"Then, is it appropriate to dig up Confucius' tomb?" Gu looked slightly hesitant.
"What's wrong?! Confucianism doesn't want to be tolerated in the first place, and Confucius is the founder of Confucianism. If Confucius's mausoleum is allowed to exist, given time, Confucian students will come to visit. Over time, Confucianism's influence here will not only increase
If it is not curbed, it will be further improved. Besides, is there anything more convenient in Kongli than the books in the tomb of Old Master?" Yang Wu looked indifferent.
As a soldier, he never shied away from these things.
It's impossible to be taboo.
Gu Dao said: "Since the Warring States Period, some people have called Confucius a sage, especially people from Qi and Lu, who respect Confucius even more. If we dig up Confucius's tomb, I'm afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction among the local people."
There is definitely some concern.
He is a legalist official and has no good impression of Confucianism.
But since ancient times, Huaxia has always believed that the dead are the most important. Although he does not have much respect for Confucius, he still does not agree with grave digging in general.
This move was a bit too barbaric and cruel.
What they did was to arrest Confucian people and search relevant book collections.
It would be inappropriate to focus on digging graves now.
Yang Wu said coldly:
"The law is the most important thing in state affairs. If you think it's inappropriate, you don't have to participate. I'll do the digging of the grave."
"I just wanted to see how sacred this so-called 'sage of learning' is. Moreover, I have heard people say before that the name Confucius called a saint was originally self-proclaimed by Confucian disciples. In other words, Confucius was actually an ordinary person.
, is not worthy of such a title at all.”
Yang Wu took over everything.
Qin Luoheng was listening on the side.
He looked towards the woods not far away, his eyes a little solemn.
Digging a grave?
He actually hadn't thought about it.
But Yang Wu's words moved him.
Qilu was more deeply influenced by Confucianism than other counties in Shandong.
The existence of Confucius's tomb has become a place of "pilgrimage" for many Confucian students. As long as Confucius's tomb remains, it will be difficult to completely eradicate the influence of Confucianism. Now the Qin Dynasty and Confucianism have broken apart and are completely at odds. From now on
The imperial court will definitely block and block Confucianism. If Confucius's tomb is still there, all the imperial court's targeting of Confucianists will be to 'purify' Confucian students.
He had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
a long time.
Qin Luoheng finally made up his mind.
"After running all the way and burning Confucius' old wall all night, the soldiers are already tired. Let's go back and rest for a while. In the afternoon... we will open the walls around Confucius first, and then the tomb!"
Qin Luoheng made a complete decision.
Yang Wu looked happy and said quickly: "I will take the order."
Gu sighed softly and agreed.
Immediately, Qin Luoheng led his team to Lu County.
When they arrived at the county town of Lu County, the magistrate of Lu County brought the county officials to greet them early. Qin Luoheng did not talk to them, but gave a few simple instructions and went straight to the resting place.
After eating, he went to bed with his clothes on.
Lu County fell into calm.
And the other side.
Seeing the Qin soldiers leaving, Kong Kun and others who were hiding also dispersed.
However, unlike other Confucian scholars, Zixiang did not want to stay in Lu County, but wanted to escape from Lu County or even Xue County.
Kong Yu said with a puzzled expression:
"Brother Xiang, what do you mean?"
"Now the government is strictly investigating us, but we have deep roots in Lu County. We stay in other people's homes, so we can easily avoid detection. Once Qin Luoheng leaves, we can go back. If you leave now, you are not careful.
, then others may discover it, and then wouldn’t it be harmful to yourself?”
"Even if you are really uneasy, why bother with it?"
Zixiang looked at Kong Kun and sighed: "Brother, this time the situation is different."
"Our Confucianism is indeed deeply rooted in the local area. Even the officials in Lu County will inform us, but do you really think that Qin Luoheng will leave if he can't find anyone?"
"impossible!!!"
Kong Yu frowned and said doubtfully:
"Why?"
"If he can't find anyone, he wants to leave. Does he still want to stay in Lu County for a long time?"
"Furthermore, even if he intends to stay for a long time, you and I know his identity. Even if he intends to stay, how can the First Emperor let him stay in Lu County?"
"What on earth are you worried about?"
"And did you notice anything?"
Zixiang took a deep breath and finally nodded.
He said:
"I have guessed what the nobles of the six countries are planning."
"They are plotting against Qin Luoheng!"
"If I'm not wrong, the nobles of the six countries have known Qin Luoheng's true identity. They are using my Confucianism as bait this time, and want to take advantage of Qin Luoheng's unpreparedness and kill him directly in Lu County!"
