my grandfather was qin shi huang

"Xiong Xinjiu, how dare you do this! He is clearly knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, lying on the bodies of us Chu people to suck the blood. Fortunately, we people have always been thinking about the Chu country and defended him as the king and grandson in every possible way!"

Luan County.

The head of the Pang family, Pang Cai, had a trembling beard and slapped the cases in front of him vigorously, looking around at several influential old friends in Lu'an County.

"You are all considered to be our loyal old ministers in Chu. You might as well discuss it carefully to see where we should go. We must not allow this guy to continue to act like this..."

Pang Cai's words caused everyone to nod.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

The Wan family and the Dou family are both famous families in the Chu land. Their family history can be traced back almost hundreds of years. The Dou family, in particular, is from the same lineage as the King of Chu.

Just like these two family heads, who had been prominent in the Chu region for hundreds of years, were uprooted by Xiong Xin. How could they not frighten the local wealthy families like them?

"This son is ungrateful and forgets his ancestors. He is indeed not a son of man!"

Zhaoxun, who had gray hair and beard, couldn't help but frown.

"But now, that Zhuzi is backed by Baoqin and holds power, what can we do..."

After saying that, the two old men couldn't help but look at each other, and then turned their attention to the other family heads.This gathering was said to be spearheaded by the Pang family, but in fact it was inseparable from the support of the Zhao family.

As Zhaoxun said these words, the atmosphere in the study became silent for a moment.

When Zhaoxun saw this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at a middle-aged man in his early 40s.

"Master Jing, in your opinion, what should we do..."

The head of the Jing family couldn't help but sigh slightly when his name was called. Knowing that he couldn't escape this hurdle, he could only stand up and bow his hands to everyone.

"I don't have any good ideas, but I heard that those who do evil will be punished by death. Xiong Xin betrayed his ancestors, killed Chu ministers, and exchanged the blood of Chu people for his own wealth. Do you really think that I have no men in Chu land? ?”

Speaking of this, the head of the Jing family became calmer and calmer.

"I am a man from Chu who often walks alone with a sword and sings tragic songs with generosity. I am shameless and betrays the loyal people of Chu. I don't know what kind of retribution I will receive one day. Why should we do this?" Are you worried and worried about the impending disaster?”

If possible, he really wanted to keep silent today, but who made his family weak and need to look up to the Zhao family.

Hearing this, Pang Cai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, while Zhaoxun nodded calmly.

"good!"

After saying that, Zhaoxun slowly picked up the tea cup in front of him.

"We are all Chu ministers, guarding the land for the king from generation to generation. We should help each other and not give opportunities to villains..."

As soon as Zhaoxun said this, there was a response from the surroundings. In fact, this was the fundamental reason why they were willing to come to Pang's house to discuss matters this time.There was no way, what Xiong Xin did was really too crazy and scared them.

There are Huan family and Doujia who have made the same mistake before. An knows that they are not the next Huan family and Doujia?

Because of the two bloody massacres, the atmosphere in the entire Jiangling Mansion was indescribably weird. All the wealthy families were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. They took the initiative to curb their power and no longer went out easily.

But Xiong Xin really stopped what he was doing, as if he was cleaning out the Huandou family simply because they wanted to assassinate him.

And this news spread quietly with the promotion of Henan opera and free education.

The most troublesome thing for the wealthy Chu family is that those hateful Qin people even made this incident into a piece of Henan Opera, and it was sung everywhere.

Really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Even the innocent children knew that the former king and grandson of Chu were assassinated in the street in Chu land.

Assassinating the grandson of the former King of Chu is already a regicide by a minister, and the following will offend the superior.Even if this grandson of the Prince of Chu really failed to live up to his expectations and defected to the imperial court, became the Prince of Jiangling Mansion, and even begged for mercy in front of the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin, that would still be the same.

This is morality!
Sometimes, morality is really very contemptible, and anyone can step on it, but sometimes, morality is really very heavy, and no one dares to take a step beyond it.This is also the reason why the Jing family had to go around in circles after being named by Zhaoxun.

Public opinion is uncontrollably tilting towards Xiong Xin. This situation makes the aristocratic families in Chu District feel more and more afraid to act rashly.

