"Your Majesty has arrived-"
A sharp voice resounded throughout the entire hall, followed by Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black dragon robe.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Wu Luo and Ba Qing's expressions changed as well. They hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Chen Beixuan did not move. Instead, he cupped his hands in greeting.
"No need for formalities."
"Why are you two here?"
Ying Zheng nodded at Chen Beixuan, then looked at Wuluo and Baqing in surprise.
"Your Majesty, I came here to…"
Wuluo and Baqing exchanged a glance, then explained to Ying Zheng in a simple and clear manner.
"Oh?"
"The map of the Western Regions given by the emperor's teacher? Show it to me."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Hiss…"
"Such an exquisite map can only be taken out by the emperor master.”
After reading the map, Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with a blazing light.
In Ying Zheng's eyes, this was not a map for ascending the mountain, but a map for marching the army.
With this map, he would be able to easily bring the various countries of the Western Regions into Great Qin's territory.
This was a great achievement that could be recorded in the annals of history and be admired by future generations. Even Ying Zheng could not resist such a temptation.
"Your Majesty!"
"You're still too narrow-minded; you have to think about the future. The various kingdoms of the Western Regions are like fish on a chopping board that can be eaten at any time. Right now, we can trade with them and further strengthen Great Qin's strength.”
"Right now, the main problem we have to face is how to strengthen Great Qin's foundation and get rid of the hidden dangers within the empire.”
Chen Beixuan knew what Ying Zheng was thinking, but the current Great Qin was not suitable for a western expedition. The most important thing was to solve the internal problems first.
"Imperial Teacher is right. It's this one's plan that is too small.”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and responded to Chen Beixuan like a student.
"Eh!"
Ba Qing and Wu Luo widened their eyes in disbelief.
Who was Ying Zheng?
A peerless emperor who had appeared out of nowhere!
He ascended the throne at the age of twenty, then destroyed Lu Buwei, killed Lao Ai, and held the military power of Great Qin.
After that, he used Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Li Xin, Li Si, Feng Quji, and other civil and military officials. In ten years, he destroyed the six countries in the east of the country and unified the world.
Chen Beixuan said that such a talented emperor was too small.
How ridiculous was this!
However, Ying Zheng was not angry at all. Instead, he acted as if it was a matter of course. Moreover, he had always regarded himself as a disciple. What kind of concept was this?
This meant that Chen Beixuan was the core of the First Emperor's heart.
"Alright."
"From now on, just continue to work hard according to what I told you before. You can leave.”
What happened next was not something the two of them could know. It was better for them to leave early.
"Here."
Wu Luo and Ba Qing didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly bowed and left.
Their status determined that they were not qualified to participate.
Sometimes, knowing too much would not bring them any benefits, but would instead bring them death.
……
……
"Imperial Teacher."
" Recently, there have been some rumors on the streets of Xianyang saying that they want to abolish the prefecture and county system and restore the enfeoffment system of Wuzhou. There was a fierce dispute in the court today because of this…"
"I wonder what Imperial Teacher thinks about this matter?”
Ying Zheng found a place to sit down and began to tell Chen Beixuan.
"The enfeoffment system and the prefecture and county system are both policies, and policies need to be changed according to the situation. This venerable self has said before that Great Qin's foundation is the prefecture and county system.”
"However, the enfeoffment system isn't completely useless. At least it can stabilize the hearts of the remnants of the six dynasties.”
As he spoke.
Chen Beixuan flicked his sleeve and a map appeared in the air.
" Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the planet we're on, and this is Great Qin's world. On the other side of the ocean, there are many Kingdoms, and their territories are not inferior to Great Qin's…"
"This is the Peacock Dynasty, this is the Macedon Kingdom, this is…"
Chen Beixuan drew a simple map of the world with his Spiritual Qi and began to instill the idea of the whole world into Ying Zheng.
" The world is much bigger than what Your Majesty knows, and these places will all become Great Qin's territory in the future. However, these territories are quite far from the Central Plains, and if you want to manage them, you'll have to give them to the vassals…"
"Imperial Teacher, do you mean to say that the Central Plains will still adopt the prefecture and county system, and those remote places can be given to the remnants of the six dynasties to suppress the world for me?”
Ying Zheng was worthy of being called the greatest emperor in history. He quickly received Chen Beixuan's knowledge of the world and understood his thoughts.
"Why must the remnants of the Six Nations benefit? His Majesty's son is also fine."
Chen Beixuan smiled.
"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.”
Ying Zheng smiled, a smile that he had never felt before. The problems that had troubled him in the past were all solved at this moment.
"Imperial Teacher, Li Si suggested that I collect all the books in the world and burn them to cut off the inheritance of the Hundred Schools of Thought and unify the thoughts of the remaining people of the six countries. Do you think this plan is feasible?”
"Burning all the books in the world, isn't this too ruthless?”
Chen Beixuan was surprised, but he was not too surprised.
There were records of Qin Shihuang burning books and burying scholars in the future!
Without a doubt.
The so-called 'entrapment of Confucians', because of Xu Fu's case, caused more than 400 Confucianists to report each other. In the end, it was recorded in later generations as' entrapment of Confucians', used to prove that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant.
This was simply nonsense!
If an emperor really wanted to cheat Confucians, why would he not just have 400 people? Even if he had 40,000 people, why not?
These Confucian scholars were involved in Xu Fu's case and were accused of murdering the Emperor. They deserved to die.
The burning of books was a follow-up problem that was caused by the Confucians. Li Si wanted to unify his thinking and take action against the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, but this idea was a little too extreme.
In the real history, Ying Zheng did not burn all the books in his collection. He only burned the useless books on witchcraft, while the rest of the books were stored in the Sutra Depository, not allowing the people to use them.
So...
The so-called Qin Shihuang burning books and burying Confucian scholars was simply an illegitimate person. It was just a smear of water deliberately poured on Qin Shihuang by the Confucians in order to make clear the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty!"
" I think Li Si's suggestion is too extreme, but it's not bad to use it against the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.”
"Please enlighten me, Imperial Teacher."
Hearing Chen Beixuan's words, Ying Zheng's face turned serious. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands in greeting, looking at Chen Beixuan with a burning gaze.
