Chapter 68 The Hundred Disciples of the Riot

After a month, Xiao Hong finally came back, and now he has 110 million meritorious service. During the time Xiao Hong left, Qin Shihuang ordered the world to plant some potatoes in various places. When these potatoes are ripe, There will be no shortage of food in the world for the time being.

"Welcome your Majesty back to the mansion." Hu Hai, Zhang Liang and Wang Chen took all the servants in the mansion to greet Xiao Hong at the gate of the mansion.

"Everyone is welcome, get up"

"Thank you sir"

"During the time when I'm not here, will any major events happen in Xianyang?"

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a big event"

Hu Hai and others greeted Xiao Hong and entered the mansion, Zhang Liang said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Hong looked at the serious Zhang Liang and asked.

"Just a few days ago, a famous Confucian scholar published an article in a newspaper about the strictness of laws. When His Majesty saw this article, he became furious and reprimanded the newspaper editor-in-chief Chen Ping, and even arrested the Confucian scholar. . Then Li Si actually suggested that your Majesty issue an edict to burn poems and books that have nothing to do with people's livelihood. At the same time, he also burned books and texts inherited by hundreds of schools of thought, to put an end to the words of hundreds of schools of thought and to only respect magic."

"What?" Xiao Hong looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, and asked nervously, "Then Your Majesty agreed?"

"Fortunately, Prime Minister Feng, Lord Wang, and many other officials stopped His Majesty's idea of ​​burning the books of the Hundred Schools temporarily, but somehow this matter leaked out of the palace, and now the disciples of the Hundred Schools gathered in Xianyang all The quarrel was already serious, and many people threatened to die with Li Si. For this reason, His Majesty specially sent soldiers from the imperial army to temporarily protect Li Si, and because of the noise of hundreds of disciples, His Majesty had already become angry many times, even Many people have been arrested. If things go on like this, Liang is worried that His Majesty will really burn hundreds of books," Zhang Liang worried.

"What did Chen Ping do? Go and find Chen Ping for me."

"Well..." Seeing Xiao Hong lose his temper, Wang Chen hurriedly sent someone to invite Chen Ping.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ping is waiting to be summoned outside the residence."

"let him in"

"Chen Ping sees Lord Wu An," Chen Ping bowed ninety degrees and said.

Xiao Hong looked at Chen Ping in front of him, and said angrily: "How can you be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, how can this kind of article be published in the newspaper at this time? What is in your head, don't you know this article? How much trouble will the article cause? Now that Li Si has suggested that His Majesty burn hundreds of books, what do you think should be done?"

Hearing Xiao Hong's roar, Chen Ping knelt down and said: "Back to your majesty, Ping never thought that this article would cause such a big disaster."

"I ask you, how many copies of the newspaper that published this article have been sold so far?"

"Back to you, [-] copies have been sold so far, and the rest will be returned to the newspaper. The newspaper should not have flowed out of Xianyang yet."

"That's not too bad. From now on, all activities of the newspaper office will be stopped. Without my order, the newspaper office is not allowed to sell any newspaper. If anyone dares to sell a newspaper privately, don't blame me for being merciless." "

"Ping understands, but Lord Marquis, hundreds of disciples in Xianyang are already in trouble, and Ping has also received news that they plan to sit in protest outside Xianyang Palace at the beginning of the morning today ([-] o'clock in the morning)."

"MD, look at what you've done. Someone is here to prepare the car. I'm going to the palace to meet His Majesty." It was already Sichu ([-] o'clock in the morning) and this group of disciples had been sitting in protest for an hour. The court should not be gone yet, it is still too late to see His Majesty.

"Here..." Wang Chen hurriedly prepared the carriage, and Xiao Hong went to Xianyang Palace under the escort of twenty Xuanwu guards.

When Xiao Hong's carriage drove to the square outside Xianyang Palace, he saw thousands of disciples from hundreds of families sitting quietly on the ground.

"Things are getting bigger and bigger." Xiao Hong knew how arrogant Qin Shihuang, who ruled the six kingdoms, was, and this group of disciples using this method to persecute His Majesty would only backfire in the end, and maybe these disciples would be in bad luck. .

"Mr. Wu An is here, and everyone still won't give way," Xuanwu Wei, who was riding a tall horse in front of the carriage, said sharply.

"Jun Wu An is back"

"Mr. Wu An, you must decide for us."

"Li Si, a bastard, dares to suggest that His Majesty burn the books of our hundred schools. He must have ulterior motives."

"Your Majesty, I want to perish with Li Si and protect my family's inheritance."

When everyone heard Xiao Hong's arrival, they all surrounded him instead, while the Xuanwu guard unsheathed his sword as if facing a formidable enemy, and said sharply: "No one should approach him."

There were thousands of people in the square at this time. If they were to harm Lord Wu An, these twenty Xuanwu guards could not guarantee that they would protect Xiao Hongqi.

There was no other way, Xiao Hong could only lift the veil and said: "Put away all the swords"

Hearing Xiao Hong's order, Xuanwuwei put his sword into its sheath, but still looked at everyone vigilantly.

Xiao Hong sighed, looked at the hundreds of disciples surrounded by the carriage, and said loudly: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. I heard the news just after I came back, and I plan to go to the palace to persuade Your Majesty. Please believe me, I Your Majesty will not let Li Si's plot succeed, but in order for me to persuade His Majesty smoothly, you should disperse first, okay?"

Hearing Xiao Hong's assurance, the disciples of the hundreds of families looked at each other, and the oldest disciples bowed and said: "We all believe in Lord Wu An, everyone, let's go."

Under the leadership of these elder disciples from the Hundred Schools, the crowd gradually dispersed.

"In history, why did Li Si suggest His Majesty to burn books and what is the purpose?" Xiao Hong remembered where he seemed to see this thing, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Your Majesty, the forbidden army came to report just now, and the hundreds of disciples gathered in the square have already dispersed," the reporter reported in a low voice.

At this time, the court was still quarreling over the burning of books, and Li Si even exploded. The small universe could actually blast dozens of ministers without losing any of them. Seeing this, Zhuge Villager called him an expert.

"Why did the hundred disciples disperse?"

"It was Mr. Wu An who persuaded him to leave"

"Mr. Wu An is back?" Xiao Hong had been away for more than two months, and finally came back this morning, but Qin Shihuang was so overwhelmed by the burning of books these days that he forgot about Xiao Hong.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu An is asking for an audience outside the palace."

"Quickly pass" Qin Shihuang said in surprise, as long as Lord Wu An comes back, then he will definitely have a solution to the book burning issue.

Hearing that Mr. Wu An had returned, the noisy court fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Xiao Hong who was walking into the hall.

"I see Your Majesty" Xiao Hong said with a bow.

"Mr. Wu An, please get up. I'm not used to Mr. Wu An not being in Xianyang during this period of time." After so many days, Qin Shihuang finally smiled.

"Your Majesty is terrified, but as soon as I came back, I heard that Prime Minister Li suggested that His Majesty burn books, so I rushed here without changing my clothes, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me." Although Xiao Hong is the Lord of Wu'an, he has always given enough. Qin Shihuang's face.

"Mr. Wu'an's heart is for the country, why should he be guilty?" Qin Shihuang said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Xiao Hong bowed and saluted, he watched Li Si prepare to make a big move.
