The splendid and magnificent Qin Palace.

As the sky darkens, the lights and candles have been lit everywhere, illuminating the space in the main hall as if it were day.

Several rows of six-foot-high bronze lamp stands are placed on both sides of the hall, and their shapes are mostly dragon or bird-shaped, which is very exquisite and luxurious.

As the candle flame burned, a strange aroma spread around.

It is said that this is a rare spice obtained after hunting big fish in the sea in the coastal counties of Qidi, which has the effect of refreshing the mind and making people concentrate.

In the words of those monks, cultivating in the fragrance of this thing can also better comprehend the aura of heaven and earth, which is very precious.

The First Emperor often used this thing to cultivate, and he used this good thing in this family banquet, which shows the joy in his heart.

Tonight's family banquet was held because Zhao Tuo was happy to destroy Xi'ou in the south.

The great hero Zhao Tuo is not there, and Zhao Tuo's children naturally become the key characters of this family banquet.

Among them, Zhao Che, who was newly promoted to the left chief, was the most eye-catching.

From the first emperor to all the sons and princesses, their eyes fell on him, and their attention far exceeded that of the emperor Sun Qiming.

Zhao Che was only eight years old, but he behaved like he promised Yingyin Yan before entering the palace, speaking and behaving politely and politely, and there was no sign of being out of line.

Not only that, Zhao Che even generously and decently recited a poem to the First Emperor at the banquet.

"He Mingming, Wang Mingqing, Nanzhong Ancestor, Master Imperial Father. Rectify my six divisions to repair my Rong. Both respect and precept, benefit the southern country ......"

This is a poem praising Zhou Tianzi's expedition to the southern barbarians and his return from a great victory, and the poem focuses on praising the majesty of the king and his great martial arts.

For example, sentences such as "Hehe has a great industry, there is a strict son of heaven" and "the merit of the son of heaven, the Quartet is equal" and other sentences are even more naked sycophants.

When Zhao Che recited the poem in its entirety in front of everyone in his still immature voice, the crown prince Fusu and all the sons knew what they had to do.

"The general pacified Xiou, and my Qin State will take revenge and expand the territory. Congratulations to the father. ”

"The son congratulates his father on subduing the barbarians from all directions and establishing an unprecedented feat."

All the sons congratulated each other, and the sycophants did not fall behind Zhao Che.

Gongzi Hu Hai even said a lump of fleshy words loudly, and the sycophants were layered on top of each other, which was breathtaking.

Even Li Shu muttered in Qiming's ear for a while, making the five-year-old Qiming stammered some compliments.

The First Emperor laughed.

Good words are never too bad.

Compared with the praise of the sons, Zhao Che's poetry praise with a child's voice is more liked by him, of course, there is also the reason why Zhao Che is Zhao Tuo's son.

"Okay, good back."

The First Emperor praised it, and then looked at Zhao Che jokingly and said: "Father Er's father used to make a bold statement in front of me, saying that the eldest husband lived in the world, was born as a marquis, and died as a temple food. Now he has become my Great Qin Lunhou, conquering the Quartet for me, and in the future, he will be treated as a prince, which can be regarded as a great ambition. I don't know what ambitions you Zhao Che has? ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Xiao Zhao Che.

Ambition.

In this day and age, it is something very important.

Although Zhao Che is a little younger, he can also see some clues from his ambitions.

The crown prince Fusu, the prince Hu Hai, the crown princess Li Shu, and even the Shang Shuling Zhao Gao, who was standing on the side of the palace, raised their heads and looked at the eight-year-old child.

Yingyin Yan was a little nervous, she never asked what her son's ambition was.

In case Zhao Che said that he was too small, he would lose the face of his old father Zhao Tuo, and he couldn't help but laugh and be generous.

But if Zhao Che talks nonsense, it will be even more troublesome.

"Che'er has studied with Zhang Cang for two years, and he is much more sensible than ordinary children, and he knows how to measure."

