my grandfather was qin shi huang

Although this kid couldn't sit still, he had no choice but to hold it in and act like his good baby. At this time, when he heard Zhao Ying's voice, his eyes widened in surprise, and he stretched his neck to look out.

He didn't expect that someone would dare to yell in this Zhangtai Palace.

The old man who was talking to the First Emperor couldn't help but stop talking and subconsciously observed the First Emperor's face. When he saw that there was no look of anger and blame on the First Emperor's face, instead there was a hint of pampering in his eyes. He was suddenly surprised and turned towards the main hall. Look at the door.

In so many years, this was the first time he saw someone dare to yell in front of the First Emperor.

I just don’t know which grandson can be so favored!

Walking into the back hall, Zhao Ying discovered that there was a pair of grandparents and grandsons sitting inside. He knew both of them. The old man was Wang Jian, the general of Wuchenghou who had the highest title in the Qin Dynasty. The silly boy below him, staring blankly at him, was his grandson Wang Li, one of the two pillars of the late Qin Dynasty alongside Zhang Han.

However, it now seems that this later big boss in the Qin Army is still just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.

What surprised Zhao Ying was that this time Hei didn't remind himself that the eldest father was receiving the ministers.

Zhao Ying didn't feel embarrassed when he saw an outsider. Instead, he happily stepped forward to greet him.

"I've met my uncle, I've met Old General Wang, Brother Wang Li——"

"You're welcome, young master——"

The First Emperor nodded slightly, and Wang Jian stood up and returned the salute.

Although he is the general of Wuchenghou, has outstanding achievements, and is a highly respected veteran of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Ying is the grandson of the First Emperor, and he will never lose these superficial etiquette.

Seeing his grandfather standing up to return the greeting, Wang Li quickly stood up as well.

"I've met the young master..."

Wang Li was still inconspicuous when he was sitting on his knees. When he stood up, Zhao Ying realized that this guy was almost as tall as himself. Moreover, compared with himself, this guy had broad shoulders and a thick back. He looked very strong. , I just don’t know if he will cry if I punch him.

Seeing this boy's dazed look, Zhao Ying couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.

The arrival of Zhao Ying obviously interrupted General Wang Jian's conversation, and he took the opportunity to stand up and leave.

"I remember that I haven't seen the old general for a long time. I miss him so much. Why rush back? Why don't we stay and have lunch together..."

When the First Emperor invited him, Wang Jian could only bow and thank him and sit back down again.

Naturally, a maid came forward to place tableware for several people, and then bowed and stepped back. Without the First Emperor's greeting, Zhao Ying stood up very consciously, opened the food box, and first presented a large plate of dumplings to the First Emperor, and then set it to Old General Wang Jian. One plate.

As for Wang Li, of course he would eat from the earthen pot with him.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it looks a bit ugly and the utensils it contains are not very high-end.

This was thanks to his large appetite and the fact that he brought a lot of food, so it was not a big problem to feed two people. At most, he could eat a few more kilograms of mutton when he went back.

"This is……"

The First Emperor looked at the steaming dumplings in front of him with some surprise, and his tone was uncertain.

"This is my new way to eat it. Lamb and leek dumplings taste good. If you think it's too greasy, you can also eat it with fermented garlic or garlic..."

Xiang is the vinegar of the Qin Dynasty. Although the taste may not be as good as that of later generations, people do not have the technology and hard work, so at least it is safe to eat.

In fact, there is no need for him to explain whether it tastes good or not, because the dumplings with mutton and chives are delicious in themselves. General Wang and the First Emperor were better. Wang Li, the good-for-nothing boy, had already begun to swallow his saliva uncontrollably.

"Go, prepare some minced garlic and garlic for me -"

The First Emperor waved his hand, and soon a maid came over with fermented rice wine and garlic. Zhao Ying used a small plate to prepare a portion for each person, and divided out a few cloves of garlic.

"Come, old general, let's try this kid's craftsmanship together..."

Seeing Zhao Ying retreating to his seat, the First Emperor made a gesture of invitation to Wang Jian, then took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, picked one up and put it into his mouth, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's delicious! It tastes delicious - come on, old general, try to see if it suits your taste..."

In fact, at Wang Jian's age and status, he has little desire for food. Besides, in this big world, what kind of delicacies have not been eaten?

But he still accepted the First Emperor's hospitality.

After saying thank you, he also picked up the chopsticks, picked one up and put it into his mouth.

Ok?

Ah!

Wang Jian couldn't help but also his eyes lit up.

