"Uncle, are you saying that Meng Tian did this on purpose?"
"That's not nonsense. How dare this idiot come to you without his order?"
The third young master looked a little worried and angry, looking at Li You with disappointment in his eyes.
Li You was the only person he trusted in the border county. During this period, he really regarded Li You as a brother, closer than his own brothers.
"I regard you as my brother, but you are actually from Mengtian..."
"fart!"
Li You jumped up, unable to suppress the anger in his heart despite the pain in his skin and flesh, he kicked over the table, his performance was even more intense than that of Ying Jianglu.
Facing the Third Young Master, he pointed at Ying Chengxuan and said:
"Nai Gong is here to see you! What does it have to do with the general! Don't listen to his bullshit."
There was a severe pain in his elbow, as if it was broken, which choked Li You and left him with obscene words.
The young man squatted on the ground with his arms covered, his face covered in cold sweat, and he whispered in pain.
Ying Jianglu only struggled for a moment, then quickly walked up to him. From the strength of Ying Chengyu's attack, he judged that his uncle was really angry and was not just joking like that.
He asked his offended uncle with a cold expression:
"Uncle, calm down. Li Youta was in a moment of impatience and got carried away. He definitely didn't do it intentionally."
Ying Chengqian pulled his third nephew away.
Ying Jianglu's face was full of worry, but he didn't dare to stop him.
Ying Chengyu took two steps forward and lightly kicked the boy's calf.
Not very harmful, but quite insulting.
The young man raised his head. Although he was looking up, his face was filled with hatred and showed no sign of submission.
How could a person like Li Si, who judged situations and situations, raise such a strong son... Ying Chengyu muttered in his heart and smiled, like ice melting away.
"Does it hurt?"
The young man was angry.
The military has always come into contact with straightforward men. How could there be such a moody lunatic?
"You must have some kind of epilepsy!"
"You are not the first person to say this, and you will not be the last, but that is not what I want to say today."
Ying Chengyu grabbed his third nephew and smiled at the young man:
"Do you think that little Taotie stood in front of you just now, voluntarily or because of my request?"
The boy's pain suddenly stopped, his feeling and consciousness were separated, and the only thing left in his mind was the sound of Xi Ying Cheng Yu.
The Third Young Master's performance wasn't much better either. He stood stiffly on the spot like a marionette.
"Since I entered the city, all my interactions with Little Taotie have been in front of your eyes. I will definitely not ask him to save you in advance. So, when he stood in front of you just now to stand up for you, he must have done it out of his true heart, right?
"I'm telling you now, I'm doing this hard because I'm sure he will stand up for you and provide him with this opportunity to save you. I want you to be grateful to him.
"I can also say to General Lu next: 'I have to say this, and I have to slap him twice. If you still stand here to protect this guy, then take the slap for him.'
"Since Jiang Lu's temper will definitely not change, will you feel more grateful to Jiang Lu after I slap him with these two slaps? Everything Jiang Lu does is from his heart, so do you think this matter has anything to do with it?
Am I off?"
Li You's head was buzzing and blank, as if stars were exploding in his head.
Ying Jianglu's breathing was rapid, causing his swollen face to burst into pain, but he couldn't feel it at all.
If they hadn't listened to Ying Chengxuan's story, the two of them wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with it.
Li Youjie acted out of his own heart, and General Yinglu protected his brothers out of his own heart. What does it have to do with others?
But after hearing what Ying Chengyu said, how could the two of them think that it had nothing to do with others? Everything seemed natural, but in fact it had been arranged by Ying Chengyu!
Ying Chengyu returned to his seat, poured himself a drink, and talked while drinking.
"The third nephew grew up in the palace since he was a child and is familiar with hundreds of books. No matter how unreliable my little sister is, she still cares about teaching her own son.
"How could the Qin army, who had just arrived in the border army and didn't know a single Chinese character and only knew how to kill and play with women, urinate in a pot?
"At this time, as long as a literate person appears in front of the third nephew, the third nephew will feel like a close friend. When a son of the prime minister appears, that is Boya Yuziqi!
"These Qin soldiers are like silt. With them as a backdrop, you, Li You, are like one of the few white lotuses here.
"If I'm not wrong, since you and your third nephew became brothers, you have a lot of time to look for me every day?
"If you think about it carefully, other than you, the white lotus, do you think any soldier has so much free time, drinking and chatting with others every day? Don't soldiers need to be on duty?
"You don't have to be angry, little Taotie. This idiot is exactly the same as you just now. Everything he does comes from his heart. He truly treats you as a brother and is not under Meng Tian's instigation, otherwise he wouldn't behave so naturally.
"To be honest, I really hope that this fool is being instigated by Meng Tian. If you can act so realistically at such a young age, your future is limitless."