"even......"
"The nobles of the six countries also intend to use Qin Luoheng's hand to get rid of us Confucian people."
"Today's Lu County has become a huge whirlpool of life and death. If you are not careful, you may die unexpectedly. Among the three parties, we, the Confucians, are the most vulnerable. No matter what the final situation is, we, the Confucians, will bear the brunt."
"Brother, you underestimate this incident!"
Hear the words.
Kong Yu's face changed in shock.
He said solemnly:
"Do the nobles of the six countries know Qin Luoheng's identity?"
"How can this be?"
"Few people knew about this in Xianyang at the beginning. How did they learn about it?"
"And aren't we and the nobles of the Six Nations mutual allies? Why do they want to plot against us? The nobles of the Six Nations have paid a lot for Confucianism in these years?"
Kong Yu couldn't believe it.
Zixiang said:
"Although I don't know how the nobles of the six countries knew it, they must have known it, otherwise this incident cannot be explained."
"We and the nobles of the six countries were indeed allies in the past, but this time is not the same. They used to cooperate with us because they were mutually beneficial, but we, the Confucius Sect, have always been unwilling to completely rely on us. How can the nobles of the six countries be willing to do so?
?”
"It's just that they couldn't take action against us at that time, but now it's Qin Ting who is taking action. They can use Qin Luoheng's hand to get rid of us. Without us, Confucianism may have to completely rely on the nobles of the six countries in the future.
.”
"And this is what the nobles of the Six Nations have always wanted to do."

Zixiang said again:
"I know brother doesn't want to leave."
"But today's Lu County has become a place of right and wrong."
"The situation has not developed rapidly yet, but when the nobles of the six countries take action, the situation will become increasingly out of control. By then, it will be difficult for us to leave even if we want to."
"If Qin Luoheng really died here."
"Given the cruelty of the First Emperor, I am afraid that the entire Lu County will have to be buried with him."
"The First Emperor is capable of such things."
"In the case of Puyang, the First Emperor ordered the people within ten miles around to be killed. If something happens to Qin Luoheng, and the First Emperor is furious, not to mention the entire Xue County, not to mention Lu County, will not be able to escape death."
"If Qin Luoheng hadn't died."
"How could he not take revenge after escaping death?"
"The people of Lu County now choose to protect us because they are close to my Confucianism, but if their own life and death are endangered, I am afraid they will hand us over immediately, and we will have no way to escape."
"And brother, don't underestimate Qin Luoheng."
"He is the person who organizes the grand gathering of scholars."
"You can talk to those scholars who are famous all over the world without falling behind at all. How can you treat such people lightly?"
"And he will probably not stop until he achieves his goal."
"Qin Luoheng knows one thing very well. Da Qin is in the midst of a storm and cannot tolerate any accidents. He will not allow anything that shakes Qin Ting's prestige to happen. If nothing is gained this time, the harm to Da Qin will undoubtedly be
It’s huge. If he were an ordinary official, he might have done something careless, but Qin Luoheng is the tenth son of the Qin Dynasty, and he will definitely not allow this to happen."
"Because the impact of this incident is too bad! It will have a huge impact on the prestige of Da Qin!"
"If this matter spreads, Qin Ting will only lose face."
"The reason why the Qin Dynasty can survive now is because of the strength of the Qin soldiers and the prestige of the First Emperor. But now the Qin soldiers are out in large numbers and still can't catch anyone. Doesn't this imply that the Qin Dynasty has fallen into decline?"
"I can see this, so why can't Qin Luoheng?"
"He will definitely make a difference."
"The longer we stay in Lu County, the greater the possibility of exposure and the greater the probability of something happening. Everyone in Confucianism can get into trouble, except you and me. If something happens to us, Confucianism will be completely destroyed.
.”
"Confucianism will also be completely reduced to a vassal."
"We have no choice!"
"Now the situation is on the verge of breaking out, and this is the best opportunity for us to escape. If we miss it, it will be difficult to escape again."
"Brother, don't hesitate any longer."
"We don't have much time to think about it."
Kong Yu’s eyes were dazed.
He had never thought that things would be so serious this time.
It can actually affect the general trend of the world.
He just thought about it for a moment, and then he felt a chill down his spine, and even felt a little creepy. He quickly said: "Brother Xiang is thinking about it very much, but it is for the sake of brother."
"I'm going to tell the others to leave."
