Chapter 166 I am the Ancestral Dragon!

The ministers were silent...

If rumors can spread to such an extent, many civil and military officials present must be held responsible.

Who spread the rumor? Who promoted it?

Why did the city become stormy in just a few days?

Regardless of the truth of the matter, the spread of public opinion was extremely slow in ancient times. No matter how sensational something was, relying solely on natural dissemination, it would not be possible to move the country within a few days in ancient times.

The power of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms is considerable, at least in terms of public opinion, Da Qin has no advantage at all.

No matter how the First Emperor responds now, the goal of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms has actually been achieved.

They attacked Qin's destiny and legal principles, and at the same time flexed their muscles. Public opinion spread to such an extent that it can be said that Qin was defeated and fell to the ground. For the civil and military officials in the hall, as well as the three gongs and nine ministers, their faces have been

The old nobleman from the Six Kingdoms pressed him to the ground and rubbed him hard.

Of course, the current top priority is to save and make up for the damaged destiny and legal principles of Da Qin.

When the ministers were silent and had different thoughts, Shusun Tong was moved.

"His Majesty!"

"The connection between heaven and man, the harmony of yin and yang!"

"Signs from heaven are meant as warnings!"

Shu Sun Tong opens with a lightning strike.

"Did someone sense this at this time? Wasn't this thing created by Dong Zhongshu?" Zhao Si was shocked when he heard this.

Zhao Si thought that Shusun Tong was stupid and planned to use a vision from heaven to blame the first emperor and persuade him.

Who knew that the call between Shu and Sun would turn around.

"If the sky is different, it is the country's fault; if the country is wrong, it is the minister's inaction!"

Zhao Si blinked his eyes, and Shusun Tong went around for a long time, and actually explained this heavenly descending phenomenon through the theory of disasters and the Spring and Autumn Period in the Book of Changes.

How to explain?

There are visions in the sky because there is a problem in the country. This is a warning from God to the emperor, telling you that there is a problem on your side and sounding the alarm for you.

Where will the country's problems come from? It must be because the ministers did not do their part well.

Shu Suntong's argument is crucial. He did not use celestial phenomena to restrict the behavior of the First Emperor. Instead, he used celestial phenomena to justify the First Emperor. He quoted scriptures and changed the main person responsible for the abnormal changes in the celestial phenomena from the First Emperor to his ministers.

Anyway, the visions coming from heaven have nothing to do with the First Emperor. The First Emperor could not make mistakes, and the mistakes could only be made by the Dukes in the hall.

The most commendable thing is Shusun Tong's quotation of scriptures. He not only used the Spring and Autumn I Ching, but also the Mohist theory of heavenly punishment and the Yin-Yang theory of the Five Elements.

Zhao Si's cultural level has now improved, and his appreciation ability has been greatly improved compared to before, but when faced with Shusun Tong's frequent quotations from scriptures and his impeccable and logically linked speeches, he was still confused.

It sounds awesome, but I don’t know exactly where the awesomeness lies.

However, Shusun Tong dared to speak first, and he was obviously well prepared. Zhao Si glanced at Li Si.

Li Si nodded slightly and said that Shu Suntong's words were very good and the theory was very smooth. It was a public relations document with impeccable logic, the kind of document that even the great scholars of the time could not find any faults with.

Of course... Li Si just doesn't like it.

There is no problem with the First Emperor, there is a problem with the ministers, and there is a problem with the country. Who the fuck is going to be so weird about this?

This is a vision of the Yinghuo Shouxin Emperor's star fluttering. According to Shusun Tong, none of the three nobles and nine ministers are worthy of taking the blame for such a big vision.

Li Si is also one of the Three Dukes, and the only one who holds real power!

Of course, this is the necessary public relations for the Qin Dynasty. The First Emperor has already made a tough plan to patrol the world, but there must be some public relations documents. The prophecy that Zulong will die this year will be verified for a whole year, so we cannot let it go.

Rumors spread freely without any official explanation.

I can only hold my nose and admit it...

With Shusun Tongzhuyu in front of him, all the families and factions began to speak freely.

"How can the visions in the sky interfere with the operation of things in the world? Your Majesty manages government affairs, controls the four poles, plows and sows, and does everything himself. Even if there are any weird celestial phenomena, how can it affect the Qin Dynasty?"

The second person to speak was an old farmer wearing short straw sandals who looked out of place with everyone present.

