heard.

Ying Zheng's expression was slightly different.

shook his head and said:
"Shihuang doesn't like other people's evaluation."

"If you really want to evaluate it, it's probably no different from ordinary people."

"The first emperor also had the seven emotions and six desires, and he also knew the joys and sorrows of the world, but he was a king and an emperor, so he did what a king and an emperor should do."

"and this"

"It's also the biggest difference between him and ordinary people!"

"Why do you ask this question?"

"What do you think of Qin Shihuang?"

Qin Luoheng bowed to the ground.

Respectfully said:
"Boy offended."

"The period when the first emperor was king may be summed up in four sentences."

"King Qin sweeps Liuhe, and the tiger looks at He Xiongzai! Swipe his sword to destroy the clouds, and all the lords come to the west."

Ying Zheng looked slightly different and nodded.

Curiously said:
"These four sentences are quite pertinent."

"What about the emperor?"

Qin Luoheng bowed again.

Shen said:
"Qin Shihuang was the first person to truly unify China. Not only did he achieve political unification, but he also implemented a series of unified systems such as the same book, the same track, the same system, and the same behavior. These are enough to shine in the annals of history and be famous forever."

"It also revolutionized the world's political system."

"From the perspective of a bystander, what Qin Shihuang did and what he achieved surpassed the current era to some extent."

"Eternal Emperor and One Emperor may be the best title."

"Since the founding of the country, large-scale construction projects have begun across the country, not to mention the imperial mausoleum. Countless palaces, galloping roads, straight roads, and official roads have been built in various places. Defense and dredging of canals."

"There's nothing wrong with these projects."

"But if it's all put in a few years, doesn't it seem that the use of the people is too much?"

"The world is at peace at the beginning, and it is right to recuperate. Is it inappropriate to waste people's energy so unrestrainedly? The kid used to live in Lishan. At first, there were only 10,000+ prisoners in Lishan, but now it has reached hundreds of thousands."

"This is too shocking."

"The boy thinks it's not right. Qin Shihuang is the ruler of the world, and he deserves to enjoy super high standards. At the same time, there are constant major events in various places. Looking at the world, the number of recruits is too amazing."

"The kid feels that there may be hidden worries."

Qin Luoheng stopped.

What he said just now was smooth, and he almost talked about the repair of the Great Wall and the repair of the A Fang.

Fortunately, I held back in the end.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what the court did.

It's just too much.

Now the imperial court has expropriated the head of Guizhou a bit too much. When the Great Wall and Afang are repaired in the future, and the imperial mausoleum will be expanded, the corvee will be too heavy.

He wanted to remonstrate in advance.

Ying Zheng gave Qin Luoheng a cold look.

Indifferently said:
"You think that Qin Shihuang wastes people's money and wastes money and is extravagant, and you also think that Great Qin has too much corvee and uses people too much."

"But do you know why?"

"I don't know, kid." Qin Luoheng bowed his head.

Ying Zheng got up and looked at the bright moonlight in the sky.

In a cold voice:
"Because you don't know the law!"

"Shang Yang once said: 'A man of skill is in his hands; a man of business is in his body, so the whole world is one house, and he has his body. The capital of the people is more important than the body, but the power is on the outside. With capital, he returns to his family. , what was difficult for Yao and Shun, so Tang and Wu banned it, and the merits were established and the name was achieved.'”

"The people are weak and the country is strong, and the people are strong and the country is weak, so a country with the right way should focus on the weak people."

"Only by making the people of the world poor and weak can they respect power and respect the court."

"Although you have been in the classroom for a few days, you know very little about the Fa."

"When the Great Qin established the country, he founded the Palace of Doctoral Studies. Most of them are Confucian students. The first emperor always respected Confucianism, but he almost never used Confucianism?"

"Is it really because of the incompetence of Confucianism?"

"No!"

"Because Confucianism and Legalism are contrary."

"You don't know much about Legalism, and you don't even know anything about Legalists. Do you think Confucianism and Legalism are compatible enough to dictate?"

"Confucianism and Legalism are to a large extent opposite to each other."

"Do you know why?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back.

Indifferently said:
"Because law comes from Confucianism."

"Li Kui, Wu Qi, and Shang Yang of Legalism all came from Confucianism."

"They have all entered the Xihe School founded by the Confucian figure Zixia. Obviously, the theory of governing the country taught by Confucianism did not satisfy them, so they began to find other methods to refute the empty words of Confucianism. the Legalists."

"The dispute over Confucianism has lasted for hundreds of years."

"Although Legalism was born out of Confucianism, the political views of the two are completely different."

"Confucianism is based on the inherent goodness of human nature, while Legalism is based on the inherent evil of human nature."

"Confucianism tries to regulate the world through benevolence and propriety, while Legalism advocates the use of harsh punishments and power tactics to rigidly control the people, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the world."

"Confucianism says 'canglin (lin) knows the propriety and righteousness'."

"Legalists believe that knowing etiquette and righteousness is useless, even terrible."

"Shang Yang said in "Reward and Punishment": 'Bowen, discernment of wisdom, ritual and music, and practice should not be rich and noble', that is to say, we should eliminate those who are knowledgeable, intelligent, and cultivated in ritual and music, because these people Not easy to manage.'”

"Confucianism says: 'Where there is constant wealth, there is perseverance'."

