my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 206 Li Shiqi's conspiracy!

In the evening, Concubine Zheng stayed here for dinner.

Zhao Ying and Wang Nan were cooking in person. Seeing this, Concubine Zheng became interested and got up to help in the back kitchen, so everyone simply crowded into the kitchen, even the little girl Zhao Xi was chattering excitedly in the kitchen , "help" back and forth.

As a result, the work that could have been completed in less than half an hour ended up taking more than an hour.

Except for the stewed venison, which they were not able to intervene and survived, the other dishes were prepared in various ways. However, everyone was very happy to work and eat, so Zhao Ying didn't bother to care about it.

Obviously, everyone regards cooking as a farmhouse pleasure...

When Concubine Zheng was about to leave, Zhao Ying served Shi Huangdi a portion of steaming venison in a steamer, and deliberately skimmed off a few spoonfuls of broth.

"Father likes to eat this, remember to bring it back to him..."

Zhao Ying smiled and handed the jar to Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng glanced at her eldest grandson with some guilt, seeing that the child looked normal, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be calm He stretched out his hand to take the venison handed over by Zhao Ying, and nodded with a smile.

"You are a filial child, no wonder that old man dotes on you so much..."

Looking at Concubine Zheng who was leaving in the car, Zhao Ying sighed softly.

Alas, it is really difficult for me to be a grandson——

……

Zhangtai Palace.

Shi Huang pinched the space between his brows wearily, put down the brush in his hand, stood up, and stretched a lot.Although after this period of recuperation, the physical condition has improved a little bit, but there is no reason to say that the body that has been overdrawn for a long time is good?
What's more, during this period of Zhao Ying's expedition, most of the government affairs originally shared by Zhao Ying were put back on him. In addition, there was no CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao to help, and he was used to a relaxed body. , Feeling more and more tired and unwell.

"Ying'er, that bastard, why didn't he come today? Do you know what he's busy with today..."

Shi Huang glanced at it, seeing that there was no finished memorial, he looked at Hei who was standing beside him.

Hei smiled back.

"This morning, Young Master Gao and his wife went to the Emperor's eldest grandson's mansion as guests, and in the afternoon, Concubine Zheng also went..."

Hearing that Concubine Zheng had also passed by, Shi Huang couldn't help being startled, and asked subconsciously.

"How did she go..."

"I heard that I went to give the emperor's eldest grandson a newly made robe..."

Hearing this, Emperor Shihuang seemed to have thought of something, snorted softly, turned around and lay back on the reclining chair, shook the chair lightly once and for all, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Hei didn't bother, and quietly accompanied him.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Shang Shi Ling came in to ask whether the meal should be served or not, so Emperor Shihuang stood up graciously. He had worked hard all day today, but he didn't have much appetite.

Just as I wanted to let someone order some light dishes to make do with a few mouthfuls, I heard a burst of brisk footsteps outside.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Zheng said that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, specially asked her to bring food for you, please Your Majesty to come and have a meal..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"Um--"

The main thing is not to let down the filial piety of the grandson.

That night, Emperor Shihuang once again drove to Concubine Zheng's bedroom.

……

Zhao Ying, on the other hand, stayed in the courtyard where Yue Ji and the seven concubines lived.

After such a small episode, Yue Ji's face became visible to the naked eye, and she was no longer evasive and submissive as before. Although she still respected Mi Ji and Wang Nan, she finally had a bit of a hostess. posture.

The other seven concubines also breathed a sigh of relief.

When they came to Xianyang from afar, they didn't dare to expect a high status. Seeing Yueji's treatment now, they couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.They are not afraid of being left out, but they are afraid of being thrown there like garbage and completely forgotten.

It is already the third day back to Xianyang.

Although the First Emperor didn't send anyone to urge him, Zhao Ying didn't stay at home too much. He got up early the next morning and went straight to the palace.After leaving for more than three months, all the government affairs must be put on Shi Huang's head again. Based on his understanding of Shi Huang's temperament, during this period, the old man may have started the workaholic mode again.

In case of exhaustion, it will be a real big trouble.

When he arrived at the palace, he found that the first emperor was not there. He couldn't help showing a faint smile, and turned around to go to the bedroom of the eldest mother Concubine Zheng. When he got there, he saw that the old couple were sitting opposite each other and had breakfast.

"Greetings to Elder Father and Elder Mother—"

Seeing this kid strolling in, Shihuang always felt that there was something wrong with the way this brat looked at him, so he cursed angrily.

