Chapter 158: What you get on paper is ultimately shallow!
Walking out of the courtyard, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back.
As he walked, he said:
"What you said was just to make the First Emperor admit his mistake."
"But the First Emperor cannot admit this mistake!"
"Han Fei said back then: 'Those who are superficial but easy to see, leaky but have nothing to hide, and who are not thorough enough to understand what the ministers are saying will perish!'"
"Admit your mistake?"
"The First Emperor cannot accept this!"
"Admitting a mistake weakens your authority."
"The people of the world know that the wise and wise Emperor Wu Shihuang also made mistakes, so will they still be so respectful to the First Emperor and the imperial power?"
"Everyone can make mistakes, but the First Emperor cannot!"
"The First Emperor cannot be wrong!"
"You still don't understand power."
"In the whole world, only the imperial power is supreme."
"The emperor is the only one!"
"Even the truth must bow to the emperor."
"All the emperor's power comes from the imperial power, not the so-called fairness of facts. If these facts are harmful to the imperial power, then don't forget about these facts!"
"Good things go to the top, and sins go to the bottom!"
"The First Emperor made a mistake when he was the King of Qin, but when the First Emperor became the Emperor and carved the four words 'Fengtian Chengyun' under He's Bi, he could not make any mistakes."
"How can an emperor recognized by heaven be wrong?"
"How can you make a mistake?"
"I know your thoughts, but you don't understand the position of the First Emperor."
"There are many spies in the world today who want to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. If the First Emperor admits his mistake, I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil in an instant. At that time, more and more unscrupulous people will question the imperial court and the Qin Dynasty's ownership of the world."
"Then Great Qin will be in real danger."
"You still don't understand!"
Ying Zheng is gone.
The back view shows desolation and silence.
Looking at the lonely back of Chief Qin, Qin Luoheng felt very uncomfortable.
He heard what Ying Zheng said.
Although he felt something was wrong, he was unable to refute it.
In fact, his temperament is still somewhat arrogant, and he always feels that his vision and knowledge are much higher than those of the ancients today.
He could understand Qin's politics, but he couldn't accept it.
He has always had a sense of superiority.
But now, he feels that he was wrong.
It's so wrong.
Every era has its limitations. Regardless of the era, he believes that his knowledge and talents far exceed those of everyone in the world, but if placed in the current situation, he may only be regarded as an average person.
With the understanding of history from later generations, he could nod and comment on the Qin Dynasty and talk eloquently. However, when he really integrated into the Qin Dynasty, he realized that he was no smarter than the people in the world, and the decisions made by the people in the world might be the most correct in the world.
His imaginary strategies for governing the world completely disregarded the historical status quo.
You are simply deceiving yourself.
Qin Shihuang worked hard to create this centralized empire. Nowadays, there are many snoops in the world who want to overthrow the empire created by Qin Shihuang and return the world to the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you want to deter the world, you must maintain absolute control.
authority.
Admitting your mistake is a recipe for death!
Looking at the empty streets, Qin Luoheng sighed.
Said to himself:
"I'm still too naive."
"What you see on paper is ultimately shallow, but you know you have to do it!"
...
Sitting on the carriage, Ying Zheng shook his head.
He didn't think Qin Luoheng could understand those words.
In his position, he seeks his own government.
Qin Luoheng has never dealt with political affairs, and all his information sources are based on hearsay. He relies entirely on random thoughts about governance, and he doesn't have much personal experience in governance. But he also knows that Qin Luoheng's starting point is good.
It’s just that he doesn’t understand yet!
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He was considering whether to let Qin Luoheng handle political affairs, just like Fusu handled the political affairs of the court, so that he could have a general experience of how the world works. But thinking of Qin Luoheng's current status,
He couldn't help but frown.
soon.
The carriage roared into the imperial city.
As soon as he returned to Xianyang Palace, the censor Qi Gill came to see him.
"Qi Gill?" A sharp look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he immediately waved his sleeves and said, "Xuan."
Qi Yi entered the hall with a solemn expression.
He bowed and said:
"I will see you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng looked at Qi Yi coldly and said, "What I asked you to check is how is it going?"
Qi Yi bowed and said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I have found some information."
"The prophecy that has been widely circulated in Xianyang recently was attributed to several Confucian scholars."
"However, I have also found out that this matter is related to the former nobles of the Six Kingdoms in the city. The reason why the prophecy can spread so widely is because these people are secretly fueling the fire."
"I request an order to investigate and deal with this matter!"
Ying Zheng glanced at Qi Gill sharply.
He said coldly:
"Only a few maesters."
"I don't believe it."
"Go down and continue the investigation. I don't believe that just a few bachelors can spread this rumor. I don't care what method you use. I only want the results. If it is found to be related to officials, investigate the relevant officials and find to be related to the doctor's academy."
It’s about dealing with these doctors.”
"The remaining evildoers from the six countries will be directly investigated and dealt with."
"Those who spread rumors, spread rumors, and spread rumors in the city will be severely punished."
"I'll give you five days."
"Five days later, there are still rumors circulating in the city. I'm going to ask you about it!"
