Chapter 504: Xu Fu Mian Sheng

Xiang Ji is a very outstanding young man. His learning efficiency is amazing. However, he lacks perseverance and has no perseverance. He just doesn't want to continue studying after achieving one of his goals. Although his uncle likes this talented young man very much, he is still a little worried about his personality... However, the advantage is that as long as this young man sets a goal for himself, he will definitely accomplish it and will never give up halfway.

The Xiang family is different from the other six kingdoms. When Wu Chenghou was still alive, in order to avoid civil war, he proposed to migrate the nobles and nobles from all over the country to avoid them from coming and going, avoid them from winning over the people in their homeland, and form a potential threat. When Wu Chenghou was disagreeing with the public and firmly demanding such an implementation, many people did not understand why Wu Chenghou was so cruel to these down-and-out nobles.

To drive them out of their hometown, to lose the opportunity to worship their ancestors, and to drive them to remote wilderness is a very cruel punishment for anyone at the moment. At that time, among the nobles who were forced to leave their hometown due to the migration laws, there were elderly people, women, and children. Many people died halfway through, which also became a "black history" in Wu Chenghou. His orders did force many innocent nobles to death.

Only these rebels who were determined to overthrow Qin and establish their homeland could understand the intention of Wu Chenghou. Xiang Liang tried every means to make friends in Chu and wanted to win over some Chu nobles who were dissatisfied with Qin as their help. However, under the migration order of Wu Chenghou, no one in ten remained, even those who remained lived incognito and did not dare to reveal their aristocratic status.

The idea of ​​winning over the nobles from all over the world and launching a rebellion through the influence of the nobles among the people was completely strangled to death. At the root of the source, the royal family and the great nobles of the Chu State are now in the northern part, Yanmen, Yuyang and other places... Contact them? Find them first and talk about it! This made Xiang Liang so desperate. Did Marquis Wu Cheng expect all this more than ten years ago? Can the fight with such an enemy be successful?

Since the aristocrats were not able to go through, Xiang Liang could only focus his attention among the people, hoping to use their power to restore the country by inciting the people of Guizhou who were dissatisfied with the Qin State... However, this road is also a dead end. After the transformation of Wucheng Hou, Qin State was not the Qin State in history that used the people of the six countries as livestock, constantly asked them to pay taxes, and constantly launched corvee labor, which made the heavens and people resentful, and the people could not survive.

Nowadays, the Qin State treats people all over the world equally, with extremely low taxes and almost no large-scale corvee service. Even if they use corvee service occasionally, they will not be exhausted. They will even give subsidies. Children have the opportunity to recognize words, and every household's granary is full of food. With such a good life, geniuses are willing to revive Chu State with them! The people of China will choose to endure it until they cannot survive.

Nowadays, life is booming. After the death of Wucheng Hou, Prime Minister Li Si completely inherited Wucheng Hou's last wish without any change. "Light taxes and levies, rest with the people." The quality of life of the people of Qin State is getting higher and higher. Except for the newly conquered Nanyue and other places, the rest of the areas can be regarded as the people living and working in peace and prosperity. However, Han Fei's newly revised Qin law further relaxed the living restrictions of the people.

People from all over the country can freely migrate, engage in commercial exchanges and a series of social activities. People living in Chu may not be the Chu people who were the people of the original Chu people. There may be Wei people or Qi people who rebel here in the name of General Xiang Yan. How could the Wei people know who Xiang Yan was? Xiang Liang's rebellion has not made progress over the years because of these things, but Xiang Liang did not give up. The revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable. As long as he is still alive, he must avenge his father.

Xiang Ji grew up under such a revenge idea. Since he understood the matter, all he could hear was the word revenge. Xiang Liang had realized that there was no hope for revenge in his own era. He could only put all his hopes on Xiang Ji. He hoped that this young man could wait until the Qin Dynasty was in turmoil, raise the banner of righteousness, restore the Chu State, and avenge Xiang Yan.

They just waited like this. Xiang Ji had to go out to farm with the rest of the people on weekdays. Qin did not raise idle people, and no one could be idle, let alone avoid it... Qin could not always be prosperous and safe, and he could definitely wait for the opportunity.

......

