A few days later, Xianyang was not calm, there were rumors that the emperor sent the imperial history to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the monks, and some were also targeted by the palace guards, although they were not arrested or anything, but they were panicked, so someone in the court faintly spread that since the emperor was poisoned, he no longer believed in the monks, and at this moment such an investigation must be to attack the monks.

The news shook Fang Shi like a bolt from the blue.

You must know that the emperor pursues immortality and spends a lot of money, resulting in a large number of Fangshi, at this moment the emperor no longer believes in Fangshi, with the emperor's violent style, they will naturally know what they will face.

As a result, Fang Shi was very angry and secretly slandered the court.

Confucian scholars have studied all over the world and are full of wealth, but since the emperor admired the study of law, Confucianism and Taoism have been neglected, and these Confucian ambitions have not been realized, and they have already complained, and the great doctor Chun Yuyue was idle, and even degraded as a peasant, which increased their resentment.

At this moment, Fang Shi's slander touched their hearts, and they also stirred. The investigation of the scholars is the distrust of the world, and the resentment of these Confucian scholars broke out, and they secretly commented on the government and government, satirizing the emperor's tyranny and mediocrity.

The situation is intensifying.

......

After a hard day, Li Zhao took Ah Chao to an inconspicuous restaurant, ready to deal with his appetite casually, and continued to work on iron smelting.

"Young master, I chose a good place!" In front of the restaurant, Ah Chao showed off like an invite, "That place is hidden, few people have set foot in it, and it is very close to the Xianyang Iron Mine, I am really capable." ”

Ah Chao raised his head, became neither big nor small, and even took the lead in entering the restaurant.

Li Zhao glanced at Ah Chao, did not reprimand, and let him mess around, in fact, such a master-servant relationship is very good, but it does not look dull.

"You love to show off, but well! That place is pretty nice. He added, "During this time, you don't have to run to Princess Yangzi anymore, and concentrate on iron smelting." ”

"This ......" Ah Chao had a bitter face, very reluctant, you know, sending flowers to the princess is beautiful, not only can you get the princess's reward, but also chatter with Qiu Xiang, how wonderful.

But seeing the young master's resolute look, he reluctantly agreed.

The two of them sat down and found that the restaurant was very deserted, and there were two people at a table next to them, and they were dressed well, but they were a little embarrassed and full of anger.

Li Zhao didn't care, ordered some side dishes by himself, and gobbled them up with Ah Chao.

"Duke Hou, do you know what happened in the imperial court recently?" The man with a square face in a hat approached the other man and asked quietly.

"Of course I know, isn't it that His Majesty sent the imperial history to investigate us and other scholars, but he provoked the slander of the scholars and Confucian scholars." Hou Gong replied, leaning over and lowering his voice, "Brother Lu, do you know what they slandered Your Majesty?" ”

The heads of the two were closer together, and the voice was weak, but Li Zhao heard it.

"What? Your Majesty investigates the slander of Fang Shi, Confucian scholars, etc.? It's only been a few days since I didn't pay attention to the affairs of the imperial court, and these things happened. Li Zhao didn't want to hear it, shook his head and muttered.

What an eventful time! His Majesty had just woken up, and he was criticized, and his old and weak body really didn't know if he could bear it.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly and continued to eat.

"Of course I know, all living beings are talking about His Majesty's violence, and they are too suspicious to give us a way to live."

"Yes, I think sentient beings are right, he is violent, doesn't he faint? But he blamed our Fangshi, and also sent the imperial history to investigate, which is not to believe us. ”

"Shh Hou Gong made a silent gesture, "Be quiet, in case the partition wall has ears, and the minions of the imperial history are everywhere, don't be too public." ”

"Humph! What are you afraid of, Yingzheng is tyrannical, and very mediocre, we Confucian scholars are protégés of saints, and they are knowledgeable, but he is partial to the study of law, and regards Confucianism as dung, such people should be criticized. ”

"Shh Sensing Brother Lu's excitement, Hou Gong continued to silence him.

Li Zhao, who had no intention of hearing such criticism, was shocked in his heart, not for anything else, but because he heard something incredible.

Brother Lu and Hou Gong criticized Qin Shi Huang, and they also rose because of Fang Shi.

Isn't this a prelude to book burning?

According to historical records, in the 35th year of Qin Shi Huang, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng ridiculed each other and commented on Qin Shi Huang's violence, Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered the imperial historian to arrest them, and involved Fang Shi and Confucian Sheng, although Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng escaped, they were still captured, and they were killed together with more than 460 people.

At this moment, Brother Lu and Hou Gong are so similar to Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng's names! Or comment on Qin Shi Huang.

"Don't talk about it, let's go quickly! The eyeliner of the imperial court is pervasive, and we may be targeted. ”

Brother Lu nodded, and the two hurried away.

After a while, sure enough, a guard dressed as a royal historian with palace costumes walked in, inquired about the situation of the two of them, and finally left in a hurry.

"Is there going to be a cheat?" Li Zhao exclaimed.

How similar this scene is, first the two of them commented, and then tracked down, all of which were plots of book burning and pit Confucianism.

The next moment, Li Zhao frowned, thinking: Didn't the book burning pit happen in 213 BC? It's 210 B.C., three years have passed, how can such a plot happen?

Immediately, his heart was pounding, and he thought of a possibility, that history had changed, that some of the events had changed in the years in which they had occurred.

It's not that he's cranky, it's the first thing he thinks! He has been reborn for so many years, and he has never heard of the incident of burning books and pit Confucianism, if it is because he is still young and has not heard enough, it is understandable, but Fusu can't do it.

According to historical records, after burning books and pit Confucianism, Fusu urged to protect Confucianism, but the angry Qin Shi Huang sent him to the north to assist Meng Tian in building the Great Wall to resist the northern nomadic Xiongnu.

That was what happened in 213 BC, and if you follow the historical development, Fusu at this moment should be in the north, but the people are still in the imperial court, which is completely unreasonable.

"Hey! I really don't know if it was because of my rebirth that caused the change in history or if history was like this, but the history books are wrong. ”

This question is a headache, and Li Zhao simply doesn't want to think about it.

Anyway, the pit has nothing to do with him, those Fang Shi are not shallow in harming people, and they will be killed in the pit.

It's just a pity that Fusu was implicated and sent to the north, and was finally given death, miserable!

Sure enough, within a few days, news came from Xianyang that under the auspices of Li Si, the book burning pit had occurred, which couldn't help but cause Li Zhao to sigh, although the incident was delayed, but the tragedy still happened.

It shows that there is no mistake in history, Qin Shi Huang really practiced this tyranny, for the people, Qin Shi Huang was violent, and Li Zhao also felt that Qin Shi Huang was brutal.

But after thinking about it, it is also somewhat in line with the emperor's character.

Anyone who deceives themselves must have such a reaction. The dream he pursued all his life came to naught in an instant, all because of the fraud of the alchemist, how could he bear it?

At this moment, Li Zhaozhen didn't know how to evaluate Qin Shi Huang.
