Li Yuan's series of actions after returning to the country plunged the Qin government and the public into chaos. This abnormal fluctuation was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake. The power of God is unpredictable. It is beyond human intelligence to guess. In the historical records of the Qin State, the historian made this judgment when summarizing a series of remarks and edicts made by Li Yuan after his return to the country. ¡ª¡ª. No one knows why? When dealing with dependent tribes such as Aiyang, Yiqu, Loufan, etc., Shenwu Emperor Li Yuan adopted a supportive attitude, giving land and preferential treatment to help them get out of the plight of genocide. In return, the Qin State received these small tribes. With the gratitude of the tribe, they joined the melting pot of Qin with admiration for the people of Qin, fighting for it, bleeding for it, and even dying for it. On the contrary, Li Yuan showed another side in his attitude towards the Xiongnu, Goguryeo, and Yamato. He killed countless people, was ruthless, and killed indiscriminately. It can be said that Li Yuan's hands were stained with Full of blood. "This is a butcher!" "The mad emperor of Qin is a murderer. Amaterasu should take him in and let him be tortured by the evil spirits in the shrine forever." As the Qin army continued to advance, At the same time, the losers cursed viciously behind their backs again and again. Unfortunately, these curses not only failed to help them turn defeat into victory, but instead brought them to the edge of life and death faster. The last remnants of the Huns are competing with the Slavs for the last nomadic lands in the Don River Basin, whether they win or lose. Han Xin's cavalry is already eyeing the area of ??the Ural King's Line, ready to pounce at any time. There was only one road left for the Huns, and they continued to be driven westward until they reached the sea. On the peninsula in the eastern part of Liao Dynasty, to the south of Changbai Mountain, the life of Goguryeo King Gao Zhumeng was not easy. The oppression of the Qin army was like a big mountain. Although the front line push was not fast, but not advancing rashly meant that there was no gap. For the Goguryeo people, who had a huge gap in strength, there was almost no chance of a comeback. Of course, the Xiongnu and Goguryeo could still breathe and support, and Li Yuan never personally said that he wanted to kill all these two ethnic groups, but the Japanese were different. Since Li Yuan's strict order was issued, starting from Chang'an, a sweeping operation to clean up the Japanese began vigorously across the country. However, most of the Japanese who were able to travel across the ocean to come to Qin in this era were bold adventurers. They were short in stature, had extremely short legs, and had different accents. After Fu Ji's investigation, it was not very difficult to find out. ¡ª¡ª. Late September. Qidi, Langya County. A sudden turmoil made the county, which had been quiet for many days, lively. Actions to track down the Japanese were implemented in various places. Due to the inconsistency in implementation standards. It also caused some misunderstandings, including in Langya County. Some unlucky guys who looked like Japanese people were also locked up. Gong Yangshou, a native of Qi, was one of the fish in the pond. Gongyang Shou was the leader of the Gongyang family of the famous Confucian school in Qi. Unlike the situation where public schools replaced private schools in various parts of the Qin Dynasty, the people of Qi had a government school here because Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, therefore, the disciples of Confucius There were many disciples of their disciples, which allowed private schools and public schools to coexist and gradually became a phenomenon. It is said that Gongyang theory originated from Zi Xia, one of Confucius's seventy-two disciples. After six generations of Gongyang Gao, Gongyang Ping, and Gongyang Gan, finally in Gongyang Shou's generation, he finally wrote a famous book "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Biography". The appearance of this book made Confucianism more popular in the world. Qidi's position is further consolidated. Confucianism flourished. Then he will withdraw from law studies. The competition in the academic field is no softer than on the battlefield. Gongyang Shou and his disciples' comments on current affairs made the Qin officials who governed Qi very angry. This time, under the pretext of hunting down Japanese people, the soldiers of the Qin State went to Gongyang's house to make a scene. They didn't intend to do anything originally, but then a fierce fight broke out between Gongyang's students and the soldiers because of a verbal conflict. In anger, the county lieutenant who led the troops directly detained Gong Yangshou as a Japanese suspect. This move. Like poking a hornet's nest, the Confucian students in Qi who had been dissatisfied with Confucianism for so long became agitated. They began to go on strike and occupation of public schools in an attempt to suppress the release of Confucianism from the county. Gongyang longevity. Coincidentally, Yuan Kui, the magistrate of Jimo County, Langya County, Qin State, was also a student of Gong Yangshou. However, Yuan Kui was not a firm believer in Confucianism. Hearing that Gong Yangshou's students were causing trouble, Yuan Kui was frightened. Next, while reporting to the Qin army under Feng Xuan's command not far from Langya, he also reported the situation to his superior Qi Prime Minister Feng Tang. Feng Tang is a native of Zhongqiu, Zhaodi. He once served as a chariot and cavalry captain under Su Jiao, the governor of Yunzhong County.?Subsequently, Feng Tang was recommended as Prime Minister of Qi, responsible for managing the internal affairs of Langya, Donghai, Dangjun and other places. Compared with the historical allusion of "Feng Tang Yi Lao and Li Guang were difficult to enfeoff" in the early Western Han Dynasty, the employment mechanism of the Qin State eliminated the possibility of Liu Bang ennobling his sons and nephews as princes and kings. Therefore, there were also vacancies in various places. He held a considerable number of official