Through the encounter with the first emperor of Qin

Chapter 52

Another year passed peacefully.The lives of Jin Ke and Ying Zheng have not changed, except that wherever Jin Ke goes, there is usually a silent Zhou Qi behind him.

At the beginning, Jin Ke also thought about not letting Zhou Qi follow him.After all, no one wants to go wherever there is someone behind him, the feeling of being watched is really uncomfortable.

But Zhou Qi is a deadhead, thinking that since he has been given to the queen by the emperor, he is the queen's person.He must not disappoint the emperor's love, and must always follow the queen to protect her safety.

After hearing Zhou Qi's words, Jin Ke couldn't help complaining in his heart: Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi, although you are not small.But can you compare to the martial arts of the hidden guards raised in the palace?How many hidden guards do you think I am following?

Well, Jin Ke couldn't tell Zhou Qi that clearly.Otherwise, the hidden guard would not be a guard in the dark.

Forget it, Zhou Qi loves to follow, so let's follow.Anyway, Zhou Qi didn't talk much, so Jin Ke wouldn't have much influence if he insisted on following.Moreover, it is also beneficial for Zhou Qi to follow Jin Ke. After following his master for a long time, he will definitely be more loyal.

The reason why Ying Zheng didn't stop Zhou Qi from frequently entering the palace was precisely this idea.The reason why Ying Zheng insisted on finding such a person for Jin Ke was really for Jin Ke's consideration.According to Jin Ke, Ying Zheng must not be immortal.And looking at Jin Ke's appearance, Ying Zheng always felt that he would not live long.Then it is necessary to arrange a retreat for Jin Ke.

Originally Yingzheng thought that if Fusu became emperor in the future, according to the relationship between Fusu and Jin Ke, at least Jin Ke could spend his life safely in Xianyang Palace.But Jin Ke also said that it was Hu Hai who finally ascended to the throne, and it was Hu Hai who killed Fusu.In this way, Ying Zheng can't guarantee that Hu Hai will treat Jin Ke well because of his mentor-student relationship with Jin Ke.After all, Hu Hai could even kill his brother Fusu who was so close to him.

It has to be said that Ying Zheng put Jin Ke on top of his heart and doted on him.Ying Zheng even thought about Jin Ke's future after his death.

......

For the first time, Daqin changed the "enfeoffment system" and implemented the "county system".In a way, this is definitely a big step forward.But every kind of reform and progress will always cause some people's dissatisfaction.Because in the process of reform, it is impossible to safeguard the interests of all.

Chun Yuyue is a strange person.This Ph.D. from Qidi was very opposed to the "prefecture and county system" implemented by Daqin, and demanded that his children be entrusted according to the ancient system.

Who is Ying Zheng?After Yingzheng became the emperor, the most important move was to unify the ideological, cultural, political and economic aspects.The unification of characters, unification of weights and measures, and unification of coins required by Yingzheng is the unification of economy.The implementation of the "prefecture and county system" is to strengthen the centralization system. To put it bluntly, it is to strengthen one's own power as the emperor.This is basically done.

But now a person suddenly appeared saying that he opposed the "county system" and wanted to restore the "feudal system".What would Ying Zheng think?This is not just a political issue, the most important thing is the lack of unity of thought.

Ying Zheng also knew that the reason why the Great Qin was able to rule the world was basically by force.But if you really want to defend this country well, you can't just rely on force.But the Six Kingdoms have a long history after all, how can the influence left behind be eliminated all at once?

Therefore, the appearance of Chunyu Yue gave Yingzheng a big problem: should he formally think about it, or just suppress it blindly?

There are very few people who can speak in the court of Daqin.And among these people who can talk, most of them are representatives of Legalism, such as Li Si, Zhao Gao and others.

So when Yingzheng asked the courtiers for their opinions in the court hall, Li Si, as the prime minister, stepped forward and replied first: "Return to your majesty, the ministers think that if a foolish scholar enters, he will have a wrong heart, and if he goes out, he will discuss in the street. Lead a group of people to spread slander. In order to rectify our country, we should destroy all the biographies of our country except "Qin Ji", and support legalist thinking, and prohibit private learning!"

Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers expressionlessly, and then asked, "What do you think of the Prime Minister's proposal?"

Zhao Gao stood up and supported Li Si: "Your Majesty, I think the Prime Minister is right! Those Confucian scholars are doing nothing all day long. They only find small things to shake the foundation of our Great Qin State. They really have sinister intentions!"

The two people most valued by Ying Zheng in the court said such things, and the others naturally nodded in agreement.

At this moment, young master Fusu suddenly stood up.

"Father, I personally think that the prime minister's thinking is wrong!" Fu Su said.

An objection came, and this person was his own son. Ying Zheng looked at Fusu patiently and said, "Fusu, tell me what you think?"

