my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 83
"That's okay if people think—"

The First Emperor glanced at him angrily, and shook the rocking chair lightly in leisure time.

"In a few days, I will talk to Old General Wang about this matter—the daughter of the Wang family is also considered to be the one I watched growing up. She is dignified and virtuous, with outstanding looks, and she is barely worthy of my grandson..."

Zhao Ying was amused, and the movements of his hands were much more attentive.

Marriage with the Wang family was originally the result of his painstaking efforts, but now that Emperor Shi Huang gave him permission, he was naturally very happy.

Seeing that the first emperor was in a good mood, Zhao Ying took the opportunity to take out the "Casting Army Soul" in his bosom.

"Father, take a look at this. I just wrote it recently. Give me palm and see if it works. If you see it works, I plan to implement it among the [-] new troops first to try out the effect." -"

"You wrote it?"

It was the first time that Emperor Shihuang saw his grandson write something, and he took it curiously.

After simply turning over, he couldn't help but stare, and subconsciously sat up straight.

"Ideological construction is the soul of an army. As a soldier of the Great Qin Dynasty, one must have ideals, beliefs, pursuits, and responsibilities. Always be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, guard the land and secure the people, open up territories, create a unified world, and prestige in the universe. The Great Qin Empire is the highest standard. Resolutely obey His Majesty's will, obey His Majesty's command, be the sharpest sword in His Majesty's hands, be the most loyal guard behind His Majesty, and be the most trustworthy patron saint of the people of Great Qin—"

The paragraph at the beginning of the article is almost all vernacular.

On the contrary, some of the clauses in the back are written colorfully, embellished with some classics from time to time.

The first emperor looked at this article called "Casting the Soul of the Army" word by word, and the more he read it, the more surprised he was. Since ancient times, the army has not been devoid of ideological construction, such as "No Clothes" in "Qin Feng" and other poems. There are also many sung songs, which have played a big role in gathering morale, but it is the first time someone has systematically proposed to strengthen the ideological construction of the army and forge the soul of the army.

As an emperor, he naturally saw the value of this article at a glance.

It wasn't until the last word was carefully read that Emperor Shihuang turned his face and looked at his little grandson carefully.

Zhao Ying was taken aback by the first emperor, thinking that his writing was inappropriate.

"I know that my level is not good enough, and my thoughts are still very immature-don't look at me like that, if you look inappropriate, then forget it..."

Zhao Ying touched his nose in embarrassment.

Seeing the embarrassment on his grandson's face, Shi Huang couldn't help laughing.

"I really have a good grandson, this formulation is good, very good—"

The First Emperor said, pondered for a while, and was a little dissatisfied.

"I think it was written very well before, why did I write so many literary things later, I changed it..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I want to add some literary talent to my article, is it easy?
I did my best not to mention it, and I even asked Chen Ping to polish it for me, but I changed it back directly.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Shi Huang shook his head with a smile.

"I know that most of the soldiers in your new army can read and write, but how many words and books can they read? How can they understand these things—not to mention, there are millions of soldiers in our Great Qin Dynasty, and there are many who can read and write. How many people, you write in a very elegant manner, who will read it..."

Zhao Ying:! ! ! ! ! !

Am I stupid through time travel, or have I been poisoned by that old fellow Chun Yuyue, to make such a low-level question, and to want to give a group of bosses a rough and colorful article.

"Father, I was wrong!"

Zhao Ying scratched his head a little ashamedly.

Seeing that, Emperor Shi Huang couldn't help smiling, and waved his hands briskly.

"I don't blame you for these things. It can be seen that you have tried to speak as straightforwardly and plainly as possible, and many of the classics you quoted are good and quite literary..."

Zhao Ying almost felt a little embarrassed when Emperor Shi Huang praised him so much.

"Cough, cough, father, this was all polished by one of my scribes..."

The First Emperor glanced at him somewhat unexpectedly, and the look of admiration in his eyes couldn't help but grow stronger.

Don't be greedy for merit.

At such a young age, he already has the bearing of a superior person.

"Okay, you can take it back and try—"

The First Emperor carefully folded the article written in cloth and stuffed it into Zhao Ying's hand, pointing casually.

"You usually like to write on cloth, it doesn't matter now, it's not a good habit to open a house in the future—"

Zhao Ying cheerfully stuffed the article into his arms and said casually.

