Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

"If you don't govern the world in the same way, then the country won't follow the rules of the ancients. Therefore, Tang and Wu are kings if they don't follow the ancients, and Xia and Yin are not easy to follow the rules and die."

"If you don't know the source of the rule of law, even if you follow the past, you will end up in chaos."

That is to say, apart from Confucianism, all schools of thought demand "change according to the past"...the key point is "change"!

Zhang Zi, or Kuang Zi, also known as Kuang Zhang, the famous general of Qi State, his mother was killed by his father because he offended his father and was buried under Ma Peng.

After Zhang Zi's father died, Zhang Zi never reburied his mother. This move was reviled by almost everyone at the time. Even King Qi Wei advised him to rebury his mother.

In the end, Zhang Zi said: "Because I didn't get my father's permission, I didn't dare to rebury my mother. Even if my father was dead, I didn't dare to betray the spirit of the king's father."

It was this move that made Zhang Zi's official career extremely difficult in the early days, and he was not reused until he showed his strength in the "Battle of Sancho".

Zhuangzi even scolded directly: Confucius did not see his mother, and Kuangzi did not see his father, which is a loss of righteousness.

Zhang Zi first studied Confucianism from Zisi, and was kicked out of Confucianism because of this incident.

Only Mencius praised his move and accepted him as a student, which was the only way he could bear the abuse of the world for him, otherwise he would not have been able to become an official based on his actions.

It can be seen from this that people in the world at that time and Confucianism had different attitudes towards the "ancestral system", and even Confucianism had different opinions.

Later, he only respected Confucianism, and the evaluation of Zhang Zi by later generations was all one-sided praise.

The poets of the Tang Dynasty praised him even more, "If you can be a son at home, you must be a minister, and the generals of Qi will be filial. He will be buried without bullying his dead father, and he will be born in Linrong Anken."

……

Gao Jing gestured to the memorial in Fusu's hand, and said: "Respecting the ancients can rectify the name, and rectifying the name can occupy the righteousness... This is a set of logical concepts of Confucianism.

The country title "Qin" was just a habitual name in the past, but after the unification of the world, "Qin" is the "name" of the old Qin people and the Qin dignitaries who occupy the victors, and it is the "righteousness" for them to plunder rights and interests. "!"

The emperor's tour this time finally made them realize this, so they wanted to regain the title of "Qin" and regain their "righteousness"!

Because only when the name of the country is "Qin", they, the old Qin people, can be superior, and they can call themselves the winners, and naturally plunder the interests of the losers. "

Fusu was stunned, looked at the memorial in his hand, and said: "Teacher sees thousands of miles away... But in this case, how should we deal with it?"

Gao Jing said with a smile: "It depends on the emperor and you. Your eyes are on "Qin", and the world belongs to "Qin people", and the people of the other six countries are all losers and slaves.

If you set your sights on the "Han", then all the people in the world will be "Han people", and all the people in the world will be Han people, and there will be no distinction between victory and defeat. "

"Students think "Han" is very good!"

Fusu smiled, picked up the pen directly, drew a big cross on the memorial, and then instructed from the side: "No more words."

……

Yingzheng went on a killing spree in Jingyang.

Even Ying Zheng clearly pointed out that since these people still hold the concept of "Qin", they should be punished with "Qin law".

(Zhao Li Zhao) As a result, nearly a hundred people were killed, and thousands of people were dismissed as peddlers and thrown to Lishan to repair the mausoleum.

The so-called "cheaters" only existed in Qin Fa.

To put it simply, because of violating the Qin law, there is a fine, but the amount of fine is so large that the prisoner can't afford it, so he can only borrow money from the government.

However, when borrowing money from the government, the prisoner must perform hard labor to make up for it, and work to pay off the debt, so it is called a "student".

There are wages for vain labor, although the wages have to be repaid to the government, but don't think that the treatment of "vain" is so good...

Prisoners, captives, etc., all belong to the state or private property, and death is a loss.

As for the vassals, they die when they die.

This is the same as capital employing people. If the employees are gone, they can recruit again, but if their slaves die, it is their own loss!

So in the original history, whether it was building the tomb or building the Great Wall, there were far more criminals who died than criminals and prisoners.

Chapter 240 Three Criminals

Several big families in Jingyang were almost wiped out.

When the news started to spread, even the atmosphere in Xianyang became tense.

All kinds of secret information reported to Fusu and Gao Jing pointed out that many officials began to connect with each other.

Most of the officials in the court today were former Qin officials, and behind each of them was a big family, and they were the representatives of the family's interests.

How could Ying Zheng's actions make them not panic?

It also made them realize clearly that it is Han now, not Qin!

Somewhere in the mansion, a group of people sat around anxiously.

"What should I do next?"

