Chapter 15 I want to eat hot pot
"Chun Yuyue."
Ying Zheng's voice was calm.
"I am here."
Chunyu Yue was nervous, for he knew that what Ying Zheng would say next would determine his fate.
Even if one is determined to die, how many people can act as if nothing happened between life and death?
"You have offended me with your words in the court. I consider you as Fusu's teacher, so I ask you to teach Fusu this Analects. If you teach well, I will keep your head for now."
Boom!
It was like a bolt of thunder striking Chunyu Yue.
You want me to teach Fusu such a blasphemous article? I would rather die than do that!
This article slanders Confucius to the extreme. As a Confucian student, how could I do such a thing!
"minister."
What Chunyu Yue wanted to say was "I cannot obey your command, I would rather die."
The words were already on the tip of his tongue, but Ying Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something.
"If you don't understand something, feel free to take Fusu to Chang'an Junfu and ask Cheng Jiao for advice."
Chunyu Yue's lowered head trembled suddenly, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back!
The words of Ying Zheng kept echoing in his ears - if there is anything he doesn't understand, he can take Fusu to Chang'an Junfu at any time and ask Cheng Jiao for advice.
Within the Qin State, only the city of Xianyang had the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, which was the residence of Chang'an Lord Ying Chengjiao.
The prerequisite for taking Ying Fusu to Chang'an Junfu for advice at any time is that Ying Fusu is in Xianyang.
No need to go to Shangjun?
No need to go to Shangjun!
Chun Yuyue did not hesitate, his voice full of joy, and he said loudly: "Minister! I obey your order!"
"Your Majesty! This article is bullshit! It is an article that blasphemes Confucius!"
Fu Sheng looked at Ying Zheng and couldn't believe that Ying Zheng actually gave such an order.
"Chun Yuyue! How could you agree to this? You are so ungrateful!"
Fu Sheng looked at Chunyu Yue again, unable to believe that Chunyu Yue actually agreed to Ying Zheng's order.
"My fellow colleagues! Speak up! If Ying Chengjiao can misinterpret the Analects today, he can misinterpret the Book of Law, the Art of War, and the Tao Te Ching tomorrow!"
Finally, Fusheng looked at all the Qin officials in the court and couldn't believe that not a single one of them stood up to oppose this matter.
Not long after, in Fusheng's eyes full of hope.
The left prime minister was Wei Zhuang and the right prime minister was Wang Wan.
The two prime ministers, who were above the emperor and below ten thousand people, stood up, bowed their heads and saluted.
Oppose it! Oppose it! As a scholar, we cannot waste our knowledge like this!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The two people's voices were almost synchronized! This voice made Fu Sheng take a half step back! His expression was unbelievable!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Qin officials stood up one after another, bowed their heads and saluted with loud voices.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
“…”
The calls of "Your Majesty is wise" were like big iron hammers hitting Fusheng's head, making him dizzy and pale.
He looked at the Confucian scholars among Qin's ministers, and except for him, all of them were shouting "Your Majesty is wise."
Why is this happening? Don’t you know that this is a blasphemy against Confucius and a slander against our Confucian classics?
With a heart full of questions, Fu Sheng took two steps back, his feet felt weak and he could not stand steadily. He felt dizzy and his eyes went dark before he passed out.
Ying Chengjiao was quick to act and supported Fusheng, placing him together with the unconscious Ying Fusu.
Ying Fusu had already fainted when his teacher Chunyu Yue said the two words "obey the order".
The belief that the eldest son of the Qin State had always held collapsed...
Hearing the calls of "Your Majesty is wise and enlightened", Ying Chengjiao felt both amused and confused. This was the true Confucianism, this was the real court.
I haven't been here for so many years, and it's still so bloody!
He looked at Ying Zheng, and the two brothers looked at each other, with unknown light flashing in their eyes.
Ying Chengjiao smiled and bowed his head.
At this moment, his posture was as standard as Ying Fusu's!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Ying Chengjiao shouted.
His voice was drowned out by the voices of the other courtiers and seemed inconspicuous.
To be honest, Ying Zheng couldn't hear what Ying Chengjiao was shouting, but he knew from the shape of his lips that Ying Chengjiao was shouting the four words "Your Majesty is wise and wise".
A hint of anger flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
They are shouting, and you are shouting too. What are you doing? It's better to call you "Royal Brother"!
Ying Zheng called for people from the Imperial Medical Bureau to come up and take Fusheng and Ying Fusu away for treatment.
He was not worried at all about his son's fainting, but was very happy instead.
He had a hunch.
Although he didn't know what had happened to Ying Fusu, when Ying Fusu woke up again, no matter what happened, it should have been resolved.
The First Emperor was in a good mood.
The cloud that blocked the sunlight suddenly disappeared.
