After venting his anger, Ying Zheng was in a good mood and called Zhao Gao after rejecting all his sons.
"Did you arrange the eunuch who followed Hu Hai this morning?"
Zhao Gao had already heard about what happened in Chaoyang Palace before he came, and was already prepared in his heart.
He said calmly.
"It was arranged by Wei Chen. Wei Chen just wanted Young Master Hu Hai to be less bullied, but he didn't expect that slave to be so bold. He dared to contradict Young Master Ying Xuan. He is really looking for death."
Ying Zheng's indifferent face showed no trace of happiness or anger, and he said something casually.
"It seems you have good intentions, but the eunuch has a broken leg. I'm afraid he won't be too comfortable in the future."
Zhao Gao's heart skipped a beat and he immediately replied.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. We will make sure that he has no worries in the future."
Ying Zheng nodded and then said to the guard who had just taken action.
"Do you know your guilt?"
The guard knelt down and saluted, but still did not speak.
Ying Zheng slapped the table in anger.
"You didn't say a word? Are you so loyal? Then I'll remove you from my position and get twenty jobs."
The guard lowered his head and kowtowed again.
Everyone around him secretly felt pity that this boy had a bright future at such a young age, but today he helped Young Master Yingxuan to ruin all his hard work over the past few years.
Ying Zheng stood up with a flick of his sleeves, but said one sentence before leaving.
"By the way, doesn't Ying Xuan have no staff? Go find him after the beating."
As soon as these words came out, the guard suddenly raised his head and was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
After watching Ying Zheng leave, Zhao Gao also turned around and left in a hurry.
Now His Majesty is almost clearly biased towards Young Master Ying Xuan.
The eunuch lost his life after just a few words of provocation, and the guards who helped Ying Xuan were promoted overtly and secretly, and became the prince's closest ministers.
The purpose of calling him here was just to give him a beating and let him deal with his cronies personally.
With just this one move, no eunuch would be devoted to him in the future.
Zhao Gao lamented that the First Emperor was cruel enough.
…
Outside the Chaoyang Palace, Ying Xuan was holding his butt reluctantly.
Just a little bit, just a little bit close!
Whenever Ying Zheng asks a normal question about war, Ying Xuan's wish to join the army will come true.
It's better now. Not only did he fail to show his sage, he also got a beating in vain.
"Hi~ No, it seems we have to change our strategy. Why doesn't the old man want me to join the army?"
"Is he afraid that I will rebel if I take over the military power? Yes! That's right. He is so defensive about the enfeoffment system and is probably also worried about my separatist rule."
"It seems that I have to find a way to make him believe in me. I have to show my loyalty so that he thinks I am just going to have fun and then come back."
Ying Xuan nodded secretly, thinking that he had figured out the First Emperor's thoughts.
In fact, when Ying Xuan first came to this world three months ago.
He wouldn't dare to dance like this in front of the Eternal Emperor.
At that time, he had just figured out the environment and wanted to integrate into this era.
He was careful in everything he did, for fear of accidentally angering this tyrannical emperor and being dragged out to be cooked!
But slowly, he discovered that this cheap dad was not as cruel as he thought.
He never killed meritorious officials because the other party did not agree with his point of view.
At best, it is discarded.
Those without talent are sent back to their hometowns, and those with some talent are sent to remote areas to let them burn off their remaining energy.
After reading more, Ying Xuan understood that this First Emperor was still a little different from the history books.
And his thoughts are not old-fashioned at all. When he first came here, he desperately wanted to change his name back.
After a few shameless attempts, the First Emperor agreed.
Even Ying Xuan couldn't believe it.
You know, in that era, changing the name decided by your father was like trying to start your own business, it was no different from pointing at your father's nose and yelling at him.
But the Eternal Emperor was stunned and didn't say much, except that he couldn't bear it when he heard it for the first time and gave Ying Xuan a good beating.
In the end, even though he was gritting his teeth and holding back his anger, he still nodded sympathetically in agreement.
This moved Ying Xuan very much, and from then on he decided to repay Ying Zheng before leaving.
The first thing is to solve his constipation problem.
Ying Xuan saw him wiping his butt with a finger-width wooden slip several times and it was very painful, so he suspected that he had hemorrhoids.
After all, he either sits on the throne or on a chair all day long.
The emperor is probably the first profession in history to sit in an office all day, and the probability of getting sick is indeed very high.
Moreover, the wooden slips were very painful for Ying Xuan to use.
The little barbs on it are always his biggest enemy when going to the toilet.
So Ying Xuan decided to make the first invention that would change the world, starting with papermaking.
He is a well-read man who knows a little bit about everything. How can such a genius worry about making paper?
He led his brothers towards the palace gate and caught a glimpse of Hu Hai, who was standing alone in the corner, looking at them with his lips pouted.
I don't know why I suddenly softened my heart and said casually.
"If you want to come, follow closely and don't lose yourself!"
Then he led everyone away without looking back, while Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, blinking as if he couldn't believe it.
I was a little confused. I really wanted to eat the wooden toys in the candied haws and fun pavilion.
But after all, he had just been ostracized by his eldest brother. Wouldn't it look very spineless for him to stick to him just after saying a word?
At this time, Jiang Lu, the second oldest man standing at the end, looked back at him and laughed out loud when he saw him biting his lip and taking two steps before stopping.
"What are you looking at? You haven't followed up yet? How can he really hate you after all, he's my eldest brother? You must have done something bad some time ago, and he wants to teach you a lesson so that you can remember it."
