Chapter 275: The Taboo of Immortality [1 Update]
A group of Confucian scholars and scholars glared angrily at Fang Xiaoyu, but Zhao Gao and the people of Great Qin had a look of appreciation.
At this time, it was the peak of the prestige of the Great Qin, the invasion of the Xiongnu in the north was broken by Meng Tian and the army in the Hetao, and most of the Baiyue wilderness in the south had been taken.
Lu Sheng stepped forward to personally remove the shackles from Fang Xiaoyu's hand, and said with a look of appreciation: "This fellow Daoist, I am Lu Sheng, you are willing to join my Great Qin Fangshi Mansion to serve." ”
At the moment when the shackles were removed, Fang Xiaoyu felt that the internal breath and mana that he had been unable to call in his body had all recovered, and the feeling of being lost and regained made Fang Xiaoyu's heart ripple slightly.
Being in Great Qin, it would naturally be great if he could have an official identity, and the Great Qin Fangshi Mansion seemed to be a good choice.
Under Lu Sheng's expectant gaze, Fang Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said, "I don't dare to ask for what I want." ”
Lu Sheng laughed.
Fang Xiaoyu ignored the gazes of the Confucian scholars and scholars, walked up to Bao Yuzi and said: "Fellow Daoist of Bao Yuzi, I see that you have no disgust for Great Qin, this time is really a disaster, you are willing to serve Great Qin with me." ”
Bao Yuzi was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he just nodded slowly after a little groaning.
Cultivators seek the way of immortality, the more people who pursue immortality, the more afraid of death, hugging Yuzi may be able to face death calmly, but it does not mean that he will let go of the chance to live.
Besides, what Fang Xiaoyu said was also right, he had no grudges against Great Qin, and he was not like those who were born in the nobility of the Six Kingdoms who hated the destruction of Great Qin, and even took the destruction of Great Qin as his own responsibility.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu opened his invitation, and Hug Yuzi immediately responded down the steps.
Seeing that Hug Yuzi agreed, Fang Xiaoyu turned to Lu Sheng on the side and said: "Lord Lu, this is Hug Yuzi Daoyou, my heart is towards my Daqin, I don't know ......"
Lu Sheng glanced at Bao Yuzi, his heart moved, with Lu Sheng's strength, of course, he could see that Bao Yuzi's cultivation was profound, such a master was said to be difficult to capture, even if the strong man who used the Great Qin Army Formation supplemented by Fang Shifu wanted to take down such a master, he would have to pay a great price.
Now that the other party has been put in shackles, this is enough to prove that Bao Yuzi is not the kind of person who is bent on fighting with Daqin.
Many of the scholars themselves are homeless and countryless, so the Great Qin Fangshi Mansion can take advantage of the general trend of the unification of the world to gather the strange people among the world's scholars, making the Great Qin Fangshi Mansion powerful and incomparable.
"Okay, since Fang Daoyou is the guarantor, then this Daoist friend will join our Shifu together."
As Fang Xiaoyu and Bao Yuzi were taken off their shackles and walked out of the range of custody, the Confucian scholars who were originally wailing and cursing seemed to be much calmer at this time.
Zhao Gao's eyes fell on the pile of books like a hill, and said categorically: "Give me all the books written in the six languages, and burn them all." ”
This is to cut off the culture of the Six Kingdoms, and to eliminate the influence of the Six Kingdoms from the root, and the people from the nobles of the Six Kingdoms among the Confucian scholars and scholars suddenly wept as if they were mourning.
The fire was burning, and piles of books were burned like this, and Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but show regret in his eyes.
Lu Sheng looked at Fang Xiaoyu's expression in his eyes and said, "What, Fang Daoyou is sorry for these books?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head slightly and said, "I just sigh that the knowledge recorded in these books is beneficial to my Great Qin, but it is a pity that it will be burned to death." ”
Hou Sheng on the side chuckled when he heard this: "His Majesty the First Emperor is not a mediocre person, His Majesty has already decreed, but all the records recorded in the people's livelihood in the world and beneficial to my Great Qin will be copied and copied, and the essence of the Six Kingdoms will be used by my Great Qin, and what will be burned is just some dross." ”
Fang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, even historians can't figure out what the real history of book burning and pit Confucianism is, but now that he is in this world, it is obvious that burning books and pit Confucianism is not a tyrannical act of Qin Shi Huang.
Throughout the life of the first emperor, he built the Great Wall and built a straight road, which was to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu barbarians in the north. The burning of books and the pit of Confucianism is to unify the written language and culture. Objectively speaking, any emperor with a great revenge would do this.
However, the first emperor's major repair of the first emperor's mausoleum and the construction of the Afang Palace also exposed the first emperor's self-respecting and joyful side.
One after another, Fangshi and Confucian scholars walked out of the encirclement of the Great Qin Ruishi and chose to belong to the Great Qin, in the face of life and death, the pursuit and ideals are not important.
However, for those remnants of the Six Kingdoms, even if they are willing to surrender, Daqin will not accept it.
With Zhao Gao's order, hundreds of Confucian scholars and scholars were mercilessly pushed into the big pit below.
Under the cover of the earth, hundreds of people were soon buried alive under the ground.
