Chapter 148: Strategize and win a thousand miles
Warlocks pretend to be Confucian scholars!
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar, and on the hall that was originally strange and silent, the voices of countless courtiers suddenly sounded.
If there is such a thing, it is not a trivial matter, the warlock pretended to be a Confucian student, intending to blame Confucianism, once it is proved that there is such a thing, it is not a small crime.
"Feng Quji! Come on, what the hell is going on? The First Emperor scolded.
On that day, His Majesty ordered the killing of more than 400 Confucian scholars, and the minister faintly sensed that something was wrong, so he sent a clumsy man to investigate the matter, and sure enough, an old woman was found in a village fifty miles east of Xianyang. According to the old woman's testimony, one of the people killed was one she knew, and this person was not a Confucian scholar, but a warlock addicted to alchemy. ”
What Feng Quji said was according to what Meng Yi said, almost word for word, since he wanted to forge evidence, the more detailed the better, so that the enemy could not be right.
If His Majesty asked where the old woman was, Feng Quji would say that she was dead, so that someone had deliberately killed people to hide their ulterior motives.
"Where is the old woman?" The First Emperor asked.
As Meng Yi said in the letter, His Majesty will definitely ask where the old woman is, and at this moment, I only heard Feng Quji say: "Your Majesty, it is also grotesque, the minister wanted to bring the old woman to the court, but the night before yesterday, the old woman died violently at home. ”
"Violent death at home?"
The First Emperor said with a little doubt, why did he die violently at this time? Could it be that someone wants to kill someone.
Seeing His Majesty's solemn expression, just as Meng Yi expected, Feng Quji continued: "The minister also feels strange, a good woman, she will die if she says she will die, but she suddenly died on the way to Xianyang. ”
"In my opinion, I'm afraid that someone doesn't want the old woman to see me." The First Emperor said.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, I am afraid that there are gangsters behind the scenes, who want to kill people and kill people, in an attempt to cover up the unknown truth."
When Feng Qujian spoke, he deliberately looked at Li Si and them.
The First Emperor is not a fool, his move is naturally in his eyes, at this moment, I only heard the First Emperor suddenly ask: "Li Si, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Among the ministers, the First Emperor asked in a cold tone, where is this inquiry, it is simply an order, Li Si was terrified, he never thought that Feng Quji's old thing was so cunning and treacherous.
"The minister thinks that Feng Xiang's words should not be believed."
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"Fang Cai Feng Xiang concluded that the warlock pretended to be a Confucian student, which was the words of his family, and now he said that the old woman was killed, it was all his family's words, who can prove it?" Lees retorted.
"Putting these aside and not saying, if what Feng Xiang said about the old woman is true, then just because one person is a warlock and pretends to be a Confucian student, it is too biased to assert that everyone is a warlock, and it is not enough to prove it."
I have to say that Li Si's eloquence is still very good, he can always find a phone and say all the possibilities, so as to achieve the purpose of attacking the opponent.
Fortunately, Meng Yi also explained in his heart that Meng Yi expected that Yingzheng would ask Li Si, and Li Si would definitely stand up and refute. Feng Quji couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this Meng Yi was really a god, he was thousands of miles away, but he could predict what happened in the court, it could really be regarded as 'strategizing, winning thousands of miles away'.
"Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is possible, but Your Majesty should know that Confucian scholars have their own pride, they learn from Confucianism, and they respect Confucius and Mencius, and they sneer at those alchemy techniques, if he is a Confucian student, he cannot be a warlock, this is only known to everyone in the government and the opposition." Feng Quji retorted according to Meng Yi's words.
This truth is like one minister does not matter to the other, Confucianism advocates the way of Confucius and Mencius, and disdains those bizarre and grotesque facts, how can he be a warlock.
The First Emperor said that he thought so, and Feng Quji pointed directly at Li Si and said, "Of course, Prime Minister Li Cheng can be regarded as an accident. ”
The government and the opposition know that Li Si inherited Master Xun and was actually a Confucian student, but he changed his court and became a Legalist, using a saying in the Jianghu sect, he is a traitor to the sect.
Li Si only felt that Feng Quji's words were sharp today, which was very different from his style, he frowned slightly, and was sarcastic by Feng Quji in public, and he could only blush and be speechless.
Zhao Gao and Li Si glanced at each other, the meaning in their hearts was self-evident, today's Feng Qujian is different from the past, he must have received guidance from a master, but who is this master? !
"Your Majesty, the old minister still has evidence to prove that the warlock is pretended by Confucian." Feng Qujian said.
"What evidence?"
After a while, Feng Qujian brought up a plain dress, and Li Si said: "Feng Xiang, what can a piece of clothing prove?" ”
"Hmph, clothes don't really prove anything."
As he spoke, Feng Qujian handed the clothes to the First Emperor, and Ying Zheng looked at it for a long time without knocking out everything, and said, "What kind of entrance did you buy, don't tell me quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, please smell the clothes." Feng Qujian said.
