Seeing Li Si step out, Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
He remembered clearly that Ying Che had said that Li Si's personal talk was coming up next.
Although Ying Zheng didn't understand what 'show talk' meant, it was undoubtedly a supplementary explanation that Li Si would shine in the future.
He couldn't help it.
Ying Zheng began to look forward to it.
"Speak!"
"Yes."
Li Si bowed.
"Chunyu Yue said before that everything must be 'imitated from the ancients', and he advocated using the Zhou Dynasty as a model. He also said that there would be no enfeoffment and that one day, the power of the court would be usurped by the ministers.”
"History is development."
"What is there to learn from the three ancient generations?”
"The times are different now, and the way of governance should be different.”
"These Confucian scholars don't think about how to compensate the court. Instead, they talk nonsense outside, using their own private studies as a basis to discuss court politics. When they enter the court, they say one thing and mean another, and after the court, they talk about it in the streets and alleys.”
"These doctors, they use slander to increase their reputation, they use innovation to show their wisdom, and they incite the people at the bottom to attack and slander the government decrees.”
"These Confucians are trying to disturb the people.”
"If we don't stop it, the public trust of His Majesty and the Imperial Court will inevitably decline, and the cliques of the officials will spread. As time passes, the people will regard the Imperial Court as a ferocious beast, and there will even be large-scale rebellions.”
"That is why I dare to suggest."
" Burn the books!!!"
"1. Except for the Qin Ji, medicine, divination, farmer classics, philosophers, and other historical books, all of them shall be handed over to the government for destruction within a time limit.”
"Those who do not hand it over after thirty days will be sentenced to tattooing and four years of hard labor.”
"Second, anyone who dares to discuss the 'Book of Songs' and 'Book of Books' will be executed. Those who dare to use the past to criticize the present, use the past to satirize the present, or use the past to belittle the present will be exterminated.”
"If an official sees it and doesn't report it, he will be punished as well!”
"Third, if there are people who are willing to learn the law, allow them to change families and learn the law.”
The moment Li Si's three strategies were out, the entire place fell silent.
Ying Che looked at Li Si's resolute face and shook his head.
Li Si.
In the end, you still couldn't hold it in.
However, you're very smart and really know how to cater to his preferences.
Right now, Shi Huang was in a fit of anger.
He had already endured the Bai clan to the extreme, and Chunyu Yue's attack on the court had revealed the estrangement between the Bai clan and the court.
That was all.
Qin Shi Huang would never let Bai clan off!
Moreover…
Even if Shi Huang let it go this time, the rift between the imperial court and the Hundred Schools had already formed. In the future, it would only grow bigger and bigger until Shi Huang could not tolerate it anymore.
You suggested burning the books.
It was only a matter of time before Qin Shi Huang adopted it.
Ying Che sighed in his heart.
He actually knew.
Under the current circumstances, burning the books was almost inevitable.
This was because Chunyu Yue and the others had a huge influence on the fishing boats of the common people. They might not be outstanding individually, but the combined influence of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy was too shocking.
It was impossible for Qin Shi Huang not to be afraid.
In order to eliminate the hidden danger, the first move of the First Emperor would definitely be earth-shattering.
He would completely trample Bai clan under his feet!
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
He also felt that Li Si's suggestion was in line with his thoughts.
Ying Zheng was very open-minded about the Hundred Schools of Thought.
If he could use them for himself, he would be happy to use the Bai clan disciples.
Even if the Bai clan was unwilling to work for Qin, as long as they didn't openly provoke Qin Zheng, he was willing to turn a blind eye. But now, Chunyu Yue and the other professors had already started to openly oppose the Imperial Court. This was challenging the will of the country.
He would never tolerate this!
Originally, Ying Zheng had some prejudice against the term 'burning books and burying scholars', and even disliked it from the bottom of his heart, thinking that it was a pejoling term.
But now, even if he had to bear some infamy, he was willing to burn books and bury scholars.
For the sake of Great Qin's political stability.
It was also to eliminate the poison of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy on the people's thoughts.
Burning the books was imperative!
Just as the First Emperor decided to adopt Li Si's suggestion, Ying Che's voice rang out again.
It seemed like the First Emperor was tempted.
Li Si's selfish motives were about to succeed.
Great Qin.
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
He did not notice Li Si's selfishness.
Furthermore, Li Si's suggestions were all for his own good and to stabilize the court and the world. He had no selfish motives at all.
Why did Ying Che say that?
As if he had heard Ying Zheng's inner thoughts, Ying Che started to explain.
Li Si, you still couldn't resist your greed for power.
That was true.
When you were a petty official in Chu State, you once lamented that you were treated like a rat in a warehouse.
Because this way, he could ensure that he did not have to worry about food and clothing.
Perhaps it was also at that time that you began to crave power, because power could always allow you to enjoy glory.
After that, you learned from Xun Zi the Art of Emperor, and then you joined Lu Buwei's sect, and you became famous with your letter of expulsion.
After that, he gradually became the Left Prime Minister of Great Qin.
but
Power was a double-edged sword.
It could drive people forward, but it could also make people lose their way.
Li Si.
In the end, you still fell.
Ying Che looked at Li Si with a complicated feeling.
Li Si was very capable and observant, but his desire for power was too strong, so much so that he completely lost himself in the end.
Not only had he made a series of mistakes, but he had also ruined Great Qin's reputation.
Li Si.
In the end, you still didn't live as a rat in a warehouse!
She begged for fresh flowers and evaluation votes.
Please.
The data was too tragic (crying).