Of course, regarding the turbulent changes in Nanjun, there will naturally be various channels to report to the First Emperor and His Highness the Emperor Changsun.

Zhangtai Palace.

The First Emperor looked at the memorial in his hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

There was almost the same memorial on several cases in front of him.

This was the report sent back by Nanjun County Sheriff Ji Mu and Jiangling Prefecture Chief Shi Xi. Naturally, there would be no messy rhetoric in it. They just honestly talked about a series of changes after the emperor's eldest grandson arrived in Chu.Although their perspectives are different, if they corroborate each other, they will know that what the other party says is true.

Although it was not stated clearly, who the First Emperor was, he could naturally see the roots of these changes in Nanjun at a glance.He dropped the memorial in his hand and looked at Hei who was standing with his hands hanging down.

"Do you have any news about the emperor's eldest grandson...?"

Hei Ziran knew what the First Emperor was asking. He bowed silently, took out another secret book from his arms, and held it in both hands.

The First Emperor took it over casually and silently flipped through the summary of messages specially sent by Hei Bingtai from Nanjun and Changsha counties. His expression became weirder the more he looked at it.

He pondered for a long time, then put down the secret report in his hand and turned his gaze to Hei who was standing with his hands hanging down.

"What do you think about this matter..."

Hei was silent for a long time, and then he handed over his hand.

"His Highness's courage, toughness, and poisonous gaze are rarely seen in the world..."

The First Emperor did not make fun of this old servant who had been with him for decades, but nodded slightly.

"Although the methods are a bit rough, at least the judgment is correct. The chaos in Chu is not caused by the bandits or the head of Guizhou, but by the wealthy families in Chu. In order to calm down the place as soon as possible and stabilize the people's hearts, I was very lenient to them. It didn't touch their interests too much, but it caused a lot of trouble for this child..."

Having said this, the First Emperor stood up, walked to the window, looked at the southern sky, and sounded a little sad.

"I originally thought that I would do this myself so that he could be a steadfast king with peace of mind, but I never thought that he would achieve this kind of perfection for me..."

As an emperor, he naturally saw at a glance a series of his grandson's methods in Chu.

Weakening the power of local wealthy families, winning over people's hearts, and controlling public opinion are all interrelated and have already yielded initial results. As long as we persist, it may not take two generations to completely eliminate the barriers between the Chu people and make the north and the south one. , all Qin people.

Of course, for him, what satisfied him most about his grandson was not just his methods, but his keenness and courage that were exactly the same as his own.

If the means are insufficient, they can be adjusted, and this keen vision and the courage to dare to think and do are the necessary conditions for an emperor.

"Your Majesty's desire to protect His Majesty the Great Grandson is probably just as His Majesty's intention to protect His Majesty..."

Hei's words brought an unconcealable smile to the Emperor's face, and he cursed with a smile. "This brat!"

After scolding him, he turned around leisurely with his hands behind his back and said something seemingly casually.

"With this brat's merits, I will put an extra burden on him when he comes back this time. It won't be too much..."

However, no one dared to answer these words. Even Hei, who had been by his side all year round, wisely remained silent.He knew that his Majesty had always been arbitrary and had never been in the habit of accepting other people's opinions on such critical issues.

The First Emperor seemed to have become accustomed to this reaction. He returned to the side hall at the back with his hands behind his back, then walked to his recliner as usual and lay down slowly.

He closed his eyes slightly and then, as if he remembered something, he raised his eyes and asked.

"Where are Han Xin and Xiang Yu now..."

Hei Hearing this, his heart trembled, he bowed and spoke carefully.

"According to the itinerary, Marquis Jingbian should have returned to Yuyang by now, and General Xiang Yu should be able to reach Yanbei in the next two days..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly noncommittally and gradually became silent.

Just when it was dark and the First Emperor had fallen asleep, and he was about to get up and cover him with a quilt, he suddenly heard the First Emperor ask again in a faint tone.

"Has Han Xin ever brought back his concubine?"

Hei lowered his hands and whispered.

