Great Qin Shi Empress

==·==

Xiao He's first reaction was to get angry.

Just like what Liu Ji said, he has been in the grassland to build a city for some time, and the subordinates around him have also been trained, and many of them are not inferior to or even better than Liu Ji——

It's not that Liu Ji himself is incapable, but that he seems to be born not good at being under others. Although he can help Xiao He handle everything properly, there will always be some low-level mistakes in various details, and he is obedient. He is completely inferior to other people, and it is very easy to have conflicts with colleagues and people with higher status than him.

On the contrary, he has a better relationship with his subordinates and is respected by them.

But it is these small problems that will not affect the result, and in the end, Liu Ji's status and influence in Xiao He's team are getting lower and lower. Although he is still the second in command, there are still many people eager to challenge him. status.

Liu Ji himself is among them, and it is indeed somewhat dispensable.

But what Xiao He always wanted was to accumulate many merits for Liu Ji through this construction of the city, intending to win another chance for him to enter the court as an official.

Xiao He had already made up his mind, this time he no longer tried to send Liu Ji to the central government, but arranged for him to be a county magistrate at the grassroots level, or even in a county near Xianyang.Although the position is not high, he can be regarded as the boss of a small place. If you pay attention to it, there will be no problems.

Can……

No matter how well he thought, he could not go against Liu Ji's own wishes.

Xiao He forced a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Ji seriously, and told him what he had arranged for him.Then I asked again: "You have a lot of criminal records in the household registration file of the imperial court. You missed the opportunity to become an official with the meritorious service of building the city. Even I may not be able to arrange a second chance for you. Are you really that good?" Are you sure you want to stay in Xianyang?"

Once he stays, all Liu Ji's previous efforts will be in vain——

The imperial court may still compensate Liu Ji for his contributions during this period, but it is impossible to give him an official position.

Liu Ji was really moved after hearing Xiao He's arrangement for him.

If you can really become a county magistrate in a small place, all the people in the county must obey their orders, and no one can control them except when necessary...

Just thinking about it, Liu Ji wanted to nod in agreement.

But soon Liu Ji came to his senses: "Of course what you said is very good, but with my temperament... Do you really think that everything will be fine if I become the county magistrate?"

Xiao He hated iron but steel: "As long as you restrain yourself a little, don't let people catch you, can't I still protect you?"

Liu Ji said straight away: "Then I'd better not be an official."

That's his temperament, and he doesn't plan to change it for the rest of his life.

Xiao He was so angry that he raised his finger to Liu Ji's nose and wanted to curse, but when he found that Liu Ji's eyes were indifferent, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word, and walked away on the spot.

Liu Ji: "..."

Fan Kuai and others entered the room and looked at him accusingly.

Liu Ji touched his nose uncomfortably, and chuckled: "Xiao He's temper has become more and more violent, and the wife of the sister-in-law is not submissive. If he doesn't change his temperament, he may have a quarrel with the wife of the sister-in-law in the future."

Fan Kuai and others rolled their eyes at the same time: "You should take care of yourself first!"

Speaking of himself, Liu Ji didn't have any awkward emotions: "What do I have to do? Just find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and you don't need much dowry."

Fan Kuai and the others: "..."

Liu Ji saw the disapproval in the eyes of the brothers, but he still went his own way. He found a matchmaker at random and came to propose marriage.

The strange thing is that Qi Ji didn't have any objection to Liu Ji's obviously not caring attitude, and she directly agreed to Liu Ji's marriage proposal, as if she really wanted to marry him.

Fan Kuai and the others felt strange, but couldn't help feeling suspicious——

It's not that they look down on their brother, it's just that with Liu Ji's current status and status, as well as his property status that can be called a family, it is impossible for anyone who has some conditions in himself or his family to marry him.

This Qi Ji is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also has a lot of money according to Liu Ji. Even if she can't bear children, there should be many people who are willing to marry her back home. Why is she so eager to marry Liu Ji? ?Don't even care about Liu Ji's slightly contemptuous attitude?

But Liu Ji didn't take it seriously: "It's just a woman, what should I care about?"

Fan Kui and the others looked at him in disbelief, it was hard to imagine that he still had such ridiculous thoughts.

One must know that after Fan Kuai and the others successfully obtained positions, they had to deal with those female officials a lot.Because they grew up in Chudi, affected by the surrounding environment, they didn't take these people seriously at first, but after suffering a few losses at the hands of each other, no matter how stupid they are, they know that they can't look down on those women.

They persuaded him earnestly for a long time, but it only made Liu Ji frowned: "Don't worry, I will be careful in the future."

