"What if they choose to resist and not submit?”
Li Si asked.
However, right after that, he wished he could give himself a slap!
This question was really too stupid.
The person in front of him wasn't like Fu Su, who could be brainwashed by the Confucians.
As expected, Ying Chen revealed a cold smile.
At this moment, even though Ying Chen did not answer Li Si's question, Li Si already understood Ying Chen's thoughts.
However, Ying Chen didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled and said,"The Hundred Schools of Philosophy is actually a knife, a knife that the king uses to rule the world!”
"Only the ruler can control the direction of the blade. There's no way the blade can control the ruler's will!”
"If there is, it can only prove that this saber can already be shattered!”
Even though Ying Chen was still smiling, Li Si felt his heart tremble for no reason. A chill ran down his spine to the back of his head!
"As expected of the crown prince whose bones are engraved with the bloodline of the Ying Qin Clan!”
Li Si sighed.
That iron-blooded and domineering will was carved into his bones.
Back then, the Yingqin Clan was able to go from being a small official who raised horses for the Zhou royal family to becoming the overlord of the western border. Then, from the overlord of the western border, they became the tiger and wolf Great Qin, and then they unified the world!
Amongst them, the Yingqin Clan had lost quite a number of Marquises on the battlefield, so it could be said that Great Qin had emerged from a sea of corpses!
Ying Chen's aura was released and then retracted. Soon after, Ying Chen spoke,"As such, I have always felt that Great Qin's rule over the world is too harsh and violent!”
"Even the old Qin people who have adapted for four hundred years might not be able to tolerate this, let alone the people of the six Shandong countries.”
Li Si could not help but think about it slowly when he heard Ying Chen's words. He then frowned.
As the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, Li Si's understanding of the world was perhaps even greater than Ying Zheng's.
Hence, Li Si agreed with Ying Chen's words.
After all, Old Qin's people had always been Great Qin's foundation.
In other words, as long as the old Qin people continued to support Great Qin, Great Qin would be invincible.
However, based on Li Si's understanding of the current situation, that was indeed the case!
Although Old Qin's rule was still stable because of Ying Zheng's existence, it was still not a bad thing.
However, in private, the old Qin people seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Great Qin's current rule.
This problem was much more serious than the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations.
Thinking of this, Li Si could not help but smile bitterly.""Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can see through everything!”
"Just as Your Highness said, even the old Qin people seem to be dissatisfied with Great Qin's current rule!”
Li Si could not help but sigh."I really don't know what went wrong with Great Qin.”
Facing Li Si's words, Ying Chen said something famous in the future,""In the past, we could immediately conquer the world, but now, how can we immediately rule the world!”
That sentence was like a bolt of lightning that struck Li Si's heart!
Li Si seemed to have understood everything!
Seeing this, Ying Chen continued,"The current Great Qin looks like a Kingdom, but in reality, it's more like a military camp!”
"The laws are strict, the management is rough, the decrees are like mountains, and people are killed at every turn!”
"This kind of rule can be tolerated by the common people during wartime, but in this era where peace is growing day by day, it can't be applied to the world.”
"The hearts of the people are like a bowstring. If you keep holding it tightly and can't relax, it will definitely break!”
"At that time, not only will the people of the six eastern countries hate Great Qin, but even the elders of Guanzhong and those old Qin people will also abandon Great Qin.”
Li Si felt as if someone had lit up a lamp in his spiritual altar.
For a moment, Li Si felt like he had seen through everything that he could not before under Ying Chen's guidance.
Don't think that just because Li Si was a Legalist, he was a stubborn old man!
In fact, Li Si's master was the Celestial Being expert of the scholarly faction, Xun Zi!
It was also because of this that Li Si was actually a top expert who cultivated both Confucianism and Legalism.
It was also because of this that Li Si could understand and accept Ying Chen's view of valuing the commoners. He did not treat the commoners like most nobles in this era.
Legalism was not that kind to the commoners.
This was due to the limitations of the era and the fact that Shang Yang, the great Legalist, had underestimated the power of the commoners. At the same time, he was extremely afraid of them.
On the other hand, Li Si was a little confused.""Your Highness, you should know that the Legalist sage Shang Jun once wrote the Book of Shang Jun. In it, he wrote the so-called five ways to control the people, namely, the weak, the tired, the humiliated, and the poor.”
Ying Chen nodded." Of course, I know about the Five Techniques of Controlling the People, but…"
"To the people, to the countrymen, I think that Lord Shang's Five Techniques of Controlling the People is wrong!”
Even Li Si was stunned!
This was the first time Li Si realized that the Crown Prince was much braver than the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su.
The Eldest Young Master had only been brainwashed by the Confucians!
And this Crown Prince simply said that Shang Jun had suppressed the people.
One had to know that Great Qin was founded on laws, and Ying Zheng was a believer of Legalism!
Ying Chen suddenly smiled when he saw Li Si's expression.""Minister Li, why are you looking at me like that?”
"The Legalism School, shouldn't they uphold the saying,'Heaven's changes are not to be feared, ancestors are not to be followed, and human words are not to be pitied?'”
"If you can't accept your own flaws and can't change them, is this still legalism?”
"Isn't the Legalism School famous for reforming the world step by step?”
At that moment, Li Si was enlightened!
At that moment, Li Si tidied his clothes and bowed to Ying Chen.""Your Highness, your words today are the true essence of Legalism.”
Hearing this, Ying Chen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed!
He was not the one who said that. It was Wang Anshi, the great reformist of the Northern Song Dynasty, who said it more than a thousand years later.
However, Wang Anshi was also a famous official who cultivated both Confucianism and Legalism like Li Si.
