my grandfather was qin shi huang

Soon, the 800-mile urgent document sent by the government inn was presented to Zhao Ying.

"Wang Qindao, Tianci Island..."

Looking at these places that suddenly appeared, Zhao Ying compared these places with the familiar place names from later generations based on Gongzi Gao's description, and then roughly figured out where Gongzi Gao's so-called Tianci Island was.

Are there any wonderful plants in that place?

But in the expedited document, it was written very clearly, where, where, who, and what kind of tests were done. It was absolutely impossible to falsify!
And he also believed that with the honest and honest character of his fourth uncle, he would not dare to lie about this kind of thing.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. The irritability caused by the locust plague in Julu County was instantly gone. He couldn't help but laugh while grabbing this urgent report.

"Shan, Lord Donghai really lived up to expectations!"

Having said this, he looked at the several dusty messenger captains very happily, nodded and smiled.

"Very good. You go down and rest first. I will discuss your merits and reward you later."

In fact, he was in a really good mood and really wanted to wave his hand and say "reward" very boldly like before. But now that he is the emperor, he has to consider the impact of his words and deeds.

"When kindness is given, one will be rewarded without joy; if punishment is given, one will be punished without anger."

For me now, it is easy to reward a few people and punish a few people, but once the rules are broken, it will be extremely difficult to establish them again.

After receiving the news, he was in a good mood.

Immediately, additional manpower was arranged to greet the ship in advance on the way to ensure that the ship could arrive in Xianyang safely and smoothly.

After giving all these instructions, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart. He immediately took this urgent document and hurried towards the palace of the First Emperor.

Although it was midsummer, the First Emperor's palace was very cool.

There were several simple and exquisite ice mirrors placed around, and a maid gently flicked the futon in her hand. A slow coolness spread in the hall. It was different from the cool but bone-deep coolness of later generations of air conditioners. This kind of coolness, like The cool breeze blows on the face, making people feel very comfortable.

"Father, Dad, good news——"

As soon as he entered the palace of the First Emperor, Zhao Ying could not help but wave the urgent document in his hand, like a child, waving excitedly towards the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was in better spirits today and was walking slowly in the hall with Hei serving him.

At this time, when I heard my eldest grandson coming in shouting, I couldn't help laughing, stopped, and laughed and cursed angrily.

"You kid, you are already an emperor, why are you still so arrogant and startled? What do you look like..."

He was cursing like this, but there was a smile on his face.

The more he looked at this child, the more he felt in his heart. Everyone else regarded him as the First Emperor, but this child really regarded himself as his great father. This unique emotion made him enjoy it like drinking fine wine.

"Uncle, there is really good news. My fourth uncle found a strange plant on a desert island in the southeastern sea. The fruit on it is said to be able to cure diseases, save people, and prolong life. Now he is traveling day and night. According to the itinerary , It should be arriving in the next couple of days!”

Even though the First Emperor had a calm mind, he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the news.

Unable to hide the surprise on his face, he stretched out his hand to take the document from Zhao Ying, which was urgently delivered by Gao Ren from eight hundred miles away. The more he looked at it, the more joyful he became.

“I never imagined that beyond the sea, there are such treasures of heaven and earth!”

Having said this, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Hei beside him.

"Go and get me a sea chart..."

Hei bowed down, and the First Emperor looked at the document in his hand with great interest, with excitement in his eyes.

"Before, I thought that I had wiped out the six countries and unified the world, and that I had conquered the world and become as big as China. I never thought that there was another world beyond the sea, and that such desolate and dilapidated islands could produce such treasures of heaven and earth. …”

Zhao Ying was happy.

"Father, the world is originally vast and boundless. We are limited by the means we currently have. What we see in front of us is just the tip of the iceberg. We may not be able to cross this boundless sea and there will be another one on the other side that is even more powerful than our Great Qin. The vast land is also unknown..."

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

Soon, Hei sent over the half of the world map. The First Emperor began to look at the map with great interest. Then he followed the route given by Gongzi Gao and quickly found the island that had just been named Tianci Island by Gongzi Gao. .

Then, his eyes began to wander along Tianci Island. After wandering for a while, he pointed thoughtfully at the large piece of land south of Xiangjun.

"This place, Ying'er, must be included in the territory of our Great Qin as soon as possible when conditions permit. Only in this way can it be connected with these overseas islands..."

