Chapter 386: Those who submit to Qin will prosper, and those who oppose Qin will perish!
Wait for Qin Luoheng to go to the lobby.
In the lobby, only Fu Su had his back turned. Qin Luoheng entered and saluted, "I have met the eldest son."
Fusu turned around, glanced at Qin Luoheng, and then said: "Qin Shangshuling, can your body be fully restored?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"Thank you, eldest son, for your concern. My body has basically fully recovered."
"I wonder why the eldest son came here?"
Fusu was silent for a while.
He opened his mouth and said:
"I'm here for Confucianism."
"Perhaps my arrival is not at the right time."
"Nor should it."
"But I thought I had to come."
Qin Luoheng frowned.
He didn't say anything, just went to the side, sat down, and gave the main seat to Fusu. Fusu naturally understood Qin Luoheng's intention. He glanced at the top main seat and did not choose to sit down.
Instead, he chose to sit on the same side as Qin Luoheng, with the two of them next to each other, only two or three feet apart.
Qin Luoheng did not rush to reply, but loudly shouted outside: "Come here, go bring some tea."
During the few months he was recuperating in Dongjun, Qin Luoheng accidentally discovered a few tea trees, so he specially asked people to roast some tea. When he came to Xuejun, he took a lot with him.
soon.
Then a clerk brought tea in.
Qin Luoheng smiled and said: "My eldest son, this is a drink I discovered accidentally. Although it is slightly bitter in the mouth, it is sweet afterward. It can be regarded as bitter first and then sweet. You may wish to try this tea, eldest son."
Food also has many benefits for the body.”
Finished.
He took a sip to himself.
Seeing this, Fusu looked at the steaming tea and took a sip. After a brief taste, his eyes couldn't help but show a touch of surprise, and he praised: "This tea is indeed extraordinary. I came to Xue County at the right time.
"
Suddenly.
Qin Luoheng said:
"The eldest son, if you have any thoughts on this trip, it doesn't matter."
Fusu put down the tea bowl, his face became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "You may have guessed the purpose of my visit. I am not begging for Confucianism, I just want you to change the execution place."
"Confucians should not be humiliated by this!"
Qin Luoheng said lightly:
"humiliation?"
"How can I see it?"
Fusu frowned and said in a concentrated voice: "Isn't it a humiliation to execute a Confucian scholar in the place where Confucius taught? Confucianism has indeed committed a serious crime this time and deserves to be punished. However, after all, Confucianism is a school of thought and is the most popular school in the world.
He has a wide reputation, and if Confucians are executed in this way, I am afraid it will arouse a lot of dissatisfaction and discomfort."
"Besides."
"The imperial court's Northern Expedition has just come to an end, and the world is now aiming for stability."
"When the people are determined, the world is determined. Confucian scholars are just a group of literati. Even if they despise the law, despise the Qin government, and even criticize the Qin government, how can a group of literati achieve anything? If they can be executed, why should they humiliate Confucianism?
So thorough?"
"Back then, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Boyi and Shu Qining were solitary and loyal ministers that they refused to eat Zhou Su. King Wu did not kill them and did not care about them. This was because a few pedantic people were not enough to shake the world, but now Confucian scholars have done so.
The restoration mission should be executed according to the law, so I will not go to Emperor Shufu to show mercy and pardon the Confucians."
"But in my opinion, most of the words and deeds of today's Confucian scholars are due to the laziness of their school's nostalgia and retrogression, and are intended to flaunt the integrity of Confucianism's uniqueness in the world. Such pedantic scholars seriously care about it, and even completely destroy Confucianism. It is really a bit
After that, executing hundreds of people in Xue County will probably give the Confucians more excuses to disrupt the population, and will also make the local people panic."
"There is no doubt that the sins of Confucian scholars have led to death."
"It's just that it's really not appropriate to execute Xue County, but to choose another place. Only in this way can we avoid further intensification of the Qin-Confucian conflict, and prevent the local people from falling into long-term mourning, which will affect the stability of the local people."
"I hope the minister will think twice about the pros and cons of this."
"Xiao He thinks so too?" Qin Luoheng said coldly.
