my grandfather was qin shi huang

"...The eldest emperor, Sun Ying, is arrogant because of his favor. Without the emperor's rules, he mobilizes the army without authorization in the important area of ​​​​the capital. If he is not severely punished, I fear that the disaster of Chang Xinhou is not far away..."

"...The elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are the sharp weapons of the country. The emperor Sun Ying is domineering, driving the soldiers to shovel snow and repair houses, just like handymen and prisoners. If not punished, it may shake the morale of the army..."

"...Emperor Sun Ying used the name of disaster relief to gain fame and reputation, and to buy people's hearts, with ulterior motives..."

"...Emperor Sun Ying, under the guise of disaster relief, disturbed the place and caused public resentment..."

Countless memorials to impeach the emperor's eldest grandson once again poured into the palace like snowflakes.

The First Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and read each article with great interest. While reading, he did not forget to pick up the brush and write down one name after another on the paper lying beside him.

The paper is new. Zhao Ying had someone send it to him some time ago. It is tougher than the previous paper and can be written more smoothly. It even has a very comfortable texture to the touch.

In Zhao Ying's words, this is called rice paper.

He quite liked it.

Just like today, the list he wrote casually on it was clear and not shady, and it looked very pleasing to the eye.

After reading the memorial, the list was written on more than half a page.

It wasn't too many, but it looked like there were a full 30 people, of all kinds, almost in every yamen, especially Yushitai, which was a hardest-hit area.

The First Emperor picked it up and examined it carefully for a long time. Just as he was about to greet Hei who was standing by, he saw his youngest son walking in cautiously holding a tray.

I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart. I put the list away calmly and looked at Hu Hai who came in calmly.

"Aweng, I see you have been working hard here for most of the day, so I asked the chef to make a bowl of ginseng soup for you - try it..."

The First Emperor's eyes moved slightly, he nodded with a smile, reached out to take the ginseng soup on Hu Hai's tray, put it to his mouth and took a sip, then casually pointed to the memorial on the table.

"Come, take a look at these..."

Hu Hai glanced at the memorials on the table, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he secretly looked at the emperor's face. He could see no clues, so he felt relieved a little.

However, there was still some hesitation in the action.

"No problem—"

Probably knowing the concerns of his youngest son, the First Emperor added lightly while gently stirring the ginseng soup in the bowl with a spoon.

Although Hu Hai felt a little unsure, he still bit the bullet and read it one by one.

They are all here to impeach Zhao Ying!

"Aon..."

Hu Hai looked at the First Emperor who was still slowly drinking ginseng soup.

"Do you think these accusations about the emperor's eldest grandson are true? If true, how should we deal with it..."

Hu Hai couldn't help but be shocked. He hesitated for a moment, then considered his words.

"I think it's a bit exaggerated, but - Ying'er has no rules and mobilizes the army without authorization, which is indeed a bit reckless..."

Having said this, he secretly looked at the face of the First Emperor and then added cautiously.

"Ying'er has always been honest and kind-hearted, and he will definitely not do anything like the misfortune that happened to Marquis Chang Xin and others back then. These people are exaggerating a bit. It must be an unintentional mistake. I hope Aweng can deal with it leniently..."

Hearing this, the First Emperor couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at the young son who had already gained some wealth, showing a meaningful smile.

Then, he quietly pulled out the list from under the table and handed it to Hei beside him.

"According to this list, go check the background of these people. I suspect that they form a clique for personal gain, deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, and engage in lawlessness. Maybe there are still people who are colluding with the remnants of the Six Nations. If they don't follow the rules, just kill them directly... …”

Hu Hai was immediately frightened.

He really wanted to see who was written on that list, but the First Emperor had already given the list to Hei and didn't let him see it. He didn't dare to take the initiative to see it, so he could only sit there on pins and needles.

Fortunately, the First Emperor didn't stay too long. He looked back and saw that he was still there, not moving, and then waved his hand casually.

"No need to wait here, go and get busy..."

Hu Hai immediately felt like he was being pardoned and turned around and left the hall.

After arriving at the main hall, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he found an excuse and hurried back to his house.

Many, Li Shiqi, who has now become Hu Hai's number one confidant after Zhao Gao, was invited into his study.

"Mr. Li, those memorials are really effective - I'm worried that Your Majesty has already suspected me that I was the one secretly instigating..."

