Chapter 821

Sanghai City was a small coastal city located in Donghai Commandery.

This city was very small, and the population was not large, but it was exceptionally prosperous. Like many small coastal cities, it developed relying on the fishing and salt industry. Of course, what truly made Sanghai City so prosperous was not just the fishing and salt industry, but because the holy land of the Confucian School, the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor, was located here.

The Little Sage and Virtuous Manor had an extremely special status in the Confucian School and was the Confucian Sect of the world.

The head of the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor was also the Sect Master of the entire Confucian School, wielding the famous sword Tai'e, which ranked third on the sword list.

At this moment, there were a few special guests in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor.

So special that the Second Master Yan Lu and Xun Zi, who was living in seclusion here, had to come out to entertain them personally.

After the Qin Guo destroyed the State of Chu in the past, it had sent Han Fei and Su Xuan and others to take a trip to the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor. After that trip, the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor decisively grasped the opportunity given by the Qin Guo and chose to take a side.

It was also because they took a side in advance that after the Qin Guo destroyed the State of Qi, the Confucian School located in the land of Qi and Lu was not liquidated; on the contrary, it was highly valued by the Qin Guo. This was not strange; after all, the literacy rate in this era was extremely low, and the Confucian School was a genuine intellectual.

Many people from the Confucian School became officials of the Qin Guo. As the Sect Master of the Confucian School, Fu Nian obviously could not continue to stay in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor to govern and learn under such circumstances. And so, in order to express his attitude, he went to Xianyang.

Although he was only a Doctor of Classics and had no real power, this undoubtedly indicated the attitude of the Confucian School.

Even though there were many officials from the Confucian School who opposed this matter when Su Xuan became the State Preceptor, and subsequently suffered liquidation by Seeing Ying Zheng, this did not affect the fact that the Confucian School had a not-so-small force in the court of the Qin Guo.

It was precisely because they had a not-so-small force that they wanted to strive for more right to speak.

But obviously, as long as Seeing Ying Zheng was still there, the Confucian School could only always be a tamed loyal dog!
