When the officials in Kuaiji County vaguely guessed Fusu's identity, they were all shocked. As we all know, Zhao Kuo had three sons and one daughter. Zhao Kang's son was only four or five years old, and Zhao Kang himself was very young.
There is absolutely no way this young man is his son. As for the other son Cheng Yu, he is not married yet and is alone. This is famous in the Qin State. Many people complain about Speaker An Jun...
And his daughter Shan has just gotten married. Of course, she may have such an old son. The only explanation is... he is the son of the eldest son Zheng... and he is also the eldest son. Well, the eldest son of the emperor and the current crown prince. Then
For a moment, the officials were dizzy, especially those who were fighting with Fusu. At this moment, their faces were pale, their whole bodies were shaking, and they almost collapsed on the ground. They almost pointed at Fusu and said tremblingly: "You... you are the one."
The current prince?"
Of course, Fusu was not in the mood to smile evilly, and then said, "If you have eyes but no eyes, it doesn't matter if you are in trouble." He was so reprimanded by Zhao Kuo, and felt particularly uncomfortable. Zhao Kuo doted on him very much, and every time his father
When reprimanding him, Zhao Kuo always protected him. This was the first time he saw Zhao Kuo so angry and even hit him with a cane. Fusu was very sad and just lowered his head with a dazed expression.
Zhao Kuo saw that he had exposed himself, so he did not hide it. He continued: "As a prince, you should pay more attention to the integration of the seven countries and prevent divisions, but you have personally provoked conflicts and triggered regional disputes.
..You go and admit your mistakes to those Chu officials! Then, report to me the officials you know have violated the law!" Fusu listened to Zhao Kuo's words and bowed again, and then looked at the Chu natives.
of officials.
Fusu wanted to deal with illegal officials, and Zhao Kuo had no objection at all. He was even willing to help find these worms. Zhao Kuo was also an upright man, and he would never allow the filth under his eyes to continue to exist.
Yes, as long as he discovers it, he must rectify it. Many people call this world gray, so they think there is no need to make such a clear distinction between justice and evil.
However, we must know that tolerating and giving in to evil is trampling on justice.
It is not the victors who write history. Everything is the choice of the people. The power of the people is the greatest and the most just. People have bad sides, but generally speaking, we can still see more hidden things.
The brilliance in the depths is the essential difference between humans and animals. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. Our history and great men have all proven this.
Therefore, what Zhao Kuo couldn't stand was not Fusu's tough attitude, but Fusu's methods. In order to get rid of those officials, Fusu colluded with the Qin officials to deal with these people, which then aroused the Chu people's attack.
Resistance and confrontation arise like this. This is a blatant instigation of conflicts among officials, which can further be understood as splitting Qin and Chu! Qin State spent hundreds of years conquering Chu State, and you have just wanted to kick Chu State out in the past few years.
go out?!
Fusu bowed to those Chu officials and apologized personally, but his actions made those Chu officials even more tormented. Prince, Prince!? If they had known his identity, these people would not have dared to do so.
They would definitely put their best foot forward when dealing with him. But now, facing the prince's bow, they could only avoid it in a hurry, saying: "I don't dare to accept the prince's gift!"
They all heard that the emperor had a bad temper and was cruel. If he knew that his son was bullied like this... The officials were a little desperate at that moment. After Fusu saluted and apologized to them seriously, Zhao
Kuo stood up and said seriously: "Whether they are from Chu or other areas, they are all Qin people... In my eyes, there is only the difference between good people and evil people, and there is no division of household registration..."
"Second and Third Sons, please let go of your prejudices... Peace is hard-won... Alas..." Zhao Kuo sighed, and then said: "People from all over the country worked together to create a prosperous age, leave their names in history, and win
Isn't it a good thing for future generations to pay homage? If you deliberately cause a war and cause the loss of life, it will leave you with a lifetime of infamy."
Zhao Kuo then sat down and began to talk about his theory of one king and the world and the theory of unity of all countries. In order to cultivate the national concepts of various places, Zhao Kuo was also exhausted. He had such an idea before, so he also collected a large number of historical records.