Before Li Shiqi could sit down, Hu Hai subconsciously leaned forward slightly and asked impatiently, with some unspeakable panic in his eyes.

He was a little worried that the First Emperor might have seen something, otherwise he suddenly thought of letting him read the memorials to impeach Zhao Ying, and asked him for the first time what he thought about these memorials.

And finally, the seemingly calm but murderous instructions.

All this made him a little frightened.

Hearing Hu's somewhat flustered questions, Li Shiqi smiled.

"What did your Majesty say..."

"His Majesty showed me the memorials to impeach Zhao Ying, and asked me how to deal with them if they were true..."

Listening to Hu Hai's narration, Li Shiqi glanced at this young master of Qin, whom he had always looked down upon, with some surprise. Unexpectedly, he actually knew some tricks of retreating to advance. It was really rare!

He raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Hu Hai's still somewhat ugly face, which was very meaningful.

"Do you think, sir, that our actions can really be concealed from His Majesty?"

Hu Hai:! ! ! ! ! !

He looked at Li Shiqi in disbelief.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Hu Hai's shocked expression, Li Shiqi smiled, picked up the teapot with his own hands, and filled Hu Hai a cup of tea.

"Young Master, there is no need to panic. Your Majesty is now very powerful. There are as many people in the government and the public who are willing to stick to you as crucian carp crossing the river. Your Majesty naturally knows it well. It is clear who wrote those memorials. How could Your Majesty not know that this is From the master’s instruction——”

Listening to Li Shiqi's methodical analysis, Hu Hai couldn't help but feel a little more panicked.

Therefore, Aweng knows all these little tricks he does!

Dog thief, harm me——

He almost jumped up and fell into a rage.

"But so what - do you think His Majesty will be angry or blame you for this?"

Li Shiqi smiled, picked up the tea calmly and took a sip.

Hu Hai couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"Isn't it?"

"Of course, not only won't it, but maybe I will appreciate it more..."

Li Shiqi put down his teacup and looked at Hu Hai seriously.

"Young Master, I think that if Your Majesty had to choose a prince among several young princes, you would think that he would choose a prince who is scheming, has a lot of power, and knows how to use the resources in his hands to eliminate dissidents, clear obstacles, and benefit himself. Or will he choose a young man with a simple mind who only begs for mercy and begs for favors in front of him..."

Hu Hai: ...

I always feel like you are protecting me!

However, at this time, he naturally did not care to pursue these matters. His heart moved, and he was a little unsure.

"Could it be the former..."

Li Shiqi couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing.

"Of course! Kindness does not lead the army, and benevolence does not govern. How can a prince of a country defend such a huge empire without some means? Don't worry, if you don't follow the line, everything is still within the rules, Your Majesty There won't be any blame there - if you can really defeat the emperor's eldest grandson, His Majesty may be very pleased, and the position of crown prince will not be suspended until now..."

Hu Hai couldn't help but think deeply.

"But I'm worried about that list..."

After pondering for a long time, Hu Hai felt a little uneasy.

Li Shiqi glanced at Hu Hai, who was still a little worried, and tapped the table gently.

"Young Master, mercy does not control the army. Sometimes, some sacrifices are still necessary - what does a few insignificant lives mean? I do hope that your Majesty can kill more..."

Hu Hai suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Shiqi, who was calm and composed across from him, his eyes flashing and he remained silent.

In the afternoon of that day, more than twenty officials in the DPRK were killed for dereliction of duty and corruption, and two more were executed for the crime of colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms with the intention of subverting. The direct bloodline of the Zhao royal family living in Xianyang, except for Except for Zhao Xie, who was not at home, he was almost swept away.

For a time, heads of people were billowing in Xianyang City, and the ground that had just fallen under heavy snow was stained red with blood.

……

Outside Xianyang City.

Chen Yu Zhanger, who had changed into ordinary people's coarse linen clothes and a heavy bullshit coat, pretended to be an ordinary businessman, drove a dilapidated ox cart and left Xianyang leisurely.

The oxcart looks no different from that of ordinary merchants. They are filled with ordinary cloth and some hay to serve the animals.

After walking dozens of miles out of Xianyang and arriving at a deserted mountain col, the ox cart slowly stopped.

When they jumped off the bullock cart, the pile of hay they were sitting on moved, and a pale middle-aged man crawled out of it.

