Chen Ke followed the jailer's footsteps and walked forward, casually scanning the surroundings.
Tingwei's prison was not clean, especially after entering this prison, a smell came to his face, almost stunting Chen Ke.
Chen Ke frowned, held his breath and walked inside.
After a while, he slowly reacted, and his reaction to the environment and the air quality was much better.
Human adaptability is powerful.
Just as he was able to adapt to a new Great Qin, he quickly adapted to the environment inside this prison.
The more you go inside, the cleaner and neater it becomes.
I didn't see Kong Xian all the way.
It wasn't until they reached the last few cells that Chen Ke saw Kong Xian sitting there.
Kong Xian sat on the straw at this time, and the straw was clean.
This is what Chen Ke ordered before.
The First Emperor didn't mind either.
This is the respect that Kong Xian deserves.
"Mr. Kong, dozens of days have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Don't come unharmed?"
Looking at Chen Ke who was standing there, Kong Xian narrowed his eyes slightly.
In these days in the prison, his eyes have been burned, and now he sees people a little bit of a lake.
After seeing Chen Ke's appearance clearly, Kong Xiancai smiled dumbly.
"It turned out to be Chen Shaofu."
"What is Chen Shaofu doing today? Is it here to laugh at the old man? β
Chen Ke didn't answer, just glanced at the people around him.
The jailer next to him immediately retreated.
There is only one Kong Xian in these cells, so it is also a clean place.
Chen Ke casually looked at Kong Xian opposite him, and walked directly into the cell, with a calm expression on his face.
He didn't dislike the dirt in front of him, and sat on the ground casually.
"Mr. Kong said this, am I this kind of person?"
Chen Ke said: "It's just that my peaceful days were broken by you after all, so I just came to see you." β
He said as he asked the little guy next to him to put everything away.
The meal that I had told the servant to prepare in the kitchen was ready at this time.
"Let's eat, Mr. Kong."
"Today is the "sunset" appointed by His Majesty, and it is the most solemn festival of the year."
"The people of the world are reunited with their families on this day and enjoy a moment of peace."
"This is Your Majesty's grace to the people of the world."
"Among the people in the world, you are naturally included."
Kong Xian didn't care, and he didn't push back, just picked up the chopsticks (fast sons) and slowly ate the food in front of him.
"This is the severed head meal prepared by Chen Shaofu for the old man?"
Chen Ke was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Kong Xian didn't care either, just said it with emotion.
"In fact, during the time I was in prison, I have been thinking about one thing, when and where I lost to that tyrant."
A sneer crossed his lips.
"However, I calculated and calculated, only to find that on the day you appeared, I failed."
"You sabotaged our plan, sent Chunyu Yue to prison, and became Fusu's teacher."
"From here, everything is out of our control."
"Later, in order to take revenge on Confucianism, you came up with the "papermaking technique", on the one hand, to let the "paper" spread, so that the "bamboo slip" books are not loved by everyone."
"On the other hand, you also used this thing to calm the hearts of Daqin's somewhat impetuous people."
"That's why you say that paper is a godsend."
"After that, it's time for stencil printing."
"You used the stitching as an introduction to the anthology."
"I also used the anthology to lead to the "Anthology" and your own "Thousand Character Essay" and Li Si's "Jurisprudence".
"You used anthologies and law to bind Li Si and the anthology students, and made them people in your camp."
"Use this to be hostile to our Doctor's Palace."
"In the end, the Doctor's Palace was abolished and changed to the Baijia Palace, and you further weakened the power of Confucianism."
"In the future, you watched my dog jump over the wall in a hurry and arrange the affairs of Huiji County in the Southern Tour."
"You did it on purpose."
"You're going to do everything you can in Huiji County, and you've fallen into your trap."
"And then you overturned my trap and watched me die without a place to bury."
"You have completely dealt a blow to Confucianism, and at the same time have stabilized your position in the heart of the First Emperor."
Speaking of this, Kong Xian's voice was filled with admiration.
"I really admire you."
"It's all one after the other, and you can't do it all without any one place."
"Your tiredness and laziness are disguised, and your sleeves are breezy, you don't love power, and you are free from the world."
Kong Xian's body leaned forward, his voice hoarse, accompanied by the eerie sound of the wind in the prison.
"You're in it for power!"
"You tied Li Si to your camp, this is to lure him in the name!"
"You tied Wang Jian to your camp, this is using the "soldiers" that Wang Jian is worried about as bait!"
"You tied Fusu to your camp and Hu Hai to your camp, this is the grace of master and apprentice!"
Kong Xian seemed to have discovered something, and he stared at Chen Ke deadly.
"You laid down a huge web of earth-shattering, and you are like a spider entrenched in a spider's web, watching with satisfaction as my prey is trapped in the web and unable to extricate yourself."
