"Your Majesty has granted Confucianism special privileges. Confucianism will either prosper or suffer a great calamity. The less naive you are, the more you think that Your Majesty wants to abolish the law and promote Confucianism, then it will be a great calamity."
Chunyu Yue kept smiling lightly, and his voice was very steady, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
"With your Majesty's character, it is hard for Confucianism to blame the eldest son for being like this. It is perfectly normal for him to kill Confucianism to vent his anger."
Li Si was silent for a moment and said, "Is it possible to run away?"
"The sky is big and the earth is big. They are all the land of Qin. Where can I run if I run away?"
"Yan, Chu, and Qi are the three places. These three places are named Qin, but in fact they are still controlled by the nobles of the six countries."
"The Yue people entered the Qin Dynasty from the Qi Dynasty and vowed to revive Confucianism. It is inappropriate and inappropriate to return to the Qi Dynasty like this."
"Don't die!"
"If Brother Li is really so worried, the more you have a question, please ask Brother Li to answer it." Chunyu Yue looked at Li Si eagerly and said, "Brother Li is a close minister of His Majesty, so he must know more. I dare to ask the eldest son.
Is the illness still not cured?"
Chun Yuyue's question made Li Si immediately think of the decree that he had peeked at.
There is nothing wrong with the eldest son. His Majesty has secretly sent him to Shangjun.
If Chunyu Yue had known that the eldest son was no longer in Xianyang, he might no longer have the illusion that Confucianism could rise.
Huh? Got it!
Zhao Gao has been emphasizing that I am the leader of both the Confucian and Legalist families. This is to remind me that after the death of these Confucian disciples in the court, I will be able to take charge of the Confucian and Legalist disciples.
It reminds me that Your Majesty is testing me.
Your Majesty knew that I had accidentally read the imperial edict, but he did not blame me, and today he specifically asked me to inform Chun Yuyue.
Just to see if I would reveal the contents of the imperial edict just for the sake of friendship.
Once I tell Chunyu Yue the truth to Young Master Chunyu Yue, causing Chunyu Yue to run away, then Your Majesty will know that I have leaked the imperial edict.
Zhao Gao said that Chunyu Yue and I have the same friendship, which undoubtedly pointed out again that His Majesty wanted me to cut off my last favor and become a lonely minister...
The more Li Si thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
But at this moment, he no longer had the entanglement of standing in front of the doctor's office.
Since he took Chun Yuyue into the doctor's office, he had already made his own choice.
He didn't think about one question - what Zhao Gao reminded him was Zhao Gao's guess of the Emperor's intentions. The Emperor had never said so much to him directly.
Li Si shook his head naturally.
"What kind of disease does the eldest son have, and he has not recovered yet?"
"The eldest son is not sick." Li Si said stiffly: "Your Majesty has secretly assigned the eldest son to Shangjun. Brother Chunyu, please leave Xianyang as soon as possible."
When Chunyu Yue heard this, he did not show any surprise this time.
Under Li Si's puzzled gaze, Chunyu Yue let out a sigh of relief.
"As expected."
"...You already knew?"
"It's a fair guess. Brother Li's words can be regarded as verifying what Yue was thinking."
"It's still too late to leave now."
Is it possible to run?
Don't worry!
It's not too late to leave now.
Li Si asked Chunyu Yue to escape three times in a row, but Chunyu Yue refused twice.
This third time, Chunyu Yue looked at Li Si's face that was so rigid that it was hard to see any emotion, smiled, and nodded.
"Can."
Li Si stood up, saluted, and said solemnly: "Take care."
Chunyu Yue stood up and returned the greeting, saying: "Goodbye."
Li Si left with a heavy load, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
After Li Si left, Chunyu Yue also walked out of the private room and walked into the depths of the doctor's office.
"Chunyu Pushe came to look for Dr. Fu again?"
"Of course, Fu Sheng is here?"
"It's right inside."
"Thank you Dr. Huang."
Chunyu Yue chatted with a passing acquaintance, a doctor, and continued walking inward.
Pushe's annual salary is 400 dan, and doctor's salary is 600 dan. Pushe's status is below that of doctor.
But in the doctorate department, no doctor would take Chunyu Yue as a servant.
Everyone knows that Chunyu Yue is a Confucian leader.
Chunyu Yueqing walked to a house on a familiar road and knocked on the door three times slowly and gently.
No one answered inside.
Chunyu got used to it earlier and pushed the door open without hesitation.
