Chapter 487 Confucian Stupidity

Fusu's natural origin meant that he was destined to never become the Second Emperor of Qin.

But he is such a person.

However, the Confucians secretly brainwashed him and made him a die-hard member of Confucianism. They tried to use Fusu to ascend to the throne of emperor in the future and let Confucianism officially ascend to the court.

In this way, he can control the world's public opinion.

But making the eldest son the heir apparent is something only Confucianism advocates.

If it affects the national level, it will happen after the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of the Qin State or the Qin Dynasty, there is no such thing as establishing the eldest son as the heir. The only thing is to establish the virtuous as the heir.

This is to ensure that wise kings will emerge from generation to generation.

Even if he is the worst, he is still a mediocre person, and it is absolutely impossible for him to appear as a fool.

This system of succession to the throne is the core foundation of why the Qin State became stronger and stronger, and was eventually able to sweep across the entire Central Plains.

The reason why King Zhuangxiang of Qin was able to ascend to the position of the crown prince of Qin, and even his subsequent throne as King of Qin, was because of his status as a hostage of the State of Zhao that was not taken seriously.

It was Lu Buwei who helped him hype up and package his reputation as a virtuous person.

Then, relying on his reputation as a virtuous man and using the Qin State's own system of succession to the throne, he defeated many older brothers and younger brothers.

A sudden rise and success.

If the Qin State really had a system of establishing the eldest son as the heir apparent, then it would be impossible for King Qin Zhuangxiang to ascend the throne.

There are more than a dozen brothers ahead of him.

But King Zhuangxiang of Qin not only ascended the throne normally, but also sat firmly on the throne, which just proves that the Qin State did not have a pedantic and backward system of establishing the eldest son as the heir apparent.

"I don't even understand Fusu's mother's background, and I don't even understand Qin's throne succession system, so I just made random bets."

"Secretly brainwashing Fusu into becoming a die-hard Confucianist."

"This kind of Confucian operation makes people feel that they have collectively suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, are blind, and are hopelessly stupid."

Si Yuan was a little confused. How could there be such a stupid theory in the world?

Looking at the historical development of the Central Plains in the next thousands of years and the changes of dynasties, whether Confucianism can govern the country has been verified many times by time.

Obviously, Confucianism simply doesn’t work.

The popular nickname for Confucian nerds means that they are too stupid.

"There were thousands of vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but none of them were willing to accept Confucianism. This shows that others are not fools."

"Even the Tian Qi royal family, which has been destroyed, only reluctantly cooperated with Confucianism in order to steal the royal power of the Jiang Qi royal family."

"I have never recognized Confucianism at all."

Confucianism is a stupid and arrogant operation, thinking that Qin State also pays attention to the eldest son inheritance system like Confucianism, and then makes a plan for Fusu, who is least likely to succeed.

This made Si Yuan feel that they didn't even have a brain.

And they are all blind.

Even if Changping Lord Xiong Qi had not rebelled against the cholera epidemic and made Qin Shihuang extremely hateful, Fusu would never have become the second emperor of Qin.

Because his biological mother is the princess of Chu State.

He couldn't change this at all.

With the royal lineage of the Chu Kingdom, if he really ascends the throne, there are a large number of Chu relatives in the Qin Dynasty, and he can definitely call himself the emperor of the Chu Dynasty.

Stealing the power of the Qin Emperor openly and honestly.

This was something Qin Shihuang could not tolerate under any circumstances.

What's more, Fusu is still a fool who has been brainwashed by Confucianism.

No matter how blind and brainless Qin Shihuang was, he would never have chosen such a person to become the crown prince. Fusu's motherhood made him insulated from Qin II.

How could you leave it behind if you knew it was a hidden danger?

"Everyone will feel uncomfortable and abnormal when they are sick."

"And as the future Qin Shihuang, he will definitely have doctors with superb medical skills by his side."

"Doctor's examination, personal feelings."

"Qin Shihuang must have known exactly what his situation was, and he was by no means ignorant. At most, he didn't know exactly when he would die."

Si Yuan secretly recalled and thought carefully.

It was precisely under the premise of such physical abnormality that Qin Shihuang found an excuse and decisively ordered Fusu to be driven out of Xianyang City, the power center of the Qin Dynasty.

He was sent to the most remote and bitter frontier.

"On the surface, it seems that this is to allow Meng Tian to protect Fusu and help him."

"However, in fact, given Qin Shihuang's grasp of power, as long as he is alive, he will not allow any ministers to side with any prince."

"Meng Tian is not a fool. How could he risk the lives of his entire family by taking refuge in Fusu, who is least likely to succeed him?"

That order.

On the surface, it was to protect Fusu from being assassinated, but in fact it was to banish him to the frontier forever and not allow him to return to Xianyang.

To prevent him from stealing the power of the Qin Dynasty king by relying on his maternal relatives from Chu.

Prevent the Chu State from being reborn with the help of the Qin Dynasty's body.

After all, Chu and Qin have been married for hundreds of years, and the power of Chu's relatives is quite large and deeply rooted within the Qin Dynasty.

After the Chu State was overthrown, it was highly likely that it would be reborn through the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang had to guard against this.

Therefore, Fusu is a hidden danger of civil strife.

Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die.

It refers to the disintegration and destruction of these huge Chu clan relatives’ leftover forces within the Qin Dynasty.

Hundreds of years of marriage accumulation, it is definitely not that simple and easy to remove it.

Fusu, the eldest son of the First Emperor, who was of royal lineage from the Chu Kingdom, was the best introduction.

Banishing Fusu to the bitter cold frontier forever and not being allowed to return to Xianyang was because Qin Shihuang was kind and merciful because he was still his son.

Otherwise, such a huge hidden danger of civil strife will inevitably lead to death.

The next generation successor that Qin Shihuang really chose was the eighteenth son Hu Hai who was always with him.

"The joint edict of Zhao Gao and Li Si only killed Fusu."

"They don't dare to modify the true heir's edict. With Qin Shihuang's vision and strategy, being able to have the eighteenth son Hu Hai always following him around has already demonstrated his choice in disguise."

"Almost everyone in the world knows about this matter, and there is no way to deceive it."

Si Yuan naturally knew.

Judging from Qin Shihuang's painful experience, he would hardly have much affection for his son and daughter.

It is impossible to keep Hu Hai with you all the time just because you like him.

As the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the first emperor of the entire Central Plains, his every move, word and deed conveyed signals of political power to the outside world.

Only a political idiot would think that Qin Shihuang loved Hu Hai and took him with him.

Under this premise, the eighteenth young master Hu Hai was taken with him, even when he went on patrol.

It can be seen that it has the meaning of teaching by words and deeds.

Qin Shihuang deliberately cultivated this talented son and taught him how to be an emperor.
