The various representatives of the Baijia quickly reached an agreement and decided to wait and see the changes in the situation before making long-term plans. After saying that, they all left.

It was obvious that there would be no further results from this discussion. The man in green robe was obviously the owner of this place, and under his guidance, everyone in the hall gradually dispersed.

The red-nosed old man did not leave like the others, but kept walking in the hall with his hands behind his back, frowning.

After a while, the old man in green robe returned to the hall after seeing everyone off. He saw the old man with red nose, who was depressed and consoled him: "Don't worry, Mr. Wentong. Qin's tyranny has lost the support of the people. Now that chaos has arisen, the survivors of the six countries will not let it go."

This is a great opportunity. All we have to do is follow the trend."

Wentongjun, also known as Kong Yu, was the ninth-generation grandson of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism. At the end of the Warring States period, a hundred schools of thought contended. The Confucian school's ideological philosophy of benevolence and propriety was obviously contrary to the overall trend of the great strife that was formed at the end of the Warring States period.

Naturally, during the nearly hundred years at the end of the Warring States Period, Confucianism was neglected.

After the unification of Qin, once the Qin Empire can respect Confucianism and use it, it will undoubtedly be the best proof of its openness to all rivers.

Therefore, Confucianism, a once prominent school that had been almost forgotten by the world in the past hundred years, was grandly and prominently promoted into the imperial political arena by the edict of the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

As the ninth-generation grandson of Saint Kong, Kong Yu was the leader of the Confucian school at that time. He was also appointed by the First Emperor Yingzheng to be a high nobility comparable to the old princes - Wentong Jun. He was worshiped as a young master and led the world's literary scholars.

In the Qin Dynasty and the two Han Dynasties that followed, the so-called literary scholars were a general term for various academic schools; the leading literary scholars were the de facto leaders of the world's schools of thought.

Later facts proved that this was a very ironic thing.

The Qin Empire was the first in history to promote the neglected Confucian school to the position of school leader. However, this school did not reciprocate the favor. Instead, it relapsed and insisted on going its own way. It advocated adhering to the feudal system of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and criticized the counties of the Qin Empire.

system, insisted on ruling the world by enfeoffing feudal lords, and advocated restoration.

The First Emperor Yingzheng was furious and punished Kong Kun, but Kong Kun fled in a hurry and took all the Confucian scholars with him to escape the First Emperor's search.

In a rage, Ying Zheng dug up the tomb of the sage Confucius and targeted all Confucian scholars in the world. This must be said to be the antecedent of "burning books and entrapping Confucians".

Kong Yu heard the green-robed old man's comfort and could only nod helplessly and said, "Thank you, brother Fan, for reminding me. Ziyu understands."

The old man in green robe is obviously an official of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty stipulated that officials of third rank and above wear green robes, while ordinary people can only wear white robes.

Liaofan is the seventh-generation grandson of Zhuangzi, the representative of the Mohist school since Mozi, Zhuang Ren, also known as Liaofan, and is currently the leader of the Mohist school. The Qin Dynasty had a doctorate system, which was divided into twelve major doctors and seventy-two doctors.

As the leader of the Mohist school, Zhuang Ren was one of the twelve great doctors.

The reason why Kong Yu is frowning now is naturally because after "burning books and entrapping Confucians", there is no place for the Confucian school in the entire Qin Dynasty. Now the Confucian school can only hide in secret and spread its teachings. It cannot overthrow the Qin Dynasty in one day. The Confucian school

Naturally, one cannot succeed in one day.

This is unacceptable to the Confucian school, which was once the leader of various schools of thought.

"Huainanzi? Synopsis" records: "Mozi studied the work of Confucianism and received the techniques of Confucius." Obviously, the thoughts of the Mohist school were separated from Confucianism, but Mozi re-criticized and transformed Confucianism.

Thus setting up a flag of one's own.

Although Mohism and Confucianism also criticized each other when a hundred schools of thought contended at the end of the Warring States Period, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, Mohism and Confucianism naturally became an alliance as they were in love with each other.

Therefore, after Confucianism was convicted, the Mohist school has been secretly taking care of it.

Zhuang Ren was also frustrated that he couldn't do anything about the big thing, so he didn't give any more advice to Kong Kun. The two of them were in a trance, neither of them wanted to say more, so they had no choice but to disperse and rest.

………………

The brightly lit Prime Minister's Mansion.

The huge front hall was also lit with giant candles, as bright as day. There were numerous figures and officials, large and small, wearing various colored robes.

During the Qin Dynasty, there was no imperial examination system, so most officials obtained official positions through recommendation by the prime minister and appointment by the emperor. The power was relatively concentrated with the prime minister, and the prime minister was appointed and removed by the emperor, which concentrated the imperial power in disguise.

