Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 260 Facts speak louder than words! (first update)
Ji Que outside.

There was no sound.

They haven't sorted out the situation yet.

But Zhang Liang understood.

He knew why Qin Luoheng said these words.

Because Qin Luoheng insisted on 'one'!
What he insists on is the Great Qin system, what he insists on is the Great Qin military merit conferring system, and what Qin officials have always believed in is the imperial examination.

It's not that he doesn't agree with the distinction between high and low.

But from the beginning to the end, I didn't feel that the scholars present were "expensive"!
The nobles in Qin Luoheng's eyes are those who rely on military merits to set up pillars in front of the gate. The clans with numerous achievements are recorded on the pillars, and they are the clans sought after by the Qin people.

Such as Wang, Meng, Yang and other clans!

He didn't agree with the three-generation-prevailing view of being born a gentleman or a nobleman at all, so the others claimed to be noble, but in Qin Luoheng's eyes, all the scholars present, except for a few, were actually the same.

They are all just ordinary scholars!

and……

Zhang Liang turned his head and took a deep look at Qin Luoheng. He had a feeling that Qin Luoheng's words might have been said on purpose. He didn't say it to the scholars present, but to the onlookers outside. ordinary people.

He wanted the public to know this truth.

The era of born nobles and nobles has been trampled under the feet of the Great Qin, and will never exist again. Under the Great Qin system, there is only one kind of nobles respected by the world, and they are powerful families. Military family!
Zhang Liang's mood fluctuated.

He has it all figured out now.

They called this grand meeting "Great Governance Discussion", thinking that this grand meeting was to discuss the idea of ​​governing the country, but they didn't know that Qin Ting or Qin Luoheng, or Shihuang, they really wanted to build a new civilization .

A new civilization completely free from the influence of the three generations of kings.

Think of this.

Zhang Liang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

His chest was heaving violently, his nose was breathing even slightly, and he didn't know when to clenched his hands tightly, his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

He looked around.

Among the 96 scholars present, there are only a handful of people who are as enlightened as he is, and most of them have anger on their faces.

They just feel humiliated.

They thought that Qin Luoheng was deliberately lowering their backgrounds in order to achieve the effect of humiliating and threatening.

Qin Yi swept Liuhe.

Even if the others were dissatisfied, they couldn't justify themselves.

Because what Qin Luoheng said was the truth.

Just too invasive.

It was unacceptable for a while.

After a commotion, He Yu couldn't help standing up and saying:

"Doctor Qin, this statement is wrong."

"The reason why we became nobles is that the ancestors of the clan sacrificed their lives and blood in exchange for it. Why did you let it go like a shoe? Haven't my family ever made meritorious service for the country and the people? Is it only for you, Great Qin? Can it be called meritorious service?"

"Dr. Qin's words are absurd!"

"Damn!"

Qin Luoheng said lightly:

"This event is only about knowledge, regardless of family background."

"Your fathers and ancestors did have meritorious deeds. No one will object to this. This is also the reason why you are able to have a good life and read scriptures. But time has passed, and it is no longer the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. into the past."

"The sword of the previous dynasty can't kill the officials of this dynasty, let alone the achievements of the previous dynasty?"

"The imperial court has always respected those who have made contributions to China, but that is respect for your fathers and ancestors. Perhaps the imperial court will choose some of Yu Yin's descendants, but this is destined to be a minority."

"China has been around for thousands of years."

"In the long history, there have been too many talented people in China. If all of them are left behind, I am afraid that no dynasty can bear it."

"But today, the world is full of waste, and you are full of knowledge. If you join the court, it will only be a matter of time before you make achievements. Why worry about not being able to continue the glory of the family? Why continue to lie in the shadow of your ancestors and not know how to make progress?"

He Yu's complexion was livid.

Shi Qin?

He was a senior official in South Korea, but he could only start as a petty official in the Qin Dynasty. How could he be reconciled to this?How willing?A dignified Korean doctor, going to be a small official of the Qin State, won't he become the laughing stock of the world if the news spreads?
He Yan snorted coldly, and sat down with a flick of his sleeves.

Although he wanted to argue, this kind of matter cannot be disputed on this occasion. It is impossible for him to expose that he was a Korean doctor. Therefore, although he was extremely unwilling and resentful, he could only choose to swallow his anger.

The others knew this too, so they all fell silent.

At this time.

Someone from the periphery cleared the siege for them.

A Confucian scholar held a big iron horn and said loudly: "Dare to ask Dr. Qin, the world knows that politics is not dichotomous, why do you want to separate politics this time? Back then, whether it was Xihe School or Jixia School, when a hundred schools of thought contended, politics But they were never separated."

Qin Luoheng said expressionlessly:

"Because it's due."

"This grand event is really aimed at contending among a hundred schools of thought."

"However, there is still a big difference between the Xianyang Festival and the contention of a hundred schools of thought."

"A hundred schools of thought contended for the governance of the country to stop chaos. At that time, the world was in chaos, attacking each other, and the fighting was inextricable. Therefore, the focus of the hundred schools of thought was mainly on quelling the chaos in the world."

"The fight is mainly about political opinions!"