"Wooden slips and bamboo slips are clumsy and heavy, and it's too inconvenient to use, but don't worry, Father, I'll find a way to find a cheap and light thing to replace these cloths..."

Shi Huang glanced at him, only to ignore him as if he was talking nonsense again, and lay back on his rocking chair on his own.

"Oh—that's a good thing, I also feel that the wooden slips and bamboo slips are a bit inconvenient..."

For lunch, Zhao Ying still cooks in person. There is a simple plate of fried bean sprouts, fried eggs with leeks, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

The mushrooms were brought here specially by him. The first emperor's body was the first priority. Only by eating well can he be in good health.

On this point, Zhao Ying was very careful.

The grandparents and grandchildren had a relaxed and comfortable meal, and passed away talking and laughing.

In the past few days of the new year, the holidays at the recruit camp have not yet ended, and it is not convenient for me to go to the old general Wang Jian to learn the art of war.After returning from the palace, Zhao Ying started his study and exercise mode again.

Although he found that the improvement of his physical fitness seemed to be only related to eating, not to exercise, but he still exercised hard every day, to build up his body, and to practice riding, archery and various attacking skills.

In particular, the two tricks learned from Li Shu have been pondered over and over again.

The two confrontations with Li Shu made him deeply realize that good physical fitness and fast reaction speed only give him a strong foundation, but if he wants to be a fierce general who sweeps the battlefield, he must also make these a kind of strength. Muscle memory, an instinctive reaction.

And all of these need to be honed and polished, and no one can replace them.

He originally thought that his days would pass quietly in this way in the past few days. However, what he didn't expect was that in the evening, a shocking news caused a sensation in Xianyang.

At the beginning of the new year, a prophecy appeared in Shangjun!

"This year the first emperor died, and the land will be divided after death."

I don't know what happened, but as soon as the news came to Xianyang, it spread rapidly as if it had grown wings. The first emperor was furious, and several decrees came out in succession. Meng Yi and Nei Shiteng were urgently called into the palace.

On the Black Ice Terrace, iron cavalry rushed out in all directions, and for a while, the whole Xianyang was in turmoil.

Even the pedestrians on the street were sparse.

Zhao Ying couldn't help frowning.

This news caught him by surprise.

When I read history in my previous life, I didn’t seem to have this incident. Is this event submerged in history due to some special reasons, or it didn’t happen in the original history.

If it didn't exist in the original history, is it because of the butterfly effect caused by my time travel?

But after a little hesitation, he made a decision, pulled the towel to wipe the sweat off his face, and went straight to Ganquan Palace.It's not that he wants to get involved in such a sensitive matter, but because he subconsciously feels that this matter is a bit unusual.

Shangjun is where my cheap father stays.

My father will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility. The most frightening thing is that, based on his understanding of Fusu during the period of time after time travel, this time, there is a possibility that something serious will happen.

Because the last time the meteorite fell from the sky in Hedong County is still vivid in my mind, if the court can't find out who did it in the end, then follow the precedent of Hedong County to clean it up on a large scale——

Others dare not say that their cheap father will definitely jump out and confront Shi Huangdi again.

Thinking of this ending, Zhao Ying felt his scalp go numb.

What is the purpose of my hard work and the favor of the first emperor every day? Isn't it to save myself and the fate of this Great Qin one day.

In his opinion, the best solution is, of course, that his influence in the court and the army will gradually grow, becoming a force that cannot be ignored, and then help his father return to Xianyang from Shangjun.

If things can't be done and he can't return to Xianyang, he also hopes that Fusu can stay in Shangjun safely and honestly, and then he will hold the army in his hand and push this cheap old man forward.

Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si, the left minister, had to stand aside.

After all, Fusu's popularity in the court and the public was almost unmatched, and he was the eldest son of the first emperor, so he naturally had a political advantage.

However, if because of this incident, the iron-headed father of his family completely broke up with the first emperor, then the development of the matter would be really unpredictable.

But when he hurried to Ganquan Palace, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Serious and depressing, everyone is in a hurry.

In Zhangtai Palace.

The right minister Feng Quji, the left minister Li Si, Shangqing Mengyi, Nei Shiteng, and Hei Bingtai chief officer Hei all knelt and sat on the sides with serious expressions. The first emperor's face was as frosty and his eyes were cold.

