Fan Zeng was right, with the appearance of the spectacle of the sky bewildering and guarding the heart, Xianyang at this time was already panicked.

The first to blow up the pot was the Tianguan and Taishi, who were responsible for monitoring the stars, and the officials were panicked, followed by a few Confucian scholars who were the only ones who had a little study of stargazing, they were either gloating or worried, and for a while, the scholars were discussing this vision, and there was a lot of noise.

But soon, with the cold ban of the Imperial History Mansion and Tingwei, there was no longer a sound of discussion in the entire Xianyang, and it was silent.

"Hundreds of officials and heads of Qian, don't talk about the astrology!"

But it is impossible to think that this incident did not happen, although the doctors learned the lessons of Xi and others, did not dare to assassinate Qin Shi Huang again, and mentioned that Confucianism is best at "righteous punishment and virtue, and go to heaven with things", but in private, they secretly gathered at the Chun Yuyue family, who had stepped down as a doctor, to discuss the matter.

But what Chun Yuyue didn't expect was that a few disciples had just left on the front foot, and on the back foot, a jailer came to the door, and he couldn't help but say that he would be arrested and taken to the Xianyang County Temple!

When he came to Xianyang Cheng Yan Le, that is, Zhao Gao's son-in-law, Chun Yuyue was still arguing vigorously according to his high Confucian crown.

"We haven't drunk!"

Drinking in groups, Chun Yuyue thought that this was the reason for Xianyang County to arrest him, or that some neighbor with a broken mouth had sued them.

The crime of mass drinking was practiced during the Shang Dynasty, and later with the opening of the ditches in the Qin State and the increase in grain production, it was relaxed for a time.

However, since the spring of this year, Qin Shi Huang was invited by the Great Xia Kingdom to order Li Xin to lead 60,000 troops and civilians, tens of thousands of cattle and horses out of the Yumen Guanxi expedition, wanting to bring the north and south of the Western Regions under his rule, hoping to cross the green mountains next year, go deep into the "strip branches" in the west of Great Xia, and find the real Western Queen Mother State.

When Zhangye County was first established, the grain output was very small, and it could only feed grain from Guanzhong for thousands of miles. A large amount of grain stored in the warehouses has been continuously supplied to the west, and the price of grain in Guanzhong, which has always been known as the "land of abundance," has also quadrupled within half a year, and there is a trend of continuing to rise.

Therefore, in order to save food, the Imperial History Office revised the law and reaffirmed the prohibition of alcohol, especially for groups of more than three people, if you catch it once, you will be fined four taels!

Xianyang Cheng Yan Le smiled: "Mr. Chunyu, whether you drink alcohol or not, can the official still know?" ”

Next, Yan Le did something that shocked Chun Yuyue, a picture scroll was spread out in front of him, and a living room was painted on it, and five people were sitting in it.

"Mr. Chunyu, come and see, although this painter's painting is a little worse, but this white Confucian crown wearing a black Confucian robe, sitting on the couch, is you right?"

Then, Yan Le pointed to those people one by one, not only named them, but also said clearly the clothes they were wearing, where they were at that time, and how many fruits were placed on the table in front of them.

What's even more shocking is that even the dialogue between the five people has been briefly recorded, and Chun Yuyue is the most detailed.

"Next, I read, you just need to nod and shake your head to see if this is what you said......"

Yan Le held the book and read it openly: "You said, the change of the stars, the response of the appearance, to show the heavenly ring, and the affairs of the king." ”

"And say, if there is a great drought in the country, is it not a loss of punishment and virtue? There are disasters in the sky, the reason is that the monarch is immoral, and the same is true of this confusion and guarding the heart, which is the way of His Majesty the Emperor to abolish the previous kings, abandon the words of a hundred schools, vainly open border provocations, and do not practice feudalism, you still say......"

Chun Yuyue's face turned pale when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and said, "Enough!" I think that's exactly what I said. ”

He understood, either the Xianyang jailer had been so powerful that he hid in his house to monitor his every move, or someone among the four Confucian scholars reported to the government afterwards......

"But the old man said that all this is for the sake of Daqin's long-term peace and stability, and it will continue for eternity!"

Chun Yuyue felt that he was very wronged: "The reason why the two generations of Yin and Zhou can last for more than a thousand years is because of the division of the sons and daughters of the heroes, and they are the branches and auxiliaries. Now Your Majesty has a wide range of seas, and the territory is far beyond Kyushu, and the princes are just horses, no size of the seal, in case there are Tian Chang and Liuqing ministers in the court in the future, and the court has no princes to complement each other, how can they save each other? This glowing star is a warning, a warning to Your Majesty, even if you don't seal the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, then Haidong, Lingnan, Zhangye, and even the Western Regions can always divide the sons of the past......"

