Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 87
A few days later, Xianyang was very restless. There were rumors that the emperor sent censors to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the alchemists. Some of them were watched by the palace guards. It turned out that since the emperor was overthrown by poison, he no longer believed in the alchemists. At this moment, such an investigation must be done by the alchemists.

The news shocked the alchemist like a bolt from the blue.

You must know that the emperor pursued longevity and spent a lot of money and silk, resulting in a large number of alchemists. Now that the emperor no longer believes in alchemists, and with the emperor's violent style, they naturally know what they will face.

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

Confucian scholars have studied all over the world and are full of economics, but since the emperor advocated law, Confucianism and Taoism have been left out in the cold. These Confucian scholars have not been able to display their ambitions, and they have long complained in their hearts. In addition, the great doctor Chun Yuyue has been left idle, and even demoted as a farmer , increasing their resentment.

At this moment, the alchemist's slander touched their hearts, and they also stirred up a commotion.To investigate alchemists is to distrust the world, and the grievances of these Confucian scholars broke out, and they secretly commented on the government, satirizing the emperor's violence and fatuousness.

The situation is getting worse.

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

"Master, the place I chose is not bad!" In front of the restaurant, Ah Chao showed off as if asking for credit, "The place is hidden, few people set foot in it, and it is very close to the Xianyang Iron Mine. I am really capable."

Ah Chao raised his head, became even more indifferent, and even walked into the restaurant first.

Li Zhaobai glanced at Ah Chao, didn't reprimand him, and let him mess around. In fact, this kind of master-servant relationship is quite good, but it doesn't seem dull.

"It's just you who like to show off, but well! That place is pretty good." He added, "During this time, you don't have to go to Princess Yangzi anymore, and concentrate on iron smelting."

"This..." Ah Chao had a bitter face, and was very unwilling. You know, sending flowers to the princess is a beautiful job. Not only can he get a reward from the princess, but he can also chat with Qiuxiang, which is so wonderful.

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

When the two sat down, they found that the restaurant was very deserted. There were only two people at the next table, and they were well dressed, but they were a little embarrassed and angry.

Li Zhao didn't care, he ordered some side dishes on his own, and he and A Chao gobbled it up.

"Hou Gong, do you know what happened in the court recently?" The square-faced man in a lun cap approached another man and asked quietly.

"Of course I know, it's not that your majesty sent a censor to investigate our alchemists, but they provoked slander from alchemists and Confucian scholars." Hou Gong replied, leaning forward one by one, lowering his voice, "Brother Lu, do you know what they are slandering your majesty?" ?"

The heads of the two moved closer, their voices were thin and weak, but Li Zhao heard them.

"What? Your Majesty is investigating alchemists, Confucian scholars, etc. for slander? Just a few days of not paying attention to the affairs of the court, and these things happened." Li Zhao heard it unintentionally, shaking his head and muttering.

What an eventful year!The moment His Majesty woke up, he was criticized. I really don't know if his old and weak body can bear it.

Li Zhao smiled wryly and continued to eat.

"Of course I know. All sentient beings say that His Majesty is violent and suspicious, so he won't give us alchemists a way out."

"Yes, I think what the sentient beings said is quite right. He is violent, so he fainted? But he blamed the crime on our alchemist and sent the censor to investigate. You don't believe me."

"Hush!" Hou Gong made a silent gesture, "Keep your voice down, in case the wall has ears, and the censor's minions are everywhere, so don't make too much noise."

"Hmph! What are you afraid of? Yingzheng is violent and stupid. Our Confucian scholars are disciples of saints with profound knowledge, but he prefers legal studies and regards Confucianism as dung. Such people should be criticized."

"Hush!" Sensing Brother Lu's excitement, Hou Gong continued to silence his voice.

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

Brother Lu and Duke Hou criticized Qin Shihuang, and they also raised their voices because of the alchemists.

Isn't this the prelude to burning books and burying scholars?
According to historical records, in the 35th year of Qin Shihuang, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng ridiculed each other and commented on Qin Shihuang's violence. Qin Shihuang was furious and ordered the censor to arrest them, involving alchemists and Confucian scholars. Although Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng escaped, they were still arrested. When he came back, he was murdered with more than 460 people.

How similar are the names of Brother Lu, Duke Hou, and Sheng Lu and Hou Sheng at this moment!Still comment on Qin Shihuang.

"Don't talk about it, let's go quickly! The court's eyeliner is all-pervasive, maybe we are being targeted."

Brother Lu nodded, and the two left in a hurry.

After a while, a person dressed as a censor came in with guards in palace clothes, asked the shopkeeper about the situation of the two, and finally left in a hurry.

"Could it be that Confucianism is about to happen?" Li Zhao exclaimed.

This scene is so similar, first the two discuss, and then investigate, all of which are plots of burning books and burying scholars.

The next moment, Li Zhao frowned, thinking: Didn't the burning of books and burying Confucianism happen in 213 BC?This moment is 210 BC, three years have passed, how could such a plot still happen?

Immediately, his heart jumped, and he thought of a possibility that history has changed, and the year of some events has changed.

This is not his wild imagination, think first!He has been reborn for so many years, and he has never heard of the incident of burning books and burying scholars. If he is still young and has not heard enough, it is understandable, but Fusu can't make a fake.

According to historical records, after burning books and burying Confucian scholars, Fusu Li advised him to protect Confucian scholars, but was sent to the north by the furious Qin Shihuang to assist Meng Tian in building the Great Wall and resisting the northern nomadic Huns.

That happened in 213 BC. According to historical development, Fusu should be in the north at this moment, but people are still in the court, which is totally unreasonable.

"Hey! I really don't know whether it is because of my rebirth that the history has changed or the history is like this. It's just that the records in the history books are wrong."

This question was a headache, so Li Zhao simply gave up thinking about it.

Anyway, cheating Confucianism has nothing to do with him. Those alchemists have done a lot of harm, so if they cheat, they will kill them.

It's just a pity that Fusu was implicated and sent to the north, and was given to death in the end, what a pity!
Sure enough, within a few days, news came from Xianyang that under the auspices of Li Si, the burning of books and censorship of Confucian scholars had happened, which aroused Li Zhao's emotion. Although the incident was delayed, the tragedy still happened.

It shows that there is no mistake in the history records, Qin Shihuang really practiced such a tyrannical government, for the common people, Qin Shihuang was violent, and Li Zhao also felt that Qin Shihuang was a bit cruel.

But after thinking about it, it was somewhat in line with Huang's character.

Anyone who cheated on him would definitely have such a reaction.The dream he pursued all his life suddenly vanished, all because of the alchemist's deceit, how could he bear it?

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