"The day before yesterday, some Confucian scholars gathered in public to slander His Majesty and openly insulted His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and issued an imperial edict to arrest all Confucian scholars in the world, especially the Confucian scholars in Juxian Hall who caused all this. This is the imperial edict, who
If you have any doubts, just come forward and take a look!”
What?
As soon as Guo Dong's words came out, everyone was shocked. Immediately, someone stepped forward angrily, pointed at Guo Dong and yelled: "Guo Dong! Have you forgotten that you were also a member of Juxian Hall? Could it be that you
Do you really think that after you leave Juxian Hall, you will have nothing to do with Juxian Hall!? How is your behavior any different from a traitor?"
Guo Dong kept being scolded very calmly. After the other party finished scolding him, he asked the other party in a calm tone: "May I ask my brother, what family and sect?"
The other party snorted angrily: "I am the Confucian scholar you just said you wanted to arrest!"
Guo Dong nodded: "Brother, can you come out and allow me to say a few rude words?"
The other party was stunned. He didn't expect Guo Dong to react like this, but he was confident that there were many people at this time. Guo Dong would not do anything to him in public, so he walked out and stood in front of Guo Dong: "I stand with you.
If you have anything you want to say or do in front of me, just come and do it!”
Guo Dong ignored him and saluted him first, and then saluted other people in the Juxian Hall: "Everyone, later Guo will have some actions and words that are very rude and vulgar. It's not Guo.
The intention is to do this or to target someone, but to make it easier for everyone to understand something, so if there is anything that offends or annoys everyone, please forgive me and ask this brother to understand. Guo Mou is public-minded, and since
Da Qin is also here to promote the virtuous hall, and it is definitely not for my own personal gain. Please be aware of this!"
After saying this, Guo Dong saluted the Confucian scholar who stood up again: "Brother, I'm offended!"
After finishing speaking, Guo Dong didn't wait for the other party's reaction. He rounded his arms and hit the other party's face with a slap in the face.
He took one step to support him, but he probably fell to the ground immediately.
"WIM!"
The Confucian scholar who was slapped by him was very angry. When he heard Guo Dong's insults, he couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed towards them with red eyes, but Guo Dong subdued him in a few times, and then let go and let him go.
Someone stopped him.
"Guo, why did you beat and insult Brother Li for no reason!?"
Many people immediately complained about the Confucian scholar. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu also frowned fiercely and hesitated before saying anything.
"Everyone, can you listen to me?"
This is the Juxian Hall, and they are all well-educated people who know how to read and understand etiquette. Moreover, Qian Guodong made a very good impression on people when he was still in the Juxian Hall. Many brothers also worked in the Xianyang garrison because of him.
He got a good job, and the person in charge of Juxian Hall now is his master. Naturally, many people will actually give him a favor.
"Everyone, I am the general of the Xianyang garrison, and this brother is just a civilian Confucian scholar. In terms of age, I think I am a few years older than him. When it comes to martial arts and strategy, Guo is not bragging, and should not
How much weaker than Xiongtai. In terms of background, I am the current uncle of the country and a disciple of the Xiang family of Chu State, while Xiongtai, if I remember correctly, is just a commoner in Guizhou!"
After Guo Dong said this for a moment, he looked at the displeased expressions on the ground and smiled and said: "Everyone, when Guo said this, he did not mean to say how tall or good I am, nor did he mean to belittle the leaders and heroes of all parties.
Please know this. I am just saying this to make a more intuitive comparison. I do not say that I am nobler than this brother, but at least I can say that we are equal. But I just hit this brother and scolded him.
After saying this to this brother, this brother is so angry, you should have seen it!"
"Then think about it, now that some Confucian scholars have gathered to insult your Majesty today, will your Majesty be angry? At least on an equal footing, and even if I want to force myself on this brother in all aspects, I did these things before I said anything, all of which attracted this brother's attention.
Furious, you can imagine how your Majesty feels! Not to mention that your Majesty is now the king of a small country with a population of less than ten thousand, not to mention that he is now the king of a small country with only ten thousand people. How will you react if someone is so humiliated? "
Everyone was stunned. They were just angry and confused, but they didn't think about this at all. They didn't want to be slapped by Guo Dong at this time. A curse was a very simple and intuitive explanation!
It shows that even if they want to refute, they can't.
"This brother just said that I am a traitor! You don't know that your Majesty originally left this matter to someone else, that is, the actual owner of the Loyalty Hall across the street. I did not hesitate to offend your Majesty and this powerful person.
Sir, I took this matter to myself. At least I still remember that I used to be a member of the Juxian Hall. At least now I come in alone to see you, and tell everyone all the reasons, instead of directly sending troops.
