Slavery conveys Xiang Gong’s orders.
"Hu Hai?" Your Excellency was shocked when he heard this. "Young Master Hu Hai is a person your Majesty has abandoned. How can you appoint him as the crown prince? Let alone your Majesty, he will not agree, and the clan will not agree."
Nu Nu said: "Sir, have you ever thought about the fact that Ying Zheng's edict in the court today does not provide us with an opportunity? What's more, Ying Zheng's life is in danger and he may die at any time. He is in Shanglinyuan, so how can he care about the affairs of the court? "
"As for the clan, the main thing is to find people who are 'like-minded', so it's not impossible to solve the problem."
"Like-minded?" The master chewed on these words, "Does Duke Xiang still have someone in the clan?"
"You don't have to worry about this matter. You just need to convey Duke Xiang's wishes to that person, and you can come to an agreement."
"Of course, things are actually not as difficult as you think. Isn't this an opportunity now?"
"You mean Ying Zhao? Li Zhao?"
Li Zhaobian defeated Zhao and was ordered to supervise the country. This in itself caused dissatisfaction between the government and the public. What's more, Li Zhao was not lovable, which made people even more dissatisfied. He was the best breakthrough point.
"And the clan."
The adult nodded.
Li Bianying, who is not a person with the surname Zhao Ying, cannot be tolerated in the clan.
What does supervising the country mean? It means that the emperor may be partial to Li Zhao. For the clan, it means distrust of them. How could they allow such a thing to happen?
If Li Zhaozhen took control of the court, wouldn't Qin fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames?
"Shan, I will leave it to that person to mediate. It is not impossible for Young Master Hu Hai to become the crown prince."
Hu Hai has always been the prince, a person with the surname Zhao.
"And to prevent anyone from informing the North."
The north is where Fusu is currently stationed. If he is informed, he will rush back overnight, and it will be difficult to establish Hu Hai as the crown prince.
"good!"
The master left in a hurry, and he came to a relatively simple mansion. There was a person waiting for him inside. This person seemed to have foreseen his arrival.
When this person arrived, he immediately showed a very respectful attitude. He looked around and saw no one was around, so he bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the special envoy has been here, and I have obtained information from him."
"oh!"
This adult is of medium height, but slightly fat, with a rosy face. He must be used to being pampered.
"Does Mr. Xiang have any instructions?" He got straight to the point.
"Yes, do you want to establish Young Master Hu Hai as ********* Hai?"
The slightly fat Lord also showed a similar expression to this person, but did not say much, and waved his hand: "I understand, and I will reply to the special envoy. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
"No! Then let me go to see Zong Zheng?"
In order to establish Hu Hai as the crown prince, the clan must be able to communicate with each other. On this point, he thinks that the fat man also agrees.
"Well! Go! But don't get involved with me, otherwise..." The slightly fat adult made a gesture of wiping his neck. Of course, the adult understood the meaning and left quickly.
In Shanglin Garden, Li Zhao was lying on the bed. After a period of treatment, he improved quickly and left the hospital. He was able to walk freely. However, in order to recover faster, he still stayed in bed most of the time.
But just now I asked Shougou to invite Shang Xin, who wanted to ask some questions.
Shang Xin arrived soon. Li Zhao lay on the bed and saluted symbolically. Shang Xin returned the salute. After that, he stepped back and came to Li Zhao's side.
"General Li, what's the matter with Xin?"
This was a polite comment, but he actually expected to ask something. Of course, he came so quickly because he had something to talk to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao got straight to the point: "Last time, I bothered my father-in-law to mention the matter of Xianyang and Mangtang Mountain to your majesty. Can your majesty make arrangements?"
Shang Xin smiled awkwardly and said, "No."
"No?" Li Zhao was surprised. His Majesty did not make any arrangements for such a big event. This did not look like the suspicious Qin Shihuang at all. "Is your Majesty in good health?"
