Chapter 146: The sea and the sky are the same color, the discussion in the banquet
The sea breeze is blowing, and the oncoming comfort takes away the irritability of midsummer.
Ying Ziyi took Shi Lan's hand and walked off the carriage. With the strange eyes of the greeting servants, he walked towards Haiyue's small building.
Although the servants of Haiyue Xiaozhu knew that a distinguished guest was coming, they didn't know their specific identity. Seeing that the distinguished guest was holding a shabby young man in his hand, the servants were filled with sloppy hearts.
What's going on?
But although my heart was full of thoughts, the servants were not at all visible on the surface. They lowered their heads and looked at their feet, and did not dare to speak.
Shi Lan was pulled by Ying Ziyi like this, her expression on her face was a little complicated, and I don’t know what she was thinking?
"arrive!"
Ying Ziyi's words sounded, and Shi Lan reacted. When she looked back, she felt that the long walkway was over in an instant.
The Haiyue Building is built on the sea surface, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only one side the same as the land, which is the long path that Ying Ziyi took Shi Lan just now.
Although the name of Haiyue Xiaozhu has a small word, it is actually not small at all. It is a large scale, grand layout and exquisite layout, and is the most famous place in the Sanghai Land. Several long pavilions and pavilions are built on the sea surface. Although they are connected together, they are also integrated into one, and are connected by air waterways, ensuring the secret of the conversation between the guests between the pavilions and the pavilions.
The store is not only extremely attic, but the decoration in each loft is extremely luxurious, and there is a very wide distance from the view-viewing corridor outside. Whether in winter or summer, guests sitting inside will not feel uncomfortable at all.
The place Ying Ziyi chose was the largest attic in the Haiyue Small Building, which was built in the center of the Haiyue Small Building, with a wide view and a beautiful view of the sea and sky in the distance.
"How is it?" Ying Ziyi sat on the ground without any slight demeanor.
"What do you want to ask?" Shi Lan stood in front of Ying Ziyi with a cold look on her face and asked.
"Are you coming to Sanghai and joining Youjian Inn just for the Yin-Yang Family? The three-legged golden crow, Fusang sacred tree, and the treasures of Shushan all fell into the hands of Yin-Yang Family. What are you looking for?"
Shi Lan's face changed, "What do you want to say to the master?"
"What is your brother Yu Ziqi who sneaked into the Yin-Yang family for?" Ying Ziyi said carelessly, but Shi Lan's heart was tightened.
In Shi Lan's heart, Ying Ziyi and the Yin-Yang family are in the same group. Since Ying Ziyi knows, does the Yin-Yang family also know that their brother has sneaked into the Yin-Yang family?
At this moment, Shi Lan had no idea at all. Shi Lan had been in the net for many years and knew deeply how terrifying this organization in the darkness was, and this organization was just a corner of the power of Prince Qin.
Perhaps Shi Lan herself was unwilling to admit that Prince Qin occupied a large proportion in her heart. Her heart was deeply burned by a mark, that is, Prince Qin's strength almost made Shi Lan feel omnipotent.
Unmatched powerful! It is so powerful that Shi Lan is dissatisfied, afraid and even conquered.
"What do you want?" Shi Lan felt that from beginning to end, she was just a chess piece in Ying Ziyi's hand, a chess piece that she lets her play with.
"I don't plan to interfere with the matter between Shushan and the Yin-Yang family. But what I want to tell you is that the people in the Yin-Yang family are not vegetarians. Although they didn't notice it for a while, it doesn't mean they will never notice it. Perhaps, they already know your brother's identity now, and they just plan to use the trick!"
Ying Ziyi's reminder did not make Shi Lan feel a little warm, but instead made her burst out, "What do you mean you don't plan to interfere? The culprit who led the Yin-Yang family to invade Shushan was you! My master. After all, you and the Yin-Yang family are in the same group!"
In Shi Lan's heart at this moment, Ying Ziyi's concern was just the beginning of another strange play.
"No, I am different from the Yin and Yang family. What the Yin and Yang family wants are the treasures of Shushan, such as the three-legged golden crow and Fusang sacred tree. But I am different." Ying Ziyi said. When he attacked Shushan, what he wanted was Shu brocade. Compared with the Yin and Yang family, his purpose was much simpler.
"Your Highness, the guest is here." At this time, the voice of the subordinates sounded outside the attic.
Ying Ziyi looked at Shi Lan and cried with tears in her eyes. "Wipe your tears, don't let people think I'm bullying you after seeing it!"
You are bullying me! Shi Lan thought this way in her heart, but she still covered her face and wiped the tears from her face. After that, she stood behind Ying Ziyi like nothing happened.
