Xiao He and the six messengers were arranged to welcome the guests. The thirteen horses were also arranged properly. Among the thirteen horses, Xiao He's date red horse stood out. Its limbs were strong and powerful, and its mane was thick and shiny.
"This is a good horse."
The bailiffs of the Supreme Court prepared excellent fodder for the 13 horses and led them to the stable for them to rest. After walking 1,800 miles, these horses were all tired.
After Xiao He and the messenger were done, the messenger received Li Che's reward and left.
Xiao He was wearing Li Che's clothes and looked a little restrained.
Although Xiao He was a famous figure in Pei County, he could not afford to wear silk. Even in Chu, which was rich in silk, the price of a bolt of silk was enough to exchange for three acres of fertile land. Moreover, silk was a precious gift from the emperor to meritorious officials. It could be seen that the value of silk was not comparable to ordinary cloth.
The clothes that Li Che had given Xiao He were as thin as cicada's wings. They were light, translucent, and exquisite. They were extremely comfortable to wear.
"Lord Li, Xiao He accepted the reward without merit.”
After Xiao He changed his clothes, he came to visit Li Che.
After washing up, Xiao He looked even more refined, and there was a sense of righteousness between his brows.
Li Che smiled." I didn't ask you to come here to be polite. Xiao He, do you know the laws of the Qin Dynasty?"”
"Lord Li, Xiao He knows a little.”
"Alright, alright, follow me."
Li Che led Xiao He through the corridor of the court and entered the library of the court. The library was very huge. It contained not only the laws and strategies of the six dynasties, but also the poems and songs left by the celebrities of the six dynasties and their biographies and experiences…
After Li Che opened the door to the library, Xiao He's eyes widened. When he looked at the books in the hall, it was as if he had seen countless treasures!
The library was very big, slightly smaller than the King of Qin's bedroom. There was a desk made of jujube wood in the library, and many ancient books were piled up on the desk in different categories. The library was surrounded by charcoal, realgar, musk, and rat poison to prevent disasters such as rats, snakes, and ants.
Xiao He loved reading, but the county officials did not have many books.
Now that Xiao He had seen the ocean of books, he immediately felt that his trip was not a loss. Even if he could not be an official, it was still a blessing to be able to study.
"Let's go, I'll bring you to other places to take a look.”
While Xiao He was reluctant to leave, Li Che closed the wooden door of the library and locked it. He ordered people to watch over it to prevent any fire.
Li Che took Xiao He around the Supreme Court. After visiting the library, they went to the interrogation room and the files storage hall. All the major and minor cases in Qin Country would be summarized in the Supreme Court every year. Li Che would personally investigate some major cases in order to reduce the number of unjust cases.
Xiao He followed behind Li Che, his eyes widened.
Xiao He had always been an official in the county. After all, his horizons were narrow in the county.
When Xiao He entered the Supreme Court of Xianyang City today, he felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything was fresh and shocking.
After taking Xiao He around the Supreme Court, Li Che stopped as he watched Xiao He and said,""If I keep you as a clerk in the Supreme Court, would you like that?”
After Li Che said that, Xiao He nodded eagerly and said,"" Lord Li, I'm grateful that you don't mind. Xiao He is willing to be a clerk by your side…"
"Good, good. I will send someone to bring your family to Xianyang City. In two days, I will report to the imperial court and ask you to fill in the vacancy of the official document. Although the official position of the official document is not high, it is extremely important.”
Xiao He was moved to tears and bowed,"Xiao He is indebted to Lord Li's system. Xiao He is conscientious and does not dare to betray Lord Li's kindness!”
"Alright, alright, let's go. I'll personally welcome you!”
Li Che and Xiao He came to the front courtyard of the Supreme Court. The banquet had been prepared.
Xiao He sighed with emotion inside,'How could I be valued by the president of the supreme court? If I couldn't share the responsibility with the president of the supreme court, how could I be worthy of the appreciation of the president of the supreme court?'
At the banquet, Li Che said to Xiao He,""You don't have to be so restrained. You must be tired after coming here. After you have eaten, go and rest. I have already arranged a quiet courtyard for you. When your family arrives, you can stay there.”
" Thank you, sir. I'd like to offer a toast to you for your appreciation…"
Li Che and Xiao He drank together. Li Che thought of the purple horse and said,""Even in Xianyang City, you can't find many of such horses. They are priceless. For you to ride such a horse here, your family must be very prosperous.”
Li Che said as he thought of this.
Xiao He heard that Li Che had misunderstood him and quickly explained,""Milord, you've misunderstood. How could Xiao He have such a fine horse? This horse was lent to me by a big family surnamed Lu in Pei County, and I didn't ride it for free. I have to do something for the Lu family…"
Xiao He looked at Li Che and thought,""Lord Li is in a high position, and the people he knows must be the elites of the Qin country. If he can help the Lu family get two marriages, I won't let down the Lu family's good intentions. Lord Li is the most respected one among the 9 ministers. If I told the truth about the matchmaker of the villagers, I'm afraid that Lord Li would look down on me…"
Li Che's interest was piqued when he heard Xiao He's words. What kind of important matter was he willing to trade a good horse for?
Back when Wang Ben conquered seventeen cities of Chu State, Ying Zheng was not even willing to give his horse to Wang Ben…
On the battlefield, a horse was the life of a soldier. How precious was it?
"If Mr. Xiao doesn't have any scruples, tell me, what kind of big family is it that is so generous?”
Xiao He listened to Li Che's words and finally told him everything that Master Lu had entrusted to him.
"The Lu Clan has two daughters, both of whom are beauties of the country. The eldest daughter is Lu Zhi, and the second daughter is Lu Wei…Back then, the Lu Clan fled from the Qi Kingdom to the Chu Kingdom. The two daughters have been dragged on until now, and they are no longer young. The eldest daughter is nineteen this year, and the younger daughter is sixteen.”
Lu Zhi!
Li Che suddenly thought of this woman.
This was a very famous woman. Her methods and strategies were slightly inferior to Wu Zetian's, but she was also the most powerful woman…
"Are the two daughters of the Lu family not married?”
Xiao He shook his head and said," No, the villagers don't suit Master Lu's wishes. You summoned me to Xianyang, and Master Lu came to find me, hoping that I could find a good son-in-law for him in Xianyang. So, I gave this horse to you…"
Li Che suddenly stood up.
If he had the support of a good woman behind him, he would definitely be able to achieve great things. Among the many women in the world, Lu Zhi was definitely the best. After Liu Bang died, Empress Lu took control of the Imperial Court and managed the Great Han Dynasty in an orderly manner. This woman was not simple.
