Inside the main hall of Xianyang Palace, it is solemn and dignified. Zhao Ling wore a sky crown and a black court suit. She sat upright on the dragon chaise with a tall figure, her eyes looking down at His Highness and ministers. Although Fusu has no specific official position, Zhao Ling specially arranged for him to sit in a highly respected position in the lower head to attend the court affairs. Their respect is second only to the Prime Minister. Surprisingly, even important officials like Meng Wu and Wang Wan did not raise any objections to this. In this Xianyang City, all forces are intricate, intertwined and penetrated each other, and the news spreads extremely quickly. In the court, apart from Fusu and Confucian disciples, many people already knew about the various things that happened in Changfeng Mansion. After all, Xianyang City is so big, there is no secret that can definitely be blocked. However, these people were tacitly aware of it and pretended to be ignorant. "I call my beloved friends to come today, and there is something important to discuss." Zhao Ling's voice echoed in the hall, calm and powerful. "I decided that if anyone can make all ten families have enough food and clothing, or can teach a hundred people to read and write any academic book, they can report this matter to me.
I will personally write his life and deeds and achievements, and order people to set up a monument of merit in the local area, engrave his deeds on it for future generations to admire and remember. ” Compared with what was said in Changfengfu, Zhao Ling deliberately added a little to the court this time: any academic classics, not limited to Confucian classics. This seems to be just a short sentence, but it changes the meaning of the whole thing greatly. But it means that not only Confucian disciples have the opportunity to participate in this matter, and all forces such as the hundreds of schools of thought, gentry and nobles can join in. Confucius and other Confucians naturally heard the profound meaning, but they really couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it. After all, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, many nobles were present. If only Confucianism was allowed to do this, Confucianism would probably become the target of public criticism in an instant. Kong Feng and Chunyu Yue secretly speculated, thinking that Zhao Ling was also helpless. They believed that Zhao Ling originally wanted to respect Confucianism alone, but Fusu put forward different opinions. In front of the noble families, Zhao Ling had to make such adjustments. They even felt that Zhao Ling was still considering Confucianism when he did this. Such a "sage" and caring for Confucian monarchs, they really have no reason to serve their lives unfaithfully. Fusu, who was standing beside him, listened quietly, and his eyes were slightly stunned, and his eyes were changing when he looked at Zhao Ling. In Fusu's view, if Confucianism is allowed to dominate, and if the people are given the favor of Confucianism in time, and the names of Confucian disciples are engraved on the merits of the villages and counties, Confucian influence will expand rapidly. At that time, Zhao Ling must have carefully considered the suggestions and decisions made by Confucianism in the court. Although Confucianism does not hold military power, once its plan is implemented, it will control the public opinion orientation at the bottom and even control the people. In this way, how should officials in counties and townships respond? Just as Chunyu Yue and others suddenly felt that Fusu was not as close as before, Fusu also had a new view on Confucianism at this moment. Especially after being demoted to Shangjun and calmed down for a while, he experienced the death of Ying Zheng and the change in his attitude towards him in the past two days. This made Fusu begin to question the Confucian concept and then think about a serious thought. Question: Why did the father vigorously suppress Confucianism during his lifetime? With Fusu's intelligence, as long as you no longer have unrealistic fantasies about Confucianism and think from the perspective of the emperor, the reason will not be difficult to understand. Ying Zheng was determined to rule the country with law, weaken the influence of Confucianism, and achieve ideological unity. Zhao Ling had previously claimed in Changfengfu that Confucianism should be respected, and also planned to allow Confucian disciples to establish merit monuments in the villages and counties to keep them in history. This is obviously contrary to the government orders that Ying Zheng had previously implemented. If we really do what Zhao Ling said, within ten years, the influence of Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty would probably be enough to shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.
