my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 286 Emperor Shihuang: Why do I need people to know what I do?

But can Zhao Ying really ignore the feelings of the first emperor?
No matter how incompetent Hu Hai is, no matter how incompetent, no matter how much he made a mistake, he is also the most beloved youngest son of the first emperor.

Killing Hu Hai can certainly prevent possible future troubles and prevent history from slipping back to its original track.

But then what—

At this critical juncture in history, if because of this incident, a thorn was planted in Shi Huangdi's heart and made Shi Huangdi give up himself, would there be another Hu Hai in the future?

You know, there are more than 20 sons of the first emperor!
Even if you kill the Eighteenth Prince——

There are more than 20 sons to choose from.

Although most of these sons failed to leave their names, and after traveling through time, they did not find any outstanding talents, but how can Hu Hai be so outstanding?

The most important thing is the mind of the First Emperor.

These thoughts flashed by, and Zhao Ying made up his mind instantly. He squatted down, lifted Hu Hai who was hugging his ankle, and sighed softly.

"Uncle Shiba, you have to remember that you are the son of the eldest father, the son of our Great Qin Empire, you should have your own dignity - crying like this, begging for mercy from a junior like me, what do you look like..."

As he said that, he also thoughtfully helped Hu Hai tidy up his collar.

Life hangs in the hands.

Hu Hai hurriedly wiped the tears off his face, standing in front of Zhao Ying like a child who made a mistake, at a loss for what to do.

Shi Huang couldn't help but sighed again.

Compared with my eldest grandson, my son is really——

Ugh……

"Ying'er, you must trust me—you know, the eighteenth uncle loves you the most, and everyone in Xianyang knows that our uncle and nephew have the best relationship..."

Although he stopped crying and hugged his ankles, Hu Hai still held Zhao Ying's sleeve tightly like a child who was afraid of getting lost, looking up at Zhao Ying's face, hoping to see a little bit of approval .

Zhao Ying patted Hu Hai on the shoulder, and looked back at the gloomy Emperor Shihuang.

"Father, although all the evidence points to Uncle Shiba, but—"

Zhao Ying paused for a moment, and then gave a deep salute to the First Emperor again.

"But after all, he is my eighteenth uncle, the son of my eldest father, and my brother who is very caring and caring. I——I want to believe in eighteenth uncle..."

Looking at the eldest grandson who bowed to the ground and refused to get up, Shi Huang's eyes couldn't help but softened a little.

Of course he appreciates that his grandson is decisive and ruthless in killing, but why doesn't he like that this child is affectionate, righteous and values ​​family affection?

Which emperor would like to see his successor raise the butcher's knife against his descendants?

Hu Hai's kind of blood relatives cleaning, thanks to the fact that Emperor Shihuang didn't know, otherwise he would have to climb out of the coffin and crush him eighteen times, regretting that he hadn't thrown him against the wall back then, and then stepped on ten thousand feet.

Now, this child, who has obviously been wronged and plotted against, doesn't say a word about the crimes of the most likely mastermind behind the scenes, only saying that he is willing - this must be because he is afraid of hurting his elder father's heart.

This child is so sensible, how can he, as the eldest father, remain indifferent and watch this child bear the grievances that he shouldn't bear at his age?

"You don't need to plead for this evil..."

The First Emperor shook his head slightly, and looked at Hu Hai who was beside him.

"Since Li Shiqi, all the people involved in the case belong to you. Even if you don't know about today's incident, you can't escape the crime of ignorance..."

When Emperor Shi Huang said this, his eyes gradually returned to ice-coldness.

"But for the sake of Ying'er's pleading for you, from today onwards, you will immediately resign from all your duties and return to the mansion to contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors. Without my will, you will not be allowed to step out of the mansion for the rest of your life..."

This is clearly house arrest, and it is the kind of lifelong one.

When Hu Hai heard this, his face turned pale.

He knew that he was completely finished.

It's colder than my elder brother.

But he took a life—he knew what would happen to him if those charges fell on him, and if His Majesty did not forgive him, his eighteen lives would not be enough to kill him.

Hu Hai lost the tower like a fog, and went down in a daze.

But the butcher's knife of the first emperor was not over yet.