The First Emperor did not hesitate, probed the tip of his nose and sniffed his clothes, and exclaimed, "Yes...... The taste of saltpeter. ”
In order to obtain the elixir of immortals, the first emperor ordered the warlock to refine, and he was very familiar with things like saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, which were all necessary for alchemy.
Of course, modern people know that eating saltpeter and sulfur is not said to be a hundred years old, but I am afraid that it will not take long to die.
"If they were not warlocks, how could they smell of saltpeter on their clothes?" Feng Qujian said.
One link after another, Feng Quji anticipated all possible possibilities according to Meng Yi's approach, so as to prevent Li Si and them from finding flaws in them.
Until this moment, Feng Quji really admired Meng Yi, this son was simply a god.
And there was one thing that Meng Yi may not have expected, but it was this incident that confirmed the fact that Confucian scholars were warlocks, thus helping Feng Quji.
At this moment, news came from outside the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, Lu Sheng has escaped with money." ”
Lu Sheng was a warlock invited by the First Emperor, and he was also the immortal catalogue he presented before, for this, the First Emperor appreciated him a lot and ordered him to make alchemy in the palace.
It's only been a long time, and this Lu Sheng is running away, which is not the same as helping Feng to get sick.
"Ran away?"
Ying Zheng was furious when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, it must be Lu Sheng who deliberately ran away when he learned that the news was exposed." Feng Qujian took the opportunity to say.
Li Si and the others originally had what they said, but now Lu Sheng's escape is undoubtedly the fact that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, which just confirms Feng Quji's statement.
But any normal person would have such thoughts, and the First Emperor was no exception, if it wasn't for Feng Quji who discovered the truth, then how could Lu Sheng escape?
He is a warlock, and the warlocks who pretend to be Confucian must have nothing to do with them, if they track him down, they will definitely find him, rather than this, it is better to escape.
"Come on, order the local government to make every effort to arrest Lu Sheng, arrest the meritorious, and eat thousands of households." The First Emperor said.
Ying Zheng only felt that he had been deceived, and at this moment, he was particularly angry, as the king of a country, he was deceived by the little warlocks?
If it spreads, where will your own face remain, and where will the face of the empire survive?
"Your Majesty, Lu Sheng's henchmen are by no means alone, all the warlocks should be arrested and tortured, and Lu Sheng's whereabouts will definitely be asked." Feng Qujian took the opportunity to say.
The warlocks around the First Emperor are all Zhao Gao's eyeliners, if they are all arrested, then it will be difficult to monitor Yingzheng's every move.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Feng Xiang's words, looking for immortals, refining the elixir is the avenue, if you arrest all the warlocks, what should your path to immortality be?" Li Si stood up and said.
Feng Quji immediately replied: "Li Xiang's words are wrong, if even Lu Sheng runs away, he is the most famous warlock, even he can't refine it, can those little minions be able to refine it?" ”
"Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, how dare Feng Xiang say that he can't refine it?"
"Okay, since Li Xiang is so sure, then do you dare to vouch for them?" Feng asked rhetorically.
"Guarantee what?"
"If they can't refine the elixir of immortality, Li Xiang will come to see him, do you dare to guarantee it?"
"I ......"
Liston was dumbfounded, he was a man of the future, he knew that there was no elixir in this world, it was a lie at all, if he was to vouch for it, unless he didn't live.
In the letter, Meng Yi ate Li Si to death, and Feng Quji basically followed his train of thought, which really made Li Si speechless.
Seeing that Li Si didn't dare to vouch, the First Emperor was even more angry, he gave an order, and said: "Arrest all the warlocks in the city and torture them, I don't believe it, can the little warlock run to the ends of the earth?" ”
"Whoa."
After receiving the order, the court lieutenant immediately carried out the emperor's order.
"Today's events, if someone dares to spread the rumors, I will not be able to spare you."
"Whoa."
……
Although the first emperor ordered that it should not be spread outside, the news still spread, and there is no impermeable wall in the world among the people.
Soon there was a storm, and someone said: "It turns out that those Confucian students who were killed by the pit were not Confucian students at all, but warlocks pretending to be them." ”
"Warlock in disguise? Why are they doing it? ”
"I heard that they seemed to be rebelling."
"Really? Is it any wonder that His Majesty wants to kill them? We thought His Majesty was a tyrant, but it seems that we misunderstood. ”
……
For a time, the people were talking, of course, thanks to Feng Quji's rumors and portraying the warlocks as heinous sinners, thus saving the emperor from killing the Confucian scholars.
Zhao Mansion.
Li Si was in the dark pavilion, and he was discussing the secret matter with Zhao Gao, only to hear Zhao Gao say: "Feng Quji, this old thing, is always a scourge to keep. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Kill!!"
