Ye Sheng himself has 6,000 crystal nuclei, and adding these 3,000, there are a total of 9,000. With so many, he should be in first place.
Even if Liu Liangfeng of Eternal Immortal Sect obtained the crystal core of Monk Wuxin from Dalin Temple, he still couldn't defeat Ye Sheng.
On the highest peak of the West Mountain, a golden tripod was built. It was very gorgeous and was guarded by the imperial army. It was heavily guarded.
The Second Emperor of Qin and the current queen are at the top of the throne, and below are several noble concubines, among them eldest sister Ye Sheng.
Below are the civil and military officials, headed by the civil official Yasheng Zhou Yuan and the military general Yang Ji, the founding father of the country.
Yang Ji is a one-armed warrior with a fierce temperament and a stern face. Do not let strangers enter.
Qin II looked at the more than a hundred people walking over and said with emotion: "This hunting in Xishan is even more brutal than in previous years."
Yasheng Zhou Yuandao: "Hunting in Xishan is a bit too cruel. We are the pillars of the country. I and others think that it should be reformed."
Civil servants all started to talk about reforming hunting in Xishan. Many people died every time, and many people thought it was inappropriate.
Yang Ji, the founding father of the country, snorted coldly: "Hunting in Xishan has a history of twenty years. It is a rule set by His Majesty the previous generation. How dare you reform it without authorization?"
Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Everything needs to keep pace with the times. Looking at what happened twenty years ago, now, is the founding father making trouble unreasonably?"
"Zhou Yuan, you and other literati just like to reform everything. You have changed the Confucian classics into a mess, and the old Confucians are angry to death." Yang Ji mocked.
The reason why Yasheng Zhou Yuan became Yasheng is because after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, he reformed the Confucian classics with great perseverance, abandoned the dross, took the essence, and integrated the essence of Legalism, Mohism, etc. to create New Confucianism.
He also preached to the world and taught widely. There were tens of thousands of colleges in the entire Qin Dynasty, 60% of which were his former students, teaching the New Confucianism he created so that everyone could learn it.
This achievement enabled him to receive the descendants of the Hundred Saints in the Hundred Saints Confucian Temple and be crowned the Lesser Saint.
What Zhou Yuan did back then aroused a lot of criticism. Countless old Confucians and bitter Confucians were scolding him. The literary world was divided and the country was affected. Countless people impeached Zhou Yuan. The impeachment memorial is as follows.
Snowflakes flew like snowflakes and landed on Qin II's table.
Fortunately, Qin II had just ascended the throne, and what needed to be done was reform. He suppressed these voices and fully supported Zhou Yuan. Only then did Zhou Yuan enter the Hundred Saints Confucian Temple and read out his New Confucianism to the Hundred Saints under the gaze of Confucian scholars all over the world.
In the end, the Hundred Saints came to rectify Zhou Yuan's name, and now the name of the Lesser Saint is worthy of the name.
New Confucianism likes reform. Whether it is court affairs, official system, or military reform, all of these were reformed in an orderly manner under the auspices of Zhou Yuan.
So far, only the reform of the army is left, and it is the most difficult to carry out, because the army is the territory of the founding father, Zhenhaihou, Lord Ye and others, and no one else can interfere. Even Qin II would have a hard time intervening.
Zhou Yuan looked at the founding father with a cold expression and said: "As a general, you should take care of your own army. I and other civil servants are responsible for the affairs of the court. There is no need for military commanders to manage it. Your Majesty has made countless reforms since he ascended the throne. Every time
All of them have made the country prosperous, which is enough to prove the benefits of reform. Every time Xishan hunts, hundreds of young talents die. They do not die on the battlefield, not by the enemy, but die in the hands of their own people. How sad. Such disadvantages,
What’s the point of keeping it without reform?”
"Are you ignoring the old emperor?" Founding Duke glared at Zhou Yuan. He was promoted by the old emperor, so he was naturally loyal to the old emperor. Moreover, he hated Zhou Yuan's reforms so much that he reached out to the army.
