Chapter 13

Xuanjing City, Zhuangyuan Building.

A group of scholars gathered together to read the volumes of ancient books that have recently caused shock in the world.

Since the ancient books appeared in the world a few days ago, the bookstore in the city has been printing them non-stop.Even so, the published books are in short supply.These scholars also managed to buy a few volumes today, so they invited a group of friends to come here to share.

"The highest goodness is like water, which benefits all things without competing. Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. In just a few words, I feel infinitely mysterious when I read it. This sutra is really extraordinary!"

"In my opinion, these three thousand words are worth all the articles I have read before!"

"I feel the same way!"

"No, no, in my opinion, the subtlety of that volume of "Yi" is even higher than that of "Tao De". Although the text is obscure and difficult, every word seems to contain the truth of heaven and earth."

"That's right, Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement! It speaks the voice of my generation!"

The scholars were discussing enthusiastically, looking intoxicated.

At this moment, one of them suddenly sighed and said: "I never imagined that such exquisite and incomparable writing would be buried deep underground for thousands of years without anyone knowing about it. Every time I think of this, I feel heartbroken!"

This remark also aroused the echo of everyone.

"Yes, my teacher loved reading books the most. If he could read these few volumes of scriptures, I don't know how happy he would be."

"In the past, scholars all over the world were unable to hear this scripture, and they were all unfortunate!"

"However, these scriptures were really written by the predecessors. They were lost due to the war, so they had to be preserved in ancient tombs? From my observations in "Nanhua" and "The Analects of Confucius", none of the people and things in them are recorded in the history books." Among them, a voice was a little abrupt.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then they came to a firm conclusion.

"It must be so. There is absolutely no possibility of forging such a text. The existing history books only have a history of nearly 3000 years. Before 3000 years, there are basically no detailed records. I think these classics are the products of that time."

"I heard that the face-sage of the ancient school once said that in ancient times, there were hundreds of schools of thought contending, and the classics that were born were really like stars in the sky, innumerable. The few volumes of scriptures we read today are just an insignificant part of it. "

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of exclamation in the restaurant.

"There is such a thing!"

"When I think that there are still so many classic articles buried deep in the ground, I am so heartbroken that I can't sleep at night!"

"I don't know what the other classics look like."

……

"But after all, these ancient books are hidden deep in various ancient tombs. What the Ancient Visiting School said to wantonly excavate ancient tombs to find lost classics is really against human ethics."

The scholars instinctively wanted to echo, but when they thought of the countless classic articles still waiting to be discovered underground, their tone became less firm.

"Didn't the leaders of the Visiting Ancient School say that what they are doing is protection, rescue excavation, not destruction."

"That's right. I heard that every time they excavate an ancient tomb, they don't wantonly destroy it like the tomb robbers in the past. They only take gold and silver. Instead, they carefully take out all the items in it and keep them properly. If there is any damage, there will be a special person responsible for repairing it." .”

"Indeed, it cannot be simply compared with tomb robbers."

However, there are still many people who disagree.

"It's just nice to say. What's the difference? Does anyone here have no ancestors? If your ancestor's tomb was discovered like this, how would you feel?"

"The river must not be opened in advance, otherwise there will be endless disasters. I will try my best to dissuade it."

"exactly."

……

Still others did not speak out and acted as peacemakers.

"The Holy Majesty and the court ministers must have made a conclusion on this matter, so we don't need to worry too much."

"Just watch it, let's watch it."

……

As "Tao De" spread throughout the world, fierce debates broke out in various places in Daxuan.

It's similar to the scene in the Zhuangyuan building today, but I don't know how many things there are.

Li Fan knew that it would definitely not work to change the minds of the people in the world in a short period of time.

Now, it's just the beginning.

But Li Fan wasn't worried that things wouldn't work out at all.

In today's world, it is scholars who have the right to speak.

With countless classics as bait, Li Fan is not afraid that these scholars will not submit.

What's more, Li Fan doesn't ask for the support of these people, as long as they don't jump out to oppose it.

……

While seeking the world secretly, Li Fan is also gradually promoting the influence of the Visiting Ancient School in the secular world.

After anchoring for six years, the emperor suddenly fell ill and was bedridden.All the imperial physicians were helpless.At this moment, the Visiting Ancient School held a elixir and a face sage.It is said that this pill was found from an ancient tomb, and it is suspected that it was left by an immortal, and it has the effect of resurrecting the flesh and bones of the dead.Taking it may relieve the danger.

The emperor ignored him at first, but as his body deteriorated day by day, and he was about to die, he still took the elixir with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Who would have thought that the elixir would really have miraculous effects, but within a few days, the emperor returned to his original state.

The government and the public were shaken, and the ministers talked a lot.

The emperor even ordered the leaders of the ancient school to enter the palace at night to ask about the immortals, and he did not go to court for several days.

Since then, the emperor believed in the existence of immortals.Secretly instigated the military center to cooperate with the Ancient Visiting School to search for traces of immortals in ancient tombs.

After nine years of anchoring, the Visiting Ancient School held an exhibition in Xuanjing City, and invited the ministers of the court and the princes and nobles of Beijing to watch it.

Although these people are also rich and well-informed, after seeing the rare treasures in the exhibition, they are all immersed in it and linger.

After that, the Visiting Ancient School opened up restrictions, and ordinary people can enter one of them as long as they buy tickets.

The city of Xuanjing suddenly became a sensation.

Countless people lined up, wanting to get a glimpse of the treasures in the exhibition.The large number of people actually caused traffic jams in the capital.Fortunately, the Holy Majesty issued an order, and there was a garrison battalion holding armor to maintain order, so no greater riots were caused.

The grand event lasted for more than half a month.

After that, the exhibition not only did not stop, but began to tour various places, unfolding one by one in various places in Daxuan.

After anchoring for 11 years, Jianghuai Mansion cracked a vicious tomb robbery case and captured a tomb robbery team of hundreds of people.

This group of people excavated ancient tombs in the deep mountains and caused immeasurable losses.

According to the law, this group of people should all be sentenced to death.

However, there were so many people involved in the case and the involvement was too extensive, Li Fan, the magistrate of Jianghuai Prefecture, did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Xuanjing City in eight hundred miles, asking the Holy One to make a decision.

A minister heard that he was very angry, and he wrote a letter to ask for a decision.

However, the strange thing is that most of the courtiers remained silent at this moment.

The emperor also suppressed all the memorials and did not express his position.

After a full month, the emperor's will was long overdue.

He was not sentenced to death, but he was sentenced to slavery and sent to Beijing.

The ministers of the DPRK and China hardly wrote to object.

Li Fan looked at the edict and smiled slightly, knowing that the general trend had come.
