The turmoil of book burning subsided for the time being after the emperor himself came forward to explain.

But the after-effects have not completely disappeared.

All the scattered hundreds of scholars gathered in the Quyuan Miscellaneous House to secretly speculate, and at the same time they were waiting for the emperor to say that he would invite celebrities to the court to participate in major government affairs.

There was a saying in later generations that Xiucai rebelled for three years.

In fact, all dynasties and dynasties have never succeeded in reading and rebelling.

However, the literati can't rebel, and the troubled country is indeed a good hand.

Many dynasties in later generations were overthrown by literati disasters.

For example, in the current situation, Li Si wants to suppress the Hundred Sects and make the Legalist family dominant, and the disciples of the Hundred Sects are naturally unwilling to be killed, so they must resist.

In the past, Confucianism was not reused, the Mo family had fallen apart, and the old disciples of Huang were already scattered and unable to form a unified pattern.

Therefore, there is no one to curb the continuous growth and rise of Legalism.

If this book burning order is really successful, Great Qin will no longer have a place for the disciples of the hundred schools to stand, just like the ending known to Chen Xu, many representatives of the hundred schools of thought were killed, arrested, and exiled to the border wasteland, and all the beings scattered and fled away from Xianyang, so that a prosperous empire began to decline.

However, this book burning order is very different from the historical record, at least several years in time, and there is a turning point, because Qin Shi Huang met Chen Xu.

In addition to Chen Xu, the historical-stirring stick that appeared out of thin air, Qin Shi Huang has not yet pursued immortality to the point of madness, nor has he been deaf enough to be agreed by Li Si as soon as he said it, the most important thing is that this time there was no appearance of those liar warlocks, so that Qin Shi Huang's anger has not reached the point where it cannot be suppressed, and Chen Xu rushed to the palace in time to prevent the issuance of the book burning order.

And because Chen Xu refuted Li Si's book burning in the court, Chen Xu's status among the Fang family warlocks suddenly rose a lot, and it was also speculated that today's emperor could come out of the palace and show up in person to explain that the book burning would also be related to the Marquis of Qinghe, so many people gathered together were constantly discussing the Marquis of Qinghe.

Chen Xu returned to the newspaper in a carriage, and at this time, a group of people in the newspaper hall also waited for a long time, and when they saw Chen Xu coming back, Chen Ping, Qiu Cheng and others rushed up to inquire about the situation.

Chen Xu didn't say anything, but just asked people to find out Xunzi's "Persuasion" and "Chendao", and then typeset them as soon as possible and placed them in the section of hundreds of opinions.

"Master Hou, do you want to remove the two peasant policy theories of "Defending the Land" and "Shen Shi"?" Chen Ping cautiously asked Chen Xu, who was sitting in a daze on the chair.

"Well, the matter of burning books is too much, if it continues to make trouble, it will not be good for anyone, Li Sinai is a disciple of Xun Guo, we will send out Xun Guo's article, isn't he going to burn books, then hundreds of books also include Xun Qian's books, this kind of deception and destruction of ancestors will inevitably be fiercely criticized, and at the same time, on the front page to solicit boycott remarks, we must be reasonable, we want to stop this matter, the best way is to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, so that Li Si can not withstand this pressure!"

"Master Hou, Li Si is powerful, if the hundred schools of thought attack too much, will it backfire?" Chen Ping was a little worried.

"Hmph, he naturally won't give up easily, as long as Li Si reigns for a day, the status of the Legalist will be as stable as a mountain, there is a large group of Legalist disciples in the court who are constantly waving the flag for it, I am now weak, I can only find another way to fight, only by completely removing Li Si, many of my reform measures can be gradually implemented, and now His Majesty has made it clear that he will not burn books, so we have a great advantage, hurry up and do it, the newspaper will be printed and distributed before tomorrow morning, by the way, how many little newsboys did you find a few days ago?"

"Back to Hou Ye, I have found more than 30 of them, all of them are beggars about ten years old, and the unified backpack, vest and badge have also been made, ensuring that the sale of newspapers will not be delayed tomorrow." Chen Ping hurriedly said.

"That's good, these beggars are in groups of five, and each group arranges a helper to take care of and collect money, so as not to be robbed of money and injured!"

"Master Hou rest assured, as long as you hang up the badge of the Academy of Sciences, I'm afraid that no one in Xianyang has the courage to rob yet!" Chen Ping said with a relaxed smile.

"Go ahead, the newspaper will start printing after the layout is completed, don't rest tonight, and pay attention to the candles and safety ......"

Chen Xu returned to the Academy of Sciences after a few words, told everyone not to get close to the office, and then took out a pen and paper to meditate.

In the palace at this time, Qin Shi Huang was still sitting in the Zichen Hall with a calm face.

Just now Chen Xu scolded Li Si, and it could be seen that Chen Xu did react violently to the book burning, which means that Qinghe Hou was expressing his dissatisfaction with Li Si in this fierce way, and Qin Shi Huang also understood that Chen Xu did most of it on purpose.

"As soon as the book burning order is issued, such a rebellious thing as destroying the classics of the sages will definitely make Your Majesty infamous through the ages......"

