Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 464 The harmonious relationship between grandfather and grandson!

"Han Xin is back!" Feng Quji's eyes lit up.

"It's good to be back..." Wang Wan's cloudy eyes showed a bit of joy.

"Han Xin made great achievements in Longxi. He conquered the Hu Yueshi in the east in one battle, expanded the territory thousands of miles, and ensured decades of peace. No matter what, your Majesty will always hold a court meeting. I don't know that in recent days, your Majesty has decided to appoint a prince. What..." Wang Wan asked.

"Isn't the Right Prime Minister paying attention to these things?" Feng Quji sounded a little surprised.

"I don't live in the city, so Feng Yushi doesn't know about these things." Wang Wan coughed twice as he spoke.

As time went by, Wang Wan's influence inevitably began to decline.

Although, he has been active in the court since the day the First Emperor ascended the throne.

Although the actual power was previously occupied by Li Si, he was still the nominal head of the hundred officials. The position of right prime minister was given up. After abdicating the throne in favor of worthy people, Wang Wan's wings gradually dwindled.

After taking the initiative to leave Xianyang and return to my hometown, I have fewer news channels.

Wang Wan is considered older, and of his old friends from back then who are still active, Feng Quji is the only one left.

Because he left the court, Wang Wan also took the initiative to transfer his remaining political power to Feng Quji.

Fortunately, Feng Quji still respected Wang Wan. At least on the matter of establishing a prince, Feng Quji would always ask Wang Wan for his opinion.

"After obeying the wishes of the Right Prime Minister and going to report and discuss the matter of establishing the Crown Prince, Your Majesty no longer remains silent as before. As far as His Majesty's recent reply is concerned, he has the intention to discuss it publicly." Feng Quji He opened his mouth and answered.

"My young master, has the Zhao Kingdom been pacified now?" Wang Wanfu asked again.

"It has been pacified. Zhang Cang is capable after all, and the young master's disciples are all capable of governing a place. In a few years, Zhao will probably become stronger because of this." Feng Quji said.

"That's good. If nothing else happens, His Majesty will hold a court meeting in a few days. One is to show Han Xin's merits, and the other is to discuss the matter of establishing a heir apparent.

Now that what Your Majesty wants has been achieved, the eldest son's position as the crown prince will probably be confirmed. Apart from that, are there any other things? Wang Wan continued to ask.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the eldest son's wife, Mi, has been complaining a lot recently." Feng Quji replied.

"Is it because of Mr. Changyi?" Wang Wan asked.

"Yes... Mi's family is short-witted, and the eldest son suddenly has an extra wife and an extra child..." Feng Quji sighed.

"Then what's the eldest son's attitude?" Wang Wan continued to ask.

"I heard that the eldest son reprimanded him once for this kind of thing..." Feng Quji sighed.

Mi Lan's mindless behavior really made him unhappy and confused him.

Mi Lan has always regarded herself as a legitimate wife, but legally speaking, the eldest son does not have a legitimate wife. This is not only true for the eldest son, but also for all the eighteen young men in Da Qin.

Indeed, the eldest son did receive help from his relatives from the Chu family at the beginning, and even the First Emperor could not be established as the crown prince without the support of his relatives from the Chu family.

But what time is it now? All the relatives of the Chu family were killed by the First Emperor.

Do you really think that just because you were born in the Mi family, you have a noble status?

What's the situation now? It was not that Zhao Si relied on the eldest son to establish a grandson, but the eldest son relied on Zhao Si to establish a prince.

"Alas..." Upon hearing this, Wang Wan's cloudy eyes slowly closed and were unable to lift them up.

"Is there anything you can give me, right minister?" Feng Quji asked after hearing Wang Wan's sigh.

"I caught a cold a few days ago, and my health has been getting worse recently. What other advice can I give you?

Your Majesty has your own ideas, and as ministers, you just have to stop being smart. "Wang Wan sighed.

Feng Quji heard the sound and became determined.

What Wang Wan meant was that the eldest son's position as crown prince could finally be finalized.

As long as it's finalized, at this time, it's enough to decide on the prince. What else do you need a bicycle?

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice..." Feng Quji bowed and prepared to leave.

He stepped across the threshold, but was stopped by Wang Wan.

"Doctor Feng..."

Feng Quji stopped when he heard the sound and looked at Wang Wan.

"Young Master, the country has just been sealed off, and the Zhao Kingdom is extremely short of talent. I heard that it has even reached the point where criminals who should be assigned to prison are being put in shackles to handle the case." Wang Wan's voice was slightly muddy.

"What does Wang Xiang mean?" Feng Quji asked.

"I have sent the younger generation of my family to Zhao. We are old, and there will be young people at home after all. Feng Jie is quite capable, why not seek an official position in Zhao?"

