Chapter 426 Unrest

"No!"

"Brother Chunyu, don't be reckless~"

Several nearby officials quickly jumped out and pulled Chunyu Yue, but Chunyu Yue struggled hard like a madman, and still shouted: "Li Si, if you dare to burn hundreds of books, you will be infamous for thousands of years. My Confucian disciples in the world will be incompatible with you..."

"Enough~" Qin Shihuang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, slapped the imperial desk with a heavy palm and stood up with a gloomy face. His eyes swept across the entire hall like an ice blade. The civil and military officials in the court suddenly seemed to fall into an ice cave. Many people couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't burn books, the hundreds of alchemists will still be bustling all day long to deceive the people and cause trouble to the court. Only by cutting off its inheritance can our Qin Dynasty have a peaceful day!" Li Si's face was also gloomy and angry.

In the short term of Chunyu Yue's words, Li Si's weaknesses, being unfaithful to the State of Chu, disrespectful to his parents, poisoning his fellow disciples, and hostile to hundreds of schools. These are the reasons why Li Si has always been criticized and disliked by many people.

The fact that the Chu State was not actually unfaithful, because many ministers in the court were not from Qin, but Li Si was appointed as the left prime minister, so he could become a disgusting handle for him, and it would be even more dissatisfied to say it.

It is actually a normal phenomenon to be hostile to the Hundred Schools. Nowadays, theories between the Hundred Schools of the Chinese Schools are not in line with their appetites, and it is almost normal to be hostile to each other. The two schools of thought that the most influential Confucianism and Mohism were even mortal enemies. The disciples of the two schools of thought do not like each other, and the same is true for other schools of thought that those who are influenced by the Mohism and Confucianism are the same. Anyone who does not conform to their own sect theory will be trampled to death. This can be said that Li Si did the best because he was deeply loved by the emperor and was in power. However, Li Si's approach today is a bit too radical, and it is still tolerated to not speak, but to burn books passed down from other families, this is similar to digging other people's ancestral graves, so it is not a big blame for Chunyu Yue jumping up and cursing.

In fact, among these four points, the thing that Li Si hates to be mentioned the most is the poisoning of his senior brother Han Fei.

"Your Majesty, the strategy of burning books is not advisable! Our China has always been a country of etiquette. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties have been passed down for thousands of years. I have never heard of burning books of sages. Once implemented, our Qin Dynasty will lose the hearts of the gentry in the world. This is a way to cause disaster for one's own tragedy. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" Chen Xu quickly bowed his hand, for fear that Qin Shihuang would make sure to follow Li Si's suggestion.

"Burning books is not advisable, so please think twice!" Nearly half of the people standing out in the court, bowed and bowed together.

"This matter is discussed again, but Chunyu Yue insulted Shangqing and roared at the court, and dismissed the position of a doctor and expelled from Xianyang. The Qinghe Hou temporarily arranged the newspaper matters and retired from the court!" Qin Shihuang's big sleeves with a gloomy face were put on his sleeve.

After a while, the civil and military officials in the court who were holding the newspaper were stunned for a moment, they all left the court with shameless eyes, and whispered in groups of three or three to walk towards the carriage waiting in the square.

Soon what happened in the court spread in Xianyang.

The news that the Left Prime Minister Li Si was going to burn hundreds of books was like a hurricane that caused a huge wave among the hundreds of alchemists.

"Lispuff dares to do such a vicious thing, and we must not let it succeed!"

Hundreds of Fangjia sorcerers gathered in Liushang Garden, one of the middle-aged Confucian scholars with wide robes and big sleeves yelled in the crowd. It was Kong Fan, a descendant of Kong's family who was inspiring to argue with Guan Chonglou of the Yin-Yang School in the court that day.

"Brother Kong said it well. The classics of the sages have been passed down for hundreds of years, and every word is knowledgeable. He, Li Si, dared to be so ruthless and so unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous, what are the faces of the people above you? We will write a letter to Your Majesty together..."

"Yes, if Li Si dares to burn books, he will die together!"

"It may not be easy to die together. Li Si has a large number of guards in and out..."

"What should I do? I really want to kill him!"

"Actually, it is not helpless to die with him. I heard that the Qinghe Hou has Taiyi Divine Thunder..."

"Yes, I'll ask the Marquis of Qinghe to give me a Taiyi Divine Thunder..."

"Go together, I heard that the Qinghe Marquis in the court also refuted Li Si, hoping that Your Majesty will not burn the books of his ancestors. Now that Brother Chunyu has been expelled from Xianyang, we and the hundreds of schools can only rely on the Qinghe Marquis!"

"Yes, the Queen of Qinghe is a disciple of the Immortal Family. She will definitely not sit and watch me be bullied by old Li Si..."

Hundreds of people clamored along Xianyang Street and headed straight to Qinghe Marquis' Mansion under the leadership of several major sects. Such a large formation caused people to watch and inquire. After hearing this, the Fang family sorcerers gathered in the streets and alleys and scattered, all joined the team. Many of them began to waving their fists and shouted slogans to punish Li Si. The noise was so loud that the imperial guards of the Lieutenant's Mansion began to drive away and arrest him like a great enemy, for fear that these guys who were not at peace on weekdays would suddenly cause something big.

After the court dispersed, Chen Xu returned to the newspaper office and was still whispering gently.

Today's morning court can be said to have scared him into a cold sweat.

He had no idea that Li Si would jump out to burn books because of the newspaper incident.

Moreover, depending on the situation, Li Si's idea has been around for a long time, and it is definitely not a sudden idea, but just a reason for his own newspaper. In other words, Li Si is taking advantage of the situation and he may also know that the act of burning books will encounter great obstacles, so he uses his own initiative to control the newspaper to control the remarks of hundreds of schools.