After untying the knot in his heart, Ying Jianglu didn't feel much joy in his heart. Instead, he was filled with gloom.
It's not because Ying Chengyuan said he was a fool, but because he was trapped in Mengtian's network without realizing it.
If what his uncle said is true, then he, Ying Jianglu, has actually been Meng Tian's marionette for these days. He thinks he is being suppressed, which is totally out of the question. The basis of suppression is the confrontation between the two, not one-sided acceptance.
Dominate.
He lifted up Li You, who seemed to have lost his soul, and Ying Jiang Lu forced a smile.
"My uncle thinks too highly of Meng Tian. How could he be as scheming as his uncle?"
"high?"
Ying Chengyu sneered.
"Nai Gong sometimes really can't tell whether you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. No matter which one you are, you are both stupid anyway!
"You can despise the enemy strategically so as not to lose the courage to draw the sword. But you can never despise the enemy tactically. This is the way to your death! Why do you, a powerless Third Young Master, dare not to take the sword?
Does Lord Jiuyuan take it seriously?
"Jiuyuan belongs to Mengtian, Yunzhong belongs to Meng Yi, Uncle Wu, Yanmen belongs to Duke Meng, and now it is inherited by Uncle Wu. There are only seven counties in the northwest, and the Meng family occupies three. Look at which one belongs to the current dynasty.
Is there such an honor?
"A lion fighting a rabbit requires all his strength. What's more, now you are the rabbit and Meng Tian is the lion. Uncle Wu is still here, and Meng Tian is now the head of the Meng family. Even Uncle Wu was summoned to Jiuyuan by a letter from him.
"The imperial brother personally appointed Fusu to be the minister who takes care of life. He is the only civil and military minister in the entire dynasty. Do you think Meng Tian is weak like this? I don't care whether you think Meng Tian is weak or sincere, it's not allowed!"
Ying Jianglu still speaks out.
"A man whom my uncle praised so highly, yet in order to prevent his punishment, he called my father in advance and even pretended to be a soldier and hid in the army. It is really difficult for the general to think highly of him."
Ying Chengyu stopped pouring the wine and made a sound.
"You idiot, you can't teach me."
Walk away with a puff of sleeves.
Ying Jiang was stunned. He didn't expect his uncle to be so impatient.
In his desperation, he didn't even care about his brother. He rushed forward and hugged his uncle's thigh.
"I can teach, I can teach! Uncle, tell me! Jianglu, listen!"
Ying Chengyu kicked him away and yelled angrily.
"If it weren't for your mother's sake, Mr. Nai would have told you to go back to Xianyang! You're going to embarrass me here!"
"You thought I was just putting on a show to show Meng Tian when you received those two slaps! Nai Gong also hit you sincerely! From the time I saw you until now, the performance of the slap on my face has been considered satisfactory!"
Ying Jianglu was like a spring, and jumped back the moment he landed. This time, he hugged Ying Chenglong's thighs, with a look on his face as if he was listening to Guizhen's words.
"What my uncle taught me is what my uncle taught me."
Ying Chengqiao glanced sideways at his three nephews.
"You look down on Meng Tian and call him father. You look ten times uglier than Meng Tian. What should I say?"
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Not letting my uncle leave at this time is the biggest thing!"
Ying Chengxiao's anger softened slightly.
"That's not a bad thing to say. Just get up."
The third young master climbed up in a hurry, as dexterous as a monkey, and carefully held his uncle's arm, as if he were holding an old man who had lost his ability to control himself.
Sitting down again, Ying Jianglu learned his lesson this time and no longer dared to talk nonsense. While pouring wine for his uncle, he carefully and humbly asked for advice.
"Uncle, why did Meng Tian send Li You to me? Isn't he from eldest brother?"
Ying Chengyu took a sip of wine and waved to Li You over there to sit closer and listen. He called Li Youlai not to vent his anger, but to teach him. Li Si had done a lot for him.
A few years later, Li Si found out, laughed loudly, and said, "What you did is worth it." This Chu man once again made the right bet.
The rebellious boy did not rebel this time and sat over silently.
"Meng Tian is not alone. Behind him is the Meng family. The Meng family is both his backing and his burden. He cannot do everything he wants.
"Although Fusu now occupies the position of crown prince, the imperial brother is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period and can still reign for at least twenty or thirty years. Our Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms in just ten years. During such a long period of twenty or thirty years, there will be
What will happen is anyone’s guess.”
Ying Jianglu's eyes lit up.
"Uncle is saying that Meng Tian is optimistic about me? He thinks I can be the second emperor of Qin?"
Ying Chengqiu rolled his eyes at the third nephew who suddenly became excited.
"Think of good things.
