my grandfather was qin shi huang

On the steps outside the second door, veteran general Wang Jian watched this scene quietly, his eyes a little sad and complicated. Looking at the proud little girl from the Li family who looked like a phoenix, riding a maroon war horse, holding a Changge upside down, walking away without looking back, she shook her head silently, then turned around and returned to the house with her hands behind her back. , for a moment, the figure on the back felt indescribably desolate.

Wang Li left the military camp to train new soldiers, and Zhao Ying turned around and went to Zhangtai Palace.

Along the way, while walking, he thought about the process of Li Shu's fight with him just now.

It shouldn't be. With just her own strength, how could Li Shu get rid of her attack so easily?

He was puzzled and kept reflecting on the process of his defeat just now.

Because of his photographic memory, thinking about it now, every detail of the fight between the two was replayed in his mind like a movie. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Li Shu's attack just now was used very cleverly.

From the force, to the trajectory, to the timing, compared with my own rough skills, they are more than a step above!

Great!

No wonder Xiaoni is so naughty.

As he walked, he pondered, pondered, and gestured subconsciously, savoring the beauty of Li Shu's move. Along the way, he felt that he had benefited a lot.

At the end, I was actually a little eager to try and wanted to go back and find Li Shu for another fight. I feel that if I try it again, I will definitely not lose so embarrassingly.

……

General Li Xin's mansion.

In the courtyard, Li Xin looked calmly at his daughter who had returned from riding horses again.

"how?"

"It's okay, not too stupid..."

Li Shu threw the war horse to the boy aside, walked to sit down opposite her husband, poured a cup of tea by herself, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing his Aweng looking at him calmly, he had no choice but to add reluctantly.

"In the second round, he started to imitate my attacks. Judging from his posture, he should have already reached [-]-[-]%..."

When Li Xin heard this, his eyes lit up, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He knows his daughter's temperament. Her eyesight has been higher than her head since she was a child. She said she has seven or eight points, but maybe she already has eight or nine points? After watching it once, you can perform eight or nine points. This is more than just a genius!

This is simply a monster!

This shows that this person is not only talented and flexible, but also extremely talented and a good prospect.

Isn't this the talent that I, Li Xin, have been looking for for many years?

If I could cultivate a genius for Great Qin that surpassed myself, then I would be able to answer to His Majesty even if I died!

Thinking of this, the smile between his eyebrows grew more and more. At this moment, even the premature white hair on the temples seemed to have a bit of gleaming luster.

"Tomorrow, you go again - test him with the second form..."

Toolman Li Shu:...

……

Zhao Ying didn't know that there was a legendary military god of the Qin Dynasty who was secretly watching him. He was making gestures all the way and he was free to rein in the horse. Unknowingly, he had already reached the Zhangtai Palace.

It wasn't until he heard Zhao Gao greeting him that he suddenly realized that Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, was holding an inconspicuous carriage and standing in front of the palace gate, greeting him respectfully.

"Young Master, please--"

Zhao Ying nodded slightly, threw the war horse and Changge to the guards in front of the palace gate, and then turned around and boarded the carriage. Then he found that the First Emperor and Hei Zao had changed into regular clothes and were sitting in the carriage waiting for him.

"Father, are we going out?"

Zhao Ying sat down opposite the First Emperor and asked casually while looking up and down at the decorations in the car.

"Take you to the west of the city to watch a lively event..."

The First Emperor closed his eyes happily.

"This is Mr. Chunyu Yue. It is said that today he will give public lectures at his residence by the stream in the west of the city. Many scholars in Xianyang have gone there..."

Hei added with a smile.

Zhao Ying understood clearly.

Confucianism and Mohism are now the most prominent schools besides Legalism, and they have a great influence on the people. Mr. Chun Yuyue's moral articles are even more famous all over the world and highly respected by the world.

In particular, Confucianism advocated the way of the ancestors, opposed counties and counties, encouraged enfeoffment, advocated benevolent government, opposed tyranny, and repeatedly wrote to the court demanding the abolition of harsh government and cruel laws, which made him even more famous.

Behind him, not only were many Confucian students following him, but there were also many remnants of the Six Kingdoms with different ideas who were secretly supporting the old gentleman.

Now, after the news spread that this old gentleman was going to give public lectures at Xishui Caotang in the west of the city, there was an undercurrent in Xianyang City, and many people were running to build momentum for it.

In fact, many people are secretly watching the news about Xianyang Palace.

I want to know what attitude the person in Xianyang Palace has towards this lecture.

In fact, Zhao Ying was also very curious about this lecture. He wanted to know how Chunyu Yue would change after listening to his advice.

West of the city.

Xishui Thatched Cottage.

It is located on a hillside, not far away from a small stream connected with Fengshui, with the wind at its back and the sun rising, and the environment is quite quiet. Obviously, the support of some people is indispensable for Mr. Chunyu Yuelao and others to settle here. .

