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

The order to burn books had been issued, and Kong Yu and other Confucian scholars were stunned. After hesitating for a long time, they decided to go to Ying Zheng to plead for mercy. The result is predictable.

Kong Yu's position as a junior tutor was gone.

…

Jiang Lu was about to tell his younger brother about the court affairs so that he could learn a lesson and never go against his father's decision, but he found that Hu Hai did not show up in the national studies today.

Jiang Lu was eighteen years old, and he had already completed the Spring and Autumn Annals of Xiyuan. Now he came to fulfill his wish, just to communicate with his younger brothers and sisters. He saw Hu Hai here all the time before, and he didn't ask him about the completion of the course. Since he got to know Hu Hai again and overturned the rumors he had heard before, he often came to see this younger brother.

This was the first time I didn't see anyone in Xiyuan in many days.

Why do you like him? Probably because as long as I see him, I feel good. For so long, Jiang Lu had never seen any embarrassment on his face. It seemed that all the embarrassments in the world were not embarrassments for Hu Hai. Just seeing him made people happy and relaxed for no reason.

Even the eldest brother Fusu had never made Jiang Lu feel this way. But this younger brother...

When he arrived at Xitaihua Palace, he saw three people standing under the huge flower tree from a distance.

The young man was wearing a simple black and red Hu costume, holding a sword, listening to the elder's teachings seriously, and practicing sword moves again.

The scarlet flowers and the snow-colored sword light intertwined, and the falling cherry blossoms flew, splitting in two in the sword light.

The sword was like a swimming dragon, thrilling and moving.

"Good." The middle-aged man in armor standing under the tree nodded, his eyes faintly showing some appreciation.

Jiang Chen put away his sword and replied lightly, "Fortunately, General Zhang gave me some advice." Lu Yong hurried over, took the long sword, and handed him a silk handkerchief.

He lowered his eyes and took it, wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Han smiled, "I dare not. The young master is very talented, and I dare not give you guidance."

Among the foreign ministers, it is said that the young master Hu Hai is unruly, arrogant and playful, not as steady and generous as the eldest son. When His Majesty asked him to be the martial arts teacher of the young master, Zhang Han was still very worried. I am afraid that he is really as the rumor says, but think about it carefully, how can a child who is so loved by His Majesty be really willful and stupid? The only thing... After really meeting Hu Hai, the only pity in Zhang Han's heart is that Fusu had already existed before Hu Hai.

Fusu's talent had spread throughout Daqin six years ago. Hu Hai... can only lament that he was born ten years later.

Jianglu stood there for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. There is obviously a reason why his father likes Hu Hai. He was extremely smart. He usually studied law, literature, martial arts, and was serious and never perfunctory. This alone was better than many of his brothers.

His father was also a diligent and pragmatic person. He was unwilling to lag behind others, so he naturally could not bear to see others being lazy and idle, and talking nonsense.

Among the princes, there were many who were dissatisfied with his father's preference for Fusu and Huhai. But... since they wanted to be favored by their father, why didn't they work hard to improve themselves?

He was not as good as Fusu in literature, not as good as Huhai in martial arts, and had no skills. How could he please his father?

Jianglu suddenly smiled. In fact, he was also one of the mediocre people.

He seldom thought about the high and low talents. Many things fell into his eyes, and the right and wrong were clearly placed, but Jianglu didn't want to say it out. He never wanted to reveal the undercurrent, because for Jianglu, as long as he maintained the calm on the surface, and maintained it forever, then everything could be calm forever.

He likes peace.

If he tells his father about this, he will probably be rebuked for being careless. Or, for example, he will be compared to Qi, who deceived himself and brought about his own destruction.

However, Qi, at least when the five countries were trampled by the Qin cavalry, Qi was still peaceful for ten years, and the people of Qi had never encountered too many wars and suffered separation from their wives and children.

"Sixth brother." The calm tone broke his thoughts.

Jiang Lu came back to his senses and saw the black-clothed boy walking in front of him, "Hu Hai." Jiang Lu heard himself say, "In the Gongshu case, my father suspected that there were other people who conspired. Big brother has been ordered to Shangshangfang to investigate, do you want to go and see?"

"Conspiracy?" Jiang Chen asked him.

Lu Yong, who was serving beside him, heard this and couldn't help but move closer, "Young Master, you..."

Jiang Chen waved his hand to stop Lu Yong's nonsense, and smiled to Jiang Lu, "Sixth brother, don't worry. Brother Fusu will solve it."

At this moment, just like the indifference and smile before, Jiang Lu had only one thought.

Hu Hai had expected what his father said and did. Hu Hai knew about the book burning order and Fusu's order to investigate.

How did he know? Could it be that this is the unique tacit understanding between Hu Hai and his father?

Jiang Lu had no way of knowing.

Hu Hai always smiled, unlike his father's severity and life and death, but at this moment, from his smile, Jiang Lu felt that it was not that he was not like him, but that he did not show the murderous side.

Perhaps among the more than 20 children of his father, he was the only one who was most like his father!

Even though he didn't look like Fusu, he had the same arbitrary and unruly character as his father, who never accepted being inferior to others.

Thinking of this, I felt that the innocent and innocent smile was like water splashes and the moon in the mirror, ethereal and like an illusion.

Facing this pair of smiling eyes, Jiang Lu suddenly looked away and couldn't help but take a step back.

"..." Jiang Chen looked at him, lowered his head and looked at his behavior and clothes, there was really nothing scary about it.

It was interesting.

What did he do to make the Sixth Young Master look so terrified.

Jiang Lu suddenly turned his head and left.

