Chapter 265 Although there are thousands of people, I will go!
Hear the words.
The people who were originally in a frenzied state seemed to have been poured ice water on their heads. They calmed down and looked up at the figure on the high platform.
Qin Luoheng's expression did not change, he glanced at the old man with a slightly focused gaze, and said calmly: "Although I really want to say that this should be the great rule of the Qin Dynasty, but in fact, this is indeed my personal opinion."
The old man stared blankly and said in disappointment: "Even if you talk about it and describe the Qin Dynasty as rich and prosperous, these are false after all and are just your wishful thinking. You are just a doctor. You can't be the master of the Qin Dynasty, and you can't rule the world. Lord of all living beings.”
"The one who can really make the decision..."
"It's the emperor sitting in Xianyang Palace!"
"It's not you!
"
The old man's voice fell.
The expressions of everyone around him suddenly changed.
The old man's words surprised everyone, and he directly targeted the First Emperor.
A moment.
The surroundings of Ji Que were as quiet as cicadas.
No one dared to speak out anymore, everyone held their breath and concentrated for fear of being implicated.
The faces of the people who were next to the old man turned pale, and they crowded behind him in panic, fearing that they would be misunderstood and become a fish in the pond.
The faces of the scholars in the arena were gloomy.
They all looked at the old man in unison.
His eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
Many of them hated Qin to their core, but they did not dare to point the finger directly at Qin Shihuang.
The old man in front of them did something they didn't dare to do, and directly pointed the finger at Qin Shihuang. His words were extremely sharp and hit the point directly.
They stared at the old man, as if they wanted to see through him, but no matter how they thought about it, they could not find the corresponding person in their minds. This old man seemed to be an ordinary old man, who just had a flash of inspiration and subconsciously He revealed what was on his mind.
But no one dared to really regard him as an ordinary old man.
Now in the hearts of most people, Ying Zheng is still as high as the sky, and he is extremely respected. In the past, Xianyang would be scolded if he dared to address the emperor by his title. What's more, this person directly targeted the First Emperor. How can ordinary people be like this? Big courage and consciousness?
even.
They themselves don’t even dare!
Just when everyone was suspicious, a hearty laugh instantly brought them back to consciousness. Qin Luoheng laughed and said: "Yes, I am indeed just a doctor from Great Qin, and I cannot be the master of the world, but Can’t I express my opinion?”
"A hundred schools of thought contend, and various scholars discuss the Tao."
"Could it be that the sages of the past were able to make decisions for the world at that time?"
"It is human nature to care about the world."
"In order to realize their grand ambitions, the sages traveled to the princes and spread their knowledge widely, thereby creating a hundred schools of thought. From the words of one person to the word of a family, it was even like the Legalism, which directly became the law of the world."
"What I say now is indeed just my personal opinion, but why can't it be promoted and become the consensus of the world?"
"If everyone in the world has this as their goal, why can't it be a walk of ten people, a walk of a hundred people, a walk of ten thousand people, or even a walk of tens of millions of people? It may be a path full of thorns, but with more people walking, It may not be possible to really follow the prosperous road, so why can't China achieve long-lasting success?"
"Mencius said: Wherever the Tao is, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there!"
"Why can't I, Qin Luoheng, plan for the Qin Dynasty? For the people of the world? For the eternity of China?"
"The journey of the great road, the world is for the common good!"
"In those days, the scholars were able to write books and establish theories, and traveled around to promote their thoughts and ideas. The scholars faced all kinds of obstacles and difficulties from all sides, but they were still unfazed. But today, there is no danger of war in the country. With the imperial court plowing By conquering the Huns and Baiyue at Tingsao Cave, there will be no worries about external troubles, and there will be no worries at home and abroad, so it may not be impossible to achieve long-term peace and stability."
"Da Qin has always had the ambition to innovate."
"Why can't my ambition become the ambition of Great Qin?"
"The rivers never give up day and night, the years never leave a gray head, and the dead are like this. Although saints and sages cannot stay in the world forever! Only because of this, we, as people in this world, should work together to do the things that should be done in our era. "
"The longevity of your merits will last for eternity!
"
"in this way."
“I’m not worthy of traveling to this world!”
"I know that many of you slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me. If it were normal, I would definitely choose to ignore it and wait for a few more years. Let's see. You are in the same situation, but I chose to argue with reason, do you know why?"
"It is widely rumored that I was once a deceased person."
"But it's true."
"In my early years, I wandered around the world. I saw the smell of wine and meat in wealthy families. I also saw bones frozen to death on the road. I saw flocks of orioles and swallows in the city. I also saw the outsiders in the city. I even saw Yizi eating. There is so much tragedy, but as a human being, a person of flesh and blood, I don’t think the world should be like this.”
"But people in troubled times are just meaner than grass!"