Feng Quji was shocked when he heard the sound.

Of course he understood what Wang Wan meant. He looked at Wang Wan tentatively, but Wang Wan had already closed his eyes and said nothing, clearly planning to see the guest off.

Feng Quji felt a little uneasy and left Wang Wan's mansion with a frown on his face.

Wang Wan was left alone, and his coughing suddenly became violent. His grandson Wang Hui quickly supported Wang Wan's body and continued to soothe Wang Wan's back.

"Hui'er... what do you think of Zhao Guo?" Wang Wan asked after finally regaining her composure.

Wang Hui is Wang Wan's favorite grandson. He is not the eldest son, but he is favored by Wang Wan.

"Father, I don't understand." Wang Hui knelt down beside Wang Wan and spoke.

"What don't you understand?" Wang Wan asked with her eyes closed.

"The eldest son, he..."

"After the eldest father retired, the disciples dispersed, and there were not many left. Not many former students and colleagues came to visit, but the eldest son visited several times... Besides, the eldest son... "Wang Hui's tone was somewhat questioning.

"Yes... the eldest son is a good man." Wang Wan nodded.

"Then what's wrong, eldest father?" Wang Hui frowned.

"Hui'er, I'm old, so I don't want to avoid saying something. If there were no Your Majesty, the eldest son would be a very good king." Wang Wan had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you only love the younger son, but not the eldest son..."

Under this situation, isn't the human touch that they like in the eldest son a weakness?

"I don't want to go to Zhao Di..." Wang Hui shook his head.

"Then I won't go... It's better to stay in Xianyang to see my eldest father off." Wang Wan shook her head and smiled and rubbed Wang Hui's head.

The eldest son's personality charm is indeed great.

Wang Hui's resistance is reasonable.

But it doesn't matter... after all, there is more than just one Wang Hui in the Wang family.

What's more, Wang Hui is not the eldest son.

As a party member of the eldest son, I can be regarded as a party member of the eldest son...

Hedging their bets and weighing the pros and cons is their specialty.

There are aristocratic families outside the pass, and there is no shortage of them inside the pass.

Although Wang Wan was silenced by Li Si, in the final analysis, Li Si was the upstart.

How many sons does Li Si have? How many tribesmen are there?

After all, the eldest son and the youngest son are father and son, so there is no psychological burden if they bet on both sides.

Although it seems that the estrangement and camps between the eldest son and the youngest son are becoming more and more obvious at present, the worst case scenario may not necessarily happen.

Not just Wang Wan...

The old clans under Fusu and the old nobles in Guanzhong are actually similar.

They are behemoths who have been working hard for hundreds of years. Correspondingly, the number of choices they can make, the high error tolerance rate, and the terrifying intricate connections are far beyond what Li Si can compare with.

On the other side, Han Xin, who had just returned to Xianyang, was immediately summoned by the First Emperor.

In the palace, in the main hall.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu stood still among them.

The First Emperor occupied the main position, and Zhao Si sat beside him, looking at the two people who were incompatible with each other in history. "Your Majesty, Han Xin! (Xiang Yu) See you, Your Majesty! See you, Young Master!"

Both of them bowed and performed the ceremony.

"I heard that you are a disciple of Sir?" The First Emperor looked at Han Xin.

Han Xin nodded.

Although Han Xin had learned that his lord had transformed into the Young Master of Great Qin before he came back, Han Xin still did not expect that things would unfold like this.

Others are outside the Pass, and no matter how much they pay attention to the news in Guanzhong, they are not detailed. They just heard that the First Emperor liked his lord very much, but when he saw her today, he was still frightened.

"In that case, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and answer." The First Emperor said, and the palace servants brought in cushions.

After Han Xin saluted, he knelt down solemnly.

Xiang Yu watched all this with an expressionless face, looking at the first emperor who was in charge and Zhao Si beside him.

He listened to his uncle's advice and chose to endure. He transformed from a nobleman of a noble family into a slave and a halberd wielder. This was definitely his greatest shame.

But he got through it...

Today, he stands in front of the First Emperor again.

And the distance between him and the First Emperor was now only ten steps away.

When the common man was angry, blood spattered five steps forward!

However, when his eyes met Zhao Si, who was looking at him with a half-smile, Xiang Yu suppressed his inner impulse.

"Long time no see, Xiang Ji!"

Zhao Si smiled and looked at Xiang Yu, who was still standing.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he was surprised to find that the First Emperor didn't seem to care about Zhao Si's act of taking over the throne.

"I have read the battle report of Longxi. The credit for leading the army is all due to Han Xin. The credit for defeating the enemy, beheading the generals and capturing the flag is all due to Qin. The Qin Dynasty will never treat meritorious personnel ill and grant seats."