"Don't miss a word, write it down!"

Yan Le happily interrupted Chun Yuyue's words, and said to the little official who was recording on the side: "This fool is talking about three generations again, and he is not the present again!" As loyal ministers, we must find out all his henchmen. ”

Chun Yuyue was furious, and he couldn't care about decency, so he got up and pointed at Yan Le's nose and scolded: "You! You are a cool official, and you are not a loyal minister! ”

Yan Le wiped the spit from the tip of his nose and sneered, "You still claim to be a loyal minister? Why do you think there would be people who were timid to report everything to the government? It's better for you to say what you shouldn't say. The Confucian who talked to you said, Yingfu guarded his heart, the lord changed the government, the lord went to his palace, His Majesty was afraid of death, and there was joy on his face, saying that a certain prince could ascend the throne, and the world should be safe......"

"With ill intentions, he openly cursed His Majesty's short life, and began to look forward to the succession of the new emperor, which is also for the long-term peace and stability of Great Qin?"

"This ......" Chun Yuyue was dumbfounded, of course they said they were happy, and they were a little carried away.

Yan Le straightened his face and shouted: "Chun Yuyue, I advise you, be cautious in your words and deeds!" Your words and deeds should be used as evidence, handed over to the court captain, and your majesty will be convicted of your crimes! ”

……

Although the celestial phenomenon of the glowing and guarding the heart disappeared quickly, the vibration it brought to the Xianyang government and the opposition did not go out for a long time.

At the end of August, Xianyang Cheng Yan Le reported to Qin Shi Huang, saying that the former doctor Chun Yuyue had gathered Confucian scholars at home, and everything was recorded and handed over to the emperor for his attention.

Qin Shi Huang immediately ordered the construction of a large prison, the arrest of Chun Yuyue and the people involved in the case, and at the same time detained the "book law" incident, the only remaining dozens of doctors in Xianyang, after getting the emperor's permission, Yan Le even went to the mansion of the son Fusu to arrest people......

For a time, people's hearts fluctuated.

At this delicate moment, on the day of low scheduling, the Changnan Hou Mansion, which easily did not open the door, ushered in a faltering guest.

Staggering because of fat, although his home is next door to the Weifu, but because he eats too much sugar, Zhang Cang, whose weight is approaching 250, is still tired and out of breath, sitting in the small hall where Ye Zijin welcomes guests, and drinks several large bowls of "tea" sent back from the south by Heifu.

After drinking the tea soup, Zhang Fatzi said with satisfaction: "Although the water soaked in this southern leaf is a little astringent, it also quenches your thirst." ”

Ye Zijin asked the maid to continue for Zhang Cang, and introduced: "These wild teas are only available in Yuzhang, Huiji, and Minyue hills, when the lover led the army to attack Minyue, it did not rain for a long time, and the army was thirsty, and there were soldiers who picked the leaves on the roadside and put them in their mouths, and they were able to give birth to Jin, and they were a little bitter at the beginning, and when they went to the water source to drink, they had sweetness, so they were named tea ......."

Zhang Cang's stomach is filled with not only fat, but also knowledge, poetry or something, and he opens his mouth to come: "Who says that tea is bitter, it is as sweet as camelina." ”

He smiled narrowly, "Black ...... Chang Nanhou likes to choose a name the most, but every time it is ugly, it is finally a little more elegant and appropriate......"

Ye Zijin couldn't help laughing, but she knew that Zhang Cang's visit to the door today was by no means a reminiscence.

Sure enough, Zhang Cangdao made it clear what he meant: "Mrs. Wei should also know about the recent incident that caused the confusion and guarding?" ”

Ye said: "I have heard a little. ”

Zhang Cang sighed: "Actually, it's not a big deal at all, my master Xun Qing said that there is a constant in heaven, not for Yao, not for death." If it should be treated, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious. The eclipses of the sun and the moon, the wind and rain from time to time, and the party of strange stars see that there is no world and does not taste it, it is just a natural thing, so why make a fuss. ”

But in the whole world, except for Heifu, there are not many people who can agree with this sentence, and together with Li Si and Fu Chubo of the door, they can't talk to Zhang Cang.

Although Zhang Cang really wanted to tell the emperor loudly and tell the world that it is the normal trajectory of the stars, give me some time, Lao Tzu can calculate why it deviates and how often it deviates!

But Zhang Cang suffered a loss on the top of Mount Tai many years ago, knowing that people who pretend to be asleep can't wake up, the world is complicated, although he can prove it, others don't believe it, but want to gag his mouth.

Now it's not a question of whether it's right or wrong, but it can't be said or discussed at all, and the court has reached the point where the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan during the reign of King Zhou Li!

