Most of the affairs of the court of the Qin Dynasty are still waters running deep. On the surface, they may see singing and dancing, but upon closer inspection, one or two sounds of fighting can be heard.As the year approached, all the princely and noble families scattered in various fiefdoms of the Qin State sent letters and tributes to Xianyang. During the war, everyone was very honest, and they were not at all frivolous. Food, gold, jade, and silk were all sold in real hard currency.It seems that all the nobles are very clear that the way to serve the emperor is to do what he likes.

But, not every prince in the fief is so forthright. After all, the state of Qin is vast, and there are always some princes among them who are relatively poor.

The way they show their loyalty is more down-to-earth. For example, when they are old, they go to Xianyang to talk to the King of Qin in person, drink some sake and chat about the past. In short, they must show their loyalty and innocence in front of the King of Qin.

This group of people is also very large, for example, Lord Changping of Qin State whom Yu Zishi was ordered to greet this time.

For seven days in a row, Yu Zishi received the news every time: Mr. Changping is on his way to hurry and will arrive in Xianyang in the same day.

Then Mr. Changping rode his horse on the road leading to Xianyang for seven days at the age of 50.

Given that Xianyang has no city walls and only one city gate, Yu Zishi waited outside the city gate while chatting with the city guards for seven days. He almost forgot that he was also an important official, not a gate child.

In view of the fact that this loyal and righteous veteran might have lost his way on the road leading to Xianyang, Yu Zishi brought Hu Hai out on the eighth day, and the two sat at a small stall not far from the city gate. , ordered two bowls of tofu lace while eating and waiting.

It is not surprising that Hu Hai has never met Lord Changping, because this veteran of the three dynasties has not set foot in Xianyang for many years.

After the two of them finished eating the tofu flower, they sat in the sun for a while and basked in the winter sun, and then Yu Zishi, who was really bored, told Hu Hai about Mr. Changping's deeds.

"Jun Changping was originally named Xiong. His father was Xiong Yuan, the prince of Chu State, and his mother was the princess of Qin State. After Qin and Chu became hostile, his father fled back to Chu State, and he stayed in Qin State with his mother. At the age of 23, he entered the political arena of the Great Qin Dynasty, and at the age of 26, together with Prime Minister Lu Buwei, he assisted the young King Qin who succeeded to the throne." Yu Zishi looked at Hu Hai and explained: "That is your father, Your Majesty."

"At the age of 26, he became the prime minister of a country and assisted the emperor?" Hu Hai was a little surprised. There are many young descendants of the prime ministers of the Qin state, but most of them have assumed a false name to show their honor, but almost none of them actually hold power. no.He is only 26 years old, and he is still the son of Chu State. It is shocking that Mr. Changping can do that.

Yu Zishi smiled softly, "Not only that! If you just look at the resume, all the courtiers above the Daqin Dynasty are nothing to him. He was promoted to the royal official shortly after serving the country. One of the three princes and Xiangbang Lu Buwei were listed in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the real power was in the hands of the people. Later, Lai Ai rebelled against the country, and he personally led the army to put down the rebellion. A year later, Lu Buwei was dismissed, and Changping Lord Xiong Qi took his place as the Daqin Xiangbang is responsible for supervising the manufacture of Daqin weapons and sabers." Yu Zishi smiled, "Xiong Qi has been in charge of Daqin Chaotang for nearly 30 years, and almost no one can match him in his heyday."

"Then why did he leave Xianyang later?"

"Please let me go out of Beijing and go to Yingchen to guard the border of Daqin." Yu Zishi beckoned to the job at the small stall, "Two more bean curds!" He looked back at Hu Hai, "Then we are here waiting for this Sanchao Old minister."

"Sounds like a powerful minister."

After hearing Hu Hai's words, Yu Zishi paused for a moment with his hand scooping up the bean curd, and said with a smile, "If you've met him, you'll know, Mr. Changping, he's good at tricks, and he's a little... well, not limited time." Yu Zishi thought of a more neutral word and described it objectively.

