Chapter 151 Banning the bookstall

Feng Quji quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will not dare to do it again."

"Hmph!" Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and hummed: "Tell me! What are you hiding from me?"

Feng Quji muttered, not knowing how to speak, but when he saw the emperor's angry face, he immediately gave up, "It's still about Li Zhao."

"What? It's Li Zhao again?" Ying Zheng stood up from the throne, "Quickly tell me, what's the matter? If that kid does evil things relying on my protection, I will not spare him."

The emperor was a little angry.

"No!" Feng Quji organized his words, "Uncle Sunli went to Chang'an Township that day and came back the same day. He came back in despair. He said, he said"

Feng Quji was about to speak but stopped.

"What did he say?" Ying Zheng yelled.

Feng Quji was frightened and said quickly: "He said that he was kicked out by Li Zhao before he arrived in Chang'an Township, so the preaching could not be completed."

"What?"

"This is my will, how dare Li Zhao?" Ying Zheng glared angrily, and the entire hall immediately fell into a coercive pressure, making Feng Quji tremble.

"You Li Zhao, why don't you refuse to preach and settle the matter? You've rebelled against him."

"Come here, capture Li Zhao immediately!" Ying Zheng was furious.

When Feng Quji heard this, he was startled. The emperor wanted to show his sincerity and quickly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Calm down your anger. These are just Shusuntong's one-sided words and cannot be fully believed. An investigation is needed before we can draw a conclusion."

A word reminded Ying Zheng, and he suppressed his anger, "Forget it! I will get to the bottom of it. If that kid is really like this, he will be severely punished. Only then will he be promoted to commander, and he will start to do his best."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief. He was frightened for Li Zhao, but he was also glad that he reacted quickly.

Just one thing caused His Majesty to react like this. Feng Quji still had something hidden in his heart, but he couldn't say it anymore. He could think that if he continued to say it, Li Zhao's life would be in danger. Only by keeping silent could he save Li Zhao.

So, he backed down.

"Your Majesty, I have remembered. I still have something to do, so please leave!" He stood up slowly, wishing to leave immediately, but the emperor was so shrewd, how could he not know the little girl in his heart, and asked: "No, you still have something to hide from me?

"

"It must be about Li Zhao. Tell us quickly, otherwise we will all be charged with it."

"And you have to answer the question just now, how is the student's mood?"

The emperor's face looked horrifying.

Feng Quji's body that had just stood up sank again, with a bitter look on his face, "Yes, yes, I will say."

"The students' emotions were not suppressed, but intensified."

"What's going on?" The emperor frowned.

"It's Li Zhao again." Feng Quji hesitated, and he could feel the emperor's anger rising.

"A big incident happened in the eastern suburbs this morning. Someone burned classics in the market, attracting dozens of students to watch. The students became furious and destroyed the bookstalls in the eastern suburbs."

"The censor has investigated and found that this bookstall is run by Xiao He, and it must be a property of Chang'an Township."

Feng Quji said this without hiding anything.

"Burn classics? Classics are the treasures of our great Qin Dynasty, and they are also the path to official career for students. Burning classics is like destroying students. Who is so bold?"

Ying Zheng said angrily, but the next moment he was confused: "But why did they destroy the bookstall?"

"Censor, the Censor heard, heard, and burned during the investigation," Feng Quji said intermittently, "The burning was done intentionally by Li Zhao. The purpose was to discredit the classics so that the books at his bookstall could be sold better.

, the students destroyed it only after they knew its intentions.”

"What happened?" The emperor's expression changed drastically. He took a big step and jumped down from the high seat. He was furious, "Li Zhao really does everything he can! How dare you do such a thing?"

"This is like forgetting one's ancestors by counting scriptures, forgetting one's ancestors by counting scriptures!"

Feng Quji lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

"In this case, it must be difficult to control the emotions of the students at this moment! Li Zhao, Li Zhao, you have really done a 'good thing'! It's a waste that I trust you so much."

Ying Zheng's anger could no longer be suppressed. He picked up the inkstone and threw it away. The inkstone hit the ground and broke into two pieces.

Feng Quji was shocked when he saw this. The emperor must have the same attitude of wanting to punish Li Zhao just like before!

He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, this is also a one-sided statement made by the imperial censor. It still needs to be investigated deeply. Yes, it needs to be investigated deeply."

In fact, he was very powerless when he said "in-depth investigation". Things have developed to such a point, what can an in-depth investigation do? In fact, Li Zhao committed too many crimes, and they were all related to the imperial examination.

Please note that this is the time for the imperial examination!

He thought to himself, Li Zhao is obviously very smart, why did he act so stupidly now? It's very unlike him!

"In-depth investigation? Huh!" Ying Zheng tossed his sleeves and was about to have an attack when he heard the guard report, "Your Majesty, Dr. Shusun Tong is waiting for an interview!"

"Shusun Tong? Xuan!"

Shusun Tong was a Confucian scholar, and he had a close friendship with Chunyu Yue. It would not be a good thing for him to ask for an audience at this moment, but he had some influence among the students, so there was no harm in meeting him.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" Shusun Tong saluted as soon as he came in, his attitude was very respectful.

"Ping Sheng! Is something wrong?"

"Yes, I have something to report to Your Majesty, and it is a matter concerning the dignity of our Da Qin students." Shusun Tong held up his hands with an awe-inspiring expression.

Ying Zheng sneered, hearing this, he naturally knew what Shusun Tong wanted to report, "I already know it, you don't need to say it anymore." He didn't want to hear nonsense, "However, I would like to ask you, how do you think this matter should be resolved?

?”

Shusun Tong hesitated. He didn't expect that His Majesty would know so quickly and ask such a question. However, he was prepared for it. After thinking for a while, he said: "I think we should calm the students' emotions as soon as possible and let them take the imperial examination well."

"How to appease?"

"In order to sell their miscellaneous books, the bookstall in the eastern suburbs will use any means to burn classics. This is an insult to the students. Now the students' anger is hard to extinguish. The court may force the situation to change. Since the incident was caused by the bookstall, the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell. I think it can be done by

Let’s start with the bookstall.”

"How to solve?"

"Now students are calling for a ban on bookstalls to bring justice to the classics. I suggest that according to what the students say, the bookstalls in the eastern suburbs should be banned immediately, so as to calm the students' anger."

"Block the bookstall?" Ying Zheng pondered, paced back and forth, glanced at Feng Quji, but saw that he lowered his head and said nothing, so he said cruelly:

"Forget it! It's up to you to handle this matter. You must calm down the students' anger and let the imperial examination proceed smoothly." Ying Zheng finally made the decision.

"Promise!" Shusun Tong quickly accepted the order and left quickly. What no one knew was that after he left the hall, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and that smile of success was so chilling.

After Shusun Tong had gone far away, Feng Quji slowly said, "Your Majesty, is this okay?"

Ying Zheng sneered, "Huh! If it's not good, what will you do?"

Feng Quji lowered his head and was speechless.

The next day, it was spread throughout Xianyang that the miscellaneous books sold at the Dongjiao bookstall were harmful to people and poisoned students. They were banned by Dr. Shu Suntong, who was waiting for an imperial edict. From then on, the three books sold at the bookstall were not allowed to be published again, otherwise they would be burned and the parties involved would be captured.

.

Immediately, this incident caused a stir in Xianyang, and the students all clapped their hands and cheered, so happy!
