Li Si faced this group of scholars from various countries in Shandong, many of whom were from Confucianism, and there was also Gu Shuang, a member of the Imperial Prefect's Office, who had a big head.
He said to the official who followed him: "Please describe this incident completely, impartially and state the facts."
The official told in detail how many foreign scholars had come to seek refuge in the past few days, how they gathered after failing the exam, and why Gu Shuang was in front of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion and why he drew his sword to hurt people. They all described it all.
After listening, Li Si asked them: "Which of you denies what happened?"
All the scholars looked at me and I looked at you, and in the end they all shook their heads.
Ju Shuang also replied: "What he said is the truth, I don't deny it."
"Huh~ Then there's nothing to say. Our Daqin's standards for recruiting talents are set by the Imperial Master. Since you all agree with me, you should have read some of the Imperial Master's teaching books, but you haven't. Instead, because of this
Criticize the Imperial Master. You will be recorded by our Qin State and will never be employed in the future. Please leave Hangu tomorrow."
Li Si looked at Ju Shuang and the one with the broken arm again, paused and said, "As for you two, go to the border of Qin and Zhao, and once you have finished the city, you will be beaten to death at the age of four."
Ju Shuang nodded to accept, but still added, "Can you allow me to go back to my house and explain?"
Li Si looked at her and sighed, "Okay, remember not to waste time."
He then said to the official: "You take these people back and take care of them. I will ask the people from the Tingwei Mansion to help you and blast them out of Hangu early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Lord Tingwei."
Even though these scholars were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything in Tingwei's mansion and were escorted back to the posthouse where the scholars were housed.
Li Si watched all the scholars and Ju Shuang leave, shook his head and sighed: "Junior brother, junior brother, sometimes you are so kind and unreasonable, and sometimes you are so cold and heartless. Miss Ju Shuang has been following you for ten years,
In order to prevent my judgment from being disturbed, you didn’t even come to accompany me in person... Sigh~"
Imperial Prefecture
Lu Yan returned to his room without saying a word, looking at the notes on his desk that were full of exam question design, scoring standards, and various aspects of school management, and punched them down with hatred.
He remembered a ridiculous story: Legend has it that after the death of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang was liquidated by the Qin nobles and tried to escape from Qin. However, because the household registration system he established was too strict, he was rejected by the post office and reported. In the end, Shang Yang was killed by a chariot.
.
The story may not be very believable, but Lu Yan felt the helplessness in it. At this time, when Ju Shuang encountered such a thing, the National Preceptor's Office must not leave the impression of disrespecting the law on the world, so there was only...
At this time, the door rang, and Ji Yan ran in and asked eagerly: "Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu, what will happen to my mother?"
"If you fight and injure someone, you will be tortured as soon as the city is over, and you will be sentenced to four years of age."
"But it was obviously that person who hit me, and my mother took action. How could Qin Fa be so unreasonable!"
How can I put this? Qin Fa will punish both parties severely in fights, and the one who strikes first will be punished more severely.
It's a bit like that in later generations, if he hits you, you can't fight back. Fighting back is a fight, but why should I be beaten unilaterally?
At this time, the Qin State had very strict management of fights. Even if two people confronted each other and took sticks but did not hit anyone, they would be punished. This is also the main reason why the world of Qin is calmer than other countries. If you want to fight, you must have
If you can avoid the government, you will have to wait to serve your sentence.
Lu Yan had no way of explaining it to her, so he just shook his head and said, "Qin Fa's principles are different from what you want."
Ji Yan took two steps back, pointed at him and asked: "Uncle Lu, you don't care about your mother at all, do you?! She was sent to Tingwei Mansion because of your order, you didn't even look at her, you
Why treat her like this!"
"For so many years, as long as I can remember, who has been taking care of this family? What is going on in your mind? War, agriculture, printing, education, reform, popular support, unification, all the things to be planned are one after another.