Hu Hai frowned slightly, not limited to time?He looked at Yu Zishi's lukewarm manner scooping up the bean curd, and in the end he didn't ask further. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the city gate, "Speaking of which, can they reach Xianyang today?"

Yu Zishi took out the letter from his sleeve and slapped it on the case, "If it's still the same as it was seven days ago, you can arrive in Xianyang in a few days." Yu Zishi shook his head, "It's unbelievable that this group of people traveled ten miles for seven days."

"Maybe... I met bandits and thieves, and the road was delayed."

Yu Zishi took a deep look at Hu Hai, and sighed in his heart, Your Highness, you are still too young and naive.Just as he was about to say something, a man dressed as a servant ran over from a distance, "My lord!"

"What's wrong? They were really robbed?" Yu Zishi asked calmly.

The attendant said: "No, my lord, Lord Changping has arrived."

After hearing this, Yu Zishi suddenly raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pushed the bowl of tofu curd in front of him, and stood up with a flick of his sleeves, "Let's go and have a look."

Yu Zishi and Hu Hai walked out of the city gate. When they raised their eyes, they saw flags fluttering in the distance. A white horse was riding in front of the mighty procession. On it sat a thin old man with a high crown and wide sleeves. It's just a line.Indeed, as Zheng Bin said, this person is indeed very recognizable. The moment he came towards him, Yu Zishi felt a sense of obscenity rushing towards him.

Zheng Bin gave Yu Zishi detailed information on Xiong Qi, including other powerful things, but there is one item that Yu Zishi left a deep impression on.Mr. Changping, he likes men, and he likes to raise children in his family, and countless young children have been molested to death.

Seeing Xiong Qi get down from the horse, Yu Zishi went forward to meet him, "See Mr. Changping, my humble minister Zhao Gao, the order of the Daqin CRRC and the supervisor of Fuxi, and according to the king's order, we are here to welcome Mr. Changping."

Xiong Qi stretched out his hands to help Yu Zishi up, his eyes even disappeared when he smiled, "Something happened on the way and I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay." Yu Zishi replied with a smile, "Mr. Changping, please, the post house has been arranged. Mr. Changping has been exhausted all the way. I will lead you there first. After a short rest, I will be able to see His Majesty the King of Qin tomorrow." He didn't want to know what happened on the road to delay him, he felt disgusted even to ask.

"Okay, okay." Changping Jun said and followed Yu Zishi to the city, "Then I will trouble you!"

"My lord, you are welcome. If you are not used to eating and lodging, please let me know. I will make other arrangements for you." Yu Zishi smiled respectfully and gently, and the attendants behind him immediately stepped forward to help Mr. Changping. He got on his horse and led the attendants brought by Mr. Changping to dismount and walk into the city.

Xiong Qi followed Yu Zishi and walked leisurely and slowly. When he entered the city, he looked up at the inscription hanging high on the city gate.He touched his chin in a good mood at the moment, how many years has he not been back?Why do you find the word "Xianyang" slightly dazzling at first glance?

Changping Lord Xiong Qi immediately looked around, planning to revisit the old place to pick up old emotions, when he raised his eyes, he saw the black-clothed boy following Yu Zishi not far behind.At that moment, his originally small eyes were tightly narrowed for an instant. The young man with a straight back had an indifferent face, and his white neck was gracefully curved. At first glance, he had a superior appearance that he hadn't seen in many years.

Xiong Qi took a deep look at Yu Zishi immediately, thinking that the young people of today would know how to behave, thinking of him, he squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Hai again.

Hu Hai noticed the gaze, paused for a moment and looked back at Xiong Qi, and when he saw the latter's undisguised naked eyes, he subconsciously frowned slightly.Then he retracted his gaze, and there was a moment of doubt and incomprehension in his eyes.

Xiong Qi nodded slightly with more satisfaction when he saw the front face. Although he was a little older, his qualifications were indeed rare. It seemed that this minister named Zhao Gao really put his mind to it.

