Chapter 108: The First Emperor's Transformation [To the Fried Chicken Leader.](1/2)
Chen Ke said directly: "It will definitely go well."
Then he added: "Your Majesty wants this enshrinement to go smoothly, so no matter what, it will go well."
It was as if the words were not said.
But Ying Zheng nodded.
There was a hint of emotion in his voice: "Actually, Feng Chan should push it back."
"That group of Confucian scholars always told me that enthroning Zen requires compliance with etiquette, but no one has ever done so in Mount Tai before."
"And the land of Mount Tai is originally the place to communicate with God."
"I feel that only this place can reflect my majesty."
Ying Zheng regarded Chen Ke as the place where he could confide, and said unhurriedly: "Now, those Confucian scholars want to harm me."
"I understand now."
"No matter what, they will not let my Feng Chan have an easy time."
"If that's the case, why not take advantage of now that you have obtained the Nine Provinces Cauldron and go directly to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk?"
This was said directly, and Chen Ke also expressed that he could understand it.
He looked at Ying Zheng with a calm expression on his face.
"What your Majesty said is true."
"Since Your Majesty has already made a decision in his mind, why bother?"
"No matter what, just do it."
When Chen Ke said this, he also said with emotion: "Yesterday, General Meng's people guarding the old farmer really caught an assassin."
"The assassin was controlled, but General Meng used his trick to make Xiang Liu think that the old farmer was dead."
"And those scholars in the prison in Kuaiji County have also been controlled."
"Even everyone in the entire prison was replaced by General Meng."
"It is impossible for Xiang Liu to know that those Confucian scholars and the old farmer are not dead yet.
"
Chen Ke paused and continued: "I and Prime Minister Li have prepared a satirical article."
"As long as Xiang Liu takes action, the people we left behind in Kuaiji County will spread my articles and those of Prime Minister Li and others at the same time."
He smiled and said: "Although Confucian people are somewhat capable, few people in the world can suppress Prime Minister Li's talents."
"There are not even a few people who can compare with Prime Minister Li."
"As for those who can rival Li Cheng, except for one, the others are already in the hands of Great Qin."
"Confucianism is nothing but a death struggle."
Ying Zheng didn't care about this matter. He looked at the scenery along the way and said calmly.
"Since these matters have been entrusted to you, I will not interfere until they are completed."
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng's voice sounded playful.
"But I never thought that Li Si would have such a status in your heart."
"Isn't it said that men of letters despise each other?"
"The Confucian Xunzi scolded all the disciples at that time."
"I thought you would do the same."
Chen Ke yawned and felt exhausted.
"Your Majesty, I am not an orthodox scholar?"
He was leaning on the chariot half-paralyzed, looking relaxed and casual.
"I'm just a waste. If I could do everything well all day long and just lie down, I don't know how happy I would be."
"People must be self-aware and admit their shortcomings."
Chen Ke half-squinted his eyes: "By the way, Your Majesty, have you read the thing I gave you before?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke and said helplessly: "Are you talking about the Mo family?"
"Didn't I tell you to leave those matters to you?"
Chen Ke sat up straight, looking very serious at this moment.
"Your Majesty, what I value is not the Mohist family, but the craftsmen headed by the Mohist family."
"I think these craftsmen are very important."
He looked at Ying Zheng and said, "So, I would like to invite your Majesty to meet the Mo family."
"important?"
Ying Zheng didn't care.
They are just some craftsmen. They are indeed important, but they don’t need to be taken seriously, right?
Perhaps seeing what Ying Zheng meant, Chen Ke sighed inwardly.
But there was still a look of persistence on his face.
"Your Majesty, why do you think our Great Qin was able to attack the Six Kingdoms? What is the reason?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke and said, "There's no need to test me, I know."
"First, it's because of Shang Jun's reforms, and second, it's because of our Da Qin's method of smelting iron and forging iron."
Chen Ke nodded slightly, looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, since you know that the reason for Da Qin's attack on the Six Kingdoms was iron smelting, why do you still not attach great importance to craftsmen?"
He couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, it's not just the method of smelting iron."
“The importance of craftsmen is reflected in every aspect of life.”
"Such as advanced agricultural tools, modern weapons, modern living utensils, etc."
“These things are the driving force that drives us forward.”
"I think your Majesty can ignore ordinary "craftsmen"."
"Because ordinary, ordinary craftsmen cannot have any impact on Da Qin."
"But just like the Mohists, I feel that I am no longer a 'craftsman', but a 'researcher'."
Chen Ke's low voice kept falling on Ying Zheng's ears.
Ying Zheng also followed Chen Ke's narration and slowly sat up straight.
Even though I still have no interest in craftsmen.
But when Chen Ke divided "craftsmen" into craftsmen and researchers, Ying Zheng understood the reason.
He squinted his eyes and his voice was a little hoarse: "I probably understand what you mean."
"I have a question."
Ying Zheng looked into Chen Ke's eyes and said very seriously: "The word research reminds me of the "rules" you mentioned."
"So, do researchers have anything to do with rules?"
In his mind, Ying Zheng directly connected researchers with rules, immortals and other things.
And this was enough for Ying Zheng to start paying attention to researchers.
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng who suddenly took him seriously, but actually felt a little helpless.
China's lack of emphasis on craftsmen has been engraved in its bones since ancient times.
Therefore, he can only come up with a concept for the time being to distinguish between craftsmen and researchers.
Even in this era, a lot of the work of the two actually overlaps.
"Your Majesty."
Chen Ke's expression was serious, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.
"Researchers study the rules of all things in the world, and I believe that there are many types of rules in the world."
At this time, Chen Ke looked a little wanton.
"All things grow according to rules, things change according to rules, and the seasons change according to rules."
Chen Ke pointed to the chariot under him: "Even the operation of this chariot has rules."
He looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I will give you an example."
"Alchemists often make alchemy. Your Majesty, have you ever heard of or seen "exploding furnace"?"
Ying Zheng nodded directly.
"The winter before last, a scholar was refining elixirs in the palace and accidentally exploded the furnace."