"Stinky boy, you still know how to come here—have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, hurry up and eat. After eating, go to help Daddy with work..."

Hearing this, Zhao Ying squeezed over with a bitter face, and while beckoning the maid at the side to prepare chopsticks for him, at the same time complained to Concubine Zheng who was sitting at the side.

"Mother, look, father knows how to catch me as a coolie..."

"That's not because you arrested your father's CRRC government order to be a coolie. If your father doesn't arrest you, it's the worst thing to catch..."

Concubine Zheng replied with a smile, then got up herself and served Zhao Ying a bowl of porridge.

"Thank you aunt—"

Zhao Ying took it with both hands, and then looked at Shi Huangdi, who seemed to be drinking the porridge as if nothing had happened, but was actually listening to his side with his ears up, and replied with a smile.

"Auntie, you don't know. Although Zhao Gao is good at writing, proficient in laws, good at government affairs, and cautious in doing things, he was born in a hidden palace and has a handicap. He is afraid of the great Qin and has no virtue. I don't think it's a good thing to be around Dafather..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and looked at Zhao Ying who was sitting opposite him with some surprise.Zhao Ying stopped what he was doing, and looked at the First Emperor calmly.

"I know that the elder father is so powerful that he won't care about Zhao Gao's small CRRC government order, but you don't have to care about it, but as a grandson, I have to think about the elder father..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying winked at Emperor Shi with a sly face.

"What's more, Zhao Gaojing offered poisonous pills, the crime is unforgivable, and now he has become one of my lowly servants who raise horses and drive carts. As the emperor, you will not go back on your word and rob people like my grandson, right? ..."

First Emperor:……

Not to mention, he really thought, without Zhao Gao as a helper, he really felt inconvenient everywhere during this time.But in front of his wife, being blocked by this stinky boy, he really couldn't bear it for a while, so he could only grunt angrily.

As if angry, he picked up his rice bowl and drank porridge.

Concubine Zheng who watched from the side couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Ying didn't care about him, seeing him finish his drink, he got up cheerfully and filled a bowl for him himself.

First Emperor:……

"Stop drinking!"

"Okay—"

Zhao Ying put away the first emperor's bowls and chopsticks very simply.

First Emperor:……

Forget about such a grandson!

After eating, Zhao Ying was naturally captured by the first emperor and made him a young man.After three months of hard work, he finally regained his relaxed and joyful feeling. Lying on the rocking chair, the first emperor, who was shaking the recliner once in a while, looked leisurely at the emperor's eldest grandson who was handling government affairs at his desk, with a hint of happiness in his eyes. A gratified smile.

He just randomly checked the few memorials that his grandson had just dealt with. Compared with before, he was more calm and mature.

The speed of growth is visible to the naked eye.

"The imperial examination is coming soon. I am going to let you, Li Si, and Meng Yi be the chief examiners of this imperial examination—you should think about it and come up with the questions..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Somewhat unexpectedly, he stopped the writing brush in his hand, turned his head to look at the calm and breezy cloud, just like the first emperor who was talking about something trivial.

"Father, the imperial examination to select a scholar is a grand ceremony for the state to select talents. After all, I am still a little younger..."

Shi Huang glanced at him and said calmly.

"So what? Who dares to say a gossip..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Seeing that Emperor Shi Huang had made up his mind, he could only nod with a wry smile.

"it is good--"

Only then did a smile appear on Shi Huang's face.

"You just do whatever you want, there is a big father here to help you out - you can express whatever thoughts you have, and let the world see the mind, courage and talents of the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor..."

Zhao Ying nodded seriously.

"Don't dare to let Dafather down!"

The First Emperor ignored him, and closed his eyes lazily. Although he didn't feel anything wrong with his body recently, his energy was getting weaker and weaker.

But, fortunately, I still have the grandson of the emperor!

……

The hall was quiet again.

The grandparents and grandchildren, one is responsible for handling government affairs with a pen and a quick book, and the other is responsible for closing your eyes and resting your mind, paddling for fish, each performing its duties, and cooperating tacitly.Looking at the scene in front of him, Hei's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyes again.

"Li Shiqi..."

Zhao Ying, who was dealing with government affairs, suddenly stopped the brush in his hand, and picked up a memorial in front of him with some surprise, because the inscription on it was a very familiar name - Li Shiqi!

