Cao Yi didn't recognize it at first sight, and when he saw the burnt hair on the foreheads of the two people, he remembered that the two were the Fang Shi in the alchemy explosion last night.

"What's your name?"

"Uber"

"Dongmen Qing"

One fat and one thin, the two alchemists replied separately.

It seemed that the wound was involved, and after speaking, Dongmenqing, who was thin like a monkey, gasped.

Cao Yi glanced at the monks on the ground and continued to ask, "Why did this group of people beat you two?" ”

Dongmen Qing smiled bitterly: "They learned that His Majesty was coming last night, and afterwards, the soldiers surrounded the Fang Shi battalion and did not allow anyone to go out, thinking that His Majesty was angry with them because of a few of us." ”

Cao Yi, who had figured it out, said to the monks on the ground: "Your Majesty has handed you over to the poor road, and you will no longer have to worry about your life." ”

Many of the alchemists looked skeptical.

Cao Yi looked at Dongmen Qing again: "How many of you are there?" ”

Dongmen Qing thought for a while and said, "More than 460 people"

What a coincidence! It's about the same as the number of people buried alive in the book-burning pit.

Cao Yi thought of a public case and asked, "Are there any Confucian students among you?" ”

Dongmen Qing was stunned for a moment, and said in a slightly disdainful tone: "We are in the same water as the Confucianism in the land of Qilu, how can we be with them." ”

Burning books and pit Confucianism really has nothing to do with Confucianism!

"And where are you all from?"

Cao Yi was curious about the origin of these people.

This question seems to be a little difficult, Dongmen Qing thought for a long time before saying: "There are a lot, there are Yin and Yang families, Huang Lao, famous families, miscellaneous families, novelists, vertical and horizontal families, and doctors...... I can't remember the others, no less than twenty. ”

Cao Yi didn't expect that the ingredients of Fang Shi were so complex, even novelists had them.

"There are still many rangers, who used to be attached to the disciples of the six kings and princes......"

Dongmenqing added a few more words.

Cao Yi didn't know what to say anymore.

Dongmenqing asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you need me to do?" ”

Cao Yi pondered for a while and said, "Poor Dao wants to pick twelve people from you to do things. ”

Dongmenqing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask again: "What are you doing?" ”

It is too cumbersome to say that he participated in the establishment of the religion, and it is too troublesome to explain.

Cao Yi simply said: "Spread some knowledge"

Dongmen Qing looked Cao Yi up and down, and said in disbelief: "Mr. is so young, he wants to follow the example of the sages and start a sect?" ”

Cao Yi had a smile on his face: "Step by step"

Dongmen Qing's mouth opened.

"You tell them the news, and if you want to, you can submit the letter to the largest military account."

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Mister"

Dongmenqing suddenly shouted.

Cao Yi, who hadn't gone far, stopped and looked back at Dongmenqing: "What's the matter?" ”

Dongmenqing asked loudly: "I heard from a familiar soldier that there was a soldier who killed Xu Fu, who had become a bloodthirsty demon, in an instant, and another person accompanied His Majesty to complete the ceremony on the top of Mount Tai, but sir?" ”

Cao Yi nodded.

Dongmen Qing immediately said excitedly: "I am willing to do things for Mr."

Yu Bo, who had never had a chance to speak, also said loudly: "I am willing to do it below"

At the same time, the monks lying on the ground got up one after another, saying that they were also willing.

"First Submission"

Cao Yi smiled and dropped a sentence and left.

A group of monks ran back to the military tents one by one with joy.

Draw more alchemists and come out of the tent to check.

Cao Yi was gone.

Next, for ten days in a row, Cao Yi's military tent had Fangshi in and out.

Bamboo slips, linen cloth, and silk books were piled up into a hill.

Cao Yi looked at them one by one, called them one by one to ask, and finally selected twelve people from them.

Dongmen Qing and Uber were both selected, the reason is that the two were born in a yin and yang family, close to Taoism ideologically, and love alchemy.

The other ten people, their identities are complicated, there are swordsmen, there are former Xinling Jun's disciples, there are miscellaneous families, there are Yin and Yang families, there are Huang Lao, and there are Zongheng families......

Among those who were not selected, it was even more complicated, and there was even one person who claimed to be Long Yangjun's doorman.

At noon today, Cao Yi was in front of the military tent, teaching the "Taishang Induction Chapter" to the twelve disciples.

Li Si, who looked tired, walked over.

Cao Yi raised his head and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, how can you be idle here in the poor road today?" ”

The twelve disciples stood up and saluted.

Li Si waved his hand and said, "In order to ensure that General Zhang Han goes to sea smoothly in three months, the old man has not closed his eyes for two days. ”

Cao Yi gave Li Si a healing charm.

After Li Si used it, he was in good spirits, and after thanking him again and again, he said: "Fortunately, over the years, Lu Sheng and Xu Fu have frequently gone to sea to seek immortals, and the boats are getting newer day by day, otherwise when they attacked Chu State in the past few years and chased and killed the remnants of Yan State and Qi State at sea, the old man was tired and broken, and there was no way." ”

Cao Yi didn't know much about the shipbuilding level of this abnormal historical world, and when he saw that Li Si didn't raise any objections before, he thought that he could barely go to sea, but now he heard what Li Si said and the real historical situation is not much different, and frowned: "If it really doesn't work, I will persuade Your Majesty again." ”

Li Siwei was embarrassed: "Your Majesty has always been arbitrary, and it is not easy to get Your Majesty to change his mind. ”

Cao Yi thought for a while and said, "At least it can be extended for a while." ”

Li Si immediately bowed his hand and said: "Si for thousands of soldiers thank the aisleman." ”

"The Prime Minister's Words Are Serious"

Cao Yi returned the gift.

Li Si said some more gossip and left.

Cao Yi sat down and talked about a paragraph of "Taishang Induction Chapter", and suddenly came back to his senses, and he was tricked by the treacherous and cunning Li Si.

The purpose of this old politician is to make himself stand out and help him buffer time.

In the afternoon, Cao Yi went to see Yingzheng and met Li Si who was in a hurry halfway through.

"Prime Minister, what happened?"

I have never seen Cao Yi like Li Si, and I am a little puzzled.

Li Si sneered: "The Confucian scholars of Ludi gathered to criticize Your Majesty and slandered the Great Ceremony of Sealing Zen, which made Your Majesty angry. ”

Hearing Li Si's words, Cao Yi only had one sentence in his mind - if he didn't die, he wouldn't die.

Li Si smiled and said, "Dao Chief, do you want to know how they criticize you?" ”

"How do you get to the poor road?"

Cao Yi felt that he didn't provoke anyone.

Li Si said: "They said that you bewitched Your Majesty, established Taoism in vain, and were a demon who disturbed the country." ”

This time, Cao Yi was not tricked by Li Si again, and laughed instead of being angry: "When they say the words of the prime minister, it's even more ugly!" ”

Li Si snorted and said, "Of the various factions of Confucianism, Lu Ru is the most evil. ”

Cao Yi said: "It still depends on what Your Majesty does."

Li Si snorted.

Since he had already walked a long way before, he was not far from the military tent where Ying Zheng was, and it didn't take long for him to get close.

Ying Zheng's cold self-muttering came from inside: "In history, they said that I killed them, and I fulfilled them." ”

Li Si showed a blank expression, why couldn't he understand what His Majesty said.

A little chamberlain came out and whispered, "Your Majesty, please go in, the prime minister."

Cao Yi saw Li Si in a daze, and shouted: "Prime Minister"

Li Si came back to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”

"The chamberlain let us in"

Cao Yi said and walked in first.
