Chapter 409 (Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!) The Mandate of Heaven is in Qin, where does the king get angry?
The torturer stroked his gray beard and smiled and laughed there.
This granddaughter, the more he looks at it, the more satisfied he is, but it's a pity that she is not a handle. However, satisfaction is satisfaction, and the torture can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, if this granddaughter is a boy, why do you have to worry about having no successor in the family?
……
Seongnam Guest House.
These characters with heads and faces in Zhangjun rubbed outside the door for a long time, and finally "encountered" His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, so naturally they did not continue to pester His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun and drink the northwest wind together outside the door.
"Your Highness also came to meet Huangshi Gong? The outside is not the place to talk, why don't we go inside and talk about it......"
Zuo Yong, the head of the Zuo family, who finally squeezed in front of Zhao Ying, saw the cone Gu behind Zhao Ying, and there was already a faint look of impatience in his expression, so he immediately took the initiative to propose.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun smiling and nodding at him, and a trace of appreciation seemed to flash in his eyes, and he suddenly felt happy in his heart and became more and more attentive.
"Your Highness, please—"
Seeing Zuo Yong, an old thing, opportunistic, stepping on everyone's head without saying anything, he even shamelessly turned sideways and personally led the way for the emperor's eldest grandson in front, and everyone couldn't help but secretly despise in their hearts.
I regret a little that I didn't take the initiative to start, otherwise how could I let this old thing get a head start.
"Your Highness, please here, please here—"
A few old guys around Zhao Ying also reacted instantly, turned sideways, and asked Zhao Ying, Zhang Liang and others to go first. Zhao Ying smiled and nodded in return.
"There is labor, there is labor, all the gentlemen, please-"
Like the stars and the moon, everyone gathered behind Zhao Ying and walked in the direction of the guest house. The scene in front of him made the people in the nearby shops who secretly watched this scene widen their eyes.
"I know the one in front, that should be the head of the Zuo family......
“…… If you are not mistaken, the one following outside seems to be the eldest son of the Zhang family in the east of the city......"
"What is it like, that is, do you see, the one in front of him is his family's Ah Weng, and now the head of the Zhang family......"
“……”
Everyone gasped.
That's the head of the Zhang family, a well-known big man in Zhangjun City, but now, he can't even squeeze inside, so he can only follow outside.
"What is the origin of the young man around there, who has such a big face......
Someone couldn't help but gasp.
"This old brother, I'm afraid you just came, if I'm not mistaken, the tall, strong and handsome young man among them is probably the current Emperor Eldest Sun His Royal Highness......"
Before the words fell, a man with a scar on his head picked up the words.
"Zhang Laosan, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, what seems to be, that is! When His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson entered the city, I was just on the edge and took a look at the roadside—His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson smiled at me at that time......"
"Smile at you, I want to rush over to be a dog for others, right, look at your virtue of being a bastard with light bones......"
The lively atmosphere in the store came to an abrupt end.
The man with a scar on his head who was still laughing at Zhang Laosan's nonsense just now, when he heard the words, he was about to get angry instantly, but when he looked back and saw who the old man who was speaking, he immediately became dumb, scratched his scalp, hid aside, and stopped talking.
The old man who answered and scolded him just now, He Lao Liu of the He family in the south of the city.
In the battle of Yan Ying, his eldest brother was killed in battle, and his second brother was disabled. In the battle of Handan, his fourth brother was killed. Li Xin and Chu, the fifth brother was killed by random arrows. His eldest son, in Qin Chu's last battle, was gone, and even the youngest son was lame.
Between this He Lao Liu and the Qin people, the enmity is as deep as the sea.
I held it for a long time, and I didn't know who it was, so I muttered in a low voice.
"You are so ambitious, you have the ability to receive relief food from others......"
It's not loud.
But He Lao Liu's face instantly turned red like blood, he got up suddenly, even his beard shook a little, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to scold, but it seemed that he remembered something, waved his arm, after all, he still hung down weakly, sighed, grabbed his somewhat shabby rice bag, lowered his head, and staggered away.
It wasn't until He Lao Liu walked away that an old man glared at him with some dissatisfaction, the young man who was muttering in a low voice just now.
"Han Laosi's family, scolding people does not expose shortcomings, and He Laoliu is not easy, don't always stab people on their scars when you speak......"
The man also seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and muttered something there.
