[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

In the Imperial Dungeon, Yan Lu is haggard, he should have been tortured.His fingers were injured and temporarily unable to write, let alone hold a sword.With guilt on his face at this moment, he looked at the prisoner in the next cell and said, "Eldest brother, if it wasn't for the road, the elder brother shouldn't be here."

The prisoner next door is Fu Nian, the head of the Confucian school. His condition is better than Yan Lu. Although his robes have not been changed for a few days, they are neat and meticulous, but the jade pendants hanging around his waist on weekdays have disappeared.

At this moment, he is copying a volume of bamboo books, and it has been like this since he got the bamboo slips and brush in the prison.

Fu Nian's subordinates paused for a moment, he has been silent since he came to Xianyang.

After the Mohists and Zongheng left Sanghai, Zhao Gao's nets raided the Confucian little sage village on the pretext that the Confucians harbored important criminals from the empire. He and his teacher watched them burn down the precious bamboo books of the six countries in the Confucian library.

As long as he stopped, the library collapsed into ashes in his eyes.So when he came to the Xianyang dungeon, he exchanged all the valuable things around him for bamboo writing brushes, and began to silently recite all the bamboo slips he could remember in the dictation library, non-stop.At this moment, he is silently writing "Feng Xu Zhi Ming" in "Shang Shu".

Unexpectedly, the main criminals captured by the net with great fanfare were not the two young disciples who had just been recruited by Confucianism, but Zifang.The third head of Confucianism is actually an important prisoner of the empire. On this point, Fu Nian, the head of Confucianism, is duty-bound.So when Yan Lu was arrested and escorted to Xianyang by secret order, Fu Nian pleaded guilty, claiming that he was responsible for negligence.

As the head of the sect, Fu Nian took the initiative to ask for responsibility, and presented the second-ranked sword Tai'a to the emperor. Only then did all the other disciples of Confucianism, Xiaoshengxian Village, and Xun Kuang's bamboo house be saved. Infested.

Yan Luqian, a gentleman, is a very gentle person. He has always blamed himself: "It's all my fault. If the net hadn't caught me and the ovary, how could the elder brother—"

can not say.

Can't mention it.

But all great Confucians know that it is not easy to preserve the ancient and modern bamboo books, and it is even more difficult to accept being burned once than ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.

Feeling the pain, Yan Lu felt even more guilty.

They are all thinking that Confucian works cannot be destroyed in his hands, and Confucian ideas cannot be destroyed in their generation.

Fu Nian was in a daze for a while before looking at his junior brother, but there was no trace of blame in his eyes: "When you were accepted by the master, you already knew your identity, why should you blame me?" His expression softened a little, and he recalled a little: "Zifang also said that the sage patriarch taught Confucian disciples to do their part, and it's for righteousness."

Yan Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

That day Fang quarreled with his senior brother, and he stopped calling him senior senior brother, and instead called the sect master senior brother to express his dissatisfaction.He asked the big brothers who are benevolent, loving, righteous, and altruistic. If someone is in danger, should Confucians stand up or stand by for their own safety and interests.

Ovary, always like this.

So they all knew that Zifang was destined to accomplish his career in this troubled world.

Fu Nian put down his bamboo pen and shook his head: "Fortunately, Zifang is not in Sanghai. Finally, someone can pass on Confucianism." He didn't try to appease Yan Lu. Take care naturally.Zhang Liang is by no means a thing in a pool, and one day he will use his knowledge to influence people in the world, whether he wants to or not, there will be his way for him to go on.Fu Nian admired this junior brother very much, and admired the kind of recklessness in him that he couldn't have.

And he, from the moment he took over Confucianism, he was doomed to shoulder the mission of the rise and fall of Confucianism.

A gentleman does not blame heaven, nor favor others.

On his shoulders, there is only the word commitment.

There were not many bamboo slips exchanged for jade pendants, jade jues, etc., and Fu Nian quickly ran out of them.Writing books by heart is exhausting, and the two of them only have a negligible amount of Shumi paste all day long, and they have no energy left.

