As the First Emperor became more and more obsessive, Zhao Ying's workload in handling government affairs increased greatly every day, and he worked for a whole morning before he was almost done with it.
With this amount of work, if I had the smaller body I had in my previous life, I would be paralyzed from exhaustion.
Fortunately, his body now doesn't even know what fatigue is as long as he doesn't do extreme exercise.
"Uncle, are you considering finding another Zhongchefu Ling because you have a grandson to use it for?"
While Zhao Ying was sorting out the small mountains of memorials on several cases, he was jokingly complaining about the leisurely and contented First Emperor.
When the First Emperor heard this, he cursed angrily.
"You deserve it - who asked you to run away with my CRRC Order..."
When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately became happy.
"Father, please be reasonable. Is that what I want to leave? It was a piece of rubbish I picked up by chance. Now it is used as waste. I can drive my carriage and teach my second brother for a few days - Why, you old man still wants to come back..."
If Zhao Ying hadn't said anything, he would have had some thoughts of coming back.
After all, after so many years, he has become accustomed to having Zhao Gao serve by his side, and Zhao Gao has already formed a tacit understanding with him. Zhao Gao can always take care of many things safely without his instructions, and puts them at his disposal. accustomed position.
It is really not easy to cultivate another one.
and……
He glanced at Zhao Ying, who was carefully sorting out the memorials there, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. He held the teacup and sipped it slowly while speaking seemingly casually.
"I'm just a servant. I've given all the rewards to you, so there's no reason to ask for it back -"
When Zhao Ying heard this, his face remained calm, but he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the First Emperor really repented and wanted Zhao Gao back...
That's when it's really numb.
"However, not just anyone can do the CRRC Order - during this period, you should work harder first, and then I will look carefully..."
As long as Zhao Gao is not wanted, Zhao Ying does not matter.
After sorting out the memorials, Zhao Ying accompanied him outside for a walk, and then had lunch with the First Emperor. Zhao Ying then got up and left the palace.
It's not that he doesn't want to stay with the First Emperor, but that he still has some things that must be dealt with immediately.
Xishuishui Cottage in the west of the city.
One day later, Zhao Ying saw Chunyu Yue and Tian Ji again.
"Your Majesty has decided that from now on, the Confucian and Mohist families will be allowed to open private schools, and at the same time, the children of the two families will be promoted to the imperial court..."
Hearing the news brought by Zhao Ying, Chunyu Yue and Tian Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed, especially Tian Ji, who was even more happy. It goes without saying that this order from the First Emperor was a return favor, a reward for their promise to serve as the storyteller of the Qin Dynasty.
And they will also officially have the status to legally expand their influence.
After all, some time ago, the First Emperor banned the establishment of private schools, gathered together hundreds of schools of thought, and burned private collections of books, which really hurt them.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mediation!"
Chunyu Yue and Tian Ji knew very well that the reason for this surprise today was probably due to the contribution of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson. His Highness really does what he said and has no prejudice against hundreds of schools of thought.
Naturally, the storytellers of Great Qin this time cannot all be descendants of the Confucian and Mohist families. There may also be some civil officials appointed by the court to assist. At the same time, so many people are spread out to ensure food, clothing and personal safety. Even a series of issues such as coordination with local officials need to be solved by the court.
Zhao Ying is not good at this. He plans to hand over the matter directly to the responsible official of Jiangshan State Administration after he returns.
To be more precise, it was Zhang Liang.
Zhao Ying felt that Zhang Liang would be very happy after knowing the news. After all, he had given him such a broad stage for him to display his talents.
…
The eldest son's mansion.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel numb when he looked at the master and junior sister who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The Ministry of Rites had just been established, and Chunyu Yue and Tian Ji, who were the ministers of the left and right, had not yet officially taken office. He, the newly appointed storyteller of the Qin Dynasty, became the de facto top talker of the Ministry of Rites.
So, I had a busy day yesterday and didn’t come back. So, at noon today, when I heard that the servants in the eldest son's house ran to inform him, I found out that my master Huang Shigong and his junior sister Xu Fu came to the house specifically to look for him.
He suddenly became weak.
After all, he and His Highness the Emperor Changsun had just played a big game in the name of their master Huang Shigong!
He deceived Xu Fu, and then Xu Fu deceived the First Emperor, and almost killed all the magicians. Yesterday, following the order of the emperor's eldest grandson, countless magicians were arrested again...
The outcome is unpredictable.
Of course, he was forced.
But who would believe it?
When the master came to visit, he wanted to disappear on the spot, but he didn't want to see him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, make arrangements in the yamen, and hurried back.
However, at this moment, as he stood in front of Huang Shigong, it was difficult not to feel guilty.
"Disciple Zhang Liang, I would like to say hello to Master, why did you suddenly come -"
Zhang Liang tried his best to show an expression of surprise.
