Chapter 420 Rumors
"Your Majesty, what if...if..."
When Wang Li heard that Ying Gao wanted to take a warship, he was a little in trouble at that time. He had also sat on the warship himself, and sailing on the river surface was very smooth.
But he sat on him, and Ying Gao had a different identity from him. Although he still had great confidence in the warship he had built, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid of it. If the emperor had any accidents when he rode a warship in Shouchun, he would definitely be to blame as a local snake.
But if Wang Li didn't say anything after a long time, he had been talking about how good the warship was. If he had said it now, it might sink something, it would be like slapping himself in the face.
Wang Li looked at the Zhu family who was following Ying Gao. The meaning was obviously to ask the Zhu family to persuade Ying Gao a little, but the Zhu family seemed to have not seen him.
Of course, the Zhu family didn't want Ying Gao to take a warship to the river, because that was really uncontrollable, and the Zhu family knew that Ying Gao was a landslide and did not have any water nature.
But even so, he could not persuade Ying Gao to do something, not because of anything else, but because if he persuaded him, what if Ying Gao thought he was afraid of death, his image would be really not very good. The emperor was not afraid of death. Of course, it was not the case that you were afraid of death. Therefore, the Zhu family could only stand behind Ying Gao and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"What if? Could it be that there is something wrong with your warship? If this is true, it would be fine to tell me everything now. If there are no mistakes, why worry about me, the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty will sail on this warship for several months in the future. So what can I sit on it and experience it in the river?"
Ying Gao's words made Wang Li lose any rebuttals. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only grit his teeth and nod, and then asked dejectedly: "Don't you want to board the ship?"
"Come on the boat tomorrow morning, and you will accompany you all the guards I brought to accompany you, and fortunately, you can see the great Qin Dynasty on this river!"
Ying Gao said so boldly, but when Wang Li retreated, he looked bitter. He knew that he was destined to be unable to sleep that night. Although Ying Gao would bring all his thousand guards on the boat, he still had to arrange the warning matters on the shore.
If someone with ulterior motives know that the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty wanted to board the boat and visit the river at this time, it would undoubtedly be the best chance of assassination. As long as someone sneaked into the river and sank the warship, Ying Gao would basically be abandoned.
Thinking of this floor, Wang Li hurriedly arranged some people in the army with good water quality. At that time, they would drive a boat and follow the warship. Once they found anything abnormal on the water surface, they would be able to react in time.
"Your Majesty, can we sisters really board the warship with you?"
When Ying Gao returned to the house where they lived, Feng Qing and Tian Yan had already learned that Ying Gao wanted to board the warship tomorrow and experience the power of the warship on the not-so-stable river.
After knowing this, Feng Qing was still quite worried about Ying Gao's safety, but Tian Yan spoke at that time, telling Feng Qing that if the small boat, which was much smaller than this, could sail smoothly on the river surface, let alone such a large warship.
And I promised Feng Qing that once something really happened, with her physical strength and water nature, she would definitely be able to bring Ying Gao to the shore safely. In this way, Feng Qing took a little snack.
"That's natural. You can accompany you both by your side if you want to do. It will definitely be a good experience to take such a large warship to visit the river. It will definitely be better than the years you spent in Xianyang Palace before."
Ying Gao is quite able to understand their curiosity. Ying Gao is also quite familiar with the status of the woman in this era. Of course, he wants to change this situation, but this is obviously another long-term task.
So Ying Gao could only make changes from his own women. He believed that as he took his two wives to various places more and more, he would definitely bring ideas to the people of the Qin Dynasty.
Just when Ying Gao tried every means to change the status of a woman in Daqin, there was a woman who was quite restless.
This person was no one else. He entered the Xianyang Palace with Tian Yan and was thrown directly by Ying Gao to Qi Yi of Hu Hai.
In fact, when Ying Gao first gave her marriage to Hu Hai, it was out of kindness. From Feng Quji, Ying Gao had already learned about what Qi Yi and Tian Yan were like. Logically speaking, if he had not liked Qi Yi, he would definitely not be able to leave him in Xianyang Palace. Normally, he would have to send him back to her own home. Anyway, this matter was done by Feng Quji in secret. Except for the local officials and themselves, no one knew what she was doing.
However, with Qi Yi's family background, if Ying Gao sent her back, her beauty would only bring endless troubles and even disasters to her family.
What Ying Gao thought was that since a woman changed her life because of herself, she would have to be more or less responsible to the end. In addition, Qi Yi was really a woman with both talent and lust in the eyes of ordinary people, so in Ying Gao's opinion, the best of both worlds was to give her marriage to Hu Hai.
In Hu Hai's opinion, this incident was indeed a matter of both worlds. Because as he gained deeper understanding of Qi Yi, he found that Qi Yi was really a beauty, and he always fascinated him when dancing. In addition, Qi Yi was given a marriage by Ying Gao himself, so Hu Hai was quite fond of Qi Yi.
At the beginning, Qi Yi's behavior was indeed like a good wife and mother. He was obedient to Hu Hai, but after less than a year of getting along, Qi Yi roughly understood what kind of person Hu Hai was. From that time on, her mind had gradually grown and sprouted. She became even more uncontrollable.
She always believed that Tian Yan's position should be hers now, and Ying Gao still left Tian Yan in Xianyang Palace when she was absolutely superior to Tian Yan in all aspects, and rewarded her talented and beautiful self at will like a garbage, and she was still the least welcome younger brother.
Once a person's heart is filled with darkness, it will be difficult to restore the previous sunshine. This is exactly what Qi Yi is like.