After silently writing this chapter, Fu Nian put down the brush and slowly adjusted his internal breath.

Yan Lu also had a pile of bamboo slips at hand, in fact he copied two copies, one on the bamboo slips and one on the inside of the real long gown.Seeing Fu Nian resting his pen, he handed the saved dry food to Fu Nian through the wooden fence, and then whispered: "Brother, don't you think the expressions of the two cell leaders are different?"

Fu Nian thought for a while, nodded and said: "I saw that the new jailer is wearing cowhide boots, not an ordinary jailer."

Yan Lu guessed: "In the death row of the empire, there is still a need for a disguise, a trapper?"

Fu Nian pondered: "It's just that I don't know why the trappers set up ambush here?"

Yan Ludao: "The calamity of the little sage's village is the death of Confucian scholars in the world. This news must not be concealed. Maybe it is the petition of Confucian scholars?"

Fu Nian thought for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "Those who can lay out the trap must not be idle. Although Confucianism is a famous school in the world, most of them will not take the initiative to become an enemy of the empire."

Yan Lu lowered his head and said softly, "Brother, did you ever feel that Luo Wang's security is much tighter?"

Fu Nian and him looked at each other: "Is there someone who made the nets afraid of entering Xianyang?"

If someone really came to rob the prison, it must be a few people from Confucianism, Mohism or Strategist, and those two people are probably the only ones who can make Luo Wang afraid.

The minds of the two have realized something in a flash, and they each re-adjust their breath.If someone really robbed the prison, they must not be troubled.

The sun was setting just right, and the order of the CRRC government boiled water in a copper pot in the courtyard, and the prime minister of the empire was sitting opposite him.

The firepower of the small charcoal stove is good, but the water in the cauldron is gradually boiling.

Zhao Gao used a small bamboo skip to put some roasted and dried leaves into the water, and the boiling water instantly turned yellow-green, and the bitter fragrance diffused.

Li Sidao: "Master CRRC Mansion is very interested."

Zhao Gao poured the boiled tea into two pottery cups, held one of them up to the tip of the table nose and sniffed: "It is said that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, and when he boiled water in the forest one day, he found just a few leaves. It floated into the cauldron. Shennong tasted it and felt that it has miraculous effects, it can detoxify and produce body fluid."

Li Si also picked up the cup in front of him and tasted it carefully: "Si also read a lot of books in his early years. He heard that the farmer interpreted the secret treasure, but he didn't expect that the CRRC Mansion ordered him to see it for himself. It is very different from the tea and honey that the Shu land attacked." He glanced at Zhao Gao in the rising water vapor: "It seems that the farmer is already in the bag of the CRRC Mansion Commander."

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth curled up: "Your Excellency, it can be said that you can know autumn from a single leaf."

Li Si has always been worried about the fact that Zhao Gao did not communicate with Gai Nie when he entered Xianyang, fearing that Zhao Gao would hide something from him.Since they wanted to cooperate, Zhao Gao had to show Li Si some sincerity.Anyway, it's meaningless to hide the layout of the farmhouse and when it's time to unveil it, so it's better to give Li Si a hint.A cup of tea can not only let Li Si know that he has an ambush in the farm, but also increase his bargaining chip to cooperate with Li Si, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The fact that Luo Wang had been on guard at the farm for a long time made Li Si even more afraid of Luo Wang's ability.

Fusu didn't respect himself as a prime minister. Although his sons often married princesses and his daughters married sons, the more honored and respected he was, the more anxious he felt.

Prosperity and decline seem to be inevitable.

How to maintain the honor of his own family after the death of the emperor, and how to preserve the honor and favor of his descendants after his death, have become more difficult problems for him at this moment.

At this time, Zhao Gao began to hint him frequently.

Li Si took a sip of the tea soup, with a delicate expression: "Master Zhao, how is the eighteenth son's studies?"

