my grandfather was qin shi huang

Li Si couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

"What does Your Majesty want? We, the ministers, should ask about it? You are lucky to be in the cabinet now and can be consulted by His Majesty. You should do your part well..."

After saying that, he went straight without looking back. From beginning to end, he never stopped for a step.

Xu Zhi stood stunned on the spot.

After a long time, he turned around and left thoughtfully.

However, he didn't notice that Li Si turned around and left with a hint of gloom in his eyes. He returned to his house and meditated alone in the study for a long time. Then he put the pen and paper in front of him and gave it to his son Li You. After writing a letter home and sealing it with fire paint, he called his close old servant in a deep voice and gave serious instructions.

"You take my token and borrow Chi Dao, and set off immediately. You must deliver this letter to You'er before the emperor's eldest grandson arrives in Kuaiji!"

The old servant knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately agreed in a deep voice, turned around and strode away.

……

Just the next day, Gongzi Gao's good news arrived in Xianyang!

This time, documents reporting victory came from the east.

“Good news—Young Master Gao conquered the East China Sea without losing any blood. He even attacked Yingzhou and Fusang, and opened up thousands of miles of territory…”

Good news, good news again!

The people of Xianyang were excited.

Especially those old Qin people who have lived in Guanzhong for generations, all of them are so proud. They hold their chests and heads high when they walk, feeling that their faces are shining.

The First Emperor was overjoyed.

He personally issued an order and ordered the three cabinet ministers, Li Chen, Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi, to lead dozens of officials from the DPRK and the Central Government to go out ten miles outside the east gate to welcome the fleet of envoys brought by Prince Gao to offer overseas specialties to the First Emperor!

The whole Xianyang was shocked!

The First Emperor personally received him. In the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he inquired in detail about the Fourth Young Master's overseas expedition. Everyone was shocked when they heard that there was really a large island hanging offshore in the depths of the sea, and that there were residents living on the island, and the island was even rich in gold and silver.

The First Emperor looked at the boxes of gold and silver that were carried to the main hall. His face was filled with joy, and the ships in the court were all shocked.

Those ministers who originally thought that Young Master Gao leading the army to sea was a waste of money and people, at this time, they completely shut their mouths, and even felt that they could send another large army...

"Young Master Gao is the land of our two counties in the Great Qin Dynasty. I have worked hard for you and passed on the decree. I made you Lord of the East China Sea and rewarded you with one hundred thousand coins, one hundred pieces of silk and ten pieces of pearls, one pair of jade, and one hundred palace maids and guards..." …”

Not only that, even Mrs. Zheng, who had been at home, was awarded the title of Mrs. Donghai. This made Mrs. Zheng's face shine even more brightly, and she spoke with more confidence than before.

She is now the only titled lady in the entire Xianyang City. She became the most envied object of ladies in the entire Xianyang city.

For a time, there were so many guests and everyone was in the limelight.

Fourth Young Master's Mansion.

When Mrs. Zheng looked at Mr. Yi, who had gray beard and hair and a fairy-like spirit, the look of respect on her face became even stronger. Regardless of her identity as Mrs. Donghai, she stood up in person and poured a cup of hot tea for Mr. Yi.

"...What the teacher taught me is that I will ask someone to prepare a generous gift and go to the palace to pay tribute to the Queen..."

Mr. Yi heard this and shook it gently.

"Madam, too much is not enough..."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately looked at Mr. Yi with some confusion.

"What do you mean by this? Sir, please clarify..."

The movements of Mr. Yi's hands could not help but stagnate slightly, but in the end he still showed a spring-like smile.

"Madam, the most important thing about friendship between people is sincerity - madam and young master are both flesh and blood relatives of the queen. Unlike ordinary relatives, the number of gifts is secondary. The most important thing is to move around more..."

When it comes to this, Mr. Yi is very meaningful.

"Today is different from the past. The young master was originally the legitimate son of His Majesty, but now he has been honored as the Lord of the East China Sea. He sits on the land of two counties, has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and has followers of Han Xin and Xiang Yu internally. Externally, he recruits talents from all over the world, and from time to time There are talented and virtuous people who have come to seek refuge. It can be said that they have already matured and become the best among His Majesty’s sons. If her own son has a future, the Queen can deliberately suppress it..."

Mrs. Zheng immediately understood.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said thoughtfully.

"Some time ago, a retainer seemed to have brought me a lot of local specialties from Yangcheng. They are still stored in the warehouse. It seems that they can be used as gifts for the Queen..."

Yangcheng is the old place of the Zheng Kingdom, and it is also the place where the natal family of Queen Zheng and Mrs. Zheng are located. A relieved smile finally appeared on Mr. Yi's face, and he cupped his hands.

