Blackbird Hall.
The three Confucian scholars were still shouting and scolding.
The First Emperor looked at the door for the ninth time, but still saw nothing, with a look of impatience on his face.
Looking at the three Confucian scholars, he waved his hand and said: "Drag them down."
A Langguan went to the palace and took off the three Confucian scholars who kept scolding them from the Xuandiao Palace.
Li Si watched all this without making a sound.
He only has an old relationship with Chunyu Yue and has nothing to do with these three Confucian scholars.
The ministers also watched helplessly and remained silent.
They hoped that the First Emperor would deal with the Confucian people as soon as possible and then divide the land quickly.
Ying Chengqiao glanced at the gate of Xuanniiao Palace, frowned slightly, and slowly drank sake.
The First Emperor asked the three remaining Confucian scholars present, "Do you have anything to say?"
After Chunyu Yue was pushed out, his head and eyes were gouged out, the three Confucian scholars sat down again and shivered, shaking their heads together, not even daring to say a word.
"Do you have any unfinished words, gentlemen?"
All the officials shook their heads.
They just want to divide the land and don't want to cause trouble.
The First Emperor nodded, picked up the bamboo slips, and picked up the brush to sketch.
All the ministers watched eagerly, waiting for the First Emperor to continue the enfeoffment.
"Li Si, how do you think I should deal with these three people?"
The First Emperor did not raise his head, and kept moving his hands.
Li Si's heart sank, thinking that he had made the First Emperor dissatisfied by helping Chunyu Yue speak.
If you comply with His Majesty's will at this moment, there may be hope...
At that moment, he raised his hands and said respectfully: "The three people who traveled with me are guilty of the same crime, and they should also receive the same punishment. Not punishing them is not enough to show your majesty's power."
Chunyu Yue was pushed out of the owl's head and his eyes were gouged out.
Li Si didn't even care about the lives of these three remaining Confucian scholars.
"Then do as you say."
"only."
Li Si turned around and waved his hand mercilessly.
Lang Guan entered the palace and took away three Confucian students who were crying and remorseful.
The ministers nodded secretly, this was the Li Si they remembered.
This is how Legalism should treat Confucianism. It seems that Li Si only had an old relationship with Chunyu.
The First Emperor continued to write, but still did not raise his head, and asked Li Si again: "Li Si, what do you think of today's events?"
Your Majesty also wants to attack Confucianism.
Chunyu Yue is dead, what does the life of these disciples of Confucianism have to do with it?
Killing him would be beneficial to me.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Si's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "There is a saying in "Han Feizi": Confucianism corrupts the law with literature. Yesterday, the prison of Tingwei was filled with Confucian students, and today these Confucian students dared to insult Your Majesty. Such disrespect as a Confucian disciple It is decreed that all those who disrespect His Majesty shall be put to death.”
This sentence was like a gust of cold wind blowing into the hearts of the ministers, making them tremble.
Are all Confucian disciples to death?
They are yet to comment on the matter.
I heard Li Si continue to say: "Since they want to restore the Zhou system of enfeoffment, they want your majesty to divide the land. Your majesty can give them all the land. I suggest that they be buried with soil and killed."
Most of the ministers looked unhappy and dissatisfied.
Some are driven by justice in the heart.
If seven Confucian scholars offend with their words, they will kill the entire Confucian family. This punishment is too severe.
Some are born with the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox.
Today he, Li Si, can admonish and kill the Confucian scholars, and tomorrow he can admonish and destroy all of us.
Some are simply dissatisfied with Li Si.
If Li Si hadn't proposed the system of counties and counties, how could there be such talk today?
These courtiers were about to stand up and speak, but they already stood up.
The First Emperor's words were one step ahead of them, resounding throughout the Black Bird Hall.
"Then do as you say."
The ministers who were about to stand up looked at the First Emperor who still did not raise his head and sat down again.
The sense of justice in their hearts, the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox, and their dissatisfaction with Li Si.
At this moment, they were all defeated by their inner awe for the First Emperor.
There are no Confucian disciples in Xuanniao Hall now.
For these courtiers, the benefits of trapping and killing Confucian scholars actually outweighed the disadvantages, no matter how far or near they were.
Close look.
There are only so many seats in the court. People like Fu Sheng and Chun Yuyue are gone, so they will naturally fill the vacant seats.
Look from a distance.
The First Emperor agreed to suppress Confucianism, and the Qin State naturally banned Confucianism altogether.
If Confucianism is beaten to death, then the survival space of other doctrines they have learned will naturally increase.
Even some courtiers are not interested in temple positions or doctrinal disputes.
But they should only be enlightened for their own benefit and not for any benefit, brave the anger of the First Emperor, and speak up for the Confucian scholars who repeatedly insulted the First Emperor today.
They can't.