Seeing his attitude, everyone couldn't continue persuading him.

It's not that they don't care about Liu Ji, it's that they are just having groundless suspicions at the moment, and they are not inaccurate at all——

In case everything is just their guess wrong, wouldn't it delay Liu Ji's wonderful marriage?

however……

That Qi Ji really made people doubt her intentions.

Because the general pre-wedding process takes half a year, and even two or three years, but Qi Ji's family took the initiative to find Liu Ji within two days after receiving Liu Ji's offer of employment. Marriage time proposed.

Just half a month later.

half a month?

Everyone was stunned.

What's even more outrageous is that Liu Ji actually agreed.

Half a month may not be enough time for Liu Ji's relatives in his hometown to rush to Xianyang——

Liu Ji never sent money home, and his family could not afford train tickets.

But Liu Ji didn't care. After all, his father had always looked down on him, and because of his father's respect for his elder brother, his brother's relationship with him was estranged, and his mother died early. Now he is only his stepmother in his hometown. Liu Ji doesn't care about the wedding.

Liu Ji doesn't care if family members participate or not, but Liu Ji cares whether good brothers participate or not.

After confirming the news, Liu Ji immediately told Xiao He and others about the wedding date.

Xiao He and Xiao, who had already packed their bags and prepared to leave, had no choice but to postpone their departure time after hearing about this incident, and prepared to attend the next wedding.

After all, it's only a few days, Xiao He will not miss his good brother's wedding.

But this matter was weird from the beginning to the end, even Xiao, who didn't like Liu Ji, couldn't help but find Xiao He and said, "Would this Qi Ji who is about to marry Liu Ji hide it?" What is it, otherwise why are you so anxious to marry him?"

Xiao He himself thought so too, but...

He sighed: "I don't know if that kid Liu Ji was squinted by that Qi Ji, but he turned a blind eye to all these doubts, and still insisted on marrying him."

Xiao: "But Qi Ji..."

She didn't want to speak bad words to a strange woman, so she could only swallow many guesses.

Fortunately, Xiao He himself knows how outrageous this marriage is: "You don't need to worry about it, our brothers have already said a lot of things that should be reminded, and he doesn't care about it, and we have nothing to do. Now we can only look forward to our Worrying is just thinking too much, or helping if something happens later.”

Xiao He saw that Xiao He had said this, so she didn't care about it any more.

Afterwards, the two went directly to the train station to get their tickets refunded, and went to the palace to meet His Majesty, explaining to him the reason why the husband and wife suddenly changed their itinerary.

After all, the two planned to leave for the grassland in a few days, and the itinerary had already been reported to Ying Zheng. Now, if they wanted to change the itinerary, they would naturally need to seek Ying Zheng's consent in advance.

Ying Zheng was a little surprised after hearing this: "How many days will your brother get married?"

Xiao He nodded yes, and quickly explained: "My brother is called Liu Ji, and he went to the grassland with me to build a city before, and helped me a lot. But he didn't plan to get married this year, but something happened before. It was a sudden decision."

Ying Zheng didn't understand: "Can the marriage be decided suddenly?"

Xiao He looked embarrassed: "My brother has always been informal, and he doesn't care about these red tapes."

Thinking of Liu Jixinyin he heard before, Yingzheng's eyes were very strange——

I'm afraid it's not about being informal, but because he doesn't care about the marriage partner, right?

But this has nothing to do with Ying Zheng, plus Xiao He has indeed made great contributions, so he is not even willing to give them a few days of vacation, so he directly accepted the two people's leave.

……

That night, Ying Zheng informed Lin Qian of the matter.

Ying Zheng thought that Lin Qian didn't know anything about this——

After all, Liu Ji is just an ordinary head of Guizhou, not even a petty official, and Lin Qian has little chance to get in touch with him on weekdays.

But I didn't expect that after he said it, Lin Qian nodded without any surprise: "I guessed that Xiao He and Xiao couldn't leave on time, and they must ask you to ask for leave. After all, Xiao He and Liu Ji have never left. The brothers who came out of Pei County, Sishui County, have a really good relationship."

Although they are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers——

At least Liu Ji and his brothers are not as good as he is with Xiao He and others.

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian suspiciously: "You seem to know about this?"

Lin Qian paused, more suspicious than he: "Didn't you know that Liu Ji was getting married before? This matter has almost become known in Xianyang."

Ying Zheng: "???"

He was a little at a loss: "Does Liu Ji have any special status now? He's just married, why is there such a commotion?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then walked aside amusedly, rummaged through a pile of newspapers for a while, then found out the gossip newspapers from the previous few days, and handed them over to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng paused, and hesitantly took the newspaper in his hands.

