Under Gao Yao's lead, Qin Shi Huang followed Gao Yao to the backyard. Not long after, they arrived at the courtyard behind the restaurant.
"Alright, it's dry enough.”
When Qin Shihuang came in, Xiao Han and Lu Su were collecting paper in the courtyard. The weather was very hot now, and the paper was barely usable after being exposed to the sun for half a day.
From the looks of it now, these papers were still a little primitive, but it was already good enough that they could be made into paper.
Of course, he didn't know how to make paper. It was because after Fu Su acknowledged him as his master yesterday, he unexpectedly discovered that the system had opened the system store because he had become the Crown Prince's master.
He could exchange gold for some modern art blueprints.
Therefore, he began to collect materials early in the morning and spent the entire morning to barely make these pieces of paper.
Looking at the paper he had painstakingly made, Xiao Han felt a little proud.
His hands were itching for a moment, so he spread out the paper, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and directly wrote on it."When the dew grinds, a thick fog rises; Where the silver paper is dyed, a faint cloud rises.”
"Awesome!"
After writing two sentences, he felt extremely comfortable. Writing on paper was still more comfortable. Writing on bamboo slips did not have such a smooth feeling.
"What a fine jade dew mill, where the fog rises, where the silver paper is dyed, the faint clouds rise.”
Qin Shihuang couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Xiao Han writing a couplet on the white sheet.
"Eh? Aren't you the coachman from last time? Why are you doing business in my restaurant?”
Xiao Han heard someone praise him and turned around to see Qin Shihuang. He smiled and said.
"How dare you! This is the current emperor!”
When the eunuch saw Xiao Han address the Emperor as a coachman like Gao Yao, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.
What was going on with this restaurant? Why were they all so valiant? They even called the emperor a coachman when they saw him.
"In the Orchid Pond, I saw that you looked extraordinary. I didn't expect you to be the current Emperor. I didn't recognize Your Majesty. Please forgive me.”
Xiao Han bowed and apologized.
"You can't blame those who don't know. Was this paper? Can you let me try?"
Qin Shi Huang was quickly attracted by the paper on the table. He came forward to examine it carefully and was secretly surprised.
Although he was the emperor, paper had not been invented in this era. Using those bamboo slips every day was not only heavy, but it was also inconvenient to write.
Now that he saw such good paper, his hands naturally itched.
"If Your Majesty likes it, you can write as much as you want. Su 'er, take those papers over there.”
Xiao Han wasn't stingy and directly let Qin Shihuang use it to his heart's content.
Qin Shihuang took the paper and began to write on it. Not long after, he had written on all the paper before stopping. It seemed that he was still not done yet.
"It's neither cloth nor hemp, and it's extremely delicate. The brush can write naturally, which is indeed magical. If it can be popularized, it can indeed replace those cumbersome bamboo slips.”
Qin Shi Huang touched the paper, but he couldn't feel the material of the paper. He only felt that it wasn't cloth or hemp, but it was extremely delicate.
The feeling of writing was also very comfortable. He praised.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xiao Han didn't need to say anything and just praised him directly.
"Hahaha! Mr. Xiao, the last time we parted in Lanchi, you said that if we were fated, we could drink and chat again in the future. I wonder if it's possible now?”
Although the paper was good, Qin Shihuang still did not forget the important matter. He came this time to recruit Xiao Han.
As long as he could recruit Xiao Han, would these things run away?
"As Your Majesty wishes, Old Gao, go prepare a banquet for Your Majesty.”
Xiao Han had already rejected the invitation last time. Now that the other party had invited him again, it was almost time for them to sit down and talk. Naturally, he would not reject it.
"I'll go now."
Gao Yao immediately understood Xiao Han's intention after being reminded by him.
This was a chance for Gao Yao to perform!
They hurried to the back kitchen, while Xiao Han accompanied Qin Shihuang back to the restaurant and sat down at the best table.
"I've long heard of Mister's reputation. Mister Xiao is so young, but you've actually reached the peak of medical skills, martial arts, and the way of governing the country. It's really rare.”
As soon as he sat down, Qin Shihuang dismissed a servant and asked Xiao Han.
"Eh!"
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Qin Shihuang to be so direct. He actually asked him what he thought of him.
This question was very mysterious. If he answered it well, he would naturally get extra points. If he answered it badly, the average person would be beheaded!
"His Majesty unified the six states, pacified the Yue in the south, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and established the first emperor system. His military discipline is outstanding, and he can be said to be the first emperor in history.”
Xiao Han thought for a moment before praising.
However, through his micro-expressions, he realized that his praise did not give him any extra points. When Qin Shihuang heard his praise, he was very calm and even a little disappointed.
There was no need to say anything; there were definitely too many people praising him in Great Qin, and he was already used to it.
He had been pushed away by Xiao Han again and again, and his expectations had reached a level that ordinary people could not understand.
Therefore, he had hoped that Xiao Han would say something different from the others. Now that he heard this praise, he was a little disappointed.
Understanding this point, Xiao Han's attitude suddenly changed."However, His Majesty's construction of the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and Mount Li Tomb has exhausted the people and money. The people of the world should have recuperated after the war, but now they are all on the road to serve. This is the root cause of the plague!”
"Hmph, you mean to say that I was wrong to build the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and Mount Li Tomb? Do you know that you have already committed a capital crime?”
When Qin Shihuang heard Xiao Han's words, his calm expression suddenly changed. He revealed anger and glared at Xiao Han.
As the emperor, he was most afraid of others saying that what he did was wrong. Even if it was wrong, he could not say it. He directly slammed the table and stood up.
"Bang bang bang!"
At the same time, a large number of Qin soldiers rushed out of the doors and windows. They were all Qin Shi Huang's trusted aides. They were all awe-inspiring and filled with killing intent.
Qin Shihuang's action was a signal. One by one, they unsheathed their swords and pointed them at Xiao Han, as if they were going to kill Xiao Han at any moment.
"Whoa! This is bad! What's going on? Why are they suddenly so hostile?”
Gao Yao had originally brought out some tea and was about to serve it, but when he saw this scene from afar, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, Xiao Han was completely unmoved by so many swords and sabers. He was still calm and collected.
This Qin Shihuang was testing him, and this kind of test was a test of being in a dilemma.
If Xiao Han said that what you did was wrong, then you were finished. Saying that the emperor was wrong was courting death.
If Xiao Han said,'You're right, then you're still finished. You're beheaded for deceiving the sovereign.'
In other words, regardless of whether Xiao Han answered yes or no, he would be sentenced to death.
This was both a test and a form of suppression. His goal was very clear, to show the emperor's power of life and death, and to establish his authority as the emperor.
As long as one was smart, they would definitely kneel on the ground and shout that they didn't dare to do so. This would be considered as passing the test, but would Xiao Han do this?