Sitting in the palace, the First Emperor looked at the alchemist in front of him. The alchemist called Xu Fu, who was from Langya in Qi. Because of the influence of Wucheng Hou, the First Emperor had never had any good feelings for these alchemists who pretended to be gods and ghosts... Before, when Zhao Kang conquered Yuezhi, several alchemists wrote a letter saying that they had received a dream from Wucheng Hou and wanted to help the First Emperor contact Wucheng Hou. This behavior not only did not make the First Emperor curious, but instead aroused his anger.

The First Emperor believed that these alchemists were insulting their father, imprisoning them, and killing their clans. They almost arrested dozens of alchemists across the country for massacres. However, Han Fei stopped him. Han Fei believed that killing people must be guilty, otherwise, even the emperor could not massacre because of his disgust. Qin's law did not say that being an alchemist would be killed. Such behavior was illegal.

When the emperor was hesitating, Han Fei suddenly said, "A alchemist called Ping in a horse suit." Only then did the First Emperor dispel his thoughts and no longer arrest or massacre the alchemist. At this moment, because of the university, a hundred schools of thought were prosperous. Among them, there were many people who pity alchemists and oppose the immediate political system. Several great scholars proposed to ban the current county system and re-implement the feudal system.

This angered Prime Minister Li Si. Li Si put them in prison, and Han Fei advised him again. Although Han Fei disagreed with their views, he still wrote a letter to oppose the policy and was arrested and killed according to the statement that he would not have stipulated in the law, and he dissuaded Li Si. Han Fei, a staunch supporter of the royal power in the past, has now become a staunch supporter of the law. All his actions were to urge the implementation of the law and to ensure that no one could violate it.

Li Si wrote a letter again, asking the emperor to burn all the history books except the Qin Dynasty history books, and burn all the books except the farming and medical care... This caused another person's anger, that is, Li Si's junior brother Zhang Cang, who is a book lover. Reading becomes a demon probably refers to people like him. When he heard that Li Si wanted to burn those books, Zhang Cang directly picked up his pen and wrote a book in a casual manner.

The content of the book is to persuade the emperor to follow Li Si's advice and burn those unpractical books. It is best to start with "The Horse Costume Book", and the first version of "The Horse Costume Book" was burned.

This letter came to the emperor and really made Ying Zheng very angry and directly ordered the arrest of Zhang Cang. Some ministers Han Fei, Liu Ji, Xiao He, Zhao Gao, Meng Yi and others wrote a letter to save Zhang Cang's life. Of course, the First Emperor did not want to kill Zhang Cang, but he could not stand Zhang Cang's provocative behavior and wanted to teach him a lesson. You should advise me, this is OK, but you can't be sarcastic!! You are a Confucianism and not a Yin-Yang family! You are a master of Xunzi and not a master of Ge!

The most frightened thing was Li Si. Li Si just wanted to weaken the influence of the other hundred schools of thought by burning them and leaving behind Legal books to reduce the annoying noise in the temple. He did not expect that Zhang Cang, the junior brother, would stab the knives in the back and directly put forward the horse uniform book. Li Si was frightened and hid at home for several days of training, not daring to go out, for fear of being blamed by the First Emperor.

In the end, this matter was of course ended in vain. Emperor Qin Shihuang did not burn books, but began to order the compilation of books. The so-called compilation of books means revising books from all over the world, finding all the missing chapters, and erecting stone tablets to preserve these classics. Such behavior suddenly gained the favor of scholars from hundreds of schools of thought. Scholars from hundreds of schools of thought have written articles to praise the virtues of the current emperor. The virtues and the Three Emperors, and the merits and demerits of the Five Emperors are not just the Legalists and Confucian scholars who will say this.

The emperor looked at these praises to him and threw them aside with disdain, but the joy on his face could not be concealed.

The meaning of the existence of a hundred schools of thought is to drive academic competition, so that no one can be complacent and thus stop exploring. Especially schools like the Mohist school, which disappear in the long river of history. It is a pity that each school has its own advantages, and the most powerful one is the Zajia Horse Clothing School... The Zajia Horse Clothing School has opened up a "shameless" academic model of "gathering the strengths of a hundred schools of thought".

