Chapter 293: Have you ever remembered the beginning of the founding of the country?!
Doctoral Palace.
Chang He informed Kong Kun of the inquiry.
However, he chose to conceal the mistakes caused by his own negligence, and did not really tell the truth. He only talked about Qin Luoheng in general or made some guesses, and then told Wei Jiu everything he said.
Hear the words.
Kong Yu's face changed slightly.
He repeated the question several times to make sure that those words really came from Wei Jiu's mouth, and then with a gloomy face, he waved to Chang He, signaling him to leave first.
After Chang He walked away, Kong Kun's face immediately dropped.
He said with a livid face and an uneasy look: "Fortunately, I paid attention, otherwise there might have been a big problem. But how did Qin Luoheng know about it? He has been in Xianyang recently and has almost no contact with the outside world. He
How do you know about local affairs?"
There was a hint of doubt in Kong Yu's eyes.
He actually thought that Wei Jiu was lying, but as Wei Jiu's son, there was no reason for Wei Jiu to deceive himself on this matter. After all, when it came to private studies, they were actually grasshoppers on a string.
damage.
If something happens to Confucianism, the nobles of the six countries will not be able to escape.
The reason why private schools expanded so rapidly is because of the strong help from the nobles of the six countries. If this matter is really known to the court, after a thorough investigation, not a single one of the Confucianists and nobles of the six countries can escape.
Kong Yu thought for a moment.
A choice has already been made in my mind.
When it breaks, it breaks.
He decided to take Zixiang's advice and abandon his already eye-catching private education. Then he realized a very serious problem.
He didn't know where Qin Luoheng was aware of the private school.
Kong Yu's face darkened.
a long time.
He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "This guy has ruined all the good things of our Confucian family. Didn't he die in the first place? Why can he come back to life? And he is so prejudiced against our Confucian family. Everything he does is to destroy our Confucian family."
To death!"
"This kid is really hateful!"
"The private school must not be exposed at the moment, but I don't know where Qin Luoheng knows about the private school. This is a tricky matter. We can only wait for Brother Xiang to come back and let him make the decision."
Kong Yu took a deep breath to calm down his angry mood.
Not long after.
Zixiang hurried back to the doctor's academy.
He has not been idle during this period, he has been busy walking around with the new officials. At this moment, his face is a little heavy, obviously he has heard some unfavorable news.
Enter the academy.
When Kong Yu saw Zi Xiang, he said in a solemn voice: "Brother Xiang, there may be changes in the matter of private study."
Zixiang looked grave and said: "Brother, what news did you find out?"
Kong Yu said: "Didn't you ask me to inquire about the information from the nobles of the Six Kingdoms? I sent people to inquire this morning, and most of them were not noticed. However, when I inquired about the information from the Wei Mansion, Wei Jiu said that Qin
Luo Heng specifically tested this matter this morning."
"He may have guessed a thing or two."
"Brother Xiang, what do you think of Wei Jiu's words?"
Zixiang frowned and said in confusion: "Wei Jiu? Qin Luoheng? If I remember correctly, none of the newly promoted officials in the court were from Wei, so there should be no possibility of Wei's private education being exposed, and Qin Luoheng
How did Heng know this?"
Kong Yu said:
"I'm weird too."
"Logically speaking, it is impossible for Qin Luoheng to know, and even if he really wants to inquire, he should not go to the Wei Mansion to inquire. How can he find out the truth by going to the mansion of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms?"
"Brother Xiang, maybe Wei Jiu is lying?!"
Zixiang's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He paced back and forth in the room, frowning, thinking for a long time, shaking his head and saying: "This matter is probably Wei Jiu's thinking. In the past few months, the nobles of the six countries have been acting strangely. They may be plotting something secretly.
Qin Luoheng noticed it, so he wanted to divert the trouble eastward and let us attract Qin Luoheng's attention."
"It should be so." Kong Yu said.
immediately.
Zixiang shook his head again.
He hesitated and said:
"But it's not absolute."
"I've actually been paying attention to Qin Luoheng."
"He recently visited Huafu. Huaji, the son of Huafu, came back from Xue County. Huaji probably noticed something and informed Qin Luoheng about it."
Kong Yu was stunned.
There was a hint of concentration in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice:
"What should I do?"
"Qin Luoheng is the tenth son of the Qin Dynasty. Although his name and identity have not been corrected, the First Emperor often visited him in the past. If he informs the First Emperor of this matter, he might really be able to find out something."
Zixiang put his forehead on his forehead and said:
"I'm worried about this too."
"Hua Ji has just joined the post of Censor, and has not yet established a firm foothold in the court. Although his father helps him take care of things, it will take time, and the Censor's Office handles many things on a daily basis. Hua Ji has no conclusive evidence.
It is difficult to mobilize manpower to conduct a thorough investigation, but that is not the case for Qin Luoheng."
"His identity is here."
"If it is really revealed inadvertently, it may be really bad."
"and......"
Zixiang looked around and suddenly lowered his voice.
He said: "I visited many newly promoted officials earlier. Yin Tong, the original governor of Kuaiji County, is now the left prisoner of Tingwei Mansion. He accidentally revealed that the matter of private Confucian studies has been discussed in many places.
