"Your Majesty has arrived."

"Your Majesty for 10,000 years, Great Qin for 10,000 years."

The three people who were originally talking were suddenly startled by the sound outside, and they all hurriedly got up.

Xiao He took the two of them and opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, he saw Ying Zheng slowly walking down from the luxurious imperial palace.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Xiao He and the three shouted in unison.

"No."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and his expression made people unable to see joy, anger and sorrow.

The three of them straightened up as if they had been amnestied, but they kept their heads down and stood in place, at a loss.

"I'm in front of your mansion, won't I be invited in for a drink?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He who was in a daze, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone.

"Minister, this is exactly what I mean, but the humble house is shabby, and I am only afraid of tarnishing His Majesty's Ten Thousand Vehicles, so I hesitate."

Xiao He hurriedly smiled, and said in a respectful tone.

"Back then, I was hostage in Handan, and I lived much worse than you."

Ying Zheng showed a look of remembrance, and then walked towards the door.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Xiao He hurriedly stepped aside, and said in admiration.

Although what I just said was just a humble remark.

But this high-ranking emperor is His Majesty the Emperor, but he does not have the slightest domineering posture.

On the contrary, an understatement made him seem very approachable.

A group of guards just wanted to enter, but they heard Ying Zheng, who was slowly moving forward, say: "All of them are waiting here." ”

"Whoa."

All the armor soldiers immediately stood by in place, standing straight, like statues, motionless.

After waiting for Ying Zheng and Xiao He to enter the mansion, Meng Yi looked at the closed door and showed a contemplative expression.

"Surround this house so that not even a bird is allowed to fly over it."

"Send the armor to block all the nearby streets, let the secret guards set up hidden stakes, and once they find suspicious and dangerous people, they will have the right to cut them first and then play them."

"Your Majesty is responsible for the society, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, otherwise we will all be responsible for all our deaths."

Meng Yi is the commander of Lang Zhong, the palace guard, and the janitarian guard, all of which are coordinated by him.

"Whoa."

Several generals immediately received orders and went to arrange fortifications.

After Ying Zheng entered Xiao He's mansion, it was like a leisurely walk, wandering around.

Xiao He and the three of them could only follow closely, although their hearts were full of doubts, they didn't dare to ask.

"Where does Xiao Qing read on weekdays?"

Ying Zheng asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, please come here."

Although Xiao He didn't know why, he could only lead the way honestly.

After coming to a simple, but very clean and elegant small room, Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips and books on the wooden case, walked over unceremoniously, and sat down.

Then I picked up a roll and read it.

Xiao He and the three of them stood aside and waited, looking at each other, and they all saw the dazedness in each other's eyes.

After flipping through several scrolls of bamboo slips in a row, Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He who was standing aside and said, "Xiao Qing seems to have studied Huang Lao's technique. ”

"Minister, it's just an occasional curiosity, not a study. I heard that His Majesty is a scholar of heaven and man, proficient in various academics, and knowledgeable, and the ministers are far inferior to His Majesty. ”

Xiao He was extremely humble, and in his speech, he did not hide his compliments to Ying Zheng.

"It is true that the academic scholars have practiced, but they have learned the form, but not the method."

"Many people can't integrate one of these academics in their lifetime, and I'm just an ordinary person after all!"

Ying Zheng was very calm, and did not slap his swollen face and become fat.

"Your Majesty, controlling the talents and serving the country is the way of the holy king. There is no need to bow down to everything, and be good at the heads of hundreds of families. ”

Xiao He thought about it and said to Ying Zheng.

"What Xiao Qing said is indeed reasonable."

Ying Zheng couldn't deny it, and he naturally understood what Xiao He meant.

It's as if the overseer doesn't have to know all the craft, but just needs to let the craftsmen do their jobs well, and soon a splendid palace can rise from the ground.

The same is true for governing the country, everything in the world, if the king has to understand everything and know everything, then what else do the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty do?

Let these ministers work hard and perform their duties well, and then the world will be prosperous and healthy.

If the overseer is incompetent, and the craftsman cuts corners and slacks off, then even if the palace is barely built, it will not be able to withstand the slightest wind and rain, and it will soon collapse.

The same is true of the country, where the courtiers are corrupt and corrupt, and in the long run, no matter how strong the country is, it will eventually be eaten by these moths.

Over the years, his health has deteriorated, he has been deprived of everything, and he has worked hard to deal with the government.

On the other hand, these ministers are all full of red faces, and they can't just let themselves be tired and half dead in the future, and they will be leisurely.

