Rows of bookshelves stand in the study room, with two shelves in each row, and the distance between each row and column of bookshelves is equal. They are meticulous and strictly follow the rules derived from the will of their owners.
On each bookshelf are volumes of precious ancient books and slips.
Each scroll is arranged neatly, and each scroll contains knowledge that belongs to them.
and the wisdom of our ancestors.
A man in black attire knelt down on one knee in front of Li Si's case, lowered his head, and was telling something in Li Si's direction.
Li Si, who was sitting in front of the case, with one hand rolled up his sleeves and the other holding a pen, was writing something while listening, his face gradually became more and more ugly.
He was wearing a blue robe and was sitting upright. His face looked a little more weathered than when he fought with Han Fei in South Korea.
He is no longer the student he once was.
But an ambitious politician.
He is a person who values power very much.
Because power is the biggest and most important tool in his hands.
Because what he wants is to be famous in history, to have glory and wealth, to have a prosperous family, to display his talents and ambitions, and only power can give him these things.
Listening to the news told by the man in black, Li Si's face turned pale, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly. Li Si did not continue writing, and remained in a stalemate like this for a long time.
A drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen.
It fell on the bamboo slips on the table.
Li Si was still sitting on his knees.
He gently put the pen aside.
The man in black was Li Si's confidant. He lowered his head at the moment and did not dare to look at Li Si.
He has followed Li Si for many years and knows that Li Si is very angry at this moment.
Because he brought the news, but as a subordinate, he could not deceive his superior.
When Han Feizi died in prison, some people deliberately spread rumors, which branded Li Si as someone who harmed his fellow disciples and was jealous of the talented and capable.
Even though this incident was not a big problem for Li Si, its impact cannot be completely eliminated until now.
And today, there are four more words.
Deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor.
In this era where everyone cherishes their reputation, these words really sound "good".
Li Si couldn't bear the sound.
What the man in black told Li Si was a rumor that has been widely circulated in the world in recent days.
This rumor includes two things.
The first thing is the news about the fire in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
Not long ago, a fire broke out inexplicably in the Little Sage Village located in Qilu.
The fire was so fierce that it was said that even a corner of the Confucian Buddhist Scripture Pavilion was destroyed.
There are a large number of Confucian classics in the Nazangjing Pavilion, even written by Mencius himself.
Regarding the fire, Li Si had only two questions.
First, there is Uncle Wan Zhang, and his master Xunzi is sitting in the village. How can the small Shengxian Village catch fire?
Second, how come this fire was blamed on him, Li Si?
He asked Zhao Gao to send people to Xiaoshengxian Village just to go through the motions and put on a political show for Ying Zheng.
Did Zhao Gao really kill people and set fires?
Is he such a tiger?!
The second thing is about Wei Yan.
With this fire, and the attitude of Confucianism from top to bottom, which is now so determined that it uses all the strength of Confucianism to attack the net, Wei Yan's name and his Li Si's name have spread all over the nine states.
Wei Yan, a young and handsome man, the proud son of Confucianism, single-handedly defeated the two great masters of Luo Shen Zhi Sun and Yin Yang Family Xing Hun, with both civil and military skills.
His four most famous sentences are still hanging motionless on the burnt-out library of the Little Sage Manor: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations."
.”
Li Si didn't take Wei Yan very seriously.
Even if he is his uncle in name only.
After all, these four sentences are just like that in Li Si's eyes. Although they show the culture, mind, and style of Confucianism and make Confucianism exposed, they are "fake, big, and empty."
Moreover, he carefully noticed that Wei Yan did not have any works related to governing the country.
Although his ambitions are great and his literary talent is indeed good, if you ask Wei Yan how to govern the country and maintain peace, you may not know everything about it.
He may become a Confucian knight who will go down in history, but in the eyes of him and that person, there is no comparison with his senior brother Han Fei.
Is he worthy of making me jealous?
But what makes Li Si sad is that Wei Yan's departure from Confucianism was also blamed on him.
And Li Si's reputation for "crueling his fellow disciples and bullying his teachers and destroying his ancestors" spread throughout the world once again.
Misfortune comes from the sky, it is an unforeseen disaster.
Now, some people say that he is Pang Juan of Qin.
For his own selfish interests, Pang Juan was jealous of talents and persecuted his fellow disciple Sun Bin. In the end, Sun Bin's revenge caused Wei to lose its troops and generals, and its national power was greatly damaged.
Although Pang Juan's failure was closely related to King Wei's mediocrity, Gongzi Xian's behavior as an actor was inseparable.
But the important thing is not this, but the fact that some people compared Li Si to Pang Juan!
This is the most vicious.
"You, go." Li Si suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered the subordinates in front of him: "Go and ask Zhao Gao what he wants to do!"
He hasn't done it before, so there can only be something wrong with Zhao Gao.
It would be fine if harming Li Si's reputation could bring any benefit to Qin. He was willing to take the blame for Qin because that person valued all their contributions.
But so far, has Qin gained any benefits?
Why would Zhao Gao do such a thing that harms others but does not benefit oneself!?
"I accept my order from my humble position." The man in black bowed his head and responded, but before he could stand up, he was stopped by Li Si.
"Wait a minute!" Li Si waved his hand, his blue sleeves trembling.
"I wonder if you have any other orders, sir?" The man in black lowered his head and asked respectfully.
"That's it, that's all." Li Si waved his hand and said.
"I wonder what you mean, sir?" After going back and forth, the man in black was also confused by the question.
The wind noise outside was also very chaotic, and a fire burned everything.
There is anything to say.
"Hey, go tell Zhao Gao that the destruction of Confucianism is of great importance. Let him come back and discuss it in the long run." After a long time, Li Si sighed and said to the man in black in front of him.
First, he wanted to know what Zhao Gao was planning.
Secondly, he hoped that Zhao Gao would realize the seriousness of the problem.
If you harm your fellow disciples, then harm your fellow disciples. If you bully your master and destroy your ancestors, then bully your master and destroy your ancestors.
He won't be able to carry this name for long.
When the Qin Dynasty is unified, history will still be written by them.
Xun Qing, when the black water dragon flag is planted all over the nine states, I will finally prove to you and the world that I, Li Si, am not weak to Han Fei!
Suppressing the frustration in his heart, Li Si took up writing again.
He was once a minister who bowed his head to the throne of King Qin.
But now...
Inheriting the political favor of King Qin, he is in charge of the important weapons of the country.
Following the political orders of the King of Qin, he unified the nine states and re-established enfeoffments.
Show your ambition today!
I, Li Si, will personally create for you a huge and powerful empire that has never appeared on this land before.
There are one hundred in the seven kingdoms, I want one hundred!
