"good!"
Han Xin took the two imperial edicts in his hands and studied them carefully.
After a moment, he said with a hint of surprise, "Your Majesty is ordering you to arrest all the remnants of the six kingdoms in Xianyang!"
"Yes, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't have mentioned Wang Wan in the second edict. Wang Wan has been dead for several years. Mentioning her now is simply a warning to me that I risk being beheaded if I fail to complete the task!"
"Hmm, it seems His Majesty is truly furious at the remnants of the six kingdoms who continue to resist him. That's why he issued you a death order; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent two edicts on the second day of your marriage!"
"Yes, I was too arrogant this morning. I refused his first order, but unexpectedly he gave me a second death order. So, in order to keep this Xiang family uncle and nephew in check, I had no choice but to resort to this self-inflicted injury!"
"Alas, His Majesty's request is far too difficult to fulfill. To capture them all in one fell swoop will truly test the Prime Minister's abilities!"
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent the princess back to the palace. I was afraid the plan would fail and she would be kidnapped by those thieves instead!"
Li Lin shook his head.
He was driven mad by His Majesty's demand.
[Why did His Majesty have to present me with such a difficult problem? If I had known, I wouldn't have stopped him yesterday. I should have just handed Xiang Yu over to him and let him handle it. Sigh, I guess His Majesty is still angry with me because of what happened yesterday, so he deliberately arranged this for me.]
The Imperial Palace.
The First Emperor and Princess Manyin sat facing each other. The First Emperor's lips were always turned up, as if he was in a very good mood today, which puzzled Manyin.
Why is Father so happy and cheerful after just one day?
Could it be that another batch of beauties who meet the Emperor's liking have arrived in the palace?
Unfortunately, she was left to her own wild thoughts.
She never expected that her good father would be so happy because of her man's humiliation.
"Father, your daughter is newly married. How can you be so insensitive? You have to issue two edicts to Prime Minister Li at this time. Besides, the remnants of the six kingdoms are still waiting for an opportunity to strike. They haven't revealed their true colors yet!"
"Hahaha, I wasn't in a hurry at first. But your husband went too far yesterday, actually accusing me in front of so many people of trying to steal his girlfriend away. I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine, hahaha!"
"Father, aren't you being too petty?"
"Hey, if Father doesn't do much, how can your husband possibly remember your goodness? This time, he threatened to divorce you. Isn't that just a delaying tactic he's using because he's out of options?"
"Oh, Father, how did you know?"
"Hahaha, I know that rascal better than you do. You're still too naive. Your husband is full of bad intentions. If I don't teach him a lesson this time, how will he straighten out his attitude?"
The First Emperor always spoke with a cheerful expression.
Manyin had some complaints but didn't know how to express them.
After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you!
After seeing Manyin off, the First Emperor returned to his palace.
"Your Majesty, why are you smiling so much today? In all the years I have served Your Majesty, I have never seen you smile so happily!"
"Hahaha, my beloved concubine, you have no idea! That scoundrel used to surprise me at every turn, always managing to impress me. But this time is completely different. This time he finally got his comeuppance! Let him show off in front of me all this time! Hahaha, I can already picture him getting his comeuppance in my mind. It's just too funny, hahahaha!"
The First Emperor was laughing so hard he could hardly stop.
"Your Majesty, why do you talk about that brat every time you see me? He's a stinky man, what's there to talk about? I've never seen Your Majesty mention me so much!"
"My dear concubine, are you jealous?"
"Hmph, Your Majesty, it's all because you're so biased! None of the sisters in our harem have ever seen you so concerned about someone. Instead, you're concerned about a stinky man. It really makes me and the sisters in the harem feel sad!"
"My dear consort, you don't understand. The pleasures men experience are something you women can't give them!"
"Your Majesty, humph! Last night, when you held me as we fell asleep, you were still calling out that bastard's name. You really showed me no respect!"
At this moment, the person giving the First Emperor a foot massage was a beautiful woman who was complaining indignantly.
seem.
Even before Li Lin was highly regarded by the court officials, the concubines in the harem already regarded him as their greatest enemy.
The concubines in the harem, who were originally incompatible and at odds with each other, actually united because of a man from the previous dynasty.
This was somewhat inexplicable to the First Emperor.
The harem became unusually united, relieving him of any worries. However, every time he embraced his beloved concubine to sleep, they would complain a bit.
However, the First Emperor didn't care about any of that; that rascal Li Lin was his source of joy.
Why would they easily give up just because of the opposition of a few favored concubines?
