darkened, and he immediately wanted to call Ying Chengxu to Zhangtai Palace immediately.

But the most important thing now is to teach his eldest son Ying Fusu, so he can only put the matter of calling Ying Chengxi aside for the time being.

Shuzi, you wait!

I'll deal with you later!
……

ah autumn~

"When did you catch the wind and cold? Tonight, you need to close the doors and windows tightly."

After sleeping all afternoon, Ying Chengxuan, who was watching the girl on the balcony, sneezed and rubbed his nose.

……

Ying Zheng said to Ying Fusu: "The birthplace of Confucius, the Lu State that was praised by the world as 'the rites of Zhou are all in Lu Yi' is gone. The Qi State that founded the Jixia Academy and gathered hundreds of scholars to study knowledge is gone. And In your eyes, the Qin State, which has lost its morality, will eventually rule the world. Just read the books of Confucianism, but you can't bear to study it deeply."

Ying Fusu said: "The reason for the fall of the State of Lu is that the king of Lu State appointed villains, and let the ministers Mengsun, Uncle Sun, and Jisun control the power of the State of Lu. The three of them did not know etiquette and did not understand benevolent government. This led to the demise of the State of Lu. The reason for the demise of the State of Qi was that Duke Kang of Qi was timid and fearful and surrendered without a fight, not that the State of Qi was weak. The State of Qi is close to the East China Sea, and the people are safe and prosperous. If Duke Kang of Qi mobilizes the entire State of Qi and State of Qin In the struggle, the final winner must be the Qi State."

Ying Zheng felt that Ying Fusu was really stubborn.

The facts are in front of our eyes, and we still have to use those rotten Confucian thoughts to forcefully justify them.

Reading is used to broaden horizons, not self-enclosed thinking.

Ying Zheng said angrily: "You should see clearly what your teacher did in the court today. You can see what kind of people Confucian scholars are and what kind of Confucianism is. I thought this would make you sober , I didn’t expect you to still be stubborn!”

There was light in Ying Fusu's eyes.

"There is nothing wrong with Confucianism's idea of ​​building a great harmony in the world. How can this vision be wrong to govern the country with benevolence, treat people with courtesy, and return the world to the prosperity of ancient times? What the teacher is doing in the court today is not Confucius or Mencius Taught. His behavior can only show that he is wrong, not Confucianism. When the father, Emperor Yao, was old, he did not pass the throne to his children, but abdicated to Emperor Shun. Even if you don’t see it, this created the ancient prosperous age, and the people’s life is rich and prosperous. The precedent is right in front of you, why does the emperor pretend not to see it?”

"It's nonsense! You are talking about "History of Zhou" and "History of Lu"! The abdication system is a big lie told by the Zhou royal family and the kings of Lu for their own rule! Have you read "Bamboo Book Chronicles", What is recorded there is the real history! "Bamboo Book Chronicles" records: Shun imprisoned Yao in Pingyang and took the throne. Shun released Yao in Pingyang. It means that when Shun gained power, he imprisoned Yao in Pingyang and refused to allow his son to meet him, so he became emperor. Let’s not talk about whether the world ruled by Emperor Shun is such that the people are rich and prosperous. Even so, in this way Emperor Shun, who won the world by means of means, is not the sage king that Confucianism says!"

""Bamboo Book Chronicle" is the history book recorded by Wei State, and "Zhou Shi" is the history book recorded by Zhou Dynasty. Wei State is just a feudal state of Zhou Dynasty. The authenticity of "Bamboo Book Chronicle" cannot be compared with "Zhou Dynasty" Compared with "History of Zhou". The reason why the father believes in the records of "Bamboo Book Chronicles" is because the father's world was obtained through war and fighting, and it was not right. If the Zhou royal family voluntarily surrendered to the father because of the father's virtue, The princes of the world voluntarily enshrined their father as their king because of their father's virtues, so his father must have recognized the existence of the system of abdication."

The focus of the debate between Ying Fusu and Ying Zheng is not whether the abdication system really existed.

It is whether the Confucian rule of benevolence can govern a country, whether it can govern a country well.

Ying Fusu wants to prove that the system of abdication exists, and the ancient prosperity is the best example of Confucian benevolence.Confucianism is not empty talk, it is well-founded, and he wanted to use this to persuade the first emperor to replace the rule of law with the rule of benevolence.

The first emperor's idea was completely opposite to that of Ying Fusu. He wanted his eldest son to give up the unrealistic fantasies of Confucianism.

If the abdication system does not exist, then even if there really was a so-called prosperous age in ancient times, it has nothing to do with the set of theories pursued by Confucianism.

The so-called rule of benevolence naturally becomes rootless water.

Gai Nie stood at the gate of the hall, waiting in full force, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

He was the only listener to the debate between the first emperor and the eldest son behind him.

This is the great trust that the first emperor had placed in him.

Gai Nie knew that this trust came from his previous master - Ying Chengxun.

It wasn't until this moment that Gai Nie knew that the relationship between Ying Chengxu and Ying Zheng was so deep.

So deep that even if Ying Zheng had never met him before, just because Ying Chengxun recommended him, Ying Zheng dared to hand over the secret guard responsible for secret protection to him.

