What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

Chapter 142 Taking the Way of Death and Hating Different Kings

Chun Yuyue looked calm, he looked at Kong Xian who was walking over, and even had the strength to make a joke.

"Brother Kong, now you and I are in prison together, why are you talking about other things?"

Pointing to Kong Xian, he said, "It was a farewell back then, except for a few days ago, you and I haven't seen each other for about twenty years, right?"

Kong Xian nodded slightly.

"good."

"In the past 20 years, you and I have been running around for the wishes in our hearts, but we have never met each other again."

Chunyu Yue cupped his hands slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Now my brother and I are both here, and everything we wish in our hearts has been turned into ashes."

"It's time to fight, it's time to fight."

Kong Xian let out a long sigh: "What I have done in my life is to die without regret."

"It is indeed pathetic."

While the two were talking, the jailer not far away spoke.

"Both, General Wang has explained that the two are old friends."

"Now one of them will be beheaded in two days, and you can arrange the same cell with the two of you."

The jailer smiled slightly: "If you don't need it, you can talk about the old days as much as you want after you enter the prison."

He looked at Kong Xian: "Please?"

Baijiagongzhong
Xiao He and the six sat together, talking about what they should do in the future.

Zeng Lu was holding a volume of books in his hand, with a slightly sad expression on his face.

"Brother Xiao, this is what the Shaofu told me to sort out."

"I'm almost done, take a look?"

Xiao He didn't refuse, took the scroll and read it carefully.

After a while, Xiao He pondered a little.

"The content in this book has been revised almost."

"But I always feel like something is missing."

He pressed his forehead: "What's missing?"

Chen Ping on the side said at this time: "I feel that there are some lack of literacy."

"This book is reasonable, but it is not suitable for people who cannot read."

Chen Ping's eyes flickered with a little worry: "The Shaofu asked us to prepare this book, is it really just for a palace of Baijia?"

He looked at the three people sitting there, and asked softly: "Or, your majesty and the young man ordered me to compile books and even divide the hundreds of schools. Is it really for the purpose of educating the people in the palace of hundreds of families?"

Chen Ping's words were like thunder on dry land, which woke everyone up suddenly.

Meng Qiu's eyes were shining brightly: "You mean, His Majesty's heart is to educate the people of the world?"

Chen Ping nodded slightly.

Cao Shen also nodded in agreement: "I feel the same way."

Pointing to the paper on the table, he said softly, "Take a look at the several branches of the Baijia Palace."

"Confucianism was changed to "wen", law is still "law", Taoism, yin and yang, five elements, and names were changed to "philosophy", and ink was changed to "science palace". "

Cao Shen looked at it with a look of confusion on his face.

"I can understand Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism. It probably removes all ideas of governing the country."

"But what does this "Science Palace" of the "Mohists" mean? "

Shi Xuanni said silently: "This, I understand a little bit."

"A few days ago I went to the Mohists' place, and they seemed to be compiling teaching materials, it was this "Science Palace". "

"Most of the teaching materials are things that I can't understand."

"For example, why ships can only float on the sea, and the manufacture of bows and crossbows, etc., seem to be learned by "craftsmen". "

Xiao He shook his head: "It's not just that."

"Since the Shaofu listed it as a palace alone, there is a reason for the Shaofu."

He clicked on the names of the other schools and said, "What I want you to see is the names of the other schools."

"Why do you want to change Confucianism to literature, and even include some easy-to-understand articles from Legalism, Mohism, and Taoism in the textbooks of the Palace of Literature?"

"He privately thinks that this is to make the common people literate and sensible."

"So, when we compile these textbooks, we can appropriately add some articles from various schools that tell the truth about human beings."

Xiao He opened the article Zeng Lu handed him before, pointed to one of the pages and said: "This article must be deleted."

He looked at Zeng Lu with a half-smile.

"By handing over this thing, Brother Zeng intends to die by himself, or does he want to take us to die together?"

Seeing the article that was highlighted, Zeng Lu broke out in a cold sweat.

How did this article end up in this book?

He has obviously checked it several times!

The article written in black and white on the yellow paper is "The Analects of Confucius·Bayi".

This article was written by Confucius satirizing Lu Qing Jisun's family. The Bayi dance was originally a regulation that only the emperor could use in Zhou rites.

And Lu Qing and Ji Sun's family went to use it.

So Confucius said: what is tolerable, which is not tolerable.

When this article was presented to Ying Zheng, it was nothing more than pointing at Ying Zheng's nose and cursing.

You are a traitor and a traitor who took over Zhou's country!
Wouldn't it be true, as Xiao He said, to bring the people who reviewed this article to die together?
Zeng Lu quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Dr. Xiao."

"If it wasn't for Dr. Xiao, I'd be dying soon!"

Xiao He shook his head and sighed.

"Why do you have to come here?"

"It's all just looking for a way to survive."

He pressed his forehead and said: "Since I understand what Your Majesty and Shaofu mean, let's continue to revise it."

"Now this thing cannot be presented in front of His Majesty and the Young Mansion."

Meng Qiu said abruptly at this time: "I think there is an article that can be added to this article."

"Chen Shaofu's Thousand Character Essay."

"how?"

As soon as this remark came out, the six people present clapped their hands and laughed at the same time.

"good."

"Great!"

Outside the city of Xianyang, beside the broad river.

Chen Ke was half lying on the deck chair, holding a fishing pole in his hand, the bottom of which was hanging in the river.

The autumn wind blows slightly, although it is a bit cold in autumn, but it is barely acceptable.

At this time, a figure came over, it was Yan Kong.

At this time, Yan Kong couldn't see the way he used to be.

If Yan Kong in the past was like a piece of jade, with light exposed, today's Yan Kong has become a polished jade, with restrained light.

"Yan has seen Shaofu."

When Chen Ke heard Yan Kong's voice, he didn't say anything, but smiled faintly.

"sit down."

He said, "I thought you would go to see Chunyuyue for the last time. After all, you have a good relationship?"

Yan Kong sat beside Chen Ke, silently looking at the lake in the distance.

The lake is calm, but who knows what kind of waves are hidden under the lake?

He sighed: "The Shaofu can always poke the most difficult places in people's hearts."

"It was the same last time, and it's the same this time."

Yan Kong smiled bitterly: "I always thought that I was a genius of Confucianism."

"Read poetry and books, and have the world in mind."

"I always think that I am superior and proud."

"But when my husband went to prison, I just realized that I am just an ordinary person."

Chen Ke narrowed his eyes and yawned.

Meeting Yan Kong here today was really just an accident.

But listening to Yan Kong rambling a few words, it's not a big deal.

Yan Kong looked at Chen Ke's calm appearance, and he didn't have any emotional fluctuations in his heart.

He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Actually, I have always admired Chen Shaofu."

Yan Kong's words were astonishing.

"With this heart, I only hate being born differently."

"If you can live with the king, you can be good with the king."
