The baby was pulled away by Zhao Gao and found that his white clothes were stained with a lot of his own dirty water. Many places were soaked, and some were even wrinkled by his scratches. He was embarrassed to wipe them with his sleeves. I know the more I rub, the worse it gets. Seeing that he didn't listen to his words, Zhao Gao simply took the initiative to grab him, handed the water to him personally and briefly ordered: "Drink." The baby blinked his moist eyes and looked at him, stunned. He took the earthenware bowl, took a sip, and immediately started drinking. The water in the earthenware bowl quickly reached the bottom. It looked like he was really thirsty.
After taking a shower, Wawa came out with wet hair and saw Zhao Gao standing in trance under the eaves in front of the door. Originally, when it rained, the humidity lingering all over the body was extremely uncomfortable, but when the baby saw Zhao Gaoning and Ming Lang's profile, the dampness receded instantly, and he felt warm again.
Walking over on tiptoe, the doll seemed to be afraid of destroying the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. He pulled Zhao Gao's sleeves very carefully, handed a pile of black clothes in his hand to Zhao Gao and said, "I heard that it was worn by me, Aweng." Yes, grandma originally wanted to keep it and change it for me to wear, but it didn’t work out. Xiaogao, you have to go to work in the afternoon and don’t have time to go back and change it. If you don’t mind, just change it into this one.”
When the baby mentioned his Aweng, Zhao Gao was a little surprised. Seeing that the baby was also dressed in black clothes that remained unchanged all year round, he expected that both father and son were of the same blood lineage of the Qin Gong family. They were born to like thick and condensed colors, and they carried them in their bones and blood. The aura of uprightness and righteousness that comes out, the magnanimity of the office, sometimes it is really impossible to cover it up.
At first, Zhao Gao was afraid that it would be awkward to get along with the baby after knowing the baby's identity. Unexpectedly, everything he expressed came from the heart and was natural. He had to sigh that a few months of time could not be erased, so he quickly I adjusted my mentality and stopped thinking about these meaningless things.
Watching Zhao Gao put on his own Aweng's boyhood clothes, the doll was completely dumbfounded. Just as Zhao Gao, who usually wore a commoner's white robe, was like a deep and quiet spring, now he is like a bright star in the dark night. At only thirteen or fourteen years old, he already has the aura of Tsinghua University in his every move. "Good-looking, good-looking." The doll murmured innocently.
Zhao Gao ignored him, turned around and brought a dry cloth, put it on his wet hair politely, and said calmly: "You'd better take care of yourself first."
Since then, with Guo Kai's secret protection, life on Wawa's side has returned to its former peace. In fact, he disliked Guo Kai the most, but he also knew that as Xiao Gao said, he had no ability to protect himself at the moment and had to rely on this person. Therefore, although he would not show much intimacy to Guo Kai when he looked at him again, it was still enough to give him face. .
Of course, for the sake of caution, Guo Kai rarely came to disturb him in person, so he mostly asked people to lend him things, test the doll's attitude, and sell favors. Over time, he was coaxed into believing in Zhao by the doll's "obedience". If it's high. As time passed, King Zhao forgot about the baby, and mother and son were much freer than before.
Now that he knew the identity of the baby, Zhao Gao began to have more plans in his mind and became more and more concerned about the baby's education. He did not want the empire built by the child in front of him to go down the path of death after his death, so he made great adjustments to the content of the class.
It is said that he who has the advantage of time travel should be like those time travel men, who can easily stir up troubles in other worlds, ascend to heaven and worship the Prime Minister, and even reach the state of invincibility, but the reality is often cruel. It is true that he stands higher than others and sees further than others, but like an ant, every step he takes now is just an uncertain attempt.
It is true that in the next two thousand years, historians have never stopped researching "Why did Qin II die?" However, the wisdom accumulated for more than two thousand years is only at the research level and falls into practical thinking. To reverse the situation and make any decision, we must consider the consequences of one step of deviation and one step of deviation. We must know that after getting involved, "who can control who is in control" cannot be controlled by one's own control.
But "whether it is difficult to do it" and "whether to do it or not" are all matters of one's own mind. Zhao Gao has never been a timid person, and he is not willing to live a mediocre life, so he is willing to take the first step and give it a try. And the educational doll will be his first step.
two years later
It rained suddenly at noon one day, and Xu Shoushu came up to close the window and inspect the house. Zhao Gao didn't need to panic because of his relationship with the old man, so he leaned openly on the bookshelf and read his books. Wawa did not have such good luck. He hid in Tibet and fought guerrillas with Xu Shoushu for a long time. In the end, the person finally left, and then he came back depressedly. Seeing that Zhao Gao didn't look worried at all, the baby was furious.
It was not easy to get Zhao Gao's attention away from the book, but what Zhao Gao said with a half-smile made the baby even more depressed: "I see you act like a little old man all day long, and occasionally you can play some children's games." Not bad.”
