Chapter 28: The Debate of Voicelessness
Chapter 28 The debate between purity and turbidity, the officials were in an uproar [Please collect and read]
"You say that Confucian ideas can make up for the shortcomings of Legalism?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What does this mean?"
At this time, he had already realized the problem Zhao Hao said, but he still didn't trust Confucianism.
Zhao Hao seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and then said: "Father, it is natural to rule the country by law, but the law is ruthless, and people have feelings. The law can limit people's behavior, but it cannot limit people's thoughts. "
"Fear of the Dharma can only maintain a temporary appearance. Human nature is very complex. Most scars are healed and the pain is forgotten."
"To give you a simple example, my father must be aware of this, right?"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said angrily: "It's your fault, it doesn't matter what I do!"
"Well"
Zhao Hao grinned awkwardly, then looked around at the crowd and said: "King Gou Jian of Yue was defeated by King Fu Chai of Wu, and was trapped in prison. He was tortured and humiliated from time to time, and let him know the fate of the loser!"
"But no matter how much suffering Gou Jian suffered, he still endured the humiliation and finally defeated Fu Cha and regained everything he lost!"
"However, after Gou Jian successfully restored his country, he did not trust the ministers who helped him restore his country. Instead, he was ostracized one after another and even forced to death."
"Kings are like this, so why not the common people?"
"Today, our country, Qin, is frightening the people of the six countries with its cruel laws. Will the people of the six countries be resentful and rise up against Qin in the future?"
"How dare they?!"
When Wang Ben heard Zhao Hao's words, he immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "I, the Qin Dynasty, have millions of armors, why should I be afraid of a group of anti-people!"
"Does Marquis Tongwu mean to kill all the people of the Six Kingdoms if they want to rebel against Qin?"
"Whoever rebels will be killed!"
As soon as these words came out, a chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the hall, and everyone fell into silence.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, obviously agreeing with Wang Ben's remarks.
If you dare to rebel, he will kill you!
If a hundred rebel, kill a hundred; if a thousand rebel, kill a thousand; if ten thousand rebel, kill ten thousand.
But what's the point of killing all the people of the six countries and leaving only the people of Qin?
Even if he dominates the world, what use is he as an emperor?
Therefore, Zhao Hao’s question is very heartbreaking!
After looking at his son's eyes that clearly said 'Why are you so stupid?', Ying Zheng took another deep breath.
biological.
biological.
biological.
Ying Zheng kept explaining himself in his mind, and after a while he asked: "Then, how do you govern the people of the Six Kingdoms?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "Shang Jun's reform was to enrich the country and strengthen its army, and help Qin defeat the Six Kingdoms. Now that the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed, why do we, Qin, still use the cruel wartime methods?"
"My eldest brother once asked me to copy Qin's laws. The more I copied, the more frightened I became!"
"The most outrageous thing is that one kitchen knife can be used by several households. Is this reasonable?"
"Legalism advocates against class solidification and that everyone is equal. Is this equality?"
"Because I was worried that the people would rebel, I put away the kitchen knives. Isn't this because I was choking and giving up eating?"
"There is also an even more outrageous law of continuous sitting. If one person breaks the law, the whole family will suffer, and even the people within a mile will suffer. Is such a crazy law still suitable for today's Great Qin?"
"Others break the law, but I abide by the law. Just because others are in the same place as me? I will be punished. Is this reasonable?"
"If this continues, who will still abide by the law? If no one abides by the law, wouldn't there be chaos in the world?"
"absurd!"
Li Si scolded: "If the law is not strict, who will be afraid of it? Wouldn't it lead to chaos in the world?"
"Wartime is different from this time."
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, looked at Li Si and said, "Did Li Tingwei forget what I said before about fairness?"
"fair?"
"Just think about it, why are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms frequently causing chaos, and we, the Qin Dynasty, have repeatedly pursued and suppressed them, but they have been unable to eradicate them. Is it because our Qin law is not strict enough? No!"