"It's better not to tell the disciples earlier, so the disciples can go and greet them..."
Looking at his disciple who had withdrawn on a whim, with a surprised expression on his face, Mr. Huang Shi always felt that there was something wrong with the expression on his disciple's face.
However, what could be wrong——
This is my own disciple!
Even if he were to die, he would think that his disciple, together with others, took advantage of him under his banner.
He didn't think much, smiled and nodded slightly.
"Occasionally, I want to take your junior sister out to see you for a while. I happened to hear that you were working in the emperor's grandson's house, so I brought your junior sister over to have a look..."
Zhang Liang was immediately relieved when he saw the reactions of Huang Shigong and Xu Fu.
fine!
My own affairs have not come to light——
The smile on his face became much more eager.
The three masters and apprentices talked about their experiences after they parted for a while. When asked how Zhang Liang entered the palace of the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhang Liang just said vaguely that he had heard the story of the emperor's eldest grandson and felt that the emperor's eldest grandson was quite charming. I want to see if I can do something extraordinary.
How dare he say that Zhao Ying took advantage of him and was forced to betray his teacher?
Huang Shigong was not surprised by this either.
Although he preaches and has a career, he does not interfere with the choices of his disciples.
In fact, except for academic groups like the Mohist School, which are similar to civilian military organizations, other schools have no rigid requirements for the selection of disciples.
Therefore, even if they are from the same school, they may belong to the enemy country.
On the contrary, Xu Fu, as a junior junior sister, looked at his senior brother with interest.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly interjected.
"Senior brother, your choice is right. Your face shows that you have recently met a noble person, and your life is better than before..."
Zhang Liang:......
May I please your noble one!
Hearing what his young apprentice said, Huang Shigong couldn't help but look at Zhang Liang's face carefully, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Sure enough, this apprentice's appearance changed!
However, compared with before, it has become a little more unpredictable. It turns out that danger and wealth coexist, and there are signs of great wealth among the great dangers.
He looked at his young apprentice with some doubts, and Xu Fu nodded seriously.
"Senior brother's nobleman has appeared - it's really interesting. Last time I looked, his nobleman was still lurking in the abyss, and seemed to be waiting for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared..."
Xu Fu blinked his big eyes with a strange look on his face, but Zhang Liang couldn't help but stir up a storm in his heart.
He naturally knew about Xu Negi's talent. He was born with a miraculous talent, and when it came to physiognomy alone, even his own teacher might not be her opponent.
Now, she actually said that her noble status has changed, and her destiny has also changed...
So, that noble man is Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor? !
Zhang Liang suddenly had mixed thoughts.
As a result, when Zhao Ying came back from the Xishuitao Hall in the west of the city, he still hadn't come back to his senses.
Knowing that Zhang Liang was entertaining his master and junior sister, Zhao Ying, an outsider, did not disturb the meeting between their master and apprentice. However, he only asked the chef to explain to him and prepared a sumptuous banquet for them.
He has not yet figured out how to use Huang Shigong and Xu Fu.
However, if you are willing to stay, that is a good sign.
…
Time is like running water. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye it was January, the thirty-sixth year of the First Emperor.
But spring did not come as promised, and the weather became colder and colder. Starting from last night, snowflakes began to fall one after another, and the snow became heavier and heavier. In just three days, people's houses were already covered with water. Reports of snow collapse.
cold!
The cold wind from Siberia is sweeping across the country again. In this era before cotton became popular, even the streets of Xianyang, which had always been relatively prosperous, had fewer pedestrians.
However, fortunately because of the briquettes, I haven't heard of many people freezing to death like in previous years.
But probably for this reason, Zhao Ying's income has been a bit high recently. Just these few small coal mines around Xianyang make him earn a lot of money every day.
If you include the large-scale open-pit coal mines in Hadong County that are already on track, the income will be even more impressive.
But there was not much joy on Zhao Ying's face. Instead, as reports of snow disasters from various places came one after another, he seemed a little worried.
Almost every change of dynasty was accompanied by a large number of natural disasters, and Great Qin was no exception.
It's late spring and cold, which is a bit unusual.
Zhao Ying and the First Emperor have not had the leisure time of the past few days. They have been busy organizing disaster relief work. Various government orders have been issued and flown to various places.
Strictly order all regions to carry out cold prevention and disaster relief work.
And he himself took more than 3,000 recruits from the recruit camp and devoted himself to resisting the snow disaster.
Helping the widowed, lonely, old, weak, sick and disabled, clearing snow, strengthening houses, and even giving away rice noodles and briquettes for heating.
Zhao Ying didn't think much about organizing disaster relief.
He is not a very noble person, but he is still willing to lend a helping hand if he can.
However, he didn't know how many strange looks this scene attracted...
