The First Emperor's intention to go on a hunting tour has not yet been announced to the public, so the officials are not aware of it. Xianyang is as prosperous as ever, with a bit of desolation, but there is already an undercurrent surging behind the scenes.
Late February.
Qin Luoheng went to the Doctoral Academy again.
When the sun rises three poles, this is the time when the doctors and bachelors of the Doctor's Academy are studying knowledge. But at this time, the Doctor's Academy is completely silent. Under the reflection of the golden crow hanging high in the sky, the Doctor's Academy seems to be dyed with a layer of blood red.
Afterimage.
Qin Luoheng stepped on the falling leaves and arrived at the Lake of Lunxue, which was as empty as a deep valley.
There are some figures here.
But not much.
Compared with the Doctoral Academy in its heyday, it is far behind, and even cannot be compared at all. The difference is evident.
A corner by the lake.
Xiang Chao and Xu Sheng of the Mohist family, Lu Zhuo of the famous family, and Xu Xin of the peasant family were sitting on a pavilion, but the center of the pavilion was vacant.
Seeing Qin Luoheng's arrival, other doctors and bachelors stood up to greet him.
Qin Luoheng did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the gift.
Xu Xin's face looked much more haggard than usual. He squeezed out a smile on his dry face. He was still as orderly as usual and said calmly: "Dr. Qin hasn't been to the academy for half a year, right? The last time he came to the academy, he was a scholar.
The time of great celebration.”
Qin Luoheng had a wry smile on his face.
Zuo Yi said:
"Dr. Xu, please stop making fun of me."
"At the last gathering of scholars, I made everyone in the world laugh. How could I have the dignity to come to the doctor's academy again? At the last gathering of scholars, because of my unbridled and rude words, I almost brought the world's nobles and scholars to a standstill.
The whole family was offended, and I was so frightened that I really didn’t dare to come to the academy.”
Said.
Qin Luoheng also apologized to other scholars present.
In the past six months, he has gradually sobered up from the initial idealist. The so-called "I am sober when everyone is drunk" is actually deceiving himself and others. He is completely divorced from reality and has no ideas rooted in reality. In the end, it is just empty talk.
Every time he recalled his words and deeds at the time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and blushing.
The scholars around heard the sound and laughed.
Xiang Chao said:
"I don't think so."
"What Dr. Qin said is indeed beyond the past and present, and it is indeed inspiring. Every time I think back to the grand occasion of that day, I can't help but be shocked. If the world can really realize it one day, Dr. Qin will definitely have made great achievements, so it is unknown that his name will go down in history."
Some people around also echoed:
"Yes, yes, yes."
"The gathering of scholars is already about lofty speeches, but Dr. Qin's words are even more brilliant. How can it make people laugh?"
"As for offending hundreds of families, it is even more nonsense."
"If Baijia didn't even have this kind of popularity, I'm afraid it would have disappeared in the war. How can it continue to this day? But that's all."
"It's true what Dr. Qin said, it's time for hundreds of schools to perish."
As soon as these words fell.
The surroundings immediately became quiet.
Qin Luoheng raised his head and slowly glanced at everyone present. He had already guessed the purpose of everyone's invitation to come.
They want to leave Xianyang!
Xu Xin smiled and said:
"Why be so sad?"
"It's just that the doctor's academy has declined, and it's not us who are to blame. There's no need to be so pretentious. Now that Dr. Qin has arrived, I'll speak out."
"Dr. Qin has seen the current situation of the Doctoral Academy."
"Originally, there were hundreds and nearly a thousand people in the Doctor's Academy, but since the last incident, the doctors and bachelors in the Doctor's Academy have been running away. Now there are only a hundred or so people left in the Doctor's Academy, and even the servants are
Even Sheye will no longer interfere with the affairs of the Doctor's Academy."
“The Doctoral Palace has ceased to exist in name only!”
"The remaining school does not have much ambition, nor does it have much ambition. It just wants to do a good job in the school and spread the knowledge of the school, but it does not want to continue to be a corpse meal, so this time it called Dr. Qin.
I just want Dr. Qin to write a memorial for us."
"We have decided to resign!"
"From now on, in my white body, I will travel all over the world again and travel to all directions."
"Please Dr. Qin not to refuse."
Finished.
Xu Xin saluted Qin Luoheng.
The other scholars also stood up at this time and bowed respectfully to Qin Luoheng.
Qin Luoheng's mind moved slightly.
He did not reply in a hurry. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, I agree, I will go to His Majesty for you."
Hear the words.
Xu Xin and others looked happy and said, "Thank you Dr. Qin for your help."
Qin Luoheng said lightly: "The official position of doctor is indeed no longer suitable for all schools of thought. This status has actually become a burden for most of you, and has even made you a little tired of running around, making it difficult to focus on the study of the school.
.”
"How can I not be beautiful as a human being?"
"However, I do not recommend that you leave Xianyang. Even though the world is beautiful, it may not be your safe place. You all know what happened a month ago. The nobles of the six countries and a large number of scholars from hundreds of schools fled, and the world has reached danger.
the edge of."
"If you leave at this time, the imperial court may not be able to protect you."
"also."