"The Master said: Isn't it right to learn and practice from time to time? Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar..."
The image of Fu Sheng shaking his head and reading the Analects of Confucius appeared in front of Chunyu Yue.
Chunyu Yue walked over, patted Fu Sheng's shoulder with his right hand, and called: "Fu Sheng."
It took two shots to get Fu Sheng out of his selfless reading state.
Fu Sheng held "The Analects of Confucius" in his hand, looked at Chunyu Yue standing behind him in surprise, and said, "When did Brother Chunyu come?"
From Fu Sheng's perspective, Chunyu Yue seemed to be teleporting, suddenly arriving behind him.
"Your Majesty will hold a grand banquet in six days to divide the ministers into feudal ministers. All Confucian disciples can attend."
Fu Sheng was overjoyed and said: "This is a good thing and an evil thing! Your Majesty entrusted Zhou Dynasty with enfeoffment, and he valued our Confucianism so much. We don't have to wait for the rise of Confucianism until the Second Emperor of Qin, it can only happen in this world!"
"A good thing is a bad thing? A bad thing is bad!"
Chunyu Yue looked at the innocent Fu Sheng, and finally showed a wry smile that he didn't show in front of Li Si.
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to law and neglects Confucianism. This arrangement is to kill all the Confucian students who attended the banquet that day. The eldest son has been assigned to the county. Now, if you want to revive Confucianism, there is only one way to go."
Fu Sheng was horrified and had no way to respond to Chun Yuyue's words.
Chun Yuyue had a firm look on his face and said calmly: "Your Majesty wants to reject my Confucianism. The eldest son is a Confucian scholar. Since this matter happened because of the eldest son, I am his teacher. Killing me alone should be enough to vent your anger."
His Majesty’s wrath.”
"I can die for Confucianism together with Brother Chunyu, I would be happy!"
Fu Sheng finally came to his senses and faced Chunyu Yuedao with the same firm expression.
Chunyu Yue refused without hesitation.
"No, you have more important things to do. If you die, I can only vent the anger in your Majesty's heart, and we cannot let the eldest son return to Xianyang. If the eldest son does not return to Xianyang, our Confucian school will not be able to prosper. If your majesty wants to recall the eldest son, you must
Your Majesty must believe that Confucianism will no longer try to influence the eldest son."
"You have to do something, something that is enough to dispel the doubts in His Majesty's heart. Only you can do this in the entire Confucian school. This thing is more uncomfortable than death. But for the great prosperity of our Confucian school, please brother Fu must do it.
.”
Fu Sheng thought that Chunyu Yue's words were to let him live with peace of mind, so he shook his head.
"There is nothing greater than death. Everything can be done by others, and Brother Chunyu deceived me."
Chunyu Yue pointed to the "Analects of Confucius" in Fu Sheng's hand and said: "Four people from Zhang Ping came out of Confucianism. They went to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion in person to ask for annotations on the Analects of Confucius, and asked all Confucian students to learn it. Today, within Confucianism, Brother Fu has the most prestige.
.Only Brother Fu can do these two things."
Wow~
The Analects of Confucius in Fu Sheng's hand fell to the ground.
His face turned red, his blood surged, and he stood up suddenly.
His reaction was even greater than when he heard that the First Emperor wanted to exterminate all the Confucian disciples who attended the banquet.
"It is better to die than to do these two things in life!"
Fu Sheng once fainted on the spot in the court because Ying Chengyu slandered the Analects of Confucius.
There was also a time when Chunyu Yue was so angry that he made a fuss in the Confucian government and accused Chun Yuyue of agreeing to ask Ying Chengyu for advice on the Analects of Confucius.
Fortunately, Chunyu Yue did not really think that Ying Chengyang was right. Afterwards, he sent four Confucian scholars, Zhang Pingping, and others to set a trap for Ying Chengyang, and he won Fu Sheng's full support.
Now Fu Sheng is required to expel four people from Confucianism, and he is asked to ask Ying Chengxuan to comment on the Analects of Confucius, and all Confucian scholars are asked to study it.
This is simply more uncomfortable than killing Fu Sheng.
Chunyu Yue slapped Fu Sheng's shoulders with both hands and said loudly: "If you want Confucianism to survive and prosper, you must do this! I, a Confucianist, can even let others annotate the Analects of Confucius and change it beyond recognition, and
Why can't you give up? You have to be so docile to dispel Your Majesty's wariness."
