Xianyang City.
At the Confucian School.
"Everyone, what do you think of His Majesty's recent announcement to set up the ranks of officials and include them in the assessment of the imperial censors?”
The doctor asked with a frown.
"What other reason could there be?"
"It must be that His Majesty finally realized that he lacked talent and began to put our scholarly faction in an important position!”
Doctor Shu Suntong had a smug look on his face as he said,""Those officials who have been transferred from military merits and titles don't even know how to read. They only know how to torture and extort confessions when they go to court to try cases. How can they be good parents?”
"Exactly!"
"Since ancient times, we have indeed relied on martial arts to conquer the world, but to govern the world well, we have to be virtuous civil officials!”
"In the entire world, nine out of ten scholars come from our scholarly faction. Without us, where would the Qin Emperor find so many talented people?
Isn't this the opportunity we've been waiting for?”
"Since the Qin Emperor has already given in, everyone, why don't we work harder and ask His Majesty to reconsider the matter of meritorious officials guarding the border and educating the people?”
The other Grand Confucians were also filled with joy as they spoke one after another.
"Alright, I'll write a letter now and request His Majesty to re-implement the enfeoffment system!”
"As long as Your Majesty agrees, the millions of scholars of the scholarly faction are willing to rule the world with Your Majesty!”
Shu Suntong said excitedly.
As long as the matter of enfeoffment could be carried out, his influence in the scholarly faction and the imperial court would increase greatly, and his fame and wealth would definitely roll in.
The reason why the Confucians had always advocated the enfeoffment system was not because they did not know the advantages of the prefecture and county system, but because once the prefecture and county system was promoted, the power of Xianyang City would be infinitely expanded, and the voice of the local tyrants would be greatly weakened.
Although they could still rely on bribing local officials to achieve certain privileges, where was the prestige of the former Zhou Dynasty's vassals who acted on their own and dominated the world?
As the Confucians had deep ties with the aristocratic families and clans, they naturally had to speak up for the financial backer behind the scenes.
Moreover, the existence of many dukes allowed the scholarly faction to dominate the other factions and maintain its status as the only prominent school.
"Last time, we actually mobilized hundreds of thousands of students, but the effect was still not particularly good!”
"Although Li Si's proposal to burn the books has been rejected, he is still the Left Prime Minister and could write another letter at any time!”
"In addition, the current Qin Emperor has a violent personality and is narrow-minded. If we are too tough, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect!”
"Why don't we ask Eldest Young Master Fu Su to write a letter on our behalf? The effect might be better!”
Chunyu Yue pondered for a long time before speaking.
"As expected, Lord Pushe is more mature and steady!”
"Besides the Eldest Young Master, we can also make use of the necromancers such as Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, who are deeply trusted by His Majesty!”
"It is said that the change in the route of the eastern convoy is closely related to the revival of an alchemist in Sanchuan Prefecture. It can be seen how much His Majesty hopes for the Immortal Elixir of Longevity!”
Grand Scholar Fu Sheng echoed.
"Very good, then we will add one more condition. The enfeoffment system is the one advocated by the Heavenly Dao. As long as Your Majesty is willing to rule the world with the princes and meritorious officials, you can at least enjoy the same 800 years of luck as the Zhou Dynasty!”
Chunyu Yue nodded in satisfaction and said confidently.
The so-called necromancers were originally people who could not learn literature from the Confucians and changed to study unorthodox ways. Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, and the others had relied on the Confucians to get an audience with the Qin Emperor. With all the evidence in the Confucians 'hands, there was no need to worry about them not listening.
...
Zhongche Mansion.
"Father-in-law, it seems that the group of Confucian scholars are going to cause trouble again!”
" Not only did Dr. Chunyu Yue and the others enter the Eldest Young Master and the Alchemist's Residence many times, but they also spread the idea that enfeoffment is the trend everywhere in Xianyang City. If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid..."
Yan Le rushed into the main hall with an anxious expression.
As the magistrate of Xianyang, he would not be able to escape once the First Emperor investigated the matter.
"What are you afraid of!"
"These Confucians must have their own reasons for causing such a huge commotion!”
"Moreover, even Young Master Lian is involved. What can you do?”
Zhao Gao waved his hand indifferently.
"Father-in-law means to let him go, no, to help His Highness?”
Yan Le looked around and asked in a low voice after confirming that there was no one around.
As Zhao Gao's son-in-law, he knew very well that although the First Emperor had eighteen sons, there were not many who were decent.
The only person who could truly pose a threat to Huhai's bid for the throne was the renowned Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, who was supported by the Confucian Sect.
If he could use this opportunity to make Fu Su lose the Emperor's favor, it would be Huhai's best chance.
"Looks like you've made some progress during this period of time!”
"A mere Xianyang Order is nothing. As long as the 18th Prince ascends to the throne, there will be no good position for you in the future.”
Zhao Gao laughed.
"Then what should I do?"
With Zhao Gao's assurance, Yan Le heaved a sigh of relief and asked.
"Of course, it's to help His Highness and those stupid Confucian scholars!”
"But remember, we must not leave any traces behind. We must not let anyone find out that we did it!" Zhao Gao laughed sinisterly.”
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Don't look at those Confucian scholars as they are all dignified and dignified.”
"Moreover, Chunyu Yue and the others have mobilized a large number of Confucian scholars from all over the world to Xianyang in order to increase their influence. The travel passes have to be approved by the Xianyang Order, so it's easy to fish in troubled waters!”
Yan Le hurriedly said.
"Very good!"
Zhao Gao nodded in satisfaction and suddenly said,""Last time, I asked you to arrange for me to send a beauty to that necromancer, Su Sheng. Is there any progress?”
"Father-in-law has personally instructed me, how can I dare to neglect it!”
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. When our people arrived in Dang County, we heard that there's a Lu family in Danfu County. Their two daughters are in their prime and are beautiful. They can be used as gifts for rebirth!”
"Could it be that Lady Lu has an old friendship with Marquis Wenxin?”
Zhao Gao frowned.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Although that single father Lu also claims to be the descendant of Jiang Shang and makes a living from business, he is definitely a distant relative of Lu Buwei who hasn't contacted him for hundreds of years!”
Yan Le quickly said," Moreover, the Lu Family is involved in a case. Now, the entire family is in prison. There's no need to worry about the two women of the Lu Family not cooperating!"”
"That's good!"
"Remember, you must get that woman surnamed Lu to find out everything about Resurrection!”
Hearing that it wasn't the old rival he was worried about, Zhao Gao heaved a sigh of relief.
It was just a merchant family, and it was nothing in Great Qin. If it fell into the hands of the Zhongche Manor, how could it cause any trouble?
Even Su Han, in Zhao Gao's eyes, was just an alchemist who was as good at swindling as Xu Fu.
The reason why Yan Le had used the honey trap was because he was not by the First Emperor's side, so he had an additional channel to speak and a scapegoat in the future!
