Xianyang, Central Academy, when Chen Ping, who was imprisoned, once again embraced the warm sunshine, everything changed drastically.
Mr. Yan Lu defected and disappeared, Mr. Fu Nian was dismissed, Central Academy lost its dean, and everything fell into chaos.
Zhang Liang reached out to dust off Chen Ping's clothes, patted his shoulder, and warned him sincerely: "Okay, Chen Ping, you have been living peacefully at home recently. Remember, be careful with everything.
.”
Chen Ping looked at the familiar buildings and plants around him with a puzzled expression on his face, "Here, Mr. Zhang Liang, what happened to the academy during these days of my confinement?"
Zhang Liang shook his head, took two steps away and said, "Let Ji Bu tell you this. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Yes, I would like to send you off as a student." Chen Ping quickly saluted.
"Ji Bu congratulates you sir."
"Um."
Zhang Liang walked away quickly, leaving only two young men behind.
"Ji Bu, what happened? Where is Mr. Fu Nian? Where is Mr. Yan Lu? Why is Mr. Zhang Liang here-"
"Stop it."
Ji Bu stopped Chen Ping's series of questions, pulled up his sleeves, and said dullly, "Stop asking, we'll talk about it when we go home."
Inside the Central Academy, the atmosphere has become quite strange since it experienced a comprehensive search by the Luowang organization. Both students and teachers are worried about their future.
Chen Ping was dragged home by Ji Bu and passed by countless places in the academy that were usually very lively. For example, there was no one in the martial arts arena, the debate booth, and the reading hall. This made his heart skip a beat and became heavier and heavier.
After arriving home——
"Brother Gao?!"
Chen Ping looked at Gao Jianli who was practicing swordsmanship and opened his mouth in surprise, "When did you come to Xianyang?"
Huhu~
The icy breath of the Shui Han Sword converged, and Gao Jianli sheathed his sword and stood still, responding: "It's been a while, and I originally planned to tell you, but when I thought about you being in solitary confinement, I gave up the idea."
"Brother Gao, you are really..."
Chen Ping pointed at Gao Jianli, then turned to look at Ji Bu, speechless for a moment, "Forget it. Let me first tell you what happened in Xianyang during the days I was detained."
"Chen Ping, that's it. Let's go into the house and let's go..."
Ji Bu turned around first to make sure that the door to his courtyard was closed, and then told the story of Yan Lu's stabbing while walking, and sighed helplessly: "...Now that the academy has suspended classes, everyone is trembling with fear."
Chen Ping figured out the ins and outs of the matter, frowned, blinked with half-squinted eyes, and murmured: "Mr. Yan Lu is also from the Qilin Society. He agrees with Mrs. Nongyu... Could it be that the empire is really hopeless?"
Have you taken the medicine?"
Ji Bu saw that he was a little distracted and couldn't help but glance at Gao Jianli and wink quietly.
Is the Empire hopeless?
A glimmer of light flashed in Gao Jianli's eyes.
According to his observations, many places now under the imperial rule are almost the same as those of the once decadent Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
In the same land of rich and powerful fish and meat, the same common people are burdened with heavy burdens. Where Ying Zheng cannot see, there are countless hidden parasites, eating away at this emerging empire that could have been great.
The country's laws have the function of deterring evil and stabilizing order because of the country's unparalleled enforcement capabilities.
When this execution ability is discovered, penetrated, and corroded, the so-called Daqin law, even if it is all about shocking torture, will still not have any deterrent effect.
The snares in Lu Yan's time were like the rolling thunder in the sky of Qin Dynasty. They could not only destroy evil and eradicate evil, but also light up the night from time to time.
But now, there is indeed thunder in the sky above the empire, but the thunder is black. It hits the ground with a "click", and in the dark night, no one knows who is killed by the lightning.
There is a decadent empire, a group of local tyrants who work hard and work against the will, and a bunch of remnants of nobles from the six countries who are unwilling to give up. However, the emperor Ying Zheng is bent on expanding the territory and conquering the south and the north. How can this country be peaceful?
Gao Jianli lowered his head, stroking the scabbard of the Shui Han Sword with one hand, his eyes slightly closed, and his Adam's apple rolling: "Today's Qin State is definitely not what Mr. Lu Yan wants to see. Mrs. Nongyu defected and established the Qilin Society, clearly intending to overthrow the Qin State. Yan
Mr. Lu is also an accomplice."
"Qilin will not allow the country to be trapped, and the world will be in peace and spring. This is the path they recognize." He opened his eyes, looked at Chen Ping seriously and asked, "What about you, Chen Ping, what is the path you think."
"I,……"
I, Chen Ping, will become a person like the National Master in the future. I can rejuvenate the country with one word and bring the world to its center.
His childhood ideal came to mind, he pursed his lips and exhaled.
"I, even if that is Mrs. Nongyu, I don't agree with the Qilin Society's proposition. Phew~"
Chen Ping struggled repeatedly and finally expressed his opinion. He had been helped by Lu Yan and Nong Yu in his studies when he was a child. Now that he said such objections, he felt embarrassed.
"The rule of the Qin Dynasty is unstable, which can be foreseen from the beginning. Those old nobles will never be willing to drown in the torrent of the times.
Mrs. Nongyu has the influence and blessing of the Imperial Master. Once she officially declares rebellion, it is very likely to trigger a mass response from the old nobles.
The empire currently has half a million troops fighting abroad, and the situation of the war is not yet clear. The civil strife in the Central Plains will surely turn the world upside down. By then, the world will be truly in chaos, war will sweep across China, and the people of Li will fall into even deeper disasters.
Therefore, I do not agree with Qilin’s path of rebelling against Qin. I believe that starting from the imperial court and transforming Qin from top to bottom can we maintain peace and save the people from suffering."
Gao Jianli was not surprised at all that Chen Ping had such an ambitious ambition. He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "So that's it. You suggested that Young Master Fusu marry Li Si's daughter before, just to use him to implement this idea."
"Yes, but it failed, which further affected Mr. Fu Su and failed to obtain the right to open a mansion."
During these days of confinement, Chen Ping was thinking about the imperial court without any distractions, and he had already figured out the joints. Now whenever he mentioned Fusu's marriage, he wanted to slap him to death.
Own.
Fusu was not even a prince, so he persuaded others to win over important ministers of Li Si's level through marriage. This was because he was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would find Fusu so pleasing to his eye that he would have to give Yingzheng eye drops.
In the end, as expected, Ying Zheng was unhappy, and Li Si, Fu Su, and Fu Nian were all unhappy.
"Chen Ping, do you know who is the obstacle on this road and who is the enemy?" Gao Jianli asked.
Does Chen Ping's idea make sense? It does make sense. After all, once the rebellion begins, it is very likely that the world will return to the war between princes.
But Gao Jianli would rather believe that Nongyu has the ability to unify the world again, but has difficulty trusting Chen Ping's method.
Because Chen Ping’s first enemy in doing this was Ying Zheng. In Xianyang, in the imperial court, how to deal with Emperor Ying Zheng?
