Two years after the First Emperor.
Under the night sky.
The Xianyang Palace of the Great Qin Empire was like a black dragon, majestic and solemn.
In Zhangtai Palace.
Thousands of lanterns swayed in the wind.
On the steps of the palace.
A figure dressed in a black dragon robe and wearing a crown of twelve emperors was reading the memorial.
He was the only one in the entire hall.
However, he should have been the only one.
When a king ascends high, he is lonely.
Destroy the six countries and unify the world.
To establish a unified Great Qin Empire.
He took the names of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and called them emperors.
The First Emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng, was the loneliest person in the world.
The sound of armor rubbing against each other came from outside the hall.
A black-armored figure walked into the hall.
He knelt on one knee and didn't dare to look at the First Emperor of Great Qin.
"Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand.
He looked down at the figure kneeling on one knee.
He said in a deep voice,
"Meng Yi, have you checked on Fu Su's recent situation?”
"Replying to Your Majesty, I have already investigated the Eldest Young Master's recent situation.”
"Speak." Ying Zheng waved his sleeve.
Meng Yi did not dare to be negligent and said,
"It has been half a month since the Eldest Young Master voluntarily entered the imperial prison of Xianyang after the last quarrel with His Majesty.”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
"However, I have already sent someone to inform the jailer that the Eldest Young Master has not suffered. Everything is as usual.”
"I acted on my own accord. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
Ying Zheng gave Meng Yi a deep look.
"Half a year's salary."
After announcing the punishment, Ying Zheng waved his sleeve to dismiss Meng Yi.
He was prepared to continue reading the memorials.
However, Meng Yi didn't follow the First Emperor's orders.
He remained kneeling on the spot with a hesitant look on his face.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng, who was standing above, could not help but frown slightly.
Three generations of the Meng family had been officials in Qin.
He was also deeply favored by the First Emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng.
However, they had never been arrogant because of their favor.
At all times, he was doing his best to do his duty as a subject.
And now, he had already asked him to retreat.
Meng Yi remained where he was.
Obviously, there was something he wanted to say, but he hesitated and didn't dare to say it.
"If you have something to say, say it. Zhen will not punish you.”Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Meng Yi no longer hesitated.
" Your Majesty, there's a young Confucian scholar named Jiang Chen in the Eldest Young Master's cell. The Eldest Young Master has been living with him under the alias Huang Zhang for the past half a month. The two of them have been having a good chat.”
"It is said that the Eldest Young Master has already called him Master.”
"This subject feels that there is something fishy about this matter, so I report this to Your Majesty.”
As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking.
The entire hall fell silent.
There were only lights that moved with the wind from time to time.
Only then could it show that time was still flowing.
Suddenly.
An extremely cold chuckle came from above.
"Heh, Confucianism, what a good Confucianism!”
Ying Zheng stood up from the ground abruptly, looking at the dark night sky outside the hall with his dragon eyes, emitting a soul-stirring light.
"It's not enough for my eldest son to say that my father is cruel.”
"It's not enough to separate me from my eldest son.”
"Now that Fusu is in prison, they still refuse to let go of the opportunity and still want to send people to bewitch my eldest son?”
"Do you really think I don't dare to kill these Confucians?”
"Do you really think that Our Great Qin cannot be separated from the Confucians?”
Dragons have reverse scales, and they will be angry if they touch them.
The relationship between him and his eldest son, Fusu, was the reverse scale of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.
Holding the Emperor's Sword with his left hand, Ying Zheng looked down at Meng Yi, who had changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees.
His tone was filled with intense killing intent.
"Meng Yi, kill that scholar Jiang Chen for me.”
"When you kill, call all the Confucian scholars in Xianyang City to watch.”
"I want them to know what kind of ending they will face if they cross my bottom line and try to drive a wedge between me and Fu Su!”
The First Emperor's killing intent soared, so Meng Yi naturally didn't dare to disobey.
First, he nodded, then hesitated and said,
"But Your Majesty, how should we explain this to the Eldest Young Master?”