Fu Su said: "I think that Dr. Chun Yuyue just put forward a suggestion, and did not intend to shake the foundation of the Great Qin State. If you want to destroy the classics for this reason, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of the students all over the world!"

"Mr. Fusu's words are a bit serious!" Li Si retorted, "All the students in the world are now from my Daqin, so naturally they should study my Daqin's thought books. People like this who believe in other ideologies, It is really not worthy of the name of my Daqin student!"

"This..." Fusu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng.

"That's enough! Stop arguing!" Ying Zheng said, "Let me think about this matter and discuss it later!"

"promise!"

......

"Looking at the wrinkled face, it's like a bitter melon!" Jin Ke joked looking at Ying Zheng who was frowning.

"You always make fun of me!" Ying Zheng was amused by Jin Ke's words, "By the way, what is this bitter gourd? Is it something from your time?"

"Eh..." Jin Ke was a little speechless, "It turns out that there is no bitter gourd at this time! I thought it was because you didn't like it, so there is no bitter gourd in Xianyang Palace!"

"I haven't heard of this kind of thing, so there must be no such thing!" Ying Zheng said, "Do you like it?"

"..." Jin Ke thought of the taste of cold bitter gourd in summer, and seemed to have recollected the indescribable taste, and his whole face was distorted, "Who wants to like that kind of thing? Is it bitter? !"

"So you don't like to eat?" Ying Zheng said, "I thought you wanted to eat it? Then why do you say that I look like bitter melon?" Doesn't it mean that you miss me?

"I'm wondering what's bothering Your Majesty. His face is so ugly." Jin Ke said.

"It's not about that Chunyu Yue, I'm so mad!" Ying Zheng said.

"Chunyu Yue?" Jin Ke asked, "Who is this person?"

"You don't know?" Ying Zheng also didn't understand, "That doctor who threatened to make me change the current system!"

"I still don't know each other! Then what are you worried about?" In Jin Ke's mind, Ying Zheng was someone who would kill someone if he disagreed.How did he become so popular? That person is still alive?

Ying Zheng said: "He opposes my rule, how can I not be angry? At the beginning, I wanted to kill this person directly like the prime minister said, and then destroyed all the unorthodox books! But Fusu's What I said made me feel quite reasonable.”

"So you're caught in a dilemma now?" Jin Ke asked calmly, but his heart was already boiling: I didn't expect that the burning of books and burying Confucianism would happen so casually?what do i do nowReally watching Ying Zheng make a big mistake?

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's true!"

Jin Ke looked at the embarrassed Ying Zheng, and thought: Ying Zheng is really not a bloodthirsty person.Otherwise, with Ying Zheng's violent temper, Chunyu Yue would have been killed long ago, and he wouldn't be in a dilemma by burning books and burying scholars.So what is the reason that Yingzheng carried out burning books and burying scholars?

Jin Ke firmly grabbed Ying Zheng's hand and said, "Ying Zheng, no matter what, promise me not to kill people indiscriminately, okay?" Even if you can't completely wash away your stains, don't commit too many murders, okay? ?Reincarnation of cause and effect, even if you are a generation of emperors, you cannot escape.

As if feeling Jin Ke's nervousness, Ying Zheng gently stroked Jin Ke's hand to show comfort: "I won't kill people randomly! Do you know what I will do in the future? Tell me, what the hell is going on?" What have you done?"

"..." Jin Ke remained silent.

"Are you afraid that what you say will affect my decision?" Ying Zheng said, "I have already decided, according to Li Si's words, to burn all the books that are not my Daqin orthodoxy! Now you can tell me what you learned from me. What have you done?"

"First, burning books——and then killing Confucian scholars—!" Jin Ke closed his eyes after finishing speaking.After all, Ying Zheng still made the same decision, and Jin Ke couldn't change anything at all.

"Kill Confucian scholars? I have no such plan!" Ying Zheng said, "Jin Ke, don't be afraid!"

"I'm not afraid!" Jin Ke's face was calm, without a trace of fear at all, "First you burned the books, and then the Confucian scholars were dissatisfied. In the next year, you will arrest more than 460 people in Xianyang City—by killing them."

"Why do you remember so clearly?" Ying Zheng asked.According to Jin Ke's mind, it's normal to have some impressions about certain things, but remembering this thing so clearly, I'm afraid it won't be a trivial matter.

Jin Ke took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "I think it is because of this incident that you will be as cruel as rumored by later generations. If you did not do this, future generations will not There are so many criticisms of you!" Jin Ke can be said to be brooding about this matter.

Ying Zheng hugged Jin Ke into his arms. It turned out that Jin Ke remembered so clearly because of himself and for himself.

"I promise you that I will never make the same mistake and kill those innocent people!" Ying Zheng almost swore these words to Jin Ke.

Jin Ke said: "As long as you don't kill people for no reason! If someone really committed a mistake, you don't have to forgive them for me! After all, you are the king of a country!"

"You know I won't!" Ying Zheng laughed suddenly.
