my grandfather was qin shi huang

"The Hall of Enlightenment..."

The guard who came in was about to report to Zhao Ying as usual, but before he finished speaking, he saw the First Emperor sitting in the hall and the eldest son Fusu, who was looking at him longingly.

I was so panicked for a moment that I didn't know who to report to.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying didn't let him get too entangled and walked straight out, smiling gently and nodding.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Zhao Ying taking the initiative to greet him, the guard who came to report was obviously relieved and said with cupped hands.

"Your Highness, General Xiang Liang is here to visit, saying that he wants to see His Highness..."

After Xiang Liang came to Xianyang, the First Emperor generously gave him the title of "empty general". After all, Xiang Liang was once a famous general in Chu State. His surrender was of great significance to the Qin Dynasty. .

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously looked back at the First Emperor.

The First Emperor probably thought of something and stood up very wisely.

"You go about your business, I'll go to the next room to rest for a while..."

Seeing that his old father had already stood up, Fusu suddenly came to his senses and quickly followed.

"I'll go accompany your eldest father..."

In an instant, the hall was clean.

Zhao Ying:......

Come back.

"I'll go greet you..."

Seeing Zhao Ying personally greeting him from a distance, Xiang Liang couldn't help but have complicated eyes. He hurriedly took a few steps and rushed forward to bow.

"Liang, I have met His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"

"General Xiang, there is no need to be polite, please come in quickly..."

Zhao Ying walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward to hold Xiang Liang's arm, and smiled heartily.

"General Xiang is here, Ying is overjoyed..."

He personally took Xiang Liang's arm and invited Xiang Liang into the living room. It wasn't until the servants brought tea that Zhao Ying asked with a smile.

"General Xiang is coming here at this time. Is there something wrong?"

Xiang Liang was hesitating, not knowing how to open his mouth. After all, Xiang Yu's situation had not been reported yet. When Zhao Ying asked about it, he stood up and left the table, gave Zhao Ying a deep salute, and said with a wry smile. .

"Your Highness, Liang is worried about the impending disaster for our Xiang family, so he has the audacity to come to the door and ask for His Highness's protection..."

Seeing this, Zhao Ying stood up quickly, stepped forward to support Xiang Liang, asked Xiang Liang to sit down, and then asked seriously.

"What does General Xiang mean by this?"

Xiang Liang smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, could it be that you have forgotten that my useless nephew married the legitimate daughter of the current Fourth Young Master. My Xiang family and the Fourth Young Master's mansion were originally the families of in-laws..."

Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hand.

"I still want to know what is going on. What does it have to do with it? The Fourth Young Master's Mansion is the residence of my fourth uncle. The only one who can represent the Fourth Young Master's Mansion is my fourth uncle. Now my fourth uncle lives far away from the East China Sea, and is not connected with Xianyang. Traffic is cut off, and even if there is a problem, it is just some people with ulterior motives who took advantage of my fourth uncle's absence to deceive some women and children. What does it have to do with my fourth uncle?"

After speaking, Zhao Ying smiled.

"My fourth uncle is all safe and sound, how could it be involved in your Xiang family..."

In the next room, listening to Zhao Ying's words, the First Emperor couldn't help but nodded slightly, and unconsciously a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When I first found out that he had someone secretly remind Mrs. Zheng, I thought he was just caring about family ties and had some womanly kindness. Now it seems that this child is like a mirror in his heart, knowing better than anyone else.

As long as the fourth son of the family doesn't get confused, whatever trouble is caused in the fourth son's house is not a big problem!

Who knew that the worried look on Xiang Liang's face not only did not diminish, but instead became even more bitter.

"Your Highness is wise! However, I'm afraid things are not that simple..."

Xiang Liang sighed and looked at Zhao Ying helplessly.

"In the past, just like Marquis Jingbian, when my useless nephew got married, many talents came to the Fourth Young Master's house. Now, if the people from Marquis Jingbian try to cause trouble, they have been controlled by Marquis Jingbian on the spot. We were escorted to Xianyang. I was worried that there would be problems with Yu'er. Unlike Marquis Jingbian, he had a lazy temperament and was cruel and domineering. I expected that if he fell into someone else's plot this time, he would definitely have big problems. …”

Having said this, Xiang Liang stood up again and saluted Zhao Ying solemnly.

