After encouraging Xiangli Zhu, Li Shui rushed to the palace excitedly to see Wei Young.
The journey was smooth, and Li Shui soon arrived at the palace where Wei Yang lived.
The poppy was tending the flowers with two little palace maids. When she saw Li Shui coming, she smiled at him.
Meiren Yu said: "Recently, the banished immortals have made great achievements in foreign lands and become famous. Even those in the palace admire them very much."
Li Shuigan laughed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty inherits the destiny of heaven and obeys the people's will, so he is always unfavorable. I am just lucky enough to help your majesty. This knife may be sharper, but the real credit should be there. On one hand."
Poppy smiled: "In the past, I always heard people say that the banished immortal was very eloquent, and the ministers who often argued in court were speechless. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
Li Shui smiled modestly, and then asked: "Excuse me, is Princess Weiyang here?"
The poppy nodded and pointed to a side hall.
Li Shui bowed respectfully and turned around to walk that way.
Poppy suddenly stopped him again: "Exiled Immortal, you and Weiyang are nameless and have no distinction. It's probably not good for you to keep communicating with each other privately like this."
"It's fine if she's just a commoner, but Weiyang is a princess of a country. If this spreads out, how will it look like?"
Li Shui was stunned and said casually: "Fu Yao asked me to come to discuss publishing books."
Poppy asked: "Where is Fu Yao?"
Li Shui looked around and suddenly slapped his head: "Oops, I forgot Fu Yao in Shang Jun's Courtyard."
Poppy didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to him: "That's all, go ahead."
Li Shui responded and ran into the side hall.
Weiyang was reading inside, and there was a little maid waiting beside her.
When the little palace maid saw Li Shui coming, she immediately walked quietly to the door.
Li Shui's eyes lit up: "You are sensible."
When the little maid passed by him, he took out a piece of gold and gave it to the maid.
The palace maid smiled happily and walked faster.
Li Shui leaned over and asked with a dry smile: "What book is the princess reading?"
Wei Yang didn't even raise his head: "Book of Changes."
Li Shui groaned: "The Book of Changes? It is said that if you learn this book, you can become proficient in divination."
Weiyang hummed: "That's right. I just want to do divination."
Li Shui asked curiously: "What does the princess want to divine?"
Weiyang said: "Let us divine whether the banished immortal of this dynasty will die or live when he is fighting abroad."
Li Shui couldn't help but grin.
Princess Weiyang's tone and demeanor are clearly the standard template for later generations when couples quarrel.
Li Shui said with a bitter face: "Princess, the Peacock Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty. Although I sent a messenger, it was still very difficult to deliver the news. Therefore... It's not that I didn't report the safety on purpose. It's really..."
Li Shui gave a clear explanation, but Wei Young just said: "It's all excuses."
Li Shui: "..."
He suddenly remembered that it was useless to reason with women.
If Li Xin encountered this situation, he would probably be dumbfounded, but Li Shui was very calm and used a strategy: change the topic.
If you want to change the subject without being noticed by a woman, you have to make her forget about the awkward incident just now.
So Li Shui whispered: "Yesterday, General Li Xin persuaded me to get a wife."
Wei Young suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Shui in shock.
Li Shui was really happy that he had been fooled.
Li Shui sighed and said: "However, General Li is very worried. After all, I am young and promising, occupy a high position, and have made great achievements. Who among the women in the world can be worthy of me?"
"But he thought about it and found someone. So he came to ask my opinion."
Weiyang asked: "Who is it?"
She didn't notice that her voice changed a little when she asked this question.
Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "This person is you, princess."
Weiyang was stunned for a moment and suddenly blushed.
Li Shui said shamelessly: "I came to ask today. I don't know if the princess is happy or not. If she is happy, I will let Li Xin..."
Before he finished speaking, Weiyang pushed him hard and ran out.
Li Shui fell on the mat, a little confused: "Do you agree or disagree?"
…………
Li Shui stayed in the palace for a while, and then left the palace to find Li Xin.
Now that the world is at peace, the surrounding enemy countries have been basically eliminated, and the scientific research of Shangjun Villa is on the right track.
Li Shui has taught them the correct scientific research methods. With the intelligence of Xiangli Zhu and his gang, they will surely be able to make rapid progress.
Li Shui felt that it was time for him to enjoy family happiness.
Well, life-long events need to be taken care of.