Zhao Ying looked at the First Emperor, whose temples were gray and his face was a little haggard and thin, but his eyes were still sharp, and he couldn't help but nodded in admiration. This great father of my family is definitely the best in the world in terms of vision and strategy.

With just one glance, the importance of this island can be seen.

He immediately smiled and nodded.

"Uncle, you have a good vision! Once we capture this area, the entire southeastern coastal area will be completely controlled by our Great Qin, just like the stars guarding our Great Qin..."

The First Emperor nodded in agreement.

But then he shook his head gently.

"It's good that you have an idea, but with the current situation of our Daqin, it's best not to start a war lightly again within three to five years."

Having said this, he was probably worried that his eldest grandson would not be able to restrain himself, so he couldn't help lowering his head, looking at the majestic and heroic Zhao Ying, and warned him again with serious words.

"When my ancestors of the Qin Dynasty started their business, there was only a desolate and barren land on one side of the border. They worked with the Rong and the Di. After several generations of management, we were able to have such a huge world. This is not just because our ancestors were brave and good at fighting. , to forge ahead with determination, but because our ancestors knew the truth of working steadily, step by step, and not making rash advances..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but suppress the smile on his face and nodded solemnly.

"Dad, don't worry. I understand that when fighting foreign forces, you must first settle your own affairs. No matter when, no matter how far the territory is expanded in the future, the territory that Dad has laid down now is the basic foundation of our Great Qin, and it will not be shaken. , before this place is completely stabilized and I have accumulated enough strength, I will not act rashly..."

The First Emperor looked at him quietly, and Zhao Ying looked at him calmly.

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

"Your wisdom is even greater than that of my great father. I can rest assured that I can leave Da Qin in your hands..."

Zhao Ying smiled and shook his head, staring at the First Emperor seriously.

"Father, Great Qin is not in my hands, but in our hands -" Upon hearing this, the First Emperor couldn't help but stare at Zhao Ying, and his eyes became a little more profound and scrutinizing. Zhao Ying seemed to have not seen it, and smiled very relaxedly.

"Why, eldest father, do you still want to continue to be lazy? You have stepped down as emperor, but even if you step down from the throne, you are still my eldest father. In this world, there is no eldest father himself. The reason for being lazy and unwilling to come out to help your grandson..."

Zhao Ying spoke the truth.

He needed the emperor's unwavering authority, and he also needed to take over the baton of Great Qin from the hands of the First Emperor as soon as possible, so as not to cause unintended consequences and make Great Qin go back to the old path of its previous life.

But he is not taboo about the fact that Da Qin has another Qin Shihuang.

It is conceivable that with the knowledge and vision brought by his later generations, and the support of a talented, venomous, and experienced First Emperor behind him, how far Great Qin could go in the end.

For this reason, he didn't even mind co-ruling the world with the First Emperor.

At the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that my son was really incompetent and he didn't stand out, the rumbling chariot of Da Qin might have crashed and everyone would have died, and he would have ended his life. I was even willing to be a happy and happy third-generation emperor. .

But what he said was no big deal when he thought about it.

But when it fell in the ears of the First Emperor, it was like a bomb, which shocked the First Emperor so much that he even lost his composure for a moment, but he soon regained his composure.

Seeing this grandson who didn't care, talking about this as if he was talking about trivial matters like eating and dressing, he laughed and cursed angrily.

"How could you have such a tired grandson? He doesn't want to be his own emperor. He spends every day thinking about how to order his eldest father, get out, get out, get out. I've worked hard for most of my life, eldest father, and I can't enjoy a few days of happiness..."

The First Emperor raised the document in his hand, preparing to fight, but Zhao Ying quickly ran away with his head in his arms.

As soon as he left the First Emperor's palace, he returned to his usual calmness.

Some things need to be said clearly sooner or later.

Sometimes, if some problems are discussed in advance, both parties will have room for advancement and retreat. Instead, they both keep their heads down and don't talk about it, which will easily accumulate into big problems sooner or later.

But he was unwilling to end up turning against this old man who cared for him so much, who taught him his advice, who taught him as if he were his own grandson, and who put the whole world in his hands, and eventually turned against each other because of the emperor's authority.

