For teacher, for father

I don't know if it was Buddha or his illusion, after Ji Hao said that he wanted to leave Qin for a short time... Ying Zheng actually had the feeling that he had just experienced a wonderful wedding and was abandoned by his wife the next day...

Guanzhong is the base of Qin, and to put it bluntly, it is an important military base of Qin.Moreover, the topography of Guanzhong is complicated, there are many floods and droughts every year, the people live in hardship, there are frequent famines, and the production of food is even more worrying than happy.Building canals and increasing the grain production in Guanzhong is one of the foundations for Qin to remain invincible in the flames of war. Yingzheng understands these things better than Ji Hao, but he is young at heart, and he just doesn't want to see Mr. disappear before my eyes.

The construction of the canal is related to the foundation of the country, and the time is immeasurable, and I don't know how long it will take to see this parting...

Ying Zheng didn't hide his bad mood at all, and the expression of being a little depressed because of Ji Hao's decision was more than twice as obvious after Qu Ji's appearance.

The young man raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and glanced coldly at the man outside the door who was respectfully saluting the two of them, but he didn't call out Qu Ji to come in.

"..."

Ji Hao watched all of this silently, so he naturally knew the reason why his students were in a bad mood.But the other party's small willful behavior actually made Ji Hao feel a little happy.

The young man still drank the heart-warming ginger tea in the cup unhurriedly, and gently put his palm, which was warmed by the teacup, on the back of Ying Zheng's slightly clenched fist, and said leisurely, "Master Qu, please come in and talk." stop."

Looking around, Ji Hao didn't look at Qu Ji outside the door, but met Ying Zheng's black eyes.With the passage of time, these eyes have gradually...become more dangerous and beautiful, just like the state of mind of a teenager, already less clear and more profound.These transformations are like sharp lines, sharpening Ying Zheng's already deep mind.

Ji Hao suddenly sighed.

The young man in front of him is no longer that pitiful, civilian-clothed hostage of the enemy country. It has been five years since Yingzheng was crowned as the throne. He is dressed in brocade robes, and his expression is indifferent, which really gives a sense of being king.

"...What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come in?" Holding the young man's slender palm instead, Ying Zheng didn't know the emotion in Ji Hao's heart. next to Ji Hao.

"The widow only asks you three questions."

Qu Ji had never been able to figure out the erratic temperament of the young emperor, so he hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "I know everything."

"Do you know who is the first to bear the brunt of Qin's attack on the east?"

"...Back to the king, it's South Korea."

"The construction of the canal is not a one-day job. This matter is related to the favorable location and people's harmony, and it will cost a lot of money. When our Great Qin treasury is empty and we are unable to go east...who will benefit the most?"

"Hui, Huiwangshang...the one with the biggest profit is naturally South Korea"

Qu Ji had been an official in the court for many years, and he didn't know Ying Zheng's temperament like the back of his hand, at least he knew four to five points. Hearing the emperor's attitude to ask questions, not only his heart tightened - the emperor's suspicion was the biggest crisis for a courtier.

"So, I will ask you one last question." Ying Zheng's black eyes flashed coldness, and the black robe inlaid with gold silk made him look more majestic and fierce. Holding the pottery edge of the teacup, he lowered his voice, and said slowly, "Who is the country that wants to build the Guanzhong Canal for our Great Qin?"

Qu Ji clenched his teeth, unable to restrain the cold sweat from his forehead and back. The emperor's cold gaze made him dare not raise his head, and he replied tremblingly, "This person is named Zheng Guo, and he is, he is a Korean."

After hearing Qu Ji's answer, Ying Zheng did not continue to ask questions, but took the heavy pottery teapot from Ji Hao's hand, and leisurely poured warm ginger tea into the half-empty cups of the two of them.

The young man moved gracefully and slowly, without even looking at the courtier kneeling next to him. After the slightly bitter taste of ginger tea filled his mouth and warmed his heart, Ying Zheng gave a glance to the young man beside him.

Ji Hao smiled and nodded slightly to his students.

The emperor's suspicion should never be underestimated. Even though Qu Ji had shown his loyalty, he was considered a veteran in the palace, but Ying Zheng still didn't give him full trust.

Of course he knew that the person Qu Ji wanted to recommend to the two was Zheng Guo, a South Korean water conservancy expert. He was not of my race, and his heart must be different. Moreover, South Korea was weak among the six middle schools, and it was the first target of the Eastern Expedition. The matter of the aqueduct The impact was huge and the cost was high. Qu Ji's recommendation this time still left a small thorn in the emperor's heart-reusing a courtier of an enemy country made Ying Zheng very unhappy.

Therefore, Ying Zheng did not reduce the process of intimidating his courtiers.

