Chapter 200: A coincidence

An icy winter rain drizzled at midnight.

The rain hit the blue-gray steps, and water droplets splashed everywhere. In the sky, dark clouds were rolling. The clouds were very low and seemed to fall down at any time, like a black mountain pressing over Wan County. The bright moon was gone, making people feel depressed.

Liu Kan sat on the porch wearing a big robe and curled her legs.

Put your hands together on your chest, like an old monk who has entered into meditation, motionless.

According to Liu Kan's vague memories of his previous life, burning books and burying scholars appeared at the end of the First Emperor. It seemed that shortly after that, the First Emperor died and the world was in chaos since then. But according to his calculations, it should be the heyday of the First Emperor, why did this book burning incident occur? Well, it seems that there has been no burying scholars yet... But since books have been burned, I guess this burying scholars will not be too far away.

It seems that there seems to be some errors in the calculation of time!

If Liu Kan calculated in the northern border, the burning of books and burying scholars should have appeared four or five years later. Because Hu Hai was only eight or nine years old this year. If the book burning incident occurred at this time, wouldn’t it mean that when Hu Hai ascended the throne, there should be only thirteen or fourteen?

This seems to be a little different from what Liu Kan knew in his previous life.

In other words, there are errors in the historical books of later generations...

If it were the latter, then this period of time that was not well understood would become more difficult to control.

Liu Kan has always been following the direction of history carefully. Because he was worried that once he exceeded the scope of what he knew, his initiative would be lost. But now, if the history he knew was originally wrong, then what he had previously called following would become meaningless. Thinking of this, Liu Kan couldn't help but feel a headache and sat there in contemplation.

"Prince!"

Kuai Che walked over and sat down on the threshold.

Liu Kan raised her head, "How is it, have you found out clearly?"

Kuai Che nodded and said, "I've found out clearly... On October 1st, Your Majesty invited all the ministers to celebrate the sanction of the war between the two borders.

His Majesty invited more than seventy doctors.

However, during the meal, doctor Chunyu Yue had an argument with Pushe Zhou Qingchen, and later it affected the court guard Li Si. Chunyu Yue insisted on asking His Majesty to restore the ancient system of feudal division, and even alluded Li Si to the powerful minister. Later, Li Si had a fierce quarrel with those Confucian scholars from Qi.

A few days after this incident, Li Si submitted a report to Your Majesty. He believed that in the past, the princes fought against each other, each had their own country, recruiting talents, which led to the atmosphere of private school and study abroad, and then various schools of thought appeared... But now, the Qin Dynasty unified the world, and laws came out one after another. However, scholars from various sects still held ancient books, made random comments, and confused the public, which made the people doubt the government orders.

Whenever a new policy appears, it will be refuted by old knowledge and classics. What's more, these people gather together to refute government orders as a means to earn reputation. This kind of thing often happens in the market, making it difficult for many government orders to be implemented smoothly..."

October 1st is the first day of the Qin Dynasty’s New Year!

The war between the two borders was quelled, and the First Emperor invited these Confucian scholars just to make them praise me. I was afraid that this would be the result.

In fact, scholars rely on confronting the court to earn fame and show their character, have emerged one after another since ancient times.

Liu Kan didn't find it strange. On the contrary, he agreed with Li Si's statement, but the book burning... was a little over!

Countless treasures of Chinese civilization have been lost in this disaster!

Liu Kan suddenly said, "Old Kuai, please let Wang Xin and Han Xin set off immediately and go day and night. Be sure to rush back to Lou Cang before the edict arrives at Lou Cang. Let Wang Xintong know and let him immediately make arrangements and cooperate with the county magistrate to confiscate the folk books."

"ah?"

Kuai Che couldn't help but shout, looking at Liu Kan in surprise.

But Liu Kan seemed to be unaware of it, staring at the rain curtain dripping down the eaves, and said to himself: "Let Daozi free up a small warehouse in the farmland, and all the collected books will be stored in secret... Well, let Daozi tell the Zhuang County Magistrate that the confiscation operation in the Sihong area will be carried out by the Lou Cang. As for the burning, I think Daozi should know what to do and no longer have to worry about it."

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Kuai Che's face.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "The Duwei's move is a great measure to benefit the world. I don't know what to say, but I can only give thanks to the Duwei for the scholars on behalf of the world."

Liu Kan knew very well why Kuai Che had such a move.

If these books could be preserved, it would undoubtedly make the scholars in the world grateful. However, Liu Kan was also very clear that just by his personal ability, it would be a drop in the bucket. How old is Sihong? But how huge is the territory of the Great Qin?

If you can exert one point of force, just exert one point of force!

Liu Kan thought for a while, turned around and walked into the room.

He lit the lamp, took out the paper and pen from his bag, and after pondering for a moment, he quickly wrote.

In a short while, Kuai Che came back.

"The commander, Wang Xin and Han Xin have already set off. They are all one person and two-way trips. It is estimated that they will be able to reach the Lou Cang within ten days... Alas, I hope it will be too late."

