In this world, Ying Fusu was born as the eldest son of Qin State, and he could be said to have a first-class family background.
As long as he continues this step by step, this huge Qin Empire will pass into his hands sooner or later.
After Ying Zheng conquered this world, his dream was: I will be the first emperor, and future generations will be counted, and the second and third generations will last for eternity, and my legacy will be endless.
Ying Zheng's desire to have an eternal kingdom must be delusional.
But passing the throne to Ying Fusu and letting him become the second emperor of Qin would definitely be as safe as an old dog.
There is no need for Ying Fusu to do anything. As long as he makes no mistakes, Qin will be his.
Not to mention that Ying Fusu has gained a reputation as a virtuous man in recent years. Everyone in the world said that the eldest son was virtuous, courageous and had an excellent reputation.
Just go on like this step by step, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years.
Sitting there on that supreme throne is Ying Fusu.
This truth is not difficult for everyone in the Qin State to understand, even the women and children in the countryside understand it.
Therefore, Ying Fusu openly contradicted the First Emperor Ying Zheng in the court yesterday, and even came up with an idea that was so bad that he could no longer search. None of the Qin officials understood it.
Even the First Emperor Ying Zheng didn't understand.
But Ying Zheng knew that his son was definitely not a fool, so yesterday in front of Ying Chengqian, he revealed that there was something fishy about the matter.
Meng Tian thought he understood clearly. He believed that Ying Fusu was harmed by the Confucian Chun Yuyue and was induced and instigated.
But Meng Tian didn't know that when Ying Fusu contradicted Ying Zheng in the court, the person who was the most angry and frightened was Ying Fusu's teacher-Chun Yuyue.
Chunyu Yue wished that he was the one who said those words. He would rather die than let those words come out of Ying Fusu's mouth.
He wanted the Qin State to be governed by Confucianism, wanted Confucianism to be popular, and wanted Confucianism to replace Legalism and return to the world as a prominent school.
But he never instigated Ying Fusu to arbitrarily contradict the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
Ying Fusu worshiped Chun Yuyue as his teacher, studied Confucianism, practiced Confucian concepts, and highly respected Confucianism.
Then after Ying Fusu succeeded to the throne, Confucianism would definitely become the orthodox doctrine of the Qin State, and the world would change from rule of law to rule of Confucianism. This is certain.
However, Ying Fusu succeeded in contradicting Ying Zheng, and Confucianism became the mainstream school of thought in advance.
The probability of this is extremely low, because the method Ying Fusu chose was too tough and the excuses he chose were terrible.
Ying Fusu has a high probability of failure, and the price of failure is that if he makes such a big mistake, Ying Fusu will lose his favor.
The eldest son is not the prince, and Ying Zheng has never explicitly stated that Ying Fusu will succeed him as king.
Once Ying Fusu is no longer the second son of Qin and other princes of Qin inherit the throne, Qin will still be governed by law rather than Confucianism. The orthodox status sought by Confucianism will be far away from now on.
Except for the eldest son Ying Fusu, none of the princes in Qin were close to Confucianism.
Therefore, what Ying Fusu did was extremely risky and insufficiently beneficial to Confucianists.
Chunyu Yue, who once lectured at Jixia Academy, could not do such a stupid thing.
No fool can step into Xianyang Palace, the center of Qin's power.
Ying Chengyu returned home from Xianyang Palace yesterday, but he still hadn't figured out what Ying Fusu wanted.
Neither he nor Ying Zheng believed that Ying Fusu was a fool. They didn't know how ridiculous his advice was, and they didn't know what consequences it would have.
The eldest nephew obviously knows everything, so why does he do this?
He seemed to be deliberately irritating the emperor's brother.
What can he gain by irritating the emperor's brother?
On the way home, Ying Chengxuan kept thinking about this problem. He did not want Ying Fusu to be assigned to the county by Ying Zheng.
The Qin State has not yet established a crown prince. Once the eldest son Ying Fusu leaves, all the princes will inevitably compete for the crown prince's position.
Although this was Ying Zheng's intention, Ying Zheng was happy to see the success and wanted to see if any of his other sons could stand out without the suppression of his eldest son Ying Fusu.
But Ying Chengyu didn't want to see this scene. He was a time traveler and he knew the answer.
In his previous life, Ying Fusu was sent to the county and committed suicide.
Qin, the second generation died.
