Da Qin: Mythology and Immortal Cultivation, Starting with the Lu Sisters

Chapter 104: Kill with a borrowed knife, take advantage of the situation!

Xianyang Palace.

"Sir, let's not talk about the practice for now."

Ying Zheng resisted the urge to continue practicing and then started talking about business.

He looked at Zhao Chen and explained:

"The alchemist's matter has been investigated clearly. All the alchemists who participated in slander, criticism, and committed crimes such as deceiving the emperor have been imprisoned."

"At the same time, no less than a hundred Confucian scholars participated in it and fanned the flames."

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

All in all, it's almost the same.

The "book burning" that eliminated private schools has been solved by him.

Even if Li Si had more words, there was nothing he could do.

Ying Zheng had already made a decision, so it was impossible for Li Si to say anything more.

And the "trap Confucianism" incident in which the alchemists and some Confucian scholars rebelled has come now.

If it is not handled properly, it will undoubtedly make Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, stand on the opposite side of the majority of Confucian scholars.

Although Ying Zheng does not need to worry about the Confucian scholar group, it has to be said that reputation will definitely have a great impact.

Zhao Chen knew very well how these groups of Confucian scholars, with the pen of history books, turned the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who had many achievements, into an eternal tyrant.

If you don't handle it well, you will undoubtedly create great hidden dangers for yourself.

The existence of the Confucian scholar group has made it impossible for them to disappear.

Then we can only think of ways to make use of it.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with these alchemists and some Confucian scholars?"

Zhao Chen knew that Ying Zheng already had an idea to deal with it, but considering the group of Confucian scholars and the plans he had mentioned to him before, he did not directly implement it.

Now, if I come to ask directly, I also plan to take action.

"Kill in a trap to serve as a warning to others!"

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

These alchemists enjoyed many rewards and boasted all over the sea, but they had no results at all.

The refined elixirs were all poisonous and almost killed him.

Not only did the alchemists not know what his fault was, they also slandered and criticized him, thinking that his moral character was very bad, and they also threw dirty water at Zhao Chen, the master of the Qin Dynasty, which really made him extremely angry!

There were also some Confucian scholars who participated in the matter with the alchemists, fanning the flames and slandering them indiscriminately, which really made Ying Zheng very angry.

He believed that he had given preferential treatment to the Confucian students.

As a result, these groups of Confucian scholars, including those great Confucians, have never known how to be grateful, nor have they made any contributions, and they have done so in turn.

Mad!
Ying Zheng is determined to use this entrapment and killing to frighten these Confucian scholars!

"Your Majesty, the alchemist refined poisonous elixirs to poison your dragon body. This is a direct threat. He also used words to slander and criticize your character, and turned a deaf ear to the rewards he received."

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment and then said to Ying Zheng:

"The alchemists such as Lu Sheng can be dealt with directly according to the law, and they do not necessarily need to be killed. And those Confucian scholars who fanned the flames and participated in this matter for fear that the world will not be chaotic should also receive the punishment they deserve, but it will not reach the level of traps. To the point of killing.”

"Therefore, my suggestion is to first let Chun Yuyue and other Ph.D. scholars punish the Confucian students who committed the crime."

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this.

It feels a bit inappropriate to let Chun Yuyue and other great scholars deal with those Confucian students who committed crimes.

Those people would definitely not let these guilty Confucian scholars be put to death.

The seriousness of the alchemists and the Confucian scholars who committed the crimes could be punished by death.

However, the method of execution is different. "Your Majesty, if you unilaterally directly kill these Confucian scholars who have committed crimes, it will undoubtedly be a great threat to the majority of Confucian scholars, and they are afraid of following in the same footsteps."

Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said:

"Let the Confucian scholars resolve the matter within the group first, and then use the Qin Law to investigate and punish the matter in a reasonable and consistent manner. In this way, the pressure will fall on Chunyu Yue and other great Confucian scholars."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he still didn't quite understand.

Those great Confucians will definitely not deal with these Confucian scholars who commit crimes very seriously.

In the end, he still had to give the order and kill him according to the law.

Even if there is any problem, he will still think that he is wrong.

If there are any rumors, I think they will appear in him, the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't forget."

Zhao Chen knew that Ying Zheng had not remembered a situation, so he also reminded:
"The abolition of the Confucian scholar discussion system has made Chunyu Yue and other great Confucian scholars uneasy. At this time, His Majesty has given Chun Yuyue and other great Confucian scholars a task to deal with the group of Confucian students. Do you think he dares to practice favoritism and malpractice?"

Obviously, this is to transfer the risk from Ying Zheng, the first emperor who ordered the execution according to the law, to the great Confucianism within the Confucian scholar group.

Those Confucian scholars who committed crimes will definitely pay a heavy price for their previous actions.

The decisions made by those great scholars greatly affected subsequent development.

In order not to offend Ying Zheng and return to the Qin Dynasty, the Confucian scholars must take decisive measures to internally punish those Confucian scholars who committed crimes.

After all, these Confucian scholars did commit a crime and made the dragon angry.

Not directly trapping and killing them was already giving these great Confucians face.

If you don't do things well and deal with the culprits among the Confucian scholars, then don't even think about returning to the Qin Dynasty. You can also take advantage of the situation and suppress these great Confucians, which will greatly reduce their reputation within the Confucian scholar community.

Even if these Confucian scholars committed crimes, the power of disposal was delegated to the great Confucians by Ying Zheng, the First Emperor.

If these great Confucian scholars cannot protect Confucian scholars who commit crimes, a sense of crisis will permeate the Confucian scholar community.

The Great Confucian will no longer be a trustworthy person among the Confucian scholars. At this moment, he can directly take advantage of the situation and open the door to a prosperous age for the people of the Qin Empire to study, allowing Ying Zheng to start the road to sainthood!
Great Confucianism is unreliable, you have to rely on saints!
After this wave of operations, it was enough for the Confucian scholar group to be used by Ying Zheng.

"So it is!"

Ying Zheng suddenly realized it, and he said why Zhao Chen didn't pay too much attention to what Fang Shi was doing, but instead focused on the Confucian scholar who committed the crime behind him.

Such an approach can undoubtedly make the great Confucians turn away from their moral principles within the group of Confucian scholars.

If these great Confucian scholars violate the rule of law, the crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting their superiors will become a sharp sword hanging around their necks and take their names.

In the Great Qin Dynasty, we can also follow the trend and completely optimize the discussion system of doctors and Confucian students.

It is logical to reduce the various status advantages of the Confucian scholar group.

In the Qin Empire, no matter who it was, the First Emperor should be the center.

Let alone a great Confucian, even if a saint comes, he has to do this.

Ying Zheng really never thought that he could use this strategy to target the Confucian group.

If this kind of thing is arranged, it will undoubtedly cause serious damage to the Confucian scholar group.

"Sir, if these great scholars knew about this method, they would definitely be so angry that they would gnash their teeth."

Ying Zheng laughed, it was quite interesting to let the great scholars be the bad guys.

In any case, the power of the Confucian scholar group can be weakened.

Therefore, take advantage of the situation and use it directly.

With it in their hands, it would be impossible for these Confucian scholars to continue to be as they were before.

"But, sir."

Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked:
“How can we make use of the Confucian scholar community so that we can use it as we please?
