" It's simply delicious!"
Li Si swallowed the last piece of roasted mutton on his plate and narrowed his eyes, savoring the aftertaste.
It was a pity that he was old and his appetite was not as good as before. Otherwise, he would have wanted another piece!
The roast lamb was very spicy.
Moreover, it wasn't the wasabi that he often ate. It tasted very delicious.
"I didn't expect the divine doctor to be so good at cooking barbecued meat as well!”
Li Si's words were filled with flattery and heartfelt praise.
To be honest, this roast lamb was the best food he had ever eaten in his life!
"The children of poor families take care of their families early. Practice makes perfect.
Since young, he had been drifting with his master. How could he have the opportunity to provide for him? He had to rely on himself for everything. Otherwise, he would have starved to death long ago.”
Qin Mu put down his wine cup, and his face revealed a look of reminiscence.
On the way to Xianyang, he really suffered a lot!
The First Emperor felt extremely sad.
The eldest son of the Great Qin Empire should have been living a luxurious life.
However, because of a rebellion, he had been homeless for more than ten years. He had done everything himself and suffered a lot.
A resonance arose in his heart.
Back when he was a hostage in Handan, at least he had his mother and Dong 'er by his side.
The eldest son in front of him was living a more bitter life than he had back then.
Deep guilt rose in his heart.
The atmosphere instantly turned heavy.
"Why is Your Majesty here?”
Qin Mu felt the awkwardness in the atmosphere and hurriedly changed the topic.
The Great Qin Empire had just been unified, and the First Emperor was busy every day. He reviewed 120 catties of official documents every day!
Even when he was resting, he would insist on talking about life ideals with the concubines in the harem to soothe their lonely hearts.
Why did he suddenly have the time to leave the palace and come to his house?
Strange…very strange…
"Humph!"
The First Emperor harrumphed coldly, and his dignified face revealed anger.
"It's all because of those Confucian scholars!" he scolded angrily.”
"Confucian scholar?"
Qin Mu's heart jumped, and four words popped out in his mind: Burning books and burying scholars!
Counting the time, it seemed to be a few years later.
However, it also confirmed a problem.
Those Confucians had been courting death ever since the unification of the world. It was only when the Emperor could not take it anymore that he killed them!
Qin Mu wasn't interested in the scholarly faction.
This was especially true for the eldest son of the Great Qin Empire, Fusu, who had been educated in Confucianism since he was young. This was a classic example, and he was even less interested in it.
Otherwise, after the Emperor passed away, the Eldest Young Master would be the first in line to inherit the throne.
He also had 300,000 elite border troops and the support of a group of courtiers in the court. He also had a reputation among the people.
It was simply a king's opening.
However, the dignified Eldest Young Master of the Great Qin Empire had been fooled by Confucianism.
He had already guessed that the Emperor might have passed away, and he also knew that the Emperor would never send him to his death.
Ignoring Meng Tian's repeated reminders that there was something fishy about this matter, he still chose to commit suicide.
Wang Zha's opening had actually caused him to directly log off!
If it wasn't for the fact that their ideologies had been fooled by the Confucians, would they have done such a stupid thing?
It was normal for the Emperor to leave the palace in anger because of the words of those Confucian scholars.
If the First Emperor knew that he would be written as the first tyrant in history by these Confucian scholars more than ten years later…
He would probably kill them now!
"What are the Confucians up to this time?”
Qin Mu wasn't surprised at all. He was just curious about what they were causing a ruckus about.
"Humph!"
The First Emperor snorted coldly, as if he was even angrier at the thought of those Confucian scholars.
" The Confucians want Your Majesty to enfeoffe the vassals according to the Zhou ritual system," Li Si explained in a low voice.”
The emperor wanted to implement a central power system, to unify the written language, and to unify the thinking.
The Hundred Schools of Philosophy had always been a headache.
"Enfeoffment of dukes doesn't benefit them at all. A group of people who fish for fame!”
Qin Mu curled his lips, his eyes filled with disdain.
He secretly complained in his heart,[These pedantic scholars should just focus on their studies. Why do they have to stir up the political situation? The knowledge they produce is no longer pure. They even put forward some naive and strange theories.]
As expected, the brick houses all had their own legacies!
The First Emperor saw his eldest son's disdain for the Confucian scholars and immediately comforted him.
In the palace, he was furious that Fu Su was speaking up for the Confucian scholars!
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
The more he looked at this son who understood his father's thoughts, the more he liked him.
However, when he thought of the anti-Qin people among the survivors of the six countries and the Confucian scholars who were secretly doing bad things.
"Hmph, I will kill them all sooner or later!”。
When the First Emperor thought of those Confucian scholars, a strong killing intent rose in his heart.
The Confucian scholars relied on their ability to read and often criticized the government decrees of the imperial court.
Those illiterate commoners mostly understood the court from the words of these Confucian scholars.
Although the imperial power was respected, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy still held the final say.
Among them, the Qilu Confucians were the most detestable.
The First Emperor even wondered if these Confucians would deliberately smear his name one day.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have a way to flatten those Confucian scholars so that they can only watch helplessly!”
Qin Mu rolled his eyes and had an idea.
"Oh? What plan do you have?"
The First Emperor's dignified face revealed a look of interest.
Even the Imperial Court couldn't do anything to those Confucians who supported the resolute and resolute, so how could they be so easy to deal with?
However, his son said that he had a way. Regardless of whether it worked or not, he had to listen.
It was also considered a test.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Qin Mu stood up and returned to his room. After a while, he held a small piece of paper and handed it over.
The First Emperor took the palm-sized piece of paper. It was densely covered with lines he didn't recognize. It seemed to be some kind of text.
At a glance, those strange lines were at least a hundred words!
There were hundreds of words written on the palm-sized sheet, and there were many blank spaces beside it.
It would not be a problem to write two to three hundred words if it was more compact!
If it was a bamboo scroll, it would probably take several rolls to finish writing, and it was inconvenient to carry.
It was not as light as the brocade in his hand!
"What is this?" he asked in surprise.”
"This is a sharp weapon against the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, paper!”
Qin Mu said proudly.
He didn't explain much about the contents of the Durex product manual.
They wouldn't understand anyway.
Great Qin had a population of over 20 million, so there was no need for family planning.
This thing was useless!
The First Emperor held the instruction manual in his palm, and his face was filled with surprise.
Such a thin piece of paper would probably only weigh a few kilograms if hundreds of thousands of words were written on it.
Every day, he reviewed more than 100 catties of official documents. He had to carry them up one box after another. Just flipping through the bamboo slips was physical work.
If the bamboo slips were replaced with paper, he would be able to read more official documents every day, and it would be easier!
Instantly, his eyes lit up.
Paper, this was good stuff!
However…
"Paper is lighter than bamboo slips, but how can it deal with Confucian scholars?" he asked doubtfully.”
Qin Mu raised his index finger and said proudly,"
"I have another secret skill!"
