Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 374 Shame and Resentment, Righteousness! (four thousand words)

"Then, is it appropriate to dig the tomb of Confucius?" Gu looked a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?! Law and Confucianism don't want to tolerate it, and Confucius is the person who founded the Confucian school. If the tomb of Confucius is allowed to exist, in time, Confucian scholars will come to visit. Over time, the influence of Confucianism here will not only gain If it is not contained, it will be further promoted, and besides, is there anything more convenient than the old master's tomb in Kongli?" Yang Wu looked indifferent.

As a member of the army, he never shy away from these.

It is also impossible to be taboo.

Gu said: "Since the Warring States period, some people have called Confucius a sage of learning, especially the scholars of Qilu respected Confucius even more. If we dig up the tomb of Confucius, I am afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the local people."

Solid some worry.

As an official of Legalism, he has no good impression of Confucianism.

But since ancient times, Huaxia has always held that the dead are the greatest. Although he doesn't have much respect for Confucius, he still doesn't approve of grave digging in general.

This move was a bit too barbaric and cruel.

What they did was to arrest Confucianists and search related books.

It would be wrong to focus on digging graves now.

Yang Wu said coldly:
"The law is the most important thing in state affairs. If you think it's inappropriate, you don't have to participate. I will do the grave digging."

"I just want to see how sacred this so-called 'sage of learning' is, and I have heard it said before that the name of Confucius' so-called sage was originally named by Confucian disciples, that is to say, Confucius is actually just an ordinary person. , is not worthy of such a title at all.”

Yang Wu took care of everything.

Qin Luoheng was listening.

He looked at the woods not far away, his eyes were a little dignified.

Grave digging?

He hadn't actually thought about it.

But Yang Wu's words moved him.

Compared with other counties and counties in Shandong, Qilu was more deeply influenced by Confucianism.

The existence of the Confucius Tomb has become a "pilgrimage" place for many Confucian scholars. As long as the Confucius Tomb is still there, it will be difficult to completely eradicate the influence of Confucianism. The imperial court will definitely block and block Confucianism. If the tomb of Confucius is still there, all the imperial court's targeting of Confucianism will be 'purifying' Confucian students.

He has to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

a long time.

Qin Luoheng finally made up his mind.

"After traveling all the way, and burning the old palace of Confucius overnight, the soldiers are already exhausted. Let's go back and rest for a while, and wait for the afternoon. First open the walls around Confucius, and then open the tomb!"

Qin Luoheng made a complete decision.

Yang Wu's face was overjoyed, and he said hastily: "The officials take orders."

Gu sighed softly and agreed.

Immediately, Qin Luoheng led the team to Lu County.

When they arrived at the county town of Lu County, the magistrate of Lu County brought the county officials to greet them early. Qin Luoheng didn't talk to them, but simply gave a few orders, and then went straight to the resting place.

After eating, I also put on my clothes and went to sleep.

Lu County fell into a calm state.

And the other side.

Seeing Qin Zu leaving, Kong Yu and others who were hiding also scattered away.

However, unlike other Confucian scholars, Zixiang did not want to stay in Lu County, but wanted to escape from Lu County, or even Xue County.

Kong Yu said with a puzzled face:
"Brother Xiang, what do you mean?"

"Now the government is strictly investigating us, but we have a deep foundation in Lu County. It is easy to escape the investigation by staying in other people's homes. When Qin Luoheng leaves, we can go back. You left at this time, a little careless , it may be discovered by others, and it will not be harming yourself by then?"

"Even if you are really uneasy, why rush for a while?"

Zixiang looked at Kong Yu and sighed softly: "Brother, the situation is different this time."

"Our Confucianism is indeed deeply rooted in the local area, and even the officials in Lu County will inform us, but do you really think that Qin Luoheng will just leave in embarrassment if he can't find anyone?"

"impossible!!!"

Kong Yu frowned and said doubtfully:
"Why?"

"I can't find anyone and I want to leave. Does he still want to stay in Lu County for a long time?"

"Furthermore, even if he intends to stay for a long time, you and I know his identity. Even if he intends to stay, why would Shi Huang let him stay in Lu County forever?"

"What are you worried about?"

"And did you notice something?"

Zixiang took a deep breath and finally nodded.

He said:
"I already guessed what the nobles of the six countries are planning."

"They're plotting against Qin Luoheng!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the nobles of the six countries have already known Qin Luoheng's true identity. They are using my Confucianism as a bait this time, and want to kill Qin Luoheng directly in Lu County while Qin Luoheng is unprepared!"