"The terrain in Guanzhong is complex. Years of drought make people miserable. Famine is everywhere, and the fields are barren. Only by building canals in Guanzhong to attract running water and irrigate the barren fields can we strengthen the benchmark of our Great Qin."

After drinking ginger tea, Ji Hao's mind became much clearer, and he finally broke the tense atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers: "As for the process of building the canal, I will personally supervise..."

The famous builder of the Zhengguo Canal in history is about to appear, but just like the Qin Emperor's suspicion of the Korean Zheng Guo, Ji Hao of course knows the purpose of Zheng Guo traveling thousands of miles to the enemy country to build the canal, weakening Qin's national strength, The biggest beneficiary is the weak Eastern country Han.

After all the events last night, Ji Hao didn't intend to run away. When he woke up in the morning, he had seriously considered his relationship with Ying Zheng. In the end, he planned to indulge himself one more time, before leaving Qin. , he must let the other party know his determination.

This is not only to give himself confidence, but also to give Yingzheng peace of mind.

……

So, before the words finished, Ji Hao had already curled the corners of his lips, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and moved towards the boy without hiding his warmth.The distance between the two was less than half a finger, and the young man's tone was gentle, with a trace of affection that could be detected: "Would Zheng'er believe me?"

"..."

Ying Zheng was caught off guard by Ji Hao's sudden turn, and the coldness towards Qu Ji still remained in his black eyes.Somewhat at a loss, staring at the face of the other party who suddenly approached: "Sir..."

In the originally tense and indifferent room, fresh air suddenly leaked in like a balloon with a hole in it.

Even Qu Ji, who was still maintaining the gesture of respect and salute, was a little confused, but without Ying Zheng's promise, Qu Ji still lowered his head, suppressing all his curiosity, not daring to see what happened between his king and Ji Hao what.

……

"Huh? Mrs. Ji."

Ji Hao rested his chin with one hand, his pupils were black and bright, his lips were peach blossoms, and he looked at the young man with a little crimson cheeks with a smile in the corner of his eyes.He has always wanted to call Ying Zheng this once, and by coincidence, he finally got his wish today.

The gentleman who has been called by the boy for ten years, since he confessed himself last night, it is time for him to call his wife again today.

"Ji... Mrs.?"

Ying Zheng nodded, of course he could trust his husband.It's just that he was a little confused by the strange and unfamiliar title of the young man.What's the matter today, sir, suddenly changed his attitude on serious business, and changed the topic from the canal to something he didn't understand.You know, in the past when talking about state affairs, Ji Hao was more positive than anyone else.

Mrs. Ji?Mrs. Chicken?What is this again.

"It's nothing. Can Zheng'er trust me?"

"The widow naturally believes in Mr. Ji, Mrs. Ji said just now..."

"Aren't Master Qu tired after standing for so long? Come, sit down and chat."

Satisfied, he took advantage of the first emperor once.Once again, Ji Hao interrupted his students' questioning quickly and simply changed the subject.Ying Zheng was not given a chance to ask questions again.Instead, he stood up and pulled Qu Ji to his seat, while he sat beside Qu Ji, just blocking Ying Zheng's probing eyes.

The young man coughed, put down the teacup, and put on a businesslike look: "Master Qu has already brought someone here today? The Guanzhong area is of great importance. You should know what your majesty means. Don't worry about everything." Forget being cautious."

"...My lord's advice, Qu Ji doesn't dare to forget it. He has already brought him, and now he is waiting outside. Do you want to see him, Your Majesty and Lord Ji?"

Qu Ji couldn't figure out what was going on at all, and was pressed stiffly on the seat, quickly answering Ji Hao's question respectfully.

He only knew that Ji Hao's expression was relaxed and happy today, but looking at his king next to him... The man hurriedly withdrew his gaze from Ying Zheng's side, stared at the teacup in front of him and fell silent. Now the relationship between these two people The subtle atmosphere made Qu Ji dare not take another look.

But for some reason, Qu Ji suddenly felt that the seat he was sitting in was a little out of place - he just separated Ji Hao and Ying Zheng, on this side was Mr. .The feeling of being caught in it was very uncomfortable, which caused a thin layer of cold sweat to appear on the man's forehead, and he instinctively wanted to get closer to Ji Hao's side, and because of such a small move, he was once again stared at indifferently by Ying Zheng.

……

"Oh, don't worry. I still have a few questions for you to ask."

The young man answered with a smile, and quickly poured out some questions about the canal accumulated in the past few days.He seriously started to think about the Guanzhong matter, and devoted himself to the discussion with Qu Ji. There was a tall adult man between them, so Ji Hao pretended not to see how many times his students wanted to ask questions. Export look.

——He didn't want to explain the meaning of 'Mrs. Ji' to Ying Zheng.