He heard Shogou say that there was news in Xianyang that His Majesty was dying, and he had just recovered from a serious illness and had not had time to visit and find out more.
"This." Shang Xin paused, but then became serious, "General Li, it's better not to ask. Xin can't answer."
Li Zhao heard what Shang Xin meant and didn't force it, but he was confused.
Shang Xin refused to say. Does that mean His Majesty is really ill? And it's serious? But it doesn’t make sense! He was obviously in good health when he entered the secret palace, and during this period of time, he was taught how to maintain his health. He had already taken good care of his body and was unlikely to get sick easily.
But it's hard to talk about people's bodies, so he didn't think much about it. Since Shang Xin didn't talk about it, there must be a reason.
"Also, His Majesty said that during this period, the general will prepare for the grand meeting and pay more attention to what you have reported. If there is no order, you cannot go to the secret palace."
This was what the emperor later told Shang Xin, and it was also the purpose of Shang Xin's coming here.
What's the meaning?
Li Zhao was shocked when he heard this.
If there is no imperial edict, you cannot go to the secret palace?
Pay more attention to what is reported? Isn't it because Xianyang has suspicions about Mangtang Mountain?
Why did His Majesty ask himself to pay attention to these things? Shouldn't he be the one paying attention? He is just a businessman.
Also, His Majesty is clearly in Shanglin Garden, why don't you let him go to see you?
This made Li Zhao very puzzled. After thinking about it, he had no clue, so he asked: "Did something big happen?"
At present, only major events will make His Majesty make such a decision.
"Is it true that General Li is still unknown? His Majesty has issued an edict that you will be sent back to the court to supervise the country in half a month."
"Return to the court to supervise the country?" Li Zhao was startled. He is a person with a foreign surname, why should he supervise the country? Doesn't this trap him in injustice?
Shang Xin seemed to understand Li Zhao's thoughts and said with a smile: "His Majesty mentioned in the edict that Ying Zhao from Shanglinyuan will supervise the country. Do you think this Ying Zhao is your general?"
What!
Li Zhao was at a loss for words. Can Shanglinyuan win against Zhao?
There is no such person in Shanglinyuan, and there is no such person among the officials in the government and the public. There is no crown prince in the Qin Dynasty, and the only people who can supervise the country are princes or important ministers, but there is no such person as Ying Zhao among the princes and important ministers.
The next moment, he was shocked. Li Zhao and Ying Zhao were both from Shanglinyuan. Could it be that Ying Zhao was really him?
Li Zhao had a ridiculous feeling. Suddenly, his mother A Fang came to mind, and the story about Qin Shihuang and A Fang having a son came to mind.
And he knew that he might be the one.
In other words, it is very likely that Qin Shihuang already knew about this.
"This" Li Zhao was stunned.
This does not mean that he is going to become a prince, so why does it take half a month to return to the country to supervise the country? Your Majesty is in the secret palace at the moment and is not allowed to be seen. Then there is no one in Xianyang to supervise the country. You should let yourself go to supervise the country as soon as possible!
However, he quickly thought of the event, and he had an idea that something might happen at the event, and it might be related to him.
"Forget it, don't think about these things for now. It's too much trouble. Some things will come naturally."
Wait, supervise the country?
According to Shangguan, if there is suspicion in Xianyang, wouldn't it be a big trouble for him to supervise the country?
He quickly asked: "Father, if you report something suspicious in Xianyang to your Majesty, how will your Majesty react?"
Shang Xin shook his head and said: "There was no response. I just said that I knew it, but there was no further explanation."
ah!
Li Zhao was confused. He didn't respond to such a big matter. What kind of medicine was being sold by His Majesty in the gourd?
His brows furrowed.
"As for the Mangtang Mountain incident, are there any troops stationed there?"
"Nothing, not even a word."
There was no response to either of the two major events. Li Zhao was directly confused, feeling that Qin Shihuang was really dying and had reached the point where his life was exhausted. But even so, there should be a response!