Most of the officials sitting in the hall were officials from the line of Prime Minister Li Si. The Qin Dynasty did not have the so-called party struggles and factions in later dynasties, but because they were recommended by the Prime Minister, these officials naturally tended to favor the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Li Sigao sat at the head, and to his right was a hale and hearty old man, with a wrinkled face but bright eyes, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

This person turned out to be Feng Quji, the Right Prime Minister of the Qin Empire.

There were officials sitting on both sides of the hall. To the left of Li Si was a middle-aged man in military uniform. He had a bronze complexion, big ears and a broad nose, and tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, which gave people a sense of calm and self-reliance. His face was similar to that of the one sitting next to Li Si.

The old man looks somewhat similar.

Feng Jie, the son of the right prime minister Feng Quji, father and son were officials in the same dynasty and lived in high positions together. Feng Jie was the imperial censor of the Qin Empire, with the rank of leading general.

Opposite the middle-aged man in military uniform is a middle-aged man with a horse-faced face, a white beardless face, a bit feminine, and a narrow face. It is the Great Qin Tingwei Yao Jia, who has been in charge of the punishment of the Great Qin Empire for a long time, and his slightly feminine appearance gives people a kind of

An eerie feeling.

The person sitting first under Feng Jie was surprisingly Zhang Han, the young man who had just returned from his eastward tour with Hu Hai and massacred the Zhao Gao clan.

Wang Li and the other generals of the Forbidden Army were in the palace at this time. Only he had completed the tasks assigned by Hu Hai and was resting at home. At this time, he was summoned by Prime Minister Li Si.

At this time, Feng Jie said: "Master Zhang, is it true that His Majesty the First Emperor awakened His Majesty from a dream as you said? Is this a plan to kill Zhao Gao, a thief?"

Zhang Han said helplessly: "Feng Yushi, it is indeed true. Your Majesty said this himself. How could Han make it up?" Countless people had asked him this question tonight, and Hu Hai did not tell Zhang Han not to reveal it.

Therefore, when Zhang Han first arrived, he had already told Hu Hai's execution of Zhao Gao and what he did after that several times.

At this time, when I heard Feng Jie asking questions again, I couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Feng Jie obviously felt Zhang Han's impatience, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, anyone who told dozens of people the same thing ten times in one night would be impatient.

"Your Majesty, what a fucking wonderful killing! Okay! Okay!" Feng Jie said with a smile, stroking his hands, completely forgetting that he had scolded Hu Hai.

When Feng Quji, who was at the head, heard what Feng Jie said, his eyebrows trembled in anger and he shouted: "How outrageous!"

Feng Jie, who was still immersed in happiness, suddenly heard his father shouting. He was startled. He immediately realized that he had gone too far and even scolded the emperor's mother. He immediately said sarcastically: "Jie is too happy, too happy."

I'm happy. Your Majesty will definitely not care about it!"

Feng Quji was obviously a little helpless towards his thick-lined son. He glared at him and turned around and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have met your Majesty, and now your Majesty..."

Feng Quji didn't ask the next part because he didn't know what to ask.

The most important thing is that when Hu Hai returned to Xianyang in the morning, Feng Quji and Feng Jie were ordered to stay at home before Hu Hai's eastward tour, so they did not go to greet him. They had not met Hu Hai, so everything was done through servants.

I only have a rough idea based on Zhang Han’s narration just now.

Li Si knew what Feng Quji wanted to ask, so he squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time: "They are not the same, they are like two people, unfathomable!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Feng Quji's wrinkled face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said repeatedly: "God bless me, Da Qin!"

Obviously, no one has the slightest doubt that what Hu Hai said about being awakened by the First Emperor's dream was obviously a big lie in the eyes of later generations. The theory of ghosts and gods was still very popular in the Qin Dynasty, and the Yin and Yang School was still very influential.

.

Many officials in the hall were very excited when they heard what Li Si and Feng Quji said, and the hall was very lively for a while.

………………

The same scene appeared in various large and small mansions in Xianyang City, with many people and few people, but everyone understood that the situation in Great Qin was about to change again.

(The magnificent war is the theme of this book, and the Yin-Yang School is just to highlight an aspect of the long-standing Chinese culture in the pre-Qin era, pointing out a lead from hundreds of schools of thought. Fantasy will not involve too much, so don’t worry.

These chapters are a bit bland, just some necessary narration, but the climax is coming soon, so don't worry.

It’s a new week, can you all give me a helping hand and check out the new book list? Click here for favorites and recommendations.

There was a lot of nonsense in the previous chapter. I saw this by chance, so I quoted some of it shamelessly. Please forgive me! The Diaoyu Islands belong to China!))
