"It's great! This is life, but it's a pity..." Qin Shihuang, who had enjoyed one-stop service, sighed quietly while lying on the recliner.

"What's a pity?" Yang Mu asked with a smile.

"It's a pity that I can't stay here for a long time. I still have a lot of troubles to deal with at home." Qin Shihuang sighed.

"Your Majesty, the First Emperor, there is no need to sigh. Everything has its own context. All you need to do is control the context and then use appropriate means." Yang Mu said unhurriedly.

"Oh, you know my identity?" Qin Shihuang smiled.

"These are the beauties given to me by Your Majesty. Seeing their attitude towards Your Majesty, I would be disrespectful of my wisdom if I could not recognize Your Majesty's identity." Yang Mu pointed to the two beauties serving Qin Shihuang, and then

He pointed to his head and said.

"Hahahaha!" Qin Shihuang couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

During the Qin Dynasty, courtiers did not need to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, but only bowed to him. They only knelt down during major ceremonies. After the Manchus settled in the Central Plains, in order to completely enslave the common people, they knelt before officials.

"Do you, a member of your family of doctors, know how to govern a country?" He looked at Yang Mu with interest.

"Having seen a lot, I naturally understand a little bit. If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, but if you believe only, you will be concealed. I don't ask your Majesty to approve your thoughts. I just ask your Majesty to learn from them. If what I say is right and can be of help to Your Majesty, then

Your Majesty, just listen to it. If what I say is wrong, your Majesty will listen to it as a joke and try to adjust your mood." Yang Mu still said in a leisurely tone.

Everything Yang Mu did was to be able to speak to the First Emperor alone in a very relaxed environment at this time. The people of this era were too miserable, and what Yang Mu had to do was to make it as easy as possible for the people.

"Oh?" Qin Shihuang was somewhat interested. He couldn't help but sit upright to show his respect for Yang Mu, and then said seriously: "I would like to hear your advice."

"Doctors pay attention to prescribing the right medicine. The same goes for governing a country. We also need to prescribe the right medicine. Therefore, we must first find out where the crux of the country is. Of course, this is just a description. To be specific, your Majesty must first understand who is the enemy and who is the enemy.

He is one of our own." Yang Mu said.

"Oh? According to what Your Excellency said, who is the enemy? Who is one of our own?" Qin Shihuang's interest began to be aroused by Yang Mu.

"Let's talk about the enemies first. Naturally, they are the remaining nobles of the six countries, the conservative forces in the country, the civil and military officials in the court, and the various schools of thought." Yang Mu said.

"What is the explanation for this?" Qin Shihuang frowned. Qin Shihuang understood the first two items, and Qin Shihuang could also understand them, but how could the civil and military officials in the court be enemies?

Yang Mu laughed silently, frowning showed that Qin Shihuang was thinking, and asking questions showed that Qin Shihuang was seeking knowledge.

"The remaining nobles of the six countries are determined to restore their country. Needless to say, they are naturally enemies;"

"The conservative forces in the country are naturally because His Majesty has touched their interests. According to their ideas, His Majesty rules the world, so they naturally have to imitate the emperor Zhou's move of enfeoffing eight hundred princes. They can become a prince in their own way by changing their identity.

The fief can do whatever they want."

"However, Your Majesty has adopted the system of prefectures and counties. Even if those conservative forces in the country hold high positions and hold great power, they will be controlled by others, controlled by Your Majesty, and controlled by Qin law. Of course, they do not want to be bound by this, so they naturally oppose it.

Your Majesty. It’s just that their opposition is of the soft-knife type. They won’t oppose it openly, but will only do it secretly.”

"If they can't obtain the benefits they need from His Majesty, they will start from His Majesty's heirs. I have also heard of Mr. Fusu's temperament. He is more than capable of maintaining success but not aggressive enough. If our Great Qin Empire has been established for many generations, it will be as stable as a rock.

A conservative monarch like Mr. Fusu is not a bad idea, but at this time, China is experiencing great changes that have not happened in thousands of years, and it is necessary to have a monarch like His Majesty sitting in command to deter those ambitious people."

