Chapter 276: Why tolerate Xiaoren and disrupt the great government?
The next day.
As soon as it gets dark, the city becomes noisy.
Today is the time for the Top 100 Celebrities to ride a bicycle, and many people in the city have been waiting eagerly early in the morning.
Some people wondered: "Isn't there only ninety-six scholars in this grand event? Why is it called the Hundred Famous Scholars?"
A commoner scholar said: "You don't know something about this. The Hundred Famous Scholars is just an honorific title. It does not necessarily refer to one hundred scholars. Moreover, this event actually happens to have only one hundred people."
"Isn't there ninety-six? How can there be a hundred people?"
The scholar said with a proud face: "You don't know who the review officials are this time? Prime Minister Wang, Old Prime Minister Wei, Doctor Dun and Wei Li Sting, are there exactly four of them? In addition to these
Ninety-six people, is that exactly one hundred people?"
Hear the words.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all muttered: "How can there be such a calculation? How can Prime Minister Wang and others be compared to these scholars?"
The scholar said: "It is true that Prime Minister Wang Lao and others are not comparable to these scholars, but they are the review officials of this grand meeting. They can review the examination papers of these scholars. Their ability must be above these scholars.
I said the four of them, Prime Minister Wang and Lao, can be included in the list, what’s the problem?”
When everyone heard it, this was the truth.
He also nodded and said:
.
"That seems to be the truth."
"According to what you said, he should indeed be called one of the Hundred Famous Scholars."
All kinds of strange topics were being chatted around, and suddenly the crowd fell silent.
Everyone looked up and looked aside.
I could only hear the clatter of horse hooves coming from far and near, and at the same time, there was a voice full of passion: "When I was a young man in bright clothes and angry horses, I saw all the Xianyang flowers."
The horse riding begins!
...
Xianyang Palace.
While the hundred celebrities were riding for fun, Li Si had just finished reporting the political affairs to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, it is those scholars who are riding at this time."
When you were walking around the streets, you were full of knowledge and your knowledge was far ahead of these people. Did you ever feel envious when you saw them making a show of themselves?"
Li Si's expression remained unchanged.
He said coldly:
"Why do I envy these scholars?"
"I have gained your Majesty's trust. Now, as one of the nine ministers, I am in charge of the justice of the world. As a courtier of the Qin Dynasty, I have always only had Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty, and the imperial court in my heart. These scholars may seem to be famous, but in fact they are just empty names.
, they are not worthy of praise at all. As time goes by, who in the world will still remember them?"
"But Chen is different."
"I am Your Majesty's subject. I have followed Your Majesty over the years, determined to innovate the world, and have established immortal achievements in the world. In the future, I will definitely follow Your Majesty and be famous throughout the ages,"
"Why should I envy them?"
"Haha." Ying Zheng stroked his beard and laughed, nodded and said: "What you said is true. These celebrities are just seeking temporary fame, but I, you and other ministers are seeking fame that will last forever. How can the two be compared?
, I am short-sighted.”
Li Si bowed quickly.
immediately.
Ying Zheng's smile faded and he did not continue to say more. He turned to ask: "This grand meeting is about the great governance of the world. You should have heard some of the governance strategies. Please tell me about it. What suggestions do you have for these scholars?"
What are your views on governance strategies?”
Li Si looked solemn and said coldly: "I think these are all absurd remarks."
"Why do you say this?" Ying Zheng said calmly.
Li Si bowed and said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"Da Qin implemented a legal system."
"The Qin Dynasty has never pursued great governance. The Qin Dynasty only needs the people to obey the orders of the government. If the people are well fed and clothed, and the world is unified, how can the people continue to work hard?"
"When people have nothing to do, they are proud and carefree; when they work hard, they are easy to do."
"Da Qin is based on the governance of counties and counties, aims at centralizing power for governance, focuses on administering governance to the people, and focuses on concentrating governance power on the central government. What it seeks is effective top-down governance."
"What these scholars seek is all based on their own selfish interests and is a strategy to disrupt the country."
Li Si's eyes were sharp.
He obviously hated the governance strategies proposed by the scholars.
His disgust was not concealed at all.
Ying Zheng said expressionlessly: "What about what Qin Luoheng said?"
Li Si's eyes became colder and colder.
Cold voice said:
"These are the words of the chaotic people!"
"If this grand event had not been approved by His Majesty, I would have ordered that all those who deceive the public with their monstrous talk would be moved to the border towns and severely punished."
"How dare people who are in chaos dare to discuss state affairs arbitrarily?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said:
“If you listen both, you will be enlightened; if you believe only, you will be dark.”
"How could Da Qin not have this kind of tolerance?"
"What they said makes sense to me, and I might be able to use it in the future."
Li Si quickly bowed and said, "I was reckless."
Finished.
There was a trace of hesitation on Li Si's face, as if he was hesitant to speak. His actions naturally fell into the eyes of Ying Zheng, who said: "What else do you have in mind? But it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, I am incapable of explaining and dare not speak nonsense."
Ying Zheng smiled indifferently and said nonchalantly: "Li Si, are you afraid that I won't hear the offensive words? I know that you have always had your own opinions, but you have become more and more shunned in recent years. Could it be that
Did I stop you from saying anything?"
Li Si trembled.