Documents, if you want to get the definition of the Huaxia tribe in advance, this is the best time. Zhao Kuo said seriously: "A long time ago, our ancestors Huangdi and Yandi fought for the leader of the tribal alliance in the Central Plains.
In the battle, the Yandi tribe was defeated and merged into the Huangdi tribe, and the Yanhuang Alliance began to take shape."
"Later, they defeated Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, in the Battle of Zhuolu. Later, they formed a larger Chinese tribal alliance with the Yandi tribe and the Huangdi tribe as the main body. The origin of the Chinese tribe was basically fixed...", "He Shui and
Along the river, there is Chinese civilization and the birthplace of our initial birth..." At this time, there are more historical documents about the past than later, because the era is still close.
In addition, Zhao Kuo read a lot of books and knew a lot of legends and allusions, so he combined these large amounts of information to create a book on the origin of China. He even included the Cishan culture and Longshan culture hidden in the soil.
Culture, Yangshao culture, and Erlitou culture were all mentioned directly... Think about the shock of later generations when they dug according to his description and actually dug up these long-buried cultures. They probably didn't know how.
You will understand how Zhao Kuo knew this without any modern archaeological tools.
What Zhao Kuo said is clear and logical. Starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it connects the whole of China. Whether it is the ancestors recognized by the Chu people or other countries, tracing back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even some magical legends can also be magical.
This is because although what Zhao Kuo said is a legend, from some aspects, what he said is true. These people scattered in various places originally have a common ancestor.
These people are the Huaxia people, who are the predecessors of the later Han people. Of course, in later generations, the Huaxia people have become a broad term. Not only the Han people, but also all the ethnic groups living in this land belong to the Huaxia people. And the Huaxia people
The concept of the world has also changed from the concept of geography and blood to a unified cultural concept. Anyone who uses blood theory to talk about things and madly attacks other ethnic groups is neither stupid nor bad.
For example, a Han nationality who wants to sell poisoned pork to the mainland and a Uighur nationality who studies Chinese history every day, admires historical figures and expresses it in online articles, who belongs to the Chinese nation? The answer is that they belong to both, but the former one
Not quite a match.
The concept of Huaxia that Zhao Kuo is talking about now is a primitive and crude concept. If you want to achieve the final broad concept, you must first figure out the narrow concept. Zhao Kuo believes that this set of concepts will continue to develop.
Finally it became a broad concept again. Everyone sat around and listened to Zhao Kuo's story. Zhao Kuo had not read the books in vain over the years. When he told the origin and development history of the Huaxia clan, everyone listened.
Intoxicated.
Of course, there were officials taking notes, and Fusu stood aside seriously, with his head lowered, listening to Zhao Kuo's teachings.
Zhao Kuo was very serious about everything he did, either he would not say anything, and when he did say it, he would tell it in the most detail, otherwise he would not give up. Therefore, after Zhao Kuo finished talking about these histories and legends, he followed the cultural customs of various countries.
Characteristics, supplementing his own theories, and cultivating national concepts are what Zhao Kuo has always wanted to do. He has prepared a lot of things to prove that his statement is correct from many aspects.
From appearance, from language, from the common characteristics of writing, in short, Zhao Kuo said a lot. In the final analysis, the people of the seven countries all belong to the same clan. Officially, the Chinese clan proposed by Zhao Kuo, the war of the seven kingdoms
In essence, it was a quarrel between brothers and brothers fighting against each other. At this point, Zhao Kuo listed Bai Qi out and criticized him. He admired Bai Qi's commanding ability, but he really didn't approve of his actions at all.
Even if what he did promoted unification, Zhao Kuo did not dare to agree. Such behavior was too cruel. If Zhao Kuo could go back to the beginning again, he would still help Zhao Kuo against Bai Qi without hesitation. And Fan Ju, who proposed the massacre policy
, was not immune, and was also criticized by Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo treated historical figures objectively and would not completely deny or fully approve them because of his own preferences.
This is the most basic accomplishment for learning and studying history. Bai Qi has a ferocious side, but you can't deny his military success. Fan Ju has a sinister side, but you can't deny his contribution to the Qin State, even if you use later generations as examples:
Emperor Wen had a benevolent side, but he would also attack his own relatives. Emperor Wu had a cruel side, but he also protected China. Cao Cao massacred the city, but he did unite the north. Sun Quan had a hundred thousand infamy, but he was young
Shi was indeed a hero, Li Shimin's ascension to the throne was disgraceful, but he did lay the foundation for a prosperous future. Qianlong boasted about himself, but he was not without merit.