Zixiang said:
"Brother, when are you? Do you still miss others?"
"When disaster strikes, we all fly away."
"Other Confucian students are not important at all, and someone must take responsibility for this matter. If my brother informs other Confucian students, once these Confucian students run away, they will only hurt more in the end. They have been enjoying great glory through my Confucianism in recent years.
, now it’s time for them to make some sacrifices for the school.”
"This time the Confucian scholars will definitely die."
Kong Yu looked at Zixiang in surprise, as if he didn't expect that these words came from Zixiang's mouth.
Zixiang said coldly:
"Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?"
"But now that the situation has come to an end, the only option is to cut off the wrists of a strong man."
"And brother, have you ever considered that if all the Confucian people fled and Qin Luoheng survived in the end, where would he vent his anger in the end?"
Kong Yu was startled.
He shook his head and said: "It seems there is no place to vent."
"Yes!" Zixiang said with a cold face: "And it's very important to us."
"This is the tomb of our ancestors."
Hear the words.
Kong Yu's face changed greatly.
He said angrily:
"He dares."
"The ancestor is a 'saint', how dare he touch the tombs of our ancestors?"
Zixiang shook his head and said:
"The ancestors are naturally saints, but the ancestors are only the saints of our Confucianism, not the saints of the world. We Confucians naturally respect our ancestors with great respect, but Qin Luoheng pursues Legalism, how can he have respect for our ancestors?"
"When Qin Luoheng can't find anyone to vent to, he will definitely vent his anger on the tombs of his ancestors."
"Brother, if you tell other Confucian students about this and let them all flee, then you are really trying to destroy our Confucianism, or even deceive the master and destroy the ancestors."
"even......"
"Qin Ting can just abandon the bones of the ancestors in the wilderness. Will we go and collect the bones of the ancestors? If he doesn't go, wouldn't he be an unfilial person? If he goes, won't he be throwing himself into a trap?"
"We don't know Qin Luoheng's thoughts."
"The only thing we can do is to protect ourselves and let other Confucian scholars die. As long as enough Confucian scholars are 'caught', Qin Luoheng may stop, and then we can also preserve the tombs of our ancestors, otherwise you
My two brothers may be completely put on the pillar of shame of Confucianism and be humiliated by the world. After death, they will not even dare to face the ancestors of Confucius."
"Brother, how dare you do this?"
Kong Yu's face turned pale.
He also completely understood it.
Zixiang did not want others to flee with him, and even wanted others to die in order to preserve the tombs of his ancestors.
This idea is too cruel.
but......
Kong Yu exhausted his brains, but could not find a better solution.
Unfilial and unjust.
They are destined to bear one at this time.
Kong Yu had a mournful look on his face, with tears streaming down his face.
mourned:
"Why did our Confucian sage school fall to this point?"
"What a tragedy!!!"
Zixiang sighed:
"Brother, the current situation has dictated what you can do about it?"
"Mencius said: The heart of shame and disgust is righteousness!"
"Righteousness is inherent in people. It may be able to decide between life and death in times of crisis, but it is inevitable to plan for a prosperous banquet. Therefore, a gentleman cannot fail to reflect on this for a moment."
"However, this moment is about the life and death of our Confucian school. Between life and death, how can we forget the great way because of small righteousness?"
"Mencius once said: 'If there is nothing more that people want than life, then why not use anything that can lead to life?' We are not sages, we are just ordinary people, so why should we be treated according to the standards of sages?"
"Brother, don't be too sad."
"If brother really wants to blame, then everything should be attributed to me."
"I'll take it."
Kong Kun looked at Zixiang, shook his head and said: "As my brother, how can I let you take the responsibility? If you hadn't pointed it out, I might never have been able to see it. But where can we go without Lu County?
"
"You also said that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms don't like us. We will also become criminals in the future. If the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have evil intentions and directly sue us or get rid of us directly, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."
Kong Yu had a sad look on his face.
Zixiang's face was also serious.
He said:
"It's not that far."
"What the nobles of the six countries want is the complete restoration of our Confucianism. After this incident, our Confucianism will decline drastically. Unless the world is really in chaos, we can only depend on others."
Kong Yu sighed quietly.
He said sadly:
"If you had stayed in Xianyang, why would you be like this?"
"That's all."
"We're leaving now."
"I just hope that other Confucian scholars will react more slowly. Otherwise, if the tombs of our ancestors are destroyed because of this, how can I, Kong Yu, have the dignity to meet all the ancestors underground after my death?"