Zhao Gao was currently sitting on the ground, and the baby was just a head taller than him. Thinking of how he "bullied" her on weekdays, the doll also imitated him and touched his head, and angrily reminded: "Xiao Gao, you are only a few years older than me." Mr. Zhao Gao If there was a way to deal with him, he asked with a smile: "Have you finished copying the books I asked you to copy yesterday?"
baby:"……"
Less than half an hour later...
"Many of the words I am emphasizing today have their own reasons. I am not advising you to hold on to the idea of "thinning the law and favoring Confucianism" or even "abolishing the law and following Confucianism". I want you to broaden your horizons and not to think too much about it. The way to govern a country is limited to one family. Someone will teach you the essence of the law when you return to Qin in the future. I don’t need to say more now, but you can discuss it with me if you meet someone who is interested. As for Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism, I don’t think there will be any in the future. If others tell you, I will do it."
Back to...Qin? That place is both far away and yet so close to the doll. It was far away due to geographical limitations, but close because he had heard it mentioned by others over the years, and he had dreamed of it more than once. Looking at Zhao Gao blankly, Wawa asked blankly in his heart: Is it still possible?
Zhao Gao didn't know what he was thinking, but he just thought he was still confused. He suddenly remembered a sentence he had read before, so he coughed lightly and started talking nonsense seriously: "There used to be a country called Tang, and its monarch Li Longji was in When I was reading "Laozi", I said something: 'Act from the truth, don't respect the learning' [1]. This statement is most suitable for the attitude towards the opinions of hundreds of schools of thought. If you can remember it for life, and be impartial It’s not in vain that I have taught you all these years if you use the essentials of each school.”
The baby was stunned by his coaxing, and nodded obediently with his cheeks puffed out, but he was still a little confused: "I seem to understand what Xiao Gao said, and I will just listen to you from now on. But this person's name is really strange, and …How come I have never heard of this King Tang and his country?”
Zhao Gao has never felt that he was wronged by the fact that he often talks nonsense to the baby. Now he was questioned by the baby with a suspicious look on his face. He obviously didn't know what shame was, and said boldly: "It's written in the book, so you should read more books. "
Zhao Gao's "I didn't lie to you" smile looked completely sincere, but the doll said "oh" and couldn't help but ask: "What's the title of the book?"
"..."
Zhao Gao's expression remained unchanged, but he remained silent for a moment without speaking. Wawa didn't think there was anything wrong and instead came to his rescue, "Xiao Gao, have you forgotten?" he asked kindly. "Um...forgot", this time Zhao Gao replied with a clear, gentle and harmless answer, and the baby actually believed it stupidly.
Don't worry, the baby is so easy to deceive here in Zhao Gao, and the baby may not be convinced if it were Guo Kai who did the same thing. Therefore, Zhao Gao is "unwilling to betray" the trust of the baby, and he always feels at ease when he deceives him on these matters.
Speaking of Guo Kai, we have to mention the current situation in the DPRK and China. Nowadays, Prince Jia's life is becoming more and more difficult. Although he is very influential in the court because of his prudent behavior, he is still young and rarely has a "knowing the round and guarding the right" attitude in dealing with people, so not everyone is optimistic about him. When Lian Po and Li Mu were there, the Qing Dynasty in the court was strong, which could keep him safe. Now that they were out of reach of their troops, many people in the court fell to his father's side.
He promised that everything he did was for Zhao. In addition, he had been praised by those "Qingliu people" for a long time, and he was used to being aloof. When Li Mu was around, he always reminded him, but now that Li Mu is gone, I couldn't hold it in any longer. Although he had no intention of becoming incompatible with his father, some of his father's actions really chilled him. His repeated admonishments were ineffective. There were often tit-for-tat situations, and the relationship between father and son became increasingly intense. Grind the thinner.
After careful calculation, apart from his own reasons, it can almost be said that Taizi Jia's fault was caused by Guo Kai. In the past, we have seen that all those who commit great crimes like to suppress their evil nature and hide it again and again, for fear that others will notice it and it will be inconvenient for them to commit great evil in the future. But this dear friend is different. His face clearly says that I am a treacherous minister. I neither try to restrain nor hide it. I walk through the market with a treacherous face every day. That is called magnanimity.
But there is also an advantage to such a person: sometimes people tend to ignore things that are too obvious, but in fact he is standing there swaggeringly. Just like when people see things under strong light, there will be certain blind spots, which may even lead to temporary blindness and difficulty in seeing some things.
This advantage can lead people to mistakenly underestimate his destructive capabilities and thus relax their guard. Guo Kai has exactly such a way of life. The more Prince Jia disdains him, the easier it is for him to let down his guard and be led by him step by step, gradually leading to an isolated and helpless predicament.
Zhao Gao rested his forehead with one hand and placed the other on the window sill of Langhuan Pavilion. He was thinking about these while facing the well-proportioned palaces outside. When the baby raised his head and called out "Xiao Gao", he didn't even notice. He had no choice but to rub his legs that were curled up and numb on the ground and stood up. Although he had grown a lot in the past two years, he still couldn't see out from here while standing like this. So he crept up the earthen steps in front of the window sill and came closer. Go to Zhao Gao and look out into the distance. The afternoon breeze blew on their faces, refreshing and warm.