"But Qin is different."

"Qin has achieved six kings, and the four seas are one. Naturally, there is no need to discuss the governance of the country."

"I know you have different opinions on this."

"But after a hundred schools of thought contended, scholars from a hundred schools of thought became officials one after another, and in the two to three hundred years of conquest, Qin finally stood out, swept the six countries, and realized the unification of the world. Therefore, the best governance of the country is undoubtedly the legal system. "

"Qin regards the law as the key to unifying the world. This cannot be disputed."

"There's nothing to argue about."

"Because in the past hundreds of years, hundreds of schools have used their talents and abilities, but in the end they failed to stop Daqin's pace, allowing Daqin to sweep the world down with a horizontal push."

"You may be eloquent."

"But it is a fact that Qin is strong because of the law."

"Facts are always greater than eloquence. Even if you speak eloquently and eloquently, you can't change all schools of thought. Only Legalism has contributed to the unification of the world."

"It's the only one right now!"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no need to argue about the governance of the country. Any argument for arguing is nonsense, completely groundless and unrealistic."

"It's based on that."

"This time civilized governance is about national governance, not the way of governing."

"Daqin has been established for five years. During these five years of governance, Daqin has undoubtedly made many mistakes and gone through many detours. This is actually inevitable. Many of these mistakes are actually avoidable. But it's unavoidable."

"why?"

"The reason is actually quite simple."

"Great Qin is the first country to achieve great unification."

"There is no reference."

"You can only figure it out on your own."

"Great Qin has been governing the world according to the method of governing Qin over the years, but many aspects are obviously not in line with the current world."

"Before the world was unified, Qin only owned a few counties."

"Governance at that time was far less complex and changeable than it is today. If the government orders are delivered in the middle without accidents, they can be delivered easily in three to five days. Today, Daqin has 36 counties, and the vast territory is the most in ancient and modern times!"

"But that's why."

"Many governance strategies inevitably have deviations."

"It even aroused the anger and resentment of the local people."

"Great Qin has been determined to innovate in recent years, and has carried out reforms in many aspects. Only in terms of governance, it has always followed the method of governing Qin, but this is obviously becoming more and more divorced from reality, and it is becoming more and more unrealistic."

"That's why I have this civilization determination!"

"That's what you call the great rule of law!"

"Back then when a hundred schools of thought rose up and a hundred schools of thought contended, in that chaotic world, the philosophers traveled around the world and put forward various propositions, thus promoting the great cause of unification of the world. Now the chaotic world has just come to an end, and the world is waiting for prosperity. It's the beginning of the Great Reign."

"In the past, you scattered among the people and experienced the suffering of the people. You should have a lot of profound insights into the governance of the world. Therefore, this time the court gathered the world's sages in Xianyang to discuss the governance of the world together."

"Therefore, there will be only 'rule' in this event!"

"It's only about governance!"

Shu Suntong said loudly outside:
"I disagree."

"Politics is not dichotomous. If the proposed governance policy is contrary to the law, wouldn't it be impossible to implement it? What's the point of such a proposed governance policy?"

"You said it too."

"Legalism is the school of thought that helped Qin unify the world, but troubled times are different from governing the world. Qin's laws are strict and obviously inappropriate in governing the world. Da Qin should change it to the way of politics. Only in this way can we accommodate the changes in the world and be able to Achieve great governance."

Qin Luoheng raised his head.

shook his head and said:
"change?"

"There are four ways of governing the world."

"Fa, Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism."

"The Mohist way of governing is too impractical, so in the world of great controversy for hundreds of years, no country has adopted the Mohist idea as its governing philosophy."

"The Mo family naturally doesn't think about it."

"While Taoism advocates 'morality', Confucianism advocates 'benevolence and propriety'."

“Both philosophies have a certain point of view.”

"But people have seven emotions and six desires. Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, while Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil. However, human beings are actually good and evil. To govern the world by relying on morality and propriety is ultimately too false and unrealistic."

"If the world is not governed by the law, but by the benevolence, propriety of Confucianism, and the Tao and morality of Taoism, when have there been clear standards for benevolence, propriety, Tao, and virtue? Does that mean morality and benevolence? The power of interpretation is actually in the hands of Taoists and Confucian scholars."

"Most of the scholars in the world are local nobles and powerful. Then your so-called governance of the world will return to the princes and states. At that time, one township will be governed, and one mile will be governed. country?"

"Is this the blessing of the world?"

"No matter how many problems there are in Legalism, the laws are solid and clearly explained. Everything has traces to follow, and it will not be as idealistic as Taoism and Confucianism. Therefore, no matter whether Qin is destroyed or not in the future, the land of China The rule of law will be enforced.”

"The law guarantees the bottom line."

"And morality and benevolence are just higher standards for people. Right now, even you scholars can't fully abide by the most basic legal system. How can we let the people at the bottom reach the sky in one step and directly enter a society ruled by virtue and ritual?"

"Your ideas are too unrealistic!!!"

　Add an explanation.

　　China has always been ruled by law, and has never implemented the so-called rule of virtue and ritual. Confucianism and Taoism have always been used as a supplement to the legal system.

　　There will be more tomorrow.