What worries him even more is that first several members of the Mo family were exiled half a year ago, and now it is Confucianism who is unlucky, and things hurt him, although Zhang Cang, who claims to be a scribe, does not care much about political affairs, but he can also see that these two incidents are a bit aimed at Gongzi Fusu.

Zhang Cang had a good impression of this son who respected the knowledge of all the sons and loved Shi Renxian, and saw that he was in trouble, and all the ministers were silent, only feeling like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't stay in the study at all.

After thinking about it, I could only come to the Governor's Mansion to inquire when Heifu would be able to return to Xianyang.

He has a kind of confidant-like trust in Heifu, and feels that as long as he is in Xianyang, there may be a solution to these chaos.

No matter how bad it is, you can also listen to Ye's opinion, Zhang Cang once heard Heifu drunk and boasted that Ye Zijin's sensitivity to political affairs is stronger than him......

Ye Zijin didn't say anything at first, but it wasn't until Zhang Cang asked again and again that he let the maids go out, leaving only the eldest son to play in the house.

"Since the eldest brother has to ask me, with the ignorance of the concubine, Your Majesty is so wise and wise, will he not know that the Mo, Confucianism and Gongzi are close?"

"This ......" Zhang Cang's heart was cold, knowing and deliberately getting rid of it, could it be that the emperor was afraid that his son was quite popular after the Eastern Expedition, and his wings were growing and he was threatened?

Ye Shi guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, it's not like this." ”

At this time, there was a burst of children's crying, but the second son Fubo woke up from a nap, crying for his mother, and Fu Mu brought him in, Ye Zijin held him in his arms, touched his son's head, and said with a smile: "In this world, there are no parents who don't love their children, the eldest brother is erudite, he must know the story of Meng's mother's three migrations, right?" ”

Zhang Cang, of course, knew that it is said that Mencius lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother. Their home was close to the cemetery, Mencius and his friends learned to come to cry and mourn, learned some worship and other things, and played at the grave, so Mengzi's mother said that this place was not suitable for my son to live in, so she moved. She moved her family to the vicinity of the bazaar, and Mencius learned to do business and slaughter, so Mengzi's mother moved again, until she moved to the edge of the palace of learning, Mencius began to learn from Confucianism, and was polite, and Mengzi's mother was satisfied and settled down.

He understood a little: "What Madame means is that in the eyes of Your Majesty, Confucianism and Mo are just like the places where the Meng family lived in the first two times, and those who were funeral and businessmen slaughtered dogs, but they are also bad friends, so they should be driven away from Gongzi one by one?" ”

But this is too rude, and it is easy to cause bad thoughts from others.

But this is Qin Shi Huang, doing things is completely unreasonable, since Gongzi Fusu is always surrounded by Confucian and Mo disciples, driving away a batch of people and coming again, then simply kill it completely!

It's really difficult to have such a father and Fusu as a son......

Ye Zijin said: "It's not just the bad friends around the son, but now Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Rumo has been regarded as a thorn in the flesh, and it must be pulled out...... The beloved son of the parents has far-reaching plans, of course, this is just a little rough opinion of the concubine. ”

Zhang Cang felt very reasonable: "Then Mrs. Yiwei, what should Gongzi Fusu do now?" ”

Ye Zijin groaned, Heifu had written to tell the Ye family, act in a low-key manner, don't provoke any forces, and wait for his news, now the water in Xianyang is about to boil again, and the south is still untrustworthy, she is very helpless, so she has to find a way to cool down this charcoal furnace, borrowing Zhang Cang's hand, maybe it can ......

So Ye shook his head: "At this time, it is easy to make mistakes in doing anything and saying anything, but one thing will not be wrong." ”

Zhang Cang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

At this moment, the eldest son peeled a fruit and handed it to his mother like a treasure, Ye Zijin praised him with a smile and took the fruit.

"Of course, it is something that Confucianism, Moism, Legalism, and even people in the world think are right......"

She held the fruit peeled by her son in the palm of her hand and said with some ostentatiousness:

"Filial piety!"

……

After Zhang Cang ended his visit to the Weifu, after wandering at the intersection for a long time, he finally stomped his feet and went to Gongzi Fusu Mansion!

The next day, Gongzi Fusu gave a note to Qin Shi Huang:

"Antares three-star, not the emperor star, there are also two stars of the subgenus, Yingfu guards the heart, retrograde, this is the improper employment of the ministers, Ah Fang has not been completed for a long time, and the heavenly police are incurred! Now the ministers have chased out the corrupt Confucianism, so that they will return to their own families, and hope that their father and emperor will plan for the world, don't be angry, take care of the jade body......"