He quickly said:
"I have no intention of doing so."
"It's just that recently I have been busy with trivial matters and between the two governments. I have not considered some things carefully and am worried that my words will be too rash, so I choose to remain silent. It is not that I deliberately choose to stay out of things. Your Majesty has insight."
Until the Ming Dynasty, the old ministers were deeply impressed by it."
Ying Zheng said indifferently:
"In that case, why didn't you say anything?"
"If your words are really inappropriate, I will forgive you."
Li Si's face was filled with emotion and he said: "Your Majesty treats me this way, so I have the courage to speak out."
"explain!"
Li Sidao: "I believe that this gathering of scholars should not be so grand. Your Majesty is a little too trusting in Qin Luoheng. It was originally just an ordinary gathering of scholars, but Qin Luoheng relied on your majesty's trust to attend the event again and again.
The standards were raised, and on the day of the grand event, the order was repeatedly violated."
"Now this grand event has become the focus of the whole city. The empty words of these scholars have actually been echoed by many people. This is a sign of chaos."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I think it must be observed!"
Finished.
Li Si paused for a moment.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and said expressionlessly: "Continue."
Li Si bowed and said:
"promise."
"Da Qin has its own laws."
"No one is allowed to overstep."
"Qin Luoheng is just a doctor, why can he speak on behalf of the imperial court in front of all the people?"
"What's more, he wants to put his own ideas on the court. Isn't this coercing the people? Now that he has gained the recognition of many people in the city through his words of persuasion, isn't this not a coercion of the people in the past?
Talking against the government?"
"What did he say about Confucianism in the Doctor's Academy?"
"It is said that when Confucian scholars cause chaos in the country, the most serious harm is not done by those in charge, but by making noises and causing troubles. But what he is doing now is not the same as that of Confucian scholars? Moreover, his power of making noises and planning ability
, I’m afraid it’s still above Confucianism.”
"The great events in the world cannot be accomplished by words, but they are caused by noise and deception."
"Words can cause chaos, and chaos can destroy a country!"
"How can your Majesty be so benevolent as to ignore the great political chaos?"
Ying Zheng was silent for a long time and then said: "I asked him to host the grand event. If I punish him now, wouldn't it make the world think that I am mean and ungrateful?"
Li Sidao:
"No."
"When the late King Zhaoxiang was ill, the people bought cattle and went home to pray for the king. The king said: 'Zi's man Erjia, he is good at praying without being ordered... and he will change the law and follow it in his heart.
, the law is not established; the law is not established, this is the way to chaos and destruction!'"
"If the laws of the Qin Dynasty do not allow it, then you must insist that you cannot do it."
"We must not set such a precedent."
"Now Qin Luoheng and these scholars have arbitrarily discussed the state affairs and have violated the law in public. If they are not severely punished, I am afraid that other people will follow suit. When the time comes, the people will use their words to disrupt the law, and the country will be in chaos. I recommend that these people turn to chaos.
Also, move it to a border town."
"In this way, people will no longer dare to discuss state affairs."
"Only in this way will the people not dare to be arrogant, and will continue to respect the court, and the world can truly achieve effective top-down governance."
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Ying Zheng Dandan said: "Shang Jun's law enforcement is based on the future. If you are not guilty, you will be ignored. If you are guilty, no one will be forgiven. This event is what I agreed to, so why should I punish you?
"
"Of course I don't want to break the law."
"But now that the matter has come to this, if we continue to blame others, wouldn't it be too much to tolerate?"
"Let's leave it like this."
"However, you are right. The main reason why this happened is Qin Luoheng. You go down first. I will handle this matter myself."
Li Si was at a loss.
Zuo Yi said:
"No, I will retire."
Li Si slowly exited the palace.
When Li Si had completely walked away, Ying Zheng's eyes darkened and he said indifferently: "I am indeed too indulgent to you. I thought you would understand what the Dharma is after reading so many Legalist scriptures, but you still let me
disappointed."
"Go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and go down to the five oceans to catch turtles?"
"Does Da Qin need it?"
"Does the imperial court not know about the hidden dangers within Da Qin? Do you want to tell them through your mouth? And everyone in the world knows about it? I have already prepared a topic for you to discuss, but it happens that everyone wants to discuss the country's affairs. Since you think so
When discussing national affairs, why didn’t you serve in the Qin Dynasty?"
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky, his eyes getting colder and colder.
the other side.
The streets of Xianyang are full of people.
Yesterday, the number of people that Ji Que could accommodate was extremely limited. Now, as they paraded through the streets, many people could finally get a glimpse of the faces of the Hundreds of Famous Scholars. The scholars sitting on their tall horses also looked happy, with unstoppable excitement on their faces.
smile.
Most of these scholars came from noble families and had learned to ride horses to some extent. Of course, there were also some who came from poor families. They had not learned the Six Arts, so they did not know how to ride horses. These people sat on horses and had others lead the horses.
And go.
Even so.
It is difficult to conceal the joy of everyone.
Qin Luoheng rode his horse and walked ahead. After traveling in the city for nearly an hour, the tour finally came to an end. Qin Luoheng turned around, cupped his hands in front of everyone on the horse and said: "After this farewell, the mountains are high and the water is far away, maybe
When we meet again, things have changed and people have changed."