The surrounding Great Qin Ruishi all looked cold, like sculptures, and the movements in their hands did not stop, ignoring the wails and cries of those who were buried alive, as if burying them alive was nothing at all.
Think about the hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops killed by Bai Qi in the past, and in the process of Great Qin's conquest of the Six Kingdoms, there were definitely not a few soldiers and nobles of the Six Kingdoms who were killed, so today's scene is nothing at all.
If it weren't for the burning of classics and the killing of Confucian scholars today, I am afraid that there would be no record of this paragraph in history.
Anyone present is a person who is used to seeing killing, not to mention that life is not a thing, hundreds of people were killed in front of their eyes, and there were really few people who showed strange expressions.
Fang Xiaoyu has also led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for the world, and after a big battle, tens of thousands of casualties have been lost at every turn, and he has already sharpened a tenacious heart.
With Xianyang City as the center, a wave of book burning arose in the Great Qin Empire, but anyone who hid the classics written in the Six Kingdoms script at home would be connected to the whole family once it was discovered.
In such a wave, although the classics of the Six Kingdoms could not be said to have completely disappeared from the land of Qin, they were almost extinct, laying a solid foundation for the unification of Chinese culture and writing.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyu also returned to the Great Qin Fangshi Mansion with Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng.
The Great Qin Fangshi Mansion is located in the western city of the Xianyang Imperial Capital, covering an area of Aurora, which can be said to have gathered more than half of the Fangshi mastered by Daqin.
Among these scholars, the most famous were Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, Han Zhong and Xu Fu, who had escaped overseas with the First Emperor.
The four great scholars of Great Qin, Xu Fu fled, and the Fangshi Mansion was under great pressure.
And the scam of seeking immortal medicine overseas was exposed, and the great pressure of the First Emperor's pursuit of immortality was naturally pressed on the Fang Shi Mansion.
There was a tense and oppressive atmosphere throughout the Fangshi Mansion.
Fang Xiaoyu and Hug Yuzi were assigned to a courtyard, and the two of them could be regarded as having a common hardship, although each had their own privacy, but in Fang Shi's Mansion, if they really wanted to talk about friends, there was only Hug Yuzi alone.
On this day, Fang Xiaoyu and Bao Yuzi sat down among hundreds of scholars and listened quietly to the will of the first emperor conveyed by Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng on the high platform.
The first emperor's decree is to refine the elixir, and if someone can refine the elixir, this person is the national teacher of the Great Qin, with a respected status and a rest with the country.
Fang Xiaoyu has heard Bao Yuzi say that it seems that all schools of Taoism and Yin and Yang seem to have prescriptions for elixirs.
To say that none of the so many monks present knew the prescription for the elixir would be absolutely deceitful.
However, in the face of Qin Shi Huang's heavy reward, none of the monks stood up, which greatly surprised Fang Xiaoyu's expectations.
Fang Xiaoyu's face was full of puzzlement, especially when he looked at Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng, and Han Zhong, the three of them were afraid that they all had elixir prescriptions.
As long as there is an elixir prescription in the world, then it will definitely not become a secret, one to ten, ten to hundred, not to mention the flooding, at least in a small area, it will definitely be no problem for everyone to have one.
Even the monks like Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, who encouraged the First Emperor to pursue the path of immortality, were deceiving Qin Shi Huang and refusing to refine the elixir for him personally.
There's a problem, there's definitely a big problem here.
Fang Xiaoyu was not stupid, he saw the reactions of all the monks present in his eyes, and after a little thought, he could see that there was definitely something else in this.
The silence of many Fang Shi seemed to be expected by Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, if someone really jumped out at this time, then they really had to be curious.
A group of monks came out one after another, leaving the main hall in twos and threes, and each returned to his own residence.
Fang Xiaoyu returned to the residence like hugging Yuzi, and when he entered the courtyard, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but say to Hug Yuzi with curiosity in his heart: "Hug Yuzi Daoist, I have a question in my heart, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
Hug Yuzi is dressed in a sackcloth and gray robe, and the wooden hairpin passes through the bun, at first glance, it is a fairy wind and bones, and he has the demeanor of a master outside the world.
Glancing at Fang Xiaoyu, Hug Yuzi smiled and said, "Xiaoyou, it should be strange why no one took over the will of the First Emperor." ”
Fang Xiaoyu knew that the person in front of him was a person-like person, and he would never be able to hide his thoughts from the other party, so he smiled: "I know that I can't hide it from Daoyou, so I also ask Daoyou to solve my doubts." ”
Holding Yuzi's eyes suddenly became deep and said: "The way of heaven is lofty and ethereal, we are a duckweed in the world, the road of immortality is a fight with the sky, this move is against the sky, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth, even if it can refine the elixir, then the person who refines the medicine will inevitably be entangled in cause and effect, and the path of immortality will be cut off, more importantly, if you want to refine the elixir, you need to blindly take a big medicine, the national fortune of a country, just ask how many people dare to ask the first emperor for the great qin country to refine the medicine, this kind of action to break the great qin country, I am afraid that it will be broken by the first emperor." ”
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this, he couldn't have imagined that there were so many taboos in the elixir, could it be that the death of Great Qin II was because the First Emperor finally chose to exchange the national fortune for the elixir?
