This man had shifty eyes, a weak and thin build, and a dark complexion.
He doesn't look like a handsome and charming man at all.
He even exuded a subtle, lewd aura.
But his eyes also revealed a heroic and extraordinary spirit.
He wasn't very tall, but he wasn't short either; he was about the average height of a person in the Qin Dynasty. He wore a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and looked like he came from out of town.
And then there was that last sentence he said.
This made Li Lin involuntarily associate the image of an important historical figure with this.
"Your Excellency, why is there this stagnation?"
"My dear teacher, why aren't you leaving?"
"My mentor?"
"It's alright. You all take Her Highness to the residence first, and I'll be right back!"
"Hey, dear teacher, today is your big day! Why are you running around at this hour?"
"Yes, yes, just two more streets and we'll reach the Prime Minister's residence. Your Excellency, please don't wander off at this hour!"
"Alas, this is a matter of life and death for the Great Qin Dynasty, and I cannot afford to miss it. Moreover, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find him again in the future!"
Li Lin waved his hand, feeling that this person was the one he had been thinking of.
If it really is him.
Of course, you can't miss it.
After all, he was the only illiterate emperor who could write "The wind rises and the clouds fly"!
Such a person, no matter how much others look down on him.
He is an indispensable figure on the historical monument.
Because he was Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty!
"Prime Minister Li, what are you going to do at this time? I don't want to be alone in my room on this joyous day!"
"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will be right back!"
Li Lin bowed to Princess Manyin inside the sedan chair.
He then turned and left the wedding procession.
Han Xin, who was behind him, was worried about him acting alone, so he took a sword and chased after him.
"Oh no! This young man overheard what I just said! Is he here to arrest me?"
The man wearing the straw hat was immediately startled.
I want to leave.
But at this moment, Li Lin had already run up to him. "May I ask if this brave man in front is Liu Ji (the third brother), the head of Sishui Pavilion? I am Li Lin, the Prime Minister of Qin. I heard what you said on the road and came over out of curiosity. I have no ill intentions!"
"What? You...you...you are the Prime Minister of the Great Qin?"
Liu Bang was stunned.
What kind of official was the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty?
That was a position second only to the emperor, above all others.
And what about him?
He was just a minor official.
In the Qin Dynasty, a pavilion was formed every ten li (approximately 5 kilometers). A pavilion was roughly equivalent to a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty, while larger pavilions had the scale of a thousand households.
The small pavilion was even smaller than a hundred households.
Such a minor official position.
In front of the Prime Minister, even the hair on your little finger is nothing; if you move your little finger even slightly, a whole bunch of people will die.
"That was my wedding procession and His Majesty's imperial carriage just now. Do you think it's necessary for me to put on a show in front of so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries?"
"That's true!"
Liu Bang nodded in surprise, then smiled apologetically, "Prime Minister, please forgive my rudeness. I was far too presumptuous just now..."
"Hey, Liu Ji, it's good that you have lofty ideals. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. You may only be a small village head now, but what about the future? No one can predict how things will develop, can they?"
Li Lin smiled at him.
At this time, Liu Bang had not yet risen to prominence, so although he appeared to be a local ruffian, he was still very kind to people, especially to high-ranking officials like him in the Qin Dynasty.
They were naturally extremely respectful.
but.
If it weren't for the tyranny of Qin Er Shi, Liu Bang might have remained just a village head for the rest of his life.
As the saying goes, times make heroes.
If the First Emperor had been alive, let alone Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, even the exceptionally skilled Xiang Yu would have been nothing more than a nobody wandering around.
"Thank you for your encouragement, Your Excellency!"
"Alright, Liu Ji, today is my wedding day. I shouldn't have come to see you, but since you're here, I'll give you a chance!"
"What? Your Excellency, you've taken a liking to me?"
Liu Bang was greatly shocked, and his face showed a mixture of surprise and joy.
"This is my jade seal. You can stay at the post station for the next few days. Once I've finished preparing for my wedding, I will come to the post station to find you. Then we can talk about other things, shall we?"
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Prime Minister. I will certainly be waiting for your arrival at the post station!"
"Well then, I shall take my leave now!"
"Please, sir!"
Liu Bang accepted the jade seal, feeling that everything had happened too suddenly, that he had been slapped hard in the face in front of everyone.
A crisp sound and a burning pain on my face.
This immediately brought him to his senses: Wow, I, Liu Ji, am not dreaming! I, Liu Ji, have had a stroke of incredible luck today! I've met a benefactor! I never expected that a single, heartfelt remark would catch the Prime Minister's attention!
That's incredible!
In other words, I only used one sentence to win the Prime Minister's favor.
Today must have been incredibly lucky!
People around him looked at Liu Bang, who was acting strangely, and pointed at him, thinking that he had lost his mind.
At this time, Li Lin...