Even if he caught a glimpse of Zhao Ying sneaking in from the gate of the main hall, he didn't react in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, I think that this must be the work of the remnants of the six kingdoms. It's just a sensationalism to confuse the people—"

Seeing Emperor Shi Huang looking over, Nei Shiteng stood up and bowed back.

"Besides, after the news came out, it spread throughout Xianyang in just half a day. I thought that there must be a traitor inside Xianyang City, and I suggest a strict investigation—"

Hearing Nei Shiteng's words, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion who was standing beside the First Emperor, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, secretly glanced at Nei Shiteng standing below, and quickly lowered his eyes again.

But I couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

This matter, of course, was a strategy he and Zhang Liang had set up a long time ago, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Liang's people would act so fast and have such courage, and they dared to add fuel to the flames under Shi Huang's nose.

However, fortunately, he doesn't need to intervene in this matter. He just needs to push forward the situation before the first emperor makes a decision on the matter in Shangjun, and everything will be fine.

Unknowingly.

Thinking of these, he felt a little more at ease.

Zhao Ying didn't dare to disturb the group of people discussing political affairs, so he quietly walked to Hei's side and stood down, quietly becoming an audience.

"Strictly investigate the source of the prophecy, although it is urgent, the top priority is to control public opinion and eliminate the influence—otherwise, once it is combined with the rumors in the Kanto region, other incidents may occur..."

With a serious expression, Li Si stood up and suggested.

"My minister suggested that the punishment should be severe and the law should be severely punished for those who gather and discuss in public places..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help raising his head and glanced at him, then frowned slightly.

It's this set again.

In fact, this is not the first time Li Si made such a suggestion. Last time, he and Chun Yuyue debated in the hall for more than half a month because of the dispute over the county system and enfeoffment system, and there was no winner.

Therefore, he suggested that Emperor Shihuang collect the books of the world into Xianyang, and prohibit students from various schools, including Confucianism, from arbitrarily discussing state affairs in public places such as streets and alleys.

In short, if you can't make a noise, just ban the speech, and use the privilege of banning the speech to play like a thief.

What problem does this solve...

But what surprised Zhao Ying was that none of these big shots in the hall objected, and even took it for granted.

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"Decree, Heibingtai cooperates with the internal history office, strictly investigates the source of rumors in Xianyang, and prohibits people from discussing in the street—"

"My dear friends, what do you think about the Shangjun matter, how should I deal with it..."

As soon as the First Emperor's words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated.

This is a most sensitive issue.

"Weichen thinks that we should conduct strict investigations from house to house first, and wait until the results are available..."

Feng Quji hesitated for a moment, stood up, and answered boldly.As for what to say, everyone knows very well that once the desired result is not found, it must be a replica of the Hedong county meteorite prophecy.

Under the wrath of the first emperor, blood must have flowed into rivers.

Because in this era, including the first emperor, almost everyone is in awe of ghosts and gods. Ordinary people even look at the almanac when they work, when they go out, when they have children, and when they can stay. , to see if it is auspicious.

The influence of such an unexplainable prophecy appearing on the stone is far beyond what future generations can imagine.

"Cough——I don't think it's too much trouble for the eldest father..."

After Zhao Ying roughly figured out the whole story and situation of the matter, he couldn't help coughing lightly, and stood up.

After hearing Zhao Ying finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but stare, and looked over in surprise.

"What can you do—"

The first emperor's heart moved, and he looked at Zhao Ying calmly.

"Actually, the reason why the prophecies have so much influence is because the common people don't know how those prophecies appeared on those big rocks - as long as those people's seemingly mysterious methods are exposed, and the common people know that it is someone's trick, that's all. The prophecy will be self-defeating..."

"Young master knows how the prophecy appeared on the stone..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"As far as I know, this matter is not difficult. I don't know if the Mohist can do it, but a better Fang Family warlock should be able to do this..."

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the hall, including the First Emperor, suddenly became meaningful.

What Zhao Ying said did not intend to say that in all likelihood, this incident was done by those Fang family magicians or Mohist disciples.Although I don't know what method Zhao Ying said, but seeing the determined expression on Zhao Ying's face, the big guy couldn't help but believe it.

Everyone has seen those novel methods of the eldest grandson of the emperor more than once.

"Okay, let's try—"
