Qi Ziyuan sat down and looked at Ying Zheng above the master's seat. He couldn't say anything if he was beaten by an unknown person.

"Your Highness." Mo Zhe'an held the child who was pushing his face with his little feet and said, "Your Highness, I see that the corners of this junior brother's eyes have bruises that have not faded. I think he has had a private fight with someone recently."

"Maybe his troubles began with private fights." An said with bad intentions.

Qi Ziyuan's face suddenly turned dark.

This ink master is indeed troublesome!

He thought, sighed, and said, "Your Highness, thank you, Ziyuan is not willing to be honest. But this fact is too strange, and it also makes people lose face..."

"It's okay." Ying Zheng smiled playfully: "You talk, I will make the decision for you."

Faceless...

Ying Zheng looked at Qi Ziyuan.

Qi Ziyuan was the one who knew the most flexibility among the six Confucian scholars who participated in Ying Zheng on the road to Qin. From Ying Zheng's perspective, he was also the one who could do the best among the six Confucian scholars. No matter which family's knowledge is, it must be combined with reality and transform the world with reality as the foundation.

This is what is called "We have countless ways to explain the world, but the most important thing is to transform the world."

Being able to do things, know literacy, has a little force that can protect oneself, and the most important thing is that it has no foundation in Qin.

Such a person is exactly what Ying Zheng needs, so he can show some patience to face Qi Ziyuan.

Qi Ziyuan said: "Your Highness has been busy with the farming association recently. We Confucian scholars are not aware of the farming affairs, so we failed to help you. So we lived in a guest house, study and cultivate ourselves every day, and work diligently."

lie.

Ying Zheng smiled.

All the lives of Confucian scholars are arranged by Mengyan. During the day, the morning meal is only eaten at midnight, lunch is eaten in the evening, and evening food is eaten in the Nülu.

The arranged guest house is just a place for them to store luggage and temporarily rest.

This lifestyle, let alone "reading and cultivating oneself, working diligently", is afraid that it is even time to come out and take a look at the choreographed chores!

Ying Zheng thought, but did not expose Qi Ziyuan, but listened quietly.

"But since we arrived in Xianyang last year, we frequently encountered some gangsters who knew our identities and regularly competed with us. At first, we could still resist one or two, but after we came to Qin for a long time, we were very tired and could not adapt to the water and soil of Qin, so we gradually couldn't resist."

"We Confucian scholars were unwilling to make more conspiracy with such bandits who were hiding their bodies. They just reported to the official temple to know that Qin Fa was the leader of the world's strictness. Qin officials acted very quickly... But whenever we reported to the official, the bandits disappeared immediately. When the Qin officials left, they immediately appeared, used heavy hands and attacked us... If we just attacked us, it was not a big deal, but what was this behavior that would teach others to see? This was clearly a provocation of the dignity of His Royal Highness the Prince! Provoking the majesty of Qin Fa!"

Qi Ziyuan said, with a bit of righteousness on his face: "Your Highness also asks you to send some guards to hide in the secret, defend us, and capture the gang of bandits to correct the order of Xianyang and to show the majesty of Qin's law!"

He said, his eyes shifting to Mo Zhe'an's face, trying to see the annoying Mo Zhe's reaction.

Mozhe was fighting with the energetic little boy in his arms for the right to use his nostrils, and Qi Ziyuan was unable to see any available information on his face.

Not the Mozhe?

Qi Ziyuan lowered his head and waited for Ying Zheng to speak.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "This incident is indeed a provocation to me, and even more a contempt for Qin Fa. Why didn't Ziyuan report it to me earlier?"

"This..." Qi Ziyuan hesitated slightly: "At first, we wanted to capture the bandits independently, and then report to His Highness..."

Ying Zheng wanted to laugh a little: "Don't be so careless in the future!"

"You know, you and the six people are all my confidants. If you have any mistakes, I will be uneasy!" Ying Zheng endured the disgust and said such lies to win over Qi Ziyuan.

Qi Ziyuan knew that Ying Zheng was talking nonsense, but this did not prevent him from being proud of himself - Ying Zheng was using the throne of the crown prince of a country to win over himself with such clumsy words!

While proud, I was also a little relieved.

After being ignored for so long, it turns out that it is not because I am not qualified to be attracted, but because this child does not know how to change how to win over people!

He thought this way, bowed his waist deeply and lowered his head: "I thank you for your appreciation. I hope to repay the prince's appreciation with this body and destiny!"

"Get up quickly!" Ying Zheng walked off the master's seat, came to Qi Ziyuan, and pulled him up: "Why should Ziyuan be so polite?"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished!" Qi Ziyuan said, and stood up: "Your Highness the Crown Prince must know that etiquette is the foundation of the country, the foundation of the king, and the reason why the crown prince is honored to scholars and common people!"

Ying Zheng's eyes twitched.

I haven't met such a person for a long time.

In Ying Zheng's concept, his current foundation is "blood relationship", which is based on the sacredness and honor brought from the blood of the Qin regime.

Although this kind of dignity is a deceptive and has extremely strong instability, Ying Zheng has always wanted to change it, but Ying Zheng does not deny its existence and the benefits it can bring to himself.

But "ritual"...

That's a joke!

Basically speaking, etiquette is actually just a simple "law".

However, this kind of "law" is not against the superiors and not against the inferiors, and guarantees rights and interests without adding too many responsibilities, which is quite simple.

This kind of "law" that is basically not binding, the nobles of Qin were denied their feelings when they looked at it for a while, let alone abide by it. As for the nonsense that it is the foundation of the country and the foundation of the body...

"Ziyuan taught me a lesson." Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "The most urgent task is to find a way to arrest the bandits who had malicious intentions towards Ziyuan. I wonder if Ziyuan has any good solutions?"

Qi Ziyuan nodded: "Of course there is."

Mo Zhean, who was holding the child, looked at Qi Ziyuan with a sneer, and at the same time, he felt puzzled: Didn’t Juzi just send someone to beat these Confucian sticks twice?

...

Shi hugged her mother's arm, cried for a while, took out a piece of jerky meat and handed it to her: "Mom, this is something you secretly keep for you, you can eat it."

They are both mother and son, and they haven't seen each other for more than ten days.

Shi is the son of the Duo Tai who died in the rushing competition among the farmers' associations.

After the death of Tongwei, Shi's mother was transferred to someone else by Prince Zheng, while Shi was paid for someone to raise by Prince Zheng himself.

Compared to ordinary children, it is unfortunate that he lost his father and his mother at a young age.

But his luck is that he was raised by the prince Zheng himself.

So I had three meals a day, with meat. Although the clothes were not very gorgeous, they could be worn comfortably and the shoes became customized.

It’s just that I need to learn to write every day, which is a bit painful.

In addition, what I am most unaccustomed to is not seeing my mother and the time set by the teachers in the official office is strictly observed.

The mother and son talked for a while, and a child younger than him ran out and shouted: "Qin Shi, hurry up and go back to write. Tomorrow morning, the teacher will check the twenty new words taught today!"

Shi immediately realized that he reluctantly let go of his mother's arm: "Mom, I'm going to write... You're going to see me tomorrow!"

The mother reluctantly watched her son leave.
