my grandfather was qin shi huang

The emperor's eldest grandson was leaving, and he was leaving as soon as he said so.

The news that they were leaving had just spread in the morning, and in the afternoon the army broke out of camp and roared away.

There is no trace of sloppiness.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"Did something happen? Why did His Highness leave in such a hurry?"

Outside the city gate, Li You was holding a willow branch covered with fresh green in his hand. Before he had time to send it out, Li You looked at the young master Jianglu beside him with searching eyes.

Jiang Lu shook his head with a solemn expression.

"I have no idea--"

Having said this, Jiang Lu shook his head gently, his eyes filled with deep worry. At this time, he naturally asked Zhao Ying privately, but this time, Zhao Ying's tone was extremely strict.

He just reassured him and told him to let his uncle take his place in Kuaiji County to keep an eye on the policies being implemented in Kuaiji County and ensure the continuity of these policies. He must not be shaken by his sudden departure. .

"That kid never makes secrets. This time he suddenly came back..."

Jiang Lu wanted to speak but stopped.

He is straightforward and strong, and does not like to beat around the bush. He is not stupid.

Although he had some vague guesses about some things, he would definitely not reveal them to his mouth until he had definite information.

Li You's eyes couldn't help but flash.

No more words were spoken.

"Sir, let's go back. His Highness's departure has left a lot of unfinished business. We must keep an eye on His Highness to prevent any trouble..."

Li You subconsciously wrapped the soft wicker in his hand, turned around and walked towards his mount.

Zhao Ying's departure really left him with a lot of problems.

Establish a charity hall to relieve the poor, provide free reading, promote Henan opera, promote young crops loans, encourage local wealthy people to build water conservancy projects, dig ditches, dredge rivers, exchange salt for food, solve food shortages, and at the same time encourage the garrison and civilians to farm...

Piece by piece, piece by piece, orderly and resolute.

The situation in Kuaiji County was completely activated.

But it also suddenly brought him to the forefront.

If these things were in full swing when the emperor's eldest grandson was here, once the emperor's eldest grandson left, it would be a complete mess, and Li You, the county guard, would no longer have to do it.

You may even be ridiculed by everyone in the world for it.

Fortunately, although the emperor's grandson left with his army, he left behind almost all the civil servants.

These court officials who followed His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun on his southern tour have long been accustomed to the Emperor Changsun's style, which is pragmatic and efficient, vigorous and resolute in doing things, and has strong execution ability.

Moreover, he naturally bears the mark of the emperor's eldest grandson.

In Kuaiji County, there is a seal, which is extremely useful. Sometimes it may be better than the official documents on the governor's house.

With their presence, they can ensure the smooth transition of all the policies of the emperor's grandson in Kuaiji County, and there will be no changes caused by his sudden departure. This is also the reason why Zhao Ying kept them.

This is still the top level of Kuaiji County.

Even they had doubts about the sudden departure of the emperor's eldest grandson, not to mention the local wealthy families and ordinary people who were working hard.

The emperor's eldest grandson is gone, does his original promise still count?

"I would like to emphasize again that all policies, all rewards, and all policies that benefit the head of Guizhou and local governments set by Emperor Changsun will not change in any way——"

Having said this, Li You stood up with a solemn look, looked around at everyone, and then handed over his hand to the master who was sitting majestically beside him.

"The Lord Commander is the current young master and the biological uncle of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson. Even if you don't trust me as a county guard, you should believe that His Highness's biological uncle will never let His Highness the Emperor's Grandson's promise come true. , and will never lose the face of His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun..."

Seeing Li You looking over, Jiang Lu nodded slowly.

"Yes! His Highness the Emperor Changsun had already made proper arrangements before he left - not to mention that His Highness the Emperor Changsun just returned to Xianyang and did not care about the life and death of our Kuaiji County. If something goes wrong, I can guarantee this. , I will definitely take you back to Xianyang personally to find the emperor’s grandson to seek justice for everyone..."

After Jiang Lu said this, the local wealthy families in Kuaiji County felt a little more at ease.

This was the day after the emperor's eldest grandson left.

Because of Zhao Ying's sudden departure, various policies in the county instantly came to an extremely strange standstill. Even with the team members left behind by Zhao Ying watching in person, the originally lively scene came to an inexplicable halt.

