Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 46 Who will rebel first in the world? (Seek to follow up)

Ji Heng stretched his waist, shook the jug, drank the wine in one gulp, and sighed: "There are some things in the world that don't depend on people."

"Shihuang made a lot of efforts, but in the end it was hard to stop fate."

"Furthermore."

"The outside world scolded Shi Huang for being extravagant and extravagant, but many people never thought about why Shi Huang would do this. Didn't Shi Huang waste people's money by doing so?"

"Probably know."

"But sometimes, even if you are scolding for the world, you have to do this."

"Eight hundred miles in the middle of Qin Dynasty, towers, halls and pavilions go to the sky."

"In the nine years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, countless palaces have been built indiscriminately. The court ladies of the six countries have gathered in one body. They are gorgeous, extravagant and lustful, and the music of bells and drums is endless."

Ji Heng smiled slightly, and said: "These actions of the first emperor have indeed been criticized by the world."

"But is it really pointless?"

"No!"

"Since ancient times, the whole world has talked about the 'divine right of kings'. If you want to do something important, you must claim to uphold the will of heaven."

"Xia Qi crusaded against the Youhu family, saying that he was 'respectfully punished by heaven', Xia Jie was confident that 'I own the world, just like the sky has the sun', Shang Tang and Xia also said, 'If Xia has many crimes, the fate will kill him', When Pan Geng moved his capital, he also said, 'Heaven will live forever in Zixin'."

"During the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been countless acts of 'regicide', but very few powerful ministers dared to kill the monarch and replace him."

"Not one of them is another heir to the royal family."

"And it's all because of two words."

"Destiny!"

"These actions of the first emperor are to make himself awe-inspiring in people's hearts."

"So the first emperor first established the uniqueness of the imperial power through a series of titles, and then linked the imperial power with the divine power by stipulating 'water virtue' and other actions, and tried to salvage the Jiuding. These actions are all to make his regime gain greater legitimacy .”

"Recognized by the world."

"The palaces built in various places are not for personal pleasure, but for the face of the entire regime."

"The Son of Heaven regards the four seas as his home, and it is not for the majesty to die with prestige."

"Even Shihuang, who has such a high prestige, still needs to do these things to stabilize his prestige in the hearts of the subjects of the world, let alone the monarchs of future generations?"

"It's just." The corner of Ji Heng's mouth curled up, and he said lightly, "Is this really a legalist practice?"

boom!
Hearing Ji Heng's words, Hu Hai's face was thunderous.

He looked at Ji Heng in horror, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Ji Heng looked as usual, and said with a light smile: "It's Legalism, but not entirely. Shihuang is a very great person, but he still hasn't got rid of the influence of Confucianism. The method that Shihuang practiced is actually Confucianism. It is the law of Shang Yang."

"The First Emperor not only wanted Qin Law to maintain his rule, but also wanted to use Confucianism to fool the people."

"Thus trying to construct a set of laws of monarch, Confucianism and ministers."

"But Daqin established the country by law. When this idea appeared, Daqin's system collapsed."

"Today's Great Qin is only relying on the bravery of the past to forcibly support it."

"But how can dead leaves really stop the fire?"

"Indeed."

"Shihuang made various remedies."

"Created a set of 'five virtues always said', driving Confucian scholars out of the imperial court, and monopolizing the right to interpret 'benevolent government', and taking officials as teachers and law as teaching, but Shihuang ignored one point , not everyone has the skills of the first emperor."

"Legalism divides power, technique, and law."

"Shen Buhai's reform is mainly to use skills to control the officials, but only choose one, and Korea will weaken quickly, let alone all three?"

"It's only going to be high for the sovereign's ability."

"How many people in later generations can reach the political heights of the First Emperor?"

"Even if Daqin can barely support it."

"In the end, it will not be able to become the so-called law of monarch, Confucianism and ministers, or Confucianism outside and law inside."

"It will only become Confucianism inside, Confucianism outside, and Confucianism inside."

"A country established by law, but the monarch voluntarily abandons the law, so is there a need for this country to exist?"

"I'm not optimistic about Shihuang's layout."

"Whether it's Fusu's superior or other princes, they can't play well."

"It will only result in the lack of benevolence and righteousness, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be different!"

The remote cottage is as quiet as a valley.

Ji Heng's voice continued to echo.

"Although I am not optimistic about Shihuang's layout, this is indeed the best arrangement that Shihuang can think of."

"A hundred schools of thought, after a hundred schools of thought contended, four schools of thought put forward their own views on governing the world. These four schools are Taoism, Legalism, Confucianism, and Mohism."

"However, after hundreds of years of attacks in the Warring States Period, the Mohist School split, and the Taoist School of Huang and Lao, although it has improved, but under the centralization of power, rule by doing nothing is obviously not accepted by the first emperor. Another form of Confucianism, the fusion of Confucianism and Legalism, and the legalism is only suitable for troubled times, not very suitable for governing the world."

"Confucianism teaches that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. After hundreds of years of teaching, the disciples of the sect are all over the world."

"In the late Warring States period, Confucianism did go astray, but because of the large number of disciples, it answered questions that other schools of thought could not answer."

"Virtue! Destiny!"

"And how to rule the world and sit in the world."

"The core ideas of Confucianism are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, and filial piety."

"These things are moral."

"Best to use."

"It's also the easiest to fool people."

"This set of ideas, combined with the theory of destiny, and supplemented by the legal system as a tool, are enough to make future monarchs secure the world."

"But as I said earlier."

"Great Qin established the country by law. This approach can be done by any of the six Kanto countries, but Qin alone cannot."

"Just don't do this, and continue to follow the rule of law, and Qin will gradually collapse."

"Because Daqin's legal system is only suitable for wartime."

"Emperor Shi Huang has no choice."

"Looking at the world, only Confucianism can use the thoughts of various schools of thought."

"This may also be a helplessness in the contemporary era."

"After all, who would have imagined that Confucius changed 'study in the government' to 'teach without discrimination', which would have such a great influence on the world?"

"Maybe even Confucius himself couldn't think of it."

Ji Heng stood up slowly.

He glanced at Hu Hai who was full of bewilderment, and said lightly: "The execution is only five days away, and I am a little tired of lecturing. I will give it once at most, and then I won't. In the last part of my life, I can Accompanied by delicious food and wine, it is already living up to this life.”

"Haha."

Ji Heng laughed loudly and walked out of the house.

To the end.

There is one sentence left.

"I have talked so much today, you can go down and think about it, if Daqin continues to do this, which of the six places in the Kanto region will be the first to rebel, and which group will it be?!"

"Advise you to stop scolding Qin Shihuang, and discuss the burning pit business."

"A hundred generations have practiced Qin's political law, and the name of Confucianism is Gao Shichaan."

In the hut as quiet as a valley, Ji Heng's figure has long since disappeared, but Hu Hai hasn't recovered for a long time.

His thoughts were still immersed in Ji Heng's words.

Feeling panicked.
