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

The emperor's procession was winding, like a long dragon, coming from outside Xianyang.

The crowd was solemn.

Wherever the noble and magnificent carriage passed, everyone bowed their heads.

It was extremely solemn.

When it passed by, the crowd whispered, and gradually, it became noisy and enthusiastic.

"A real man should be like this!" Although it was whispered, it still did not hide its heroic spirit.

Jiang Chen heard this sentence keenly, and looked in the direction of the sound. In the crowd, no one had spoken.

Gongzi Gao lay on the eaves of the inn, watching the carriage go away, and then half of his head popped out to look into the distance, and said excitedly, "What do you think? Eighteenth brother? We will see the emperor before the eldest brother!"

First?

Jiang Chen left the palace this time just to avoid today's red tape.

Facing Ying Zheng, who has begun to indulge in ghosts and gods, life and death, Jiang Chen feels that with his background, he is afraid that...

It is not appropriate to meet.

He glanced at Ying Gao, "You just shrank your head, what did you see?"

Gongzi Gao: "..." A heart-wrenching blow.

But, if his father finds out, will he be hated?

As a prince, he wants to see his father, but he can't follow his brother Fusu, and can only sneak out of the palace. I don't know whether to say it is fortunate or unfortunate?

However, at least, they can still meet.

If there has never been a father, how can we talk about meeting?

After saying this, Jiang Chen suddenly fell silent. Recently, I seem to often think of things many, many years ago. I wonder if it can be regarded as a premonition?

People always think that time can dilute everything, but looking back, everything is so clear that I can't deceive myself and say that I have forgotten it.

Forgot?

Forgot?

Ha.

...

No matter how devastated the land of the six countries is, the royal city of the world's overlord is still prosperous.

All his people worshipped this great emperor.

Their Qin Shi Huang.

Fusu led the civil and military officials to greet him.

"Long live His Majesty!"

Everyone knelt down and bowed.

In front of the huge Xianyang Palace, the bluestone road in the square was crowded with people.

Qin Shanghei.

Ying Zheng got off the carriage, the imperial crown and pearl curtain fell, and his true expression could not be seen clearly. No, perhaps it should be said that it made no difference whether to see or not. The deep-minded emperor rarely showed his sorrow or joy.

He looked at Fusu deeply, the meaning of which was complicated and difficult to understand, and then said to everyone, "Stand up."

...

When the winding car line really finished the team, it was almost dusk.

Ying Gao was still excited, praising his father from beginning to end, from his conquest of the six kingdoms to the construction of the Great Wall and palaces, and told Jiang Chen everything in detail. Jiang Chen occasionally responded, "Yes." This made Gao think that Hu Hai also worshipped his father like him.

Indeed, Jiang Chen praised such a person. Throughout the ages, there are not many people like Ying Zheng. He became king at the age of thirteen, took power at the age of twenty, won the battle with Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, and then unified the world, with the same track and writing, and had a long-term vision. Any emperor who left a name in history in the future would probably not be able to do better.

Is it the times that made Ying Zheng like this, or is it Ying Zheng who made this era?

Perhaps people who have experienced Jiang Chen's era in the past have more say.

When Jiang Chen was still young, like these young men, he was showing his talents, and it cannot be said that if he were in the same situation, he would do better than Ying Zheng.

Because of this, Jiang Chen understood Ying Zheng in a way.

What is shown will always be only the tip of the iceberg. The real human heart is far more complicated than it is now.

This is especially true for Ying Zheng.

Ten points of intention, only three points are revealed.

From a heart point of view, it was inevitable that he could wipe out the six kingdoms.

Jiang Lu hurriedly ran from Changyang Street, a little anxious, looking around, but he couldn't rush around and shout. When he saw the two people sitting on the roof, he shouted, "Hu Hai! Gao!"

Gong Zi Gao came back to his senses from the excitement of seeing his father, jumped up on the eaves and waved his hands, "Sixth brother, here!"

Jiang Lu: "..."

Gao rolled up his sleeves, leaned over, and jumped down from the eaves.