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "The eighteenth son is smart and studious, and the techniques of criminal law are redundant and complicated, but he enjoys watching it. I occasionally persuade the son to rest earlier, but the son uses the story of the prime minister's hard work in his early years to motivate himself and refuses to relax. "

"No, it's the CRRC Mansion that Mr. Zhao is very knowledgeable about the criminal law." Li Si was stunned by this flattery, and mutual compliments are still necessary at his level.

Closer to home, Li Si put down his cup: "I don't know if there is any clue about the whereabouts of Gai Nie, the imperial criminal?"

Zhao Gao poured spring water into the copper pot, and looked at Li Si: "Gai Nie has been in Xianyang for ten years, and he knows Xianyang well. He really hides his whereabouts, and it is not easy to find out."

Li Si also said: "I heard that he abandoned Yuanhong and used wooden swords instead, so the magnet mechanism of the Xianyang Palace Zhangtai is useless to him."

Zhao Gaodao: "It can be seen that his disobedience to His Majesty is clearly revealed."

Li Si remembered Wei Zhuang quietly sneaking into the Sanghai Manor to threaten him that day, and it was impossible to sleep in the mansion, so he said: "Then what should I do?"

Zhao Gao was waiting for him to ask this question, and said: "I have a plan - it just involves Confucianism, and it involves the former fellow of the prime minister, so it is a bit embarrassing."

Li Si is also a human being, but he immediately understood Zhao Gao's intention: "Master Zhao intends to use Fu Nian and Yan Lu as bait?"

Zhao Gaodao: "They harbored important criminals from the empire, and they refused to obey His Majesty's letter to Tongwen. They were already guilty of beheading. To spare them the punishment of sitting together is an extrajudicial favor. It is only related to Confucianism, so naturally we must first inform the prime minister."

The water boiled again, and Zhao Gao added a cup of tea in time.

Li Si played with Yu Jue, who was wearing a robe on his waist, and didn't touch the pottery cup again: "Everything is about the safety of His Majesty, and the interests of the empire. The CRRC Mansion orders you not to worry about this."

Zhao Gao got the answer to his heart's content. The prime minister of a country seems gentle, but he is a person who can deceive his teachers and destroy his ancestors for his own prosperity and wealth. He doesn't even bother to say a word of pleading for Confucianism.

In this way, you can lure it.

The author has something to say: I am calling the big brother in this paragraph. I still remember that the first time the big brother showed cuteness was the moment when Aunt Gongsun followed Fusu to visit the Confucianism and showed her true face. Being knocked dizzy by the drop, Mubi showed an expression begging for comfort but desperately holding back, cute.

Later, the scene where the elder brother debated with Zifang was indeed a classic. The elder brother was neither timid nor cowardly. He just knew that he shouldered the mission of letting Confucianism pass on, and he couldn't put the whole Confucianism at risk.

The key word of the big brother is to bear the word.

The modest gentleman in this title refers to both Yan Lu and Senior Senior Brother.

I wrote Tianwen dedicated to the King of Qin, because in history, it seems that there is Tianwen among the ritual vessels buried with Zulong.

Science, from Du Niang:

Lu Yu said in "The Classic of Tea": "Tea as a drink originated from Shennong."

The earliest records about tea can be found in "Huayang Guozhi" written by Chang Wei in the Jin Dynasty, which records: "King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, and he really got the teacher of Bashu... tea and honey... all paid tribute." The time when King Wu defeated Zhou Around 1066 BC, it can be seen that China has a history of at least 3000 years of clearly recorded tea events.Among the documents that can be seen now, there are definite records of tea, and the earliest and most reliable one should be "Tong Yue" written by Wang Bao of the Han Dynasty.This article was written in the third year of Shenjue (59 BC) of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and it is an important document in the history of tea science.Among them, "cooking tea (Editor's note: "tea" is the early name of tea) all", "Wuyang buys tea" shows that "tea" has become a social diet at that time, and it is a precious food used to entertain guests. Since then, drinking tea has become popular among the middle class.

Of course, at that time, there were ginger, onion, garlic and spices in the tea, I don’t know what it tastes like.
