my grandfather was qin shi huang

Many people saw with their own eyes that His Majesty the First Emperor was very fond of the colored glaze called Horse Treading on the Flying Swallow and spoke highly of it.

From then on, the reputation of Liuli Shop was completely established, and the news that the Yu family was attracted to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson spread like wildfire. Many thoughtful glances quietly dispersed from Liuli Store, and the business of Liuli Store became completely popular.

The Xianyang nobles, who had been waiting for a long time, finally took action.

The colored glaze that had been on display for many days, and the colored glaze that had amazed Xianyang for many days, began to find its buyers. And many wealthy businessmen who smelled business opportunities also began to come to the door, wanting to cooperate with the shops. Yu Tian was busy every day.

But I still took time out of my busy schedule to write a letter to my two sons who were far away in Kuaiji.

He believed that as long as the news from Xianyang was sent back, the Yu family's predicament in Kuaiji would naturally be solved and completely disappear.

And the Yu family will completely gain a firm foothold and even move up a level.

He had already stated in the letter that the eldest son would leave for Xianyang as soon as possible to join His Highness the Emperor Changsun. After going through all the twists and turns in his family, he came to understand more and more that if there was no power in the family and no authority in his hands, even if he had great wealth, he would be nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered and a poor man living a slightly decent life.

Zhao Ying naturally had no time to care about Yu Tian's petty thoughts. He didn't even have time to favor the legendary Yu Concubine.

At this time, all his energy was on Hedong County.

Because several censors who went to Hedong County to investigate the prophecy case will return today.

Zhao Ying naturally knew everything about the investigation results of this matter, as well as the subsequent development of this matter. "When the First Emperor heard about it, he sent his censors to question him. If he didn't obey, he took out rocks and killed people who were standing nearby."

With the mentality of those conspirators, they naturally would not come out to confess their crimes. To put it more seriously, perhaps angering the First Emperor and causing him to go on a killing spree and killing people indiscriminately was originally part of their plan.

The more violent the First Emperor was, the more people he killed, and the more angry people became, the easier it was for them to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, it would be better if this could break the mentality of the First Emperor and make him suspicious.

Therefore, almost at the same time that the First Emperor sent the censor into Hedong County, Zhao Ying sent out his own elite scout battalion, led by Chen Sheng and his disciples personally, to assist in the investigation.

In an era without the eyes of the sky, in an era where information is closed, in an era where nobles can influence the life and death of the people, it is not easy to trace the source and find out the truth.

It is almost impossible to find the truth!

Therefore, today, Zhao Ying is not only waiting for the censor, but also for news from Chen Sheng, Tu and others. Since someone wants the First Emperor's hands to be stained with blood, then just stain them with blood!

According to the plan, these censors should have rushed back yesterday.

Zhao Ying hoped that he could take advantage of the joy of the imperial examination to alleviate the anger in the heart of the First Emperor. However, God's calculations were not as good as those of man. A heavy rain in Hedong County delayed the trip after all.

Couldn't keep up with the good timing.

"...Your Majesty, after arriving at the local area, I will search all the places around the meteorite and interrogate them one by one - no effective clues were found. Please punish me..."

Several censors gritted their teeth and fearfully reported the findings of their trip to Hedong.

The First Emperor's face was as gloomy as water, and his voice was a little cold.

"According to my decree, the place where the meteorite fell has a radius of ten miles..."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zhao Ying coughed lightly and cut off the First Emperor's words. He gently waved his hands to several censors and motioned them to go out. Several censors secretly looked at the face of the First Emperor. Seeing that the First Emperor had no objection, they bowed and stepped back.

After all the censors had left, the First Emperor returned to the inner hall with a dark face and said angrily.

"Why, you have to learn from your old man, talk about women's benevolence, and advise me not to kill people..."

Zhao Ying came up and helped the First Emperor's shoulders, while smiling.

