Chapter 240: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"No!"
Cone Gu stepped aside with some regret.
"Cauldron, cauldron ......"
Before the person entered the house, the little sister fluttered upside down with two little short legs, flew over, and hung herself on her eldest brother's lap with great skill.
Zhao Ying laughed, and casually took his little sister off his thigh and put it on his shoulder.
Seeing her daughter, she went to pester Zhao Ying again, and Mi Ji couldn't help but say angrily.
"Come down, your eldest brother has been busy all day......"
Zhao Qi heard his aunt's words, but hugged Zhao Ying's head tightly, Zhao Ying stood up with a smile and looked at the several spinning wheels in the room.
"Grandma, you're spinning again?"
Mi Ji smiled and nodded.
"Anyway, I'm idle, I'm idle, find some work to do, and still pass the time-"
Speaking of this, Mi Ji suddenly remembered something and smiled.
"By the way, today your third uncle, fourth uncle and seventh aunt all came to the side, saying that they want to send the children from the house to us, study with your second brother and them, and ask you, can you do it-"
When Zhao Ying heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.
"It's all a family, what's wrong with this, since you're coming, it's okay to come, and you don't spend a few more dollars on the left and right - you go back and tell your subordinates to vacate a yard and open a school at home, and let people ask a few uncles and aunts what they mean, and if they are willing to send their children, they will all be sent over, and you can't just take care of the third uncle, the fourth uncle and the seventh aunt, and snub the other uncles and aunts......"
Hearing Zhao Ying's promise so refreshing and thoughtful, Mi Ji couldn't help but show a relieved smile on her face.
"Okay, then do as you say, and I'll get back and have someone ask—"
During this time, Zhao Ying has been thinking about how to unite the forces of the Great Qin royal family, but he didn't find a suitable way for a while, and it was a good idea to open a school.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ying added.
"If it's inconvenient, it's okay to put it in the mansion that my father rewarded me - anyway, there is no one living there, so let people vacate a few courtyards and open a special school, which can also increase popularity......
When her son said this, Mi Ji naturally didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed with a smile.
The two mansions on the left and right are not far away, so it is convenient to take care of.
Hearing that Zhao Ying was going to open a school in his home, and a group of friends were going to come over to study with him, Zhao Qi was very excited, and he was bold for the first time and inquired a few more words.
Zhao Ying didn't hide it from him.
"When the time comes, you can't just learn the study of legalists, I will invite a few more teachers - in addition to what you are learning now, things like arithmetic, geography, physics, chemistry and the like must also be opened - the art of war and the like can't be ......"
Zhao Qi: ......
The excitement disappeared cleanly.
On the contrary, Wang Nan on the side asked with some curiosity.
"Husband, what is the ...... of physics and chemistry?"
Zhao Ying was stunned, then he realized that he didn't pay attention for a while, and said that he slipped away. So he explained with a smile.
"The study of knowledge of things, during this time, I read through the classics, and I just figured out - they are all very basic things, and I am going to write a textbook myself, if you are interested, you can take a look at it first......"
Speaking of this, my heart suddenly moved.
"If you want, you can also go to the academy and become a gentleman......"
When Wang Nan heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
The chick pecked at the rice and nodded again and again. Yueji, who was looking at the side, couldn't help but show a look of envy in her eyes, and Zhao Ying smiled when she saw this.
"Tsukihime, you are proficient in music, if you can't be idle, you can also go over and teach them......"
Tsukihime suddenly smiled.
"Thank you, Mr. ......"
On the contrary, it was Mi Ji on the side, frowning imperceptibly.
"W-that's not right......"
Zhao Ying knew where Mi Ji's concerns were, and persuaded with a smile.
"Auntie, it's nothing, the Weiyang girls of the Taiwei family have all done the co-ordination, and the daughters of our family have to be a gentleman, what's there, besides, it's in their own school, and they teach their own brothers and sisters......"
Although I think it's a little inappropriate, since my son has said so, it shouldn't be wrong.
Mi Ji didn't say anything more.
Because Wang Nan and Yueji both got the promise that they could be husbands, they were in a good mood, and the younger sister Zhao Xi heard that the family was going to open a school, and her two sisters-in-law were going to be gentlemen, and they were also clamoring to go to the school to study, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite cheerful.
Except, of course, Zhao Qi.
It's a bit of a daunting thing right now.
Ah, it's going to be an extra class again—
Of course, everyone is in the right mood, and no one cares about him.
