I Just Became a Confucian Sage, and You’re Burning Books and Burying Scholars, Ying Zheng?

After transmigrating to the Great Qin dynasty and becoming the Confucian sage, Lu Xun thinks he won't have to worry about money or women in this life. But then the Confucians tell him to seek out Qin Shi Huang and persuade him to govern according to Confucian principles.

The Confucian elders also turn into a bunch of self-proclaimed experts, offering all kinds of advice on how Qin Shi Huang should run things.

Only then does Lu Xun realize that this is the year Qin Shi Huang burns books and buries scholars alive. Panic sets in.

Ying Zheng: "Brother Lu, I'm the mighty emperor of Great Qin, and you're asking me to go around staging accidents for compensation?"

"I'm an emperor, and you expect me to spend all day scamming and swindling people with you? Don't I have any dignity?"

"Brother Lu, do you know there's a Confucian sage among the Confucians? They've been getting pretty arrogant lately. Once I catch him, he'll be the first one I deal with."

Lu Xun: "Ying Zheng, you sneaky bastard! I just became the Confucian sage, and now you're burning books and burying scholars alive?"

"I treated you like a brother, and you want to bury me alive!"
