Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 433 Gong Li's Upright Position
"One day more than two hundred BC, Qin Shihuang was assassinated, and General Meng Tianfang stepped forward to rescue him. Qin Shihuang overhauled the tomb and ordered the alchemist to refine the elixir of eternal life. Qin Shihuang was tyrannical and innocent, and the people did not live. Numerous virgins travelled to Penglai to find the elixir of longevity. Meng Tianfang, who was given a sword by an officer for rescuing Qin Shihuang, fell in love at first sight with the conscript girl Han Donger, tasted the forbidden fruit, and was given death for deceiving the emperor. Before the execution, Dong Er'an sent the Golden Pill of Immortality cultivated by Xu Fu into Mengtian's mouth, plunged himself into the kiln, and died of love. Mengtianfang was sealed in mud as a figurine and placed in the tomb..."
"Ah." Gong Li exclaimed and interrupted Qiao Feng's narration: "That's how the hero and heroine died?"
"Of course not. The movie's name is Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors Love. How can it be done from ancient times?" Qiao Feng said funny.
"Oh, that's it, I understand." Gong Li nodded without understanding and then asked:'Han Donger and Mengtian fell in love at first sight and tasted the forbidden fruit. It's impossible, but it was in ancient times, not so open. Right?"
"Of course it can't be that simple. Qin Shihuang burned books to confuse scholars. Meng Tianfang was one of the leaders. Han Dong'er's home had books. When evading search, thanks to Meng Tianfang's help to cover, Han Dong'er hiding in the dark. The talent from the family has escaped for a while, so Han Donger will have a love for Meng Tianfang." Qiao Feng explained that this will be described at the beginning of the movie, otherwise it would be inexplicable to fall in love at first sight.
"Qin Shihuang was the first emperor. This book-burning and confucianism was the biggest stain on his body. Anything related to him cannot avoid this. Do you think Han Donger and Mengtianfang really exist in history? Isn't it really because the burning of books and Confucianism came together and both died?" Gong Li asked with a little curiosity and a little fascinating.
"I don't know if there is Han Dong'er, Meng Tianfang is here, but I think that the burning of books and confucianism is a stain on Qin Shihuang's body. This is completely the slander of Qin Shihuang by later generations, especially Confucians." Qiao Feng shook his head in disapproval.
"Why, isn't it all said in history books?" Gong Li asked puzzled.
Qiao Feng thought for a moment and explained: "You can't believe it in history books. Haven't you heard that history is a little girl who is dressed up? The burning of books and Confucianism is not as written in history books. Simple, it is not simply saying that Qin Shihuang burned the book and then killed all the Confucianists. This is not the case. This is not one thing, but two things that happened in different backgrounds. Burning a book is not about All the books were burned, but they were burned selectively. Because Qin Shihuang wanted to unify the writing, he would naturally also unify the books, and ultimately to unify the thoughts. If there are separate writing books like the previous six countries, This is definitely not conducive to the unification of thinking and the unification of the country, so it is understandable to burn some books of the Six Nations.
In fact, the books to be burned are the history books of the Six Kingdoms and poetry books, which are highly regarded by Confucianism, and the books of Baijiayu, which are different from legalism, such as medicine, divination, farm classics and other practical books. They are not included in the burning category. Simply put, it is a movement to unify the thoughts. The books burned are not conducive to the unification of thoughts. It is no different from Dong Zhongshuti's ousting of a hundred schools in the Han Wu Emperor period, but he respects Confucianism, but It’s just replacing the ideological unity of Legalism with that of Confucianism. After that, the Confucianism also discredited Qin Shihuang and Legalists. Moreover, the burning of books was only the private collection of books, and the official collections were not. No burn."
"What is going on with confucianism?" Gong Liguang knows the idiom of burning books and confucianism, but the things inside are really unclear. Now that Qiao Feng talks like this, he feels that he needs to take the opportunity to make up for it. Historical knowledge.
"King of Confucianism and book burning did not occur at the same time, but there is also a reason for the unification of ideas. Qin Shihuang carried out a series of reforms after the unification of the six countries, which was carried out in fierce struggle, and the Qin Dynasty was domineering. The rule of law; however, it advertises a hundred schools of thought,
At that time, there were alchemist Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng who asked for the elixir of life for the first emperor, but they have not found it, but they pretended to be loyal with the reward given by the emperor.According to the Qin Law, it is said that it must be done, otherwise it must be punished.Where do they go to make elixir?They were afraid of crimes, so they used offense as defense, propagating everywhere, saying that Qin Shihuang was "just for his own use", "full-time jailer", "using torture as prestige," "greed of power," and should not ask for immortal medicine for him.When the first emperor learned that he was furious, he thought that "I trust them so much on weekdays, but they deceive and betray me." Then he ordered the doctor to investigate and confess, and finally confessed and confessed. What happened to the Confucian scholars who were obedient to the country's unrest.
Moreover, there were not many people who killed them. The warlocks and scholars only killed more than 400 people. Compared with the unity and stability of the country, the death of more than 400 people is not considered to be a dead fart. It is not as good as the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The answer is too many. The reason why the burning of books and confucianism has become a stain that Qin Shihuang cannot wash away is, to the greatest extent, that he offended the literati Confucian group. Confucianism has always been a very powerful group since the Warring States period. It reflects how to think The rule of the country must be centered on Confucianism, so it is incompatible with the Mohist school, with the Legalist school, and with all the scholars and schools. The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dominates Confucianism and oust the schools, giving Confucianism important power.After they got their will, they pointed the sinner to Qin Shihuang, so Qin Shihuang became a tyrant forever, and a stinky one for thousands of years.
Qiao Feng, let's talk, Gong Li watched and listened with admiration, and almost raised his knees and shouted.
"It turns out that this is the case. If it weren't for listening to you today, I really don't know that there are so many things inside, let alone that there is such a big mistake in the understanding of Qin Shihuang." Gong Li who has studied repeatedly nodded and exclaimed.
"Hehe, even if I don't say it, you will have some understanding after making this movie." Qiao Feng said with a smile.
In the movie "The War between Ancient and Modern Qin Warriors", when telling the story of the Qin Dynasty, there is a story about how the alchemist deceived Qin Shihuang. Obviously, what he refined was a fake pill, which would kill him if he took it. The rabbit was replaced, and I tried a rabbit that was immortal. After the rabbit died, he immediately replaced it with a new, lively rabbit from the sleeve of the tunic. After being broken, he deceived Qin Shihuang that there was a fairy mountain overseas and was willing to give it to Qin Shihuang. To find the elixir of longevity, and to bring hundreds of virgins, it was just a trick to deceive Qin Shihuang to escape overseas.
In ancient times, the crime of deceiving the king was the crime of decapitation, and in modern times, deceiving leaders is also a capital crime, not a capital crime, but also a life imprisonment.
Therefore, Qin Shihuang's treatment is really fine.
