my grandfather was qin shi huang

Hearing this, Zhao Ying nodded, took Gongzi Gao's hand, and said with a smile.

"Although state affairs are of great importance, you don't have to be so busy. It's a rare trip for you to come back from the East China Sea. Why don't you rest at home for a few more days and spend more time with Grandfather, Grandmother, and Aunt..."

Looking at Zhao Ying's sincere eyes, Young Master Gao's eyes couldn't help but become softer.

Although this eldest nephew is ruthless, he really has nothing to say to his relatives.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ying'er. However, the affairs in the East China Sea are very busy. The local barbarians are not educated and do not speak the language, so problems will arise from time to time. Besides, your grandfather's elixir of immortality has not been found yet. How can I indulge in pleasure and stay in Xianyang all day long..."

Zhao Ying stood up solemnly and bowed to the young master.

"Thank you for your hard work, fourth uncle!"

It can be seen that my fourth uncle really takes the matter of seeking the elixir of immortality into his heart.

Apart from anything else, this filial piety is truly genuine, and the thought used is also genuine——

At least it's much better than that damn liar Xu Fu.

"Since my fourth uncle is concerned about the state affairs over the East China Sea and is determined to leave, I can't force him to stay. Just go on your own. I will take care of everything at home, so you don't have to worry..."

The young master nodded solemnly.

"Then please do everything—"

After saying that, Young Master Gao was about to bow to Zhao Ying. Before he could finish the gesture, he was pulled up by Zhao Ying. Looking at Young Master Gao in his hand, Zhao Ying said helplessly.

"Fourth Uncle, are you trying to shorten my life? There is no reason in this world for an elder to salute a junior..."

Seeing that Zhao Ying's eyes were clear and unpretentious, Young Master Gao smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, this is Uncle Fourth's fault..."

The two of them laughed and chatted for a few more words. As they were talking, Zhao Ying's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to the young master and smiled apologetically.

"Uncle, please go to the study and wait for me. I need to discuss something with you later. I have something else to deal with here..."

Young Master Gao subconsciously glanced outside the hall, said nothing, and nodded with a smile.

"You can do it yourself. I haven't been here for a long time. Go and take a walk in the back garden. You will finish it later. Just call me..."

Although Zhao Ying told him to go to the study and wait.

But now that Zhao Ying is the grandson of the emperor who oversees the country, how can outsiders enter the study at will when he is not there?
Zhao Ying didn't force it and nodded with a smile.

"Fourth Uncle, just do it yourself..."

When Young Master Gao left quickly, he had completely disappeared. After a while, a figure timidly appeared at the door of the living room.

"Ying—the great grandson of the Emperor, thank you!"

The young master lowered his head and bowed deeply to Zhao Ying with a complicated expression.

Without Zhao Ying, he would not even be able to take a step forward in his family, not to mention being able to attend the banquet at the emperor's grandson's house. Looking at the 18th Young Master Hu Hai, whose eyes were a little evasive, Zhao Ying couldn't help but sigh softly.

He quickly stepped forward and held Hu Hai's arm with his own hands.

"Uncle Eighteen, what are you doing..."

"me……"

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Ying's usual smile, and all the past events came to mind instantly. Therefore, although he had rehearsed it for himself countless times, when he really faced Zhao Ying, he didn't know how to open his mouth for a moment.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying did not embarrass him and accepted the words naturally.

"Uncle Eighteen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you have become estranged from me. You have forgotten that when Aweng first went to Shangjun, you also supported me. You can share the profitable coal business with me with just a shake of your hand. I made 80% of my income without even batting an eyelid..."

Hu Hai:......

Suddenly I felt a little upset.

However, Zhao Ying over there was already laughing and holding his arm.

"Uncle Eighteen, you are not being kind today. I just saw that you drank the least today. When I go to your house later, you have to make up for it no matter what -"

Hu Hai moved his lips and held it in for a long time before he nodded vigorously and spit out the word "ok" from his mouth.

The eighteenth young master Hu Hai was in a daze when he left, and even his eye circles were red.

