Because Liu Bang and others saved Qi Ji, they offended Ying Rong's grandson Ying Hao, and were hunted down by Ying Hao's people.
Xiao He and Chen Ping were taken to Yongcheng Prison by Han Xin.
It is obvious that history is no longer the same history.
Ever since Zhao Hao traveled to this world, history has been quietly changing.
So, if history changes, will historical figures change?
The answer is yes.
Because historical figures in the long history will be affected by the historical environment.
For example, Xiang Yu.
According to normal historical development, he would not emerge until the end of Qin Dynasty.
But because of the arrival of Zhao Hao, his history turned a turning point and went another way.
If you use the original history to look at what is happening now, you will easily become confused.
Another example is Zhao Hao at this moment. Everything he does now will become new history.
In other words, he can no longer predict the future.
For a time traveler, predicting the future is the biggest golden finger.
If you cannot predict the future, you will have to figure out how to solve what is happening now.
"Sir, Ying Chang, the commander of Yongcheng, wants to see you!"
Zhao Hao, who was designing the new terracotta warriors and horses in his study, suddenly heard the report from Wuya outside the door. He couldn't help but was slightly startled. He immediately put down the brush in his hand and asked in confusion: "Why did the Yongcheng order come to visit late at night?"
"It is said that I learned that you are leaving tomorrow and wanted to meet you."
"That's it?"
Zhao Hao was a little speechless, but the other party was also a member of the royal family, so he could not avoid seeing him, so he hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Let him come in."
"promise."
Wuya promised
I saw Ying Chang holding a box and walking in from the door with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty Yongcheng has met the young master!"
Ying Chang bowed respectfully to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to be polite, and then asked curiously: "I wonder why Yongcheng ordered me to see my son?"
"It's nothing."
Ying Chang put down the box and replied with a smile, "On that day when the ancestral temple was offering sacrifices to heaven, I was impressed by the young master's aura for the first time. Because His Majesty was present, there was not much communication. Today I heard that the young master is going back to Xianyang, so I came here to see him. See."
"momentum?"
A strange smile appeared on Zhao Hao's face, and he said calmly, "But how did I hear that you had suggested that my father should bury me as a sacrifice?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and even Wu Ya behind him couldn't help but glance at Ying Chang.
This old guy’s motives are not pure!
Zhao Hao was not surprised at all.
The so-called no matter what, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall.
Ying Chang and Ying Rong were of the same kind, both wanting to plot against their father through the burial.
It's a pity that his father didn't agree with them at all, and eventually even the "sacrificial burial system" was abolished.
Now that his father had just visited the east, Ying Chang came to visit him. He must have an ulterior motive.
"Hehehe."
After a brief silence, Ying Chang chuckled a few times and broke the deadlock: "Young Master misunderstood... Those are all rumors. Even if we support human burial, we dare not suggest that Your Majesty allow Young Master to be buried alive;
Besides, living burial has been abolished by Your Majesty, and this matter has been closed. We raise this matter to share your Majesty's worries. After all, the Lishan Mausoleum is related to the fate of our country, the Qin Dynasty...
After all, Great Qin is the foundation of our Ying Qin royal family. As a member of the Ying Qin royal family, I naturally have to do my best. "
It was obviously a high-sounding excuse, but when it came out of Ying Chang's mouth, it was somewhat credible.
At least Zhao Hao couldn't find anything to hold on to, so he could only say calmly: "Even so, you should not listen to the rebels... Stay away from Tang Ju in the future, lest the ministers of the DPRK impeach you for colluding with the rebels. sin!"
"yes."
Ying Changchai
He nodded like a smile, bowed and said, "Young Master taught me a lesson that Ying Chang will bear in mind."
I wipe it!
Why are you so obedient?
What kind of medicine is this old guy selling in his gourd?
Zhao Hao was greatly surprised, but he looked at the box that Ying Chang brought with a dull expression on his face and said, "What's in this box?"
"oh."
Ying Chang suddenly came to his senses and immediately explained to Zhao Hao with a smile: "Sir, this is a gift I specially selected for you. I hope you like it."
"A gift specially chosen for me?"
Zhao Hao was stunned, becoming more and more confused.
But Ying Chang didn't explain much, he just opened the box carefully, revealing a crystal clear cup.
Zhao Hao took a closer look and was instantly attracted to the cup.
It's not that this cup is very beautiful, but the shape and material of this cup are very similar to a cup he saw in his previous life.
"this...."
Zhao Hao said in surprise: "Is this cup made of crystal?"
"Oh? Master, do you know this thing?"
"Uh... I've heard a little bit about it."
"hehe, not bad."
Ying Chang smiled and nodded: "This is indeed a rare crystal cup in the world, priceless..."
Sure enough, this cup is really a Warring States crystal cup.
However, why did Ying Zhang give him this priceless cup?