They are not that noble.
The world is bustling, and everyone is going there for the benefit of others.
"Zhao Gao."
The First Emperor stopped writing and blew the bamboo slips twice.
"I'm here."
Zhao Gao stepped forward respectfully.
"Declaration."
The First Emperor handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Zhao Gao.
"only."
Zhao Gao took it respectfully.
Spreading it in his hand, he faced the officials and said loudly: "I am determined that no Confucian scholars are allowed to see or hear Confucianism in the Qin State. All Confucian scholars detained in Tingwei Prison will be killed immediately and buried under the Dazheng Palace."
All the ministers trembled inwardly, only then did they know.
What Li Si said was not what Li Si meant, but what the First Emperor meant.
Before Li Si said anything about killing these Confucian scholars, the First Emperor had already written the imperial edict.
They only have one thought in their hearts - Confucianism is over.
Chunyu Yue thought that if he died, the First Emperor would be able to show some mercy to the Confucians.
Therefore, Yao Fusheng went to Chang'an Jun's Mansion to obtain Ying Chengyu's edition of the Analects of Confucius, hoping to convince the First Emperor that Confucianism had no ambitions.
Therefore, Confucianism was divided in the Confucian Mansion, the strong men were cut off, and most of the Confucian scholars were trapped in the Tingwei Prison under the Qin Law.
Therefore, today's single-minded pursuit of death gave the First Emperor an excuse to kill him.
But he would not have thought that after he was pushed out of Xuanniiao Palace, the First Emperor would immediately issue an imperial edict to "trap Confucian students and ban Confucianism."
Li Si thought that the First Emperor wanted to attack Confucianism and vent his anger on Confucianism.
Therefore, after discovering that Chunyu Yue could not be saved, he immediately turned to criticize Confucianism.
At this moment, the Zuo Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty had already taken a step forward and went to Tingwei Prison to pick up Confucian scholars together with Zhao Gao.
The post of Tingwei is still held concurrently by Li Si.
Queen Afang did not extend her hand to pat anyone this time, but looked at the Fourth Young Master Ying En.
You can go this time.
Ying En nodded, and as soon as he stood up with his numb legs, he felt his back was patted twice.
"No need."
A very familiar voice to Ying En.
Ying En turned around and saw Ying Chengyu with a smile on his face.
He shouted happily: "Uncle."
"Uncle hasn't played with me for a long time."
"Uncle, give me a hug, give me a hug."
"Uncle, why didn't you come here earlier? Mother doesn't allow us to run around."
"..."
When many young masters and princesses saw Ying Chengyu, they all became very active and gathered around him chattering.
There were a few who were younger and looked to be only five or six years old.
He grabbed Ying Fusu's trousers, raised his chubby little hands, and jumped up and down to ask Ying Chengyu to hold him in his arms.
After the First Emperor issued an imperial edict to kill all Confucian scholars.
These Da Qin masters and princesses cheered and jumped for joy as Ying Chengyu came over.
The First Emperor attached great importance to education, and was influenced by the ethos of the Qin State and was very strict on the education of his children.
Just like how Queen Afang just told the Fourth Young Master Ying En that Ying Chengyu had killed seventeen girls just now - there were no taboos in the royal education of the King of Qin.
These Da Qin masters and princesses all know what it means to kill, and they also know what death means.
They knew that their father's imperial edict would cost many lives, and would cause many people to lose their husbands, sons, and fathers.
But, so what?
What does the death of those people have to do with them?
How could it affect their joy at seeing their favorite uncle?
Li Si, Zhao Gao.
One is serious and the other is respectful and laymanlike.
They sent hundreds of Confucian scholars imprisoned in Tingwei Prison to die.
The ministers were silent.
Even though they don't actually feel much sadness in their hearts.
At this moment, Master Qin and the princesses were making a lot of noise.
The laughter of these little guys is incompatible with the overall atmosphere of Black Bird Hall.
Some courtiers with a strong sense of justice felt that these young masters and princesses were very noisy.
As for Mr. Da Qin, the princesses felt that the banquet should be more lively. These adults were really dull.
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
The joys and sorrows of the world never mix.
Ying Chengyu picked up the three little babies, held them in his arms and teased them, and sat next to Queen Afang. He had no intention of keeping a certain distance from the Queen to avoid suspicion.
The officials saw it.
Secretly observing that the First Emperor was no different, he secretly sighed, "There's nothing wrong with being a jerk, at least it won't arouse His Majesty's suspicion."
"Uncle, eat this, it's delicious."
"Uncle, let me feed you. I feed you delicious food."
"Uncle, don't eat from Eleven. He was just eating his hand, and it was covered with his saliva."
"Twenty, come out. Uncle has been hugging you for a long time. It's time to hug me!"