It is imperative to reorganize the imperial court, and to properly delegate power, it is only necessary to guard the last pass.

I tired myself to death, they are good, they all kneel to welcome the new dynasty one by one, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

I want to be healthy, I want to live well, and I want to exhaust them.

Well!

After Ying Zheng figured it out, his eyes changed when he looked at Xiao He.

Xiao He felt a chill down his spine, how could His Majesty's vision be so penetrating?

Did you say something wrong?

"You two get out."

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Ji and Cao Shen behind Xiao He, and waved his hand.

Liu Ji and Cao Shen glanced at each other, smiling bitterly in their hearts, but they could only bow down and say, "Obey the order." ”

After speaking, the two left the study with some loss.

This is His Majesty the First Emperor!

Maybe this is the only time in this life that I have been so close to His Majesty the First Emperor!

After Ying Zheng saw Liu Ji and the two leaving, the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

Coincidentally, he happened to be caught by Xiao He, and his heart suddenly cooled a little.

Your Majesty's smile is so ......

Ahem!

What are you wondering about?

How can you blaspheme Your Majesty's Ten Thousand Vehicles?

"Xiao He, I'll not tell you, I came this time, there are two things."

"First of all, I know that you will be leaving for the Huiji early tomorrow morning, so I will practice it for you!

"Second, Daqin needs talents like you, so I hope you can recommend a few good talents to serve the country and ask for your life for the people."

Ying Zheng went straight to the point and said to Xiao He.

"How can the minister be virtuous, there is no size in the country, and His Majesty has not offered a single strategy. How dare you bother Your Majesty's holy drive, only thank Your Majesty for your heavenly grace......"

Xiao He was moved with a nose and tears, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Okay, don't be sour, I'm most afraid of such a sour scene."

"I'm here, Xiao Qing won't let me come to visit, right?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He Dao with a smile.

Xiao He's voice suddenly stopped and paused for a while.

Your Majesty, this is the drunkard's intention not to drink, it is false to practice for himself, and it is true that he came to dig people, right?

"Your Majesty, Pei County Prison Peng Cao Shen, on the horse can determine the trouble of the border pass, and when you get off the horse, you can guard the peace of one side, and you are a civil and military all-rounder. If you just manage a prison, it's really too big to be useful. ”

Xiao He did not hesitate to recommend Cao Shen to Yingzheng, and he knew Cao Shen's talent best.

"Really?"

Ying Zheng did not directly agree, but asked rhetorically.

"The minister is willing to use his life as a guarantee, if Cao Shen does not have the talent that the minister said, the minister is willing to sacrifice the head of the Xiang Shang to repay His Majesty's kindness."

Xiao He was categorical, and for the sake of his friends, he even blocked his life.

Although Xiao He acted cautiously and cautiously all his life, he was confident that he had not seen the wrong person for his friend Cao Shen.

Cao Shen is not weak in his knowledge, and he is far better than himself in terms of the art of war and strategy.

Maybe Cao Shen is not as good as the world-famous general Wang Qian, but he has the style of a general.

If you want to command thousands of troops, the most difficult thing is not the art of war and strategy, but the natural affinity of some people.

This talent is innate, and he can convince people.

In Cao Shen, Xiao He sensed this talent.

"Cao Shen is the Great Qin Prison Peng, if he really has talent, the imperial court has school achievements every year, why can't he be promoted?"

In fact, this is the main purpose of Yingzheng's coming here today, since he wants to reform and reorganize the imperial court, it is natural to know where the shortcomings of the operation of the imperial court are, so that he can prescribe the right medicine.

Why can't officials like Xiao He and Cao Shen, who are capable and in the system, never be promoted?

Many things, Ying Zheng has repeatedly thought about the reasons, but he still wants to hear it with his own ears.

Sure enough, hearing Ying Zheng's question, Xiao He felt a tremor in his heart, and he hesitated a little.

To say or not to say?

said that he would inevitably be hostile to the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty.

But if you don't say it, it is not only the crime of deceiving the king, but Your Majesty is afraid that your Majesty will also have an impression of yourself in your heart, which will greatly change.

Although Xiao He believes in the way of inaction, he does everything.

The view of the practitioner is also in the world, and the beginning of the observation of things must be judged.

The name of the sentence has been decided, there is a place for rebellion, there is a place for life and death, and there is a place for survival and death.

Xiao He knew very well that he had no choice but to stand beside His Majesty, so that he could have the opportunity to show what he had learned in his life.