The officials noticed it, but it hasn't affected the court yet."
"But I'm afraid this will be exposed sooner or later!"
Hear the words.
Kong Yu's face changed slightly.
He said in panic:
"Brother Xiang, what should we do?"
"Private education is strictly prohibited by the imperial court. If the imperial court finds out, I'm afraid that both you and me will suffer. Our life and death is a small matter, but the destruction of Confucius is a big matter. We must not let anything happen to this!"
Zixiang looked solemn and said:
"I know."
"In fact, exposure is doomed."
"There are only so many local things. If private schools are not rampant, they can indeed be inconspicuous. But now the number of private schools has exceeded 100 and is still increasing. The local officials are not blind. They must have noticed it. Now
So it’s okay, mainly because the nobles of the six countries are helping each other, and also because the local officials are at odds with Xianyang.”
"But sooner or later, officials will come to the rescue!"
"There is only one thing we can do now."
"drag!"
"As long as we delay it long enough and wait until Confucianism has completely taken root in the local area, even if the court blames it, Confucianism will be injured at most, but it will definitely not lead to death."
"I just thought about it carefully."
"We don't need to worry too much about Qin Luoheng."
"He has nothing to fear."
"He is indeed the tenth son of the Qin Dynasty, but he has been banned by the First Emperor. It may be difficult for him to come to the doctor's academy in the short term. And since he has not restored his status, his influence on court officials is limited. The troublesome thing now is actually sending letters to China.
, Yin Tong and others."
It is a matter of life and death for Confucianism.
Zixiang seemed extremely calm.
He had sorted out the stakes and priorities, and said in an orderly manner: "I communicated with Yin Tong today. This person is good at dancing and does not want to offend my Confucianism, so he secretly leaked this information to me. But Hua Ji is different."
"His wife is Qin Luoheng's close relative."
"Washington has always advocated for Qin Luoheng to ascend to the throne."
"And our Confucian family used to rely on the eldest son. In order to weaken the power of the eldest son and suppress our Confucian family, once he secures his position as censor, he may start secret investigations. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
, if he really goes to investigate, he will definitely find something."
"And it's not easy for us to take precautions."
"Many of the Guanzhong clan have served as officials in six places over the years."
"If they contact each other secretly and communicate with each other, I, the Confucian family, may not be able to guard against them."
Hear the words.
Kong Yu's expression completely changed.
Anxiety said:
"What should I do?"
Zixiang's eyes were gloomy and he said solemnly: "There is only one plan for now, drag it out. You must not let Hua Ji look elsewhere. Let him focus on the court or other things."
"Only in this way can we, the Confucians, escape."
Kong Yu's face calmed down slightly, but his face was still full of worry.
asked:
"Then how can we delay it?"
"Although I am Lord Wentong, Zhou Qingchen is in control of the Doctoral Academy. Although we are doctors, we have no real power at all and cannot participate in political affairs. Even if we intend to stir up trouble for Huaji, we probably won't be able to act accordingly."
"Besides."
"Although we have good relations with many courtiers, Huaji relies on the Guanzhong clan. Those courtiers will never go out of their way to offend Huaji just to please my Confucian family. There is nothing we can do to stop him."
Kong Yu looked dejected.
Zixiang's face was also very solemn.
Of course he knew this, but they had no choice.
The path of private study was proposed by him, and it was planned by him. He put a lot of effort into it. If he gave up directly, he would really be unwilling to do so.
and.
He wants to make a fortune.
He, Bohuaji, had just returned to Xianyang and would not do anything in a hurry. He would only secretly investigate the situation of private schools in Xue County.
As long as he succeeds in gambling.
Private education can continue to take root and grow.
but.
What Kong Yu said is correct.
No one else can be trusted. The courtiers they met will not get involved rashly, and the nobles of the Six Nations have their own agendas with them, so how can they take advantage of them? The only one they can rely on in this matter is themselves.
It’s just that they don’t have real power. How easy is it to stop Huaji?
Zixiang paced back and forth in the room, with various ideas flashing through his mind, but he rejected them one by one.
After walking back and forth in the house several times.
He finally stopped and said in a solemn voice: "I have thought of a way."
"What can we do?" Kong Yu asked anxiously.
Zixiang said unhurriedly: "Now we must try our best. If we succeed, our Confucian school will become an orthodox school that has survived for thousands of years. If we fail, our Confucian school may also face a disaster."
"But I want to win again!"
"If you are interested in exploring at the moment, just Huaji is the one."
"He was originally employed in Xuexian County. From now on, we will abandon Xuexian County and abandon all private schools in Xuexian County and even surrounding counties. At least for the next few years, we will no longer open private schools in Xuexian County.
.”
"But all this takes time."
"It will take at least a month to pass the news back and forth, plus various follow-up treatments, so we have to delay Hua Ji for at least a month, so that he can only focus on the court. After this period of time, he will
After a thorough investigation, nothing can be found."
"Confucianism declined in the imperial court."
"But brother, you still remember the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, my Confucian school was still very prosperous in the court."
