Chapter 120 All Confucian Scholars Are Dead at the Banquet
"only."
After Zhao Gao responded, he looked at the side of the First Emperor and hesitated, but did not leave immediately.
He was worried about the safety of the First Emperor.
"Go do your thing."
"only."
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao's back and thought about what Ying Chengyu had just said about Guo Kai and Zhao Gao.
The meaning of Cheng Xi is that Zhao Gao of Qin is Guo Kaihu of Zhao? He wants to kill him...
You are confused, Zhao Gao has protected me from my childhood to this day, from Zhao to Qin, how can you kill Cheng Yu with just a few words?
Even if Cheng Yu saw that Zhao Gao would commit treason, that would only happen in the future.
How dare you call yourself a king if you are afraid? How can you call yourself a king? How can you be worthy of being called a king!
I will never do what the late King Zhaoxiang killed Bai Qi and cut off his own arm!
"When Fusu leaves Dazheng Palace, I will tell you how to strengthen the country."
Brother Huang, do you want your eldest nephew to attend? That’s fine, I’ll teach them both at once.
Ying Chengxuan agreed: "But, then, brother, please leave on your own, and I won't see you off."
"The book is for me." The First Emperor said without looking back: "I want both copies."
…
Zhao Gao visited the Prime Minister's Mansion twice a day.
"... Prime Minister on the left, Prime Minister on the right, this is your Majesty's decree. Gao also wants to go to the Neishi Mansion and the Censor Zhongcheng Mansion, so he will take the first step."
Zhao Gao said goodbye to Wang Wan and Li Si.
Wang Wan and Li Si returned the greeting, using polite words of farewell.
Zhao Gao turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly slapped his forehead.
"I almost forgot something important."
He turned his head again under the confused eyes of Li Si and Wang Wan, and said to Li Si: "Your Majesty asked the left minister to inform Chunyu Pushe of the big banquet in six days. All Confucian disciples, regardless of their official position or title, can attend the banquet.
.”
"The Prime Minister Zuo is the head of both Confucianism and Legalism, and has been entrusted with important responsibilities by His Majesty. Gao is very envious of him. The Internal History Office is very close to the Doctoral Office. If the Prime Minister Zuo has no other important matters, is it okay for him to go with Gao?"
"It's my great fortune to walk with Zhao Che's magistrate for a while."
The two walked side by side and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wang Wan looked at the backs of the two of them, a flash of thought flashing in his eyes.
These two people must have been together for some time...
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Si and Zhao Gao chatted while walking.
Zhao Gaoxian said: "After Brother Li became Prime Minister, his aura was very different from that of Tingwei. It was worse than that of Prime Minister Wei."
This sounds like Zhao Gao is complimenting Li Si, but in fact it is Zhao Gao who is warning Li Si - if you keep this mentality, your position as prime minister will not be stable.
A bitter look appeared on Li Si's rigid face, and he said: "What Brother Zhao taught me is that after becoming prime minister, Si's mentality became abnormal. He relied on comparison and showing off. He will not do that in the future."
Children can be taught.
Zhao Gao said with satisfaction: "Gao Gao didn't have this intention, Brother Li has overthought it."
The people of Qin who passed by were all in a hurry, and the city defense troops armed with long swords were also patrolling diligently.
The long and empty road splits the lively and silent Xianyang City in half.
The two chatted casually.
While Li Si was chatting with Zhao Gao, he kept thinking about why the First Emperor wanted him to tell Chunyu Yue.
The Doctor's Office and the Internal Affairs Bureau are not far apart. Your Majesty can clearly ask Zhao Gao to inform Chun Yuyue on the way, so why do you want me to go?
According to what Lord Chang'an said, your Majesty's decree cannot be overthought. He asked me to inform Chun Yuyue. In your Majesty's heart, I am the most suitable person to do this.
But why am I the most suitable?
I can’t figure it out…
The two of them were walking as usual.
Li Si suddenly saluted Zhao Gaoshen and said seriously: "May I ask Brother Zhao why your Majesty wants Si to go and talk to Chunyu Yue about this matter."
This is the realization that Li Si gained when he was pinned to the stone table by Ying Chengyu and almost died until he said, "Si wants to be the prime minister." Sometimes, being straight to the point can have miraculous effects.
I wonder how Li Si would feel if he knew that Ying Chengyu had no intention of killing him and would let him go in the end no matter what he said.
Zhao Gao was extremely surprised.
While helping Li Si up, he cursed.
There is no city, and there is no way to hide one's heart in times of trouble.
How can the position of Prime Minister change people so much?
Should I continue dating Li Si?
That's all, he is already the prime minister and the most important minister. If we break off the relationship, all the previous achievements of Gao will be wasted.
"Brother Li, what do you mean? Please get up quickly. Brother Li is the head of both Confucianism and Legalism, and he studied at Jixia Academy with Chunyu Pushe. It is natural that he should tell Brother Li the good news.
.”
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
Li Si didn't have time to think carefully about what Zhao Gao meant, so he thanked him first.
The two continued to walk side by side.
But until Zhao Gaoxing arrived at the Neishi Mansion and said goodbye to Li Si, he never said a word again.
"Brother Li, go ahead and tell Meng Nei Shi."
"Na Si will leave first. Brother Zhao can come and sit at the house in his spare time. The door of our house will be open to Brother Zhao at any time."
Farewell Zhao Gao.
