my grandfather was qin shi huang

PS: Maybe I had a migraine because I stayed up too late some time ago. It's a little better today, so updates will resume. Feel sorry!
With this consideration in mind, Chen Ping would naturally not act as the Hexi County Sheriff at this time.

It wasn't until the convoy reached the city gate that the accompanying guards showed the seal of the Hexi County Governor. The guard guarding the west city gate didn't know that the famous Hexi County Governor Chen Ping had arrived.

"I didn't know that Commander Chen was in front of me. I would be rude, please——"

After saying that, the guard of Ximen shook his reins and stepped aside to let the city gate open. The soldiers on both sides also followed suit and saluted loudly.

Chen Ping stood out of the car and returned the greeting with a smile.

"Thank you, General..."

The carriage entered slowly, causing pedestrians not far away to take a second look and guess which big shot had arrived in Xianyang today.

……

Compared with Chen Ping's low profile, Xiong Xin, who also arrived in Xianyang today, is extremely high-profile, with thousands of elite guards supporting him.

It wasn't until he saw Xiong Xin hiding in the carriage at Xianyang City Gate from a distance that he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, as if he had survived a disaster.

Finally arrived in Xianyang!

With his unremitting request, he finally succeeded in getting off the job of Governor Jiangling and arrived in Xianyang safely. He could not forget the dozens of assassinations along the way.

Use every possible means!

Fortunately, I had anticipated it and brought enough people in advance.

If he hadn't been cautious enough, if he hadn't been guided by Mr. Fan Zeng, he felt that he might not have been able to reach Xianyang. From now on, he would no longer have to live in fear.

Looking at the relieved Xiong Xin, Fan Zeng in the carriage couldn't help but have a slight trepidation in his eyes.

As early as a few months ago, the emperor's grandson had sent all his family to Xianyang, and now they live in the mansion rewarded by the emperor's grandson...

Now, I finally get to meet my family.

I just didn't expect that fate would play a trick on people in Xianyang.

Compared to Chen Ping's silence, Xiong Xin's movement into the city was also extremely loud. He was still several miles away from Xianyang City, so the imperial court sent out personnel to greet him.

Cao Shen, the chief minister of the cabinet, came to welcome him personally on behalf of the imperial court.

The ceremonial guards who welcomed him traveled for miles, and the crowns and crowns were matched with each other. They were extremely glorious and fully demonstrated the favor of the imperial court to this former king of Chu who had turned from darkness to light and made great contributions to the imperial court.

In Xianyang City, countless people stopped to watch, asking who the person who had just passed by the carriage was. He was actually able to work for high-ranking officials in the court, and their eyes were full of envy.

"Tsk, that's so majestic, a real man should be like this -"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a delicate appearance, plain clothes, and a somewhat thin look could not help but sigh with envy as he looked at Xiong Xin, who was chatting and laughing with Cao Shen in the crowd.

Who knew that before he finished speaking, someone beside him secretly tugged on his sleeve.

He turned his head and glanced doubtfully.

But he found that his friend from the same hometown was looking at him strangely, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Brother Yong, why are you dragging me?"

The man called Brother Yong looked to be about thirty years old. He was white, fat, and had a rosy complexion. Even the clothes he was wearing looked obviously much more glamorous than that of the shabby-dressed young scholar.

He stepped forward and lowered his voice.

"Brother Wang, could it be that you don't know the origin of this person..."

Seeing that the middle-aged man called Brother Wang was confused, he nodded softly.

"Governor of Jiangling, grandson of the former King of Chu..."

"Ah, he is Bear Heart!"

After listening to his friend's advice, the middle-aged man known as Brother Wang looked at him gradually walking away from the convoy, and his eyes couldn't help but look a little strange. He was originally from a Chu land, so it was natural that he would not know Xiong Xin!
Mainly because Xiong Xin was so famous in Chudi during this period.

He is even more famous than when King Chu was there.

When the King of Chu was here, he was just one of the grandsons of the King of Chu. There were not many people who had never heard of him. But now, his reputation has spread throughout the Chu land, and almost no one knows about it, especially those in the Chu land. Scholars, many wish they could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin!

Naturally, he has heard rumors about this person.

The middle-aged man whom he called Brother Yong shook his head slightly.

"Years ago, when I passed through Yingdu, I saw him in the crowd. At that time, his relationship with the Nanjun scholars had not yet reached this level. I even thought about visiting him at his residence, but I didn't expect him. later……"

The middle-aged man known as Brother Wang couldn't help but look up when he heard this. He nodded slightly and uttered two words inexplicably at the team that had already gone away.

"No wonder..."

Withdrawing his gaze, the middle-aged man known as Brother Wang looked at his fellow countryman friends beside him.

"Brother Yong, on the occasion of our arrival, both Lu Gong and Liu Gong asked me to deliver a letter to General Zhenyuan. I have nothing to do today. Brother Yong, would you like to accompany me to visit General Zhenyuan's residence..."