On the contrary, Zhao Ying, taking the opportunity of eating, asked him about his study progress with great concern, and took two small questions for him by the way. Zhao Qi suddenly felt that in the future, when his family opened a school, he might be able to stay in the school to eat and live.
It's actually good to be alone......
At this time, Mi Ji didn't know that her little son was about to run away from home.
Still nodding secretly there, relieved that his eldest son knew that he cared about his younger brother and had the style of an elder brother.
"By the way, when your fourth uncle and aunt came over today, they were inquiring about your subordinate Xiang Yu again, and I listened to the meaning of those words, it seemed that Wan'er had taken a fancy to that young man - don't worry about being busy, but also worry about snacks, go back and help ask......"
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhao Ying, who was about to go to the study, couldn't help but pause when he heard this, subconsciously reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and nodded helplessly.
"Okay—"
It's not that he didn't think about it, but that this thing itself is unreliable!
Who is Xiang Yu?
Originally, in history, the gravediggers of the Great Qin Dynasty!
How did Xiang Yu stay?
Of course, I forced myself to stay!
Moreover, he was about to throw him to the grassland to toss with Maudun, who knows what will happen in the future?
If this marriage is really done.
In the future, Xiang Yu will toss out something to make his cousin deal with himself?
Therefore, he intentionally or unintentionally downplayed this matter.
But this—
But people are in a hurry to get married to this family business.
It's a big head.
But now the fourth uncle Gao seems to be really concerned about this matter, and it is normal to think about it, Xiang Yu himself is tall and handsome, and now he is the champion of martial arts in the imperial examination, and he has been stationed and the last position.
Even from the bright side, it is still a talent personally cultivated by himself, the champion general, the county guard of Hexi!
Proper has a bright future, the best son-in-law candidate.
But I can't say it, don't look for him, it's unreliable, this product may overthrow our Great Qin Jiangshan in the future......
returned to his study, Zhao Ying pinched his brows and pondered for a long time, Zhao Ying's heart moved slightly, and ordered the people outside to call Xiang Yu over.
"Xiang Yu has seen His Highness, I don't know what His Highness has called me to come over, what orders he has——"
Xiang Yu entered the study and bowed his head honestly.
Zhao Ying sat there, looking at Xiang Yu who was honest in front of him quietly, and saw that Xiang Yu was a little unnatural all the time, so he said lightly.
"Xiang Yu, do you think that if your uncle suddenly rebelled on the side of Huiji, would it be successful?"
Xiang Yu: ......
Secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile.
"Can't-"
Don't say that this imperial eldest grandson has already understood the plans of his uncle and nephew and the county guard, even if he doesn't know, Great Qin has this imperial eldest grandson here, and he doesn't dare to say the word success now.
Zhao Ying nodded quietly.
"Then do you think that if I lead the troops to Huiji, how many people do you think will dare to follow your uncle against me, and your uncle will be able to resist me for a few days with the little men and horses in his hands......"
Xiang Yu: ......
Although he was very aggrieved, although he was very reluctant to admit it, during this time, after seeing the terrible methods of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, Xiang Yu still had to bow his head and say.
"No one in the world can stop His Highness's soldiers......"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying picked up the teacup, squinted his eyes, and glanced at Xiang Yu who was standing in front of him with a smile.
"I am the eldest grandson of the emperor of Great Qin, the champion general who is deeply favored by the emperor, and your uncle is a fugitive from Great Qin, and he deliberately rebelled, do you think, I, the eldest grandson of the emperor, should I send troops to sweep away your uncle's troubles for the imperial court......"
When Xiang Yu heard this, his face suddenly changed.
These days, he has been wronged and obedient to orders, for what?
Isn't that what you want to do?
"Your Highness, please raise your noble hand—"
Xiang Yu was a little embarrassed and bowed to Zhao Yingshen.
"As long as His Highness can let go of my uncle, Yu is willing to be His Highness's pawn before the horse, and let His Highness drive ......"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying nodded slightly, and said lightly.
"Now, give you a choice, either write a letter and ask your uncle to come to Xianyang, I will let the court absolve him of his guilt, arrange a mansion for him, and let him be a happy rich man, of course, if he is willing to enter the court as an official, I can also arrange a future for him......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying glanced at Xiang Yu, whose face changed greatly.
The tone was already a little solemn.
"Or, I'll take the troops to Huiji, go and meet your famous uncle for a while, and see how many catties and taels he has—you should know that I can't leave such a big hidden danger for my Great Qin Jiangshan......"