Although I don’t know what the milky white shell of this dumpling is made of, it is like an army, perfectly surrounding and sealing the aroma of mutton and the freshness of leeks, without leaking out at all, but giving it a hint of itself. The aroma of mutton and the umami flavor of leeks.

"It's really delicious! Young Master, you have good methods and good thoughts!"

Wang Jian praised him sincerely.

The First Emperor couldn't help laughing.

"There's no need to praise him, old general. This brat has no future and just focuses on eating..."

As soon as the First Emperor and Wang Jian ate here, the hall was immediately filled with the aroma of mutton and leek dumplings. Wang Li couldn't help it anymore and immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

He had never been poisoned by such delicious food. He couldn't help it after just one bite.

The wind and the remaining clouds——

No one could hold it back. The First Emperor and Wang Jian had just started to liquidate...

Then, his eyes kept drifting towards the big earthen jar over by Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying: ...

Are you reincarnated as a starving ghost?

Wang Li's way of eating made Wang Jian feel slightly embarrassed. This child was so embarrassing. How could he eat like this in front of His Majesty?

But the First Emperor smiled and didn't care, and nodded approvingly.

"Young people are full of vitality, so they should be more relaxed, otherwise they will be like us old men, sluggish and hesitant, what's the point-"

Then he said to Wang Li.

"Little guy, don't be restrained. If you like to eat, eat more. I like young people like you who are full of energy and have no scruples..."

Listening to what the First Emperor seemed to mean, Wang Jian lowered his eyes and concentrated on eating.

Well, these dumplings are so delicious!

Although Zhao Ying complained about Wang Li's eating speed and appetite, he couldn't really refuse to eat. But the problem was that he also had a big appetite.

This guy is like stealing his own food!

Well, let’s go back and find time to have a good fight.

Although Wang Jian had no intention of speaking, the First Emperor seemed not ready to let him go so easily.

He picked up a dumpling, dipped it skillfully in the small plate with the dumplings, and looked at Wang Jian who was concentrating on handling the dumplings.

"General Wang, how do you think I should handle General Ren Xiao's memorial..."

Ren Xiao?

When Zhao Ying heard this, his ears immediately pricked up.

He knew this person very well. After Tu Sui, the commander in charge of the Lingnan attack, died in battle, Ren Xiao was the one who succeeded Tu Sui. It was under the leadership of Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo that Great Qin was able to unify Lingnan, and from then on, this land was completely included in the territory of China.

Over the years, he served as Nanhai County Lieutenant, controlled Nanhai, Xiangjun, and Guilin counties in Lingnan, and built Panyu City near today's Cangbian Road. He made great contributions to opening up and stabilizing Lingnan, and he has made outstanding achievements.

Unfortunately, when war broke out in the Qin Dynasty and the world was in chaos, he led an army of 50, and together with Zhao Tuo chose to separatize Lingnan and wait and see what happened, becoming an accomplice to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

What's even worse is that after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Ren Xiao died of illness, and without the deterrence of the Qin Dynasty, and the restraint of Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo finally revealed his wolf ambitions, completely let himself go, and killed the Qin Dynasty and placed him in the South China Sea. The county officials replaced themselves with their cronies, closed the door, and became their own local emperors.

Therefore, when Ren Xiao was mentioned, he couldn't help but pay attention.

It took me a long time to figure it out. It turned out that it was Ren Xiao who had sent a memorial, claiming that he was sick and wanted to be transferred back to Xianyang to recuperate. He asked the First Emperor for permission. In the memorial, he also specifically mentioned Zhao Tuo, saying that Zhao Tuo had a tough temperament and was good at work. He is cautious and thoughtful, knows military affairs, and is good at relationships with various ethnic groups in South Vietnam. He may be a replacement.

Anyway, I want to go home.

Zhao Ying remembered that Ren Xiao had been seriously ill for about a few years, so what he said this time should be true. If we could take this opportunity to bring back Ren Xiao or even Zhao Tuo, wouldn't everyone be happy?

It's a pity that Ren Xiao is probably really tired of staying in Lingnan. In the past few years, he has been writing letters requesting to come back every now and then. The First Emperor is probably a little immune to it. For some reason, the First Emperor has never allowed it.

When the First Emperor asked, Wang Jian knew he couldn't hide, so he could only sigh secretly, put down his chopsticks, and said with his hands.

"I don't know, but the situation in Lingnan is complicated. Looking at the whole court, except for General Ren Xiao, there seems to be no better candidate for the time being. The veteran believes that it is better to send famous doctors with good medicine to Lingnan to diagnose and treat General Ren Xiao. , maybe it can relieve His Majesty’s worries..."