So deep in this debate that apart from Yingzheng, the first emperor, and Ying Fusu, who is likely to become the second emperor of Qin, there should not be a third person present, Gai Nie can also stay here.

""Bamboo Book Chronicles" was recorded by the official historian of the Wei State. Li Kui, who wrote the "Fa Jing", also carried out reforms in the Wei State. The Wei State tended to the legalist theory, and the Legalists had always opposed the ritual system. None of the legal students advocated Benevolent. They themselves are not benevolent, so they think that there are no benevolent people in the world, so they changed the ancient Zen system into a dark power struggle. Father is a person who clearly checks right and wrong, so he should not be misled by those Dharma students."

Ying Fusu is still trying to persuade Ying Zheng.

The father and son have reached an impasse, and have been talking about this issue for half an hour.

Gai Nie knew that what he had heard was an important debate that could affect the entire state of Qin.

The outcome of this debate will determine the future direction of this emerging empire that has emerged from the chaos of war.

Therefore, he knew that he was doing a good job of guarding.

If you rashly open your mouth and participate in this debate, no matter what the result is, you may be killed afterwards.

But at this moment, his mind was filled with scenes of war and chaos that he had seen before.

The pungent fishy smell permeated the battlefield where arms and legs were scattered. The ground was red, and there was no blood to be seen.

The numb soldiers of the two countries were like walking corpses, mechanically and skillfully dragging the corpses on the ground and throwing them into the pit...

There is a big hole in the dilapidated thatched roof, through which sunlight and rainwater enter the house. This is the most complete house in this village.

After leaving the thatched hut, this large village that stretches for ten miles is full of ruins and no people inhabited...

On the fields with traces of reclamation, there is no millet rice, only weeds.

The grass grows three feet high one by one, and it stretches endlessly as far as the eye can see.

If you dig out the soil under the grass, you can turn over human bones with carrion.

The grass is watered with human blood, fertilized with human flesh, and the grass eats people in troubled times...

"Mr. Chang'an once said that Fa students are more effective than Confucian students." Taking a deep breath, Gai Nie, who was guarding the gate of the hall, spoke. He didn't want to see the chaotic world that has been turbulent for hundreds of years again!

Both Ying Zheng and Ying Fusu were astonished.

Although there were three people in the room, Ying Zheng and Ying Fusu were never ready for Ge Nie to speak.

"Wei Wenhou supported Li Kui's reform, so during Wei Wenhou's reign, Wei State ruled among the vassal states. Xiao Xiangong supported Shang Jun's reform, and all previous dynasties took Shang Jun's law as the foundation, so Qin State unified the world. And Confucius traveled around the world , but did not make a country truly prosperous and strong. Doesn’t this prove that legal students or Confucian students are more effective, and which one is more suitable for governing the country?”

Gai Nie didn't turn his head, turned his back to Ying Zheng and Ying Fusu and said that his behavior was not proper.

But at this time, the two people sitting opposite did not bother about Gai Nie's faux pas.

Ying Zheng thought about what Gai Nie said earlier, "Jun Chang'an once said", and this Zhu Zi changed his mind now.

But Ying Fusu frowned, and said softly: "Confucius said: 'Zhou Jian was in the second generation, and he was very literary! I follow Zhou.' It means that Zhou Li originated from the Xia and Shang dynasties. It is rich and literary. I Follow the rituals of the week. Knowing the etiquette and knowing the etiquette allows people to separate themselves from livestock and consciously derive morality. This is the role of Confucianism."

"The legalist theory took advantage of the situation when the world's rites and music were collapsing. It bound the people with laws and forced them to do what the laws said. One voluntary and one forced, and the superior and inferior were distinguished. In terms of results, the legalist theory In the prevalent state of Qin, the streets were deserted and the people could hardly see their smiles. In the state of Qi, where the Jixia Academy was established, the people on the streets raised their sleeves like clouds, sweating like rain, and kept laughing and laughing."

Before Ying Fusu finished speaking, Ge Nie's cold voice sounded again.

"But Qi State was destroyed by Qin State."

Ying Fusu said stubbornly, "That's Qi Kanggong's voluntary surrender!"

Ge Nie didn't have much reason to say, he only loved swords in his life, what he said before was still heard from Ying Chengxun.

At this moment, if he was asked to refute the well-read Ying Fusu, he really couldn't say anything.

But he has seen those miserable scenes during the war and chaos in the world, so although he can't say that Ying Fusu can't, he firmly believes that Ying Fusu is wrong.

At this moment, he felt that Ying Fusu was like Ying Chengxun who lost the sword fight with him.

It's not that the sword is not good, it's that I don't have enough food, anyway, there are always a lot of reasons.

It made him very impatient.

Especially now that he has to concentrate and control every move within thirty steps of Zhangtai Palace, he is even more annoyed.

Gai Nie was too lazy to think about it, and he couldn't think of it anyway.

He couldn't beat Ying Chengxu back then, and he couldn't beat Ying Fusu today.

He habitually replies to Ying Fusu with the words that he replied the most to Ying Chengxu at the beginning: "If you lose, you lose. Any excuses you make are all bullshit!"

　The debates in these chapters are a bit long-winded, but the basic framework of the Qin Dynasty is here. It is better to explain clearly in some places. The author is a new author, and readers are welcome to bear in mind!
