An old man wearing linen clothes with a vicissitudes of life, and a middle-aged man wearing a brocade gown with a rich figure.
The two came to Qin Wei and bowed in salute.
"Old Li Shizhen pays homage to His Royal Highness the County Prince!"
"Young citizen Shen Fu pays homage to His Highness the County Prince!"
Qin Wei looked at the two of them and his eyes lit up.
Sure enough, there is a surprise!
And the surprise is quite big.
Medicine Saint Li Shizhen!
The wealthy Shen Wansan!
These two men are not as good as Li Ru in terms of intelligence, and not as good as Wang Shouren in terms of talent and learning, but they each have their own abilities.
Let’s talk about the great master Li Shizhen first. Although he had no cultivation, he was proficient in medicine. Historically, he spent 27 years writing the 1.92 million-word masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica". In addition, he also researched pulse theory and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. , his works include "A Study of the Eight Meridians of Qijing" and "Binghu Pulsology".
Although this world is a world of cultivation, the status of doctors is very high. Of course, compared to alchemists, the status of doctors is still lower.
However, alchemy and medical skills have many similarities. Generally speaking, all powerful alchemists are powerful doctors, and all powerful doctors can alchemy.
Now Li Shizhen is just an ordinary doctor, but with his understanding of herbal medicine, it shouldn't be difficult to become an alchemist.
Li Shizhen is not only a powerful doctor, but also an alchemist with great potential.
As for Shen Fu and Shen Wansan, let alone that.
Two days ago, he was coveting Qi Chao's talent in business, so now he sent him Shen Wansan. With Shen Wansan here, it would be difficult for Qin Wei not to make a fortune.
"Please sit down, both of you!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
After that, Qin Wei started talking to the two of them. The more they talked, the more surprised Qin Wei felt.
Thanks to the memories instilled in the chess pieces by Yitian Chessboard, both of them know a lot about the world, especially Li Shizhen, who is also familiar with all kinds of herbs in this world, which is more conducive to him studying alchemy.
Qin Wei had already made up his mind to send people to collect books on alchemy and spiritual medicine for Li Shizhen later. In the future, he would train Li Shizhen to become a real alchemy master.
As for Shen Wansan, Qin Wei also had many ideas. He planned to establish a chamber of commerce and build a huge business group based on the weapons forging industry and Shuzhou well salt industry.
Shen Wansan is the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce, and Qin Wei is Shen Wansan's backer.
With Shen Wansan's ability, he should not be worse than Qi Chao.
Of course, it would be even better if the Qi Dynasty could be conquered.
While Qin Wei was talking to Li Shizhen and Shen Wansan, Xiao Shunzi came slowly with another tall and thin man wearing dark dark red patterned dark clothes.
This person had dark red hair, a pale complexion, and a pair of narrow eyes revealing a gloomy sparkle.
When he came to Qin Wei, Qin Wei's first feeling was that this guy was an extremely dangerous guy.
"Slave Zhao Gao pays homage to His Highness!"
Qin Wei's eyes suddenly shot out a bright light.
Zhao Gao!
A character in the anime series "Qin Shi Mingyue", the first favorite of Qin Shihuang, the supreme leader of "Luo Wang", and half of Hu Hai's teacher.
The dragnet is all-encompassing.
Luowang is the largest and most terrifying mysterious organization in "Qin Shi Mingyue".
Zhao Gao is the master of the net. He weaves an invisible giant net within the seven kingdoms, absorbs a large number of escaped prisoners and wandering swordsmen, and trains them cruelly and bloodyly. He trains them into deadly poisonous stings, just like a
There are only spiders lurking in the shadow of the Qin Empire, always waiting for prey caught in the web.
Zhao Gao is a person who can wield various powers with ease in the palm of his hand.
His behavior is like the black widow spider, the symbol of the web, hiding in the dark places, ready to give others a fatal blow at any time, and it is extremely poisonous.
There is danger and murderous intent everywhere on his body, which makes people feel creepy and shuddering.
Such a dangerous person, if Yitian Chessboard could not guarantee 100% loyalty, Qin Wei would really not dare to use it.
"No gifts!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhao Gao whispered.
Qin Wei said to Xiao Shunzi: "Take the two gentlemen down to rest first."
"Here!" Xiao Shunzi responded and left with Li Shizhen and Shen Wansan.
After they left, Qin Wei pointed to the chessboard next to him and said, "Let's talk about a game!"
Zhao Gao sat opposite Qin Wei with a calm expression, "Your Highness, please!"
The two of them were playing chess.
Under the cool shade of the trees, the clatter of chess pieces falling continued one after another.
In just a moment, the chessboard was filled with chess pieces.
After Xiao Shunzi arranged for Li Shizhen and Shen Wansan, he returned to Qin Wei. He looked at Zhao Gao curiously.
"What do you think of the current situation?" Qin Wei suddenly asked.
Zhao Gao held the chess pieces between his fingers and said, "It's very messy."
"Where is the chaos?" Qin Wei said.
"The court is in chaos, the capital is in chaos, and the world is in chaos!" Zhao Gao said.
"Why the chaos?"
"Because someone wants to bring chaos to the world."
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, "Who?"
"Many! For example, Your Highness!" Zhao Gao raised his head and said.
There was no emotion in his tone, and he was as calm as a stone.
The corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled up slightly.
Zhao Gao is right, he does want the world to be chaotic.
Only when the world is in chaos can he take advantage of it.
"Except for me?"
"Well!" Zhao Gao said thoughtfully, "There are still six holy places, princes, His Majesty Li Huang, and countless ambitious people."
"There are actually so many people?" Qin Wei was slightly surprised.