"Chief Xiao has not discussed this matter with me, but he does not approve of my coming to Xue County." Fusu answered simply.
"Why do you still insist on coming, your eldest son?" Qin Luoheng sighed softly.
Fusu said:
"I don't think it's appropriate to deal with Confucianism like this."
"Isn't that appropriate?" Qin Luoheng sneered and shook his head: "Eldest Young Master, you still haven't seen the situation clearly. Isn't this inappropriate? The Confucian case is entangled. In addition to the serious violation of the law by Confucianism itself, it also involves the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the restoration forces.
, whether it is to kill Confucian scholars or to forgive Confucian scholars, it is all aimed at deterring the restoration forces behind them."
"But why did the imperial court decide to kill him?"
"Because the situation in the world has changed!"
"The eldest son said that Confucianism is pedantic, but I disagree. Is Confucianism really pedantic?"
"As far as political matters are concerned, Confucianism has never been pedantic. Otherwise, it would not have thought of setting up private schools in various places to spread its own school of thought."
"Furthermore, is it pedantic for Confucius to kill Shaozhengmao? Did Meng Fuzi scold Mozi's politicians for being pedantic? Is it pedantic for Kong Yu and other Confucian scholars to advocate the vassal system? Confucius colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and attacked and killed court officials.
, pedantic?”
"If Confucianism can be considered pedantic, then I'm afraid we are stupid."
"I know that the eldest son has been deeply influenced by Confucianism and deeply believes in the benevolence of Confucianism, but the eldest son must not forget that Da Qin adheres to the rule of law, and everything that Da Qin does is done according to the rule of law. Today's Confucian students
Those who want to restore the Qin Dynasty must be severely punished. If your Majesty cannot pronounce, the law will not allow it."
"As for your suggestion..."
"All I can say is that it's stupid!!!"
"Eldest Young Master, you have never understood one thing."
"Confucianism is indeed one of the hundred schools of thought, but there is a condition for the so-called hundred schools of thought."
"When Confucianism belonged to the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism was indeed one of the hundred schools of thought, and even the leader of literature in the world. But when it no longer belongs to the Qin Dynasty, there will no longer be a place for Confucianism in the world."
"You remember the Confucian teachings to you."
"I can understand."
"But it is absolutely absurd to try to use this as a chance for Confucianism to survive!"
"The reason why I set the place of execution in Xue County and the place where the so-called sages gave lectures is to completely trample the past glory of Confucianism, to completely reveal the true face of Confucianism, and to let the world see how hypocritical the so-called Confucianism is.
I am not disrespectful to the sage Confucius, otherwise I could just settle in Lu County instead of Xue County."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After tomorrow..."
"Confucianism is removed from the world!"
"This move is also a warning to scholars all over the world."
"From now on, those who submit to Qin will prosper, and those who oppose Qin will perish!"
Hear the words.
Fusu's expression suddenly changed.
He looked at Qin Luoheng with horror in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that these words actually came from Qin Luoheng's mouth.
He originally thought that Qin Luoheng's decision to set the location in Xue County just wanted to humiliate Confucianism and make those who came from Confucianism feel ashamed. However, he did not expect that Qin Luoheng did not mean this at all. He wanted to destroy Confucianism and bring down those who were most deeply influenced by Confucianism.
The counties and counties directly carried out a complete 'baptism' physically, so that Confucianism could never recover.
He really wants to exterminate Confucianism!!!
Fusu said in a trembling voice: "Why did Confucianism come to this point?"
Qin Luoheng said coldly:
“Why can’t Confucianism stop here?”
"Even you can't absolve Confucianism of its sins. The crimes committed by Confucianism are evident."
"Confucianism is stupid and stubborn. They have repeatedly resisted the new policies and laws. Now they are even more rebellious, resisting the laws of Qin, setting up private schools, and intending to disrupt the world. All the misdeeds of Confucianism are known to both the government and the public. If it were other subjects, they would have been killed long ago. Since the Qin Dynasty,
The law does not come out twice, there are no exceptions in the world, and there is no room for people who are outside the law."
"How the Qin Dynasty treats Confucianism, the eldest son should know better than me."
