was lobbied by Zhang Liang. Ji Wu fell into deep thought. After a while. He took a deep breath. Said: "Okay. But I can only come up with fifty dead men. Otherwise, our organization would not be able to function. Unable to raise funds. Even if you kill the tyrant. We don't have the money to recruit troops."

For this number of people. Zhang Liang was not particularly satisfied. But he was clear. Ji Wu can come up with such a dead man. for his use. It's already a big concession. So I nodded in confirmation.

"So. Tell me about your plans." Ji Wu's voice was calm. Take out your family background to plan an assassination operation for Zhang Liang. If he doesn't know it. He could never have been so generous.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly. Leaned closer to Ji Wu's ear. Carefully state the plan in your heart......

Ji Wu listened to Zhang Liang's plan. His brow gradually twisted into a twisted 'flower', but he couldn't help but nod. Obviously for Zhang Liang's plan. Ji Wu, who has a wealth of experience in organizing assassinations. This is also impeccable.

……

After washing your face with water. Chen Sheng felt that he was much more 'refreshed'. Then pounce on the desk again. Continue to flip through the reports from the imperial history of various places. These reports. It's mostly about the progress of his new policies everywhere. In order to be able to implement his policies at the grassroots level. Chen Sheng took great pains. Every day is more than eight hours.

And with the appointment of Chen Sheng to the imperial history of the Cheng Dynasty. The atmosphere in Xianyang also became tense. Xianyang is home to many of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. Among these people. There is no shortage of rebellions and restoration forces in various places that are inextricably linked.

Where the Blackwater Pavilion has collected conclusive evidence. Chen Sheng was ruthless. From the Imperial Mansion to the Emperor's list. There are dozens of them every day. More often. Or even hundreds. And the emperor just has to put a cross on these lists. There will be a large number of officers and soldiers in front of the 'gates' of these fallen princes of the six kingdoms. Waiting for theirs. It will be the most terrible fate.

In just two months' time. The execution ground on the banks of the Wei River executed more than 100 first-time offenders. At the same time, exiled and degraded people. There are nearly 10,000 people.

It's all there. All of them were 'operated' by Chen Sheng. So less than a month. Chen Sheng was secretly called "Bloody Zhongcheng", and many Confucian scholars even went directly to the chapter. Impeachment of Chen Sheng's brutality. But these pieces often fall into the hands of Feng Zai. It was dismissed. It is simply impossible to be seen by the emperor . As a matter of fact. If the emperor sees these recitals. It may not be Chen Sheng who will be punished. It's these Confucian scholars who are full of benevolence and morality. But in the Xianyang School Palace. Every day, the Confucian students gathered to discuss the crusade against Chen Sheng. But it's getting more and more.

Facing this situation. Chen Sheng was also very distressed. Anyone standing in this position. There is no doubt that it will be a boat on the cusp of the 'waves'. If you are not careful, you may be torn to pieces by the wind and waves. But Chen Sheng is not afraid of this. He is well aware. Those old and young people of the six countries of Shandong. and some important ministers in the court must have a certain interest relationship. When he punished these nobles of the Six Kingdoms. will inevitably offend these important ministers of the court. And the Xianyang Academy Palace is not to mention these Confucian doctors. Many people are still students of the Jixia School Palace back then. At the same time, there are more Confucian scholars. Natural contempt and condemnation of Chen Sheng's bloody practices.

So in order to establish a positive image of yourself. Chen Sheng didn't use his brains less. also asked Ling Suyun to come forward. Hired a large group of storytellers who can speak well. Conduct training. There is a "sexuality" aimed at promoting the righteous "sexuality" and necessary "sexuality" of what the Lord Cheng did in the imperial history.

Besides. Chen Sheng still felt that it was not enough. Emperor Shang. In order to strengthen the control in terms of ideology. The imperial court was supposed to publish something called a "newspaper".

The emperor had plans to adopt Chen Sheng's suggestion. But the Prime Minister's Office stepped in to stop it. For no other reason. Paper is currently only produced by the Ling family. The cost is extremely high. The imperial court simply could not have the financial resources to engage in such a 'fancy' and useless thing.

Chen Sheng flipped through the recital that was rejected by the Prime Minister's Mansion. I can't help but feel a big headache. Autumn rain outside the window. Like the veins of the 'spring' silkworm gnawing on the leaves. There was a rustling sound. It sounds very pleasant.

"Lis, this old horseman." Chen Sheng said a few words in his heart. Since Chen Sheng was appointed as the Imperial Historian. Li Si was inexplicably hostile to Chen Sheng. It's not so much hostile. It's better to be vigilant. Li Si never forgot the emperor's affirmation of Chen Sheng. Li Si has a sense of crisis. He is well aware. The emperor appreciates great talent. Often eclectic and entrusted with important tasks. And the current imperial court. The most valuable position. is his prime minister.