"Why should you advise your eldest father not to kill people - of course you have to kill! Kill them severely. If you don't kill, it will not make the people angry, and if you don't kill, it will not be enough to correct the rules. In this case, if you don't kill people, eldest father, you, the emperor, should What's the point..."

First Emperor:……

Ah, this-

If Zhao Ying could persuade him with a few words, the First Emperor himself would hardly be able to do it.

He turned around in astonishment and looked at this bitch for a long time. He frowned slightly when he saw that this guy didn't seem to be playing a trick on him.

Of course he hopes that his grandson will be decisive in killing and will not be like his stupid son, who has the kindness of a woman and talks about benevolent politics every day, but he also never wants his successor to be a murderous tyrant. ah.

It is enough for Da Qin to have its own monarch who sweeps across the universe and quells evildoers. The latecomers will eventually have to rest with the people and give the world a chance to breathe. Only the head of Guizhou in the world can be grateful, and the country of Da Qin can be blessed for thousands of generations.

He will kill at every turn, and he must kill ruthlessly——

This is a headache.

Could it be that he led this brat to evil...

"Where did you get such a murderous streak? How can you run a country and kill people at every turn?"

Zhao Ying: ...

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the First Emperor himself realized that something was not right. He seemed to have got himself involved, so he simply stared at him with a dark face and said nothing.

Zhao Ying knew that the First Emperor wanted to save face, so he did not expose him, but said cheerfully.

"What my father taught me is that running a big country is like cooking small fish. Of course, you can't kill them simply and rudely, but you can't just indulge them. If you want to be benevolent as a woman, you should kill them. You still have to kill them - thunder, rain and dew, both. Jun’en, sometimes the dirt on the ground cannot be cleaned by hand. Instead of working hard, it’s better to have a downpour..."

The First Emperor was thoughtful, looking at Zhao Ying's eyes with a bit of scrutiny.

"You brat, what on earth do you want to do..."

"kill!"

Zhao Ying stopped what he was doing, walked up to the First Emperor, pulled up a small chair, and sat across from the First Emperor, this generation said sternly.

"If this is a case in Hedong County, people must be killed, so why don't you take this opportunity to clean up some of the bugs that are jumping up and down? Killing hundreds or thousands of innocent people is meaningless to those villains who are behind the scenes. Say no. Yes, they will still be happy to see it happen, so that they can take the opportunity to promote the name of the Great Father's cruelty. The only way is to point the knife at them. They know what consequences will come from offending the Great Father..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The look in Zhao Ying's eyes was a little complicated. This bitch traveled around the grassland and Hexi. After returning, his methods became so tough and violent.

However, he had to admit that he was a little tempted by his grandson's suggestion!

"Your temperament in doing things is too fierce, which is not a good thing..."

The First Emperor felt that as an eldest father, he still had to persuade his eldest grandson.

Zhao Ying smiled when he heard this.

"What the eldest father has taught me is that I don't have to kill him. Anyway, I can find anyone to take the blame and settle the case of the prophecy - there are just a bunch of clowns here and there to disgust people..." "

First Emperor:……

For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether this bitch really wanted to kill, or was trying to persuade him not to kill anyone under the pretext of killing.

pondered for a long time.

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Ying and said seriously.

"Ying'er, have you ever considered the reaction to this move..."

Zhao Ying's proposal was too bold and aggressive. Once the nobles of Hedong County are attacked, the whole world will definitely be in an uproar. The nobles of Hedong County will definitely not sit still and wait for death. By then, the situation of the entire Hedong County will completely fall into corruption.

It may even cause an overreaction on a larger scale.

Even the First Emperor had to be careful about the price involved. At the beginning, the purpose of destroying the Six Kingdoms without destroying the nobles of the Six Kingdoms was actually to quell the war in the world as soon as possible, and not to push the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to a dead end and lead the Qin Dynasty into endless wars.

