Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 106 My sister doesn’t love me?

"The political disagreement between the minister and the Prime Minister of Qin is a dispute between gentlemen. How can the prince think that the minister is so narrow-minded?"

Chunyu Yue shook his head and said in amusement: "I and Tonggu have even more different political views, but will it affect our personal friendship?"

Tonggu is the font name of Li Si.

In comparison, although Qin Mo also had political disagreements with Chunyu Yue, he pursued both etiquette and law.

After all, it has something in common with Confucianism!

Li Si, on the other hand, was completely in line with the Legalists, advocating the prohibition of private learning and the abolition of "Poems", "Books", Historical Records of the Six Kingdoms and Baijiayu.

Much more ruthless than Qin Moke, he can even be said to be the mortal enemy of hundreds of schools of thought!

But the personal relationship between Chunyu Yue and Li Si was obvious to all, and they could be called good friends who loved each other with sincerity.

Chunyu Yue offended Ying Zheng several times, and it was Li Si who took the lead in interceding.

Therefore, Chunyu Yue is probably the one true gentleman in a million, otherwise it would not be possible for Li Si to surrender like this!

Fusu was speechless, and after a long while he said again: "Even if gentlemen quarrel, my mentor is still open to the words of Prime Minister Qin."

Chunyu Yue: "..."

Chunyu Yue was choked suddenly and looked at his disciple speechlessly. His temperament was becoming more and more like his own.

But, it’s so annoying!

Did it turn out that I was so annoying before?

"To this day, the Qin Dynasty is seeking innovation and change everywhere, even more so than in times of war and chaos."

"Taking the Prime Minister of Qin as an example, he initially advocated the promotion of prefectures and counties, and his ambition was stronger than His Majesty's, but what about now?"

"Before the lands outside the Great Wall were captured, Prime Minister Qin had already advised His Majesty to implement a system of enfeoffment and enfeoffment outside the Great Wall."

"In the prince's opinion, is Prime Minister Qin trying to support Confucianism?"

Chunyu Yue first laid the groundwork, and finally asked Fusu Dao.

Fusu immediately shook his head: "Of course not, Prime Minister Qin's policy of enfeoffment is to extend favor, not the real enfeoffment."

"After the father dies, the children will inherit, and even women have the right to inherit. In less than a hundred years, they will be inseparable. When the Qin Dynasty establishes prefectures and counties again, they can get the cultivated land outside the Great Wall for nothing!"

Chunyu Yue pondered and nodded: "So, when the Prime Minister of Qin needs it, he will take the Shang and Zhou system followed by my Confucianism and reshape it for use."

"Why can't I take the words of Prime Minister Qin, seek innovation and change based on the inherent foundation of Confucianism, and maintain the glory of the world's most famous learning?"

"Confucius said that among the three of us, we must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones... Seeking innovation and change is the only way out for Confucianism!"

"Hasn't the prince noticed that even the ancient Legalist theory has become outdated and useless in the Qin Empire?"

"If the Legalists do not seek innovation and change, they will be despised by His Majesty sooner or later!"

Chunyu Yue's words hit the nail on the head and are irrefutable.

Fusu clasped his hands to accept the teaching and said: "What my teacher said is very true. I heard that Han Fei is also re-editing his early works. It may be that the Legalists are ahead of the curve and are already pursuing innovation and changes."

Chunyu Yue was stunned and said in astonishment: "Seriously?"

Fusu nodded affirmatively: "Xiang Qin said it to his father personally, and his father was also very happy. He said that when Han Fei completes the re-editing, he would like to preview it first."

Chun Yuyue's old face suddenly wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he tugged on his beard nervously and murmured: "Legalism has already overtaken Confucianism. If we are still ahead in seeking innovation and change, will we, Confucianism, still have a way to survive? We need to hurry up.

You have to hurry up..."

Seeing him like this, Fusu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master, what should we do quickly?"

Chunyu Yue suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing his disciple's eagerness for knowledge, he had no intention of hiding it. He just lowered his voice and said, "The people of Yue respect your Majesty as the Emperor of the Sun. Don't you find it interesting, Prince?"

Fusu asked doubtfully: "How interesting?"

Chunyu Yueran said: "This move coincides with the emperor of Zhou's imperial edict. Shang died due to wrongdoing. Zhou won the people's support because of his righteousness. The emperor was ordered by heaven. God sent the emperor to the lower world with the purpose of leaving the emperor.

Exercising the destiny..."

Fusu seemed to have some understanding, but he couldn't figure it out.

If Qin Mo were here, he would probably be shocked to hear that this old man had already done Dong Zhongshu's trick in advance.

This is really a dog that jumps over the wall when it's anxious, and a rabbit that bites when it's anxious. People who are anxious can do anything!

After all, Fusu is not an emperor. I don’t know how useful the New Confucian system with theological tendencies is for the rule of feudal emperors.

