Xianyang Palace, Emperor's Study Room.
Ying Zheng was reviewing the memorial, and Zhao Gaozheng was reporting respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Hao has gone to the Young Mansion."
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, said nothing more, and continued to review the memorial.
Zhao Gao looked hesitant, and then said: "The three people in Young Master Haoge also went to Lishan to do corvee service."
"Zhao Gao, do you know what I want to know most?"
After hearing Zhao Gao's report, Ying Zheng asked without raising his head.
Zhao Gao trembled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I am confused, that matter has been investigated!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, the people who secretly instigated several sons of Guizhou leaders to insult Young Master Hao are two Doctors from the Palace, one is Lu Sheng and the other is Hou Sheng!"
Zhao Gao respectfully reported to Ying Zheng: "Hou Sheng is from the old Han Dynasty and is now a Confucian doctor in the Doctor's Palace. Lu Sheng is a native of the old Qi Dynasty and is also a Confucian doctor in the Doctor's Palace."
"Compared to Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng is more capable and knows the skills of an alchemist!"
"Alchemist?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked calmly: "Why did they insult that kid?"
"It is said that he was dissatisfied with the young master's publicity for discussing politics in the Doctor's Palace, and was executed by your majesty because of someone he knew well. He did not dare to anger your majesty, but instead blamed the young master!"
Zhao Gao answered carefully.
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng snorted, raised his head and sneered: "I have no ability, and I still blame others for being in the spotlight. How can such a person have the ability to be a doctor?"
"Then what does Your Majesty plan to do with the two of them?"
"Of course it will be handled in accordance with national law!"
Ying Zheng said with a straight face: "Do you think that if I take the alchemy pill, I will be merciful to the alchemist?"
"I don't dare!"
Zhao Gao was afraid to accept the order and left the study.
At the same time, in a doctor's attic on the west side of the Doctor's Palace.
"Everyone says that alchemists are deceitful. Do you think that alchemists can change the First Emperor?"
Lu Sheng, who was sitting behind the desk, sipping hot tea and speaking leisurely, was staring at the person in front of him.
And the person in front of him is Hou Sheng, who is close to him.
But Hou Sheng said with a bitter look on his face: "How can a minister change the emperor?"
"Then Young Master Hao, logically speaking, is also a minister. Why can he do it but we can't?" Lu Sheng asked calmly.
"this"
Can this be the same?
Others are the biological sons of the First Emperor, what are we?
Even if they are ministers, there is still a difference between closeness and distance.
The First Emperor believed in him, but he may not necessarily believe in us!
Hou Sheng was speechless in his heart, but had nothing to say.
Lu Sheng glanced at him and then said: "The political discussion in the Doctor's Palace is about speaking freely. As a result, Chun Yuyue was convicted for his speech, and dozens of colleagues died tragically. Don't you feel scared to survive and serve the First Emperor?"
"cold"
Hou Sheng still remembers that he shuddered when the First Emperor ordered the killing.
When he first came to the Doctor's Palace, he, like most Confucian doctors, wanted to enter the Qin court and do something good.
But after arriving at the Doctor's Palace, he discovered that the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
Although I stay in the Doctor's Palace now, it is a helpless move.
Because the First Emperor had already issued an order not to allow them to leave Xianyang at will.
"What we are talking about today is related to my future and destiny, so it is best not to be distracted at the moment."
Seeing that Hou Sheng was distracted, Lu Sheng immediately said something serious, then raised his hand to pour him a bowl of hot tea.
"What do you want to say? You might as well say it!"
Hou Sheng came to his senses and anxiously urged Lu Sheng to speak quickly.
Lu Changchang sighed and said: "It is clear at a glance that someone is investigating our instigation of the son of the head of Guizhou to insult Young Master Hao!"
"ah?"
Hou Sheng was startled and exclaimed: "What should I do? I also followed your arrangement and paid to help with this matter!"
"It's already here, what's the use of talking about it?"
Lu Sheng frowned and said calmly: "If you didn't have resentment towards Young Master Hao, how could I persuade you?"
"this"
Hou Sheng was speechless and didn't know what to say.
But I saw that Lu Sheng was serious and serious: "Let's not talk about the matter of Gongzi Hao for now. As a Confucian doctor, do you really not worry about the survival of Confucianism?"
