Unification of territory!
Unification of writing!
Unification of culture!
Unification of currency!
Unification of weights and measures!
Unification of ethics and morality!
With Qi, Chu, Zhao, Yan, Han, Wei, and Qin as firewood, we will create an unprecedented and incomparable unified empire!
The words of Prince Fusu made Qin Emperor Ying Zheng and other civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty feel overwhelmed and unable to calm down.
Originally, they thought that they had already achieved an unprecedented and eternal feat by sweeping away the six kingdoms and unifying the world.
But after listening to the words of Prince Fusu, they suddenly realized that they had just completed the unification of territory.
In addition to the unification of territory, whether it is the unification of writing, the unification of culture, the unification of currency, the unification of weights and measures, or the unification of ethics and morality, etc.
They have not yet achieved all of these!
To be honest, after pacifying the six kingdoms and unifying the world, if the sky curtain had not appeared and told them that the Qin Dynasty was in danger of extinction in the future, then whether it was Emperor Qin Yingzheng or other Qin civil officials and generals, they were actually more or less satisfied with their achievements.
After all, the highest dream and pursuit of the Qin Dynasty throughout the ages was to pacify the six kingdoms and unify the world.
In addition, they could not think of any other goals worth pursuing for the time being.
But now after listening to the story of Prince Fusu, they suddenly realized that their achievements were not perfect.
Now, according to the standards of Prince Fusu, they have only just completed the unification of the"eight, eight, seven, and seven" territory.
So if they want to be satisfied, they must at least wait until they have solved the danger of the future extinction of the Qin Dynasty.
And after the unification of writing, culture, currency, weights and measures, ethics, etc., has been truly achieved.
At that time, it will not be too late to feel proud of your achievements.
With this thought, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, who originally could not find any other goals to strive for except solving the danger of the future destruction of the Qin State, and other civil and military officials of the Qin State became motivated again.
They also wanted to see what Prince Fusu said, using Qi, Chu, Zhao, Yan, Han, Wei, and Qin as firewood to truly complete an unprecedented unified empire in all aspects.
What a magnificent and incredible great empire it will be!
By then, as the co-creator of this great, magnificent and incredible empire, what kind of rich and colorful strokes will they leave in the history books! Then
, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he ordered one by one:
"Wei Qing, you will be responsible for unifying and simplifying the characters of the current Qin State and other original countries to create a new unified character, as well as promoting and popularizing it!"
"Assistant Censor Zhang Cang, you will be transferred to the position of Prime Minister Wei to assist him."
The Left Prime Minister Wei Zhuang immediately bowed and accepted the order, saying,"I obey your order!"
Although the First Emperor gave him the responsibility of creating a new unified writing system and promoting it in the future,
Wei Zhuang knew very well that he would only be given a title and control the general direction.
As for the specific details and execution, they would probably be handed over to Zhang Cang.
If Zhang Cang could achieve a perfect result in this task, then with the merit of creating and promoting the unified writing system, Zhang Cang would be almost qualified to try to sit in the position of the Nine Ministers in the future. Zhang Cang also thought of what Wei Zhuang thought.
Although he also guessed that after the sky curtain showed that he had the talent of the Nine Ministers, or even the talent of the Prime Minister, the First Emperor would most likely give him a chance to hone and test him. But he never expected that this opportunity to hone and test would come so quickly.
But since the opportunity has come to him, he naturally would not give up.
He must seize this opportunity to take the opportunity to soar into the sky!
So Zhang Cang was so excited that he could hardly suppress it and said:
"I will live up to your majesty's high expectations!"
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then looked at the right prime minister Wang Wan on the other side and ordered:
"Mr. Wang, how can we take the essence and discard the dross of the different customs of Qin and the world today?"
"It is your responsibility to re-establish a unified set of ethics and behavioral norms so that everyone in the world can follow the same principles."
"The Secretary of the Central Secretariat ordered Zhang Han to be transferred to the position of Prime Minister Wang to assist him.
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan also bowed and said,"Minister, obey your order!"
Then, Wang Wan turned his head and looked at Zhang Han, who was standing in the middle and lower levels of the civil and military officials, and gave him a friendly and kind smile.
