my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 439 Killing two birds with one stone

Zhao Ying was startled for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"Thank you, aunt, for reminding me, I understand..."

Looking at Zhao Ying who was leaving briskly, Empress Zheng couldn't help but have a complicated look in her eyes. Mr. Gao was her legitimate son, and Mrs. Zheng was her niece. How could she not hesitate?

But she knew better that her son and niece could not possibly be the rival of Ying'er.

Although he looks gentle, he is actually cruel in his methods.

If one day, things really get out of hand...

Mrs. Zheng sighed, turned around and went back to her bedroom, but where was the half smile on her face?

"They are all a restless bunch——"

Empress Zheng shook her head imperceptibly. She had tried to persuade Mrs. Zheng at first, but in the end she couldn't persuade her. What else could she do?

"Hei Lao, there have been some changes recently due to the death of Medical Officer Xia..."

……

"Ying, I have met three elders——"

"Based on the two confirmations, I am convinced that Doctor Xia's good health is a sign of longevity. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have at least a hundred years of life..."

Doctor Xia is dead, what benefits can those people get?

Even Wei Liaozi and Wang Jian couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Having said this, Zhao Ying looked around at everyone calmly.

Looking at the veteran generals Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and Taiwei Liao who were busy getting up, Zhao Ying couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face, took two steps quickly, and saluted first.

"This benefit must be big enough, so big that they are even willing to take the risk of being discovered by Big Father..."

"If there is something really abnormal about Medical Officer Xia's death, we just need to see who will benefit from it and what kind of benefits will be obtained after Medical Officer Xia's death."

"My eldest father and the three elders, have you ever remembered that last year, Mr. Huang Shi and Miss Xu Fu stayed at my house for a while..."

Back then, the pair of masters and disciples lived in the emperor's grandson's house. How could such a thing be hidden from their eyes? At first, I don't know how many people wanted to visit this master and apprentice in person. Even the First Emperor had the idea of ​​going there to have a look.

As soon as these words came out, even the First Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Nine times out of ten——"

When Zhao Ying said this, he smiled.

At this moment, even Wei Liaozi, Wang Jian and others couldn't help but change their expressions. The First Emperor subconsciously looked at each other and the Black Controller, almost speaking in unison.

The three people hurriedly avoided returning the gift.

Zhao Ying nodded seriously.

Having said this, Zhao Ying turned to look at the First Emperor and others and said seriously.

"Thank you, old general, for reminding me, but things naturally won't reach that point. In fact, this matter is very simple. You only need to think about it in reverse to figure out what is going on..."

Seeing Wei Liaozi and the old general Wang Jian, although they did not speak directly, they all pricked up their ears at this time, with questioning looks in their eyes. Even the First Emperor looked over calmly. Only then did Zhao Ying straighten up. He looked up.

"Your Highness, this is no joke. You know, after Medical Officer Xia passed away, Manager Hei and I went to express our condolences in person, and found nothing unusual..."

Seeing Hei's somewhat pale expression, Zhao Ying's heart moved.

"I have never heard that His Highness is coming back soon. Why is he coming back in such a hurry this time..."

After hearing Zhao Ying's analysis, the smiles on the faces of Wei Liaozi, Wang Jian and others gradually disappeared, and even the First Emperor's expression became a little more solemn.

Wang Jian looked solemn.

"What's more, Medical Officer Xia has already been laid to rest..."

In this day and age, it was not a simple matter to open a coffin and conduct an autopsy. What's more, Xia Wuqi was the closest and most trusted medical officer of the First Emperor, and had served the First Emperor for decades.

After sitting down and exchanging a few words, Meng Wu put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Zhao Ying with some confusion.

However, they were all declined by Huang Shigong on the grounds of physical illness.

The First Emperor and others didn't know why Zhao Ying suddenly mentioned this, but they still nodded in cooperation.

"During that time, I had a lot of contact with Huang Shigong, so I learned some skills of fortune-telling under the influence of my ears and eyes. Moreover, I usually read a lot of miscellaneous books, including hundreds of schools of thought, medicine, divination, and astrology. Bao, there are also some medical officer methods that can be seen, heard and inquired——"

Xu Fu has always had the ability to tell people, and Huang Shigong is even more famous all over the world.