"But how did Confucianism repay the Qin Dynasty? They had no regard for His Majesty's kindness or the Qin Dynasty's tolerance. They insisted on going their own way and were willing to become the hawks of restoration. This is enough to prove that Confucianism is hopeless."
"If it is not handled in accordance with the law, where will the legal system of the Qin Dynasty be?!"
"The eldest son."
“Who in the world doesn’t know the dangers of the remnants of the restoration?”
"But this Confucian school was involved in the restoration, but it couldn't extricate itself. What's the use of keeping such a sect that has lost its conscience? In the past, the Great Qin Dynasty really wanted the Confucian school to educate the world for the court, but why did the Confucian school have any kindness? Confucian school...the world
He says that the people's heart is the heart of heaven, but has he thought about the livelihood of the people? The imperial court made them officials and wanted them to create a prosperous civilization for Qin, but what did Confucianism do?"
"Not only did he abandon his official position and run away, but he also loudly clamored for restoration. Can this be considered a scholar?"
"Confucianism is clearly a tiger and wolf that has lost its mind."
“And it’s already intolerable to the world!”
"Since Confucianism is unwilling to be tolerated by Qin, why should Qin continue to tolerate Confucianism?"
"The Great Qin Dynasty could give the Confucianists one, two, or even three or four chances, but going too far is not enough, and the various practices of the Confucianists are enough to prove that the Confucians have never thought about the imperial court at all, and are so unkind and unjust, and have lost all conscience and have no bottom line.
What is the use of this school of thought in the Qin Dynasty? It will only add trouble to the world."
"Now if we don't drive out all the Confucians."
"When Confucianism takes advantage of the local momentum to make a comeback and continue to stir up trouble, I'm afraid that Confucianism's smear campaign against the Qin court will only get worse. When the time comes to slander and misinterpret Qin's government's prophecies, I'm afraid the world will be in an uproar. My eldest son,
Although you are unmoved, can the people at the bottom really tell the difference?"
"If these evil trends cannot be suppressed, the country will be without a country."
"also."
"Scholars who study from private sources will inevitably suffer the consequences of being unable to gain a foothold in the country's studies."
"Nowadays, our country in the Qin Dynasty has no longer differentiated between black and white. However, private scholars still spread illegal knowledge. If things go on like this, the Qin Dynasty will fall into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted for hundreds of years. Such a shocking history, the eldest son has never
Feeling a little scared and uneasy?"
"You might say that Confucian scholars are nothing more than scholars."
"But how did you know that all the great events in the world are made possible by scholars?"
"The scholar's power of chattering and planning, in the Warring States period, and everything, do you really know nothing about it?"
"Since I am the person who was executed in the Confucian case, I should eliminate the future troubles. Otherwise, if Confucianism is allowed to continue to grow in the local area, sooner or later it will backfire on the court. By then, it is not up to you and me to decide what the world will be like.
.”
"Young Master is your Majesty's eldest son."
"How can the great government be disrupted because of Xiaoren?!"
"But..." Fusu sighed, as if he wanted to defend himself.
"It's nothing." Qin Luoheng interrupted directly: "In the troubled times, the various schools of thought were indeed among the hundreds of schools in the world, but now that the world is under Qin, everything should change. If they want to
If it is used by Qin, it can continue to rank among the hundreds of families. If it cannot be used by Qin, it should be wiped out from the world."
"However, the works of the sages and philosophers can continue to be left behind."
"But there is no need for schools of thought!"
"Da Qin is very big and can accommodate tens of millions of people. At the same time, Da Qin is also very small and cannot tolerate any rebellious existence."
"My eldest son, do you still remember what I said at the gathering of scholars that the time has come for hundreds of schools of thought to disappear. Confucianism is only the first, but it will never be the last."
"The future Great Qin will combine the strengths of hundreds of schools."
"Become Chinese civilization!"
Fusu looked deeply at Qin Luoheng and said nothing at this time.
Qin Luoheng stood up, stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Eldest Young Master, logically speaking, I shouldn't accuse you, but your behavior this time is indeed inappropriate. I have already made the notice to the public, and everyone in the world knows about it.
