Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang found that His Majesty was very clingy to him tonight. He was usually very arrogant and ignored him when he was seduced, but now he took the initiative to come to his arms, which made him feel quite flattered.

It's just that it doesn't work, Yan Jiang always feels that His Majesty has become a lot deeper recently. He used to look at Huahua in every possible way and made all kinds of bad things, but now he is much more magnanimous. I don't even go forward to grab it if I ask for petting.

Yan Jiang was a little worried that His Majesty was discouraged by him, but seeing that His Majesty did not resist feeding and stories, he seemed to be a little complacent when he said that King Qin was really troublesome and hard to deal with.

Alas, it's a pity that I still can't keep Huahua. Yan Jiang is a little regretful. The King of Qin has ordered to pack up and return to Xianyang overnight. He followed him, and the King of Qin gave him a weather forecast platform. I've been a little restless for a few days.

As a big cat in the wild, this small yard makes it irritable naturally, so it’s better to let it follow in the wild and feed Jujue once in a while. He doesn’t want to turn Huahua into a real cat. The king of beasts.

So before boarding the boat, Yan Jiang put Huahua back to the mountain and let him go surfing by himself. After surfing, remember to find the owner.

Returning to Xianyang is going down the river, so this time there is no need for too many trackers on the shore. Most of the civilians who served in the army have already embarked on the way home, so it can be regarded as traveling lightly, and the return journey will not take much time.

Only two days later, someone came to report that Lai Ai, who had already escaped, sneaked into Xianyang and falsely reported that Wang Yuxi and Queen Mother Xi raised troops. He wanted to kill Lu Buwei in Xianyang, and took the tiger talisman to the feudal state of Lao to support his troops. Lu Buwei had already taken precautions. He used Lord Changping and Lord Changwen to suppress the rebellion. Among all the rebels, only Lao Ai ran away again when she saw something was wrong.

After reading the battle report on the boat, Qin was not overjoyed. Lai Ai had bought people's hearts everywhere in Xianyang before. At that time, he had already guessed that he would start an incident in Yongdu or Xianyang. Lu Buwei and himself made preparations on both sides. He returned to Xianyang but died. It's just that the household registration in Qin is strict, and everyone has a "test" to prove their identity, and a "biography" to prove their whereabouts. Without these, he can't run for a few days.

"It is said that in the first battle of Xianyang, those who made meritorious deeds were worshiped as nobles, and those who participated in the battle were commendable for their loyalty, and they were all awarded the first rank of nobles." King Qin ordered indifferently.

In two days, there will be news of Lao Ai's arrest - it is said that when it was known that he was captured alive, the whole of Xianyang went crazy. Even the eunuchs in the palace quietly ran out to make a fortune, people did nothing but searched for him all over the mountains and seas, and all the mouse holes in Xianyang City were not spared. This kind of overwhelming search soon found a lucky man In the birth, a servant found a string of horseshoe prints in a mountain stream fifty miles outside Xianyang City. He felt that the matter was not simple, so he quickly notified the local traveler.

You Jiao, who was in charge of public security, immediately brought along the athletes from the village. They were all soldiers who had been in the battlefield. After a fierce battle, Lai Ai was captured alive and made the village rich with his own life.

So far, the Lai Ai Rebellion has basically subsided, but it has not come to an end.

After receiving the news, Qin Wangzheng issued a series of government orders in an orderly manner on the ship. All the remaining members of the Lao family were captured, and the promoted officials fell one by one. People cut down their waists and abandoned the city, and Lao Ai himself was torn apart in the downtown area of ​​Xianyang. There were nearly a hundred people from his tribe who came to join him, and all the families were copied and killed, not one of them was left behind.

At that time, the king of Qin returned to Xianyang, and all the people greeted him. Yan Jiang followed the king of Qin on the carriage frame, saw what the return of the king was, and drew a sketch when he returned home, but his majesty didn't know where he was. , it just spit out a ball of paper, which means that it has already paid you back and don't bother me, so that he has to draw a new one.

