my grandfather was qin shi huang

In the painting, Gai Nie carries a broad sword on his back, has a short beard and curly hair, stands tall and straight, his eyes are like lightning, as if he is standing in front of him, Zhang Liang's heart suddenly goes cold.

With this portrait and the current interrogation methods of the government, Gai Nie would never be able to escape from the trap even if he had wings.

"If you don't want him to die, tell me now, what is his name and where is he now..."

Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Ying who was completely unfazed by Yun Danfengqing. He couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart and slowly lowered his head.

Soon, under the guidance of Zhang Liang, Xiong Hejing led a team of elite guards from the eldest son's residence and quickly surrounded a beautifully decorated guest house.

The cold arrowhead carries a soul-stirring cold light.

The "housekeeper" of the inn, that is, the innkeeper, ran out of it with a look of fear on his face.

"Master Jun, the shop has always behaved itself, and the "talisman", "test" and "pass" of all merchants are clear - what happened -"

The bear waved his hands seriously.

"It's okay. As ordered by the emperor's eldest grandson, please come and invite a friend to the house as a guest..."

Lao Sheren couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He looked again subconsciously, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, ready to attack. The impenetrable guards who surrounded his guest house secretly swallowed their saliva.

Well, it’s not about catching a thief, it’s about a treat!

Zhang Liang looked at the surrounded inn and sighed. He cupped his hands at Xiong Hejing who followed him and whispered a few words. Xiong Hejing nodded slightly. Then he pushed aside the crowd and strolled in. .

After a while, Zhang Liang, with an ugly face, walked out of the guest house with a middle-aged man carrying a broad sword and looking unwilling.

Xiong gave a signal, and the guards rushed forward and handed over the broad sword on Genie's back.

Then with a big wave of his hand, he led his men and horses to retreat quickly.

By the time the Xianyang Order received the news, they realized that Xiong Hejing had already brought them back to the eldest son's residence. Lieutenant Xianyang, who had missed the opportunity, found out that it was the emperor's eldest grandson who was inviting friends. He didn't want to ask any more questions and went back with a wave of his hand.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he himself believes it and firmly believes it.

What's wrong with the emperor's grandson inviting a friend to make more noise?

Very reasonable!

……

The emperor's eldest grandson, you went to great lengths to capture us without even asking a single question. Is this reasonable?

Obviously, unreasonable!

Looking at this place, there were no windows, only a table and a bed, and there seemed to be a bedpan in the corner. Other than that, it was completely empty. Zhang Liang felt that it was simply inexplicable.

You ask me, you come and ask me, I have already thought of a lot of excuses along the way, but in the end, without even asking, I just brought you here——

"Isn't there anything the emperor's eldest grandson wants to ask me..."

Before entering the room, even though Zhang Liang was calm by nature, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"The young master just ordered me to rest here and reflect on my past actions..."

Quite polite!

This result surprised him greatly.

Shouldn't he be arrested and presented to the First Emperor for reward?

what's going on……

But even if Zhang Liangxuan calmed down, what could be worse than handing himself over to the First Emperor?

No!

Therefore, he calmly adjusted his clothes and walked into the room calmly. Behind him, there was a bang, the door was closed tightly, and all the light suddenly dimmed.

After a while, Zhang Liang slightly adapted to the light in the room, walked to the bed beside him, lay down leisurely, rested his hands on his pillow, looked at the roof, and his thoughts gradually became empty.

This room is so quiet, you can even hear your own breathing clearly.

Although you are not free, it is a nice and clean place!

Not bad!

It depends on what tricks you want to use.

On the other side, Gai Nie was even calmer.

Zhang Liang has already gone too far with him. The matter this time has not been exposed, so there is nothing to worry about. Even if Zhang Liang is guilty of assassinating the First Emperor, it has nothing to do with him. He is just passing through Xianyang, by the way. Visited a friend.

Is it okay to visit friends?

Therefore, he sat cross-legged on the bed very calmly and closed his eyes to rest.

Anyway, I have nothing to do with them. Someone will always find a way to rescue me very quickly. If I go faster, even that big thing won't be delayed!

……

Catching Zhang Liang, who assassinated the First Emperor, must be a great achievement.

If he had just traveled through time, Zhao Ying would have escorted him personally to the First Emperor without hesitation. What else could be more likely to attract the First Emperor's attention than this, so as to enter the First Emperor's sight and win the First Emperor's favor?

but now--

He felt that a living Zhang Liang was more useful to him than a dead Zhang Liang. After all, Zhang Liang could be considered one of the top counselors of this era.

