my grandfather was qin shi huang

However, Zhao Ying consciously obscured most of his vision.

For him, time travel is the biggest secret. Even if he is already the grandson of the emperor of the prison country, he does not want to expose his identity as a time traveler easily. At that time, he presented the map of the East China Sea to the First Emperor under the guise of Xu Fu.

Now, the map in front of me has been gradually improved with Liu Bang's expansion in the Western Regions. It only shows part of the area west of the Western Regions and south of the Western Regions, but just these are enough to make Xiang Yu suddenly moved.

"Across the Alai Mountains, there is a country here called Dawan. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is a natural horse farm——"

Having said this, Zhao Ying turned around and looked at Xiang Yu.

"The Dawan horse we know well comes from here."

Xiang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he subconsciously moved half of the map forward.

As a military general, he understands the importance of excellent war horses to the army.

Although this map carefully crafted by Jiangshan Shejisi cannot be as accurate as the satellite maps of later generations, under Zhao Ying's personal correction, it is very close to the three-dimensional maps of later generations.

Through this map, Xiang Yu could even clearly see the distribution of rivers in Dayuan Kingdom, and he had even begun to silently deduce in his mind how to win this geomantic treasure.

At this moment, Zhao Ying pointed his finger in a farther direction with a smile.

"I have heard that from the country of Dayuan to the west to the sea, it is tens of thousands of miles away. In many places, the products are as rich as those of our country, Great Qin..."

Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and looked at Zhao Ying uncertainly.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded slightly.

"What's the use of a county in Yanbei? This is the place where men can gallop around and make achievements. If the general has the courage to fight, he may not be able to lead his troops to the west in the future and secure thousands of miles of territory for our Great Qin..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying looked at Xiang Yu with burning eyes.

"When the time comes, I will personally cover you with red and colorful decorations, and immediately make you a marquis. All the heroes in the world should regard General Xiang as a man! The difficulties here are beyond the reach of ordinary people, so please encourage me!"

That trusting and warm look made Xiang Yu's blood boil.

So much so that when I left the palace, I was still feeling dizzy. I can't wait to lead the army to set off immediately to capture Dawan, and then march westward to make achievements and create a new world for myself.

Compared with this, the title of a mere general or the official position of a county lieutenant are nothing.

……

"Is this boy available?"

After Xiang Yu left, the First Emperor walked out slowly from the side hall with a tea cup in hand. His leisurely posture was like that of a retired cadre watching his grandson grow up. .

"I see this person, he has strange eyes, he moves like a dragon and a tiger steps like a dragon, and he is brave and decisive in doing things, leaving no room for error. I am afraid he is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others..."

"My great father is wise!"

Listening to the First Emperor's judgment of Xiang Yu, Zhao Ying couldn't help but sincerely praise him.

"My eldest father has such a good eye——"

When the First Emperor saw this guy's reaction, he knew that this guy must have an idea, so he no longer struggled with this issue. Since he let his eldest grandson oversee the country, he had to let go and let him do what he wanted.

It is better to make mistakes now than later.

Now that something went wrong, he, with his old bones, could still help him figure it out. If something went wrong in the future, he would really regret it and be powerless.

Just when Xiang Yu entered the palace and met the first emperor and the emperor's grandson.

Zhao Wan finally returned home after being away for several months.

Compared to when I left, my home seemed more grand and grand, and there were many more servants coming and going in the yard. It was already somewhat prosperous.

Ji's father, Xiang Liang, and his servants personally greeted him.

"I don't dare to greet my father in season..."

Seeing Xiang Liang personally greet him from a distance, Zhao Wan hurriedly got rid of the support of the maid beside him, walked a few steps quickly, rushed forward and bowed to salute.

"These days, my husband and I are not with Ji's father to fulfill our filial piety. We are very concerned about him. I wonder if Ji's father is still in good health——"

Xiang Liang looked at Zhao Wan, who didn't have the arrogance of the female master of the Qin Dynasty at all, his eyes couldn't help but soften a little, and he bowed respectfully in return.

"I miss you, my dear daughter. I am in good health and can still ride a horse and shoot a strong bow..."

Xiang Yu is not at home.

