Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 388 Iron Blood Pit Killing Earthquake Restoration! (four thousand words)

Outside Xue County.

Within ten days, the news had already spread.

When the execution day comes, all the people who can be present in the surrounding counties, townships, kiosks, and villages rush to the execution ground. It's a joy to talk about it.

The execution ground was set at the bottom of a flat valley not far from the county seat.

The people watching the execution spread from the two hillsides all the way to the bottom of the valley, but in the innermost area, there were guards of Qin soldiers in armor and holding spears, and the people were strictly prohibited from stepping into the execution ground.

The execution time has not come yet.

The surrounding crowd also looked at the execution ground.

It is not that they have never seen government executions before, but the execution ground at this time is different from what they have seen before. There are no execution racks and stakes, and there are no executioners in red shirts. The soldiers were digging pits, and the rows of pits were connected. The wet new soil exuded a turbid smell, which made people feel hairy.

Someone in the crowd whispered:

"This Shang Shuling is still a decent person. After killing people, he still wants to bury them on the spot. It's just that there are so many pits dug. I don't know how many people will be executed this time. Will this place become a mass grave in the future?"

Someone said:
"There are a lot of executions this time."

"A distant relative of mine said that there were at least a thousand people this time."

"This official was assassinated in Lu County last time. He almost died. He narrowly escaped death. How could this high official not retaliate? I'm afraid these people will all die miserably."

There is also humanity:

"I heard that Confucian scholars were executed?"

"Didn't these Confucian scholars say that they were invited by the emperor?"

"Why do you still commit such a big thing?"

People around shook their heads and said:
"do not know."

"Anyway, these people are dead."

"."

There was a constant sound of strings all around.

In the crowd, some nobles who had good friendship with Confucianism were all pale at this time, clenching their teeth and not speaking.

As for those Qianshou farmers in burlap clothes, they all looked like they were watching the excitement. They had no feelings for Confucian scholars, and basically had no contact with them on weekdays. I am happy to see Confucian scholars planted.

Talking around, the voice gradually became smaller.

noon.

A large group of disheveled and withered Confucian scholars were escorted into the valley.

On the earthen platform in the center of the execution ground, two rows of horns sounded together, and Yang Wuchang, who was in charge of the punishment at the corner of the platform, shouted: "Qin Shangshu, the chief punishment officer, has arrived—!"

With everyone watching eagerly, Qin Luoheng walked up to the stage.

Follow closely.

Subsequently.

Gu recited a sentencing book.

Solid way:

"Emperor Qin's edict——"

"There are 460 seven Confucian scholars in Chakongmen. They ignore the benefits of the new policies of the Great Qin Dynasty, do not think about the kindness of the country, criticize the new policies, spread rumors, run private schools, slander the emperor, link up with the old nobles of the six countries, and attempt to restore the old system of the three generations. , Repeated violation of the law, the crime will not be punished! In order to prevent the evil trend of using literature to disrupt the law, to prevent the success of the restoration conspiracy, and to prevent private learning from causing harm, all Confucian offenders who violate the law will be sentenced to death."

"The autumn of the 32nd year of the Great Qin Emperor!"

Done.

Gu even gave a loud shout.

However, Qin Luoheng did not directly order the murder.

Instead, he walked down from the high platform, went to the kneeling Confucian scholar, and finally stood in front of a dark, thin, unkempt man with a shaggy face. The Confucian scholar in front of him was half-blind, kneeling straight on the ground, like a wooden sculpture, Qin Luoheng looked at it for a moment, as if he recognized who was in front of him.

He walked up to this person and said lightly:
"Remember who I am?"

Shu Suntong raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I will never forget, Qin Luoheng!"

Qin Luoheng waved his hand, and immediately a soldier brought a bowl of cold water, but Shusun Tong didn't say a word, just opened his mouth and waited for the soldier to feed the water into his mouth.

The soldiers looked around at Qin Luoheng, and Qin Luoheng nodded.

After drinking a bowl of water, Shu Suntong seemed to be more energetic, and said filially: "Okay, I am willing to die."

Qin Luoheng said: "Shusun Tong, you and I have both worked in the Doctoral Academy, and we can be regarded as colleagues. Since we know that we should die, let me ask you a few words. If you want to tell the truth, you can tell the truth. Don’t even say anything, how about it?”

Shu Suntong took a deep look at Qin Luoheng.

Shen said:
"There is only a bowl of kindness."

Qin Luoheng asked, "Where are Kong Yu and Kong Xiang?"

