my grandfather was qin shi huang

You should know that General Wang Jian and Taiwei have basically faded out of the court. Nowadays, except for large court gatherings and grand ceremonies held by the court, they can rarely be seen.

Although Feng Quji, the right prime minister, often enters the palace, the time is usually in the afternoon. At that time, the emperor's grandson is at his most leisurely. The guards in the palace can often see the right minister and the emperor's grandson sitting under the shade of a tree. , having a long chat, talking and laughing.

But coming so early is very rare.

What's more, these three people arrived in front of them.

How many idiots can be on duty at the entrance to the palace?

The arrival of the three old people still gave them a different smell. But because of this, they quickly calmed down and their eyes became sharper.

……

However, neither the veteran generals Wang Jian and Taiwei Liao who came specially to see him, nor the right minister Feng Quji who stood respectfully waiting outside the palace gate early in the morning, could not see the First Emperor as they wished.

The First Emperor rarely summoned anyone.

"Your Majesty did not have a good rest last night. He should be taking a rest at this time. He has not seen the foreign ministers. Please come back, three adults..."

Looking at His Majesty's personal servant in front of them, Wang Jian and Taiwei Liao couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking, and their eyes were full of heavy worry. Right Minister Feng Quji hesitated for a moment, then turned around and bowed deeply to the palace where the First Emperor was.

Then, he took out the memorial he had written yesterday night from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

"Now that I am old, I often feel that I am unable to do what I do recently. I want to beg for bones and return to my hometown to recuperate. This is my resignation letter. Please forward it to Your Majesty..."

"promise--"

The waiter bowed very respectfully, took it with both hands, and then turned around and went back without saying a word.

It wasn't until the figure of the chamberlain disappeared deep into the hall that Old General Wang Jian withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Quji with complex eyes, who seemed to feel much more relaxed in an instant.

"Right Prime Minister, why do you have to do this..."

Feng Quji smiled relaxedly.

"I'm getting older, and I miss the shepherd's purse in my hometown a little bit recently. This month, the shepherd's purse in the fields should have grown very plump. Thinking about it, I can't wait..."

Wei Liaozi couldn't help but shook his head slightly, smiled and joked.

"You have a good idea. There are so many affairs in the court waiting for you to deal with. How can Your Majesty and His Highness easily let you go back and be lazy..."

They are all old foxes for thousands of years, and everyone knows what Feng Quji is planning.

Even as wise as the old generals Wang Jian and Taiwei Liao, they had to admire the old fox Feng Quji's keen sense of smell and clever methods.

When I came, I was worried, and when I left, I felt even heavier. The three of them walked in silence until they were about to go down the steps. After all, Old General Wang Jian stopped.

"Since we're already here, why don't we go see the emperor's grandson?"

"Alright."

Wei Liaozi pondered for a moment, then nodded gently.

Now that His Majesty's condition is unknown, it would be nice to have a certain idea in mind once he meets the Emperor's grandson.

Feng Quji hesitated for a moment, but finally turned back and followed Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi to the main hall where the emperor's grandson handled government affairs daily.

But today's action seems to be destined not to go smoothly.

Before they could approach the main hall, they saw Zhang Liang, the commander of Che Mansion, walking quickly out of the main hall and saluting from a distance.

"Are the three of you looking for His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson? When His Highness left, he specifically warned that the three elderly people may come today. If they do, you can invite the three of you to sit down in the palace and have a cup of tea..."

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and finally General Wang Jian stepped forward and asked.

"Did His Highness ever say when he would come back..."

Zhang Liang slowly shook his head and said apologetically.

"Never..."

The hearts of the three of them could not help but become heavier and heavier, and they had no intention of going back and waiting for news.

"I have nothing to do when I go back. Since I'm here today, I might as well wait here..."

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he looked at Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji.

Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji also nodded slightly, then turned around and bowed their hands politely to Zhang Liang.

"In this case, there is an order from the Labor Car Government..."

"You three adults are very polite. It is my honor to be a lower official..."

Zhang Liang led the three of them into the palace, got up in person, and prepared tea for the three of them. Then he bowed slightly and left, going to a side room to continue sorting out today's memorials.

