Longyang loves Qin

Although he doesn't have a title, other people can still call him "Yehou", so this is not a problem for Ye Yu at all.

However, after the imperial court, more people still gathered around Wang Jian to argue, because in their view, Wang Jian's title was more important. If it wasn't for Ye Yu's standard bonus, he would actually be half a rank lower than Wang Jian.

"Ye Hou, please stay." Zhao Gao walked over with a smile.

For some reason, Ye Yu had the feeling that it was so, so he stopped and turned around to look at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao came to him, of course, because Ying Zheng had something to do with him.Ye Yu smiled apologetically at the friends around him and the ministers who came to congratulate him, and followed Zhao Gao.

"You are a bit dark." Ying Zheng looked at Ye Yu carefully and said after seeing Ye Yu coming.

Is there?

Ye Yu lowered his head and looked at his hands. It was still the same color. He hadn't tanned much since he was a child. This time he went to the south to fight a war, and it rained for many days. How could he get tanned so quickly.

However, Ying Zheng had an expression that you were dark, so Ye Yu smiled and said, "I still think this complexion is too fair. If it is dark, it would be better to add a bit of masculinity." Appearance is always used to compare with women In comparison, if he is allowed to lean towards "beautiful" instead of "beautiful", he will probably be very happy.

Ying Zheng looked at him for a while, as if wondering how he looked tanned.

It was only at this time that Ye Yu realized that what he and Ying Zheng said seemed to be too close, not like a monarch and minister, but more like a friend.

He recalled it for a while, and thought it might be his own problem. Ying Zheng's condolences were very common, but he replied too casually, maybe... because Ying Zheng's attitude was also very casual, which made him relax subconsciously.

Before Ye Yu had time to ponder whether this phenomenon was good or bad, he heard Ying Zheng say, "I haven't figured out your title yet, but if you have any fief that you want, I will keep it for you first."

It turns out that besides thinking about it, his blank title also means free choice?

No matter how surprised he was in his heart, Ye Yu quickly put on a frightened expression, "I don't know when I will be able to become a Marquis, this..."

Ying Zheng interrupted him, unfolded a piece of leather, and signaled him: "It's just reserved for you first, so that I won't have to think about it in the future. Besides, if you don't succeed in the Jin Dynasty, this city is not yours." Yes. Come, come and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao took out a mat and placed it directly opposite Ying Zheng, with a few tables in between, which was probably the distance between the two sides when they were playing chess, "Yehou please."

Ying Zheng's words made Ye Yu feel more at ease. Seeing that Ying Zheng was not trying to test him, he followed his will and walked to the front mat and sat down.

The map took up about half of the desktop, and the names of the cities were all marked. Although Ye Yu knew that Yingzheng didn't look like a temptation, he was still cautious, glanced at him and replied, "Huizhong?"

Ying Zheng said displeased, "Too small."

Ye Yu choked, and said again: "Wu Yang?"

Ying Zheng was still dissatisfied, "It's too far away."

Ye Yuxin said: How dare I choose a rich and big place.

He had no choice but to compare it with Wu Cheng, pick a similar one and say, "Zheng County?" Zheng County is right next to Wu Cheng, and because of its location, this area cannot be sealed off all at once, and he is not worried that Wang Jian's land will be sealed off. Robbed.

Unexpectedly, it was clearly chosen according to Ying Zheng's taste, but Ying Zheng still shook his head, "It's not comparable to Jingyang and Liyang."

Ye Yu heard that Yingzheng originally wanted to choose one of these two places for him, and he was stunned. This is a big city comparable to Xianyang and very close, especially Liyang, which was more than 100 years ago. The capital of Qin State.

Ye Yu became highly vigilant in his heart. If it's just a matter of favoring a big city, it's just a favor. Ying Zheng now has few people under his command, and he also understands his position.But the place of Liyang cannot be sealed off casually, because most of the weapons of the Qin State are manufactured here, and even the army has a lot of power. .

Is Ying Zheng testing him?But why?To test his loyalty?

Ye Yu felt faintly cold in his hands and feet, and his expression became more and more submissive.

"How can I get such a city?" Ye Yu said with his head down.

Ye Yu thought he covered it up very well, but Ying Zheng, who had been paying attention to him, found something was wrong.

After Yingzheng was stunned for a moment, he also thought of the importance of Liyang, and guessed that Ye Yu had misunderstood his words. He looked at Ye Yu in front of him and said, "Look up and look at me."

Ye Yu did as he was told, his eyes did not reveal any emotion, his clear eyes reflected Ying Zheng's figure, but gave Ying Zheng a sense of alienation.

Ying Zheng sighed softly, and immediately explained the hesitant explanation: "The widow is not testing you." He was just giving an example, but Ye Yu was not expecting to be so wary.