Although Guanzhong is rich, it has wiped out the six countries and its people have been exhausted.

The First Emperor himself knew it well.

However, things did not go as planned. The nobles of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong did not buy this account at all!

"Thought about..."

Zhao Ying knew that the First Emperor had begun to seriously consider the feasibility of his suggestion. He picked up the teapot and poured water for the First Emperor, speaking calmly.

"As you know, Uncle Eighteen and I still have a small business in Hedong County..."

First Emperor:……

You call that a small business?

If it weren't for the fact that one of you is my biological son and the other is my biological grandson, and you are usually quite filial and sensible, I would have given you this little business and returned it to the officialdom!

The money is being made every day, which makes me a little jealous.

"So, these days, I have a fairly good understanding of the situation in Hedong County, and I have a lot of evidence in my hand that the local nobles are committing lawlessness, preying on the people, and even taking human lives. Once the eldest father takes action, I, the Storyteller of Great Qin, will We will immediately follow up and quickly expose the evil deeds of these people to the world..."

While listening, the First Emperor nodded slightly and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup on the table.

As a result, before his hand could reach it, Zhao Ying grabbed the teacup and spilled it.

"You have a bad stomach, don't drink herbal tea..."

First Emperor:……

Leaning on the back of the chair helplessly.

I purposely waited for a long time and finally waited for it to cool down. However, I didn’t even take a sip, so I turned around and let you, a piece of shit, pour it over...

However, at this time, he also came back to his senses.

He looked at his eldest grandson with a half-smile.

"You brat, you must have planned this..."

"Nothing, impossible, don't talk nonsense—"

Zhao Ying immediately pushed [-], I, Zhao Ying, am aboveboard, how could I have premeditated it, at most I am just seeing the tricks and adapting to the situation!

The First Emperor didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Damn it, show it to me again!

……

Just when the first emperor and Zhao Ying, the grandson and grandson, were discussing how to deal with the aftermath, outside the gate of Hedong County, in the ten-mile long pavilion, Zhang Er held a long willow in his hand, bowed and bowed behind him.

"Everyone, please stop. The matter here is over. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. We will meet again in the rivers and lakes someday..."

"Brother Zhang, let's say goodbye here and cherish it along the way!"

In the green poplar shade, Bi Tong, Wei He and a group of former Wei nobles bowed their hands to Zhang Er in return. I have great respect for this loyal man who traveled all over the country for King Zhao.

Zhang Er jumped on the horse's back, held his hands again, and turned away.

"A true righteous man!"

Looking at Zhang Er's retreating figure, Bi Tong couldn't help but sigh over and over again.

The surnames Bi and Wei are both from the royal family of the King of Wei. Of course, from a blood perspective, neither Bi Tong nor Wei He is close to the King of Wei.

After all, those who are truly close by blood are all raised on the banks of the Wei River in a palace specially prepared by the First Emperor!

But this is not to select the general among the cripples.

When the real Wei royal family was captured and used as spoils of war, marginal figures like Bi Tong and Wei He transformed into symbols of the Wei royal family.

Countless former Wei nobles gathered around spontaneously, as if they had found a backbone.

Just like everyone expected!

This feeling of stars holding the moon is simply intoxicating. As time passed, the two people, who had actually been marginalized by the Wei royal family for a long time and were almost ignored, felt that as the blood of the Wei king, they must shoulder the sacred mission of restoring the Wei Kingdom.

Turning around, the two people walked in front as a matter of course.

Behind them were seven or eight of the top nobles in Daliang City from the Wei period.

The surrender was quick at the beginning, and their family did not suffer much impact. Therefore, even now, the influence in Hedong County is still great. However, at this time, they all followed Bi Tong and Wei He with respectful expressions. Just like before, he followed the king of Wei.

"Gentlemen, is this really okay?"

Just when everyone was about to leave for the city, a slender-looking old man with gray beard and hair who looked a little thin couldn't help but speak again.