"It didn't take long for the world to be unified. After the world was unified, even though Great Qin was wrong in all kinds of ways, it at least gave many people a chance to survive. It also allowed many people to no longer have to be displaced, and no longer had to worry about their families being destroyed, their wives, etc. Even though my body is full and I am still struggling, I finally have a way to survive."
"Compared to troubled times."
"The people under Da Qin's rule are at least individuals!"
"Although they don't have names and surnames like you, at least the government has registered their names, and they will no longer be called like animals like in troubled times."
"The Qin Dynasty did use its people excessively, but it was never as cruel and unkind as you say, nor was it so cruel that the people were in dire straits."
"This is the sixth year of Great Qin."
"The laws of the Qin Dynasty have not yet become obsolete. The "Qin Law·Shu Code" still stipulates that a family cannot recruit two people to do corvee at the same time. During the season, you need to take 20 days off to go home and work on the farm."
"You have only seen the severe punishments and laws of the Qin Dynasty, but you have not seen the continuous increase in local grain production after the promotion of land laws and industrial laws."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The iron production in Da Qin was not high, but the court still used a large amount of wrought iron for farm tools. Da Qin did indeed conscript people into corvee service many times, but the rivers, canals and rivers were blocked. After dredging, the local living environment and water irrigation problems have been greatly improved."
"You only saw the Great Qin's military campaign, but you didn't see the misery of the people in the northern and southern frontiers when the Xiongnu went south and the Baiyue invaded the border. It was only because of the Great Qin's northern expedition against the Xiongnu and the southern capture of the Baiyue that you could sit so safely
Here, there’s lots of talking and laughing.”
"Da Qin did make a lot of mistakes."
"But until now, I still think that Da Qin has made efforts to improve people's living standards, but due to many aspects, the court's focus has never been on people's livelihood. Even so, Da Qin has actually done things for the people.
A lot of things have happened, but at least they are living better now than in troubled times."
"You may laugh at my self-righteousness."
"But little does he know."
"I've always practiced it personally."
"The public toilets being built across the country are actually made by me. You may have tasted a kind of spice in the city in the past few days, and this chili pepper is also made by me. It is now commonly used by doctors all over the country as a first-aid agent.
The law also comes from me."
"I know that my abilities are limited, but I am doing my best."
"I have experienced the horrors of the world, so I don't want Great Qin to repeat the same mistakes and continue to fall into endless wars. Maybe many of you can make great profits and show your talents in the wars, but the world's
How innocent are our people?”
"Once the war breaks out again, the world will be devastated, and every ten houses will be empty. China has already experienced this miserable situation for hundreds of years, so why should it continue to sink into it?"
"The chaos of the Warring States Period was brought to an end by the Qin State. It should be Qin who healed the wounds of the war, allowed the world to implement great governance, and allowed the people to recuperate and recuperate. Now the imperial court is gathering scholars to come to Xianyang in order to open a prosperous road for the people.
But you stopped me again and again."
"You are really unworthy of being a scholar!"
"In that case."
"I don't think there is any need to hold this grand event."
"How infatuated am I, Qin Luoheng, in trying to wake up everyone who is pretending to be asleep?"
"All the pens, inks, paper and inkstones I promised to give you will be given to you later, and the pens and inks you left for the test will also be returned to you later."
"You can rest assured for now."
"The imperial court does what it says. No matter you are anti-Qin people or people who rebel against the Qin Dynasty, the imperial court will forget the blame this time. But I have to say something ugly in front of you. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, don't blame the sword for being blind.
Yes, you have your ambition, and I also have my moral integrity."
"I just hope we won't sigh to each other by then."
"The soldiers are safe. The soldiers are safe. The people are safe. Fill the gullies. Sigh that the country remains the same, thousands of villages are scattered!"
Finished.
Qin Luoheng waved his hands around.
In an instant, an attendant came forward and placed the promised pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the heads of the scholars one by one. Then Gu also took the articles written by the scholars, looked at the names written on them, and shouted loudly
He said, but his voice was slightly cold.
The names of each scholar rang out in Jique.
But no one responded.
At this moment, the shouting of each name was not as honorable as it was at first, but rather like a kind of humiliation before execution. Moreover, the execution was done in public. All the scholars present were blushing and looked extremely ashamed.
at this time.
The old man in ragged clothes slowly stood up from the ground.
He did not speak again, but looked at Qin Luoheng with a gloomy look, but quickly withdrew it without being noticed by others. He seemed to be a little unwell, his expression was very weak, his face was not good, and his eyes looked
Very turbid.
He squeezed into the crowd and moved away.
Zhang Liang sat on the table and glanced at the old man with a focused look, then glanced at Qin Luoheng again, his eyes thoughtful.
Qin Luoheng was waiting for them to make the final decision.
He chose to completely break with Qin.
Or choose to be a 'scholar', in order to serve the world at the same time, do what a scholar does, and speak out for the world.
In full view of the public, this decision was not easy to make.
"The Qin people are really consistent in their tyranny!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but shook his head.
