After hearing Zeng Lu's words, Shi Xuanni and Meng Qiu were silent.

This is absolutely true.

If Chen Ke is released and wants to be a lackey, countless people will be willing to come.

After all, Chen Ke is now the most popular person in front of the First Emperor.

The teacher of Prince Fusu and Prince Hu Hai, the good friend of Li Si and Wang Jian, the head of the Nine Qing Dynasties, and the popular figure in front of Ying Zheng.

Among them, any one person's share is already huge.

Let alone showing all the identities together?

Zeng Lu handed the document in his hand to the two people in front of him: "Let's take a look. This is what the young master asked us to do."

His expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to find this matter difficult.

"It's easy to say."

"If Confucians want to have a separate palace, then we must make some efforts."

"We can't touch the Confucian connections in the past——"

"Of course, that old guy Kong Xian will definitely not let us continue to touch him."

Zeng Lu had a sarcastic look on his face: "The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and other books are still usable, but other books are not."

"Of course, even among these usable books, they must be carefully selected."

Zeng Lu squinted her eyes and immediately understood what Chen Ke meant.

"I think it's not just us Confucians."

"Among the hundreds of schools of thought, even Mohism and Legalism, I am afraid that those with political tendencies must be eliminated."

Zeng Lu glanced at the two of them, with a heavy look on her face.

"Your Majesty and Da Qin don't need people with political leanings. All they need is our things."

"Just the skin, not the bones."

Meng Qiu looked at the document in his hand and sighed quietly, with a bit of fatigue on his face.

"I really didn't expect it to be like this."

He shook his head: "There are not many articles in Mencius that involve political opinions."

"This is easy to delete."

"I have never read Xunzi, but the Analects is similar to Mencius."

"However, it is necessary to delete the words "benevolence" and "self-denial and restoration of propriety". "

Meng Qiu didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting, and directly began to revise the Confucian books.

He picked up a book directly from the desk and started sketching on it.

“These are to be removed, these are to be left in.”

Meng Qiu said while deleting: "Since the young master has said to look at our performance, then we will do it neatly."

There was a slight gloominess in his eyes.

"So what if there is no suitable article praising the Qin Dynasty? You and I are all Confucians."

"You are a descendant of Zengzi, and I am a descendant of Mencius."

"Who between you and me can have any opinion on the revision of Confucian classics?"

"the Kongs?"

Meng Qiu sneered disdainfully: "Of course Kong Xian has such backbone, but the Kong family does not."

"You guys keep an eye on it."

"His Majesty's thunderous wrath has not yet descended, and the old man is still staying outside."

"But the Kong family must have started to react."

"Within a month, the Kong family will definitely react, and they will directly fall to Da Qin's preparations."

Meng Qiu shook his head: "You change Zengzi, and I will change Mencius."

"Then the two of us will work together to write some articles, put them into Zengzi and Mencius, and then submit them to the Shaofu for review."

"By the time the Confucius family reacted, we had already completed the compilation of the two books of Zeng and Meng."

"Zengzi and Mencius are as famous as the Analects of Confucius."

"If people from the Kong family have any objections, tell them that you and I are not direct descendants of the Kong family. We are of low status and cannot modify the Analects."

"So I can only modify the books of my ancestors."

Meng Qiu put down the book in his hand and looked at Zeng Lu sitting there.

"how?"

Zeng Lu's eyes also lit up, and he smiled slightly, looking upright and awe-inspiring.

"That's what Brother Meng said."

"You and I are not direct descendants of the Confucius family, how can we modify Confucius' books?"

"Let's revise Zengzi and Mencius first and hand them over to the Shaofu for processing."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Baijia Palace

The moon is like a hook, falling gently on the ground, spreading a silvery white light.

The green bricks on the ground and the bright moon above the sky reflect each other, making it look very bright.

Xiao He sat under the moon, looking at the approaching figure not far away, holding his breath slightly.

He was a little nervous.

Anyone who, as an ordinary scholar, receives a letter from the head of the nine ministers of the dynasty and the most popular person in front of the emperor, and asks him to talk to him, will be excited.

Xiao He slowly slowed down his breathing. He was too nervous just now and felt a little out of breath.

He looked at the figure walking in the distance with reverence on his face.

Chen Ke brought out papermaking technology, block printing and other things, which has already captured the hearts of many scholars.

Although Xiao He thinks highly of himself, he does not feel that he is smarter than Chen Ke.

When Chen Ke's figure walked under the moon, Xiao He quickly stood up.

"The student has met Mr. Chen."

Bending down to salute, everything seemed normal.

Chen Ke also has a name in Baijia Palace, and is the nominal Doctor of Baijia Palace.

It's not a loss for Xiao He to call him "Mr."

Chen Ke smiled slightly, looked at Xiao He and said, "Sit down."

He said gently: "But you've been waiting for a long time?"

Xiao He quickly shook his head. Although he was still nervous, seeing how peaceful Chen Ke was, he couldn't help but relax a lot.

"No, no, I just arrived, I just arrived."

Xiao He scratched his head in embarrassment, he was still a little uncomfortable.

So, he took the initiative to start the conversation and said, "Mr. Chen, I wonder why you asked your disciple to come out tonight?"

Chen Ke smiled slightly and handed the thing in his hand to Xiao He.

This move has the support of the emperor.

"Look."

"I am going to divide Baijia Palace into the following situations. You are a disciple of Baijia Palace."

"As a student, do you think this division is appropriate?"

After Xiao He heard this, he quickly lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

While watching, he was saying something.

At this time, Chen Ke seemed to have thought of something and spoke again.

"You are number one in this literary competition, and you will definitely become an official in the court."

"If you are granted an official position now, then there is a high probability that you will go to a local place to serve as a county guard. After you have made great achievements, you will be transferred back to Xianyang."

"But I think you are a talented person, so I asked your Majesty to let you stay in Baijia Palace."

Chen Ke's expression did not change at all.

"You are from Da Qin. You should know that Da Qin uses military merit as the criterion for promotion."

"But now that the world is unified, whether it is a title or promotion, it can be exchanged for merit, not just military merit."

Chen Ke said meaningfully: "If you can accomplish this, His Majesty will be delighted."

"The Xianyang Order and the Taishi Order made another big mistake."

"Although His Majesty has never pursued it, he has already remembered this matter."

"At that time, no one else will have to worry about your stay in Xianyang City."

"Do you understand?"