In this life, no matter what aspects of performance, Ying Fusu is the best candidate for Qin II.
Ying Chengyu wanted to avoid a recurrence of historical tragedy, so he wanted to leave his eldest nephew in Xianyang.
In order to keep Ying Fusu, we must help Ying Zheng find out the reason for Ying Fusu's abnormality and who instigated it. This is what the brothers agreed yesterday.
Otherwise, Ying Fusu will have no choice but to be sent to the county to show his majesty on the battlefield! How can an emperor be bullied by his ministers?
When he returned home, he asked Ying Fusu directly, but of course he got nothing.
When Meng Tian intervened, Ying Fusu reprimanded Meng Tian. When he left Meng Tian behind, he actually didn't have much hope.
He didn't think he would learn the truth from Meng Tian because Ying Fusu's behavior was too deliberate.
Meng Tian and Ying Zheng are similar in age and have a close friendship. They are Ying Fusu's elders. How could Ying Fusu, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, rebuke his elders like this?
It seems that Ying Fusu did this intentionally and deliberately let Ying Chengyu keep Meng Tian behind.
"Before leaving, I still have to turn my uncle's attention to Confucianism. Do you think it's worth it now?"
Ying Chengyu said softly.
"After the court meeting, go and chat with the emperor. You are father and son first, then monarch and minister."
Just when Ying Chengyu was educating Ying Fusu, the changes in the court did not stop for a moment.
The hidden leader of Confucianism, the mentor of the eldest son Ying Fusu, servant She Chunyuyue actually spoke for Ying Chengyu, the Lord of Chang'an.
His words were so sharp that he did not hesitate to criticize the First Emperor Ying Zheng, which caught the entire court off guard.
Yesterday, the eldest son contradicted His Majesty, and today Chun Yuyue contradicted His Majesty. What are Confucians doing? Are you tired of living?
Tingwei Li Si led up and stood up, with a cold and stern look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Chun Yuyue is a man with no eyes on the throne. Please drive him out!"
"The Qin Dynasty governs the country by law. Is there any legal provision for punishing people for their words? Since I have not committed any crime, why did the imperial court expel me?"
Li Si turned around and faced Chunyu Yue directly.
"I heard that Qi Jinggong once asked Confucius about politics, and Confucius replied: 'Junjun, ministers, fathers, sons, sons.' I dare to ask Chunyu Pushe, what is the interpretation of this statement? Is Chunyu Pushe's actions consistent with
What did Confucius say?"
Chunyu Yue just used Legalist ideas to refute Li Si, and Li Si in turn used Confucianism to question Chunyu Yue.
But Chun Yuyue's knowledge was not fake, and he said calmly: "Confucius said that the king does the king's work, the ministers do the minister's work, the father does the father's work, and the son does the son's work. Everyone performs his or her own duties.
Everyone is responsible for his own duties. Yue is a minister, and it is Yue's duty to correct the mistakes of the king he serves, and it is in line with what Confucius said."
"Chunyu Pushe explained it very well before, but I don't agree with what he said later."
Li Si said solemnly: "Rewarding or punishing a minister is something that a king needs to consider. As a minister, you want to deal with Lord Chang'an according to your own ideas. Is this what a minister should do when he thinks about the king's affairs?
Something?"
"The king made a mistake, and the minister pointed out that this is what the minister should do. How can Li Tingwei say that this is not what the minister should do?"
"When the king makes a mistake, his ministers should point it out, but how can Chunyu Pushe prove that it was your Majesty who was wrong in this matter and not Chunyu Pushe?"
Chunyu Yue looked unhappy and said, "Yue has already said before that your Majesty should not punish Lord Chang'an. Does Li Tingwei want Yue to repeat it?"
Li Si's cold face remained unchanged and he replied: "If there is a leaf covering your eyes, then I will take you to Mount Tai, and you will not know that you are in front of Mount Tai."
Chunyu Yue sighed secretly in his heart.
Li Si made a pun, so why couldn't he catch it?
Since this statement is saying that he is short-sighted, he cannot see that Ying Zheng has any deeper meaning in punishing Ying Chengyu.
He was also admonishing him to give up and broaden his horizons, and not to offend Ying Zheng because of his friendship with Ying Chengyu.
Chunyu Yue and Li Sitong came from Jixia Academy and studied together.
Although one is a Confucian and the other is a Legalist, they were friends from the same school.