Li Si lowered his head and walked forward alone.
Continue to think about what Zhao Gao said to him.
He is the leader of both Confucianism and Legalism.
Zhao Gaozhan said this to me twice during tea time, three times including the time at home.
But what is the purpose of this statement? Is it just that I studied under Master Xun and practiced both Confucianism and Legalism?
Chun Yuyue and I were studying at Jixia Academy together, so I was asked to tell Chun Yuyue this good news.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this statement, but Zhao Gao likes to use metaphors when speaking, so he must not mean it literally.
Huh? Good news? Good news!
How can this be good news!
Li Si suddenly stopped, his body was shaking, his eyes were blank, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He felt a little dizzy and wanted to hold on to something.
Look up and around.
A red-brick and black-tiled official residence, built half in the rough Qin style and half in the Qi style of study, was on his right.
Doctoral Department, here it is.
Li Si looked at the three words "Big Doctor's Office" and his heart changed.
Chunyu Yue is a good friend of Si, but Si cannot lose his holy favor.
He is already a minister and prime minister, and there is no one above him, so why should he do it?
But if this matter is not handled well, the position of prime minister may be lost, and the example of Wei Zheng is right in front of us.
What is Si struggling with?
Si has killed Senior Brother Han Fei and sold Junior Brother Zhang Cang, so why not sell him to Chunyu Yue today?
Can it only be a sword?
Your Majesty, don't you see this talent?
Will His Majesty step down from the position of Prime Minister because of this incident?
Countless thoughts were cluttering in Li Si's mind, making the newly promoted Zuo Prime Minister of Great Qin stand in front of the doctor's office for a long time, unable to take a step.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's still duty time. Brother Li is known for his diligent government affairs. Now he is not at the Prime Minister's Palace but at the Doctor's Office. But what's the important matter?"
The familiar voice brought Li Si back to reality.
Li Si raised his head and looked at it. Directly in front of him was the Chunyu Yue he was looking for.
Li Si stood here for so long that he was seen by a Confucian disciple in the doctoral department, so he went to inform Chun Yuyue.
Chunyu Yue offered the ancient ceremony to Li Si.
His ancient etiquette is strict and meticulous, and he can follow the ancient etiquette standards every time.
In a trance.
Li Si seems to have returned to Jixia Academy.
I saw the only traditional Confucian scholar left behind under Xunzi, a Confucian outlier, Chunyu Yue.
Li Si suddenly felt relieved.
That rigid face forced out a very ugly smile.
Although he looked neatly dressed.
But Chun Yuyue, whose eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale and haggard, said: "Your Majesty ordered me to come find you."
Li Si originally thought that Chunyu Yue would have a surprised and confused expression.
But Chunyu Yue didn't.
Chunyu Yue seemed to have already known the news, and said softly: "I don't know what it is."
Looking for you to die.
Li Simo read.
He grabbed Chun Yuyue's arm and walked towards the doctor's office.
"Go in and find a private room."
Chunyu Yue grabbed Li Si's hand, and in Li Si's puzzled eyes, he said: "It's not in line with etiquette."
Li Si stared at Chunyu Yue's bloodshot eyes.
"Zhou Li did not say that friends should not walk shoulder to shoulder."
"It is inconsistent with Qin's rites. The left prime minister studied Dharma and Confucianism, but Confucianism and Legalism are different. Since your majesty wants the left prime minister to bring oral instructions to Yue, as you have said here, the left prime minister can leave."
Li Si looked at Chun Yuyue's alienated face and listened to Chun Yuyue's unfaithful remarks.
His expression changes in just one breath.
The newly promoted Zuo Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty rushed over, grabbed Chun Yuyue's arm hard, and walked towards the doctor's office.
Li Si's grip this time made Chunyu Yue's arm sore. Chun Yuyue didn't even need to try, he knew that he couldn't get rid of him without using force.
"Private room!"
"It's not easy for the Prime Minister, so why bother?"
"If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette. If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace. If you are the prime minister, you will have a conscience."
""Guanzi·Herdsman" does not have the last seven words. Brother Li changed the work of the sages without authorization, which is inconsistent with etiquette."
Li Si grabbed Chun Yuyue and walked in front of everyone in the doctor's office.
Chunyu Yue found a private room, and when he approached, he stopped Li Si.
“It’s not too late to mend the fold once the sheep have run away.”
Li Sila pulled Chun Yuyue and entered the private room first.
"His Majesty once said twice in front of Si, 'If the meritorious ministers cannot escape unscathed, how can Your Majesty stand in the world?' His merits are great!"
Chunyu Yue rubbed his aching arm and followed Li Si into the private room.
The two of them entered and sat opposite each other.
"Brother Li, you can just say it."
"Your Majesty wants to come here. Wang Wan, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi will lead their respective government offices. Within three days, a plan will be made to hand over the fiefdoms of the ministers to your Majesty. Six days later, your Majesty will hold a grand banquet to divide the ministers. Your Majesty wants to come here.
Let me inform you that there will be a big banquet in six days. All Confucian disciples, regardless of their official position or title, can attend the banquet."
Chunyu Yue nodded with a normal expression and said, "The better I know."
Li Si stared at Chun Yuyue's face, which was as expressionless as his at the moment, and couldn't help but said: "You really don't know what this means?"
Chunyu Yue smiled and said: "All the Confucian scholars will die when they enter the banquet."