Of course, the most important thing is that no one knows yet that the seemingly harmless Zhang Liang who is now living in Xianyang was the mastermind behind the assassination of the First Emperor in Bolangsha.

Back then, the assassin who assassinated the First Emperor with a large iron spine in his hand died on the spot, but Zhang Liang, who was responsible for planning the incident, escaped unscathed. The First Emperor was furious, so he took the opportunity to launch a large-scale purge of the remaining remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Henan County, and countless people were killed as a result.

In this case, both the informed and the uninformed remained silent on the matter.

Therefore, although Zhang Liang became famous among the remnants of the Six Kingdoms after this incident, very few people actually knew and had seen him, and Zhang Liang himself would not show off in all directions.

Now, this is the world of the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor is at the height of his power.

Otherwise, Hu Hai wouldn't have the guts to recruit such a retainer.

As for Gai Nie, it was purely a matter of hunting rabbits - an unexpected gain.

Just keep it closed for now. You won’t waste a few bowls of rice anyway.

As long as he didn't foolishly admit that he already knew that Zhang Liang was the mastermind behind the assassination of the First Emperor, even if the First Emperor discovered him one day, it wouldn't matter much.

After all, compared to himself, the emperor's eldest grandson, in the eyes of the First Emperor, what did Zhang Liang and Gai Nie mean?

Just ants!

Therefore, Zhao Ying turned around and threw this matter aside. He returned to the back garden and continued to practice archery, horse riding, and battlefield fighting skills. Everything was unpredictable. He didn't know how the situation would develop in the end, but You must prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario.

As for the matter of my father’s return——

What's there to say? Anyway, he can't stay in Xianyang, and he will probably have to leave after a while - ahem, he will have to set off back to Shangjun.

When father and son are fighting, what can I do as a grandson?

When he comes back, just prepare a table of good food for him!

……

Just when Zhao Ying led his men and locked Zhang Liang and Gai Nie in small black rooms respectively, the eldest son Fusu's carriage had already entered the gate of Xianyang Palace.

Walking towards the carriage and looking at the towering Xianyang Palace, Fusu couldn't help but take a deep breath, straighten his clothes and climb up the stairs.

The guards on both sides saluted silently.

In the main hall, the First Emperor was condescending, watching his son walking slowly and steadily, the sigh deep in his eyes flashed away.

"My son, Fusu, would like to pay your respects to Your Majesty——"

The First Emperor glanced at the eldest son, who was obviously much darker and thinner than a month ago. He wanted to scold him directly, but his words turned into a silent accusation.

"You didn't stay well in Shangjun to supervise the army, and you didn't get the order, but you returned to Xianyang privately. Why..."

Without the edict, he returned privately.

This was clearly about accountability. When the officials in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but stare at Fusu, the eldest son who was tired of life. Many ministers who were close to the eldest son felt their hearts tightening and broke into a cold sweat for Fusu.

Looking at the First Emperor with a cold expression and more obvious white hair on his temples, Fusu bowed deeply again.

"My son, I came here for the purpose of Shangjun's prophecy..."

Although Fusu is stubborn, he is not stupid. He returned to Xianyang in person for Shangjun's prophecy. This is a legitimate official business of the court. If not, it is a serious crime of leaving his post without permission. Even if he is the eldest son, he will not be exempted from accountability according to the court law. .

The First Emperor nodded slightly and remained calm.

"In this case, you have already investigated the cause of the matter and caught the villain..."

"After the incident, Governor Yan and General Wang Ben and I visited Qingshipi in person and urgently sealed off the nearby villages, but no trace of the traitor was found..."

Having said this, Fusu took a deep breath and looked up at the aloof First Emperor.

"The local head of Guizhou has lived in a bitter and cold borderland for a long time, and is often threatened by the Xiongnu. This is the foundation for our Qin Dynasty to enrich the frontier fortress. As honest and responsible people, I come here this time just to ask for your majesty's kindness, to be open-minded and to provide …”

"For what..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, his voice full of teasing.

The Prime Minister on the right, Feng Quji, and the Prime Minister on the left, Li Si, look at the nose with their eyes, and look at the heart with their noses. Meng Yi, the Shang Qing, hesitated to speak, while Shi Teng looked at the eldest son who was still talking with sympathy, sighing silently in his heart. Take a breath.

My eldest son, you have been careless this time!

That young master of your family has solved this matter long ago...