"I can't see his virtue as if everyone owes him money - when he goes to the battlefield, is it possible that he can only kill people and not allow others to kill him? In the final analysis, everyone is not their own master, and if you want to blame those noble lords above, you have a fart relationship with us mud-legged people, what does it have to do with Brother Scar......"
"Forget it, forget it, it's not easy - He Lao Liu, it's hard enough to pull out a big family by himself, if it weren't for the charity hall, I guess they wouldn't be able to survive this winter, no matter how tough he He Lao Liu is, he can't watch a big family of children go hungry......"
These words silenced a room of people.
Do you want to say that you hate the Qin people?
Hate!
But after the Qin people came, everyone's life was actually better than before.
In addition to the more harsh and cumbersome laws, which made everyone who was used to being casual a little uncomfortable, the war was gone, the taxes were less, and the government also gave land, although it was not much, but it was really better than the original.
Although it is still hard, the family can live in peace.
"Our ancestors have been mud legs for generations, I don't know a big character, the day before yesterday, the big boy in my family, can write his own name, and also know the number, I followed the gentleman who went to the village to learn, Mr. does not restrain his belly, even the books are free, I can't pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to scold my mother......"
The man with a scar on his head suddenly stood up, lowered his head, and said with a blushing face.
"My mother is sick, I don't have money to get medicine, and I was treated for free by the charity hall of the people - I'm a bad person, I don't understand any big truths, and I don't understand what those big people say about hatred or hatred, I only know that people can't know how to repay their kindness, the emperor's eldest grandson let people save my mother, and taught my kid to read for free, that is, we are kind to us, we have to recognize ......"
Zhang Scar's words made the atmosphere in the shop silent again.
Similar to his situation, more than one family, many people's own children, or the children of relatives, are also following the Qin people's reading Mr. Reading for free, although he is just squatting in the open air to read, although he is just holding a branch on the ground and drawing with Mr., but isn't this a chance to read?
Before that, there was no such thing!
The policy of the emperor's eldest grandson after he arrived in Zhangjun is obvious to all. It's all visible and tangible benefits, unlike the nobles and lords in the past, the benefits have been promised a bunch of piles, and in the end, the actual benefits are not at all.
"If it is, the emperor of Great Qin in the future is the eldest grandson of the emperor, it seems that it is not bad to follow the Qin people, at least the children in the family can know a few words......"
This thought suddenly began to appear in the hearts of many people.
……
Zhao Ying didn't know that the scene of himself hugging back and forth fell in the hearts of the little people around him, and so many stories were derived. At this time, surrounded by everyone, he had already walked to the front of the courtyard of the guest house.
This guest house, although close to the south of the city, is a little remote.
But the area is not small, there is a very large courtyard outside, which can be used by merchants to park and park horses, and there is a restaurant that can be used for guests to eat wine and meals, which is a relatively large guest house in Zhangjun City.
The arrival of Zhao Ying and his entourage had already alarmed the shopkeeper in the store. Before Zhao Ying and the others walked to the place, they were already staying in the store, and they waited outside the door respectfully.
"Little old man Wei San, meet His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor, and meet all the nobles......"
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded gently.
"You don't need to be polite, we are here to visit Huang Shigong, who lives in your guest house, and to bother your shopkeeper to help pass on one or two ......."
"Don't dare, this is the duty of the little old man......"
As he spoke, he turned around and went inside to inform the Huang Shi Gong. Who knows, before he could turn around, he heard a gentle old voice behind him.
"The old man is only the old man in the first district of Huangshi, how dare His Royal Highness Lao and the sages come in person-"
Before the words fell, an old man with crane hair and a childish face had already walked out of the door of the guest house, and beside him, there was a stunning girl wearing a light yellow shirt.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying hurriedly took two quick steps and greeted him with a look of surprise.
"Boy Zhao Ying, I have seen Huangshi Gong, Xianyang farewell, it has been a few months, I hate not being in front of Mr., always ask for benefits, I never thought that I could meet Mr. in this Jiangnan water town today——"
Huang Shigong smiled and bowed in return.
"His Royal Highness has a good reputation, although His Royal Highness is young, but he is well-read and knowledgeable, and his talent is amazing, he is the only strange person in the world who has been seen in his life, and every time he communicates with His Royal Highness, there is always a sense of benefiting a lot, and he can see His Highness in front of him here, and he is also very surprised......"
