my grandfather was qin shi huang

Looking at the delicacies in the tripod, Zhao Ying resisted the urge to feast and asked someone to take the two large earthen jars. He filled them carefully by himself, added some milky white mutton soup to each, and then sealed them again. .

"Someone, bring it to grandma so she can have a taste - tell grandma that I want to go to the palace right away. You don't have to wait for me to eat..."

With that said, he strode towards Xianyang Palace carrying a large earthen jar filled with radish stewed mutton.

I'm not trying to please anyone, and it's definitely not because I'm afraid of my father's spying on me, but because I'm filial!

Right, that is it.

While hypnotizing himself repeatedly in his mind, he strode towards Xianyang Palace according to the route in his predecessor's memory.

……

The Eighteenth Prince's Mansion.

Hu Hai was surrounded by huge surprises all day long.

He never dared to think of competing with his eldest brother Fusu, even though his eldest brother angered His Majesty last time because he opposed the system of counties and counties. With His Majesty's support, he went to the CRRC Mansion to study law under Zhao Gao. , and even made an engagement with the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo Li Si, but he did not dare to go through with it.

Although he considers himself extraordinary, he is well aware of the huge gap between himself and his eldest brother Fusu.

Regardless of his personal reputation or his foundation in the court or even the military, he is far from being able to compare with his elder brother.

Until today.

His eldest brother actually tried to commit suicide, and even went to anger Aweng for no reason for those damn warlocks. The angry Aweng was directly expelled from Xianyang and rushed to Shangjun.

He couldn't help but be stunned by his eldest brother's sweet operation.

This was tantamount to forcibly withdrawing from the competition and giving up the crown prince position that was about to be obtained.

A good hand, played badly!

He was so excited that he almost went crazy.

Until Zhao Gao and Li Si got off duty and rushed to his house, he was still dizzy, as if in the clouds, and couldn't believe this was true.

"Prime Minister Zuo, teacher——"

Hu Hai stepped forward to salute the two of them respectfully, personally welcomed them into his hall, and asked them to sit down. When the servants served the tea, he could not hide his joy.

"What should I do now? I want you two to teach me -"

Li Si frowned slightly. To be honest, he looked down on this [-]th Young Master, because compared with Young Master Fusu, this [-]th Young Master was really too immature.

With an unstable mind, insufficient talents, insufficient prestige, and lack of foundation, he has almost nothing except being favored by His Majesty.

In the past, he assisted Hu Hai because he had no choice. His Majesty personally named him and wanted Hu Hai to marry his daughter, so he could only cope with it.

But what he didn't expect was that the situation would turn suddenly.

In his opinion, the eldest son Fusu, who was most likely to become the crown prince, was expelled from the political center of Xianyang!

The [-]th Young Master Hu Hai, whom he usually looked down upon, had a huge increase in his hopes...

"Movement is worse than stillness. I think that at this time, it is more inappropriate for the young master to act rashly. Whatever happened in the past will be whatever happens in the future..."

Since you only rely on the necessary favor, then just continue to be your good son.

Li Si said it sincerely, but when Hu Hai heard it, something felt wrong.

What do you mean?

Why do you look down on me?

When my eldest brother was here, it was hard to make friends with courtiers, participate in government affairs, and recruit talents. But now that I am here, I can't do anything?

He suppressed his displeasure and looked at Zhao Gao.

"What does the teacher think..."

Although Zhao Gao also looked down upon Hu Hai a little, he was different from Li Si. As a hermit from Lishan Mountain, he was the best at observing people's behavior and figuring out human nature. He would never conflict with others head-on or make Hu Hai unhappy.

"Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently and may have a poor appetite. Why don't you prepare some delicious food and have dinner with Your Majesty in the palace..."

Hu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this.

As expected, he is my teacher. This is a great idea!

He was lacking in talent, but he was not stupid. Zhao Gao understood this immediately.

What is most important now?

Of course it’s to please my grandson!

Although he wanted to do it right away, fortunately, he still remembered his identity as the eighteenth prince, and knew that if he wanted to truly obtain the position of prince in the future, he would need Li Si's support, so he politely asked Li Si for advice again.

"What does the Prime Minister think?"

"Can--"

Li Si also thought this was a good idea. Instead of letting the Eighteenth Young Master do all sorts of things, it would be better to let him focus on His Majesty, at least not causing other troubles during such a sensitive period.

Seeing that this idea had the support of Li Si and Zhao Gao, Hu Hai immediately took action.

He may not have much to do about government affairs, but when it comes to how to please his own father-in-law, he leaves his eldest brother [-] streets behind.

"Every autumn and winter, Aweng likes to eat some mutton. I will pick the fattest one and kill it myself..."

Hu Hai confessed, got up and left happily.

Li Si also took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye.

As the Prime Minister of Zuo, he had a heavy burden and daily government affairs were complicated. If it were not for the order of the First Emperor, he would really be reluctant to run to Hu Hai.

At his current status, he has already passed the point where he needs to deliberately please anyone.

What's more, now that the crown prince's position has not yet been established, he doesn't want to get involved.

"pity……"

He sighed softly and subconsciously glanced back in the direction of Xianyang Palace, feeling a little unsure of the First Emperor's thoughts.

……

It was not far from Fusu Mansion to Xianyang Palace. Zhao Ying carried an earthen jar of radish stewed mutton and walked to the carriage. After a while, he walked to the gate of Xianyang Palace.

"Stop, Your Majesty has an order. No one is allowed to appear without a summons——"

Just as he was about to step in, he was blocked by a guard with a cold expression.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, pointed at his nose, and cursed sternly.

"You bastard, you dare to stop me, do you know who I am?"

The guard still looked grim.

"Sun Ying, the eldest son of the Emperor of Qin."

Even so, his feet remained motionless, with no intention of moving out of the way.

Looking at the earthen jar in his hand, and then at the guard blocking his way, Zhao Ying snorted coldly and took a step forward again.

"I would like to ask you, who am I?"

what--

Isn't it the emperor Sun Ying?

When Zhao Ying asked him such a question, the guards were a little confused, and for a moment, they didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Ying didn't say anything and kicked him over. In fact, his current strength cannot be underestimated. He can lift a hundred kilograms of stone locks with one hand. Not to mention an ordinary guard, even a powerful general in the army may not have this strength.

In addition, the guard at the door never expected that there would be someone so bold as to dare to hit someone at the door of Xianyang Palace. He was unprepared and was kicked in the chest by him and flew out sideways.

He fell to the ground with a thud and almost lost his breath on the spot.

How dare you break into Xianyang Palace!