Could it be that something is troubling me?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao slowly looked back at the cup and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, you can just say it. Why do you need to do this?"
"hehe."
Hearing Zhao Hao call him "uncle", Ying Chang felt happy. In terms of seniority, he was indeed worthy of being Zhao Hao's uncle, but he couldn't call himself Zhao Hao's uncle because he The royal family is a branch of Ying Qin.
There is a huge difference from the direct lineage of Zhao Hao.
"As I said just now, when I first met the young master, I felt that the young master is extraordinary and will definitely achieve great achievements in the future."
Ying Chang glanced at Zhao Hao and said with a smile, "To be honest, Young Master, we are all waiting for you. When we first heard about your deeds, we were all amazed that you were a man of heaven and the true blessing of our Great Qin;
You must also know that the Ying Qin Royal Family has made some mistakes and is not favored by His Majesty, but this world belongs to the Ying Qin Royal Family after all, and we also want to do our best for this world;
I am asking to see you today for no other reason than to give us a chance to help you achieve great things..."
Hearing Ying Chang's frank words, Zhao Hao felt a little numb.
At this time, Ying Chang made a rather bold emotion, which made him even more stunned.
"Your Majesty has always been very lucky, but there is only one thing...that is, his vision was a bit wrong, and he misjudged the people around him."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh quietly.
"......"
Zhao Hao looked at Ying Chang speechlessly.
Although he knew that the people around him that Ying Chang mentioned were not any of Zhao Gao, Hu Hai, and Li Si, but the Ying Qin royal family.
But he had to admit that Ying Zheng's vision was indeed a bit poor.
Let’s not talk about how Zhao Gao and the others destroyed the Qin State, let’s talk about Ying Zheng’s choice, which is actually problematic.
As we all know, the rise of Qin should have started with Qin Xiangong, the father of Qin Xiaogong.
At that time, there were two important forces in the Qin court.
One is from the Ying Qin clan and the other is from the Lao family.
It is easy to understand that the Ying Qin clan is the king's family.
The old aristocratic family is a powerful family that monopolizes official positions.
However, between these two forces, there is also a very small force, namely foreigners.
The so-called foreigners are people from the six countries.
But because their power is very small
, most of the time it doesn’t work.
The person who changed this situation was Qin Xiaogong.
It was Qin Xiaogong who recruited Shang Yang and others, presided over Shang Yang's reform, and changed the Qin State.
An important aspect of the reform was to abolish the hereditary privileges of the nobility and advocate military merit rewards.
This article severely dealt a blow to the Ying Qin clan and the old family, making it impossible for them to benefit from their bloodline, and paving the way for talents from the Six Kingdoms to enter Qin.
It was not until Shang Yang was framed and killed that the Qin State formed a three-legged situation in which the Qin clan, the old aristocratic family, and foreigners were the three pillars of victory.
And it was precisely because of the three-legged confrontation that Qin began to prosper, and there was a faint hope of going east.
However, the good times did not last long.
During the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang, because King Qin Zhaoxiang was young, his mother, the Queen Mother Xuan, controlled the government and reused her relatives, which caused the power of the Qin State to fall to the side and formed a fourth force.
Although King Qin Zhaoxiang took back this power in his later years, the "tradition" of relatives participating in politics was not broken.
When Ying Zheng first came to the throne, it was precisely because of Zhao Ji's interference in politics and Lu Buwei's monopoly of power that he was unable to move forward.
However, the Qin clan at this time was no longer the clan that Qin Zhaoxiang absolutely occupied in the late period.
In particular, the Huayang Empress Dowager's Palace Incident and the Laodu Rebellion all occurred in the capital of Xianyang, making it difficult not to doubt them.
Therefore, foreign relatives, old family members, foreign guests, including Ying Zheng, are all working together to suppress the clan.
It was not until Qin II Hu Hai came to the throne and massacred Ying Zheng's children that the clan completely withdrew from the Qin court.
So, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the clan to withdraw from the Qin court?
In fact, during the period when Qin was crown prince, the quality of the clan had been confirmed.
At that time, Qin Chugong's mother was involved in politics. Wei general Wu Qi led 50,000 Wei soldiers to defeat Qin's 500,000 army. At the critical moment when Qin was on the verge of destruction, the clan led the clan forces to drive away Qin Chugong, mother and son, and welcomed Qin Chugong and his mother. He established Duke Xiang of Qin to stabilize the situation.
Only then did the Qin State Fen six generations of remaining warriors swallow up the princes for two weeks.
It can be seen that it is not a good thing for the clan to withdraw from the court.
Although there are many reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the lack of clan members and no successors is a big problem.
Shang Yang eliminated the nobles. In order to strengthen the royal power, all the Qin kings in the past dynasties took it upon themselves to weaken the clan.