"Didn't Young Master Hao propose to 'depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism'? Where did the crisis come from for Confucianism? Brother, don't be alarmist!"
Hou Sheng retorted in surprise.
Lu Sheng sneered: "The so-called 'depose hundreds of schools of thought and respect only Confucianism' is just to deceive those who don't understand. Haven't you read the New Confucianism compiled by Kong Yu and others?"
"Even so, it's not a Confucian crisis, right?" Hou Sheng still said with some disapproval.
"The fact that the First Emperor could openly kill Confucian people in the main hall shows that in the heart of the First Emperor, the status of Confucian people was not high!"
Lu Sheng said in a deep voice, "Now that the Confucians are compiling New Confucianism for the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor will not do anything. Once the compilation is completed, the Confucians will be worse than shit!"
"Even if the First Emperor doesn't value Confucianism, he won't value alchemists, right?"
"Who said that?"
Lu Sheng smiled softly, and then said mysteriously: "To be honest, although I am a Confucian doctor, I am also good at alchemy. Moreover, as far as I know, the First Emperor is secretly looking for alchemists to refine elixirs for him. !”
"ah?"
Hou Sheng was startled and said quickly: "Is this true?"
"What did you do to lie to me?"
Lu Sheng said seriously: "I know a man named Xu Fu, who is now working for the First Emperor, and his life is more comfortable than the rest of us!"
"Brother, if you have extraordinary abilities, why did you enter the Doctor's Palace?" Hou Sheng asked with some confusion.
"You don't know this. When I entered the Doctor's Palace, I was actually looking for talents seeking immortality!"
"Seeking immortal talents?"
"good!"
Lu Sheng nodded and smiled: "I am not an orthodox Confucian student, and I don't agree with the Confucian theory of strange power and chaos of gods."
"in addition."
As he spoke, he paused and then said with a half-smile, "I once saw an ancient stone carving in the Qilu area, which read: Hu Ye is the one who destroyed Qin!"
"What?!"
Hou Sheng was stunned: "Are you serious about what you said? Is it really an ancient stone carving? How did you see it? Where exactly is this stone carving?"
"hehe."
Facing Hou Sheng's series of questions, Lu Sheng smiled and said nothing, and just said lightly: "You only need to know this, there is no need to ask more."
"this"
Hou Sheng looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated expression and hesitated to speak.
Lu Sheng glanced at him and continued, "Now you just want to ask, are you willing to protect the safety of the Confucian family?"
"Brother is not from my Confucian family, so why is this so? Who is it?" Hou Sheng frowned and asked.
"It seems that if I don't reveal my true identity, you don't trust me anymore?"
"real body?"
Hou Sheng couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, as if he had encountered an evil spirit.
He knows the magic of alchemists, which is mysterious and incredible.
But Lu Sheng said seriously: "A certain person was originally a descendant of the Lu Kingdom."
"Ah? Are you the queen of Duke Zhou?!" Hou Sheng was shocked.
"Why--!"
Lu Changsheng sighed, took another sip of hot tea, and then told Hou Sheng about his life experience.
He said that he was the direct descendant of Lu Gong. After the inheritance was passed to Lu Qinggong, the Lu family was completely defeated. His father could not bear the humiliation and eventually died before he was thirty years old.
Before he died, he was given a clan name: Dingwen.
Under the difficult care of his mother, he finally grew up.
When he was sixteen years old, his mother took him to his family temple, asked him to kneel in front of his ancestor's tablet, and asked him solemnly: "Dingwen, what is your surname?"
He replied: "The surname is Ji, after Duke Zhou."
The mother asked again: "What is your last name now?"
He replied: "My surname is Lu, and I come from the country of Lu."
The mother continued to ask: "What is your ambition?"
He loudly replied: "Recover Lu and spread the Zhou rites!"
The mother nodded with satisfaction, and then said solemnly: "In that case, I will carve an oath for you as a mother today. Are you willing?"
He replied: "Dingwen is willing to be taught by my mother!"
So, that day, his gray-haired grandmother used cinnabar and a fine needle to tattoo the four characters "Liberate the State of Lu" on his back. Three days after the tattooing, his grandmother died quietly.
"Brother's mother is righteous!"
After listening to Lu Sheng's story, Hou Sheng was so impressed that he couldn't help but bow down.
