Chapter 100 The Fateful Meeting

"Why do you say that—could it be possible, you can do it, but I can't do it..."

The First Emperor pushed away the memorial in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at this grandson who repeatedly surprised him with interest.

Zhao Ying: ...

Looking at the playful eyes of the first emperor, Zhao Ying knew that his father's bad taste had been committed again, and he was putting it here again to test his own knowledge.

But he still leaned over, and while rubbing Shi Huangdi's shoulders very consciously, he replied.

"Of course my father can do it. Is there anything in this world that my father can't do? It's just that you are different from me. I'm just a little champion general who recruits a few followers and finds a few available talents. Even if some In particular, with your paternity, no one dares to say anything. But you are the first emperor of our Great Qin, and your every move has far-reaching influence and involves the interests of all parties. If you are not prepared properly, you will rashly promote this new selection Mechanism, I am worried about what chain reaction it will cause..."

Listening to his eldest grandson's clear analysis, Emperor Shihuang couldn't help but slightly nodded, with a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corner of his mouth.

Don't be overjoyed, don't rush forward impulsively, know how to balance the power.

Good, good!
At this age, it is absolutely rare for my eldest grandson to think of this.

He naturally admired this grandson very much, but he was often worried in his heart, worried that because of his excessive love, this grandson, who was originally too young, would become careless, headstrong, and do things without considering the consequences.

Looking at it now, the child is more sober than he imagined.

"Tell me in detail—"

"I have learned that most of our Daqin's officials now have military exploits and started their careers by opening up fields. In recent years, many people have been recommended by the local government and selected at various levels-this can also be regarded as our Daqin's talent selection system. Although this kind of system is guaranteed by the law, everyone has selfishness and will always favor some relatives and old friends. The younger generation in the family will inevitably have regrets. Some truly talented people may be buried in the wilderness because of this. Do not display your ambitions, but feel unjust—”

While talking, Zhao Ying changed his posture and gave Shi Huangdi a head massage.

"If I adopt the examination system I have today, although some unsatisfactory aspects are unavoidable, as long as a series of barriers such as questioning, supervision, correction, and recruitment are well controlled, many disadvantages can be avoided, whether it is for those from poor backgrounds, Or it may be a good thing for the court to be a young child who is not favored by the family—but because of this, the interests of many people will be involved, and I am afraid it will cause some trouble..."

The First Emperor waved his hand to stop Zhao Ying's movement, looked at his grandson calmly, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"There's a storm—isn't it good?"

Zhao Ying: ...

Seeing the stunned grandson, Shi Huang stood up and patted Zhao Ying's shoulder lightly.

"Ying'er, you have to remember that as a superior, the power in your hands is always the most convenient way to solve problems for you. When you are confused, just ignore it—just cut it down— ——As my eldest grandson, from now on, I will try to learn to reason with a sword with you. Although you are talented and intelligent, you have a soft temper after all..."

Zhao Ying glanced at him with complicated eyes, and the elder father, who had increasingly white hair on his sideburns, nodded silently.

He understood that what Emperor Shi Huang meant was to take advantage of this opportunity to kill people!
Let's cleanse this world again.

This thought made Zhao Ying feel a little uncomfortable.For the first time, he intuitively felt the strength and coldness of this old man who was friendly and casual in front of him.

His kindness and love are all for himself, but for his enemies, he will always be the cruel and ruthless emperor through the ages.

He is never stingy with swinging a deadly knife at his enemies.

……

"Your Majesty, are you a little early..."

Zhao Ying was a little lost when he saw some walking, Hei said in a low voice a little bit unbearably.

The First Emperor was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"I'm getting old. If Xu Fu's fleet is still unable to obtain the elixir of immortality from overseas for me this time, I'm afraid my body won't be able to last long—he's still too young. Before that, I have to learn Kill someone, and I always have to do something for him—"

Speaking of this, the first emperor's eyes could not help but flash coldly.

"My successor must be a hero with great talent, boldness, determination, decisiveness, and even arbitrariness, but not a tyrannical king with blood on his hands - I will do it for him... ..."