Everyone couldn't help but froze.

Bi Tong turned around leisurely, with a calm and unhurried demeanor.

"Why should Uncle Ji be worried like this?"

The old man known as Ji Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The place where the meteorite is located is the fiefdom of the old man's family. If something goes wrong, the old man may not even be able to hide..."

"Uncle Ji has filtered it out - the prophecy is a warning from God. Even if it is the only husband of the First Emperor, what can it do? What's more, this is not the first time. When I went to the county, the only husband found no evidence. It was just a matter of catching a few unlucky warlocks and imprisoning them for a few days to vent their anger..."

Seeing that Uncle Ji was worried, some people couldn't help but laugh and explain.

"What's more, even if the lonely man gets angry and orders the killing of nearby residents, what can he do? Doesn't it just suit our wishes? If Uncle Ji feels sorry for this loss, don't worry, our family will do it for you afterwards. Complete..."

When Ji Bo saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What can I say? I am also from the lineage of the King of Wei. In order to regain the ancestral property, how can I be willing to give up this meager fortune? It's just that I always feel a little uneasy about what happened today - it's too calm. The behavior of those censors always feels a bit wrong. Satisfied..."

Uncle Ji's words made everyone burst into laughter.

"Uncle Ji, you are too worried. Those stupid censors arrest some farmers. Don't worry about what they can find out - loyal ministers and righteous men like Zhang Er are running around, regardless of their own lives for the sake of King Zhao's royal family. We, the generation, are sitting back and enjoying the success. If we continue to shrink back and fear the east and the west, wouldn’t we be laughed at by others..."

When Uncle Ji heard this, he could only smile bitterly.

In this circle, you can't be alone if you want to be alone, unless you abandon your family and career, completely break with this circle, and turn to the Qin court. But people like myself are different from Zhang Yi, Su Qin and others, or Wei Liao, Han Fei and others.

The family has lived in Wei for generations, and the family’s roots are in Daliang City!

As long as future generations still need to hang around in the borders of Hedong County, they can't even think of completely drawing a clear line with the group of people in front of them.

I just hope that everything is okay——

A trace of unnoticeable worry flashed in Uncle Ji's eyes. He always felt that the people in front of him were getting more and more impatient. What is there to be impatient about? The First Emperor is already old and is said to be in poor health. He still has a few more years to live in glory?

Wouldn't it be better to wait a little longer?

He was thoughtful, and after returning, he even declined the invitation to have a banquet with everyone, citing his physical discomfort.

When he returned to his house, he saw his eldest son having a lively conversation with a tall young man, and he couldn't help but take a second look in surprise.

"Aweng, you are back -"

Seeing Uncle Ji coming back, the eldest son Ji Rao quickly got up and came out. Uncle Ji, who originally wanted to go back to his study to rest, could only stop and nodded slightly.

He glanced at the young man in the living room and asked casually.

"Where did this guest come from..."

Being personally received by his eldest son, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the identity of the young man in the living room.

"Back to Aweng, it's Sao, the manager from the Coal Company - he's here today to discuss the coal business for this winter with our Ji family..."

When Uncle Ji heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"They want to buy our Ji family's piece of barren mountain, right? If the other party is willing to cede [-]% of our Ji family's share, we can give them some concessions - we can also sell them [-]% more of our family's food..."

They had already had people survey the barren mountain. There was no coal underneath, so it wasn't of much value. As for the grain, if the price was high enough, it wouldn't be impossible to sell more.

Ji Rao bowed and accepted the order.

Just as Ji Bo was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to give instructions.

"Next month, your eldest mother will celebrate her eightieth birthday - I recently heard someone say that an extremely rare colored glaze is produced in Xianyang. Your eldest mother has always liked colored glaze. You can ask someone to go to Xianyang and carefully select it for your eldest mother. Get one back – don’t be afraid to spend more money…”

Ji Rao nodded repeatedly.

