Since the Ancestral Dragon wanted to hear about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, Chen Ke also began to tell the story with the purpose of warning the Ancestral Dragon.
"Actually, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was not a coincidence.”
"I have also said before that although Your Majesty has strict laws in governing the country and does not allow anyone to violate the laws, many people are forced to take risks.”
"The reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted was a hundred years after you.”
When Chen Ke mentioned the 100 years after the Ancestral Dragon, the expression on the Ancestral Dragon's face became very colorful.
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon must have mixed feelings in his heart.
Thinking that all these things had happened after his death, and it had only been two or three years, he did not know what to say.
He could only calm down and listen.
"A hundred years later, the second emperor will definitely be beyond your expectations.”
He didn't say it clearly in the court.
"But now that His Majesty has already urged Zhao Gao, there's no need for me to hide it.”
"The second emperor is not Fusu. If it was Fusu, it would be better.”
Ancestral Dragon was shocked.
Wasn't the second emperor Fusu? Who was that?
Chen Ke continued," After a hundred years, you intend to let Fu Su come back immediately to preside over the funeral ceremony. This means that you want Fu Su to be the emperor."”
"But before this edict could be sent out, it was intercepted by Zhao Gao.”
"Zhao Gao tampered with the imperial edict and changed it to killing Fu Su and Meng Tian.”
"The reason is that Fu Su is unfilial and Meng Tian did not fulfill her responsibility of educating him.”
When Zu Long heard that his son, Fu Su, did not become the emperor, but his eighteenth son, Huhai, succeeded the throne, his face turned ashen.
It was indeed not appropriate to bring up this matter in the imperial court. After all, it involved the royal family's scandal.
Although he doted on his youngest son, Huhai, it was only doting.
This child was good at sweet-talking, and Fu Su was always opposing his policies. Every time, he would make some suggestions that made him very angry, so he gradually fell out of favor.
But that didn't mean he didn't have good eyesight.
He understood that Fu Su was more suitable to be the emperor, and his youngest son would stay by his side to chat with him. However, being the emperor was not a joke.
He still wanted to get angry, but Chen Ke had already stopped him.
"Your Majesty, after I came, I have changed this matter. Let's not care about who will be the emperor, Huhai or Fusu.”
"Let's talk about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.”
Ancestral Dragon nodded." Alright, alright…Then I'll listen to you first, State Preceptor."”
But he felt uncomfortable.
He kept thinking about how to deal with Huhai and Fu Su.
However, it was better to listen to the story now.
Chen Ke continued," The reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled was because 900 of them went to Yuyang to guard the border. On the way, they encountered heavy rain. The heavy rain caused a delay.”
"According to Great Qin's laws, those who were sent to the border to serve in the army for a prolonged period of time would be beheaded. Because of this, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said to their companions that since they would die regardless of whether they went or not, they might as well rebel and die.”
Originally, after the second emperor ascended the throne, the people of the world had been oppressed by Qin for a long time.
On top of the stricter laws of the second generation, it was even more difficult for the people of the world.
The people were already suppressing their anger.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang used this to incite everyone to rebel.
Although the two of them were defeated.
However, they had fiercely provoked those who wanted to rebel.
As a result, the world started to rise up against Great Qin's rule.
This gave Xiang Yu and Liu Bang the opportunity to overthrow the Great Qin Empire.
This was the course of history.
After hearing that, the Ancestral Dragon did not speak for a long time.
He was also reflecting in his heart.
If not for Great Qin's strict laws, these two people might have obediently gone to Yuyang to guard the border.
There wouldn't be so many messy things.
For a moment, he was filled with emotions.
However, he soon burst into laughter.
"Imperial Preceptor, you said that these two people were born as commoners. How can they say something like how a sparrow knows the ambition of a swan?”
When Chen Ke heard that Zu Long's perspective was so biased, he also laughed out loud.
Then he explained," It's probably because the historical records were written by officials of the Han Dynasty. Wasn't Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also born in the peasant army? He wanted to make Chen Sheng and Wu Guang sound more cultured so that they could add luster to his master.”
The explanation made the Ancestral Dragon laugh even more.
After the two of them laughed at each other for a while, the Ancestral Dragon became serious.
"It seems that zhen should indeed properly sort out the strategy of governing the country. In the middle of this, we still need Imperial Preceptor to properly assist zhen.”
"Naturally."
Of course, after Zu Long heard about the peasant uprising, he also felt that the people's hearts were really terrifying.
It seemed that Chen Ke's words were very reasonable.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Although he looked down on the commoners.
However, once the commoners gathered together, they would become a very powerful force.
"State Preceptor, do you support Confucianism or Legalism?"“
The Confucianists emphasized benevolence and propriety, while the Legalists emphasized severe punishment and laws. Ancestral Dragon wanted to try both of these ways of governing the country.
However, he still wanted to ask for Chen Ke's opinion.
Chen Ke shook his head." Your Majesty, what I support is the emergence of a hundred schools of thought. Once a theory becomes mainstream, it will inevitably lead to a monopoly.”
The Confucian's benevolence and propriety were very useful in pacifying the people.
However, once the people were at peace for a long time, they would become restless. This was a flaw in human nature.
Therefore, the Legalism School's severe punishment was needed to manage the defects of human nature.
"Therefore, my opinion is to rule the country according to law. With all schools of thought working together, Confucianism and Legalism can go hand in hand and complement each other.”
"At the same time, the opinions of the other families can also be adopted.”
"Being tolerant of all things is the demeanor that a great empire should have.”
At the same time, he said,"Actually, the Mo family's mechanism techniques are also very powerful."”
Hence, he talked about the Mo family's mechanism techniques, their application in making weapons and engineering.
Ancestral Dragon was greatly surprised when he heard this. He decided to look for the Mo family as well as Xiao He.
These people could be said to be talents in science and engineering. Legalism was more inclined to the theoretical knowledge of liberal arts.
Only when the liberal arts and science fields were on par with each other could a country be better governed…
