I unlocked the Wanjie investment system

Chapter 116 Troubleshooting

But Qin Shihuang didn't know what he was thinking, and it was really unpredictable to make such a decision at this time.

More importantly, he had clearly reminded Qin Shihuang, but he still wanted to do the same.

In Gu Xiaoning's view, such things as burning books and burying Confucianism are harmful but not beneficial. Qin Shihuang unified the world and ended hundreds of years of feudal feudal lords.

Absolutely there is no one before or after, and it can be said that he is an emperor through the ages!
But the matter of "burning books and burying Confucianism" has become the deepest stain on him. It is a pity that it is similar to the "Cultural Revolution" a thousand years later.

Now that he has invested in this project, he must prevent this from happening.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoning quickened his pace and went directly to Yingzheng's main hall.

At this time, it was getting late, but Shi Huangdi was still sitting at the table studying the memorial. He stared at the letter in front of him, rubbed his temples, and looked cumbersome, showing that state affairs were not easy.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Ying Zheng's complexion became even worse, and he said without raising his head, "I didn't say that, don't come in and disturb the widow if you have nothing to do!"

"It's so late, is the First Emperor still busy?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ying Zheng quickly raised his head and saw a young man in a strange costume walking in.

"It's you? Why are you here?"

This is a parallel world in the system. If Gu Xiaoning wants to come here, he only needs one thought to get there.

Gu Xiaoning cupped his hands at him, saluted, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Shihuang for a long time, so I came here to see him. I wonder if Shihuang is okay?"

Ying Zheng ordered his servants to make tea, put down the letter temporarily, and sighed long.

"National affairs are worrying, and there is nothing to worry about."

After becoming the emperor, there was no one around him to talk to, and he became a veritable "lonely man". Now that he met Gu Xiaoning, Ying Zheng could speak his mind.

"I heard that the First Emperor has imprisoned many scholars recently, and people inside and outside Xianyang City are in panic. Even children are afraid to continue studying."

It's good not to mention it, but Ying Zheng's expression turned even worse when it was mentioned.

"Hmph, those alchemists, who can't write a pen, can't determine a country with martial arts, just know how to talk about it every day, and say some weird words. It's really hateful. If you kill them, you will kill them. What's the pity?"

Gu Xiaoning smiled slightly, and asked again: "It seems that those alchemists are the only ones who offended Shi Huang. The scholars actually did nothing wrong."

Ying Zheng rubbed his temples, and said again: "Scholars are the easiest to be persuaded. I have received news. Recently, there are not a few scholars who have been encouraged by alchemists."

"They went to the gate of the yamen every three days to protest, saying that the new policy of the widow is not good for scholars, and asked to write a letter, haha..."

"Do you really think that the widow doesn't know? Most of these people are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. They came here deliberately to find trouble. They will be killed directly, so as to save them from causing trouble again."

Gu Xiaoning nodded again and again, it seemed that Yingzheng was thoughtful and had seen the essence through the phenomenon.

But other people can't see through this, let alone ordinary people.

Yingzheng's fanfare of burning books and burying Confucian scholars is actually beheading the dark forces of the Six Kingdoms, but in the eyes of those who don't know, this incident is simply outrageous.

No wonder, because of this, scholars of later generations have written Ying Zheng as a cruel and impermanent tyrant. The writing of these people has not brought any contribution to the country, but it is more than enough to vent their anger on themselves.

"Has Shihuang ever thought that those alchemists did other things besides lobbying scholars?"

Ying Zheng was already suspicious, but now that he heard this, his eyes suddenly turned dark.

"You are outside, have you heard anything? Can you tell the widow?"

"The first emperor's sweep of the six kingdoms was originally a great thing that benefited the country and the people, but in the mouths of the alchemists, the first emperor became a murderous and cold-blooded tyrant. The people could not see the first emperor, but they could see the alchemists. Hearing these things every day, over time, the rumors will become facts, if the first emperor burns books and defrauds scholars at this time, he will definitely fall into the trap of the alchemists and ruin the first emperor's reputation."

Thinking about Gu Xiaoning's words, Ying Zheng immediately reacted, snorted coldly, and his complexion became even worse.

He won the world among the soldiers and horses, and he used to use rough methods to solve problems. Now that he encounters these scheming people, he doesn't know what to do.

"In your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

Gu Xiaoning had already thought of a countermeasure, and now that he heard him ask this question, he said it without reservation.

"It's very simple, release all those alchemists and scholars."

"Let it go? Why?"

Ying Zheng was very puzzled. During this period of time, he had already arrested three to four hundred people, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to kill them all.

"Not only do we have to release them, but we also need to appease them and reopen the academy. In this way, the rumors spread by the alchemists will naturally be self-defeating."

"After the discussion outside subsides, Shihuang will quietly send people to assassinate those alchemists and scholars who made a lot of trouble one after another. The common people will not know who did it, and naturally they will not be able to implicate Shihuang."

Ying Zheng was thoughtful, and felt that Gu Xiaoning's method was very good.

"Very well, I will do as you said. However, people can put it away, but the books still have to be burned."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoning's smile froze on his face just now, and he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why?"

"You don't know that the six countries have different characters, languages, weights and measures, and even the tracks of the cars are different."

"The people of the same Great Qin have so many barriers, and they can't communicate with each other conveniently. The widow wants to fundamentally break this barrier, and burn all useless books."

"All my people in Great Qin should learn the characters and culture prescribed by the imperial court, and discard the things of the six countries. Only in this way can Great Qin develop in the shortest possible time."

Gu Xiaoning nodded, and said: "Shihuang is wise, everything is for the sake of the people, but... has Shihuang ever thought that doing this may bring some bad consequences?"

Ying Zheng didn't believe it, and said with a smile, "What consequences could there be?"

"Shihuang, to tell you the truth, the matter of burning books and burying Confucianism caused great disturbance in later generations. Everyone thinks that you, Shihuang, are vicious and violent. Even after 2000 years, there are still people discussing it."

As the only person who has unified the six countries, Ying Zheng thinks highly of himself, and he certainly doesn't want to be framed and slandered by fabricated rumors.

So when I heard Gu Xiaoning's words, I was naturally worried.

"Is what you said true?"

"Don't dare to lie to Shi Huang."

As Gu Xiaoning said, he turned on the real-time conversion in the system, so Ying Zheng saw the scene after 2000. Many things he had never done were pressed on him, and they were deliberately enlarged, and even compiled into books and various articles. This kind of film and television drama is spreading, teaching people from generation to generation.
