"What's going on, Marquis Tongwu?"
Li Si looked at Wang Ben in confusion.
It's just a portrait, why is it so?
Wang Ben is a general who has been fighting for many years and is used to life and death. When the dikes burst and flooded the beams, countless people died at his hands. How could he be so out of character because of the secondary portrait?
He picked up the silk on the ground.
When he saw the portrait, he was also stunned.
"This...this...this..."
"Is this your Majesty?!"
This is the young emperor!
Li Si's face was full of bewilderment. He believed that this was definitely not deceived by the magistrate of Dongwu County, because this person had never seen the emperor when he was young.
Besides, he doesn’t have the guts!
Wang Ben is a veteran of the Qin State. He was already a general before Qin Shihuang returned to Qin and entered Xianyang, so he can naturally recognize him at a glance. Li Si, on the other hand, joined the Qin Dynasty as an official in his early years. At that time, Qin Shihuang had not yet come to power, so he naturally recognized him.
"This child has some similarities with me!"
Wang Ben took out another painting and stared at it.
"This painting...could it be fake?"
"It shouldn't be possible."
Li Si shook his head, then lowered his voice and said: "However, to be on the safe side, you can order someone to take the painting to secretly ask the soldiers of Si County in Tobu County. In addition, you can also ask if anyone in Tobu County has seen them."
"good!"
Wang Ben nodded in approval.
“Whether it’s true or false, we must find it!”
It doesn't matter whether the portrait is true or false. What's important is that this black bird jade pendant appeared in Dongwu County. They are now looking for people around Langya County and have not continued to expand their search to the south.
Now... they finally have a clue.
Then, Wang Ben hurriedly took the silk and left. He also had to have people print the portraits and arrange manpower at the same time. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to find these two little brats!
However, this still has to be done secretly.
You know, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are always at odds with Qin. If they put up notices in a big way to find someone, the remnants of the Six Nations will definitely take action. If the clues are cut off and the emperor is implicated, they will never be able to atone for their sins!
Although the past two years have been stable, it is only superficial. Just like Qi was the last country to be destroyed, many remnants of the Six Kingdoms fled to Qi to hide. The First Emperor also brought the two sharp swords of Wang Jian and his son on this high-profile eastward tour. In fact, it was a disguised display of national prestige and at the same time intimidating them.
Li Si put down the pottery bowl, thinking a lot.
Fortunately, there is hope now.
Your Majesty has the merits of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, so he will be fine!
…
…
"Ah sneeze..."
Qin Shihuang rubbed his nose.
Maybe I caught a cold in the shower last night!
"Work hard and don't be lazy."
Cao Xiu's urging voice sounded, and Qin Shihuang had no choice but to continue waving the water ladle to slowly water the water. There has been no rainfall in Peixian County for ten months. In order to ensure the growth of potatoes, watering can only be done manually. Don't water it too much, otherwise it will drown.
After working for a day, Qin Shihuang was used to it.
He wouldn't mind doing some farm work.
As long as I can go back, it's all worth it.
"Xiu'er, do you want to go to Xianyang?"
"Why go to Xianyang?"
Cao Xiu wore a straw hat and gnawed on peaches, sitting comfortably next to him. Directing Ah Zheng and Xiao Wang to work, the days were quite exciting.
Azheng and Xiao Wang have a long history, but their personalities are extremely stubborn, like fierce horses that are difficult to tame. In order to subdue these two fierce horses, he naturally had to use some means. Letting them do farm work is purely to train their obedience and save them trouble in the future.
"Become a Marquis to the Prime Minister!"
"puff……"
Cao Xiu squirted out all the water.
Qin Shihuang put his hands on his hips, took a moment to rest and said: "It is said that the virtuous and unworthy of people are like rats, it depends on where you are! With your ability, you can go to Xianyang, and you will definitely be able to do more."
"I think you want to eat shit."
"Don't be joking, be serious!"
"You're seriously kidding me."
Cao Xiu replied angrily.
He still knew how much he weighed. Everyone in Xianyang is an old fox who eats people without spitting out their bones, especially people like Li Si and Zhao Gao. He wanted to go over and deal with these people, and he might be chopped off one day just because he entered the door with his left foot first.
In terms of knowledge, he, as a time traveler, is naturally better than the ancients. But when it comes to the scheming government, it's better not to humiliate himself because of his stupidity. If he really had this ability, he wouldn't have been just a small village official who went to the countryside to help the poor in his previous life.
Besides, how can Xianyang be so comfortable?
"This means that the prime minister must be from the state department, and the fierce generals must be from the soldiers. In our Qin Dynasty, those who have meritorious service must be rewarded, and the more they will be promoted, the more they will be promoted; if they are moved to the next level, the more powerful they will be, the more governance they will have."
Qin Shihuang spoke loudly, showing a sense of pride.
He and Wang Jian had discussed it last night. Want to return to Xianyang, hope lies in Cao Xiu. It's okay if Cao Xiu doesn't want to go. As long as this guy gets promoted all the way up, why are he afraid that he won't be able to go to Xianyang? Set a small goal first: be the county magistrate for half a year and the county guard for one year. With the help of him and Wang Jian, Cao Xiu will have a smooth journey in the officialdom!
The more they thought about it last night, the more excited they became.
As a result... I didn't sleep the whole night.
"I finally understand."
"You...you understand everything?"
Qin Shihuang immediately stood up excitedly, and even Wang Jian was shocked. The emperor is worthy of being an emperor, and he can even explain things to a pervert like Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu took out a bamboo pole silently.
"I think you two just want to be lazy and deserve a beating!"
"..."
"..."
Qin Shihuang stared and turned to stone again.
Why is Cao Xiu's brain circuit so novel?
"Xiu'er...you..."
"Hurry up and get to work. If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"
"How dare you, Shuzi?"
"Do you think I dare?"
As the saying goes, endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. Wang Jian consciously lowered his bottom line, and silently razed all the Cao Xiu clan.
Qin Shihuang picked up the water ladle and continued to water.
He did not give up and continued to exhort.
"You are now the chief of the Sishui Pavilion, but you are just fighting for food with a small official. But since you are familiar with Xiao He, as long as you do more political achievements, you will definitely be able to reach a high position. Since you are a Qin official, do you just want to be a mere mediocre official? Pavilion chief?"
"What you said makes sense."
"As long as you understand."
"It's just that I don't listen."
"..."
Qin Shihuang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
When he returns to take power, he must kill Cao Xiu!
"You little brat, go ahead and play, don't mess with my affairs." Cao Xiu patted his butt and stood up, saying calmly: "Work hard and don't think about these messy things."
Do you really think he is a Qin official?
This level of status is just convenient for him to do things. It is not difficult for Cao Xiuzhen to get promoted to an official position, but wouldn't this be a disguised way of extending the life of Qin? He is still waiting for the First Emperor to burp his ass and start an uprising in Pei County to do great things!
"Young Master!"
At this time, Cao'er came closer.
"What?"
"Old Madam Liu came to visit and brought Liu Ji with him."
"Oh?" Cao Xiu smiled immediately after hearing this, "He came to my door before I even went to find him. Not to mention, they are quite well informed. Let's go, I want to see what they have to say! "