Black bowed his head.

"Little son is smart, sooner or later, he will understand your hard work..."

The First Emperor waved his hand casually.

"I'm just thinking about the country and society of Daqin. Even without him, I have to do some things anyway. I can't leave a mess to the people who come later..."

While the two were chatting casually, Zhao Gao came in from the outside lightly, holding a pile of memorials.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, news has just come from the Shaofu that the craftsmen sent by the Zhuo Clan have forged weapons for the young master after more than 30 days of repeated beating and forging day and night, according to His Majesty's instructions. , is in the final quenching and polishing stage..."

This time, Zhuo worked hard, spared no expense, and entrusted many times to find the only contemporary descendant of Ou Yezi. With the blueprints of weapons painstakingly studied by generations of people over the years, he followed the craftsman with the most exquisite forging skills in his clan to work together. Arrived in Xianyang.

Sure enough, after seeing the blueprint, Emperor Shi Huang was delighted.

Now it has been intensively built, and the results are about to come.

When Emperor Shi Huang heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, showing a hint of a smile, and glanced at Hei beside him.

"Go, go out with me for a walk..."

Hei naturally knew where His Majesty was going, immediately nodded with a smile, followed Shi Huangdi step by step, and happily left the palace.

With the weapon at hand, it is natural to find the most brilliant gentleman!

……

Zhao Ying is actually stronger than Shi Huangdi and Hei imagined. After all, as a traveler, he has understood the direction of history, and also knows the fate of his own body——

He just forgot the other side of the first emperor because he had been with the first emperor for a long time.

This is an eternal emperor who once swept the six kingdoms, ruled the world, and made everyone including Xiang Yu feel heartbroken, but had to choose to hide his name and avoid the edge for the time being!
The first emperor is not dead, those who harbor evil intentions are all scumbags, none dare to show their heads, and occasionally there are a few idiots who can't see the situation clearly, and they are all crushed to death by the first emperor.

Obviously, the first emperor not only saw the pros and cons behind his own selection of talents, but also wanted to take this opportunity to carry out another wave of raids to clean up the hidden dangers of the empire.

It's just that as a time traveler who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he is not quite used to this way of dealing with problems——

His state of mind was broken not long after he returned to the mansion.

"My lord, there is someone asking to see you at Yushitai..."

Yushitai?
Zhao Ying couldn't help being startled, but immediately nodded.

"Bring them in—"

The people who came were two middle-aged men, both wearing the costumes at Yushitai. One had a clean face and three long beards, and looked like a scholar, while the other had a rougher appearance and a taller figure. Thick and thick, with a thick round beard, he looks a bit majestic.

However, in front of Zhao Ying, both of them behaved very well.

As soon as you come in, you salute respectfully.

"Censor Tai Jiang Cheng, Hu Wei met the emperor's eldest grandson—"

Zhao Ying stood up with a smile to return the salute, and asked his servants to serve tea to the two of them.

"Don't dare to bother the eldest grandson of the emperor. We came here today to ask how to deal with those warlocks locked in prison..."

Looking at the two Yushitai officials with distressed faces, Zhao Ying remembered that there were still more than 100 unlucky warlocks imprisoned in the prison.

Now that I have been in prison for a month, it is time to deal with it.

Thinking of this, he nodded very readily.

"Okay, you guys let them cultivate for a few days and calm down. I'll go and have a look in a few days..."

In fact, warlocks are not a special school, they are just a more general name, including some Confucian scholars who like to talk about yin and yang disasters, some onmyojis who read Fengshui, and some Taoist students who like alchemy...

In short, he can be regarded as a scholar who understands some mountains and rivers, geographical trends, or a little knowledge of chemistry in this era.

If it’s just showing people Fengshui, divination, and practicing some pills to make yourself happy, it’s actually not that harmful, but this group of people just refuses to settle down. Relying on their little knowledge, they come out to dance every day, trying to About national affairs.