Hearing the middle-aged man called Brother Wang mention this topic, the man called Brother Yong couldn't help but frown. He subconsciously wanted to shake his head and refuse, but after hesitating for a while, he finally nodded slightly and said from his mouth It was difficult to say a word.

"it is good--"

Seeing his friend's attitude, the young man known as Brother Wang couldn't help but shake his head in a subtle way and offered a very sincere persuasion.

"Brother Yong, although Liu Ji was a bit dissolute and rude before, he has an extraordinary appearance, is as wise as a fool, and is kind and loving. He is definitely not an ordinary person. What's more, now he has soared into the sky, and he is no longer what he used to be. Bi, you and I are not alone. From now on, all the elders in Peixian County will look up to him and be protected by him. Brother Yong, why should we look at people with the old eyes again..."

The fat, white man known as Brother Yong snorted, but in the end he did not refute.

"I certainly know..."

Seeing that his friend was no longer stubborn after all, the middle-aged man known as Brother Wang couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"Let's go, his wife and I are old acquaintances, so we're going to pay a visit first - I heard that General Zhenyuan has newly acquired the land of Dawan, and has made great contributions to the imperial court in opening up territory. Here we go, I should congratulate him in advance..."

The news that Zhenyuan General Liu Ji has made another new contribution and helped the imperial court capture Dawan has already spread to various places. Although the imperial court's reward has not yet been issued, many people understand that General Liu, who has risen rapidly recently, may not be able to win this time. The reward of becoming a lord is not far away.

General Zhenyuan's Mansion was not far from where they were standing. The two of them bought some gifts on the street and soon arrived at Liu Ji's mansion in Xianyang.

Looking at the Xuanjia elite standing with halberds in front of the mansion, and the gilded plaque with the words "Zhenyuan General's Mansion" written on it, even the young man surnamed Yong, who had always been somewhat disapproving of Liu Ji, saw Liu Ji's current momentum. He couldn't help but straighten his expression calmly.

The two of them stepped forward and handed over the greeting cards in their hands.

"I'd like to ask some generals to tell me that Wang Ling and Yong Chi, my old friends from Peixian County, came to visit..."

When the guards in front of the door saw that the two men were calm and elegant, and heard that they were fellow villagers of their own general, they did not dare to neglect them. They immediately reached out to take the invitations from the two men and said goodbye. "Gentlemen, please wait a moment -"

Then he turned around and hurried in to report.

After a while, I saw a young lady coming out in person with her servants.

"I am the Lu family, and I have met my two brothers. I didn't know that my two brothers were coming to visit me. I was disappointed to see them from afar. I hope you can forgive me..."

Seeing Lu's behavior, Wang Ling and Yong Chi couldn't help but look at each other, then moved away from each other without leaving a trace, quickly stepped forward to greet him, and bowed to salute.

"I didn't dare to have Mrs. Lao personally greet me. I came in a hurry and didn't notify you in advance. It's rude to both of us..."

Although Liu Ji was not at home, Wang Ling had always had a good relationship with Liu Ji, and he was an acquaintance with Lu Pheasant. Yong Chi himself is a wealthy family in Peixian County, and he is no stranger to Lu Gong's family.

Therefore, meeting each other at this time is really quite cordial as meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Lu Pheasant exchanged greetings with Wang Ling and Yong Chi in front of the house, and immediately invited them to the house. He also asked people to go to the backyard to call his sister Lu Huan to come to see them and hosted a banquet in person.

……

Just when Wang Ling and Yong Chi went to pay homage to Liu Ji's house, Xiong Xin's motorcade finally arrived in front of the palace gate. When the motorcade stopped, Cao Shen, Xiong Xin, Fan Zeng and others were shocked to find that there was another team stopping in front of the palace gate almost in no particular order with them.

Although this team was not as powerful as them and even looked a little dusty, standing opposite them, their momentum was not inferior at all.

Each of the black-armored warriors on horseback was full of energy, with a chilling air.

Just when Xiong Xin and Fan Zeng were puzzled and wanted to inquire, they saw Cao Shen, the chief minister of the cabinet, jumping off his horse and approaching him with a big smile.

"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to arrive today!"

Chen Ping looked at his old friend and couldn't help but have a sincere smile on his face.

"Brother Cao, I didn't expect to meet you here today -"

After saying this, the two of them couldn't help but laugh again with their hands on each other.

Regarding Chen Ping's transfer order, Cao Shen, as the chief minister of the cabinet, naturally knew everything about it, but he did not expect that Chen Ping would arrive so quickly and in such a low-key manner.

"When we come back this time, we can work together again under His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun..."

The two exchanged a few words before Cao Shen turned around and took Chen Ping to introduce Xiong Xin and Fan Zeng.

