Chapter 362: The First Assassination
There were twenty seats in two rows of benches. When Ying Gao waved his hand to signal them to sit down, the twenty seats were indeed filled quickly, but Ying Gao saw the difference. After seeing it, a shiny light flashed in his eyes. He looked back at the Zhu family standing beside him. He saw that the Zhu family was also slightly gazes in two places, and nodded at Ying Gao. Ying Gao then turned around.
In fact, Ying Gao's time is not like cabbage. He can always talk about the same length of time with these twenty people in the court.
The fundamental purpose of Ying Gao’s organization of this school entrance examination is only one, that is, to find a suitable partner for Lu Jia and share the doubts from different schools.
So when these twenty people were seated, Ying Gao directly revealed his question this time.
"I am now in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. The new policies I want to implement are far more than the three I had implemented before. Now my counselor in the court has an idea that has not yet become the new policy of our Qin Dynasty. I will express my views on this new policy. After that, based on your views, I will choose someone suitable for my Qin Dynasty. I will study the matters of this new policy with the Zuo Prime Minister and the counselor in the court. I will only be from this time to noon. After the counselor in the court, I can speak, but each person can only speak once, so don't respond hastily."
Ying Gao only gave them half a day, but for these twenty people, half a day was considered a great gift, at least each of them had the opportunity to express their views to the emperor.
But obviously, this opportunity is only once, and how to use it is very particular about everyone. If you are anxious and don’t say all your talents, you may fall into a inferior position in comparison with others.
But if you have to wait until the end, you may even be able to speak. Therefore, the method of taking the school proposed by Ying Gao actually contains a lot of wisdom.
Of course, there was not much time to think. After Ying Gao finished speaking, Lu Jia began his statement.
What Lu Jia said was not exactly the set of things that evolved from the perspective he put forward before. What is the use of both civil and military affairs, the combination of virtue and punishment, what is the use of initiative to seek inaction, what is the response of heaven and man, and the rule of man, all of which were said from Lu Jia's mouth.
Sure enough, as Lu Jia said, the emotions of the twenty people below changed a little. This was a hodgepodge of Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, and even Mohism and Yin-Yang.
If this weren't in Xianyang Palace, many people here would have jumped out and started scolding Lu Jia. You are such a naked plagiarism! If you are a great Confucian scholar, just talk about your Confucian things, and no one cares about you, but what if you just talk about things from other schools of ours?
But where is this? This is in Xianyang Palace. The emperor facing the Qin Dynasty said that he could kill anyone who he could kill someone in a minute. And under what circumstances did Lu Jia start to say this? Didn’t he just start to say it under the emperor’s order?
So even if everyone was a little angry, they didn't dare to show any big signs.
And their expressions naturally fell into Ying Gao's eyes. These intellectuals of this era really did not hide their emotions, so most of them wrote their anger on their faces.
Ying Gao naturally wouldn't pay attention to such people. It can also be said that they have been temporarily excluded from Ying Gao's heart. You are so angry with Lu Jia, how can you work together in the future?
The remaining few people caught Ying Gao's attention, and there was no obvious emotion on their faces. Among them, Chen Ping, and the other one who made Ying Gao look a lot was a person sitting in the first row, not far from him...
It didn't take long for Lu Jia to finish the new policy. In fact, there is nothing in this new policy that allows you to do what you don't allow you to do. This is just a kind of thought. But if you follow this idea, there are too many things to change in the current Qin and Qin laws, so this is a real heart-killing move.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jia finished speaking, one of them stood up and directly expressed that he could not agree with what Lu Jia proposed, because Lu Jia stole things from other schools, which was not what he should have done as a inheritor of Confucianism. Anyway, he just pointed at Lu Jia's nose and cursed a few words.
After this person finished speaking, Ying Gao did not make any statement, but just signaled him to sit down and then signaled that others could continue to express their opinions.
Ying Gao's actions made many people a little confused. I thought to myself that this person was talking so intensely. If you don't blow him out and let him sit here, then I must be talking more intensely, it's okay!
So, the next thing became lively. Five or six people stood up one after another, all of whom were criticizing Lu Jia and the new policy, and almost one was more ruthless. One of them even stood up and said that Lu Jia was not a Confucian inheritance at all, but had long known where to forget Confucian things. It was just a sensationalist place. He told Ying Gao that if you want to use Confucianism, Ying Gao completely cut off his ties with other schools.
As for these people, Ying Gao still asked them to continue sitting and did not express any comments.
Soon, half of the time had passed, and at this time, Chen Ping still had not spoken. In the eyes of everyone, Ying Gao also felt a little drowsy. Obviously, his previous speeches were all the same, and they were criticized.
Chen Ping, who was sitting in the middle, knew that if he was like those before, he might have really been scolding him at that time. After all, he was in front of the emperor, but this opportunity must have nothing to do with him.
Chen Ping is a scheming person. He knew that since such a view was expressed in the court of Daqin, it means that the emperor supported it, and the emperor's support is the weather vane for the future of Daqin. Regardless of whether they agree or not, it is very likely that the future path of Daqin will continue in this way.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping recalled the things Lu Jia said before. He found that if you really look at the position of the Emperor of Qin, and ignore the competition between those schools, many of them really make sense, and once implemented, they will have considerable results.
