Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 47 My son feels that Daqin is about to die! (for collection)

separated by a wall.

Fusu sat slumped on the ground, feeling powerless.

Before, he was quite excited when he heard Ji Heng say that the emperor was not Confucian and legal, and he believed that the first emperor had found a way of peace for the world, but what Ji Heng said completely woke him up.

The so-called law of monarch, Confucianism and ministers is wishful thinking after all.

It simply can't be done.

People are selfish. As long as one of the two families occupies a high position, it will inevitably crowd out and suppress the other. Under the centralized system of the Great Qin Dynasty, everything in the court depends on the current emperor.

But the emperor is not everyone sage.

Not everyone can understand the truth.

Once an emperor has a preference, it will inevitably break the balance of the monarch, Confucianism and ministers.

Confucianism can fail a hundred times, but the emperor cannot make one mistake. As long as there is one mistake, Confucianism will immediately be involved in a new attempt.

The foundation of Confucianism in the world is too deep.

Even if it is burning books, even killing Confucian scholars and alchemists, it will never be eradicated.

Even if Confucianism is forcibly exterminated.

There is also a tricky problem to solve.

What governs the world?
Now only Confucianism has given the answer.

Rely on benevolence!Rely on courtesy!
"Confucianism uses literature to confuse law, and chivalry uses martial arts to confuse prohibition."

"Han Feizi has already pointed out the nature of Confucianism."

"But why?"

"As Ji Heng said, Confucius changed 'study in the government' to 'teach without discrimination', which had a great impact on the world. Those who could compete with Confucianism, the three schools of Mohism, Daoism and Fa were defeated one after another."

"The world has long been dominated by Confucianism!"

"Only Qin is still struggling because of Shang Yang's reform."

"It's just that it's hard to stop the general trend after all."

"Back then Wei General Gongsun Yan once said: 'Those who follow the trend win the world, but the world is destroyed by those who go against the trend. Life has been passionate and heroic since ancient times. Success or failure has not yet come, and it is impossible to know immediately'."

"Great Qin followed the trend and won the world, is it really going to be broken by those who go against the trend?"

Fusu stood up tremblingly, and walked towards the outside of the imperial prison, feeling very painful and confused in his heart, he felt that Daqin seemed to have entered a dead end.

Dilemma.

in prison.

Ji Heng returned to his prison.

He was at peace.

He knew that what he said shocked 'Ji Gongzi', but this is the fact that Confucianism has actually made a comeback long ago.

It doesn't matter whether the first emperor burned books or murdered alchemists and Confucian scholars.

Neither solves any problems.

Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty followed the policy of the first emperor, that is, to adopt the Confucianism outside and the law inside, but he used the art of Huang Lao as a reconciliation technique, but this kind of balancing technique placed too high demands on the monarch. Emperor Jing finally brought Confucian scholars together.

In the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he officially ascended to the ruling and opposition parties!

It was out of control after that.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the last monarch of the Han Dynasty who insisted on Confucianism and internal law.

Even Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty directly pointed out that "the Han family has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way", but after all, he still did not wake up the Emperor Han Yuan, so that he said in disappointment that "the one who messes with my family is also the prince".

Beginning with Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the political system of Confucianism on the outside and Law on the inside completely collapsed.

Confucianism, through the name of "benevolent government", completely controlled the world's public opinion and controlled the court. Since then, China has completely become Confucianism.

Even though Taoism and Legalism made waves in the middle, Confucianism has already established its momentum and it is difficult to shake it at all.

There are just a few more banned books in the world.

That's it.

Ji Heng stood tall, looked at the tall wooden window, and said softly: "How can I easily return to nature after being in a cage for a long time?"

"Even I am not in a cage?"

"If I hadn't learned about overthrowing the Kongjiadian and Kong Laoer and getting rid of the ideological imprint of the old era, maybe I would not be any different from the people of the present."

"It's just that in this world that has been influenced by Confucianism for nearly 300 years, how easy is it to really break the influence of Confucianism?"

"Not nothing, though."

"At the same time as Confucius or a little later, there were theories in the world that were separate from Confucianism, and even suppressed Confucianism. However, the explosive growth of the number of Confucian scholars later suppressed all these objections. However, how many people are there today? How about looking back to more than 300 years ago?"

Ji Heng shook his head and sat down on the ground.

Xianyang Palace.

Fusu knelt in the hall in despair.

I can't cry anymore.

But he still spoke clearly what Ji Heng said.

Yingzheng was speechless for a long time, letting Fusu's mournful cry echoed in the Shenshen hall, until Fusu gradually stopped crying, Yingzheng said lightly: "You are my eldest son, with such a weak personality, how can you become a great event in the future?" , get up."

"I obey." Fusu finally stood up, gradually calmed down, and said with difficulty: "Father, my son is in great pain right now."

"During this time, my son, after listening to Ji Heng's explanation several times, under the pain in his heart, he has come to his senses. He dare not touch Confucianism anymore. He also keeps studying "Han Feizi" and "Book of Shang Jun", just to understand the world. The more there are, the more powerless the son will feel, and the more he will feel incompetent."

"My son is so confused now. He clearly knows that Daqin has so many abuses, but he doesn't know how to reverse it."

"My son also feels that there are problems everywhere in Daqin, and it's all thanks to the emperor's efforts to support him."

"even."

"My son feels that Daqin seems to be dying!"

"My son doesn't know what to do now."

"Father---"

Fusu bowed to the ground and wept bitterly again.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, who was full of pain, with a look of kindness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "As long as Father is still here, Daqin will not be able to fall!"

"As for what Ji Heng said, just listen to it, don't take it seriously."

"Everything in the world, you do your best."

"Even if what Ji Heng said is true, Fazhen becomes another form of Confucianism, that is also the choice of future generations."

"In a world of great contention, a hundred schools of thought contend."

"The only ones that stand out are Confucianism, Mohism, and Taoism."

"The Mohism started from Mozi, and it has declined in one lifetime. The requirements are too strict, and very few people can do it, and they cannot be imitated by the world."

"Taoism is inaction, close to nature, and adapt to the times."

"It's just what is heaven? What does it mean to be obedient? Taoism didn't say it."

"Only emphasize the rule of virtue."

"But how to make the people virtuous? How to rule by virtue? Taoism didn't say anything."

"The major event of the country lies in the sacrifice and the army."

"Sacrifice has a high status in the hearts of the people."

"Taoist techniques can't break the worship in the hearts of the people, can't break the way of sacrifice, and can't be used by Daqin."

"Because the people believe in ghosts and gods, and Daqin can't explain ghosts and gods, it will inevitably be opposed by the people. There are countless temples in the world. I asked Nei Shiteng to try to clean up illegal temples in Nanjun, but the effect was not good. Not good, and even caused riots in Nanjun."

"How about a county, let alone the whole world?"

"If the imperial court insists on destroying sacrifices, the head of Guizhou will go to collect Confucianism."

"The "Book of Rites·Jie Tong" compiled by Confucius wrote: 'The way to govern people is not to be anxious about rituals; there are five classics in rituals, so don't focus on sacrifices'."

"Sacrifice is respected by Confucianism."

"If the imperial court wants to appease the people, it can only accept this set."

"And this is exactly the advantage and disadvantage of Confucianism. It mixes the beliefs of the lower class people with Confucianism, and then forms a huge group of scholars through education without discrimination. Today, most of the lower class people and the lower class people are influenced by Confucianism. Influence."

"The same is true for hundreds of families."

"For the survival of our own school, we can only rely on the Confucianism system."

"The world respects Confucianism."

"Can Daqin An really stay out of the matter?"
