Many times.
The so-called law of governing a country often did not have true right and wrong.
For example, the Confucianists ruled the country with benevolence.
Could it be wrong?
He couldn't.
Thus, the First Emperor would also open up the way for the Confucians to participate in politics.
The purpose.
It was to find a way to govern the country that suited Great Qin's situation.
This was the root of everything.
Great Qin was currently facing internal and external problems.
It was obvious.
The Confucianists 'benevolent rule was not reliable.
Zhao Qi revealed an innocent smile and said,""Grandfather…I don't think it's wrong to rule the country by law, but I don't think we can follow Shang Yang's reform.”
"Oh?" asked the First Emperor. What do you mean?"
Zhao Qi came down from the First Emperor's arms.
He imitated the First Emperor's usual action of placing his hands behind his back.
He paced left and right.
"When Shang Yang reformed, it was still during the chaotic war between the seven countries. In order to increase the national strength faster, he fought with other countries!”
"Using heavy punishment, it is indeed very good to control the people and soldiers!”
"They're also implementing the system of military merit and knighthood!"
"This system pushed the fearlessness of Great Qin's soldiers to the peak!”
"This allowed Grandfather to unify the Six Nations!”
"But now, Great Qin has unified the world. Other than the Xiongnu and the Yue, no one has the ability to start a war!”
"Only the remnants of the anti-Qin and the old and young of the six dynasties are secretly adding fuel to the fire.”
"At this time, we should try our best to gather the hearts of the people!”
"The law should be strict and not chaotic. It should produce the dignity of the law!”
"Attaching importance to law and despising punishment might be a way out!”
Hearing Zhao Qi's words, the First Emperor was stunned.
Regardless of whether Zhao Qi's words were right or wrong.
Just the political foresight revealed in his words.
It was enough to make people exclaim.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Zhao Qi was just a five-year-old child!
What kind of talent was this?
More importantly…
The fact that he could say this proved that Zhao Qi had really read Li Kui's Law Scripture and thought about it in conjunction with the current situation of Great Qin.
This…
This shocked the First Emperor to the extreme.
However…
Here!
Although the First Emperor was shocked, he still felt that it was within his control.
After all.
The saying that law was more important than punishment was also widely circulated among the ministers.
There were also many ministers who advised him every day.
Zhao Qi followed the First Emperor every day and was influenced by him, so it was understandable.
"My good grandson!" The First Emperor asked. Now, the common people of the world have very simple thoughts and are easily influenced by the nobles of the six dynasties. Although I can implement heavy law and light punishment, it will still be criticized by others. Many people will ask, since we can heavy law and light punishment, why not light law and light punishment? There will always be people who will raise objections, and there will always be people who will jump out and question my decisions. This is the flaw in the thinking of the people of the world, and there is no solution!”
The First Emperor couldn't help but sigh.
This question.
He didn't know why he asked.
Because…
This was indeed the predicament that the First Emperor was currently in.
How could he make the people submit and respect the law?
There was no reverence.
If they were to rashly enforce the law and light punishment, there would still be countless people who would oppose it.
Great Qin unified the six countries.
What the First Emperor wanted the most was for the people of the six states to submit to him.
Whether it was the same text or the same carriage!
The emergence of these policies.
Their only goal was to make the six countries 'residents feel a sense of acknowledgement towards Great Qin.
But this was too difficult!
Of course, the First Emperor didn't want to get an answer from Zhao Qi.
After all.
This question.
The civil and military officials of the court couldn't solve it.
He couldn't find an effective way.
What about a five-year-old child?
..................................................
Zhao Qi didn't notice the expression on the First Emperor's face. He subconsciously said,"" Grandfather…I think that if we want the people to revere the law, it's not reliable to blindly use heavy punishment. After all, the heavy punishment has been implemented for so long, and there are still countless people who violate the law. As time passes, the conflict in the hearts of the people will not be eliminated. There's only one way to make the people revere the law!”
"Which way?" the First Emperor asked, puzzled.
Zhao Qi said," We will carry it out firmly. Lord Shang's words, if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished as a commoner!"”
What the hell!
Zhao Qi's words.
The First Emperor's eyes widened!
He looked at Zhao Qi in disbelief.
This sentence.
It was like a lamp that lit up the First Emperor's heart.
One had to know.
If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people!
This was suggested by Shang Yang!
It was to uphold the fairness, justice, and righteousness of the law!
However…
After Qin Shi Huang unified the country, he was called the emperor!
A Supreme Martial Artist!
No one dared to offend him!
At this moment.
Who would dare to bring up the topic of a prince breaking the law with the common people?
It could be said.
Ever since Ying Zheng became the King of Qin.
There was no such thing.
Not to mention the princes, even some ministers broke the law as long as they did not offend the First Emperor.
They would not be punished.
It was as if Great Qin's laws were set up to suppress the people.
That's right!
Why can't the law be supported by the people?
Wasn't it because…
Had the previous laws violated the principles of fairness, justice, and justice?
The First Emperor couldn't help but look at the naive Zhao Qi in shock.
Soon after.
He laughed heartily." Hahaha, you're indeed my good grandson. You woke me up with a single sentence!"!!!”
Huhai's face darkened.
He originally wanted to see the First Emperor.
Show off your talent.
In the end.
Not only did he not perform, but Zhao Qi had completely stolen the limelight.
He looked at the First Emperor and Zhao Qi.
They discussed with each other.
However, he could not say a word.
He was completely ignored like a fool.
She was on the verge of tears.
However…
Fortunately…
The First Emperor had not forgotten him.
The First Emperor turned to Huhai and said,"Huhai!”
Huhai quickly smiled and said,""Father, your son is here!"
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly,""Huhai, I had high hopes for you, but you have disappointed me. You are inferior to a five-year-old junior.”
Huhai was so embarrassed that he almost cried. He said,""Imperial Father, your son knows his mistake!"
The First Emperor said,"I'll punish you to copy the Law Scripture a hundred times. I hope you'll take care of yourself…You can leave now!"”
Huhai was frightened by the First Emperor's sharp gaze and retreated.
However, he hated Zhao Qi to the core.
He returned to his bedroom.
Huhai was enraged again.
He smashed everything he could see.
His heart was restless.
Fu Su!
Your son insulted me!
Your son harmed me!