Zhao Ying personally escorted Hu Hai out of the house and waved goodbye to Hu Hai with a hearty smile.

Although in his previous life, this strange eighteenth uncle did many things that made people want to strangle him, in this life, he actually did not do anything that actually harmed him, and even once Under his own calculation, he took his hand.

Instead, he tricked him easily.

After all, he has been able to reach this point because of his own efforts.

Of course, the most important thing is that now the overall situation has been decided. In his previous life, the 18th Young Master who tore Da Qin to pieces and chopped the Da Qin royal family into pieces has been completely eliminated and can no longer have any influence on him. .

Killing him would give him a mean and ruthless impression, but it would be better to let him go, which would be more valuable to him.

Hu Hai didn't know this. He was sitting in the carriage with mixed emotions. People were already far away, and he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look around.

"Husband, the emperor's grandson, what did he say..."

Looking at his expectant wife, Hu Hai couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"The emperor's grandson said that he will be a guest at our house later..."

When his wife heard this, she couldn't help crying with joy, and she hugged Hu Hai's arm in a daze.

"Husband, husband, we, we finally made it..."

Looking at his wife who was crying with excitement and a pair of children clinging to him in fear, Hu Hai couldn't help but sigh deeply, and even the last trace of unwillingness in his heart completely disappeared.

He knew very well that Zhao Ying's current actions were the most benevolent and righteous to him.

Even if Zhao Ying just said casually in the end that he could not really be a guest in his house, his attitude towards his family today was enough to change his current situation in Xianyang City.

……

The backyard of the Emperor Taisun's Mansion.

The First Emperor, who was strolling in the back garden with his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes slightly and listened calmly to Hei's account of what happened in the front yard. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"how do you feel--"

Hei Ziran knew what the First Emperor was asking. He pondered for a moment, then bowed and replied seriously.

"The emperor's grandson can do what others cannot..."

Hei didn't say anything about kindness or not.

The First Emperor did not speak, but nodded in agreement.

He has been with Zhao Ying for a long time, and he naturally knows Zhao Ying's temperament. Knowing everything today may not be because of Zhao Ying's sincerity, but so what?
As the First Emperor, he did not object to his successors putting on a show.

In fact, when they reach their status, it doesn't matter whether they do it or not. As long as they are willing to do this show, it is enough to explain everything. For him, the unfulfilled younger son was still a younger son after all. If there were other choices, if he could live in peace, even if he could just be an idle young master, that would be good after all.

"Ying'er and Lao Si went to the study?"

The First Emperor suddenly interrupted and asked thoughtfully.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true. It is said that there is something to discuss..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Go and have a look..."

As a result, as soon as he reached the door of the back garden, he saw Zhao Qi coming towards him from outside in a hurry.

"I have met my eldest father, and I want to say hello to my eldest father——"

Seeing the First Emperor, Zhao Qi quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute.

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

"Look at your hurried steps - are you here specifically to see me?"

The First Emperor had a smile on his face, and he was extremely satisfied with his grandson. Although his grandson was not as good as his grandson, he was still smart and hardworking.

Especially in arithmetic, he is already comparable to a doctor in the imperial court. Even the teachers who teach in the school are ashamed.

In the future, he will definitely become a great help to his eldest grandson.

"My eldest father is wise. My eldest brother and my fourth uncle are waiting for you in the study. If you have nothing to do, please come over..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the Black Manager and cursed with a smile.

"This brat actually learned how to command me..."

Hei knew that the First Emperor himself was not angry, but rather enjoyed this kind of relationship between ancestors and grandchildren, so he just laughed along without saying anything.

Turning around, he saw Zhao Qi still standing there in a daze, a little confused, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"Okay, I understand, you go and play, I will come over..."

Zhao Qi originally thought of leading his grandfather there in person, but when the First Emperor said this, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and bowed, and then disappeared in a flash.

Although the First Emperor had a kind attitude, he didn't know why, but he always felt unspeakably nervous in front of his great father.

Seeing Zhao Qi running away, the First Emperor couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, he remembered the time when that bitch Zhao Ying forced his way into the palace.

