Ying Xuan sighed as he looked at the virtual panel that only he could see appeared in front of him.
This thing is all he relies on in this world.
Not caring about teasing the maid anymore, he waved his hand and pushed the little maid who was almost naked off the bed.
Under the resentful eyes of the other party, he even closed the bed curtains on both sides.
He turned to look at the virtual screen, which only contained a few lines of text.
"Change history and gain qualifications for ID card drawing."
“The more drastic the historical change, the more draws you get.”
"It has been detected that the host is now in the novice protection period. Other functions will be gradually opened after the host is strong enough."
[Host: Ying Xuan]
Hold an ID card:
Border soldiers: 20 pictures
Palace Guards: 2 pieces
Counselor: 1 piece
These identity cards are divided into three different areas, with their backs facing up like Yu-Gi-Oh!, and no information can be seen except for some mysterious patterns.
Seeing this, Ying Xuan couldn't help but complain.
Let's at least tell me who these cards represent, right?
Do I have to look for them one by one myself? The garbage system is really incompetent.
Speechless, Ying Xuan continued to look down.
There is also a dialog box below with a line of small words on the box.
"Here, you can publish information to people who have not opened their ID cards. Each message will cost you ten gold!"
When Ying Xuan saw this, he had a toothache. Are you waiting for me here?
Ten gold! You must know that as the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, Ying Xuan's monthly money is only less than a hundred Qin half taels, which is the value of a cow or a year's food and clothing for a family of three.
In this era, gold was not popular, and most of it only circulated in the upper class. Holding gold was more of a status symbol.
It is said that it is a thousand copper coins and one gold, but in fact, even if it is actually exchanged for a thousand coins, there is a high probability that no one will pay attention.
This is why Ying Xuan shamelessly approached General Meng Tian and asked for a street shop.
He also renovated it and named it Qu Pavilion.
No way, it's all about money. Without money, there is no way to communicate with subordinates.
Unable to communicate, Ying Xuan didn’t even know the other person’s name and identity.
Isn’t this system useless?
Unexpectedly, Ying Xuan had traveled through time and became the son of an emperor through the ages, and he was still worried about money.
He gritted his teeth and deceived the people from the Yue clan just this morning...
Uh-huh! I took out the ten gold coins in exchange.
As soon as I took it out, I saw the dialog box light up.
Then the ten gold coins in his hand disappeared out of thin air.
Ying Xuan clicked on the counselor column, selected the only identity card, and tried to say something.
"Come to Quge to find me as quickly as possible. When you arrive, it will be clear that you are here to apply for the position of shopkeeper!"
Why is it so straightforward? Of course it's because the phone bill is too expensive. Ying Xuan doesn't want to find out after a few polite words that he needs to spend ten more gold.
After he paused for two seconds after he finished speaking, the dialog box lit up slightly, just like the chat interface of V-letter, with words left on it.
This time it might be because Ying Xuan spent money.
The system also provides a user-friendly prompt below.
The other party has read it and cannot reply!
Although depressed, Ying Xuan is still full of expectations.
Counselor? Who is the one? You can't just come to Han Xin, right? That’s so exciting!
However, Han Xin should be regarded as a military commander, and he does not seem to be a counselor. I don’t understand how the system is divided. Let’s wait until we see him tomorrow.
…
The next day, when Ying Xuan got out of bed comfortably, he enjoyed the careful grooming of several maids.
Picking up his small bamboo fan, he walked leisurely towards Chaoyang Hall.
Today is the middle of the month, and it is also the day when Yingzhenghui School tests the children’s recent knowledge.
Although Ying Xuan's predecessor had already reached the standard, he was overwhelming the other princes in terms of knowledge.
Ying Zheng also gave special permission for him not to participate.
But he still came early to have breakfast together. After all, this meal was the safest. No one could tamper with it. He could eat it openly.
Moreover, the chefs who cooked for the First Emperor would always come up with new ideas. In addition to directly grilling or roasting meat, they would also cook some steamed food in a different way, sprinkled with fine salt, green onions and ginger.
Even without things like chili and cumin, the taste is still very good, at least much better than what I usually eat.
Wait for Ying Xuan to enter the main hall.
Unexpectedly, there were already more than a dozen princes sitting neatly on the left and right sides.
Ying Xuan was speechless. Is it possible for a prince to be so arrogant?
I'm here so early, don't you need to sleep?
Seeing Ying Xuan walking through the door, the other princes stood up neatly, saluted, and respectfully called "big brother."
Ying Xuan nodded and narrowed his eyes at Hu Hai, the only one who ignored him.
"Do well in the school exam today. When it's over, I'll take everyone out to play!"
As soon as these words came out, the princes all looked expectant.
In the past, the eldest brother would only teach them how to be benevolent, filial, and respectful to their eldest brother as their father.
Every time I meet the princes like my eldest brother, I am reluctant to do so, which is not much better than meeting my own teacher.
But three months ago, my eldest brother suddenly changed gender.
Not only did he secretly take them out of the palace to play and buy them all kinds of delicious food.
There were also a lot of interesting gadgets for them to play with in the Fun Pavilion.
Since then, these princes have been looking forward to seeing their eldest brother every month.
It was only this day that they could legitimately leave the palace to play.
At this moment, even Hu Hai, who was kneeling at the front, looked a little moved.
He also wanted to integrate into this big happy family, but he didn't know why.
Starting last month, the eldest brother, who used to treat his brothers and sisters equally, suddenly started to discriminate after asking him his name.
I bought candied haws for everyone except him.