, if it suddenly changes because of you, how will the world view Qin's government? When they see Qin officials, they will probably think that Qin is a traitor."
"Did you really not think about the harm you did?"
"And I rejected you this time. If it were other officials, how would they dare to reject you? You are using the court's credit to pay for your own recklessness. It is extremely ridiculous!"
"You have always been praised by outsiders as a 'believer and warrior'. Your words are always passionate and righteous, but you don't know that justice does not necessarily mean right. For Confucianism, the actions of the eldest son are indeed benevolent and righteous.
But for Da Qin, it would be very harmful."
"When I served His Majesty in the past, I used to be arrogant and arrogant, and even said some outrageous things. His Majesty did not really blame me. But after experiencing so many things, I realized that I
What we have done in the past is so ridiculous.”
"nation!"
"Everyone has selfish motives, but as an official, you need to put national affairs first, not selfishness."
"Eldest Young Master, you are a little confused about the pros and cons. Eldest Young Master, you need to always remember that only when there is a country, there is a family. For ordinary people, it is family and country, and home comes first, but for us,
But the country is the most important, the country comes first, and the family comes last. It is true that there are countries. When the interests of the family are consistent, but when they are inconsistent, the decisions we make can determine the direction of this country."
“Even the future!!!”
"I would like to give you a piece of advice, eldest son."
"The Qin Dynasty established the country based on the rule of law, but the young master used good words to mess up the law. This is far away from the way of the New Government of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Young master, you should always think of the country in everything you do!"
Fusu remained silent.
Qin Luoheng didn't speak again.
He sat back down and slowly tasted the tea, savoring the sweetness of the tea.
It was as quiet as a deep valley.
Fusu slumped down on the table and was speechless for a long time.
a long time.
Fusu stood up, bowed deeply to Qin Luoheng, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't think carefully."
Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:
"It's not a bad idea."
"My eldest son, you are actually better than me in learning. You are just too rigid in what you have learned. You never want to face your own problems. You only think about sophistry and confusion. Your vision has always been limited to one-sidedness, and you have made mistakes again and again."
decision."
"But the undercurrent of restoration is a matter of life and death for the country. How can we tolerate any sloppiness?"
"Your Majesty is not yet fully healthy, so why does he start this big hunting tour?"
"The purpose is to fight against the undercurrent of restoration in the world, and to prevent the world from falling into turmoil again. Now that the Xiongnu have been defeated, the northern border is temporarily safe, and the imperial court can finally free up its hands to clean up the internal affairs. Such an excellent opportunity
, how can we miss it because of Xiaoren?"
"The world has been suffering for hundreds of years."
"After all, you still have to use bone scraping to heal your wounds!"
Fusu trembled. He held the desk with difficulty and sighed. Then he lowered his head and looked a little gloomy. He asked in a low voice: "May I ask the minister, how is your father's health?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"Young master, you don't need to ask me about this."
"As His Majesty's eldest son, you don't even have the courage to say hello to His Majesty?"
Speaking of which.
Qin Luoheng also had a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
He said coldly:
"When His Majesty was infected with malaria and there was an uproar in the government and the public, as His Majesty's eldest son, you not only failed to return to Xianyang in time, but also had no inquiries for a long time. Now that the Confucian family is in trouble, you rushed here anxiously and wanted to stand up for the Confucian family. Could it be that
In your heart, His Majesty’s safety is not as good as Confucian life and death?”
Fusu's face changed slightly, and he quickly explained: "I never meant this, but at that time..." The words were on his lips, but Fusu didn't say anything. In the end, he knelt directly on the ground. In the end, he
He knelt down in the direction of the imperial city and kowtowed six times, causing blood stains on his forehead.
a long time.
Fusu stood up from the ground.
whispered:
"Fu Su is unfilial and talks about kindness."
"It's really ridiculous."
"Qin...you are indeed more suitable than me. Maybe my father's decision is right. I really cannot live up to my father's expectations, nor can I bear the heavy responsibility of the world."
Finished.
Fusu left directly.
Qin Luoheng looked at Fusu's back and sighed heavily.
whispered:
"I don't want to scold you."
