Chapter 37: Strategy for the Five Ministers [Jinjiang genuine version only, reward 0.5...
Humph! You are such a nagging, dithering, dragging your feet, hesitating, and hesitant old Li!
Damn it! You like extreme tug-of-war, right?
You love playing that tsundere "You run and I chase! You're destined to be unable to escape!" huh?!
Seeing the task progress bar gloriously jump from "99.99%" to "99.999%" under her charming smile, Qin Ying felt goosebumps all over her body and her scalp tingled. The most important thing was that the system's ordinary mechanical electronic voice rang in her mind:
Congratulations to the host! You're truly incredible! In less than two months, you've already completed 99.999% of the mission to capture Li Si, surpassing 99.9999% of other system hosts! I hope the host will keep up the good work! You're only 0.001% away from successfully completing the temporary mission—"I'm the coolest guy on this street!"
[This year! You must become the most handsome guy on the streets of Xianyang City!]
[Bang!]
Feeling depressed, Ying·Little Fatty felt that his obsessive-compulsive disorder had come back again, and in a fit of anger he locked the taskbar forcibly for three months!
Out of sight, out of mind!
He curled his lips and glared obscurely at Old Li, who was grinning like a blooming chrysanthemum in front of him, and then cast his brilliant smile at his grandfather who was sitting at the lacquer table at the top.
Li Si, who was inexplicably glared at by the emperor's eldest grandson, could not help but blink in confusion, and subconsciously looked down at his clothes. There was nothing wrong with it, as always, very decent.
Although he didn't understand why the Emperor's eldest grandson suddenly stopped smiling at him, Old Li, satisfied that his goal had been achieved, turned back to his seat and gave his colleagues a cryptic look: "See? Your Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson met me first! You may seem a step behind, but in reality, you're actually far behind!"
Seeing the brilliant smile on his grandson's face, the "Complaint Order" he had presented at the morning court meeting had been a huge hit. The First Emperor, in a particularly good mood, smiled and waved to the little fellow, saying cheerfully, "Ying, come sit here with me. The complaint order you presented yesterday afternoon helped me resolve a particularly difficult political matter. Look, all these nobles want to see you."
[Eh——Come to see me?]
When Qin Ying heard what her grandfather said, she subconsciously turned her gaze to the strange men sitting at the table. This time, she looked carefully and saw that there were five old men and one middle-aged man, including Li Si.
After seeing the First Emperor's actions, Zhao Gao immediately took two steps at a time and went up the imperial steps. He brought the emperor's eldest grandson, who was in his arms, to the side of His Majesty, and then bowed his head and retreated.
Qin Ying sat down next to his grandfather. Seeing a group of old men below staring at him, he also looked over.
Seeing his grandson so fearless, the smile in the Emperor's eyes became even brighter. He raised his right hand and pointed at several important officials below, introducing them to his grandson one by one:
"Ying, this is our Great Qin's Grand Commandant, Wei Liao, Lord Liao."
Taiwei Liao, who was publicly named by His Majesty, also hurriedly stood up from his seat and bowed to the little baby who was looking at him with curiosity, saying:
"Wei Liao, a native of Daliang, pays his respects to the Lord of Xiao'an."
“Aiya!”
Qin Ying hurriedly imitated her grandfather's past behavior and raised her chubby little hands.
Look at Taiwei Liao, then look at Old Li, I have to say that Wei Liaozi, this Liao is a bit arrogant, although he dares to confront his own grandfather! But he looks more majestic than Li Si! He looks like a very arrogant old man.
After looking at Wei Liaozi's face several times and carefully memorizing the old man's appearance, Qin Ying heard the grandfather laugh loudly again:
"Ying, the one sitting next to Lord Liao is Lord Gangcheng Cai Ze, who has been through four monarchs in our Great Qin."
Seeing Cai Ze's unique appearance was exactly the same as what was recorded in history books! Ying Xiaopangdun'er's pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly, and he felt very emotional. Fortunately, Cai Ze was born in the late Warring States Period. After wasting his time in front of the monarchs and nobles of the six kingdoms, he was finally able to catch the eye of the King of Qin with his talent.
If he were born in an era where official positions were based on the imperial examination system, Cai Ze's unique appearance, which attracted 200% of passers-by's attention, would probably not make it to the palace examination even if he was talented! It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea by a bucket!
Cai Ze came from a wealthy family. Because of his peculiar appearance, he had been looked at by all kinds of people since he was a child. However, he firmly believed that his peculiar appearance would definitely bring him some adventures! Although he encountered many obstacles when traveling around the six countries in his early years, he did not feel inferior about his appearance. Later, after entering Qin, he relied on his superb political wisdom to work his way from being under King Zhaoxiang of Qin to being under the current Qin Shi Huang. Relying on the fact that three Qin kings died in a row within five years and he had to observe endless national mourning, he became a veteran minister of four dynasties. His luck was quite good.
After His Majesty finished speaking, he saw that the young-looking eldest grandson of the emperor opened his mouth slightly and looked at him. In his clear and bright phoenix eyes, there was no surprise at his unique appearance, but only a slight feeling of emotion.
Although he didn't know what the tiny little baby was thinking when he looked at his appearance, he still stood up from his seat with grace and grace, bowed to the little baby at the top of the table and said calmly:
"Cai Ze, the adult of Gang, greets His Highness the Young Prince."
