Zhao Gao and Sima Jie walked out of the house together and closed the door outside.

There were only two people left in the room, Ying Zheng and Liu Bang.

Ying Zheng motioned for Liu Bang to sit down and speak, but Liu Bang was not polite and sat opposite Ying Zheng.

"Today, the widow came to you because he wanted to hear your opinion." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Liu Bang didn't think about it, so he asked directly: "But it has something to do with my brother?" ”

Ying Zheng was slightly startled and asked rhetorically, "How do you know?" ”

Liu Bang smiled slightly and said: "The grass people and the King of Qin have never known each other, and the only intersection is my brother Liu An, if it weren't for my brother, the King of Qin would not know about the existence of the grass people." ”

"Huh." Ying Zheng smiled, "At a young age, I still have a lot of minds. ”

"Dare to ask King Qin, is it a blessing or a curse?" Liu Bang asked.

Ying Zheng's smile stiffened, and slowly, his face became cold.

From Ying Zheng's expression, Liu Bang had already guessed a rough idea, but he didn't ask, just looked at Ying Zheng silently.

"Yes...... Woe ......" is simply two words, but Ying Zheng said it a little hard.

Liu Bang's heart sank, but on the surface, he was quite calm: "Please also ask the King of Qin to tell him, what a big disaster?" ”

Ying Zheng sighed and said: "It's a big disaster, it's a big loss, both public and private." ”

Then, Ying Zheng told Liu Bang a set of rhetoric to Meng Tian and others in Lishan.

In order not to irritate Liu Bang, Ying Zheng's speech speed was slowed down as much as possible, and his rhetoric was quite tactful.

No matter how high Ren Liu Bang's mind is, it is inevitable that he will not be sad and sad, but he lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and forcibly held back the tears that had overflowed the corners of his eyes, as if he was burying his sadness.

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bang, and his heart was also sad, recalling Liu An's voice and smile, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

After listening to Ying Zheng's story, Liu Bang was silent for a while.

After exhaling a long breath, Liu Bang said: "Since the matter has come to this, the grass people can only accept the reality, but I don't know, can the grass people go to worship?" ”

This problem is really a bit difficult for Ying Zheng, but if the hole of the fire eye has been sealed, and then make sure that Liu Bang does not see the two divine beasts, it may be possible.

"The widow has now ordered someone to set up a forbidden area there, if you want to worship, the widow still needs to make arrangements, after all, there may be gods there, and the widow needs to explore the road first to ensure your safety." Ying Zheng said.

"Gods?" Liu Bang said with some doubts, "Is there really any god?" ”

It seems that Liu Bang does not fully believe what Yingzheng said.

"Whether you have it or not, make more preparations, after all, it's not a bad thing." Ying Zheng said.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the Liu An incident, Ying Zheng wanted to send Liu Bang in to worship, and he must be fully prepared and accompanied throughout the process.

"Then I don't know, how long will it take for King Qin to go to Lishan again?" Liu Bang asked softly.

"Repair for a day or two, and then you can go." Ying Zheng said.

"Okay, then when the time comes, the grass people will walk with the King of Qin and go to Lishan to pay tribute to their brother." Liu Bang's tone was soothing, as if he had completely calmed down.

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bang and said admittedly: "Your brother sacrificed his life for the Qin State, and the widow will posthumously seal him, but after all, the posthumous title is an empty name, you are his only relative, what reward you want, just say it." ”

Liu Bang turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a little self-deprecation: "Reward? I'm afraid that it's a reward that I got in exchange for my brother's life, and I don't feel at ease when I spend it. ”

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Liu Bang with different eyes.

It seems that Liu An said that Liu Bang does not have to be rewarded is true, because he knows Liu Bang too well.

"You are not yet an adult, and your brother is the only relative." Ying Zheng paused and said, "According to the law, you can inherit your brother's property and even a title. ”

Liu Bang shook his head and said, "If it is according to the law, the elder brother's heirs should inherit his family wealth and throne first, not the grass people. ”

"But Liu An, he has no heirs." Ying Zheng wondered why Liu Bang mentioned this.

"Definitely." Liu Bang shook his head and said, "My brother has a son and a daughter, and he still lives in Chu State. ”

"What's going on?" Ying Zheng was surprised.

"Before coming to Qin, my brother was in PlaNet Rich, our hometown, and he was quite famous for his exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous and reliable drawings." Liu Bang looked out the window, as if reminiscing about the past, "And when he heard that the Xiangbang of the Qin State was recruiting the top craftsmen in the world to repair the treasure pavilion of the Xiangbang Mansion, he couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to go to the Qin State alone." ”

It turned out that back then, Lü Buwei was a craftsman from all over the world who was recruited under this pretext.

"Why can't he hold back just one treasure pavilion?" Ying Zheng asked with some confusion.

"Heavy money is only secondary." Liu Bang said slowly, "The real temptation lies in being able to learn and learn from the world's first-class craftsmen, which is irresistible for a craftsman who wants to go further." ”

Ying Zheng understands this mood very well, and the scribes in Wen Zhengju are not like this.

Liu Bang continued: "However, my sister-in-law doesn't want her brother to leave her hometown and make a lot of noise, and my brother refuses to give up his ideals. The two quarreled a lot because of this, and later, the sister-in-law actually threatened that if her brother left home and came to Qin, she would take the child back to her parents' house, and if her brother did not come back within a year, she would remarry. ”

"Oh? What happened? Ying Zheng is still quite interested in these private parents.