"Farmer!" Zhao Si's eyes lit up.

In comparison, farmers' ideas are more in line with Zhao Si's ideas. Farmers believe that celestial phenomena are just celestial phenomena and have nothing to do with the human world. The real celestial phenomena that can be reflected on the human world are when it is windy and rainy, and when the weather is cloudy and sunny, rather than focusing on the weather.

Look at this star and that star and watch the stars connect in a line one by one.

From a modern perspective, the farmer's idea is right, but from this era, I can only say that I agree with Liao Liao. In this slightly primitive era, the farmer does not have enough respect for God.

The political ideas of the peasant family are too advanced. They believe that the emperor has responsibilities rather than enjoyment, that is, rights are given by the people of the world, and the emperor should be fair and righteous. Except for official affairs, he should be the same as everyone else in private.

The peasants believed that the Emperor was not sacred, but only an example of the will of the people in the world.

Therefore... the peasant family's remarks were not only not recognized by various schools and factions, but were also not recognized by the First Emperor.

The third one is Zhao Si’s old acquaintance Zou Feng.

Taking the Yin and Yang Five Behaviors as an entry point, he denied the rumors about Jiang Shen and directly pointed out that the other party was not the real Jiang Shen, but someone who was secretly pushing it...

Since then, hundreds of schools of thought have been clamoring, each holding his own opinion...

Only the Legalists did not speak.

Zhao Si looked at Li Si and raised his eyebrows. Now that hundreds of schools of thought have come to the fore, Li Si can actually hold his nerve. What Shu Sun Tong said was so exciting, Zhao Si thought Li Si would react.

Unexpectedly, Li Si just shook his head slightly with a smile on his face.

Speak?

Legal facts!

It’s about doing something!

After hundreds of schools of thought publicized Da Qin's public opinion, they came to a conclusion that Da Qin could not change public opinion through public relations, but it would not be completely in a weak position. The official public relations still had energy, and at least it would not be a completely one-sided situation.

After the public relations is done...it's time to deal with it with means.

"Discussions are strictly prohibited everywhere..."

"Report and expose each other."

"One person's voice can rule another person, and one place's voice can rule a place. Those who secretly spread the declaration will be punished with physical punishment!"

Li Sidang spoke first.

Classic public opinion control strategies and counterattacks, broad strikes, physical shutting up.

The method may not be a good one, but it will definitely work.

The idea of ​​being convicted for speaking out needs to be viewed dialectically. It would not be appropriate to be convicted for speaking the truth, but now it is obvious that someone is smearing someone in public opinion and damaging the image of the Qin Dynasty. If he is not punished, it is not enough to win people's hearts.

Li Si made an emergency response, forbidding mutual discussion about the Emperor Star fluttering to enchant the Heart Keeper and Jiang Shen to give the jade.

At the same time, we encourage reporting and exposure, and punishing people with conviction.

And it also includes the performance appraisal of officials.

Where is the rumor spread widely that officials are guilty of political incompetence and are punished for the same crime?

As an extension of the First Emperor's will, Li Si had a full aura, glaring at all the civil and military officials and even the leaders of hundreds of schools of thought present.

This happened so quickly, and Da Qin resisted so weakly, Li Si was suffocating in his heart.

It only took a few days to spread throughout Guanzhong, and it almost knocked the faces of Daqin's administrative officials to the ground.

Li Si was optimistic because he believed it was just a rumor, and he was happy because the distance between the First Emperor and him had been reduced.

But it doesn't mean that he is not angry about this matter. Others have knives on their necks. He is the real left prime minister, the head of the three ministers and the nine ministers, and the leader of hundreds of civil and military officials. The failure of the officials to do their duty is his failure.

The inaction of officials is his inaction.

Generally speaking…

The matter should end here.

Public relations and public relations were also done, and the means of handling the matter were decided.

Although the response was not perfect, and the counterattack was not straightforward and thorough enough, it could be considered a response.

However, whether it is Li Si, Zhao Si or Meng Yi, they all know that the highlight of today is not these.

"Zulong died this year..."

After Li Si retreated, the First Emperor chanted softly.

"What is Ancestral Dragon?" The First Emperor looked at Shusun Tong.

"The ancestor dragon is the ancestor of mankind." Shusun Tong pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Seriously speaking, the totem of the Qin Dynasty is actually not a dragon but a black bird, so the title Zulong does not directly and clearly designate the First Emperor.