Zhang Han also bowed calmly and said,"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, Zhang Han bowed slightly and respectfully to the Right Prime Minister Wang Wan who was standing in front of him and showed goodwill.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, the court judge, and also ordered:
"Li Qing, how can we take the wheel tracks, weights and measures of Qin and other countries in the world today and extract the essence and discard the dross?"
"Finally, it will be your responsibility to formulate a new system of wheel tracks, weights and measures, and ensure that all vehicles in the world have the same wheel tracks and unified weights and measures!"
"Mohist Xiang Liji and others, assist from the side!"
Tingwei Li Si and Mohist Xiang Liji both clasped their hands and replied,"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then Emperor Qin Yingzheng looked at the Imperial Censor Feng Quji on the other side and arranged:
"Feng Qing, how to refer to the currency system of Qin and other countries in the world today, and redesign a new currency system for Qin to achieve currency unification for the whole world, is also up to you."
"You may ask Lord Gangcheng for advice on this matter!"
Feng Quji also nodded solemnly and said,"Minister, obey your order!"
After the First Emperor arranged all the responsible persons for the unification of various aspects, the various schools of thought, especially the Confucian scholars such as Chunyu Yue, could not help but stand up and say:
"Your Majesty, Confucianism is about education, etiquette, and benevolence."
"Whether it is creating a new unified writing system or establishing a unified set of ethical morals and behavioral norms, Confucianism can do its best!"
"Please allow us to participate in the creation of a new unified writing system and the establishment of new unified ethics and codes of conduct!"
Whether it is the unification of writing, or the unification of ethics and codes of conduct, it can be said to be an unprecedented great cause.
To be honest, it is somewhat similar to the Zhou Gong system of Zhou Li in the past.
If Confucianism can participate in it, or in other words, the unified writing used by everyone in the Qin State in the future, as well as the ethics and codes of conduct followed by everyone, are all formulated by Confucianism.
Then in the future, Confucianism can truly take root in the Qin State, as long as the new unified writing of the Qin State continues, and the ethics and codes of conduct followed by everyone do not die.
Then Confucianism will be accompanied by these writings, ethics and codes of conduct. and behavioral norms, and pass on the prosperity from generation to generation!
In the future, no matter who talks about these characters, ethics, and behavioral norms, they cannot avoid Confucianism!
By then, even if Confucianism cannot replace the ideological status of Legalism in Qin, it can at least flourish in Qin!
That's why Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors were so anxious to stand up and fight for the opportunity to participate in the formulation of Qin's new unified characters, as well as the ethics and behavioral norms that everyone follows.
And this point was not only thought of by Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors, but also by other doctors of various schools of thought, and they immediately spoke up to fight for it:
"Your Majesty, when it comes to unified standards, among all the schools of thought, who is better than our Mohist school?"
"The previous weights and measures of the Qin State were unified by my Mohist school. Now all we need to do is to unify and create new characters. My Mohist school is also capable of performing this task!"
"In addition, my Mohist theory of benevolence can also help the Qin State establish a new, unified set of ethical morals and behavioral norms that everyone can follow!"
"Your Majesty, our Huang-Lao Taoism can also help the Qin State unify, create new characters, and formulate and establish new ethical morals and behavioral norms!"
"Your Majesty, we in the Yin-Yang School are also willing to do our best for the Qin State in this matter!"
"And my Zongheng family......"......
For other schools of thought, in fact, in terms of creating a new unified writing system and establishing a unified ethics and code of conduct, they may not be as good as Confucianism.
After all, Confucianism has a long history and inherited most of the Zhou rituals.
If Confucianism is based on the Zhou rituals and Zhou characters of the past.
Then it would be much easier for them to create a new unified writing system and establish a unified ethics and code of conduct than other schools of thought.
However, for other schools of thought, can they give up just because they are not as good as Confucianism?
Of course not! It is precisely because they know that Confucianism has an advantage in this regard that they want to intervene and not let Confucianism take all the credit.
Otherwise, Confucianism will really take root in the Qin State like Legalism and Mohism in the future, thus squeezing out the living space of their respective schools in the Qin State.
So even if these schools of thought cannot independently create a new set of unified writing systems and establish a new set of unified ethics and code of conduct,.........
But at least you should participate in it and contribute a little to your own school..........
