Chapter 6: Use the pen as a sword to change the situation in this chaotic world!!!
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. The eunuchs and servants all kept their heads down, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
They felt an invisible sense of oppression, which was the imperial aura coming from the First Emperor.
This aura is as unstoppable as a tiger descending from a mountain, which makes people feel awe.
The First Emperor closed his eyes slightly, with a plan in mind.
He wants to kill all these clans and corrupt scholars to serve as a warning to others!
He wants to let everyone in the world know the consequences of obstructing reform and being an enemy of the Qin Dynasty!
His fingers tapped lightly on the mysterious patterns on the imperial desk, and each tap seemed to strike on everyone's heart!
At this moment, the First Emperor was like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and cold!
His majesty and spirit reached their peak, as if he had transformed into a giant dragon soaring in the sky, overlooking everything in the world.
No matter who it is, no one can ignore the powerful and majestic aura emanating from him.
This is the ruler of the Qin Empire, the protector of all people in the world! Zulong!!
……
As night falls, the sky seems to be dyed with thick ink, and fine rain falls like silk, falling to the earth.
Ye Chi walked alone among them, his green dress dancing in the wind, his sleeves fluttering, like an immortal isolated from the world.
His steps are steady and powerful, as if every step is on solid ground. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, he can move forward firmly.
Raindrops slid down his hair and wet his clothes, but he was completely unaware.
His eyes were firm and deep, as if they could penetrate the dark night!
His back looked even lonelier and more resilient in the rain, like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable!
The surrounding scenery slowly passed by his eyes, like a series of ink paintings.
The drizzle was like silk, gently brushing his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness, but also making him more sober and determined!
His heart is full of expectations for the future and persistent pursuit of his ideals. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he will move forward bravely and unswervingly.
Those doctors in Fengchang Temple all claimed to be well-educated and knowledgeable.
However, we turn a blind eye to the wind and rain outside the window and the sufferings of the world!
He only knows how to quibble over words and talk about military affairs on paper.
The sour Confucian spirit of them is heavier than Mount Tai, making people cover their noses and pass by, despising them like worn-out shoes!
These corrupt scholars and doctors are extremely pedantic. They only know how to indulge in piles of old papers, picking out sentences to show off their erudition.
However, they are indifferent to the real sufferings of the people of the world and do not care about them!!
Eating one's own children!
They treat it like a child's play!!
I thought it was just what was said in the book!
Little do people know that this is a tragedy in the world, which is truly heartbreaking.
Ye Chi was different from others. He had great righteousness in his heart and knew that what was written in the book was true. They were all accusations of the blood and tears of the people of the world.
At this moment, rain was pouring down on the long street of Xianyang City!
Ye Chi walked further and further away, his figure looming in the rain. It seemed as if God was moved by his experience and tears were pouring down continuously.
The strong wind and heavy rain were raging around Ye Chi. His clothes had already been soaked, sticking to his skin, outlining his thin figure!
He raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes were empty and deep, as if he was trying to peek into the secrets of heaven through the thick dark clouds!
Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, the sound shaking the whole area, penetrating the rain curtain, and echoing in the empty streets. The laughter was full of desolation and despair, and everyone who heard it was moved and felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife!
Even though the weather is stormy and dark, it cannot hide Ye Chi's sad song. He seems to have become the protagonist in this storm, alone, performing the joys and sorrows!
He witnessed the suffering in the world and was deeply indignant at the pedantry and cold-blooded selfishness of those doctors.
Although they are scholars, they have lost their original intention as human beings. Ye Chi is determined to change the situation in the world with his own strength and give the people a bright and clear world! !
Therefore, Ye Chi walked alone in the wind and rain. Although he was looked down upon and ridiculed by the doctors, he remained determined and moved forward firmly.
He wants to prove through his actions that there is still justice in the world, which is beyond the understanding of those pedantic people!
In the eyes of those doctors, benevolent government is just empty talk and they disdain it.
However, Ye Chi has the world in his heart, and he vows to use his pen as a sword to change the situation in this chaotic world!!!
The vicious plan in his mind has already taken shape, and when the time is right, he can change the world in one fell swoop!
Ye Chi knew that the world had just been settled and peace was only an appearance. Undercurrents were surging and crises were lurking everywhere.
He understood that the world could not be ruled without benevolence, and the filth in the court could not be cleansed without iron-blooded means.
He is willing to be the boat that breaks the wind and goes upstream, just to bring peace and order to the world!
The rain gradually became heavier, like a river pouring down from the sky, as if to cleanse all the filth in the world.
Ye Chi stood alone in the rain, his figure like a pine tree, tall and resolute. No matter how strong the wind and rain were, he remained unmoved!
His eyes are as bright as torches, revealing his unwavering faith and determination.
His road is long and full of dangers, but the justice and ideals in his heart are as firm as a rock and will never be shaken by any difficulties or hardships.
It was the rain that not only washed the vast earth, but also purified Ye Chi's soul, making his faith even firmer, like steel that has been tempered a hundred times, and unstoppable.
Looking at his figure in the rain, it is like an ink painting, with thick ink and heavy colors, showing the heroic qualities!
Although the wind and rain are fierce, they cannot conceal his lofty ambitions, and his ambitions and passions are beyond words.