Li You also didn't expect that the people in Kuaiji County would have such a huge reaction to Zhao Ying's departure. As a last resort, he could only gather everyone together temporarily and give everyone a reassurance in front of everyone.

But the effect seems to be really very little.

Li You was so worried that he almost turned gray overnight.

He really couldn't understand that when the emperor's eldest grandson was here, he didn't do much, but these decrees could be implemented smoothly and enthusiastically.

But when it's in your own hands, it won't work.

It’s so unreasonable that he obviously doesn’t do much!

But the truth is so unreasonable.

"Sir, the plan is out..."

Li You rubbed his swollen temples and looked at Mr. Jianglu aside with a wry smile.

Jiang Lu was also scratching his head.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before finally saying something tentatively.

"When I was drinking with the emperor's eldest grandson, I often heard him read. He said that the principle of governing the people in the world is actually very simple. It boils down to one sentence: a gentleman means righteousness, and a villain means benefit. It doesn't take much to govern the country and the people. Don’t talk to them about complicated government orders, let alone talk too much about big principles. If you give them tangible and tangible benefits, they will naturally obey your rule and support your policies..."

At this point, Jiang Lu looked like he was trying to remember.

"By the way, he seems to have said that the government is simple and easy to implement. Once the court's policy is unpopular, or even openly or covertly resisted by the leaders of Guizhou, there must be something wrong with that policy. It is definitely an extremely bastard policy. …”

Having said this, Young Master Jiang Lu said tentatively.

"Tell me, are they worried that the benefits mentioned by Emperor Changsun will not be realized? How about we cash in part of it in advance?"

Li You's eyes couldn't help but get brighter and brighter as he listened to the young master's narration. He seemed to have heard similar remarks from his own aunt, but he had never been so clear or so simple.

He slapped his thigh sharply.

"Good! Just follow the master's words!"

...Soon, the storm caused by the sudden departure of the emperor's eldest grandson slowly subsided, because everyone in Kuaiji County, including those soldiers who were struggling in the mud and working overtime in the polder fields, gradually calmed down. Come back and focus on your tasks again.

Because they saw that County Governor Li You seemed to be really determined to continue the original policies of Emperor Changsun and implement the benefits set by His Highness Emperor Changsun.

Charity Hall continues to allow smoothly.

All relief grains continue to be distributed in an orderly manner, and various young crop loans are delivered to the people in good quality and quantity as always. Even the big local households have obtained part of the land deeds in advance.

Regardless of whether you are a local wealthy family or an ordinary person, the county governor's office will give you the title deed for the number of acres of land you reclaim.

As for Shiobei, do the same.

These are all real benefits.

Once these things were obtained, all speculation among the people disappeared instantly, and various tasks that had been somewhat stagnant suddenly became hot again. Li You couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, for the first time, he had a deep admiration for the emperor's eldest grandson who was too young.

He suddenly understood the reason why Aweng, his family's high-minded and left-hand prime minister, wrote a letter in person, telling him to lower his profile in front of the emperor's eldest grandson and try his best to express his goodwill.

Such an emperor's eldest grandson really has an unlimited future.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know about the little twists and turns that happened in Kuaiji County after he left. At this time, his mind was entirely on the tall old man in Xianyang City who cared deeply about him.

"Your Highness, you are worried that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to murder Your Majesty..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Once upon a time, wasn't he one of them?

He worked hard to overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and even made plans to assassinate the First Emperor more than once.

Until it fell into the hands of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson...

At the beginning, I was really forced to do it, but since when did I change my mind and really devoted myself to making suggestions for him——

Zhao Ying did not notice these changes in Zhang Liang's mind. He nodded gently while looking through the various news that had been coming from Xianyang City in the past two days.

"Something is not normal..."

When Zhang Liang heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.

"Your Highness means..."

He also read the information word for word and found nothing unusual.

"I mean, Medical Officer Xia Wuqie's death was a little abnormal..."

As Zhao Ying spoke, he subconsciously tapped the tables on the carriage. The gentle echo made his thoughts more active.

"I have dealt with Dr. Xia several times. I remember that after the New Year, just before I left Xianyang, I personally entertained him. Although he was old at the time, he had a ruddy complexion, a loud voice, a light step, and a healthy body, almost like a man in his prime. How can a man, who has already had the appearance of a long life, suddenly die without any illness?"