In this way, when they talk about the new unified writing, the new unified ethics and behavioral norms in the future, they will also mention the Hundred Schools of Thought to which they belong.
In this way, these Hundred Schools of Thought can also be passed down to future generations because they jointly participated in the formulation of the new unified writing, as well as the establishment of new unified ethics and behavioral norms.
At the same time, they can also work together to share part of the credit of Confucianism in this matter, thereby suppressing the rise of Confucianism and expanding the influence of their own school.
This can be said to be a hundred benefits and no harm to their other schools of thought.
So in the end, even the military strategists, the miscellaneous school, and even the famous school, which are almost irrelevant, all came together to mix in.
Let Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors, who regarded the creation of a new set of unified writing and the establishment of a new set of unified ethics and behavioral norms as the credit of Confucianism and the opportunity for the future rise of Confucianism, be furious.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, the First Emperor was still standing at the top, and had not yet determined whether to agree with their Confucianism to participate.
I'm afraid that Chunyu Yue and other Confucian doctors would have been unable to resist rolling up their sleeves and fighting with other doctors of various schools of thought.
As a Confucian in the pre-Qin period, martial virtues were actually quite abundant.
After all, it had not been long since Confucius died, and the Confucian disciples of this period had not yet abandoned Confucius' archery and charioteering skills.
However, even if they had not yet started, all kinds of words such as beasts without a monarch and father, concubines, and walls of dung were sprayed in the faces of other doctors of various schools of thought.
This naturally also attracted the rebuke and counterattack of other doctors of various schools of thought.
Suddenly, the Xianyang Palace was quarreled by a group of doctors of various schools of thought into a vegetable market. When
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng saw this scene, he paused heavily with his sword in his hand, and swept his indifferent eyes over, like ice water in winter, instantly extinguishing the anger between the various schools of thought.
The scholars of various schools of thought, who were arguing loudly, all bowed to the First Emperor and admitted their mistakes, saying,"We have been disrespectful, please forgive us, Your Majesty!"
The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng said indifferently,"Since you all want to serve Qin, I will not make a fuss about it this time, but it will not happen again."
The scholars of various schools of thought bowed again and said,"We, thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty!"
Then the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng continued,"Regarding the creation of a new unified writing system and the establishment of a unified set of ethics and behavioral norms, those who are willing to do their best for Qin will be rewarded."
"After the curtain falls, you can go to the left and right prime ministers to listen to their orders."
The scholars of various schools of thought bowed again and again:"Your subjects, obey your order!"
Then the scholars of various schools of thought stood up and looked at each other with eyes like swords clashing, sparks flying, full of the intention of not giving in.
Compared with the overall positive atmosphere of the king and ministers in Xianyang City, the reaction of the nobles of the six countries around the world was much more intense.
"Damn son of a tyrant, you and your son destroyed our country, and you even want to destroy our writing and disrupt our customs. I curse you and your son to die a miserable death!"
"The one who first created clay figures for burials will never have any descendants!"
"Today, the Great Qin has abolished the writing system of our homeland and disrupted our customs. In the future, someone will surely abolish the Qin writing system and disrupt Qin customs!"
"The tyrant and the violent Qin are brutal and inhumane, with no morals or justice, so their country will not last long!".........
The nobles of the six countries all over the world cursed the prince Fusu on the sky.
For the nobles of the six countries, the prince Fusu on the sky wanted to ban and abolish the original characters of their countries, and then use the new Qin characters to record the history of their countries, and to unify the customs and human relations of all parts of the world.
This is to cut off the roots of their homeland!
If the characters, customs and human relations of their homeland are erased or replaced, then after a long time, who among the people of the world will remember their original homeland?
If the people of the world even forget or replace the characters, customs and human relations of their homeland, then even if they stand up and call on the people of the world to fight against Qin for their homeland in the future, how many people of the world will be willing to listen and follow?
If they die, who will remember the glorious historical deeds of their homeland and family in the past?
If the Qin State destroyed their homeland, it was to destroy them"physically".
Then the great unification of the Qin State, such as"unified writing, unified wheel gauge, unified customs, unified currency and weights and measures", was to eliminate them"spiritually"!
This was to completely cut off the last bit of the nobles of the six countries, so the nobles of the six countries were so furious..