Unexpectedly, just over three months after his expedition, this guy transformed himself into the censor of Daqin, and mixed into the team negotiating between Daqin and the Huns.

And the memorial in front of him came from the hand of that Li Shiqi.

This made him have to pay more attention to it.

He was extremely skeptical that it was from this person that Hu Hai took the initiative to ask for the appointment as the captain of the Imperial Guard.Moreover, this arrangement, even now, he is unable to break through.

He couldn't jump out and tell Shi Huangdi, Eldest Father, your little son has ulterior motives, and after you die, he might pass on the imperial decree, slaughter the royal family, and eventually destroy the entire Great Qin Empire...

From the standpoint of being a grandson, it is not appropriate to even propose to remove Hu Hai from this position.

The only thing he can think of now is checks and balances.

Ziying was the first step at the beginning, and he himself was the second step. If the first emperor really wanted to go on tour again, he would try to let himself be included in the tour team.

"What happened to Li Shiqi..."

The First Emperor, who was resting with his eyes closed, couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes when he heard the words.

That Li Shi also had other impressions. He was recommended by his youngest son Hu Hai. He had personally met him. He was quite intelligent, and he was indeed a rare talent.

Agreeing him to join the team negotiating with the Huns actually meant that he wanted to be further promoted and reused.

"He made a memorial..."

Zhao Ying frowned, took the memorial, got up and walked to the side of the first emperor.

"Father, take a look..."

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Ying in surprise. As his eldest grandson became more and more mature in handling government affairs, it was rare to see him in such a difficult situation.

This is a memorial requesting the imperial court to retain the strength of the Xiongnu to contain Donghu.

Compared with the Xiongnu, in this era, Donghu is the real overlord on the grassland.Originally, he lived next to the country of Yan, but after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the country of Yan, it became a border with Great Qin.

This is a powerful tribe connected to the Xiongnu in the west and Daqin in the south.

The strength is even higher than that of the Huns.

I don’t know if it’s because of the restraint of the Huns. The Donghu of this era is different from the Xiongnu who always thought of going to the Great Qin to fight the autumn wind from time to time. He focused his attention on the grassland, and there were frequent wars with the Huns.

But it was also because of Li Shiqi's memorial that Zhao Ying felt a little tricky.

Because Li Shiqi made a proposal that he could hardly refuse.

Cure Hu with Hu!

It is suggested that the imperial court try to make concessions in negotiations with the Xiongnu to preserve the strength of the Xiongnu so as to contain Donghu.

"The Xiongnu is weak, but the Donghu is strong. Your majesty is wise and sees thousands of miles away. Why do you need to take the meager profits of the Xiongnu to encourage the Donghu and add another tiger and wolf neighbor to our Great Qin?"

This is the policy of restraint!

If it wasn't for him, he subconsciously felt that Li Shiqi might be harboring evil intentions, so he almost approved it directly.

Because Li Shiqi's proposal was almost a conspiracy.

Properly maintaining the strength of the Huns can indeed contain Donghu.

If the Xiongnu's strength is greatly damaged because of this negotiation, it is very likely that they will be directly annexed by the eyeing Donghu. At that time, a nomadic people with extremely powerful strength may really appear in the north of Great Qin.

Looking at the memorabilia in front of him, Emperor Shi Huang couldn't help showing a hint of emotion in his eyes.

The current situation is there. Although the Great Qin has swept the universe and swept Liuhe, the world is still undecided, especially in the land of the six kingdoms of Shandong, where undercurrents are surging and the hearts of the people are not attached.

Daqin must not sit back and watch a powerful and unified tribe appear on the grassland.

"I always feel that there seems to be something wrong..."

Zhao Ying looked at the First Emperor hesitantly, and the First Emperor pondered for a while.

"Call the Left Prime Minister Li Si and Shang Qing Meng Yi to meet!"

Although it was said that they were calling for a discussion, Zhao Ying knew that his eldest father might have really thought about it, and the rest might be to discuss the feasible scale.

Great!

This Li Shiqi was really extraordinary. As soon as this idea came out, even if he knew that the purpose of this guy might not be simple, he had to be tempted.

This was the first time he encountered such a difficult opponent after time travel.

Soon, Zuo Xiang Li Si and Shang Qing Meng Yi walked in quickly.

"I have seen His Majesty—"

The First Emperor nodded slightly, and signaled Zhao Ying to pass the memorial to the two of them to watch.
