Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 43 The Conflict Between Qin Shihuang and Prince Fusu

"Burning books and burying Confucianism? I've never heard of it, and I'm afraid it's those pedantic Confucian people who can't see me ruling the country, can't see the Great Qin rule the country by law, and after they can't be reused, they shamelessly write books to blackmail."

Qin Shihuang said indifferently, obviously not caring about the Confucians.

An emperor who has shocked China through the ages.

Why be afraid of a group of scholars with empty words?
Lin Feng asked, "Emperor Shi, son Fusu, is the candidate for Qin Ershi in your mind?"

"Yes!"

Lin Feng asked again, "Why was Fusu still at the border and not in Xianyang until you died? Nor did he form his future imperial power team."

in ancient times.

Once an heir.

He is qualified to build his own team in advance. After becoming a prince, even in the imperial city, he can have his own private army.

Qin Shihuang asked in a deep voice, "You future generations, are you going to complain about helping Su?"

Lin Feng said, "One Fusu is virtuous, benevolent, and full of the world; the other Huhai is vicious and vicious, the king of subjugation; so in the eyes of later generations, if the son Fusu succeeded to the throne, maybe Daqin would not have died in the second generation! "

The reputation of Young Master Fusu is admirable and yearning in any dynasty.

The first emperor was tyrannical.

Help Su Renyi.

This pair of father and son formed two completely different extremes, and it was this stark contrast.

People always have a kind of association.

If the Second Emperor of Qin was Fusu, Daqin might not perish, and even Fusu could lead Daqin to create a prosperous age.

Qin Shihuang did not answer, but said, "Fu Su is the eldest son, and in the second generation, only he is capable. In my world, only he is capable."

There was a kind of resentment in the words.

In other words, it is the resentment of hating iron but not steel.

What do you mean?
The first emperor was very dissatisfied with the son Fusu?
Could it be that the first emperor was jealous of Fusu's reputation as a virtuous person?Worried about getting ahead of yourself?
Facing such an eternal emperor, Lin Feng said, "Emperor Shi, your father and son, is it because of the disagreement of the idea of ​​governing the country?"

"I want to implement the rule of law and manage the country with officials, but Fusu is obsessed with Confucianism and cannot extricate himself."

"I'm about to transfer him to the border to work with Meng Tian and try to change his philosophy."

"If Confucianism comes to power, Great Qin will be destroyed sooner."

……

As the first emperor was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he sent an order, "Xuan help Su enter the palace!"

what?
Fusu is outside the hall?

On second thought, this is normal!Such a big thing happened tonight, a large number of warlocks were executed, Li Si was imprisoned, Zhao Gao was thrown into a tiger and leopard cage...

With Fusu's heart, he must be pleading for Li Si.

Soon, the son Fusu, who was called "the son is unparalleled in the world, and the people on Moshang are like jade" by later generations, entered the hall.

"This is more handsome than me..." Lin Feng muttered instinctively.

modern.

The audience who watched the program heard the voice of the host, and immediately burst into laughter.

Of course, it was more of a surprise, because Fusu's appearance was at the heaven-defying level.

So handsome.

Extraordinary appearance.

I saw that he was well-defined, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and there was a kind of gentle elegance in his demeanor.

That was Pan An in front of him, probably a scumbag.

No wonder Fusu's reputation shook Daqin, who would want to smear this honor alone?

"Fusu, pay homage to Father Emperor."

Fu Su saluted and opened his mouth, looking at Lin Feng from time to time, because Lin Feng's clothes and hairstyle seemed out of tune with this era.

"Fusu, this is Lin Feng, who came from a modern person more than 2000 years later." Qin Shihuang said.

After a brief greeting.

Fusu began to explain his intentions, interceded for Li Si, and then defended some warlocks who had grievances, hoping that the court could find out the truth and not accumulate innocent people.

Qin Shihuang didn't answer, but his expression was still displeased.

The emperor decides.

Are you just questioning here?
Later, Fusu talked about some state affairs. Obviously, his ideas were incompatible with Qin Shihuang.

The atmosphere was once awkward.

Fusu had no choice but to look at Lin Feng with a tangled expression, and said, "Fusu has a question, I don't know if I should ask it?"

"Sir, please speak."

Lin Feng looked at each other curiously.

