"Father."
"Xu Fu's crime of refining the poison pill deserves ten thousand deaths, but the Confucian scholars were only implicated by it and did not deserve to die. Your son pleads Your Majesty to kill the culprit and let the rest of the Confucian scholars go to show your father's benevolence and wisdom.”
The Eldest Young Master helped Su Juanjuan out of the formation, then cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Zheng.
Although Fu Su was dissatisfied with Chen Beixuan, he did not care much about him. He was more concerned about the Confucian scholar who was implicated in Xu Fu's case.
"Your Majesty!"
"Other than Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, the other Confucian scholars are innocent. Please be lenient.”
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"
With Young Master Fusu leading the way, the group of Confucianists stepped forward to plead for mercy.
Xu Fu's case.
There were a total of 468 people involved in this matter. Among them, 369 were alchemists from all over the world, and 99 were Confucian scholars who were implicated by Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng in order to escape their crimes.
One had to know.
Chunyu Yue, the great scholar, was Fu Su's teacher, and these Confucian scholars were also part of Fu Su's faction and supported him. And, Fu Su himself did not approve of Ying Zheng's massacre.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Fu Su would not sit by and do nothing.
"Enough!"
"You keep saying that these Confucian scholars were implicated in the Xu Fu case and suffered an undeserved disaster? Do you know how these Confucians are talking about me and Great Qin behind my back?”
Ying Zheng looked at his son, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.
He had high hopes for Fu Su!
Unfortunately.
Fusu blindly pursued a benevolent government and lacked the decisiveness of an Emperor. He and Chunyu Yue insisted on enfeoffment and re-enfeoffment of the six countries to shake the foundation of Great Qin.
One must know.
The reason why the tiger was able to become the king of all beasts was because he had sharp claws and teeth. He had invincible strength and subdued all beasts.
Once the tiger was old and weak, losing its claws and strength, it would inevitably be counterattacked by all the beasts.
It was the same for emperors.
The benevolent government that Fu Su pursued was not wrong. A country that relied only on tyranny and iron-bloodedness could only be strong for a while and not for a lifetime.
However, Fu Su only pursued benevolent government and forgot the decisiveness of an emperor.
This was like a tiger without strength. With the title of the king of beasts, how could it command all beasts and control the world?
It was such a simple and easy to understand logic, but Fu Su still did not understand it!
"Your son does not understand."
"However, your son knows that killing cannot last long. The world has just settled down, and the hearts of the six states have yet to submit. Confucianism is a prominent school of thought among the hundred schools of thought, and it holds a pivotal position among the scholars.”
"If Imperial Father kills these Confucians, it will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of the world. It will also make the Hundred Schools of Thought fear Great Qin and lead to chaos.”
"Father, please reconsider!"
However, Fu Su did not understand Ying Zheng's good intentions and stubbornly pleaded for the scholar.
"What a scam!"
"This Fu Su is really stupid. No wonder Zhao Gao could make him commit suicide with a fake imperial edict and easily solve the biggest problem.”
Chen Beixuan shook his head as he watched Fu Su and Ying Zheng fight.
If Fu Su and Huhai were to fall into their hands, Great Qin would be finished sooner or later.
No way.
He had to stop this from happening.
Ying Zheng was furious!
He did not expect the eldest son to refute him again and again, completely ignoring the overall situation of the court. He was simply stupid and hopeless!
"You're too kind!"
Just as Ying Zheng was about to drive Fu Su out of Xianyang and let him wake up, he heard Chen Beixuan's mocking voice, which made him overjoyed.
That's right.
I still have the emperor's teacher. He will definitely have a way.
"What is the meaning of this, Imperial Teacher?"
Fu Su frowned and looked at Chen Beixuan.
"I mean it literally."
"I said that you're soft-hearted and extremely stupid. You're golden on the outside but rotten on the inside!”
Everyone's expression changed.
Although Ying Zheng did not have a crown prince, Fu Su was Ying Zheng's eldest son, and was famous for his benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Many people in the court supported Fu Su to inherit the throne.
However, Chen Beixuan had said that Fu Su was worthless, which was a slap to their faces.
"Impudent!"
"Young Master Fusu is virtuous and wise, respectful and filial, intelligent and studious. How can you slander and insult him like this?”
Chunyu Yue jumped out and scolded Chen Beixuan.
Fu Su was his most prided disciple, and he was proud of him. How could he allow Chen Beixuan to slander and insult Fu Su like that?
"Pa!"
Chen Beixuan did not say anything. Instead, he used his movement technique to get close to Chunyu Yue and slapped him in the face.
The crisp and clear sound of a slap echoed throughout the entire hall.
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
Waves of emotions surged in his heart!
No one expected this.
This young and harmless teacher who always had a smile on his face actually started to beat people up. Moreover, he did it in front of the First Emperor in a solemn court meeting.
This was simply treasonous and appalling!
However, Chen Beixuan did it, and the First Emperor was not angry.
From this, it could be seen how much Ying Zheng indulged and trusted Chen Beixuan.
"You…you dare to hit me?"
Chen Beixuan's slap was not weak. Chunyu Yue fell to the ground with blood oozing out of his mouth.
"Whoosh!"
Chen Beixuan did not say anything. Instead, he drew his sword.
The sharp sword gleamed coldly, and a murderous intent emanated from it. The officials were so frightened that they retreated. They did not know what was wrong with Chen Beixuan.
"Look."
"They don't want to listen to me, but my strength can suppress them, so they dare to be angry but don't dare to say anything. This is political trickery.”
"You keep saying that you want to implement a benevolent policy, that you want His Majesty to reduce the corvee and enfeoffment the nobles of the six countries to win the hearts of the six countries and make the world peaceful.”
"But you don't know that peace is earned through killing, not through benevolent policies.”
"The northern border has been plundered by the Xiongnu all year round. Is there any use in talking about benevolence and righteousness?”
"Useless!"
"As long as we kill them until they don't dare to come again, or even kill them all, the border will naturally be peaceful.”
"You're being glib and unreasonable!”
Fu Su did not take Chen Beixuan's words seriously.
"Hopeless!"
Chen Beixuan cursed in his heart and decided to try again.
"The Master said: Falcons are birds, bows and arrows are tools. The archer is a man.
What is the disadvantage of a gentleman who hides his weapons in his body and waits for the opportunity to act? It moves but does not gather, so it goes out but does not get, because words become objects and move.”
"Do you understand this sentence?"
