"The ancient holy kings sealed Zen with merit, and they wrapped the wheels of the mountain with cattail, so that they did not have to fear hurting the grass, trees, earth, and stones on the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, you sweep the ground and spread a mat made of straw to serve as a place of worship to the heavens. ”

It was Chun Yuyue who spoke.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth to ask, this hard-headed Confucian student couldn't wait to throw out his own sealing etiquette.

Hearing this, a question mark popped up in Zhao Tuo's head.

Wrap the wheel with cattail, is it true that if you run the wheel over, the grass and trees will not hurt?

And this Mount Tai is more than 1,500 meters high, and I don't know how much it twists and turns in the middle, do you take a car to go up?

Zhao Tuo shook his head speechlessly, he glanced at Chun Yuyue who was wearing a wide robe and big sleeves on the opposite side, and he really didn't know what was in the head of the person wearing the Jinxian crown.

On the other hand, after finishing the lacquer carving that has always been kind to Chun Yuyue, he first praised the method of the ancient holy king to wrap the wheel with a piece of grass, but in doing so, it is difficult to show the sincerity of the emperor.

It is better for the emperor to walk up the mountain himself, and then at intervals, let the accompanying ministers and important ministers worship and bow by the roadside. Then build a sacrificial platform on the top of the mountain, and place sacrificial utensils to the heavens, so as to show the emperor's sincerity.

Hearing this, the First Emperor's face had turned iron blue.

He had already overlooked Mount Tai north of Boyang City. Although it is not as high as Huashan and Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong, Mount Tai is also a majestic mountain, otherwise it is impossible for Qi people to say that Mount Tai is in line with the sky.

Do you want to walk up the hill? I want to die of exhaustion!

The First Emperor glared at Qi Diao fiercely. When Zhao Tuo saw this scene, his heart became more and more speechless.

These people are really masters of utopia, and they don't think about whether what they say can be realized or whether the emperor can accept it.

In addition to these two men, the leaders of other Confucian factions also spoke.

Various etiquette protocols that sound symbolic but are actually somewhat outrageous are proposed.

Some people even say that a large five-color altar should be built on Mount Tai to symbolize the operation of the five virtues.

Let the emperor stand on the black altar in the five-colored altar, look up at the sky there, bow down and worship, and tell the heavens.

In this way, it can better reflect the water virtue of Daqin and symbolize the destiny of heaven in me.

One by one, the rites of sealing Zen were pushed out. Zhao Tuo noticed that the emperor's face was getting more and more gloomy, and the ministers around him also looked at each other indifferently. On the contrary, Tingwei Li Si had a gentle face, and even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After the Confucian scholars finished talking about more than ten plans, Li Si glanced at Feng Chang next to him. Fengchang's name is Zhao Bing, he is a lawyer, and he is a member of the Legalist family, and he has always been close to Li Si.

As the minister in charge of sacrifices, Zhao Bing allowed Confucianism to argue from Xianyang to Mount Tai, and rarely asked, which probably also included Li Si's meaning.

Now seeing Li Si's gaze, Zhao Bing understood and knew that it was time to close the net.

He stood up and scolded: "The emperor sealed Zen, what a big deal, you and other Confucian scholars called this the gift of the ancient holy king, but from Xianyang to Mount Tai for a few months, even the etiquette is difficult to set, according to the practice of Er, I am afraid that until the day of June or six, the etiquette has not been determined, this is not a mistake to seal the Zen event, what is the use of waiting!" ”

Hearing Feng Chang stand up and scold, he saw the emperor's indifferent face again.

Prime Minister Zuo Wang Juan frowned slightly, he glared at the Confucian scholars fiercely, and hurriedly said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for all living beings to be one, it is better to give them another day and limit them to discuss." ”

Seeing that Wang Juan stood up in time to relieve the siege for the Confucian students, Li Si snorted coldly in his heart.