Jiang Chen: "..."

Jiang Lu: "..." He hurriedly took two steps forward, jumped up and caught Ying Gao, grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth, "Gao!"

Gao stood up, didn't care at all, waved to Jiang Chen, and smiled, "Don't worry! Eighteenth brother, you jump too! Look! Sixth brother will definitely catch us! Hehe!"

Jiang Lu: "..."

Jiang Chen tiptoed, jumped down with the eaves, and landed steadily. He re-arranged his sleeves.

Jiang Lu was also shocked. Later, he remembered that Hu Hai was not nine years old, but twelve years old, which meant that he had been practicing martial arts for five years.

The Qin people valued martial arts, and that was not just talk. The training of the princes was much more rigorous than that of the common people.

Gao clenched his fists and said innocently, "Eighteenth brother, you are so awesome! I want to be like you in the future!"

Jiang Lu sighed slightly. Gao, ranked twenty. Nineteenth is a younger sister, he is the prince after Hu Hai. But the emperor only favored elder brother Fusu and Hu Hai... Gao, he... after he was born...

Hu Hai was called the young master, and it can be seen that the princes after him...

Jiang Chen nodded.

Gao: "Eighteenth brother, how can the emperor like me?"

Jiang Lu frowned slightly and said, "High!" After Hu Hai woke up, his unruliness and high self-esteem finally changed. After getting along with him for a while, you can tell that his temper has improved. His smile is finally not only towards his eldest brother and father, but also towards others, and he has some patience.

However, the emperor's father likes Hu Hai, and that is his father's business. It is really rude for Gao to ask Hu Hai like this!

Ying Gao stayed close to him. Jiang Chen reached out and stroked his hair. The smile on his face was really gentle, "There is no eternal love. But if you are too stupid, who will like it?"

However, it is not only stupidity that is disgusting in the world, but also self-righteous intelligence.

Gao looked away, lowering his head in thought.

Hu Hai said such a sentence with a gentle face, as if it was just an unintentional remark, but Jiang Lu vaguely felt that there was some unexplainable malice. However, what Shiba said is indeed a fact, a very reasonable and irrefutable sentence.

Jiang Lu was silent for a moment and then added, "Gao, we are all the sons of our father. Blood is thicker than water. How could our father not like you?"

Young Master Gao Wenyan looked at him, then secretly glanced at Jiang Chen, "Yes. Sixth Brother, Gao understands."

Be smart.

Young Master Gao touched his head.

Are you as smart as Brother 18?

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng sat quietly, while Fu Su stood before His Highness, unable to speak.

Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Meng Yi are also here. Most of the emperor's power is already in this palace.

"That's what happened."

"Gongshu. That Gongshu from the battle between Chu and Song 300 years ago?"

"Yes. He is a descendant of Gongshu Ban. However, Gongshu's direct lineage has been living in seclusion for many years, and Gongshufu is a collateral descendant."

"Hmph!" The person on the throne snorted lightly.

Meng Yi said, "Today's events in Xianyang have led to such a false prediction... It can be seen that the old nobles of the six countries still have disobedient intentions. Your Majesty made a book that day to summon the nobles and nobles of the six kings to live in Xianyang, but some people obeyed and disobeyed. , fled away with his family. A few days ago, the people of Pengpei County complained that the old nobles were occupying land to disturb the people and avoid paying the land tax. "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. "

Ying Zheng said coldly, "I am still too polite to them. The imperial rat eats my rice and corn, threatens our country, and has no repentance... Huh."

Zhao Gaodao said, "I believe that the Grand Tutor Kong Yu should be arrested immediately, dismissed from the post of Grand Tutor, the doctoral program should be disbanded, the remnants of the six countries in the world should be hunted down, and the anti-Qin forces should be wiped out!"

When Fusu heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "No, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng said nothing.

