Through Time Chapter 260

But it’s too late to regret it now.

Looking at the expectant eyes of Zhao Lang, Qin Shi Huang squeezed out a smile and said

“Well, it just so happens that father has no one living in this manor on weekdays, so I will give it to you.”

“It will also be easier to contact you in the future.”

Zhao Lang instantly revealed an expression of surprise.

“Thank you father! You’re such a good headmaster!”

“Mmm.”

Qin Shi Huang responded sullenly.

Twenty thousand taels, plus a manor house, in exchange for a compliment.

To say that it was a loss was naturally not a loss, and this would all be the cornerstone of the Great Qin in the future.

To say that it is not a loss is to say that it is not a loss.

At this time, Zhao Long said with a smile.

“Just in time, you give the school a name.”

After receiving the money, how can we make the golden father feel a bit accomplished.

Naming rights are a great option, and it’s not like you have to pay anything.

But it gives an overwhelming sense of achievement.

“Names?”

Qin Shi Huang’s heart moved slightly, in fact, the name was in his mind, that is, the straightforward Great Qin Royal Academy.

The school was founded by his imperial son, Zhao Lang, and rightly so.

Only now, it could not be so.

After a moment of slight contemplation, Qin Shi Huang spoke to

“Let’s call it the Crane Academy.”

Zhao Lang froze for a moment, the name alone didn’t sound very atmospheric.

But he couldn’t refute the name given by the golden master’s father, so he returned, dryly.

“It’s really a good name!”

Looking at Zhao Lang, how could Qin Shi Huang not know what he was thinking, and said, without good humour

“Uneducated brat, this is taken from the poem, ‘The crane sings in the ninth gao (gao) and the sound is heard in the wild’.”

Only then did Zhao Lang nodded in a dazed manner, he really didn’t know.

Qin Shi Huang then said that

“Father is a bit tired, so since there is nothing more to do, I will go and rest first.”

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, and Zhao Lang came up with anything more good, he would not even be able to keep his palace in Xianyang!

“Father, I’ll see you off.”

Zhao Lang stood up attentively.

Having only taken 20,000 taels, and a manor house, it was better to be enthusiastic.

Qin Shi Huang returned with a smile.

“It is not necessary, and you should rest early.”

Zhao Lang did not dwell on this, and shouted directly towards the outside that

“Someone, send my father back to his room!”

Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang with the appearance of a skilled master, and for a moment his mood was extremely complicated.

Soon, back in his own courtyard, Qin Shi Huang was still thinking about something when Zhao Gao, who was on the side, smiled bitterly and said

“This Gongzi Lang is too nonsensical, this is the same old manor you had back then after your return.”

Others did not know about the origin of this manor, but he knew about it.

Qin Shi Huang had originally been a little preoccupied, but when he heard Zhao Gao’s words, he frowned slightly.

Even if Zhao Lang had some minor mistakes, that could only be said by him, in a cold voice to that

“It is just as well to leave this stately home alone, it is just as well for Long’s son to use it to train his men.”

“Your Majesty is right.”

Zhao Gao responded at once.

“It’s just that in that case, Your Majesty, the inner sanctum is empty again.”

Hearing this news, Qin Shi Huang thought for a moment and said that

“How has Hai’er been doing lately?”

Zhao Gao froze for a moment, how did he, his majesty, catch a man in a pit!

Even if Zhao Gao’s heart was more towards Zhao Lang nowadays, he could not see it any more.

What’s more, Hu Hai was also half his disciple.

And so it was said that

“Your Majesty, Duke Hu Hai has been extremely disciplined recently and has not done anything to oppress the people when he goes out.”

“Oh.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded with some regret and then asked

“Where is Su’er, and Gao’er?”

These two, Zhao Gao could not be much better friends, and truthfully reported to

“Duke Fusu has recently become very close to the Confucianists, and often feasts Confucian students, probably to build up momentum for tomorrow’s second Confucian debate.”

“Gongzi Gao has had many dealings with the disciples of the Legalists, and last time he also won a lot of support in the first debate of the Legalists.”

“But neither has revealed their identities.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded his head with a smile as he listened and said

“Good, both know how to recruit people.”

Zhao Gao looked slightly moved and said.

“Your Majesty, should I go and keep an eye on it?”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head and said.

“Since Long’er can recruit men, Su’er and Gao’er can naturally do the same.”

“However, the pattern is a bit smaller, using the people of a family, in the end, it is inevitable that they will be subject to the constraints of others!”

“It’s better for Long’er to use both.”

Zhao Gao, however, spoke with some concern.

“Your Majesty, Gongzi Lang is now the head of two families and is also deeply appreciated by Confucian head Kongjia.”

“But if Gong Zi Lang’s identity is revealed to the world later, I am afraid there will be changes.”

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang also could not help but frown, and after thinking slightly for a moment, said that

“The medical family need not worry, that old Qin has already recognized me, which means that he has recognized the identity of Zhao Lang.”

“It is only the agricultural and Confucian families that are a little tricky.”

The various schools of thought are mostly dissatisfied with the Great Qin.

Otherwise, he would not have had to worry so much.

It was just that Qin Shi Huang had thought about it, but there was nothing very good he could do about it.

Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was worried, Zhao Gao at once comforted to

“Your Majesty does not need to worry too much, Duke Long has a quick mind and will naturally have a way to deal with it when the time comes.”

Qin Shi Huang could only nod his head.

The next morning, Zhao Lang got up early on purpose, thinking to send his cheap old man off.

But to his surprise, the servant reported that his father had long since left.

“That’s too diligent!”

Zhao Lang couldn’t help but exclaim, he thought he was already considered diligent.

But when compared to his own old man, he was a dregs.

But since he was already up, there was no point in being idle.

He took the men and set off straight away, first going to the government to report that the manor house had been turned into a schoolhouse.

Originally, Zhao Lang thought that he would encounter some obstacles.

After all, it was a school, so there would be some censorship or something.

He was ready to use money to smash people, and if he couldn’t, he would use his identity as a thousand generals.

But to my surprise, it went exceptionally well.

The Great Qin official in charge only gave him a slightly strange look, collected some money and got the job done.

Finding the opportunity to use the money to pry open the mouth of a minor official, he realised that his kind of school belonged to a clan school private school.

No one cared at all.

Only then did Zhao Long realise that he had taken the initiative to send himself to the door and become an ingrate.

All right, the government reported it, and it was a way to buy peace of mind.

When this was settled, it was already noon.

Zhao Long went straight towards the place he had agreed with the Gong Yang school before, the same place where they usually did their studies.

Easy to find people.

Only when he arrived at the place, he found no one.

“Today is the second debate of the Confucians, and everyone is at the Xianyang Academy.”

Or someone at the door reminded them.

Zhao Lang said thanks and then led the men towards Xianyang Academy.

Yet there was no great hurry, the debate should have been almost finished by now, given the time.

And he wasn’t too interested in the second debate either.

As he walked slowly along to the entrance of Xianyang Academy, he heard a burst of applause.

It seemed that someone had delivered another high-minded speech.

Zhao Lang was about to find a place to rest and wait for the debate to finish before going to those rams and Confucians.

Then he saw a group of Dharma disciples, rushing towards the academy in an aggressive manner.

Looking at the person at the head of the group, Zhao Lang’s expression moved slightly, wasn’t this Gao?