Hearing Ying Zheng's blunt words, Ye Yu couldn't help showing a look of surprise, which was very shallow, but was caught by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything more, he frowned, his brows were a little tired, and his eyes were a little black.

Ye Yu knew that he was overthinking. He always regarded Yingzheng as Qin Shihuang, and he was always cautious in his heart. He even went too far, and declined Yingzheng's kindness more than once.Thinking about it now, Ying Zheng is still willing to treat him favorably...

His heart softened, and he felt quite guilty.

Since Ye Yu knew he was wrong, he naturally corrected it on the spot. His expression softened, and he apologized and said frankly: "It's Yu's villain's heart. The king will take back his grace because of this, right?"

Sensing the intimacy in his words, Ying Zheng stretched his brows, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "Ai Qing already has an idea?"

Ye Yu blinked and said, "I'm afraid the king will make a joke."

"But it's okay to say." Ying Zheng's mood suddenly improved.

Ye Yu said two words seriously, Ying Zheng paused, and then his smile widened.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng responded on the spot, "If you can defeat him, I will grant you a fief!"

Ye Yu bowed solemnly to thank you, then raised his head again, and said with a smile: "With such kindness from the king, if I can't beat you down, how can I have the face to see the king?"

Ying Zheng was in a good mood, so he took out another scroll of bamboo slips and unfolded it to him, "Ai Qing would like to know the situation of the battle in Chu."

"Of course I'm interested." Ye Yu, who poked someone else's basket, replied with a smile.

This time, it was no different than looking at a map. The battle reports were mostly engraved characters, which were not as easy to read as handwritten ones. Ye Yu leaned forward and carefully read the words on the bamboo slips.

"Mr. Chunshen actually established himself as a country." Ye Yu said in surprise.

According to what was written in the battle report, after Chunshen Jun integrated the army and power of Wu, he fought against Chu under the banner of restoring Huang, because he was originally a descendant of Huang, and Huang was indeed destroyed by Chu. Yes, this banner is barely aboveboard, and it can slightly cover up those dirty things in front of the people.

Not to mention, he took off the name of the rebels and has prestige, so there are quite a few people who surrender to him.

On the other hand, the King of Chu was so angry that he directly executed the three queens, and sent the equally popular Xiang Yan to lead an army to fight against Lord Chunshen.

"Xiang Yan..." Ye Yu immediately thought of his grandson, the famous Overlord of Chu. Unfortunately, he probably hasn't been born yet. I don't know if Liu Bang, Han Xin, Xiao He were born or not.

"Xiang Yan is a general of the Chu Dynasty. In terms of prestige, he is comparable to Lord Chunshen. In terms of popular support, he has a greater influence in the army. Lord Chunshen may not be able to get benefits this time." Yingzheng commented.

Ye Yu nodded, "No matter what, the state of Chu will definitely lose its vitality."

For Qin, which has been destroying other countries and wanting to dominate the world, this is a rare opportunity, but it is a pity that the Zhengguo Canal is still under construction, and they can only hope that the chaos of Chu will last longer.

The two sighed in unison, and after realizing this, they laughed together again, "It seems that Aiqing and the widow have the same thoughts."

Ye Yu nodded, and suddenly thought: "When I entered the city, I saw that the concrete city wall was already under construction?"

Yingzheng replied: "I don't know the specific effect yet. I just built an additional layer outside the rammed earth city wall. But the work time is short and easy, and it doesn't need too much manpower. It is indeed as Ai Qing said."

Ye Yu said happily: "After winter, if there are no problems after spring, it can be promoted nationwide."

Ye Yu couldn't wait as he spoke. He didn't have time to take a closer look when he entered the city just now, so he really wants to go to the construction site right now.

Ying Zheng probably also saw what he was thinking, and let him go when he was fine.

After Ye Yu returned home from the palace, he changed into a suit of clothes, and went to the construction site to have a look. If it wasn't for the fact that the peasants were all wearing ancient costumes, he would have a feeling of being back in modern times.

After looking around, there was nothing wrong, Ye Yu ran to Zhang Cang again, and Zhang Cang had already prepared a new wooden movable type for him.Although the movable type made of wood will still be deformed after a long time, it is much more convenient than manual copying.

After the trip, Ye Yu went back to the mansion contentedly, rested for a while, and suddenly heard the news that Meng Tian was going to get married.

Meng Tian is eighteen, which is the age of marriage. Although he has not finished the six ceremonies, Ye Yu is still going to come to congratulate him.

As a result, at the gate of the Meng Mansion, he unexpectedly saw a familiar person.

"Xu—the gentleman's house?"

In view of the shadow brought about by his wifeless order, Ye Yu actually wanted to turn around and leave the first moment he saw Xu Fu, but he still held back thinking that this was the gate of the Meng Mansion.

Is anyone in the Meng family sick?

Ye Yu, who vaguely remembered that Xu Fu was an imperial physician, was puzzled.