……

As soon as Zhao Ying left, the smile on the Emperor's face gradually faded. Looking at Zhao Ying's retreating back, his eyes became a little deeper.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked at Hei who was standing silently beside him.

"What do you think Ying'er means today..."

Hei was silent for a long time, then slowly said.

"I dare not speak nonsense, but I know that Your Majesty is a filial and good boy..."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor subconsciously glanced at the urgent document he was still holding in his hand. Remembering the scene where Zhao Ying rushed in with joy just now, he nodded slightly and sighed inexplicably.

"Yes, he is a good boy..."

A look of relief appeared on the face of the First Emperor, and he slowly walked to the couch beside him and lay down gently, folding his hands on his lower abdomen and swaying slightly.

"I didn't expect that I, a grown-up father, would call myself a hero all my life, but in the end I would be outdone by a child..."

……

In fact, Zhao Ying forgot about this incident when he left the First Emperor's palace.

Because he still has a lot of government affairs to deal with. The locust plague in Julu County taught him a profound lesson and reminded him of another arrangement that had been brewing for a long time.

After returning to his palace, he immediately summoned his right minister Feng Quji, his left minister Li Si and his minister Mengyi.

"Our Great Qin started from the bitter cold land of Yongzhou, and up to now, I don't know how many old Qin people have succeeded one after another, and they have died one after another. They are all the heroes of our Great Qin, and they will never be forgotten for generations to come!"

Having said this, Zhao Ying looked around the three of them and said seriously.

"Now that the world has been settled, I want to mobilize private children to build a martyrs' monument and a martyrs' temple in Xianyang, so that thousands of veterans who generously died for our great Qin can continue to offer incense and sacrifice for eternity..."

Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi were startled when they heard this, and then they realized what they were saying, stood up suddenly, and all moved away from the table to prostrate themselves.

"Your Majesty is so wise that all the handsome and heroic people in the world and those who serve the country loyally will be happy and inspired when they hear about it and are willing to be loyal to the best of their ability!"

Zhao Ying waved his hand and said seriously.

"I am not doing this to win the hearts of the people of the world, but to make future generations emperors. They must not forget where they came from, and they must not forget their roots. They must always remember how our country of Great Qin came to be, and remember to be kind to those who have fought for our Great Qin. The blood of the battles has been shed by the descendants of old soldiers!”

Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi looked solemn and bowed sternly.

"No! I will teach you."

When Zhao Ying saw this, he smiled and waved his hand.

"It's just the right thing to do. In addition, I want to build another floor next to the Martyrs' Shrine as the Lingyan Pavilion, dedicated to the famous officials and generals of our Qin Dynasty. Anyone who has made outstanding contributions to our Qin Dynasty, regardless of the ministers, Military generals can all enter the Lingyan Pavilion based on their merits, enjoy the enshrinement of the imperial court, and be admired by their descendants as their representatives for all generations..."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Quji, Li Si, and Meng Yi couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts, and they looked at Zhao Ying with a hint of eagerness.

At their current status, who can resist the temptation of this posthumous reputation!
What's more, this is not only a posthumous name, but also an immortal name like Da Qin.

If you can enter Lingyan Pavilion after death...

"Good! Your Majesty is wise!"

Feng Quji's beard was trembling with excitement. If Great Qin really built such a Lingyan Pavilion, he, a veteran of three dynasties and a veteran who had served three kings of Qin, might have a chance to enter it.

"Your Majesty, the only important thing for the country is to worship the soldiers. Building the martyrs' monument, building the Heroes' Hall, and building the Lingyan Pavilion are all major events in the world. Your Majesty can spread the edict to the world, summon the ministers, gather the power of the wise people in the world, and plan for it."

After Li Si finished speaking, he bowed.

Looking at Li Si with a respectful expression, Zhao Ying sighed inwardly, no wonder this man became so prosperous when the First Emperor was around. He really knew the elegance of the music by listening to it, and he was a master with seven orifices.

In an instant, I jumped out of my personal gains and losses and realized what I meant!
"Okay, according to your words, you will be the leader at this time, and you will be in charge of the process. Feng Xianghe will assist you. Then, summon the virtuous and upright veterans in the court to make sure that before the Lingyan Pavilion is built, the first The list of heroes of the Qin Dynasty who can be consecrated to Lingyan Pavilion is submitted to me..."