She was an insignificant person, and even after Ying Gao rewarded her to Hu Hai, she forgot about this matter a few months later. The state affairs of the Qin Dynasty were so complicated that Ying Gao was really not allowed to pay attention to a person like Qi Yi, let alone a woman.
But Ying Gao's failure to pay attention to her does not mean that she does not pay attention to Ying Gao. Qi Yi now felt completely resentful towards Ying Gao, especially when she discovered that although Hu Hai was a young man and the younger brother of the current emperor, he would never be entrusted with important tasks like Fusu. He was an exiled young man, or he exiled himself.
Hu Hai's daily life is to drink, have fun, watch dances of dancers, and read some miscellaneous books in his mansion. In short, he would not pay attention to even a little bit of the country and country of the Qin Dynasty.
Finally, Qi Yi learned about Hu Hai's past and learned that he was the most doting young master of the First Emperor, but because he followed the wrong teacher and believed in Zhao Gao in the wrong way, which led to his mistakes and the resentment of his mistakes. The power of the Qin Dynasty no longer had anything to do with him.
Hu Hai had indeed given up a long time ago. He no longer thought about the words his teacher had told him before that he could become a wise ruler in the Qin Dynasty.
But Qi Yi did not give up. Although she was already Hu Hai's wife, she had been doing what Hu Hai's wife should do on the surface, but when she learned about the cause and effect of this and the past between Hu Hai and Ying Gao, an idea slowly formed in Qi Yi's heart.
A year after being married to Hu Hai by Ying Gao, Qi Yi's life began to gradually become richer. She did not enclose herself in her mansion every day like Hu Hai, and she took the initiative to date some young master's wives.
Because they all have the same identities, there are some common topics, especially because Qi Yi was personally granted to Hu Hai by Ying Gao, so the wives of other young men also gave her some face. In addition, she had read some books since she was a child, and soon she had a sense of existence in the circle of those young men in Xianyang City.
Because the Qin Dynasty had just experienced the emperor of the First Emperor in this life, there was no detailed system for the princes' arrangements, which led to the rest of the princes wasting their time in Xianyang City except for Fusu who helped Ying Gao guard Nanhai County.
While Ying Gao was on a tour to Nanhai County, a saying suddenly spread in the circle of the princes of the Qin Dynasty, that is, the reason why Ying Gao asked Fusu to Nanhai County to be the county magistrate was because Fusu was loyal, honest and easy to control.
The reason why the other young men could only waste their time in Xianyang City was because Ying Gao was afraid that they would affect his rule outside, so he could only enclose them in Xianyang City. The purpose of doing this was nothing more than to control them so as not to affect Ying Gao's own power.
Because Ying Gao's brothers are really many, and as of this time, there are more than a dozen, and most of them are in their prime at the age of twenty or thirty. So with this statement, many young men really have the idea of why those people from civilian origin can control a county town outside, while their orthodox royal family can only be brought in a small mansion in Xianyang City, which is naturally unfair to them.
This incident even came to Xiao He and Meng Yi's ears. This was something they never expected. When Ying Gao was in Xianyang City, these young men were very honest. No one expected such rumors to emerge from them.
Such rumors have undoubtedly had a great impact on Ying Gao's reputation in the Qin Dynasty. Once such statements are recognized by the people of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Gao will become a loving person, and the cohesion that has finally formed among the people of the Qin Dynasty will disappear again in a short period of time.
"Left Prime Minister, how should we deal with this matter? These rumors are suspected of slandering the emperor!" On this day, Meng Yi and Xiao He were sitting together with frowns, and it was this matter that was being discussed.
"This incident was spread from the princes of the Great Qin. It must be that some of them had angered a lot. However, the princes of the Great Qin are all brothers of the king. It is not easy to deal with both of you and me. What's more, there are more than a dozen princes of the Great Qin. I don't know who this rumor came from. Don't act rashly."
"Oh, this matter is really difficult. You have to wait until the Lord returns to take it personally..." After hearing Xiao He's words, Meng Yi sighed slightly, knowing that this may not be something they can do here.
"But you and I should not indulge them in these days. The Grand Marshal should also secretly send guards to see who the source of this rumor is. After the lord returns, we will immediately report the details of it to him."
When Meng Yi and Xiao He began to arrange this matter, Qi Yi had not gone out for several days in Hu Hai's mansion. Moreover, Hu Hai found that there was a lot of smiles on his wife's face these days, which was a bit different from the cold expression that had been before.
On this day, Qi Yi had just danced a song for Hu Hai himself, which made Hu Hai very helpful. After the dance, Hu Hai stretched out his big hand and took Qi Yi, who was still sweating all over his body, into his arms.
But before Hu Hai could take the next move, Qi Yi spoke first in his arms.
"Have you ever thought that if it weren't for the king's sudden appearance, the one who is sitting in the position of Emperor Qin now would be the young master?"
As soon as he said this, Hu Hai felt like he was struck by lightning. He directly let go of Qi Yi's arm holding Qi Yi and almost threw Qi Yi to the ground. However, Qi Yi did not look surprised at Hu Hai's expression, but just looked at him intently.
After a long time, Hu Hai reacted. He looked at Qi Yi blankly, then turned his head to look around. Seeing that there were no guards at this time, he quickly pulled Qi Yi up and walked into the bedrooms of the two of them in a few steps.
"You must never say such words again. Once you know them, your stable life will come to an end!"
At this time, Hu Hai rarely showed a look of anger.