Hearing that Qin Luoheng heard about these two people, Shusuntong immediately turned sullen, and cursed: "These two old thieves lied to me and told me to stay in Lu County to die, but they would have escaped early by themselves. Seeing these two people again, I will definitely skin these two thieves alive, eat their flesh, sleep their skin, drink their blood, and cram their tendons, so that they will be completely crushed."

"Why do you hate these two brothers so much?" Qin Luoheng asked.

Shu Suntong snorted coldly:

"My Confucianism is in the current miserable state, and it is all thanks to them."

"The other Confucian scholars and I didn't even know about the private school. It was the two brothers Kong Yu who contacted the nobles of the six countries in private to start it. They told us about it when they couldn't hide it behind. Said that as long as it drags on, Confucianism can replace Legalism."

"Kong Yu is too greedy."

"You don't know where they are?" Qin Luoheng frowned.

Shu Suntong sneered and said:

"Will they flee for their lives and tell us?"

"If they let us leave in advance, how can we be caught by you?"

Qin Luoheng nodded slightly, and didn't continue to ask more questions on this topic. He had already heard that Shusun Tong and others were scolded before and were still counting money for the Confucian people. He asked, "Your eyes How did you get hurt?"

Shu Suntong said sadly:

"Don't choose the way in panic, An Neng is not injured? It's worth not to say these things!"

Qin Luoheng said: "Da Qin has lived up to you, why are you determined to break with Qin Ting? You are even willing to die for it!"

Uncle and grandson channel:

"Haha."

"Great Qin does not fail Confucianism? What a joke."

"My Confucianism has been in Qin these years, has it really been valued by the Qin court?"

"Haven't you experienced it in the Doctoral Palace?"

"After the prohibition of discussing politics in the doctoral palace, Confucian scholars like us have lost the foundation of our existence. Qin and Confucianism are underestimated, and legal and Confucianism are not tolerated. Even if our Confucianism does not oppose Qin, one day, sooner or later, it will be eaten away by you, the Great Qin and the Legalists. Jin, Daqin, has never been the same as my Confucianism!"

"and"

"Daqin is doomed to perish!!!"

Hearing Shusuntong's nonsense, Yang Wuqiang pulled out his long sword.

Qin Luoheng stopped Yang Wu.

He looked at Shusuntong and said calmly: "Confucianism is not in line with the Qin government. This is well known in the world. Now that the Great Qin is powerful, Confucianism has a sense of crisis. It is understandable, but you said that the Great Qin is about to perish? I don't understand. Willing to listen to its teachings."

Uncle Suntong stared blankly at the Cangcang Valley.

Cold and slow said:

"Qin Zheng's demise is due to Ying Zheng ignoring the law of heaven!"

"As the emperor, Yingzheng wastes everything, wastes people's power, and builds palaces indiscriminately. Although the old man is blind, he still vaguely remembers how many buildings and palaces were destroyed in the middle of the Qin Dynasty. I don't know how many families were destroyed in order to build these buildings and palaces. , and I don’t know how many people died, and the crimes involved are too numerous to describe.”

"The Qin government is based on brutality."

"People have widows and widowed men, and palaces have resentful women and sorrowful souls. Killing is useless, bones are like mountains, and red clothes are blocking the road. Now it is blocking the mouth of the world. It is determined to burn three generations of classics, dig the tombs of sages, and build the Great Wall. Cutting off my Chinese dragon veins, building roads and destroying our people's fertile land, such a country without principles, ruler without principles, and government without principles, even if they perish ten times, it will not be enough to calm the grievances of the world."

"The great Qin is not dead, how can it be natural?!"

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

Shen said:
"What you said may be true."

"But what is it?"

"Who cares?"

"You say that Qin is a country of no way. If Qin really has no way, how can he rule the world? Let the war in the world stop? Let the people rest?"

"If your majesty is really a king of no way, how can you be an emperor? He is admired by all people?"

"If the Qin government is really a lawless government, how can it eliminate border troubles? How can it allow the Chinese race to survive forever? What is the real thing about building roads, digging river defenses, expanding territories, one word, and one weight and measure that Great Qin has promoted over the years? wrong?"

"If it weren't for Great Qin, the world would have been in chaos for many years, and how many people would have died in battle."

"You can ask the people around you, do they want to continue to live in the chaos of war, or live in today's peaceful world? Maybe there is still a lot of darkness under the rule of the Great Qin, but no matter how dark it is, it is far worse than the darkness of the chaotic world. Among them, human life is like nothing, and it is a luxury to live, but under the rule of Daqin, they can at least survive."

"in addition."

"No matter what the court does, it is not the reason why your Confucianism broke the law."

"If the world is in chaos, the people at the bottom will suffer in the end."

Qin Luoheng's voice was not loud, but it seemed deafening to the ears of the surrounding people.