Occasionally, when I have free time, I spend time with Nongyu, or teach me and Brother Jie, what on earth do you think of the mother in this family?"
Lu Yan looked at her flushed face and tears couldn't stop falling. Every question pierced his heart like a sharp sword.
"What does mother mean in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion? Tell me!"
What does Ju Shuang mean in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion...
Ji Yan yelled at him, and finally collapsed on the ground helplessly, "It's all my fault... I misunderstood my mother. I shouldn't hate her because of my father. If I hadn't bumped into that person, everything would have happened."
It won't happen anymore...it's all my fault, my fault..."
Father?
Did Ju Shuang tell her about Lord Xinling?
"Uncle Lu, save mother, don't let her be punished, Uncle Lu~"
Lu Yan knelt down and said to her: "Sorry, Ayan, I can't do this."
Ji Yan gradually stopped crying, wiped away her tears and said, "...Okay, I understand...it's just four years in prison, I'll go with my mother!"
At this time, Nong Yu hurriedly walked in and said: "Husband, trouble, people from Tingwei Mansion came back with their sister and said they would clean her up and escort her to the border of Qin and Zhao to do hard labor."
Ji Yan sullenly pushed Nong Yu away and rushed out.
Nongyu looked confused, "Ayan, what did you just do?"
"I know, let's go take a look." Lu Yan stood up, took her hand and walked out.
Outside, Shuang Shuang wiped Ji Yan's face, smiled and said, "Okay, Ayan, mother is fine. She has completed her sentence. She won't be missing any arms or legs, and she won't have tattoos on her face. I promise to come back next time."
, mother is still so beautiful."
"I'm sorry, mother. I shouldn't blame you. If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened at all."
"You are stronger than I thought, Ayan, mother is proud of you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ji Yan took the initiative to hug Ju Shuang's neck and said firmly: "Mother, I want to go to the border with you, and I will always stay with you."
Ju Shuang's expression suddenly changed, and he put her down seriously, "No, you are only eleven years old."
"What's wrong with being eleven? It sounds like all eleven-year-olds in the world don't have to endure hardship anymore. I can do it."
Seeing her daughter's resolute expression, she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She advised softly: "Teenage is the most precious time in your life. You should study more and not waste it on meaningless things. Follow her at home.
Uncle Lu, study well in literature and martial arts, ah~"
"Mom, staying with you means a lot to me. Also, I don't want Uncle Lu to teach me anymore!"
Ju Shuang frowned and asked again: "What did you say?"
"I don't want Uncle Lu to teach me."
"Snapped-"
She slapped her daughter on the face, her face filled with coldness, "If you really think about your mother, don't waste your time, don't waste your talent, grow into a person that your mother is proud of, this is
Filial piety. Instead of wasting your youth because of impulsive feelings."
Ji Yan had no intention of changing his mind, "I don't want to. Uncle Lu has an aunt in his heart, the King of Qin, a senior brother, a commoner and a commoner, and many people in the world, but he can't think of his mother. Mother, you are not in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
, I won’t wait any longer.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I am not sleeply."
"Ugh~"
Ji Yan suddenly drew out Gu Shuang's Ziyun Sword and placed it across his neck, "This will prove my determination."
Ju Shuang glanced at Lu Yan without leaving any trace, hoping that he would come up with a solution.
Lu Yan felt his mind twisting, and finally made a decision: "Ayan, you are very smart. If this is your decision as Ji Yan, and not out of the impulse of a child, then I respect your choice.
Master Qiongxinzi from the Taoist sect took a fancy to your talent when you were five years old and wanted to accept you as his disciple. Since you don’t want to stay in the Imperial Prefecture and go to study with Master Qiuxinzi, do you have any objections?"
"Master Qixinzi...Taoist clan...Okay, I'll go. Mother, I will never let you down."
Ju Shuang was a little worried, but when she saw the look in Lu Yan's eyes, she felt relieved.