"If a conservative king like Mr. Fusu is in charge, nothing will happen. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the situation of dominating the world will reappear in the Warring States Period. However, how can nothing happen? There are survivors from the six countries outside looking at them eagerly.

, there are conservative forces inside that are ready to move. If the wave of enfeoffment is set off again, and the character of Mr. Su is conservative, the result can be imagined."

"I have never been afraid to speculate on them with the greatest malice. I would venture to guess that they have some credit for this." Yang Mu said eloquently.

At this time, Qin Shihuang's face was extremely serious, and his body was sitting more and more upright.

"Hiss~ Why didn't I think of it? I originally thought that Fusu was trained to have such a weak temper by Confucianism, but I didn't expect that there were actually domestic conservative forces adding fuel to the flames." Qin Shihuang murmured in his heart.

"Sir's words are deafening. Please tell me clearly why all the civil and military officials in the court are my enemies?" Qin Shihuang said with a serious salute.

Yang Mu smiled even happier in her heart and even called her sir. Qin Shihuang had listened to her words.

"Let's not talk about whose interests the civil and military officials in the court represent. Let's first talk about humans. What are humans? From a biological perspective, humans are hairless animals that can walk upright. The most essential difference between humans and beasts

It’s not about knowing etiquette and observing moral integrity as Confucianism talks about. The essential difference between humans and beasts is that humans can make tools and use them according to their own needs.”

"Your Majesty has seen wild beasts fighting each other with claws and claws, but you have never seen wild beasts holding swords to chop each other, right?"

Qin Shihuang's eyes brightened even more when he heard Yang Mu's argument, and then he smiled. From a certain perspective, Yang Mu's argument overturned some Confucian principles. Qin Shihuang had never seen wild animals holding swords to chop each other.

“Human beings are good at using tools and making tools to achieve their own goals, and can use advanced means such as intimidation, deception, and alliances to obtain benefits in battles with other similar species. Therefore, human beings are essentially political animals.

"

"And what is politics? Politics is compromise and concession within the scope permitted by law. In a broader sense, the essence of politics is power, which is a certain degree of ideological control over individuals or society."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then what is the essence of power? Power is not a position that can give you honor or disgrace with just a piece of paper, nor is it the pleasure of behavior that allows you to realize a certain value in life.

.The essence of power is to see the extent to which you can influence and control the spiritual life of others and even the entire society." Yang Mu was still talking.

Qin Shihuang's face became even more serious, because no one had ever analyzed the nature of power and the nature of man from such a perspective.

"Where does the power come from? From Your Majesty, and where does His Majesty's power come from? From the army! The emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses. Therefore, Your Majesty, never give up the military power in your hands at any time, or even let the military power have power.

Just a little bit." Yang Mu said tightly.

Qin Shihuang nodded with deep understanding. When Qin Shihuang ascended the throne as King of Qin, it was not all smooth sailing. He had experienced the Lao-Ai Rebellion, Lu Buwei's hegemony, etc., so he naturally knew the importance of military power.

"The Chinese civil and military officials exercise the power given by His Majesty. Without Your Majesty, they are nothing, so they do anything and everything for power. Some people are desperately loyal to Your Majesty for the sake of power, and some people,

It is about joining together to form a huge official class, such as ministers, scholar-bureaucrats and other aristocratic classes."

"They hugged each other tightly. It would be fine if His Majesty's orders and policies of governing the country did not harm their interests. Once they harmed their interests, they would naturally arouse their resistance. Even if they did not harm their interests, they would still use

Opportunities to exercise power are desperately seeking benefits for themselves and even their own class. The more their benefits are, the less your Majesty’s interests will be. Your Majesty can probably imagine what the consequences will be.

."

"The question is, are there more people who are desperately loyal to His Majesty, or are there more people who work together to secretly resist His Majesty?" Yang Mu said.

Qin Shihuang didn't say a word. It was obvious that there was a large group of people holding together, and this was for historical reasons.

"Finally, let's talk about the hundreds of schools of thought. In fact, there is no need to elaborate on the hundreds of schools of thought. Your Majesty is well aware that the hundreds of schools of thought may have had good intentions at the beginning, but now, the hundreds of schools of thought have become their own.

It is a tool used by the group to seek power and interests." Yang Mu said slowly.
