my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 121 Zhao Gao: Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine
Hu who messed up the Qin Dynasty!

The first emperor is old, and if he wants to overthrow Tyranny and restore the homeland of the six kingdoms, he can only count on his successor, who is an idiot.And the eighteen young masters in front of him who are ambitious, a little ambitious, most favored by the first emperor, but lacking in ability, and even a little ignorant and short-sighted, are naturally the best candidate.

Originally, everything went well.

It was useless for people like himself to take action. The formidable, brave, trustworthy, tolerant, and politically farsighted eldest son Fusu was fooled by Chun Yuyue's old man, and he repeatedly contradicted the first emperor. Play yourself away!
Next, it was a matter of course for this idiot to take the position, and the situation was very good.

Who knew, suddenly another grandson of the emperor with amazing talent and beauty appeared!
Many people may not be aware of the danger behind this, but Li Shiqi has already smelled an unusual meaning, so he entangled a few old friends, rushed to Xianyang, and devoted himself to "Seeking Talented People" Thirsty" eighteen sons.

And he, Li Shiqi, also successfully became one of the eighteenth son's most trusted disciples.

"Young master, the power of the emperor's eldest grandson is already like a prairie fire. If you wait to see it and sit back and watch its success, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Hu Hai's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, looking at this doorman who had always been strategic and discerning, an imperceptible haze flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Li's words are exaggerated. Although he is favored by His Majesty, he is only a grandson of the emperor after all..."

Li Shiqi knew that the eighteenth son had listened to his words.

He stared straight at Hu Hai in front of him without hesitation.

"Your Majesty swept the six kingdoms and unified the world. This is a pattern that has never existed in the ages. Most of the government orders in the court were created at the beginning and never existed. Who stipulated that a prince must be needed for the position of the Eastern Palace..."

Hu Hai's expression changed drastically.

All along, he just felt that Zhao Ying had robbed him of the favor of the first emperor, but he never thought that that bastard would have the possibility of succeeding the first emperor.

Li Shiqi's words shocked him suddenly.

Seeing Hu Hai whose expression changed drastically and who was already in a mess, Li Shiqi couldn't help but twirled his beard and smiled lightly.

"Don't be impatient, my lord. Although the eldest grandson of the emperor looks like a flower, and the limelight is boundless, in fact, the advantage is still on the lord's side. Now the lord is not only favored by everyone, but also full of wings..."

Having said that, Li Shiqi glanced at Hu Hai meaningfully.

"Now, the young master is responding to everything, why do you want to sit and watch the emperor's eldest grandson gradually erode the opportunity that should belong to you, and remain indifferent and refuse to do anything?"

Hu Hai's eyes struggled.

Li Shiqi's expression was indifferent, but his words were earnest.

"The son treats the minister with sincerity, and the minister can only treat the son with sincerity. Today, the minister said this, not to encourage the son to make trouble, but to think that there are some things that no one will send to you. Fight, otherwise I'm afraid I will regret it later..."

Hu Hai looked up at Li Shiqi, and Li Shiqi looked at him calmly.

After a long time, Hu Hai let out a long breath, his tone inexplicably authentic.

"Yesterday, you said that you would try to impeach Zhao Ying, but when I went today, His Majesty was still discussing state affairs with Zhao Ying, and they were very close. Even, you didn't even have the time to see me..."

Hearing Hu Hai's question, Li Shiqi couldn't help but smile.

"Young Master, why bother—Your Master, you know the truth that three people become tigers and work for a long time? We already knew that it was impossible to have any influence on the emperor's eldest grandson based on those memorials alone. Impeachment is because this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone..."

Hu Hai looked at Li Shiqi with some doubts.

"One, no matter how talented and intelligent the eldest grandson of the emperor is, he is only a boy in his teens. He should always have the temperament of a young man. Once he is easily offended, he will be criticized and impeached every now and then. His behavior will be inappropriate, and once he behaves improperly and makes mistakes frequently, it will in turn mess up his character. Once he loses ground, he often makes some mistakes, or becomes angry and retaliates wantonly..."

Having said that, Li Shiqi couldn't help showing a smug smile from the corners of his eyes.

"At that time, the young master thinks that His Majesty will still love him as much as he does now..."

When Hu Hai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking.

"Then what about the second..."