"It's just that Your Majesty has indeed treated Confucianism with utmost benevolence and righteousness. It is Confucianism that is responsible for the Qin government, not the Qin government that is responsible for the Confucianism. Your idea may have some truth, but the court's judgment on Confucianism has long been decided, just like a march.
Once a military order is issued, it must be followed by the three armies, and no objections are allowed."
"As His Majesty's eldest son, how can you be so stubborn over and over again?"
"When His Majesty was seriously ill, you may have been in pain, but you never asked Your Majesty, but it is a fact. My eldest son, over the years, you have forgotten your original intention and have been stuck in yourself. If you don't wake up, you may...
Your Majesty is completely disappointed."
Listening to Qin Luoheng's whisper.
Fusu did not look back, and his majestic figure walked farther and farther under the candlelight in the lobby.
Until it completely disappears.
Not long after.
Gu and others returned to the lobby.
They bowed and saluted, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Qin Luoheng asked: "How is the layout of the execution ground?"
Gu Dao said: "Returning to Shangshu's order, the execution place has been arranged, and it is on the wasteland not far from the city gate."
Qin Luoheng raised his forehead slightly and said, "Are all the Confucian scholars sentenced to death escorted here?"
Solid Road:
"Everyone has been escorted over."
"There are a total of 476 Confucian scholars. In addition, there are more than 700 Confucian scholars and family members of the Confucian scholars involved. According to the law, these people will be sentenced to prison and will be sent to Beihe to serve in the subsequent construction of the Great Wall.
.”
Qin Luoheng nodded.
Yang Wudao:
"It's really a bargain for these more than 700 Confucian scholars."
"If you ask me, these Confucian scholars should be trapped and killed."
"They studied in Confucian private schools. How could they not know that private schools were banned by the imperial court? They also concealed it from each other and tried to evade capture by the imperial court. What's worse, they also tried to hide the Confucian students who committed the crime. These people should be severely punished."
Yang Wu was somewhat dissatisfied with the penalty.
but.
Zhang Xi and others understood.
The punishment given by these Confucian scholars has been very fair.
The main reason why Yang Wu was dissatisfied was that Qin Luoheng was attacked. Although no Confucian scholars were involved, Qin Luoheng was attacked at the tomb of Confucius, and if Qin Luoheng himself had not been brave enough, otherwise that attack would not have happened.
I'm afraid this is the end of it, and now only more than 400 Confucian scholars have been killed, which makes Yang Wu feel a little unhappy.
Qin Luoheng looked very calm.
Didn't say much.
After explaining what happened tomorrow, Gu asked: "Shang Shu ordered that there may be some escaped Confucian scholars present at the execution tomorrow. Do you want to send more people around? If found, directly capture these people on the spot."
?”
Qin Luoheng pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no need to rush tomorrow, but we can send more people. If there are really escaped Confucian scholars present, we can record these people and arrest them after the execution is over."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu nodded.
Having said that, Qin Luoheng did not think that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the Confucian scholars would arrive.
Now that the hidden danger of the Xiongnu has been eliminated, the situation in the world has gradually become clearer. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the Confucian scholars have clearly seen the situation in the world, and will not take risks at this time. Even the two of them, Kong Fu and Kong Xiang, although they hate themselves to the core, I am afraid
He would only flee further and not dare to get close to Xue Jun at all.
But what if? If a Confucian scholar is really stupid enough to throw himself into the trap, he will naturally be happy to accept this great gift.
Immediately, Qin Luoheng said: "After the massacre tomorrow, they will be buried directly on the spot. No outsiders will be allowed to collect their bodies, no one will be allowed to erect monuments for them, and no one will be allowed to worship them. Since Confucianism is not tolerated by Da Qin, we should give way to them."
They are completely wiped from the world, not only physically but also from consciousness."
"From now on, Confucianism will be eliminated from the world!"
"Confucian scholars will also become a thing of the past!"
Qin Luoheng's voice continued to echo in the lobby.
Gu and others were shocked.
In fact, they did not expect that Qin Luoheng would be so ruthless in his actions and would not give Confucianism any chance to stand up. He wanted to trample Confucianism to death directly.