Therefore, when I heard the end, I didn’t comment or disagree, and I didn’t feel that there was anything outstanding about it. I just clasped my hands and said, “Disciple, please wait patiently to read my master’s masterpiece.”

Chunyu Yue knew this disciple very well. One look at his appearance and he knew that he didn't take it seriously. Just when he was about to explain something, Fusu said again: "Teacher, I'm here to ask you what Prime Minister Qin is doing today."

Is it too deviant to say that?”

This brings the topic back again.

Chunyu Yue nodded first, then shook his head, and explained: "For the Venerable, of course it is deviant."

"But as far as the people are concerned, there is nothing wrong with it. If a respected person does not practice benevolence and instead practices harsh government, he is the enemy of the people."

"After all, the people paid taxes to support the Venerable because they wanted the Venerable to train an army to protect them, and to lead them to live and work in peace and contentment, not to support a group of oppressive people and in turn oppress them."

"The words of Prime Minister Qin actually coincide with the words of Confucianism and point directly to the essence of rule. Those who do not cultivate benevolence and virtue are not worthy of being respected."

"In other words, if the ruler treats the people like dirt, then the people will treat the ruler like a bandit."

"However, the people are weak after all. Only when they are oppressed will they rise up and resist. If you extend your kindness to others, you don't have to feel deviant."

"Anyone who deviates from the traditional ways must be a person who does not practice benevolence, and they deserve to be criticized by the people!"

Fusu's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Well, let me come to you to clarify my doubts. You are more deviant than Prime Minister Qin.

Fusu was thinking this in his heart, but he clasped his hands and bowed solemnly: "Disciple, I have been taught...Teacher, please rest early, disciple, take your leave!"

Chunyu Yue did not hold back, got up and sent Fusu out of the tent, then quickly went back to his desk to write, and began to work hard on his theologically inclined New Confucianism.

When Fusu returned to his tent, he didn't sleep either. He was also busy writing at his desk, writing down what Qin Mo said today as a memorial.

When the sky was dark, he handed the memorial to a group of soldiers and asked them to hurry up and present it to Ying Zheng!

After Fusu sent off the soldiers, the sky was completely bright, and then he discovered that many officials had just sent away their retainers in front of the nearby tents.

Thirty-five percent of the family members who were sent away were also carrying large bundles of bamboo slips, and their departure directions were surprisingly the same.

It even almost caused congestion on the road...

"Your Highness, good morning~!"

All the civil servants bowed their hands to Fusu in greeting.

Fusu and everyone understood each other tacitly, bowed his hands and returned the greeting: "Everyone is diligent."

At this time, Qin Mo's tent suddenly heard an irritating complaint: "What's wrong if you don't sleep so early in the morning? If you want to report good fortune from nine to five, you have to wait until nine o'clock. This special meow has not even arrived yet~!"

"

Everyone had just sent away the snitch, and when they heard Qin Mo's voice, they felt inexplicably guilty. They all shrank their necks and quietly walked back to the tent.

Qin Mo didn't know that he was being reported by a group of rebellious people. He vaguely heard that it was quiet outside, so he turned over with satisfaction and went back to sleep.

"Hmm~!"

It seemed like he was rolling over and crushing someone.

The person in his arms stiffened and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Qin Mo finally realized something was wrong.

He opened his eyes and looked into a pair of beautiful round eyes.

Looking further away, it turned out to be a mature and dignified pretty face.

It is undoubtedly Lu Pheasant!

"Well……"

Qin Mo looked around and saw that Yu Ji was wrapped in a woolen sleeping bag and had already sneaked into the corner of the tent.

"Why do you smell so good..."

Qin Mo looked away and wanted to ask Lu Pheasant why he had perfume, but he stopped talking when he reached his lips.

With Yu Ji's vain temper, how could she not show off her good things in front of Lu Pheasant?

And given Lu Pheasant's dignified and harmless appearance, but his deep-tempered temperament, it probably wouldn't be difficult to get some perfume from Yu Ji for his own use!

"What's your expression?"

Qin Mo was about to withdraw his hands and let go of Lu Pheasant, but found that her face was full of fear and wariness. He suddenly felt that he was hit by hundreds of millions of points, and said quietly: "Sister, you don't love me?"

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He hesitated for a long time and shook his head slightly, with a blush on his pretty face.

Qin Mo turned from worry to joy and looked back at Yu Ji. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he hugged Lu Fei into his arms like a scumbag.

But when Lu Fei hugged him, his body began to stiffen again, and his pretty face was full of resistance: "Gentleman..."

She really wanted to ask if the gentleman and the eldest princess had such a messy relationship.

But, it’s really hard to say!

Qin Mo could not imagine that her thoughts were so dirty, and he thought she was worried about Yu Ji, so he blurted out the slanderous words: "Don't be afraid of the little girl, don't you think it's more fun to sneak behind her back? Hehe!"

Well, someone seems to have a dirtier mind.

Lu Pheasant: "..."

Lu Pheasant's views were completely shattered, and he could only sigh secretly: "What evil did I do in my previous life to meet such a weird thing!"