At this time, most of the people who came to attend the lecture were scholars wearing long robes.

There are old and young, and combinations like Zhao Ying and Shi Huang are not conspicuous in the crowd.

Several people got off the carriage far away, found a place with dry grass behind their skirts, sat down cross-legged, and listened quietly to Mr. Chun Yuyue's lecture in front of them.

"The great unification of the Spring and Autumn Period is the eternal scripture of heaven and earth, and the link between ancient and modern times."

"The Spring and Autumn Period means one yuan. One is the beginning of all things... It means one is the yuan. It regards the great beginning as the origin."

After listening for a while, Zhao Ying couldn't help but look strange.

Because what Chunyu Yue said seemed familiar to him, and he had read it out of curiosity in his previous life.

"Spring and Autumn Dew" by Dong Zhongshu!

Although there are some differences in some places, the general idea remains the same.

At this time, Chunyu Yue was talking about the idea of ​​great unification.

So, is this because his letter changed Confucianism in advance and began to actively move closer to the imperial power?

Many people in the crowd had frowned, but Mr. Chunyu Yue was profound in knowledge and highly respected, so the situation below was not out of control.

Many people are carefully pondering the meaning of Chunyu Yue's words.

However, it can be expected that after this lecture, this small Xishui Thatched Cottage will inevitably become the whirlpool of public opinion in the Qin Empire, setting off a storm of public opinion sweeping the country.

The Qin Dynasty swept across the world and destroyed the six kingdoms. Was it an atrocity, injustice, or the general trend?

This is a legal dispute!

The First Emperor obviously did not expect that Chun Yuyue would change so drastically, from being a vanguard who opposed him to a leader in maintaining the legitimacy of Qin's unification.

"Whose hand did that letter come from? It had such a far-reaching impact..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"What letter..."

Zhao Ying, who was listening with great interest to Chun Yuyue's explanation of the inevitability and legitimacy of Qin's unification of the world with classic meanings, did not notice what the First Emperor said, and turned his head to look at the First Emperor with some surprise.

"It's a strange book..."

Black introduced in a low voice from the side.

"The person who wrote the book is a strange man who lives in seclusion in the world. He is amazing in talent and learning. Chunyu Yue's transformation today should be mostly due to that strange man..."

Zhao Ying suddenly realized.

No wonder!

If you didn’t tell me, I would have thought it was me!

However, no matter who it is, it is always a good thing for this old thing to change. After all, although the Confucianism of later generations had many shortcomings, it still had some advantages in being loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and taking the world as its own responsibility.

While he was thinking about it, Mr. Chunyu Yue had already finished today's lecture.

A free debate began.

Many people came forward one after another and started a heated debate with Chunyu Yue. However, it was obvious that during this period, Chunyu Yue had already formed his own set of opinions. He talked and refuted one by one without any hurry. Not falling behind at all.

At this time, Zhao Ying discovered that Mr. Chunyu Yue was not only surrounded by a group of Confucian students, but also some men wearing long robes, but with thick joints and cold eyes. Chunyu Yue was on the high platform of the hidden guardian.

Zhao Ying subconsciously glanced at the First Emperor and Hei next to him, then silently withdrew his gaze.

Ok.

As long as you are happy!

After about half an hour, Chun Yuyue, who was sitting at the front desk, finally stood up and began to say goodbye to the people around him. Although many people still had something to say, Mr. Chun Yuyue already looked tired, so they couldn't get too entangled.

Moreover, Mr. Chun Yuyue's lecture today obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Many people want to go back and think carefully about what consequences this change will have, and what should be done in this upcoming crisis. How to deal with academic and political storms.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and Mr. Chunyu Yue led a group of disciples and walked towards the First Emperor.

Obviously, people had already discovered the arrival of the First Emperor and others.

The First Emperor was not surprised. After all, as a doctor, Chun Yuyue had served as a servant in the court for a long time and was no stranger to him and Zhao Gao.

"Your Majesty, I am unable to welcome you from far away, so please forgive me..."

The First Emperor looked at Chun Yuyue who was leading his disciples and saluting him respectfully. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a smile. He took half a step forward and helped Chun Yuyue up with his own hands.

"Old sir, you don't need to be too polite. Your ethics and knowledge are among the best in the country. Now that you are willing to stay here in Xianyang to give lectures, I feel very happy. If you need anything in the future, just ask the court..."

With that said, the First Emperor glanced around.

"After all, this place is a bit crude - I intend to designate the five-mile radius of this place as a Confucian forest and build a school palace here for the old gentleman to promote Confucian teachings. What do you think..."

"On behalf of all the students in the world, I would like to thank your Majesty for your generosity..."

Chunyu Yue knew that this was the Emperor's reciprocation.

With this first step, he had successfully gained the approval of the First Emperor!