"This is Mr. Chen Pingchen, the governor of Hexi County, and he is also a close friend of mine. In the past, when His Highness the Emperor Taisun swept across Mobei and regained Hexi, we worked together under the Emperor Taisun..."

Then, he pointed at Xiong Xin and Fan Zeng and introduced them.

"Mr. Xiong Xinxiong, the Governor of Jiangling Prefecture, Mr. Fan Zengfan, Zuocheng of the General's Mansion..."

Although Fan Zeng has been responsible for the guidance of public opinion in Jiangling Mansion and the affairs of the Charity Hall, in fact, his title has always been Zuo Cheng of the General's Mansion, which was casually named by Zhao Ying.

However, it is precisely because of this title that he has no disadvantages in Jiangling Mansion.

Not only did the governor of Nanjun admire these people, but even Xiong Xin wanted to give him up as a sacrifice. He must be called "sir" and there was almost no hesitation in all suggestions put forward by Fan Zeng.

This is probably a mistake.

Xiong Xin didn't have any friendship with Chen Ping, but at this moment, when he heard that Chen Ping was an old man under the emperor's grandson, he was immediately in awe and his words were very polite.

Soon, the palace servant came over and announced, inviting a few people to come in.

Several people stopped their greetings in a tacit understanding and followed the waiter who came to invite him up the stairs.

Fortunately for Chen Ping, as an old man under the command of the emperor's grandson, he was naturally confident. Fan Zeng was also quite calm, knowing that if the emperor's grandson wanted to harm him, there was no need to go to such trouble.

Only Xiong Xin was worried, not knowing how the court would arrange for him.

Now, he has absolutely no way out.

However, his worries soon disappeared.

The emperor's grandson had a cordial attitude and praised him highly for his performance in Jiangling Mansion. Even His Majesty the First Emperor, who had not personally handled government affairs for a long time, took the time to meet with him, the grandson of the late King of Chu. He encouraged him with a very gentle attitude, and then personally granted him a vast mansion in Xiangyang City and allocated a group of servants and guards for his dispatch.

He was specially promoted to the rank of Da Shangzao, and became an admonishing official, which can be said to be extremely gracious.

Xiong was so grateful that he thanked everyone in public.

As the most capable assistant under the emperor's grandson, Chen Ping was personally received by the First Emperor and was personally named Yushi Zhongcheng. Among the censors, the prime minister is the second official of the prime minister, but he can order the censors to correct the officials according to the rules. Even Li Si, the left prime minister, has to give in to three points of courtesy. .

He suddenly became an important minister in the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Ping thanked him.

"I dare to do my best to repay His Majesty and His Highness for their kindness!"

He knew very well that the reason why he was where he was today, that he rose up at an unimaginable speed, and became the second most powerful official under the left prime minister, was all because of the emperor's grandson.

The First Emperor smiled and nodded slightly.

"good!"

As for Fan Zeng, the First Emperor did not meet him personally. A small person like him was not enough to impress him. However, Zhao Ying did not neglect him, fully affirmed his actions in Jiangling Mansion, and specially promoted him to the post of Emperor Taisun's Mansion!
Although Zhan Shicheng of the Emperor Taisun's Mansion is only an official subordinate to the Emperor Taisun's Mansion, this official position is extraordinary. He only assists Zhan Shi of the Emperor Taisun's Mansion and directs the affairs of the Emperor Taisun's Mansion. There are hundreds of officials in the emperor's grandson's house, who assist in managing all the affairs of the house.

Once the emperor's grandson ascends the throne, he will almost become a real Jiuqing.

This reward was completely beyond Fan Zeng’s expectation!
He looked at Zhao Ying on the steps, who had a gentle smile and looked at him with encouragement. He couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart, and he slowly prostrated himself to the ground.

"My lord Fan Zeng, thank you for your kindness—"

Zhao Ying stood up with a smile, helped Fan Zeng up with his own hands, and spoke sincerely.

"We, the Qin Dynasty, have always been thirsty for talents. If you have a great talent, why should you abandon it and let him be buried in the wilderness? In the future, I will have to trouble you to give you advice on many things..."

At noon that day, the first emperor and the emperor's grandson held a banquet in the palace and personally received Xiong Xin and Chen Ping who were going to take office in Beijing. Fan Zeng, the new emperor's grandson's palace, Zhan Shicheng, accompanied them.

On the afternoon of the next day, the imperial court officially announced the examiner for this imperial examination.

The examiner was Zhao Ying, the grandson of the emperor.

Feng Quji, the right prime minister, was the chief examiner of liberal arts, and Chen Ping, the deputy chief examiner of the imperial censor, gave advice to the doctor Xiong Xin.

The chief examiner of the martial arts examination was Taiwei Liao, Tongwuhou Wang Jian, and the veteran general Mengwu.

Suddenly, the government and the public were shocked. (End of chapter)