Sealing Zen is a matter of the holy king that Confucianism blows out. The Confucian scholars wanted to rely on this matter to regain the favor of the emperor, fight their way out of the situation of being deposed and neglected by the emperor, and fight for the right to speak in the court of Qin.

And Li Si, who was born under Xun Qing, has long seen through their virtues.

He discouraged Feng Chang from interrogating, and always allowed Confucian scholars to quarrel with each other, and even secretly added fuel to the fire.

Li Si did this precisely to show the uselessness of these Confucian scholars in front of the emperor.

Now that the time has come, how can he sit back and watch Wang Juan come to the rescue.

Li Si coughed lightly, stood up and said: "The prime minister's words are fallacious, the old man just looked at the words of all living beings, and the ritual of sealing Zen was not only chaotic and complicated, but also mutually exclusive, and it was difficult to determine one. And all of them are strange and difficult to understand, far beyond the understanding and realization of ordinary people, even if they are given another day, what is the use of agreeing on it, is it really necessary to let the emperor ride the car wrapped in the wheel of the grass to go up the mountain, or let the emperor hike to the top of Mount Tai? ”

When Zhao Tuo heard Li Si's words, he knew that those Confucian students were going to finish.

is a good Li Si, and his words really poked the emperor's heart.

Sure enough, the first emperor, who originally looked very gloomy, was completely angry when he heard the words "climb Mount Tai on foot".

He snorted coldly and rebuked: "What all living beings say, each is different, and it is difficult to apply. I used the etiquette of Daqin to seal Zen this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Confucian scholars completely changed.

They originally wanted to show their expertise in making rituals through the matter of sealing Zen, and seize the right to speak at the level of Qin's ideological sacrifices, but how do they know that the emperor directly exempted them and used Qin rites to seal Zen, so what do they need these Qilu Confucian students to do?

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"

Chun Yuyue stiffened his neck and shouted, "The matter of sealing Zen, since you should learn the law of the ancient holy king, how can you use the truth of Qin Li." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed greatly, and the emperor on the main seat frowned even more, and a flame burned in his eyes.

Li Si's eyes lit up.

It felt like Chun Yuyue was his ally.

But just when Li Si was about to stand up and use Chun Yuyue's words to make a big play, buckle the hat on this group of Confucian students, and then carry out an expanded attack.

But one of them stood up faster than him. "Bold!"

"When today is the world of my Great Qin, whether it is a Zen seal or a sacrifice, what's wrong with using my Qin rites! Emperor Rang Er and others discussed sealing Zen, but it was difficult to determine the dispute all the way, and he wasted the right thing, and now he dares to talk nonsense here, which is really unreasonable. It's time to fork it out! ”

Everyone was stunned, looking for prestige, only to see Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of martial arts, standing up, his face flushed, glaring angrily at Chun Yuyue and the Confucian students, his face was full of anger.

Everyone in the room was just surprised by Chun Yuyue's bold words, and before they could react, they saw Wugong Hou standing up and shouting, and they couldn't help but echo it.

"Fork out!"

"Fork out these Confucian students!"

The first emperor bowed his head, he was already very dissatisfied with the performance of these Confucian students, and was angered by Chun Yuyue's words, and when he was about to be punished, Zhao Tuo stood up in a timely manner, and scolded him very angrily, which made the anger in his heart disperse a little.

Zhao Tuo, this kid, really put me and Daqin first.

The First Emperor waved his hand.

"Just as the martial arts marquis said, give all the Confucian students in this house to me."

"Your Majesty, we are not guilty!"

The Confucian students finally knew that the emperor was playing seriously, and hurriedly opened his mouth to cry out, but Zhonglang, who heard the order to come in, directly forked Meng Yi out, leaving only a wail echoing.

"Martial Arts Hou!"

Chun Yuyue stared at Zhao Tuo with red eyes, and then was forked out by the two Lang Wei.