After returning to the city, the King of Qin still did not stop pursuing the investigation. The families involved in the rebellion and their retainers and servants were all implicated. The lighter ones were punished as ghost wages and paid firewood for the ancestral temple for three years. cry.

Yan Jiang did a random calculation, and there were more than 2 people who were exiled.

More than 2 people, are you addicted to exile?

He spent a lot of thought on staying in the village, knowing how miserable the emigration was, so he wanted to persuade them.

However, the King of Qin has a plausible statement about this: "Qing once said that there are foreign forces in the court, and they need to be pulled out before they can attack this country. Lai Ai came from Zhao, and most of the people who bought them were related to Zhao, so I took the opportunity to pull them out. , why not?"

Ever since he heard about Li Lun, he had already started making preparations. It just so happened that Jun Chengqiao rebelled in Chang'an earlier. His mother was a Korean princess, and the Korean forces were behind him. This time, he can follow along.

The other party's reasons were too good, and the facts were too clear, Yan Jiang was blocked for a while and could only speak helplessly: "What about the 2 people, the weather is not good these two days..."

In fact, the day we arrived in Xianyang, the weather started to get cold.

"It's you who said that the cold is not as good as the Qinling Mountains, so I moved them to Shu. Guanzhong is very close to the Qinling Mountains. If you pass by, you will find the Chencang. The land of Bashu is full of food and the sky is warm. If you are here, can't you see your benevolence?" Qin Wang's posture was arrogant and domineering, and his reasons were set one after another, leaving Yan Jiangzhen speechless.

You are all benevolent and unparalleled, so I am still the mother of the world!

Yan Jiang secretly slandered in his heart, knowing that he couldn't convince him, and he didn't bother to care about this matter anymore, as King Qin said, the land of Bashu is rich, it's already April, and the south of Qinling Mountains is not dead cold, compared to the immigrants who stayed in the village There are two difficulties. There must be people who are weak on the road, but they must be much less.

He backed off, turned around and left—because his prophecy was accurate, he could be said to be an instant hit in the state of Qin. The king of Qin allowed him not to kneel before the king. In the past two days, many people wanted to befriend him. The King of Qin granted him Fengchang, and he was in charge of offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, but was rejected by the King of Qin.

Fortunately, there is no position of national teacher this year.

When he left the main hall, the halls of Xianyang Palace were far bigger and more beautiful than Yongdu. They were all high platforms with flying eaves, and the stairs were tall and long, which looked majestic, but it was very troublesome to walk, and he was not used to sitting on a chariot.

Xianyang is indeed prosperous, and Patna of the Maurya Dynasty is the only one comparable to it in these years.

After inspecting the badge at the palace guard, he finally came to a large Chinese city more than 2000 years ago. There was a lot of traffic and order here. The streets were not paved with bluestone, but were rammed with loess, which was very solid. In some places, water accumulated. The soil below is still hard, and the streets are very clean—after all, the price is too high, and if you take out the garbage, you will have tattoos on your face to prove that you have dumped garbage indiscriminately.

It is a pity that most of the streets are the residences of various bureaucrats, and there are some restaurants, guest houses, and few shops. After asking, he found out that the shops here are all in a fixed street called "city", because The streets in the city are well-shaped, so they are called Shijing, which is convenient for heavy taxes.

He walked to the market place according to the guidance of others, which was easy to find, because a very high flagpole was erected with the word "city" written on it, and there was a very high platform underneath, overlooking the entire market, and there were guards on the platform.

There were people coming and going, and it was very bustling, from cloth to swords, from bamboo slips to ink brushes, beautiful bronze utensils, food, vegetables and fruits. He even saw the paper, which was the kind of rough paper he got in Longxi. The length and breadth of a person cost a hundred dollars, and the supply was in short supply, and the sold out sign was put up in a short while.

And pepper and cumin are also sold here, but the price is more expensive than gold, which is prohibitive.