Han Xin listened quietly on the side, and was surprised to find that the palace people seemed to be accustomed to Zhao Si's giving orders.

When Zhao Si spoke, it was as if the First Emperor himself spoke. They moved the cushions respectfully and took Zhao Si's order seriously as the First Emperor's order.

"Thank you, Master, for the seat." Xiang Yu heard this and sat side by side with Han Xin with some subtle emotions.

"You two are indispensable for the great victory in Longxi. The Qin Dynasty expanded its territory for thousands of miles and its borders were secure for decades. It's all your fault. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" The First Emperor said with a smile.

"It all depends on His Majesty's decision." Han Xin spoke at the right time.

At some point, Han Xin's emotional intelligence is actually not low.

At least that's the case when facing the First Emperor.

Zhao Si raised his eyebrows, not caring about Han Xin's high emotional intelligence, but looking at Xiang Yu who was burying his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Ok……

The Xiang family was miserable. Uncle Xiang Liang, who had brought Xiang Ji up since childhood, committed suicide.

Xiang Yu, the famous overlord of Western Chu in history, was so arrogant that he would rather die than cross the Yangtze River, but he chose to surrender.

Zhao Si didn't know how Xiang Yu made such a choice.

But he knew that with Xiang Yu's character, he would never eliminate hatred easily.

As for Xiang Yu now, who is hiding his expression, no one can tell what kind of inner drama is going on in his heart.

Hate?

revenge?

When a common man gets angry, blood splashes five steps?

Zhao Si didn't know, but he knew that Xiang Yu was an aloof tiger and would never bow his head so easily to be used by the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, outside, Zhao Si will always use Han Xin to restrain him.

And after coming back...

Zhao Si smiled and looked at the two people who were dozens of steps apart and spoke.

"Come forward and tell us more about Longxi."

Han Xin heard the sound and bowed forward.

Xiang Yu followed suit and moved the cushion.

Zhao Si noticed that Xiang Yu's steps were heavy and powerful.

At that moment, he was ready to take action at any time.

Knowing that Han Xin and Xiang Yu were sitting across the bank, Zhao Si still had no chance to take action.

Han Xin described the battle in Longxi in detail as if he didn't notice it. The First Emperor listened attentively, and in some places he even asked Han Xin carefully and praised him.

Both Zhao Si and Xiang Yu seemed a little absent-minded.

Until the question and answer was over and Han Xin and Xiang Yu left the palace, Xiang Yu did not move at all.

Zhao Si looked at the two departing figures with a faint look in his eyes, a little sad.

"You have a good clientele..." The First Emperor's eyes were a bit complicated.

"I'm just a little arrogant."

Zhao Si smiled when he heard the sound: "It doesn't matter..."

"I'm afraid it's hard to find anyone who can compare with Xiang Ji's bravery. With these two people, Donghu and Yuezhi won't lose unjustly." The First Emperor nodded.

"Xiang Ji, what do you think?" The First Emperor suddenly looked at Zhao Si with interest.

"Reward for merit, punishment for demerit."

"It doesn't matter what he thinks, I only see what he does." Zhao Si stood up and stretched his body.

"Does the eldest father even worry about such a small thing for me?" Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor with a smile on his face.

Xiang Yu? Very good at fighting? What's the use of being able to fight?

It is true that a common man is so angry that he will be splashed with blood for five steps, but in Zhao Si's case, it is an exception.

When an ordinary man is angry, he will only splash Zhao Si all over.

"Yes, this makes him look like a prince." The First Emperor nodded with appreciation on his face.

Ever since Zhao Si showed his true feelings and told the First Emperor directly that he wanted to be the emperor, the First Emperor's love and appreciation for Zhao Si became even more palpable.

At every turn, my grandson is really presentable and has my style.

Of course, it was just words. The First Emperor knew that Zhao Si would not be proud of this, and Zhao Si also knew that the First Emperor would not relax even a little bit about him.

However, it is difficult to find such a harmonious relationship even if we look at history.

In the world, for the sake of the throne, fathers kill sons, sons kill fathers, brothers kill each other, and siblings fight against each other.

As the saying goes, there is no father and son in the heavenly family, and no family ties in the heavenly family.

But when it came to Zhao Si and the First Emperor, there was no estrangement or discomfort at all.

"The land of Zhao has been settled, and Han Xin has returned. I plan to hold a court meeting in three days to show my merits and discuss the matter of establishing a crown prince. What do you think?" The First Emperor turned his head and looked at Zhao Si.

"Why do you still ask me about such a trivial matter?" Zhao Si laughed and made a joke.