"Father said, you have to fight for what you want, and don't think about others giving it to you. I fought for it, why should I let it to you?"
The little guys showed their hospitality and kept feeding Ying Chenglong and crawling into Yingcheng's arms.
Ying Chengyu teased the little ones with a smile and stopped looking at the gate of Xuanniiao Hall.
"What do you think, uncle?"
Queen Afang didn't look at Ying Chengyu and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"It was agreed that only the three sons could go, why did the emperor's sister-in-law send someone else?" Ying Chengxuan asked Afang in return.
He touched Ying En's head, leaned over and said with a smile, "I was bullied by that girl Yin Man again."
Ying En is twelve years old and very sensible.
Naturally, he won't act like his younger brothers and sisters.
Hearing this, he just nodded and said nothing more, even though he really wanted to ask his uncle how he killed seventeen women in a row.
Ying En knew that in the past, his uncle, who was a little afraid of his mother, took the initiative to sit next to her, because the two of them must have something to say.
"You valued Fusu so much in the past, why don't you give him another chance today?"
"Don't deceive yourself." Ying Chengyu smiled and shook his head and said: "The third son can't tell him, let alone give him another chance, even if he is given another chance, he will not be able to get out."
Afang sighed softly when he saw that Ying Chengyuan's eyes were always on the many young masters and princesses.
"After the banquet, I will go and bring my nephew out." Ying Chengyu said softly: "From now on, he is just my eldest nephew."
"Favored by all the princes in the court, he is skilled in literature, Taoism and martial arts, and he has the title of eldest son. Everything is ready, but he is a little more indecisive. My uncle also said that among the princes and princesses, only Fusu has a kind heart. Let's look at it again. stop."
"Succeed with a benevolent heart, and defeat with a benevolent heart. He is too benevolent, and he cannot control the Qin State."
Ying Chengyu held up a fat child with both hands and said with a smile: "Xiao Shiba, do you like your elder brother?"
The child was about seven or eight years old. He was picked up by Ying Chengyu and smiled happily. He said with an innocent face: "I like it. Hu Hai likes big brother. Big brother never finds Hu Hai annoying."
"My uncle will take you to play with your elder brother later, okay?"
"good!"
In the original history, an imperial edict forced the eldest son Ying Fusu to death and killed all his brothers and sisters.
After he came to power, he appointed Zhao Gao, increased taxes and punishments, indulged in extravagance, and forced Zhongliang to be killed.
In the great Qin Dynasty, the country was destroyed, and the second son of Qin who could not shirk the responsibility was occupied - Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of the Qin Dynasty.
Nodding his little head desperately, he was very happy to be able to play with his big brother Ying Fusu for a while.
"Come down quickly."
The queen took Ying Huhai, who looked unhappy but did not dare to say anything, from Ying Chengqian's hands.
"The two Queen Mothers also like Fusu very much. Uncle, please think about it again."
"I can't see him in the Black Bird Hall today. It doesn't matter if I, the King of Heaven, like him!"
Ying Chengyu showed a trace of anger.
This anger made Queen Afang's heart sink.
Uncle is really annoyed with Fusu...
Ying Huhai, who had just been put down, ran back to Ying Chengyu's arms. Fatty hugged Ying Chengyu with his body trembling a little.
"Uncle, Hu Hai is afraid. Hu Hai doesn't want his uncle to take him to his elder brother."
Ying Chengyu thought that he had failed to control his emotions just now and got angry, which made Ying Huhai afraid.
He touched Ying Huhai's head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Uncle is not angry. He will take you to find your elder brother soon."
"Hu Hai is not afraid of his uncle, Hu Hai is afraid of his eldest brother." The chubby Ying Hu Hai raised his chubby little hand, pointed at the door of Xuanniao Hall and said: "The eldest brother is holding a sword, and there is a lot of blood on him. The eldest brother must have killed someone, Hu Hai is afraid He also killed Hu Hai."
Ying Chengyu's eyes sparkled and he suddenly turned his head.
The entrance of Xuanniiao Palace.
Someone stepped in.
His face is like thousand-year-old cold iron.
All dressed in white.
The blood-stained sword is held at an angle.
The eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Fusu, had a very serious look in his eyes, not as warm as before.
Behind him are the second young master Ying Gao, the third young master Ying Jianglu, and the fifth princess Ying Yinman.
The four brothers and sisters moved forward step by step, forcing the official Lang Guan who was guarding outside to retreat step by step into the Xuanniao Hall.
"Eldest Young Master, please don't embarrass us. Your Majesty is holding a banquet today and you are not allowed to hold sharp weapons!"
Ying Fusu said nothing but just moved forward.
The smell of blood on the road he walked was pungent.
The fifth princess Ying Yinman said seriously: "Get out of the way quickly. Brother just killed hundreds of people and doesn't mind killing dozens more!"