"The little sage Zhuang Funian, Yan Lu, Zhang Liang meets His Royal Highness."
Outside the attic, the three Confucian masters were told.
"The guest feasts and chats, there is no need to be too polite. Come in!" Ying Ziyi sat upright and said.
There were already three short cases placed before Ying Ziyi's desk. At this moment, Fu Nian and others walked in and saw Shi Lan behind Ying Ziyi, they were all a little surprised. Why would there be a young man from an inn here?
Although Fu Nian and others knew that this guy was very skilled, they didn't have any intention of caring about it. Fu Nian had observed secretly for a long time and confirmed that this guy named Shi Lan had no evil intentions towards the little sage village, so he was unwilling to be troubled.
But at the moment, this guy's identity doesn't seem simple at all!
Fu Nian and the other two sat down, Fu Nian was in front, and the two followed closely behind, with clear distinction between superiors and inferiors.
"I heard for a long time that Fu Nian was in charge of the small sage village and was in charge of the turbid world. He had the spirit of a great master. When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince praised it." Fu Nian leaned over slightly and bowed his hand.
"The king of Japanese reads Confucian classics and is a little confused. He is about to ask Mr. Fu Nian for advice." Ying Ziyi said modestly.
"Your Highness is serious. I wonder what is unclear about your highness?" Fu Nian asked.
"What is the way for the monarch and the subject?"
"The king and the ministers are polite, and the ministers serve the kings with loyalty." Fu Nian replied.
"Good words! Ziwei said the truth, and in just one sentence, he has already explained the way of the king and the ministers." Ying Ziyi smiled and asked again: "After I, His Majesty, the First Emperor of the Great Qin, will destroy the six kingdoms and wipe out the world. Are there any rude things toward scholars of the six kingdoms?"
Fu Nian raised his hand and said to Ying Ziyi's words, "Since His Majesty the First Emperor unified the world, he has been kind to the scholars of the old land of the six countries. He even set up the Economic Bureau in Xianyang, citing scholars from the six countries as doctors, and granting the power to supervise all officials. It is very important. Confucianism is also deeply grateful."
Since the little Saint Sage Village has defected to Ying Ziyi, Fu Nian naturally has to follow Ying Ziyi's words.
"That's right." Ying Ziyi affirmed: "The king and the ministers use courtesy, so will the ministers serve the king be loyal?"
"This..." Fu Nian couldn't continue talking.
"Since Zhou lost his deer, the world chased him, and the world fought hard for a long time. The Qin Dynasty fought for the sixth generation and unified the four seas. Later, the feudals were abolished and divided, and the counties were carried out, and the three dukes and nine ministers were established to take charge of the affairs of the world. However, the lingering sounds were unbearable, and Is it a loyal?"
Fu Nian naturally knew that the scholars of the Six Kingdoms who were invited by the Emperor of Qin had been devoted to resuming the Zhou Li many times. The huge court discussion had been held several times, but they were all devastated by Prime Minister Li Si.
Emperor Qin sincerely hoped that these scholars from the six countries could join Qin and serve under the centralized system of the empire. As propaganda tools, these scholars had a great influence in the old places of the six countries. If they were to join, the empire would implement the new policy and unify the hearts of the people of the six countries would inevitably be greatly shortened.
But these people are just not enlightened! Qin Emperor provided them with delicious food and drink, but they regarded Qin system as a beast, and were determined to support the monarch and make them return to the dream of "right path". In the past, in front of Qin Emperor, they were desperate advice!
Sometimes Ying Ziyi was a little lingering when he thought about it! I really don’t know how could he tolerate them for so long with the temper of Emperor Qin?
"It is indeed something that has not happened since the Zhou Dynasty when the First Emperor unified the world. But now, people's livelihood is getting worse and worse, and the people are suffering. Naturally, people are worried that the new policy can be passed down as it is said for generations?"
Zhang Liang bowed and said.
"Zufang, don't be rude!" Fu Nian scolded.
"Mr. Fu Nian, there is no need to be like this! What Zifang said is not true." Ying Ziyi smiled. "But has Zifang thought that even if the Qin system is abolished and the Zhou rituals are implemented, will the people be able to live a prosperous life and the world can enter a well-off society?"
Zhang Liang naturally knew that it was not that easy, but he also knew that Ying Ziyi's purpose was not simple. The doctors of the Six Kingdoms mentioned in Ying Ziyi were gathered under Fusu's command at this moment. And the intention of this highness is not simple now!
