In his previous life, he was an orphan. He was alone and relied on the state's subsidies to finally have the opportunity to study for a master's degree.
He thought that he could experience the love of a father and mother in this life, but who would have thought that it would still be the same.
Ying Tian couldn't help but wonder if he was destined to be a lone star.
He couldn't be an orphan in both lifetimes.
"Regarding the news of my Imperial Mother, have you heard Imperial Father mention it?”
Ying Tian took the teacup away, then ordered someone to bring over two jars of wine.
There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
'Qin Shihuang never had an empress' was the eleventh biggest mystery in the world.
Countless old professors had spent their entire lives searching for historical documents, but they had not found any.
"I don't know the details, but there are some rumors that say that when His Majesty was a hostage in the State of Zhao, he had a woman he loved deeply. Later, when he returned to Great Qin to declare himself Emperor, that woman gave birth to a son for him and died due to childbirth.”
"And that piece…"
Wang Li looked to see if Ying Tian was there, then continued.
It was obvious.
The child she gave birth to was Ying Tian.
"What?!"
Ying Tian was a little confused. He hadn't expected that this matter was related to him.
He also did not expect that his mother in this life would die to give birth to him.
He suddenly fell silent. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he could not describe what he was feeling.
"The people of the world call Your Majesty a tyrant, but Your Majesty has never had an heir in his life. All his thoughts are on that 'Emperor'.”
Even Wang Li sighed softly, touched by the First Emperor's feelings.
It was difficult for ordinary people to love only one person in their lives, let alone the emperor.
Qin Shihuang was not simple to do this.
"I didn't expect Imperial Father to be so infatuated. No, I have to set up a stone figurine for Imperial Father so that he can be worshipped by the people. I can't let my heart turn cold just like that.”
Ying Tian said respectfully.
Then, he told himself in his heart that he must not be a romantic…
* Cough cough *
He admired Brother Zheng, but life was so long. It would be disappointing if he didn't see a few beautiful women.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo sent a message asking if we need to send more people back to the city.”
Wang Li quickly changed the topic.
Only Ying Tian couldn't reject him. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't dare to say anything.
This was a major event that involved the First Emperor!
"No need. Just let that guy guard the Bai Yue. When there's a chance, I'll personally go over and take a look.”
Ying Tian's eyes flickered.
In the eyes of the ancients, the land of Baiyue was not only wet, but also full of mosquitoes.
However, in the future, the sum of that area was enough to match the entire economy of China!
As a coastal city, it had a natural advantage. In the future, it could be turned into an outlet for the sea.
Other than that, it could also be transformed into a base for the marines.
"By the way, I heard that your father, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, and Meng Yi, one of the Meng brothers, betrayed the country together.”
Ying Tian suddenly changed the topic and said.
Puff!
Wang Li spat out a mouthful of wine.
His hand trembled and the wine glass fell to the ground. He was scared silly.
The word 'treason' was as heavy as Mount Tai.
"Don't be so nervous. I've only heard rumors.”Ying Tian narrowed his eyes.
Soon after.
He continued,
"And Old General Wang. He claimed to have returned to his hometown, but he was clearly in the Wang Clan Residence…"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Wang Li couldn't take it anymore and quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense. My grandfather is unwell, so he has been in the mansion and has not had the time to retire.”
As expected!
Ying Tian's eyes brightened as he thought to himself. His guess had come true.
On the surface, Wang Jian retired and returned to his hometown, but he guessed that this old fellow absolutely would not leave so easily.
He didn't expect it to be so easy.
"As for my father and Meng Yi…I really don't know where they are, but they definitely wouldn't betray the country.”Wang Li's voice was resolute.
However…
After saying this, he suddenly discovered that Ying Tian was looking at him with a smile.
Oh no!
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled, but it was already too late.
"Help me pass a message to the old general. He is welcome to come back at any time. Don't stay in the mansion all day. It's not good for your health if you stay for too long.”
Ying Tian let out a heroic laugh.
After downing a glass of wine, he placed his hands behind his back and slowly left.
Wang Li was left alone with a bitter face.
What the f * ck!
His Majesty was too cunning.
If he accidentally entered, his secret would be exposed.
However, when he found out that Ying Tian had no ill intentions towards the Wang Clan, he let out a long sigh.
In the past dynasties, most of the new emperors would wash the court with blood and replace them with their own trusted aides. Very few would continue to put the old officials in an important position.
" I don't know why, but I always feel like a fool when I'm with His Majesty…"
A bizarre thought appeared in Wang Li's mind.
……
Late at night.
Xianyang City was completely silent. Other than the occasional chirping of insects, there was no other sound.
Ying Tian got into the carriage, and under the protection of the soldiers, he arrived at the entrance of the Shao Mansion.
He wondered how Zhang Han was doing.
Two hours later.
Ying Tian jumped down from the carriage and looked at the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but rub his eyes.
It was late at night, but the Shao Mansion was still brightly lit. One could hear a clamor.
Vaguely, he could see many craftsmen working inside.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me that you were coming so that I could personally pick you up?”
Zhang Han quickly ran out, his forehead covered in sweat, and his arms were bare.
He was carrying a sledgehammer on his shoulder and was fiddling with something.
"Not bad, Old Zhang. You're so deep into the grassroots, and you're still working personally with your status.”
Ying Tian wasn't stingy with his praise.
