Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 597 A hundred schools of thought criticize Daqin and build momentum against Qin
"Our Confucianism remains neutral, and it is impossible to make any remarks against Daqin!"

"So, miss the public loser, you'd better go back and forth from wherever you came from!" The old man representing Confucianism shook his hands impatiently.

Hearing the eviction order, Gong Shuwan still sat upright on the ground, and said softly with an indifferent expression: "Little girl, it's not that Mister is really against Qin."

"It is in my personal capacity, not on behalf of Confucianism, to make remarks against Daqin Sheji."

"Impossible!" The Confucian old man turned his back, raised his hands and reprimanded lightly: "You are ruining my reputation!"

"Sir, there is a reason for the incident, not to make trouble, sorry for the little girl's difficulty in explaining, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the old Confucianist scolded again: "Miss of the public loser, if you talk again, don't blame the old man for driving me away!"

"Seeing that you are a descendant of the Mohist Gongshu, this old man treats you politely, but you let the old man do things that destroy his reputation and even destroy Confucianism!"

"Miss of the public loser, what are your intentions?"

The Confucian old man turned his face slightly, and was very impatient with the cold: "Before the old man gives you back, hurry up!"

After being ordered to evict guests again, Gong Shuwan still didn't get up, and said calmly to herself, "Mr., let me repeat for the last time."

"You like to repeat it over and over again!" The Confucian old man shook his head in displeasure, and said in a loud voice, "It's impossible for me to make such remarks!"

"With the size of my Confucian believer, even if I take my position as my own, if I criticize Daqin, there will be many people..."

Ding!
There was a chill on his neck, and the Confucian old man froze.

"Miss of the public loser, how dare you be so rude and greet with your sword!!!"

Gong Shuwan held the sharp sword against his neck, and said softly with a nonchalant expression: "Mr., don't blame me for being rude."

"It's also because you have such power of speech that I don't hesitate to risk offending you..."

The Confucian old man's expression darkened. He was indignant at this behavior and remarks, but he did not dare to refute.

Even though as a literati, he has his own integrity, but now... the sharp sword around his neck is emitting a chill, and he dare not say anything more.

"Old man, I can't say much, at least I can tell you that before you... many gentlemen have agreed."

"Although you Confucians don't engage in politics, you have a huge public opinion effect in the hearts of the people, so...we need you."

The old Confucianist's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said through the gaps between his teeth: "Our Confucianism has remained neutral for many years, let us oppose Qin..."

"No, it's not." Seeing his tone slow down a bit, Gong Shuwan put away his sword and saluted as an apology.

Immediately, he said softly: "It is you who oppose Qin, not Confucianism as a whole. The representative is your position, not the position of Confucianism."

"Here," the Confucian old man turned his head emotionally, but seeing the sharp sword in Gong Shuwan's hand trembled slightly, he also smacked his lips.

Controlling his tone and emotion, he said in a concentrated voice: "You are ruining the old man's reputation! The rest of your life... No, I'm afraid the grave will not be protected!"

Seeing that he couldn't understand what he was saying, Gong Shuwan curled his lips speechlessly.

"Old man, you must also know about the rebellion of the former Prime Minister Zhao Gao?"

"Of course the old man knows that Zhao Gao was executed and all the factions were also cleared.

"Even the Marquis Chang Yu who brought great changes to Daqin..."

A few days ago, the city of Xianyang was purged, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries were sacked. This incident shocked the whole of Daqin.

However, due to the suppression of the government, not many people dared to discuss it, but it does not mean that no one knew about it.

As a great scholar of Confucianism, of course he knew what happened, and he exclaimed in his heart that he was happy!
Unexpectedly, after not being happy for a long time, it came that... Hanzhong Hou Changyu was assassinated and died and a state funeral was held.

This really makes many factions who maintain neutrality regret and resent those scumbags who oppose the Qin Dynasty!
Before she finished speaking, Gong Shuwan raised her hand to interrupt: "You are right about some things, and you are wrong about some things."

"Huh?" The Confucian old man hesitated for a moment, then woke up: "Miss of the public loser, you mean..."

"Hush!" Gong Shuwan made a booing gesture, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled into a half-smile: "There are some things, as long as you know and I know."

"So, it's not that I was asked to make anti-Qin remarks..." The Confucian old man's face changed slightly and he was shocked.

I understand, isn't that what I said at the beginning?This old guy is too paranoid to think carefully!
"You are you, and Confucianism is Confucianism. I hope the old man can distinguish clearly."

Gong Shuwan took a few steps back and saluted, "Little girl, thank you on his behalf."

"I understand." The Confucian old man was turning around, and also bowed to Gong Shuwan: "Since there is a need, the old man will definitely not refuse!"

Although they didn't mention who it was, they all knew in their hearts who they were talking about.

His arrival has changed the embarrassing situation of Daqin in recent years, and made many people have enough to eat.

Taxes have been reduced, living standards have been improved, and the social life of Daqin has been greatly improved. In the eyes of this group of literati, it is at the level of a savior!
However, because some people are short-sighted and cannot see far, they secretly use various means to harm and discredit Da Qin, making them very angry but helpless.

Now, if they are able to help them, even though they are criticizing Daqin...but they are also smart people, and they can get it right.

The Confucian old man also stroked his long beard and sighed: "No wonder, except for the old man, there are already so many people who have learned to make critical remarks."

Gong Shuwan put away the sword, pinned it on her waist, and stood aside without saying a word, looking at the Confucian old man who was sighing indifferently.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, the Confucian old man came back to his senses, rolled up his sleeves, walked to the desk and sat down.

"Come here! Get me my pen and ink, I will use my old bones today!"

The risks and consequences of publishing remarks criticizing Daqin are very serious, as he said... After a hundred years, he may be dug up and thrown away.

But he can also understand what he will get in exchange for doing this. As a scholar who practices Confucianism, if this move is beneficial to the people...

Even if the grave is dug up and the body is thrown away, that is willing, at least the person behind it is the great sage they admire.

He has come here to help, and as literati and scholars who see his achievements in their eyes, of course they will not stand idly by!

Clearing up the traitors and letting the people of Daqin live a peaceful and prosperous life is something they dare to think about but can't do!
Under Gong Shuwan's onlookers, the old Confucian man held a brush in his hand, and scribbled down remarks criticizing Daqin on the paper.

This also means that he will switch from the neutral camp to the anti-Qin camp.

Although it may not be understood, but he has a clear conscience, that's fine.

Gong Shuwan also promised that if the plan is successful, he will also have a clean reputation.
