Chapter 5 After becoming Zhao Gao, the First Emperor was reborn (5)

(five)

Sun Ge thought harshly as he looked at Fusu who was about to step forward to excuse himself.

To be honest, she really didn't understand why the glorious Fusu was brainwashed to this point. He ignored reality, ignored father and son, and believed that Confucianism was the most suitable for the Qin Dynasty.

Governing the country solely based on Confucianism and benevolence is the beginning of great chaos.

Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty later deposed hundreds of schools of thought to favor Confucianism and ushered in the dominance of Confucianism for two thousand years, it could not change the essence of Confucianism and legal principles in actual governance.

Confucianism stresses the importance of cultivating one's moral character, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Confucius indeed said many things, but what about the specific means of governance?

Is it possible that if the king shouts that he loves his subjects, then the country will be in good weather and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment without sin?

What nonsense.

Even when the five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, the country is governed by law and governed by virtue.

Confucianism without reform cannot shoulder the responsibility of entering the temple.

"Father."

Under Sunge's gaze and Chunyu Yue's silent request, Fusu lived up to expectations and jumped out to excuse these Confucian scholars.

In Fusu's heart, these Confucian scholars who had the talent to help the world were his masters.

"Father, what Zhao Fuling said is far-fetched. Dr. Chunyu has the right to advise. This was given by Emperor Father when he invited scholars from the Six Nations to Xianyang."

"Deceiving the emperor and committing crimes are all the words of Zhao Fuling. How can the words of a saint be interpreted at will by Zhao Fuling?"

Fusu has a long body, is as gentle as jade, and his tone is also humble and polite.

But to the ears of the First Emperor and Sunge, it was only unpleasant and harsh.

Sun Ge secretly glanced at the First Emperor, why didn't he get angry?

If she doesn't get angry, she won't be able to stand it anymore.

The conscience of heaven and earth, she really is not fanning the flames, just for fear that the world will not be in chaos.

The First Emperor's face was as dark as water, his eyes were cold, and his whole body was like a dead spring, unable to feel any life.

Fusu.

A son of whom he was proud and had high hopes.

Sun Ge suddenly couldn't bear it, and bravely spoke jokingly before the First Emperor spoke, brushing aside the tit-for-tat confrontation just now. "The eldest son questions the servant, and the servant understands."

"What I don't understand is why the eldest son believes so deeply in the explanations of these Confucian scholars."

"Is it possible that Confucius is reincarnated among these people, or is it possible that the seventy-two disciples who were lucky enough to listen to Confucius' teachings are reincarnated?"

Fusu was startled, his throat rolled up and down, and he held back a sentence for a long time, "Doctors have all gone through systematic study, how could they make mistakes."

"I just raised a question. Why don't you let Dr. Chunyu go and ask? It is great and glorious to devote yourself to academics. I don't think Dr. Chunyu will refuse."

Sunge spread his hands, very innocently, with a look of thirsty for knowledge.

Fusu wanted to refute, but was unable to speak.

Go down and ask?

Where to go?

Who to ask?

Chunyu Yue stared at Sun Ge bitterly.

Didn't he just not want to hand over the reins of Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty to Zhao Gao? Is it necessary for Zhao Gao to put him to death like this?

In a short time, he had died three times in Zhao Gao's mouth.

"alright."

Ying Zheng, who had been watching the show for a long time, slowly spoke.

His voice was still calm and dignified, making it difficult to hear his emotions.

"Fusu, now that you have reached the crown, you can make your own choices."

"Should I worship Zhao Fuling as my teacher, or should I continue to follow in the footsteps of the Confucian sages?"

Ying Zheng knew that Zhao Gao was truly talented, proficient in the law, and an experienced driver.

It is more than enough to teach Fu Su the law. After all, he is a person who can even scheme with Li Si.

It's a pity that Fusu doesn't understand his good intentions.

If you don’t understand it now, you won’t understand it in the future when you experience it with Meng Tian in the army.

Fusu's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time that his father respected his opinion on Confucianism and Legalism. Did his father listen to it?

Yes, Confucianism is broad and profound, and it is normal for my father to have some changes in his views.

"My father and my sons believe that Confucianism is the orthodox thought for governing the country."

"My son wishes..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng waved his hand and interrupted Fusu's words.

He knew those clichés without even listening.

"That being the case, I won't force you."

"Zhao Gao, go back to your seat and see what the noise in the hall looks like."

Sunge said respectfully, "No."

"As for Chunyu Yue, since he is not very proficient in Confucian classics, he will study at home from tomorrow without going to court."

Chunyu Yue:......

Isn't His Majesty's punishment a little too partial?

But he didn't dare to shout anymore, studying at home was better than killing the Nine Clan.

After withdrawing from the court, the First Emperor left Li Si alone, with Zhao Gao accompanying him.

All civil and military officials were not surprised by this scene.

When Li Si was still a Tingwei, he was the most trusted person by the emperor.

"Zhao Gao, do you know your guilt?"

"I know my sin."

Sunge's confession of good deeds is like a stream of confession.

From the very beginning, her words put Chunyu Yue on the opposite side, and it would not hurt her whether Fusu asked for mercy or not.

If Fusu didn't plead, she would kill Chunyu Yue.

If Fusu pleads for mercy, it will save her trouble.

No matter how much Fusu advocated Confucianism, Chunyu Yue was only his self-considered master, and she, the first emperor, Jinkou Yuyan, asked Fusu to worship her as his teacher in front of the courtiers and learn the law.

Fusu publicly opposed and questioned her, so the apprenticeship naturally ended.

"Why?" Ying Zheng looked ugly.

Zhao Gao actually gave up on Fusu before him, which he couldn't accept.

If Zhao Gao hadn't seen more scenes that he didn't know about, he wouldn't have given Zhao Gao a chance to explain.

"Your Majesty, it is easy to change a country's nature but hard to change it. As Your Majesty said just now, Mr. Fusu has reached the peak of his career. His cognitive temperament is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed by manpower."

"Even if I have some influence, it will only be temporary."

"A few years earlier, I would have tried my best to change and reshape Mr. Fusu's outlook on life, but now it's too late."

It is not easy to change an adult's established cognition.

Do you think you are fooling primary school students?

Well, later elementary school students are also precocious, so it’s hard to fool them.

Sunge paused and continued, "Centralization of power and the system of counties and counties is a historical trend. Mr. Fusu is bent on imitating the Great Zhou Dynasty and enfeoffing abandoned counties and counties. Once he comes to power, the unified empire that your Majesty has spent his whole life building is likely to fall apart."

"I don't want to take risks."

Li Si was dumbfounded and stood aside blankly. Could he listen to this?

Also, is Zhao Gao too courageous?

After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked, "What do you think of Fusu?"

Li Si:……

He no longer wanted to enjoy the honor of being left alone by His Majesty.

Can this question be answered casually?

Li Si frowned, considered, and said cautiously, "Master Fusu is your Majesty's eldest son. He is elegant, gentle, and knowledgeable. A tiger father has no dog son, so he is naturally excellent."

Fusu had quarreled with him not once or twice. If it hadn't been for His Majesty's young master, he would have killed Fusu long ago.

This is not to say that Fu Su is not good, but that he is too naive, so naive that it is ridiculous.