Qin Ying smiled and nodded, then turned her gaze to the next old man.
This time, without the grandfather having to speak again, the strange old man stood up from his seat, leaned over and introduced himself to him:
"Feng Quji of Shangdang pays his respects to His Royal Highness Changsun."
A hint of understanding flashed across Qin Ying's eyes, and she nodded again. It turned out that this person was Feng Quji, who had served as the left and right prime ministers in the court with Li Si after Wang Wan retired!
In the Qin Dynasty, the "left" was respected and the "right" was inferior in terms of the direction of riding in a carriage, but in other aspects, the "right" was generally respected.
In name, it seems that Feng Quji, the "Right Prime Minister", is more honorable than Li Si, the "Left Prime Minister", but in terms of "imperial favor" and "real power", Feng Quji is not as good as Li Si. In the future, the real head of civil servants will be Li Si, not Feng Quji.
Ying·Little Fatty vaguely remembered that after the Qin army captured Shangdang County of Han in the Battle of Changping, the descendants of Feng Ting, the prefect of Shangdang County, were divided into two groups. One group left their hometown and went to live in Zhao State. The famous one was the "Feng Tang" in the saying "Feng Tang is easy to grow old, Li Guang is hard to be granted a title", while the other group stayed in their hometown of Shangdang and became new Qin people.
Feng Quji is the descendant of Feng Ting who stayed in Shangdang. He was soon named "Left Prime Minister" by his grandfather. I think, like Wang Wan, it was because of his identity as a "Qin person" and his "aristocratic" origin. His ability was certainly one factor, but more importantly, his grandfather named him "Right Prime Minister" to stabilize the old Qin nobles as a mascot, right?
After Feng Quji sat down, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties also stood up.
Finally, he wasn't a strange old man anymore. Qin Ying looked at the tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man in front of him with great interest. The man spoke in Qinqiang dialect and bowed to him, saying:
"Your humble servant Zhang Han is currently serving in the Ministry of Revenue and would like to pay his respects to Lord Xiao'an."
It turns out this man is Zhang Han! The future Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty!
Qin Yingfeng's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but look Zhang Han up and down.
Li Si, who believed he had developed a deep friendship with the young prince in this hall, had been observing the expression on the young emperor's face. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Was it his imagination? Why did he feel as if the young prince knew the names of his colleagues, but he just couldn't match the faces with the names for a while?
Was he too sensitive? Or had Xuanniao already told His Royal Highness Changsun about the important officials in the court in his dream?
Qin Ying, who was unaware of Old Li's sensitive thoughts, had just turned her eyes away from Zhang Han when the last old man sitting next to Zhang Han stood up from his seat with shining eyes and bowed to Qin Ying, saying:
"Chun Yuyue of Qi pays his respects to His Royal Highness Chang Sun. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Hearing that the visitor actually introduced himself as "Chun Yu Yue from Qi", Qin Ying could not help but look at this old man with a smug smile on his face, again and again!
It turns out that this is Dr. Chunyu, the man who was "lost" because of his unfortunate father's deception!
provoke!
Qin Ying pursed her lips and nodded reservedly when the system's cheerful background music sounded in her mind again:
[System inspection! The host is incredibly lucky! A "Four-Step Book Control Order" that perfectly combines the reality of the Qin Dynasty with the ideas of later generations was announced by Li Si, the Imperial Court, at today's court meeting. It instantly shocked the entire court, and they were filled with envy for His Majesty the Emperor, each harboring the thought of "a grandson who is as great as the Emperor's eldest grandson!"]
[The system has detected that the host has, by chance, met a small group of people from the entrepreneurial team that helped the First Emperor destroy the six kingdoms. Please complete the temporary task - "Charming me, don't speak!"]
[Quest Requirements: Please use your unique personality to completely and 100% win over Grand Marshal Liao, Lord Gangcheng Cai Ze, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Junior Treasurer Zhang Han, and the eldest son's mentor Chunyu Yue within six months, so that these five people share Li Si's sentiment: The Emperor's eldest grandson is truly exceptional! Instead of trying so hard to promote the "Emperor's eldest son" to the position of "Crown Prince," why not promote the "Emperor's eldest grandson" to the position of "Crown Prince"?]
[Task Reward: After the host successfully completes the task, he will be rewarded with 0.5 blind box coins! ]
[What? How much? ? ?]
When Qin Ying heard that the reward for conquering five ministers was only "0.5 blind box coins", he felt dizzy and thought he had misheard. He only knew that the system was stingy, but it shouldn't be stingy to this extent!
The little guy subconsciously and hurriedly opened the taskbar to check out the temporary task that had just been posted. All he saw was a blurry mosaic on the taskbar. Above the mosaic was a large red lock and an exclamation mark. Below it was a small, eye-catching, black, simplified Chinese text and a golden countdown.
[After system detection, host Qin Ying has proactively locked the system taskbar. Please check the taskbar again after "ninety-one days, twenty-three hours, fifty-eight minutes, and thirty-six seconds." If you are satisfied, please give a good review, dear~]
Qin Ying's vision went dark when she saw this. The chubby little boy who was "small and soft", "wearing high-quality diapers", and "full of fat" fell backwards with a "dong" as if he couldn't sit still.
