The palace of Xianyang.
Qin Shi Huang was looking with a smile at a document in his hand that
“Is this the money sent by Long’er?”
“Didn’t he say he would only send 10,000 taels of gold? Why has he sent 15,000 taels? And so many supplies?”
The negotiations with Goguryeo had been completed, after all, and they had been simple.
The Great Qin said what it wanted, and Goguryeo took honest notes.
It was very efficient and simple.
So, Zhao Lang money was sent over.
“Gongzi Long said that he had recently made a small fortune compared to the cross, so he thought of paying his respects to you.”
Zhao Gao, who was on the side, said cheerfully.
“Humph, I have tracked down the Yin Yang family for so long, and in the end he picked the fruit.”
Qin Shi Huang said in no good mood at this time.
A few days ago, the matter of Zhao Lang leading a fight with the other two families was happily reported up.
When Zhao Gao heard this, his expression changed slightly and he said that
“Duke Long is also, that night was so dangerous, and he did not know to borrow some men from you.”
“That Lord of Yin and Yang is so brave, what if there is an eventuality.”
Qin Shi Huang also nodded, then said with a bit of helplessness that
“That boy thought I was just a merchant, that’s why he didn’t ask for help with me. ”
“However, these men of his have been trained up to a point.”
The men of the Yin Yang and Zong Heng families are not weak.
But according to the happy report that came up, this time, apart from the Lord of Yin and Yang escaping, Zhao Lang could be said to have won all.
Zhao Gao returned with a smile.
“Although the old slave does not know anything about the military, he knows that all these men are the heart and soul of Duke Long, and everyone is quite expendable.”
“It is not unusual to have this result.”
Qin Shi Huang smiled.
“This boy’s method of training his troops is indeed quite effective.”
“It’s just that, after all, he still has some filial piety.”
Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was no longer concerned with the details, Zhao Gao only said that
“Your Majesty, then the old slave will put this money into the Inner Palace, and together with the proceeds from the sale of salt before, the Inner Palace is finally much fuller.”
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he couldn’t help but nod his head with some emotion.
It was not easy, the inner palace had been empty for some days, and in the most difficult times, it had to rely on the pit of his own son.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi Huang said with some emotion that
“By the way, send some money over to Hai’er.”
Zhao Gao was slightly stunned, although he was supportive of Zhao Lang in his heart, but what happened to Hu Hai, that also deeply sympathized, just not good enough to say.
Now, at last, Duke Hu Hai was finally able to see the light of day, and His Majesty was actually going to reward him!
“Your Majesty, how much is the right amount to give?”
Zhao Gao asked.
Qin Shi Huang thought for a moment and said that
“Just send five hundred… Well, it’s just that, a thousand taels.”
“Well, I’m not that cheap, and lest they say later that I’m generous to them.”
“Don’t you think so?”
Faced with Qin Shi Huang’s question, Zhao Gao blinked his eyes, feeling a little unable to open his mouth.
Saying yes was really against his conscience.
If he said no, he wouldn’t have the guts to do so.
Finally, he could only squeeze out a smile and say.
“What Your Majesty said is extremely true.”
Qin Shi Huang nodded in satisfaction and said that
“All right, hurry up and arrange for it to be sent there.”
At once Zhao Gao wanted to retreat.
Qin Shi Huang suddenly remembered something and said that
“The Goguryeo mission has already departed, give an account of the various places and send men to escort it along the way.”
“Lest Longer get him killed, now is not the time, well, they don’t have much oil left at this point in time.”
Zhao Gao nodded, then retreated.
In another palace, Hu Hai was lying somewhat bored.
There wasn’t much fun to be had in Xianyang recently.
He could only stay in the palace.
The others were busy.
Fu Su was now sort of completely hooked up with Confucianism and was spending every day with Confucian students.
Gao was pretty much the same, only with the Legalists.
Ying Yin Man doesn’t go out every day, he doesn’t know what he’s up to.
Just thinking about sneaking out and having some fun with Long.
A servant came in outside the palace and then said that
“Is Duke Hu Hai here?”
“By order of the First Emperor, Duke Hu Hai has behaved quite well recently, and is rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!”
Hearing these words, Hu Hai, who had risen hastily, snapped to attention and said, with a touch of incredulity
“What did you say?”
The attendant was a little surprised; he had just spoken so loudly and not too fast, so he should have heard him.
But saying it again, anyway
“In the name of the First Emperor…”
This time Hu Hai heard the truth and
“Father rewarded me with a thousand pieces of gold!!!”
He was about to get excited when he suddenly thought of something, suppressing his emotions, and asked, glaring
“Has Father rewarded anyone else?”
The squire hesitated and said.
“I have not heard of them.”
When Hu Hai heard this, he could no longer tense up and
“Hahahaha! Father only rewarded me with a thousand pieces of gold for one person! I alone!”
Hu Hai was practically in tears, sure enough he had guessed right, Father still had him in mind!
Seeing this scene, the attendant was also a bit emotional, but didn’t say anything more, and after having the reward put down, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hu Hai.
Both of Hu Hai’s eyes were shining with wisdom as he said.
“This prince has a favour to ask.”
It was a little late in the day when Fusu returned to the palace through the side door.
He had had a good few days, and after the Confucian debate, his reputation could be said to be the first of the younger generation!
After all, he had several great Confucian scholars behind him to advise him and refine his theories.
Now, even the Confucian chiefs could not touch him easily!
This is where fame comes into play!
Just wait for the day to explode his identity.
To shock this world of Confucianism!
He was now getting more and more fond of this kind of thing of hiding his identity.
Fu Su was thinking about something when suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him and almost crashed into him.
Fu Su frowned and looked, but it turned out to be Hu Hai, with several attendants standing behind him, holding something in their hands.
“Hu Hai, what are you doing in the middle of the road?”
Frusu said nonchalantly.
When he was at the frontier, Hu Hai was two hundred and fifty lords, and he was merely a minor guard.
But in Xianyang, Hu Hai was merely an imperial son, while he, on the other hand, was Duke Su, who was admired by thousands of Confucians!
The two men were not on the same level in terms of ambition and vision.
He didn’t need to care about that anymore.
But Hu Hai ignored him, but held his head high and spoke, saying
“Read!”
The attendant behind him sighed silently, then said in a loud voice that
“By order of the First Emperor, Duke Hu Hai has been behaving quite well recently, a reward of a thousand taels of gold!”
Hearing these words, Fusu froze slightly, and Hu Hai was already laughing loudly, saying
“Read it again!”
With just a bark from the attendant, Fusu left with a grimace on his face.
“Duke Huhai, that will always do.”
The squire said with a touch of exhaustion, they had been shouting for almost an afternoon!
Hu Hai saw a prince and asked them to shout aside.
Hu Hai also knew that he had gone a bit too far, but still whispered that
“Wait a little longer, Gao hasn’t returned yet.”
It was not long before Gao also returned with a smile on his face, only to enter the door and meet Hu Hai.
Before he could speak, Hu Hai held his head high and said that
“Nen!”
…
—
Outside Xianyang City, on Zhao Lang’s old manor house.
Zhao Long led the men back to the manor before they reached the door.
Suddenly, a white feather floated down from the sky, landed on Zhao Lang’s nose and then melted instantly.
Zhao Long raised his head slightly to look up at the sky and
“It’s snowing.”
Just before Zhao Lang could feel the emotion, a slightly serious voice rang out and
“Long’er, follow me.”
Zhao Lang took a look and saw that it was his own Mr. Kong, so he followed him honestly.