He now needs to sort out the memorials annotated by the cabinet according to categories. Then, he also needs to annotate some of the memorials with his own suggestions for the emperor's grandson's reference.

Although there were comments from the cabinet on the side, and most of the memorials, he only needed to add a "secondary opinion" at the end, but he still did not dare to be lazy in the slightest.

Because the emperor's grandson would personally review each of these memorials, including each of their comments. What's even more frightening is that the Emperor's Grandson not only can review it personally, but he can also accurately remember the content of each person's review!
Even if it's a month later, it's still accurate.

very tired.

But the Crown Prince's unreserved trust and the pleasure of being able to personally participate in every major decision in the court still made his spirit tremble and his body was full of energy!
This is a power that only His Majesty can possess, and not even the two current Prime Ministers have the qualifications!
In the main hall, you can hear a needle drop.

In addition to the occasional sound of Zhang Liang compiling memorials, there were also the sounds of footsteps walking back and forth. Although Wang Jian and others said it was rare to meet old friends and wanted to drink tea and chat, no one had much intention to talk. They each held tea and closed their eyes to rest.

……

But at this moment, Zhao Ying was not in the mood to ponder their thoughts, because his attention was entirely on the First Emperor.

Because, when he rushed to the back garden early this morning, he didn't find the shadow of the First Emperor!

After careful inquiry, I found out that something was not quite right about the First Emperor. He had a nightmare all night last night. Early this morning, he felt heavy and couldn't get out of bed!

Zhao Ying's expression suddenly changed.

Because today is the 29th of June in the 27th year of the First Emperor!

Tomorrow is the first day of July in the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign!
At this time, the First Emperor's illness made his heart suddenly tighten.

"Father, what do you think? Have you ever called the medical officer?"

Zhao Ying held the First Emperor's big hand nervously.

"Silly boy, why are you so nervous? I just felt cold occasionally - it's okay. I've already taken the decoction prescribed by the doctor. I'll rest for a few days and I should be fine..."

The First Emperor forced a smile, but this made Zhao Ying feel even heavier in his heart. He shook his head slowly and looked seriously into the First Emperor's eyes, his worry visible to the naked eye.

"Uncle, I need you to tell me what's going on with your body. Although I don't have any medical skills, and I don't have the experience of diagnosing people with needles and pulses, but in the past two years, I have almost I have read through all the medical classics in the imperial collection, and I wonder if I can find some suitable medical prescriptions..." He was really not kidding. In the past few years, he had really read through almost all the medical classics that could be found in the Qin Dynasty. , regardless of specific medical practice and medical accomplishment, he can definitely be called the living dictionary with the most medical skills in the medical community of Daqin.

Seeing his serious expression and his eyes full of concern, anxiety and understanding, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel a warmth flowing through his heart. He waved his hand weakly and said warmly.

"I have already asked the medical officials, and they said that I have spent too much effort over the years, which has damaged my roots. There are also residual poisons that have invaded the five internal organs, damaged the heart and lungs, and it is difficult to get rid of the infirmity-"

Having said this, the First Emperor couldn't help but take a few breaths and coughed a few times weakly.

"However, don't be too anxious. They said that as long as I recuperate carefully, I will have at least half a year. By then, I may have practiced Tai Chi, or your fourth uncle may have prayed for immortality for me. The medicine is also unknown..."

Having said this, the First Emperor gently patted Zhao Ying's big hand.

"I just didn't get a good rest yesterday and had a nightmare all night..."

At this point, he smiled.

"Maybe I am too restless and want to go out for a walk. Last night, I actually dreamed that I was riding a carriage with my courtiers on a tour around the world. I have been traveling on the road for more than half a year at a stretch. I didn't sleep well, and my body felt a little... Just sleepy..."

Zhao Ying:......

While the two were talking, Hei Qing walked in quietly, bowed to them first, and then said softly.

"Your Majesty, this is the resignation letter just handed over by Right Minister Feng..."

The First Emperor was slightly startled at first, and then he couldn't help but shook his head gently. He took it, glanced at it briefly, and handed it to Zhao Ying at the side casually.

"You can handle it yourself-"

Zhao Ying took it, turned it over briefly, and then closed it gently.

