Chapter 147: Blame
After being known by Meng Yi, Yaotong also knew that she couldn't hide, so she pushed open the door and walked in, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't feel the embarrassment of being discovered.
Yaotong said naturally: "I happened to pass by and heard someone's voice, so I listened to it for a while because I was curious. ”
"It's a coincidence that Miss Yaotong's boudoir is in the opposite position." Meng Yi said deliberately.
This woman always gives people a sense of incomprehension, and Meng Yi also learned her origin from Fusu.
But who is Meng Yi, he is a man of two worlds, and the woman who even he can't see through is either a fool or is too deeply hidden.
Obviously, Yaotong is not a fool, so there is only one last possibility.
Therefore, Meng Yi has always had a grudge against this woman and never really believed in her.
Looking at her, Meng Yi had a flash of inspiration, and then said with a smile: "Since Miss Yaotong is here, you might as well pay attention, I just received a secret letter from Xianyang, Your Majesty killed more than 400 Confucian students not long ago, as smart as you, but there is room for redemption?" ”
"What! Pit and kill Confucian students?! How could Your Majesty do such a ridiculous thing? Yaotong said in surprise.
And while she was talking, Meng Yi kept looking at her, in our current knowledge called psychology, and in psychology there is something called micro-expressions.
People are lying, but subconscious micro-expressions can truly reflect a person's authenticity.
"You don't know?"
"Hehe, what did you say, you just said that it was a secret letter, I think the news has not spread yet, how will I know?" Yaotong said.
"That's right, so what do you think is a good way to get it back?" Meng Yi asked again.
"I'm a weak woman, where do I know how to do political affairs."
Meng Yi said aggressively: "You are not a weak woman, you are the "sir" respected by everyone in Songhai, if you are a weak woman, I am afraid that other men will not live." ”
Seeing that Meng Yi was menacing, Fusu seemed to be intent on targeting Yaotong, so he immediately stood up and said, "Xiaoyi, don't be embarrassed for Yaotong, how can she have a way." ”
Seeing Fusu standing up to speak for her, Meng Yi also stopped asking and said, "Miss Yaotong is really a blessing, since Fusu Gongzi speaks for you, then it is not difficult for me to be for you." ”
The implication of this is that since there is no way to please leave, how could Yaotong not hear the sound outside the strings?
"Haha, then don't bother the two of you, I'll take my leave first." Yaotong said.
Fusu and the others were discussing important matters, and they didn't keep her, and after Yaotong left the room, her indifferent expression suddenly turned cold.
In the room, Meng Yi also said: "Childe, you stay away from her in the future, this woman is not simple, don't hurt you but don't know it." ”
"Alas~! Impossible, Yaotong won't harm us, have you forgotten that her life was saved by her, and your memory was also restored by her. ”
"For this kindness, I am naturally grateful, but one yard is one yard, but she still has to guard against it, the person who attacked us at the beginning was not just a ghost with the help of an internal ghost, and now we can't repeat the mistakes of the past." Meng Yi said.
"That's right, I'll pay attention." Fusu responded, "You haven't said what solution you've come up with?" ”
"At present, the news of the killing of Confucian scholars has not spread, so this is our last chance, and the most feasible way to save some of the situation is to create public opinion." Meng Yi said.
"Create public opinion?!"
Fusu was curious about the term, but it should sound good.
Modern people understand this kind of thing of creating public opinion, which is like the usual means in the entertainment industry now, by creating gossip news, buying hot searches, etc., in order to achieve the effect of propaganda and momentum.
After Meng Yi's simple explanation, Fusu asked again: "Then how to create public opinion?" ”
"It's easy, too."
Meng Yichengzhu asked in his chest: "Dare to ask Gongzi, who is the hottest at the moment?" ”
"Uh......"
Fu Su thought for a moment and then said, "Today, countless people know that their father wants to obtain the elixir of life, and the hottest person is, of course, the warlock. ”
In today's empire, warlocks have learned that the emperor wants immortality, and a bunch of true and false warlocks have emerged.
Under the pretext of being able to refine the elixir of life, they carry out the act of deception.
As a materialist young man in the new era, Meng Yi does not believe in those legends of immortality, to put it bluntly, those so-called warlocks are just liars.
In this case, Meng Yi can take advantage of this to play, he said: "Yes, now that warlocks are rampant and commit acts of abduction and deception, then it can be claimed to the outside world that the Confucian students who were killed in the pit were actually faked by warlocks, and their purpose was to frame Confucianism. ”
Confucianism reveres the two saints of Confucius and Mencius, and sneers at the theory of ghosts and gods. Those who are even more disdainful of the warlocks.
And the warlock also has a grudge against the Confucian scholars, so there is a conflict between the Confucian and the warlock, and if it is said that the warlock deliberately framed the Confucian students, it is also in the past.
"Is that really going to work?" Fusu said half-incredulously.
