Chapter 274 Burning Books and Pitting Confucians [3 More]
Ying Zheng's eyes, who showed his majesty, swept across the people below, and felt the gaze that was as solid as the First Emperor, and the people below could not help but feel the hearts tightened.
The one in front of me is the supreme existence who ruled the world and had a word and a word. In the world of the Qin Dynasty, the words of the First Emperor are just golden words and jade, and no one can disobey them.
This time, Xu Fu actually dared to deceive the First Emperor. In the rage, the alchemists in the world were in trouble.
In addition to those alchemists hiding in the deep mountains and forests, even if they were as powerful as holding jade, they were honestly surrendered under the suppression of the Qin Ruis.
At this moment, Li Si, Hou Sheng and others stood up solemnly, lowering their heads and standing up, not daring to look directly at the eyes of Emperor Shi.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, and the First Emperor could only hear the first emperor say: "You guys have something to say."
Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng looked at each other and bowed to each other, saying, "I have failed to supervise, which has caused Xu Fu to deceive Your Majesty. Please punish us severely."
The expressionless Emperor of First Emperor made him glance at the two of them lightly, his majestic eyes fell on Li Si and said lightly: "Prime Minister, what do you have to say?"
Li Si took a step forward and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, I think you should kill one to warn a hundred to serve as a warning to others."
At this moment, Zhao Gao, who was serving the side, smiled sharply, which was very harsh. However, the First Emperor glanced at Zhao Gao and said, "Central Car Mansion Order, do you have anything to say?"
Zhao Gao showed a smile on his face, and he bent his body and smiled: "Your Majesty, I think all the Confucian scholars who were captured should be killed. These people have been reluctant to naturalize our Great Qin and insist on their own culture. This is actually the source of the unified writing of Your Majesty. You should burn all the books of the six countries and kill these Confucian scholars. Only in this way can we unify our Great Qin and strengthen our foundation."
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but the First Emperor said to Li Si: "The Prime Minister thinks what the advice of the CRRC Mansion Order."
In fact, when Li Si heard Zhao Gao's suggestion, he felt a thrill in his heart. Even though he was from a Legalist, when he heard Zhao Gao's suggestion of burning books and burying scholars, Li Si almost instinctively wanted to refute it, but reason made Li Si suppress the impulse in his heart.
Although Zhao Gao's proposal is suspected of being one-size-fits-all, it is completely in line with the minds of the First Emperor. Even though it is difficult for the emperor to figure out the minds of the emperor for so many years, Li Si was still able to roughly infer his thoughts from some of Ying Zheng's reactions.
If Ying Zheng disagreed with Zhao Gao's proposal, he would only scold Zhao Gao for retreating, and would not ask for his opinion.
As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he has a high position and a powerful position, but facing the emperor in front of him, Li Si knew that his life and death were actually just a matter of thoughts from the other party, and he did not have the ability and courage to oppose the First Emperor.
For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor would never mind using bloody and cruel means to strengthen the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.
So Li Si did not refute, but said: "The CRRC Mansion's order is reasonable, but I think that Your Majesty has the world and should have the courage to win over the world. Among these captured Confucian scholars and alchemists, there should be people who can be used by our Great Qin. I ask Your Majesty to give you a great favor and give these people a chance to serve our Great Qin."
Qin Shihuang laughed when he heard this. The cold and solemn face that had been tense suddenly became much softer, and the stagnant atmosphere in the hall suddenly dissipated.
At this moment, the First Emperor heard the first emperor speak, "Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng, let you and the two of you handle this matter. The CRRC Mansion Order, you will accompany you, burn books and bury scholars, my great Qin will only have one voice, that is, my will, whoever follows me will prosper, and whoever defys me will perish."
Only the First Emperor, who is determined to dominate the world, can say such a domineering word, and it is impossible to refute it.
Hou Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and Lu Sheng and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words of the First Emperor. The feeling of a huge rock pressing on their hearts disappeared in an instant.
Seeing Li Si, Zhao Gao and others leave, the First Emperor stood up from the throne, and his aura surged around him: "My path to immortality is to block the gods and kill the gods, what's the harm in slaughtering the world!"
In the dungeon of Xianyang imperial capital, a heavy iron gate opened, and a team of elite Qin soldiers entered the dungeon with their halberds. Immediately afterwards, Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng and Zhao Gao walked into the dungeon.
The sour smell in the dungeon came to my face, and the few people couldn't help frowning, and Zhao Gao even covered his nose with his sleeves.
Zhao Gao's sharp voice sounded: "Take everyone with you and go to the eastern suburbs."
Fang Xiaoyu stood cross-legged and regained his energy. He tried to break free several times, but he couldn't raise any strength in his body. Finally, he completely gave up the idea of breaking free.
Now suddenly a team of elite soldiers in black armor appeared, and Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a thud.
His eyes fell on Zhao Gao, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng not far away. At a glance, he knew that these three people should be the ones who control the lives and deaths of them.
"Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, are you afraid of besieging colleagues in the world?"