"even."

"The nobles of the six countries also intend to use Qin Luoheng's hand to get rid of our Confucian people."

"Now Lu County has become a huge vortex of life and death. If you are not careful, you may die unexpectedly. Among these three parties, my Confucianism is the most vulnerable party. No matter what the final situation is, my Confucianism will bear the brunt."

"Brother, you underestimate this incident!"

heard.

Kong Yu's face changed in shock.

He said in a concentrated voice:

"The nobles of the six countries know Qin Luoheng's identity?"

"how can that be?"

"Not many people knew about this when we were in Xianyang. How did they know about it?"

"And aren't we allies with the nobles of the Six Nations? Why do they plot against us? The nobles of the Six Nations have paid a lot for Confucianism these years?"

Kong Yu couldn't believe it.

Zixiang said:
"Although I don't know how the nobles of the six countries knew, they should have known, otherwise this incident would not be explained."

"We were indeed allies with the nobles of the Six Nations in the past, but this time is not the same time as that. They used to cooperate with us because they were mutually beneficial, but we, Confucianism, have always been unwilling to be completely attached. How could the nobles of the Six Nations be willing to do so? ?”

"It's just that they couldn't do anything to us at that time, but now it's Qin Ting who is doing it. They can use Qin Luoheng's hand to get rid of us. Without us, Confucianism may only be completely attached to the nobles of the six countries in the future. .”

"And this is what the nobles of the Six Nations have always wanted to do."

Kong Yu's face was extremely ugly.

Zixiang said again:

"I know my brother doesn't want to leave."

"But today's Lu County has become a place of right and wrong."

"The current situation has not developed rapidly, but when the nobles of the six countries take action, the situation will become more and more out of control, and it will be difficult for us to leave."

"If Qin Luoheng really died here."

"Given the cruelty of the first emperor, I am afraid that people in the entire Lu County will be buried with him."

"The First Emperor could do this kind of thing."

"In the case of Puyang, the first emperor ordered the killing of the people in the surrounding ten miles. If something happened to Qin Luoheng, the first emperor would be furious, not to mention Lu County, even the entire Xue County would be doomed."

"If Qin Luoheng is not dead."

"After escaping from the dead, how could he not take revenge?"

"Now the people of Lu County choose to protect us because they are close to my Confucianism, but if they endanger their own life and death, I am afraid they will immediately hand us over, and we will have no escape at that time."

"And brother, don't underestimate Qin Luoheng."

"He is the one who manages the scholar's event."

"Can talk to those scholars who are well-known all over the world, and they don't lose the wind in the slightest. How can such a person be treated lightly?"

"And he probably won't stop until he achieves his goal."

"Qin Luoheng is very clear about one thing. Daqin is in the midst of wind and rain, and no accidents can be tolerated. He will not allow things to shake Qin Ting's prestige. If nothing happens this time, the harm to Daqin will undoubtedly be huge. If it's huge, if it's an ordinary official, maybe it's really sloppy, but Qin Luoheng is the tenth son of the Great Qin Dynasty, he will definitely not allow this to happen."

"Because the impact of this incident is too bad! It is too big a blow to Daqin's prestige!"

"If this matter spreads out, Qin Ting will only lose face."

"The reason why Daqin is able to hold on now is because of the strength of Qin's pawns and the prestige of the first emperor, but now that Qin's pawns are making a big move and can't catch anyone, doesn't this imply that Daqin has fallen into decline?"

"I can see this, how can Qin Luoheng not?"

"He's bound to make a difference."

"The longer we stay in Lu County, the greater the possibility of exposure and the greater the probability of accidents. Everyone in Confucianism can have accidents, but you and my brothers can't. If we have accidents, Confucianism will completely decline. .”

"Confucianism will also be completely reduced to a vassal."

"We have no choice!"

"The situation is now on the verge of eruption, and this is the best time for us to escape. Once we miss it, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky."

"Brother, don't hesitate any longer."

"We don't have that much time to think about it."

Kong Yu's eyes were dazed.

He never thought that this time it would be so serious.

It can affect the general trend of the world.

He just thought about it for a while, and then he felt a chill down his spine, and even felt a little creepy, he quickly said: "Brother Xiang is very considerate, it's because of my brother's lack of consideration."

"I'm going to tell the others to leave now."

Zixiang said:
"What time is it, brother? Are you still thinking about other people?"

"When disaster strikes, fly separately."

