Chapter 304 Do you really want me to check it out?
Ying Zheng left.
Qin Luoheng watched Ying Zheng go away.
After Ying Zheng's figure completely disappeared from his sight, he sighed quietly. He was actually really thinking about it.
I just want to go to court.
It's just that for some reason, Chief Qin has been hiding something and doesn't want him to go. Although he doesn't know why, he still respects Chief Qin very much, so he can only continue to endure it.
but.
He had a premonition.
It wasn't long before I left to go to court.
As for the restructuring of the imperial court that he proposed earlier, it was actually just a thought to show that he was not without talent. Of course, if he really wanted to put it into practice, it would not be possible in the short term, not to mention that Da Qin was already unstable.
Even the court may not agree.
Qin Luoheng tidied the hall.
Turned around and went to rest.
...
the other side.
After receiving the edict, Fusu rushed back to Xianyang without stopping.
He actually thought about being recalled to Xianyang.
No matter how Fusu thought, he never imagined that he would be recalled in this form. Although he quickly returned to Xianyang, his heart was full of hesitation.
After a long journey back to Xianyang, Fusu immediately paid an audience with the First Emperor.
Ying Zheng looked at Yingting's son, his eyes were rare and gentle, and he said softly: "He is darker and thinner than when he left."
Hear the words.
Fusu could no longer suppress his emotions and couldn't help but bow to the ground. He couldn't help but said in a sad voice: "Father."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said calmly: "Why are you crying? Get up!"
Fusu stood up.
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and asked, "How is your investigation of the lost land in Sishui County going?"
Fusu bowed and said:
"Go back to Father."
"After secret investigation by Erchen, at least in Chen County and Sishui County, no cases of state officials appropriating people's land have been found yet. In fact, the local people who have embezzled people's land have always been the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. Although the nobles of the Six Kingdoms lost their country, they still remain the same.
It means having no worries about food and clothing, and having abundant crops.”
"also."
"The nobles of the six countries are still making a big noise in the world, saying that the officials of the Qin Dynasty have annexed the people's property, and the world is evil. This is not the case. I ask my father to thoroughly investigate the annexation and restore justice to the world."
Ying Zheng raised his forehead slightly and said without changing his expression: "What did you do in Sishui County?"
Fusu said: "My son has not been idle for a moment in Sishui County. He has been busy with the land restructuring. Now most of the people who lost their land have been allocated the land for farming. My son and the government jointly captured dozens of fugitive nobles from the six countries.
Now that the trial is ongoing, I believe we can get the true situation of the land loss from their mouths."
"By then, local fields should be back in the hands of the head of Guizhou."
Ying Zheng said: "Well done."
"This is what a son-in-law should do." Fusu did not take credit for himself.
immediately.
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "Have you ever heard of the Confucian attack recently?"
Fusu's face changed slightly.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"My son, I have heard it."
"But I don't know how to defend myself."
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said indifferently: "You can't explain clearly. It is now being spread by the outside world that the Confucianists have received your orders and want to take this opportunity to return to Xianyang, and then win over the newly promoted court officials to further consolidate your power in the court.
status."
Fusu's expression changed greatly.
Kneel down and say:
"Father, I have absolutely no such thoughts."
"My son has been busy with his work during this period and has no contact with Confucianism at all. I really have no knowledge of what Confucianism is doing. Please take a closer look."
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Do you really want me to investigate?"
Fusu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
He couldn't bear to investigate.
He did have correspondence with Confucians.
Moreover, Confucianism indeed suggested more than once that he return to Xianyang to win over new imperial officials. He even secretly sneaked back to Xianyang to attend a gathering of scholars. These things cannot be investigated.
Fusu grabbed the ground with his head, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Ying Zheng did not look at Fusu anymore, and said with a puff of sleeves: "Go down, you have been tired all the way, you must be a little tired, go down and rest first, I will go to court tomorrow, I would like to hear what you think about the enfeoffment and the counties."
What do you think?"
"I hope you won't disappoint me again!"
"My dear, thank you very much for your concern. My dear... I have disappointed my father." Fusu looked so ashamed that he did not dare to look up at Ying Zheng.
After kneeling on the ground for a while, he slowly exited the hall.
After Fusu left, Ying Zheng shook his head.
He originally thought that after Fusu stayed in the place for a while, his personality would change, or at least he would become more responsible, but after these questions, he became more and more disappointed with Fusu. Fusu didn't change much.
Still can't take responsibility.
He knew that these things were not ordered by Fusu.
but......
He even hoped that Fusu would take over.
Because Confucianism is on Fusu's side, if something happens to Fusu, he only wants to distance himself from the relationship. How can this be accomplished? How can he be able to shoulder a big responsibility?
Leaving Xianyang Palace.
Fusu did not choose to go to the Doctoral Academy after all.
Instead, he went straight back to the palace.
He didn't want to be misunderstood by outsiders anymore.
Doctoral Palace.
Kong Yu and others naturally heard the news of the return of the eldest son, so they waited at the doctor's palace early, but until sunset, they still did not come to Fusu.
