Chapter 893: History of Qin
***
Ice muscles and jade bones, cool and sweat-free. The wind in the water hall is full of dark fragrance. The embroidered curtain is open, a little bright moon peeps at people, people are not sleeping, and the pillow hairpin is chaotic.
Get up and carry your hands, the courtyard is silent, and you see the sparse stars crossing the river from time to time.
The veil in the hall was lightly flicked, and a piece of bright moonlight sprinkled onto Qin Mu from the Xuan window, his hair was not combed, he was lying on top of the jade, and his head was resting on Yang Zhi's legs.
On the red sandalwood stand next to it, a bottle of ambergris incense in a red stone smoker is lightly spitted, and light smoke curls.
"Lady, you've lost weight."
"Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, my father is him"
Seeing her mention this, Qin interrupted her and said, "I know that this incident has nothing to do with Guozhang, and I don't mean to blame Guozhang, don't worry." However, the ministers are taking sides too soon, which is indeed what I do not want to see. The death of the pre-Qin dynasty was actually due to the brothers' struggle for the throne.
When I returned from hunting Hetao, I sacrificed to Meng Tian, and I was thinking that if it weren't for the brothers' rivalry for the throne, if a general like Meng Tian would not have been unjustly killed. With these battle-hardened tiger generals, and hundreds of thousands of strong troops sweeping Liuhe, will the pre-Qin collapse lightly?
As soon as the ministers stood in line, the people's hearts were scattered, and all that remained was intrigue, squeezing out dissidents, and even plotting to kill the king. ”
"Majesty!" Yang Zhi didn't know what to say for a while, but Qin Mu's words made her jade fingers tremble slightly.
Qin Mu grabbed her hands, covered them in his palms, and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't think about it, lady, I don't mean anything else, I just want to take precautions." At the same time, I don't want them to get involved in this kind of struggle at such a young age. ”
Qin Mu made his eldest son Qin Ye the crown prince early in the morning, originally wanting to avoid such a secret fight as much as possible, although he also knew it. This may not be avoidable, but I didn't expect someone to pick it up so quickly.
"Your Majesty, it's all bad to blame the concubines."
"You, what's the matter with you?" Qin Mu cupped her emaciated cheeks, a little distressed, "Okay, lady, let's not talk about this, the moonlight is just right, let's go." I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden. ”
Qin Mu got up, took Yang Zhi's hand and walked out of the hall, and Mo Mo and Ruoruo, who were waiting in the hall, hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, queen, put on your robe first, the night breeze in the imperial garden is a little cold." ”
Mo Mo and Ruo Ruo each took a robe and came up to help Qin Mu and Yang Zhi put it on. Qin Mu said to them, "You don't have to follow, I and the queen will go by themselves." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The moonlight in the Imperial Garden is like water. Between the pavilions and pavilions, the clear pond is horizontal, the willows are blowing all night, and the palace lamps on the gallery exude a soft light. Qin Mu took Yang Zhi's hand, walked slowly, turned to the Jiuqu Bridge, and the night breeze blew on the pool. It's refreshing.
Between the rockery pavilions, summer insects are singing, making the night more peaceful and serene.
Yang Zhi felt the temperature coming from his palm. Her heart suddenly became much more steady, she swept the hair on her forehead, and said softly: "Your Majesty"
"It's called Husband."
"Hmm!" Yang Zhi couldn't help but lean her head on his shoulder, and a strong sense of happiness came to her heart.
Qin Mu took advantage of the situation and grabbed her shoulder and said, "What does the lady want to say?" ”
"Husband, just now you said that Xianqin died in the brotherhood for the throne, which made the concubine feel uneasy. Husband, the concubine has an idea, it is better to let the History Museum rebuild a "History of Qin", and truthfully record these things that died due to the brothers' struggle for the throne, so that they can take it as a warning. ”
"Well, that's a good idea, lady."
With Qin Mu's affirmation, Yang Zhi showed a gentle smile, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on her face, which was crystal clear.
"Besides, the husband inherited the legal system of the first emperor, and it is also beneficial for the husband to govern the world by revising a history of Qin to make the context of this inheritance clearer."
"Yes, yes, what the lady said, let the husband suddenly open, all the time, the husband feels that something is missing, after the lady's mention, it is not, what is missing is a "History of Qin", the lady really deserves to be my virtuous helper, it is really a word to wake up the dreamer!"
