Chapter 61: Li Si believed in the wrong thing!
When Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and Feng Quji saw Li Si's actions, they swallowed back the words that were on their lips.
The last time Li Si and Chunyu Yue debated, Chunyu Yue ended up losing, so it was normal procedure for Li Si to petition the First Emperor.
This time, Li Si was debating with them, and before a winner was decided, the debate was only halfway through when he took the initiative to ask the First Emperor to enter and preside over the debate. This was not in accordance with the court rules.
Take a look first, no rush.
If Your Majesty supports Li Si, it will be a premeditated plan. If we continue to stop him, we will be openly opposing Your Majesty.
After Li Si's words, the three men fell silent, and Ying Chengjiao became anxious.
What are you doing?
If I really want you to drag my brother down, then I'll go up front to liven up the atmosphere and let all the ministers take part in the debate. Isn't that like taking off pants to fart - why bother doing that twice?
Ying Zheng was just about to step down to support Li Si when he suddenly saw his own brother winking at him.
The First Emperor was puzzled.
Cheng Jiao wants me to put this on hold for later? Is this necessary?
In any case, the county system will be implemented in the end.
Given the First Emperor's temper, he gave an excuse to save face for his ministers, which was already a manifestation of his sympathy for them.
This matter can be settled now.
But although the First Emperor thought so in his heart, what he said was not so.
"I am a little tired of listening. We can discuss this matter later. Let's stop here today."
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and Feng Quji nodded secretly.
At present, it seems that what Li Si said today was not instructed by Your Majesty.
The ministers were also very happy.
Since the First Emperor did not openly support Li Si, in their view, Li Si was doomed to fail.
As I said, one person's talent is ultimately limited.
No matter how capable Li Si was, it was impossible for him to perfect the county system into the feudal system in just a few days.
Ying Chengjiao let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is still hope. Let's put this matter on hold for a while until I get back home and gather people to think of a solution.
Everyone was very happy, except Li Si.
Li Si: ???
Your Majesty, don't you support me?
I wrote the county system according to your requirements!
Looking back at the hateful eyes of the court officials, Li Si felt a little desperate as he watched Ying Zheng stride away from the throne.
In the dispute between the county system and the feudal system, as long as the First Emperor did not intervene, the longer it was delayed, the smaller his chances of winning would be.
In preparation for this debate, in addition to improving the county system, he has also been looking for the drawbacks of the feudal system over the past three days.
Today, the county system was suddenly proposed, catching all the ministers off guard . Thanks to a lot of preparation, we were able to defeat the seven Qin ministers.
After the court was adjourned, the ministers worked together to study the county system thoroughly and find out its shortcomings.
If I can win the debate at the next court meeting, all the strategists and famous scholars will rush to claim that I am the boss.
Li Si left the Xianyang Palace with unsteady steps. He looked up and saw that all the ministers were his enemies.
"Don't run away, you bastard!"
"Li Xin! If you dare to hit me, I will take revenge on my brother. I will give you several months' imprisonment in exchange for one or two punches!"
"Qin Fa does not attend the court, this is the rule!"
"That was before no one took it seriously, but today Li Si reminded me. Qin governs the country by law, and if you hit me, you are breaking the law, regardless of whether you are in the court or not. If you hit me, you should prepare to serve your sentence in Mount Li!"
"Li Si believed it wrongly! Li Si believed it wrongly!"
Not far ahead, Li Xin stopped Ying Chengjiao, and the conversation between the two reached Li Si's ears.
Li Si looked at the triumphant Ying Chengjiao, and when he thought that Ying Chengjiao had escaped a beating because of his inspiration, his anger grew exponentially!
Your Majesty doesn't support me. Is it because I came forward at the wrong time? I shouldn't be so anxious today! This bastard misled me! This bastard misled me!
Ying Chengjiao, whose plan was disrupted by Li Si, knew what Li Si was thinking in his mind and would most likely send secret guards to kill Li Si before nightfall!
Confucian House.
The struggle in the court today is so fierce, but due to Chunyu Yue's instructions, the Confucian students who are not allowed to participate are very depressed.
They all wanted to restore the glory of Confucianism, and the dispute over the feudal system and the county system in the court today was the best opportunity for them.
Especially since the county system was proposed by Li Si, the representative of the Legalists, then if they used the feudal system to argue against Li Si's county system, isn't that equivalent to the Confucians arguing against the Legalists?
When the First Emperor saw that Legalism was inferior to Confucianism, perhaps he changed the Qin State's rule from rule by law to rule by Confucianism?
As for the possibility of losing, Confucian disciples never thought about it.
It's impossible to lose!
The feudal system was a Zhou Dynasty system.
Confucianism reveres the Zhou Dynasty. When it comes to research on the Zhou Dynasty, Confucianism ranks second while none of the Hundred Schools of Thought dares to claim to be first. Confucianism has already studied the Zhou Dynasty thoroughly.
The Confucian disciples were so anxious that they watched the seven ministers who supported the feudal system being defeated by Li Si.
In the court, many Confucian students had to look at Chunyu Yue's expression more than once.
This has already fallen into their Confucian domain, let them do it!
Confucianism talks about the feudal system, which is a professional counterpart!
It is impossible to lose!
"Brother Chunyu, why didn't you let us take action today?"
"Brother Chunyu, are you afraid that Confucianism will lose to Legalism again?"
"The county system is nonsense. I only need a few words to make Li Si lose badly."
In the largest room in the Confucian Palace, Chunyu Yue was surrounded by Confucian scholars and was not allowed to leave.
Many Confucian scholars talked at once, some complained, some questioned, and some were angry.
In order to convince these Confucian scholars, Chunyu Yue only needed to make his plan public.
At that time, not only will these Confucian scholars no longer blame him, but they will be in awe of him, worship him and regard him as the true Confucian leader.
But Chunyu Yue did not do so.
He could tell his plan to Fusheng, but not to the Confucian scholars in front of him.
There are many people and many different opinions.
If his plan were to be leaked, the First Emperor would be furious.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people die.
Chunyu Yue was not afraid of being killed, but he was afraid that Emperor Qin Shi Huang would ban Confucianism throughout the country, thus cutting off the Confucian tradition!
And based on his understanding of the First Emperor, the probability of this happening is very high.
"Brother Chunyu has his reasons for not letting you speak. My Confucianism has gone from being rejected by the Qin State to having the largest number of students in the Qin State. Brother Chunyu has made great contributions. You should stop making noise and study with peace of mind."
Fusheng spoke for Chunyu Yue.
As soon as he opened his mouth, many people in the crowd relaxed their expressions.
Because the crowd gathered were mostly Confucian scholars who were well versed in Confucianism and obsessed with classics, and only they had enough confidence to refute Li Si.
Fu Sheng was the best in studying Confucianism. He was the leader of these people and had a huge influence on them.
"Everyone, I hope you won't make any comments in this debate. If we are not careful, our Confucianism will face a devastating disaster!" Chunyu Yue comforted everyone.
A thirty-year-old Confucian scholar frowned and asked, "Why would giving advice bring disaster to Confucianism? Explain the reason to everyone!"
Chunyu Yue smiled bitterly: "If Yue tells the truth, the disaster he will cause to Confucianism will be more serious than if you make suggestions in the court."