Qin Luoheng continued:

"I was talking to you to see if you had realized your mistake, but it turned out that I was wrong. You didn't realize your mistake, and you even got into a wrong path."

"I can tell you clearly."

"Da Qin will not perish."

"At least it won't die for decades."

"Furthermore, relying on hundreds of Confucian scholars, dozens of doctors, tens of thousands of aristocrats, and even tens of thousands of dissidents, wanting to overthrow the Great Qin Dynasty is completely nonsense and unrealistic."

"You don't understand why the imperial court will kill you."

"I'll tell you."

"By the way, tell the people of the world."

"What is the face of Confucianism now?"

"I want to make your Confucianism completely give up, and let the people around you who still have a little thought about Confucianism see the true face of your Confucianism. Confucianism is just a hypocritical school."

"The Great Qin ruled the six kingdoms under one empire, and practiced the system of prefectures and counties instead of feudal vassals."

"This is not for the royal family's own selfishness, it is actually the prosperity of China as a whole comes from the world."

"What is the reason?"

"Many people are afraid that they know it well."

"The world has been fighting for hundreds of years, the world has been fighting for hundreds of years, and countless people have been killed or injured. This dark age was ended by the Great Qin. The Great Qin never wanted to let the world become like this again, so even if you are Confucian in every way The imperial court is still unmoved by persuasion, and has never considered enfeoffment."

"Daqin doesn't want to let the world continue to fight endlessly, and let the people of the world die like a mountain."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was aimed at reforming the world. Therefore, His Majesty once named Kong Yu, the first scholar of Confucianism, as Wen Tongjun, making him the first of the hundred schools of thought in the world. He hoped that he would flourish the New Deal and civilization, and many Confucian scholars and Confucian scholars also Being awarded a Ph.D., the imperial court placed high hopes on Confucianism, hoped that its resources and political principles would lead to the prosperity of China.”

"But how does your Confucianism do it?"

"Don't think about the changes of the times, don't think about the people's living and working in peace and contentment, but only think about the old theory of restoration. With Confucian disciples abandoning their officials and fleeing, and even coercing their families to flee their hometowns, it has intensified since then."

"Flat defiance of the law."

"Private schools are widely established in the local area, with the intention of resisting the imperial court."

"The intention is to confuse people's hearts, so as to achieve their own ulterior motives."

"Confucianism, the way of relationship between monarchs and ministers has all fallen. What kind of face do these corrupt people have to stand in the world again?"

"During the court, the Confucian scholars did not think about repenting, and gathered together to criticize the state affairs, saying that the past is not the present, and they were finally hated by the court. When something happened in Xianyang, they fled the country together, which almost caused a catastrophe in the world, and even attracted the attention of the world. The people are terrified."

"So Confucianism, lawlessness, no heaven, no king, no country, only the private thoughts of one family are the highest, why talk about etiquette, justice, integrity and shame to the people? What face is there to face the people of the world?"

"That's why."

"The evil deeds of Confucianism have long been beyond description."

"That's why the imperial court decided not to execute Confucian criminals with constant punishment, but to kill Confucian scholars."

"I know that many of you are dissatisfied, and many people around you should have sympathy for Confucianism, thinking that the court's punishment for Confucianism is too severe, but I am telling you that the current Confucianism is no longer Confucius. The Confucianism of the time is now, and the Confucianism of the present is self-proclaimed, does not travel to the world, does not read a hundred schools of thought, does not understand the hearts of the people, is narrow and pedantic, and discusses the state and politics, and has no heroic spirit of the past."

"Such Confucianism is not worthy of respect."

"Indeed."

"The private study of Confucianism has indeed benefited many people."

"But have you really studied Confucianism? Confucianism did have a period of time when there was no distinction between teaching and learning, but that was the period when Confucius and the sages lived. As for later, Confucianism is no longer like this, and it is even more so today. Although Confucianism Private schools are widely set up in the local area, but they are not facing the lower class people, but the so-called scholar class.”

"So the reputation of Confucian scholarship is only in the scholar class."

"As for ordinary people, it's just a fantasy."

"Moreover, most of the Confucian scholars nowadays, as you have seen, basically do not work hard, don't distinguish the five grains, and don't like to work. And this kind of people have always been hated by the Qin people, and they are regarded as ruffians and lazy people, but you may not know that this He is the scholar who is now respected by Confucianism."

"This is so ridiculous!!!"

"If the world is governed by these people, would you be willing?"

Qin Luoheng's voice fell.

He calmly looked around, and wherever he looked, the people around him lowered their heads, as if they were thinking about the question Qin Luoheng raised.

Will they?
　There will be another update later, I hope it can be coded out before twelve o'clock.
