"Continue!"
"Yes!"
Eunuch Zhang's forehead was covered in sweat, but he continued to complain bitterly.
Who knew why he would become the chief eunuch after Zhao Gao?
He didn't want that at all.
Other than the monthly allowance, what else was good about it?
He had his head tied to his belt every day.
He really did not know when he would die.
" After Young Master Chu ordered some wine to be served to the scholars, he left them in the pavilion for more than four hours. Then, he went to the pavilion with Zhang Han and talked about the treasures and the two maids."
"Treasures and maids?"
The First Emperor's voice wasn't loud, but it scared Eunuch Zhang so much that his entire body trembled.
He knew that the First Emperor would react after hearing this.
A bunch of scholars discussing wealth and women with a child like Young Master Chu?
When he first heard the news, he was stunned for a while.
Fortunately, this was not the case. Otherwise, he would not dare to say this in front of the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this matter was proposed by Young Master Chu Xian. He said that whoever could make a couplet would be given two maids and ten thousand taels of gold.”
"Yes, and then? What does the couplet mean?"
His flat voice made the other party heave a sigh of relief.
Then, he immediately explained.
" The couplet was first proposed by Young Master Chu. He said it was another form of the peach talisman…"
"After that, Gongzi Chu even ordered someone to write a bet. After everyone signed and pressed their fingerprints, he ordered someone to take out the first half of the couplet.'Sit quietly and think about your wrongdoings.'"
"Meditate and reflect on your mistakes?" Qin Shi Huang muttered.
Although he didn't know much about the Confucian school of thought, this sentence was clearly a Confucian school of thought.
When did Chu 'er come into contact with the Confucians?
Could it be that he was also optimistic about Confucianism?
While he was deep in thought, Eunuch Zhang was still talking to himself.
"Everyone who came up with the second half of the couplet, Young Master Chu clapped his hands happily and praised them. Later on, after everyone came up with the second half of the couplet, Young Master Chu raised another question. He said that everyone was talented, but the ten thousand taels of gold and the maidservant could only belong to one person.”
"To whom?"
Vaguely, Shi Huang had a bad guess.
These scholars wouldn't fight over ten thousand taels of gold and a woman, right?
Weren't they always self-righteous?
"Then, a group of scholars started arguing in the pavilion and started beating each other up.”
How could that be?
Qin Shi Huang was fine, but he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
However, Eunuch Zhang was different. Even though he had known about this long ago, he still found it unbelievable when he said it again.
He had never seen a group of scholars quarrel over the so-called "common things".
He really wanted to see that scene!
" Later, because the pavilion was too crowded, most of the scholars fell into the water. According to the news, everyone seemed to have woken up in an instant-"
"Instant awakening?"
"You mean what they did just now was not their intention?" The First Emperor suddenly interrupted.”
He had already felt that it was strange. Scholars always cherished their feathers, so why would they make a bet with Chu 'er at such an important moment like choosing a teacher?
Moreover, the contents of the bet were mundane things like money and women, and they even fought for them.
Now that he thought about it, Chu 'er must have done something.
"Your Majesty, that's what the news said, but we don't know the exact reason.”
"Since you don't know, let's continue over there.”
After saying that, the First Emperor stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, Chu 'er would be back in a while, so he would just ask him again.
" Coincidentally, Young Master Chu took out the bet that everyone had signed earlier. It was written clearly in black and white. The scholars no longer said that they were here today to teach Young Master Chu.”
"But their expressions were very ugly. At this time, Young Master Chu said that while everyone was arguing, he suddenly thought of a second line and hoped that all the scholars could appreciate it.”
"Oh? Chu 'er wrote it too?"
Although it was a question, Shi Huang did not look surprised.
At this point, the situation was already obvious.
Those scholars had probably fallen into Chu 'er's trap from the very beginning.
He had been toyed with.
Who knew if Chu 'er was too smart or if those scholars were all idiots, they had no ink in their hearts.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Gongzi Chu's writing is very interesting. He has directly surpassed all the scholars on the opposite side.”
"Tell me, what did he write?"
"Don't talk about people's faults!"
Shi Huang shook his head with a smile.
Why did he suspect that Chu 'er had a good impression of Confucianism?
Now, it seemed like nonsense.
The first verse said that one should be strict with oneself, reflect on oneself at all times, and be alert to oneself.
The second part of the couplet is about treating people generously and not discussing the length of others.
Those scholars today, especially those from the Confucian school, would probably have their expressions change when they thought of what he had done today.
He had never known that using the Confucian school of thought to scold people would make one feel so good.
"This child, Chu 'er, I shouldn't have agreed to his request to choose his own master.”
Eunuch Zhang didn't dare to say these words. Didn't he see the unprecedented lightness in the Emperor's words?
He was obviously in a good mood.
" Your Majesty, Young Master Chu is talented and knowledgeable. He is not someone that those pedantic scholars can compare to…"
"Pfft! I didn't say anything about him, but you're protecting him first?”
"However…his couplet is quite good!”
While praising Ying Chu, Shi Huang also noticed a problem.
None of those scholars were worthy of being Chu 'er's master.
He looked for scholars to teach Chu 'er, but these people were actually scammed by the young Chu' er, and in the end, they even fell into Chu 'er's hands.
Such a bunch of fools were not qualified to be Chu 'er's master, nor did they have the capital to teach him.
"It seems that Chu 'er's teacher is really not easy to find.”
The First Emperor muttered in his heart, but his mind was already thinking about some reclusive expert.
Chu 'er's talent in literature was needless to mention. If she was not a truly knowledgeable person, she was not worthy of teaching him.
However, from the looks of it, there were no outstanding scholars among the representatives of Legalism.
After all, apart from the Confucians, the majority of those who went to the Imperial Family Courtyard were Legalists.
Chu 'er also knew about this, but he still chose to play with everyone. Presumably, he did not have any thoughts about the Legalism School.
The scholarly faction had a few great scholars who lived in seclusion, but he didn't like them. Chu 'er was the same as him, so she naturally didn't like them either.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have humiliated them in front of the Chinese scholars.