"Your Highness is saying." Fu Nian bowed and said, "If the granaries are not accumulated, they will not be rich!"
"If the ministers do not serve the king with loyalty, it will be difficult for a long time. If you miss the leader, perhaps the great disaster of Confucianism will not be far away." Ying Ziyi sighed slowly and said.
Fu Nian and the other two were frightened. Yan Lu and Zhang Liang looked at each other. Finally, Fu Nian bowed and asked, "I wonder what your highness meant?"
"The ancestor of Confucianism once served as an official in Lu State, but in the end he traveled around the countries with a group of disciples, hoping that a monarch could adopt his own doctrine, but all of them failed. At that time, the rituals and music in the world were abolished, and all the princes were tyrannical and powerful soldiers to conquer the four directions with their domineering and powerful troops. Is Confucius's undoing of things, which is foolish?"
Fu Nian was also surprised. What exactly did Prince Qin want to say?
"According to what I saw, Confucius did not want to dominate and even strengthen his troops! Why did he do it even though he knew it was impossible?"
"Xi Dao Zhang!" Fu Nian bowed.
"So now, I hope Mr. Fu Nian can do it even knowing that it is impossible." Ying Ziyi said lightly.
"I wonder what Your Highness the Crown Prince wants Xiao Shengxianzhuang to do?"
"Burn books! Burn all the old scriptures of the six kingdoms of the Little Sage Zhuang, and use Qin seal script."
At this moment, Fu Nian was really surprised. Confucians regard books as their destiny. Now the prince of Qin wants him to burn all the old scriptures in the village. You must know that there are major secrets protected by Confucianism.
"Your Highness, Fu Nian cannot agree." Fu Nian retreated back, bent his body to ninety degrees, and knocked his head against the ground. The same is true for the two leaders behind him.
“Why?”
Unexpectedly, Prince Qin was not angry or questioned, but just said why?
"The books of the little sages are all left by our ancestors, and we, the younger generations, dare not destroy them!"
"What the sages passed on by the scriptures is based on the meaning. Can't we express the meaning of the sages by abandoning the old texts of the six countries and using Qin seals?"
"This... there is no need to burn books!" Yan Lu said carefully. No matter what, burning books is too much!
"Get up!" Ying Ziyi raised his hand, and the three Confucian leaders sat up again. "Master Fu Nian, Mr. Yan Lu, don't you understand? This is not burning books, but letting His Majesty the First Emperor see the determination of Xiao Shengxianzhuang to support the new imperial policy and draw a clear line between the remnants of the six kingdoms."
Ying Ziyi's words came, and the sea breeze was refreshing, but it made Fu Nian's heart sink to the bottom of the valley. "The reason why His Majesty the First Emperor has always tolerated these yells to resume Zhou Li is because His Majesty hopes that these people will one day truly understand the Qin system and join the empire's eternal foundation. And once His Majesty realizes that what he has done is a useless effort, then no one can predict what will happen!"
"I understand!" Fu Nian's voice was low and tired. Sure enough, it was not so easy to join Prince Qin's command to protect the Confucian school. At this moment, Prince Qin clearly wanted to draw a clear line between the little sage monks and scholars who wanted to restore the Zhou rituals, and even acted as a vanguard and thought it was hostile.
Zhang Liang was thinking even further away at this moment. Now the voices of scholars from the six countries who wanted to reply to Zhou Li are no longer as loud as before. The reason is that after these people returned to Prince Fusu's command, they had already bet on him, rather than his father. These people hope that Prince Fusu could inherit the throne, abolish the Qin system and use Zhou Li.
In other words, the disaster that Ying Ziyi said might not have happened at all. Because these people are honestly studying the classics and governing the classics and increasing their efforts to promote the benevolence of Prince Fusu, there is no reason to anger the Qin Emperor.
The Prince of Qin wanted the little sage Zhuang to burn books at this moment, but not to draw a clear line between them and those who wanted to reply to Zhou Li, but to draw a clear line between them and Prince Fusu.
If the little sage Zhuang burned old books as the prince Qin said, it would be obvious that he would stand against the hostile side of Prince Fusu. Once Prince Fusu succeeds to the throne in the future, then the fate of the little sage Zhuang can be imagined.
In other words, the prince Qin in front of him did not allow his subordinates to be indifferent at all. He was forcing the little sage village to do a gambling game, and if he wins once, he will win all, and if he loses, he will lose all.
Zhang Liang looked at the young man in front of him, but he was already ranked as the crown prince. Now he wanted to tie the little sage village and even the entire Confucianism to his chariot to eliminate any obstacles before he stepped onto the throne.
So cruel! (To be continued.)