"Compared with Ying'er, this kid is a little less courageous and courageous after all..."

When Hei heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"How many people in the world can be like the emperor's grandson? The young master's talent is enough to make him proud of his peers..."

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

When he and Hei walked to Zhao Ying's study, Gongzi Gao and Zhao Ying were huddled in front of the desk, looking at the map of the southeastern coast that Zhao Ying had drawn casually.

"...Fourth uncle, those barbaric lands are not civilized and the people are fearful and unethical. You are magnanimous and kind to your subordinates. This is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing for intimidating the place and stabilizing the situation as soon as possible. , I think that after you go back, you might as well be a little more forceful. Only in this way can you sort it out as soon as possible..."

The First Emperor, who had just walked to the door of the courtyard, faintly listened to the sounds coming from the study. The corners of the Emperor's mouth could not help but raise slightly, showing a smile of relief.

Sure enough, it was his eldest grandson who did things to his liking.

At this moment, the voices inside were suddenly interrupted, and immediately Zhao Ying's familiar laughter was heard.

"Father, Mr. Hei, you guys came so fast——"

Before he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the study with Young Master Gao.

The First Emperor couldn't help but joked with a smile.

"Your ears are really good. I'm still across the courtyard. You know that I and the Black Manager are here?"

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

"Father, have you forgotten that compared to a strong man with his head buried in papers, I am a general who sees all directions and hears all directions..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, stop thinking about that general of yours. In a few days, I will give you this title. There is no emperor grandson who wants to be a general..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he smacked his lips with regret.

Speaking of which, he really wanted to live a life of fighting and fighting, and swallowing thousands of miles with anger.

Unfortunately, it may be difficult to lead the troops in person in the future.

"You asked Qi'er to invite me over. What's going on..."

There was no need for Zhao Ying and the young master to greet each other. The First Emperor naturally pulled up a chair and sat down next to the coastal topographic map that Zhao Ying had just drawn.

"Haier is discussing with his fourth uncle the issue of continuing southward and exploring the islands along the southeastern coast..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the map at hand with some surprise.

"These tiny places? Didn't you say before that this place is still relatively desolate and there may not be any population there?"

Zhao Ying came over with a smile.

"Father, don't underestimate these places. Many places are rich in products, and there are many specialties that our Great Qin does not have..."

As he spoke, Zhao Ying pointed at a few places and introduced them.

"During this period, I consulted a lot of information and asked General Meng Tian about the situation there. It is said that these places produce many unique spices - for example, here, the locals seem to call it Funan, which is rich in cinnabar, sulfur, and Zeng. Blue, stone essence and other things..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the sketch with a more serious look.

"Another example is that this peninsula produces a kind of Pistacia chinensis called frankincense, which is an extremely valuable medicinal material. There are also some sumac trees, oak trees, etc., all of which have their own magical uses..."

"Then I will directly ask General Meng Tian to lead the troops to fight?"

After listening to Zhao Ying's introduction, these inconspicuous small places were as if they were filled with gold. The First Emperor couldn't help but become interested, and had already begun to consider the feasibility of letting Meng Tian directly raise troops in Lingnan.

Zhao Ying smiled and shook his head.

"Father, there is no need to go to such trouble. General Meng Tian is guarding the three counties by himself. The troops are already extremely tight and it is not appropriate to divide the troops. What's more, these places are almost the same as the Fusang land in Yingzhou. The people are still in ignorance. In such a state of ignorance, it only takes the arrival of a fleet from Fourth Uncle to successfully capture..."

As Zhao Ying spoke, his eyes subconsciously continued to look westward along the coastline.

In fact, when Zhao Ying said this, he really had this consideration, but the most important thing was that he knew very well that if Da Qin wanted to take advantage of the trend and continue to expand its territory, there was really no more effective means than the navy.

As long as his fourth uncle is allowed to occupy that strait, with Da Qin's current almost cheating strength and His Majesty the First Emperor's enthusiasm for opening up territories, the rest is almost logical. (End of chapter)