"promise--"

……

The censor who investigated the prophecy returned from Hedong County.

This news barely caused any splash in Xianyang City, which has been bustling with activity recently. For ordinary people, whether it is the parade of scholars after being admitted to the imperial examination, or the fact that His Highness the Emperor's grandson has accepted a stunning beauty named Yu Ji, they are more attractive than this news.

But for the senior officials of Daqin who were qualified to have access to this matter, this news quietly attracted the attention of countless people.

The incident prophesied by Shangjun is still happening before our eyes, and something like this happened again in Hedong County.

No one dares to speculate on the First Emperor's thoughts!

But the censor who went to return his life had been in for a long time and still didn't come out, which made everyone break into a cold sweat. Even Zuo Xiang Li Si, who was handling government affairs, and Shangqing Mengyi couldn't help but put down their affairs and always pay attention to the First Emperor's decision.

As for Right Minister Feng Quji——

His mind was very simple. Ever since he was given a table and chairs by the First Emperor, all he wanted to do was to get married to his granddaughter as soon as possible.

But these days, His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson has been very busy. As the woman's eldest father, he can't push her too much. He can only go to His Highness the eldest grandson of the Emperor whenever he has something to do, creating opportunities for chance encounters.

As for Han Xin?

That bitch is just like a lump of wood. My father has been back to Xianyang for two days, and he doesn't even know he wants to visit him!

It really makes no sense!

While he was holding the teapot, squinting his eyes and fishing skillfully at the stall, an order from the First Emperor suddenly came from the palace.

"Invite Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Left Prime Minister Li Si, and Shangqing Mengyi to come to the palace to discuss matters..."

Li Si and Meng Yi quickly put down their government affairs. Feng Quji also put down the teapot he was holding somewhat unexpectedly, stood up with energy, and followed Li Si and Meng Yi to the palace.

But in his heart, he was secretly speculating on the purpose of the First Emperor's summons.

"I have met your Majesty..."

Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi came forward and bowed in greeting, and the First Emperor nodded slightly.

"You don't have to be polite, just sit down wherever you like..."

Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi each knelt down behind their own cases. Feng Quji, who was the right prime minister, looked at the First Emperor with a respectful expression and cupped his hands.

"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when he summons his ministers..."

The First Emperor's eyes were as bright as a torch, he looked around at his three humerus ministers, and said in a deep voice.

"I have received accurate information that the Bi family, the Wei family, the Ji family, the Zhao family, the Pang family, the Wu family, etc. in Hedong County, a total of 16 remnants of the Wei Dynasty, colluded with each other and made prophecies. They are treasonous and immoral. The crime is not here. amnesty……"

Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this!

The hairs all over my body almost stood up.

The three of them are all the top ministers of the Qin Dynasty, and they are naturally familiar with the situation in Hedong County. The list just spat out from the mouth of the First Emperor includes almost all the top nobles in the land of the old Wei Dynasty!

If this list is true, it will be almost a disaster for the entire nobles in Hedong County!

The blood will flow into a river——

The world shakes!

"Your Majesty, is the information true?"

Even Feng Quji, who had almost stopped being involved in political affairs in the past few years, could not help but look solemn and ask the First Emperor himself for confirmation. The matter is too important to ignore.

The First Emperor did not directly answer Feng Quji's question, but glanced at the three of them deeply and asked in a deep voice.

"What do the three Qing family members think we should do?"

Feng Quji couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words, while Li Si took a step forward without hesitation and said in a deep voice.

"According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, all the clans in Hedong County have vainly considered His Majesty's kindness and spread prophecies. Their intentions are to be punished. We should immediately send out troops to arrest all of them and bring them to justice to serve as a warning to others!"

Feng Quji rarely argued with Li Si, but at this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this matter is huge and involves too many areas. If you are not careful, the entire Hedong County may fall into corruption and be out of control. I sincerely ask your Majesty to think twice..."
