Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

The governor of Hangzhou has performed very well in the past year. He is very dedicated in solving cases and enforces the law strictly. So much so that people in Hangzhou do not close their doors at night and do not pick up lost items on the road and bring them to the court.

The two Wang and Xie families unanimously said nothing about this.

The people in Hangzhou all know that the young master of the prefect's family is very smart and cute. In view of the great achievements of the prefect, the people of Hangzhou expressed unanimous love for him. In addition, the son of the prefect's family had a scholar... he was probably a scholar, and he gave birth to a very talented person. Whenever Wan Lian steps out of Ma Mansion for business, men, women and children of all ages will gather around to watch him intentionally or unintentionally. The grand occasion is comparable to that of Pan Yue's trip in the past.

Anyone who has been taught by him will always praise this short-term disciple. The kid who lost the archery competition seems to have been forgotten. No one said anything bad about him, and a year ago he talked about the eunuch's continued marriage, but it never happened.

As soon as Jiang Chen stopped there, Governor Ma's mind that had been shaken by others immediately calmed down, which was very effective.

He once said to Taishou Ma once before, "I shouldn't talk too much about my father's family. But my father lives alone now, and there must be few people to take care of him. If anyone likes him, he might as well bring someone in. I don't have any objections." Naturally, he didn't need to go through Jiang Chen if he wanted to take a concubine, but if he wanted to take a stepmother, he did need Jiang Chen's nod.

He told Ma Junyi that he thought he was a considerate and considerate child, and that every word he said came from the bottom of his heart, and nothing could be more sincere. The next day, Governor Ma organized the Ma Mansion and ordered anyone who talked nonsense in front of the young master to be kicked out of the house. Jiang Chen was confused for a while. Over the years, he has said countless words with ulterior motives. It is rare for him to be "sincere", but it makes the other party think too much. I really don’t know whether his years of hypocrisy and subterfuge have made his sincerity untrustworthy, or whether his credibility has finally become low in such trivial matters.

Spring of next year, March. There are willows and water flowing in the pavilion.

Jiang Chen took the horse that the eunuch sent to him, which was also young, and went to Nishan Academy as he wished.

Obviously, the two principals of Butterfly Lovers have not yet reached school age.

It was rare that he didn't face the bright spots in the real world, but Jiang Chen didn't realize at all that his life could really be so peaceful. In fact, things in today's world are in ups and downs, no less than during the Shang, Zhou, Song and Jin Dynasties. Yan and Jin were facing each other secretly and secretly, and the war was about to break out. Refugees from the north were moving south one after another. Hangzhou was not too far from Jiankang. Once the war broke out, Ma Mansion would not be able to stay out of it.

Wan Lian replaced Ma Shou's son and followed Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen asked him before if he was willing to study seriously with him. Wan Lian firmly refused, "Sir, the sword spirit prefers sword tactics." Besides, he has lived for so long and has never seen any scriptures about poetry, etiquette, justice and music, so why should he still learn these strange things in the human race's school.

There is no one among the Nishan students in this class who has an unexpected personality.

The only special thing is that Xie's girl came to study.

Thanks Daoyun.

Jiang Chen came here to study separately and was much younger than his companions. This class of Nishan Academy students have known each other for a year, and when Jiang Chen came in, everyone was a little resistant.

Jiang Chen didn't care about this, and his life remained the same.

However, he is not the first person in this session to be implicitly isolated. There was another student in front, named Xie Daoyun.

In one sentence, a woman whose name is recorded in the annals of history is as small as a catkin rising in the wind.

She is the daughter of the Xie family, and her uncle is a prime minister. She wants to come here to study. Her family is prominent. Although the students were dissatisfied, they did not dare to resort to any means. Although there is isolation, there is also fawning.

The calculation is quite obvious.

Most of those who enter the academy are interested in becoming an official. If they can win the favor of the prime minister's niece, their career will be bright.

Because of his childish appearance and short height, Jiang Chen was considered extremely honored to sit in the front row in the eyes of many people. The talented woman is sitting at another single table next to her.

He greeted everyone politely and sat down.

The master said something, he heard it casually, but he didn't pay attention to it.

He came here just because of the wishes of the master of Ma Mansion. He said he was thirsty for knowledge, but that was not true.

So, after several rounds of questions, Jiang Chen's unwavering attitude and the fact that he never raised his hand finally made the master unable to stand it any longer. He recited a paragraph casually, "Zhou is punished by being burned with cannons. Prince Bigan said: " Being violent but not remonstrating is not loyal; being afraid of death and not speaking out is not brave. If you see it, you will admonish it; if you don’t use it, you will die. This is the ultimate loyalty. Then he admonished him that if he did not go to court for three days, Zhou would imprison him and kill him. Then, "Ma Wencai, what does this sentence mean?" "

Zhou?

