Qin Hu

Chapter 180 Da Qin’s version of Iron Cable and Ship, Li Si is disliked by others!
Two beautiful women? !
Zhao Zihu thought to himself, I am not sleepy if I want to say this, he also rubbed his hands and winked at the emperor.

Ying Zheng didn't know what this coward was thinking, his face was straight, and he snorted angrily: "Coward! What are you doing?"

Zhao Zihu smiled sarcastically. Zhao Gao and Meng Yi were both there, and there were also attendants and guards around. Of course, he couldn't really ask his father to elaborate.

He just said: "Father, forgive me! I thought that my father's dream was indeed a good omen, so I was so overjoyed and lost my rules."

"Oh! How lucky is it?"

This is not obvious...

Dad, you want it all yourself.

Zhao Zihu finally understood that his father had simply not seen his son for a few days, so he came to chat with him about home affairs.By the way, let's see if he has any resentment in his heart after being locked up for so long.

Smiling because of it, Zhao Zihu strode to the food table first, sat down, grabbed a prawn and gnawed it, and grabbed a jug full of fruit wine, raised his head and drank it, he said vaguely.

"Let me fill my stomach first..."

Ying Zheng did not stop him, but sat down opposite the coward with a smile.

Seeing that the coward was eating with enthusiasm, he stroked his beard with satisfaction and nodded.

After a while, Ying Zheng asked: "Do these meals still taste good?"

Zhao Zihu subconsciously thought, "That's it," but then he was startled, and then he thought, I don't think I have any better intentions of asking him to cook in person.

"That's right, that's right! The cooking skills of these royal chefs amaze me." He responded with a smile.

Sure enough, I saw a flash of disappointment in my father's eyes.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Then we can get down to business."

"Hi! Father. You just decided to cross the Xiangjiang River for inspection, and then you dreamed of a storm on the river, and Emperor E and Nvying came to sleep! Isn't this..."

Zhao Zihu paused for a moment, took a sip of wine, and then continued: "God is grateful for your virtuous governance. I would like to remind you in a dream that hurricanes often occur on the river in autumn. Don't forcefully cross the river!"

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly. This was what he thought. Moreover, when the baby jumped into Huaishui to take a bath, he had already sent a team to investigate the situation, but the most important thing now is...

How to cross the river efficiently?

He was not in the mood to wait another month, after all, the "Moon Sacrifice Festival" would be in the blink of an eye.

If we wait any longer, it will be winter...

As winter begins, the first day of October is approaching.

The first day of October is the first day of the Qin Dynasty, and the whole country celebrates...

He hurriedly hurriedly, at least he would return to Xianyang a few days before this time.

Listening to the emperor's father blinking and throwing out the question of how to cross the river, Zhao Zihu knew what his father was thinking.

He muttered: "Since Mr. Li is the one who mostly appears in my father's dream, why not ask him to come in and discuss it together?"

"Hey! If I really want him to help me plan, why would I make a special trip to call the coward over?" Ying Zheng waved his hand.

From just now, Zhao Zihu felt strange, and now he understood more deeply. Could it be that Li Si had done something to offend the emperor in the past few days?

His eyes rolled around, and he immediately had an idea: "Father! If the river is very rough, we can use the method of connecting the boat with iron ropes, supplemented by large iron nails..."

That's right!

He instantly thought of the method used by Cao Cao's army to cross the river during the Battle of Chibi.

Don't think that this method is really useless, it's actually because Lao Cao had a hard life, encountered extreme weather, and Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were good at fire attacks.

Seeing the coward sipping wine and drawing on the desk while explaining it carefully, Ying Zheng's eyes gradually brightened, and then he gave a high-five.

He laughed and said: "Okay! This is a good idea! Connecting the building boats in twos and threes not only eliminates the risk of wind and waves, but also saves most of the northwest soldiers from seasickness."

"Who can handle it? Gan Luo, the young master, has already taken over important tasks such as making candles, soaps, and whale skin shield leather. I'm afraid they won't be separated!"

Ying Zheng took advantage of the situation and took a look, okay!The coward was lowering his head and pretending to be drinking in a depressed manner. He looked like it was none of my business, but he didn't force anything.

Anyway, if we have a method, we won't have to worry about finding people to do the work. We have to wait for the situation on the other side of the Xiangjiang River first.

Just like that, he let his coward accompany him to eat and drink for the time being. When Hu Kan, who was from all over the world, got up, he invited Zhao Gao and Meng Yi to join him and also drank.

The atmosphere in the imperial tent became extremely joyful.

However, when the nobles outside heard the laughter and laughter, they were a little confused.

