Qilin Palace.
As for the last sect, everyone present had different opinions. Some talked about the Yin-Yang School, some talked about the miscellaneous school, and there were also many famous schools.
However, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, did not really want to include these schools into the Great Qin's Nine Schools. Although the Yin-Yang School was one of the more mainstream schools, its ideology was similar to that of Taoism. Great Qin already had a Daoist School, so they did not plan to give the Yin-Yang School a supporting role.
As for the miscellaneous schools, Lu Buwei had created them, claiming to be the best of the best. However, even though it was a decent school, it was just a hodgepodge of schools. In addition, the Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, had ill intentions towards Lu Buwei, so he did not intend to let it become one of the Nine Schools of Great Qin!!
There was also the famous school of thought, which was not one of the mainstream schools of thought. In addition, it was mostly a sophistry, which was not very useful for the future development of Great Qin. Therefore, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng did not think that it was qualified to become one of the nine schools of Great Qin!!
Just as everyone was feeling a little vexed about the last of the Great Qin Nine Schools, Xiao He said,""Your Majesty, I believe that novelists are the last of the so-called nine schools of thought in Great Qin.”
" Novelist?!"
"Novelists are just an unrated school, how can they become one of the nine schools of thought in Great Qin?!”
"They are just people who heard rumors; how can they become one of the mainstream sects of Great Qin?!”
.........
After Xiao He finished speaking, everyone present did not agree with him. After all, novelists had never been a mainstream school of thought. Most of them were rejected and looked down upon by mainstream schools. How could such a low-class guild become one of the mainstream guilds of Great Qin?!
Xiao He slowly said,""Indeed, the mainstream schools of thought generally look down on novelists. In the eyes of the public, novelists were just people who recorded folk gossip and hearsay.”
"However, novelists represent the customs of the commoners and are deeply rooted in the lower classes of society. They have an extremely important role in changing Great Qin's impression of the commoners.”
Indeed, even though novelists were not considered mainstream among the various schools of thought, it was undeniable that novelists were the most down-to-earth of the various schools of thought. Novelists were not as arrogant as most philosophers. They were closer to and understood the people at the bottom. And for a country, the people at the bottom were the foundation and the most indispensable!!
And now, the image of Great Qin, or rather, the image of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, was not very good in the hearts of the people at the bottom. This was due to the Qin State and the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, as well as the rumors spread by the remnants of the six dynasties.
At first, no one could react in time. They were limited by the novelist's own bad comments.
That's right, novelists were rooted in the lower classes of the people, so they were most suitable for Great Qin, which had just unified the six countries!!
One had to know that those who won the hearts of the people would win the world. This was never empty talk!!
Some people would definitely say, how did Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, win the hearts of the people?! In the eyes of most people, he was a tyrant. How could he win the hearts of the people?？!
But was that really the case?
No!
Even Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, who could unify the six states, seize the world, and become the ruler of the world, had the support of the people! At the very least, the old Qin people were loyal to the Great Qin Dynasty, and they were willing to give everything to the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng!!
Other than this, there was also the reason for the era.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had been in chaos for too long. The era had pushed for unification and the arrival of peace. After all, wasn't the general trend of the world that after a long time, it would unite and separate?!
If it wasn't because of the era and fate, why was it that only the former Qin royal family and the Ying clan had produced powerful rulers from generation to generation, while the other six countries had more fatuous rulers than wise rulers?!
The reason why Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was able to unify the world was not only because of his own ability, but also because of the great era!!
Well, I've gone too far. Turn back.
Everyone present was smart. After Xiao He finished speaking, everyone thought of the importance of novelists.
" Your Majesty," Li Si said," I also think that novelists are indeed qualified to be one of the nine mainstream schools of thought in the Great Qin Dynasty.”
Wei Liaozi replied,"That's right, Your Majesty. The commoners are the foundation of Great Qin. Novelists understood the people at the bottom the most and had the greatest influence on them. If they could be used by Great Qin, it would be extremely useful for His Majesty to have a better grasp of Great Qin.”
"Indeed." Your Majesty, to be honest, apart from the old Qin people, the people of the six dynasties did not have a good impression of Great Qin and Your Majesty. This would greatly affect the future of Great Qin. If he could change the commoners 'impression of Great Qin and His Majesty through the novels, it would be great.”
Chen Ping replied,"Although His Majesty is talented and bold, he doesn't care what those people say. He can still suppress those people. However, this was indeed a hidden danger within Great Qin. If His Majesty planned to go out to war in the future, some people might take advantage of the loophole.”
Who were these people?
It was obvious that they were the remnants of the Six Nations!
In history, Great Qin had indeed been exploited. Although it was because of Qin Shihuang and Ying Zheng, those remnants of the six dynasties had also done some dirty tricks!!
Moreover, was the story of the Ancestral Dragon's death and the Great Qin's second death all a ploy by the six vile countries to cause Great Qin to lose the hearts of the people?!
No one knew!
But, in any case, it couldn't be a prophecy, right?!
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, nodded in response. He wasn't stupid, so he understood the power of this novelist!!
Even though it was an unrated guild, it was incredibly useful, and it was an extremely good target for Great Qin.!
The one who won the hearts of the people won the world. Although Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, thought highly of himself and thought that as long as he was still alive, no one could make any waves?! However, he also understood that everyone had a day of birth, old age, illness, and death, and he was no exception.
Just because he could do things that he did not care about did not mean that Great Qin could ignore him, nor did it mean that his successor could do it!!
In history, the second generation of Great Qin had died not only because of Zhao Gao and the others, but also because of his own conceit!!
Because of his arrogance, they did not care about Great Qin's internal problems and chose to ignore them. Because of his arrogance, he did not send anyone to investigate the Yue army, causing hundreds of thousands of Great Qin soldiers to die in a foreign land. It was also because of his arrogance that he gave Zhao Gao and the others a chance!!
In this life, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who already knew too much, had calmed down quite a bit. He was still confident, but he was no longer conceited!!
As for Great Qin's internal problems, he would first resolve them before expanding outwards.!
He thought about a lot of things. Then, Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, said,""Yes, novelists are one of the nine mainstream schools of thought in Great Qin.”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone said in unison.