"Only will Your Majesty believe that my Confucianism only seeks to survive and nothing else. That will not completely ban Confucianism in the Qin State and expel Confucian students from Xianyang. Only then will you transfer the eldest son back to Xianyang after my death and grant him the title of Crown Prince!"
"Let life die! You do this! Your prestige in Confucianism is ten times greater than life, and you are more suitable to do this than life!"
"Yue, he is already a dead man."
Chunyu Yue gently stroked Fu Sheng's chest to calm down Fu Sheng's mood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that regardless of the official position or title, a disciple of Confucianism can be admitted to the banquet. This gives Confucianism a place to breathe.
, As long as I don’t go to the banquet, I won’t suffer any misfortune. But I was told by Li Si personally that I can’t be absent.”
"If I don't show up, His Majesty's anger will have no way to vent. When the emperor is angry and lays down millions of corpses, then the Confucians will really shed their blood in rivers. Your death is for your reputation. If you live, your reputation will be damaged. How can you
Let Confucianism flourish."
Chunyu Yue paid a deep tribute to Fu Sheng, bowed and said sincerely: "Confucian scholar Chunyu Yue, please brother Fu to live as a Confucian."
Fu Sheng did not help Chunyu Yue.
The Confucian scholar with the deepest knowledge of Confucianism had red eyes and pointed at Chunyu Yue and scolded him.
"Bastard! You, Chun Yuyue, died under His Majesty's sword and gained fame both before and after your life! But you asked me to do this thing that will be infamy for thousands of years! With the great rise of Confucianism, everyone in future generations will remember that you, Chun Yuyue, were unyielding and unafraid of the royal power! And I, Fu
born!"
Two lines of hot tears flowed down Fu Sheng's eyes. Fu Sheng pointed his thumb at himself and said completely without any regard for etiquette: "Flattery, groveling, flattering, even a villain! Why! This matter! I can't live without it!"
Chunyu Yue lowered his body further, so low that his knees hit the ground, and so low that his head hit the ground.
Chunyu Yue kowtowed nine times to Fu Sheng, whose eyes were widened, his head was full of anger, and he had two lines of hot tears.
"The son is silent, strange, powerful, chaotic, and divine. But today, Yue wants to turn into ghosts and gods after death. When Confucianism flourishes, he will announce the truth to the world. Those who promote Confucianism will be born as great Confucians."
"Qu Yuan was Mo Ao of Chu. He imitated the immortal Peng Xian and threw himself into the Miluo River. He failed to turn into a ghost to protect the Chu country. Will you believe this in your life?"
The witchcraft culture was prevalent in the Chu State, and Mo Ao was the official name of the Chu State who was also responsible for royal sacrifices and divination.
If you can do Mo Ao, you are a great witch.
Chu people believed that Mo Ao could communicate with ghosts and gods.
Brother Fu, you can do it...
Chunyu Yue stood up, straightened his appearance, wiped the dust off his forehead, and patted the dust off his knees.
"In five days, I will wait for Brother Fu at the Confucian Mansion."
Chunyu Yue went out and closed the door for Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves and carefully picked up the Analects of Confucius that had fallen to the ground.
He wiped the volume of "The Analects" clean, fearing that there would be a trace of dust on it.
Then, this man who was thirty years old and had the most profound knowledge of Confucianism.
Putting "The Analects of Confucius" on the desk is like a child who has lost his most beloved thing.
He lay on the table and cried bitterly, cursing and crying at the same time.
"Asshole, wuwuwu, why can't death be life, wuwuwu, why should we live like this, wuwuwu, why can only life be the only way to do this, wuwuwu..."
He deliberately placed "The Analects of Confucius" at the top of his desk.
This child, who had studied Confucianism all his life, was afraid that his tears would wet the Analects of Confucius.
That night, a quarrel broke out in the Confucian mansion.
Fu Sheng, the most profound Confucian scholar, had a big quarrel with Chun Yuyue, the hidden leader of Confucianism.
From an academic perspective, Fu Sheng believed that Confucianism should not be complacent.
For example, the annotation of "The Analects of Confucius", although the annotation of Chang'an Jun Ying Chenglong is wrong.
But after he returned, he studied it carefully and drew new inspirations for Confucianism.
For example, Mozi studied Confucianism, but because the insights he gained from Confucianism were not accepted by Confucianists at that time, he left Confucianism and founded Mohism, which is also known as Xianxue along with Confucianism.
Both of these prove that it will be difficult for Confucianism to progress if it is stuck in its ways.
