Xianyang.
Qilin Palace.
Court meeting.
Thump…Thump…
With the sound of a bronze drum, the civil and military officials leaped in.
Ying Zheng was wearing a black dragon robe and a crown of an emperor. Under the respectful gazes of the crowd, he sat on the seat that belonged to him alone.
Overlooking the common people.
"The court session begins. There's something to report!"
The seat that originally belonged to Zhao Gao had been taken by someone else.
"Your Majesty!"
"I have something to report."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Pushe Chunyu Yue, who had just come to court, stood out again.
Seeing that Chunyu Yue was jumping around again, the corners of many people's eyes twitched. Chunyu Yue had forgotten the pain after his scar healed.
"Speak."
Ying Zheng also narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
"Now that the world has stabilized, the people of the six countries have been estranged from Great Qin. The reason is that the Qin laws are no longer suitable and are not enough to maintain the world.”
"I think that we should let Yinshang and Wuzhou flourish and re-enfeoffment the nobles of the six countries. This way, we can win the hearts of the six countries and make them grateful to become His Majesty's right-hand men.”
Chun Yu Yue stood straight like a spear, his face was filled with a broad smile as he waved in the hall.
"Your Majesty."
"Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the abolition of the prefectures and counties. This subject believes that we should follow the will of the people and abolish the prefectures and counties to establish enfeoffment to ensure that the Great Qin Empire will not decline for eternity.”
Another official walked out, clearly supporting Chunyu Yue.
"Your Majesty! I agree."
"Your Majesty, please follow the example of the previous sages and enfeoffment the world!”
"I agree."
The group of students and old officials also stepped forward and agreed with Chunyu Yue's suggestion.
Obviously.
This wasn't a decision that Chunyu Yue made on impulse. He had already made preparations for it.
"Nonsense!"
"Chunyu Yue! I think you've forgotten the pain after the wound has healed. You actually dare to mention the world again. Do you want me to invite the emperor's teacher over and beat you up?”
Li Si was a firm supporter of Qin Fa, and he was also the one who benefited from Qin Fa. Naturally, he would not agree to Chunyu Yue's suggestion of enfeoffment.
In order to suppress Chunyu Yue and the others, Li Si even brought up the Emperor's Master, Chen Beixuan.
Firstly, he wanted to use the emperor teacher's aura to suppress Chunyu Yue, and secondly, he wanted to expose Chunyu Yue's scars.
After all, he was the only one who had been beaten unconscious in the Qilin Palace.
"Li Si!"
"You brat!"
Chunyu Yue was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Li Si had been beaten up by Chen Beixuan in the Qilin Palace and could only escape by fainting. It was a humiliation that he would never be able to erase.
Li Si was pleased with himself as he looked at the furious Chunyu Yue.
Ignoring the furious Chunyu Yue, Li Si cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng and said,"
"Your Majesty!"
"Ever since Xu Fu's case, many Confucian disciples have been killed. This has caused many Confucian scholars to feel resentment and secretly discuss His Majesty's cruelty.”
"Also,"
"The system of prefectures and counties is the foundation of Great Qin, but some people are always advocating the system of enfeoffment. These people are mostly the remnants of the Six Nations and are hiding among the Hundred Schools of Thought in an attempt to shake Great Qin.”
"And all of this is because the Hundred Schools of Philosophy have too many ideas and are unable to unify them.”
"Therefore,"
"I, Li Si, believe that Your Majesty should prohibit the scholars from discussing the politics of the court.”
"Collect the books of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the history books of the seven kingdoms, and the books of witchcraft, medicine, music, and various craftsmen. Burn them, and only leave behind the books of Great Qin.”
Killing people and killing their hearts!
Remove firewood from under the cauldron!
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the entire court gasped.
Li Si's suggestion was too ruthless!
He actually wanted to burn all the books in the world. How crazy was this!
"Ridiculous!"
"Li Si! This is treason!"
"Li Si, if you dare to burn all the books in the world, you will be a heinous sinner and will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.”
For a moment.
The civil and military officials were agitated.
This time, Li Si's suggestion had obviously affected most of the interests, and everyone started to scold Li Si.
As Great Qin's Left Minister and the representative of Legalism, Li Si had many people who had a stake in the Qin Faction backing him up.
Both sides had a fierce debate on the enfeoffment system and the prefecture and county system.
Both sides insisted on their own words!
However, Li Si was at a disadvantage this time because his suggestion had offended many people. Many neutral officials began to speak up for Chunyu Yue and the others.
Ying Zheng, on the other hand, frowned deeply and began to ponder over Li Si's words.
It had to be said.
Li Si's suggestion was not bad. The root of the problem was everyone's mindset.
As long as they could get rid of the world's collection of books and cut off the legacy of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, they would only be able to learn the books and culture of the Great Qin Dynasty. Then, the next generation would no longer have the people of the six dynasties, only the people of Great Qin.
While the advantages were obvious, the disadvantages were also very prominent.
Collecting books from all over the world and the Hundred Schools of Philosophers would be a complete fall out with the remnants of the Six Nations and the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. This might lead to the remnants of the Six Nations rising up in revolt.
Jie Shi.
It would be another fierce battle!
"A slight change in one hair will affect the whole body."
Many pros and cons instantly emerged in Ying Zheng's mind, and he had to consider them carefully.
As the ruler of a country, his every move was related to the lives of more than 20 million people.
If they were not careful, it could bring a huge disaster to the people!
"Your Majesty!"
"This lowly subject thinks that we can ask the emperor teacher for his opinion on this matter. Perhaps he will have a different opinion?”
Seeing that the situation in the court had gone out of control, Meng Yi, as the most important confidant of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, proposed a solution.
Meng Yi was the only person who knew Chen Beixuan's true identity. After seeing Chen Beixuan become the Emperor's Teacher, he had made great contributions to Great Qin one after another.
Meng Yi completely believed Chen Beixuan and believed that he was doing this for Great Qin.
Hearing Meng Yi's suggestion, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.
That's right!
How could he have forgotten about the Imperial Teacher?
His ideas had always been unconstrained, but they also contained philosophy, which left one with endless aftertaste.
Perhaps only the emperor's teacher could find the best solution to such a thorny problem.
"Stop arguing."
"Today's court meeting will end here. Regarding the abolition of the enfeoffment system and the prefecture system, we will make a decision after discussing it with the emperor teacher.”
Ying Zheng was also a decisive man. He immediately ordered the matter to be shelved and prepared to discuss it with Chen Beixuan.
"Your Majesty!"
" Chen Beixuan is just a kid with an unknown background. The enfeoffment system concerns millions of people. How can he talk about it?"”