Ying Yin comforted herself in her heart.

Under the gaze of countless people, Zhao Che thought for a while, and said to the First Emperor who was staring at him on the emperor's couch: "Your Majesty, I don't remember what happened when I was a child before. But I heard my mother tell me that when I was a child, I threatened in front of Your Majesty that I would become a general in the future to fight the west and take all the good things from the west back to Your Majesty. Since I have said this, then my ambition in the future is to be like my father and be a good general of Great Qin. ”

"Zhao Che wants to make meritorious contributions to the country, and he wants to be the general of the expedition to the west."

Zhao Che puffed up his chest at this moment, and although his voice was immature, it had a certain kind of heroic spirit that made people shake.

The First Emperor was stunned.

Memories swirled back in his mind, and he recalled the incident.

That was five years ago, and at the same family banquet, Zhao Che, who was more than three years old, said in a milky voice that he would snatch back the good things from the west and give him a grandfather to eat.

At that time, he was also happy to say that in the future, he would seal Zhao Che as a general of the Great Qin's expedition to the west.

A smile spread from the corners of the First Emperor's mouth.

He reached out and picked up the brown sugar water on the table and took a sip.

It feels sweet in the mouth, sweet in the heart, and the whole person is sweet from the inside out.

"Well, I'm waiting for this day. You grow up quickly, learn your father's skills, and in the future, I will make you the general of the Great Qin Expedition to the West, and let you lead a large army to conquer the Western Regions for me, and defeat all the countries such as Loulan, Qiuzi, and Dawan to me! I have allowed this! ”

The forty-eight-year-old First Emperor looked at Zhao Che.

Eight-year-old Zhao Che also looked at the First Emperor.

An old man and a young man looked at each other.

It was a promise between my grandson and my grandson.

"What a Great Qin Zhengxi general, Che'er has the demeanor of a martial arts marquis at a young age!"

Fusu stroked his palms and praised.

"The ambition of a young man is beyond our reach."

All the princes have opened their mouths to praise, they can know the thoughts of the First Emperor tonight, so they naturally do not hesitate to praise them.

Ying Yinyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene, her son's answer was very decent, and it obviously satisfied the emperor.

In the cheerful atmosphere in the hall, Crown Princess Li Shu also had a smile in her eyes, and looked at Zhao Che and nodded slightly.

"Zhao Hou, the general of the Great Qin Expedition to the West, has good ambitions."

She looked down at Qiming, who was intently playing with a pair of ivory chopsticks.

"In the future, I will go and expand the territory for my son."

……

The banquet came to an end in a cheerful carol, and the First Emperor was very happy today, and before parting, he personally summoned Zhao Che to him, touched his head and said some affectionate words.

When it was all over, it was already dark, and the princes took their own leave and returned to their mansions.

A richly decorated carriage drove slowly on the main road of Xianyang, and the bell was crisp and pleasant.

Because it was night, there was no one on the surrounding roads to stop and watch, and it was quiet everywhere, only the knights of the Wugong Marquis Mansion followed the guards.

In the car.

Yingyin Yan changed the silence in the palace, she hugged her daughter who was already asleep, and smiled at Zhao Che who was sitting next to her: "Che'er performed well tonight, it seems that your grandfather likes you very much." ”

Zhao Che grinned and said: "The main thing is that Mr. Zhang taught me well, he asked me to recite "Chang Wu", saying that Wai Weng must like to listen to this poem, and sure enough, Wai Weng was very happy when he heard it. ”

Ying Yin said: "This Mr. Zhang is very clever, I now understand why your father must let you learn from him." In addition to knowledge, this person has other abilities. ”

The mother and son talked and laughed.

Zhao Che suddenly thought of something, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, how did I feel that I was in the palace just now, and my grandfather's face was a little black?" ”

Ying Yin Yan was stunned.

The scene in the palace came to mind.

She shook her head and said, "You're mistaken, it's because of the candle flame." ”