But Li Si was wrong. Chen Xu's desire to control his remarks was just a kind of common public opinion control in later generations. It is definitely not about trying to blow the light and pull out the wax to completely kill all schools of thought.

The reason why Chinese civilization is great, why it can stand for more than two thousand years in the future and lasting for a long time, and why it can still exist after several other ancient civilizations have been destroyed and collapsed is not unrelated to the prosperity of the hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, Chen Xu is definitely not allowed to burn books. He was unable to do so before, so he asked the Shui family to help collect various bookstores just in case, but now that he has this ability, he will naturally do his best to prevent this from happening.

The act of burning books was a semi-destructive blow to Chinese civilization, and it can be said that it was a very important reason for the final collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Although the burning of books was proposed by Li Si, the executor was Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang was not unaware that burning books would cause fierce opposition from hundreds of alchemists. Therefore, during the execution, it also gave huge discounts, requiring only folk books to be burned. At the same time, dozens of doctoral officers were set up to allow them to retain the meaning of poetry, books and classics, in order to solve the inconsistent ideas and remarks of the people.

Unfortunately, Qin Shihuang was very talented and wise, but he underestimated the gentry in the world. The fierce opposition and the deception of the sorcerers such as Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng finally angered Qin Shihuang, which made him kill the sorcerers of the Fang family. At this point, the Qin Dynasty began to be in turmoil and the folk intellectuals lost their sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty. As a result, the aliens and the virtues were completely divided. In the uprising, almost all the gentry classes turned to the uprising troops one after another.

After all, this was a fierce confrontation of the concept of governing the country. In later generations, it was a fierce political movement. A faction represented by the disciple of the Legalists, Li Si, intended to use laws to unify the world and wield the stick of power to suppress it. The alchemists of the hundreds of schools of thought were naturally not willing to fail and fought desperately, shaking the rule of the Qin Dynasty at the cost of life.

In fact, in this movement, it should be said that the Legalists are the biggest losers.

Although burning books and burying scholars caused a cliff-like decline in Chinese civilization and also had a great blow to the hundreds of sects, it also completely ruined the Legalists' status in the later stage. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the concept of Legalists' rule of the country was completely abandoned and replaced by Huang-Lao's art. On the contrary, the Confucianism, which the Legalists hate the most, gradually rose.

"Mr. Marquis, are you uncomfortable? Why do you look so ugly?" Chen Ping looked at Chen Xu who was walking in and quickly stood up to ask.

"Moti, in the court just now, Li Si reported to the emperor to burn poems and books and hundreds of classics that had nothing to do with people's livelihood in the world, and almost fought with the doctor Chunyu Yue in the court!" Chen Xu sat on the chair and said.

"What?" Chen Ping was shocked. The brush in his hand fell to the ground. He opened his mouth a few times before he came to his senses and asked anxiously: "Does the emperor agree?"

"Not yet, but I can't guarantee that Your Majesty will not agree in the future!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"What should I do?" Chen Ping walked around the room nervously.

"Li Si is in charge of the Secretariat, and is also the Left Prime Minister, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty. If he wants to promote this matter with all his might, I am afraid the emperor will agree, so he must find a way to stop it!" Chen Xu said with a sigh.

"Yes, I must think of a solution. The sages left so many poems, books, classics and meanings, all of which were hard work. Once they were burned, the crime was great. Marquis, you must think of a solution!" Chen Ping looked at Chen Xu begged.

"Well, let me think about it, let's talk about it when I go to court in the afternoon. I'm afraid that this matter will soon spread among the Xianyang gentry and cause great turmoil..."

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, he could only hear footsteps outside. Soon several reporters ran in from outside sweating, yelling as he ran: "The Marquis is not good..."

"Why are you so panicked?" Although Chen Xu's face was calm, he became nervous inside.

"The Marquis is not good. The Fang family sorcerers in the city have started to make trouble. Many people have been captured by the imperial guards. Fortunately, we have the badge of the Academy of Sciences on our bodies before we let it go!" Several managers said verbally.

Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat and felt that the incident seemed to have become bigger.

It would be fine if these Fang family sorcerers don't make trouble. Once they make trouble, the direction of things will change. Because these Fang family sorcerers were not very settled in Xianyang and promoted their own messy theories everywhere. Qin Shihuang was quite tolerant on weekdays. Even if Qin Shihuang felt it was a bit sudden, he would not necessarily object, because the restless behavior of the hundreds of alchemists jumped up and down had already made Qin Shihuang feel annoyed. It was just burning a book, not killing people, so burning a book was not a big pressure for Qin Shihuang.

If these Fang family sorcerers did not make trouble, perhaps Qin Shihuang would really discuss it again. After all, burning books is not a good thing for his reputation, and it will definitely destroy his image in the eyes of the gentry.

But if there is trouble, it will only make Qin Shihuang angry.

Many times, many accidental events are caused by anger, because when anger is angry, one will lose his mind. The consequences of an emperor losing his mind are definitely something that ordinary people cannot bear.

When a man gets angry, blood splatters five steps. When an emperor gets angry, blood splatters.

Just when Chen Xu got the news, the whole of Xianyang was getting more and more violent. The Fang family sorcerers gathered in Xianyang walked to the street and began to gather in the square in front of Xianyang Palace.

The Lieutenant's Mansion was also facing a great enemy. The imperial guards in the four battalions in the southeast, west and northeast all came out in full swing, chasing and blocking along the way, and grabbed hundreds of people. However, these people could not disperse and gathered more and more, and finally formed a few huge trends. The sound of siren sounded everywhere in Xianyang.