Then, a huge headline "A man surnamed Liu in Xianyang was approached by a group of women to ask for responsibility" directly caught Ying Zheng's eyes, and then it kept circling in his mind like mental pollution.

After a long time, Ying Zheng raised his head: "What's the title of this article?"

He remembered that even for gossip newspapers, the previous headlines were all serious and elegant. Why is this headline so vernacular and extremely suggestive?

Lin Qian twitched her lips: "The gossip newspaper is just for entertainment. From the title to the content, it should be written in vernacular as much as possible to get close to people's lives. It's just that everyone used to have a strong sense of awe for all text-related items because of difficulty in reading. , so we can only gradually change everyone’s reading habits.”

However, it is strange that the newspaper made such a change without Ying Zheng's consent.

Lin Qian thought for a while, then looked at Ying Zheng seriously: "You never read gossip newspapers before, did you?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "It's just a boring pastime."

It's useless to him other than a waste of time.

Lin Qian laughed helplessly: "Then the matter is clear. At the beginning, Zhang Tingwei probably tried to send an improved gossip newspaper to the palace to test your attitude. Seeing that you have 'no opinion' on this, so Just keep going in this direction.”

Ying Zheng frowned.

Lin Qian looked at him amusedly: "This newspaper has been in this style two or three years ago. Every time a new newspaper is published, I never forget to send a copy to the palace. Who told you not to read it yourself? But Rest assured, the headlines of other serious newspapers are still the same as before."

Ying Zheng glanced at her: "Don't you know what's going on with serious newspapers?"

But in the end did not entangle the issue.

He picked up the newspaper, suppressed his dissatisfaction with the title, and carefully read the content of the report.

then……

Ying Zheng raised his head in disbelief: "This Liu Ji is just a Guizhou leader, where did he have the courage to get involved with so many women?"

Lin Qian shrugged and sat opposite Ying Zheng: "How do I know?"

Ying Zheng looked at the report in his hand, and he was in a daze: "Such a person... Finally succeeded in defeating the Xiang family, and then won the world?"

This made him couldn't help but wonder how wasteful Qin State was when it took the world away.

Lin Qian said something fair: "Although this person seems to have a bad temper, he is indeed able to bend and stretch, he is willing to let go of power, and he can listen to persuasion. He is also assisted by someone with real skills and knowledge like Xiao He. It’s not surprising that we can win the world.”

[After all, his opponent Chu Bawang is too insane. 】

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "How do you say that?"

Lin Qian paused, and said helplessly: [These people from the Chu region seem to have a special liking for the enfeoffment system. The titles of most kings with different surnames have been cut. 】

[The overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu, was a little confused, and he divided up his subordinates on the way to conquer the world, which directly ruined the originally good situation. 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

I don't get it, wouldn't they have learned a lesson from the demise of the Zhou Dynasty?The Zhou Dynasty will eventually collapse, isn't it because the enfeoffed princes are unwilling to obey the orders of the Emperor Zhou after they sit down?

However, this is not the most important thing at this time.

Ying Zheng patiently read all the content of the report, and then heaved a long sigh of relief: "So, this Liu Ji is going to marry Qi Ji in this report soon?"

Lin Qian nodded: "If there is no accident, it is true."

Ying Zheng heard the words, but kept his eyes on the report without moving away.

Lin Qian waited for a while, seeing that he hadn't moved, she couldn't help stretching out her hand and shaking it in front of his eyes.

Ying Zheng grabbed Lin Qian's hand: "Is it fun?"

Lin Qian laughed: "Isn't it because you haven't moved? Why, is there anything strange about the content of this report?"

She was asking casually, but Ying Zheng nodded, "It's a little strange."

Lin Qian was stunned, stood up and stood beside Ying Zheng: "What's so strange?"

Ying Zheng grabbed Lin Qian's hand and landed directly on the reporter's name: "I'm a little curious. It stands to reason that there are not many people with the surname 'Qi'. Why are the two reporters named Qi?"

Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, and after looking closely, he found that the authors of this report were all named Qi X.

Qi Ji is also surnamed Qi...

The two looked at each other, with some vague guesses in their hearts.

Sure enough, not long after, the reporter who reported this article reported Qi Ji and Liu Ji's wedding again, and this time, Liu Ji and Qi Ji's name "Qi Rong" was directly written in the content of the report.

Na Qirong's name happened to be the same as that of one of the reporters.