"Secondly, the young master is the trend of the times now, and everyone responds, and he comes to vote like a crucian carp crossing the river. However, the young master has not expressed anything. If he doesn't show his strength properly and show some aggressive attitude, how can he make high hopes in the future?" Is the young master at ease?"

When Hu Hai heard this, he couldn't help thinking.

In the past, he just wanted to be like his elder brother Fusu, learning how to solve problems for the First Emperor and win over the forces in the court, but he really never thought about dealing with the eldest nephew who stole his love.

When Li Shiqi said this, he suddenly realized that in the past, he seemed to have really ignored this issue.It is hopeless to follow a prince who has no ambitions. I have been waiting dryly. How can I reassure those forces who have taken refuge in me?
No wonder some people have been ambiguous and refused to express their views!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think highly of Li Shiqi again.

"So what about the third—"

Hu Hai already had a somewhat respectful look on his face asking for advice.

Li Shiqi smiled slightly.

"Thirdly, it is natural that three people become tigers. Ordinary people, ignorant and ignorant, are like chickens, pigs and dogs, driving east to east, and attracting west to west. If the emperor's eldest grandson is frequently impeached by hundreds of officials, but His Majesty keeps ignoring it, then How the people of the world will think, just a little guidance—”

Having said that, Li Shiqi looked at Hu Hai and smiled without saying a word.

Hu Hai couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"Mr. is truly unparalleled in the country. Mr. Gu is even more powerful than a tiger!"

Looking at Hu Hai who was bowing in front of him in salute, Li Shiqi couldn't help but turn up his mouth slightly, and the disdain in his eyes flashed away.On the face, there was a touch like meeting a confidant, the sleeves were unfolded, and he bowed in return.

"Thanks to the young master for not giving up, although I am dull, I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the young master..."

It doesn't matter what the people think, as long as Hu Hai can mobilize all the officials in the court to find a reason to impeach His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson every now and then, his confidant can take the opportunity to guide him.

Although Qin conquered the world, in terms of influence among the people of the six countries, the nobles of the six countries may not be inferior.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know that someone had already regarded him as a threat and started a series of actions against him.

At this time, he had already discussed the general framework with Shi Huangdi, and he was leaning lazily on the back of the chair with a glass of boiled water in his hand, continuing to discuss with Shi Huangdi, who was squinting and swaying slowly on the rocking chair. Details follow.

"Father, if you're looking for a storyteller, I think those Confucian scholars would be good candidates. They can read and write, they can speak quickly, and they can reason with people with weapons—"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying himself couldn't help but laugh.

Shi Huang couldn't help but burst out laughing, the tea in the cup almost splashed on his face.It was the first time he heard someone describe that group of Confucian scholars in such a way, and he couldn't help laughing and cursing angrily.

"How can you arrange people like you? If that old fellow Chun Yuyue listens to your words, he will probably be so angry that he vomits blood—"

After laughing, Emperor Shi Huang pondered for a while, and then nodded slightly approvingly.

"Yes, it is indeed a good candidate—"

First of all, Confucianism has begun to actively draw closer to itself, not only proposing the idea of ​​great unification, but also giving public lectures in the Xishui Caotang, and debating with various schools, as if it were one of its own.

Although Chun Yuyue was not in the court to ask questions, nor did he resume his post as a doctor in the court, but his two personal disciples had already been selected into the court to serve as doctors.

Secondly, Confucianism is a prominent school in the world and has a great influence among the people. The benevolent government and love for the people he advocated make the common people feel natural towards them. It is naturally best for them to be the storyteller.

That's right, in the current situation where the media is underdeveloped and the literacy rate of the common people is not high, the best way Zhao Ying thought of was to train a group of storytellers.

Write the story of the Great Qin, tell the story of the Great Qin, let them, a group of Confucian scholars, act as the mouthpiece of the Great Qin and guide the vanguard of public opinion.

Public opinion is like a fertile field. If you don’t take care of it or plant it, it will naturally be covered with all kinds of weeds!

Zhao Ying felt that the Great Qin in the previous life suffered from this. He was too tough, too domineering, and too eager, but he did not seize the extremely important position of public opinion, nor did he communicate well. Fanning the flames in various places, spreading rumors, and guiding public opinion, this has caused everyone in the world to regard Daqin as a snake and a scorpion.