After arriving at Li Xin's house, Li Shui shamelessly explained his purpose.
Li Xin agreed wholeheartedly and made an appointment to take some time to help Li Shui as a matchmaker.
The two were chatting happily when Li Jia came in and said to Li Xin: "Master, another courtier is here."
Li Xin sighed: "Why are these cowards here again?"
Li Shui asked curiously: "Brother Li, what are you..."
Li Xin said helplessly: "Those insidious people who spread rumors behind the scenes don't dare to work in the Peacock Kingdom, so they come to me to receive a slap in the face."
Li Shui was even more surprised: "In that case, you can't beat them? Why are you so depressed?"
Li Xin showed her palms: "Look, I've been hitting people these days, so my hands are a little swollen."
Li Shui: "..."
He said helplessly: "Brother Li, next time you hit someone, you can use less force."
Li Xin shook his head: "I can't help it. After those adults paid the money, I will make them get value for their money, so that they feel that the trip is worthwhile."
Li Shui was shocked: "And... you still charge money?"
The courtier outside was about to arrive, so Li Shui hid behind the screen.
The courtier chatted with Li Xin for a while and finally bought the ultimate slap.
Li Shui was amazed when he heard this: This Li Xin is really a talent.
…………
Outside the government hall, all the ministers gathered.
In the past few days, Da Qin has continuously sent messengers to the Xiongnu and Peacock Kingdoms. As the news came, everyone gradually believed that these two countries were indeed destroyed.
The Peacock Kingdom has a large population, but it has been peaceful since it was conquered, and even now it has begun to pay taxes honestly.
As for the Xiongnu Kingdom, it has now been burned to ashes.
This place has no people, no gold, silver, and no food, so it is simply useless.
But through the news delivered by messengers, the courtiers discovered that there were a series of countries to the west of the Xiongnu Kingdom.
It is better to occupy the Xiongnu country and serve as an outpost. Once the Western countries change, they can calmly deal with it.
After all... although the houses in the Huns were burned down, the farmland could not be burned down. It was always possible to farm here.
According to the farming talents of the people of Great Qin, this place may only need three to five years to prosper again.
Therefore, Ying Zheng had already issued an immigration edict two days ago.
People who moved to the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Western Regions, and the Peacock Kingdom could demarcate their own farmland. As long as it is cultivated for more than three years. This field belongs to the farmer.
If a slave wants to go to the border to farm, the master cannot stop him. The slave must redeem himself within five years. If the money accumulated after five years is not enough to redeem the person, the land he occupies will belong to the owner.
On the day the edict was issued, countless beggars, tenant farmers, slaves, and even poor people with a few acres of poor farmland in the Qin Dynasty all rushed towards the border crazily.
This is a great opportunity. It only takes three years to become a landlord. Who wouldn't want to take a chance?
So during this time, people were everywhere going to the frontier.
Today, outside the government hall, many courtiers were discussing this matter.
However, what they talked about more was about Li Si.
Li Si's face was glowing today. He changed his usual decadence. When he saw the courtiers, he held his hands and smiled.
Li Shui looked at Li Si curiously: "Master Tingwei, are you taking any supplements? Why do you look so energetic and powerful, as if you are more than ten years younger?"
Li Si thought to himself: Why does Huaiguzi always sound weird when he talks?
Wang Wan smiled slightly and said to Li Shui: "I'm afraid you don't know about the banishment of the immortal, right? I am planning to help Mr. Tingwei's eldest son Li You as a matchmaker."
Li Shui said absently: "I wonder whose girl I am marrying?"
Wang Wan said: "It's Princess Weiyang."
Li Shui was stunned: "Princess Weiyang? Is Li You worthy of Princess Weiyang?"
Lis face suddenly changed.
He said very unhappily: "What does banishing immortals mean?"
Li Shui said: "That's what it means literally. Princess Weiyang is a hero among women, the number one among women in the world. She is the winner of the Exalted Immortal Literature Award. Where is Li You? How can he be so virtuous as to be able to compete with the princess?"
Li Si's face turned livid with anger.
Li Shui patted Wang Wan on the shoulder: "Prime Minister, don't ask for trouble. It's better not to keep this matchmaker safe."
Wang Wan also turned pale with anger.
The surrounding courtiers were all whispering to each other.
At first, they thought there was nothing wrong with Wang Wan and Li Si's plan.