Back in the day. The emperor was amazed at the talent of his junior brother Han Fei. Li Si tried to kill his own junior brother. At that time, Li Si. It's just a secretary in front of the emperor. It's nowhere near as powerful as it is now. He has already done this to those who can threaten him; Chen Sheng and Li Si have no relatives and no reason. Li Si is looking for Chen Sheng's stubble. There is no psychological burden anymore.

After adding a few wicks to the oil lamp. The lights in the room were much brighter. Chen Sheng stretched his waist. Take out a blank piece of paper. Pick up the pen and write to the emperor again. This time, the recital. Chen Sheng didn't reason as repeatedly as before. Instead, a copy of the newspaper was attached directly to the back of the recital. In the contents of the book. Chen Sheng only said two things. The first is to ask the emperor to read the contents of the newspaper. The second is to list the cost of a newspaper. And then measure. After each issue of the newspaper is sold. How much profit can be made. Chen Sheng believes. This time. Neither the emperor nor Lis. It is impossible to dismiss his recitals again.

However, there was not much joy in Chen Sheng's heart. Because there are so many things I want to change. And the resistance is just too great. These two months have passed. Take advantage of your position. Chen Sheng sent a book to the emperor almost every day. It contains a large number of imperial court reforms. But most of them were dismissed and opposed. For example, colleges and schools are widely opened across the country. You can go to school regardless of whether you are high or low. It was opposed by most of the people in the imperial court. And what surprised Chen Sheng was. The most 'fierce' opposition was not made by the court officials. Not even the emperor himself. It's the group of scholars and doctors in the Xianyang Academy. For Chen Sheng, it is recommended to open a branch to take a scholar. These scholars and doctors are even more rantish. made Chen Sheng even more 'touching' his head.

Logically. If these Confucian doctors really have some brains. It should be clear. own behavior. In fact, it is to seek a way out for the people who read in the world. These people should have been the most supportive of him. But actually. Chen Sheng didn't 'touch' it clearly. The Confucian doctors in the Xianyang Academy. Most of them are from a family with a name 'door'. Even if the family background is not illustrious. But it is also after several generations of great Confucians or famous masters. The self-proclaimed extraordinary has been extraordinary for a long time.

For these people. Reading is only the power of a few. If Chen Sheng promotes reading to the world. Aren't they going to read the books of the sages with the mud legs? Isn't it an insult to the sages. more important insults to them; And the so-called imperial examination system is even more unfeasible. They are all contemporary scholars and Confucians. All of them have a great reputation. It is recommended by the imperial history of various places. Or the emperor came in for a good job. For them. The virtuous people who are elected in this way are the pillars of the country. Good officials of the imperial court. These Confucian scholars and doctors still don't get a half-official position. Can only be condescended to the emperor's cultural advisor. Those mud 'legs' who have been reading in the countryside for a few years. How can you rely on the so-called imperial examination. And he went into the house. They can't afford to put down their worth. Go to the imperial examination. So just block someone else's way.

Fortunately, under Chen Sheng's strong insistence. The imperial court also established the first academy of the empire: the Xianyang Army Academy. This is also Chen Sheng's helpless compromise. Since Confucianism was opposed to reforms among scholars. Then I'll find those Qiu Eight soldiers to train. You shouldn't squeak.

Chen Sheng's idea is very much in line with the emperor's meaning. That is, to concentrate middle and low-ranking officers. Or a soldier with potential . Entered the Army Academy for further study. Exercise the combat qualities of officers. and training junior officers. Hematopoiesis for the army.

This proposal was supported by many military bigwigs. For example, Wang Ben. Chen Sheng's suggestion was very welcome. But for the emperor. Accept this so-called Army Academy. That's not an easy thing to do. What the emperor feared most was that the high-ranking officers of the army were huddled together. The tail is too big to fall off. Training of such officers. It's actually a chance to give the officers who are scattered all over the place a chance to come together. Increased their familiarity. This is a great threat to the royal family.

So I hesitated for a long time. The emperor gave the reply. But a large number of checks and balances have been devised for this purpose. For example, the dean of the Army Academy. It is not selected from among the generals of the military. Instead, it was concurrently served by the imperial historian Feng Zai. But this program. But there was no objection in the court. The Imperial Doctor originally had the duty of supervising the hundred officials. Won the trust of the emperor. Among the civil and military officials. The most reassuring thing for the emperor is Feng Zheng.

Chen Sheng was also very happy. He is well aware. Once the Army Academy was established. The state of Qin entered an era of systematic cultivation of combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness and military quality of officers will be maintained at a relatively stable level.

Feng Zheng was also very satisfied with Chen Sheng's actions. As a matter of fact. He is well aware. This Army Academy. Once established. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military except for him Feng Zheng. There is simply no other suitable person to hold the official position of this envy of countless people. According to the relational theory of this age. All students of the Army Academy. will be his 'door' under the students. The army is full of peach and plums. What a powerful force it is. Such a location. How dare the emperor casually 'hand' over to any powerful minister. He is the only one who exercises the power of the imperial historian. The emperor will be a little more relieved.
