Li Mansion.
In a house that is ten meters long and five meters wide, there is no unnecessary debris except tables and cushions.
Because Li Si has many children, this hall is specially used for meals.
There is a long table placed on the main seat of the hall.
There are roast rabbit, green vegetables and other food on the long table. There are six dishes in total.
After the long case, Li Si and Cai Yan were sitting on their knees, eating together.
Under the main seat, there are two rows of tables, one on the left and one on the right, with a total of four on each side.
There is a bowl of corn, a meat dish and a vegetarian dish on each table.
Behind eight tables, children, boys and girls, were sitting. They were all Li Si's children.
The elders of the eight children eat by themselves, while the younger ones are assisted by servants. The hall is very lively.
"You, do you really want to join the army?"
Li Si chewed food and turned his head to ask his eldest son Li You, who was sitting at the head of the table on the right.
Li You's appearance only inherited half of Li Si's rigidity, and this half of the rigidity should be called perseverance.
The resolute Li You put down the cutlery in his hands and faced Li Si to show respect for his father.
"Yes, Father, you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and expand your territory."
"Why do you think so? You can still make achievements in the court." Li Si asked seriously.
The Qin Dynasty governed the country by law, and the Qin Dynasty itself had a martial ethos.
Combining the two, Legalist disciples in the Qin Dynasty have been in a perennial shortage.
As long as you study the law, you will basically have a promising future in the Qin Dynasty.
As the current leader of Legalism, Li Si has made some achievements in studying the Fa with him over the years.
As long as he continues, Li You's future will be extremely bright.
He couldn't figure out why his eldest son was going to join the army despite being so good.
Li You is fourteen years old this year and still has a youthful spirit.
He looked angry and even waved his hands to show his anger.
"Zhao Ling, Tu Shi, Ren Qi and their group of people treat us with disdain every time they meet. They say that 'people who talk about people wander around and underestimate the king'. I can't stand their humiliation. I want to join the army and tell They and I, Li You, are people who can bravely kill the enemy."
The people Li You mentioned are all descendants of military commanders in the Qin court.
"Your Majesty can rule the world, can it only rely on generals to attack cities and plunder territories? When you go to the battlefield, your mother will be worried and worried about your safety, and she still doesn't know whether you can become a general. Why don't you follow your father's practice and come? The daily achievements will definitely be higher than those of those kids."
"But even if I achieve the position of my father, Wang Ling and Tu Shi, they will still look down upon me. As long as I leave the mansion, no matter where I am, they will always be more respected than us. I don't want to be like this." You said dullly.
The younger brothers and sisters in the hall were eating their meals, with their eyes wide open, curiously watching the conversation between their eldest brother and their father, although most of them could not understand it.
"I don't allow you to join the army." Cai Yan was displeased and said, "Can you become famous if you join the army? The parents of the people you mentioned were military generals, and they have been exposed to the art of war since they were young, just like you have been reading the "Dharma Sutra" since you were a child. "
"Does my mother also think that I am inferior to them?"
Because of his upbringing, Li You would not shout loudly at Li Si or Cai Yan.
But his clenched fists already showed his anger.
"Not so."
Li Si personally took a rabbit leg, stepped down from the throne and put it into Li You's bowl. He had high hopes for his eldest son and paid great attention to his teaching methods.
"Father, I want rabbit legs too."
"I want too."
"Mom~"
Seeing this, Cai Yan also stepped down from the throne to appease the greedy little guys.
Li Si sat next to Li You and said seriously: "Have you seen the children of the Meng family and the Wang family?"
"I've seen it before." Li You clenched his fists tighter. "They didn't even want to say a word to us. Their eyes were in the sky, and I really wanted to rush up and beat them up."
Ahem~!
You may not be able to beat it.
Li Si choked twice and continued: "Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Meng Tian and others from the Meng family, Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son from the Wang family are all generals who have been fighting on the battlefield. The children of the Meng and Wang families have been killed since they were young. Teach you knowledge about sieges, field battles, ambushes, etc. But my father has never been on the battlefield. What he teaches you is why our Qin State wants to reduce the death penalty and increase the number of prison sentences. They and you each have their own strengths. If you were born in Mongolia, Wang Liang The family must be stronger than them."
"My father also thinks that I am not as good as them." Li You raised his neck, his face full of dissatisfaction and stubbornness.
It's all for nothing...
Li Si had a headache.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran into the hall, bowed to Li Si and said, "Master, there is someone from Tingwei Mansion."
"Call him in."
"only."
After a while, a small official wearing the official uniform of Tingwei Mansion ran in.
"Sir Tingwei, four people died on the balcony."
Qin Fa's murder was a serious crime, and he was basically punished by death.
"Prepare the car."
Li Si's face turned solemn. Hearing this, he knew that there must be something fishy about this matter without even thinking about it.
Four people died, still on the balcony.
Those who enter the balcony are usually nobles. The balcony is an official place. Killing the nobles on the balcony is adding to the crime.
In this case, you can just drag him into the Tingwei Mansion and be sentenced to death. Why do you come to find me?
How sensitive must be the identity of the murderer for Tingwei Mansion to invite me back.
Balcony, terrace.
The steward of the building almost died last night. The steward of the building has a close relationship with Lord Chang'an. If Lord Chang'an's identity is not simple...
"Is Chang'an Jun at the scene?" Li Si asked immediately.
"This incident happened because of Lord Chang'an." the clerk replied.
Sure enough, since it is related to Chang'an Jun...
"Master, the car is ready." The servant reported.
"There's no rush, we'll wait outside."
The clerk was stunned.
Four people died on the balcony. Isn't this urgent? When Mr. Ting Wei Zheng urged me to come, I was almost dying of anxiety.
"Come with me and tell me everything you know."
"only."
Li Si led the clerk out of the hall and to the side room.
At this time, the culprit who made Li Si not rush to hear the case did not even go to Tingwei's mansion.
Ying Chengqiao was humming a ditty leisurely on Xianyang Street.
His cheerful appearance was in great contrast to the numb people in gray and black clothes around him.
He walked all the way back to Chang'an Jun's Mansion, opened the door, and was about to discuss countermeasures with the guests.
A beautiful maid came up to her, pointed to a house and said: "Your Majesty, we have guests."
"Bending less than 90 degrees, there are no rules or regulations, are you looking for a beating?"
Ying Chengyu looked at the maid's chest, and without asking who the guest was, he talked about the rules first.
"Young Master is all rosy and pink. When I smell it, I just came back from the balcony. I won't let you see it! Humph!"
The maid raised her chin and held her chest, humming.
“Do not pick wild flowers for domestic flowers.”
"That's right, you are partial."
"I still want to take a peek, huh!"
The other maids also gathered around, talking all over the place.
When there are no guests, Ying Chengyu is surrounded by maids and complains, which is normal in Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
"Your Majesty." The drunkard appeared out of nowhere, looking sober.
"It's rare that I'm not drunk today. Is there no wine in the house?" Ying Chengyu said with a smile.
The drunkard's eyes, hazy with constant drunkenness, contained murderous intent, and he whispered to the house that the maid pointed to just now: "A visitor from Yongdi, do you want to kill him?"