"It's the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who can hijack the people and cause chaos!"
"But why can they coerce the people to cause chaos? Because the so-called fairness of Legalism is simply unreasonable!"
"The people of the Six Kingdoms have not yet adapted to the laws of our Great Qin. If our Great Qin forces them to abide by them, it will definitely breed dissatisfaction, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are taking advantage of this emotion!"
"The world calls me Da Qin, a tyrannical Qin, and the Qin government, a tyranny, all because Qin's laws are conservative and outdated!"
Hearing this, Zuo Tingwei Yao Jia stood up and said coldly: "Even if it is inappropriate, we Legalists can modify the code, why should we use Confucianism?"
"That's right, our country, the Qin Dynasty, has respected the rule of law for more than a hundred years, and all the officials in the Qin Dynasty have practiced Qin law. How can we use Confucianism to govern the country?"
"Gongzi Hao, aren't the lessons of the Six Kingdoms enough? Let Confucianism govern the country, and the country will not survive!"
"That's right, we firmly oppose Confucian governance!"
Yao Jia's words resonated with many veterans of the empire, and they all stood up to agree.
Li Si glanced at them, then at Yao Jia, his thoughts changed rapidly, and he quickly raised his hands to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to revise the code of law, follow the rule of law, and abandon the rule of Confucianism!"
"I second the proposal!"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, more than half of the empire's veterans, princes, and grandsons stood up and echoed.
It is obvious that they also strongly reject Confucianism.
Faced with this situation, all the Confucian doctors in the Doctor's Palace looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces.
But no one stood up to refute.
Because they all placed their hopes on Zhao Hao.
Although what Zhao Hao said was a bit unpleasant, he was indeed fighting for opportunities for them.
Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing about this.
I neither agree with Li Si nor Zhao Hao.
Because he knew that his son would definitely refute, so he just waited and waited.
Sure enough, when Zhao Hao saw Li Si and others proposing to Ying Zheng to revise the law, he immediately smiled and said: "If you can figure out the revision method, it won't be in vain for me to talk for so long, but Confucianism still has to use it!"
"My proposal to respect Confucianism is not to abandon Legalism, but to make up for the shortcomings of Legalism in governing the country and the people, so that the people of the world will completely surrender to our great Qin."
"As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"
"Good! He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"
Ying Zheng laughed loudly and applauded.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and saw him smiling and raising his hand to indicate for him to continue, and said solemnly: "More!"
"The Qin State is the Qin State of my father, the Qin State of the Qin people, not the Qin State of the Legalist family."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Zhao Hao paced back and forth, and every time he took a step, he said a sonorous sentence, which was deafening and enlightening.
"The water of a big river is clear, but the water of a big river is turbid."
"The river has nourished the people of several counties on both sides of the river, and the river has also nourished the people of several counties on both sides of the bank. Do we, the State of Qin, want to use the river because the water in the river is clear, and abandon the river because the water in the river is turbid?"
"Li Tingwei doesn't understand this truth and advises my father to only use the river instead of the river. How ridiculous is this?"
“Be aware that rivers will overflow, and rivers will overflow!”
"Everything in the world, everything and everything, nothing is eternal!"
"When the river overflows, our Qin State must control it. When the river overflows, our Qin State must also control it!"
"As long as it is useful to our Qin State, we, the Qin State, will use any company!"
"In the court of our Qin Kingdom, no one can imagine that one family is the dominant one!"
"boom!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Chaos, incomparable chaos, the situation is somewhat out of control.
Some people were so shocked that they stood still and were speechless.
Some people are enlightened and have enlightened thoughts.
Some people seemed to have their tail stepped on and were yelling wildly.
Zhao Hao's remarks were groundbreaking and disrupted the structure of the court.
It is an indisputable fact that the Legalists have monopolized the court for more than a hundred years.
Now listening to Zhao Hao's remarks, this is going to turn the world upside down and reset the world!