No matter whether they are real or fake Confucian scholars, they will be forcibly arrested at once. At least I can guarantee that the people arrested are only Confucian scholars and will not affect other people!"
Everyone was stunned, they had not thought of these aspects at all!
How else can I say that I am useless and a scholar?
"Mr. Gaoyi, we have misunderstood him! He has sacrificed for this, and we will not shy away from him. Confucian disciples and brothers, please go out with me. We will follow you on this trip."
!”
This person is also a very famous person in Juxian Hall, especially among Confucian scholars. Therefore, with his greeting, all the Confucian scholars stood up one after another and followed Guo Dong out very cooperatively.
He went to Juxian Hall and was escorted into a prison van covered with black cloth and taken away.
Some people say that Guo Dong had 60,000 troops, so why didn't he just rush in and arrest them instead of going to such great lengths?
However, can you think about it? It is simple to arrest people, but actually arresting people does not ruin your reputation, but makes people more admired. Such a result cannot be achieved by rushing in and arresting people rudely. Although in this way,
It takes a little effort, but what you get is something that is hard to get in ordinary times!
"Your Majesty, after a thorough investigation by my ministers, the more than two hundred Confucian scholars captured by my uncle have all confessed one by one. This is their confession. Please take a look at it!"
A few days later, all the Confucian scholars in Xianyang City were arrested. Of course, there were many who escaped, but the number of more than 200 people was enough.
"Hmph! What a bunch of Confucian scholars! What a bunch of Confucian scholars! Zhao Gao! Form a party for personal gain, intend to cause chaos, commit disobedience, and slander the emperor. What should we do according to the law?"
Zhao Gao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to law, these crimes should be beheaded in public!"
"Father, I suspect that these people were beaten into submission!"
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Fusu stepped forward to refute.
Everyone was stunned. Only Zhao Gao was very calm about this. Wei Ke looked at Guo Dong and then first saluted Qin Shihuang, then turned around and saluted Fu Su: "Master,
Can you please allow me to defend myself?"
Zhao Gao's attitude was so low, and naturally he had to listen to the other party's excuses for such matters, so even though Fusu was reluctant, he still couldn't stop him.
"Your Majesty, Young Master, and all of you gentlemen! The person who arrested these Confucian scholars this time is the uncle of the State. There are 239 people in total. Each of them has a name, a place of origin and a teacher. They are all from the same school. This ensures that they are not arrested by mistake.
Innocent! The interrogation was left to me. However, I can guarantee that although these Confucian scholars were interrogated, there was no whipping punishment at all. It was completely based on emotion and reason.
Confucian scholars are willing to admit it with their own words!"
At this point, Zhao Gao raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If you don't believe me, I have a list of these Confucian scholars here. You can choose and name them at will. Even if your majesty allows, you can take off your clothes and bring them to the hall now, but you can do it in public."
Check whether there are any scars on their bodies caused by torture or forced confessions!"
Who said that interrogating prisoners must be tortured, with whips and irons? Deprived of sleep, deprived of water and food, locked in a small dark room, etc. There are too many ways to achieve the results he wants without leaving scars, especially when he dismantles
After getting Guo Dong's off-road vehicle and assembling a simple electrocution machine using mainly motor parts, it was not easy to perform a quick and easy blow without leaving any scars.
This is what Guo Dong reminded him. Anyway, as long as the result is the same, then the process might as well be done so that there is no clue. Not only will he save trouble, but he can also get a certain good reputation. At least now it is much better than what he originally planned.
Got it!
Fusu didn't believe it, so he actually named several people, asked Qin Shihuang for permission, and then sent the imperial army to pick it up. After taking off his clothes, he inspected it. The result was naturally to his great disappointment that there were no injuries at all.
Qin Shihuang trusted Zhao Gao even more and was dissatisfied with Fusu. Therefore, when Zhao Gao connected the Confucian incident with the Juxian Hall, especially the large number of descendants of the Six Kingdoms nobles in the Juxian Hall, he immediately became dissatisfied with Fusu.
This made Qin Shihuang furious. Under the guidance of Li Si, he immediately became furious and wanted to kill all these people in one fell swoop.
"Father! These Confucian scholars are a little extreme in their words, but they have good intentions! They advised my father to reduce taxes, military service, and stop wasting money and people. It is a good medicine but a bitter taste! If they are dealt with like this, I am afraid no one will
If you dare to speak out and remonstrate again, the world will be in turmoil because of this! Father!"
Fusu was capable, but he was too rigid, too naive, and had no discernment at all. He was talking happily, but he didn't even notice Qin Shihuang's increasingly angry expression!
"Your Majesty, the general will have different opinions!"
Before Qin Shihuang could get angry, Guo Dong, who was standing at the back of the royal study, suddenly stood up.