Chen Xu's scolding voice was still in his ears, and it was still echoing in Qin Shi Huang's mind.

"Li Qing, Li Qing, how should I deal with this matter!" After sitting alone for a long time, Qin Shi Huang sighed and stood up, and walked out of the hall with a slightly depressed expression, ready to go to the harem to relax.

Li Si as his right-hand man, assisted him for 20 years, from the clerk in Lü Buwei's mansion to the Lang position, and then promoted to Changshi, and then to the court lieutenant, and then to the prime minister, these years have been conscientious, many of the suggestions put forward are in line with his appetite, and therefore gradually reused, it can be said that in the process of unifying the six countries, Li Si has made great contributions.

Today, Chen Xu scolded Li Si in front of him, making it clear that Li Si can no longer be in the position of the left minister and the honorable lord of Shangqing, this is simply a naked slap in the face, and it is in front of the emperor and Feng Quji, this is obviously a torn face, if this matter is spread out, the two will become fire and water in the future, and they will not be able to get along calmly at all.

As a newly rising aristocrat, Chen Xu's first object of venting his anger turned out to be the prime minister of the dynasty, which Qin Shihuang never expected.

And Chen Xu did this, Qin Shi Huang can roughly guess a few points, that is, Chen Xu is using this attitude to show his position, and he is also making a gesture to him, the emperor, between the old and new nobles, the emperor must choose one.

Qin Shi Huang will definitely not be able to make a decision at the moment, unless Li Si suddenly dies of old age or illness, which is another matter.

But if he is silent and ignores this matter, Chen Xu will definitely not be satisfied, and when he thinks of Chen Xu's identity, Qin Shihuang is even more depressed, and he pulls his beard all the way.

Since Chen Xu suddenly became famous because of Ziyun Immortal Tea two years ago, like a gust of wind, his reputation spread throughout Daqin in an instant, and a trip to the southeast, whether it was Taiyi Shenlei or Chen Xu's letter to him, or that tip, let Qin Shi Huang confirm that Chen Xu was undoubtedly a disciple of the Immortal Family.

Since Chen Xu entered Xianyang, everything he has done has established his unique identity and status, whether it is refining steel to improve horse harness and weapons, or the strategic restructuring of the court in three provinces and six ministries, plus currency reform, money villages, newspapers, movable type printing, porcelain, restaurants, piles and piles are all unprecedented novelties, which have changed the lives of countless people in just a few months, and even include the emperor himself. I will no longer feel angry and helpless about the trivial things above the court.

Therefore, Chen Xu must be appeased, once Chen Xu is dissatisfied and returns to Funiu Mountain to live in seclusion, everything the emperor expects will come to an abrupt end.

Qin Shi Huang pondered all the way, entered the harem and met the son Fusu who was taking his concubine and son to enjoy the flowers in the backyard, and saw Qin Shi Huang walking in with a face as low as water and an unhappy face, and immediately stopped playing, and the palace maids and attendants all knelt down to greet him.

Fusu hurriedly took his family forward to salute.

"Daughter-in-law to meet her father!" Fusu's concubine is also a beautiful woman in her prime, followed by a child of about six years old, with long eyebrows and clear eyes.

"Grandson meets grandpa!" The child was also very polite and respectful, but his face was full of mud, and he was lying on the ground with a few young palace people who were dressed in internal services just now and didn't know what he was playing.

"Why are you here?" Qin Shi Huang was depressed at this time, and his tone was a little stiff.

"Today's weather is fine, Erchen brought his children to accompany his mother to enjoy the flowers, and the mother went back to the palace to rest in advance because she was a little tired, and Erchen was also preparing to return to the palace!" Fusu hurriedly said.

"Well, you can keep having fun, I'm going to see your mother!" Qin Shi Huang nodded and prepared to leave.

"Why does Father look so sullen?" Fusu hesitated and asked.

Qin Shi Huang stroked his beard and groaned slightly, saying, "Do you know about the disturbances of living beings today? ”

"Erchen knows!" Fusu replied.

"Well, take me for a walk and tell me what you think!" Qin Shi Huang walked forward slowly with a wave of his sleeves, and Fusu did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly followed.

Soon the two of them came to a remote part of the garden, and there was no one else except for the Xuanwu guards who followed the guards around them.

"Erchen heard that in the early dynasty today, Zuo Xiang asked his father to burn the book, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, the news spread, and only then did hundreds of disciples gather in Xianyang Palace!" After Qin Shi Huang stood still, Fusu said softly.

"Well, since you are waiting here again, you must have something to say to me, what do you think about the book burning?" Qin Shi Huang asked with a calm face.

"Erchen thinks it can't, today's initial decision, the head of Qiantou in the distance has not been gathered, all living beings are reciting Confucius, and hundreds of disciples gather in Beijing to report to His Majesty, but the court is all restricted, and the book burning order is out, all lives will be chaotic, and the sons are afraid that the world will be uneasy, and I hope that my father and emperor will see it." After Fu Su said respectfully, he looked at Qin Shi Huang.