Later generations have speculated how old Xia Houqi, the old medical officer, lived according to Sima Qian's records in "Historical Records".

The conclusion is that it is at least one hundred, twenty or thirty years old, or even more!

He lived until the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and became good friends with Dong Zhongshu, a child at that time. He talked about his heroic feat when he threw a medicine bag in the main hall, hit Jing Ke, and rescued the First Emperor.

The speculation about this age may be a bit exaggerated.

But if Sima Qian did not lie, then at least one thing can be proved, that is, according to the original trajectory of history, Xiahou Qi was still alive and well until the Western Han Dynasty.

And now, he is dead!

Ended without illness.

It seems that there is no problem. After all, in terms of age, he is already an old man in his seventies or eighties. Even if he is dead at this time, he can be regarded as enjoying his life and living a long life.

But Zhao Ying really knew that Xia Houqie would never die so early.

Therefore, after he got the news, his first thought was that something was fishy, ​​and his second thought was that someone was going to attack the First Emperor!

Moreover, this time, it was different from the ordinary assassination, but through the medical officers around the First Emperor. Otherwise, why would they go to such trouble to assassinate an old man who was only eighty years old, also known as the man who moved the world? Medical officer?

Moreover, he was an old medical officer who won the trust of the First Emperor.

Naturally, he took a fancy to Xia Houqie's current status.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain Xia Wuji's sudden death. If you want to take action against Xia Wuqu, who has been accompanying the First Emperor for many years, you can imagine the risks involved. But they still took action. If there was nothing fishy here, Zhao Ying would never believe it.

As for why Xiahou Qi's family, and even the First Emperor's people, didn't find any clues?

That's even simpler.

First of all, people in this age group are already in their twilight years and can die at any time. If they take off their shoes tonight, they may not be able to wear them the next day. If it were not for a time traveler like Zhao Ying, knowing that this is a pioneer Few people think about the old man who died.

Secondly, there are really many ways to make people die silently without detecting any obvious abnormalities.

At least Zhao Ying himself knew that there were several ways to do it.

Zhang Liang had naturally met Xia Wuji. Although he was not as skilled in physiognomy as Xu Fu, he was also good at reading people, so he naturally believed Zhao Ying's words.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty has great trust in Xia Wuji. Now that Xia Wuji has passed away suddenly, His Majesty will not adjust the manpower of the imperial medical center so quickly, nor will anyone be able to replace Xia Houqie's position in His Majesty's heart so quickly... …”

Zhao Ying nodded slightly when he heard this.

He knew that Zhang Liang was right, but he didn't dare to bet, even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, he didn't dare to be careless. It wasn't that I wanted to rely on the blessing of the First Emperor and be the eldest grandson of the happy emperor for a few days, but I simply didn't want anything to happen to the great father who treated me as his own grandson and worked hard to cultivate him.

"Pass my order and march quickly. If you can get back to Xianyang within five days, each of you will be rewarded with a thousand coins and promoted to the first level!"

Looking at the emperor's eldest grandson with deep eyes and tightly pursed lips, Zhang Liang wisely remained silent.

He naturally knew how serious this matter could be if what Huang Zhangsun speculated was true.

Urgent marches are nothing new for this forbidden army. When they came here, Emperor Changsun had led them on many emergency marches, but never like this.

The intensity is astonishing.

If they hadn't practiced with Huang Changsun so many times before, this intensity could directly stretch their hips. Day and night, traveling hundreds of miles a day, except for very limited solutions to physiological problems and stopping to let the horse eat, even food and accommodation were solved on horseback.

If you're hungry, take a bite of cold steamed buns. If you're thirsty, take a sip of hot water on your back. If you're sleepy, take a nap on the bumpy horseback!

Thanks Chidao.

Without the smooth and fast roads built in Da Qin, no matter how anxious Zhao Ying was and how hard he rushed, he would not be able to run hundreds of miles a day.

Even so, in the end, I had to stop temporarily and rest for a night.

Because, although people can still persist, horses can't stand it anymore.

Although there are one person and three horses, they take turns riding.

This kind of intensity is already exaggerated even for those war horses. If nothing unexpected happens, with this running method, even if they return to Xianyang, most of these war horses will be destroyed. (End of chapter)
