OK.
That brat.
They actually trusted Liu Ji so much.
They actually want to make him the governor of Sishui County!
However, I find that the boy's lament just now to be quite reasonable.
The Qin Dynasty at present.
Reform is imminent.
Hopefully, this brat will hurry up.
In my lifetime, I hope that the Qin Dynasty will be revitalized, instead of the current situation where only a few scattered changes are beginning to appear in the counties surrounding Xianyang.
"Bang!"
As soon as Liu Bang pushed open the door, he accidentally bumped into the First Emperor, who was deep in thought at the time.
"Excuse me!"
Liu Bang, who was overjoyed, had no idea who this extremely dignified guard was.
Back then, he could only see the First Emperor's entourage from afar.
They naturally did not know what the First Emperor looked like.
"stop!"
Li Lin, lying on the bed, seemed to hear the emperor's voice. He raised his head to look around, but did not find the First Emperor. Bored, he shrunk his head back like a turtle.
"What's wrong, brother? It was Liu Ji's fault for bumping into you!"
Liu Ji apologized again very politely.
However, he was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
The guard in front of him was a middle-aged man, not much older than him, so he addressed him as brother, but he had a very dignified appearance.
He was somewhat envious.
"You're Liu Ji, right?"
"good!"
"I... What a coincidence! Your Majesty has asked me to wait here for a man named Liu Ji, and to ask him a question!"
"Oh? Your Majesty also knows my name?"
Liu Bang was both surprised and delighted.
Surprisingly, he remained unknown in Da Qin for the first forty years of his life. It was only after he became a pavilion chief in Sishui Pavilion that he gained some local fame, but he was still insignificant in the entire Da Qin.
But these days, after meeting Prime Minister Li Lin.
His entire life changed dramatically.
Now that His Majesty knows his name, how can he not be frightened?
However, upon further reflection, his joy turned to joy. Now that His Majesty knows him, how far away is his future rise to prominence?
"Of course, your name, Liu Ji, is already known to everyone in Xianyang. Alright, enough of the small talk. His Majesty has asked me to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer truthfully and without lying!"
"Brother, may I ask you something?"
What is your opinion on the current Qin Dynasty?
"......"
Liu Bang was momentarily speechless. He didn't know how to answer. The question was too broad, and he didn't know what range or scale to use in his answer.
What if the scale is too large? Wouldn't that be a capital offense?
"What? Is this question difficult?"
"It's difficult. I think His Majesty is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me!"
"Oh? Is it difficult?"
"Yes, the Qin Dynasty is so vast that it reaches the four seas; so expansive that it has countless plains. The Guanzhong Plain alone boasts thousands of miles of fertile land, not to mention the others. Therefore, I believe that Your Majesty's desire to ask for my opinion on the Qin Dynasty is nothing more than a desire to hear some praise. Praise is necessary, but too much of it will become a curse before its destruction, and no matter how much it is recited, it will not be able to change its lifeless state!"
"What a curse before destruction! Liu Ji, have you seen through my identity?"
"Your Majesty, although I am not as clever as the Prime Minister, I am not a fool either. In the palace, the only people who can pass on Your Majesty's messages are the eunuchs who have been castrated and a few palace attendants. But among the palace attendants, where can you find a hero with the same majesty and dignified presence as Your Majesty?"
Liu Bang cupped his hands in greeting and expressed his opinion in a very casual manner.
It has to be said.
At this moment, the First Emperor found his words quite agreeable.
"You're quite interesting. I remember your name. Tomorrow, I will have someone deliver the appointment edict for Sishui County to you. Do a good job in Sishui County!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I did not mean it just now; it was an unintentional act."
"Enough, enough, I'm not that petty!"
The First Emperor patted Liu Bang on the shoulder, offered him a few words of encouragement, and then walked away with a smile.
Liu Bang was left standing there.
Cold sweat was dripping down my spine.
"My goodness, that scared me to death! I never thought he really was His Majesty. If I had guessed wrong, I probably would have been beheaded. Luckily, I was quick-witted. His Majesty is too intimidating, while Prime Minister Li is much more approachable."
Liu Bang muttered to himself as he left the palace, returned to the post station, took a cold shower, and finally calmed down.
It was late autumn at the time.
Anyone who takes a cold shower will calm down a lot.
Moreover, at this time of year, there isn't much of a greenhouse effect in Xianyang city, and the nights are quite cold.
As a result, Li Lin, who was sleeping soundly in the palace in the middle of the night, was woken up by the cold.
"Damn, what kind of weather is this? It's not even winter yet, and it's already this cold. What are we going to do when winter comes?"
He couldn't help but grumble.
Although there are two beds in the palace, the other one is opposite, he can take the blanket from the opposite side and fold it up to sleep.
Can.
The wound on his buttocks prevented him from moving long distances; otherwise, wouldn't the wound he had just applied the ointment for burst open?
That feeling is much more intense and refreshing than being frozen.
