From Xianyang and Hangu, the number of foreigners who left with their luggage on their backs was countless, either lonely or indignant.
Lu Yan was originally in a relaxed mood, but after meeting the departing talents one after another, he felt extremely heavy.
He urged Dian Wei who was driving, "Without these talents, Qin will definitely be in chaos. Let's speed up. The sooner we can reach Hangu, the better."
Dian Wei patted his horse twice and said to the car: "These foreigners have all done meritorious services to the Qin State. It is hard to say how much they will remember Qin after the innocent people were expelled. Sir, why do you like it so much?"
Doing these thankless things?”
"This is not a thankless task. This time, my reputation in Qin will probably rise again."
"Drive~drive!"
Just as Lu Yan and Dian Wei were talking to each other, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Junior brother, Li Si is coming."
When the horse ran to the parallel, Li Si saluted on the horse, "Li Si has met the Imperial Master."
Lu Yan smiled at the window, "There are no national masters now."
Li Si was equally cheerful, "It will happen sooner or later, haha."
"Looking at your appearance, senior brother, the king has already summoned you."
"Li Si also didn't expect that as soon as the order to expel guests came out, it seemed that his mind was spinning much faster than usual, and an article was written in an instant. I have handed over the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests" to the king, and he ordered me to rush to the letter
Valley, help junior brother retain foreign guests."
""Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests", I want to read this eternal and magnificent article."
Li Si was a little touched. He was not of high birth, and Xunzi seldom praised him during his studies. However, the three senior fellow apprentices, Lu Yan and Han Fei, all respected him and Han Fei equally, and they also encouraged him a lot. With Lu Yan
Yan's current status in the academic circle was evaluated by him as "an eternal masterpiece", and he, the author, also wanted to be famous all over the world.
He handed his luggage to Lu Yan through the window. After Lu Yan opened it, he saw the stitched paper at a glance.
"This handwriting looks familiar."
"The article I wrote on bamboo slips was taken away by the king, and his attendant made a copy on paper and gave it to me."
"No wonder the calligraphy of Zhao Gao looks familiar." Lu Yan opened it and read it directly, "I heard that the officials were talking about expelling guests, and I thought it was too much... Taishan did not let the soil, so it can become big; rivers and seas do not choose small details.
flow, so it can be deep; the king does not exclude the common people, so he can understand his virtue... The husband's things were not produced in Qin, but there are many treasures; the scholars were not produced in Qin, but there are many loyal ones. Now we are driving away the guests.
Capitalizing on the enemy's country, harming the people in order to benefit the enemy, being vain internally and causing resentment to the princes externally, seeking to ensure that the country is not in danger, will not be achieved."
It was eloquent, with more than 800 words, written in one breath. Lu Yan could not remember the whole text, but the famous sentences in it left a deeper impression on him from his previous life to this life.
He put the book back, threw the bag back to Li Si, and asked, "Have you ever thought about writing a copy in person and sending it to the teacher?"
Li Si paused while carrying his luggage, "Teacher...junior brother is right. When we get to Hangu, I will write a copy and send it to his old man immediately."
"After this incident, the post of Tingwei will definitely belong to you. As the ninth minister, you can send people to pick up the family members of Chu State and let them take advantage of it."
Li Si was a little excited when he heard Lu Yan talk about it. After studying for several years, he came to Qin State and finally earned enough face to see his family again.
"Junior brother is right, Li Si is really ten years older."
"Let's talk about looking forward to a bright future later. Dian Wei, speed up."
Lu Yan's family and Li Si rushed to Hangu Pass.
The generals who arrived at the pass in advance on the king's orders were already waiting at the gate.
"Meng Tian has met the Imperial Master."
Lu Yan got out of the car and walked straight forward, "General Meng, no need to be polite. How is the library built?"
Meng Tian replied: "The public transportation wing arrived ten days ago. With the assistance of the public transportation agency, the project will be completed soon."
"Sister Ju Shuang, you go to the arranged accommodation first. General Meng and I have something to do." Lu Yan shouted to his motorcade, took the reins from the soldiers on the side, and prepared to go to the library with Meng Tian, "for foreign guests to stay."
Where is the place?”
"The soldiers have already cleared it out."
