Xianyang.
The entire Xianyang City was in an uproar. The aristocrats in the pass had received a piece of important news.
The First Emperor issued an order to find the handsome young man who had killed the Xiongnu King on the Hetao battlefield with the Juque Sword! Whoever found him would be granted the title of Marquis An Le by the First Emperor! Ten thousand gold!
Marquis An Le!
Who didn't want to become a noble?
Who would be willing to be grass?
At the same time, the aristocrats in the pass were even more curious about the young man's great achievements. Who was he that he could make such a great achievement in killing the Xiongnu King?
This contribution was enough for him to be conferred the title of king or marquis!
Apart from the nobles of Xianyang City, Young Master Fu Su, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and the others were also speculating. They were more curious about the identity of that youth than anyone else!
Left Minister's Residence.
Left Prime Minister Li Si muttered to himself.
"I've always heard that the First Emperor built Epang Palace for a woman. Then, is he the person the First Emperor is looking for…"
"Gigantic Ravager Sword! That sword was the First Emperor's beloved item!”
"Then, what is the relationship between this person with the Gigantic Ravager Sword and the First Emperor? Could it be that woman's son?"
"If he is the son of that woman, he can help him ascend the throne and establish a meritorious foundation!”
Li Si and Young Master Fusu did not get along. In Li Si's heart, Young Master Fusu was not the next Emperor because if Fusu sat on the throne, the first person to suffer would be Li Si.
Among the other young masters, Young Master Gao and Jiang Lu were too benevolent and might be bewitched by the eunuchs…
Li Si had been looking for a son he wanted to support, but all of Qin Shihuang's sons were not what he wanted.
Now that the Gigantic Ravager Sword and that youth had appeared, Li Si saw a new candidate for the Crown Prince!
Find the youth with the Gigantic Ravager Sword and find out his identity. If he was really the son of the Emperor and Afang, they could support him to fight against Fu Su!
When Li Si thought of this, he immediately ordered the servants to take 1,000 taels of gold to search for the youth!
……
Xianyang Imperial Palace.
In the palace where the Eighteenth Son Huhai lived.
Zhao Gao was holding the Qin law book and teaching Huhai word by word. Huhai was less than ten years old, so he was drowsy listening to him.
"Young Master, if you don't learn the laws of Qin, how are you going to govern the country? If you don't know the law, you're the biggest joke in the world!”
Who would have thought that Zhao Gao would dutifully teach Huhai the laws of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang Palace?
"Master, I feel so tired. I want to go out and play. I don't want to memorize!”
"Tired? Young Master, everyone in the world can say that they are tired, but you can't say that you are tired because you are a descendant of the Ying Clan. You bear the fate of the country on your shoulders!”
Zhao Gao tirelessly taught Huhai.
"Then I'm tired. What can I do? Do I still have to pretend that I'm not tired?!"
"Yes! You just have to pretend that you are not tired. No matter how tired you are, you have to smile. When have you ever seen His Majesty shout that he is tired? Isn't His Majesty tired of handling so many matters every day? But when have you ever seen His Majesty show fatigue?”
Huhai thought for a while and said," I don't think I've ever seen my father yell that he's tired. He always looks so dignified and vigorous."
"That's right, that's how it should be! You should learn from His Majesty. You have to be shrewd. Do you know what it means to be shrewd?”
"I don't know."
"The shrewdness of a person is to not show your emotions. You have to make it impossible for the officials to figure out what you are thinking, because if the officials guess what you are thinking, they will think of a way to deal with you.”
" Teacher, I think I understand a little. I have to pretend to study hard. That way, Father won't punish me. He will think that I'm studying hard…"
Hearing Huhai's words, Zhao Gao frowned and reprimanded,""Nonsense, I'm teaching you the art of an emperor controlling his subordinates, teaching you how to be shrewd, not teaching you how to deceive the emperor!”
Huhai shivered and said,""Teacher, I admit my mistake. Please continue.”
"As an emperor, you need to observe people's expressions, because a minister only needs to guess a person's thoughts, and an emperor not only needs to guess the civil and military officials of the court, but also the foundation of the world.”
" The emperor must have the art of checks and balance, the art of controlling his subjects. He must not let his subjects guess what he is thinking, but he must see through his subjects 'thoughts…"
Zhao Gao had never been a mediocre person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the Zhongche Prefecture Token!
He would not be put in an important position by Qin Shihuang.
……
In the old land of Chu.
Pei County.
Zhao Mu and Xiao He were drinking in the Sishui wine shop. They had already drunk ten bowls of wine.
The more the two talked, the more congenial they became. Xiao He always thought that being a bosom friend was just a good talk. He had never had a bosom friend and he couldn't understand the friendship between Yu Bo Ya and Zhong Zi Qi.
He had never experienced Zhong Zi Qi's death, Yu Bo Ya breaking the strings and never playing the zither again.
Everyone knew that Xiao He was a county official. In the eyes of the people of Pei County, Xiao He was Lord Xiao…
However, who knew what Xiao He's ambition was?
Was a county official really a place for dragons and tigers to live?
Xiao He was helpless!
He did not have a noble background!
And no one recommended him!
What could he do?
Even though he had monstrous abilities, he could only be a county official in a small county!
There weren't many customers in the tavern. Zhao Mu raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He drew his sword and sang loudly,"The wind rises and the clouds fly! I'll return to my hometown!"
Xiao He suddenly stood up with tears in his eyes."Who doesn't want to be successful and return to their hometown?”
"Who doesn't want to live a life of adventure?”
Xiao He looked at Zhao Mu. He finally understood how touched Yu Bo Ya was!
With such a bosom friend in life, he would no longer be lonely!
Zhao Mu looked at Xiao He and smashed his cup. Are you willing to go to Xianyang with me? This trip to Xianyang is extremely dangerous. You might die, but I guarantee that you will have an exciting life! When you're old, you won't let down this glory!”
Xiao He downed the liquor in his cup."High five oath! This time to Xianyang! He was not afraid of the abyss! I'm not afraid of danger. I'll fight to the death!"
Xiao He's palm and Zhao Mu's palm collided.
The people of Chu kept their promise and made an oath.
Once the oath is made, it will not change for thousands of years!
Zhao Mu and Xiao He stayed in the tavern and drank until late into the night. After they were drunk, they staggered back to Pei County's government office and fell asleep.
The next day.
Zhao Mu sobered up from his drunken stupor and was surprised to see a system notification.
After Zhao Mu opened the system, he was surprised to find that the internal affairs column had appeared in the system.
Xiao He's name appeared in the internal affairs column.
Xiao He had already treated Zhao Mu as his lord and confidant. He was willing to follow Zhao Mu to Xianyang and do something spectacular!
Zhao Mu looked at Xiao He, who was still sleeping soundly beside him, and smiled widely!
He was not afraid of Li Si and the others scheming against him when he went to Xianyang this time!
I already have the best strategist in the world in my hands!
Bang bang!
At this moment, outside the Pei County government office, someone sounded the bell and drum.
A bailiff ran in in a panic."Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao, wake up! Something big has happened! Liu Ji, the chief of the Sishui Pavilion, almost broke the Dengwen Drum!”