"Your Highness, my nephew has always regarded Your Highness as the number one hero in the world. He has great respect for His Highness. He has never had any intention of disobedience. He is also loyal to our great Qin. If something really goes wrong with him this time, Your Highness please look after him. He used to follow his subordinates, and if he can help him out of merit, my Xiang family will go to great lengths to repay His Highness's great kindness..."

Saying this, he bowed his head and couldn't bear it.

Zhao Ying finally looked a little more serious.

Xiang Liang had this kind of worry, why didn't he?
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ying stepped forward to hold Xiang Liang's arm and said seriously.

"General, there is no need to worry about this. General Xiang Yu is a rare general in our Qin Dynasty. He has made great contributions to the court. If it is as expected by the general, I will naturally not sit idly by..."

Only then did Xiang Liang feel at ease.

Next door, the First Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

At first glance, Xiang Liang is worthy of being the former general of Chu. He is really a rare talent. It would be a waste to stay in Xianyang all day long. With this thought in mind, he had already begun to wonder whether Zhao Ying should go back and arrange a suitable position for Xiang Liang in the court.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xiang Liang didn't stay any longer and bowed out in a sensible manner.

Zhao Ying did not try to persuade him to stay.

Now that both the First Emperor and Empress Zheng were in the house, it was really not suitable to have someone as a guest, especially when the other party was someone like Xiang Liang.

However, just as he stood up and prepared to see Xiang Liang off, he saw the guard from before walking in quickly again.

"Your Highness, General Tu came with his people from Yanbei County. He said that there is an urgent military situation that needs to be reported to Your Highness in person..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ying and Xiang Liang couldn't help but glance at each other subconsciously, and stopped in a tacit understanding. A bad thought flashed through their hearts.

"Invite him in quickly!"

The disciple didn't know Xiang Liang. After entering the living room, his eyes only glanced at Xiang Liang, and he bowed deeply to Zhao Ying with excitement.

"The last disciple, see the general!"

Zhao Ying stood up with a smile, helped his disciple up with his own hands, and then extended his hands to help the people behind him.

"Generals, there is no need to be polite! You have come a long way and it has been a hard journey. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea first..."

After saying that, he invited a few people to sit down and asked people to bring tea to these people.

Maybe he was really thirsty.

Tu unceremoniously picked up the tea cup in front of him, and drank three bowls of it in one go. Then he raised his sleeves, wiped the tea stains on his beard, and let out a sigh of relief. The few personal guards under him looked no better than him when they drank.

In order to rush for time, they almost marched in a hurry, sleeping in the open air, traveling day and night. When they got here, they were already very thirsty.

"General Qi, something bad has happened. General Xiang Yu led his army to massacre the Huyan tribe of the former Xiongnu Youxian King. There was a conflict with the Zhao Tuo County Governor who arrived later. Now the two are refusing to give in and are facing off. Seeing A fight is about to begin..." When Xiang Liang heard this, his heart sank, his head was confused, and he almost lost his composure on the spot. The First Emperor and Hei next door couldn't help but look at each other and took a breath.

If I had known earlier, that boy from the Xiang family would be unafraid of death, extremely brave, and extremely murderous. When he went to war with the Xiongnu in the name of slaughtering the rest of the tribe, he would have done so. They went on a killing spree and committed acts of massacre of the tribe.

However, at that time, the two armies were fighting because of the situation, so he just pretended not to know.

but now……

Fusu:! ! ! ! ! !

He couldn't help but subconsciously snap at the table, but just as he was about to have an attack, he saw the cold eyes of his father-in-law. Then he realized that it was not his turn to speak, and he immediately sat down again.

But he was still extremely angry.

How cruel!

He actually massacred an entire tribe.

That was the famous Huyan tribe, with a population of tens of thousands.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Killed a tribe!
This is not a battle between two armies, nor is it an attack on the city and the destruction of the country. This is a period of peace, and the most important thing is that the Huyan tribe has surrendered to Da Qin and is nominally a subject of Da Qin!

Raising troops to massacre the Xiongnu tribes that had surrendered to Qin...

Zhao Ying naturally knew how sensitive this issue was. If it was not handled well, it would cause an uproar. We must know that there are hundreds of thousands of Huns, and more than 100,000 people have moved inland.

Nowadays, although the imperial court is constantly migrating people to the three counties of Mobei to enrich the frontier fortress, the problem is that the grasslands are vast, and the few people who migrated there are simply a drop in the bucket if they are thrown into the vast prairie. Therefore, the three counties of Mobei are still Most of them are native Xiongnu residents.

And Xiang Yu, a ruthless man, actually raised an army to conquer a tribe...

