Planning for the Emperor's Throne, Recruiting Numerous Hiring Guests
The morning light was faint.
The palace maids and eunuchs were helping Qin Shihuang get dressed and preparing for the morning court session.
"How is Consort Li's condition now?"
Qin Shihuang suddenly asked.
The eunuch kneeling on the ground replied respectfully.
"Lord Ye's medicine is very miraculous."
"Now Consort Li is much better.”
"I believe that he will be able to fully recover in a few days.”
Qin Shi Huang's face was filled with joy.
"Zhen's Consort Li does not have to die, this is truly a joyous matter!”
"This is a joyous occasion!"
"This Tidas is quite capable. He was actually able to find the medicine to treat Consort Li and cure her plague.”
"Zhen will definitely reward him well later.”
...
In the court.
Qin Shihuang wore a twelve-tasseled crown and a black crown, sitting on the dragon throne above.
His gaze shot towards Tidas.
"Minister Ye's medicine is indeed magical!"
"Consort Li's illness was cured all because of Minister Ye's medicine.”
"Zhen will reward you heavily!"
When Tidas heard this, he knew that Qin Shi Huang had already received the news that Yu Shu was much better.
He had already guessed that this day would come.
However, he did not expect it to be so fast.
"Fortunately, I've already arranged for Gao Yao to help.”
Tidas's mind raced.
However, it was not obvious on the surface.
His expression remained the same.
He cupped his hands and said," All of this is because Consort Li is blessed to the heavens. That's why she can recover. I'm only doing my part."”
"Hahaha, my Great Qin Consort Li is naturally blessed!”
"Minister Ye has also contributed in saving Consort Li.”
"Zhen will reward you, reward you!"
Qin Shihuang paused for a moment before speaking.
"Bounty of ten thousand taels, a hundred hectares of fertile land, and five beauties!”
Tidas:
No promotion?
He was somewhat disappointed.
Now that he was relying on the paper business, he did not lack money at all.
There was no lack of fertile land, beauties, and jewelry.
Qin Shi Huang only gave him some treasures, beauties, and fertile land. He did not want to promote him at all.
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
Retreat from court.
Countless officials came to congratulate him.
"Lord Ye, congratulations."
"Since you have saved Consort Li, His Majesty will definitely value you even more. Your meteoric rise is just around the corner. Don't forget us in the future.”
......
Tidas looked at these officials who were fawning over him and welcomed them with a smile.
There was indeed no joy in his heart.
These people were all fence-sitters.
Today, he could be respectful to you when he was in power, but tomorrow, when he lost power, he could trample you under his feet.
This was the reality of power.
"Thank you very much."
Meng Tian suddenly came up and said.
Tidas looked at him in surprise.
After Meng Tian finished speaking, she left.
Tidas looked at Meng Tian speechlessly.
Couldn't this guy finish his sentence?
Tidas knew that he was thanking him for curing Yu Shu.
In the end, this guy was a pitiful person.
Because of his identity.
I can only have a one-sided love for Yu Shu.
From beginning to end, he did not dare to take even half a step forward.
He even mistook Yi Xiaochuan for his younger brother Meng Yi and poured out his heart and lungs.
He even wanted to entrust the Meng Army to Yi Xiaochuan.
However, Meng Tian had paid wrongly.
Yi Xiaochuan was not his brother at all.
Apart from Meng Tian, Li Si and his faction also went forward to congratulate Tidas.
He looked like he was flattering the emperor.
After returning to the Ye residence, Tidas entered the study room, and that fake smile disappeared.
He couldn't help but rub his stiff face.
"It's really not easy to disguise yourself."
He actually didn't really want the things that the Emperor had given him.
Of course, beauties were an exception.
There was no one who didn't like beauties.
However, what he wanted was not just gold, silver, treasures, and beauties.
He wanted more power.
Promotion!
They could even control Great Qin!
Only in this way would he not be at the mercy of others.
Even though these people were all sucking up to him now.
As long as the Emperor was unhappy, he would lose everything in minutes, or even die.
And those who fawned over him would also hit him when he was down.
From the beginning to the end, he was just a fish on the Emperor's chopping board.
Tidas wanted to break free from others 'control and control Great Qin!
He did not want others to ride on his head. He wanted to be above millions of people!
However, if he wanted to control Great Qin, he needed to make more plans.
First, he wanted him and Yu Shu to have a child.
Secondly, he needed to have greater influence in the imperial court.
Third, he could also push Gao Yao, the future head eunuch, to the top.
This was a two-pronged approach.
One of them controlled the Imperial Court, while the other controlled the Imperial Palace.
And after Qin Shihuang died, he would be able to control the entire court and the Imperial Palace without a single mistake.
He wanted his and Yu Shu's child to ascend to the throne.
It was only a matter of time before Yu Shu and him had a child.
It was also easy to push Gao Yao up.
The problem was how to gain more power in the imperial court.
"As expected, there are still too few people who can be used.”
Tidas muttered to himself.
Although he was currently on good terms with Li Si, Huhai, Meng Tian, and Fusu, they were all for personal benefits.
There were too few people under him.
There were too few people he could trust.
As for his position as Minister of State, it was only because of Qin Shihuang that he had a little bit of power.
One day, when Qin Shihuang was unhappy, he would take back this position.
He would have nothing.
"It would be great if we could recruit a group of death warriors.”
Tidas thought so.
Recruiting fearless and loyal men of sacrifice could increase the manpower.
However, most of the men of sacrifice were trained by rich families from a young age.
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to be a death warrior.
Suddenly, Tidas remembered that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many aristocratic children would recruit hanger-ons.
There were advisors and bodyguards among the guests.
In the past, Lord Pingyuan of the State of Zhao and Lord Chun Shenjun of the State of Chu had a large number of hanger-ons working for them.
"Why don't I recruit some henchmen to work for me?”
Tidas wanted to recruit hanger-ons because hanger-ons did not belong to the emperor, but only to him.
In short, the master's master was not my master, and the slave's slave was not my slave.
The hanger-ons Tidas recruited only listened to his personal orders.
No one else could command them.
These people were undoubtedly good helpers.
Tidas made up his mind and called the servant over.
"My Ye Residence intends to recruit talented people.”
"Anyone with skills who comes to seek refuge will receive a generous salary!”
"Spread this news."
"Here."
the servant replied.
Then, he went down to make arrangements.
Soon, the notice of Tidas recruiting guests was posted all over the streets and alleys of Xianyang.
A group of people gathered in front of the notice and started discussing.
"The Ye Residence is recruiting talented people?"
"Lord Ye is the emperor's favorite and also the inventor of paper making. It was said that this person made a lot of money by relying on his paper-making skills. If he could enter the Ye Residence, he would definitely not have to worry about food and drink.”
"Why don't we give it a try? Try your luck?"
"A butcher like you wants to go?”
"What's wrong with killing pigs? And discrimination? Maybe Lord Ye likes to watch me kill pigs!”
"I'll try it too!"
The news of Tidas recruiting guests quickly spread throughout Xianyang and the entire Great Qin.
Countless people wanted to come and seek refuge.