And the first emperor put on a tyrannical hat, and Daqin also became the bamboo of Qingnan Mountain.
He didn't know how effective his action would be, but he knew that if he didn't do it, it would be tantamount to sitting and waiting to die, giving up this position to others.

Became a complete idiot!
Consciously taking another small step forward on the road to save his life, Zhao Ying felt much better. He chatted with Emperor Shihuang for a few more words, and was about to get up and go to the recruit camp to have a look.

As soon as he got up, he saw Zhao Gao holding a black gold-painted tray, walking quickly in small steps from the outside.

"Your Majesty, this month, Han Zhongjin offered a total of 25 pills. I have personally inspected them. All of them are in good condition. They are rare treasures..."

Zhao Gao has always been in charge of the first emperor's elixir, and today is the time to offer it again.

This was the first time that Zhao Ying encountered someone presenting a elixir to the First Emperor, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and stopped in his tracks, stood aside, and calmly swept the tray in Zhao Gao's hand.

A small bottle of suet white jade was placed upright on the tray, the color was warm and moist, and it looked extremely high-end.

When the first emperor heard the words, he couldn't help but feel refreshed and sat up straight.

"Bring it up—"

Zhao Gao held up the tray and sat half-kneeling in front of Shi Huangdi. Shi Huangdi reached out and picked up the vial on the tray, uncorked it, put it on his nose, sniffed it slightly, then poured out another one, put it in his palm, and looked at it carefully. , with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Yes, the color is bright, the fragrance of the medicine is tangy, the size is uniform, and the appearance is good-it seems that Han Zhong's alchemy skills have improved..."

The First Emperor said, picked up a elixir, and was about to swallow it, Zhao Ying couldn't help but eyelids twitched.

"Father, let me see—"

As he spoke, Zhao Ying stretched out his hand to take the elixir from Shi Huang's hand.

It was just a elixir, and the First Emperor was not in a hurry, looking at him happily from the sidelines.

"If you like it, I can give you a few, and let Han Zhong refine it again later..."

For Zhao Ying, the grandson, Shi Huangdi has always been very generous.

Zhao Ying thanked happily, took the elixir in his hand and admired it carefully for a while, it looked like the traditional Chinese medicine pills of later generations, but it looked better in appearance, not only round and lustrous, but also smelled There is even a faint medicinal fragrance.

It's kind of bluffing to look at.

However, he felt like a bright mirror in his heart, this thing was refined from some heavy metals and some messy Chinese herbal medicines.

If you eat it, you won't die instantly, but the damage to your body will last forever.

"I can't see anything famous about this stuff. Can eating it really prolong your life?"

Zhao Ying pretended to be puzzled and looked at Zhao Gao who was beside him.

"This is carefully refined by Han Zhong. It takes a month to get one furnace. It costs a lot and it is hard to get. Naturally, there will be no fake..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying looked at Shi Huangdi with a smile.

"Father, is it really so miraculous?"

Emperor Shihuang laughed.

"Over the years, I have been taking the elixir made by Han Zhong himself. Every time I take it, I feel lighter in body and much better in spirit..."

Zhao Ying: ...

It sounds like it is quite similar to the five stone powder of the later generations, which can stimulate people's nerves and give people a sense of temporary excitement.

As he spoke, Shi Huang casually poured out another one, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and soon, a relaxed expression appeared on his face, his face was slightly flushed, and his voice seemed to be much louder than before.

"That's right, the effect this time is even better than last time. Pass on my decree, reward warlock Han Dong's daughter, a hundred pieces of silk, and all the precious herbs as before..."

Then, the first emperor asked someone to take a small jade bottle of similar appearance, poured seven or eight pills into it very grandly, and then turned around and handed it to Zhao Ying who was standing beside him, who was "greedy".

"This is your reward—"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Shi Huang turned to Zhao Gao.

"Next time, let Han Zhong practice more and send it over. If you need anything, just ask Shi Shaofu to get it..."

Zhao Gao glanced at the jade bottle in Zhao Ying's hand with some envy, and then responded respectfully.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Ying couldn't laugh or cry. Looking at this posture, both of them thought this thing was a good thing.But when he thought of the arrangement for Chen Ping today, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Gao, and couldn't help but smile.

This smile fell in the eyes of Shi Huangdi, who thought that he was rewarded with a elixir, and was happy in his heart.

But Zhao Gao didn't know why, but he always felt that the smile of His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson seemed to be a little bit hostile towards him.