"They have gone too far. How dare they kill people for a few acres of land? Have you forgotten the strictness of the Qin law?"

"Where is the Qin law? Today's loose laws also make them feel slack."

"That's right, Qin is gone, and the laws have been relaxed, but they still regard themselves as heroes of Qin..."

"At the beginning, Gao Jing dropped a son casually, but he didn't expect to deal with it here!"

"From Qin to Han, who would have thought that there would be such a big impact?"

"Master Fusu 743 rejected the memorial to restore the "Qin", what should we do next?"

"The emperor's move is unfair. I waited for the old Qin people to shed so much blood for the unification of the world..."

"Be careful!"

"The previous credits have also been rewarded accordingly. I shouldn't wait for resentment."

"But this world was brought down by me and the old Qin people. The emperor won the world, so what if I got a few more acres of land?"

"What about the clan?"

"The clan is very rich now, and they are of the same mind with Gao Jing, how can they pay attention to us?"

"Jing Gong's methods... are astonishing."

"No matter how powerful Gao Jing is, what can he do? Can he still be an enemy of all the old Qin people?"

"Now that I think about it, Gao Jing should have known about this earlier, but he never took any action. Instead, the emperor went on a tour to deal with it..."

"Gao Jing doesn't dare to be an enemy of all the old Qin people, but the emperor dares... Can the old Qin people still oppose the emperor?"

"It's the emperor who killed and exterminated the clan. What does it have to do with Gao Jing?"

"..."

(bhdj) Everyone is talking about it, but they still can't come up with an effective solution.

Finally, someone whispered: "If you can win Xianyang, I implore the emperor to change his mind..."

But no one dared to answer the words, the crowd paused for a moment, and then started discussing again, as if no one had said what was said just now.

But it was remembered by everyone.

……

After the execution, the color of the city wall turned dark brown.

Nearly a hundred corpses have not been returned to the family. On the one hand, the family has been demoted and no one has collected the corpses. On the other hand, the right to dispose of these corpses now belongs to the Xing family.

Looking at the executioners from a distance, carrying the corpse away excitedly, Ying Zheng couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Li Si, who are those executioners? Why are they carrying the corpse?"

Li Si bowed aside and said, "Go back to His Majesty the Emperor, they are the Xing family, and they are carrying the corpse...for dissection."

"Punisher?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "What does this family say?"

Li Si replied: "The Xing Family and the Doctor Family come from the same lineage, they both originated from Yandi Shennong, and later went through Huangdi, Qibo and the great doctors around Huangdi to extract the essence.

It's just that in the process of inheritance and development, he parted ways with doctors and formed a family of his own.

Influenced by Taoism, doctors advocate treating patients with herbs, acupuncture, and decoctions.

The Xing family, on the other hand, respected the lineage of witch doctors, took a slanted approach to the two chapters of "Plain Questions" and "Lingshu" in "Emperor's Internal Classic", and demonstrated the knowledge of these articles by dissecting human or animal bodies.

Because its methods are too bloody, it is not famous in the world... The Xing family is a school of hundreds of schools specially invited by Jing Gong. "

Ying Zheng was taken aback: "Jing Chun invited me personally? What's so special about this Xing family?"

Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, but Duke Jing thinks highly of them, and he said that all the dead prisoners' bodies should be handled by them."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "Dissecting the corpse...the act of desecrating the dead is ultimately inappropriate."

"The emperor said so."

Li Si explained: "Animal corpses are easy to obtain, but human corpses are rare. The criminal family often collects autopsies on the battlefield, but after being discovered and expelled, they cooperate with bandits and robbers. Bandits and robbers take money. They take bodies.

After the establishment of the Baijia Academy, Duke Jing personally found them and invited them to serve as the executioners of the empire, and they disposed of the corpses of the condemned prisoners. "

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Since Jing Chun personally invited him, it must be beneficial to the empire...so be it."

"Here!"

Li Si saluted, but he was also amazed in his heart. The emperor's trust in Gao Jing even allowed him to do this kind of thing.

"Let's go."

……

The emperor's patrol team went down the canal and continued towards Jiuyuan County.

Its process is very bloody.

In the past, a county was cut down for a county, and a township was cut down for a township after passing through.

Officials along the way who participated in the incident of killing people and seizing land were all executed, and the family denounced the mausoleum.

Ignore the problem of no one governing after killing officials.

In fact, Ying Zheng didn't need to worry about it.

In the places where Yingzheng passed by, there were continuous instructions from Xianyang to promote low-level officials to fill the vacancies. At the same time, students from the local academy continued to go out and fill in.

Everything seemed to be rehearsed, methodical.

Even the style of the officials who were promoted was not investigated.

However, afterward, someone investigated and found that all the promoted officials had a good style of work and were able to govern the people well!