"The official position of doctor can be removed, but your status as Qin people cannot be changed. Moreover, you are celebrities selected by the imperial court. If the imperial court directly lets you go, I am afraid that there will be various criticisms among the people."
"I can go to the hospital for you."
"But at the same time, I will also give you the status of 'guest minister'. You will continue to do what you want to do as the guest minister of the Prime Minister's Office from now on. The court will not have too many restrictions on you. Your talents have been restricted.
After spending several years in the academy, it’s time to show off to the people.”
There was a hint of hesitation in everyone's eyes.
Xu Xindao:
"Your guest?"
"After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it seems that there is no guest guest anymore."
Qin Luoheng nodded and said:
"After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the position of 'guest minister' was indeed abolished, but if it can be abolished, it will naturally be reestablished. Your school of thought, unlike Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, no longer focuses on the way of governing the court, but on the way of governing the court.
It is my duty to help the world at the same time."
"Therefore, this kind of official position that requires a lot of time is not of use to you, but the fictitious position of guest minister is very suitable for you. You can use the identity of guest minister to travel around the world and continue to do what you want to do.
thing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What you say means what you say!"
"You need this name now!"
"Without Da Qin's current household registration system, if you went to other places, you would probably be unable to move forward, let alone continue to spread various schools of thought."
Xu Xin and others looked at each other with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.
They have already made some moves.
In fact, they did not care about official positions. There were many restrictions on being an official in the Qin Dynasty. Although a doctorate was only a fictitious position, one had to abide by the way of being an official. This was really uncomfortable for the scholars of hundreds of families who were used to being idle in the past.
It's just that in the past, there were Confucians in front, so they received very little attention. Now that all the Confucians have fled, they have also fallen directly into the eyes of the censors. During this period, they have been criticized by the patrolling censors, so they all have the intention to resign.
But the guest is different.
The guest doesn't have so many requirements.
Ke Qing is actually a white man holding an official position.
And this is exactly what they want, because their own school is not suitable for reading the world's classics at all, nor is it suitable for tempering the world's feasible codes. Taking root in the local area and applying what they have learned is the real purpose of their school, not their own.
Trapped in the temple.
But will His Majesty agree?
Xu Xindao:
"Dr. Qin's suggestion is indeed impressive, but His Majesty may not set such a precedent. Although you have His Majesty's trust now, you cannot waste His Majesty's trust because of this. We still forget about this suggestion. Although you cannot have an official position,
But once I get rid of my official status, I will indeed be much more comfortable than I am now."
"Dr. Qin, you can rest assured."
"I, Xu Xin, will definitely do what you discussed with me earlier. I am also very curious whether Dr. Qin's idea can finally come true. If it can come true, maybe my farm family can really find a prosperous path for the world's leading Guizhou people."
"This is also in line with the moral principles of my farm family."
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
He said slowly:
"You don't have to worry about me."
"I have my own considerations. When the imperial court established the Doctoral Academy, it was originally intended to recruit scholars from all over the world to use it for the Qin Dynasty. However, when the Doctoral Academy was first established, the regulations were too sloppy. In addition, the Confucian family was dominant at that time, so the court was a little confused.
The ideas of other schools of thought are ignored.”
"Now it's just a matter of straightening things out."
"Your school of thought is based on the local area, and it should apply what it has learned there. The Doctor's Academy is actually like a prison to you. This is an improper consideration by the imperial court, and it should compensate you."
"Besides."
"There are many scholars who fled from the academy in front of you. You have shown your true intentions by not fleeing. How can the imperial court continue to watch with cold eyes? If it does not give you preferential treatment, wouldn't it mean that it has chilled the hearts of scholars who are loyal to Qin and serve Qin?"
"Don't refuse."
"I will definitely report this matter to you."
"You deserve this."
Qin Luoheng's attitude was very firm.
He knew very well that as long as he submitted the memorial, the First Emperor would definitely allow the doctors to be relieved of their official positions in the Doctor's Academy. There is no need for the Doctor's Academy to exist now. In fact, for the Great Qin, the Doctor's Academy would only have a negative effect on the Qin Dynasty.
.
It's only a matter of time before it's banned.
However, the doctoral academy can be banned, but the doctoral students who have always stayed in the doctoral academy deserve to be rewarded, and they must be rewarded.
This is a lot of money to buy bones!
If the Qin Dynasty had no expression at all, it would chill the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Xu Xin and others looked at each other and finally nodded, cupping their hands and saying, "Then let's get rid of Dr. Qin."
Qin Luoheng teased: "This is nothing. In fact, I have always hoped that the Doctoral Academy would be closed. If the Doctoral Academy is gone, no one will care about my knowledge anymore, and I don't have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of the world."
"Ha ha."
There was a burst of hearty laughter all around.
After sitting in the pavilion for a while, everyone got up and started walking in the doctor's palace. Looking at the increasingly sparse fallen leaves and the quiet attic, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad.
once Upon a time.
The Doctor's Academy was once prosperous and magnificent, with many famous people, and its atmosphere was not inferior to that of the Jixia Academy. But now, only six years later, it is full of depression, and it no longer shows the prosperity of the past.
