Chapter 139. Fusu Asks for Help 139
"The Master said: To govern a country with a thousand chariots, one should be respectful and trustworthy, be frugal and loving, and employ the people in accordance with the seasons." Fusu thought of what the Master had said before, "The Master said: To govern a country with a strong army, one should be respectful and prudent in government affairs, be trustworthy, be frugal and loving, and employ the people in accordance with the seasons, and not delay the time for planting and harvesting."
Ying Zheng almost vomited blood, "Is this what you have gained in these days?"
Fusu, "Sir, Fusu knows that you have great faith in the great unification, but the people of our Great Qin..."
"Fusu," Ying Zheng interrupted him angrily. He thought he had made some progress, but he was still stubborn. "You have also read the history books of later generations and the judgments about me in history. Do you still want to completely reject me?"
Fusu remained silent. He admitted that Your Excellency was a far-sighted monarch, but this also meant that the rivers would be stained with blood, which was not something a benevolent monarch would do.
"I'll ask you again, how did our ancestors of the Great Qin survive in the cracks? Don't these things make you reflect?"
Fusu quickly fell to the ground, and Ying Zheng walked in front of him. If this man was not his eldest son, he would have drawn his sword and let him get angry here.
“With seven kingdoms in a tug-of-war, have you ever thought about how the people who are forced into this situation survive?
Do you want a temporary chaos, or do you want a conflict that will last for generations?"
Fusu was speechless. He really just wanted to ask for help on how to govern the country, and he didn't want to argue with the adults.
But he didn't dare to refute the angry adult, nor did he have the courage to refute.
Ying Zheng picked up the article that Fusu had just translated...Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
This was after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, when the entire country fell into chaos. Five regimes emerged in the north, nine regimes in the south, plus the Northern Han in Taiyuan. This is the so-called Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
He had to put in a lot of effort and gather all the national strength of Qin to unify the seven kingdoms, but he was still criticized for his tyranny and the people were living in misery. So what is this?
"Don't you have any reflections when you rewrite it?"
Ying Zheng's voice was cold, and his tone was full of disappointment towards Fusu.
Fusu really felt wronged. If he hadn't reflected on it, why would he have asked such a question?
“Sir, Fusu has been reflecting that only by achieving great unification can the people avoid war and the political situation be less unstable.
It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to rule it. Fusu is really worried that our Great Qin will repeat the same mistakes. "
"What a blockhead," Ying Zheng shook his head, and decided in his heart that he would not let Fusu work in isolation and stop learning from those sour Confucian scholars. "People in later generations have sent good seeds, and now farmers have already started to cultivate them. If you have time, you can go and have a look and learn more.
Go to the people of Qian, take a look at their lives, and ask them about their expectations for the future.
Next time there is a war, you will follow General Wang and serve as the vanguard."
Ying Zheng felt that he should take ruthless measures and let Fusu understand the people's sentiments. Only by understanding what everyone needs and wants can changes be made.
Fusu just felt wronged. The adults had never spoken to him so harshly.
This forced him to interact with farmers, work in the fields and fight in battles, in an attempt to drive him out of the center of power.
Could it be that it was because I later wanted to divide the fiefdom that made the adults feel resentful towards me?
Watching Ying Zheng leave, Fusu stood there with a look of grievance on his face, supported by the eunuchs.
"What is the strategy for governing a country? Who can tell me?" Just as Fusu was looking for the answer, a strange screen appeared in front of him, "Daqin Fusu, are you looking for a strategy for governing a country?"
Looking at the seal characters above, Fusu didn't know why, but he touched it with his finger, and heard a cheerful voice, "The order has been accepted by Yuejie Flash Express, please wait for good news." "Yuejie Flash Express?" Fusu's eyes lit up. He had heard from the guards before that the people in the future called themselves Yuejie Flash Express. If she could explain it to him...
No, the other party’s remarks are very problematic, and the Analects has been changed beyond recognition.
If he was a little confused at first, he later realized that this was simply a malicious tampering.
However, he also knew the importance of the Lord to the Qin Dynasty to future generations, so he did not dare to delay and said to the eunuch, "Quick, inform the Lord, I have something important to report."
The eunuchs did not dare to delay, as they all knew that the eldest prince Fusu was the heir chosen by the King of Qin, and they dared not neglect anything.
When Ying Zheng heard the report from the eunuch, he held his breath and said to Meng Tian, "Fusu's temper needs to be adjusted. When these books are translated, let him stay with you."
He also wanted to teach step by step, but he had too many things to do. Not only did the laws need to be changed and agriculture needed to be developed, but technologies such as papermaking and printing were also top priorities.
These were just his daily affairs. The most important thing was that he wanted to unify the six kingdoms as soon as possible.
Meng Tian stood respectfully aside. The matter between the monarch and his son was not something that he, a subject, could discuss.
"Let's go and see what shocking things this Prince Fusu has to say."
Ying Zheng put down the letter. Although paper had been produced, it was still very rough and could not be used in government affairs.
When he returned to the side hall, he saw Fusu with an anxious look on his face. Seeing him coming, he ignored all etiquette and rushed up to grab his robe, "Sir, the cross-border flash escort has just appeared."
Ying Zheng looked at the side hall and waved his hand, and all the guards and eunuchs retreated.
Meng Tian also wanted to leave, but Ying Zheng kept him, "General Meng, stay and listen as well."
Many things had not been hidden from Meng Tian before, so there was no need to hide this from him. Moreover, the Meng family was a loyal and brave family, so he was confident that he could handle it.
"Tell me more about it."
Fusu told the story of what happened before. Not only Ying Zheng, but even Meng Tian was shocked. With such an opportunity, Fusu asked for a strategy for governing the country?
Meng Tian regretted very much why he stayed. He should have turned around and left quickly like the guards.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath. If he knew how to beat children, he would have slapped them long ago. What a rare opportunity. Wouldn't it be nice to have more good seeds and more books that would benefit the people?
The strategy of governing a country, the strategy of governing a country, has been passed down by several generations of monarchs of the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that he cannot teach Fusu?
Besides, the policy of governing the country changes according to current events, so there is no such thing as a fixed policy.
"Is there any way to contact the other party?" Ying Zheng wanted to make amends.
Fusu shook his head. "It appeared out of thin air and disappeared in an instant. I asked the eunuchs at the time, but they didn't see it. I was the only one who saw it."
Ying Zheng had a complicated expression after hearing this. How could such a godsend opportunity fall to Fusu?
He was already considering whether to train another successor, but now it seems that he has to continue observing.
"You will stay by my side from now on," Ying Zheng gave the order directly. Since the other party had contacted Fusu, he would definitely appear in front of Fusu, "and stay with me all the time."
