"Meng Yi, listen up!"
"I order you to exterminate Zhao Gao's family and investigate all of Zhao Gao's accomplices in the court. Anyone who colludes with Zhao Gao will be executed!”
"How dare you touch my son!"
"I'll kill his entire family!"
Ying Zheng slapped the dragon table and roared furiously!
"I! Receive the decree!"
When Meng Yi heard that he wanted him to investigate, it was exactly what he wanted.
Therefore, he cupped his hands and quickly received the edict!
"We're finished!"
Yan Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly went limp on the ground.
When the emperor was angry, millions of people died!
Xianyang City would probably welcome another bloody storm!
"Lord Yan, shall we go?"
"Follow me to the Supreme Court?”
After receiving the decree, Meng Yi directly looked at Grand Servant Yan Shun.
This old fellow was trying his best to speak up for Zhao Gao just now. He was very suspicious!
Moreover, they were both one of the Nine Ministers, but Yan Shun was Zhao Gao's trusted aide, a member of Huhai's camp.
They could be said to be enemies!
Usually, in the court, he would go against him!
"You…don't go too far!”
Yan Shun pointed at him, so angry that he did not know what to say.
If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would not have come to complain!
No matter what, she would not defend Zhao Gao!
Now, he had also lost himself!
……
"The implementation of benevolent government and the promotion of Confucianism are the foundation of governing the country!”
"The emperor has repeatedly imposed tyranny, causing the people of the six states to suffer. He even angered the heavens!”
"Just two nights ago, a heavenly lightning punishment struck the crown prince's residence!”
"This is a sign of the destruction of Qin!"
In the Sage Academy of Xianyang City, Zhang Liang was giving a lecture to a group of Confucian scholars.
He described some phenomena that he could not explain as the wrath of the heavens!
"Yes! I also saw it the night before yesterday. Not only was there lightning, but the moon also sent down heavenly punishment in the direction of the Crown Prince's residence!”
"Not only the night before yesterday, but the heavenly punishment also descended yesterday, and it was twice!”
"According to my family's servants, when the heavenly punishment descended yesterday, the Crown Prince was present!”
"It is said that the land reform and tax reform were proposed by the Crown Prince!”
"After angering the High Heavens, this Crown Prince probably won't have long to live!”
"After the Crown Prince is struck by lightning, it should be that tyrant's turn!”
"Concealing the land of a noble is simply a robbery! It would be strange if the heavens weren't angry!"
"My family has a thousand hectares of fertile land. They said that they would confiscate all of it and give it to those who don't have land. Isn't this robbery?”
"With the Imperial Court taking the lead to rob us, it looks like Great Qin's fate is about to end!”
The Confucian scholars whispered among themselves and began to curse Ying Zheng and his son!
Those who could afford to read were either rich or noble!
Those who could enter the Sage Academy to study were almost all children of nobles!
Therefore, the mention of the imperial court caused everyone to be extremely indignant!
"Tyranny has already angered the heavens and people, and Great Qin's fate is about to end. After returning, all disciples have to make preparations in advance to deal with the upcoming chaotic world!”
"If chaos begins, we, the disciples of the scholarly faction, should shoulder the responsibility of upholding justice!”
"Only by promoting Confucianism and pacifying the chaotic world can we open up the chaos and create a golden age!”
Seeing the righteous indignation of the Confucian scholars, Zhang Liang was very satisfied. He swept his gaze across the crowd and continued.
However, the words he said were very explicit, and it was obvious that he had the intention to rebel.
"That's right! Heroes are born in troubled times. After the fall of Qin, it will be a good opportunity for us to make contributions!”
"Among all the sects in the world, only my Confucian school can save the world!”
"To uphold justice, our scholarly faction is naturally duty-bound, but educating the people is also our scholarly faction's responsibility!”
"Yes! The common people are ignorant and need our enlightenment. Otherwise, how can we overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty?”
With Zhang Liang's head raised, the Confucian scholars below were even more unbridled.
They even started discussing how to overthrow Great Qin!
However, all of them were descendants of dignitaries. Their family's land was about to be confiscated. When the imperial court was mentioned, they gritted their teeth in hatred. Who would report it to the officials?
"Young Master, the commander of the Mo Family, Gao Jianli, requests an audience!”
At this moment, a servant walked in.
"Oh?"
Hearing the servant's words, Zhang Liang was slightly delighted. He then said a few perfunctory words to the Confucian scholars and hurriedly took his leave!
In the end, he saw Gao Jianli plucking his zither in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Beside Gao Jianli stood an old man.
"Long time no see!"
Zhang Liang cupped his hands and stepped forward to greet him. Then, he pointed at the old man and said,"This is…?"
"He's the Xiang Clan's Uncle Xiang!"
Gao Jianli introduced the two of them and then sat down.
"I wonder if Wei Zhuang is willing to abandon the darkness and join the light? Join hands with our Mohist School and Confucians to help us rebel against Qin?”
After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Gao Jianli directly stated his intention.
"Although Wei Zhuang and I built Quicksand together, I have been out for many years!”
"This matter cannot be rushed. We should consider it carefully!”
Zhang Liang shook his head and said slowly.
His meaning couldn't be clearer. He had to give him some more time!
"Alright then, I'll be waiting for Brother Zhang Liang's good news!”
Gao Jianli saw that he hadn't succeeded yet, so he couldn't rush him to his face. Hence, he could only change the topic."I heard that Zhao Gao was killed yesterday and the network was also massacred. Is this true?”
"I heard that it was done by Crown Prince Ying Ziye?”
Uncle Xiang also came over and asked with interest.
"This matter is absolutely true!"
"Zhao Gao killed many disciples of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. He deserves to die."
Zhang Liang nodded.
"With Zhao Gao's death, that tyrant Ying Zheng will lose a right-hand man. In the future, it will be much easier for us to start a rebellion!”
"That's right, it seems that Great Qin's fate has come to an end!”
After the news was confirmed, Gao Jianli and Uncle Xiang nodded excitedly.
The net was like a huge rock hanging over the heads of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, ready to fall at any moment.
Now that they had been moved away, they were naturally extremely happy!
"Crash…!"
However, just as they were chatting happily, the sound of war suddenly rang out outside the Sage Academy.
"What happened?"
Uncle Xiang, who had been a little excited just a moment ago, immediately panicked when he heard the voice.
"Don't worry, the Imperial Court has been capturing the remnants of Zhao Gao for the past two days.”
Zhang Liang calmly waved his hand, indicating that he did not have to be afraid.
"So what if they're coming for us?”
"How can a mere army stop me?”
Gao Jianli gently plucked the strings of the zither and said with a cold and arrogant expression. That calm and composed appearance seemed to not take Qin Jun seriously at all!
"Surround the Sage Academy. Archers, get ready!”
However, just as he finished speaking, a shout came from outside!
