Chapter 633: A Virtuous Circle(1/2)
Kong Qiang, who is no longer in the court and is rooted in the academy, has fully utilized his talents and made his articles clear, which is very consistent with his characteristics after Confucius.
He took the example of the Chinese countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, believing that the Chinese kings at that time became kinship and alliance with each other, and eventually fought against each other.
The uninterrupted conquest for two hundred years was a sharp comment on the begging words of the King of Bendu.
No matter how nice it sounds, it is actually useless.
At the beginning, everyone signed a covenant, but even these comrades in uniform could not stick to the covenant, let alone foreign races like the Bendu Kingdom.
Looking at the previous words and deeds of the King of Bendu, his words were like farting.
His verbal promise is worthless.
Therefore, Kong Feng’s ultimate view is to eliminate the roots and never leave any future troubles.
But Bao Bailing had a different view.
From the view that "the saints do not trap the crowd", he believed that the King of Bendu deserved to die.
However, because of his own mistake, he cannot take his anger at other people because of this.
After all, King Bendu is just the king of the kingdom of Bendu.
Under his rule, millions of people were still there.
Such a country is much bigger than the previous six countries.
Even if the Qin Dynasty might kill other countries' troops in the process of unifying China, it would never attack ordinary people.
If we eradicate the roots and eliminate all evil things.
Do these people want to be killed?
This meaningless massacre is absolutely unnecessary.
On the contrary, killing these people will waste a lot of labor in vain, which is a huge waste of resources.
Therefore, Bao Bailing's view is to only punish the evil people.
In the future, other schools of thought appeared one after another, each expressing their own opinions.
After a closer look, everyone's views were different.
For example, Shang Hao, a famous scholar, believes that murder cannot solve the problem.
Before dealing with this matter, the court should first formulate a method to manage the Kingdom of Mandu in the future.
Otherwise, everything now is empty talk.
The Mohist view is even more easy-going than the Confucianism. He believes that the people are innocent and should not take the blame for the mistakes of the King of Bendu.
Among them, Wu Cheng's articles from the Academy of Sciences are the most eye-catching.
Wu Cheng's article is very straightforward, but the evil spirit is simply thrust through the back of the paper.
He despised Kong Feng's hypocrisy of wanting to be a good person and establishing, and said bluntly that Bao Bailing wanted to engage in slavery in the Bendu Kingdom.
After spraying all the people in front of him, Wu Cheng threw out his point of view, that is, everyone in the Bendu Kingdom should be killed.
The civilians in that country did not even have the qualifications to be slaves to Daqin.
Of course, everyone can understand Wu Cheng's extreme remarks.
After all, if it weren't for Bendu Kingdom, his only son would not have died.
However, everyone doesn’t care about Wu Cheng’s words, but the remarks of the others are worthy of attention.
You should know that those who express their opinions in newspapers are all big names from the hundreds of schools today.
These people may not have a prominent position now, but most of the officials in the court come from their disciples.
If we put aside the factors of the Daqin Academy, the influence of these people can be said to be extremely terrifying.
On the night the newspaper was released, it was said that a debate was held in the Daqin Academy.
The priest Kong Jing summoned the students from the academy to express their opinions and speak freely on this matter.
Kong Feng has words. Students who have meaningful words can organize their ideas into articles and post them in newspapers.
The students' eyes turned red under the stimulation of this stipulation that could not be called a reward.
It is said that the lights of the Daqin Academy were not turned off all night last night, and students from various colleges were verbal and the debate was extremely fierce.
Their remarks will be published in the Great Qin Dynasty tomorrow.
However, at this time, the members of the resolution took out the matter and put it on the table to discuss it, not because of the debate itself.
Now the nine members of the resolution are all old ministers.
They grew up with Zhao Kun and tempered in the court for a long time.
Perhaps these people are a little immature in terms of their methods of doing things.
However, as the most powerful people in the Qin Dynasty, except for the emperor, their political wisdom is not low at all.
Everyone knows that the debate is actually no big deal.
What they care about is the attitude that the Daqin Academy showed through this incident, an attitude that was eager to make its own voice on the huge stage of Daqin.
For this reason, the bigwigs of the hundreds of schools of thought did not hesitate to endorse the school with their reputation.
They are willing to use their personal influence to promote the status of the Daqin Academy in the court.
As a courtier, he is always extremely sensitive in such matters.
When Zhao Kun ascended the throne, although he re-divided the institutions and established a framework for the three provinces and thirteen ministries.
But outside this framework, the Daqin Academy and the Academy of Sciences are also listed separately, becoming two unique institutions.
No one understood Zhao Kun's intention to make such arrangements.
At the beginning, they also believed that the Daqin Academy could be ranked alongside the Academy of Sciences with an extremely important status. Obviously, Zhao Kun had a high expectation for the Academy.
However, this year, Zhao Kun almost never entered the school and rarely inquire about the Daqin Academy.
Only then did people's speculation gradually subside.
Unexpectedly, in the face of Zhao Kun's obvious cold treatment, the Daqin Academy was unwilling to be lonely and took the initiative to do something.
With the increasing number of newspapers in Daqin, the newspaper industry has developed very rapidly.
People are increasingly aware that public opinion is also an extremely important means or even a weapon.
The Great Qin Academy brings together the world's literary talent. If they want to control public opinion, they are naturally ahead of other institutions.
The nine congressmen here are basically from Baijia.
So, as soon as this happened, they were very uncomfortable.
In the court, nine of them were important officials below one person and above ten thousand people, and they were known as the Minister of Discipline.
The power has reached their point, and it has basically come to an end.
At this time, you must especially straighten the relationship behind you and not have any suspicious behavior.
Unexpectedly, their teachers and commanders asked them a difficult problem.
For example, Shusun Tong.
In the Great Qin Academy, Bao Bailing was his teacher who had served the ceremony of apprenticeship, and Chunyu Yue also had the reality of being a master and apprentice with him.
As for Kong Feng, he has a good relationship with Shusun Tong, and he feels like he is a friend of his age.
Now Chunyu Yue is not visible or exposed, but Bao Bailing and Kong Feng are very active.
The two had already withdrawn from the court and had a unique position, but for the sake of the Qin Academy, they were willing to perform a big fight in the newspaper at this time.
This is no longer a shame, it is completely a matter of lifting down his old face that has been respected for so many years and throwing it on the ground and trampling it on his own desperately.
This is to make the Daqin Academy make its own voice and gain influence in addition to its literary reputation.
Everyone knows that the final result of this debate started by the Daqin Academy is nothing but an end.
After all, the final decision of what they said depends on what Zhao Kun means.
But the old guys are in this place.
The bigwigs of the Hundred Schools spoke out and almost all the decisions Zhao Kun might have made.
Finally, no matter what Zhao Kun does, they can always make one mistake.
Although Bao Bailing and Kong Feng had a close relationship with Shusun Tong, Shusun Tong believed that the two of them were actually very immature when they were playing with public opinion.
No need to ask, Shusun Tong can guess it.
After Zhao Kun made the final decision, another article will be published in the Great Qin Review, claiming that His Majesty agrees with Mr. XX of the Great Qin Academy.
The people don’t care about the twists and turns behind these. At that time, they will only simply think that the comments on the Qin Dynasty are very reliable, and even His Majesty listens to the bigwigs’ ideas.
This kind of thing happened a few times.
Needless to say, the commentary on the Daqin period will quickly gather great influence among the people.
At that time, the Daqin Academy will put forward a certain point, and at some point, your Majesty will have to pinch his nose and recognize it.
