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.

——.

No one knows why?

Treating the 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 Huns, Goguryeo, and Yamato. He killed countless people, was cruel and ruthless, and killed indiscriminately. It can be said that Li Yuan's hands were stained with

Full of blood.

"It's 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." While the Qin army continued to advance, the losers were behind the scenes.

They cursed fiercely again and again. Unfortunately, these spells 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 land in the Don River Basin. Regardless of whether they win or lose, Han Xin's cavalry is already eyeing the Ural Royal Line and pounces at any time. The only way for the Huns is

One, continued to be driven west, until the sea.

On the peninsula in the eastern part of Liao Dynasty, south of Changbai Mountain, the life of King Gao of Goguryeo was not easy. The oppression of the Qin army was like a big mountain. Although the front-line push was not fast, not advancing rashly meant that there was no gap. For

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, in this era, the Japanese who were able to travel far across the ocean to come to Qin were mostly bold adventurers.

He is short, has extremely short legs, and has a different accent. After Fu Ji's investigation, it was not very difficult to find him.

——.

Late September.

Qidi. Langya County.

A sudden turmoil made the county that had been quiet for many days lively. Actions to track down the Japanese were carried out in various places. Due to the inconsistent implementation standards, some misunderstandings were also caused. Among them, in Langya County, there was an unlucky guy who looked like a Japanese.

He was also locked up.

Gong Yangshou, a native of Qi, was one of the fish in the pond.

Gongyang Shou is the leader of the Gongyang family of the famous Confucian school in Qi. Unlike the situation in Qin where public schools replaced private schools, Qi people established 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 popular.

It is said that Gongyang theory originated from Zi Xia, one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius. It went through Gongyang Gao, Gongyang Ping, Gongyang Gan and so on for six generations, and finally reached the Gongyang Shou generation and finally became a book.

The emergence of this famous book "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Zhuan" further consolidated the status of Confucianism in Qi.

The rise of Confucianism.

Then law studies will fade away.

The competition in the academic field is no more soft than on the battlefield. Gong Yangshou and his disciples' comments on current affairs made the Qin officials who governed Qi very angry. This time, in the name of hunting down Japanese people,

Head, Qin's county soldiers arrived at Gongyang

We went home to make a fuss, and we didn’t plan to do anything. But then, a fierce fight broke out between Gongyang students and the county soldiers because of a verbal conflict. In anger, the county lieutenant who led the troops directly regarded Gongyang Shou as

The Japanese suspect was taken into custody.

This move.

Just like poking a hornet's nest, the Confucian students in Qi who were dissatisfied with the long-term suppression of Confucianism became excited one by one. They began to go on strike, went on strike, and occupied 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, he reported the situation to Feng Xuan's Qin army not far from Langya, and at the same time reported the situation to his superior Qi Prime Minister Feng Tang.

Feng Tang was a native of Zhongqiu, Zhaodi. He once served as a chariot and cavalry captain under Su Jiao, the governor of Yunzhong County. Later, Feng Tang was recommended as Prime Minister of Qi, responsible for managing the internal affairs of Langya, Donghai, Dangjun and other places. And history

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, "Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guangnan

Compared with the allusion of "Feng", Qin's employment mechanism eliminated the possibility of Liu Bang enfeoffing his sons and making his nephews princes and kings. Therefore, a considerable number of official positions were vacated in various places, which happened to be given to Xiang Feng

Opportunities for ordinary people like Tang.

When he learned that the Confucian scholars of the Gongyang School were making trouble, Feng Tang keenly felt that the meaning involved 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 two channels of celebrity, recommendation by village elders and public school examination, 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.

Even if they become impatient in one or two years, they can persist in their ideals, and they can still attack with one voice those wavering elements who are not determined.

But when ten years passed, 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 was actively reporting 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 into groups 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 the Confucian students were able to 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 imperial 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 Prefectural Order. This position is under the Prime Minister and is mainly responsible for

He handles the daily affairs reported by each county and puts forward his own suggestions, and his opinions will undoubtedly have an important impact on the subsequent court meetings.

——.

Unrest among Confucian scholars in Qi.

It is just a small episode in 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 undergoing evaluation.

If deemed unqualified, he will be removed from office.

The state affairs of the Qin Dynasty were undergoing changes inadvertently.

In many cases, this kind of change is inconspicuous and subtle. As the initiator of this change, Li Yuan has only one real purpose: to change the mechanism for 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, Meng Hu's Zhijing Department, and the Military Intelligence Department, he had new plans for the future of the Qin State and the rule of law.

After more than ten years of peace in the country of Qin, 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 discipline. 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, this 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 the Qin State 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 hearts of the officials. Before he was about to go on another expedition to the west, he would use every word and deed, and use a soul storm to lay the foundation for the Qin Kingdom.

the ideological foundation.

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 inappropriate employment of people on the Carthage issue. The young Roman general Scipio received more than half of the Senate

With the support of the senators, it was a foregone conclusion that he would ascend to the position of Roman consul.

With Scipio coming to power, the complex situation in the Mediterranean will become acute again. It will be difficult for the Qin army's secret naval exercises in Troy to be hidden from the Romans for a long time. Once Scipio wakes up to the Qin army's purpose, Rome

It is very likely that the fleet will take the lead in launching a breaching battle 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.
