Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 346 I Can't Take This Risk! (seeking subscription)

Go to the palace.

Qin Luoheng had already noticed that the palace was quite angry and serious.

After many searches, he entered the palace safely. He walked towards the palace where Ying Zheng was resting. Just as he approached, he heard someone crying. Qin Luoheng frowned, but he didn't dare to ask. Instead, he waited outside the door.

Soon.

Hu Hai came out from the hall.

At this time, Hu Hai's complexion was very gloomy, his eyes were red, and he couldn't hide his loneliness and grievance.

Qin Luoheng shook his head slightly.

At this time.

He only asked the eunuch to notify him to come, and soon, Qin Luoheng was summoned, and Ying Zheng got up from the bed, but his body was still a little weak, so he wore a lot of thick clothes.

Qin Luoheng said:

"Chen Qin Luoheng sees His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years."

Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng, and said coldly: "When did you learn these compliments? Thousands of years? I almost can't even make it through this year. Don't say such things in the future."

Qin Luoheng nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still has the strength to criticize. It seems that the body has almost recovered. After a few days of recuperation, there should be no serious problems."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal.

cold voice:
"Hu Hai came just now."

"He came to intercede with Zhao Gao."

Qin Luoheng knew it in his heart.

In fact, he had vaguely guessed it before, but he really didn't expect that Hu Hai had such a close relationship with Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao had just been released from prison, and he hadn't even confessed his crimes, so Hu Hai hurriedly began to intercede for him.

This is really ridiculous.

Qin Luoheng said:

"Mr. Hu Hai's heart is not bad, but he doesn't know people well. With his simple personality, he is easy to trust others. I think Mr. Hu Hai is just impatient."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly:
"I know more about Hu Hai's personality than you do."

"This kid is indeed bright-minded, but he lacks his own opinions and the ability to judge right from wrong. He does things entirely by liking. In the past, relying on my liking, he seemed to have no scruples. Now he still can't distinguish the status quo. Obviously, he hasn't made much progress. "

Qin Luoheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

I dare not answer.

He actually quite agrees with this statement. Hu Hai really does not have the ability to judge right from wrong, otherwise Zhao Gao would not have been allowed to do anything wrong in history. However, it is not suitable to say such words, and it is impossible to express his approval.

after all.

Hu Hai is the son of the First Emperor.

Who knows whether Shihuang was angry or complaining?
If you pander to a few words and shoot them on the horse's hoof, wouldn't it look stupid?
Ying Zheng didn't say much about this matter. He never told Qin Luoheng from the beginning to the end. When he was seriously ill, what Hu Hai and Zhao Gao did, he didn't want to talk about Zhao Gao's imprisonment at all. After a silence, another question was asked.

Ying Zheng Road:
"I just heard a piece of news."

"You went to Tingwei Mansion to pick up a person, and you also met another person, and this person happened to be an anti-Qin scholar."

There was a sudden murderous air all around.

Qin Luoheng looked as usual, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I did see Cheng Miao and Wang Cizhong. Regarding the reception of Cheng Miao, this is what I promised when I was imprisoned. When Cheng Miao is released from prison, I will go to greet him personally." , this time only to keep our promise.”

"As for Wang Cizhong, I actually don't know about it."

"At that time, he did participate in the grand meeting of scholars, but there were many scholars present at that time, and I didn't have much impression of him. The reason why we can meet again this time is mainly because he made friends for Cheng Miaozhi, and he made a special trip to greet him. Cheng Miao was released from prison."

"It's actually a coincidence."

Qin Luoheng didn't hide it, and told the whole story without hiding anything.

He knew very well that since the matter had reached the ears of the first emperor, there was no need to hide it. As long as the first emperor went to investigate, he would be able to find relevant information, and he picked up Cheng Miao in public, so he couldn't fake it. !
Qin Luoheng continued: "After communicating with Wang Cizhong for a while, I did notice his complaints and dissatisfaction with Daqin. However, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There are countless people who despise the court, let alone those who come from noble families?"

"but."

"The reason why I am willing to talk to Wang Cizhong is mainly because I appreciate his talent, and I want him to work for Daqin."

"Working for Daqin?" Ying Zheng frowned.

Qin Luoheng cupped his hands and said:

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"This is indeed the minister's idea."