The others didn't know that the prophecy had come to an end, and they thought that the First Emperor was extremely angry at this time. They couldn't help but look at the eldest son Fusu with complicated expressions, who refused to back down.

Conscientious, the eldest son Fusu has a generous temperament, benevolence and love for others, a courteous and virtuous corporal, and a heroic and determined character. He has his own impressive personality charm. If he didn't have a heart for those Confucian disciples who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but are actually pedantic and rigid, and do not understand the laws. He is truly the perfect successor to the Qin Dynasty.

but now--

Many people sighed silently in their hearts.

Seeing that Fusu wanted to say more, the First Emperor waved his hand impatiently.

"Shangjun's prophecy will be handled by its own department. As a supervisor, you disobey the edict and leave your post without permission. You should be severely punished, but I think you are still serious about your work on weekdays. Shangjun is also an important border area. You have a heavy responsibility, so I will give you another chance. Go back to Shangjun immediately. Without my order, you will not be allowed to return for the rest of your life..."

After the First Emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the guards on both sides rushed up and drove the eldest son Fusu directly out of the hall.

In the distance, everyone can still hear Fusu's unwilling voice.

"Your Majesty, the people of Shangjun are innocent..."

First Emperor:……

I pinched my temples feebly. This son is really a headache. If Ying'er was half as sensible and well-behaved, I wouldn't be so tired.

Helping Su into the palace has already been known to everyone, let alone an old man like Meng Wu in the court?

Although he could not stop the eldest son from entering the palace, he waited outside the palace gate early.

"Old minister Meng Wu, I have met the eldest son——"

Seeing Fusu being half-carried out of Xianyang Palace by two guards in front of the palace, Meng Wu knew that his eldest son had unexpectedly suffered another blow. He sighed in his heart and rushed forward to salute.

Fusu turned around and returned the greeting meticulously.

"Old general, you're fine—"

Looking at Fusu, who was frowning and obviously much thinner than before, Meng Wu sighed helplessly.

"Eldest Young Master, Young Master has solved the matter prophesied by Shangjun - this time, you really don't have to come back..."

Fusu: ...

After listening to Meng Wu vividly telling him how his son exposed the trick of writing words on stones in front of everyone in the main hall, Fusu's expression was extremely exciting.

So, my trip was in vain?

But the matter in Shangjun was finally solved perfectly. It was a blessing after all, but it only caused suffering for the sorcerers and Mohist students.

Fusu sighed silently in his heart.

I know that it is a stroke of luck that the matter can be resolved to this extent.

Although the First Emperor told him to go back to Shangjun, he didn't say when he would go back. Therefore, since he had returned to Xianyang, there was no need for him to learn the trick of staying out of the house three times.

After briefly greeting the old general Meng Wu and the courtiers who were waiting for him outside the palace gate with Meng Wu, Fusu got on the carriage and walked home.

He was actually a little eager to see his son.

After just being away for more than a month, even when I was far away in Shangjun, I heard his legends in my ears. As an old man, I didn't even know that my son was so outstanding!

Thinking about it, I feel so ashamed!

……

Mr. Fusu's Mansion.

Zhao Ying deliberately finished his exercise for a while and returned to his small courtyard. After washing up and changing into fresh clothes, he walked towards the small courtyard where his mother lived.

Mi Ji, who had received the news of Fusu's return to Xianyang, was surprised, happy, and a little worried, fearing that her husband would go to the palace and quarrel with His Majesty.

But this didn't stop her from being excited.

After all, my husband is back!

The originally spotless Prince Fusu's mansion was cleaned again by her commanding her servants, and then she led Zhao Qi and Zhao Xi to wait in the front yard with expectant faces.

"Go to the back garden to see if the eldest son is done with his work. When he is done, ask him to come over quickly..."

Before Zhao Ying arrived, he heard his grandma ordering someone to call him in the yard. He couldn't help but laugh and walked in.

"Grandma, I'm here..."

She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw her eldest son's calm smile, she relaxed inexplicably and felt a little more reliable.

"Your Aweng has been in the palace for a long time, and I don't know if your eldest father will punish him..."

"Don't worry, grandma. It'll be fine. The most the eldest father can do is scold him a few times and then send him back to Shangjun. Everything will be fine..."

Mi Ji: ...

You call this okay? !

After successfully comforting his grandma, Zhao Ying turned around again and asked about his younger brother Zhao Qi's homework with a smile, which made Zhao Qi very nervous. Fortunately, this elder brother seemed to be in a good mood today, so he simply asked After checking the progress, he didn't check it as usual, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid of this big brother.