After this incident, Confucianism was completely disgraced.
Even if Kong Yu and Kong Xiang were still alive, it would be difficult for Confucianism to summon their souls.
Confucianism will also completely become a lost dog, everyone will cry out to beat it, and it will never be able to regain its former illustrious ranks.
And this is the price of Confucianism for rebelling against Qin!
And this will also be Qin Ting's most direct attitude towards rebellion.
Those who obey Qin will prosper, and those who rebel against Qin will perish!
Gu and others bowed deeply and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to the order of the minister."
Qin Luoheng frowned slightly.
He said in a deep voice:
"I know you may have some doubts and think that my actions are too extreme and too cruel, but Confucian affairs not only represent Confucianism, but also represent the court's attitude towards rebellion. In the past, the court focused on preventing the Xiongnu and internal control.
I have deliberately chosen to turn a blind eye to everything, but now that the matter in the north is over, the imperial court will start to rectify the internal affairs in the future."
"Confucianism is just the beginning."
"It's far from over!"
"The imperial court has only one attitude towards the restoration of anti-Qin forces."
"Whoever dares to restore will die!!!"
"Now the Great Wall of the North has entered the planning stage, and construction will begin soon. It is the right time to recruit people. The world is exhausted, and blindly recruiting people is indeed too heavy. If the remnants of the Six Nations make trouble at this time, it will definitely have a big impact.
, If what I do can scare the local gangsters, it will be a good idea."
"At least it will make the remnants of the Six Kingdoms dare not be so rampant anymore."
"If the remnants of the Six Kingdoms lose their composure and take the initiative to stir up trouble, then that will play into their own agenda. The Great Wall is short of prisoners."
Everyone nodded.
Gongshou Road:
"What the minister's order said is true."
"The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have been hiding away, which is indeed a trouble."
"If the remnants of the Six Kingdoms see the miserable situation of Confucianism and start causing trouble, the imperial court will definitely know about it. By then, they may not be able to arrest all of them, but at least some of them can be caught. And the remnants of the Six Kingdoms
The local involvement is very deep. If we dig deeper, a large area will be implicated. If we continue to convict, the number of corvee conscription will be greatly reduced. However, the reputation of Shangshu Ling may be greatly affected."
Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:
"What does mere fame mean?"
"If it can reduce the corvée work of the people at the bottom, what's the harm in being stigmatized throughout the ages?"
"No more details about this matter for now."
"solid."
"How is the writing of the order I asked you to write?"
Gu said in a deep voice:
"The official has already written it."
After saying that, he took out a few bamboo pieces from his sleeves and handed them to Qin Luoheng.
Qin Luoheng finished reading, nodded, shook his head, and said: "It's not enough. The purpose of killing Confucians this time is to deter the restoration. It only involves Confucianism, which is not complete. Moreover, the exposure of Confucianism's crimes is too superficial.
But such rhetoric will not only make the people resent Confucianism, but will also make local people sympathize with Confucianism."
"And there's too much gobbledygook."
"This order targets the people at the bottom."
"If you say something nonsense, how much will the people at the bottom understand?"
"However, you have not been good at this in the past. It is really difficult for me to leave this matter to you. I will accept this order first and I will change it myself later."
Gu's face froze for a moment, and he could only nod in the end.
Then, Qin Luoheng said: "If nothing happens, you can retreat."
Several people looked at each other. Although they were curious about what the eldest son came to do, Qin Luoheng obviously didn't mention it. They didn't dare to ask more questions. They bowed slightly to Qin Luoheng, saluted, and then walked out.
.
For a while.
Qin Luoheng was the only person left in the lobby.
Qin Luoheng put aside the book written by Gu to deceive Confucian scholars, thought about it for a moment, and then started writing.
Wait until sunset.
Qin Luoheng finally corrected the book on Confucianism.
He checked it carefully and made sure there was nothing wrong, then put the bamboo piece into his lapel, ate a simple meal, and went to sleep directly.
The next day.
The sky is bright and white.
There was a buzz of people outside Xuejun City.
A sea of people came to watch the Confucians beheaded and killed...