No matter what the hundreds of schools have studied, the Zajiamafu School likes to mix things up, and in the name of absorbing their academic essence, they will plagiarize nakedly and carry forward it... The Baijiamafu School deeply hates it, but it is helpless. After all, after they copy it, they have to recreate it. It is not just to copy it for you and write it into their own books... The Baijiamafu School studies their respective fields, but the Zajiamafu School studies their achievements...

In just a short period of time, all schools have achieved a lot of achievements. Confucianism has emerged as the prototype of the theory of induction of heaven and man. Under the leadership of Han Fei, the Legalists took a step further, completely abandoned the royal power, and began to move towards the legal path. The Mohist schools have created more novel and strange things. Even doctors have begun to actively study diseases and open up the development of the medical field... The representative of the Zajia Mafu School is called Zhang Liang.

This scholar who came out of nowhere was said to be the son of former Korean prime minister Zhang Ping. He compiled books in Qidi and re-annotated the "Horse Costume Book" with his own ideas. As a result, he was arrested because private comments on horsestume Book and spreading them was a serious crime, which was clearly stipulated in the Qin law. However, when Han Fei saw this re-annotated horsestume Book, he was shocked and immediately took the man from prison to Xianyang.

Han Fei looked at the young man in front of him and really didn't understand why he studied the teacher so thoroughly, and some parts were even clearer than himself. Han Fei gave the teacher's manuscript to the young man. Han Fei believed that the only one who could inherit the teacher's manuscript was the young man in front of him. Although he had never seen his teacher, Zhang Liang continued to study after obtaining these manuscripts. Then, someone came to him, but it was the minister Zhao Gao who asked someone to give Zhang Liang a story about Zhao Kuo and Lu Buwei.

Zhang Liang studied with peace of mind. He got the discussion of Wu Chenghou left by Huang Shigong, and began to study the principles. After many years of research, Zhang Liang completed the annotation of the Mafu Book... He himself did not expect that he would be so fascinated. The more he studied, the more he admired Wu Chenghou. He hugged the Mafu Book more than once, and shouted, "No one understands!" Some people said that he cried because he could not meet Wu Chenghou in person, and some people said that he cried because he lamented the virtues of the king.

Zhang Liang began to study like this. The more he studied, the higher his knowledge became. From the books left by Zhao Kuo, Zhang Liang found countless things, including military, politics, literature, astronomy, and geography... He studied one by one, and dared not say that he had completely inherited the Marquis of Wucheng, but he had reached the peak of the school of zaijia Mafu and became a new generation of academic giants. When the First Emperor summoned him and spoke to him, it was said that the First Emperor was shocked.

Emperor Shin-Yin said to Han Fei in private, "I have never seen a scholar whose words and deeds are so similar to his father."

Zhang Liang, who had never seen Zhao Kuo, has become the one who has studied him the most profound. In the books that Zhao Kuo left behind, there are many experiences from two thousand years, including all aspects. Most people cannot see these things, and talented people cannot learn them. Only a few people can understand and learn them. This is undoubtedly true for Zhang Liang. The more he studies, the more things he discovers. Sometimes, he feels that Wu Chenghou seems to be sitting in front of him and explaining to himself slowly.

Zhang Liang has therefore become the pillar of the Zajia. Over the years, Zajia can put his hands into the pockets of hundreds of schools, and even absorb and summarize their theories and carry them forward on the basis, which is inseparable from Zhang Liang's efforts.

At this moment, a alchemist called Xu Fu wrote to Emperor Shi Huang... Emperor Shi Huang didn't care at first, so he took a casual look. At this glance, Emperor Shi Huang couldn't take his eyes away. In the book, Xu Fu described three fairy islands that gathered sages. There were three mountains in the sea, called Penglai, Fang Zhou, and Yingzhou... All the people living above were immortals. These immortals were human beings during their lifetime, and became immortals because of their great merits.

Xu Fu even described the situation and geographical environment of the Immortal Island in the book, and felt that he had really seen it. What surprised Ying Zheng the most was that in the book, Xu Fu mentioned in the book that Wu Chenghou became an immortal in Penglai because of his great merits during his lifetime. He could often see him sitting in a dragon car with an irritable wise man driving a car, followed by more than a dozen guests, and a fairy fairy in plain clothes was sitting next to him, with a yellow dragon as a horse, soaring in the air.