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"General Li, make arrangements as soon as possible! Please note that chaos has begun in Xianyang."
"Of course, His Majesty said that the two thousand elites can take orders from you from now on, and everything can be done easily."
After speaking, Shang Xin left, leaving Li Zhao deep in thought.
Xianyang is in chaos, should he make arrangements as soon as possible? What does it mean? Is this asking him to put an end to the chaos after half a month?
What does it mean to act cheaply? Does it mean that in order to quell the chaos, we can break the promise of banning thermal weapons?
But why did His Majesty ask him to do this? Just to get to know him?
It is a happy event for father and son to recognize each other. There is no need to go to such trouble. Could it be that he thought of two words: Crown Prince.
Your Majesty wants to test him.
He didn't dare to think about it again.
Fortunately, the two thousand elites were back in hand.
After he recovered a little from his injury, he asked Wu Quan to recall the thousand troops who had been dismissed by the deputy general. I heard that His Majesty also sent their equipment back from the secret palace.
At this moment, two thousand troops are gathered together, and they are all stationed not far from the secret palace in order to better protect His Majesty.
Just when he was lost in thought, his uncle walked in and saw him sitting up. He quickly held him down and helped him down.
"The doctor said that you are weak and need to lie down and rest."
Li Zhao was grateful for his uncle's concern for him, but he did not lie down.
"Uncle, it doesn't matter. My nephew is in much better health. He just needs to move around more and he will recover."
He still has some experience in this regard. He had been hospitalized in his previous life. The doctor told him that after recovery, patients need to move around more in order to recover quickly.
Li Jinong is not persistent either. After all, the medical clinic is run by his nephew and he is the one who trained the doctors. His words are the most authoritative regarding the condition.
"Forget it! Just move around more. As for how to organize the grand gathering, you can just ask your uncle to do it."
In this regard, he is still very considerate of his nephew.
"No need, the grand event has already been arranged, it just needs some consideration, but there are some things that I really need my uncle's help with."
"Oh! What's the matter? What my uncle can do, he will do his best."
"Let all the commercial banks in the six countries get active and recruit a large number of people. The remuneration should be high, triple it! And treat employees well and let them feel the taste and warmth of home."
The meaning is obvious, which is to improve the welfare of employees and let them treat the business as their own home.
This was a decision he had just made after deep thought. As for why, perhaps only he knew.
this?
Li Jinong was puzzled.
Now that the commercial bank is growing day by day, the expenses are astronomical. Especially the construction of Shanglinyuan is a bottomless pit. If more people are recruited, the remuneration will be increased three times. This is to dig into the bottom of the commercial bank.
"Also, have you met Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu?"
After Xiang Yu was sent out, he never saw him again. Xiang Liang was okay. I heard that he was rescued from Afang Palace by the head of Guizhou, but he was recovering from his injuries during this time and did not introduce them to his uncle.
"Of course I have seen them and know that they have been hired by you, Zhao'er."
When Li Jinong saw Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu coming to surrender, he was a little surprised, but after telling him the reason, he was relieved. His nephew's favorite thing was to recruit talents. He saw that the two talked well, and Xiang Yu looked good. He looked good, so he took him in.
"Shan, they are from Chu. Immediately send Gao Fugui to do business in Chu's merchant house. Let these two be responsible for recruiting people in Chu!"
"This?" Li Jinong wondered again, completely confused as to what his nephew was going to do.
Although the two Xiangs are extraordinary, they know nothing about business. It seems a bit childish to have them take charge of such an important matter all of a sudden.
He felt that his nephew was very strange today. He did some unrealistic things, but it was difficult to question him. At this moment, his nephew was too serious, so serious that no one dared to question him.
And it didn't seem like he was joking, so he reluctantly agreed, but his heart ached, as the firm's bottom line was really going to be poached.
Li Jinong really couldn't figure out what his nephew was going to do, so he sighed and went out to make arrangements, but was stopped.