In fact, what Yu Zishi, who was walking in the front, was thinking about: After sending the person to the post house, should he go to report to King Qin Yingzheng first, or should he go to Xu Funa to inquire about Huyou first?Because King Qin's decree was too sudden, and Lord Changping Xiong Qi dragged him for several days, he still didn't have time to inquire about Xu Fu's news.He was really worried, and he didn't know if that kid Xu Fu could fool around, thinking of his unreliable appearance, Yu Zishi felt bad.

Yu Zishi, who was a little distracted, didn't notice a small thing. He forgot to introduce Hu Hai to Mr. Changping. It was because he was too close to Hu Hai. On weekdays, Hu Hai didn't put on airs of a prince of the royal family. He just forgot Hu Hai's identity, and he didn't expect to introduce Hu Hai and Xiong Qi to get to know each other.

After sending Xiong Qi to the post house, Yu Zishi went to see the place where Xiong Qi and his attendants lived for safety, checked and changed a few small details, which wasted some time.When he regained his senses, Hu Hai turned around and found that he was gone.He looked around but couldn't find anyone, turned his head to look at one of his attendants and asked, "Where is your highness, young master?"

The attendant just followed Yu Zishi and didn't pay attention to other things, he said awkwardly: "Yes, should I go back first?"

"He went back alone?" Yu Zishi frowned.

"Perhaps His Royal Highness returned to the palace first because he was bored?" The attendant was also a little uncertain.

"Have I been doing this for so long?" Yu Zishi was a little surprised. In the past, no matter what the situation was, Hu Hai stayed by his side quietly. It was true that he didn't have any sense of existence, but he could always see him when he turned around. He was a little uncomfortable without looking at anyone.

The attendant asked: "My lord, do you want to find His Royal Highness the young master?"

"Forget it." Yu Zishi thought for a while and said, "If he feels bored, let him go back first. It's okay to leave. By the way, is there someone waiting at the door?"

The attendant nodded, "Yes, sir, don't worry, if His Highness really leaves, the attendant at the door will follow and nothing will happen."

"That's good." Yu Zishi turned around and looked at the room that hadn't been inspected. After a while, he suddenly turned to look at the guard, "Let someone check it first. You can find the waiter who went to pick up Mr. Changping two days ago to come and see me."

"Yes." The guard said and stepped back to find someone.

After a while, the waiter arrived, Yu Zishi pulled him to a corner, lowered his voice and asked his eyes slightly coldly: "What happened on the road, why did you arrive so late?"

"My lord, it's just as you expected." The waiter looked at Yu Zishi, and under Yu Zishi's gaze, he shook his head slightly.

The sharpness in Yu Zishi's eyes flashed, "I remember that I cleared the road beforehand on the way I asked you to go."

"Mr. Changping turned back halfway." The waiter frowned and looked at Yu Zishi, "They are the sons of a pair of farmers, twins."

Yu Zishi was silent for a moment, and asked, "How old are you?"

"Eleven." The waiter's eyes showed a trace of unbearable, "Fortunately, no one was killed."

I don't know how long it took before Yu Zishi said softly, "Bring some money over there, and comfort him well."

"My lord," the waiter saw that Yu Zishi turned to leave, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to report this matter to His Majesty? If someone else spreads it first, I'm afraid it will implicate your lord!"

"No need." Yu Zishi whispered to the attendant: "Go down, it's fine."

The attendant was still worried, hesitant to speak as if he didn't know how to persuade Yu Zishi, and finally bowed and retreated.

It wasn't until the man retreated and disappeared from Yu Zishi's sight that Yu Zishi finally sighed softly: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty probably knew it earlier than you and I."

……

Hu Hai didn't actually move, he followed Yu Zishi all the time, watched Yu Zishi walk into the room, he stood outside the room and waited for a while, when suddenly a respectful waiter came up to him.

"Young master, Mr. Changping said please sit in the side room first." The waiter looked at Hu Hai with a smile on his face, it was a completely unfamiliar face.

Hu Hai, who had been called "little son" in the Qin Palace for more than ten years, frowned slightly after hearing what the waiter said, "Mr. Changping is looking for me?"

