He had not had this level of cognition in the past, and looked at things very superficially. Like others, he also felt that Qin used some people too much and some laws were too strict. But after hearing the explanation of Qin's chief official, he
A sudden realization.
Everything actually happens for a reason.
The emperor controls the world and leads the order of the world, but everything is based on the normal operation of the system. If more and more people question the correctness of the system, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the court.
Especially to the imperial power!
In the system created by Qin Shihuang, the emperor is destined to be high and respected by all people. He is equivalent to the incarnation of God. Because most of the people at the bottom today are ignorant and ignorant, they are easily deceived by others, so deifying themselves is the most effective way.
The more the emperor is different from ordinary people, the more noble he will appear, and the more unattainable the people will feel. They will undoubtedly have more respect for the emperor in their hearts. The world respects the emperor, so they will also respect the emperor's edicts.
obey.
Just like now.
In the minds of ordinary Qin people, Qin Shihuang is a being who ascends to the sky.
But precisely because of this, the law cannot be overstepped in the slightest, because the law is a tool of imperial power and a tool to rule the world. Once there is a problem with the tool, it also means that there are cracks in the container that symbolizes authority. As more and more people
People doubt that the cracks will only get bigger and bigger until the container completely falls apart.
At that time.
Qin will become ‘Zhou’.
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will become princes!
Think of this.
Qin Luoheng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
He had never thought of this much before.
If Chief Qin hadn't woken him up, he might not have realized the problem.
Qin Luoheng bowed and saluted:
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me."
"I was indeed frivolous and dissolute in the past."
“If it hadn’t been for the senior officials’ warning, I probably wouldn’t have realized the seriousness of the problem.”
"The official said, just like what Zhuangzi said, 'Those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country are princes. In the gates of princes, benevolence and righteousness exist.' And what I said at the grand meeting can indeed be regarded as spreading benevolence and righteousness everywhere.
, this move may not be inappropriate in a time of great strife, but Qin has been unified and the world has been unified, so what I said is over."
"If the court imposes punishment, I will never complain."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng paused.
He continued: "Since the chief official has given instructions, the young man took a bold step and confided his thoughts to the chief official, and asked the chief official not to blame him."
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng and nodded indifferently.
Qin Luoheng said:
"I must have a different intention towards Qin."
"On the contrary, the reason why I did this was precisely because of my respect for Qin Ting and my admiration for the First Emperor. Although the final approach was indeed wrong, and it is wrong, I will not choose to defend myself.
.”
"The reason why I proposed that all people are human beings at the grand event was not just a whim, but actually my personal experience. In the Qin system, all people under the emperor were equal. However, in the eyes of the First Emperor and the court, the people were not all people, but
There are only groups such as nobles, powerful families, and powerful people."
"It occupies the lowest level in the world and is also the most numerous Qianshou, but few people mention it."
"Even if they know about it, they are basically indifferent."
"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, various projects have been overwhelmed, and now the number of people is so great that even the local powerful have begun to complain, let alone the people at the lowest level?"
"But does anyone really care about them?"
"No!"
"Everyone regards them as cattle and horses. They cannot speak or make trouble. They will not be like the nobles who clamor to rebel all day long. This group of people is indeed the most silent group in the world today, but as the official said
I mean, human patience has its limits."
"They are the same."
"If you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence."
"These are the only two paths for these people at the bottom in the future. The world has not yet heard the voices of these people, but if the world is in a state of high pressure for a long time, the court will gradually hear their voices, and they will become more and more heard.
many."
"Indeed."
"For thousands of years in China, those who rebelled in the past were the nobles, and it was these upper-class groups that participated in rebellion. However, the officials should also know that the world has been unified, and the Qin Dynasty is now a huge centralized empire. Qin is facing
The situation is completely different from what it used to be.”
"In the past, there were only a million people in the world."
"Now Daqin has a population of tens of millions."
"How can we generalize between the two?"
"The nobles conspired to rebel against one another, and there were precedents of three families dividing the Jin and the Tian family replacing the Qi. The Qin Dynasty strictly guarded against the restoration of the nobles, and there was no problem. However, the current situation in the world has changed since the unification of Qin."
"Although there are many fleeing nobles everywhere, how many are these people?"
"Looking at the world, maybe there are only one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands, but looking at the world, how many ministers are there in Guizhou? Tens of millions, or even more, such a huge number, if there is a riot, can the Qin Dynasty really cope with it?
"
"There is a proverb from ancient times."
"There are only those who commit a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no one who can take a thousand days to guard against theft. But if you don't even have the intention to take precautions, if a riot breaks out, who can predict the final direction of current events?"
"perhaps......"
"The Qin Dynasty died because the people at the bottom rose up!"
"Of course, the people at the bottom have their limitations. Their goals are not as big or as far-reaching as the nobles, so it is very likely that they will not be the ones to succeed in the end. However, there are too many people at the bottom. With a response, everyone in the world will rebel.
Then Qin will really be in danger."
"But why is this so?"
