Chapter 328 A fake scholar

The reason why Xiao He said this is precisely because the words Lu Jia said before are almost the most taboo mistake in the Daqin, which still exists in all schools of thought.

Why do I say this? It is because the few short words Lu Jia said to Ying Gao before, especially the use of both civil and military affairs, and the combination of etiquette and law, is not just the representative thought of Confucianism.

There is no need to look deeper here. Just look at it literally, this sentence is not just a Confucian thing, but also a combination of civil and military affairs, or a combination of etiquette and law. If Confucius and Mencius were still alive, they would probably have to come here to point Lu Jia's nose and scold him.

In this era, the importance of teachers and inheritance is quite high. No matter what, if you choose the Legalists, just like Han Fei and Li Si, although the countries you support may be different, they will eventually have to apply Xunzi's theory to the governance of this country, and then silently wait for the success of this country.

For the Legalists, although Han Fei was dead, Li Si used the soil left by Shang Jun in the large group to make the Legalists dominate the soil of the Qin Dynasty.

Now, the era of Emperor Qin has gone far away, and the trend of lectures is also about to start. Among these hundreds of schools of thought, the most easily accepted by the leaders of Guizhou is undoubtedly Confucianism. Therefore, among the people who are active in the Qin Dynasty, the one who can attract the most people is Confucian scholars.

In the eyes of Shusun Tong and others, the spring of Confucianism is coming soon. Once some of the Confucian scholars or the disciples they teach now enter the Qin Dynasty, then the vastest of the Qianshou will vigorously promote Confucianism. At that time, all kinds of schools of thought will probably die one by one in the wheel of history.

But Lu Jia's thoughts are equivalent to a huge messing stick. He has the name of Confucianism. In fact, the things he said are not Confucian things, at least not all Confucian things.

Those Confucian scholars who truly have a passion for Confucianism all have the ultimate goal of forming a grand occasion like "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" on the ground of the Qin Dynasty. They feel that only if such a situation occurs can it be considered a true victory for Confucianism.

According to Lu Jia's words, let alone other things, the Legalists and Taoists are reflected in his words. You should know that the Legalists and Taoists are the main opponents of the Confucian school in this era.

This is how scholars are. They have the character of scholars. When the First Emperor burned books, they endured and hid and kept all the books of their own school, just to make their school usher in spring when this storm passed.

The bigger the storm, they want to carry forward their schools. It is completely understandable that Ying Gao’s mood. Ying Gao’s Great Qin also needs such people to emerge from all schools. He then gathers the talents of these schools into the court of the Great Qin, so that this era will definitely achieve a real controversy in his own hands.

Of course, Ying Gao also knew that it was not easy for him to find a balance between these schools, but he had already decided to do this.

And now the appearance of Lu Jia is amazing. Ying Gao did not know much about the history of the Han Dynasty before, but he knew that there was a person like Lu Jia, and in the later stage, it seemed that he had a fatal blow to Lu Zhi's tribe members.

It was such a person. The few short sentences he put forward now really surprised Ying Gao.

What is this? This is exactly the scene he imagined in his mind before. He just didn't dare to say it. Although this era is a variety of schools of thought and each has its own characteristics, many schools will not have any intersection with other schools in order to reflect their uniqueness. So at this time, Ying Gao knew their problem at a glance, which was too one-sided.

In this era of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao, people only believe in their teachers and what they have learned. As for whether this thing is right or not, they will not look at it dialectically, only know that what they have learned is right and what others are wrong. Even if someone sees this, no one will say it, so as not to touch the eyebrows and make all schools unhappy.

This Lu Jia, obviously, was a Confucian scholar, and had also dabbled in other schools of law, Taoism and other schools, and found that he had learned something. In these few short sentences, Ying Gao knew that he must have studied for several years, and then he came to the conclusion that he dared to say these things in front of Ying Gao. He was sure that Ying Gao had no bias towards any school at present. He just wanted to take advantage of this moment and say his ideas. The bet on it is probably his reputation among the hundreds of schools.

Now there are only three of them in the lobby. Xiao He, who is not a representative figure of the Legalists, can all sneer at Lu Jia's behavior. If these words are placed in the Qin Dynasty or are widely publicized in the world, then Ying Gao can imagine how strong the response will be, and he also knows that Lu Jia must have a clear idea in his heart.

Looking at Lu Jia, who was still looking at his face and his heart was still beating, Ying Gaoxin said that this person is not simple. Isn’t this the prototype of relativity? His thoughts are definitely more than one step ahead of the great scholars of this era.

Ying Gao had a feeling that if this person was so brave as he showed now, he might not be able to become Shang Jun of his era, but in the end, Ying Gao would not let him be the same as Shang Jun.

But now, looking at Xiao He who was indignant, Ying Gao did not make any moves. He wanted to see how this figure who dared to integrate things from various schools would respond to the accusations of the Left Prime Minister of the dynasty.

"I dared to ask, is the Left Prime Minister now accusing me of the Left Prime Minister of the Great Qin or the inheritance of various schools of thought?"

I saw that Lu Jia did not show any fear on his face because of Xiao He's accusations, and did not directly return to Xiao He's question, but asked this question.

"This... is of course my identity as the left prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. I am an official of the Great Qin Dynasty, not the descendant of any school!"