He decided to go to Chang'an Jun's Mansion and ask Chang'an Jun Ying Chengyu for his annotations on the Analects of Confucius.
Interpret the Analects from another perspective and require all Confucian disciples to interpret it together.
Chunyu became even more angry and accused Fu Sheng of betraying Confucianism.
Talking about Ying Chengxi's Zhuzi is maliciously slandering Confucianism and misinterpreting Confucian classics.
Fu Sheng is just following his favorite, a despicable person, and someone who is afraid of the royal power.
Fu Sheng was also furious and said that Chunyu Yue was dishonest and inconsistent with his words and deeds. The evildoer complained first and proposed that Chunyu Yue and the four Confucian scholars who had been to the tower be expelled from the Confucian school.
It is said that Chunyu Yue clearly promised the First Emperor in court and asked the Lord of Chang'an for advice, but then turned around and sent people to maliciously slander the Lord of Chang'an.
Do one thing before others and another behind others.
Chunyu Yue and the four Confucian scholars who did such things are despicable people. There are no such disciples in Confucianism.
When Chunyu Yue heard that Fu Sheng wanted to drive him out of Confucianism, he countered that he wanted to drive Fu Sheng out of Confucianism and Fu Sheng out of the Confucian mansion named after him.
This quarrel in the Confucian government lasted for two hours and affected all Confucian students. Confucianism was divided into two factions.
One faction was headed by Fu Sheng, accounting for more than 95% of the Confucian students present.
One faction was headed by Chunyu Yue, accounting for less than half of the Confucian scholars present.
The reason for such a huge disparity.
First, Chunyu Yue deliberately gave in when he and Fu Sheng had a dispute.
Second, the fans who support Fu Sheng are all knowledgeable people, while the fans who support Chunyu Yue are young activists.
After all the Confucian scholars began to quarrel with each other, the former hit the latter just like a father hitting his son.
Third, this is the most important point. Chunyu Yue did not allow all Confucian scholars to participate in the dispute between the county system and the feudal system. This matter cannot be cleared up.
In the end, the First Emperor did not fundamentally abolish the feudal system, and treated Kui Zhuang favorably to this point, who fully supported the feudal system.
All the Confucian scholars thought that if they could speak that day, it would be the final straw, and the First Emperor would definitely choose enfeoffment.
And even if you don't choose enfeoffment, it won't have any impact on Confucianism.
The catastrophe that Chun Yuyue mentioned before was completely nonsense and untenable.
If Chunyu Yue could not give a reason, it would have cost the Confucians the biggest opportunity to compete with the Legalists for the right to speak in the court, and it would be a betrayal.
Fu Sheng said that when he spoke for Chun Yuyue, it was Chun Yuyue who swore and swore for him to believe without giving any reason.
The Confucian scholars asked Chunyu Yue to give reasons on the spot, but Chunyu Yue was speechless.
Chun Yuyue became so angry that he expelled Fu Sheng's Confucian government on the spot.
It was already midnight.
The curfew has already started.
The patrolling city defense troops arrested more than 95% of the Confucian scholars in Xianyang and sent these people to Tingwei Prison.
Tingwei's prison was full again.
Those who violate the curfew will be imprisoned for three days at the minimum and beheaded at the maximum.
Ninety-half percent of the Confucian scholars, headed by Fu Sheng, were forcibly driven out, and more than a dozen of them had official status and were doctors of the Doctoral Department.
According to Qin law, he was detained for three days.
In this way, these Confucian scholars escaped the First Emperor's banquet the next day.
Confucianism.
Chunyu Yue asked the remaining Confucian scholars to find rooms to live in.
Returning to his bedroom, Chun Yuyue stood in front of the window, looking at the moon in the sky, thinking about Ying Fusu who was exiled to Shangjun.
The eldest son will definitely come back...
He will come back to be the crown prince, he will come back to be the second emperor of Qin...
…
Dazheng Palace.
Ying Fusu, who was missed by Chun Yuyue and thought to be in Shangjun, was bowing respectfully to a woman with a phoenix crown and a beautiful plumage.
"Fusu pays homage to the Queen Mother. It is getting so late, and the Queen Mother is careful about the cold night. If you are looking for Fusu, you can just call Fusu. Why do you need to come in person?"
In the entire world, there is only one person in the Qin Dynasty who can be called the mother of Ying Fusu.
Empress of the Qin Dynasty, Afang.
"You can't leave Dazheng Palace. My mother misses you, so she has no choice but to walk at night."
