Chapter 86 The Imperial Academy of the Great Qin Empire (2)
Although this is the first time that applause as a welcome gift has officially appeared in Daqin, no one has ever used it before.
But people from all walks of life can now understand that it is a courtesy to welcome even if they think with their toes. His Majesty the Emperor's way of welcoming is very interesting. The roar of applause made the people of all schools who had suffered a lot suddenly feel a little bit a little bit nervous.
smug..
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the factions of the Bai Jia bowed and saluted Hu Hai and said in unison. Although the current Bai Jia and Da Qin are still in a period where they have different paths and do not collude with each other, the Bai Jia even wants to overthrow the behemoth of Da Qin.
But as the famous leaders of hundreds of schools of thought, all of whom are knowledgeable and cultural people, we can’t lose our status if someone gives us face, right? What’s more, the person who gives us face is His Majesty the Emperor of Qin.
For a while, there was a feeling of harmony between the king and his ministers in the main hall. As for the discord behind it, only everyone understood it in their own hearts.
"Masters, please take a seat! Let's have a banquet!"
After three rounds of drinking, someone jumped out and started to make trouble.
"I wonder why your Majesty has 'invited' people from hundreds of families and factions like us to come here this time?"
The first person to speak was Confucian Wentongjun Kong Yu.
Hu Hai put down the wine bottle and looked at Kong Yu, whose eyes were blue and purple, half white and half green, with a big red nose and a high crown. He couldn't help but look back at Ying Yi, suppressing his smile and said: "I don't know.
Who is this person from?"
As soon as Hu Hai said these words, Kong Yu, who was originally punched several times by Ying Yi, got angry and went berserk. He even said that he didn't know who he was?
"I am the eighth generation grandson of Saint Kong, the head of Confucianism!" Kong Yu forced himself to calm down, but his words were full of gunpowder.
Kong Yu, the eighth generation grandson of Confucius, lived in the hometown of Confucius in Wei State. He originally had good relations with Zhang Er and Chen Yu. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, Kong Yu defected to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and was worshiped as a doctor. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang
He was exterminated by Zhang Han, and Kong Yu also died in the rebellion.
Hu Hai really didn't know this old man with a big red nose. When he heard that he was a Confucian leader and a direct descendant of the famous Saint Kong, he couldn't help but feel awe in his heart. However, looking at the funny face of Kong Yu with the big red nose, he couldn't help but
I can't respect you.
"It turns out to be Mr. Kong, whose name I have admired for a long time!" Hu Hai said with a smile.
But no one could tell from Hu Hai's teasing smile that he had admired his famous name for a long time.
"Your Majesty, please tell me clearly why you brought us to the banquet. If nothing happens, I hope your Majesty will let us go home." Kong Yu could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and said directly.
The rest of the hundreds of families share the same hatred at this moment. After all, when Yingyi "invited" them, these people suffered a lot. After hearing Kong Kun's words, they all stood up and bowed to Hu Hai and said: "Your Majesty, please speak clearly.
!”
"How outrageous! Many of you are wanted criminals in our Great Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty does not pursue them, but instead gives you a banquet. What kind of kindness is this? You dare to be so disrespectful to your Majesty. You should really punish the nine tribes!"
Li Si stood up and shouted angrily that he was originally opposed to Hu Hai's banquet in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, which he had always looked down on, but he only learned the news when he came, and it was already too late to object.
At this moment, seeing these people unite to run against Hu Hai, and there is not much respect in their words, this is not only related to Hu Hai, but also directly related to the face of Da Qin. How can Li Si, as the prime minister of Da Qin, tolerate it?
"Li Aiqing, don't be angry, don't be angry. Ying Yi, what's going on? Didn't I tell you to invite all of you to the banquet? What's going on?" Hu Hai asked falsely, turning his head and making a gesture to Ying Yi.
color.
Yingyi immediately understood and apologized quickly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being lax in handling my subordinates. Yingyi apologizes to all of you! When I go back, I will definitely punish the soldiers who offended you and give you an explanation!"
Ying Yi said it in a high-sounding way and bowed deeply to the disciples of all schools of thought.
Although people from hundreds of schools of thought could see that this was obviously the emperor playing a double act with Ying, saying that he would be punished heavily, but who knew if there was no punishment? But if you don't hit the smiling man, you are all civilized people, so you have to pinch it.
The nose swallowed the breath.