Kong Xian's eyes were slightly closed, with a little remorse on his face.
"Once upon a time, I always thought that I fell into your trap when I was in the anthology."
"But now that I think about it, how can you be such a smart and ruthless person, how can you be bewitched by Chun Yuyue's words and succeed, and play with Fusu?"
"If you are really so stupid, how could you suddenly think of such a perfect way to solve the emperor's suspicion and the rebuke of the ministers in an instant?"
Kong Xian's face was sad.
"It's just a pity that all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are the same as Chun Yuyue, and they were deceived by you!"
Kong Xian's tone was gloomy: "But you can't fool me now!" β
With hatred in his eyes, he stared at Chen Ke like an angry lion.
Chen Ke sighed vigorously.
He didn't know that he was so good at doing these things one by one.
"Mr. Kong, you're too worried."
"That's not what I intended."
Chen Ke's expression was very calm, he came here today to break off with Kong Xian and his old self.
"It was indeed between life and death that I realized the great horror and thought of a solution to the county."
"I didn't deliberately seduce Mr. Chun Yuyue, nor did I want to eradicate your Confucianism."
"As for the subsequent papermaking and printing, they are indeed godsends, and there will be no falsehood at all."
Chen Ke opened his eyes and said nonsense.
Why should you tell the truth to Kong Xian? Is it because Kong Xian is going to die?
Can a dead man keep a secret?
No, it's not the dead who can keep secrets the most, it's yourself!
He's going to rot these things in his stomach, and he will never tell anyone!
Chen Ke smiled surging and said with emotion: "As for the after? β
"What happened after that was not planned by me, but something that you had to sit down under your threat."
Chen Ke spread his hands: "At that time, you wanted to kill me, but I can always let you do it, right?" β
"Zhao Gao originally wanted to please me, but he secretly spread a message about me."
"You made it up from the stars in the east, and the ancestral dragon collapsed and divided the earth, right? Together with Zhao Gao and the people of the Six Kingdoms? β
Chen Ke said mockingly: "In order not to be killed by you, of course I have to fight back." β
"But even if you fight back, how can you guarantee that you won't continue to want to kill me?"
"So, I can only strike first and kill you."
"As long as you destroy Confucianism, kill you, and cut the grass to the roots, you won't want to kill me, and you won't have the ability to kill me."
"So everything after that was a counterattack."
Chen Ke said the words that made Kong Xian's heart tremble the most tonight.
"If you hadn't provoked me in the first place, whether it was a fetish or something else."
"None of them will be born."
"I'm not going to ruin your plans."
"Because I'm too lazy to destroy."
Chen Ke stood up straight and looked at Kong Xian in front of him condescendingly: "Mr. Kong, so everything is just your Confucian's self-inflicted." β
"It's not about me."
"Today, I, Chen Ke, saw you off, it was you and Confucianism who forced me to fight back, and then I did something."
"It is because of these things that I have been able to get to where I am today."
"After I figured something out, I had enough strength and opportunity to accomplish what I wanted in my heart."
Chen Ke looked at Kong Xian and bent down slightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Kongβ"
"Although I know that Mr. Kong didn't mean to do so."
Chen Ke had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned around and left, at this moment he did not have the slightest nostalgia.
Kong Xian sat behind him, with a little surprise on his face, a little incredulous.
His eyes widened with rage, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"It's me? It's me? β
"Am I who hurt Confucianism?"
Three exclamations and long sighs, their tones filled with grief and incredulity.
"Hahahahaha
Kong Xian's cruel laughter echoed in this prison, and he saw Chen Ke's eyes when he said this.
The eyes were clear.
He knew that Chen Ke was not lying, even if he had to hide it, but he really didn't lie.
So if he hadn't instigated Chun Yuyue to provoke Chen Ke, would Chen Ke have watched the play on the sidelines?
Could Confucianism not exist today?
Thinking of this, Kong Xian's whole body was a little broken, he laughed, and his swaying body couldn't stand steadily.
"I am a sinner, I am a sinner!"
"Ancestor, I'm sorry Ancestor!"
..........
Long Street
Chen Ke sighed faintly, not saying anything.
He just walked home.
........
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng sighed, still unable to sleep.
"What will Chen Ke say to Kong Xian?"
When Chen Ke went to visit Kong Xian, he let the people from the Black Ice Platform go and did not continue to listen.
This is the respect and freedom that Yingzheng gave to Chen Ke.
It's just that at this time, he will still be curious.
..........
The first year of the first emperor, the first day of the first month.
daybreak
Chen Ke woke up from his sleep, only to feel very tired from top to bottom.
But in any case, the new year has finally arrived.
And his long-awaited rest day also came.