"Later......" Liu Bang paused, as if he was a little embarrassed to mention the old things, "my brother has a heart and actually divorces his sister-in-law." So, the sister-in-law took the child back to her parents' house. ”

"I see." Ying Zheng pondered this sudden change.

"Therefore, the one who inherits the mantle of the brother should not be the next, but the wife and children of the brother." Liu Bang said.

"However, why didn't Liu An say anything about his family?" Ying Zheng wondered.

"Why, could it be that King Qin, before his brother died, saw him?" Liu Bang asked suddenly.

Ying Zheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "Oh, no, it was when Zhao Gao was ordered to take back the family of all the members of the Jing family, and Zhao Gao only picked you up, and Liu An did not mention his wife and children at that time. ”

"Oh, that's right." Although Liu Bang said this, there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

"Exactly. However, why didn't Liu An tell the truth, was he really so ruthless? Ying Zheng wanted to divert Liu Bang's attention by asking questions.

"I don't know about that. I also asked my brother, and he said that it was good to stay in the Qin Kingdom, and if he invited the three of them to come here, I guess they might not be able to come. Liu Bang said.

"Well, the widow will send someone to find the mother and son, and they will give whatever compensation they want." Ying Zheng said.

"Good!" Liu Bang said, "In this way, I will feel at ease." ”

"But what about you, what do you want?" Ying Zheng asked.

Liu Bang shook his head and said, "I have already said that I will not ask for the reward of the King of Qin, if the King of Qin really wants to reward it, I will give it to the wife and children of my brother." ”

"Hehe, ambitious!" Ying Zheng praised, "So what are you going to do next?" ”

Liu Bang was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking.

"I want to travel around Daqin first, and then visit the nations." Liu Bang said, "I also hope that King Qin will make it convenient." ”

Ying Zhengwei was a little surprised and asked, "You, really decided like that?" ”

Liu Bang nodded and said: "Yes, I have decided to travel all over the world, observe the sufferings of the people, travel around the world, and taste the customs of other places." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bang with quite appreciative eyes and said, "Okay, since you have decided to study abroad, then the widow will support you to make some entanglements, and give you a token, so that you can move around at will in Daqin." ”

At this point, Liu Bang did not refuse, bowed down and bowed: "Then I will thank King Qin below." ”

"By the way, I heard that you are very fond of studying the art of war." Ying Zheng said, "How about the widow send you some more of the art of war collected in the treasury?" ”

Who is this again?

Although Liu Bang was guilty of a total in his heart, he said in his mouth: "King Xie Qin." ”

"Okay, you go back first, and when it is time to set off for Lishan, the widow will take you with you, so that you can go and worship your brother." Ying Zheng said.

"The grass people are retired." Liu Bang gave up his hand and stepped back out of the door.

Zhao Gao sent Liu Bang back to his residence near Jingyao, and Ying Zheng did not stay for long, and returned to the palace with Li Si.

The five ladies actually gathered at the gate of the palace to wait for Yingzheng, and they were all very happy to see Yingzheng coming back.

When Ying Zheng saw the five ladies, he was also happy and hurried, and seemed to have swept away the haze in his heart.

If you want a man to relieve his sorrows, it may be the most effective way to put him next to the woman he loves.

Back in the study, Ying Zheng briefly talked about the reason for coming back this time, and several women felt a little sorry for Liu An.

But more emotions were still placed on urging Yingzheng to give a prince.

Although he ran around for a day, after the lights were turned off, Yingzheng was alive again.

Early the next morning, Ying Zheng called Li Si in the study and recounted the conversation with Liu Bang yesterday.

"Sir, the widow wants to hear what you think of this Liu Bang." Ying Zheng said.

Li Si smiled and said, "If you don't guess wrong, the king is quite optimistic about him, and he still wants to take it for his own use, right?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "Mr. Mo Ruo, who knows the widow, yes, the widow thinks that this Liu Bang is a talent, but at his age, he seems quite sophisticated, in grief, he is also cold and awake, and he can also perceive the loopholes in other people's speech between the lines, such a person is really rare." ”

Ying Zheng and Liu Bang have been in contact for less than half an hour, but such an evaluation is already very high.

Li Si thought for a moment and said: "Liu Bang does sound like a talent, but it seems that he still needs to be experienced. If you look empty because of your high aspirations, it will also become a person's fatal weakness. However, it seems that he himself has this consciousness, so he will propose to go out to practice. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he said, "Can he clearly realize his weaknesses? And then can you deliberately temper it? ”

Li Si nodded and said: "This is just Wei Chen's judgment, but it doesn't matter if he did it deliberately or not, the important thing is that once he travels to the countries and has his own opinions, he may be a great talent." ”

Ying Zheng pondered what Li Si said.

Unexpectedly, Li Si added: "But since it is his own opinion, it is difficult to say whether it can be used by the king in the future." ”

"Sir, mean, this person is not very easy to control?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Perhaps." "If he accepts the king's offer, he intends to follow the king, but he refuses, which shows that in his heart, his own opinion has not yet been formed, and he will not submit to anyone until then." ”

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while and said: "Not accepting the reward can only show that he doesn't care about fame and fortune, but it doesn't mean that he can resist beauty, anyway, the widow also promised Liu An to find a good wife for Liu Bang, so it's better to start in this regard at that time." ”

"Hehe, the king's mind is getting more and more meticulous." Li Si praised from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why Yingzheng came up with this idea is because he was just infiltrated by beauty and surrounded by delicateness.