Now the court is ruled by Neo-Confucianism. It is cloaked in the guise of Confucianism, but underneath it is the bones of Legalism. It is extremely hypocritical.
"Well, there are still two years left for the next Xishan Hunting. During these two years, we can discuss as much as we want. I also think it's time for reform." Qin Er said calmly, interrupting the quarrel between Zhou Yuan and Founding Duke.
.
Zhou Yuan immediately shut up and stood silently.
The founding father was a little angry. His Majesty liked to favor Zhou Yuan. Over the years, Zhou Yuan's reforms were drastic and offended people everywhere. If it weren't for the protection of Qin II and Zhou Yuan's own strength, he would have died on the way.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Ye Sheng and others walked in.
"It's great to congratulate you for your triumphant return. This time, 300 people went in, and more than 180 people came out. It's tragic. I wonder how many crystal nuclei everyone has?" Qin Er smiled and asked in a broad voice.
.
Downstairs, Concubine Ye Guifei had been looking for Ye Sheng and was very nervous. When she saw Ye Sheng walking in unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, completely relaxed and watched with satisfaction.
"No, where is Ye Kun?" Concubine Ye suddenly realized something was wrong.
Ye Kun, the eldest son of Prince Ye's Mansion, is not in the team.
what does that mean?
Ye Kun is dead. He was killed while hunting in Xishan.
Not only Concubine Ye Guifei discovered the problem, but the Queen also discovered it. Her face darkened and she said, "Didn't Ye Kun, the eldest son of Ye Mansion, come out?"
When the queen asked, everyone noticed that Ye Kun was really no longer there.
Yang Ji frowned and felt a conspiracy coming over him. Ye Kun actually died while hunting in Xishan?
Ye Kun didn't come out.
Everyone who participated in the Xishan Hunting looked left and right, and were surprised to find that Ye Kun was not there.
he died!
Who killed him?
Qin Er narrowed his eyes and watched quietly without saying a word.
The queen was very beautiful. She was the wife of Qin II, and she later became the queen. Her natal family was the Zhang family, one of the five aristocratic families in the Qin Dynasty. Prince Ye's eldest wife also came from the Zhang family, so Ye Kun
Strictly speaking, he is the nephew of the queen, and Ye Kun is also the eldest son of the Ye family. The queen is naturally concerned and wants to build a relationship and bring Ye Kun to her son's side.
But I didn't expect that this time during the Xishan Hunting, Ye Kun, who had the loudest voice, did not come out alive.
No one answered the queen and looked at each other in confusion. Even these people were shocked to realize that Ye Kun did not appear during the entire hunting process in Xishan.
Who killed Ye Kun?
This question lingers in everyone's mind.
"Your Majesty, this is what I said. It is too cruel. Even Prince Ye's eldest son has fallen into it and needs to be reformed." Zhou Yuan Zaidu mentioned.
The founding father shouted angrily: "Now that Ye Kun has been killed, are you still talking about reforms? Shouldn't the murderer be found immediately?"
The queen also immediately said: "If we want to find the murderer, we must give an explanation to Prince Ye."
Qin II listened quietly without saying a word.
But Zhou Yuan angrily yelled: "What's the explanation? When participating in the hunting in Xishan, didn't everyone know that someone would definitely die? Since Ye Kun dared to come to participate and was killed, it was within the rules. Why should he be alone?
Looking for the murderer, more than a hundred people died this time, why don’t you look for the murderer on everyone?”
"In addition, such national affairs are decided by His Majesty, and no one else can give orders. If we are looking for Ye Kun's murderer now, then who should we look for when so many people were killed in the past years?" Zhou Yuan said coldly, shocking the whole audience.
Even the founding father of the country couldn't resist Ya Sheng's aura.
Zhou Yuan said these words to the founding father, and he was righteous, but the implication behind the words was to scold the queen not to get involved.
The queen's face turned green and white, and she looked at Zhou Yuan coldly.
