Qin unified the world, annexed the princes, proclaimed himself emperor in the court, and supported the four seas. Why do all the scholars in the world obey the wind? The answer is: since ancient times, there has been no emperor who unified the world for a long time. The power of the Zhou royal family is very weak. After the five tyrants died one after another, the emperor's orders could not pass through the world. So the princes conquered each other by force, the strong invaded the weak, there were many bullies, the war continued, and the soldiers and civilians were tired. Now southern Qin Huang claims to be the emperor and rules the world, which means that there is a son of heaven in the world. In this way, those poor people all hope to live on him, and no one admires the emperor insincerely. At this time, it is the key to maintain authority and stabilize the results, whether it is stable or dangerous.
With the heart of greed and meanness, the king of Qin only wanted to display his personal wisdom, distrust the heroes, stay away from the people, abandon benevolent governance and kingliness, establish personal authority, ban ancient books and poems, implement cruel and cruel laws, put deceitful power ahead, put benevolence and loyalty behind, and take cruelty as the premise of governing the world. To implement the merger, we should pay attention to bullying the market; To stabilize the country, we should pay attention to timely response: in other words, we cannot seize and protect the world in the same way. After the Warring States period, Qin unified the world, and its route and laws remained unchanged, which was the same as its method of seizing and protecting the world. The king of Qin alone owned the world, so his demise came soon. If the king of Qin can take into account the ancient situation and formulate and implement his own policies according to the road of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, then even if there are arrogant and extravagant monarchs, there will be no disaster of collapse and peril. Therefore, Yu Xia, Shang Tang, Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang have established a country with outstanding names and long-term achievements.
Nowadays, when Qin Ershi ascended the throne, no one in the world craned their necks to see his policies. People who are cold feel good in coarse cloth and short clothes, and people who are hungry feel sweet when they eat bran. The people all over the world wept bitterly because of the righteous act of the new emperor. This means that hard-working people are easy to accept benevolent governance. If II has the virtue of a general, he will employ loyal people, and his subjects will be single-minded and worry about the sufferings of the world. During the mourning period, he will correct the mistakes of the former emperor, cede the land to the people, reward the descendants of the heroes, seal the monarch, treat the sages of the world, release the prisoners from prison, exempt them from punishment, abolish the arbitrary punishment of confiscating their wives and children as official servants, and let the sentenced people return to their hometowns. Open positions and send money to help the poor; Reduce taxes, reduce labor, and help people relieve their urgent needs; Simplify the law, lighten the punishment, give criminals a chance to grasp the future, and let people all over the world turn over a new leaf, correct their evil deeds, and be cautious about themselves; Satisfy everyone's wishes, treat the world with prestige and kindness, and the world will be joined. If all the places in the world are happy to live and work in peace and contentment and are afraid of chaos, then even if there is a traitor and the people have not betrayed the heart of the country, the traitor can't hide his treachery, and the plot of riots can be stopped.
II didn't practice this method, but it was more tyrannical than the first emperor. He rebuilt Epang Palace with more punishments and more severe killings. Officials are harsh and vicious, and rewards and punishments are improper. There are no restrictions on tax investigation, and officials have too many state affairs to manage. The people were extremely poor, but the monarch did not receive relief. Therefore, there have been many incidents of adultery and fraud, and many people have been deceived from top to bottom, and many people have been punished. People who were tortured on the road confronted each other, and people all over the world fell into pain. Everyone from Jun Qing down to ordinary people is in danger, living in poverty, and there is no peace everywhere, so unrest is easy to happen. Therefore, Chen She did not rely on the talents of Shang Tang and Zhou Wuwang, nor did he borrow the dignity of governors. The reason is that people are in danger.
So the ancient holy king can see the changes from beginning to end and know the key to life and death. Therefore, the way to rule the people is to concentrate on stabilizing them. In this way, even if there are rebellious courtiers in the world, there will be no response and no help. The so-called "people in a stable state can be righteous with others, and people in distress are easy to do bad things together", that is to say, this situation. Noble enough to be the son of heaven, rich enough to own the world, but unable to avoid being killed, that is because the way to save the overthrown situation is wrong. This is II's fault.