"Uncle, have you ever seen Yin Man since that day?"
After he finished speaking, Li Zhao's expression showed some reluctance and some fear of asking.
For a month, even when he woke up, he didn't ask about Yinman's whereabouts, as if what happened that day didn't happen at all.
Only he knew that he was thinking about this subconsciously.
Li Jinong turned around and took a serious look at his nephew. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Zhao showed longing eyes, but tried his best to hide it.
"Do you love her?"
This question was asked so abruptly that Li Zhao didn't know how to answer it for a moment, but Li Jinong was serious and his expression was serious.
"You'd better answer me seriously, otherwise I can't say it."
When he was in Afang Palace, he fainted at that moment. He had no idea what happened next, but he vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone holding him and crying. He cried very sadly, and the tears were still dripping on his face, but it was hot. Cold.
Also, when he recalled the scene at that time, it was possible that Yin Man was his girlfriend Xiao Bai from his previous life, or that she had Xiao Bai's memory, otherwise it would be impossible for her to say things like 'Li Mo and Xiao Bai'.
He loves Xiaobai, but what about Yinman? He had an indescribable emotion, but he refused. He couldn't explain why he refused. Is it because they were brothers and sisters in this life? Or is it because Xiaobai still exists in his heart and cannot accommodate the second person.
"Forget it, don't mention the princess again from now on."
Li Jinong shook his head, and he saw the answer in Li Zhao's eyes.
"Fate is also a bad thing, so be careful about it."
The words disappeared as Li Jinong left, but they were deeply imprinted in Li Zhao's mind.
Do you love her?
Love? do not love? But why did you fight so hard to block that sword? Why did you break His Majesty's promise and use a murderous weapon?
If you don’t love me, why did you want to kill Zhang Liang like crazy when you saw Yin Man was seriously injured?
He was in chaos.
"I will visit you often in the future."
But I didn’t go often, it was just Ah Chao who did it for me.
"I'm here to fulfill my promise." But have you fulfilled your promise?
"When I think about you being in danger, I can't care so much."
She is willing to block the sword for herself, regardless of anything. Do you know her infatuation? Can you feel it?
"As long as you don't take any more risks, Yin Man will do it."
"I'm very happy to finally see you."
"Me too."
At this moment, everything about their relationship came to mind, and Li Zhao's already chaotic heart became even more chaotic.
Do I really not love it?
Why is Bu Ai so happy to see her, and why is he so desperate to see her in trouble?
Why was she the first person I thought of after recovering? And her whereabouts?
Is this concern? Or love?
Why did he feel so sad when he found out that he was the son of Afang and Ying Zheng, and why he abandoned himself for a long time?
Because I have her in my heart.
Isn't this love?
At this moment, he ran out, even though his injuries were not completely healed.
Due to excessive force, the wound hurt, but he didn't care, he endured it, he wanted to catch up with his uncle and tell him
"I love her, deeply."
I finally caught up with my uncle and said what I had been thinking about for a long time.
Li Jinong stopped walking, stood quietly for a few breaths, and finally turned around, looked at his nephew meaningfully, and said, "You have to think clearly, every word you say may It will cause fatal harm to the princess and also affect..."
He took a deep breath, "A lot of people."
Li Zhao did not hesitate at all and responded affirmatively: "It is very clear that my nephew loves the princess."
Li Jinong didn't know whether he was surprised or disappointed. He seemed to be very complicated inside, and he seemed to be making some difficult decisions.
"Even if you lose everything?"
"Yes, even if I lose everything." The answer was more affirmative and resolute.
However, Li Jinong was silent, terrifyingly silent, but his expression was so calm, terrifyingly calm.
In the end, he just said two words "it's too late" and an inexplicable word, and left without looking back.
"By the way, His Majesty has issued an edict to supervise the country and gave you the surname Ying. From now on, you are part of the royal family, but the Li family is always your family and must not be forgotten."
Li Zhao knew this, but why did he sense a sense of sadness?