"The Legalists say: 'The people are weak and the country is strong'."

"Confucianism says that we should select talents and use moral people to govern the world."

"The Legalists said: 'Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban', 'the meritorious ones pay more attention to salary, and the capable ones are high-ranking officials', 'the country uses traitors to govern the good people, and those who govern the people must rule and become the strongest.'"

"With the above comparison, you may think that Confucianism is better."

"Fusu thinks so too."

"However, if Legalism has been the mainstream of the world for hundreds of years, how can it not have a unique advantage?"

"Legalism rewards meritorious deeds and punishes laziness, and rewards and punishments are clear. Legalism can give the people of Great Qin an equal room for advancement. Everything in Legalism is based on credit. That's why Great Qin can make the whole country work in unison, with strict discipline and strict orders and prohibitions."

"Great Qin became stronger because of reforms."

"The legal system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Confucianism does have advantages, but for Daqin, Legalism is obviously more suitable."

"Daqin chose the law."

"We can only firmly enforce the rule of law!"

Qin Luoheng raised his head.

Surprised:
"Confucianism and Legalism are indeed contradictory, but the two also complement each other. Why can't the Great Qin learn from each other's strengths and practice Confucianism and internal law? That is, to adopt the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism, and to punish evil by adopting the law."

Ying Zheng sneered.

Indifferently said:
"External Confucianism and Internal Law?"

"The Great Qin was built on the basis of the legal system. If it wants to implement 'foreign Confucianism', it will inevitably or nominally overthrow the 'law'. Crash?"

"This is an act of subjugation!"

"Take the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism, and punish the evil by taking the law."

"The first emperor thought about it before, and that's why the doctor's study palace exists, but it turns out that the first emperor's actions were wrong."

"It's very difficult to have both."

"The dispute between Confucianism and Legalism has lasted for hundreds of years, and it will not be resolved overnight."

"You don't understand that very well."

"If Confucian officials are used, Confucianism and Legalism must fight against each other above the court, and the court will not be in chaos under the same party and against differences. This is of no benefit to Great Qin."

"The two have long been incompatible."

"Perhaps you think that the first emperor can balance, but it can't be balanced for a while. The two are destined to be strong and weak. The strong will continue to eat the weak until they become the only one again."

"In that case."

"Why bother yourself?"

"in addition."

"You're taking things for granted."

"Human nature is inherently evil. You want to achieve 'accepting Confucianism for benevolence and righteousness, and adopting law for punishment of evil', but reality often backfires. What you may eventually achieve is 'accepting Confucianism for loyalty and hypocrisy, and adopting law for cruel and weak people'."

"Such a poor and weak country, isn't it going to be slaughtered?"

"You do have some ideas, but have you ever thought about it? In the world of great struggle for hundreds of years, the countries are not states without benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the philosophers are not people without benevolence, justice and morality. It's just why it is Qin who wins in the end. Law."

"Why?"

"Because the whole country of Daqin is in unison, orders are prohibited."

"The characteristic of the Legalists is that what they say is what they say. That's why Shang Yang's emigration and trustworthiness are rewarded with military honors and titles. Severe punishments and strict laws are punishments. The people see war, like hungry wolves see meat. In Daqin, one can rise to the top and gain glory and wealth."

"Da Qin chose the law."

"It is natural to accept everything in the Fa."

"And Shi Huang...can balance all of this."

Qin Luoheng's complexion was blue and red.

He knew he was making a fool of himself.

The Qin Dynasty established the country by law, and it was impossible to implement 'outside Confucianism and internal law'. This is equivalent to denying its own past. For Great Qin, this is suicidal.

Reuse Confucianism.

The Legalist ministers of the Manchu Dynasty disagreed.

Moreover, Confucianism and Legalism are inherently opposed, and when the time comes, there will be endless party disputes in the court, and there will be a mess of smoke. This will not be beneficial to Daqin, but will harm Daqin.

His thinking was too naive.

But can Shi Huang really balance all of this?

He doesn't believe it.

Because Qin Shihuang did not do it in history.

In the last years of Qin Shihuang's life, he continued to go crazy in making great achievements and using the people too much.

Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty would not die in the second generation.

Looking at Qin Luoheng who was frowning in thought, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

Shen said:
"Do you know why I tell you so much?"

"Because of what you asked, Fusu also asked many years ago."

"After so many years, Fusu has never changed. He still believes in the unrealistic words of 'taking the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism, and punishing the evil by following the law'."

"I don't want you to become the second Fusu!"

"Think about it."

"Don't let me down again!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng, shook his head sadly, turned and left.

Qin Luoheng bowed and saw them off.

When Yingzheng walked away, Qin Luoheng smiled wryly and said, "The chief official really thinks highly of me, comparing me with the eldest son, Fusu is the son, but I'm just a historian."

"What can I do?"

"but."

"The chief official is right."

"Great Qin is not suitable for promoting Confucianism."

"But I am studying Taoism!"

"The Learning of Huang Lao."

A smile appeared in Qin Luoheng's eyes.

Self-satisfied:
"Confucianism has no chance."

"However, Taoism's rule by doing nothing is very promising."

"Using Huang Lao's theory to adjust the legalist's severe punishment is a correct choice. Relatively speaking, Taoism is more neutral and moderate."

"The way is natural!"
