Chapter 112 Section 4: The Origin of Confucianism

When it comes to burning books, people immediately think of burying Confucianism.The pitting of Confucianism occurred in the year following the burning of books, that is, the thirty-fifth year of Yingzheng. Its origin is as follows: Let's say that six years ago, Yingzheng was obsessed with immortals and the elixir of immortality. He went around and recruited warlocks, and paid them a lot of money to help them find immortals and elixir of immortality for him.Several visits before and after, all ended in failure.Yingzheng was not discouraged, but the scale and intensity of funding increased.

Ever since, in the small circle of warlocks, the news was spread like this: The emperor here is stupid, he has a lot of money, come quickly.For a time, warlocks all over the world gathered in Xianyang.The more Ying Zheng is, the better, and he will not refuse anyone. As long as the warlock proposes an idea, he can immediately get a huge sum of money.Ying Zheng knew in his heart that most of the sorcerers running from all directions were Mr. Nan Guo, but it didn't matter, he didn't care about the money.The road is long and long, and I will plant widely and reap little. However, six years passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no sign of the immortal or the elixir.The warlocks couldn't help but feel guilty, the matter has come to this point, no matter good or bad, they have to give Ying Zheng an explanation.Warlocks are not stupid, so naturally they won't honestly admit that there are no immortals and immortality medicines in the world, because we have more warlocks, so we have them.They didn't want to ruin their jobs, they wanted to continue to engage in this costless career, so they took the tactic of delaying the attack and shifted the responsibility for the failure to Ying Zheng.

The sorcerer Lu Sheng reported to Yingzhenghui that the reason why the ministers repeatedly asked for the immortal and the elixir of immortality was because of evil spirits.Your Majesty should forget the identity of the emperor and dress up as an ordinary person to avoid evil spirits.If you avoid the evil spirits, the real person will come.Your Majesty can't deal with state affairs, and can't contact the ministers of the court, otherwise, he can't be calm and disliked by real people.No one should know about the palace where His Majesty lives.If His Majesty has done these things, he will definitely get the medicine of immortality.

Lu Sheng's magnificent theory is probably a kind of self-extrication technique.Asking Yingzheng to give up power, stay away from state affairs, and isolate himself from the world, this requirement is a bit ridiculously high.According to Lu Sheng's thinking, it is best for Ying Zheng to retreat when he knows the difficulties, unwilling to cooperate, and then the matter of seeking immortality will naturally fade away.Reluctantly, Ying Zheng has gone mad and really believed Lu Sheng's words.In order to become immortal and not die, this little price is nothing! Ying Zheng is full of sincerity.He first gave up the emperor's special title of "Zhen", and called himself Zhenren instead.According to Lu Sheng's suggestion, the temples within 200 miles of Xianyang were connected by complex roads and corridors, and each temple was filled with curtains, bells and beauties to confuse people.Wherever the whereabouts go, whoever dares to leak it will be punished with death.

The government affairs of the empire are still handled in the Xianyang Palace, but Yingzheng is no longer present.When the ministers played, they faced the empty emperor's throne, as if they were performing against a blue screen, which really tested their acting skills. One day, Yingzheng drove to Liangshan Palace. From the mountain, he saw Prime Minister Li Si riding a crowd, and he was very unhappy.Someone quietly told Li Si, and Li Si simply followed suit.Yingzheng was furious when he found out, and said, "This person leaked my words." No one agreed to look for the leaker.So everyone who was around at that time was ordered to be arrested and killed.Since then, no one else has learned of Ying Zheng's whereabouts.

Although Ying Zheng's move was not necessarily aimed at Li Si, it also made Li Si look very bad.In the eyes of those warlocks, in order to become an immortal, Ying Zheng even turned his back on Prime Minister Li Si and his closest comrade-in-arms, which shows his seriousness and dedication to becoming an immortal. The more obsessive Ying Zheng is, the greater the pressure on Warlock.Once Ying Zheng realizes that he has been cheated, what kind of revenge he will launch!You know, Ying Zheng is not the idiot emperor in "The Emperor's New Clothes", he will never suffer from being dumb.

Those prophetic warlocks began to panic all day long.This time I got away with fooling around, but what about next time?If you continue to deceive like this, sooner or later something will happen, and if it happens, it will be a big deal.Wealth is precious, but life is more expensive. Thirty-six strategies are the best policy.