"My son, I am lying. Qin has unified the world for five years. Now, even if the six countries want to restore the country, they are unable to do so. There are no six countries in this world, only our great Qin. The whole world is the land of Qin, and the people of Qin. My son, I He believes that we should treat the people of Qin equally and not treat them the same way as before. The people are tired after many years of war. At this time, we should give priority to care and mercy. For a hundred years, Confucianism has been known as the house of etiquette and justice. To educate the people and make them return to Qin, this matter cannot be separated from what Zhongche Ling said, but Fusu cannot agree with it."

Zhao Gao's face turned grim and he said, "The laws of the Qin Dynasty have long made it clear that those who dare to cause chaos will be punished with five punishments. Facing the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, we must not show mercy. The eldest son's words are too pedantic!"

Meng Yi: "Having become a citizen of Qin, how can Zhongche Ling still divide Qin and the six kingdoms?"

Zhao Gaodao said, "Qin only recognizes the people of Qin, and the dandy and the little devil are not worthy of being the people of Qin!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand to stop the argument between the two.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Li Si had been observing Ying Zheng for a long time before he spoke, "Your Majesty, I believe that today, under the unification of China, there are still some people who are trying to restore the princes and reestablish the old country, which undermines the ambition of Qin. This is all due to the country's confused thinking, which has led to some In the name of academics, unscrupulous people talk about government affairs. I have heard that one piece of chopsticks makes things easy, but ten pieces of chopsticks make things difficult. If the king and the people are united, how can the Qin Dynasty become a powerful empire?

"Your Majesty now adheres to the rule of law, but there are often objections from others. The scholars are unable to understand the subtleties of the law and cannot comply with the constraints of the law. It is precisely because of the mixed thoughts in the Spring and Autumn Period that they each regard their own theories as their own and despise the laws of the Qin Dynasty. I think that today It is urgent that all books written by the people except medicine and agriculture should be collected, so that all the thoughts of the people can be brought under the guidance of our great Qin. Your Majesty, I sincerely advise you, and I hope your Majesty will accept it."

Li Siping doesn't speak often, but when he does speak, he must be thoughtful, well-founded, to the point, and in line with Ying Zheng's wishes. Before others could speak, Ying Zheng had already made up his mind, "Yes!"

Fusu took a step forward and wanted to say more. Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "That's it for today. Let's go down."

"Father!"

However, Ying Zheng had already left the throne and entered the harem.

Fusu raised his feet and was about to chase after him when Meng Yi pulled his sleeve and stopped him, "eldest son!"

"Sir!"

Meng Yi said, "Don't you understand His Majesty's intention?"

Fusu said, "It is precisely because I understand that I have to stop it."

Confiscating folk books other than medicine and divination, what happens after they are collected? He destroyed hundreds of families in this way, my father!

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Eldest Young Master, you must do everything according to your ability. If you offend Your Majesty... Hehe... Now that Your Majesty has made up his mind, Eldest Young Master, you should save your energy."

Fusu couldn't suppress his anger, "You!"

Zhao Gao ignored it, looked at Li Si, and said meaningfully, "Prime Minister Li, I admire you... When it comes to the way of a monarch and his ministers, Zhao Gao feels inferior."

The voice was not loud enough for Fusu to hear.

Knowing that he intended to draw Fusu's anger, Li Si frowned secretly. "What are you saying, Zhongcheling? Your Majesty is wise and is willing to use the collection of books of hundreds of schools to replace the mistakes of the people. Isn't this the best outcome?"

Fusu frowned slightly, tacitly agreed that what he said was a compromise, and ignored Zhao Gao. He silently arched his hands to Li Si to show basic respect, "Shangqing, let's go."

Wait for the two to go out.

In the empty hall.

Zhao Gao smiled softly, approached Li Si, and said with a bit of gloating, "It seems that our eldest son is a little dissatisfied with Prime Minister Li."

Li Si glanced at him calmly, also smiling, "Really? Li Si didn't see that." He said in an admiring tone, "Zhongcheling has a sharp eye and can see other people's emotions so accurately. I wonder if he saw the sad look on his face when facing the eldest son?"

"..."

Zhao Gao stopped smiling, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

Li Si smiled deeply again, turned around and walked out of the palace.