She also made it clear several times that she didn't like Hu Hai and asked him not to follow her.
That inexplicable attack left a huge shadow on Hu Hai's young mind.
Even in the next few days, he would cry in grievance whenever he thought about it.
Sure enough, Ying Xuan smiled evilly before he finished speaking.
"Except Hu Hai!"
Suddenly, the big eyes of this child who was less than nine years old were instantly covered with mist.
The already small mouth wrinkled tightly uncontrollably.
He raised his face stubbornly, whimpering and resisting the injustice of fate.
"If you don't want to go, you won't go. It's the same as whoever wants to go!"
Ying Xuan looked at Hu Hai who was about to cry and was very satisfied.
Who made you so cruel in the future that you killed dozens of brothers and sisters?
If you want to blame, blame yourself for being too cruel, just think of this as atonement.
Ying Xuan felt very relieved after enjoying the pleasure of bullying the children.
Although morally reprehensible, he was still happy.
With a flick of his right hand, he opened the bamboo fan and walked leisurely to the first desk on the right.
This is Ying Xuan's exclusive seat. Ying Zheng decided it. Even if Ying Xuan is not around, no one dares to sit on it.
It can also be seen from this that Ying Zheng still loves his eldest son very much.
It's just that the man in history didn't know what to do. Not only did he fail to become the prince, he even lost his life.
Ying Xuan fanned his bamboo fan and walked past his younger brothers and sisters with a leisurely expression.
I gradually lose myself in the big brother.
And Hu Hai finally couldn't help but cry as he became more and more angry as he thought about it.
The eunuch behind him who had been silent hurriedly stepped forward to coax Hu Hai.
His Majesty will arrive soon. When he sees Hu Hai crying here, he will definitely leave a weak impression.
Young Master Yingxuan's scheme is indeed vicious. Fortunately, this time he was ordered by Zhao Gao to come with him to prevent Young Master Hu Hai from being bullied.
"Master Hu Hai didn't offend you. How could you bully him so casually? Such behavior really betrays your reputation for generosity and kindness."
Ying Xuan was so thick-skinned that he didn't care at all about what a eunuch said.
But who knew that when Ying Xuan didn't reply, the eunuch felt like a child who had done bad things and was discovered by an adult, and he relied on his status as an adult to preach again.
"Forget it this time. If you dare to bully my young master again in the future, I will definitely report it to Duke Zhao and let him report it to His Majesty!"
"When the time comes, even if you are a young master, I'm afraid you won't be punished!"
The smile on Ying Xuan's face gradually disappeared with the eunuch's preaching threats.
The eunuch was very excited when he saw that he had suppressed the arrogant Ying Xuan.
"Master, don't worry, no one can bully you as long as I'm here! Even Master Ying Xuan can't offend Mr. Zhao behind me!"
"It is the most correct choice for you to make Mr. Zhao your master!"
Hu Hai on the side blinked with an expression of relief, and stared fiercely at Ying Xuan.
Who would have thought that Ying Xuan turned around and walked out of the hall without saying a word.
This made the eunuch even more proud and Hu Hai even happier.
The other princes all looked solemn. Zhao Gao became more and more favored. Now his eunuchs became bolder and even dared to call him the prince.
Young Master Jiang Lu and Young Master Gao, who were second only to Ying Xuan in age, looked at each other.
If a eunuch dares to talk about the emperor's son today, he will not dare to control the government tomorrow.
But now the company eldest son Ying Xuan is afraid that Zhao Gao will complain in front of his father and turn around and leave after being lectured. What can they do? Can they stand up and contradict him at the risk of being punished?
Just when the princes were holding back their anger, the panicked noises of the guards suddenly sounded outside the door, and then everyone heard a "clang".
The next moment, Ying Xuan, expressionless, walked back into the hall holding the sword he took from the guard.
There was no trace of anger on his face, he just raised the sword coldly, stepped forward and threw it suddenly.
The long sword turned into a black light and stabbed hard into the eunuch's left shoulder.
The wide-eyed eunuch never expected that Young Master Yingxuan, who was only thirteen years old, could be so ruthless and would kill him on the spot just because of a few words.
The sword pierced his shoulder blade, and the severe pain made him wake up suddenly.
Even if it was Duke Zhao who was behind him, it would not matter if he killed Zhao Gao and the prince would not be buried with him. At most, he would only be punished.
Fear instantly washed away all his pride, and it was only at this moment that he recognized his position.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. No one expected that the eldest son would be so decisive.
Facing the eunuch who provoked him, he would kill him without saying a word.
The eunuch was scared out of his wits by this sword, and looked at Ying Xuan who didn't want to give up and was chasing after him.
He didn't even bother to pull it out and ran away holding the sword.
The threat of death increased his speed, and he even ran around the pillars to avoid Ying Xuan and ran out of the palace.
Just as he was about to escape, another bronze blade appeared outside the door.
It's not like Ying Xuan just wants to give the opponent a blow with this sword.
All the princes saw was a flash of cold light, and all the eunuch's calves were cut off. The eunuch screamed in pain and fell to his knees.
This sudden scene made Ying Xuan freeze on the spot.
But the guard who took action had an expressionless expression as if he had trampled an ant to death. After cutting off the eunuch's calf, he bowed respectfully to Ying Xuan.
Ying Xuan's mind exploded. Could this be one of the two guards drawn last night?
Also seeing this scene was Ying Zheng, who had just walked into the courtyard. He saw that the guard was about to step forward and strike again with his sword.
The First Emperor said angrily, "Stop!"