Xiang Yu was sweating profusely, and he was a little difficult.
"Yu is willing to repair a book, please - please ask my uncle to come to Xianyang ......"
After saying this, Xiang Yu almost collapsed to the ground as if someone had his backbone removed. With his intelligence, he naturally knew Zhao Ying's purpose of letting him deceive his uncle - ahem, calling Xianyang.
It's a captivity, and it's also a hostage!
But, what else can I do?
A sense of powerlessness that had never risen in his heart before.
If he didn't have an uncle, he would naturally rather draw his sword and die at the hands of this emperor's eldest grandson, and he would never give in, but he couldn't watch his uncle die-
Especially, when his uncle's life and death are in his own thoughts, he can't give it up.
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.
"Sure enough, the one who knows the times is Junjie, and I believe that in a few years, you will not regret your choice today-"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying pushed the pen and paper in front of him and gestured.
"Come, write a letter to your uncle, just say that you are in love with the daughter of the Gongzi Gao family, and ask him to come over to preside over the marriage......"
Xiang Yu: ......
But there's a good reason for that!
If it is really written like this, maybe my uncle will wonder why he wants to marry the daughter of the Gao family, but with his uncle's love for him, he may really come to Xianyang.
No other way.
Xiang Yu wrote a letter to Xiang Liang in front of Zhao Ying, according to Zhao Ying's words, and then personally reported his current situation to his uncle.
He was appreciated by His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, and was reused by the imperial court, and asked his uncle to come and officiate at the marriage for him.
Zhao Ying looked at it and put the letter away with satisfaction.
"Okay, you should also prepare, when your uncle arrives in Xianyang, he will prepare for the marriage of you and Wan'er......"
Xiang Yu: !!!!!
He looked at Zhao Ying with a shocked expression, but saw Zhao Ying nodding at him with a serious expression.
"Wan'er, what you should have seen is my cousin, who is noble-born, dignified and beautiful, is a rare good match, and being able to marry Wan'er is also a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"From now on, you will be my brother-in-law - work hard, with this relationship, there may not be no chance to be a marquis and a general in the future, and restore the glory of your ancestors......"
Xiang Yu: ......
originally thought it was to write a letter, but it turned out that it was not only a letter, but also a daughter-in-law.
Until he left Zhao Ying's study, he was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and he didn't wake up.
But he knew he didn't have much of a choice.
Even, this is already the best option.
With this layer of in-laws, even if his uncle comes to Xianyang, he should not be able to stand any grievances. And he probably really has the opportunity to be reused by the emperor's eldest grandson and even the imperial court.
Tsk –
The problem was solved.
Kill two birds with one stone!
I really have the potential to be a person and think - I didn't become a teacher in my previous life, so I was really blind to such an excellent talent. Zhao Ying sighed there himself, and then looked at the news sent from Tianxiang Pavilion.
Nothing special.
Because the hottest news now is himself and the First Emperor - ahem, mainly Zhao Mu, Han Xin and Zhang Liang are the news that they have come up with.
and the interspersed selection of talents for this imperial examination.
I personally approved it in the palace, so I don't have anything to pay attention to.
The news over there is quite interesting.
Between Yin Tong's dog thing and Xiang Liang, it seems that there has been a disagreement?
Although he cautiously used two suspicious words, this news still couldn't help but make Zhao Ying's eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a playful smile, if it had been changed before, he would have let them find an opportunity to add fuel to the fire, but now-
There's no need for it.
Xiang Liang is about to come to his own bowl!
Become one of the 120,000 households in Xianyang, of course, in order to show the importance of this in-law, and in order to protect the safety of this in-law, he, the eldest grandson of the emperor, has to give this in-law a personal guard, accompanying protection, and heroic.
Lingnan is still unfazed.
There was no news from Meng Tian's side.
On the contrary, it was the pious caravan that had begun to go deep into the Lingnan tribes, and the business was becoming more and more prosperous, and he got in touch with many Dong villages, and he was not able to get to know many leaders of various tribes, which surprised him.
After thinking about it, let him continue to work hard, and then told him that he must make small profits but quick turnover, operate in good faith, build a golden signboard of the eldest son's mansion, and then reward him with a grange outside Xianyang City.
He didn't expect that such a small person he picked up casually would bring him such a big surprise.
Although there is no news from the Lingnan side, judging from the development of the Qian side, the situation should be quite stable. Nine times out of ten, Meng Tian has basically mastered the situation in Lingnan.