"There shouldn't be any foreigners arriving yet, right?"
"not yet."
"Investigate strictly, and if you catch foreigners, send them in directly and let them come to me."
Meng Tian suddenly remembered something again, "Master Imperial Master, if someone insists on leaving, do you want to send someone on the other side of the Yellow River to stop him?"
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "It's going to rain, and my mother is getting married. Those who would rather cross the Yellow River by themselves than stay in Qin, let them go."
"Ahem~"
"What's wrong?"
Meng Tian smiled and got on the horse, "I didn't expect that the Imperial Master would make such vulgar remarks."
"In other words, this is called simplicity. General Meng, please lead the way. Li Si, let's follow."
The three of them, followed by several soldiers, raced all the way to the library, which was still under construction.
Gong Shuyi was directing people to operate the mechanism. When he saw a few people arriving, he came up and reported: "General Meng, Master of the State, this library has been renovated in the former Governor's Mansion. It has a total of three floors and will be completed today."
Lu Yan looked up at the library that had been renovated in ten days and ten nights. He was very satisfied. It was okay for the public to invest in infrastructure construction.
"The library is completed, when will the books arrive?"
Meng Tian replied: "My younger brother Meng Yi is already copying in the camp with the eunuchs. I'm afraid I will have to rely more on the Imperial Master in the past few days."
"Li Si, you are very eloquent. It is up to you to follow General Meng Tian to stop the foreign visitors. I am in charge of this library and must ensure that none of the truly talented foreign visitors can escape from Hangu Pass."
"promise."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he looked to the west in the direction of Xianyang and said, "Your Majesty, you must hurry up in conquering the clan."
After the foreign guests left Qin one after another, Ying Zheng had placed the clan in various important positions of power. There were Tingwei who monitored hundreds of officials, lieutenants who were responsible for the security of the capital, Zhi Su Neishi who was in charge of the treasury, etc. The Great Canal was also handed over to the clan.
He began to supervise the construction.
When the clan members occupied important positions, they first promoted their own members, which caused fierce friction with the Chu State forces surnamed Mi headed by Xiong Qi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Buwei resigned from the position, resulting in the current vacant position of prime minister in the court, and the clan and Chu clan began to fight over the position of prime minister again.
Among the original ministers, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Cai Ze and other talented and prestigious people were all involved, and the whole court was in chaos.
Xiong Qi felt that the king's order to expel guests was extremely stupid, and his connivance with the clan was even more stupid. He had no choice but to go to the palace and ask the old Queen Huayang to come forward and quickly let Ying Zheng marry a Mrs. Chu to curb the arrogance of the clan.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Huayang immediately reprimanded Xiong Qi, "Confused! Haven't you already experienced the methods of the current king? The king has succeeded to the throne since he was a child, and his relatives have been involved in politics. The first thing he did when he came into power was to depose his relatives outside Zhao, which shocked you.
Don't dare to move.
No matter how much the members of the clan do, they are still under the control of the king. At this time, you let me use my grandmother's face to pressure him to marry a wife. Do you still think that my surname Mi is not offensive enough? "
Xiong Qi naturally had less worries when talking to his elders and complained: "But now that this bunch of clowns are in power, there will be chaos in Qin soon. I am afraid that the king has learned a lot about power, but it will not be of any use to the country. I am just
I want the court to be settled as soon as possible to prevent the Six Kingdoms from Shandong from taking advantage of it."
Queen Mother Huayang looked at his suppressed anger and asked: "Isn't it because the court is unstable because you are fighting for power with the clan with the surname Mi? If you don't fight for this power, the court will naturally be stable."
"This...if the clan is really allowed to continue to be arrogant, I don't know how we will be oppressed."
"Even you, Lord Changping, think so, what do you think the officials of the Qin State think?"
After Empress Dowager Huayang said this, Xiong Qi reacted, "I see, Xiong Qi understands."
"Since you were born, you have been on a smooth journey, and you have not been able to endure any grievances. These two experiences have given you a long memory."
"What the Queen Mother teaches is that when I go back, I will ask the people below to slowly give up fighting with the clan. They are so arrogant right now, so naturally the king will take care of them."
Empress Dowager Huayang nodded, "We will discuss the matter of letting the king get a wife after these disturbances have passed."
