In the cell.
Under the expectant gazes of Ying Zheng and Meng Yi…
Finally, Fu Su's contemplation came to an end.
Actually, he did not think about it for long.
After all, Jiang Chen had explained it in detail.
Fu Su was not a fool. On the contrary, he had been very smart since he was young.
He quickly thought about how much of an impact it would have on Great Qin if the path to promotion was blocked.
After understanding all this.
Fu Su cupped his hands at the teacher opposite him with a worried expression.
He said,
"Teacher Jiang, I understand the severity of the blockage in the military merits passageway.”
"Teacher Jiang, please tell me how to make Great Qin's military merit system come back to life.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
"A teacher is someone who preaches knowledge and dispels doubts.”
"If you have any questions, I will naturally help you solve them.”
Hearing his teacher's words, Fu Su was moved.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.
"A teacher is a teacher who preaches knowledge and dispels doubts. Jiang Shizhen is a saint of the world. I am grateful to be able to become your disciple!”
Fu Su wasn't the only one who couldn't contain his excitement when he heard Jiang Chen say," A teacher can teach and explain."
Meng Yi, who was at the side, was also mumbling.
Ying Zheng, who was in the secret room next door, was no exception.
This was originally a famous quote from Han Yu's "On Teachers".
It was said by Jiang Chen in the Pre-Qin Era, after a long history of nearly a thousand years.
Jiang Chen couldn't have imagined the shock he had caused to the people of his generation.
Ying Zheng savored it carefully.
In the end, he could only sigh at Jiang Chen.
As expected of someone born with knowledge!
A casual sentence was so thought-provoking.
A teacher is a teacher who preaches, teaches, and dispels doubts.
What a good way to teach and dispel doubts!
One sentence clearly explained Master He.
What should a master do?
Preaching, teaching, answering questions!
Just as Ying Zheng was sighing.
A figure suddenly walked in from behind.
"Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at the Tiger Troop of Great Qin, who was escorting him out.
He frowned slightly.
He said in a deep voice,
"But what did you get out of it?"
He thought that the scout outside Xianyang Palace had been captured by the Tiger Troop and interrogated for information.
However, he didn't seem to have considered the possibility that the person wasn't caught.
In fact, Ying Zheng had never thought of such a situation.
This was because the First Emperor of Great Qin was confident that no one could stay in Xianyang City.
Escaping from Great Qin's Tiger Warriors right under his nose.
Hu Ben was ashamed of the Emperor's question.
He lowered his head and cupped his hands.
"Please forgive us, Your Majesty. We have just captured the person who seems to be a spy and have yet to interrogate him for any information.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's frown deepened.
First, he waved his sleeves to show that he would not blame them.
Then he asked,"
"Is there anything else?”
" Your Majesty is wise!" Hu Ben flattered the First Emperor.
"Dr. Chunyu Yue brought dozens of Confucian scholars with him. They wanted to enter the imperial prison with the warrant of the internal historian, but the jailers guarding the gate ignored them."”
"Right now, both sides are confronting each other outside the imperial prison.”
"I felt that this matter should be reported to Your Majesty, so I dared to enter the secret chamber to disturb Your Majesty.”
Chunyu Yue brought dozens of Confucian scholars with him and wanted to enter the imperial prison?
After listening to Hu Ben's explanation.
Ying Zheng immediately realized the purpose of Chunyu Yue and the others.
He sneered.
It was most likely because of the imperial edict that I issued to allow the original officials of the six states to pass the examination and become county officers and county governors of Great Qin.
He wanted to enter the imperial prison and inform Fu Su of this matter?
Then, he would persuade Fu Su to be released from prison and return to Xianyang Palace to remonstrate?
Do you want Zhen and Fu Su to be like before, father and son quarreling in court because of their own opinions?
Hehe, Chunyu Yue and the other scholars were really like dogs that couldn't change!
Ying Zheng's face darkened as he flicked his sleeves and said,"
"Tell the jailers to stop Chunyu Yue and the others outside. They are not allowed to take a single step into the imperial prison.”
"If Chunyu Yue and the others want to force their way in.”
"They should know how to deal with those who trespass into the forbidden area of the Heavenly Prison.”
Hu Ben listened to the Emperor's cold words that were filled with killing intent.
He hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands.
"Yes, I understand."
"Those who trespass into the forbidden area of the Heavenly Prison shall be killed immediately!”
After he finished speaking, he saw the Emperor nod slightly.
Hu Ben turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as he walked to the door of the secret chamber and was about to disappear...
The Emperor suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a minute."
Hu Ben was stunned and quickly turned around.
He looked at the Emperor in confusion.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
"Let them in."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that Chunyu Yue and the other Confucians should be imprisoned?”
"Of course. Remember to warn Chunyu Yue and the others not to expose Fu Su's identity when there are other people in the prison.”
"Don't say it's Zhen's intention. Let them speculate on their own.”
"Go ahead."
He looked at the back of the Emperor who had already turned around after saying that.
Hu Ben opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.