"The reason why I went to pick up Cheng Miao this time was not only to fulfill the promise that day, but also to have another intention. Cheng Miao knew the official script very well, and even reached the stage of insanity. When he was in prison, he worked tirelessly day and night Practicing calligraphy, I can't help but be amazed."

"I want Cheng Miao, who is familiar with official script, to compile a "Book of Zi."

"A purely standardized official script dictionary."

"Clerical script?" Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Qin Luoheng carefully, and said expressionlessly, "The official script stipulated by Daqin is Xiaozhuan."

Qin Luoheng said:

"How could the minister not know about this?"

"But the official script is widely used among the people."

"Compared with Xiaozhuan, the official script is more convenient and simple, and it is also more convenient. Writing is also very advantageous, but the folk official script is not systematic, so it looks a bit messy. If it goes out of the place, the same font may become two characters, but This is exactly what I want to change."

"I want to standardize official script."

"Let the local official script no longer be limited to one place."

"It has become a standard text that is well-known to ordinary people!"

Ying Zheng's eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "The world is determined to be one, and the characters are determined to be Xiaozhuan. Nowadays, there are not many people who use Xiaozhuan among the people. You still want to standardize the official script. Do you want the official script to become the official script of Daqin?" ?”

Ying Zheng's voice was not loud, but extremely oppressive.

heard.

Qin Luoheng's face turned pale.

He lowered his head, with a flash of persistence in his eyes, and said firmly: "I believe that Xiaozhuan should continue to be used as official documents, calligraphy documents, and contract documents. The effect is for confirmation, and the official script is supplemented. The sons and daughters of the people wrote to each other."

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Qin Luoheng continued:
"Xiaozhuan is currently an official script, and it cannot be written by someone with profound skill. In my opinion, it is not suitable. The script should be standardized and easy to write, not relying on years of writing to see its skill. .”

"What the world looks at is writing, not writing attainments!"

"The Creation of Lishu."

"It's actually more important."

Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "How could I not know the difference between Xiaozhuan and Lishu? But do you know why the court chose Xiaozhuan as the official script?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

Ying Zheng Road:
"Because it's easy to manage!"

"The knowledge of the world is only in the hands of a few people. Xiaozhuan is inherently difficult. To a certain extent, as the imperial court continues to suppress private schools and gradually monopolizes knowledge, all people in the world can only learn Xiaozhuan in the end. But those who can master Xiaozhuan are destined to be few."

"So as to reduce the cost of ruling the world."

"Han Feizi once said: 'Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban'. The reason why the world is in turmoil today is that there are too many scholars with their own ideas, so culture must be controlled, from more and more A lot of people can’t read or understand the characters.”

"So as to achieve the only one is to obey!!!"

"Furthermore."

"How many of the ministers in the court do you think know the official script?"

"If the official script is really used as the official script, don't they have to learn the official script again? Do you think they have the time and energy to learn it?"

"Your thinking is too naive."

"National affairs never care about good or bad, but whether they are easy to govern. Some policies can't care about the pros and cons, because from the beginning to the end, it is not the pros and cons that matter, but the 'politics' that matters!"

"You know so little about this!"

Qin Luoheng's expression darkened.

Only then did he fully understand that some of Daqin's policies seemed unreasonable, and could even be said to be perverse, but these policies were not the pros and cons that mattered, because they were political accounts!

Daqin practiced the five arts of controlling the people!

That is, one people, weak people, tired people, humiliated people, and poor people.

Fifth, if it doesn't work, kill it.

Seeing a flash of shake and struggle in Qin Luoheng's eyes, Ying Zheng stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "You may find it hard to accept, but this is indeed the original purpose. You once said that the era of schools of thought is over, but You don't know why Baijia prospers, why it prospers, and why Baijia falls down."

"Scholars all over the world praise the contention of a hundred schools of thought."

"But many people have overlooked one thing. The contention of a hundred schools of thought originated from hundreds of years of wars. It is such a tragic world. The reason why the continuous battles lasted for hundreds of years is that the official schools lost their positions and private schools lost their positions. Prosperity led to the emergence of a large number of scholars, who did not understand the current situation and offered advice everywhere, disturbing the world for a long time without peace."

"And today's unification, if we promote low-cost writing and continue to promote private learning, the number of scholars will increase greatly, and the world will surely fall into turmoil again, and it will even be more tragic than the world of great struggle."

"People are restless about the status quo."

"Those who have acquired a certain amount of knowledge."

"Especially!!!"

