Through Time Chapter 277

After looking after Uncle Jo for a little while.

Zhao Lang didn’t pay too much attention.

Anyway, the house was now made of chairs with reclining seats, so even if he fell, there was no big problem.

After giving Zhao Gao a disgusted look, Qin Shi Huang continued to speak to Zhao Lang in a pleasant manner, saying

“Long’er, do you think so highly of these two?”

Zhao Lang nodded his head, he still held Meng Tian and Meng Yi, the two twin stars of the Great Qin, in the highest regard.

“Meng Tian was stationed at the northern frontier, one man deployed 300,000 troops to defeat the Xiongnu and deter the Eastern Hu, Yue Clan, Qiang and Goguryeo ministries.”

“The amount of effort required was enormous! It is enough to see his talent.”

“It was not easy for Meng Yi to be in the middle of the deployment.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded as he listened, this was the first time he had heard Zhao Lang praise a minister of the Great Qin, and smiled as he returned that

“In that case, you are imperative for these two?”

“You are thinking long term now that the great task is not yet complete.”

Zhao Lang returned, at once

“Father, I’m not doing this for myself with these two! My son is doing it for you!”

Qin Shi Huang could not help but be stunned for a moment and asked, somewhat inexplicably

“For father?”

Zhao Lang nodded his head and said that

“Father, if that day does come, you will definitely be the emperor.”

“If we can get the allegiance of these two, one for the inside and one for the outside, great things can be done without worry.”

“My son, I can then dash around the world in peace!”

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang could not help but let out a laugh, and then said, without good humour

“How old are you? You’re just at the right time to be aggressive, and you’re already thinking about being a dandy?”

“If that day really comes, can’t you sit in that seat yourself and let your father and I enjoy our happiness?”

Before Qin Shi Huang’s words left his lips, Zhao Gao, who was on the side, trembled again.

He felt like he was going to be overwhelmed.

What was his majesty talking about?

Was he encouraging his son to usurp the throne at the earliest opportunity?

Seeing that his body was about to slump again, Qin Shi Huang gave him a fierce glare before he could barely hold on to the handle of the chair to keep himself from making a sound.

Not to mention, the chair worked quite well.

Zhao Lang then skimmed his lips and returned.

“Father, there is actually no point in being the emperor.”

Qin Shi Huang was directly confused for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly that

“Long’er, you say that being an emperor is meaningless?”

Who in the whole world, but all characters with some ambition, have not fantasized in their hearts that they could one day become an emperor?

Enjoying the admiration of all the people, and the supreme power.

Zhao Lang nodded his head and returned.

“Father, although your current position cannot be compared to that of the Emperor, you are still a businessman.”

“Let me ask, when you are busy, do you get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog and do more than a cow?”

Qin Shi Huang blinked, what Zhao Lang said was not bad.

He now dared not slacken off in the slightest, day and night, and the actual situation was even a little more exaggerated than what Zhao Lang’s had said.

But what kind of words are these? Can’t you use a few better words?

But at this time, of course, he would not just agree with the other party, so he returned dryly.

“Long’er, this being an emperor is hard work, but there are times to enjoy it.”

“The best things in the world are at your disposal.”

At the mention of this, Zhao Lang disdained it, and to be honest, just with the current production level of the Great Qin.

Even if it was Qin Shi Huang, he could enjoy some material conditions that were not necessarily as good as those enjoyed by a well-off family in his last life.

Straight away, he bristled and said.

“Father, ah, just how do these people know what enjoyment is.”

“Besides, if the emperor really wants to enjoy himself, I’m afraid he’ll be scolded by future generations again.”

“Not to mention, if you do something wrong, you will be written down in the history books and scolded for generations to come.”

“No matter how you count it, it’s not worth it.”

After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang opened his mouth to retort, but he didn’t know where to start.

It was because Zhao Lang seemed to be right.

He had hardly slackened off for a single day since the moment he had assumed power.

This was even more so after the destruction of the six kingdoms and the unification of the world.

He worked diligently every day, planning for the ten thousand years of the Great Qin and for future generations.

But what did he get in return?

The alienation of his own family, the fear of his ministers, the cursing and hatred of the people!

The more Qin Shi Huang thought about it, the more he lost.

For a time, a trance actually appeared in his mind.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

Soon, Qin Shi Huang steadied his mind and said, with a slightly stern face

“Lang’er! A great man, born in the world, must of course do something great! More than that, he must plan for the sake of all peoples and all generations.”

“How can you be so greedy for personal gain and enjoyment!”

Zhao Lang gave an unimpressed oh.

But he knew that his cheap old father was right, the backbone of every era and race was held up by these people.

But he, asking himself, was not that great.

Looking at Zhao Lang’s tired and lazy appearance, Qin Shi Huang said, in no good humour

“All right, that’s it for today, you get a grip and find out who is impersonating your people.”

“Yes, father.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head.

This was something he was determined to find out, the farming family had only just started to develop and recover a drop of vitality.

If he really attracted the attention of the First Emperor, would he still be able to live on?

He quickly sent his father and Uncle Zhao back to their room, but for some reason, he always felt that Uncle Zhao was looking at him with a bit of resentment.

“Well, it should be an illusion.”

Zhao Lang shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind.

Then he didn’t go back to rest either, he had to wait for someone.

Yesterday, he had given the Technical Institute’s Mei the task of spying information, and now it was already evening, and he should have heard back.

He would not relax with the Grand Prince of Goguryeo either.

Just then, there was a sudden and abrupt sound of frogs outside the manor.

Croak croak croak.

Zhao Lang faintly stared.

It didn’t take long before another frog call rang out, seemingly echoing the other.

Soon these two frog calls grew closer and seemed to merge together.

Zhao Long suddenly revealed a smile and gave Xi and Tianyi a gesture not to make a move, then followed the frog calls.

Gingerly, he arrived at a corner of the wall.

In a direct and extremely sensitive upward climb, Zhao Long reached the gunhead and saw the outside of the wall.

Two figures were crouching there, whispering and

“Go to hell brother, have you found the family head?”

“No, what’s the hurry?”

“It’s all your fault, you could have lost it all, you should have met up with the family head first before! Now, it’s time to go back to the village first, Big Cat and the others are waiting outside the city for nothing.”

“How should I know, this area is actually so big, cut the crap and hurry into this manor to have a look!”

“When we find someone, we’ll use the frog call as a horn!”

The two men nodded in unison, then got up and prepared to climb the wall.

But as soon as they looked up, they saw a figure, watching them from the wall.

The two men were startled violently, but the tacit understanding of fighting these days made them strike without the slightest hesitation, almost simultaneously!

One left and one right, attacking towards the figure on the wall!

Only the other dodged it easily.

The two still wanted to strike, and only by forcing the other back into the wall would they have a chance of escape.

It was then that the two heard a familiar sound that

“Is that what I taught you?”

“Where are the frogs calling at this time of year!”