"The number of people is not important. What is important is the people who really control the situation in the world." Zhao Gao said with a sigh.
"Who can control the situation in the world?" Qin Wei asked.
"There is only one person who can control the world's situation now."
"His Majesty!"
"That's right!"
Qin Wei frowned, "He probably doesn't want the world to be in chaos."
Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "How can you easily see through the mind of the planner? Your Highness thinks that he doesn't want the world to be in chaos. That's because he made His Highness feel so."
"Well!" Qin Wei looked at the chessboard and thought for a moment, "You mean this is all his plan?"
Zhao Gaodao: "There is also a falsehood in the situation, and the falsehood is for the people involved in the situation to see."
"Of course His Majesty doesn't want to cause chaos in the world, but he can make the chaos break out at a certain time and place, or end it."
Qin Wei held the chess piece in his hands but could not place it down.
In his mind, Emperor Li's old face appeared, wise and vicissitudes of life, so deep that it was hard to see through.
He can really make chaos break out at a certain time and place, and end at a certain time and place!
Qin Wei felt a little impossible.
But he also felt that it was possible.
The conflicting feelings made him a little upset.
"I seem to have overlooked something?" Qin Wei frowned and said.
Zhao Gaodao: "If this slave guessed correctly, what His Highness ignored was why he came to Shuzhou!"
Qin Wei was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhao Gao in shock.
"Has Your Highness ever thought of coming to Shuzhou when he was in Kyoto?"
"No!" Qin Wei shook his head.
"But your highness is here." Zhao Gao said.
Qin Wei closed his eyes slightly and had a lot of thoughts for a while.
Why did he come to Shuzhou? It was because Mao Jiang, the Marquis of Changping, was causing trouble.
But it stands to reason that he is not needed when Mao Jiang commits chaos. Even if he was the one who brought this matter to light, he should not be the one to handle it.
Dali has so many generals and troops, why does he need a prince to come to Shuzhou to quell the rebellion?
Emperor Li asked him to come!
He was also restricted from returning to Beijing within two years.
"No, if I hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with the Imperial City Division, Mao Jiang would not have rebelled against the court at this time." Qin Wei shook his head and said.
"If His Highness didn't discover it, then someone else discovered it. There will always be someone who notices it, they just had fun a few days ago," Zhao Gao said.
Qin Wei's face darkened and he said, "So everything in the three southwest states is within His Majesty's plan?"
"If my servant guessed correctly, Your Majesty should be very afraid of Lan Yuehou." Zhao Gao said.
"All this is prepared for Lan Yuehou?" Qin Wei was even more surprised.
Zhao Gaodao: "It shouldn't be entirely true. Maybe Lan Yuehou is just one of them."
Qin Wei let out a long breath.
If Zhao Gao hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong.
The first thing that went wrong was the Imperial City Department. There was something wrong with the Imperial City Department. Did Emperor Li really not know about it?
The second thing that's wrong is why Emperor Li only arranged for Marquis Lan Yue to go to Yunzhou to quell the rebellion?
There are millions of troops in Kyoto, but Emperor Li only used 8,000 Mingyue troops.
There is also a third point, which is also the most suspicious thing about Qin Wei, that is, Emperor Li did not urge Lan Yuehou to put down the rebellion.
When there was a rebellion within the dynasty, it was natural to eliminate it as quickly as possible. However, Emperor Li did not have Cui Lanyuehou from the beginning to the end, nor did he dispatch other troops to Lanyuehou.
If the rebellion in the three southwest states broke out under Emperor Li's arrangement, then all this can be explained.
As for the purpose of Emperor Li, Qin Wei can think of two. One is Lan Yuehou, and the other should be the force behind Mao Jiang.
And letting him stay in Shuzhou should be just a matter of convenience.
"Then what do you think this king should do next?" Qin Wei calmed down his complicated mood and asked.
Zhao Gao said softly: "Isn't His Highness already doing it? Hiding one's capabilities and biding one's time, holding back and keeping silent."
Qin Wei nodded slightly. It was his and Li Ru's plan to stay away from Kyoto and stay in Shuzhou.
This is the strategy that suits him best at the moment.
If the foundation is insufficient, it will take time to make up for it. If Emperor Li is powerful, then wait until he weakens or disappears completely.
The key to the power struggle is not who is ruthless, but who is more tolerant.
"I hope you can rebuild the snare!" Qin Wei said in a deep voice.
Now all his intelligence information comes from the Imperial City Division, but the Imperial City Division belongs to Lihuang. Qin Wei can borrow it for a while, but cannot borrow it for a lifetime.
He must build his own intelligence organization.
When he was training dead soldiers before, he had intended to let Wang An and Shi Luan build an intelligence organization. However, Wang An and Shi Luan were not chess pieces, so Qin Wei had some doubts in his heart.
Now that Zhao Gao is here, it is naturally a perfect fit.
"Slaves need a lot of people." Zhao Gao did not refuse and directly mentioned the conditions.
Qin Wei said: "You can choose any prison in Shuzhou."
Zhao Gao added: "Slaves still need many masters."
"Whoever I think is suitable, I can improve his cultivation level." Qin Wei said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhao Gao put down the chess piece, then stood up and bowed in greeting.
Qin Wei looked at the chessboard, shook his head slightly, and threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
He lost this game of chess.
Zhao Gao's chess skills are as superb as his judgment of the situation, even better than Li Ru.
It's not that Li Ru can't do it, it's just that the two have different priorities.
Li Ru was more inclined toward strategy, while Zhao Gao was more inclined toward layout. The two seemed to be similar, but in fact they were very different.