"Do you guys have any objections to this?" Zhao Ling's face was calm, but he was secretly happy inside. He actually hoped that someone would stand up and oppose it. Once someone objected, he just followed the trend and allowed more than the Confucians to do this. There were many nobles in the Qin Dynasty, and there were many rich and knowledgeable families. How could they watch the Confucian family dominate? Everyone competes with each other to form a "intra-roll" trend, which is the situation Zhao Ling really expects to see. As the saying goes, seeking the best is the best. Now after Fusu raises objections, Confucianism can still accept such a situation. Maybe they are grateful to Zhao Ling in their hearts. The Confucian doctors such as Kong Feng and Chunyu Yue took the lead in proclaiming: "Minist, objection. ” In their opinion, since Zhao Ling has shown that he wants to make Confucianism respectful, it is definitely a forced one to let everyone participate. If they object at this time, this rare opportunity will be completely gone. Compared with the policy of burning books and burying Confucianism when Ying Zheng was reigning, the current situation is already the best news for Confucianism. Zhang Liang and Wei Liao, as Zhao Ling's confidants, did not immediately express their opinions. The two of them frowned, as if they were weighing the pros and cons. Xi Wenyan and others had previously received the favor of Zhao Ling and knew that there would be countless wealth waiting for them in the future. Moreover, it would be a great blessing if their disciples could take this opportunity to be elected to the court. What they value is that once Zhao Ling’s requirements are completed, the lives and achievements of relevant personnel can be reported to Zhao Ling. With the strong wealth of the three major clans, erecting a monument is naturally no problem. More importantly, those official positions with real power in the court are a good opportunity for them to arrange their own people, and this is also an excellent time for them to express their loyalty to Zhao Ling. So, Xi Fuyan took the lead and said, "I have no objection." Meng Weiran and Bai Qi also responded one after another: "I have no objection." Meng Wuze frowned and remained silent. He knew in his heart that Zhao Ling's move was a political order implemented by Emperor Shi Huang to restart the Book of Shang Jun before he changed step by step. The Qin Dynasty has always used military merits as the main condition for the promotion of officials. Most of the theories of various schools of thought were forbidden to spread. The purpose was to not distract the people and avoid them wasting time on irrelevant matters, but to hope that the people would focus on clearing the land. Reclamation and develop national strength. Once the decree issued by Zhao Ling now is implemented, the various schools of thought and noble families will inevitably be frantically involved in the relief of disaster victims in order to show their favor in front of Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling did not pay much attention to Meng Wu's reaction, but turned his attention to Fusu. He was very curious whether Fusu was as virtuous as recorded in historical books. Even though he made some adjustments to the content of the government decree to avoid the situation where Confucianism is dominant, once this government decree is truly implemented, there are still many potential major disadvantages. If you are not careful, the Qin Dynasty may really fall into chaos. If Fusu had no objection to this small change he made just because of this small change, then Fusu's talent would probably be just like this and would not be worthy of his reuse. Fusu felt Zhao Ling's gaze, looked at him calmly, and stood up calmly: "Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with this plan." Zhao Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of gloom in his tone, and he asked, "Fusu, do you have to think clearly about what you are talking about?" Seeing this, Kong Feng mistakenly thought that Zhao Ling was going to attack Fusu. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and asked loudly: "Fusu, this strategy is obviously beneficial to the country and the people. What's wrong with it? Don't say it here. Nonsense!” Faced with Kong Qi's aggressiveness, Fusu looked gentle and did not panic at all. He responded with a smile: "Mr. Kong, Fusu has not explained the inappropriateness yet, so how can you assert that I am talking nonsense? ”
Kong Feng refused to give in: "Then please tell me in detail about Mr. Fusu. What's wrong with it?" Fusu turned around and faced Zhao Ling, and said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty, first of all, you hope that the people can read, which is naturally excellent. However, if you allow the people to teach them, what the people have learned It must be different. Moreover, some people who teach may be eager for quick success and instant benefits and only teach the people a book. In this way, although the people can read, they may not be able to truly understand the profound meaning. They may be grateful to the people who teach, so Forgetting His Majesty’s emperor’s grace, ignoring the country’s legal system, and even becoming a vassal of some people and being driven by them.” "Secondly, in the long run, the prestige of teachers in each township and county is very likely to be too high, which will bring great difficulties to the management of the court. Moreover, in order to compete for interests among the various schools of thought and the aristocratic families, they will inevitably have arisen. Fierce battles are very likely to become the root of chaos. Once someone takes the opportunity to train dead soldiers to launch a rebellion, the court will be unable to defend against it." Before Fusu could finish his words, Zhao Ling's eyes flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but cheer: "Cai!" Hearing this cheer, Meng Wu, Zhang Liang and Wei Liao's frowns before instantly stretched out. Fusu is worthy of being the eldest son of the First Emperor. His words hit the nail on the head and accurately pointed out the potential problems of the government orders. And Zhao Ling actually cheered openly. Did he expect Fusu to say this? Everyone couldn't help but think, Zhao Ling is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. If Fusu is willing to assist him with all his heart, how could the Qin Dynasty not about prosperity and prosperity? When Confucian disciples such as Kong Jing and Chunyu Yue heard Zhao Ling's cheers, they all looked at Fusu blankly, and their faces became extremely ugly. Especially the sound of "color" was like a heavy hammer, shattering the beautiful dream in their hearts.