Some even did not care about the life and death of the clan, so that at the end of Qin the world was in chaos, and there was not even a clan that took the lead in "restoring Qin".
When the other six kingdoms were destroyed, the remnants of the six kingdoms rebelled.
Perhaps based on the lessons of the Qin Dynasty, later dynasties will basically seal their descendants to avoid the tragedy of the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, this does not mean that reusing the clan can prevent the country from being destroyed.
Just abandoning the clan is not a wise choice.
"The emperor said he wanted to help me accomplish something, can you be more specific?"
Zhao Hao came back from his silence and asked meaningfully.
Ying Chang smiled, shook his head and said, "There's no rush. When the young master sits in that position, we will have a place for us."
Now that Ying Zheng is in power, even if they have the ambition to help Zhao Hao, they can only help in secret, otherwise they will definitely not get any good results if Ying Zheng finds out.
However, when Zhao Hao heard Ying Chang say "that location", his expression suddenly dropped. But at this moment, a warning came from outside the door again: "Master Qi, there is a fire in the city, and it seems that there are assassins making trouble." !」
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ying Chang.
Ying Chang was also stunned on the spot. He took a few breaths before coming back to his senses. He raised his hands to Zhao Hao and said, "Young Master, please be at ease. I will deal with it now!"
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.
But Zhao Hao suddenly stopped him: "Uncle, wait a moment, I'll go with you!"
"Young master, you must not..."
Ying Chang was distraught and quickly tried to stop Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao waved his hand without any doubt: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, this is not the first time that this young master has been involved in danger!"
After saying that, he immediately went to court
Ya ordered: "Second senior brother, inform Han Xin and immediately send troops to suppress the assassins. Inform Mondstadt and dispatch water trucks to put out the fire. Don't disturb the people in the city!"
.......
the other side.
Xiao He and Chen Ping have been indifferent since they were put into a cell by Han Xin.
At this time, Chen Ping was pacing back and forth in the cell very uneasily, worried about this and that.
Xiao He, on the other hand, closed his eyes and rested his mind, acting as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Xiao, do you think Han Xin can handle the situation impartially?"
Just when Xiao He was about to fall asleep, Chen Ping suddenly stopped and asked him anxiously.
When Xiao He heard this, he couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead and said feebly: "You've asked me several times, can you please calm down..."
From the first time he met Han Xin and was shocked by Han Xin's identity, to when Han Xin put them in a cell and ignored them.
Then think of the owner of the bookstore.
Xiao He quickly guessed that Han Xin was Zhao Hao's man.
Because with Han Xin's age and merit, it is impossible to sit in such a high position.
Unless Zhao Hao takes it seriously...
If Zhao Hao has a good vision, then Han Xin is definitely a person of good character. At least they won't avenge themselves publicly and torture them indiscriminately.
If Zhao Hao's vision is bad, it means that he really shouldn't go to him.
It's funny to say that Xiao He clearly didn't want to defect to Zhao Hao, but he pinned his hopes on Zhao Hao's vision of employing people.
"I don't know what happened to Liu Ji and the others. Are they looking for me..."
Seeing Chen Ping being rendered speechless by himself, Xiao He sighed helplessly.
The reason why he left Liu Bang and went to the bookstore alone at that time was because he wanted to know more about Zhao Hao and let Liu Bang make a careful choice.
After all, Liu Bang's character is there, and it is easy to be misled by appearances.
But he never thought that he would be thrown into a cell by Zhao Hao's people.
"Brother Xiao, someone is coming."
Just when Xiao He was deep in thought, Chen Ping's voice sounded again.
But a warrior suddenly pushed open the door and walked slowly towards the two of them.
Xiao He quickly stood up and saluted the warrior.
The warrior smiled and said: "No need to be polite, I am just a guard beside General Han. General Han asked me to tell you that for your first offense, you will not be held accountable, but if you commit the next time, you will not be lenient."
"this...."
Xiao He and Chen Ping looked at each other, their faces filled with joy.
But the warrior said again: "General Han also said that the Qin Dynasty is at a time when it is employing people. If you are willing to serve the court, you can go to Xianyang with him and take the examination. If you have no intention of an official career, it is best to leave Yongcheng as soon as possible!"
Xiao He: "..."
Chen Ping: "..."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Xiao He couldn't hold it back and took the lead in saying, "May I ask the superior, when can we leave?"
"It's getting dark outside now. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the city. The sales will be completed tomorrow. If nothing else happens, I can leave the city in the afternoon. Someone will notify you by then."
"Okay, thank you sir."
"You're welcome."
The warrior smiled, waved his hand, and left the cell.
After the cell door was closed again, Chen Ping whispered to Xiao He: "This Han Xin looks pretty good!"
"Well, it's really good."
Xiao He smiled and nodded.
From this point of view, this Young Master Hao also has a very good vision.