In the wailing of all beings, Tingwei Li Si squinted his eyes and turned his gaze to the martial arts marquis who still had an "angry red" on his face.

"This Zhao Tuo, is it intentional, or accidental?"

Feeling Li Si's gaze, Zhao Tuo nodded at him, and he was really relieved.

It was really dangerous.

As soon as Chun Yuyue's stinky mouth spoke, Zhao Tuo knew that Li Si would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and he would definitely take the opportunity to expand the attack.

If it was just for these Confucian players who couldn't speak, Zhao Tuo didn't have many opinions.

But Zhao Tuo knew Li Si and knew that this old guy was a master of buttoning hats, and he had always had the intention of destroying the other princes and hundreds of schools and making the Legalists dominant.

If he didn't stand up, maybe the burning of hundreds of books in history would have happened in advance.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo spoke first, scolded these Confucian students, and led the emperor to punish them, so that Li Si would not be able to say anything.

On the surface, Zhao Tuo was angry at those Confucian students, but he actually saved them once.

"Chun Yuyue, that guy doesn't have a doorknob on his mouth, maybe there will be bad things in the future, what kind of opportunity to burn poetry books and ban hundreds of schools for Li Si, you have to get Chun Yuyue down."

Zhao Tuo said secretly in his heart.

According to his understanding, Chun Yuyue has a bad mouth and doesn't care about the emperor and the overall situation, and he looks like a fool, but in fact, it's not just that he has no brains, but it also has something to do with the times.

You must know that compared with the autocratic Qin State, the six eastern states, especially the Qi State among them, have always been very free in terms of thought.

In the Jixia School Palace of the Qi State, a group of disciples of Zhuzi have been gathered for a long time, and they debate, confront, and attack each other in the school palace, and often talk about state affairs and criticize current affairs.

The state of Qi welcomed this, encouraged all schools of thought to participate in politics and discuss politics, and absorbed the opinions of all parties on governing the country.

This has also caused Confucian scholars like Chun Yuyue, who were born in Qilu, to like to participate in politics and discuss politics, and often have a critical attitude towards current affairs.

In Xianyang before, they participated in the discussion of counties and feudal divisions, attacked Princess Zhao Tuoshang, and raised all kinds of disadvantages of paper, in addition to having some purposes, and they often discussed politics and criticized state affairs in the Qi State, which was purely customary.

It's just that this kind of atmosphere of liking free discussion of politics is somewhat unworkable in the Qin State.

Here, just one voice is enough. This is also the reason why Chun Yu speaks more frequently, but is always suppressed.

Now, in order to prevent Chun Yuyue from opening up and causing trouble again in the future, Li Si is given the opportunity to expand and attack the princes. Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty, just now Chun Yuyue talked nonsense about right and wrong, such an open-mouthed person, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to be a doctor again, and he should be degraded as the head of Qian, so as to set an example." ”

The First Emperor remembered Chun Yuyue's annoying appearance in his mind, and said with his head bowed: "Yes." ”

Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Chun Yuyue's thorn was driven away, he wanted to shoot Zhou Qingchen's temperament of being good at seeing the wind and making rudders, and the chances of the Confucian scholars getting into trouble should not be great.

Li Si's face was expressionless, but he just looked at Zhao Tuo twice.

The First Emperor did not notice this, and he straightened out his thoughts for the day in his mind.

"The Confucianism is useless, this time I should use the gift of Daqin to sacrifice to the Emperor of Heaven and act, seal Mount Tai, Zen Liangfu, and tell the heavens!"

"Historical Records: Feng Zen Book": Seventy Confucian doctors from Qilu were recruited to Mount Tai. The Confucian scholars or the discussion said: "The ancients sealed Zen as a chariot, and harmed the soil, stones, grass and trees of the mountain; The ground is sacrificed, and the seat is made of straw, which is easy to follow. When the first emperor heard this, it was difficult to apply it, so he was discouraged.

Some people died, but not completely......