"Good! This gift will definitely please the Queen..."

After receiving Mr. Yi's approval, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but be encouraged. She immediately had these Yangcheng specialties selected, packed them in exquisite gift boxes, and happily went to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen.

Sure enough, as Mr. Yi expected, Empress Zheng was very happy after seeing these Yangcheng specialties, and even became very affectionate to her niece.

At noon that day, someone specially left some food.

The two of them chatted very affectionately in the palace for a while about old things in their hometown, and then talked about Prince Gao Zai's overseas expedition for a while. The more they talked, the more cordial they felt. Since then, Mrs. Zheng went to the palace to pay her respects more and more often.

She never cares whether it is something particularly expensive, but she is never empty-handed. Sometimes, even Yangcheng pastries made by herself, or dresses sewn for Empress Zheng, are given away generously. In the past, this made Empress Zheng appreciate it more and more.

……

After this, another three days.

The good news from General Liu Ji of Zhenxi also entered Xianyang.

Along with the good news, there are also specialties from various countries in the Western Regions.

The First Emperor was overjoyed and made Liu Ji the General of Zhenxi, and promoted him to the rank of Si Chao Shu Commander! Now, Liu Bang is really only one step away from becoming a marquis. Even his wife, Lu Pheasant, was commended by the First Emperor. She was granted the title of Lady of Sishui and was given a hundred pieces of brocade and silk, ten handfuls of pearls, and a pair of jade buckets.

Lu Pheasant and Lu Yu personally sent the servants from the palace who came to deliver the order outside the palace gate.

The chamberlain turned around and saluted.

"I dare not bother Mrs. Surabaya to send her away..."

Lu Pheasant then stopped and bowed respectfully.

"Let you go slowly..."

The chamberlain smiled and nodded, then turned around and boarded the carriage.

"The wife of General Zhenxi's family is quite smart and decent..."

The two chamberlains who came to convey the order couldn't help but smile at each other, and each took out the small token of gratitude Lu Zhi had given him from their sleeves. They turned out to be two pieces of valuable jade!

After seeing off the servants who came to deliver the order, Lu Pheasant didn't even feel a sense of unreality when he returned to his yard.

She never imagined that her dissolute husband back then would be where he is today.

On the contrary, Lu Yu accepted it faster than she did.

"Sister, I didn't expect that everything Aweng said back then was true. Although my brother-in-law seems to be a little frivolous in his behavior, he is really a man of great ability..."

Looking at his excited sister, Lu Fei was so happy that he didn't forget to give a few more instructions.

"You must keep a lower profile when you are outside in the future, and you must not show off outside and cause trouble for your brother-in-law just because of this -"

"I know, I know……"

Upon hearing Lu Pheasant talk about this, Lu Yu waved her hands impatiently and turned around to pick out the rewards just given by the First Emperor.

"Sister, look, does this fabric look good? It can fit two skirts for the two of us..."

"..."

Liu Ji, who was unknown in the past, suddenly became the commander of the carriages, the title of general, and became an important minister in the Qin Dynasty. Relatives and friends from the past came to congratulate me one after another, with an attitude of humility and warmth.

Even when walking on the street, you can hear people mentioning your husband's legendary experiences in the Western Regions from time to time.

What about defeating many with less, being invincible, being so virtuous and respected that the enemy is invincible and surrendering without a fight? He has already vaguely gained the reputation of being the third general under the emperor's grandson after Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

She had some doubts as to whether the General Zhenxi they mentioned was the Liu Ji she knew well.

Of course, among these slightly exaggerated discussions, there would occasionally be a little bit of romantic stories about the General Zhenxi, his drunkenness, lust, and ten women at night, which would be used as conversation topics after dinner.

When he speaks, people's eyebrows will dance with joy, and when he listens to it, he will also show a knowing smile from time to time.

But that's all.

These rumors not only did not diminish the image of this general, but instead gave this unparalleled general of Zhenxi a sense of intimacy and authenticity.

Of course, rumors stop at the wise, and many people scoffed at the news.

Just kidding, if this general was really so ridiculous, how could he lead a large army, win many battles, and sweep across the Western Regions in such a short period of time, projecting Qin's military power to every corner of the Western Regions?

Except for the sisters Lu Pheasant and Lu Yu.

They always felt that something was not true, but the rumors behind it really sounded like something Liu Ji could do.

Of course, even if you think this way in your heart, you will not be stupid enough to publicize it to the outside world. Instead, every time someone comes to visit your home, you will proudly tell everyone about the unruly and unusual things that your husband did when he was the director of a pavilion in Surabaya. The performance of ordinary people.

Whenever this happens, it will attract the admiration and admiration of many ladies.

"Sister, you really have a good eye. You deserve to be so rich and wealthy..." (End of Chapter)
