"As a relative of His Highness, I should do this." Wang Li replied without hesitation, but there was an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
"Master Wang said this, Gu felt a lot of relief in his heart. If necessary in the future, I hope that Master Wang will remember Gu as a royal relative." Qin Heng snickered in his heart, but said seriously on the surface.
He is setting a trap for Wang Li now, and then gradually assimilates to him as he gradually gets acquainted with him.
He can't just come up and say that I want to seize the legitimate son, please help me.
This is a bit unrealistic. Wang Li will definitely not express his position if he does not see that he has the ability to seize the throne.
After all, he was slightly deficient in nature.
Of course, he would not take all of Wang Li's promises seriously. Maybe in his heart, he was still a young boy.
To be able to talk about today's situation, to be honest, I have to thank Sister Huang for her assist.
"Don't worry, your highness. If you need my help in the future, your highness will just say it's okay." Wang Li's tone was full of determination. However, he seemed to feel something was wrong, and added: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to do it." go."
Qin Heng smiled slightly and didn't care about his little thoughts.
"Master Wang, please stay at your house at noon and have a meal with me."
Wang Li thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "In this case, it is better for me and my son to be respectful than to obey."
The next day, Qin Heng remembered Wang Baobao's hesitant expression when he left yesterday, so he ordered Chen Liang, the clan guard, to bring a generous gift to the palace. The gift list stated that it was tonic for the emperor's sister to recuperate her health.
In Qinfang Palace, Zhao Gan walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, this is the ginseng soup specially sent by the Seventh Prince."
"Oh, what's happened to Di'er these days? I deliver some ginseng soup on time every day. I feel like I've gained a little weight these days." Emperor Qin put down the book in his hand with a strange expression on his face.
"The Seventh Prince sees His Majesty working hard, so he brings ginseng soup every day for His Majesty to recuperate the dragon's body." Zhao Gan bent down and came closer.
Emperor Qin picked up the ginseng soup, took a sip, and then placed it on the dragon table: "Did Di'er go back after delivering the ginseng soup?"
"Yes, the Seventh Prince left after delivering the ginseng soup. He was afraid of disturbing His Majesty in handling government affairs." Zhao Gan walked aside and answered softly.
"It's rare that he has such filial piety. Tell Di'er that tomorrow I will check on his recent residence and study." Emperor Qin had a smile on his lips and seemed to be in a good mood.
"promise."
Zhao Gan responded respectfully.
At this time, a burst of footsteps sounded from outside the hall.
Emperor Qin looked up and saw a Langguan walking in with steady steps.
"Your Majesty, King Xiaoxian is asking for an audience at the palace gate." Lang Guan bowed with great salute, his eyes were downcast, and he reported respectfully.
"Pass it." Emperor Qin ordered with a wave of his hand.
"No." Lang Guan accepted the order, then turned and left.
Seeing Lang Guan's disappearing figure, Emperor Qin's eyes moved, and he turned around and asked: "Heng'er was ill a few days ago, has the imperial doctor been sent to him?"
Zhao Gan shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty did not summon the imperial physician."
"Yes." Emperor Qin nodded slightly but said nothing.
After a while, a guard in front of the palace pushed Qin Heng in.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Qin Heng bowed his hands and bent deeply.
"Get up, why did you enter the palace today?" Emperor Qin asked kindly with a smile on his face.
Qin Heng scratched his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Back to my father, there were too many ministers visiting me in the past few days, so I had no choice but to pretend to be sick. The situation has improved in the past few days, so I came here to say hello. So that my father will not miss you."
"Haha, you, why didn't I see the palace summoning the imperial doctor?" The smile on Emperor Qin's face became stronger and stronger, and he shook his head, looking doting on him.
"Haha, I have no choice but to pretend to be ill. I hope my father won't blame me." Qin Heng's words showed a fearful tone, as if he was tortured by those ministers.
When he was pretending to be sick, he knew he couldn't hide it from his father, so he never planned to hide it. Seeing that it was about the same time, he came here to explain it.
The emperor's ears and eyes may be by your side. Never doubt the intelligence of an emperor who ascends the throne.
They are all successful in seizing the direct descendants, how can it be that simple?
"That's good, it saves you the trouble of being alone in the house all day." Emperor Qin felt funny in his heart when he saw him like this.
When Qin Heng heard this, he immediately cried and said, "My son, I know."
"Since you're here, I'll go see your mother-in-law soon. She asked me about you a few days ago."
"Well, I know, I will go visit my mother and concubine later." Qin Heng nodded, even if his father didn't mention it, he would mention it later.
"Well, don't tell your mother and concubine about pretending to be sick. She doesn't know, so she won't blame you later." Emperor Qin responded, then thought of this matter and couldn't help but give instructions.
Seeing what he said, Qin Heng quickly replied: "I understand."
He wished that his mother-in-law didn't know, otherwise there would be another spell.
Thinking in his mind, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Emperor Qin curiously: "By the way, Father, is the canal path ready?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qin's happy expression quietly disappeared, and he sighed in a low voice: "Not yet, the ground is stiff in winter, so it will take a lot of time."
Qin Heng understood, and his father was also very anxious, but he had no choice but to wait until the survey was completed and the route was decided.
Digging a canal requires many steps. The first is topographic survey, which determines the path of the canal based on the geology and topography.
Then determine the width, depth, water flow, terrain, rivers and lakes that need to pass through the canal, etc. This will save a lot of effort and time.
Not only that, but also marked and drawn into pictures.
Excavation can only be done after doing this, and the excavated soil must be disposed of in a way, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
After the final completion, the canal will be reinforced and hydraulic structures such as gates and dams will be built to control the water flow and adjust the water level and speed of the canal.
In this way, a canal can be truly completed, rather than just calling some people to start construction directly.
It is winter right now, so it is difficult to survey the geology. A large number of people are required to dig holes in different places, conduct compass positioning, and then determine whether it is possible.
Seeing his frown, Qin Heng could only comfort him: "Father, don't be too anxious. Haste makes waste. Digging a canal is not something that can be done overnight. An accurate survey will avoid spending more time in the future." , labor.”
After hearing his son's words, Qin Huang put away his thoughts and forced a smile on his lips: "Well, you are right. Now we can only wait for the path to be determined before starting work."
Qin Heng grinned and said with concern: "Father, please do your work first, and I won't disturb you. Father, you must also balance work and rest, and don't be too tired."