"Isn't it? Mr. Changping sees that the young master is waiting here alone, so why don't you sit in the side room for a while, and when the business here is over, Mr. Changping will come to look for the young master." The waiter is also a rich man. Yes, speak respectfully and politely, follow the etiquette and generosity, and can't find the slightest fault.

After hearing these words that sound normal, Hu Hai raised his head and looked around, and happened to see Xiong Qi sitting in the corner nodding to himself.His brows tightened instantly, "What does Mr. Changping want from me?"

"Of course I have something to say to the young master." The waiter smiled very gently, full of deep meaning.

"Tell me something?" Hu Hai turned his head and looked at Xiong Qi again. The latter was talking to Yi Cheng, but he turned his head and smiled at Hu Hai, and then turned back to continue talking with Yi Cheng.Hu Hai looked at Xiong Qi like that, as if he really had something to say to himself, he thought for a moment and looked up at the room in front of him, Yu Zishi hadn't come out of it yet, it seemed that it wouldn't be over for a while.

After a long while, he turned his head and asked the respectful waiter, "Let Mr. Changping come over and talk directly here."

"Young master." The waiter hurriedly shook his head and said, "At the foot of Wangcheng, Mr. Pingyuan has some things to say, so please go to the side room and wait for a while, and talk about it privately."

Can't explain it?A dark color flashed across Hu Hai's eyes, he turned his head and glanced at the direction of Yu Zishi's room, frowned for a while and asked the waiter, "How long will it take?"

"Soon, young master, don't worry! Mr. Changping will go to find young master as soon as the matter here is over, and won't keep him waiting." The waiter looked at the direction Hu Hai was staring at the door, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master. Lord Zhao, Mr. Changping will greet you, young master, please rest assured and follow me to the concubine."

Hu Hai hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Please!" The waiter's eyes lit up, he hurriedly smiled and beckoned Hu Hai to go to the side room.

Hu Hai glanced at Yu Zishi's direction for the last time, his eyes sank slightly, then he turned around and followed the waiter to the side room.

He had just turned the corner of the street when Yu Zishi came out of the room. He patted his hands lightly, looked around, then turned his head and said to the attendant beside him: "This room is a bit cold, change to another room and add more money." a stove."

"Yes."

... When the matter at the posthouse here was almost handled, Yu Zishi finally planned to leave and go back to report to the King of Qin, but he did not expect that Lord Changping would hold his hand tightly when he went out.

Yu Zishi was a little embarrassed, he wanted to pull his hand back gently, but failed, he stiffened even with the smile on his face.

"Master Zhao is really a caring person!" Changping Jun held his hand firmly, his eyes were almost narrowed, and he praised sincerely, "Master Zhao is really considerate in handling things."

Yu Zishi thought for a while, and felt that what Xiong Qi was talking about was probably that he inspected his room carefully, so he nodded and smiled: "It should be, it is a blessing to be an official to be able to do things for adults." After all, no matter what I think You, after all, you are Lu Buwei's old friend, and your wife is Princess Daqin, the aunt of King Qin, and King Yingzheng of Qin had to call you uncle according to his seniority.Yu Zishi smiled very peacefully.

Xiong Qi became more and more satisfied with Yu Zishi's attitude. It is rare for Daqin to find a courtier who is pleasing to his eyes all these years. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, if Master Zhao encounters some difficulties in the future , You can tell me as much as you want, I will give you an idea for adults."

"Then thank you Changping-jun." Yu Zishi tried to twitch his hand while talking, but he didn't twitch again.

Xiong Qi suddenly remembered something and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhao used to be Lu Buwei's disciple?"

Yu Zishi smiled and said: "It was all happened many years ago, and now it has not been mentioned for many years."

"That's right, I don't want to mention it." Xiong Qi looked at Yu Zishi's eyes even more admiringly, he even reached out and patted Yu Zishi's shoulder, "It's been so many years since a convicted person died. Why are you mentioning him? Don’t you think so?” Xiong Qi laughed as he spoke.

The expression on Yu Zishi's face was the same as usual, but his eyes sharpened slightly when he looked at Xiong Qi, and after a while he smiled and said, "Your Excellency said so."

