"They originally abandoned Confucianism and turned to law, otherwise I would not have accepted them." Ying Zheng laughed, "After all, there are ancestral teachings, and I cannot go against them."
The ancestral precepts refer to the ban issued by King Xiaowen of Qin against Xunzi at that time. It was also because of this that all Confucian scholars in Qin disappeared.
"After the emperor unifies the country, how will he settle the Confucian and Mohist schools?" Seeing that Ying Zheng mentioned the ancestral precepts, Cai Ze asked another question.
After all, although these two families are not favored by the top ruling class, they have huge power among the people.
Each family has a large number of people, and it is difficult to move easily.
The Qin State was in turmoil, after all, the root was not limited to this one place, and there were other countries besides Qin for them to choose from.
But if the Qin State was unified, if it was truly unified, would it forgive them or kill them all?
If they were all killed, I'm afraid the newly unified world would not be very stable.
There are so many undercurrents in the small Qin State. If it really expands to the whole world, who can say for sure?
"Oh? Why does Prime Minister Cai ask this question?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "I don't like either Confucianism or Mohism very much, so I probably won't stay with them."
"Your Majesty, although these two families are unpopular, we cannot just destroy them." Cai Ze knew that this would be Ying Zheng's answer.
After all, he was young and frivolous, and still did what he wanted. Even though the Qin army was unparalleled, he still had to bow to the general trend.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the country, if all the people of the countries died suddenly, then what was the point of unification?
It was because they were afraid that the group of people would all die that they asked Wang He, Meng Ao and others to lead tens of thousands of Iron Eagle warriors to garrison there.
If it's just about the land, what difficulty would it be if Bai Qi went there alone?
"Has Prime Minister Cai read Han Fei's private writings? If not, you can take a look." Ying Zheng knew what Cai Ze was worried about, but did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject:
"I think there's a line in there that's particularly true. Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, while knights use force to disrupt order. Confucianism and Mohism have had little impact on my rule. If they're gone, then so be it. It's no big deal."
Seeing that Cai Ze seemed to have something to say, Ying Zheng directly blocked his words: "I know what Prime Minister Cai is worried about, but I have my own ideas, so there is no need to persuade me."
Cai Ze knew that Ying Zheng had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him. After all, it was just for the sake of future stability.
With the current power of the Qin State, as long as Ying Zheng does not fall, it is not impossible to go against the trend.
"Prime Minister Cai is tired, so go to sleep. I will handle the rest myself."
Cai Ze knew that Ying Zheng was probably tired, and some of it might be out of sympathy for him, but he didn't know to what extent.
But since Ying Zheng had ordered Cai Ze to leave, he naturally would not force him to stay. He bowed, apologized, and then left.
There was no one else in the entire bedroom except Cheng Jiao.
But Cheng Jiao has now become a so-called enlightened beast and has lost his intelligence. He can only stay in Ying Zheng's arms, which is equivalent to him being alone.
"Chen Xuan, are you really not going to give them a chance to live?"
Since Cai Ze mentioned it, Ying Zheng also remembered it and asked about it.
Although he had made up his mind not to give them any so-called way out, after all, one of them insulted his ancestors and the other assassinated his father. Both of them were not good people, and if they were gone, they were gone.
But he still had to ask Chen Xuan. After all, he had been with him the longest and had taught him a lot, so it would be better to ask.
"They are like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away."
Chen Xuan turned over. Although there were changes in all countries, Chen Xuan was not panicked at all. Instead, he felt more comfortable.
"You are the Son of Heaven, the ruler. You have the final say on what you want to use or what becomes mainstream, and naturally, people below you will cater to you.
As I said before, you are the Son of Heaven, and no one can influence your thoughts, not even me."
Ying Zheng laughed and pointed at Chen Xuan, saying, "Good for you, Chen Xuan. How often have you made decisions for me? Now you're being noble."
After laughing and scolding, Ying Zheng smiled and carried Cheng Jiao away, walked to the bed, and prepared to rest for a while.
As for government affairs, those things were not very important. Just now, it was just an excuse to drive Cai Ze away.
Chen Xuan looked at Ying Zheng who had returned to his bed, and he also knew how he dealt with the Confucian and Mohist schools.
Although I am more interested in the cultures passed down by these two families, neither of them is suitable for the current Qin State, nor will it be suitable for the future Qin Dynasty.
Now that the so-called extraordinary people have appeared, the whole of China has begun to change. In this world where spiritual energy is gradually becoming more abundant in the future, all systems will start anew.
With Chen Xuan around, Ying Zheng would at least be able to survive. Unless some so-called time traveler suddenly appeared in the future, soared to the sky, and single-handedly took on the entire Qin Dynasty.
Otherwise, Ying Zheng's position would probably become more and more stable.
But those are later stories and have nothing to do with Chen Xuan's current affairs. Now he also has to inquire about the fortunes of various countries.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
…
Chenggao was in a stalemate.
This stalemate is nothing more than Bai Qi's thoughts rising and testing the waters.
Bai Qi had never seen or heard of the weapons in Chenggao City.
This kind of weapon that directly attacks a person's fate was the first time Bai Qi had seen it.
I already knew that something unusual had happened in Chenggao this time, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of change.
It was getting late and the stalemate had lasted long enough, but the entire Chenggao did not show any signs of fatigue and continued to shoot with bows and crossbows.