"I obey the order." Qi Yi said in a solemn voice.
...
Doctoral Palace.
Zixiang looked at his elder brother with a cold expression, and asked with hatred: "Brother, tell me the truth. Does the prophecy spreading in the city this time have anything to do with you?"
Kong Yu's face froze.
He shook his head and said:
"Zixiang, you have misunderstood me."
"After I was humiliated by Zheng Guo last time, I didn't even go out much during this period. How could I participate in this prophecy? Your brother, although I am not knowledgeable, I still know some rights and wrongs. I don't know about this matter.
How dare I interfere with you without permission?"
Zixiang looked at Kong Kun suspiciously.
Surprised and said:
"Brother really wasn't involved?"
"Brother, you must not lie about this."
"I have some friendship with Yushi Qi Ji. We met on the road just now. Qi Ji told me that the First Emperor was asking him to investigate the matter strictly. If it is found that doctors from the Doctor's Academy were involved, we cannot afford to be blamed.
.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kong Yu chuckled:
"Zixiang, you are really worrying too much."
"We are doctors personally appointed by the First Emperor. We are the ones in charge of the world's literature. No one has ever offended His Majesty in the past, but the First Emperor only scolded him. How could he actually kill those doctors?"
"You are too worried."
"Even if there is a Confucian doctor involved, it is probably just a rebuke. Our Confucian school is now the leader of the school in the academy. Dr. Seventy-Two, our Confucian school accounts for 70%. At present, rumors are spreading in Xianyang. If they attack our Confucian school
, may lead to greater turmoil, how can the First Emperor lose a big thing because of a small thing?"
Kong Yu looked calm.
Zixiang didn't think so at all.
He shook his head and said:
"Brother, what you said is wrong."
"One moment is not the other. In the past, most of the other doctors just spoke ill of each other and did not have any influence on the court or the political affairs. But now the people in Xianyang are floating. If there are really Confucian doctors involved, the First Emperor may not really be able to take action.
.”
"Qi Yi informed me, I'm afraid it's because of this."
"This prophecy scandal has spread so quickly. I'm afraid someone is secretly promoting it. We have to keep an eye on it. If it is too involved, it may be plotted against others and become a scapegoat for others. Brother, please don't be careless."
"Is this matter so exaggerated?" Kong Yu said with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "I did not participate in it, but..."
"Someone in the academy is involved."
"who?"
Kong Yu said:
"Gao Tangsheng and Yang Zi are the ones here."
"It can't be said that they were involved. To be precise, it was their bachelors who were involved. They even helped change the prophecy."
"Yangzi, Gaotangsheng?" Zixiang frowned, and then said coldly: "Brother, you should disassociate yourself from these two people as soon as possible."
"Whether they are intentional or not, they have been involved in this prophecy incident. The status of these two people in the Doctor's Palace is not high. If the First Emperor takes action, he will not have the slightest scruples."
"Brother, please don't worry about the feelings of your colleagues."
"Right now, my Confucian private school has spread throughout the counties in Shandong. It won't be long before my Confucian knowledge can take root in the local area. Now is the stage for us to hide our capabilities and bide our time. We must not get involved in these disasters. If it attracts the attention of the court,
, it will only bring disaster to our Confucian family!"
"What is the purpose of my Confucius study for the ninth generation?"
"Come to the temple!"
"Now that the Qin Dynasty is unstable, it is the time for Confucianism to grow. If we miss this great opportunity, we, the Confucianists, who want to dominate the world's literature and control the temples, will have very few opportunities. Even if we want to develop our Confucianism, we will not know.
How long will it take?”
"Brother, you have to act with caution."
Kong Yu's face darkened.
A lot of sweat overflowed from his forehead.
He was obviously aware of the impact of this incident on Confucianism.
Guaranteed:
"Zixiang, don't worry."
"How can I, Kong Kun, dare to forget the great ambitions of our ancestors?"
"During this period, I will not participate in any major events. I will draw a clear line with these two doctors later. From now on, I will concentrate on studying knowledge at home. It will never affect my long-term Confucian plan."
Zixiang frowned slightly.
Ning Sheng said:
"Brother, you don't have to be so careful."
"It's just that the current situation is delicate and we must not take it lightly."
"Although there is some turmoil in the world, it is still under the control of the First Emperor. If we accidentally get involved, the Legalists may find an opportunity. When memorials are submitted one after another, the situation of our Confucianists will only get worse.
difficult."
"There's nothing wrong with being cautious."
"But...if we really don't participate, it's not necessarily true. The turmoil in the world is actually beneficial to our Confucian family. It's just that our Confucian family can only participate in a superficial way and cannot get involved too deeply. Besides, my brother and I
You must not get involved."
"Everyone else in Confucianism can have trouble."
"Only I, Confucius, can't!"
"If Confucius falls, the banner of Confucianism will definitely change its banner. At that time, Confucianism will not be the Confucianism of our Confucius family, but the Confucianism of other Confucian students."
"How deeply can they understand the kingly and benevolent governance of their ancestors?"