"I'm afraid that when the Eldest Young Master finds out, those Confucians 'motives will be…"
Meng Yi did not finish his sentence.
But Ying Zheng was clear.
He was angry just now, but now he thought about it calmly.
If he had really ordered the Confucian scholar Jiang Chen to be executed in prison…
According to Fu Su's temper, his teacher had been killed.
If that was the case, the father and son would really be separated.
However, the words had already been said.
How can the emperor change his mind?
Just when Ying Zheng was silent.
Meng Yi spoke again,
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Jiang Chen didn't bewitch the Eldest Young Master.”
" As for becoming Jiang Chen's disciple, Jiang Chen didn't want to at first, but the Eldest Young Master was stubborn and begged him every day.”
"Jiang Chen had no choice but to accept it.”
Hearing Meng Yi's words, Ying Zheng could not help but reveal a surprised look in his eyes.
Ying Zheng knew exactly what kind of person his eldest son, Fu Su, was.
Although he was taught by the Confucian scholars to be very pedantic and spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
However, Fu Su, who had been smart since childhood and had grown up in the palace.
However, he was an extremely proud person in his heart.
At first, Ying Zheng thought that Jiang Chen had bewitched Fu Su with his sweet words, and that was why Fu Su had called him his master.
However, he did not expect that others did not want to be the master of Fu Su, the eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty.
It was only after Fu Suku's (death) bitter (skin) begging (face) that he had no choice but to agree.
"You mean this young scholar named Jiang Chen is very capable?”
"I don't know," Meng Yi replied.
Ying Zheng was speechless.
Ying Zheng did not react for a moment.
But very soon, Meng Yi continued,
" I wouldn't dare to lie to Your Majesty. I really don't know if Jiang Chen is capable or not.”
"It's because I really don't understand what he said to the Eldest Young Master.”
"But I am greatly shocked."
Ying Zheng looked down at Meng Yi.
To Meng tribe and Meng Yi.
Ying Zheng still believed it.
He silently knelt on the ground again.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment.
Although he believed Meng Yi's words, he was still worried about his eldest son, Fu Su.
He was afraid that he would be bewitched by the Confucian scholar again.
Finally, Ying Zheng made his decision.
" When Jiang Chen and Fusu are giving a lecture tomorrow, I'll attend it in person. Meng Yi, make the necessary arrangements.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, Meng Yi slowly left the hall.
Ying Zheng did not continue to read the memorials immediately.
Instead, he knelt behind the desk and pondered.
" Scholar Jiang Chen?"
"It would be best if everything goes as Meng Yi said."
"But if I find out that you are bewitching my Fusu, I will not let you go.”
...
"Kill them!"
......
On the other side.
Xianyang Heavenly Prison.
Jiang Chen, who was wearing a prisoner's uniform, tossed and turned on the straw. He couldn't sleep.
It wasn't because of the cold and humidity of the prison.
Jiang Chen was already used to this.
What really made it difficult for him to fall asleep was that there was a fly buzzing beside him.
" Teacher Jiang, it's only 10:00 now. It's not good for your health to sleep so early. Please get up and teach the students the 'Theory of the Relationship between the Farming and the Nomadism Nations'."
"How can you be like this? Last time, you only taught the beginning, and now the students 'minds are filled with the rest of the content.”
"Teacher Jiang, are you asleep? I can't sleep."
"Jiang shi, Jiang shi, can you get up? Get up and explain to the students again. Just a little bit, okay?”
A young man, who looked handsome but dumb, kept pushing Jiang Chen's back.
He tried to wake Jiang Chen up.
However, how could someone who pretended to be asleep be woken up?
But Jiang Chen was really annoying.
He looked at the bright moon outside the small window.
He thought to himself,'I've already gone through a hundred reincarnations, and all that's left is this final death trial.'
At that time, he would be able to return to the modern era and live forever.
However, when would the death tribulation of this life descend?
Hurry up, or I'm really afraid that I won't be able to hold back and kill my roommate next to me.
Because he was even more annoying than Tang Sanzang in A Chinese Oath to the West!
