Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

After leaving Shangcai County, Li Si traveled day and night, travel-laden, and finally arrived in Lanling half a month later.

Arriving at the bustling Lanling City again, Li Si no longer felt the envy and shock of the previous life. Holding his already hungry stomach, he walked through the bustling streets and found an inn. .

As soon as he entered the inn, Li Si saw a group of scribes gathered in front of a food table, seeming to be arguing about something. Li Si was curious, and surrounded him, just in time to hear a scribe speak impassionedly: "You legalists advocate severe punishment. Strict law, emphasizing the monarch and despising the people, liking profit but hating harm, not paying attention to etiquette, and not respecting the king's way. Nowadays, the tyranny of various countries, endless wars, and treachery are the disasters of legalists like you. Such fallacies are really inhumane and unjust The way of concubines, the learning of beasts!"

As soon as the words were finished, there were bursts of loud applause from around. The scribe glanced around triumphantly, sat down on his knees again, and turned his provocative eyes on the person who argued with him.

Hearing that he was scolding the Legalists, Liston suddenly became interested, and forgot that he was in a state of hunger, waiting for the answer from the person arguing with the Confucian scholars.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no answer.

Could it be that he was rendered speechless by the Confucian scholars?Shaking his head in disappointment, Li Si thought in his heart, even this can't stand it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't listen to such an argument.

Just as Li Si turned and prepared to leave, a difficult and slow voice sounded in the room: "Ru Yi, Yi, Wen..."

Before the man finished speaking, the Confucian scholar interrupted his words with a burst of laughter, and said contemptuously: "The famous Korean son, Xun Qing's favorite student——Han Fei, that's all!"

The moment he heard that person's voice, Li Si's footsteps stopped suddenly. Hearing the Confucian scholar's words again, Li Si walked back quickly. Big, isn't that handsome young man kneeling in front of the food table his senior brother Han Fei?

After staring blankly like this for a while, Li Si's mood calmed down a little. He had imagined countless scenes of meeting Han Fei again, and imagined how to say the first sentence countless times, but in The moment he really saw that familiar face, Li Si's throat was a little choked up.

The appearance of Han Fei when he was dying appeared in his mind again. The noble son who was originally a high-spirited nobleman was already neither a human nor a ghost at that time.Sure enough, to this day, he still couldn't let go of Han Fei's death, even though it wasn't anyone's fault.

It was also Han Fei's own choice to die for the country.

"Confucianism, Yiwen, Wenchao..."

"Why, Han Fei, are you so incapable of speaking because of my refutation? Aren't you very good?" Hearing the Confucian scholar's intention to interrupt Han Fei again, his tone was aggressive.

Li Si clenched his lowered hands tightly, and now Li Si was sure that the Confucian scholar deliberately bullied Han Fei, a man who was not good at talking, and increased his reputation by suppressing the famous Han Fei.Seeing Han Fei being bullied by such a villain, Li Si has never been so angry since his rebirth.

After being interrupted twice in a row, seeing the contemptuous gazes of those people, and listening to the buzzing voices of those people, even Han Fei's face turned reddish, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

After being stunned for a while, Han Fei opened his mouth again, but couldn't say anything.

The Confucian scholar was even more proud. He squinted his eyes and smiled, and was about to say something when Li Si's clenched fist suddenly loosened. Then, a loud voice came from the crowd of onlookers.

"Confucianism confuses the law with literature, and harms the country with empty talk. It is worthy of the shameless learning of the great hypocrites of the world!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it was so loud that there was no sound in the hotel for a moment, leaving only the sentence "The Brazen Learning of the Great Puppet" echoing in everyone's ears.

After a long time, the Confucian scholar stood up panting heavily, pointed to the direction from which the voice came from and said, "What a 'big hypocrisy with shamelessness'! Your Excellency might as well come out and speak, so that we can all see you Who is the sage who has such a big tone!"

The onlookers waited with bated breath, wanting to see which famous person would dare to speak such wild words, and even Han Fei, who was kneeling, sat up slightly.

The crowd parted, only to see a young man in ragged clothes coming out from behind the crowd. His face was covered with dust and mud. Although his face was unkempt, his eyes were full of sharpness. His whole body was like a sword about to be unsheathed. Even dust can't stop that proud and sharp temperament.

He strode forward with his head held high, cast a cold glance at the Confucian scholar, and said proudly, "I'm Li Si, an unknown soldier in Shangcai County."

"Shangcai Lisi? Have you ever heard of it?" Confucian scholar asked the crowd.

The scribes onlookers looked at each other in blank dismay, discussing one after another: "Li Si? Who is it? I've never heard of it!"

"Which master should I be? I'm just a nobody!" The Confucian scholar sneered when no one knew about Li Si.

Li Si ignored the sarcasm of the Confucian scholars and the voices of the crowd, and he bowed his hands to Han Fei: "To see Han Fei today, the gentleman's demeanor really lives up to his reputation."

Han Fei glanced at Li Si gratefully, stood up, cupped his hands and said slowly, "Your honor, your demeanor is no less than that of Fei."

Han Fei was at a disadvantage, but Li Si deliberately favored Han Fei over Confucian scholars. This move was tantamount to slapping Confucian scholars in the face.