Liu Kan seemed to have not heard Kuai Che's words. After blowing the ink marks dry, he carefully folded them up. He took out a letter tube and put the letter in. He put a hot paint seal on the seal and handed it to Kuai Che.

"Immediately send someone to Yiling to catch up with Ba Chang. Tell Ba Chang that the things in the box were urgent and 100,000 yuan. Ask him to send someone to Jiangzhou in an expedited manner of 600 miles and hand it over to Miss Man. Tell Miss Man, please give her this matter."

Although it did not explain what was in the bamboo tube, Kuai Che's intelligence could still guess a little.

Liu Kan wanted to collect the books through the Qin family's strength in Bashu. Without saying a word, Kuai Che took the bamboo tube and turned around and left. Liu Kan got up and walked out of the room, sat on the porch again, and looked at the dark night covered by the hazy drizzle, and fell into deep thought again.

Construction has not started yet!

The incident of burying scholars has not yet happened...

But how much time is left for himself? He can no longer calculate it clearly.

However, the almost suffocating sense of urgency became heavier and heavier. Liu Kan closed her eyes, but her mind was already in chaos.

The edict of burning books was issued, shocked and panicked the people of the world.

The people's resentment towards Lao Qin deepened a lot overnight. Especially those scholars, they gritted their teeth in their hearts. Soon after, another big thing happened in Xianyang. More than 20 doctors led by Pushe Chunyu Yue escaped from Xianyang overnight because they were dissatisfied with the imperial edict of the First Emperor and disappeared. This incident also made the First Emperor Ying Zheng angry.

When Liu Kan heard the news, she had already entered Nanjun.

At first hearing the news, his first reaction was: to bury scholars!

But when I thought about it, it seemed that the incident of burying scholars in my memory was not because of this. So I asked carefully, and after learning that although the First Emperor was very angry about it, he did not take too much action, a heart that was hanging finally fell back into his stomach.

If a burial of scholars really happens, he will have less time!

Although it is impossible to determine how long the First Emperor can live, Liu Kan has regarded the two things of burying scholars and the Great Wall as one coordinate. In addition, Liu Kan finally knew one thing: it turns out that burning books and burying scholars is not one thing, but two independent events...

Well, no matter whether this book burning and burying scholars appears or not, the next thing to do is to meet Qin Qing as soon as possible.

So Liu Kan urged the troops to speed up. In just a few days, he arrived in Yiling.

The president of the Ba was ready. As soon as Liu Kan and others arrived, they immediately boarded the ship and set off, went upstream and headed straight for Jiangzhou.

Liu Kan also swam across the Three Gorges in his previous life. However, the scenery of the Three Gorges, which lasted for two thousand years, seems to be more moving than the scenery in later generations.

However, when there was something wrong in mind, Liu Kan lost the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

After more than ten days of sailing, he finally arrived at the destination of Liu Kan's trip, Jiangzhou.

This Jiangzhou is Chongqing, which is later generations. Although it has entered the cold winter, the climate of Jiangzhou is particularly warm. At least it is much warmer than southern Xinjiang. When Liu Kan arrived in Jiangzhou, it was drizzling. The rain was so sad that it was like a light fog covering the sky above Jiangzhou City. There is a saying that "The night rain in Bashan rises in autumn pond", which is a bit graceful even in the daytime.

Qin Man and his guards were waiting early at Jiangzhou Wharf.

The moment Liu Kan's Xiongkui's figure appeared at the bow of the ship, Qin Man suddenly felt happy, took two steps forward, and waved at Liu Kan.

Liu Kan naturally saw Qin Man too!

He was vaguely dressed in white, covered with a cloak, and held a bamboo trouser in his hand. He looked particularly delicate in the drizzle.

He couldn't help but feel much more relaxed in his heart. He strode off the boat and came to Qin Man. Neither of them spoke, but just looked at each other silently. All the words seemed a little redundant at this moment... After a long time, Qin Man said: "Kan...Master, thank you all the way!"

There were already carriages waiting on the pier.

After Liu Kan and Qin Man got on the bus, they slowly walked towards Jiangzhou City surrounded by everyone.

In the car, Qin Man said, "Akan, I need to tell you something. This time, you may have to stay in Jiangzhou for a longer time."

Liu Kan was stunned, "Stay for a while?"

Qin Man nodded and said seriously: "Things have changed a little... My grandmother was summoned by His Majesty a month ago and set off for Xianyang ten days ago. Before leaving, my grandmother asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. She also said that she would wait here and she would rush back to Jiangzhou as soon as possible... In addition, my grandmother went to Xianyang and brought the gift you gave her last time, saying that she would wait for an opportunity to present it to His Majesty."

"ah?"

For some reason, when Liu Kan heard the news, she couldn't help feeling a sense of regret.

Unexpectedly, I rushed to the scene and finally didn't meet Qin Qing. Although I could see it in a while, I felt a little throbbing in my heart.

Liu Kan couldn't explain the reason, but he had a vague premonition.

"A Kan, are you unhappy?"

Seeing that Liu Kan didn't speak for a long time, Qin Man couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