Not only that, another "reporter" surnamed Qi wrote another report after these two reports, directly blew up Qi Rong's identity, and directly revealed all of Qi Rong's experiences from childhood to adulthood. The name "Qi Rong" spread all over the country along with the three reports.

Just when Lin Qian thought this was all there was, the gossip newspapers didn't know what to think, and deliberately set aside a quarter of the page to publish letters from readers——

They all wrote letters to scold Qi Rong for being stupid and shameful.

Looking at this operation, Lin Qian always felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember what was going on for a while.

Then, in the next issue of the newspaper, Qi Rong personally wrote an article.

The writing of the article is moving and the words are sincere. It shows that after receiving countless letters from readers, Qi Rong was awakened by their well-organized and deeply loving words. Now he has deeply realized Liu Ji's unreliability and his own innocence After waking up, he decided to reconcile directly with Liu Ji.

At the end of the article, she also directly attached a copy of Heli Shu.

Lin Qian: "..."

This operation, 666!

Although I don't know what benefits Qi Rong has to offer besides making himself more famous, there is no doubt that Qi Rong's method is a common marketing method in modern Internet.

magical!

Because she was too shocked, and felt that Liu Ji, a famous scumbag in history, suffered a disadvantage in matters of men and women, it was too funny, so she couldn't help but tell Ying Zheng about it.

After Yingzheng finished listening, he asked Zhang Liang directly when he went to court the next day——

He didn't believe what Qi Rong did, and Zhang Liang, the person in charge of all the newspapers, would not know anything about it.

Zhang Liang did know about it, and he even secretly contributed to this matter: "Isn't this another animation player that the Mo family came up with a few days ago? Weichen found it very interesting, and decided to help him make a name for himself. "

Lin Qian was at a loss: "It seems that only Qi Rong is famous now?"

This animation player didn't appear from the beginning to the end?

Zhang Liang explained with a smile: "In the next issue of the gossip newspaper, a report will be published. It mainly tells the story that in order to warn more women who are fascinated by men's rhetoric, Qi Rong decides to expose himself and others who were also victimized by Liu Ji. The woman's personal experience was made into an animation, and then it was screened all over the country."

Lin Qian looked at Zhang Liang in disbelief: "Is this a bit..."

Too harsh?

[At any rate, you and Liu Bang were also regarded as a monarch and minister in history. Now that you don't have this status, you won't be so cruel, right? 】

[If you really want to do what you said, I'm afraid Liu Bang will die directly! 】

Zhang Liang felt that this was an excellent opportunity——

He didn't create this opportunity by himself, it was obviously given to him by Liu Ji and Qi Rong, if he didn't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a waste?

Ying Zheng gave Lin Qian a funny look: "Does Marquis Gu Feng have any objections?"

Lin Qian quickly shook her head: "No."

Really, she was just too shocked by the situation of "Zhang Liang's ruthless attack on Liu Bang", and she actually didn't have much opinion on this approach.

After all, this matter, he made it up by himself...

Lin Qian never imagined that Liu Ji, who was worried that she would be "dead" because of Zhang Liang's actions, after seeing being divorced, seeing a few reports, and when the animation was officially released in Xianyang City, all the brothers put down one after another. After coming to express concern about the affairs in hand, he didn't feel anything about it.

Not only did he not feel it, he was even quite happy: Qi Rong reconciled with him, but gave him a lot of money.

When Xiao He and the others saw his attitude, they almost died of anger.

Liu Ji didn't understand why they were so worried. Seeing that Xiao He was about to leave, in order to prevent him from worrying about this matter, Liu Ji took all his brothers to the official office and changed his name.

Immediately afterwards, he took the money to buy a house in another city.

Looking at the stunned expressions of Xiao He and others, Liu Ji spread his hands shamelessly: "I can get so much money just by being scolded, I still feel that I have earned it."

Xiao He and the others: "..."

Several people looked at each other, only to feel that the breath was stuck in the throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

Facing Liu Ji's indifferent expression, several people turned around one after another.

Liu Ji hurriedly called them to stop: "Xiao He is about to set off for the grassland, right? I'm treating guests, let's practice for Xiao He together!"

Several people paused, turned their heads, and sighed in unison: "Oh..."

Who is this!

……

A group of people assisted in the production, and the animation was produced in just a few days and was screened at the Storytelling Teahouse.

After Lin Qian heard about it, she went out of the palace with Ying Zheng to see it.

But he didn't want to find out that Liu Ji himself was sitting in the last row after sitting down.

She was startled, and was about to speak when Liu Ji introduced herself with a smile: "I'm Liu Bang, it's a pleasure to meet you two!"
