Good Life in Qin Dynasty

The empress dowagers of the two palaces have not summoned Li Jiyang for a long time.

It was Li Jiyang who took the initiative to go over to greet them both.

Li Jiyang didn't know what was going on when he was summoned suddenly this time!

Could it be that the ambiguity with Ying Zheng was discovered?

Someone's grandmother came to the door?

Oh, no, it was his grandmother looking for him?

It's not right, if people really know about it, what else are you looking for?

Either a glass of poisoned wine ended him... On this point, Li Jiyang believes that they dare not, and they can't. Now he is an "important" figure in Qin.

Or just pretend not to know... This is very possible!

On the way, I met Ying Zheng, and Li Jiyang grabbed him: "Have you told them about us?"

"No!" Ying Zheng was also baffled: "I didn't even tell Auntie, let alone the two of them!"

"Really?" Li Jiyang was dubious.

"Of course, haven't you promised me yet?" Ying Zheng blinked innocently.

"Then why are they looking for me?" Li Jiyang was even more clueless.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." Ying Zheng took the opportunity to hold Li Jiyang's hand and walked forward: "With me here, they can't make trouble."

After so long, Ying Zheng and the two grandmothers are still not far or close, and they can't get close. On the contrary, his little brother, Fu Su, almost grew up under the doting of three women. If it weren't for the older brother Ying Zheng Grasping the scale will easily turn Fusu into a playboy.

Fortunately, this child's temperament is not bad, and he is very obedient.

When the two arrived at the place together, they were immediately announced.

However, the queen mothers of the two palaces did not smile when they saw Ying Zheng coming, which was a rare thing.

Sitting with Ying Zheng, Li Jiyang was as confused as the criminals under trial.

"Zheng'er, Xiaoyang, I heard that the Palace of Ci'an and the Palace of Compassion and Ning have been built?" The Empress Dowager Huayang spoke first.

"Yes, the roof has been capped, but you can't move in yet, and the inside needs to be tidied up." Li Jiyang said quickly, "It is necessary to tidy up the marble floor and the pillars."

"I heard that it has already been built?" The Queen Mother Xia Ji, who rarely spoke, also spoke.

"It has been completed, but the details still need to be continued." Li Jiyang replied quickly.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces looked even more ugly. Sitting there, Ying Zheng seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything.

"Xiaoyang, although it's a good thing to build a palace for us two old women to live in, but we can't just fool around!" The Empress Dowager Huayang was upset.

"Can the palace built in such a short period of time be able to accommodate people?" The Empress Dowager Xia Ji cut to the point: "Will it be very cold in winter, and will it leak when it rains in summer?"

"Maybe it collapsed while sleeping?" The Queen Mother Huayang was even more imaginative.

Li Jiyang finally understands, the construction of his palace is too fast, the queen mother of the two palaces thought it was a tofu project, and fooled them both!

Or he was trying to gain a good reputation at the beginning, and he didn't care about the quality issue at all!

"Where can it be!" Li Jiyang quickly explained: "The palace built for you two is made of the best materials, and the beams are made of thousand-year-old iron-spine wood!"

"Really?" Obviously, the queen mothers of the two palaces didn't believe it!

"It's true, Xiaoyang's cement, he used it for you two, the latest building materials, and the marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, spotless, he plans to pave the two palaces." Ying Zheng explained for Li Jiyang: "Because it is a new building material, after it is built, the palace will not be damaged for ten thousand years, and even repairs...well, maybe some repairs are needed, but definitely not much!! The house that can not be repaired , is a good house.”

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were dubious.

"Don't worry, both of you, after the completion of the project, you will know after seeing it!" Li Jiyang knew that it would be futile to say anything now, unless the two of them saw the result with their own eyes.

"Alright then." The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces had no other choice, the palace had already been built, and it would not be easy to take it apart.

Besides, the construction site was so surrounded that no one could even climb in and take a look... The guards were extremely strict.

Li Jiyang kept flattering the queen mothers of the two palaces, the two old ladies had nothing to do with him now, they could only trust him for the time being.

After having a snack here, the two left hand in hand and went straight to Zhao Ji's palace.

Because Li Jiyang suddenly remembered something, and the first thing he said when he saw Zhao Ji was: "Don't worry, godmother, when the construction of these two palaces is completed, I will build one for you too!"

"Build what?" Li Jiyang said inexplicably, but Zhao Ji didn't understand.

"Build a palace!" Li Jiyang said proudly: "When the time comes, I will use glazed tiles or glass tiles for Aniang's palace. You can see the sky as soon as you open your eyes!"

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously: "Did Xiao Yang drink too much?"

"No, I used some snacks at the Queen Mother's place, and didn't drink at all." Ying Zheng pulled Li Jiyang to sit down dumbfounded: "Auntie won't care about these things with you."

He knew that Li Jiyang felt that he had built a palace for the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and A Niang had nothing, and he felt sorry for it. In fact, A Niang really didn't care about these things.

Zhao Ji understood, and sighed: "It's enough to build the palaces of the two princes and queen mothers first. I heard some bad rumors, saying that the house was built like a thatched cottage...Is this true?" Is it too fast? At least build it for three to five years... that's fine!"

"Mother, you are thinking too much..." Li Jiyang's face was full of black lines: "The two palaces, as long as they are not destroyed by human beings, can stand for at least 800 years. If they are well maintained, it will not be difficult for [-] years. "

Zhao Ji obviously didn't believe it!

It was Ying Zheng who said, "Aniang, what Xiaoyang said is true. Don't listen to what those people say. They must have other motives. If anyone spreads random rumors, you can deal with them directly."

"Then... okay." Zhao Ji also had the same attitude as the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, thinking how good the palace built in such a short period of time could be?