"Big father, he probably smelled something, so he came here specifically to test his mind..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"Yes, and no -"

Having said this, the First Emperor paused for a moment before speaking softly.

"This old fox, I'm leaving you a chance to show mercy..."

Zhao Ying didn't react for a while.

The First Emperor was determined to teach him the last lesson as an emperor. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the boredom in his chest, and patiently gave instructions.

"When a new king succeeds to the throne, he must promote some of his own confidants. He is a veteran of three dynasties. His current position of power comes entirely from me. As far as you are concerned, there is almost no favor at all..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Uncle, you are saying that he is retreating in order to advance. He is afraid that I will not reuse him in the future. Therefore, he knows that I am using him at a critical moment to implement the "Extension Order" and will never allow him to resign. That’s why I came here to hand over such a resignation..."

The First Emperor couldn't help but show a hint of relief in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Not bad!"

Although his grandson is young and is still a little immature when it comes to dealing with matters in court, he is really very perceptive and can understand everything at once. He has wisdom and transparency far beyond his age.

"If I approve his resignation and you invite him back again, this kindness will be yours. Even if I don't approve his resignation, I will definitely leave the matter of retaining him to you, which is equivalent to giving Your chance to do a favor—"

Having said this, the First Emperor breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Although Feng Quji is tactful and worldly, and good at protecting himself with wisdom, he is capable and has means. He is also a rare capable minister in the court. If you are willing to use it, continue to use it. If you are not willing to use it, then you can't use it." You can stay and wait for him to make three concessions, fulfill his reputation, and then allow him to return to his hometown and take care of his old age, which will be regarded as living up to the great contributions he has made for our great Qin..."

Zhao Ying smiled and shook his head.

"This old fox - he thinks he is smart, but he has underestimated your grand father's ambition, and also underestimated my grandson's ambition..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying casually threw the memorial onto the nearby cases.

"If someone tells him, just say what His Highness said. It's not allowed."

Having said this, he added lightly.

"Tell him not to think randomly and just concentrate on doing things..."

……

After talking to the First Emperor for a while, he saw a look of sleepiness on the Emperor's face, so Zhao Ying stood up and left consciously. In the current situation, even if he stayed by the First Emperor's side 24 hours a day, it would be of no use.

The top priority was to summon all the medical officers in the palace to come up with a more mature plan as soon as possible, at least to maintain the physical condition of the First Emperor.

After leaving the First Emperor's palace, Zhao Ying ordered to summon all the medical officers in the palace and some teachers from the Afang Academy Medical Hall.

At this time, Mr. Hei on the side bowed forward.

"Your Highness, Marquis Wu Cheng, Lieutenant Wei and Right Minister Feng are waiting for you in the main hall in front..."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly.

"Big father, please pay close attention to Mr. Hei. If anything happens, notify me immediately..."

Hei nodded slightly, then bowed and retreated.

He is the general manager of Heibingtai who is known by everyone, and he is also the most considerate and considerate attendant around the First Emperor. At this time, it is natural to stay with the First Emperor at all times.

……

"I have met His Highness..."

Hearing the salutes of the guards at the entrance of the hall, Wang Jian, Wei Liao and Feng Quji stood up and went out in unison.

"The three of them are all highly virtuous and respected elders in our Great Qin Dynasty. There is no need to be so polite..."

Before the three of them could bow down, Zhao Ying quickly stepped forward and grabbed the next step to support the three of them.

"Your Majesty, how is your Majesty doing now..."

Returning to the main hall, before he could sit down, Old General Wang Jian couldn't help but ask. He did not originally have a restless temper, but he was not only the eldest father of the imperial concubine, he also taught the imperial concubine the art of war. Speaking of it, he had the closest relationship with Zhao Ying.

On this occasion today, it is most appropriate for him to ask this question.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji subconsciously held their breath and secretly pricked up their ears.

Zhao Ying smiled relaxedly.

"My dear friends, my thoughts are with you. My eldest father has not rested well these past few days. He just feels a little sleepy. He has asked the medical officer to prescribe decoction. I just took it not long ago. I think if I rest for a few days, I should feel better..." ( End of this chapter)