When Zhao Ying returned to the First Emperor's side, three very familiar faces had already appeared in the main hall where the First Emperor's daily review of memorials was held.

"Your Highness, you mean..."

Zhao Ying didn't show off and said seriously.

Zhao Ying naturally heard the reminder in Wang Jian's words and nodded with a smile.

"Elect the Human Doctor!"

"You mean, there is something fishy about Xia Wuji's death?"

On the contrary, the black manager who was waiting on the side suddenly felt something in his heart, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Medical Officer Xia is my father's most trusted medical officer. Who among the ordinary people would plot against such a highly respected and elderly man? If there is no huge benefit involved, who would be willing to take such a big risk?"

"I don't dare to be a gift to His Highness..."

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly became audible.

If the other party really has this purpose...

Their purpose is almost obvious.

The First Emperor's face also looked a little embarrassed, because not long ago, he was discussing with the Black Controller how to select a group of people with excellent medical skills from among the people to serve as officials in the palace.

He suddenly understood why his eldest grandson, who was so good, suddenly marched in a hurry and rushed back to Xianyang from Kuaiji County in just a few days.

Damn it, he is worried about this!

"How brave!"

The First Emperor's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

"Manager Black, I'll leave this matter to you..."

"promise!"

Hei Jingjing stepped out of the queue, with a murderous look in his eyes that could not be concealed.

If the emperor's eldest grandson hadn't arrived, he would have almost committed an unforgivable crime.

Seeing that the black manager was about to stride out, Zhao Ying stood up quickly and blocked the black manager's way.

"Hei Lao, wait a minute..."

Upon hearing this, Hei hurriedly stopped, turned around, and saluted respectfully.

"Please give me your instructions..."

"Hei Lao, we must investigate this matter secretly and don't make it public..." It's impossible for the imperial court to just issue an announcement to recruit talented people and seek medical officers, then turn around and arrest people and then chop them up. If it really happened, it would be really harmful to the credibility of the imperial court.

What's more, it's not appropriate for ordinary people to know about this kind of thing.

"Excuse me, veteran!"

Black bowed again and then hurriedly went down.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little solemn because of this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile.

"It's just a guess. You don't need to be too nervous. In fact, as long as you don't let people with unknown background come into contact with your great father's clothing, food, housing, transportation, daily diagnosis and treatment, even if there are some people with ulterior motives and daring actions, you don't need to worry too much... …”

The First Emperor had also adjusted himself at this time, smiled and waved his hand.

"They're just clowns. If it doesn't work, just cut them all off..."

Zhao Ying:......

He looked at the First Emperor dumbfounded.

"Father, how did you get such a violent temper? It's just a matter of thinking about it, it's not that far yet..."

If others had said this, the First Emperor would have been unable to control his temper. But for some reason, when Zhao Ying said this, not only was he not angry, but he felt quite friendly. He looked at Zhao Ying and cursed with a smile.

"I'm not afraid that you will be too troublesome - forget it, forget it, it's hard to be a good person. Since you have so many bad things, I'll leave this matter to you. I don't care..."

Looking at the grandfather and grandson chatting freely in front of them, Wei Liaozi, Wang Jian and Meng Wu all wisely remained silent.

"Uncle, since we have already issued a recruitment order and have gathered so many talented people who are proficient in medical skills, I think it would be such a waste if we just forget about it..."

Having said this, the look on Zhao Ying's face finally became serious.

"Father, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible..."

The First Emperor waved his hand indifferently.

"Whatever is feasible or not, you can do it if it's feasible. If it's not feasible, you can just change it in the future. It's not a big deal. You just go ahead and do it. If you get out of trouble, I will be there for you..."

Zhao Ying:......

No, Father, you—

Wei Liaozi, Wang Jian and Meng Wu on the side couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

What is this called king, minister, ancestor and grandson?

This means that it doesn’t matter if His Highness the Emperor Changsun is allowed to do whatever he wants!

Can this still be called preference?

This is simply indulgence on your part.

If the emperor's eldest grandson is really useless, with your attitude, he will be spoiled.

The three of them were all old foxes for thousands of years. It was hard to tell at this moment that His Majesty was clearly taking this opportunity to convey a clear attitude to them.