Seeing Lu Jia ask back, Xiao He paused for a moment, obviously realizing something, but when he glanced at Ying Gao who was sitting beside him, he could only say that.

Sure enough, just as Xiao He realized, after he finished speaking, Lu Jia's eyes seemed to shine a little, and then he shook his head and said, "Since the identity of the Left Prime Minister is only the Left Prime Minister of the Great Qin, the Left should agree with these statements. Although it is a heritage of Confucianism, and Confucianism does have a considerable role in the current Great Qin, it cannot be completely denied by other schools. If we put aside the other factors and only look at the new policy of our Great Qin, the Legalist, Taoism and other schools will be integrated into the new policy of our Great Qin. But I thought so, and I thought the Left Prime Minister would have the same idea as someone, but I didn't know..."

Speaking of this, Lu Jia sighed slightly, obviously he was quite disappointed with Xiao He's performance.

Ying Gao this time he knew why Xiao He could not gain the upper hand in the argument with Lu Jia. If this guy was placed in the future, he would be the best debater. Looking at this angle made Xiao He unable to refute it in front of Ying Gao. People were determined to say that he was for the new policy of the Qin Dynasty, so he integrated several schools together. As the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, of course you can't say anything.

"Don't say those useless things. If you say these few words in vain, no one can tell you. The left prime minister will naturally not show off his verbal skills with you, such as you. If you can combine what you said before and write about how to implement them gradually, I can see if you are a real person. If you only hear these few sentences from other places, don't blame the strictness of Qin's laws!"

Seeing Lu Jia lowered his head quickly under Ying Gao's power, Xiao Hexin said that this is really the emperor's use, why didn't this guy argue with the emperor?

"It's normal for you to have this school exam, but here..."

After Lu Jia finished speaking, he looked around and it was obvious that he was in prison, where scholars were staying, let alone that he was asked to write these things here.

"It's here! After I leave today, I will send someone to send bamboo slips and other items. When will you write down all your ideas, when will you be able to get out of this prison? As for whether you will be sent directly to the criminal platform to behead you after being out of prison, or to serve in the court of Daqin, it depends on your ability."

After leaving this sentence, Ying Gao waved his hand and walked out of the lobby with Xiao He Shishiran. Lu Jia was taken back to prison by a jailer with a look of disappointment, but this time he changed a single room. Compared with the others, the conditions were quite good. Obviously, he should consider what he would do here.

"Your Majesty, what Lu Jia said before, since he has a deep heart, why does the Youth treat him like this?"

Xiao He had long seen what Ying Gao was like. If the things Lu Jia said did not touch Ying Gao, Ying Gao would have killed this boasted guy long ago, so how could he waste time there?

"If this were not the case, how could we know how capable Lu Jia was? If he could only be a fantasy, even if he had a strange idea in his heart, once he was in the Qin Dynasty surrounded by powerful enemies, he would not be sure whether he could protect himself, let alone the new policy of turning his mind into my Qin Dynasty. Even if he was not afraid of being scolded by various schools of thought or death, we would not have much time to spend on him."

When Ying Gao said this, Xiao He naturally understood what he meant. Lu Jia was brought back from Dai County, because Xiao He understood that Ying Gao's move seemed to be a embarrassing Lu Jia. It was indeed very difficult to integrate his views with the current situation of the Qin Dynasty without any classics to refer to.

But one thing is that if he really made something that satisfy Ying Gao, Xiao He knew that in the future, among the three dukes and nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty, there would definitely be a place for this young Lu Jia.

After putting Lu Jia in prison, Ying Gao and Xiao He were not idle either. This time, Xiao He went to so many places, so he would definitely not be able to come back and fall down. Those places that Xiao He had not gone to would naturally not be without violations of Qin's laws. Therefore, Ying Gao had to let the people of the county know through other ways that the Qin Dynasty would never be ruthless towards those who violated these three new policies.

Today, the Great Qin Dynasty is heading east from the Inner Historian where Xianyang is located. Sanchuan County and Yingchuan County are almost controlled by Ying Gao's father-in-law Feng Jie. Feng Jie is very old and has a very good health. At this time, he was the position of the county magistrate of Yingchuan County, but Sanchuan has no county magistrate, so he has always been in charge of it. Needless to say, Xu Gong of Chen County, Wang Li of Jiujiang County, and Chen Ying of Kuaiji County.

Not long after Xiao He returned to Xianyang, they received letters written by Ying Gao and sent all the problems Xiao He found in several counties in the north and the killing of the people.

Ying Gao's requirement for them was very simple, that is, to investigate among the counties under their jurisdiction. Once there are people who violate the new policy and Qin laws, those with serious circumstances must be killed, just like Xiao He did. In two months, Ying Gao must give a report like Xiao He. Whoever was killed, and what reasons should be made to make Ying Gao know. If you encounter something that cannot be decided, you can send it back to Xianyang and let Ying Gao decide personally.

As soon as this information was sent out, almost the entire Qin Dynasty was shocked in just one or two months. Originally, when the new policy was issued, many people used the new policy to make money and exploit loopholes. Such behavior made the local people think it was normal and Xianyang would not care about it.

Now several months have passed, and many local tyrants have monopolized some things, and even some officials from the Qin Dynasty participated. At this moment, all counties and counties were personally led by the county magistrates to do the clearing of this matter, which suddenly made many people who had called the wind and rain before dumbfounded.