If someone from the government is here, they will definitely be able to identify this person. He is Zhao Xie, a remnant of the Zhao royal family that the government is currently tracing.

Zhao Xie looked back at the head of Xianyang City, which had become almost invisible, and suddenly burst into tears.

There were almost tears of blood in his eyes.

"Zhao Zheng, you and I swear to be incompatible!"

Just because he was confused for a moment, he actually joined in the fun and followed the trend, and imitated others, and asked the two officials he had paid a huge price to bribe to impeach the prosperous emperor's eldest grandson. Unexpectedly, he paid such a heavy price.

Except for himself, his entire family was slaughtered, including his infant son.

Thinking of this, he felt like his heart was being twisted and his eyes were split open.

"Young Master, it is useless to be sad. The Qin Dynasty is cruel. If the First Emperor does not practice benevolent government, he will be punished. Please take care of your health for the future..."

Zhao Xie gritted his teeth, nodded with all his strength, and gave Chen Yu a deep salute.

"Everything depends on these two gentlemen! If there is a day, I will be rewarded..."

……

Zhao Ying didn't know about the disturbing stories behind them, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

Nothing else, just stick to your heart.

What's more, this world is the world of one's own family, and the people in this world are also the people of one's own family. Do you want to watch them freeze to death or starve to death, or if they can no longer survive, join others in starting their own rebellion?

Fortunately, the heavy snow lasted for three days and then stopped.

Due to the court's timely response to disasters, some philanthropic families also began to learn from Zhao Ying's approach and began to open porridge sheds and send people to relieve the victims.

Wang Nan, the daughter-in-law of Tongwuhou Mansion, even gathered a group of best friends to show up and organize disaster relief with Zhao Ying.

Therefore, although the heavy snowfall was heavy, it did not cause any serious damage near Xianyang.

This made Zhao Ying secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Zhao Ying ignored the attacks from behind, this all-out disaster relief activity was not completely fruitless.

First of all, the two Mo family disciples, Qin Hetian, and the Mohist disciples in the military camp, looked at themselves differently. Not only did their eyes change, but they also became much more serious and active in doing things.

In particular, Chu Mo Ju Zi Tian Qi, who was still a little knotty in his heart, completely let go of his thoughts. Not only did he go to the Yamen in person to sit in charge, but he also began to come forward in person, calling on the Mo family apprentices from all over the world to follow the instructions of His Highness the Emperor Changsun and rush to various places to do a good job in the Qin Dynasty. Storyteller!

Chunyu Yue also lost his previous reserve, followed in Tian Jie's footsteps, and settled in Jiangshan Shejisi, officially took the post of Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and called on Confucian students from all over the world to go to various places to preach the policies of the Qin Dynasty.

The reputation of Ying, the eldest son of the Qin Emperor, as a benevolent and loving person was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Xianyang, and began to gradually expand outward as Mohist and Confucian apprentices traveled to various places.

Of course, these were things that he didn’t know.

What he didn't expect was that even the most difficult woman in the house, the arrogant girl Li Shu, who looked like an iceberg beauty and kept others away when she saw him, looked at him much more friendly recently.

However, this made him lose a lot of fun.

If you do this, it's boring for me to tease you -

It is worth mentioning that Huang Shigong, who lived in his house, said goodbye and left as soon as the heavy snow stopped. His young female apprentice Xu Negi stayed behind for unknown reasons.

Suddenly, he became a guest in his house.

Zhao Ying thinks it’s okay.

After all, in this era, the trend of divination is really popular. With such a well-known goddess stick as her platform, she really has a lot of room for manipulation in many things.

Seeing that everything was on track, Zhao Ying couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Especially when the news about the scandal in Hedong County came back, he completely let go of his thoughts.

The batch of grain and grass he asked Sao to buy played a big role in this heavy snow.

Countless people in Hedong were saved as a result.

He breathed a sigh of relief. These days, the officials responsible for recruiting the Fang family's warlocks couldn't help but secretly breath a sigh of relief.

Ouch, ancestors, you are finally free.

In just a few days, Lieutenant Xianyang personally came forward and collected and arrested nearly 500 warlocks.

If you don't have time to talk to me anymore, not to mention that the yamen's prison will be full of people, and even the treasury will be almost exhausted...