"Other Confucian scholars are not important at all, and someone must come forward to take responsibility for this matter. If my brother tells other Confucian scholars, once these Confucian scholars escape, they will only hurt more in the end. They have used my Confucianism all these years. , now it’s time for them to make some sacrifices for the school.”

"This time, Confucian scholars will definitely die."

Kong Yu looked at Zixiang in amazement, as if he didn't expect that these words came from Zixiang's mouth.

Zixiang said coldly:
"Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?"

"But up to now, it can only be done by a strong man."

"And brother, have you considered that if all the Confucianists escaped and Qin Luoheng survived in the end, where would he vent his anger in the end?"

Kong Yu was taken aback.

Shaking his head, he said, "There seems to be no place to vent."

"Yes!" Zixiang said grimly, "And it's very important to us."

"It is the tomb of the ancestors."

heard.

Kong Yu's complexion changed drastically.

Shocked and angry:

"He dares."

"The ancestor is a 'saint', how dare he touch the tomb of our ancestors?"

Zixiang shook his head and said:
"The ancestors are naturally saints, but the ancestors are only the saints of our Confucianism, not the saints of the world. Our Confucianists naturally respect our ancestors, but Qin Luoheng adheres to Legalism. How can he have respect for his ancestors?"

"At that time, Qin Luoheng can't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he will definitely vent his anger on the tomb of his ancestors."

"Brother, if you tell other Confucian scholars about this and let them all flee, then you are really trying to destroy my Confucianism, or even deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors."

"even"

"Qin Ting can directly abandon the ancestor's bones in the wilderness. Will I go and collect the ancestor's bones? If I don't go, wouldn't I be an unfilial person? If I go, wouldn't I be throwing myself into a trap?"

"We don't know Qin Luoheng's thoughts."

"The only thing we can do is to protect ourselves and let other Confucian scholars die. As long as enough Confucian scholars are 'caught', Qin Luoheng may stop because of this. At that time, we can also preserve the tomb of our ancestors, otherwise you The two of my brothers are afraid that they will be completely set on the pillar of shame of Confucianism, humiliated by the world, and after death, they will not even dare to face the ancestors of Confucianism."

"Brother, how dare you do this?"

Kong Yu's complexion turned pale.

He also understood it completely.

Zixiang didn't want other people to flee with him, and even wanted them to die, so as to preserve the tomb of his ancestors.

This idea is too vicious.

but.
Kong Yu exhausted his brains, but couldn't find a better solution.

Unfilial, unrighteous.

They are destined to carry one at this time.

Kong Yu was crying and mournful, tears were falling like rain.

Lamented:

"My Confucian school of sages, why did I fall to this point?"

"Woohoo sad!!!"

Zixiang sighed:

"Brother, the situation dictates, what can you do?"

"Mencius said: The heart of shame and evil is righteousness!"

"Righteousness is inherent in human beings, and it may be able to decide death and life in times of crisis, but it is inevitable to make an appointment at the time of banquets and peace. Therefore, a gentleman should not fail to reflect on this for a moment."

"However, at this time, it is about my Confucian life and death. Between life and death, how can we forget the Dao because of small righteousness?"

"Mencius once said: 'If people want nothing more than life, why not use it for those who can live?' We are not sages, but ordinary people. Why should we treat them with the standards of sages?"

"Brother, don't be too sad."

"If brother really wants to blame, everything will be attributed to me."

"I will bear it."

Kong Yu looked at Zixiang, shook his head and said, "I am an elder brother, how could I let you bear the burden, if you hadn't pointed it out, I'm afraid I would never have seen it, but if we leave Lu County, where can we go? "

"You also said that the nobles of the six countries don't like us, and we will become criminals in the future. If the nobles of the six countries have malicious intentions and directly sue us, or directly solve them, we may have nothing to do."

Kong Yu looked sad.

Zixiang's expression was also serious.

He said:
"Not yet."

"What the nobles of the six countries want is the complete restoration of my Confucianism. After this incident, my Confucianism will decline greatly. Unless the world is really in chaos, we can only rely on others."

Kong Yu let out a sigh.

Desperately said:
"If you stayed in Xianyang back then, why did you end up here?"

"That's it."

"We're leaving now."

"I just hope that other Confucian scholars will react more slowly. Otherwise, if the tomb of the ancestors is destroyed because of this, how can I have the face to meet the ancestors underground after my death?"

"I, Kong Yu, am a sinner of Confucianism!!!"

Hearing this, Zixiang could only sigh faintly.

Three poles in the sun.

The once crowded room was empty.
