In mid-April, the Yueshi delegation finally returned to Xianyang after three months, and the procession of the First Emperor also stopped along the flat Oriental Road to inspect and tour the mountains and rivers all the way to Dongjun.

Although the Dongfang Road was laid along the south of the river, part of the old Dongfang Road was actually north of the river, and Puyang, the county seat of Dongjun, was also on the other side of the river.

Puyang is named after Pushui, one of the five emperors took Puyang as the capital to build a state, and was finally buried in Puyang, so it was called Emperor Hill in ancient times, and it is also the junction of the Huaxia Group headed by the Yellow Emperor and the Dongyi Group headed by Shao Hao, Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor here and then buried near Puyang, in terms of geographical location, Puyang has been regarded as the border of the Central Plains.

There are many places of interest and historic sites in Puyang, the first emperor in order to highlight the virtue, arranged for the officials of the eastern county to convene the people to rebuild the tomb of Zhuan Xuan and add the temple, and at the same time to the ancient city of Changyi to worship the originator of the word Cangjie, to Kunwu to worship the hill of Emperor Yao, and Chen Xu is also happy to be free, follow the emperor all the way to eat, drink and have fun, and finally it is the first time to travel through these places of interest and historic sites in China at close range.

In Daqin, the monuments, that is definitely the real monuments, and the later generations to see the places of interest and monuments are different, the ancient simply can't see the face, the tomb of the Zhuan Xuan is a wasteland, the grave can not see one, just in the barren mountains and mountains stand a big stone, which is carved with many hieroglyphs that I don't know at all, Chen Xu said that he doesn't know any of them, and a group of doctors and doctors who accompanied him are excited to study endlessly.

The tomb of Cangjie is a pile of stone slabs, on which there are some sacrificial texts carved by famous people of various eras, but it looks more lively than the tomb of Zhuan, after all, the text has created the inheritance of civilization, and the literati of all generations are still more reverent.

As for the tomb of Emperor Yao, it is much more luxurious, there is a tomb mound in the barren mountains and mountains, there is a stone tablet and a dragon-shaped stone beast to guard, but it has long been buried in the barren grass and thorns, the first emperor came to worship, the local officials and celebrity squires gathered people to clean up the barren grass and thorns, put the case desk incense burner, and placed the three animal sacrifices.

The next emperor went to several county towns that had suffered from floods the year before last to inspect again, and then crossed the river to the south and returned to Mount Tai to worship again.

Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world.

Mount Tai is located in Lu land, as the hometown of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, Lu has gathered a large number of Confucian disciples, there are Confucian dojos and colleges everywhere, the learning atmosphere is very strong, the people who see are Confucian students with wide sleeves and robes, Confucius VIII Sun Kui Jia will live in seclusion here to order the Confucian disciples of the world, Mount Tai has also become the holy place in the minds of Confucian disciples.

Three years ago, the first emperor first toured the southeast of Mount Tai, encountered the humiliation of the Confucian disciples, so this time the emperor did not have these Confucian ruffians at all, directly arranged for the army to be at the foot of Mount Tai Feng Zen platform around the water, and then worship the heavens and gods, carved the stone tablet, and again completed the second Zen ceremony very domineering, a group of Confucian disciples gathered outside the line to jump feet and insult, but the emperor turned a deaf ear, after the sacrifice was completed, he led the civil and military officials to start climbing the mountain.

Taishan Chen Xu has not climbed before crossing, and even Wuyue has not climbed, mainly because he usually has no time, and when he has time, he is not willing to join in the excitement of the crowded posture of various scenic spots, and honestly rides a battery car wearing a yellow vest to deliver fast food in the streets and alleys, and is a magical takeaway brother.

Climb to the top of the mountain, the surrounding mountains and the land of Qilu are unobstructed, the mountains and rivers are beautiful all over the place, and suddenly there is a kind of openness and comfort in the chest that the blocks are completely eliminated and swallow the vast world.

"Such beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains, see the heart is open-minded and comfortable, otherwise extremely Tailai, Taishan is worthy of being the first strange mountain in China, worthy of the head of the five mountains, the emperors of all dynasties have come to Mount Tai to worship the gods, although I follow it, but in the end the world is not satisfied, why also?"

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the vast land around him, although Qin Shi Huang was in a good mood, he still felt resentful when he remembered the scolding of a group of Confucian scholars at the foot of the mountain and what happened three years ago, and he did not pay attention to it at all as he appeared.

"Your Majesty, these Confucian scholars have always been like this, Shang Guli, good teachings, all those who do not conform to their ideas are wantonly attacking and insulting, disrespecting the majesty of the emperor, it is really disrespectful, the minister suggested that these Confucian scholars should be all defaced as prisoners, and be assigned to the border wasteland to cultivate grain......" Li Si stood next to him and began to pry the emperor again.

Meng Yi's face was calm, and he looked around at the scenery, as if he didn't hear Li Si's words.

Wang Ben didn't care at all, he was a military general, and he was not interested in these Confucian scholars who liked to preach all day long.

Hu Hai stood next to Li Si and said with reverence on his face: "Father, Li Xiang is reasonable, these Confucian scholars are indeed unsightly, and a little punishment can make them more restrained." ”

Qin Shi Huang glanced at his youngest son slightly, but did not speak.