Ye Chi, you are truly a real man!!
……
Half an incense stick later, Ye Chi slowly walked into the courtyard of his own mansion.
This was originally a residence set up by Fengchang Temple for doctors. Although it is not a grand house, it is also unique and elegant, with a sense of seclusion in the mountains. The courtyard wall is built with bluestone, and the years have left mottled marks on its surface, as if telling the vicissitudes of history.
There are several tall and straight bamboos in the corner, and the bamboo leaves sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound. It can be said that the bamboo shadows are as thin as poetry, and the plum blossoms are as fragrant as dreams.
Pushing open the half-open wooden door, a small patio comes into view.
In the center of the patio, a pool of clear water flows quietly. A few artificial rocks are stacked up to form a mountain by the pool. A few calamus plants are dotted among the rocks, adding to the lush greenery.
A carp swam in the water, occasionally jumping out of the water, splashing ripples.
These were all arranged by Ye Chi himself according to his memory, and they were more to his liking.
Although the courtyard is small, it has an ingenious layout and a new scene at every step.
There are several quaint palace lanterns hanging under the corridor, the light is dim and soft, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet courtyard.
There are several pieces of calligraphy hanging on the wall, which are deeply carved with bold strokes, obviously from the hands of a famous calligrapher.
The furnishings in the house are simple yet elegant. Every desk and chair are made of the finest rosewood with delicate and gorgeous texture.
There were wooden knives, pens and brushes on the desk, and a Mengs brush hanging on the pen holder. The ink on it had dried, and it was obvious that the owner had not written for a long time.
Books are neatly arranged on the bookshelf next to it, and the air is filled with the fragrance of wood.
Ye Chi looked around, secretly admiring the exquisiteness and elegance of this courtyard.
Although it is surrounded by noise, it seems isolated from the troubles of the world, like a paradise.
A sense of belonging surged in his heart, as if this was where his soul rested.
When Ye Chi returned home, raindrops were still hanging on his sleeves, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, a young woman came forward, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with eyebrows like a crescent moon, eyes like autumn water, and a gentle temperament that made people feel pity for her.
This girl was an orphan adopted by Ye Chi during the war. Her parents had been killed in the war, and Ye Chi, out of compassion, kept her by his side.
Seeing Ye Chi coming back in the rain, the girl's eyes flashed with a trace of distress, and she whispered: "Brother Ye Chi, why did you come back like this?"
After saying this, she hurriedly fetched a clean towel, poured hot water into the copper basin, and carefully wiped the rain off Ye Chi's face and hands.
Its movements are gentle, like a spring breeze on your face.
Afterwards, the girl brought hot tea and soup, and stood by, saying softly, "Brother Ye Chi, please have your meal."
Ye Chi nodded in thanks. While eating, the girl carefully observed his expression, fearing that she might have neglected something.
After the meal, the girl gently reminded him, "Brother Ye Chi, your clothes are wet. You might catch a cold. Why don't you change them and let me dry them for you."
When Ye Chi heard this, he felt warm in his heart and handed the wet clothes to the girl.
The girl took the clothes, washed them carefully in the clear spring, and rubbed them gently with her hands, as if she were protecting a treasure.
Ye Chi looked at the girl's busy back and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He was well aware of the girl's deep affection for him. Although she had never said it explicitly, the tacit understanding and emotions between them had already surpassed what words could express.
He whispered, "There will be guests coming later, go and get ready."
The girl nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "I understand, Brother Ye Chi."
When she turned around, a hint of affection and shyness flashed in her eyes, like a bud about to bloom, wanting to speak but hesitant.
His figure swayed under the light, like a moving picture slowly unfolding in Ye Chi's heart.
After the girl left, Ye Chi sighed deeply.
He knew human nature well and predicted that Fusu and others would definitely set foot here.
It's not for any other reason, but because I have not been harmed, which shows the other party's interest.
Fusu was a man who not only had the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but also had well-thought-out strategies.
The time he lived in was very different from that of the First Emperor.
The world today is in constant turmoil, and the iron fist of the rule of law is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the survivors of the six kingdoms, otherwise it will inevitably lead to chaos.
Although Fusu studied under Chunyu Yue and immersed himself in Confucianism, he also received instruction from Meng Tian and learned military strategies.
One is a Confucian scholar and the other is a soldier. The two are completely different, but they are integrated into one in him. This shows how profound his character is, which is incomparable to the pedantic Confucian scholars recorded in history books.
This person has both the benevolence of a Confucian and the decisiveness of a military strategist in his heart. Only in this way can he stabilize the country and appease the people in troubled times.
His policy for governing the country will surely be to combine the rule of law with the rule of virtue, using the rule of law to stabilize people's hearts and using the rule of virtue to influence people's hearts.
Only in this way can we realize the vision of world peace and people living and working in peace and contentment.
Ye Chi knew very well that although Confucianism... advocated putting people first, its actual actions were mostly based on considerations of self-interest.
The books they wrote and the arguments they made were aimed at building a cage to bind the hearts of the people of the world, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the people!
The cleverness of his methods and the beauty of his words make it hard not to be moved.
However, Ye Chi saw through his true intentions and felt deep contempt for such hypocritical behavior!
