This first emperor is awesome

But seeing Xiao He give him a wink, he immediately swallowed his suspicions.

Based on what he knew about Xiao He, he probably wouldn't do this, but since he did this, there must be his own reasons.

"Your Majesty, although Liu Ji has a deep bond of brotherhood with my minister, but I dare not abolish the Duke for personal reasons."

"Although Liu Ji is a descendant of Wei Guo's doctor, his family has been lonely for many years and has not been well-trained."

"Besides, he is fond of wine and sex, moody and unpredictable, so it is really difficult to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and he is not suitable for great use."

Xiao He did not lie, Liu Ji indeed possessed all these shortcomings.

He didn't mention Liu Ji's merits at all.

Because all of Liu Ji's advantages will not make His Majesty the First Emperor look at him high, and it may even lead to death.

"Well, that's it."

Ying Zheng revealed a look of contemplation, and said calmly.

When Xiao He heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"But since you're here, it's okay to see you!"

Ying Zheng suddenly changed the subject.

"His Majesty"

Xiao He was a little dazed immediately, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Call Liu Ji to see me."

Ying Zheng's tone didn't mean to discuss with Xiao He at all, and he ordered directly.

"Sir, obey the order."

Xiao He smiled wryly in his heart, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, he just hoped that Liu Ji could keep his own place and ask for more blessings!

After bowing to Ying Zheng, Xiao He hurriedly left the study.

After about a while, Xiao He walked in again, but behind him was a smiling Liu Ji.

"Little official Liu Ji, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Ji tried his best to control his heart, not to let it tremble uneasy, and tried to keep calm.

"I heard that you are the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County?"

Yingzheng had some completely different feelings in his heart. People like Liu Ji, Xiao He, and Cao Shen had never had the slightest intersection with their lives.

But because he has the memory of the future, under his deliberate arrangement, all these people have entered their own life trajectory.

Be it traitors or rebels!

For Ying Zheng, it was just something that never happened.

Besides, even if it really happened, it would be after his death.

If you don't die, who dares to speak against you?

As the saying goes, make the best use of things and make the best use of people.

In my own eyes, there are only two types of people in all living beings, talented and useless.

Talented people can better serve the country and do things for themselves.

Even if a person without talent is loyal, what is the use in the country?

Accepting the memory of future generations for thousands of years, Ying Zheng knew where the limitations of the empire were.

He wants to change all this, but reform will not be easy.

If you insist on going your own way, it is not impossible to reform.

It's just that the price paid is a bit high.

As a king, he doesn't care about the means, but only cares about whether the end is the result he wants.

What he has is patience, he boils the frog in warm water, and he is not in a hurry.

If you want to break the privileges of the powerful and powerful for thousands of years, you will definitely suffer a huge backlash and cause riots in the empire.

Liu Ji, Cao Can, Xiao He and other grassroots people with real talents and learning are exactly the upstarts I need right now.

Support a group of upstarts and use them to suppress the old ones. When the time is right, and then implement the New Deal, it will be a matter of course.

Yingzheng's eyes shone brightly. In the future, Daqin will only have one family that will never be corrupted, and that is the royal family.

All living beings are just embellishments.

What a family of iron, a dynasty of flowing water?

Great Qin will be immortal forever!

Xiao He, Liu Ji, and Cao Shen fell into deep thought when they saw the fierce look in His Majesty's eyes.

I was quite disturbed, wondering what His Majesty was thinking?

After waiting for Yingzheng to come to his senses, Liu Jifang dared to say something, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the little official is indeed the head of the pavilion in Surabaya."

"I intend to promote new talents for the empire, but I don't know what talent you have?"

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Ji with interest and asked.

Forehead!

Ying Zheng's words were like bringing [-] crit points with him, making Liu Ji stunned in place.

What talent do you have?

This question really stopped Liu Ji. After thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't figure out what skills he has.

Does drinking count?

Does flirting count?

Is it bold?

Is the interpersonal relationship counted?

Everything he was good at appeared in Liu Ji's mind one by one, and finally he opened his mouth, but couldn't come out with a word for a long time.

It is not as good as Xiao He, and Wu is not as good as Fan Kui.

Liu Ji is still very self-aware, but he is very unwilling to give up the opportunity at his fingertips like this.

