Chapter 1: The beginning of Xianyang Prison

Next Chapter

Thirty-four years of the First Emperor.

Xianyang Prison.

Inside a dimly lit cell.

"How can Your Majesty be so indistinguishable from right and wrong, wronged!"

"Confucianism is the way to govern the country, please also ask Your Majesty to learn from it!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

Loud shouts rang out incessantly.

At this time, even though this group of imprisoned Confucian scholars kept raising their voices, they could not hide their embarrassment.

But even in this noisy environment, a teenager in the corner of the cell seemed a little out of place.

The young man leaned on the haystack and looked at the group of Confucian students in front of him, his eyes full of mockery and speechlessness that could not be hidden.

He, Ran Fang!

A top student of the 21st century!

When I woke up, I found that I had actually traveled to Daqin!

Pity yourself, before you have time to look at the great rivers and mountains of Daqin, you were dragged into prison by this group of fools in front of you.

In addition, since this group of Confucian students was locked up, they have been shouting and shouting all day long, which is even more annoying than the aunt at the entrance of the village.

Helplessly stretched, Ran Fang looked at the group of Confucian scholars and said speechlessly: "I said can you stop for a while, aren't you tired of shouting like this?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the cell suddenly fell silent.

The people who were still shouting before all turned their heads to look at Ran Fang.

"Ran Fang! Aren't you a self-proclaimed descendant of Confucius's apprentice Ran Geng? ”

"Now that Confucianism has suffered this catastrophe, can you ignore it?! What a Confucian student in vain! ”

Originally, he was caught inexplicably, and Ran Fang was angry in his heart, but now someone took the initiative to hit his gun.

"If I hadn't been implicated by you, I wouldn't have listened to you gossip here!"

"The sages once said, 'If you don't prepare for others, you can't check yourself', before scolding others, have you ever reflected on why you were arrested?"

The man was choked by Ran Fang, and his face suddenly turned red.

Just as he was about to refute Ran Fang, he saw the jailer walking in with a wooden stick in his hand.

"What's the noise?! No matter how noisy I am, I won't even give you dinner! ”

"Damn, you're still stubborn when you're dying!"

The jailer's words were still very intimidating, and the prison was quiet for a while.

Seeing this scene, the disdain in Ran Fang's eyes was even worse.

A bunch of fools who bully the weak and fear the hard!

Seeing that the cell was quiet, the insolence on the jailer's face disappeared, and he turned to salute the boy behind him with a flattering face.

"Childe, this cell is relatively quiet, how many days will you be wronged here?"

The speed with which the jailer changed his face was breathtaking, but it also aroused the curiosity of many people.

They all looked at the son who was full of nobility between his demeanors.

This look, at first glance, is not from an ordinary family!

I saw that the boy nodded, walked straight into the cell without saying anything, and then found a seat on the side and sat down.

As soon as the jailer left, a Confucian student curiously inquired about the identity of the new cellmate.

"Dare to ask the name of the child? Judging by your clothes, it seems that you are also from Confucianism, is Your Majesty still hunting for Confucian students now? ”

Hearing this, the noble son who had just been imprisoned was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

After a little hesitation, he said slowly: "Under the surname Su, you can be called Su Gongzi." ”

"As for the outside, the imperial court does have a matter of arresting Confucian disciples."

Hearing this news, the Confucian scholars suddenly sighed in their hearts.

"Arrest the Confucian scholars, and confiscate the books! Your Majesty wants to kill my Confucianism? ”

"Your Majesty is deaf, !!"

Na Su Gongzi's face was full of confusion at this time, and he didn't know where to start explaining to everyone.

I was about to open my mouth to speak, but suddenly I heard a loud shout!

"Shut up!"

In an instant, there was silence in the cell, and some people even shrank back.

And Ran Fang, who was screaming, had a faint chill in his neck.

This group of people is simply jumping on the grave, thinking that their lives are long!

If those words reach Ying Zheng's ears just now, whether he can see the sun tomorrow or not is a matter of two words!

Seeing that they were all quiet, Ran Fang glanced at everyone with hatred.

"A bunch of pedantics, do you have to find a dead end for yourself?!"

Looking at Ran Fang, who was questioning Confucianism sharply, Su Gongzi couldn't help but show curiosity on his face.

And Lin Tao, a Confucian scholar who had just taken the lead, stood up with a dissatisfied face at this time.

"Ran Fang, you and I are from the same school, have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors?"

"Your Majesty was bewitched by traitors, confiscated the books of the world, and practiced the law of cool officials! We will advise you to restore the weekly rites and rule the world with etiquette! ”

"Now that I have been convicted of my words and am being imprisoned here, why should I be wrong?"

"If you don't join us, you still stop me from waiting, it's just a Confucian in vain, and you are ashamed of the sages!"

This remark was resounding, and the rest of the people echoed it.

Seeing this, Lin Tao's face was complacent, and his eyes looked at Ran Fang with a little more disdain.

Seeing that this group of people were so stubborn, running wildly with their eyes closed on the way to death, Ran Fang couldn't help but sneer.

"I thought that although you were pedantic, you should not be stupid, but when I look at it today, it is not quite true."

"The weekly rites in your mouths are only made by dividing them?"

"Don't you wait, that week will be divided, will the world finally be divided, and the people will not have a good life?"

"This is what you call the world society?"

Lin Tao's expression froze, a trace of ugliness flashed on his face, and then he said in a stiff tone: "You are simply crooked!" ”

"At the beginning, the vastness of the territory of the Zhou royal family was a well-known thing, such a large territory to manage, do you know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed?"

"Fallacy!" Ran Fang glanced at Lin Tao with disdain, his eyes swept over the other Confucian students, and when he saw the indignation in their eyes, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "The world is stable and rich, and the first thing is unification!" ”

"In the five hundred years of the nation's struggle for hegemony, have you ever seen and heard of the world of great governance?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you only knew how to advocate the division of feuds all day long, and ignored the reality, why would my Confucian classics be confiscated by the imperial court?"

"And how can we be convicted of our words and imprisoned here?"

"Now that you're in custody, you still don't want to think about the problem, talking nonsense!"

"If someone with a heart grabs the handle, how many people will die in this prison in vain because of your mouth?"

As Ran Fang's voice fell, the Confucian scholars couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I have to say that Ran Fang's words do have some truth.

But even so, there are still people who are not convinced.

"But the imperial court has indeed confiscated all the books in the world, doesn't this show the problem?"

Ran Fang didn't look for who said it, but just glanced at this group of sour and pedantic Confucian students, and said coldly, "Did the imperial court say that it would destroy the book at the beginning?" ”

"Your suspicion and advice at this time will only backfire and force Your Majesty to burn books to prevent future troubles!"

At this time, the Confucian scholars all quieted down, guessing the truth of Ran Fang's words.

At this time, Su Gongzi, who had just been imprisoned in the next cell, looked at Ran Fang with burning eyes.

"I don't know what Mr. thinks, how Your Majesty should deal with these classics is the best policy?"