The prime minister acted as a matchmaker, and Lord Tingwei's eldest son married the princess. This is great, they are a perfect match and a good story.
But now listening to what the banished immortal said... Li You seems to be really not worthy of Princess Weiyang.
Just when Li Si was about to retort, the door of the Council Hall opened and hundreds of officials walked in.
Ying Zheng seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his face.
After all... there was a bumper harvest of food, and the people no longer had to worry about going hungry. However, foreign aggression has been eliminated, and the country of Daqin has become more and more stable.
In the past, Ying Zheng said that Da Qin would be passed on to all generations, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but now he completely believes it.
What's even more gratifying is that Shangjun's research on immortality is said to be able to bring dead frogs back to life for a short time. In Ying Zheng's view, this is already a huge improvement.
It seems that Huaiguzi is not lying. He has been studying ways to live forever.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The prosperous age, this is the prosperous age.
He looked at the civil and military ministers and said calmly: "A few days ago, Huaiguzi and Li Xin defeated the Peacock and Xiongnu countries without losing a single soldier. This is an unparalleled feat. You all think that I should give What kind of reward are they?"
These courtiers were in a mess. Some said they wanted to reward thousands of hectares of fertile land, some wanted to reward thousands of taels of gold, and some wanted to reward countless beauties.
In fact, these suggestions are all nonsense. Li Shui and Li Xin have done too much credit, and the more they look at this reward, the more stingy they feel.
Li Si, Wang Wan and other important ministers did not speak.
They suddenly discovered that although Li Shui and Li Xin had made extraordinary achievements, they also fell into a dilemma.
The two of them have run out of rewards.
If you really want a reward, I'm afraid the only thing left is to be crowned king. And it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to be crowned king. In fact, he will be afraid of the two of them from now on.
"The decline of prosperity is self-destruction." Wang Wan thought secretly in her heart.
He suddenly realized that it was really unnecessary for him to think hard about bringing down Li Xin and Huai Guzi. These two people had almost pushed him to a dead end.
Ying Zheng listened to the suggestions of the ministers, and became more and more impatient.
Finally he looked at Li Shui: "Huaiguzi, what do you want?"
Li Shui said shyly: "I'm sorry to say it. Let General Li Xin speak first."
Ministers: "..."
Is this shameless person still embarrassed?
Ying Zheng also found it funny, but he still looked at Li Xin: "What do you want?"
Li Xin also said shyly: "What I want is the same as what I wanted to banish the immortal."
Ministers: "..."
Ying Zheng was speechless. Are these two people here to make fun of them?
He glared at Li Xin: "Speak directly."
Li Xin laughed dryly: "Um... I want a gold medal to avoid death."
Ying Zheng: "..."
courtier:"……"
Li Xin said with emotion: "With this golden medal of immunity from death, I no longer have to worry about being bullied by the courtiers. I am really... very envious of you."
Ying Zheng said helplessly: "Even if you don't have this death-free gold medal, I don't think anyone would dare to bully you."
But having said that, Ying Zheng still ordered the young eunuch beside him: "Go and pass the order to make a death-free gold medal for Li Xin. The shape is the same as that of Huai Guzi."
The young eunuch responded and went to deliver the order.
Ying Zheng said that the shape is the same as that of Huaiguzi, which means that the final right of interpretation belongs to the emperor.
Therefore, this death-free gold medal is not to restrict the emperor, but to scare the officials.
However, even so, Li Xin was extremely satisfied.
After settling Li Xin's matter, Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, what do you want?"
Li Shui said shyly: "Let General Li speak for me."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Brother Huai, what do you want?"
Li Shui: "..."
He leaned over and said a few words in Li Xin's ear, and Li Xin made a look of realization.
The ministers all shook their heads: these two people were just like clowns.
However, Ying Zheng was very satisfied with it and thought: It's rare, it's rare. These two people have made such great achievements, but they are still laughing and cursing like before, and they don't have a big city. If all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were such sincere people, I would be much more relieved.
Li Xin coughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the banished immortal wants me to help him secure a matchmaker."
Ying Zheng asked doubtfully: "Protect the media?"
Li Xin said: "Yes, Ban Xian wants to marry a girl, and this is what he wants."
Ying Zheng was happy and couldn't help but say: "You two really have no ambitions."
The courtiers also looked at these two idiots with smiles.
Only Li Si felt a thump in his heart and had a bad feeling.