The gossip in the harem never ceases, everyone doesn't say anything, but they must think in their hearts!

But Yingheng also comforted Li Jiyang: "Xiaoyang, don't worry, when the construction is completed, they will know how amazing the cement is!"

"Hmph!" Li Jiyang said viciously: "Facts speak louder than words!"

Ying Zheng nodded after hearing this: "Xiaoyang is really good!"

Okay, Li Jiyang took a deep breath, he must do a good job, if he doesn't count the splendor of the Ci'an Palace and the Compassionate Palace, he won't be finished!

After returning from the palace, Li Jiyang continued to watch the progress of the project. The ridge of the roof had already been raised, and the glazed tiles had also been transported. The glazed tiles were fired in the space by him, and they were particularly bright under his eyes.

The next day was a rest day, Li Jiyang didn't enter the palace, he could see the building situation in the palace at home, and then recorded his needs, so that he could let them go when he enters the palace next time.

While thinking about it, Yang Feiying came.

"My lord, someone is here." Yang Feiying reported to Li Jiyang as soon as he came in: "He's here to be a guest."

"Oh, Chunya!" Li Jiyang shouted.

Chunya popped up: "My lord."

"Changing clothes and combing my hair, I want to see a guest." Li Jiyang understood the rules, he had to go out at this time, and he had to show respect for the other party.

When Li Jiyang was fully dressed and went out with Yang Feiying, he asked Yang Feiying, "What's your name?"

"The visitor is from the state of Chu. It is said that he escaped from disaster. He has no family members, but he doesn't look very down-and-out, so he should be from a good family background." Yang Feiying and Li Jiyang reported as they walked, "His surname is Fan, and his first name is Zeng. "

Li Jiyang almost lay there alone: ​​"What did you say?"

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Yang Feiying helped him up.

"It's okay, I'm just a little surprised." Li Jiyang helped the hat on his head.

When we arrived at the lobby of the front yard, a middle-aged man was admiring the decoration of Li Jiyang's study. Although he was a commoner, he had a good temperament and a calm expression. He was not as surprised when he suddenly saw riches and honors, but he was very interested in Li Jiyang's decorations, especially It's the couplet.

"Mr. Fan." Yang Feiying called out to him.

When the middle-aged man looked back, he could not be called handsome, but he was very good-looking, with a gentle demeanor and clear eyes.

"This is Qin Anjun." Yang Feiying introduced them both: "This is Mr. Fan."

Li Jiyang swallowed.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands: "Zeng, see Qin Anjun."

Li Jiyang's head was buzzing!

I remember that there are records that Fan Zeng was born in 30 BC, that is, in the [-]th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, he was born.

He didn't die until [-] BC. The first thing he was praised for was his age. He was over [-] against the Qin Dynasty!

Fan Zeng is a native of Juchao (southwest of Chaohu Lake, Anhui today). He is usually at home and has a lot of tricks.When Chen Sheng revolted in Daze Township, he was seventy years old.

He was Xiang Yu's main adviser in the Peasant War at the end of Qin Dynasty, and was honored as "Yafu" by Xiang Yu.

In [-] BC (historically recorded as the first year of the Han Dynasty), he invaded Guanzhong with Xiang Yu and persuaded Xiang Yu to eliminate Liu Bang's forces, but was not adopted.

Later, at the Hongmen Banquet, he signaled Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang many times, and made Xiang Zhuang dance his sword, intending to take the opportunity to assassinate him, but he failed in the end.

This is the allusion of "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong".

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was trapped in Xingyang (today's northeast of Xingyang, Henan).

Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once wrote "Fan Zeng Lun".

It's just that whether it's unofficial history or official history, Fan Zeng's image is an old man full of wisdom. What about the current Fan Zeng?

At the age of 36, it is the prime time for men, and he is no longer a boy, without that drive, now he looks very mature and stable.

The most important thing is that he came to be his own guest!

"Fan Zeng? Nest dweller?" Li Jiyang subconsciously asked his name and place of residence.

"Exactly. I never thought that Qin Anjun would know my household registration." Fan Zeng was also surprised. It is true that he came to be a doorman, but he is not well-known now, and Qin Anjun actually knew him.

Juchao is also the Chaohu City of later generations, which belonged to southern Xinjiang during the Shang Dynasty, so it was named Nanchao.

"Book of History" Li Jiyang read it as early as the second day after he got it in his hands. He doesn't know why now, but he has a little memory. nest."

Zhou Shi is the nest (Bo) country.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a vassal state of Chu.

The fourth reaches Zhaoguan (now Hanshan County) in the east, Lujiang River in the west, Yangtze River in the south, and Chaohu Lake in the north.The country of Chao has been occupied by the country of Wu many times.

"Spring and Autumn" records: In the 12th year of Duke Ai of Lu ([-] B.C.), the "Guild of Wu in Luangao", that is, the fourth year of Zhegao Zhou Yuan Wang of the later generation ([-] B.C.), Yue destroyed Wu, Chao country is still in Chu.

That is to say, Fan Zeng is really from Chu State, no wonder he supported Xiang Yu back then!

"Your...cough cough...then what, please sit down, please sit down!" Li Jiyang really wanted to say, "Who doesn't know your name!"

But thinking of Fan Zeng at this time, he was not very famous yet.

"Thank you, Qin Anjun." Fan Zeng did not expect that the legendary Qin Anjun would be so young, he looked... as if he was underage.

But he didn't dare to underestimate Qin Anjun, a person who could make the rulers of the vassal states fear three points, and the four princes of the Warring States period did not have as much influence as him.

The most important thing is that he also has a mysterious and unpredictable sect. So far, as far as he knows, all the princes and states have been secretly investigating, but they have not touched the threshold of his sect.
