Cao Xiu thought these two thugs were ridiculous.
Indeed, Qin Shihuang also worked harder than ordinary people. After all, he is the emperor, and he has to care about the world and handle the government affairs of the country. It is said that one hundred and twenty kilograms of bamboo slips are batched every day, and there will be no rest until the batch is finished.
During this eastward tour to Fengchan, he did not rest. The road was bumpy, and sitting on the carriage was a thrill. But he was still as steady as a mountain, reviewing bamboo slips and handling government affairs.
Rights and responsibilities are equal. He enjoys supreme rights and naturally has to shoulder responsibilities that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Compared with Qianshou, the First Emperor was already quite happy. The head of Guizhou works as a cow or a horse and cannot even eat meat for a few times a year. He goes out early in the morning and comes home late to work hard. He has to do corvee every year, but he is as humble as dust and grass!
"Why, don't say anything anymore? Okay, I feel that my words have touched your souls. I won't say more, and get to work quickly."
"..."
"..."
Seeing Cao Xiu leaving confidently, Qin Shihuang didn't recover for a long time. Wang Jian stood there with his mouth open, and for a long time, two words came out, "Xiu'er!"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Um."
"This son...should not be a rebel." Wang Jian whispered from the side: "Although he is a bit weird, he should be a good official. As for this potato..."
"Old Master, there is no need to say more."
Qin Shihuang waved his hand.
He was ready to find an opportunity to try Cao Xiu again.
"If he is really a rebel, it might be a good thing!"
"Um...what do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment. Wasn't the emperor fainted from anger? If Cao Xiu was really a traitor, then the two of them would have fallen into the wolf's den. Don't talk about returning to Xianyang to take power, maybe even your life will be at stake here!
"Old Master, don't be anxious." Qin Shihuang turned around with his hands behind his back, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "You and I are actually very safe as we are now. Even if I say it, no one will believe that I am the emperor."
Even now, Cao Xiu doesn't believe them.
"After the Qi Dynasty was destroyed, remnants from all over the country fled in all directions. The Qu Jingzhao clan of Chu State, the Zhang family of Yingchuan, the Tian family of Qi, and the Zhao family of Zhao... they were hiding in secret, waiting for opportunities."
"indeed."
Wang Jian nodded in agreement.
These rebels are slipperier than loaches!
Some even changed their names and surnames and turned them into Qianshou. As long as they don't tell themselves, it's impossible to catch them. The son of the former Korean Prime Minister Zhang Ping was still on the run, but he had not been caught for so many years.
They are Qin's hidden danger!
"If Cao Xiu is really a rebel, maybe we can use his hands to find out about the other bandits. Then I will be able to catch them all, wouldn't it be great?!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"And..." Qin Shihuang paused and said with great confidence: "Even if he is a rebel, I can instigate him to rebel and use him for my use. In the past, Shi Teng was a Han minister, but later he not only worked for me, but also personally Destroy Han and capture the King of Han safely into Xianyang for me. If he really doesn’t obey, then kill him!"
"hiss……"
The emperor is the emperor, this brain circuit is very novel!
However, Qin Shihuang was such a person.
For example, take the former hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo. Qin Shihuang clearly knew that he was a traitor to the Han Dynasty, but he still allowed him to build canals because he could bring eternal benefits to the Qin State. After he succeeded, he was made a king and served as the water chief of the capital, in charge of the world's water conservancy!
Besides, there are ministers from various countries in the court. Needless to say, Prime Minister Zuo Li Si was originally from Chu. The right prime minister, Feng Quji, was descended from Feng Ting, a Korean. The two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were originally from the Qi State... If Cao Xiu could be instigated to rebel and help Qin, Qin Shihuang could make an exception and not pursue the case.
"Stop being lazy here and get to work!"
Cao Xiu urged her life again like a ghost.
…
…
A few days later.
"Xiu'er, it's not good!"
"Prisoner Cao is coming to see you today to handle government affairs!"
Cao Xiu, who was reading a book, suddenly shook his body!
Looking at the young man coming, he was shocked. The young man has a sword on his waist, leather armor, and a trapezoidal plate crown on his head. He has a short beard and is strong.
He is Ren Ao, the county jailer. He is extremely loyal and has a good relationship with Liu Ji. When Liu Ji participated in the Qin official assessment, he relied on the Qinlu bamboo slips borrowed by Ren Ao. As a jailer, his immediate superior was Cao Shen, Cao Xiu's cousin.
Cao Xiu is naturally not afraid of Ren Ao.
He is afraid of Cao Shen!
Fortunately, this is not the first time.
"Let's go to Zhongyangli now. Cao'er, go and inform the others so that they can get ready. Thank you Renjun for informing us in advance, otherwise I will definitely be scolded again today."
"Um?"
Qin Shihuang also walked out at this time.
Looking at Cao Xiu running away as if he had seen a ghost, his face was filled with curiosity. Who is this Cao Shen, that he can make a tough guy like Cao Xiu so frightened?
It’s interesting, so he’s not allowed to go see it?
…
…
In Zhongyangli, under the locust tree.
Old Mrs. Liu was sitting in the middle, leaning on a cane.
Cao Xiu was holding a three-foot wooden slip and was arranging tasks.
In fact, he is not afraid of Cao Shen, he is simply like an elder brother and a father. Even though he is just a cousin, Cao Shen pays special attention to him and will give him a good lecture whenever he sees him. This said, at least it took a while. According to Cao Shen, he had to live ten years shorter because of Cao Xiu!
He is now like a school leader who is coming to inspect, so he cleans up in advance and then arranges some actors. If the leader is happy in this way, his life will be easier.
"Ahem, you are all veteran actors. You all know what to say and what to ask. When Cao Yuan comes, you should perform as usual. If he wants to ask you, you should follow the lines. As long as you perform well, you will get extra in the lunch box. drumstick!"
"It all depends on the director of the pavilion."
Old Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement.
Although he could only understand half of the words, it didn't matter. Cao Xiu would come here every now and then, and Cao Xiu would give them some benefits after Cao Shen left. Hello, I’m hello, everyone, why not?
"Young Master, the jailer is here."
"Okay, all departments are in place!"
Cao Xiu's face was full of seriousness, and he held the Qinlu bamboo slip in his left hand. He also woke up and dressed up, even wearing the trapezoidal plate crown that he usually didn't like to wear.
Guan, the general name of Benmian.
At the same time, different crowns are also symbols of title. For example, the trapezoidal crown is actually a symbol of the fourth-level non-renewable title. The front end of the crown is folded inward and pressed against the head by the hairband. There is a small triangular chamber at the end of the crown that is folded downward, with both sides sealed. The width at the bottom is slightly wider than the bottom of the upper board. It is slightly trapezoidal when viewed from the back, and the vertebral bun is on these three sides. Prismatic small interior.
Cao Xiu really didn't like wearing it because it was too troublesome. It's just that this time Cao Shen came to inspect, he must look good, otherwise he will be scolded again.
Not long after, several people came from the path.
In addition to Xiao He, there was also a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has a short sagittal beard and is extremely tall, nine feet tall. Wearing black brocade clothes, a double-plate long crown on his head and a black tassel under his chin. Different from Xiao He's gentleness, it was replaced by a sense of oppression!
"Xiu'er, are you reading the order here again?"
Cao Shen looked at Cao Xiu with a rare smile.