When I think about it, I have spent my whole life, even regardless of personal safety, but failed to revitalize Confucianism, but almost brought Confucianism into a desperate situation.

Looking at it now, I just followed the trend and made a few changes based on the guidance of the experts, and immediately received the approval of the First Emperor. I couldn't help but have mixed feelings in my heart, and almost shed tears on the spot.

"I have the understanding I have today only because of the guidance of experts..."

After Chunyu Yue finished speaking, he led a group of disciples and bowed deeply towards the direction where Zhao Ying's letter had been received.

"If we can find this person, Chunyu Yue should teach him as a teacher——"

Zhao Ying: ...

Ah, this-

Old gentleman, why is this so!

However, fortunately I had a plan and did it covertly, otherwise this would have been so embarrassing.

When the First Emperor heard this, he immediately waved his hands cheerfully.

"It's easy to handle at this time. I have ordered Heibingtai to investigate. I believe that the results will come out in the near future. By then, if the old gentleman is interested, you may wish to come with me to visit..."

"So good—"

Chunyu Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed deeply to the First Emperor again.

Zhao Ying: ...

Can this be found?

Shouldn't it be...

"Ahem - I don't think it's necessary, right? Dad, I think since they don't want to show up, we might as well just forget it. Why force others to do something difficult? It's not sweet to force yourself - "

Zhao Ying persuaded with a smile.

Shi Huang glanced at him.

"Nonsense, how can such talents be allowed to wander among the people - remember, as an emperor, the most important thing is to recruit talents, select talents, and use them for your own use..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Okay, Dad, everything you said is right!

on the way back.

The First Emperor's mood improved a lot. This was the first theory among hundreds of scholars, except the Legalists, to try to legally recognize the legitimacy of the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.

For him, who was a little upset because of the rumors spread by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms a few days ago, this was tantamount to a shot in the arm.

Because of this, when Zhao Ying proposed that each of his recruits should be equipped with two horses, the First Emperor agreed without even raising his eyebrows.

The refreshing energy surprised Zhao Ying.

Back to Zhangtai Palace.

It was already noon. Zhao Ying looked at the sky and went to the kitchen in person to order a pot of shredded pork noodles for the First Emperor. The steaming hot shredded pork noodles were sprinkled with a handful of green onions and tender leeks, which was fragrant and fragrant.

"Let's all come together..."

The First Emperor was probably in a really good mood, and even Hei and Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Chef House, dipped their toes and ate a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

This was the first time that Zhao Gao tasted Zhao Ying's craftsmanship.

Holding the bowl, he carefully took a bite, and his eyes lit up.

Really delicious!

A bowl of shredded pork noodles was eaten cleanly, not even the soup was watery, not a single chive flower was left.

Zhao Ying glanced at him cheerfully.

"CRRC Fu Ling, do you want another bowl?"

Although he wanted to do it again, Zhao Gao still smiled humbly and rejected Zhao Ying's kindness. In front of the First Emperor, he was always humble and prudent, not daring to go overboard in the slightest. He would always be in awe of the First Emperor's grace.

When Zhao Ying saw his refusal, he stopped persuading him.

How much is left, just tell me.

Even so, he asked the imperial kitchen to serve him another twenty pounds of roasted venison.

The First Emperor's kitchen was fully equipped with all kinds of precious spices, but the cooks didn't know how to use them. Zhao Ying also wanted to give them guidance, hoping that they could make more delicious meals for the First Emperor, so he stayed in the kitchen to give them guidance for a while.

These people had already heard that Emperor Sun Ying was good at cooking delicious food, and today they saw Zhao Ying making the appetizing shredded pork noodles with their own eyes, and they were already impressed.

Therefore, when grilling meat, I almost obeyed what I was told, and when the venison was grilled, I was even more shocked.

Although the barbecue was very fragrant, the First Emperor and Hei could no longer eat much. They simply tasted it and then watched Zhao Ying sitting there, eating in a hurry.

"Young Master is indeed young, your appetite is really enviable..."

Seeing Zhao Ying eating so much, Hei couldn't help but sigh.

"Every time I see this brat eating, I feel like I have a huge appetite and can eat more than usual..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but joke, and Zhao Ying burst out laughing.

"That's great, Dad. I will come over to eat with you every day from now on..."

Looking at the grandfather and grandson talking and laughing freely, Zhao Gao lowered his eyes silently.

The First Emperor's favor is getting worse and worse, and if things continue like this, it may not be a good thing. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think to himself, counting the days, the eldest son must have received the letter from the eighteenth son.

Why, no movement yet?

According to the temperament of the eldest son, shouldn’t it?

Because of something in my heart, when I returned to Hu Hai at night, Zhao Gao was a little bit unwilling.

PS: I originally wanted to write three chapters, but it was released today. The results were not good, and my mood was a bit affected. I wrote two chapters, so I won’t split them. I will combine them into one. It will be more refreshing to read.
