After the sealing ceremony, it can be said that the main purpose of His Majesty the Emperor's eastern tour has been completed, and it will not take long to return to Xianyang City in Qidi. However, Qi Di is the place where the famous Confucianism is located among the hundreds of sons, and the doctrine of the Confucian sage Confucius has always been sought after by scholars in the world and is regarded as the supreme principle of heaven and earth. The place where Confucianism is located is not very far from Mount Tai, so after coming down on Mount Tai, Ying Zheng suddenly wanted to visit Confucianism.

Ying Zheng said that he wanted to visit Confucianism, but he would not go immediately, and after he said his thoughts, the accompanying courtiers were not easy to stop, so he had to go to Confucianism first to convey the news that His Majesty the Emperor was going to come in person.

After the death of Confucius, his students built a small sage village here to commemorate their teacher to convey the teacher's teachings. Over the past 100 years, this place has become a sacred place in the hearts of scholars all over the world, and it is also the founding place of Confucianism.

In the Sage Village, the person at the helm of Confucianism today is Fu Nian, Fu Nian is recognized as a learned person in the contemporary Sage Village, after the previous generation of Xunzi retreated into the background, Fu Nian was elected as the person in charge of the small Sage Village.

"Senior brother, I heard that the emperor is going to come to Shengxian Village, I wonder if this is true?" Fu Nian had just sent off the Linzi County Guard who had come to deliver the message, and returned to the living room of Shengxian Village to sit down, when someone came in and asked him.

Fu Nian looked at the person who entered the room, then picked up the cup of fragrant tea that he had not drunk, took a sip lightly, and then replied: "Ofan, you are acting in a panic like this, what kind of system have you become!"

The person who entered the house was Zhang Liang, he was Fu Nian's junior brother, and he was also the person in charge of Xiao Shengxian Village, who had just come back from outside not long ago, so after he learned that the emperor was going to come to Xiao Shengxian Village, he hurriedly dared to ask Senior Brother Fu Nian.

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then asked the senior brother: "Senior brother, don't blame, the ovary is reckless." ”

Fu Nian put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhang Liang and said: "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor will come to my Little Sage Village the day after tomorrow, and you and Yan Lu will go out with me to greet you, don't lose your courtesy." ”

The day after tomorrow! Zhang Liang's conscience was shocked, this Yingzheng came really fast. "Senior brother, rest assured, the ovary will obey the order. The second senior brother doesn't know about this yet, so I'll go and tell the second senior brother about it. ”

"Good. ”

"The ovary will be retired first. Zhang Liang withdrew from the meeting room and went to the courtyard where Yan Lu, the second senior brother of Zhuang Nei, lived.

After informing the second senior brother of Yingzheng's coming, Zhang Liang also returned to his residence, where not only himself, but also the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family who returned here with him from Bolangsha.

Seeing Zhang Liang come back, Xiang Liang stood up from the cushion and asked, "The ovary, how is it?

Zhang Liang nodded, walked to Xiang Liang and sat down, and said, "I have already asked Senior Brother about this, and the day after tomorrow will be the day when Yingzheng arrives." ”

"The day after tomorrow, so soon!" Xiang Liang was surprised after listening to Zhang Liang's words. Originally, these people thought that after Ying Zheng came down from Mount Tai, he would quickly return to Xianyang City, so he took great risks to come to the Sage Village to temporarily avoid the limelight, as the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, Qin Jun would not have thought that they would hide under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor, but they did not expect to go to the opposite side with Ying Zheng.

Zhang Liang sighed, he didn't expect things to develop to this point. Ying Zheng came to Xiaoshengxianzhuang, as the general of Qin, Meng Tian, and the person in charge of Yingzheng's eastern tour, will definitely follow Yingzheng to Shengxianzhuang. If he followed the senior brother to meet Yingzheng, then Meng Tian would definitely recognize him, and then the little sage village would usher in an unprecedented disaster.

"I have been instructed by the senior brother to greet Ying Zheng with him the day after tomorrow, and when Meng Tian comes with Ying Zheng, I am afraid that the traces of our people will be exposed. Not only us, but also Xiao Shengxianzhuang and all the Confucian students here will be in danger. Zhang Liang said that this is what he is most worried about.

Xiang Liang also understood that what Zhang Liang said was indeed true, if they hadn't met Meng Tian in Bolangsha that day, the danger would have been much lower this time. But the problem is that they have already encountered it, how should this be?

"Is there a way to keep Yingzheng from coming to Shengxian Village?" said Xiang Yu, who had been sitting on the side without speaking.