"Now that brother's anger has subsided, do you still have some backbone?"
Jiang Lu's words successfully awakened Hu Hai.
"Yes, my eldest brother used to be very doting on me. What happened that caused his temperament to change drastically and alienate me?"
He suddenly remembered that when the eunuch mentioned Zhao Gao just now, Ying Xuan's face turned cold.
I understood something instantly.
Ying Xuan, whose butt no longer hurts, led a group of real boys to the palace gate arrogantly.
While waiting for the door to open, I kept tapping my forehead with the bamboo fan in my hand.
"Hey~ Why do you always feel like you forgot something important?"
It wasn't until he saw the Imperial Guards Lieutenant who greeted him warmly that he suddenly remembered.
His loyal guard is still waiting to be punished! An unprovoked murder in the palace will result in at least dozens of beatings. If the person is really beaten and the person is crippled, he will have to use some superpowers to help him.
Ying Xuan smiled sincerely at the approaching lieutenant.
He skillfully put his hand on the other person's shoulder, fumbled around for a long time and took out a gold cake. After a moment's hesitation, he gave it to the lieutenant.
This move immediately shocked the lieutenant. How dare he accept the bribe from the eldest son? He hurriedly declined.
"Young master, don't try to hurt us. If you have anything to do, just give us your orders. We will definitely die without mercy."
But Ying Xuan is a person who doesn’t understand the world.
It's okay to ask people to do things once or twice without giving any benefits. Once you do it a few times, you can see if they still pay attention to you.
And as the Royal Palace Guards, I might need these people at some point, so spending a small amount of money now is not a waste.
"Huh? Lieutenant, what are you talking about? I'm just looking at the hard work of the brothers. It's just a small amount to treat the brothers to drinks. If you don't want to accept it, wouldn't you be disrespecting me?"
When the lieutenant heard this, he immediately understood that Ying Xuan really had a personal matter, and hesitantly accepted the gold cake.
But his eyes were still fixed on Ying Xuan, waiting for the next step.
Sure enough, Ying Xuan looked slightly distressed.
"Oh, Lieutenant, I don't know. This morning, a eunuch insulted us. I had no choice but to resist."
"As for the brother on duty at Chaoyang Palace, I couldn't bear it. He took action to help me, but his father happened to see him. Now I don't know what kind of punishment he will be punished. I feel very guilty in my heart."
"I wanted to help him, but I couldn't get in the way. I had no choice but to ask the lieutenant to be accommodating. When he was ordered to be punished, he would use some tricks. He must not let the brother suffer too much."
Unexpectedly, this lieutenant was also a loyal and honest man. When he heard that the young master wanted to protect his brothers, he was even more unwilling to take the gold cake and force it back.
"Sir, it's a great gift from God that you can be considerate to us. If I receive any more favors from you, I'll be worse than a beast!"
Ying Xuan didn't expect the other party to react so strongly, but he took out all his own money. The guards guarding the door in the distance seemed to be looking intently, but the corners of their eyes were fixed on the gold cake in Ying Xuan's hand.
According to their rules, this gold cake can be enough to provide several years of salary for them.
Ying Xuan couldn't take it back, it would really harm his face. He hesitated slightly and then thought that the eunuch hadn't been killed yet? Don't leave any trouble behind.
"It's better than this. The eunuch who was stabbed by the guard this morning, please come over after your shift to see if there is any way to help me deal with it. If you can deal with it, the money will be regarded as commission money. If you can't deal with it, it will be regarded as hard work. ?”
Without waiting for the lieutenant's reply, Ying Xuan put the gold cake into his hand.
Then he turned around, waved his hand, and left with all his brothers.
The lieutenant looked at Ying Xuan's leaving figure and said with emotion.
"With a young master who cares about his subordinates, our country, Great Qin, will not have to worry about the future."
…
The backyard of a shop on the east side of the main street of Xianyang City.
"Crush the bark, boil it in water, pound it into foam...and then how do you get it?"
"Hey, I can't remember!"
At this moment, summoned by Ying Xuan, all the younger brothers gathered around a large pot with boiled bark.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"I don't know. He said that this thing can increase the efficiency of information transmission, and can also make people around the world wiser. More importantly, it can make everyone's butts feel better."
Hu Hai stood aside, chewing on the candied haws and thinking to himself.
"How can a pile of rotten tree bark enlighten the common people? Today's people are rarely literate, let alone enlightened? As for the buttocks feeling better, this messy ball of pulp can still be breathed out, huh~ I think It makes me sick just thinking about it.”
Ying Xuan was squatting in front of a large pot, rolling up his sleeves and scratching his hair in confusion.
Why is it so easy for people to travel through time and make soap and glass?
Once you reach your goal, you have to pass five levels and kill six generals. Inventing something is as difficult as attaining enlightenment, ascending to heaven and overcoming tribulations.
While Ying Xuan was distressed, he fished out some chopped bark with a stick.
"This didn't turn into paper, did it?"
Forget it. If you can't figure it out, forget about it. Ying Xuan has never been the kind of person who makes things difficult for himself.
He greeted the clerk in the shop, found a piece of cloth, poured the boiled slurry on it, filtered the water and spread it out under the sun. Whether it could be turned into paper depends on its own destiny.
Sure enough, it would be easy if you don't dig into the corners. If you can't make it, you can't make it.
If I can't repay the First Emperor, then I will run away with my advisers.
Ying Xuan looked at the sun, which had already risen three poles, and thought that the counselor should be coming soon.