Not hearing the answer he wanted, the First Emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He wanted to use Wang Ben, but he had the same temper as the old general Wang Jian. He had been shrinking back since he led the army to destroy Qi. In recent years, he even claimed to be ill and refused to go out to work again.

I can tolerate this world, but I can’t tolerate just one of you, the Wang family?

However, the Wang family has outstanding achievements, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the family of the most outstanding heroes in the Qin Dynasty. They are dedicated to avoiding suspicion and protecting themselves, and they cannot force themselves.

Seeing that the First Emperor seemed to agree with Wang Jian's words, Zhao Ying suddenly felt anxious.

How can this work?

Ren Xiao must come back!

This is a matter of great importance to your wealth and life!

"Uncle, I remember General Ren and General Zhao have been in Lingnan for many years..."

The First Emperor didn't expect Zhao Ying to interrupt, so he glanced at Zhao Ying in surprise, but he didn't scold him. Instead, he felt moved and nodded.

"Yes, it has been more than ten years since 25 years ago..."

Zhao Ying considered his tone and tried to persuade him.

"Lingnan is located in a remote place. The place is hot and humid and full of miasma. General Ren Xiao is in his sixties and is in poor health. I feel that letting him guard Lingnan for a long time is not a long-term solution-"

Having said this, Zhao Ying secretly observed the First Emperor's face and saw that he had no bad reaction, then he continued.

"Besides, General Ren is getting old. He misses his hometown and cares about his wife and children. It is human nature to want to enjoy a happy family life like General Wang. Why don't you grant General Ren's little wish? …”

Wang Jian: ...

He couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Zhao Ying. He always felt that there was something in this little guy's words that contained something about him. Zhao Ying raised his head and gave him a bright smile.

"Old General Wang, do you think..."

Wang Jian:! ! ! ! ! !

Why didn't I find this piece of shit so annoying before?

The First Emperor had always respected him, and he had never forced himself on anything, and he had never tried to express his words like this bitch, so he almost didn't know what to say for a moment.

I could only smile.

"Young Master is kind and kind..."

Give him a non-committal.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying didn't ask any more questions, and the First Emperor didn't mean to embarrass himself any more, which made him secretly relieved. At this time, he already had some regrets about coming here.

However, the First Emperor sent someone to find him, saying that he was going to discuss with him the marriage between his grandson Wang Li and the eldest daughter of the young master Jianglu, so he had to come.

Ugh--

For a moment, he felt that even the mutton and leek dumplings in front of him were not so fragrant.

Only Wang Li, a good guy, was busy working on his meal and didn't notice the confrontation between his eldest father and Zhao Ying. In fact, Zhao Ying had no intention of confronting him, but he was angry that this old guy was only focusing on keeping a low profile and had a bad idea, suggesting that the First Emperor should not transfer Ren Xiao back.

Let history repeat itself?

This is simply planting a minefield in one's own backyard. I can't bear it!

If Ren Xiao were to defend Lingnan as he did in history, Da Qin would almost cut off an arm and lose its 50 main army. That was not an ordinary army of 50 people, but the real soldiers of the old Qin, the people of the old Qin with upright and prosperous roots!

The true elites who participated in the battle to unify the world and wipe out the Six Kingdoms were the foundation of the Qin Kingdom, not the rabble that Zhang Han temporarily mobilized.

This is all his family's wealth, and Zhao Ying really doesn't want to give it up.

If he hadn't time traveled too late and was not the right age, he himself would have wanted to take the initiative to go to Lingnan to develop and run business. Apart from anything else, with his status as the eldest grandson of the First Emperor and his foresight as a time traveler, he would not have let him go. This 50-strong army has become the private army of outsiders!

However, it was too much and Wang Jian did not respond. The First Emperor just nodded slightly and changed the subject. He could not talk about the autumn hunting tomorrow.

Because of this, Wang Jian didn't have much intention to linger. Soon after, he stood up and left.

The First Emperor and Zhao Ying personally escorted him out of the entrance of the hall and said goodbye to Wang Jian.

"I remember that it has been a long time since I went out hunting with the old general. I remember to bring this little guy over tomorrow and let me see his skills..."

"Old minister, I obey..."

Wang Jian took Wang Li away. The First Emperor stood on the steps and watched the figures of Wang Jian's ancestors and grandchildren disappear. Then he turned with deep eyes and looked at Zhao Ying who was standing next to him.

The eyes were scrutinizing, just like meeting Zhao Ying for the first time, making Zhao Ying feel uneasy and even a little bit hairy.

"Tell me, why do you want to get Ren Xiao back - don't talk to me about human nature and family happiness..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Ah, this-

Was it that obvious what I just showed?