Things are getting serious!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at the disciple in front of him seriously.

"What's going on? Please tell me carefully..."

With a wry smile, Tu took out a memorandum from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

"This is the memorial that Governor Zhao Tuo is preparing to submit to His Majesty. I was going to hand it over to Your Majesty personally, but, but -"

Having said this, Tu smiled wryly and bowed deeply.

"The last general is guilty and acted on his own initiative. He failed to submit this memorial directly to His Majesty. Instead, he gave it to the general before giving it to His Majesty. The last general is guilty and is willing to be punished by the general..."

"I would like to be punished by the general..."

When the other soldiers saw this, they also stood up one after another, consciously stood behind the disciple, and followed him to apologize.

Zhao Ying:......

Looking at this group of subordinates who made their own decisions, Zhao Ying was angry and funny at the same time. He couldn't bear to kick the person in front of him.

“Get out, get out, get out, you guys, stop pretending to be here with me——”

After scolding, he sighed.

"Do you think this can absolve you of your sins? This is a memorial from a county governor. Are you crazy and want to die? Instead of delivering it to the palace, you will deliver it to me on the way. How can you You know, what kind of sin is this..."

At this point, Zhao Ying kicked him again in displeasure.

"Zhang Kuan, Hong Si, if your general commits a crime, you will also commit a crime. Don't you want to lose your head..."

The two young men who were scolded by him couldn't help but lower their heads, like quails, not daring to speak.

This group of people were all Zhao Ying's former subordinates. How could they dare to defend themselves when their general was angry?

Fortunately, now that Zhao Ying is the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the State, it makes sense that these memorials should be given to him directly, otherwise these dogs would really have violated a taboo.

You know, at this moment, my eldest father is still listening next door.

Zhao Ying was afraid that they would be stupid again in the future, so he scolded them to make them remember. He kicked one of them twice and sat back with a dark face.

Seeing that they were all still standing there, not daring to move, they immediately cursed angrily.

"What are you doing standing there, each and every one of you? Maybe you still want me to invite you to dinner and drinks! If you don't give me a drink, get out of here..."

When several people heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and knew that this matter was in the past.

"Thank you, General!"

After saying that, he ran away without hesitation.

Seeing this group of people running like rabbits, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel funny and cursed angrily.

"When you go out at this time, do you want outsiders to say that I, Zhao Ying, treat my subordinates harshly? Go and find the stewards of the house and ask them to arrange food and accommodation for you, and then deal with you later..."

"Thank you, General, for your kindness..."

Although several people were scolded, they all held their chests high and raised their heads, as if they had received a lot of praise, and went down to find the steward of the house.

Zhao Ying then opened the memorial and read it carefully.

After reading it, I couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Seeing Xiang Liang looking nervously at the memorial in his hand, he hesitated to speak many times, so he casually handed over Zhao Tuo's memorial.

"Anyway, you need to know about this, and take a look for yourself..."

Xiang Liang couldn't wait to take it.

Who knows, the more he looked, the darker his face became. At the end, he no longer even felt angry. He smiled bitterly and returned the memorial in his hand to Zhao Ying. Then, he straightened his clothes and walked up to Zhao Ying.

Give a deep bow.

"It's all because of the lax discipline of the last general that led to today's disaster. If Your Highness can save my incompetent nephew today, Liang is willing to die as His Highness's lackey from now on..."

Zhao Ying pondered for a long time before stepping forward to help Xiang Liang up.

"General Xiang, please call me. Even if there is no request from General Xiang, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. It's just——"

Having said this, Zhao Ying sighed and patted Xiang Liang's shoulder gently.

"In short, I will try my best to turn things around and win from Your Majesty..."

Speaking of this, Ruo looked at Xiang Liang thoughtfully.

"This matter, in the final analysis, depends on His Majesty's wishes..."

Xiang Liang's heart moved, and he suddenly looked up at Zhao Ying. When he saw Zhao Ying nodding slightly towards him, he immediately understood what Zhao Ying meant and bowed deeply to Zhao Ying.

"If things turn around, Liang will definitely not dare to forget the Lord's great kindness!"

After saying that, he took a few steps back, then turned around and left.

"This Xiang Liang is actually a handsome man who knows current affairs..."

As soon as Xiang Liang left, the First Emperor walked out of the next room with Hei Hei, looked at the direction Xiang Liang left, and praised him. Only Fusu had a dark face and looked very ugly. (End of chapter)