By the time Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the sky was already getting dark.
The officials were fascinated by what they heard. When Zhao Kuo got up on crutches, everyone thanked him one after another. No matter whether they recognized this theory in their hearts or not, on the surface, they still had to show themselves to be very teachable.
, Zhao Kuo didn't say much. He then asked Fusu to tell about the illegal behavior in Kuaiji. Fusu testified against several officials in succession. These officials were trembling all over and did not dare to raise their heads.
Zhao Kuo looked at them and asked calmly: "Is he telling the truth?"
Under Zhao Kuo's gaze, the psychological defenses of these people seemed to collapse. Do they want to say that the prince was slandering them? Under such great pressure, they could only bow their heads and admit guilt, admitting that they were the ones who violated the law and discipline. Zhao Kuo
Let Zhao Kang deal with them according to the law. According to the law, if they surrender themselves voluntarily, some punishments can be reduced. These people hurriedly thanked them again, and Zhao Kuo turned around and left here.
Fusu hurriedly followed him, and the two walked into the inner room together. Fusu lit a candle. Under the candlelight, Zhao Kuo's face swayed with a gentle light. Zhao Kuo looked at his eldest grandson in front of him and sighed.
After making a sound, he said: "I will not blame you for dealing with corrupt officials, nor will I advise you to tolerate these... You are different from your father, but you will be a very upright emperor...
.What I worried about before was not your integrity, but your kindness..."
"You don't know the dangers of people's hearts. You always use your own thoughts to speculate on others. I asked you to come here to let you see clearly what reality is like. I don't want you to be deceived, and your code of conduct is
, Han Fei also praised me, saying that if the king is upright and tough, the number of insects in the country will be reduced, the ministers will not be busy flattering, everything will be in order, and the world will be peaceful and prosperous."
"Fusu, your integrity will allow you to have a group of equally upright and diligent ministers, and your benevolence and kindness will impress the people... In this broken world that has just been mended, we can also
I leave it to you with peace of mind. However, there are many bad people in the world. You must not trust others easily. When it is time to take action, you must not hesitate... Everything is for the sake of the world and the people."
Fusu seemed to understand, but Zhao Kuo said seriously: "For the sake of the people of the world, sometimes you have to abandon your principles... Let me tell you something." Fusu lowered his head and expressed his willingness.
Listen, Zhao Kuo said: "I once implemented the rule of law in Zhao State, set an example, and was unwilling to touch the law. At that time, there was a powerful man in Zhao State, called Lord Chang'an. Lord Chang'an was a tyrannical man, just like a beast. He made many mistakes.
But because of the protection of King Zhao, even Sikou cannot deal with him."
"I wanted to get rid of him, but I didn't have any evidence of his crime. Until one day, he killed a friend of mine while riding a horse... No, he beat my friend to death.
The man who was beaten to death was a very kind and good person... He was just like you... He condoned the murder of his disciples. According to the law at that time, he could not be executed. At most, he was
Remove the prince from his position."
"At that time, I suddenly began to think about it. If I caught him and asked King Zhao to depose him from the title of king, would he change? He wouldn't. He would still commit murder like that. He dared to commit murder not because of his
The title is due to King Zhao's favor. Should he be punished according to the law, or should he be executed according to the tradition that I am most opposed to, the monarch's law enforcement power? I thought about it for a long time, and the law is my most important
Something to insist on, but at that time, I didn’t want more innocent people to die in the hands of that beast.”

"So, I killed him and used the power of lordship that I usually hate the most to kill him."
Zhao Kuo laughed bitterly and said: "As a person who proposed the rule of law, I took the lead in destroying the fairness of the law. I destroyed my own principles, but I don't regret it. If it happens again, I will still kill him. I
He would even kill him in advance, even if there is no evidence, to prevent those who should not die from his poisonous hands." After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he looked at Fusu and asked: "Do you understand?"
