Chapter 32 More Than the First
The nobles of the six kingdoms gathered in the small underground dark room again, but this time they were blaming each other.
"I've always said that you, a Chu person, are untrustworthy. We agreed to unite and seize the authority to use the paper. Why did you act alone and leave everyone else alone?"
"We agreed to unite and fight for the paper rights, but that belongs to the entire country. Since we only have regional rights, I must ensure the paper expenses of my Chu State!"
"Spurious arguments! Treachery!"
"Don't just blame me. Didn't you guys also bid for other items privately earlier?"
"You still say that! If you hadn't secretly raised the price, how could I have paid so much more for nothing!"
"They said we were secretly raising the price. I think it was you who was causing trouble, causing me to not get the regional rights to the ancient capital!"
This time no one came out to act as a peacemaker because the peacemaker himself was among the crowd of people cursing.
After a big fight, the group ended up parting on bad terms. This group that had temporarily gathered together for common interests was already in danger.
Several great Confucian sages gathered in Chunyu Pushe's official residence. Each of them took out their own bamboo slips and gathered together, anxiously sorting out Confucius's manuscripts overnight.
In the dilapidated courtyard, Tang Bing, Cui Guang and the other three were not playing chess for a rare occasion. Instead, they were carefully stroking the bamboo slips in their hands, frowning and thinking.
Zhou Shu was still anxious: "Do we have to compete for these ten places as well?"
"Why should I, a Taoist hermit, deserve such an empty reputation?" Wu Shi responded somewhat harshly, but his hand tightly gripping the bamboo slips revealed his inner unrest.
Cui Guang: "Alas, a single stone stirs up a thousand waves. Is Ying Zheng planning to redraw the boundaries of the Hundred Schools of Thought?"
"This move is swift and ruthless, making it difficult to resist. I'm sure the first of these ten books must be the Qin Law, followed by Confucianism. As for the other eight..." Tang Bing kept stroking the bamboo slips in his hand, his eyes filled with hesitation. "But in this great dispute, I wonder how the Legalists will respond."
Zhou Shu flicked his sleeves and directly suggested: "Never mind, let's compile it into a book first. Whether we use it or not, we can leave it to our own disciples."
The other three did not object. Sometimes, not objecting is a tacit agreement, but they just haven't realized it yet.
From nobles to common people, countless families searched through their drawers and cabinets for classics, preparing to copy them and then try their luck at the Daqin Bookstore.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Daqin, Li You knocked on the door of the study, holding a bowl of medicinal soup.
"Father, it's my son Li You."
"come in."
Li You pushed the door open and walked in. The lights in the study were on. Li Si had put aside his seriousness during the day and was wearing simple old home clothes, copying bamboo slips at his desk.
"Father, it's late. We have to get up early tomorrow to attend the court meeting. You should go to bed early."
He placed the medicine on the table in front of Li Si, picked up the outer garment next to him and draped it over his grandfather.
"Ahem, it's not too late. I'll rest after I finish copying this."
Li You picked up the medicine and handed it to his grandfather. He watched him take it and drink it all in one gulp, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Father, these are the classics of the Legalist school. Just let my brothers and I copy them."
Li Si: "Yes, Your Majesty, I had a long talk with you a while ago. It's not just the Legalist classics, the Qin Code that needs to be properly revised."
Li You was puzzled: "Father, is it that the Third Princess wants to make use of the Bai family?"
Li Si put down the brush in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and waved his hand, "No! On the contrary, the Third Princess is the most staunch supporter of the rule of law."
"So this time, with 100,000 free books available to everyone, isn't that an olive branch extended to all schools of thought? Could it be true, as everyone speculates, that the first book will definitely be from the Legalist school?"
"Not only that!" Li Si's eyes lit up. "Not just the first one. The first one, the Qin Code, sold for 300,000 copies! The second one, the Legalist classic, sold for 200,000 copies. And then there are the others. Let them fight for it."
He narrowed his eyes in deep thought for a moment, then continued, "I, your father, had my doubts. Since the beginning of the year, Your Majesty has been acting rather strangely, and I couldn't understand many of his plans. It wasn't until Your Majesty came to talk to me recently that I realized how wrong I was."
"Too hard and too rigid will break; too strong and too hard will break; the highest good is like water; it is soft and lasts forever."
After saying this, Li Si turned to Li You and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you go to Sanchuan as the prefect. You should pack your bags and take your wife and children with you to take up your post as soon as possible."
Li You was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Father, for your mediation."
The night is quiet and all animals are still. From time to time, you can hear the barking of dogs from across the forest.
Xianyang City fell into silence, with only the occasional barking of dogs causing ripples.
The sound of roosters crowing wakes up the new day.
Ministers entered the court hall one after another. The moment they entered, they were dazzled by the golden scene inside. Some younger ones even ran out of the hall, went back in, rubbed their eyes, and found that the scene was still there!
Su Jinyue secretly observed the actions of these little old men. Hehehe, they have never seen the world, unlike her, who has already slept on a golden mountain!
Xiao He had just stepped into this hall of power and was not yet familiar with everyone's ways.
Today, he still came to the court hall early and waited for the arrival of other ministers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a lot of gold cakes, piled up in baskets in the center of the hall.
He was a little confused. He had thought that the ministers in the court were all serious and respectable. Could it be that they were not?
Zhili Neishi looked at his attendant, whom he had been using more and more easily recently, and saw that he was staring blankly at Jinshan. He quickly coughed to remind the other party to pay attention to his appearance. We, Zhili Neishi's disciples, are very particular about appearances. This was just a small accident.
"Your Majesty has arrived, kneel!"
"Long live your majesty!"
Ying Zheng looked at the crowd kneeling in a circle around the golden mountain below the stage, and the pulse in his forehead throbbed faster and faster.
He gnashed his teeth and whispered, "My son, Zhao Jinyue, would you please explain this to me?"
Su Jinyue looked up at the big daddy, threw him a complacent glance, and mouthed, "I understand, I understand everything, Dad. You're shocked, right?"
She straightened her sleeves, restrained her expression, and stepped out with a profound look on her face, "Father, look!"
As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hand towards the mountain of gold beside her, "This is the mountain of gold that your daughter has built for you!"
Ying Zheng: "Come here, drag him away."
It was a close call that he didn't let anyone drag Su Jinyue away, fortunately he held himself back.
"Come here, quickly drag these gold cakes away and put them into the warehouse. Don't leave a single one behind."
Su Jinyue was anxious: No? They dragged it all away? No way they're giving her any?
She watched eagerly as the palace servants moved the mountain of gold away, thinking to herself that fortunately she had spread gold cakes all over the floor of the inner hall last night, and the bottom of her bed was also filled with them, so she was still a rich woman, hehe.
"Leave the account book and return it."
"Okay, Father."
Su Jinyue handed the account book to the palace maid and sat back at her desk quickly. She got up too early this morning to pretend to be sexy and was a little sleepy now.
"Huh...huh..."
Fusu heard the snoring next to him and hurriedly pulled his third sister's sleeve.
Not awake?
Kick again.
Finally woke up, before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh...huh..."
The collapsed Fusu sometimes felt helpless.