Even if Zhao Wan respected Ji's father very much, he had nothing to talk about. Xiang Liang naturally understood this and quickly changed the topic to the changes in the Fourth Young Master's house.

Zhao Wan had already heard about this when she was in Yanbei County, but when she heard Xiang Liang's narration, her impression of the whole thing became clearer.

But precisely because of this, she became more and more frightened and had no idea in her mind.

"Father Ji, what should I do? What can I do for my grandma..."

Looking at Zhao Wan who was in a panic, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zheng not only committed suicide, but also almost caused the Xiang family to be destroyed. It was too late for him to resent her, and he felt that he would have done his best not to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury.

But when he looked at Zhao Wan, who was on the verge of tears, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Zhao Wan's slightly bulging belly. After all, he sighed, stretched out his finger, and pointed upward.

"Colluding with the rebel party and conspiring to rebel is already a crime of murder. Even if you are thrown into prison, it is reasonable. But now the emperor's grandson only ordered people to arrest those members of the imperial court. Obviously, he has left some room... "

When he said this, he spoke with profound meaning.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has repaid evil with kindness, and has been extremely benevolent and righteous to the royal family - I have heard that he gave me papayas and repaid them with Qiongju. Faced with the Emperor Taisun's overtures, why did the royal family remain silent and turn a blind eye all day long... …”

Zhao Wan couldn't help but nodded deeply after hearing this, stood up, and bowed solemnly.

"Thank you, Father Ji, for your teaching! I understand—"

As soon as Zhao Wan arrived home, she was about to get up and go to the Fourth Young Master's Mansion to visit the grandmother who had been banned from home. Naturally, Xiang Liang would not refuse this.

In fact, even if Zhao Wan didn't take the initiative, he would have planned to let Zhao Wan go back tomorrow.

There are no eggs under the covering nest.

In any case, the Xiang family and the Fourth Young Master's house are all related by marriage. It can be said that both are prosperous and devastated. If the Fourth Young Master's house really encounters a disaster, the Xiang family may not be able to find a good deal.

Therefore, when the emperor's grandson had no intention of killing everyone, if he could help Mrs. Zheng, he would naturally lend a hand.

……

Naturally, this sensitive matter should not be publicized.

Therefore, when Zhao Wan returned to her parents' home this time, she did not bring many escorts except a few personal maids. But even so, it's conspicuous enough.

After all, in these days, who dares to go to the Fourth Young Master's house for nothing? In front of the Fourth Young Master's house.

Zhao Wan got off the carriage with the help of the maids.

There was no halberd in front of the door, no cars coming and going, guests were being welcomed, and except for two old concierges who were sitting on the steps, squinting in the sun, there was no one in sight.

On the contrary, a few gray sparrows stopped on the steps, tilting their heads and looking at the new guest.

He was probably very confused as to where the young guest in front of him, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a graceful temperament, came from.

Looking at the somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar mansion in front of her, Zhao Wan couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

The two old concierges, who were squinting in the sun, were slightly surprised when they saw the carriage and horses parked at the door of their mansion. Until they saw that the person getting out of the carriage was their own daughter-in-law, Zhao Wan. I was suddenly shocked and inexplicable. He rubbed his dim old eyes in disbelief, stood up excitedly, and trotted up to Zhao Wan.

"The young man pays homage to the young master and wishes him well..."

Zhao Wan nodded for me.

"Where is my grandma now..."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to walk towards the door.

However, before people entered the door, they could already feel the deserted and run-down atmosphere of the house. They couldn't help but take a deep breath and stepped forward with the support of the personal maid.

"Is Wan'er back?"

As soon as I entered the door, I heard my grandmother's voice full of surprise. Before I finished speaking, I saw a middle-aged woman coming out of the house with a face of surprise.

Not my grandma, or someone else.

Mrs. Zheng has been confined to the house for these days, feeling anxious and uneasy all day long. She has no one to talk to or ask for advice. She has long since lost her ambition to be a queen like her aunt.

At this time, I suddenly heard that my daughter was back, and I was naturally surprised.

She subconsciously rushed out of the room, but as soon as she reached Zhao Wan, she suddenly stopped again and remembered that she had really plotted against her daughter's husband!