"As a posterity, may I ask whether Daqin needs to be reformed, should it stick to the legalist idea, or follow the Confucian path?"

The voice just fell.

Qin Shihuang's expression changed drastically. It can be said that Longyan was furious, and the wine bottle hit the ground, and the loud sound scared Fusu to his knees.

"Father, please calm down. This is Fusu's confusion. I hope that future generations can enlighten me."

"I'm still alive, I'm not dead yet, Daqin is still up to me, you bastard, can you ask these questions?"

Qin Shihuang's voice was like a bell, which made others' ears numb.

The issue of Fusu involves the decision of the supreme ruler, which will indeed make Qin Shihuang furious.

However, the family is still father and son.

Even if the ideas are different, there is no need to go to war like this, right?
Qin Shihuang was furious.

Fusu trembled.

Looking at the picture in the camera, the modern audience also began to sympathize with this handsome young man.

"Do you feel that young master Fusu is very pitiful?"

"That's right, it's sad and deplorable that he was framed by treacherous officials and died without being liked by the first emperor in his whole life, without showing his talents."

"This father and son have very different personalities."

"Great Qin is a powerful reform that swept across the six countries. Legalism is the foundation of Great Qin. There is no doubt about it."

"Fusu has a docile personality and prefers Confucianism. In the eyes of the first emperor, it has gone against his will."

"I'm afraid that the father and son often have conflicts and quarrels in normal times."

"Hey, Fusu is also in an unbearable situation, and he actually said reform, can it make the first emperor not angry?"

"It is not appropriate to use Confucian ideas in the early stage of military strategists to build a country and Legalists to guard their careers."

"Host, just help Su!"

"Just relying on Fusu's humble gentleman who confers gods like jade, it is worth helping."

……

Live screen.

Qin Shihuang, who was standing on a high place, was still in the posture of Longyan's fury, and he hated the iron but reprimanded him:
"Change what? Are we going to believe in Confucianism? It's really stupid!"

More and more angry.

If he had a sword in his hand, he would probably be able to chop Fusu.

Fusu didn't dare to speak, but just knelt on the ground, very dissatisfied in his heart.

The scene was awkward again, Lin Feng took a step forward and said, "My lord, are you going to be an emperor in the future? Or a courtier?"

what?
Young Master Fusu trembled, his expression was horrified and he was speechless.

The First Emperor was right in front of him, and Fusu couldn't dare to answer such rebellious words.

The emperor was furious.

I'm afraid that even his own son will be killed!
Lin Feng was not afraid, he did not belong to this era, and said again, "Young master, in fact, the first emperor's wish all along is to train you to be a qualified emperor, but what about you? It seems that you only want to be a courtier!"

Shi Huang put his hands on his back, indifferent and speechless.

not talking.

It means that Lin Feng is allowed to continue talking, and Fusu is also allowed to speak.

Fusu was excited and said:

"My wish to help Su is to be like my father, to be an emperor who can bring a good life to the people."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shihuang finally showed a little bit of approval on his face.

Although he pursued longevity, after Xu Fu was imprisoned, he knew that it was impossible for him to live forever.

The future of Daqin will eventually be handed over to the descendants.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "If you want to be the emperor, why ask me?"

Fusu looked troubled, and said, "However, the Legalists governing the country and the Confucianism governing the country have always been problems in Fusu's mind."

This is where he contradicts Qin Shihuang.

Lin Feng said, "As an emperor, one should have the domineering power of the Son of Heaven. He should override all schools of thought, control other theories, and make them a sharp weapon for governing the country and the people."

"You only think about benevolence and love. It is suitable to be a courtier. If you are an emperor, you will only become a puppet."

"Great Qin is powerful with military strategists and legalists, but with Confucianism alone, do you think it can manage the land of China and Kyushu well?"

"Baiyue told you about benevolence? The Xiongnu told you about benevolence? Xirong told you about benevolence? And those remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are about to move will also tell you about benevolence?"

Lin Feng's expression was serious, and Qin Shihuang and Fusu were stunned. What he said was really wonderful, and it hit the nail on the head.

Fusu felt like a blow to the head, his pupils constricted, like a thunderclap striking his heart.

Qin Shihuang said:

"Fusu, your thinking has been brainwashed by Confucianism. If you become an emperor, sooner or later you will be controlled by Confucianism."

"Remember, the emperor is above anyone, above any school of thought."
