Chapter 418 Meng Yi's Viewpoint
Inside the palace, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
"It's still Ying Yu who understands life. Although he was not used to this tea when he first drank it, once he likes it, he can't leave it."
Ying Zheng took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and said with sincere emotion.
After two years of development, Daqin's tea culture can be said to be very popular.
"This tea can not only relieve fatigue, but also clear away heat and heat, soothe the nerves and improve eyesight, and prolong life. It is indeed a good thing!"
The accompanying Dunwei also expressed emotion.
Ying Zheng also nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Liu Mo, go and get a few catties of tribute tea from Hanzhong County just now, and you two will bring some back later!"
A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
The relationship between him and Meng Yi has always been excellent, so naturally he will not be stingy with this tea.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Meng Yi and Dun Wei hurriedly got up to thank them!
"This is not the court, so there is no need to be so polite."
"These teas were all sent by the crown prince, and I can't drink them all by myself."
"What's more, that girl Ruyi will soon pass through the door. By then, you will be regarded as the elder of the prince. You can still afford a little tea."
Ying Zheng waved his hands.
After reaching the Year of Destiny, the First Emperor paid little attention to many things, but he paid more attention to this family relationship.
The biggest expectation now is to have a full house of children and grandchildren, survive until retirement, and then tour the entire Great Qin for hundreds of millions of miles.
For Meng Yi and other people who have followed him all his life, his attitude is much more easy-going.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"If the girl Ruyi can marry into the Prince's Mansion, I will be relieved."
Meng Yi's face was full of joy, and he bowed again.
The marriage of his youngest daughter has always been one of his biggest concerns, and now that it has finally been settled from Ying Zheng's mouth, Meng Yi can feel at ease.
Meng Yi has already made up his mind that if Wang Yuqiu gets married this time, he will take out a super generous gift as a dowry, so that his daughter will have a good time.
Ying Zheng smiled lightly.
Naturally, Ying Zheng would not understand Meng Yi's thoughts, nor would he object to them.
The reason why he values Meng Ruyi is because the Meng family has always been loyal to Great Qin.
And although Meng Ruyi's temper is a bit straightforward, there is also an advantage, that is, he will not stir up trouble in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, and will not cause trouble.
Moreover, the Meng family has a very high influence in the Great Qin Army, and the marriage with the Meng family also has many benefits for Ying Yu.
"By the way, what do you think of the recent Confucianism?"
After a few cups of tea, Ying Zheng raised his mouth seemingly casually.
Meng Yi's face suddenly became serious.
Although Ying Zheng seemed to speak casually, as a courtier, his answer could not be casual.
The only one who can really speak freely in front of Yingzheng without needing Mr. Gu is the prince alone in the whole of Daqin.
"I think that Confucianism lived too well in the past. Now that they have returned to normal, their mentality is out of balance. It is time to beat them and let them return to the right way."
After a little thought, Meng Yi tentatively opened his mouth.
"how do I say this?"
"It's not in court, just say it boldly, even if I say something wrong, I won't blame it!"
There was a trace of interest on Ying Zheng's face, and he waved Liu Mo and the others back before he spoke.
"That minister said it!"
Meng Yi hesitated a little, then said:
"The fundamental reason why hundreds of schools of thought were able to coexist in the world in the past is that there are many countries in the Central Plains, each with different situations. Just like Confucianism and other theories, even if they are not popular in Daqin, they can be popular in Qichu and other places. Can find a stage for them to play."
"Some rulers, such as Lu Guozheng and other kings, were also deceived by Confucianism. They regarded the so-called great Confucianists as sages and obeyed their words."
"This has also led to these people's self-esteem and lack of awe of the royal power."
"To put it bluntly, I just need to clean up!"
"Nowadays, Daqin emphasizes more practical theories such as Legalism, and Confucianism feels that it has been wronged, so there are many words of dissatisfaction."
"Especially the free education and literacy training in official schools promoted by His Royal Highness, so that everyone in the world can read and write, so that Confucianism no longer has the feeling of being superior in the past, and those old masters will naturally become more yin and yang."
"Actually, few of this group of people are really good things. They all search for one side in the name of Confucian masters, and there are not many good things!"
"This group of people should be beaten hard to convince them before they can feel at ease."
"Now I, Daqin, have no shortage of such dishonest scholars!"
"His Royal Highness is a little kinder to the inside of Daqin."
"Of course, His Majesty has to decide how to proceed. I just need to be a pawn."
Meng Yi poured the real thoughts in his heart into the bamboo tube and poured the beans.
Having followed the First Emperor for many years, Meng Yi knew Ying Zheng's capacity for tolerance, and if he said something in front of Ying Zheng, even if he said something wrong, nothing would happen.
On the contrary, those who are scheming and duplicity are easily disliked by Ying Zheng.
Moreover, Meng Yi has always been loyal to Da Qin, and all his thoughts and thoughts are from Da Qin, so he doesn't have so many scruples.
"That's very good. It would be great if everyone in Daqin could think about the country like Aiqing."
"But one thing, you may still get it wrong."
"The prince is not attacking Confucianism now, not because of any kindness, but because he dug a bigger hole and waits for Confucianism to jump in by himself."
"This kid, he is the one who always takes revenge when he has revenge. I am ashamed to say how much I hold grudges."
"Confucianism is openly clamoring and even insulting. Do you think the prince will make Confucianism feel better?"
"I'll just sit and watch the show."
Ying Zheng laughed.
Meng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Looking forward to the next change in the situation in my heart.
