Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 273 Someone took the wrong medicine (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Zhao Gao was so frightened that he almost lost his wits. Naturally, he immediately took a poisonous oath to prove his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

"I swear that if something like this happens again in the future, I will have my descendants cut off."

Ying Zheng laughed after hearing this.

"You only have one daughter at your knees, how can you stop having children and grandchildren?"

When Ying Zheng said this, Yu Yang and all the attendants naturally laughed.

It is well known that Zhao Gao had no queen.

He was ruthless, strict in enforcing the law, and relying on His Majesty the Emperor's favor, he often flattered his superiors and bullied his subordinates.

Many people in the palace were dissatisfied with him but did not dare to offend him, so they laughed at him behind his back.

Although Zhao Gao had a shy smile on his face, as a man, the humiliation of being laughed at by a group of men of the same sex who were taller and stronger than him was definitely not a small matter.

When the minister ordered Yu Yang to seal him and then congratulate him on his promotion to the imperial servant, Zhao Gao was still between fear and surprise, and the humiliation just now filled his heart.

So Yu Yang's congratulations sounded very disdainful in his ears, and his smile also seemed like ridicule in Zhao Gao's eyes.

There was no joy on Zhao Gao's face, and he left Qinian Palace with a worried look on his face.

Zhao Gao was extremely frightened at first, but His Majesty not only pardoned his crime, but also promoted him to a higher rank.

This was entirely intentional by His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhao Gao left the palace gate, still feeling lingering in fear.

It was pouring rain outside.

To Zhao Gao just now, it was like swords and swords whizzing past his neck, but in the end he smiled softly, and then all the crises disappeared.

On a rainy night, he insisted on going home and not staying in the palace, this was something Zhao Gao rarely did.

On a rainy night in Xianyang, waves of women's miserable screams could be heard in Zhao Gao's house.

After taking out his wife and maidservant to vent his anger, the short whip in Zhao Gao's hand was stained with blood.

But Zhao Gao still couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

This was a threat at first, scaring him into thinking that his head would not be repaid.

But who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly make him a servant at this moment. One moment, he had a sword on his neck, but the next moment, he would be promoted to a noble rank.

Then came the scene where he was mocked in front of everyone for having no children.

It is said that there are three types of unfilial piety and having no descendants is the greatest.

How sad it is for a man to have no son to inherit his family business.

……

Zhao Gao hates it!
Zhao Gao stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking at a pair of green eyes in the distance.

Zhao Gao approached, it was the dog he kept as a guard at his house.

Zhao Gao looked at the dog that was soaked in the rain, and then thought that he had also been soaked in the rain. He looked very embarrassed at the moment.

Zhao Gao only felt that he was like a dog.

The dog is for the owner to look after the house and the yard. If the dog is beaten, the dog cannot bark, but has to lie on the ground, grunting and sticking out its tongue. If you throw a bone to the dog, the dog will jump around happily.

But even so, in the eyes of the owner, the dog is still a dog.

What a shameful life.

Servant, talking about promotion, in fact, you still serve His Majesty the Emperor.

The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the angrier he became, and in the middle of the night he beheaded the dog with his sword.

The next day.

A heavy rain washed away everything, leaving stains of blood hidden among the green and yellow branches and leaves.

It was dawn and it was getting colder outside.

Pedestrians walked back and forth in the narrow alley, and when they took a breath, it turned into white mist.

"It's getting colder and colder today, and it's going to be winter."

In winter, the first important thing is to keep out the cold.

Farmers cannot afford to burn charcoal, so they can only store firewood in advance.

The more firewood you store, the more comfortable you will be in winter.

Therefore, at this time of year in Xianyang City, farmers were no longer busy in the fields, but began to gather firewood everywhere in preparation for winter.

The autumn day is deserted, but Xianyang City is more lively than before.

People are coming and going, cars and horses are constantly coming, and the streets and alleys are filled with various sounds.

Those inlaid with gold and jade drive cars back and forth on the streets.

The sound of the grand construction of Chidao, the construction of palaces, and the expansion of emperor's tombs all fell silent in this late autumn, amid the howling north wind and continuous autumn rain.

In autumn and winter, it is not the time for prisoners to rest, but due to weather factors, these prisoners were able to rest in the hut.

Some experienced prisoners and craftsmen were eagerly looking forward to rain.

Because it rained, they could take a legitimate rest.Of course, the prisoners who built the imperial tomb underground were not so lucky and had to continue.

This is the latest regulation in the Qin Law.Fortifications in rainy weather will be postponed. If the deadline is delayed, it will be reported as appropriate before requesting a ruling.

Xianyang, Dazheng Palace.

The fifth doctor, Yang Moucong and Zhao Ying, went to court together today to report the progress of various projects to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the direct route originally scheduled from Xianyang to Xinzheng may be postponed until next spring."

Ying Zheng frowned.

Yang Miaocong's face tightened.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. It is not my incompetence. It is actually a new law that stipulates that work must be suspended on rainy days. It is already rainy at the end of autumn, so for nearly a month, the fortifications were not carried out as scheduled."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"New law?"

Yang Moucong shuddered.

Meng Yi hurried forward.

"Reporting to your Majesty, this provision is indeed included in the new law."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu with his peripheral vision.

“Connecting the world with Chidao is the most important thing for the country today, and it must not be delayed.

"Facts have proved that the people in the head of Guizhou cannot be driven away without severe punishments. From now on, this law is abolished."

Fusu was very puzzled. He was just a consultant when it came to revising the Qin Law, and it was Ying Zheng who made the final decision.

Why does it feel like he is blaming himself?

Inertia is human nature.What's more, the construction of the imperial mausoleum is of no use to them at all, and they lack independent motivation. If they are not strongly motivated, but are given grace to them, they will start to take advantage of the opportunity to be lazy.

Meng Yi frowned slightly after hearing this, but he quickly bowed and said.

"only."

"The Chi Road from Xianyang to Xinzheng must be completed by the end of this year."

Yang Moucong felt as if a big lump of iron was pressing on his neck.

"My minister obeys."

Zhao Ying reported again.

"To build the imperial city and build another high wall, a large amount of ashlar is needed. Most of the stones around Xianyang are used for the imperial mausoleum, which is far from enough. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to transport them from places near the river."

(River: Yellow River)

"At any cost, I want to see the newly built imperial city on the rooftop of the Spring Festival next year."

Zhao Ying's face tightened.

If he couldn't finish it in such a short time, he would lose his head by then.

"Your Majesty, five months is too hasty. I'm afraid we won't even be able to encircle the east wall."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng fell into silence.I really want to see the imperial city.

Five months and a wall to the east, so it will take nearly twenty months to build the imperial city.

When Wang Wan heard this, her mouth moved, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Therefore, Ying Zheng forced himself to make a decision that he was unwilling to make.

"I'll give you three years."

Zhao Ying's ears started to buzz.

He thought he had heard wrong.

Not only Zhao Ying, everyone thought they heard wrong.

Wang Wan listened quietly, smiling with her eyes closed.

His Majesty the Emperor must have eaten something wrong today.

The ministers raised their heads, only to see their emperor looking troubled.

"Three years from now, I will see an imperial city that has never been seen before or since."

Three years is certainly more than enough time.

Zhao Ying thanked him immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Yang Miao couldn't help but look sideways at Zhao Ying, with surprise and envy on his face.