He suffered countless hardships since he was a child, he didn't want to spend his whole life like this, he wanted to stand out and become a master.

Suddenly Liu Ji had a flash of inspiration, he has so many brothers and friends, why?

He has neither money nor power.

But they all believed in themselves, why?

"Your Majesty, a petty official is not as good as Xiao He, and Wu is not as good as Fan Kuai, but the petty official has a skill that none of them have."

"The little official has a wide range of friends, is good at dancing with long sleeves, and is quick-witted. If he can serve the empire as an envoy, it will surely make all nations respect the empire."

Liu Ji didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, and he said confidently.

"Hahaha!"

Ying Zheng laughed out loud.

For Liu Ji, in fact, he already has plans in mind, and he will inevitably encounter resistance when reforming, and people's hearts will fluctuate.

This guy does have the ability to win people's hearts, and it should be very easy to use.

So what if you are ambitious?

I will not give him any chance at all. To do such a thing is not only thankless, but also has no real power. It is just a false job.

But the effect is very good, as long as it is used well, one person can be a thousand soldiers.

This Liu Ji is like a pair of black plaster, where the empire feels uncomfortable, he will stick him there, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's smile became even stronger.

The eyes looking at Liu Ji became even hotter.

Such talents are not easy to find, and if you look through the history books, you can't find a few.

Great Qin has no shortage of martial talents, but a universal plaster like Liu Ji is something that can only be met but cannot be sought after!

Liu Ji was a little hairy from being stared at by His Majesty, did he say something wrong?

"Do you want to go to Xianyang?"

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Ji who looked nervous, and smiled.

To Xianyang?

Liu Ji's pupils dilated suddenly, and he couldn't believe it.

But soon he was crying and bowed to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty appreciates it. Even if Liu Ji is smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to repay His Majesty's grace."

"Your family, I will arrange for them to enter Xianyang with Cao Shen's family."

"I have to put the ugly words first, I have given you the opportunity, if you can't handle the errand, then you have to go back to Pei County, I don't raise waste."

Ying Zheng put away his smile and said sternly.

Go back to Pei County?

God!

Impossible, I don't want to come back to Pei County again in this life.

How can Pei County be as good as Xianyang?

The little girls there are all juicy

Nonsence!

No, there are outstanding people there, and it is a blessed place for great men to make contributions.

Liu Ji has many thoughts in his heart, and he is full of longing for a better life in Xianyang in the future.

[Chapter 1, there are four more chapters, please wait and see, don't sleep until the end!

Chapter 13 Undefeated Soldiers

Sishui County, Huaiyin County

Although Huaiyin is not the seat of Sishui County, it is an important town for water transportation and salt transportation because it is located on an important water transportation route.

Therefore, Huaiyin's business has been enduring since ancient times. The pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the straight road, red bricks and green tiles, are full of prosperity.

However, there are also a few dilapidated old houses in the outskirts of Huaiyin City. One of the old houses has a roof that has collapsed. Once it blows and rains, it will directly become a place of water.

In the old house, it is very simple, except for a dilapidated and muddy hearth, there is only a wooden table and a dark wooden table.

A middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties was sitting in front of a rotten wooden window, mending.

Beside the dark wooden table, a little boy about twelve or three years old was holding a bamboo slip that was already cracked everywhere, looking at it intently.

On the wooden case, apart from a wooden board covered with crooked characters, there is also an inkstone made of wood, with black ink in it, which has long been glued into a ball.

After a while, the boy seemed to have finished reading it, and then he took the bamboo slips and walked up to the middle-aged woman and said, "Mother, the child has memorized it."

The middle-aged woman's face was very pale, she gently put down the needle and thread in her hand, and said with a smile: "Then tell mother."

The boy handed the broken Bamboo Slips of Art of War to his mother, and then began to read aloud.

The young man recited memorization fluently, very smoothly.

The middle-aged woman smiled brighter when she heard that, and looked at her son with great relief.

But soon, the boy's recitation gradually slowed down.

The middle-aged woman's complexion became more and more ugly, and soon she coughed violently.

"Mother, the child has made a mistake, so don't be angry."

The young man's expression was flustered, like a frightened little rabbit.

Obviously, this is not the first time he has encountered this situation.
