Using the Marquis of Xianyang as an example?
Learn from the Marquis of Xianyang?
At this moment, Fu Su was very confused when he heard the First Emperor's words.
Although he knew that his father had never liked Confucianism, it was fine if Fu Su did not mention Confucianism in front of his father in the future. Why did he have to learn from the Marquis of Xianyang?
The First Emperor looked at Fu Su's puzzled expression and knew what his son was thinking. He said earnestly,""Learning from those pedantic scholars will only make you the same as those pedantic scholars.
However, the Marquis of Xianyang is different. If you can learn one or two of his skills, Father will be satisfied.”
The First Emperor's words could be said to be very thoughtful.
Even though he knew that his eldest son in name had been misled by the Confucian scholars, the First Emperor still hoped that Fu Su could abandon the study of the rotten scholar and learn some practical knowledge from Ying Zhan.
Of course, the First Emperor also knew that his real eldest son, Ying Zhan, was very talented. He had been wandering outside since he was young, so he knew the sufferings of the people and was down-to-earth.
Compared to Fu Su, the eldest son in name who grew up in the palace since he was young, he had suffered a lot and thus gained a true understanding of the world.
Fu Su would never be able to catch up to them no matter what.
Therefore, the First Emperor did not expect Fu Su to be like Yingzhan. He only hoped that Fu Su could learn 10 - 20% of it.
Even though the First Emperor had already made it clear that he wanted to make Yingzhan the successor of Great Qin.
However, Fu Su was also his son. Although the First Emperor was disappointed that Fu Su was useless, it was not that he did not love him.
As such, he hoped that his eldest son, Yingzhan, would be the successor of Great Qin, and his second son, Fusu, would be the Prime Minister's assistant.
Brothers working together to govern Great Qin better!
This was also a tradition of the various countries since ancient times.
Back then, King Huiwen of Qin, Ying Si, was the King of Qin. King Huiwen's younger brother, Ying Ji, was the Prime Minister.
The disease of winning is the disease of the heart.
Zhao Huiwen, King Zhao He of Zhao, was appointed king, and Zhao Sheng, Lord Pingyuan, the younger brother of Zhao Huiwen, was appointed prime minister.
King Anli of Wei was granted the title of king and appointed his younger brother Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, as prime minister.
It was even more so in the Chu Country. Most of the time, the elder brother was the king and the younger brother was the magistrate.
Even the First Emperor had the intention of using his younger brother Chang 'an Jun Chengjiao as prime minister.
He had originally planned to let Cheng Jiao attack Zhao and accumulate military merits so that he could replace Lord Chang Ping as Qin Minister in the future. However, he did not expect Cheng Jiao to rebel!
Even so, the First Emperor still believed that it was the most stable for an elder brother to be the ruler and a virtuous younger brother to be the prime minister!
Especially since Fu Su had always been kind and obedient, and his nature was not bad. If he could wash away his pedantic aura and learn a thing or two about winning battles, he could assist his brother in winning battles. The brothers would work together to govern Great Qin. In the First Emperor's eyes, this was a perfect situation.
From this, it could be seen that the First Emperor did not despise the poor and love the rich. After discovering a capable child, he despised a child who did not have the ability. He was a loving father.
From the perspective of an emperor, the First Emperor decided to make Yingzhan his successor.
From a father's point of view, the First Emperor loved his eldest son, Yingzhan, who had owed him for many years. He also loved Fusu and the other children.
Of course, judging from the current situation, the First Emperor's love for Yingzhan far exceeded that of other children…
Fatherly love was equal, but some fatherly love was even more equal…
Although Fu Su didn't know what the First Emperor was thinking, he still obeyed his father's instructions. With the encouragement of the First Emperor, he walked out of the street corner and came to the door of Yingzhan's shop.
"Fusu greets the Marquis of Xianyang."
Looking at Ying Zhan, who was about the same age as him, Fu Su felt a sense of familiarity for some reason.
Perhaps this was the feeling of blood connection in their bones. For example, in the later generations, there were many brothers and sisters who had been separated from each other since they were young. Even if they met many years later as strangers, they would feel inexplicably close to each other.
At this moment, Yingzhan also had a strange feeling, thus his heart was in a daze.
Following this, Ying Zhan shook his head and felt that it was probably because Fu Su, the eldest son of Great Qin, was approachable, which was why people felt close to him.
"Greetings, Young Master Fusu."
Ying Zhan returned the bow and did not take the initiative to speak. After all, he did not know the purpose of this Eldest Young Master's visit.
"Fusu was ordered by the Emperor to go to Yong City with his 18th brother, Huhai, to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple. He only returned to Xianyang today.
I heard that our Great Qin has produced a great talent like the Marquis of Xianyang, and I admire him, so I came to meet him.”
Fu Su did not put on the airs of a young master. He looked elegant and polite, as gentle as jade. Indeed, it was easy for people to feel a sense of affinity.
Ying Zhan finally understood why he didn't see this Eldest Young Master at the court meeting. It turned out that he had gone to worship the ancestors with Huhai.
"Young Master, you flatter me. Thanks to Your Majesty's favor, I was only granted the title of Marquis of Xianyang.”
The more Ying Zhan said this, the more confused Fu Su felt.
When he returned to Xianyang today, Chunyu Yue and the other Confucians came to complain to Fu Su.
From the descriptions of those Confucian scholars, Fu Su had thought that Ying Zhan was a vicious and eloquent person.
The Ying Zhan he saw now was very different from what the Confucians had described.
Therefore, Fu Su pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Ying Zhan,""What does the Marquis of Xianyang think of the scholarly faction?”
Ying Zhan's eyes narrowed. Fu Su's question made him think that this Eldest Young Master had heard the news of the Confucian scholars 'defeat and wanted to seek revenge for them.
But it didn't seem like it.
After eliminating this possibility, Ying Zhan looked at Fu Su, who had a good impression of him, and had some considerations in his heart.
From the looks of it, Fu Su's character was not bad. It was a pity that a good child had been led astray by the Confucian scholars.
If possible, Ying Zhan wanted to correct this Young Master of Great Qin, so he said,""Confucianism was founded by Confucius, and many of its ideas guide people towards good.
Many of the theories of the Confucians were quite reasonable.
However, the scholarly faction was more like a magnificent castle in the air. Although it looked magnificent, it was unrealistic and couldn't be grounded.
As a school of thought, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, if he wanted to use this to govern the world, it would be inappropriate.”
Ying Zhan looked at Fu Su and said meaningfully,""The experience of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period tells us that we should use both the kingly way and tyranny to govern the world. Learning Confucianism will not save the world…"