See the situation.
The doctors sighed and left the academy one after another with worries in their eyes.
Kong Yu sat on the banquet, looking a little melancholy, and sighed softly: "The eldest son is still dissatisfied with our behavior after all."
"Tomorrow I will go to court, and my Confucianism may be in trouble!"
Zixiang looked calm.
Dandan said:
"I actually guessed it a long time ago."
"Although the eldest son has his own opinions, when it comes to government affairs, the eldest son will become hesitant. There are rumors that it was the eldest son who ordered us to do this. The eldest son had no involvement in it. At this time, the influence
Since he is so big, he will naturally not want to get involved again."
"He is expressing his stance to the outside world and to the First Emperor."
"He has nothing to do with us."
Kong Yu sighed again, and said with a worried look on his face: "Without the help of the eldest son, I might have become the target of thousands of people when we wait for the meeting tomorrow. By then, the situation might be even more embarrassing than the last time. We Confucians are really going to do it this time."
Something is going to happen!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zixiang’s expression did not change.
He said coldly:
"Brother, a man should do something."
"We Confucians originally talk about being self-reliant in the world, so why do we need to tie our own destiny to others? Tomorrow, our Confucians will definitely receive a lot of abuse, even verbal and written criticism, but that's all. In the future, our Confucians will be able to thoroughly
Isn’t it still unclear which one is better and which one is worse than getting rid of Qin Ting?”
"Besides."
"Although the eldest son came back quickly, he still bought us some time. The nobles of the six countries also responded very quickly. They expressed their stance to us early and would try their best to help us cover up. At present, our Confucian family has eliminated most of them.
Proof.”
"What do some accusations mean?"
"Moreover."
"I, Confucian, have been very peaceful for the past six months. Even if I act a little too radical this time, will the imperial court really kill me, Confucian?"
"I don't think so."
"It is obvious that the First Emperor is dissatisfied with our Confucianism, and those courtiers must also have opinions about us, but they are just complaints and dissatisfaction at best, and it is not really to the point of putting Confucianism to death. We only need to survive those few hours, and from now on
Just continue to hibernate."
"The most dangerous period for our Confucianism has passed."
“There is a lot to do in the future!”
"Through this incident, we have also seen one thing clearly. Outsiders are ultimately unreliable. Even if we try our best to help the eldest son, he is still not of the same mind as us. The only one we can rely on is ourselves."
"And this just proves the correctness of private schools."
Hear the words.
Kong Yu was slightly startled.
Then he thought about it carefully and nodded.
Then he hesitated and said: "It's just that now the Confucians are starting to feel a little dissatisfied with us."
Zixiang said with disdain:
"A bunch of trash, what's there to worry about?"
"They are just a bunch of losers. They just see us losing power now, so they dare to make sarcastic remarks and ridicule us. When we Confucians regain our status, they will still treat us with the same respect as before."
"You don't need to worry about these people at all."
"If you give me a little favor, you will actively join in."
Zixiang had never taken a serious look at the other Confucian students in the Doctoral Academy, and these people had never caught his eye.
Hear the words.
Only then did Kong Yu feel relieved.
said:
"With your words, I feel relieved."
"Since the eldest son doesn't want to talk to us, there's no need for us to get in touch with him. Moreover, we have done our best for the eldest son over the years, and we have worked hard without any credit. But when something happened, the eldest son just stood aside and watched.
If so, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”
Zixiang nodded in agreement.
...
Xianyang regained its tranquility.
Now it has entered late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and fewer and fewer people are walking in the streets of the city. In a dilapidated house in the west city, an old man, wearing shabby clothes, is carrying a bundle of dead wood.
, wandering towards Dongcheng.
Although the weather is cold, the undercurrent has not diminished.
Wei Si raised his head and glanced at Xianyang Imperial City, with a cold look in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the streets and continued walking forward. He had naturally heard about the Confucian affairs. As for what the Confucian family was secretly planning, he
Not sure.
Don't want to know either.
But that doesn't stop it from being an opportunity for him.
An opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
His body was getting worse and worse, and he dared not drag it out any longer. He even had a hunch that he might not survive this winter. The current winter was really too cold for him.
He has to do something.
It took him half an hour to pick these two bundles of dead wood, during which he had to rest countless times, and now they were finally delivered to their destination.
He stepped forward and knocked on the locked door.
soon.
There was a reaction in the house.
A man opened the door with a suspicious look in his eyes. He looked at the old man for a few times and asked doubtfully: "My father-in-law, what are you doing?"
Wei Si laughed naively:
"I'm here to apologize to Dr. Qin."
"Last time at the gathering of scholars, the little old man accidentally contradicted Dr. Qin. He was worried all the time. He wanted to apologize to Dr. Qin in person, but he was feeling unwell some time ago and was unable to come. Now that he is feeling better, he finally
Come and apologize in person.”
"The little old man's family is poor and he doesn't have much, so he can only use two bundles of firewood as compensation."