From the royal family, to the imperial city army, from the imperial court to the Xianyang county government, almost all the relevant people were washed in blood.

The eighteenth son is cold, who knows if people like himself will be purged.

then……

In front of the eldest son's mansion, there was a bustling crowd again, and there was an endless stream of people queuing up to see each other.

To everyone's surprise, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, did not take the opportunity to annex the forces that originally belonged to the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai and expand his influence. Instead, he plunged into the palace and escaped.

Seeing his eldest grandson hiding in his hall and refusing to go back, Shi Huang couldn't help crying and laughing.

"What's the matter with you hiding here every day - people can't wait to expand the power in their hands every day, how can you avoid it for fear..."

Zhao Ying lay on the rocking chair of the First Emperor, waving his hands wearily.

"Why should I take over, I have a great father, why should I make such trouble for myself..."

First Emperor:……

Angrily, he leaned over and twisted his ears and pulled him up from his rocking chair.

"You dog, don't be a son of man, you are afraid of trouble with your feelings, so just throw them all to the father, right..."

Zhao Ying bared his teeth exaggeratedly.

"It hurts, hurts - slow down, slow down..."

Seeing that Emperor Shi Huang didn't intend to spare him, he sighed in resignation.

"Father, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I have enough errands under my hands. If there are more, I won't be able to keep busy-----and the people under Uncle Eighteen are a mixed bag. I don't have the leisure time—ahem, I don't have the energy to help him sort out these things, and it's just right to leave it to the father..."

Dog things, finally tell the truth, right?

Regarding this eldest grandson who was unwilling to make progress, the first emperor had nothing to do, so he could only say with a dark face.

"Anyway, you have to go back. You are so old, and you have been here for a few days. If you don't go back, I'm afraid the court officials will have to impeach you..."

Speaking of this, the first emperor hated him for being indisputable.

"What's more, you hide here every day, when will I be able to embrace my great-grandson!"

Looking at the Emperor Shihuang who had made up his mind, Zhao Ying sighed helplessly. He knew that if he didn't leave, his elder father would dare to let someone tie him back.

Forget it, staying in the palace every day is not an option, let's go back.

After squatting for several days in a row, there was no sign of the emperor's eldest grandson.

The people outside felt even more uneasy, so the number increased instead of decreasing, more...

This is surprising.

Zhao Ying had a headache.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ying simply asked someone to open the door and let them all in.These people were immediately overjoyed, and they felt a sense of happiness that they could see the moon when the clouds opened.

Especially when I saw the gift I carefully prepared was dragged down, my heart was even more moved, tears were so hanging in my eyes.

"I have seen His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson..."

Everyone stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Zhao Ying looked around at the crowd, raised his hand slightly, and motioned for everyone to excuse himself, and then he said seriously.

"Everyone, I already know why you are here. It's not that I am arrogant and reject people thousands of miles away, but that there is really no need..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying cupped his hands in the direction of Zhangtai Palace.

"In the past, no matter whether you worked under my eighteenth uncle or under me, they were all the servants of our Daqin. As long as you work hard, be honest and diligent, and be loyal to my Daqin, then you are a Good officer - don't worry too much..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying's face darkened slightly.

"On the contrary, if you are a vegetarian, corrupt and incompetent, and a common people, then you are the moths and scum of our Daqin, and you are the enemy of my Zhao Ying. Even if you try to curry favor with me, it is useless—go back and do things with your heart..."

After speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that everyone can leave.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how true or false what the emperor's eldest grandson said, but now that things have come to this, what else can they do?I can only go back with a heavy heart.

But in his heart he was always thinking about Zhao Ying's "teaching" today, fearing that His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, would catch something.

For a while, in Xianyang City, the efficiency of the various yamen's work was greatly improved, and even the atmosphere in the officialdom improved a lot.The matter of the emperor's eldest grandson convincing people with virtue and influencing the officials, under the impetus of intentional or unintentional people, became a good talk for a while.

And in an extremely exaggerated way, spread to all directions.

……

Zhangtai Palace.

The first emperor held the teacup in his hand leisurely and looked at Hei who was standing with his hands down.

"How are things going..."

The black rules are well-behaved.

