Chapter 1,499 Book Burning

Of course, strictly speaking, Gu Xun's operation is... wrong. Even if it is not strict, it is still considered an act of rebellion.

The only difference between him and the Mo family is that he will not be on the wanted list.

So originally Gu Xun had no intention of letting Fusu get involved, so Liusha settled the matter privately.

However, since Fusu took the initiative to talk to him about this matter, Gu Xun followed suit and changed his mind, deciding to let Fusu handle the matter himself.

Anyway, the operation is not difficult, just let yourself, as a student, get used to the feeling of rebelling against your own family in advance.

"How about it, do you want to take over?" Gu Xun looked at Fusu with a smile and confirmed to him.

"Student...are willing to give it a try." Fusu accepted the task after hesitating for a moment. The burning of books was really unacceptable to him and he had to find a way to stop it no matter what.

"Yes." Gu Xun nodded, "When the matter with Songhai comes to an end, you can start making preparations."

"However... this matter was promoted by Li Si, and the biggest obstacle to its implementation is Little Saint Xian Manor."

"You are in Songhai, and you will inevitably be bothered by him about this matter for a while."

"Li Si is indeed..." Fusu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's not difficult to deal with it."

Fusu now truly understood why his teacher said that Li Si was a ruthless person not long ago.

It's really cruel!

Quietly, it actually contributed to such an earth-shattering event.

Gu Xun patted Fusu's shoulder and finally asked, "Okay, is there anything else?"

Fusu shook his head and said, "Teacher, please make a trip."

Gu Xun waved his hand casually and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll leave if nothing happens."

"Your affairs in Songhai are almost over, and I still have a bad debt to settle with your teacher."

After saying that, Gu Xun ignored the surprise on Fusu's face and left.

Fusu, who was left confused, secretly wondered what Sanghai could do to embarrass his teacher.

………………

"Master Li, this is an urgent and confidential letter just sent from Xianyang. Please take a look." Fusu pointed to the scroll on the table and said to Li Si.

The venue remains the same, it's still Fusu's study, but the people in the room have been replaced by Fusu and Li Si, and only one of the two scrolls on the desk is left - there is no need to talk to Li Si about the Northland matter.

.

The reason why a copy of the urgent letter from the North was sent to Songhai was because the counties in the North were all governed by Fusu in recent years and had nothing to do with Li Si.

Hearing this, Li Si took a few steps forward to take the scroll, then stepped back and unfolded it to take a look. His eyebrows relaxed at first, and then showed a serious expression, as if he had no knowledge of this matter at all, and said slowly:

"This move is a long-lasting achievement. I'm afraid that the people in the world will not understand His Majesty the Emperor's good intentions."

"Especially... Confucianism!"

Facing Li Si, Fusu acted very calmly, as if he had no objection to the book-burning order at all, and responded lightly:

"The Confucian reaction is bound to be fierce. I have my own considerations in this regard."

"However, my father's attitude is also very clear. This matter must be done and there is no room for error."

"So, Mr. Li, let's go ahead and do it."

Fusu handed over the task to Li Si - this was not considered a scapegoat, because Ying Zheng had arranged this matter for Prime Minister Li Si to do.

Fusu Gui is the eldest son, and his status is only respected. It is not his turn to take charge of the internal affairs of the court, especially such a big matter - this would be possible if it were a matter of the counties in the north.

Li Siye happily accepted this task, but he wouldn't feel at ease if it were handed over to someone else!

"Don't worry, sir, Li Si will make arrangements immediately."

"But over there at Little Saint Xian Manor..."

"Little Saint's Manor..." Fusu knocked on the table twice and calmly ordered, "According to the original plan, let's go and pay a formal visit first."

"Wei Chen understands and will arrange for a messenger to go to Little Saint Xian Manor."

………………

Turn around and see the gate of Xiaoshengxian Village.

In front of the closed vermilion main door, a tall and dark figure sat cross-legged, blocking the middle.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the Confucian door opened inward, he would have been blocked and unable to open it.

This burly man is the messenger sent by Li Si, and his specific identity... you can tell by looking at the door panel sword behind him, Sheng Qi!

Now he is forced to be driven by the empire, and Li Si can certainly instigate it.

It's hard to say that Li Si didn't have some personal emotions involved in sending such a rough and bellicose man to deliver greetings to Confucianism.

But it's also a courtesy - I told you in advance that I came with bad intentions, which is a kind reminder.

In the small sage's villa, in the pavilion by the lake, brothers Fu Nianyan, Lu and Zhang Liang got together for a rare moment and were playing chess.

Two chessboards, two sets of chess pieces, two games of chess.

Fu Nian was alone and playing chess with his two junior brothers, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang.

"Senior Brother, what is the person blocking the door doing?" Zhang Liang asked knowingly while making his move.

Fu Nian picked up a white piece, threw it onto Yan Lu's side of the chessboard, and responded in a calm tone, "A messenger."

"The eldest son Fusu will come to visit Xiaoshengxian Manor in person soon. He was sent by Prime Minister Li Si to deliver a message."

"Oh... shouldn't it be time to leave after delivering the letter? Why are you still blocking the door?"

Fu Nian threw another white stone in response to Zhang Liang's previous move, and then replied, "I don't know either."

"He refused to leave or enter the academy, so he stubbornly stayed there."

"Anyone who comes is a guest, and Little Sage Village cannot send him away."

Yan Lu on the side dropped a sunspot and said with a smile, "This Mr. Shengqi is also an interesting person."

"If the second senior brother finds this person interesting, then I will definitely know more about him later." Zhang Liang followed suit and said with a smile.

Zhang Liang really wanted to know more about Sheng Qi.

He felt that this abandoned farmer might be worth investing in.

Fu Nian responded while playing chess, "After all, he is a subordinate of the Prime Minister, so it's better for the son to be more careful."

Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this, picked up a chess piece, and responded to Fu Nian:

"Compared to me, senior brother should pay attention to himself first."

"You are already under attack from both sides, so you must be careful."

Saying that, he dropped the chess piece.

Judging from the situation on the two chessboards, Fu Nian was indeed attacked from both sides. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was attacked from both sides and was attacked from both sides.

But Fu Nian knew without thinking that what Zhang Liang was talking about was definitely not a chess game.

"How can you see that?" Fu Nian made a move and at the same time picked up a sunspot that was surrounded by him on the chessboard, and asked calmly.

"Senior brother, do you know anything about the assassination of Haiyue Xiaozhu that happened not long ago?" Zhang Liang asked without answering.

Fu Nian nodded slightly, "I know, what's wrong?"

"This case also involves Young Master Fusu, Prime Minister Li Si, and even the Shadow Guard and Luo Sheng. The case is complicated and confusing, and it comes at a time when undercurrents are surging."

"Fusu is visiting Xiaoshengxian Manor at this time, and Li Si also sent such a... special messenger to deliver the greetings. The purpose of this is really thought-provoking!"