So, Chen Ping slightly sorted out his thoughts and wanted to express it in front of Ying Gao. He believed that he suddenly put forward a new point of view at this time. Although he might be scolded in the future, it would definitely give the sleepy emperor a good feeling.
However, when Chen Ping had just made up his mind to stand up, suddenly, he found a figure in front of him who stood up first, obviously trying to speak. This made Chen Ping very regretful. While regretting that he was slowing down, he could only secretly pray that this person was also the kind of person who scolded Lu Jia.
The person who stood up at this time was a man sitting in the first row. He was wearing a blue robe, not very old, and his face was clearly angular, and he looked a little more mysterious than the angry people who spoke before.
After standing up, just like everyone else, he gave Ying Gao a deep salute and then spoke.
This person is also a Confucian heritage. Chen Ping, who was sitting behind, sighed a little relieved, because although this person seemed to be pretending to be deep, his voice was still the same as before, and he was ridiculed by Lu Jia's group. Chen Ping secretly decided that as soon as the man finished speaking, he stood up and started his speech. With his talent, he should definitely get the attention of the emperor.
However, the person sitting in the front row's words were a little more intense than everyone before, and he even directly said that Lu Jia was the scum and the black sheep among the inheritors of Lu Jia.
His words did not cause any changes in Lu Jia and Ying Gao's expressions, but they made many of the other nineteen people look at him with admiration. After all, there are not many people who can have such courage in the face of the Emperor of Qin.
Suddenly, what Chen Ping and others did not expect was that when they were excited, the man stood up from the bench and walked forward a few steps so that he could get closer to Lu Jia, obviously to curse Lu Jia more easily.
His behavior finally attracted Ying Gao's attention. Ying Gao sat upright, then pointed his hand at the man and said, "You can just go here, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the new policy."
Obviously, this person's behavior aroused Ying Gao's dissatisfaction.
When Ying Gao made a move, the words in the man's mouth naturally stopped. At the same time, he was short at Ying Gao, who was already ten minutes away from him, as if he was giving a blessing, but there was no expression in his mouth.
“Why don’t you speak anymore?”
When the man lowered his head, a trace of light flashed in Ying Gao's eyes, and then he made a gesture backward. The Zhu family behind him waved his hand, and several guards suddenly blocked Ying Gao's face, and Ying Gao's voice came from the body of the guard.
The man looked up and saw that he suddenly changed his appearance in front of him. He was stunned at first, and then a hint of cruelty suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He did not answer Ying Gao's question, but opened his mouth slightly and exerted force in the direction where Ying Gao was. He could only hear two very subtle "swish, swish" sounds. For some reason, the two guards blocking Ying Gao's body fell down.
At this moment, the court was in an uproar. What is this? Isn’t this an assassin? Especially Meng Yi and Feng Quji, their faces changed color at the time of seeing it. Isn’t this a repeat of the scene where Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin? That’s great.
While Meng Yi and the Zhu family were commanding the guards to come forward to capture them, he quickly sent people to transfer more guards outside the gate into the place. The emperor was here, but he was in sloppy.
After the assassin shot two guards with a hidden weapon in his mouth, Mou Zuoye wanted to continue firing, but when he saw that the guard had fallen, the back was empty. Ying Gao, who had been standing there before, didn't know where he went.
"The foolish lord! Today is your death date!"
Obviously, at this point, the person's identity has nothing to hide, he is just a complete assassin.
Speaking of this, the wide sleeves flew out, and the basic steel needle flew out, and the guards rushing up fell down two more. Obviously, he didn't know what method he used to bring the steel needle into the court of Xianyang Palace.
Just now, that was really a very good opportunity for him. At that distance, he was completely confident that he would directly shoot Ying Gao with the steel needle in his mouth. You know, his steel needle was highly poisonous, but for some reason, Ying Gao actually responded in advance and let the guards block in front of him. This was indeed something he did not expect.
Taking advantage of the time when the two guards fell to the ground, he wanted to run a few steps away from the side to see where Ying Gao was hiding, but unfortunately, the Emperor of Qin who was still sitting there just now was blocked and disappeared.
Angry, he almost tried all his strength in the siege of the imperial guards, but because he had no weapons in his hand and only took a few breaths, he was taken down by the Zhu family, who was leading the way, with several imperial guards.
"Don't hurt this guy's life and put him in jail. I have my own uses!"
Just when the person was completely controlled, Ying Gao's voice suddenly came again. The man looked in that direction with his very angry eyes. He saw that behind the table in front of Ying Gao, a person was slowly getting up. Isn't it Ying Gao, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty?
"This guy actually got under the table!?"
When he saw this situation, the assassin was really shocked and angry. He never expected that the emperor, who was probably above the top, would crawl under the table in a hurry. The assassin, who had been hard-working, ended up with such an ending. Under Ying Gao's gaze, the assassin had a bloody mouth and sprayed it on the court of Daqin.
"Don't let this guy die on the way. You must see the position!" When the assassin was dragged away, Ying Gao still whispered.
Chapter completed!
