Chapter 5: The Purpose of the Revision
After coming out of Xianyang Prison, Ying Zheng returned to the palace in a carriage.
Walking back to Xianyang Palace, he sat on the main hall and thought for a moment, the matter of repairing the book should not be delayed.
"Zhao Gao, the herald Prime Minister Li Si, the imperial history Wang Xuan, the general Wang Qian, Zhonglang Meng Yi, Wei Yi and others immediately enter the palace."
"Whoa."
Zhao Gao kept asking his subordinates to announce the decree, but he was a little strange in his heart, at this time, His Majesty suddenly let the ministers into the palace, what did he want to say?
At this moment, the ministers who received the news also rushed to the palace.
A minister followed behind Li Si and asked in a low voice, "Do you know, my lordship, why did Your Majesty call me and others at this time?" ”
Li Si was also confused at the moment, just now he also asked the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, but he didn't expect the eunuch to also shake his head.
Whether he knew it or not, Li Si pretended to be calm on the surface.
"What else could it be, it's just a matter of burning books."
The ministers who followed behind Li Si also bowed their heads slightly at this time, obviously thinking that what Li Si said was quite reasonable.
And the royal history Wang Juan looked at Wang Jian who was speechless at this time, and asked softly.
"General Wang thinks that His Majesty is looking for me at this moment, what is the matter?"
The reason why Wang Juan asked Wang Jian was also because of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
His Majesty's attitude towards Wang Jian is the most different!
Wang Jian will be informed of everything.
Wang Jian glanced at Wang Juan and said lightly: "I am a martial artist, I only know how to lead troops to fight, how can I know Your Majesty's thoughts?" ”
"Hahaha, yes yes."
Yu Yi and Meng Tian, who were following behind them, looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they were also very puzzled in their hearts.
It's almost time for dinner, but His Majesty has decreed all of his ministers into the palace, which is definitely a big deal.
The speculation at this moment is all floating clouds, and you can only know what Your Majesty means when you really get to Xianyang Palace.
The group rushed to the Xianyang Hall and saluted in unison, "See Your Majesty." ”
"Get up."
Only then did everyone get up and stand still, and Li Si raised his head and looked at Zhao Gao imperceptibly, wanting to see some information in the other party's eyes, but he didn't see anything.
At this moment, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke.
"I have gathered you together today because of the collection of books."
"It's been five days since the confiscation of books from all over the world, what do you think?"
Li Si was overjoyed, in the past few days, he has asked his officials to write every day, asking His Majesty to burn the book, it seems that it has already had an effect, and His Majesty finally can't hold it back!
Thinking of this, Li Si took the lead in standing up and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the collected books should be burned as soon as possible, so as to block the mouths of the people of the world and help stabilize the country of Daqin."
After speaking, he stood in the middle, waiting for Yingzheng to give an order.
Ying Zheng on the stage frowned when he looked at Li Si in the middle, and was a little disappointed in him.
When he is the prime minister of the court, he can't see the long term compared to a Confucian scholar.
Li Si stood there for a long time, didn't wait for Ying Zheng's reply, and was a little drumming in his heart, did he guess wrong?
His Majesty didn't call them over because he wanted to burn books?
raised his head slightly, but saw Ying Zheng's expression as usual, without any dissatisfaction.
Li Si's heart settled down a little.
Then, I heard Ying Zheng ask, "Other people, what other opinions?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at each other.
Your Majesty, is this not satisfied with the book burning law?
The ministers looked at each other and didn't say a word, not knowing how to answer Yingzheng's question for a while.
In the end, it was Li Si who asked cautiously: "The ministers are stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Seeing this, Ying Zheng didn't expect the group of people in front of him to think of any good solutions.
With a sigh in his heart, he simply said Ran Fang's method.
"What do you think, how is this method of repairing books?"
As soon as Yingzheng's words came out, Li Si and the others were stunned.
"Repair books?"
This method is the first time I have heard it, how to fix this book?
Everyone was confused, not understanding what this method meant.
Yushi Wang Juan had some guesses, but he was not sure, so he stepped forward and bowed down and asked, "The ministers are stupid, may I ask Your Majesty what this book repair means?" ”
Ying Zheng told everyone about the method of repairing books that he heard in Xianyang Prison.
"All the books that have been confiscated will be rewritten, and the content must be accurately grasped, and the essence of the books should be taken and the dross removed."
He spoke slowly, and everyone suddenly understood.
In this way, it is indeed a good way to block the mouth of the world and make this book come out again.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Si frowned slightly, how long had he been preparing for the book burning, and His Majesty actually chose to repair the books, so that these books could stay again?
That's not a good thing for the Famen.
And how could you suddenly mention the matter of book revision?
According to his many years of understanding of Ying Zheng, in the past few days, they have asked Ying Zheng to burn the book, and this Ying Zheng's heart is shaken.
But in just one day, someone asked His Majesty to change his mind, and he didn't receive the news, which was too surprising to him.
Could it be that there is someone in this court who has so much power and can talk to His Majesty around him?!
I don't even know it?
A sense of crisis rose in his heart.
"The minister is stupid, and the books confiscated are not ten thousand or thousand, if the book is repaired, what year and month will it take?"
"Besides, this revision is a matter of national affairs, and the matter is very important, I wonder who Your Majesty is going to let preside over this matter?"
Ying Zheng already had an idea about this matter when he was in Xianyang Palace, and Ran Fang said that if he wanted to gather the strengths of a hundred schools, he would naturally use a hundred students to cultivate.
Moreover, according to Ran Fang's words, these hundred schools have their own strengths, and if they are the only one, they are afraid that they will deviate from his ideas.
"Spread the will of the widow, announce that hundreds of talented students will enter Xianyang, and discuss the matter of repairing books."
"The rebuilt 100 classics will be publicized to the world, and the people of the world will be asked to read the books of 100 schools."
No one expected that Ying Zheng would suddenly propose to revise the book, and let everyone in the world read hundreds of classics at will, which is simply a big initiative.
"Hundred students?"
Especially Wei Yi, Wang Jian and Meng Tian, they all belong to the military family, and the shock in their hearts is no less than the shocking thunder.
This soldier's book is also a happy thing for them.
But because of the laws of Great Qin, they have always dared to only circulate them in private, and never dared to let these books fall into the hands of others.
Now His Majesty has proposed to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and he can read them casually, and more importantly, let the people of the world read the books of the soldiers, which are no worse than Confucianism and Famen!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Yushi Wang Juan took a step forward, bowed to Yingzheng, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do with the Confucian students in prison?" ”
Ying Zheng didn't think about it, and said bluntly, "Li Si, release this group of Confucian students and let them also participate in the matter of repairing the book." ”
"But Ran Fang and Fusu in prison, don't release them for the time being, and keep them locked up."
Li Si secretly thought in his heart, since Gongzi Fusu claimed to be a disciple of Confucianism, His Majesty has a great prejudice against Confucianism, it seems that the people behind His Majesty only put forward an opinion, and did not say good things for Fusu.
In this case, he must investigate the people behind His Majesty, and then take it for himself!
"No."