Zhang Liang shook his head, "It's impossible, Ying Zheng is the emperor today, how can the things he decide change so easily." ”

"Could it be that our news here has been revealed, otherwise according to Yingzheng's temperament, which has never liked Confucian teachings, how could he deign to come to Xiaoshengxian Village?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "No, in addition to me and the two senior brothers who live here, there is also Teacher Xunzi who lives in the backyard of Shengxian Village." In addition, although there are other people living in the village, the residence of our three brothers and Xunzi is taken care of by our own people, and these people will never be able to reveal the news that you are here, so you can rest assured. ”

Xiang Liang stroked his beard and said: "In that case, Ying Zheng's visit to Xiaoshengxian Village is just a whim, and the news that we are here has indeed not leaked out." ”

Xiang Yu was overjoyed, stood up and said to his uncle and Zhang Liang: "Uncle, Mr. Zhang Liang, then do we have another chance to kill Yingzheng?"

"Yu'er!" Xiang Liang interrupted Xiang Yu's words and asked him to sit back. "Little Sage Village is a place for the saints to teach, but also a holy place in the hearts of the world's scholars, even if we want to do it, we can't choose to do it here, otherwise you let my Xiang clan in the hearts of the world's scholars what they think? This is Mr. Zhang Liang's home, all our actions here must obey Mr. Zhang Liang's arrangement, and we must not act recklessly. ”

"Yes, uncle. Mr. Zhang Liang is being rude. After listening to Xiang Liang's reprimand, Xiang Yu hurriedly apologized to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, as Mr. Xiang Liang said, the Little Sage Village is indeed not a place to do it, and if you are not careful, it will make the entire Little Sage Village bleed." And now what we want to talk about is not to do anything to Yingzheng, but how to raise the little sage village to survive this difficulty. ”

"But the gentleman already has a countermeasure?" asked Xiang Liang.

"I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet. Ying Zhengye will be here tomorrow, and we still have a day to prepare tomorrow, and I think there should be enough time. ”

Hearing Zhang Liang say this, Xiang Liang settled a little in his heart. He was originally a person who believed in Confucian teachings, but it was a pity that the Chu State was attacked by the Qin State back then, and his Xiang family was the person in charge of the Chu army, so he had to lead the troops to fight. So this time he was able to follow Zhang Liang to Xiao Shengxian Village, Xiang Liang was very reluctant to go, how could he bring death to Xiao Shengxian Village again.

Zhang Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew: "No matter what, since the two of you are willing to come to the Little Sage Village, then I, Zhang Liang, will not let the two of you have anything happen in the village." So no matter what happens the day after tomorrow, the two of you can rest assured. ”

Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu glanced at each other, and then arched their hands to Zhang Liang and said, "In this way, thank you sir!"

In Linzi City, because of the arrival of Yingzheng, there were almost more Qin soldiers on the street than ordinary people, and anyone who met someone with suspicious deeds had to be arrested and interrogated first, and finally the family could take the person away with a certificate issued by the county guard. Once this law was implemented, within two days, there was hardly a single ordinary person walking on the street in Linzi City. This made Emperor Yingzheng, who originally wanted to appreciate the customs of Qidi, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he also knew that this was the last resort of the local county guard to protect his safety, so he didn't blame these officials, so he had to give up the nature of wanting to go out and go to the Confucian holy land Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

However, the night before Ying Zheng was going to Xiao Shengxian Village, a sudden change occurred.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty ......" In the temporary palace, Ying Zheng was reviewing the excerpts sent from Xianyang City eight hundred miles in an emergency, when suddenly Zhao Gao's voice came in from outside.

Zhao Gao had already entered the palace and fell to his knees. Ying Zheng frowned, not knowing what had happened to make Zhao Gao so shocked.

"Zhao Gao, why are you so alarmed? Ying Zheng put down the fold in his hand, looked at Zhao Gao and said.

Zhao Gao raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then continued to lie on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, a huge fireball suddenly appeared in the sky, heading towards the east, and I don't know where it fell. There are changes in the sky, and the villain is afraid that something big will happen, so he is here to play His Majesty. ”

A huge fireball falling from the sky? This incident made Yingzheng extremely interested. "Did the fireball really fall from the sky?"

Zhao Gao nodded vigorously, "The villain doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, there is indeed a huge fireball falling from the sky." ”

"Go, call the prime minister and Meng Tian to me, and give me a good investigation of this matter. "Since ancient times, although there have been fires falling from the sky, almost all of them have brought disasters, and even brought disasters to destroy the country, so Ying Zheng did not dare to be careless in this matter.

A fireball fell from the sky, and such a heavenly change was almost seen by everyone in the world, and Li Si, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and other ministers of the Qin State who followed Luan drove naturally saw it, so before Zhao Gao came to deliver the decree, almost everyone rushed to the door of the palace, waiting for the summons of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Zhongqing, you all know what you want to do to gather everyone, but can anyone solve my doubts?" Looking at the many ministers who came in after Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng asked.
