Chapter 96 Chapter Ninety-six: Civil and Military Ways
Fusu glanced at Ying Yue doubtfully, then glanced at the ministers, walked back to the throne and sat down.
"Uncle Eighth, since you object to my arrangement, please tell me your reasons."
Fusu was not angry and gave Ying Yue a chance to express his opinion.
"My lord, do you know why the late emperor did the thing of 'burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars'? It was just because the Confucian scholars in the world made irresponsible remarks about the government and incited the people to fight against our great Qin court. Therefore, the late emperor made this decision despite the criticism of the people in the world. Now my lord, not only
You want these Confucian scholars to enter the Imperial Academy, and you also want them to serve as officials. Where do you want to place the late emperor?"
Fusu had no idea that Ying Yue would make a fuss about the late emperor's "burning books and entrapping Confucians". Fusu was indeed caught off guard. If he insisted on letting all the Confucian scholars from all over the world enter the Imperial Academy and engage in politics, he would definitely be rejected by the clan's descendants.
As well as the criticisms made by the former emperor and his old ministers, if you are afraid of the criticism and follow the clan's advice, you will chill the hearts of Confucian scholars and the world's eager to learn.
"The Eighth Uncle's words are reasonable. He hastily allowed Confucian scholars to serve as officials in the court. It is indeed against the late emperor's sage wisdom. It is Fusu's lack of consideration."
Hearing what Fusu said, Ying Yao and others showed dissatisfaction on their faces. They did not expect Fusu to compromise with the clan so quickly. It seemed that they had misjudged the person.
"Sir, if that's the case, please let me go back." Xia Huanggong Cui Guang said disappointedly.
Seeing that Duke Xia Huang was about to resign, Ying Yue's face flashed with excitement, and he looked proudly at Ying Yao and others in front of him, waiting for Fusu to annul the decision he just made.
"Xia Huanggong, please be patient and don't be impatient. Since what the eighth uncle said is reasonable, tomorrow I will go to the Ancestral Temple to confess my sins to the late emperor and ask my ancestors for divination. If the late emperor is dissatisfied with my decision, please bring disaster. I will
It is one person's responsibility to invite those who are eager to learn from all over the world to join the Imperial College, and I have made up my mind about participating in politics and will not change it."
Ying Yue thought that under the coercion of filial piety, Fusu would have to cancel the decision to invite Confucian scholars to attend Imperial College and participate in government affairs. Unexpectedly, Fusu actually proposed such a painless solution, and it was hard to say anything more.
.
In the eyes of the Qin people, confessing sins to their ancestors was a cruelty to themselves.
"Sir, you must not do this." Li Si quickly spoke to dissuade him.
"Young master is responsible for the state of Qin alone. How can you make such a heavy oath so easily?"
"Please, Master, please take back your life."
…
For a time, Li Si, Meng Yi, Zhang Liang and others began to dissuade him, because in their view, if the late emperor was dissatisfied with Fusu's decision, disaster would inevitably befall Fusu, so they were panicked for a while, afraid of Fusu.
accident.
"My lords, there is no need to worry. I am the son of the Great Qin Dynasty and the eldest son of the late emperor. Moreover, Fusu's actions are also for our great Qin State. How could the late emperor bring disaster to me so easily?" Fusu smiled at Li Si and the others.
The ministers advised.
All the ministers knew Fusu's temper. No one could persuade Fusu to do anything he decided to do.
Seeing that they could not persuade Fusu, everyone had no choice but to give up.
"I have something to report to you, Meng Yi. Ying Yue is the leader of the prince's clan. However, he has bad intentions and intends to harm the prince. I ask you to punish him."
Meng Yi was originally an important minister of the First Emperor, but now he was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo by Fusu. He was extremely loyal to Fusu. Now when he sees Fusu being forced by Ying Yue, he will go to the Ancestral Temple to accuse him, and he may even be punished by the late emperor.
The gods brought disaster, and they were filled with anger for a moment, so they naturally transferred their anger to Ying Yue, and took the lead in impeaching Ying Yue.
"Your Majesty Li Si seconded the proposal"
"I also believe that Feng Chang (an official in the Qin Dynasty, responsible for sacrifices and the clan) Ying Yue has evil intentions and intends to harm the young master and destroy our country of Qin. I also ask the young master to kill this evil thief."
…
Because Meng Yi took the lead, most of the courtiers began to remonstrate with Fu Su and requested that Ying Yue be killed.
Seeing the changes in the court, Shangshan Sihao looked at the ministers with a smile, without making any statement, but his eyes were full of admiration for Fusu.
Looking at Ying Yao again, his face was calm, with neither joy nor dissatisfaction at all.
In fact, Fusu had already noticed the behavior of the ministers, Shangshan Sihao and Ying Yao, but he just didn't pay attention to it. Fusu was really curious about Ying Yao's reaction. It was incredible why this person could be so calm.
Ying Yue did not expect that things would reach such a level, and he immediately felt regretful. So many ministers were admonishing him to kill him. Maybe Fusu would actually take his own head to appease the anger of the ministers.
Fu Su took a look at Ying Yue. At this moment, there was no trace of blood on Ying Yue's face. Regret was written on his pale face, and he was looking at Fu Su tremblingly.
"My lords, I understand your thoughts. They are all for the sake of our Daqin State. Fusu thanks you. But what I just said is not to hurt the late emperor's wisdom. Please forgive me if I didn't say it for a moment.
Anyone who shouldn't be spoken will be killed, so who will dare to speak in this court from now on? Do you think this is true?" Fusu said and glanced at the ministers with a sincere face.
Seeing that Fusu had no intention of dealing with him, Ying Yue recovered from his panic.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for not killing me."
"Eighth Uncle, I miss you because I don't want to hurt the late Emperor's honor, so I won't care about it this time." Fusu pretended to be generous and forgave Ying Yue's guilt.
Without Ying Yue's obstruction, the expansion of Da Qin Imperial Academy was successfully implemented.
Since the news that Ying Yao and Shangshan Sihao joined Fusu and expanded the Qin Imperial Academy on the site of Afang Palace spread to all parts of the Qin Dynasty, Confucian scholars from all over the country have picked up the cold heart of assisting the government and once again picked up the Analects of Confucius.
" and other books, were punished by the "burning books and entrapping Confucian scholars", and the cultural context of the Qin Dynasty once again ushered in a revival.
On this day, Li Si came to Shanglinyuan worriedly and reported an important matter to Fusu.
"Master, these Confucian scholars have come back to life, but the people in the army are making trouble again. There are letters of request from all the camps, requesting Master to abolish the Imperial College recommendation system. I think this matter is related to the safety of our country, so we should not be careless!"
Fusu had long thought that these soldiers would make a fuss. After all, they joined the army to find wives and wives. Now that Fusu has come up with a "recommendation system for imperial studies", it is not obvious that those Confucian scholars will be separated from their original belongings.
What about the titles and official positions of those who are serving in the army? Naturally, they will not give up. If they don't make a fuss, they will not be able to show their respect for the blood of those who are serving in the army.
When military generals rule the country, the people's lives are too tiring; when Confucian scholars rule the country, the country lacks a martial spirit. Therefore, it is necessary to balance the relationship between the two, not only to make the people's lives easier, but also to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Qin army. This makes
Fusu is a bit difficult to control. After all, this is his first time to dominate a country.