Overtly and covertly, he put a lot of his own people on his side.

He almost got his daughter-in-law, son-in-law and his family involved!

Therefore, when he looked at his daughter again, he felt a little guilty and fearful, his eyes were evasive, and he did not dare to look at Zhao Wan.

If Zhao Wan didn't complain about her mother's actions, it would be impossible. However, when her eyes fell on Mrs. Zheng, who was obviously haggard and thinner, especially when she saw that the glossy black hair in the past had a lot of dazzling silver strands, she felt a twinge in her heart. soft.

Blood is thicker than water.

No matter what, this is my grandma, the grandma who once cared for me and loved me in every possible way.

"Grandma——"

Zhao Wan said, stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Zheng's somewhat dry palm, complaining rather complainingly.

"Grandma, you are confused - do you know that your actions like this almost harmed us, and also almost caused my grandson to be destroyed..."

Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to raise her head when she heard her daughter's complaints, but she felt a little aggrieved in her heart.

I have fallen to this day because I am not trying to plan a better future for you and my daughter...

But she didn't dare to say such words.

She is a bit of a loser, her IQ has not kept up with her own desires, but she is not really stupid. Now she is in trouble, and she doesn’t know what will happen to her - but her daughter’s husband is...

Ah, he was also stripped of his title of General and his official position of Lieutenant of Yanbei County.

She couldn't help but carefully glance at the expression on her daughter's face, and she suddenly felt a little regretful in her heart.

Zhao Wan sighed and pulled Grandma, who had some evasive eyes.

"Grandma, have you ever thought about how to deal with the situation now..."

"how to respond?"

Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter who had regained her composure in confusion, smiling bitterly in her heart.

How can we cope with the situation now?

When I first opened the door to recruit talents for my husband, I didn't expect that so many treacherous officials and traitors would sneak in. Speaking of which, I am also very innocent...

As soon as Zhao Wan saw her grandma's reaction, she knew the result, and she felt more and more tired.

Such a grandma actually wants to compete with the emperor's grandson for that position!
Really...

If not, this is my grandma, and she will act like a loudmouth when she raises her hands.

"Grandma, save yourself——"

Zhao Wan took her grandma's slightly cold palm and spoke in a sincere tone.

"Since the emperor's grandson and eldest father did not arrest you on the spot, they must have wanted to give you another chance. Why do you sit at home all day long, silent?"

Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter with some confusion.

Zhao Wan's tone was somewhat complicated.

"Auntie, the grandson's brother has always been a person who values ​​affection and righteousness. When Uncle Eighteen treated him like that, he was able to repay evil with kindness and spare Uncle Eighteen's life. What's more, you were just careless for a moment and were raped by those rebellious officials and thieves. Deceived and took advantage of the loophole?"

As soon as Mrs. Zheng heard her daughter's analysis, her eyes suddenly lit up!
Yes, what big mistake could I make? It's just that I was not careful for a moment and was taken advantage of by those rebellious officials and thieves!

Zhao Wan:......

She sighed helplessly and grabbed Mrs. Zheng who was about to let herself go.

"But this is a serious crime of treason after all. Even if the emperor's grandson doesn't tell you that you are involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the law..."

Upon hearing what Zhao Wan said, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but become a little nervous again.

Zhao Wan knew that she might not be able to explain it clearly to her grandmother, so she simply said it very seriously.

"Auntie, how can it be that those rebellious ministers and traitors have gathered in our house for so long without any clues? Do you have any evidence here that no one else knows but only you know? Why don't you take the initiative to offer it to the emperor's grandson..."

"I, how did I know that they were planning to cause trouble? At that time, I saw that they were quite talented and knowledgeable. Many affairs in the house were left to them to take care of. The helpers I gave you back then..."

At this point, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but hesitated slightly. Seeing that Zhao Wan didn't seem to have any special reaction, she felt relieved, frowned, and began to think about Zhao Wan's suggestion.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands excitedly.

"If you don't mention it, I have forgotten that when Yi Xian-Yi Thief was still there, I paid for him to buy a small courtyard in Xianyang City. Whenever I had free time, they left in a hurry. , I’m afraid I may not have time to clean it up..." (End of this chapter)
