Chapter 18: The Puzzle
As soon as the words fell, the air in the prison suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the silver needle landing was clearly audible.
Fusu glanced at Li Si, he was extremely nervous at the moment, his father's identity that was finally concealed, was it so recognized by Fusu?
And once Ran Fang recognized Li Si, wouldn't all the efforts he had made before be over?
Li Si was calmer than Fusu, although he was also a little surprised in his heart, and he was also curious about where he showed his flaws.
In the end, it was Li Si who took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.
I saw him laugh out loud "hahaha", and then took the initiative to explain.
"What's the matter, it's just a small official in Xianyang City, not a big official position."
Fusu also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, no matter what, it was a reason.
And Fusu didn't know if Ran Fang believed it at this time, holding two handfuls of sweat in both hands, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
Ran Fang looked at Li Si in front of him with a smile, but did not answer, there was obvious distrust in his eyes.
After two seconds, he suddenly "chuckled, the expression on his face was much more casual, looked at Li Si and said, "I see." ”
"But I think Mr. has an extraordinary bearing, and his every move reveals his heroic spirit, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future."
These words are very meaningful, Li Si was slightly stunned, did this Ran Fang see his identity?
I just thought about it for a long time and didn't understand the situation.
In desperation, Li Si could only respond with a smile: "By Mr.'s auspicious words, if it is true as Mr. said in the future, then I will definitely come to thank you." ”
Ran Fang changed a relaxed position, half lying there, and said meaningfully: "Then I can take it seriously, and Mr. Shi should not forget his promise." ”
This time it was Li Si's turn not to speak, and he didn't continue with the matter.
Instead, he changed the subject, and he asked seemingly casually: "I don't know what crime Mr. has committed, why is he here?" ”
Ran Fang didn't chase after him, he glanced at Fusu beside him, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Like Su Gongzi, I am also a Confucian." ”
This sentence, Li Si understood.
He nodded, indicating that the rest of the words did not need to be said, and he understood.
I was just a little puzzled and asked, "At that time, His Majesty ordered the release of Confucian Sheng, why was Mr. not released?" ”
Speaking of this, Ran Fang was angry, he was a little indignant in his heart, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he looked at Li Si and said angrily: "I was expected to go out, but I don't know where I offended the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he ordered me to stay in this prison." ”
Hearing Ran Fang say this, Li Si was stunned for a moment, and was a little puzzled when he had given such an order?
Could it be that the people under him are making their own decisions?
Before he could figure it out, Yu Guang happened to see Fusu bowing his head a little embarrassed, and he immediately understood that this must be His Majesty's statement.
figured out the key to it, and nodded slightly: "I see, the prime minister is still such a small-bellied person, embarrassing you as a little Confucian student, it's a little unreasonable." ”
Fusu looked at Li Si with some surprise, this person actually took the initiative to say bad things about himself?
It was Ran Fang, hearing Li Si say this, the expression on his face was a little surprised, and he immediately understood that this person was afraid that he was also a Confucian person.
Then he could speak bolder, so he followed Li Si's words and said: "Mr. Gaojian, I am just a Confucian student, if I say that I am offended, it may be a little extreme between words, and the prime minister actually bent the law to lock me up in this Xianyang Prison for a long time, which is really a bit excessive!" ”
"If I can get out of prison, I must find him and talk to him well, how can this dispute between Confucianism and Legalism have to be resolved in prison?"
"Sir, you think I'm right?"
Seeing Ran Fang gushing about his opinions, Li Si didn't have a trace of anger, and even felt a little funny, it was the first time that someone dared to say this to his face, and he even asked his opinion.
He also had an angry expression on his face, "What you said is very true! ”
"The prime minister has gone too far, and he will make the people of the world condemn him!"
Seeing that Li Si was more excited than himself, and even had the posture of going to find the prime minister, Ran Fang couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking that this person would not be out of prison and go to confront Cheng in a fit of anger, right?
Thinking about it this way, he changed his tone, "It doesn't have to be like this, although I have some opinions about the prime minister, but after all, Prime Minister Li Si is also a hero of Great Qin and a representative of the Legalists, from his standpoint, these things are not wrong." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Si, but even Fusu was stunned.
None of them thought that Ran Fang was so indignant what he had just said, and he would actually follow Li Si at this time.
Especially Li Si is still a Legalist, although he does not have such a big grudge with Confucianism, but this Confucianism and Legalism have always been very discordant, and it is still rare to hear the words of praise for Li Si in the mouth of Confucianism.
Li Si looked at Ran Fang with some disapproval, and even some blame.
"Mr. is a Confucian, do you still want to say good things for the Legalists?"
Listening to Li Si's sharp tone, Ran Fang knew that he was also a Confucian person, and he felt that all of them were pedantic people?
"Sir is wrong, I'm not saying good things for the Legalists, I'm just seeking truth from facts, after all, the merits of the Legalists are there, but the current Legalist system is no longer suitable for the development of Daqin, but the merits of the Legalists and the prime minister are there."
"At the beginning, Qin Xiaogong supported Shang Ying's reform, which strengthened the national strength of Qin and laid the foundation for Qin's later unification of the world, which is the credit of the Legalists, and there is no doubt about it."
"It's just that since the founding of the Great Qin, the DPRK and China want to promote the system and culture of the Great Qin to the old land of the six countries, but the cultures of the countries are different, and naturally some policies cannot be accepted by the common people and nobles, which will inevitably lead to other conflicts and contradictions, if the Legalists insist, it will definitely be unfavorable to the unification of the Great Qin."
"How many years have passed since the fall of the Qi State, and this problem has still not been solved, if it is allowed to develop, it will definitely become more and more intense, and then Daqin will be in the point of life and death."
"That's why I said that although the prime minister's approach is a little biased, he is right from the perspective of defending the Legalists, and he is wrong from the perspective of the future development of Daqin."
Ran Fang's words made both Fusu and Li Si ponder, they never thought that the dispute between the Legalists and the Confucian sect would affect the rise and fall of Great Qin.
Although Li Si didn't believe what Ran Fang said, he had to say that what he said just now did tell the crux of the current dynasty.
Especially now, His Majesty has released Confucian scholars without warning and let them participate in the revision of books, is this a signal?
"Then according to Mr. Wang, if His Majesty reuses Confucianism, he will be able to solve the current problems of Great Qin?"