Therefore, in September last year, the first emperor killed hundreds of people in one fell swoop.

This time, being pulled by Zhao Ying with such a swipe, another batch was locked up, which is considered to be self-inflicted.

The most pitiful thing is that because of the attitude of the first emperor, these people don't even have anyone who dares to stand up and intercede for them, so they are considered unlucky.

After receiving Zhao Ying's approval letter, the two officials from Yushitai didn't stay long, and quickly got up to leave.As Yushitai, the long-term detention of such a group of felons has delayed the closing of the case for more than a month, and the pressure is also great.

After seeing off the two officials from Yushitai, Zhao Ying read the book, and then went to the small martial arts arena in the back garden to hone his martial arts.

It is worth mentioning that his current 3000-meter obstacle run has already broken through the 5-minute mark, and he is officially moving towards 4 minutes. If he bursts out in a short period of time, the speed will be even more amazing.

Zhao Ying felt that if he was allowed to meet Li Shu at this time, even if his martial arts were still poor, he could easily win with one move.

If nothing else, hurry up!

As for the two two-hundred-jin stone locks that were barely used a few days ago, they have also been replaced with three-hundred-jin stone locks.

As for Changge, it was completely useless.

It's not a matter of skill, but too light!
A normal standard weapon, in his hands, is like a grown man holding a chicken feather as a weapon. He doesn't feel anything at all, and he has to keep an eye on it so as not to accidentally break it...

As for archery, great progress has also been made.

Even riding on a galloping horse, he still hits the target with every shot. Shooting a halberd at the gate is a trivial matter. After all, after a period of development, his eyesight has reached an unimaginable level.

Hundreds of steps away, every detail is visible!
Although these changes gave him a little more confidence, he was also a little helpless.

Not only are there no suitable weapons, but there are also no suitable war horses.Not to mention whether he can run fast, but whether he can carry himself with a weapon on his back is a big problem.

He was already mentally prepared to be an infantryman with two sledgehammers.

When he was about to rest at night, Zhang Liang finally came back with a tired face.

Reviewing the test papers is tiring in itself, not to mention that he needs to note the reasons for winning or losing one by one, in case Zhao Ying asks for inquiries.Fortunately, Zhao Ying only asked him to select and pick out the better ones, and didn't let him rank, otherwise he would have even more headaches.

"Report to General, all the test papers have been reviewed and screened. A total of 670 people participated in the screening, 120 people were selected, and 36 people were outstanding. Among them, Han Xin, who you personally reviewed, is the most..."

Zhao Ying glanced at the result list, and when the names fell on the first few names, suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile.

Not far from Han Xin's name, a person's name was written squarely.

Kuai Tong!
Is this a fateful encounter?

Two people, so miraculously got together here...

Other than that, I didn't see any other candidates with names and surnames in history, which is not surprising. After all, sometimes there is a bit of luck involved in whether or not a name can be left in history.Just like Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, if he died when Liu Bang threw him from the carriage, nothing would happen to him.

These people, being able to catch Zhang Liang's eyes, can naturally explain a bit of the problem.

"Very good, well done, hard work!"

Looking at the tired Zhang Liang, Zhao Ying couldn't help showing a hint of appreciation on his face.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang burst into tears, feeling a feeling of finally being recognized in his heart, it was not easy, the eldest grandson of the emperor was finally willing to give himself a smiling face, and even praised himself.

Poor thing, this child was forcibly kept by Zhao Ying's side, handled like a donkey, and almost suffered from Stockholm syndrome.

With the team left by his own cheap father, there is no special need for additional manpower in his own house.

Therefore, no matter whether they were counselors or military commanders, except for a few who had expertise in numerology and were sent to Tianxiang Pavilion by him to help manage the business, he shoved everyone else into his barracks.

Military training!

If you want to stand out on your own side, you must first participate in a month of military training, and study "Casting the Soul of the Army" with everyone for a month. Not only must you read and recite it, but you must also have your own understanding. basic conditions!
Discipline and thoughtfulness must keep up.