"Public opinion has risen, and His Highness's reputation is even better than before..."

Having said that, Hei secretly took a look at Shi Huangdi's face, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, for Your Highness, has really put all his heart and soul into it—if His Majesty knows that His Majesty has done this for him, I don't know how he would feel..."

The First Emperor smiled and shook his head.

"I do things for him, why should he know..."

Having said that, Emperor Shihuang put down his teacup with a slightly emotional tone.

"What I want is a grandson of the emperor whom everyone expects, a man at the helm who is more popular than me and holds more esteem - as for whether he knows or not, what does it matter?"

Having said this, Emperor Shi Huang couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Isn't my eldest grandson not filial enough?"

On Hei's always serious face, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

"Your Highness is pure filial piety, rare in the world..."

The First Emperor smiled.

"It's okay..."

At that time, the setting sun shone on the two old men, and there was an indescribable tranquility and easygoing.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know this.

At this time, he was happily listening to Zhang Liang's report.

"...a total of 20 yuan, [-] pieces of cloth, [-] dendrobiums of pearls, [-] pairs of jade ruyis, and other rare antiques, ten boxes..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's tone suddenly became a little strange.

"Three boutique glazed statues..."

Zhao Ying: ...

In this era, is the routine of gift giving already so heavy?Today, who doesn't know that the shopkeeper Yu of Liuli Workshop is the father of His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, concubine Yu Ji?

Because Zhao Ying controls the number of colored glaze workshops that flow to the market, the price of colored glaze works in Xianyang City is still high. For example, the three glazed works Zhang Liang mentioned are still expensive.

He couldn't help but frowned, and looked at Zhang Liang who was standing with his hands down.

"Who sent this..."

"Dazai Yinghu, Taifu Yuchang, Tingwei Jian Youping—"

Zhao Ying nodded thoughtfully.

Dazai is a senior official under Fengchang, Taipu is one of the most important officials under Dianke, and Tingweijian is one of the two most important officials under Tingwei.

This is a very important force.

Especially Dazai, who was in charge of the first emperor's diet, was an extremely important position.If my eighteenth uncle really wanted to do something, it would be really convenient and easy.

As far as he knows, there are more than a dozen ways to make people collapse unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, my [-]th uncle, who has some tricks, even got on top with these people.

Thinking that in his previous life, the first emperor collapsed before he was 50 years old, and died of illness while traveling around the world, Zhao Ying had no lack of malicious speculations, whether there was any shadow of this Dazai and his eighteenth uncle among them.

Fortunately, that eighteenth uncle is cold now, and this Dazai has finally surfaced.

"Help me write a post, just say that tomorrow, I will invite the three of them to drink in Tianxiang Pavilion..."

The reason for choosing Tianxiang Pavilion is because there are many people in Tianxiang Pavilion who are themselves the elite seconded by Heibingtai.These were his eyes, but he also knew that these were also the eyes of his great father.

What he can see will also appear in front of his elder father.

Although he knew that his elder father might not have any doubts about him, but he still didn't want to allow any misunderstanding between him and his elder father.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, but still clapped his hands.

"Your Highness, these three people have high positions and important relationships, so they should not act rashly..."

He knew the temperament of his highness, he was really afraid that his highness would turn around and dig a hole to bury the three of them.

Based on his understanding of his Highness, he can really do this kind of thing.

Zhao Ying glanced at him somewhat unexpectedly, and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I only have the Lord to do—"

Seeing what Zhao Ying said, Zhang Liang wisely stopped talking.

Instead, another topic was brought up with great interest.

"Your Highness, that elder brother of Zhou Yin is here today..."

"Zhou Yin?"

Zhao Ying's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

"Where is he now?"

Looking at the excited Zhao Ying, Zhang Liang couldn't help but twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to that Zhou Yin.

what--

This old man, it's over, he might not be able to go back after being targeted by His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

Just like...

Zhang Liang felt that this was also very good.

Betrayed and changed one's will, betrayed the organization, and he was not alone. Didn't everyone change? Can everyone change?
This is called a good bird chooses a tree to perch on!

This is called conforming to the general trend, and those who know current affairs are heroes——

When did I, Zhang Liang, become a traitor?
