Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 45 There is no right or wrong in the world, only the balance of interests! (Seek to follow up)
Hu Hai looked solemn.

It was the first time he saw Ji Heng so serious.

He thought for a while, and said in a concentrated voice: "Is your statement a bit exaggerated? Is Confucianism so difficult?"

"Great Qin burned books related to Confucianism, and Confucianism was almost expelled from the court. After the eldest son came to power, even if Daqin is the ruler, Confucianism and ministers? But the courtiers believe in the legal system, how can they allow Confucianism to come back?"

"Great Qin can't tolerate Confucianism."

"There will be no room for Confucianism in the future!"

Ji Heng sneered, and said coldly, "I said before that law is Confucianism."

"What is the law of the monarch, Confucianism and ministers, Confucianism on the outside and the law on the inside?"

"That's just wishful thinking."

"It can't be done at all."

"Perhaps the previous generations of monarchs could maintain the so-called Confucianism and ministers' law, or the Confucianism outside the law, but the so-called lies are too much, and some people will take it seriously. Once there is a generation of monarchs, they don't realize that the Great Qin What he did was domineering, and the benevolent government was really implemented at the beginning, and the legal system of Daqin also collapsed."

"At that time, the so-called legal system became a human system."

"Everyone has their own thoughts."

"Without fairness and justice, is it still law?"

"The majesty of the law is lost, and the biggest beneficiary of the law, the emperor, will also lose its majesty."

"Further."

"It's just a repeat of Zhou Tianzi's loss of office."

heard.

Hu Hai's expression changed drastically.

He had thought that Ji Heng's words were alarmist, but when he heard Ji Heng's deduction, he couldn't help sweating from shock.

He thought of his elder brother.

The Great Qin established the country with the law, the father and the emperor taught so much, the eldest brother is still close to the Confucian scholars, if the eldest brother is in power, how can the Confucianism lose its power?Once Confucianism gained power, the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty might become chaotic laws.

Thinking of this.

A trace of resentment flashed in Hu Hai's eyes.

He felt more and more that his father chose his eldest brother or it was a mistake.

Ji Heng finished eating the remaining japonica rice, wiped his mouth, lay lazily on the ground, patted his stomach, and continued: "Actually, you are not wrong, the first emperor is indeed conscious, so he has been doing something for the past few years. Targeted."

"Burning books, killing alchemists, Confucian scholars, etc."

"Daqin wanted to use Confucianism, but he only wanted to use Daqin's own Confucianism, not the Confucianism of Confucian scholars."

"But it can't be done."

"Xunzi is the last great master of Confucianism."

"I even sacrificed wine for the prestigious Jixia Academy, but Xunzi's position of offering wine has never been secure. He has been back and forth three times, and was finally driven away by the Confucian scholars in the academy. .”

"Xunzi is the master of Confucianism, and he is not yet seen by the mainstream."

"What about Qin Zheng?"

"In the late Warring States period, Confucian scholars who practiced Confucius and Mencius had already gone on the wrong path. They regarded all Confucianism different from Confucius and Mencius as heresies, and even willingly expelled such masters."

"And what do these Confucian scholars know about Confucius and Mencius?"

"It's just for my own self-interest under the guise of Confucius and Mencius."

"It completely deviates from the original intention of Confucius and Mencius."

"They opened up private schools in various places, and spread the knowledge of Confucius and Mencius they understood to the four places. Development will inevitably expose the loopholes in the knowledge they teach."

"Confucian scholars honor their fame and profit."

"How dare they recognize Xunzi as a master of Confucianism?"

"Besides, after Confucius and Mencius, the disciples who firmly adhered to Confucianism all took the wrong path, because their knowledge was not so advanced, they refused to devote themselves to learning, and they couldn't be ashamed to ask questions, and they wanted to make money earlier, so most of them chose Believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius, and at the same time specialize in studying and echoing various yin and yang theories, in order to be able to justify it."

"So when the first emperor arrested alchemists, he also arrested many Confucian scholars."

"Because the two are one."

"This is also the reason why the number of Confucian students arrested is not high, but the Confucian doctors and bachelors in the Doctor's Academy are facing a formidable enemy, even abandoning the high-ranking and generous salary to flee."

"Of course, the first emperor killed alchemists and Confucian scholars, in addition to deterring Confucian scholars and driving Confucian scholars from the court, there was a more important reason, to withdraw the right to interpret the 'Mandate of Heaven'."

"Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, many alchemists and Confucian scholars have been summoned to study rituals and music."

"Finally came up with a set of five virtues that always say."

"The five virtues of Daqin always say that you should know the content better than me."

"The reason why the first emperor did this was actually for one purpose, to tell the world that the return of the world to Qin is not only what everyone expects, but also the destiny of heaven."

"In my opinion, it is actually to prove the 'regime legitimacy'."

"Orthodoxy!!!"

"However, this set of theories comes from the theory of Confucian scholars and alchemists. As I said before, the theories of Confucian scholars have always been specious, and there is no final conclusion. It just makes people feel that there is some truth. What happened, the final right of interpretation is actually in the hands of these people.”

"thus."

"These people must die!"

"The right to interpret what the five virtues always said must be in the hands of the court."

"The reason why the alchemists and Confucian scholars were killed on such a large scale this time actually had two purposes. One was to take the opportunity to eliminate the alchemists and Confucian scholars who participated in the 'Five Virtues Always Talking'; Suppress the influence of Confucianism, and then realize the follow-up law of Confucianism and ministers."

"So originally it was only necessary to kill dozens of alchemists and Confucian scholars, but the two purposes were superimposed, and in order to avoid being noticed by others, and to arouse Confucian panic, the number of murders increased to more than 400 people in the end."

"There are many things in the world that have nothing to do with right or wrong."

"It's just weighing the stakes."

Everything is quiet.

Hu Hai was stunned.

He never thought that there would be so many ways to kill Confucian scholars and alchemists.

But he thought about it carefully, and it seems that among the alchemists who were murdered, there were indeed people who participated in the ritual and music customization back then, but among the more than 400 people, the dozens of alchemists and Confucian scholars who participated were really inconspicuous.

And it's been nine years.

If Ji Heng hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't even have remembered it.

Fusu's heart trembled slightly.

Now he can fully understand his father's idea of ​​killing alchemists and Confucian scholars.

The only thing is the device and the name, not a fake person.

It is related to the "Mandate of Heaven" of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it is also related to the "benevolent government" of the Great Qin Dynasty in the future. How can the power of interpretation be left in the hands of Confucian scholars?Confucian scholars are good at making noises and have great influence among the people. If one day they say that Qin has lost his destiny, the turmoil it will cause is unimaginable.

Fusu looked scared.

He never thought about the influence of Confucianism in the world.

But according to Ji Heng's talk, he has come to his senses.

Confucianism is different from other theories. It teaches that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. You can even teach you a few pieces of dried meat. After hundreds of years of dissemination, the influence of Confucianism has already spread all over the world.

Mohism and Taoism, which competed with Confucianism at the beginning, were unable to accept students very early because of the high threshold for admitting students.

Coupled with the split of Mohism, Huang-Lao’s studies have had no masters for a long time, and the decline is obvious. If it is true as Ji Heng said, Fa and Confucianism will gradually merge in the future, and sooner or later the world will become Confucianism.

Think of this.

Fusu's face suddenly turned pale.

　Ask for the data, it was ruined by the same period.
