Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 335
Unlike the courtiers who fantasized about becoming kings and domineering princes, Li Si, who knew Yingzheng's intentions well, felt a bit cold at the moment.

If Yingzheng really had the slightest intention of entrusting him, how could he wait for ten years?If the old system is really feasible, how can Ying Zheng go to great lengths to implement the new system?

Ying Zheng tapped on the throne, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of what Chunyu Yue said.

Chun Yuyue, who didn't know much about Ying Zheng, thought that Ying Zheng's heart was moved by his words, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is merciful, allowing the people who have suffered from wars to recuperate. For ten years now, they have all the fields to cultivate and clothes to wear." Wear. Foot can be described as, Wufu Minfeng!
Guanzi has a saying, if the granary is real, you know the etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know the honor and disgrace.Your Majesty must feed and warm all the people in the world, so that you can learn from the countryside and enjoy rituals and music..."

"allow!"

Ying Zheng's majestic voice resounded in the hall, and Chunyu Yue, who was still talking freely, was slightly taken aback.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chun Yuyue, who was stunned for a moment, was overjoyed, stood up, and bowed respectfully again.

In the main hall, Chunyu Yue's excited voice kept echoing in the ears of all the courtiers.

However, those courtiers who have been in court for more than ten years still looked at Ying Zheng in a daze, with some disbelief.

Even Zhao Gao, who was beside Ying Zheng, looked at Chun Yuyue in his feminine eyes, which was a little strange.

"Your Majesty agreed so easily?"

"Separation, is it possible that His Majesty has long thought of distribution?"

One question after another lingers in the minds of the officials, and at the same time, it is more about the desire for enfeoffment.

However, this longing had never really arisen before it was mercilessly extinguished by Ying Zheng's cold water.

"I agree with what Mr. Chunyu mentioned earlier. However, I am not optimistic about the method of enfeoffment proposed by Mr. Chunyu."

"This……"

Chun Yuyue, who had just been recognized, hadn't reacted from the joy, but was shocked by Ying Zheng's words.

The Zhou system of ritual and music was originally created to cater to the enfeoffment system, but now Yingzheng only revived the ritual and music, but not the enfeoffment, which made Chunyu Yue a little puzzled.

It's just that Ying Zheng just agreed with one of his points of view. If he contradicts Ying Zheng with strong words at this time, it will inevitably make people feel that they don't know how to reciprocate.

And this is obviously against the law of a gentleman that he has always followed.However, without enfeoffment, how can ritual and music be truly revived?
After hesitating again and again, Chun Yuyue cupped his hands and said under the earnest eyes of all the courtiers: "Your Majesty, the more you think, the restoration of rituals and music will lead to the restoration of feudal titles. How can..."

"Fuli music?"

However, this time Yingzheng did not wait for Chunyuyue to finish speaking again, and said in a doubtful tone: "When did I say that the system of ritual and music will be restored?"

"Your Majesty, how can you be dishonest?" Chunyu became anxious when he heard that Ying Zheng wanted to go back on his word.

"I only agreed to set up a rural school, but I never said that it would revive the rites and music of the Zhou Dynasty." Ying Zheng's cold voice shattered the last illusion of the courtiers.

Seeing Yingzheng's blatant nonsense, Chunyu Yue blushed unexpectedly, and said, "Confucius, the ancestor of my Confucianism, established rural studies for the purpose of revitalizing Zhou rituals. How can your majesty change it in vain?"

"Sir, he opened his mouth and kept his mouth closed. Do you think that a person surnamed Ji is more suitable to sit in my position?" Ying Zheng also completely put away his previous amiable face, and his murderous intent was revealed in his words.

"presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

Li Si and Feng Quji, who were the two prime ministers on the left and right, shouted at Chunyu Yue at the same time.A strong oppression from the superiors made Chun Yuyue, who had never really set foot in the court, retreat several steps incessantly.

In addition, many of the courtiers who were originally full of dark thoughts also fell into the ice cave, and their backs were even wet with sweat.

Apparently, what happened today has been considered by them to be a deliberate attempt by Ying Zheng to test their selfishness.

"The more dare not!"

Chunyu knelt down in a hurry, and a layer of fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead.Although he is pedantic, it doesn't mean he doesn't even understand the most basic imperial taboos.

Otherwise, he would not work hard to enter the court to see Ying Zheng, but would starve to death on the barren hills like Boyi and Shuqi at the end of the Shang Dynasty.

"Sir, open your mouth to return to the etiquette, but shut your mouth to learn from the ancients. If the ancient people's method is really as the master said, it is a perfect method, then why, today, it is I who have changed Zhuxia, not a person with the surname Ji?"

The beads of sweat on Chunyuyue's forehead grew bigger and bigger. Ordinary people would dare not answer such harsh words.However, after hesitating for a moment, Chun Yuyue suppressed the fear in his heart, and still said, "Zhou Zhihuai belongs to King You, not Zhouzhi."

Ying Zheng stood up slowly, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to smash Chun Yuyue, who had been contradicting him, to death on the spot.

"Since sir thinks Zhou is in decline, in King You, then tell me, why is Zhou still weakening 400 years after King You?"

"This is the result of the unhappiness of etiquette and music!" As if he had put life and death aside, Chun Yuyue's voice became louder.

"Why are rituals and music not happy?"

"The princes love profit, and the hearts of the people are not ancient!"

"Since people's hearts are not ancient, why do you want to use the ancient system to rule the people of today?"

This time, Chun Yuyue did not answer as fluently as before. Instead, he thought for a while before saying: "Therefore, it is even more necessary to restrain yourself and restore etiquette. Fagu people, restore people's hearts!"

Facing Chun Yuyue's sophistry, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile.

"The ancient rites can be restored, and the hearts of the people may be restored. But, can you guarantee that, after hundreds of years, the hearts of the people will still be the same as they are now? If the princes rise together at that time, will the country of our Great Qin fall to others? hand?"

"With Zhou Li here, how could such a thing happen!"

"Then what about Zhou Guo in the mouth of the gentleman!"

Chunyu Yue was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't help but stop when the words he wanted to say came to his lips.

Time can corrode everything, even if Chunyu is more pedantic, but in the face of the facts, no matter how perfect the words are, they seem so pale and powerless.

"What I want is not 400 years of peace, but 400 years of ups and downs! What I want is a Great Qin that can prosper forever! Zhou Li, I can't give it!"

Chunyu Yue lowered his head slightly, as if he was still thinking about what Ying Zheng said earlier.And the other courtiers were even more anxious because of some careful thoughts before, for fear that Ying Zheng would find one or two of them and kill them as an example.

"Wang Wan!"

"The minister is here." Wang Wan, who was the official censor, walked out of the queue with his head down, and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.

"I want you to supervise all the officials. From today onwards, anyone who dares to speak up will restore the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, entrust them, and rule according to the law!"

"Here!"

"Come here, take Chunyu Yue down." After Yingzheng finished announcing the decree, Li Si, who breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said calmly.

"Wait!"

Ying Zheng let out a soft drink, but it made Li Si's heart tangled up again.