Qin Mu was happy and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Husband!" Yang Zhi hugged his waist tightly with both hands, feeling the feeling of two hearts being hot, a warm emotion that could not be spoken, but could only be understood, circulated between the two.
The next day, Qin Mu ordered the National History Museum to collect historical materials, and summoned Fu Qingzhu, Liu Zongzhou, and Huang Daozhou to the Huagai Palace, and asked them to be specifically responsible for the compilation of the "History of Qin".
Huang Daozhou respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the compilation of the History of the Ming Dynasty is only more than halfway, if the History of Qin is revised, I am afraid that the History Museum needs to increase the number of people." ”
In this era, it is a very noble thing to revise books, especially to revise history, to write the Spring and Autumn Period with pen and ink, to promote good and punish evil. Every reader treats it as sacred.
Since Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou, two people with a rigid handle, have been asked to repair history, it can be said that they have forgotten to sleep and eat, and they have plunged into the vast historical materials, which has made Qin Mu a good one, and his ears have been much cleaner
"How many people do you need, although you draw up a list of dignitaries in the ministry, I only have one request, whether it is "History of the Ming Dynasty" or "History of Qin", it must be objective and fair, and it cannot be mixed with too many personal opinions. In particular, in the part about the Qin Law, we must put aside the positions of Confucianism and Law and objectively analyze the pros and cons of the Qin Law. ”
Huang Daozhou immediately said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, the Qin law is fierce, the people are unbearable, and it is not for the saint-benevolent monarch to uphold." Liu Bang entered the customs, three chapters of the law, and the people did not follow it, this is the best example, His Majesty and other ministers objectively analyzed the Qin Law, and the ministers did not know what His Majesty meant. ”
Hey, this is on top, it's really smelly and hard.
Qin Mu said lightly: "Master Huang, since you are outspoken, I am not polite. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister knows everything, and the words are endless. If His Majesty points out anything inappropriate in what the minister says, the minister voluntarily accepts the punishment. ”
"I have always been reluctant to speak or sin, as your ministers know."
"Your Majesty." Huang Daozhou did not object to this, so this voice of His Majesty was sincere, but he was upright by nature, and he would never change his position because of your Shengming, "Please also ask Your Majesty to teach." ”
Qin Mu's expression was straight, and he said sternly: "For two thousand years, I have been under the Qin Law for generations, but some people pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold the mother. I would like to ask, if there is no Qin Law, will there be the Qin Emperor sweeping Liuhe, and the world will be unified? If there is no unification of the world, and the land of China is still divided, what will be the scene? Although the Qin Law is relatively harsh, how can its contribution to our Huaxia be ignored. It is true that society needs to promote forgiveness and charity, but it is also necessary to avoid sin, otherwise it is just self-deception. ”
Huang Daozhou's face was red and excited, and the Son of Heaven described it as "pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother", which really made him unacceptable.
Qin Mu waved his hand and said, "Bachelor Huang doesn't need to be excited, I will just talk about things, not just Bachelor Huang." I want you to look at the Qin Law objectively, because I want you to stand on a higher level and look at the problem from the perspective of 'guest', if you look at the Qin Law from the perspective of Confucianism, it will inevitably be unfair.
Confucianism advocates benevolence, righteousness and morality, which is necessary, and the people should also focus on education. However, education alone is far from enough, and there is no law in all dynasties. Confucianism guides the people's morality to a higher level, and the law guards the bottom line of social order. In fact, the two complement each other and are indispensable. ”
Can you not get excited? You say that!
However, Huang Daozhou is also a person who seeks truth from facts, and Qin Mu's words are not untargeted. What's more, he himself admits that the Qin law is too strict, and at the same time recognizes the Confucian education, and the attitude he adheres to is still relatively objective, which makes this Huang Daozhou feel a lot more comfortable.
Moreover, what he was really excited about was not that the emperor said that he would take the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold his mother, but that he was worried that Qin Mu would regain the pre-Qin cool method, and now that Qin Mu's tone was not like this, he was relieved.
"If His Majesty can really distinguish between priorities and priorities, advocate education as the mainstay, supplemented by criminal law, it is really a great fortune for the world. His Majesty can uphold the right path and revise the "History of Qin", and he will also objectively analyze the Qin Law, please rest assured. ”
Huang Daozhou's attitude, although he still put forward conditions, still surprised Qin Mu, he didn't expect this smelly and hard old man to become so sincere.