"Not really, but before leaving, I borrowed several of the Fourth Young Master's wife's most capable retainers from the Fourth Young Master's house..."

The First Emperor said softly, noncommittally, and didn't even raise his eyelids. Instead, he spoke with some hesitation.

"Since the news of the Fourth Young Master's attack on Yingzhou spread, the Fourth Young Master's house has recently received a new group of guests. It is said that most of them are talents from all over the Central Plains. The Young Master's wife seems to think highly of them. , held banquets for them every day and entertained them warmly. In addition, the young master’s wife recently visited the female relatives of several ministers in the court..."

At this point, Hei's tone hesitated a little and added.

"Our people are too far away, so I don't know what they talked about..."

The First Emperor hummed slightly, then closed his eyes again, seemingly falling asleep.Hei, who was familiar with his habits, could not help but gently help him pull aside the thin bedding, and then tiptoed out.

……

Mrs. Zheng didn't know that every move she made at this time had completely fallen into the eyes of the First Emperor. At this time, he was surrounded by a huge sense of satisfaction.

She had never felt so glorious.

Now, not to mention the group of retainers in the house who are devoted to him, just talk about the female relatives of the ministers outside, their attitude towards him is somewhat enthusiastic, and their words are quite polite.

It made her feel even more angry.

"Mr. Yi, is there anything else you want to tell me now?"

Looking at Mr. Yi, who has an immortal demeanor, the fourth lady was very respectful.

The old man whom Mrs. Zheng called Mr. Yi bowed slightly, returned the salute, and then said calmly.

"Madam, do you know where the difference between the young master and that highness is?"

When the fourth lady heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly startled. She didn't know how to answer. Although in her heart, her husband had thousands of reasons to take over that position, but if she really asked her what was the difference between Young Master Gao and Zhao Ying, She really didn't know how to answer.

Or maybe she didn't even know where her husband was better compared to her eldest nephew.

After thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said.

"What if His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, is favored in front of His Majesty?"

The old man known as Mr. Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard this. He felt a little tired. Dealing with this stupid woman was really tiring.If you speak too bluntly, it will appear that you are not profound enough to win her belief, but if you speak a little more implicitly, this woman will not be able to understand it at all...

He couldn't help but take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Only then did he maintain the attitude of an expert with a smile on his face. Yun Danfeng waved his hand gently and said softly.

"Madam, this is wrong. The battle in the world depends on one's power. Compared with that Highness, the Fourth Young Master's only difference is his power..."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of confusion on her face.

"Dare you ask sir for advice..."

Mr. Yi:…

I can only be patient and mention it carefully.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun has not only launched a variety of new farm tools, leading the food trend in and outside Xianyang, and is quite popular in front of His Majesty, but also swept across Mobei and shocked Hexi. Now he is touring the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of His Majesty. So far, his momentum has been at its peak. …”

When he said this, he spoke with sincerity and sincerity.

"In comparison, the Fourth Young Master is still too low-key. Over the years, except for leading the army to the sea and occupying Yingzhou this time, he has almost no special reputation. How can he compare with that His Highness? So, Madam, now What needs to be done is to build momentum for His Highness..."

Mrs. Zheng said in a daze.

"How to build momentum..."

When Mr. Yi heard this, he said calmly.

"Madam, why don't you find an opportunity to organize more banquets and invite some of the female relatives of the ministers to drink together..."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed in admiration.

"Sir's words really woke me up from my dream. I didn't even think of this!"

Mrs. Zheng is a woman with strong action skills. Once she has an idea in her mind, she can immediately take action. She immediately returns to the backyard and plans wholeheartedly how to organize the banquet.

Later, he simply asked someone to invite his precious niece, and the two of them got together and thought about the wives of the ministers of the court, who were acquaintances of themselves, and could be invited to the house to have wine.

……

Compared with the proud and ambitious Mrs. Zheng, the former majestic eighteenth son Hu Hai looked a little depressed and lonely. At this time, he was unshaven, smelled of alcohol, and was leaning on his old couch with a dejected expression. He stared at the empty hall in front of him in trance.

His eyes rarely move.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the familiar footsteps outside, and he raised his body slightly and looked at the person. (End of chapter)
