"Confiscating the classics?"
Upon hearing that it was about confiscating the classics, Ying Zheng's face darkened visibly.
This traitor!
Don’t you still understand why you want to lock him up?
Looking at Ying Zheng's suddenly changed expression, Zhao Gao felt happy in his heart.
He originally thought about how to trap Fusu in prison, but now it was good. Before he could figure out what to do, Fusu started to seek death on his own!
Your Majesty is worried about this matter, but Mr. Fusu keeps pushing forward.
Just when Zhao Gao was secretly happy, Ying Zheng finally spoke.
"Send it over! I want to see what this traitor has to say!"
Zhao Gao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the bamboo slip, handed it to Ying Zheng respectfully, and then stepped aside.
I saw Ying Zheng unfolding the bamboo slips with a gloomy expression. After just one glance, he was attracted by the contents.
The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
When Zhao Gao saw this, his heart couldn't help but move.
Why didn't His Majesty get angry?
Just when Zhao Gao was confused, he saw Ying Zheng closing the bamboo slips in his hands and looking at the attendant kneeling on the ground.
"How about Fusu being in prison?"
The attendant lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head, "Your Majesty, the eldest son met a Confucian scholar in prison, and they had a very happy conversation."
Ying Zheng was a little confused when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows, "Who is the Confucian scholar?"
"This man's name is Ran Fang. I went to investigate on the order of the young master. This man is no different from an ordinary Confucian scholar. It's just that the jailer said that after he was in prison, he never said anything about your majesty. , which is a little different from other Confucian scholars."
"Is that so?"
Ying Zheng looked surprised, but it only took a moment for him to return to normal.
But deep down in his heart, he was thinking about this person. The fact that he was still so calm in prison showed that this person's character was extraordinary.
"What else did this person say?"
The attendant did not dare to hide anything and told everything Ran Fang said in court today.
"Because of these words, those Confucian scholars have become much quieter today."
"It's like this..." After listening to the attendant's words, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with inquiry. So this person is really a genius.
If there really is someone with real talent and learning, then it is not impossible to keep it as your own.
But if it is a person who is seeking fame and reputation, then he will be killed.
"I'll show off to Xianyang Prison tomorrow!"
"promise."
…
The next day, outside Xianyang Prison.
Zhao Gao followed Ying Zheng with his body hunched over.
"Your Majesty, arrangements have been made so that the eldest young master and Ran Fang will not discover you."
After Ying Zheng said he was going to Xianyang Prison yesterday, Zhao Gao felt that this was an opportunity, a perfect opportunity to eradicate Fusu.
If Ying Zheng hadn't been present, maybe Mr. Fusu would have said something treacherous.
If this angers Ying Zheng, Fu Su will never be able to apologize!
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Zhao Gao's arrangement.
What he wanted was to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ran Fang and Fu Su without anyone noticing.
He wanted to see if this Ran Fang was just a facade, or if there was really something extraordinary about him.
"Let's go, I want to hear what else they have to say today!"
In the prison at this time, according to Fusu's request, Ran Fang and he were already in the same cell in order to better discuss some things.
But what the two of them didn't know was that Ying Zheng was already sitting in the prison next door.
Ran Fang looked carefree, which was in obvious contrast with Fusu who was sitting there.
But his appearance gave him a bit of an out-of-this-world air, as if he didn't care much about anything in the world.
"This doctrinal dispute is, to put it bluntly, a political dispute and a battle of life and death."
"When various doctrines arose, it was because all the vassal states wanted to unify the world, so they needed some doctrines to stabilize people's hearts."
"In order to enrich the country and strengthen the military, various countries have recruited talents. Because the political power of various academic groups is relatively independent, they have given a chance to all kinds of knowledgeable and capable people."
"Now that the world is unified, if different schools of thought are still arguing, it will not be a good thing for the people and your majesty to a certain extent. Therefore, your majesty's submission of books is fundamentally for the steady development of the Qin Dynasty."
Fusu nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He had never thought about it this way, but after all, he had always learned how to govern a country. When Ran Fang said this, he instantly understood.
"Sir, what you said makes sense, but I am being shallow."
Ying Zheng, who was in the next room, looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
Since the order to hand over the documents was issued, many people in the world have been saying something wrong with him. Some ministers in the court also said that he felt that this was an unreasonable disaster.
Although some people support book burning, it is only for their own interests.
This was the first time that someone thought about the problem from his perspective and believed that he was right to hand in the book and that it was a helpless act for the sake of the world.
This person knows his heart well.
Zhao Gao, who was standing next to him, had been watching Ying Zheng. When he heard Ran Fang say this, a look of shock flashed in his eyes. Could this be the truth behind the book that His Majesty handed over?
But looking at Ying Zheng's face as usual, he felt that it shouldn't be the case.
He has been with Ying Zheng for many years, how could he not know what Ying Zheng was thinking?
In the room, Ran Fang hadn't finished speaking yet.
"His Majesty came into power at the age of nineteen. In the following twenty years, he worked hard to govern, worked diligently and loved the people, swept through the six countries and unified the world, and created a legacy that will last forever! It can be said that his achievements are eternal and his blood will last forever!"
"He can truly be called the emperor of the ages!"
In just a few sentences, Ying Zheng's first half of his life was summarized.
It was these few words that shocked everyone who heard them.
Especially Ying Zheng, his expression became stern, his whole aura changed, and he was overflowing with domineering power.
"One emperor through the ages!"
No one has ever spoken to him like this before, but when he heard this title, he felt that this was his long-cherished wish and the goal he pursued.
Unexpectedly, a young Confucian scholar said it!
Could it be that everyone in the world thinks so?
Fusu next door heard someone call his father that way for the first time. He was extremely surprised and his face was full of surprise.
"Sir, do you really think so of your father... His Majesty?"
"That's natural!"
Ran Fang smiled confidently, but his next words shocked many people in the prison.
"But it seems that His Majesty was a little stupid in hastily issuing this decree without thinking about what to do with the collected books."
“It’s nothing to be lit on this pile of firewood by all parties now, and it’s nothing to not be lit.”
"If I end up burning books, I'm afraid I will be reviled by the world."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gao's eyes flashed in the cell next door, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this beast is so bold! I suggest this..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gao was interrupted by Ying Zheng's eyes.
"Don't worry, let's listen to his wise words first."
At this time, Fusu's eyes twitched when he heard Ran Fang saying that his father was a bit stupid.
Ran Fang is the only one who dares to say this about his father.
"Sir, isn't the method of repairing the book you proposed earlier just to solve this problem? Can you please explain in detail how this book should be repaired so that the best of it can be extracted and the dross removed?"