But the most important thing about this kind of thing is the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers. With their current status, it is naturally impossible for them to get up and bow to Zhao Ying because of this, so they all stroked their gray hair. Beard, jokingly followed the First Emperor's words.

"Your Highness, look, with His Majesty protecting you like this, what do you have to worry about..."

Zhao Ying could only smile bitterly.

"What I mean is to make full use of these people, select real medical experts as doctors of medicine, open a special medical school in Xianyang, let them give public lectures, and cultivate medical talents for our Daqin..."

As soon as Zhao Ying said this, everyone present couldn't help showing a look of interest, and even the First Emperor couldn't help but sit up straight.

In this era, medical astrology is still an extremely niche circle.

Unlike Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and other schools that want everyone to come and learn their own knowledge, these people are basically passed down from father to son, master and apprentice, and are not accessible to ordinary people.

Even if the First Emperor specially selected these books and allowed them to be circulated and studied all over the world, it would be difficult for you to learn the Tao without the guidance of a dedicated teacher.

"If they value their own broomsticks and refuse to teach them how to do it..."

Wei Liaozi was well aware of people's attitudes toward their own knowledge in this era, and was very worried that if those people did not cooperate, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, who held His Majesty's privileges, would become angry and do something drastic.

When Zhao Ying saw this, he smiled and cupped his hands.

"Then we will honor his position, promote his name, and provide generous rewards to his children and heirs..."

Hearing this, Wei Liaozi couldn't help but get up from the table, bowed deeply to Zhao Ying, and then bowed twice to the First Emperor with genuine emotion.

"When you have a son, you should be like the emperor's eldest grandson! Your Majesty, if you have a grandson like this, what else can I ask for..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Wei Qing, please don't praise him too much, lest this brat loses his composure because of his pride..."

Although he spoke so modestly, the smile in his eyebrows showed that he was more than satisfied with the emperor's eldest grandson in front of him.

A king certainly holds the power of life and death, but he also holds the most important weapon of the country.

He was not afraid that Zhao Ying would not kill people. He was afraid that Zhao Ying would kill too many people and forget about another kind of power in his hand.

Respect his official position, give him a high title, and give him a generous salary!

This is the most important and effective method of the imperial court. The world is troubled, who can escape the shackles of fame and fortune? Even some people don't seek fame in front of them, but they seek a name that will go down in history.

As a king, learning to control and manage people with fame and fortune is a hundred times more important than learning to scare people with murder.

This kid Zhao Ying is a born king.

Seeing that the First Emperor was in a good mood, Zhao Ying decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Uncle, I remember that there are still a few empty palaces next to Jiangshan Shejisi. Why not just use them and set them up as academic rooms to teach students medical skills..."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Wei Liaozi and Wang Jian, especially Wei Liaozi, couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying with an unprecedented look.

Over the years, the reason why he has been relegated to the second line is that although he holds the position of Taiwei, he rarely interferes with the affairs of the court. Although he has the intention of keeping a low profile, he is also dissatisfied with the First Emperor's extravagant desires and great achievements.

Emperor Changsun’s suggestion was really to his liking!

What he was dissatisfied with was not that the First Emperor built a large palace, but that the First Emperor used all the people in the world to support his own enjoyment. If Epang Palace can become a place where medical skills are passed down and a school where medical skills are taught, then what else is there to say?

Even the most powerful person in the world probably can’t find a single fault!

This is clearly killing two birds with one stone.

The emperor's grandson was taking advantage of the situation and taking this opportunity to resolve the grievances of the people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and looked at the First Emperor who was standing aside. He saw the First Emperor pointing at the emperor's eldest grandson and laughing and scolding him angrily.

"You stinky boy, you know that you are thinking about this little thing about the great father every day, and a Jiangshan Sheji Secretary can't satisfy you - forget it, forget it, anyway, the whole front hall is occupied by you stinky boy, this afang I might as well give the palace to you, and you can make arrangements..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Dad. This is a timely help. To be honest, during this period, I was thinking about whether I could build an inclusive university in Xianyang that would bring together hundreds of schools of thought..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile.

"No, my eldest father, you just gave Afang Palace to me——"

After hearing Zhao Ying's arrangement, the old general Wang Jian, who had been holding his heart in his heart, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Ying with admiration in his eyes.