Li Si, in particular, felt even more miserable. He was pacing back and forth outside his tent, looking towards the imperial tent from time to time, obviously worried about something.

After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, Li Si finally saw the stubborn clan member staggering out of the imperial tent, and he didn't forget to rush inside and clasp his hands.

"Then Father! I will go back first..."

With a thought in his heart, he immediately picked up the hem of his clothes and started running towards the camp where Xiang Liyue was.

It was already a quarter of an hour later when the stubborn clan member appeared in front of him again with drunken steps.

Li Si hurriedly welcomed the general up, clasped his hands and said, "Sir! I have something I want to ask you for advice."

"Hey! Ho! Mr. Li? Mr. Li, please be careful. I can't eat anymore. Let's get together again in the evening!" Zhao Zihu shook his head and waved his hands, allowing Zhao Tuo to come over and help him.

He saw Li Si frowning and his goatee trembling.Seeing the other party nodding, clasping his hands to express his resignation, he quickly left.

Zhao Zihu was helped into the tent. When he saw the smiling Xiang Liyue, he immediately broke away from Zhao Tuo and stood up straight, without looking a little drunk.

"It seems that there has been a rift between my father and Prime Minister Li in the past few days, right?"

Xiang Liyue responded affirmatively: "Yeah! I heard something, it seems to be about..."

"I know even if you don't tell me! It should be about second brother Li Gui." Zhao Zihu interrupted.

Glancing at Zhao Tuo who was retreating, Xiang Liyue asked doubtfully: "Then how do you plan to deal with it?" "I will definitely help! After all, he is my uncle when he was young. It depends on whether Li Xiang can let go of his dignity."

Zhao Zihu smiled, stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the couch, and brought Xiang Liyue to him.

Seeing that he reached out to touch his stomach, Xiang Liyue knocked it away and said angrily: "I have been detained for five days and you are still so dishonest..."

"I heard that Cicada brought you food every day and stayed with you alone for five days. Looking at you like this, are you not bullying anyone?"

"I told you to wait for her! Why don't you believe it? Also, when it comes to giving food, I have a problem..."

Zhao Zihu reluctantly put his arms around Xiang Liyue and used her palms to rub her belly: "Why didn't you think of giving it to me too?"

Xiang Liyue hurriedly expressed his injustice, saying that this was to give him and Diao Chan more space to be alone: ​​"How should I say, this private visit between you and my father incognito..."

"She could barely bear it without her! But when she came back, she immediately brought an extra Lu Pheasant with her, which is really unreasonable. Don't coax her!"

The time spent with a beautiful woman flies by like time.

It was dusk in the blink of an eye, and Li Si came as invited and sat down with Zhao Zihu and Xiang Liyue.

Looking at the table full of dishes on the table, Li Si had no intention of picking up his chopsticks, and repeatedly raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, sir!"

Zhao Zihu glanced at Xiang Liyue and asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Li know that my father had a dream this morning, and he also dreamed about Mr. Li?"

"This, this, this. What was your Majesty's dream like?" Li Si's eyes widened in surprise as he had no idea at all.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Zihu immediately recounted the dream of the Emperor Lao Tzu in detail. Xiang Liyue couldn't help but cover her mouth after hearing this, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Li Si was even more panicked. His hand stroking his beard almost pulled off a bunch of beard. He said in a trembling voice, "What? In your Majesty's eyes, have I become so rigid and pedantic?"

Zhao Zihu didn't pay attention to the old official's emotion and asked: "Did Xiang Li go to my father to apologize for the Pengcheng case these days?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Si nodded heavily, and then let out a long sigh.

"Li Xiang believes that his father will definitely blame brother Gui for the Xiang family's rebellion, so he wants to retreat in order to protect brother Gui?"

Li Si nodded again with a frustrated expression: "When I looked back, I realized that I was confused and had misunderstood Your Majesty! I am indeed pedantic!"

Zhao Zihu denied it on the spot and explained that I did not think you were pedantic just because you, Li Si, took the initiative to apologize to your nephew.

"We make a bold guess that Father may think you are stupid because you realized your mistake and didn't dare to ask him again for brother Gui's matter..."

After hearing what Zhao Zihu said, Li Si lowered his head slightly and began to think, but couldn't turn around for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this, Master?"

"I guess that that time, Prime Minister Li asked my father for forgiveness in front of all the civil and military ministers, right? But my father never responded at all, right?"

Zhao Zihu smiled helplessly, and Li Si suddenly reacted, his eyes full of surprise.

"Young master, are you saying that your majesty never meant to blame Gui'er? It was me who took the initiative to plead guilty this time, forcing your majesty to deal with Gui'er..."