The Xianyang Palace was exposed to the sunlight, and the glazed tiles reflected the golden light, which was quite magnificent.
The huge rock that was weighing on the ministers' hearts disappeared, and some veteran ministers took the opportunity to shake their legs and feet - they were a little numb from kneeling just now.
"I reviewed the memorial yesterday and found that no cities or counties outside Shandong were offered. I am very confused. Don't the cities outside Shandong belong to Qin?"
Ying Chengjiao knelt down and laughed. He was too lazy to listen to these things.
The purpose of his visit to court this time has been achieved.
I believe that after this incident, his nephew will see through the true nature of Confucianism and give up those unrealistic fantasies.
As long as Ying Fusu doesn't commit suicide, his throne will be secure.
Ying Chengjiao wanted to sleep. Usually he was still asleep at this time.
But he also knew that it was inappropriate to sleep at this time, as it would undermine Ying Zheng's prestige.
This made him complain again - why did his royal brother hold a court meeting so early?
With his chin supported by his left hand and his right hand tapping unconsciously on the table, Ying Chengjiao looked back at the door of Xianyang Palace and sighed.
When can I get off work?
In the court, except Ying Chengjiao, everyone was thinking about Ying Zheng's words and pondering over strategies for governing the country.
Ying Chengjiao was like an outsider, out of place in this court.
The main purpose of Ying Zheng's convening of a court meeting today was to resolve the problem that the remaining aristocratic forces of the six states in Shandong were powerful, making it difficult for the people in the cities and counties to return to their country and regard Qin as their home country.
Within ten years, the Qin State annexed the six states one by one, a speed unprecedented in history. The Qin State was the fastest country in terms of conquering cities and countries during the Warring States Period.
This matter had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that it made Qin's reputation unrivaled, and made other countries terrified. In the end, the remaining great power, Qi, was so frightened by Qin's fierce power that it did not even dare to resist and surrendered directly.
The disadvantage is that these newly added cities and counties have been under the control of Qin for too short a period of time, and the people in these cities and counties are unable to gain their loyalty and regard themselves as Qin people.
After the Qin State conquered a city or county, it would normally take at least ten years for the people there to completely submit and accept it.
Ten years is the time of a generation. It is the time for those who have not experienced the pain of war, have not fought against the Qin army, and do not hate the Qin State to grow up.
This also requires that the county governor appointed by Qin can govern the newly acquired city and county well. If he oppresses the people and causes trouble to the countryside, then the time for him to return to his country will be greatly extended.
During these ten years, the territory of Qin State increased day by day, and cities and counties were added as if it was a piece of cake.
Due to its policies, the Qin State did not have the fertile soil for capable ministers to grow.
Where could Ying Zheng find so many officials to fill the vacancies at that moment?
During the ten years of the offensive, Ying Zheng urgently needed a way to stabilize the cities and counties he had conquered. The word used here was to stabilize rather than govern. Ying Zheng only needed to temporarily prevent these cities and counties from rebelling.
Therefore, when dealing with conquered cities and counties, Ying Zheng's approach was to elect a prestigious noble to govern them without changing the original local laws and regulations.
This will not only eliminate the hatred of the people in the city and counties to the greatest extent, but also eliminate the panic of the local people - after all, the people who manage them have not changed, the laws that manage them have not changed, and their daily lives are the same as before.
In wartime, this is undoubtedly a good idea and will not slow down Qin's pace of unifying the world.
But now, the war has stopped, and Ying Zheng wants to truly conquer these cities and counties.
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan advised: "Your Majesty, when the princes were first defeated, the lands of Yan, Qi, and Jingchu were all too far away from Xianyang. It is too difficult to govern these places east of Hangu Pass like Guanzhong. Their folk customs are completely different from those of Guanzhong."
"Your Majesty, why don't you assign each prince to be a king in these places and govern them in the most suitable way for the local area? All the kings will respect your Majesty together. In the hands of the kings, won't these places truly belong to Qin?"
After listening to this, Ying Zheng nodded without commenting. He said to the audience, "What do the rest of you think of Wang Wan's remarks?"
The ministers started discussing with each other, and the court became noisy and chaotic.
This is a normal phenomenon in the Qin court. It is not allowed to discuss this in the court.
As long as the First Emperor was not angry, the atmosphere in the Qin court was actually very relaxed.
Of course, this noise also had nothing to do with Ying Chengjiao.
He rested his chin on his hand, his mind wandering, thinking about what to eat for lunch and whether there were any new girls in the building.
It’s a bit cold, let’s eat hotpot!
Just when he decided on lunch, a soft female voice with a heavy rolled tongue sounded beside him.
"What do you think, Chang'an Jun?"
"I want to eat hotpot." Ying Chengjiao said casually.
After saying this, Ying Chengjiao was stunned for a moment as he realized what was happening.
Female voice?