He seems to have some impression of this matter?

However, he himself was not as curious as Di Xin about what the so-called exquisite seven orifices looked like.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes slightly and covered up his thoughts. The fragments about this matter in his memory gradually became clearer. He recalled that Bigan's words were extremely upright and he said that the king was cruel, tyrannical and infatuated with the monster Shang Tang, who would be defeated at the hands of Emperor Xin. He stood up, broke away from his old memories, looked at the textbook in front of him, and knew that he was indeed no longer called Zhou. He replied with a calm expression and clear semantics, "Di Xin ordered the punishment of cannon burning." Shang Chen Bigan said , The king is cruel and his ministers do not speak out to remonstrate, which is not considered a loyal minister. I must see him to remonstrate, even if it is useless to die, I will be considered loyal. So I went to remonstrate with Emperor Xin and imprisoned him for three days. "

"Yes. Not bad." The gentleman stroked his beard, "In your opinion, what is loyalty?"

This made Jiang Chen pause. After all, he is better at answering what constitutes adultery.

Relating to this master's temperament of loving to point out the country and considering himself to be caring about his family and country, he faintly said, "Expedition to the north is loyalty, living in seclusion is traitor."

The teacher's expression eased, and he was obviously very pleased with this bold statement. He sighed, "Yes. Yes. If everyone has this awareness, there is no need to worry about not being able to drive out the Tartars and return to the Central Plains. We enter the academy to study, and what we ultimately seek is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."

"It seems that you have listened to the class carefully." The teacher looked down at him and asked, "But just now other students were eager to answer questions, why did you keep thinking and not speak?"

Jiang Chen did not change his expression, and did not take his distraction to heart at all. He replied, "Reply to the teacher. I am a new student, and I think I am still not well-educated. I should listen to the opinions of my classmates first. It is said that if you know, you know, and if you don't know, you don't know. How can you answer easily before you have an accurate answer? When facing a problem, the answer obtained by trial is not the most accurate answer, but the answer that the other party wants to hear. The student believes that the real answer varies from person to person and cannot be determined in one word. "

The teacher was stunned, holding the scroll and smiled, "Then Wencai, tell me, your answer just now is what you think in your heart, and what I want to hear?"

Jiang Chen said, "What I said just now is the solution to general problems. But there are always some extraordinary problems in the world. What you asked is the way to govern the country. This statement comes from the chaos of the seven countries at that time, and the order is chaotic. It is necessary to use unnecessary means to solve the unstable factors. This is not what I think in my heart, nor what you want to hear. This is what the people at that time thought in their hearts. "

The teacher nodded, "Yes. Sit down."

Jiang Chen sat down and turned the book without saying a word.

Everyone looked at him from time to time, whispered to each other, and seemed to be thinking about something.

...

"Okay. This class ends here. School is over."

As soon as the teacher said this, the students in the room immediately rushed out with their books.

Jiang Chen was slow to pack up, and when he was about to carry her on his back, Xie Daoyun suddenly asked, "Do you value the law?"

Jiang Chen looked up at her, "Why do you say that?"

Xie Daoyun said, "Govern by law and settle people's hearts. Han Feizi said that. Ma Wencai, in terms of reason, Confucianism is the way for those in power."

Jiang Chen had no objection, "Yes."

Xie Daoyun: "..."

"If you rule by law, it's too inhumane." The rule of the Legalists is really unreasonable.

Jiang Chen: "Yes."

"You are young, don't learn like this."

Jiang Chen bowed slightly, "Yes. Wencai has learned from you. Thank you... Thank you, senior sister, for your guidance."

He hesitated about his surname for a while, and Xie Daoyun saw it and smiled for a while, "Wencai is outstanding, and he will definitely achieve something in the future."

Xie Yuan at home is eight or nine years old, and he looks like this...

Always with a stern face, obviously young, but pretending to be serious.

Xie Daoyun rarely found it interesting.

When Jiang Chen walked out of the door, someone at the door snorted. Jiang Chen took a look and saw that it was Wang Ziyu, who had always admired Xie Daoyun but was always blocked by Xie Yan. In the end, he didn't care about it, took the book and ignored it.

Wang Ziyu snorted, stared and was about to come over, but was stopped by the person beside him. "Brother Ziyu, don't worry! Don't worry! He's just a child! I guess he doesn't even know a few etiquettes, why should Brother Ziyu care!"