"Sixth Brother." Hu Hai's puzzled voice came from behind.

Jiang Lu paused slightly, thinking of Hu Hai's age, and sighed.

For a child, it might be cruel for an elder brother to leave without saying goodbye. However, Jiang Lu suddenly realized that Hu Hai and he were not of the same kind.

Jiang Chen's tone was light, as if he didn't care about people's comings and goings, "Sixth Brother is leaving again?"

After a long time, Jiang Lu didn't dare to look back, and hummed, "Yes. Sixth Brother is leaving. Hu Hai, you..." He didn't finish the second half of the exhortation, because Jiang Lu knew that even if he exhorted, Hu Hai would not care, and he raised his foot and left.

Zhang Han followed a few steps forward, watching the back of Master Jianglu almost running away, and said to Jiang Chen, "Since the young master is reluctant to leave, why don't you ask to stay? Han heard that Master Jianglu always loves brothers." Among them, he is also very concerned about Hu Hai.

Jiang Chen glanced at him, with a calm look, "Reluctant? General, you are joking. If someone wants to leave, what's the point of forcing him to stay."

Those who can't leave are dead.

…

General Meng Tian is the teacher of the eldest son Fusu. Now in martial arts, His Majesty has sent General Zhang Han to teach the young master Hu Hai. The meaning of this is inevitable that those who are sensitive in the court will know what is going on.

As for the Gongshu case, it was found that the Tian family was secretly involved, and Fusu, under the order of the emperor, imprisoned all the people of the Tian family.

Others don't know what happened inside, but this matter is indeed a relatively swift and resolute task carried out by Fusu. Tian's trading company, from the supervisor to the waiter, no one escaped.

Who could have known that when the city guards surrounded the trading company and broke into the house, they would face a group of bound people.

When asked in the palace, Jiang Chen replied, "Brother, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Fusu showed a look of "as expected", "When did you catch them?"

Jiang Chen seemed to think for a while, "Ten days ago."

"..."Isn't that the day when Gongshu's case happened? "Do you know that this case is related to the Tian family?"

"Time and place are both essential. Since it is not a sudden idea, it must have been planned a lot. Such a great place has been found. If you say that there is no traitor in Xianyang, can you believe it?"

"Then how can we be sure that it was done by the Tian family?"

"Oh?... I just surrounded the trading company."

"But... why did they confess the case without any resistance?"

Jiang Chen smiled back, and Lu Yongcheng explained sincerely, "Because the young master told them that the Qin cavalry had captured the brothers of the Qi Tian family, and Tian Meng and Tian Yao had confessed all the cases." If the master has been caught, what is the point of the small fish and shrimp resisting stubbornly.

Fusu: "... This... This..." To obtain the results of the case by deception is... It is not in line with the way of a gentleman.

He hesitated for a while, then asked, "Since you solved this matter, why don't you report it directly to your father?" If he ended the case, wouldn't it be to hide Hu Hai's contribution...

Lu Yong frowned slightly, "Eldest son, the young master surrounded the trading company to help you, why did you force the young master into a desperate situation?"

Fusu was stunned, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Yong said, "In Xianyang City, there was no military order but troops were mobilized to surround the old residences. If Your Majesty knew, do you think Your Majesty would forgive the young master?"

In the eyes of His Majesty, the laws of Qin are above everything else.

Even if he spared the young master for the sake of the father-son relationship, he would inevitably have to explain the necessary Qin laws. At least, he would have to be flogged.

Fusu was silent. He was not a stupid person. But when facing this smart brother, his reaction always seemed to be a little slow.

"I didn't think it through. Hu Hai, let your elder brother handle this matter."

Lu Yong wanted to refute a few more words, but when he looked back at Jiang Chen's eyes, which seemed indifferent but were actually getting more and more gloomy because of his words, his throat was blocked and he stopped arguing.

The young master was too tolerant of the eldest master Fusu. The eldest master was soft-hearted, and the young master had to consider everything a little more to avoid any fish slipping through the net. Before, the young master quarreled with the Minister of the Central Chariot House because of the eldest master's affairs, and he fell ill due to a cold in anger. This time the situation was even more urgent. He rashly assembled the guards to seal up the trading company, and in the end, all the credit had to be given to the eldest master, which was really unfair for him.

The young master was arrogant by nature, but he was really good to this brother. But the eldest master didn't have any intention of understanding, and Lu Yong couldn't stand it. In essence, it was still because the young master was too easy-going. He didn't advertise his achievements to the world, but always kept them hidden silently.

Lu Yong followed Hu Hai for five years and knew how smart his master was. He was no worse than Fusu, and was obviously also an eagle, but because of his brother's status as the crown prince, he restrained himself and was unwilling to share his brother's glory...

It was so distressing.

At least in Lu Yong's heart, there was no one more considerate and thoughtful than his own son.

He looked at Jiang Chen with a sad and melancholy expression, and Jiang Chen was puzzled.

"..." Fusu. Why did this eunuch of his younger brother look murderous as soon as he met him?

He had heard of Lu Yong.

This person was not originally a palace eunuch. He had killed his brother and sister-in-law and was arrested by the government. At that time, Zhao Gao judged the case and sentenced him to death. It was Hu Hai who pleaded for him and allowed him to enter the palace to accompany him to avoid the death penalty.

Later, the case took a big turn. It turned out that his brother and sister-in-law treated their mother harshly for a long time, which indirectly caused her death. This person was so angry that he raised the butcher knife.

He was not a truly unforgivable person.

In any case, Lu Yong was saved by Hu Hai and stayed with Hu Hai from then on.