"Master Ying is serious!" Zhuang Ren and others quickly bowed and returned the courtesy.
"I didn't think carefully about this matter, and I have made you feel wronged. I would like to toast you all!" Hu Hai climbed up the pole.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Kong Kun had no choice but to bow to Hu Hai helplessly along with people from hundreds of families.
Hu Hai put down the wine bottle and said, "Sit down, gentlemen! I invite you all to come this time. We do have something to discuss! But first, I have to cancel an edict. Draft an edict to remove the wanted orders against Confucianism and other schools of thought, so that each school can
Preach the gospel freely within our territory of Daqin."
Li Si and other three ministers were shocked when they heard Hu Hai's words. No one expected that Hu Hai would drop such a bombshell as soon as he came up. Kong Yu and other people from hundreds of families were also stunned.
"Your Majesty, I have objections!" Li Si said loudly.
"This matter has been decided, no objections can be raised!" Hu Hai stared at Li Si and immediately said in a solemn voice.
None of the ministers expected Hu Hai to be so tough. Yao Jia and others who originally wanted to jump out and follow Li Si to oppose them suddenly stopped thinking. Li Si couldn't help but hesitated! Then he reacted and said: "Your Majesty, this is His Majesty the First Emperor...
"
"I know this is my father's edict. But now!" Hu Hai interrupted Li Si, paused slightly and suddenly said sternly: "I am the Emperor of Qin!"
"I am the Emperor of Qin!"
The six simple words echoed loudly in the hall.
After being interrupted, Li Si looked at Hu Hai who was sitting in the main hall in a daze. He seemed to have seen the Emperor of the First Emperor who once sat on the high platform and kept his words!
"My dear friends, do you still have objections?" Hu Hai suddenly said with a gentle smile, but his eyes were extremely cold.
"I obey the order!"
Seeing the coldness hidden under the smiles of Hu Hai and Xi, Meng Tian, Feng Quji, Yao Jia and others hurriedly said respectfully.
Hearing that Meng Tian and others responded to the order, Hu Hai nodded lightly, without looking at Li Si who was still in a daze, and then turned to the people on the right side of the hall and said, "What? Do you all have objections too?"
"Oh, no, no, no." Kong Yu, Zhuang Ren and others who were still stunned at first said quickly after hearing Hu Hai's words, and then they reacted and bowed to Hu Hai, "I will thank you for your kindness! Your Majesty is wise!"
This voice is more emotional than before. It sounds much more pleasant to the ears, Hu Hai said to himself.
Obviously, Hu Hai's move immediately made people from all walks of life find a sense of belonging, and the hostility in their hearts also dissipated a lot. Although it is not that they will return home immediately, but starting well is not half the success.
"Haha. You don't need to be polite!" Hu Hai said with a smile, "Then let me talk about the business!"
"We are waiting to listen to His Majesty's holy instructions!"
People from hundreds of families hurriedly said in unison, the first thing Hu Hai did was to withdraw the edict issued by the First Emperor during his lifetime despite the objections of Prime Minister Li Si. And that was not a serious matter, so what should be a serious matter?
On the contrary, Li Si and others felt uneasy. They were worried that something evil might happen to Hu Hai again.
"You are all the most knowledgeable people in the world, but today I want to ask you, who are the ancestors of the people in the world today?"
When Kong Yu heard what Hu Hai said, he quickly replied: "We should take Emperor Xuanyuan as our ancestor!"
Although Hu Hai had just revoked the order to arrest people from hundreds of schools of thought, and Confucianism was the most wanted among them, Kong Yu had already discovered Hu Hai's intentions when he revoked the wanted order from Hu Hai.
That is, Hu Hai must have come today to reunite hundreds of schools for the use of the Qin Dynasty. Although people from hundreds of schools, especially Confucianists, have always wanted to be appreciated by the royal nobles and enter the court, but for some reason Kong Yu didn't want Hu Hai to be so relaxed.
succeed.
The fact that Hu Hai had just canceled his wanted order had obviously made the other hundreds of families less hostile towards Da Qin or towards Hu Hai. So when he heard Hu Hai's question this time, Kong Yu immediately jumped out and said.
"Well, do you agree with Mr. Kong's answer?" Hu Hai asked with a smile.
"That's true!" The rest of the family responded.
"Then why do you all use Qin, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qi and other countries to divide our descendants from the same origin as Emperor Xuanyuan?"