So Yan Jiang couldn't help but inquired, only to find out that this was the business of Li Taishou's family in Longxi. After knowing that Qiang Qin needed pepper and other spices, the Yue family searched everywhere, and asked for purchases from the Western Regions.The store manager also proudly said that this is the first batch transferred, and there will be more in the future, but the price cannot be lowered now.

Yan Jiang laughed when he heard it, and his pace became a lot lighter for a while.

He remembered that sentence: Life will find its own way out.

Just brought a little novelty, has it already started to shake the Silk Road?

He wandered around the market for a while before returning to the palace.

The residence arranged for him by the King of Qin was not far from the Qinian Palace where he lived. He said that the school palace was still being repaired, so he lived in the palace to teach some students first, and the scope of teaching could be expanded in the future.

It was already dark at this time, Yan Jiang went back to bed and looked at the sleeping Majesty, feeling a little worried. Recently, His Majesty has been sleeping longer than before, and he only woke up for a few hours. He flew around a few times at first, but then he seemed to get tired of flying I don't want to fly anymore, and I gained a few pounds recently. If I go down this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly.

He lit the lamp and wrote on the paper what he would teach tomorrow.

Not only numbers, but he also wants to establish a theory. When understanding the world, let people express all the truths in words and formulas. This kind of inheritance is far more important than experience. Even if Confucianism is really the only one in the future, material and Spiritually, the two earnestly walk at least equally.

But he couldn't finish writing, because Li Xin came to find him.

He came here as soon as he changed his guard. This young general who had just been in Xianyang for a few months brought a few friends, and wanted to take him to the mansion and clean him up. There were brothers from the Meng family and the king from the Wang family who came here. Ben, Yang Xiong from the Yang family, and Li Xin from his Li family are considered to be the top circle of Qin's upper-level generals.

Li Xin gave him careful science education along the way. The brothers of the Meng family are Meng Yi and Meng Tian. There are more than [-] cities in the country, but it is a pity that they died in the war against Zhao Guo a few years ago, and they are from a military family.

That Wang Ben's father is Wang Jian. Wang Jian has been in the army for many years. Last year, he put down the rebellion of Jun Chengqiao in Chang'an. He is highly regarded by the king and is an upstart in the army. Great job.

"Why did Yang Duanhe go to lead the army to make great contributions?" Yan Jiang quietly asked Li Xin, "Haven't you fought yet?"

"In Xingyang, South Korea didn't take the lead, and Zhao State is not worth it. It must be Wei State," Li Xin replied bluntly, "After the death of Lord Xinling of Wei State, it will be a pool of fat. Anyone who goes there can bite twice."

While talking, everyone has come to Li's house, the beautiful maidservants are handing over cups and cups, these young talents are capable people who will be recorded in the annals of history in the future, all of them are eloquent, knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is warm, Li Xin is even more Yan Jiang couldn't bear to flatter his friend in every possible way.

Yang Xiong drank a few cups, a little dissatisfied, and clamored for two tricks, Li Xin also coaxed the elder brother to give him a look.

At this moment, the closed door suddenly opened, and a dusty object fell on the door. A gust of cold air rushed towards the face, and in the cold rain that came along with the strong wind, there were snowflakes the size of a fingertip. People couldn't help shivering.

Everyone's face changed instantly when they saw Yan Jiang. It was just the sudden cold weather before. Although everyone believed that he had some abilities, they didn't care too much about it, but now it's snowing in April-this is already a trick only for gods?

Yang Xiong admired him for a moment, said that he was offended, and punished himself with a cup to kill him.

The beautiful servant girl who was pouring wine next to her also blushed and her heart beat for a while, and she couldn't help but get closer to the ground, and accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt, and was helped by Yan Jiang before she knelt down.

Yan Jiang was about to see what fell on the ground, and it seemed familiar.

In the next second, the big owl flew from the snowstorm and landed on the table indifferently, kicking over the wine glass.
