"Kong Jia?"

Qin Shihuang showed a trace of doubt,

"Shouldn't he be at Langerzhuangzi now? Why did he come to the palace so late?"

Zhao Gao said at this time,

"Your Majesty, do you want him to come in quickly?"

Zhao Gao knew that Qin Shihuang had wanted to conquer Confucianism for a long time.

Qin Shihuang thought for a moment, then sat down leisurely and said,

"Why are you so anxious? Since this old guy is asking to see you all night long, it means he has something urgent to do."

"It's him who should be anxious."

Qin Shihuang had not forgotten that he had been rejected several times before.

Zhao Gao said with a smile,

"Your Majesty is wise and should let that old guy wait."

Qin Shihuang snorted and ordered,

"Go and get some more printed paper. I want to see what this old guy can do to fight me with these things!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao took the order and left.

Soon, night falls.

The night in spring is still a bit cold.

Kong Jia stood in front of the palace gate, wearing only a single piece of clothing. He knew exactly why.

Qin Shihuang summoned him to the palace several times, but he never responded, but now he came back with a revenge.

Hum, a tyrant is indeed a tyrant.

After waiting for nearly an hour, a waiter hurried over and said,

"The First Emperor summoned Confucian Kong Jia!"

Only then did Kong Jia drag his body, which was slightly stiff from the cold, to follow.

When he arrived at the door of a palace, the chamberlain made an announcement, and then Kong Jia entered.

As soon as he entered the door, a warm air rushed towards him, warming his body.

Looking up, he saw a tall figure wearing an imperial crown, sitting at the top, looking at him majestically.

Kong Jia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"Confucian Kong Jia, I have met Your Majesty."

Confucians have Confucian pride. As the head of Confucianism, he will not surrender.

Qin Shihuang's eyes flashed with displeasure, this thing is really stubborn!

But there was a smile on his face,

"Mr. Kong, why are you so anxious and asking for a meeting late at night? I have already rested."

Kong Jia said without humility,

"Your Majesty, I asked to see you an hour ago."

Qin Shi Huang was slightly surprised and said,

"Is this really happening? Zhao Gao, go check it out. Why didn't you come and inform me earlier!"

Zhao Gao nodded in agreement, pretended to go outside, and then returned to Qin Shihuang to whisper.

After Qin Shihuang heard this, he said,

"It turns out that the guard said before that there was an old man who was causing mischief outside the palace gate. It turned out to be you."

"Hey, why didn't Mr. Kong reveal his identity earlier?"

"This is a misunderstanding, isn't it?"

Kong Jia looked at Qin Shihuang with the paper he used to request an audience in front of him, and said nothing.

But it said,

"He is old and stupid."

Seeing that the other party relented, Qin Shihuang said,

"Mr. Kong has been wronged. Zhao Gao, why don't you give him a seat as soon as possible?"

Zhao Gao then moved a seat for kneeling.

"Sir, why did you come here late at night?"

Qin Shihuang said calmly at this time.

Kong Jia looked solemn and was about to take out his letter.

Above is a comparison of part of the compiled text and the regular characters.

At this moment, a chamberlain came in carrying a tray and was about to place it in front of Qin Shihuang, but something happened.

Suddenly, he slipped and fell to the ground, and the contents of the tray flew out.

In an instant, sheets of paper printed with exactly the same words fell all over the sky.

Naturally, a lot of paper fell in front of Kong Jia, so he picked up a few pieces of paper.

Feel the texture of the paper, and then look at the exact same words on it.

Kong Jia couldn't help but feel excited!

At that time, he roughly guessed it after seeing what Qin Shihuang gave him.

That’s why I agreed to teach at Zhao Lang’s Zhuangzi.

But now I can see with my own eyes that there is actually such a fast and accurate way to make books in this world.

He almost cried with joy.

No matter what, he must get this method!

He just looked up and saw Qin Shihuang looking at him indifferently.

Kong Jia suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured on his head!

In an instant, he figured out what Qin Shihuang had done.

He was deliberately frozen to tire out his muscles and bones, and the attendant fell down to mess with his mind!

This has been a war from the beginning, and this paper is Qin Shihuang's weapon!

How perfect the paper is, how sharp this weapon is!

If he really had no preparations, Confucianism today would have no choice but to surrender!

After thinking about all this, Kong Jia was suddenly sweating from behind.

"My inability to discipline him made Mr. Kong laugh."

Qin Shihuang said lightly at this time,

"Fortunately, these things are not precious. I can have as much as I want."

“Print whatever you want to print.”

"Military strategists, legalists, farmers...anyone can do it."

Every word spoken by Qin Shihuang was like sharp arrows piercing Kong Jia's body.

Kong Jia managed to calm down, picked up a piece of paper and said,

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but this thing is not without its shortcomings."

Qin Shihuang only thought that the other party was being tough and snorted coldly,

"Oh? Sir, please tell me."

Kong Jia said,

"The writing is complicated, and at a quick glance, there are several places that are unclear."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang frowned slightly.

Because what Kong Jia said was indeed correct, and he had already seen this problem.

But this compilation has been improved by Li Si.

At this time, Kong Jia opened the bamboo slip in his hand and said,

"Recently, I have worked with a young man who can be described as an unparalleled genius to simplify these compiled texts!"

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Qin Shihuang was stunned and said,

"Send it up!"

Zhao Gao sent the bamboo slips to Qin Shihuang and looked at the concise and elegant words on them, which seemed to be natural.

Qin Shihuang's face gradually turned ugly.

He didn't expect that the other party actually had a back-up plan!

And it was so immortal that it hit his weak spot just right!

Kong Jia took the opportunity to say,

"If I am not old enough, I will gather all the Confucian scholars from all over the world to jointly study and promote this text!"

Qin Shihuang said directly and coldly,

"Simplify the text, it's not that simple."

"By the time you simplify it, I will have already printed books from various schools all over the world!"

"When the time comes, I want to see where there is a place for your Confucianism to survive!"

Faced with the threat, Kong Jia did not panic and laughed loudly,

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but the genius I mentioned was able to simplify these words within half a year!"

Kong Jia has also noticed these days that Zhao Lang seems to be extremely talented at simplifying words.

Qin Shihuang was greatly shocked and said with a bit of anger,

"Bullshit! Why didn't I know that your Confucian family has such a great Confucian!"

Seeing Qin Shihuang's shocked look, Kong Jia smiled even happier,

"I would also like to thank Your Majesty. This extraordinary genius is none other than the master of Zhuangzi whom Your Majesty asked me to go to!"

"Lao Chan's current introductory disciple!"

"Zhao Lang is right!"

Kong Jia was not worried about exposing Zhao Lang's identity at all.

Just like him, Qin Shi Huang could put him under house arrest, but he would never kill him!

Because for Confucians, the greater the reputation, the safer it is.