Li Si stroked his goatee again and thought carefully: "Your Majesty originally wanted to find someone under the ladder. But after I apologized once, nothing happened!"

Zhao Zihu and Xiang Liyue immediately looked at each other and smiled. They both knew that Li Si was very smart, but because of Pengcheng's affairs, he was confused when he cared about Li Gui.

After figuring out the key, Li Si suddenly felt enlightened: "In that case, I should hurry up and go and apologize again! Only in this way can I eliminate His Majesty's doubts..."

"Hey! It's easy for my father to apologize to Li after such a long time. The other nobles will definitely think you are making a show, and if it reaches my father's ears, there will be another problem!"

Zhao Zihu shook his head in disapproval, and then suggested: "You might as well put the results of Brother Gui's treatment directly in front of your father. Everyone will feel that Li Xiang is very sincere!"

"for example……"

"For example, dismissal from office. Anyway, I feel that Brother Gui has had enough experience and it's time to return to Prime Minister Li!" This is Zhao Zihu's real plan. When he returns to Xianyang after a while, he will also transfer Zhang Liang back.

When Li Si heard this, he excitedly said "yes". Originally, when Li Gui said that he wanted to be decentralized, he disagreed with it.He was already ashamed of his brother. Naturally, he wanted to protect his only young brother.

But unfortunately, both Li Gui and Li You have the same temperament. They always hang out with the clan and seem to have no ambitions at first glance. But once they get serious, even ten cows can't hold them back, so Li Si can only agree to let them go. .

Now that he had such a legitimate reason to get Li Gui back to him, Li Si was naturally filled with joy. He stood up and took two steps back, bowed deeply to Zhao Zihu and clasped his hands. He didn't even eat dinner and left immediately.

Early in the morning of the next day, Zhao Zihu hugged Xiang Liyue before he woke up. The whole camp was filled with the voice of Zhao Gao announcing his decree: "The emperor has an order! Li Gui, the magistrate of Pengcheng County, did not investigate and caused Xiangjiazhuang to rebel. Sitting bigger day by day..."

"He should have been severely punished! In memory of his uncle, Prime Minister Li Si, he took the initiative to plead guilty. At my discretion, he is now dismissed from the post of Pengcheng County Magistrate, and ordered to rush to the Xiangjiang River to assist his uncle Li Si and supervise the iron rope and ship matters. There must be no error!"

Zhao Zihu and his wife were woken up. When they had breakfast, they heard Zhao Tuo say that the result was that Li Si begged again in front of all the nobles, but was ignored by His Majesty. Finally, last night, he went to beg the emperor privately for the third time, and it was only possible. of.

Zhao Zihu asked Zhao Tuo to pay attention to the gang. Two days later, he heard that Li Gui had passed the Huai River camp and was heading to western Hunan, and Li Si was also preparing to set off.

Moreover, the waves on the Xiangjiang River are indeed so powerful that the surrounding Miao people do not dare to go into the water.

Knowing that her husband cared about this second brother, Xiang Liyue had been rushing to make a jacket a few days ago. When he heard about it, he ordered Zhao Tuo to send it to Li Si.

However, Zhao Zihu stopped him and said, "I'd better take it to Prime Minister Li personally. Father must have known that I was giving advice to Prime Minister Li, so there's no need to avoid suspicion now!"

As he said that, he took the coat from Zhao Tuo's hand, and with a groan, he glanced at the man and quickly walked out of the camp, riding away on horseback.

Zhao Tuo had been following the young master Zihu for so long and had developed a thick skin, so he didn't care about it and just smiled.

When Zhao Zihu arrived at the gate of the camp, he saw Xiang Yu and Liu Bang again with unkempt hair and dirty clothes, and their clothes were in tatters.

Xiang Yu seemed to have endless energy, hanging on the pulley and roaring loudly, like a giant humanoid beast.

Liu Bang curled up in the cage, shivering in the biting autumn wind, like a plucked old rooster.

At this time, Li Si was standing in front of the carriage, waving goodbye to Han Fei, Ying Yao and others.

There were not many people who came to see him off, only three or two people, which showed how cool this old official was on weekdays.

Liu Bang found that the young master was approaching him, his eyes flickering between himself and Xiang Yu playfully. Liu Bang felt as if he had seen his savior.

He hurriedly crawled closer, knocked his head against the cage bars, and cried, "Oh! Master, Master. Please do well..."

"Go and intercede with His Majesty the Emperor. I, Liu Bang, really won't rebel and I don't dare to rebel. Can I ask him to be noble and let me live?"