Jiang Chen naturally didn't miss it, but ignored it completely.

Wang Ziyu straightened his clothes and snorted. "Let's go find Miss Xie."

When Jiang Chen returned to the room, Wan Lian was waiting, holding a set of specially made white student clothes in her hand, and sighed, "Sir, what are your plans?"

Jiang Chen took it, "It's too early to ask about this."

Wan Lian held his original body tightly and said, "I have already investigated Jiankang. Sima Yao is in power now, and Wang and Xie are jointly managing the government. But Wang Xizhi died of illness two years ago. Judging from the current situation, the Wang family is slightly weaker than the Xie family. As for Huan Wen's line... it has completely declined."

Although it has declined, Jiang Chen still remembers that Huan Xuan, the son of Huan Wen, eventually overthrew the Jin Dynasty. He put the clothes on the bedside and stared, "Have you investigated the Shangyu Zhu family?"

Wan Lian squatted by the table, holding the edge of the table and shaking a cup of tea, not looking serious, which was totally inconsistent with his gentle name, "It's just a farm, but the capital is unexpectedly strong. The refugees in the north are hungry and in a difficult situation, but no one is greedy." He paused for a while and confirmed, "I think the previous master wanted such people."

Jiang Chen looked at this and touched that The sword spirit, who was curious about everything and not at ease, finally couldn't help but say, "I thought about it, but I couldn't imagine that my brother, a serious person, would condense a sword spirit like you."

Wanlian paused, turned his head and said lazily, "Wanlian's personality is exactly the same as the young master. This is what the previous master said at the time. When Wanlian saw you, young master, he was still wondering if he had made a mistake in your moodiness."

The book in Jiang Chen's hand sank into a pit with a squeak, and his expression was cold.

Wanlian had a strong desire to survive, "There is a saying in the world that when the truth is false, the false is true, and when there is nothing, there is nothing. As long as the young master stands here, there is nothing false for the people around him."

After a long time, he replied, "Yes. Survival and death, there has never been any falsehood."

What he experienced was not false, what he carried was not false, and those who died because of him were indeed not false.

Seeing this, Wan Lian had no choice but to put down the teacup properly, climbed up to the outer room, sat on the roof, and looked at the bright moonlight. Even if the sword spirit had no human heart, he vaguely felt that there were some things he shouldn't have exposed.

Jiang Chen closed the side window, "Go back and rest."

Wan Lian was about to argue, but the sword spirit was not human. Looking back, I realized that although this owner looked like the previous owner, friendly and humble, he was actually quite arbitrary in nature and did not tolerate any other words. I had no choice but to jump up to the other side of the roof in two or three steps and walk a little further.

Jiang Chen hugged the quilt and spread it neatly. When he lay down and closed his eyes, his mind was in chaos again and he couldn't sleep. After a long time, I felt a little sleepy, and the wooden door suddenly creaked softly.

Xie Yan, who was sleeping with him, opened the door, put away his long sword, threw himself on the bed on his side, and asked quietly, "Wencai? Huh? Ma Wencai, are you asleep?"

When his footsteps approached, Jiang Chen already felt it. Asking again at this moment, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, all the sleepiness dissipated, his eyes were shining brightly, it was obvious that he could no longer be awake. "Thank you, brother, what's the matter?"

Xie Yan said, "There is sword energy in this room."

Jiang Chen turned over, wrapped himself in a quilt and moved a little further away from him. He tried his best to suppress his desire to get used to the physical distance between strangers, and responded lightly, "Yes."

Xie Yan: "It can't be said to be a sword."

Jiang Chen covered his forehead, sighed unnoticeably, and finally asked him, "Brother Xie, what is important, but it doesn't hurt to talk."

Xie Yan smiled slightly, seemingly happy that he finally asked directly, "Wencai, do you really think Jin can't be partial?"

"real."

"Wen Cai, how about joining the army?"

"No."

"Why?"

Jiang Chen's face was expressionless, "What is an army?"

"Protect our homeland and serve as an army."

"The army is dedicated to protecting our home and country. Brother Xie, you might as well go to the military camp and take a look. With the current situation, how many people in the army really feel like this?"

Xie Yan was stunned by his question. After a while, he noticed that he had just packed his bags and went to sleep on the floor. He was extremely puzzled, "Brother Literary Talent, why do you sleep so far away?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "Most people who practice martial arts are not used to having other people around. Brother Xie, don't get too close, lest I behave rudely when I'm nervous."