"In the age of great controversy, all the rites and music established by the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years were completely destroyed. Now that the Daqin system has just been established, it has been criticized by the world. If the people are not restricted, I am afraid that the Daqin system has not yet been fully established. It is going to be directly declared collapsed."

"You have good intentions."

"But the consideration is too one-sided after all."

"Governing the world has never been easy. The Qin Dynasty's system is a brand-new system, and there is nothing to learn from it. Therefore, it seems that the Qin Dynasty is making drastic innovations, but it is actually struggling. If you are not careful, it will fall apart."

"Why don't I want the sun and the moon to have a new look?"

"But there are some things that you can only think about, not do, or even think about, because Daqin can't afford this risk, and I can't afford it either. I took over Daqin from the hands of the previous emperors of Daqin. I have to deal with it. The ancestors of the past dynasties are responsible, and they must also be responsible for the people of the world."

"I can't take this risk!!!"

Qin Luoheng was silent.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

The Great World War was prolonged due to the rise of scholars. At that time, there were not many scholars. If we continued to spread the wisdom of the people, no one could tell what the consequences would be. Moreover, the evil results of contention among a hundred schools of thought were right in front of us. How dare Daqin Let people continue to broaden their wisdom?

Scholars and nobles have been the source of turmoil since ancient times!
The reason why Daqin did this was not only related to its own interests, but also for better governance. This is actually beyond reproach, even beyond reproach.

It's just this fact, which is really uncomfortable for Qin Luoheng.

But he chooses to believe in the modern education he has received, firmly believes in the belief that 'technology is the primary productive force', and always insists on the rationality of broadening the wisdom of the people.

Although he can't predict what will happen next.

But he chose to persevere.

Because if Daqin did not make fundamental changes, it would be doomed to follow the old path of the imperial dynasty, and even because of this series of innovations, it would end in an extremely tragic end.

If the innovation is not thorough, it is like an itching in the middle of nowhere.

It's just to stop the boiling water!

long silence.

Qin Luoheng bowed and said: "I still suggest that Cheng Miao be transferred to the Character Survey Office and let him be in charge of compiling the "Zi Shu" of official script. I have a different view on what your majesty said. People can be extended, but in the final analysis it is the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty's own system."

"I believe in Daqin's system!"

"The system established by His Majesty is far superior to any system in ancient and modern times. I don't think that what His Majesty said is wrong, but I believe that the system of Great Qin can solve these problems. Great Qin is a country where centralization of power and superior government are separated."

"Baijia is indeed out of date."

"But the Hundred Schools of Thought has its merits."

"I suggest that Your Majesty gather famous scholars from all over the world to compile the "Huaxia Canon". This book covers thousands of years of Chinese history, gathers the essence of hundreds of schools, and forms the words of the Daqin family. All the enlightenment of the world will come from this book."

"Thus achieving unified education!"

"I know that this matter should not be rushed, but the compilation of "Book of Characters" cannot be delayed. Wang Cizhong is a great talent, but he is perverted. He has many criticisms of the Qin government, but I think these are irrelevant. I still suggest that Wang Cizhong be recruited to participate in the compilation "Book of Words."

"Please allow Your Majesty."

Speaking of the end.

Qin Luoheng's voice trembled slightly, but his tone was very firm.

He knew what he was doing, he was contradicting the first emperor, and he was openly opposing the national policy. If the first emperor got angry, he might be left out in the cold again, but he chose to persevere.

He believed that his decision was the right one.

Daqin has already done so much, might as well do more.

At least.

He tried it!
Yingzheng looked at Qin Luoheng with dark eyes. He could feel Qin Luoheng's uneasiness, but Qin Luoheng's insistence made him very unhappy. He said so earnestly before, just to tell Qin Luoheng that there is something It's not as simple as it seems.

But obviously.

Qin Luoheng didn't listen.

In other words, he actually listened to it, but didn't think he was wrong.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back.

He didn't rush to answer Qin Luoheng.

Instead, he looked up at the towering eaves, and then said lightly: "I am very clear about your idea. You want to broaden the wisdom of the people. I have considered this idea before, but do you know why I finally chose 'foolish people'?" '?"

"I don't know." Qin Luoheng said.

Ying Zheng turned around.

In a cold voice:
"Because I have more scruples than you!"

"Because I understand the world of great struggle better than you!"

"Because I really convened a hundred officials to discuss and open up the wisdom of the people!"

"But in the end."

"I gave up this road!"