“What the people at the bottom want is nothing more than food and clothing.”
"It is true that many people in the Qin Dynasty are hungry now, but as long as they are given a chance to survive, they will hope for peace in the world more than the so-called scholars, hundreds of schools of thought, and nobles, and hundreds of schools of thought, nobles, and powerful people, they will
How many people can be gathered at any time?"
"The chief official said earlier that there are hundreds of prisoners in the Chu region, and the slaves are on the run. If they could survive, how could they do such a thing as killing their heads?"
"There are several laws in the "Sikong Law". Those with high status do not need to wear prison uniforms or torture tools, and they do not need to be supervised. Even if they can find someone to do the labor service on their behalf, as long as they are as strong as Chengdu, they are allowed to do the labor service on their behalf.
"
"These laws and regulations don't seem to have much problem."
"In fact, there are many loopholes."
"Nowadays, local tycoons are on the rise. There are tycoons in every village. They are the most famous and wealthy people in the township. Now the tyrants have occupied the fields of other Guizhou heads, and are using this to squeeze the local Guizhou heads, forcing these Guizhou heads to replace them.
They do hard labor.”
"This has resulted in many civilians serving in labor force multiple times."
"The labor force is already heavy, and these people are still working as servants. Under extreme oppression, the people are actually on the verge of breaking out. If the court does not give them comfort, sooner or later, these people will rise up in order to survive."
"In order to prevent chaos in the world, the imperial court has taken many preventive measures."
"What about recruiting soldiers from all over the world? What about strictly prohibiting the private possession of soldiers and armor among the people? If the people really want to rebel, how can they really not be able to make weapons? Even if the weapons are simple, the people are risking execution for rebelling. How dare they
Fighting with one's life."
"How many people can the imperial army kill?"
"One hundred thousand, one million, ten million, but can they all be killed? Do you dare to kill them all? After they are killed, how will Da Qin face the world?"
"I mean no harm."
"I just wanted to convey a point."
"The world needs great governance, the people at the bottom need to be paid attention to, and the court needs to give certain policy preferences, at least to let the people at the bottom survive. I am just a doctor. I have no right to participate in politics, and all I can do is try my best.
, to appease the people through words.”
"And use this to do things that can benefit the stability of the world."
"And that's my original intention."
"and......"
"I think Da Qin's direction of governing the world is wrong."
"The Qin Dynasty is indeed founded on law."
"But now that the world has been unified, the way of governance should also change."
"At that time, all the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty did everything to unify the world, but now that the world has been unified, the peak pursued by the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty has become a reality. Only by setting greater goals can the Great Qin continue to move forward, instead of being trapped in the peak after unification."
"Only by constantly climbing to the top can Great Qin always maintain its peak. If it really reaches the so-called peak, there will be no ambition and no room for progress, and then Great Qin will have no choice but to go down."
"What I did was certainly inappropriate."
"It's true that I didn't think about it that comprehensively."
"But if I were still in charge of this grand event, I would definitely do it again, but I would do it in a more reasonable way and with 'laws'. I would even take the initiative to write a letter to His Majesty and let the First Emperor make the judgment."
"It's just that I didn't expect the seriousness of the matter, so I missed some regulations."
"I am different from the chief officials. The chief officials have a distinguished status, but I started from the dead. I have seen the suffering in the world, and I also know deeply what the people need. Therefore, my starting point may have some good intentions, but in fact
It’s not about women’s benevolence, family and country affairs are undoubtedly the most important in the eyes of chief officials.”
"But in my eyes, that's not all."
"The system created by the First Emperor is undoubtedly very complete. It was created based on thousands of years of Chinese history. It has almost blocked any rebellion and rebellion in the past. However, the final implementation of any system is people.
"
"There will always be problems when people rule."
"Great Qin can prevent any problems that have occurred in the past, but it cannot prevent things that have never happened. The basis of Great Qin's legal system is people and human rights. The biggest human rights issue at the moment is not the aristocrats and powerful men who threaten the court, but
The life and death of the people at the lowest level.”
"The people are not slaves!"
"They are real people."
"Their requirements for life are very simple. They just want to live peacefully."
"But the imperial court only pays attention to family and national affairs, completely ignoring their most simple pursuits, and how many people at the bottom of the world are there? Once people's anger and resentment are really aroused, then the trouble will not be caused by one or two places, but all over the world.
The world."
"even......"
"The same goes for Guanzhong."
"I know that the chief official is not happy with these words, but this is what I really think. I don't want to violate the law, nor do I want to seek fame and fortune for myself. I just don't want to see Da Qin go further and further on the road of abusing people's power.
"
"Da Qin can actually take care of both."
"Just slow down the pace a little bit."
"The First Emperor is just a person!"
"He can do things that transcend the times, but he cannot always surpass them. Even if the First Emperor has the ambition to lay a foundation for the Qin Dynasty for eternity, the Qin Dynasty may not be able to support it, and the people of the Qin Dynasty may not be able to support it."
“Everything is too much and too little is too much!”