It's a good idea, but does anyone really believe it? I'm afraid it won't have the desired effect.
But Meng Yi told the truth: "No matter how perfect a lie we compile, it is a lie after all, and it is impossible for everyone to believe it." ”
In that case, why should we care if everyone believes it? Those who believe will believe it, and those who don't believe it will not believe it even if you say that it is heavenly. ”
If you think about it, it does make sense, no matter what you say, it can't be satisfactory to everyone, it's hard to reconcile, you just need to make the people you like believe it.
"That's what I said, then write a letter to Prime Minister Feng immediately, and ask him to do what you say immediately." Fusu said.
Meng Yi didn't dare to slack off, and quickly explained the reason clearly, and quickly shifted the responsibility to the deceitful warlock while the matter was still known to everyone in the world.

Xianyang, Fengfu.
Before the news spread in a large area, a letter from Songhai came, and Feng Zai hurriedly passed the letter to Feng Quji, saying, "Father, Meng Yi has sent news. ”
Feng Qujian came to the study, and after opening the letter, he saw Meng Yi write the method on the letter.
After Feng Qujian finished reading it, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and Feng Zheng asked, "Father, what are you laughing at?" But the solution is given in the letter? ”
Feng Quji nodded with satisfaction, and said with relief: "Yes, this Meng Yi is really a genius, Daqin has such a young man, it is really a blessing of the empire." ”
Feng Zheng was puzzled, this was an unsolvable thing, how could there be a way?!
Feng Qujian gave the letter to Feng Zai, and after he read it, he suddenly woke up, and the letter detailed the method, and the matter needed to be vigorously publicized by the prime minister.
After Feng Zheng understood, Feng Qujian stroked his beard lightly and said, "Zao'er, Meng Yi has too much to learn from you. ”
"What my father said is that although Meng Yi is younger than a child, he is not as good as when it comes to intelligence." Feng Zheng said.
"The world says that he is a loser, and he has completely ruined the Meng family's property, but is this really the case? Today's General's Mansion is so prosperous, and it is not much more than the Imperial City. Feng Qujian said.
Since Meng Yi transferred the technology of coarse salt purification, he has made a lot of money by collecting patent fees.
Nowadays, for every kilogram of salt sold by the major salt stores, they must pay a fee of 10% to the Meng family, which seems to be a small royalty, but if all the salt stores in the empire are assembled, it is definitely a huge amount.
The monthly turnover account entering the Mongolian Mansion costs 100,000 taels, and the national tax of the Qin State is only a few million taels a year.
Even the First Emperor often expressed his envy of the Meng family in front of his ministers, all of which benefited from Meng Yi's patent fees, although this kid was not in Xianyang, but now the Meng family can be described as a rich country.
"In short, just do what Meng Yi said, those deceitful warlocks, I have long wanted to impeach them, and now for the sake of the Great Qin Empire, let them sacrifice their lives for the country." Feng Qujian said.
Warlocks deceive people, and Feng Quji has also advised the emperor more than once not to indulge in alchemy and seeking immortals.
But every time the admonition was refuted by the First Emperor, and now Meng Yi's thoughts undoubtedly coincide with his thoughts, so Feng Quji praised Meng Yi as a genius.
"Zai'er, you will talk to other ministers about your father's words, in case Zhao Gaoli Si and them get in the way."
Feng Zheng left after giving the order.
……
Following.
The atmosphere at the court meeting was particularly strange, to be precise, since the book burning incident occurred, the court that discussed politics changed overnight.
Many ministers were sincerely afraid and did not dare to say more, for fear that they would be killed, and the picture of the ministers' direct advice in the past would also disappear with the flowing water.
The First Emperor glanced at the ministers and said, "Zhuqing has something to do, so let's retreat from the court if you have nothing to do." ”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Feng Quji stood up and said, "The minister has something important to do. ”
Seeing Feng Quji stand up, Li Si Zhao and others all looked pale, this old guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, every time there is something important to play, it is definitely not a good thing, at least not for them.
"Say!!"
"After the minister's efforts over the past few days, the investigation has revealed one thing, which can be described as extremely scary." Feng Qujian said.
Seeing Feng Quji's solemn expression, the First Emperor couldn't help but be puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?!" ”
"This matter is the more than 460 Confucian students ordered by His Majesty to be killed some time ago." Feng Qujian said.
Burning books and pit Confucianism is a taboo in the imperial court, no one dares to mention this matter, but I didn't expect Feng Quji to mention it again, which caused others to break out in a cold sweat.
Sure enough, the face of the First Emperor also became ugly, and after he calmed down about the book burning and Confucianism, he also felt regretful, but the wood had become an irreversible fact, and it was impossible to start over.
"What's the difference between those Confucian scholars?"
"After the investigation of the ministers, they are not Confucian scholars at all, but someone is pretending to be Confucian students."
"What! Counterfeit?! ”
After hearing this, Yingzheng was furious.