Fang Xiaoyu felt a little moved when he heard this. Among the three, one of them was obviously dressed as an eunuch. In the Qin Dynasty, the most famous eunuch was Zhao Gao, the rank of the CRRC Mansion. If nothing unexpected happens, the other party is Zhao Gao.
And the other two are the legendary Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng.
Legend has it that there are four great alchemists around Emperor Ying Zheng, Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, Han Zhong, and Xu Shi. It is these four people who instigated the First Emperor to seek immortality and Taoism.
I didn't expect that I could see two of them here today. They looked like a fairy-like figure. Judging from the situation, they were also a cultivator, but I just didn't know how strong they were.
Lu Sheng glanced at the man and said expressionlessly: "Take them away."
Teams of Confucian scholars and alchemists were taken out of the dungeon, and hundreds of ox carts pulled the scripts recorded in the six countries that were collected from Xianyang City overnight, and lined up and slipped out of Xianyang City.
In the eastern suburbs of Xianyang City, a black-armored soldier was stationed in all directions, and a huge deep pit had been dug out.
When Zhao Gao, Lu Sheng and others stopped, they saw Zhao Gao waved at a soldier, and the soldier immediately passed Zhao Gao's orders.
While pushing, a team of Confucian scholars and alchemists were pressed into the deep pit. At the same time, countless book scripts on the ox cart were also unloaded and piled up into a pile. Soon, like a hill, there were soldiers holding torches standing by the side with expressionless faces.
Fang Xiaoyu was also pushed to the pit among the group of alchemists, but Fang Xiaoyu was a little dazed at this moment. Why did the scene in front of him feel so familiar?
"Burning books and burying scholars, is this a strong piece of burning books and burying scholars in history?"
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly realized that this scene was just burning books and burying scholars.
Thinking that he would soon be pushed into the deep pit, and with these Confucian scholars and alchemists around him, Fang Xiaoyu had the urge to curse, would he be so miserable? He entered the movie world several times, and it seemed that this time it was the worst, and he didn't even have room to resist.
It’s a pity that the thief system fell into silence, otherwise Fang Xiaoyu would have roared at the thief system.
Several Confucian scholars cursed at Zhao Gao, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, and cursed the First Emperor at the same time. Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but grin when he saw it. He was really trying to die. If you don't see what the situation is now, it seems that there is no benefit for you to curse yourself so much faster.
Nothing happened to Zhao Gao. He gently brushed his sleeves and saw the most powerful Confucian scholars screaming and falling into the pit.
The deep pit was about three or four meters deep, and the soil was wet and almost groundwater oozed out, so the bottom of the deep pit was completely muddy. The scholars fell into it and immediately struggled to climb upwards, and soon became like clay figures.
He covered his nose with his sleeves and coughed lightly. Zhao Gao's sharp voice sounded: "Your Majesty is grateful to you for your talent and learning. For waste, I will open a golden mouth. Those who are willing to serve in the Qin Dynasty can stand up and avoid death."
Fang Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Fortunately, not everyone wanted to kill him, and at least he gave him a chance to choose.
Anyway, Fang Xiaoyu would not go to die stupidly. He is different from these Confucian scholars and alchemists. He is used to being unified in the world and let him be like these alchemists from the remnants of the six kingdoms. If Confucian scholars target the Qin Dynasty, Fang Xiaoyu would not be able to do it.
In Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, the Qin Dynasty was the orthodox world, so Fang Xiaoyu stood up without hesitation and said to Zhao Gao: "Sir, Fang Cheng and Fang Xiaoyu are willing to serve the Qin Dynasty."
Fang Xiaoyu, who looked frank, looked at Zhao Gao, and was naturally open and not afraid. Besides, he recognized Daqin from the bottom of his heart. What he said was from the inside, and the truth could naturally be easily distinguished.
Zhao Gao looked at Fang Xiaoyu with great appreciation, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I, the Great Qin and Liuhe, and unifying the world is the great trend of the world. Anyone who cannot see such a trend is mediocre. What's the point of staying there? Fang Cheng, what do you think?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "The First Emperor unified the world and divided the feudals with counties. He also wrote the same letters, carriages and tracks, and unified weights and measures. He attacked the Huns from the north, conquered Baiyue in the south, built the Great Wall, built the Ling Canal, and communicated with the water system. Such various things are actually the most important things for the present and the future, and are well-deserved emperor of the ages."
Many people couldn't help but curse Fang Xiaoyu when they heard Fang Xiaoyu's praise of the First Emperor. These Confucian scholars from the six nobles naturally had no good feelings for Ying Zheng, who destroyed their country. Fang Xiaoyu, who was originally one of them, suddenly praised Ying Zheng so much, which naturally made these people unable to stand it.
Many people wished to rush up and tore Fang Xiaoyu apart, but Fang Xiaoyu was disdainful of these stubborn Confucian scholars who blocked the torrent of history. Not to mention Qin Shihuang, if he was in Ying Zheng's position, he would also take physical means of elimination against these stubborn elements who hindered the unification of the country.
In the Deer Tribute World, Fang Xiaoyu personally killed many literati and scum who advocated the Qing court, so there was no trace of favorable impression of the Confucian scholars around him.