Li Si asked Chun Yuyue to leave the court because he wanted the matter to be settled.
He stood up to argue with Chunyu Yue in order to control the development of the situation.
If he doesn't stand up, then the one who opposes Chunyu Yue will be the First Emperor who rules the world.
Li Si, thank you for your kindness.
But this time, I have to do it, even if it goes against my heart.
"A gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to benefit. I talk to Lord Tingwei about righteousness, and Lord Tingwei talks to me about interests. If we have different ways, we should not seek each other. I think we have nothing more to say."
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it is knowing. Knowing means knowing, not knowing means not knowing. This is the performance of a wise man. Chunyu Pushe clearly doesn't know, but he pretends to know everything. This is indeed the same as
You have nothing more to say."
Li Si turned around, crossed his hands in front of him, bowed his head and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Li Si, please drive these arrogant people away from Xianyang Palace!"
Give up, Chunyu Yue, and stop talking.
Whether to punish Lord Chang'an or not, this matter itself is not of great significance.
The Lord of Chang'an could neither expand the territory nor give advice, and he even caused the disgrace of his settlement.
How can such a person's handling of affairs compare with His Majesty's prestige?
Even if Your Majesty is wrong and you Chunyu Yue are right, so what?
You offended His Majesty because of a fool, His Majesty will be grateful to you, okay?
Your Majesty can accept the offense, and the consequences of the offense will be beneficial to Qin in the early stage.
If you keep Lord Chang'an's salary for one year, what benefit will it bring to Qin?
From the moment you stand up, you have already lost.
The longer you stay in Xianyang Palace and the more you talk, the more you will lose, so exit...
"Your Majesty, when Guan Zhong was here, if Duke Huan of Qi made a mistake, Guan Zhong would correct it with his words. Although Duke Huan of Qi was unhappy, the state of Qi became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. After Guan Zhong's death, three ministers, Kai Fang, Shu Diao and Yi Ya, flattered him.
Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Huan of Qi was overjoyed, but in the end the overlord of his generation was starved to death by three people in the palace, causing maggots to grow on his body."
"Although I am not as good as Guan Zhong, I did the same thing as Guan Zhong. If your Majesty drives me out today without any reason and refuses to listen to advice, will the ministers who are truly as talented as Guan Zhong dare to give advice in the future?
If things go on like this, the people in the court are talking about villains like Li Si. Your Majesty is happy now, but you will pay the price for it in the future, and Qin will also pay the price for it!"
It’s over!
This is a big deal!
Li Si's heart sank.
Chunyu Yue's voice, which seemed to be heartbreaking and came from the bottom of his heart, echoed back and forth in the Xianyang Palace.
Meng Tian was secretly happy.
Chunyu Yue has committed suicide so far, Your Majesty will never allow the eldest son to be taught by Confucianism again.
Li Xin was confused.
What happened? I had a quarrel with Ying Chengyu. Your Majesty and Da Qin will have to pay the price?
Prime Minister Wang Wan and Prime Minister Zuo Wei, who were sitting in the front row, looked at each other and saw the doubt and solemnity in each other's eyes.
What exactly is Confucianism trying to do?
You only get a year's salary from Lord Chang'an, why do you contradict His Majesty like this?
This is asking for death! Do they want Qin to ban Confucianism completely?
The doubts of the two prime ministers were also the doubts of almost all the courtiers in the palace.
What Chunyu Yue did today was exactly the same as what Ying Fusu did yesterday. Both were actions that the officials could not understand.
Ying Zheng lowered his head and smoothed the wrinkles on his crown robe.
A flowing cloud passed over the Xianyang Palace, blocking the sunlight shining on the Xianyang Palace. The Xianyang Palace was shrouded in shadow.
"Chun Yu Yue."
Ying Zheng did not raise his head, his voice was careless, and it seemed difficult to smooth out the wrinkles on his crown.
"Speaking of me like this, what do you think you want? What do Confucians want?"
Lifting his eyelids slightly, Ying Zheng said with some doubts: "You don't want your life? Confucianism doesn't want your life either? Are you still bullying me for being weak and not knowing how to kill?"
The new book issue is updated twice a day, with a word count of about 5,000 to 6,000. There may be large chapters, depending on the plot. Xiaomengxin is working hard to save manuscripts recently! I hope to make a small burst of recommendations on the back!
