Chapter 475 Rebuilding the Qin Law

"In the past, Confucius praised the Zhou rites because the rites and music at that time had collapsed and the countries were fighting against each other." A look of regret appeared on Ying Zihe's face, "Essentially speaking, Confucius admired the Zhou rites because I just hope that we can restore peace to the countries and maintain a relatively stable situation."

Yan Lu nodded in agreement and said calmly: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true. In the past, Confucius praised Zhou Rites for this reason."

Ying Zihe looked at the three people in front of him and said: "But a new era has begun, a brand new era, and the so-called Zhou rites are no longer suitable. What the world needs today is a brand new system. Rather than rigid etiquette.”

"Those rotten scholars who ridiculed the Mohists are stuck in old ways, but aren't they themselves the same? In this new era, some people actually advocate enfeoffment. It's a big joke!"

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince disapprove of the enfeoffment?" Zhang Liang asked with a slight change in his eyes.

Ying Zihe smiled and said: "Since King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the world has been in chaos for five hundred years, which itself has proven the ridiculousness of the feudal system!"

"With the example of Great Qin, if the enfeoffment system is restarted, even if all those canonized are of the same bloodline as the Zhao family of our Great Qin, it will only be one or two generations, and it will be three generations at most. If the blood relationship is estranged and we learn from the past, the world will definitely Rekindle the war."

Zhang Liang thought about it silently, and combined with the fighting among the princes with the same surname canonized by the Emperor of Zhou, he had to agree with Ying Zihe's inference.

"His Highness just mentioned that Legalist culture is no longer suitable for this new era, and also talked about the absurdity of the enfeoffment system, but I don't know, what role does Your Highness think Confucianism should play in this new era?" Fu Nian's pupils said. Crunch, asked.

After the actual meeting, the three heads of the Confucian School had already realized how powerful this Crown Prince of Qin was, but they didn't know what he wanted to do.

Ying Zihe smiled and said: "It's nothing. I want to report to my father, Emperor Ming, to revise a Qin code to adapt to this new era."

"To revise the law, Your Highness should go to Prime Minister Li Si?" Hearing what Ying Zihe said, Yan Lu was slightly disappointed and said in a calm tone.

Yingzi Hedao: "Simply revising the law will inevitably lead to harsh punishments for the Legalist family. What I envision is to invite famous scholars from various schools of thought, such as the three leaders, Taoist Master Mu Xuzi, Gongshu Qiu and others from the Gongshu family revised it together. Among hundreds of schools of thought, all walks of life are inevitably a little confused. Only by revising it separately and then integrating it with outstanding scholars representing different schools can we adapt to this new era."

"After the Qin Code is revised, outstanding talents will be appreciated by my father. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Ying Zihe placed his sharp eyes on Fu Nian, waiting for the Confucian leader's answer.

In the depths of Fu Nian's narrow eyes, there was a hint of ecstasy. If he could participate in the revision of this new Qin code, it would open the door to the upper class of the empire. Maybe he would be appreciated by His Majesty the First Emperor, and Confucianism would take advantage of the opportunity. Going to court is also a matter of course.

In an instant, Fu Nian, who was already extremely shaken, could hardly contain himself anymore.

Zhang Liang secretly took a breath, what a generous act!

and many more!

"Your Highness, what did you mean by the Taoist Taoist Mu Xuzi just now?" Zhang Liang's expression changed, and he thought about what Ying Zihe said, and said in deep thought, "As far as I know, this Taoist Mu Xuzi is a human being. One of the sect elders and the head of Renzong is Taoist Xiaoyaozi, shouldn’t the person you invite be Taoist Xiaoyaozi?”

Ying Zihe glanced at Zhang Liang meaningfully and noticed the emotion deep in his eyes, which made Zhang Liang feel cold all over.

"Xiaoyaozi's rebellious cooperation with the Mohist family has long been a rebellion of the empire. What he wants is not to change this era, but to return this era to the past. How can the empire tolerate him? What do you think, Mr. Zifang?" The words rang in the room and fell into Zhang Liang's ears, causing this peerless wise man to tremble subconsciously.

"That's what His Highness the Crown Prince said." He said with a calm face, "Just such a law that can only be revised by inviting scholars from hundreds of schools to gather together will inevitably restrain hundreds of schools of thought. Let me ask, what will happen to the hundreds of schools of thought who are used to being free? How can people accept this?"

"It's indeed hard to accept." Ying Zihe nodded with a look of approval, "So, it's not the day to start revising it yet."

"Then when does Your Highness think the time will come?" Fu Nian glanced at Ying Zihe thoughtfully, and asked with a higher evaluation of the Crown Prince in his heart.

"It's time to wait until almost all the cats and dogs in Songhai City have been killed!" The light words came out and reached the ears of everyone present.

Shi Lan's slender waist trembled slightly. Fu Nian, Yan Lu, and Zhang Liang were horrified. They saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Your Highness, Mu Xuzi is here." At this moment, a clear report came from outside.

"Oh? Then invite them in." Ying Zihe resumed his usual laziness, playing with a bronze wine bottle in his hand, and chuckled.

creak!

Not long after, the door of the elegant room was pushed open, and two figures walked in with a strong murderous aura and the lingering smell of blood.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Wei Zhuang, who was walking in front, nodded to Ying Zihe, put the shark-tooth sword in his arms, and stood behind Ying Zihe.

How can this be? Zhang Liang looked at Ying Zi and Wei Zhuang who were standing behind him in disbelief, almost wondering if he had recognized the wrong person.

With the personality of this former friend, how could he be willing to become the imperial eagle dog and the lackey of Prince Qin?
  When old friends met, Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhang Liang thoughtfully, then withdrew his gaze and remained motionless, as if he was the most reliable guard.

"Mu Xuzi pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Mu Xuzi, who was walking behind, knelt on his knees, took out a mahogany box from his arms, handed it over, and said with great respect.

Ying Zihe stretched out a hand, took the supreme secret treasure of Taoism from Mu Xuzi's hand, and laughed and said: "Taoist Master Mu Xuzi, he really understands justice and is a loyal man of the empire. So, I still lack a reliable person around me. The commander of the bodyguard, I wonder what Taoist Priest Mu Xuzi wants?"

Guard commander?

Hearing Ying Zihe's words, Mu Xuzi was overjoyed and followed Ying Zi and the Great Qin Prince. Even if he was just a personal guard commander, he was not comparable to others.

If Prince Qin ever ascends the throne, he may be able to rise to the occasion and become a dignitary around the new generation of emperors.

Ying Zihe paused and then dropped another bomb, "After the incident in Dongjun is over, I will go to see my father. At that time, there will be something related to the great cause of the empire. If Taoist Mu Xuzi doesn't If you don't like it, I will recommend the Taoist priest to join the others. Is the Taoist priest willing to accept it?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." Mu Xuzi kowtowed heavily and said in a choked tone.