positions, which just gave opportunities to civilians like Feng Tang. Knowing that the Confucian scholars of the Gongyang School were making trouble, Feng Tang keenly felt that the meaning contained in this was not just as simple as releasing Gongyang Shou. For this reason, he specially compiled a letter and sent it to Chang'an overnight. In this long letter, Feng Tang mentioned: The fundamental reason for the unrest among Confucian scholars in Qi lies in the issue of official recruitment. Since the Qin State's talent selection mechanism is mainly Relying on the recommendation of celebrities, village elders and public school examinations, this is equivalent to closing the door to becoming an official in the court for students who enter private schools. Students can wait for one or two days. "In one or two years, even if they were impatient, they could persist in the ideals in their hearts. They could still fight with one voice against those wavering elements who were not determined. "But after ten years, the Qin State, which they said was unbearable, still firmly held the power of the court. When the classmates they once looked down on gradually became officials in the county, the repression that the Confucian students had accumulated for a long time broke out. While Feng Tang actively reported to the court, he and his surname Feng announced a plan to lure the enemy. The Qin army coming from the Jimo Sea took advantage of the night to arrest the family members of the Confucian scholars one by one, and then divided them one by one. , which caused the Confucian scholars who were originally focused on one thing to completely lose their fighting spirit the next day. The fees charged for Gong Yangshou's private education were also high. The main reason why Confucian students could concentrate on their studies was that their families had enough financial support. After the salary was cut off, the farce initiated by the Confucian students immediately subsided. At the same time, Orders from the court also arrived. Gongyang Shou, the last great Confucian in Qi, was executed for inciting student unrest, and the entire Gongyang School was uprooted. As for those Confucian scholars who participated in the unrest, they were either sent to the West for military purposes, or directly imprisoned, waiting for them It's a long service life. Feng Tang's outstanding response also earned him strong praise from the court. Especially under Feng Xuan's recommendation, Feng Tang was transferred from the position of Qi Prime Minister to Chang'an as the CRRC Mansion Order. This position is under the Prime Minister and is mainly responsible for Handle the daily affairs reported by each county and put forward his own suggestions, and his opinions will undoubtedly have an important impact on the next court meeting. ¡ª¡ª. The Confucian and student turmoil in Qi. It is just a small episode in the various counties in this ethnic cleansing. In these incidents, capable officials like Feng Tang are demonstrating their capabilities, while incompetent people like Yuan Kuai are being evaluated. Being deemed unqualified and dismissed from office. The state affairs of Great Qin are undergoing changes inadvertently. This kind of change, in many cases, is inconspicuous and subtle. As the initiator of this change, Li Yuan has only one real purpose: to change the mechanism of selecting and employing people. In the past few months, Li Yuan had many conversations with hundreds of officials in the DPRK. Now, coupled with the information he learned from Yan Le and Meng Hu's Zhijing Department and Military Intelligence Department, he had new plans for the future of Qin and the rule of law. After more than ten years of peace in the country and the Qin State, which decides affairs by law, the domestic customs and sentiments are gradually changing. The most obvious manifestation is that human relations are higher than law and order. This situation is not only reflected in the court cases. In prison, it is also reflected in daily affairs. After Ji An succeeded Chen Ping as prime minister, he was also worried about this trend. When Li Yuan did not come back, the upright prime minister was like a lonely fighter, facing pressure from above and below alone. Now, he finally persisted until the return of the most powerful backstage. "The future of Qin does not need the golden mean. Merits should be rewarded, deeds should be punished, and crimes should be punished. This is the full meaning of the country of laws. Therefore, I hope that officials at all levels will keep this in mind. Don't bend the law because of selfishness, don't be afraid because of emotion, don't forget public service because of profit." Under the court, Li Yuan's words were sharp and merciless, pointing directly to the deepest parts of the hearts of the officials, who were about to go on another expedition. Before the West, he would lay the ideological foundation of Qin with every word and deed and a soul storm. October is coming. News came from the Middle East that the internal fighting in the Roman Republic was about to end. Fabian, who represented the conservative forces, was criticized for his improper employment of people on the Carthage issue. The young Roman general Scipio received the support of more than half of the senators in the Senate, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would ascend to the position of Roman consul. With Scipio taking the throne, the complex situation in the Mediterranean will become acute again. It will be difficult for the Qin army to practice secret naval operations in Troy from the Romans for a long time, and once the WesternAfter realizing the Qin army's purpose, the Roman fleet was very likely to take the lead in launching a breaking attack at sea. Cut off the channel. Detaining merchant ships, plundering goods, and intimidating merchants not to trade with Qin and its allies. Once these economic sanctions are used, they will undoubtedly bring a serious blow to Qin's prestige, and like the Jews and Greeks, These weak allies will also cast doubt on the Qin army. To protect them, a decisive battle with the Roman fleet is necessary? Qin has no right to make decisions, and this is what Li Yuan is most worried about.
