Chapter Four, The First Emperor Ying Zheng
However, Fusu knew the fact that Emperor First Emperor seemed to be in his prime and strong, but he would suddenly die of an acute illness in two years. I am afraid Ying Zheng himself did not expect this acute illness.
This gave Zhao Gaoke an opportunity to conspire with Li Si to push Hu Hai to the throne, which eventually led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
A voice pulled Fusu back from his reverie.
"I have found out that a total of 460 people have used evil words to confuse the head of Guizhou and slander His Majesty behind his back. Three hundred and thirty of them are Fangsheng sorcerers, and another one hundred and thirty are Confucian scholars. According to Qin's rules, they should be punished for death."
Fusu looked at him and an official wearing a wizard crown made a generous speech in the hall, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant. For those of law enforcement officials, the greatest benevolence and righteousness of the law could be enforced fairly.
After the censor finished his statement, he stood in the middle of the court and glanced at Fusu.
Fusu quietly turned around and looked at each other. Fusu saw from the censor's eyes that he was indifferent and disliked for himself. If it weren't for his identity as a young master, I'm afraid this censor would have been disgusted!
Fusu sorted out his words in his mind and then said: "Father, those Confucian scholars who violated the national law should be dealt with in accordance with the national law."
"But my son thought about it carefully and felt that it was a bad idea to deal with this matter only by punishment. The national law only dealt with the problems exposed outside, but it did not touch the root cause. In the long run, there will definitely be people who know that the law will break the law, confuse the head of Guizhou, and endanger our Qin Dynasty."
Ying Zheng lowered his head and was looking at the bamboo slips that the censor beat up, but when Fusu talked about it, Ying Zheng raised his head slightly. He had long been on the throne and had already developed the ability to not show his emotions. Looking up at this moment was enough to prove how shocked Ying Zheng was.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly without saying anything. The censor said, "Young Master, I think that if someone commits it again in the future, he will continue to deal with it according to the national law, so there is no need to worry about it."
Fusu smiled slightly and said, "Censor, do you still remember the original intention of my Qin Dynasty's legislation?"
Before the censor's answer, Fusu continued: "The chapter on Jin Ling of the Book of Shang Jun said: If the punishment is serious, the light will not come, the light will not come, the worst will not come, and the worst will not come. This means that punishment will be eliminated, and punishment will be eliminated."
"From this perspective, the purpose of our Qin Dynasty's legislation is to eliminate punishment. Although the laws are established now, the chaos of confusing the head of Qian is not changed. It goes against the original intention of our Qin Dynasty's legislation, and this is one of them."
"Secondly, our territory of Great Qin now starts from Liaodong in the east, reaches the plateau in the west, and reaches Yinshan in the south. There are 36 counties in the north. I dare to ask the censor, with the strength of the censor and his colleagues, can all the traitors in our territory who are confused and confused by the head of Guizhou to justice? If there are some fish that escape the net and secretly stir up the wind and waves, wouldn't it harm the safety of our Great Qin?"
Chunyu Yue's face looked extremely ugly, and he felt that Fusu was getting further and further away from him.
"Book of Shang Jun", how could the young master read such a book?
Compared with the life and death of those Confucian scholars, Chunyu Yue felt that it was no longer important at this moment. What was important was the attitude of Prince Fusu.
In an instant, Chunyu Yue seemed to feel betrayal. He and others tried their best to pull Fusu to the Confucian side, but now...
Ying Zheng completely put down the bamboo slips in his hand and patiently waited for Fusu's following.
Perhaps, Ying Zheng himself hadn't noticed that it had been many years since he had listened to Fusu's opinions carefully! In the past, he often had no choice but to say a long sentence, and before Fusu finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Ying Zheng!