Chen Xu couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty is the Emperor of Great Qin, the Lord of China, all the people are Your Majesty's people, although Confucianism is disrespectful, but there is no radical action, how can it be punished at will, Confucianism advocates benevolence, morality, etiquette and righteousness also has the merit of educating the people, it is easy to punish, but it is difficult to collect the hearts of the people in the world, and the prince must not mislead Your Majesty!" ”

"Have you heard?" Qin Shi Huang snorted slightly.

"What Qinghe Hou said is that Hu Hai is taught!" Hu Hai didn't dare to look at his father, let alone refute Chen Xu's words, his face shrank palely, and Li Si's face trembled.

"Your Majesty, although Confucianism is arrogant, but he is talented in his name, and the ministers are not to correct the name of Confucianism, but to hope that Your Majesty will not be angry because of this, and the king should be like this Mount Tai, with the amount of the sky and the world!" An accompanying doctor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can see Confucian stone carvings everywhere on this Mount Tai, and there has never been a word that is a disaster for the community, please also ask Your Majesty to be aware of it!" Another doctor also bowed in and agreed.

If it were in normal times, Li Si would definitely not refute these doctors immediately, but this time it was different, with Qinghe Hou by his side, these people were much bolder.

What's more, after the eternal gamble of the Oriental Road, Li Si lost and retreated, and now the Oriental Road runs through the east and the west, so that their trip is extremely smooth, and the mood is naturally very happy.

This time out is completely different from accompanying the emperor on a tour before, almost all the people come to meet the emperor enthusiastically everywhere, and there are countless congratulatory chapters and books sent by celebrities along the way, many of which are sent back to the Xianyang Newspaper and published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, and many words praising the emperor are simply a little goosebumps.

Therefore, the emperor was also in a very happy mood all the way, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile almost every day.

The emperor was in a good mood, and everyone naturally followed suit.

Hearing the words of several doctors and doctors, Qin Shi Huang turned around and looked at some stone tablets and cliff carvings on the top of the mountain, among which there was a stone cliff engraved with the "Qiu Ling Song" left by Confucius when he climbed Mount Tai.

"Ascend to the Qiu Mausoleum, and climb the mountain. Benevolence is far away, and it is far away. Then he lost his mind and fell into his own pocket. Looking back, the title is Mount Tai. Yu is sure that it is high, and Liang Fu is back. Citrus thorns fill the road, and there is no chance for it. There will be no cutdown, and the disease will spread. But with eternal sighs, tears fall and murmur. ”

Although the handwriting of the vigorous and powerful ancient seal has been somewhat blurred, the whole poem can still be clearly recognized.

"I have no ill will towards Confucianism, but these people are stupid and ignorant of current affairs, only Confucianism is the most rude among the disciples of the hundred schools, but I will not take it to heart, they are short-sighted in the Central Plains, how can I know my ambitions, Mount Tai is the head of the five mountains, how can I only leave the words of Confucianism, pass on my edicts, gather craftsmen to start digging stone cliffs from the mountainside, I want to record the essence of the hundred schools of thought, and pass on the future generations so that everyone in the world knows my mind......"

The emperor was not happy, and he was going to start a big construction, and this time the project made everyone stunned, the emperor actually wanted to engrave the hundred schools of thought he hated on Mount Tai to show his virtues in mind.

"Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter, the words of a hundred schools of thought are vast, and many theories are biased and not good words!" Li Si said with a twitch of cheeks.

"Li Xiang doesn't need to persuade me, pass on my edict to the local officials to implement it as soon as possible, and next time I will tour the southeast again, I hope to see the words of a hundred schools, Mount Tai, and I can't let the Confucian students in Ludi take advantage of it!" Qin Shi Huang stood on the top of the mountain with his hands in his hands, and the mountain wind blew his clothes and hunted with the wind, and the momentum was unparalleled.

Chen Xu was hey in his heart, and the other officials accompanying him all looked slightly moved.

Since Li Si's bet on the Eastern Road failed, it seems that the emperor has gradually become estranged from him, although he is still in a high position, but the emperor is not as obedient to his words as before.

Moreover, what Fang Cai's remarks about Confucianism are quite intriguing, saying that Confucianism is confined to the Central Plains and is short-sighted and does not know what the emperor's mind means?

"Well, since there are hundreds of schools of thought, the young master calls himself a scientific school, and naturally he must leave a word to pass on through the ages, the young master is not only a master of making food, he has the name of Daqin eating physiognomy, but also everyone who is a poet and a song, the opera arranged is wonderful, and the songs performed are also sung all over the world, here and now, why not improvise a poem to let me and you Aiqing see the young master's literary brilliance?" The First Emperor turned his head and looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face.

Chen Xu: ......

Along the way, I was asked to make all kinds of food, and even asked me to write poems, which ...... This...... It's just too easy.

However, you still have to be modest before pretending, after all, modesty is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation!

Chen Xu respectfully pretended to smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, why should it be difficult to be a minister, hundreds of schools of thought have been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is okay for ministers to make food and sing, but poetry is indeed not a minister's forte, and I am afraid that future generations will laugh at it!" ”

"Hey, it's okay, how can the young master be vain, Qinghe Garden and the academy many couplets are from the mouth of Aiqing, now it has been spread all over the world, the voice of praise is endless, I heard that there are hundreds of famous people come all the way to Xianyang, just want to see a few couplets of the academy and Qinghe Garden, many princes and princes in Xianyang have also copied a few couplets and mounted them for decoration, I will also hang the couplets of the purple gas Donglai Pavilion in the study to watch every day, the young master should not use modesty, today many Aiqing and I listen to the young master's famous words through the ages!"