But in the end, he did not say anything.
He bowed again and left the secret chamber.
Ying Zheng listened to the gradually weakening footsteps behind him.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Why did he change his mind in the end?
It was actually very simple.
He wanted to take a look. He had been taught by Jiang Chen for so many days.
Would his eldest son, Fusu, still be bewitched by Chunyu Yue and the other scholars?
It shouldn't be, right?
Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Fu Su.
He looked so grateful to Jiang Chen and bowed deeply.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched.
He felt that it was really hard to say.
This child was smart.
But most of the time, she was so naive that it made people feel scared.
...
Outside the imperial prison.
Chunyu Yue and the other Confucians were still confronting the jailers.
"This is the warrant of the internal history!"
"Are you going to disobey my orders?”
A middle-aged scholar stood up and said righteously.
Unfortunately, the jailers on the opposite side ignored him.
He still stood there coldly, his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.
It was as if as long as Chunyu Yue and the others dared to take another step forward.
They dared to draw their sabers and charge forward to kill.
Not to mention anything else, just that aura was indeed terrifying.
Chunyu Yue and the others were so angry that their chests heaved up and down. They kept accusing the jailers of disobeying orders and not knowing the rules.
They would definitely report them to the internal history later.
But talk is talk, anger is anger.
None of these Confucians dared to take a step forward.
It was still the same sentence.
Words, in the face of absolute violence.
He had no resistance at all!
Whatever you say.
But if you dare to take action.
I'm sorry, but violence will teach you how to behave.
......
After cursing for a long time, the jailers opposite him did not react at all.
Chunyu Yue and the others really had no other choice.
Just as they were about to get someone to complain to the internal history.
The figure of the Hu Ben who had gone to the secret chamber earlier walked out of the imperial prison.
Seeing him appear.
The jailers cupped their hands and bowed.
On the other side, Chunyu Yue and the others did not know why Great Qin's Tiger Troop, which was responsible for protecting the Emperor, had appeared in the Imperial Prison.
However, he still nodded reluctantly as a greeting.
Hu Ben didn't hesitate and said directly,"
"I'm guarding the imperial prison under Your Majesty's orders.”
"The Heavenly Prison is a forbidden area. What is the matter with you making a ruckus here?”
Hearing this, the jailers lowered their heads and did not speak.
However, the Confucianists on the other side were unwilling.
I'm giving you face. Seeing that you're Hu Ben, who's in charge of protecting the emperor, I nodded as a greeting when I met you.
Who do you think you are if I don't give you face?
He was just a warrior who only knew how to use brute force and swords.
How dare you teach us disciples of Confucius a lesson?
Soon, a Confucian scholar was about to teach Hu Ben what the law was and what the path of the Scholarly Sage was.
However, Chun Yuyue stopped him.
The reason why he stopped them was because Chunyu Yue guessed.
The Tiger Troop was specially sent by the First Emperor to protect the safety of the eldest son, Fu Su, who was in the imperial prison.
If they offended him now…
Not to mention that he could not enter the imperial prison to find the Eldest Young Master because of this, it affected his own plans and the plans of the people behind him.
Just the fact that Hu Ben went to complain to the First Emperor was enough to make Chunyu Yue and the others suffer.
As the saying went, a wise man knew how to adapt to the times.
Chunyu Yue had always thought that he was a man who knew how to adapt to the times.
Otherwise, how could he, a doctor from the Qi Kingdom, come to Great Qin?
"It is not our wish to make a ruckus in front of the Heavenly Prison.”Chunyu Yue cupped his hands at Hu Ben and said in a deep voice.
"We have the warrant of the internal history in our hands. According to the rules, we can naturally enter the imperial prison.”
"But I don't know if these jailers didn't hear us or didn't recognize the internal history's warrant, but they kept blocking us from entering the imperial prison.”
"Therefore, someone must have been targeted and despised. It's reasonable for them to argue with him in a moment of desperation.”
Chunyu Yue's words didn't seem to put the blame on anyone.
But in fact, every word was slandering the jailers.
You can enter the imperial prison with the warrant of the internal history?
Do you think Great Qin's harsh laws are fake?
Unless you have the First Emperor's warrant!
As for the quarrel that happened later, it was all the chatter of the group of Confucian scholars behind him.
The jailers did not say a word.
He stood quietly at his original spot, holding onto his post.
After hearing Chunyu Yue's explanation, which completely ignored the reality of the situation, he was shocked.
The jailers were instantly enraged.
However, when he saw Hu Ben standing in front of him.
No matter how angry they were, they stood still and did not speak.
This was because these jailers were old Qin soldiers who had been on the battlefield before.
With the general in front, the soldiers only needed to listen quietly. This was the rule of the army.
Hu Ben looked at Chunyu Yue, who had a calm expression on his face.
He felt extremely disgusted.
Actually, he didn't care who the problem was.
His Majesty had already ordered him to release Chunyu Yue and the others into the imperial prison.
Even if Chunyu Yue didn't say anything.
Hu Ben would still ask the jailers to make way and open the door.
