Chapter 73: Confrontation at Qilin Palace

However, before they could come up with a solution, Huiwen Bookstore started making trouble again.

"What? Confucius traveled around the world, a two-meter-tall man who could open a city gate with his bare hands and whose back muscles could be shaped like the Chinese character for virtue."

"'A gentleman is not dignified if he is not severe': A gentleman must strike hard, otherwise he cannot establish his authority. So this is what the saying means."

"To convince others with 'virtue', 'virtue' does not refer to moral cultivation, but rather to the sword Confucius carried with him. This means that when Confucius wanted others to believe in him, he always used the sword to resolve problems."

The content of this book has completely refreshed everyone's worldview.

So this is what Confucius was like. No wonder he had so many disciples.

......

The book spread like a virus in Xianyang, and people from the Confucian side also got the book.

"Puff." Chunyu Yue was so angry that he vomited blood, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Master Chunyu, Master Chunyu, are you okay?"

"Go and call a doctor quickly, Lord Chunyu is vomiting blood." The mansion was in chaos.

After a while, the doctor came and gave Chunyu Yue a few injections, which woke him up.

Chunyu Yue reached out with trembling hands to grab the book called Lunyu, "Change into your official uniform and carry me into the palace. I want to see the emperor."

"Master Chunyu, you are not well yet."

The man wanted to say something, but was stared at by Chunyu Yue's vicious eyes and shut up consciously.

"I'll go and saddle the horse."

"Your Majesty, I, Chunyu Yue, pay my respects to you." As soon as the overlord Chunyu Yue saw Ying Zheng, he fell to the ground and cried miserably, "You must make the decision for us."

"Doctor Chunyu is sick? Do you want to call the imperial physician?" Ying Zheng almost laughed when he saw Chunyu Yue's miserable appearance. His daughter was such a mischievous girl.

"Your Majesty, I am still able to hold on. I came here for the book sold in the Huiwen Bookstore in Xianyang. The Huiwen Bookstore has been making irresponsible remarks about Confucius, misinterpreting his thoughts, and spreading them widely. Your Majesty, please take action against such villains." Chunyu Yue presented the book in his hands with both hands.

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao, who understood and walked over to present the book.

Although I already knew what kind of book this was, I still had to go through the necessary formalities.

I suppressed my laughter and flipped through the book. Hey, is this the printing technique that my daughter asked Mohist and Gongshujia to come up with? It looks good.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us." All the doctors came and said in unison.

He closed the book in his hand and looked up at the group of doctors. "How does this book misinterpret the meaning of Confucius? I think there is no problem."

Chunyu Yue was shocked. "Your Majesty, this is nonsense. Don't be misled by these remarks. This villain wants to destroy the foundation of our Great Qin."

"It's not that serious. Didn't you see it written in the book? It's just for entertainment." Ying Zheng said lightly.

How could he make them dance more fiercely so that he could seize their mistakes and destroy his identity as Fusu's teacher?

"But, many people take it for granted, Your Majesty." Chunyu Yue was heartbroken. If this book were to be widely circulated, how would Confucians spread their ideas in the future? The people in Huiwen Bookstore were heretics and should be executed.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to catch the thief." Others also said hurriedly.

Huiwen Bookstore has already violated their interests and is now using books to insult them and prevent them from spreading Confucian ideas.

Looking at their indignant expressions, Ying Zheng's face turned cold.

"Zhao Gao, go call Qing Rui over." Ying Zheng said calmly, relaxing his body and leaning on the newly made bench.

"promise."

Chunyu Yue felt something in his heart when he heard the order from the First Emperor.

The Huiwen Bookstore was previously confiscated by His Majesty, and no one knows who the owner of this store is.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the order from the First Emperor and was slightly surprised. Could it be the shop of the little princess?

During this period, there were many rumors about the little princess that His Majesty kept outside. He had heard some of them, but he only knew that His Majesty loved her very much, and other information was not very clear.

Could it be that His Majesty gave the shop to the little princess?

"Huiwen Bookstore is run by my daughter Qingrui as a joke. If you have anything to say, just tell her directly." Ying Zheng looked at these people calmly. He also wanted to see how his daughter would respond.

Ying Zheng's words were like thunder falling on their hearts.

Damn it, they actually came here and wanted Your Majesty to chop off the little princess.

Chunyu Yue took a deep breath, feeling a little annoyed that he had acted rashly without clarifying the situation.

But, it has already happened.

Moreover, Your Majesty is also wrong in this matter. Even if you don't like Confucian scholars, you can't allow the little princess to do these things.

Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud. If he angered His Majesty, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

This was also Zhao Qingrui's first time in the Qilin Hall. As soon as she came over, dozens of Confucian scholars in the hall turned around and looked at her.

Those pairs of resentful eyes looked as if Zhao Qingrui had done something that was hated by God and man.

Zhao Qingrui knew what was going on. These people had indeed come to her father, but she was not afraid.

"Greetings, father. May I know why your Majesty wants me here?" He pretended to know nothing.

"No need to be so polite. It's this Doctor Chunyu who is looking for you. He said that you have misinterpreted the meaning of Confucius and are harming Confucian scholars." Ying Zheng's voice sounded a little gloating.

Zhao Qingrui immediately understood that her father had indeed learned bad things. He just wanted to watch her make trouble, or wanted her to help deal with Chunyu Yue and the others.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Although I made up this saying, I also felt that the lives of the people in Xianyang were too boring, so I just wanted to add some fun to them. What is written in the book is for entertainment only." Zhao Qingrui cried out that he was innocent.

"Your Majesty, the princess is just quibbling. If this rebellious letter gets out, it will bring disaster to our Great Qin." Chunyu Yue took a deep breath. It was obvious that His Majesty was on the side of the little princess.

I'm afraid today's matter will not be so easy.

However, when it comes to their school of thought and their own interests, he cannot give in.

He is Prince Fusu's teacher. Even if His Majesty is unhappy with him, he will at most scold him a few words and will not punish him too much.

Thinking of this, I immediately felt more confident.

"I just sold a book and it brought disaster to the Qin Dynasty. What about you, Dr. Chunyu?" Zhao Qingrui smiled. Her father had made much more comprehensive preparations to deal with Chunyu Yue than she did.

Ying Zheng directly sent Dun Ruo out. In two days, he found out a lot about what Chunyu Yue and others had done.

"I have never done anything to harm the Great Qin. Are you trying to frame me, little princess?" Chunyu Yue sneered. This little princess was too presumptuous. She had just been brought back by His Majesty, and she was so bold as to confront the Confucianists.

Could it be that His Majesty was behind this? Thinking of this, my heart began to tighten again.