It was not until this time that the people of Zhangjun who followed behind Zhao Ying knew that the famous old man of Huangshi and the eldest grandson of the emperor in front of him were still old acquaintances.
And listening to the meaning of the words of the two, the two are still friends for the year, and they still highly respect this emperor's eldest grandson?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but subconsciously look at Zhang Liang on the side.
It is no wonder that Zhang Liang, the vanguard of the anti-Qin Dynasty, would defect halfway and join the command of the emperor's eldest grandson, probably secretly getting the guidance of this Huangshi Duke......
Zhang Liang didn't know what happened to the group of people behind him, otherwise he would have to vomit blood on the spot.
Seeing that his master and His Royal Highness had finished greeting him, Zhang Liang hurriedly greeted him and bowed deeply to the old man of Huangshi.
"Student Zhang Liang, meet the teacher-"
The old man Huangshi looked at Zhang Liang, who bowed respectfully in front of him, stroked his beard, and bowed his head slightly.
"Get up, don't be polite—"
Zhang Liang straightened up and saluted Xu Cheng on the side.
Xu Cheng looked at him with a smile.
"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for many days, the nobility and blessing on your body have become more and more vigorous, and you already have the remnants of the descendants of the Shabu family, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you can recreate the glory of your Zhang family......"
Zhang Liang has always known that his little junior sister has obtained the true inheritance of her master in physiognomy, and there are even faint signs that she is better than blue.
But this was not the time for them to greet each other, so they just smiled and arched their hands, then looked away, and very consciously stood behind the old man Huangshi with Xu Cheng.
"I've seen Huang Shigong—"
It was only at this time that these people from Zhangjun got the opportunity to greet Huangshi Gong and stepped forward to greet them.
Huang Shi Gong bowed his hand.
"You are here, I originally intended to take the apprentices to travel and have a long experience, but I didn't expect to surprise so many elders to come in person, I am really ashamed......"
"You're welcome, sir—"
Everyone returned the salute.
His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun was still standing there watching, and they didn't dare to chat with the old man of Huangshi here, so someone immediately proposed.
"Sir and Your Highness, it is a blessing for us to be able to come to our Zhangjun - this guest house is a small place, I am afraid that it cannot accommodate so many distinguished guests, this place is the closest to the humble house, it is better to ask Mr. and His Royal Highness to move to the humble house, we drink tea while talking about how to ......"
Seeing that Zuo Yong, the dog thief, had taken the lead, everyone couldn't help but grit their teeth secretly, stepped forward one after another, and invited enthusiastically.
"Please also ask His Royal Highness and Mr. to go to our house, although our home is simple, but there is a garden, it is to invite the master to layout, inside the small bridge and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, it is quite exquisite, it is a famous leisure place in our Zhang County, it is better to ask Mr. and His Royal Highness to take a look......"
As soon as the head of the Zhao family finished speaking, the head of the Zhao family on the side squeezed forward and invited warmly.
"In my opinion, Mr. and His Royal Highness might as well move to our Zhao family, our Zhao family has nothing else to do, but it is rich in fine wine, not to mention Zhang County, even if it is the entire Jiangnan, if you talk about fine wine, there is no one who can surpass us, even the former Chu royal family, every time they drink and feast, they must choose our Zhao family's fine wine......"
“……”
What a chance!
If it is said that the emperor's eldest grandson can be invited to the house with Huang Shigong as a guest, the benefits to his family are almost self-evident, who wants to be taken the lead?
At this time, it is natural that everyone is competing to be the first.
Seeing that everyone was going to fight again, Zhao Ying looked around at everyone, then turned around, arched his hand with a smile at the old man Huangshi, and suggested directly.
"I often hear that the world's only wine and beauties cannot be disappointed, let's choose how the Zhao family ...... today"
The old man of Huangshi couldn't help laughing.
"Good! The old man has also coveted the Zhao family's wine for a long time. I remember the last time I drank it, it was still in the palace of the King of Chu, and today since the head of the Zhao family personally invited him, the old man will have the cheekiness to taste it......"
The old man Huangshi's words made everyone's hearts tighten subconsciously, and they secretly glanced at Zhao Ying's face, and saw that Zhao Ying's expression was as usual, and he didn't care, so he regained his smile.
"In this way, very good, we can just touch the light of Mr. and His Royal Highness, and taste the ...... of this Zhao Lao'er's private collection" (end of this chapter)