Forget it, it was better to let these annoying things enter.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Hu Ben waved at the jailers behind him.
"Let them in."
Hearing this, the jailers were stunned.
All of their faces revealed an unwilling expression.
However, military orders were like mountains, and they could only obey Hu Ben's orders.
He opened the path and opened the door.
Seeing this, Chunyu Yue and the other Confucians revealed smug expressions.
He raised his chin and swaggered into the imperial prison.
When he passed by the jailers, he even snorted coldly.
The jailers wished they were on the battlefield.
If that was the case, he would be able to pull out the long knife at his waist and kill these dogs.
Chunyu Yue cupped his hands at Hu Ben and prepared to enter the imperial prison.
Hu Ben reached out his hand to stop him and met his puzzled gaze.
He told Chunyu Yue what the Emperor had told him before.
He couldn't expose the Eldest Young Master's true identity in the imperial prison?
Chunyu Yue was stunned.
However, he didn't think too much of it.
He thought that the Emperor was angry because he had been contradicted by the Eldest Young Master and said something cruel.
He didn't want the wardens and prisoners in the imperial prison to know the identity of the Eldest Young Master.
In this case, the Eldest Young Master would be tortured by the jailers and prisoners.
Chunyu Yue despised the Emperor's actions.
Then, he nodded to Hu Ben, indicating that he understood.
He walked into the imperial prison.
Hu Ben and the surrounding jailers watched as they gradually disappeared into the darkness.
All of them let out a disdainful laugh and spat on the ground.
“tui! What the hell is this?!"
......
In the cell.
The agitated Fu Su finally calmed down.
Kneeling on the ground again, he looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.
How should he put it?
Jiang Chen felt it was good to be admired.
However, wasn't the student's gaze a little too fiery?
Jiang Chen touched his nose and pretended he hadn't felt anything.
Then, he continued his lecture.
"Actually, the 20 Rank system that the Duke of Shang set up for Great Qin is not bad.”
"The reason why the path to promotion is blocked now is that the number of military merits has increased.”
"The main reason isn't because of the 20 ranks system.”
"It's because Great Qin has already swept through the six countries and unified the world. The number of wars it has started has greatly decreased.”
"Although there are the Baiyue in the south and the Xiongnu in the north.”
"However, the Xiongnu can only temporarily build the Great Wall to defend; Great Qin is unable to launch an all-out war against them.”
"As for the Bai Yue in the south, if it wasn't for the fact that the geography isn't suitable for the Qin army to fight, I'm afraid it would have ended in a year and a half.”
"All in all, Great Qin will no longer be able to give its soldiers a chance to advance like it did in the past.”
"That's why I want to solve the problem of the blockage of the military merit promotion channel.”
"We have to find another way out."
"At the same time, we will slightly change the 20-rank nobility system.”
"Let Great Qin's soldiers continue to have opportunities to advance, reignite their fighting spirit, and strengthen their loyalty to the country.”
Hearing his teacher's analysis, Fu Su agreed with him.
He nodded repeatedly and bowed his head to his teacher.
His voice was firm as he said,"
"Teacher Jiang, please enlighten me. What is the other path for Great Qin's military merits?”
Meng Yi and Ying Zheng, who were next door, both looked at Jiang Chen with burning eyes.
She looked forward to his next answer.
Jiang Chen felt a little uncomfortable under their passionate gazes.
Hmm? Why did it feel like they weren't the only ones watching him?
Jiang Chen didn't expect that there would be a secret room next to the Celestial Prison.
There was actually Great Qin's First Emperor eavesdropping on him.
"What's the hurry? I was about to say it, but now that you interrupted me, my thoughts are in a mess.”
"Let me organize my thoughts first."
He looked at his teacher, who was lying on the straw and slapping his thigh with his eyes closed.
Fu Su could not help but smile bitterly.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen already had a plan in mind.
It didn't take long for him to reorganize his thoughts.
He was about to speak.
"Alright, let's continue."
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the cell.
He interrupted Jiang Chen again.
"Young Master, this old man has come to fetch you from prison.”
Hearing this, Fu Su, Meng Yi, and Ying Zheng, who was in the secret room next door, turned their furious gazes towards the source of the voice.
Chunyu Yue stood at the door of the cell. The Eldest Young Master and a prisoner with disheveled hair beside him suddenly turned their heads and glared at him.
He was instantly shocked.
Ying Zheng saw that it was Chunyu Yue.
He thought that he had dared to interrupt Jiang Chen's speech about the other way out for Great Qin's military merits.
The First Emperor of Great Qin was furious!
"Bastard, why did you come at this critical moment?”
"Chunyu Yue, you damn pedantic scholar!”
Poor Professor Great Qin, he still didn't know.
His sudden appearance had interrupted Jiang Chen's words. What a terrible ending he would bring to himself.
The current him only felt that it was strange.
He wondered why the Eldest Young Master and the prisoner beside him were staring at him fiercely.
Why did he suddenly feel a chill run down his spine?