"The position of the crown prince is determined. If anything happens, unless Fusu touches the emperor's brother Nilian or dies unexpectedly. Otherwise, the overall situation has been determined. Qin II must be Fusu. You are thinking nonsense.
"The reason why he stood aside to support Su was the emperor's brother's instigation. He deprived you of troops, horses, food and fodder. These were all for the purpose of supporting Su. This was something the emperor liked to hear and see. This is to comply with the emperor's wishes.
"What is wrong with you to think that you are favored by Meng Tian? If you are favored by Meng Tian, you will use your troops to escort Fusu?"
Ying Jianglu looked dejected.
"I won't offend you to death. I gave you Li You because he is very cautious and worried about an almost impossible accident.
"With Li Si at the court and Meng Tian by his side, Li You will be the next generation of Qin Dynasty. If you really achieve great fortune and rise to the top, Li You will be the closest to you, just like Meng Tian and Fusu.
"Even if you want to take revenge today, for Li You's sake, you can't be too harsh on the Meng family. At most, you can just cut off a few ranks of nobles and take over a few cities.
"Today, he and Uncle Wu are sitting on the left. Both father and son have restrained their evil spirits. I will give you the honorary seat on my right hand. I will accompany you to Li You. I also want the county guard, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant to sit down below.
"Two versus five, this is showing weakness and letting you vent your anger. Uncle Wu suddenly slapped him in the face on the street because you received two slaps on the street, so he also received two slaps on the street to eliminate your resentment.
"If you think about it carefully, Meng Tian has been playing with the emperor since they were young. Apart from you, has he ever talked about any of your brothers? He has a sense of proportion in his heart.
"No matter who becomes more powerful in the Qin Dynasty in the future, the Meng family will remain glorious."
The third young master is a little unwilling to give up.
"My uncle just said that twenty or thirty years is too long, and any accident may happen..."
Ying Chengyu thought about the ending of Great Qin in his previous life, and looked at his third nephew with a strange expression.
"The emperor's brother passed away unexpectedly. Li Simi, a close minister, did not mourn. He forged an edict to ask you to succeed him and forged an imperial edict to ask Fu Su. Meng Tian committed suicide. Fu Su committed suicide by wiping his neck on the spot, and Meng Tian committed suicide in despair.
"Only in this case, you will rise to power and the Meng family will be in trouble."
Ying Jianglu was originally depressed, but after hearing these words, he broke into a cold sweat and suddenly became energetic.
Not only him, but also Li You next to him, dripping with cold sweat.
Ying Chengyu dared to say this, but they didn't dare to listen!
Conspiracy to usurp the throne is a serious crime that cannot be solved even if you lose your head, and the three clans have to be reconciled.
"This, this, this..."
Ying Jianglu stammered for a long time, and his heart went crazy when his uncle saw him.
There is no time to formulate words and blurt out what is on my mind.
"This is impossible! This accident is so unexpected!"
Ying Chengqiao chuckled.
"You don't think it's possible either."
But this is real history, and reality is always more magical than fiction.
If Gui Guzi were here, Ying Chengyu would have said this.
"One Meng Tian will make you lose your armor, drink alcohol every day, play with beauties, and spend your time in vain. At the beginning, you despised your elder brother for being trapped in Dazheng Palace by me. Aren't you also trapped in Jiuyuan by Meng Tian?
"Your eldest brother finally killed himself, what about you? You still need me to rescue you. Outsiders laugh at Fusu, but inside the office he is not as good as Fusu. How can you be qualified to compete for the position of prince?"
"It's not that Brother Huang and I didn't give you a chance and favored Fusu. The fact is that your abilities are limited and it's difficult for you to take on big responsibilities!"
Ying Jianglu lowered his head and said nothing.
Ying Chengyu turned to look at the boy beside him who was rubbing his elbow.
"Being a soldier does not require you to abandon your civility and embrace martial arts. The general you admire most is the most intelligent, no less intelligent than your father. Today I will analyze everything he has done. He uses you, do you hate him?"
The young man was stunned. Although he was being used, he really couldn't bear a trace of hatred in his heart.
Without Meng Tian, how could he be a brother to the third son of Da Qin? It is true that he is Li Si's son, and it is true that he was valued and trained by Meng Tian.
But General Ying was the son of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor is a king, and there is only one in the world.
Meng Tian and Li Si are still ministers no matter how noble they are. There are countless of them.
The person who climbed high was never Ying Jianglu, it was him Li You.
"If you want to help your good brother, don't just learn how to fight from Meng Tian, but also learn strategy.
“Anyone can come up with a plan that benefits oneself at the expense of others. Few people can come up with a plan that benefits others and oneself.
"Before the plot is exposed, you don't know that you are being plotted, and you are grateful to him. This is called small cleverness. After the plot is exposed, you know that you are plotted, but you are still grateful to him. This is called great wisdom."