He stopped targeting Han Fei, and turned to Li Si with a sneer, "Since your Excellency denounces Confucianism as false, it must be because you have insights that are not inferior to the words of sages. Your Excellency may as well talk about it, and we will all listen to it."

Although this Confucian scholar said he wanted to "listen all ears", it sounded like a compliment, but it seemed like a compliment. The big hat can't get off the stage.

But who is Li Si?

He is the prime minister of the Great Qin, the number two figure in the Great Qin Empire, one person under one man and above ten thousand people.In his eyes, what is a sage?The biography of the sages is written by Li Siyan, and the disciples of the sages are written by Li Sikeng!

As for the Confucian scholar in front of him, in Li Si's eyes, he was nothing more than a clown. If he couldn't bear to see Han Fei humiliated, Li Si wouldn't even bother wasting words with him.

Li Si smiled proudly, and argued loudly: "Confucianism uses writings to determine right and wrong in the world, and if they don't follow the laws of the country, they use writing to disrupt the law.

Confucianism judges all affairs in the world with its own reasoning, regardless of national conditions, and it is empty talk that harms the country.

Confucianism is full of words that people, nobles, and rulers despise benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, but it also preaches that punishment is not as good as a doctor, and courtesy is not as good as an ordinary person.It is said that they value righteousness over profit and do not count gains and losses, but they are diligently seeking officials everywhere, panicking like a stray dog, so capricious, words and deeds are inconsistent, it is a big hypocrisy.

It is shameless for Confucianism to scold all the theories of the world, but to respect one's own learning as the way of the country.Such a hypocritical and cheeky school can only talk about chaos and law, and has no good strategy for governing the country. It dares to talk about things, isn't it a big joke to the world! "

Li Si's words have fallen, but the surroundings are still silent. Li Si's words are well-founded, scolding Confucianism from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and people can't find anything to refute place.

After a long time, I heard a scribe shout: "Well said!" The applause was like a thunderbolt, which woke up the crowd suddenly. Immediately, there was a long-lasting and loud applause from the crowd. For a while, The small inn was full of voices and applause.

After a long time, the cheers faded away, and Li Si raised his chin and asked the Confucian scholar in front of him, "You, have you nothing to say?"

Let you scold the Legalists, let you bully Han Fei, now you can't even fart!

Although he didn't say it in his mouth, Li Si thought in his heart to relieve his hatred.

The Confucian scholar opened his mouth to argue with Li Si, but he said he had nothing to say, his face turned blue and red, and he was ashamed for a while.He waved his hands at Li Si indiscriminately, and walked away in a desperate manner. Seeing his figure leaving in a state of embarrassment, another burst of laughter erupted in the inn.

The laughter gradually stopped, and the scribes who were watching dispersed when the debate was over, leaving only Han Fei standing where he was.

After a while, Han Fei walked up to Li Si and bowed solemnly.

Li Si hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and quickly said in his mouth: "How can Li Si receive such a great gift!"

Only Li Si knew in his heart that most of his remarks were borrowed from Han Fei's later works. Han Fei was not as good as himself in terms of human relations and worldly sophistication, but Han Fei was definitely far better than him in terms of writing books and writing skills.

But Han Fei said very seriously: "You are a great talent, you can bear it."

Han Fei seldom praised people in his life, but this person in front of him made him praise him twice in one day.When the man spoke for the first time to argue, Han Fei was amazed that the man seemed to have the same thoughts as himself, and he actually said what he thought.

When he argued for the second time, Han Fei's surprise turned into ecstasy.

"This Li Si is definitely not something in the pool. His knowledge and ability may not be inferior to mine!"

All, after everyone dispersed, only Han Fei did not leave. On the one hand, he wanted to express his gratitude. More importantly, Han Fei had a premonition that this person would become the person who changed his life, or his confidant. Or rivals, their fates are destined to be tightly entangled.

Seeing that it was Han Fei with a serious face, Li Si sighed helplessly. His senior brother was stubborn, and he couldn't tell the truth. Li Si simply avoided talking about this topic, so he turned to Han Fei for a request. Said: "Si came to Lanling from Shangcai County to worship Xunqing as his teacher and practice the art of the emperor. He has long heard that Brother Han is a high-ranking student of Xunzi. I wonder if you can take me to see Xunqing."

After confirming that Li Si also came to Lanling to study, Han Fei was overjoyed. He grabbed Li Si's hand and walked out, wishing that Li Si would immediately visit Xun Qing and enter the academy to be his companion.

"Han...Brother Han! Wait!"

Han Fei stopped, looking confused.

Li Si said embarrassingly: "I went to the city to patronize the debate today, I... haven't eaten yet..."

As soon as the words fell, Li Si's stomach unexpectedly let out a series of cooing sounds.

Han Fei was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Han Fei smiling so happily, Li Si remembered that even when he first arrived in Lanling in his previous life, he was not so down that he didn't even have a meal. face!Thinking of this, Li Si also laughed out loud. The two of them were on this street, laughing forward and backward, laughing without any scruples.

From time to time, some passers-by passed by them, and they all sighed: "Looking at these two people, they are so handsome and healthy, but they are actually crazy people, what a pity!"

When Li Si heard this, he shook Han Fei's hand and smiled even more happily.

Looking back on his previous life, since he left Lanling, he lived every day with trepidation like walking on thin ice. Li Si couldn't remember how long he hadn't laughed like this.