…

…

Two days later, the Yujia Camp was rebuilt from Baozhu Village.

Ying Zheng and a group of military attachés sat on the general stage in the school grounds. While handling government affairs, they watched Jiang Xiong and others train more than 10,000 Chunan infantry, as well as more than 6,000 imperial troops who were not on duty today.

According to Ying Zheng's instructions, more than 16,000 soldiers are currently training infantry drills!

Soldiers who have the foundation of battle formations will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort if they practice the infantry drills of later generations. In just over ten days, the formation march is already in shape.

But what should be said or left unsaid is probably the level of military training of college students!

If you want to be like the PLA of later generations, you have to have your own rules for walking, sitting and lying, and implement infantry drills into your daily life. It is impossible without March or May, and it may even take more than half a year...

After all, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were generally not well-educated and were far inferior to the high-quality soldiers of later generations. Many things could only be learned by instructors using corporal punishment over and over again.

"Wang Qi, the captain of the school, should you step with your right foot first when walking in unison? Go out and stab the halberd a hundred times. Give me a long memory!"

The ginger bear's roar suddenly echoed throughout the classroom.

It seems that generals who have studied well will not necessarily behave well and be exempted from punishment.

Wang Ben sat on the general stage and saw that Wang Qi, the most outstanding member of the Wang family's junior generation, was being trained like a grandson, and he couldn't help but secretly grin.

The military attaches nearby were also very happy. Fortunately, most of the civil servants accompanying Ying Zheng were taken away by Qin Mo. They were needed as military attaches to temporarily assist in handling government affairs.

Otherwise, it will not only be soldiers and low-level generals who are being trained off the field, but high-level generals like them will also have to go out and embarrass themselves.

After all, how can a general not be familiar with military formations?!

"The Forbidden Army are all elite soldiers with a strong foundation and rapid progress. Now that the training has begun to bear fruit, we will just strengthen the training in the future. We will not participate in the training tomorrow and start planning the farming."

"In addition, the prince and the ministers jointly submitted a report that if they want to build a straight road from Iron Mountain to the coast, they should also send people to survey and measure it. After the spring plowing of the fields is completed, the construction will start immediately."

Ying Zheng looked away from the school grounds and gave instructions to the accompanying military attachés.

All the military attaches clasped their hands and accepted the order: "Here!"

Tap tap tap——

At this time, the sound of galloping horses came from the direction of the camp gate. Everyone turned to look, and saw hundreds of knights with flags on their backs, entering the camp and heading towards the general's platform.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has a memorial to submit!"

A group of armored knights were the first to arrive at the general stage. The leading knight held up a bundle of bamboo slips and said.

When the knight arrived later, he also took off the bamboo slip from his back like him, held it up and said: "Feng Jie, the imperial censor, has a memorial to present to your majesty."

"Tingwei Li Si has a memorial to submit to Your Majesty."

"The doctor's servant shoots Zhou Qingchen and has a memorial to send to His Majesty."

"Tingwei is in prison and is weak. There is a memorial to submit..."

The retainers gathered in small groups, holding high bamboo briefs with the names of their family heads on them, including almost all the civil servants who were taken away by Qin Mo.

I'm afraid only a few people didn't submit memorials!

There is no memorial by Qin Mo!

Zhao Gao and several waiters got off the ordering platform and collected the bamboo slips one by one. After checking, they placed them on the table in front of Ying Zheng, making a pile half as high as a person.

Ying Zheng was stunned by this, and after a while he suddenly cursed: "I'm scared, I must have done something reckless again to offend the prince and other ministers. They all reported to me."

The accompanying military attachés looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Qin Mo had done to make the prince and other civil servants angry.

Don't you disappear again?

"Huh~!"

Ying Zheng let out a long breath, suppressed the urge to slap someone in his heart, picked up Fusu Memorial and started reading.

However, after he could see the outline at a glance, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up Feng Jie's memorial and read it.

After reading several bundles of memorials, his expression became more and more relaxed, and finally he burst into laughter.

That's it?

Is it also worth mobilizing troops and mobilizing people?

Is it worth it to be the collective frying pan?

As long as you are not a coward and want to rebel, what are you afraid of if you just criticize someone as a respected person?

Don’t you know that if future generations decentralize imperial power, officials must have some restrictions, and the collective supervision of the people is the most effective restriction.

Qin Mo's critical remarks were a shot in the arm for the people, and they were indeed prepared for a rainy day.

It also corresponds to the previous motto borrowed by Ying Zheng: you are paid well, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, but the king's law is hard to bully!

"I only know what it is, but I don't know why it is what it is. If you make a fuss about it, take it away and burn it."

Ying Zheng left one bundle of bamboo slips, and with a wave of his hand, Zhao Gao asked Zhao Gao to take away the others and burn them.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I am very pleased that you have a loyal heart to your Majesty. I will give each of you a hundred gold to encourage you!"