"Okay, then I won't keep Mr. Zhao any longer." Xiong Qi smiled and winked at Yu Zishi, "I'll go back to the room and have a look, I can't let you down, sir, right?"

Mind?Yu Zishi frowned first, then nodded, yes, although he received Xiong Qi by order, but after all, he tidied up the room with his heart, so he could barely do it.Yu Zishi thought about this, and finally took his hand out of Xiong Qi's hand. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Then I will leave now. If Mr. Changping thinks there is something inappropriate, feel free to mention it to me." that is."

"No no, Mr. Zhao is really thoughtful and satisfied! Of course I am satisfied." Xiong Qi smiled and said everything without saying anything.

Looking at Xiong Qi's smile, Yu Zishi always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.He also looked at Xiong Qi with a smile, anyway, it's always right to laugh, right?After bowing down and saluting, he cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Master Zhao, go slowly!"

Yu Zishi turned and left. After walking for a while, he turned around and saw that Xiong Qi was walking back.Looking at his back, Yu Zishi still felt a little strange in his heart. He always felt that something had gone wrong, and he couldn't help but go through the matter from seven days ago again. Originally, Yu Zishi still felt that he Sending people to clear the road and warning people with young children along the way, this move might offend Xiong Qi, causing him to spend seven days outside the city deliberately embarrassing himself, but looking at the situation just now, he felt that Xiong Qi seemed to be real Are you satisfied with yourself?

Yu Zishi didn't want to understand, but his fear of Xiong Qi increased a bit.A perverted pedophile is nothing to be afraid of, but a perverted pedophile is also a political hooligan at the same time, this person needs him to pay more attention.

Walking on the street, Yu Zishi thought while going back to the palace to report to King Qin that he had picked up the man, and then went to see Hu Hai, and left without saying a word, didn't he suddenly feel uncomfortable?

Just as Yu Zishi was thinking this way, a child in a red coat suddenly turned in front of him. Seeing that she was seven or eight years old, she ran straight to Yu Zishi, and shouted crisply, "Master Zhao!"

Yu Zishi was taken aback, pointed to himself and asked, "You called me?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao! Zhao Gao!" The little girl raised her head and hugged Yu Zishi's leg with her arms.

Yu Zishi thought for a while, then took out some broken silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's palm, "Take it and buy some food."

The little girl was dumbfounded when she saw the half-grained silver in her hand, what a huge sum of money!

Seeing that she was not moving or speaking, Yu Zishi avoided her and continued walking forward.The little girl just came back to her senses, stuffed the broken silver into her pocket, and ran towards Yu Zishi, "Master Zhao! My lord is here!" The little girl was shouting at the top of her voice. , "My lord, stay behind!"

Yu Zishi felt his legs being hugged again, he looked down, frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

"Master Zhao, my lord is here to invite you!" The little girl said quickly, "I'm not begging, I'm... I'm... Hey, what am I?" I can't remember which family I belong to.

Seeing her desperately struggling, Yu Zishi frowned and asked, "What?"

The little girl's face was flushed, and she tugged at Yu Zishi and said, "That's...hey! That old and ugly one, who doesn't listen to people's words, is greedy, and sleeps all day long!"

Yu Zishi didn't know what was going on at first, staring at the little girl's red flowered jacket for a while, his mind suddenly felt like an electric shock, "Wei Liao?"

"That's right! Wei Liao!" The little girl stared wide and nodded desperately, "Master Zhao, my Lord Taiwei is here to invite you! He said please go immediately! The matter is very important, very important!"

"Go right away?" Yu Zishi frowned, looked in the direction of Wangcheng, and then looked at the little girl, who curled her lips as if she was about to cry.

It was new for Wei Liao to find him, Yu Zishi thought about it, and felt that there was no rush to report to the King of Qin, anyway, Xiong Qi would only meet Ying Zheng tomorrow.As for Hu Hai, nothing major should happen.After thinking for a moment, he said to the little girl, "Okay, I'll let you go."

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly.
