Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Li Shui, then said slowly: "Huaiguzi, don't try to be mysterious, just bring it up for me to take a look at."
After saying that, Ji Ming walked down the steps and handed up the scroll in Li Shuai's hand.
Ying Zheng unfolded the scroll and looked at it.
At first glance, it is really difficult to accept it. I guess the fonts used now have fewer strokes and the lines seem messy, but there are still traces to follow.
If you look carefully, it seems that the font used now has been greatly simplified.
And when written in this font, it looks more free and casual.
Ying Zheng looked at it for a while and said slowly: "Qin Jiu."
Li Shui cupped his hands to Ying Zhenggong and said, "Your Majesty, it's exactly these two words."
Ying Zheng nodded and said slowly: "Did you design this word?"
Li Shui replied: "I just thought of a prototype, and Mr. Qi wrote this font based on my prototype and his own understanding."
Ying Zheng said slowly: "Well, it's interesting."
"This font is a bit unfamiliar at first glance, but after looking at it for a while, I found that the strokes are vigorous and powerful, and it looks a bit chic."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that's exactly what I meant."
"Now Lord Qi and his ministers are bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, brewing new wine for the Qin Dynasty."
"In addition, Mr. Qi is knowledgeable, enlightened and tolerant, and his thoughts are several times stronger than those who are stuck in their ways."
"Besides, Mr. Qi has a son in his old age, which is when he is full of energy, so I chose to let Mr. Qi design this font."
"Master Qi has indeed lived up to his expectations. This font is exactly what I had in mind."
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.
Ying Zheng continued: "This font is also suitable for pouring on Qin wine containers."
“Drinks are inherently casual and fun, and this font is just right for it.”
Li Shui bowed his head and said yes.
Then Li Shui turned to the Confucian scholar and said: "Master Qi not only has not deviated from his duties these days, he has even contributed to the cultural prosperity of Da Qin."
"Maybe thousands of years later, some people will continue to use this font, and even form calligraphy to pass it on."
"In this way, there is hard work without credit. Besides, Mr. Qi himself did not expect to gain any fame or fortune from it."
"What achievements have you made recently? What contribution have you made to Great Qin?"
The Confucian scholar was a little confused by Li Shui's series of questions, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Li Shui saw this and sneered: "So, you didn't make any contribution?"
"People who don't even have the merit of size are still here making irresponsible remarks to people who are bent on plotting against Great Qin."
"To say you are jealous is an understatement. Now I suspect that you just don't like Da Qin."
Li Shui turned around and raised his hands to Ying Zhenggong and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen this man a lot."
"Those who stick to the old ways and are self-contained will hate seeing others introduce new things."
"If this person had been in Xiaogong's time, I'm afraid Shang Jun would not have survived for three days, let alone the implementation of the policy of reform and strengthening."
Seeing this, the Confucian scholar knelt on the ground and pointed at Li Shui, unable to speak a complete sentence: "You, you..."
Li Shui continued: "Your Majesty, I am not targeting this person, nor am I incapable of listening to different opinions."
"But if you slander other ministers for no reason and try to hinder the development of the Qin Dynasty, I would like to ask your Majesty to deal with such people severely."
"What's more, this person has ulterior motives. He first accused Dr. Chunyu, and when the impeachment failed, he pointed the finger at Mr. Qi."
"Mr. Qi is famous for his poor speech in the court. He who bullies the weak and fears the strong, picks up the weak and ignores the facts is really unworthy of continuing to assist His Majesty."
"I ask your Majesty to let this person go back to his old ways and learn Confucianism again."
The Confucian scholar collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly, and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of harming the Qin Dynasty."
Li Shui sneered and said: "You haven't harmed the Qin Dynasty yet? You think you have learned a little bit about Confucianism, so you tricked His Majesty into taking down Master Qi."
"If His Majesty listens to you today, who will you let His Majesty take tomorrow?"
"Your Majesty is the Majesty of the Qin Dynasty, and is your Majesty for eternity. How can you let your mouse excrement disturb the hearts of the civil and military officials in the dynasty?"
The Confucian scholar was speechless and muttered: "I have no such idea, and I had no intention of impeaching Dr. Chunyu from the beginning."
Li Shui said slowly: "If you say this, do you think Dr. Chunyu will believe it?"
"The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are all people who work hard for the prosperity and development of the Qin Dynasty, but you are not among them."
"Only you know best what you think."
The Confucian scholar cried bitterly, looked at Chun Yuyue who was standing in front, and said with tears: "Dr. Chunyu, I will never dare to impeach you."
When Li Shui heard this, he seemed to have caught something again, and immediately asked: "Oh? Don't you dare? Dr. Chunyu and I are equal officials in the court."
"Does Dr. Chunyu have any special status? If Dr. Chunyu makes a mistake, is it necessary to ignore the mistake?"
"Are you afraid to say that? Are you afraid of Dr. Chunyu, or do you think the officialdom under His Majesty's rule is dark?"
After the Confucian scholar finished speaking, he regretted it, slapped himself twice in the mouth, and cried hastily: "That's not what I meant."
After Chunyu Yue listened to what the Confucian scholar said, his face turned blue and white.
I thought to myself: What on earth is this? Who brought me in at that time? How could such a stupid person practice Confucianism?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t make yourself look good, it really brings discredit to the Confucian disciples.
If there were a few more similar people, Your Majesty would probably have a greater blow to Confucian scholars, and they would no longer have a foothold in the future.
Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue shuddered, Confucianism cannot be ruined in his own hands.
Nowadays, the spread of Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty is headed by himself, and he must take on this responsibility.
Chunyu Yue stood up, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have no connection with this person."
"I also sneer at this person's words and deeds. This person's words and deeds cannot represent the many Confucian scholars who are plotting against His Majesty and the Great Qin."
"I am very resistant to people who make random suspicions and even impeach colleagues for no reason."
"I request your Majesty to punish this person severely."
When the Confucian scholar saw this, he collapsed on the ground, his eyes were lifeless, and he was very desperate.
He originally wanted to grab Chun Yuyue as a life-saving straw, but he didn't expect that Chun Yuyue ignored him and even kicked him.
The Confucian scholar was very disappointed. He had always regarded Chunyu Yue as his idol, but he didn't expect that he would not be impeached today and would be punished instead.
He is still wondering why he was led astray by Li Xin in the first place when he clearly had no intention of targeting Chun Yuyue.
Did Li Xin see through him from the beginning? So he intervened forcefully and let everyone completely misinterpret his meaning.
The Confucian scholar was filled with regret at this time, but when he looked up, except for Li Shui's smiling face, everyone else turned a blind eye to him.
The Confucian scholar knelt on the ground and said slowly to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, minister, please punish your Majesty..."
