Chapter 44 Ying Zhu: Zheng'er, help your grandfather review memorials in the future! outside the temple. The voice of the Royal Guard Commander Ren Chuan came in. "Enter." Ying Zhu spoke up. Zhao Zheng walked slowly into the hall. "Grandson meets grandfather." Zhao Zheng bowed directly to Ying Zhu. "Zheng'er." "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? Why are you coming to see your grandfather so early?" Ying Zhu looked at Zhao Zheng kindly and asked.
"I have come to pay my respects to my grandfather." "Except." "I also hope that grandfather can arrange some things for Zheng'er to do." Zhao Zheng replied respectfully. "Sit down." Ying Zhu smiled slightly and clapped his hands at the seat next to him. Zhao Zheng was not afraid either. He walked slowly forward and sat on it. "You little guy, you're only eight years old and you want to ask for a job?" Ying Zhu asked with a smile. "My grandson doesn't want to have nothing to do after returning to Xianyang." "Also, when I was in Handan, I received instruction from my teacher and learned a lot, but I never put it into practice," Zhao Zheng replied truthfully. "Speak of it." "Grandfather also heard from your father." "Your teacher's origins are a mystery, but he is a great talent. The other two teachers who taught you are a perfect match, one literary and one martial." "From the few days since you returned to Xianyang, I can see that they are all extraordinary." "I wonder where your teacher is now?" Ying Zhu asked curiously. "I dare not deceive my grandfather." "I don't know where my grandson's teacher is." "But the teacher once said one thing. If the Qin Dynasty is unified in the future, my grandson can see the teacher again." Zhao Zheng replied respectfully. Hear this! Ying Zhu smiled slightly: "It seems that Zheng'er, you have also made some guesses about your teacher's origins in your heart."
"When it was returned to the Qin Dynasty, my grandson didn't know." “But after learning about the ancestral temple from my father, I guessed that the teacher might be someone from the ancestral temple.” "The teacher once said that, except for your closest relatives, no one will be nice to you for no reason." "The ancestral temple is the place where our Great Qin nation is defended. We are all relatives. The teacher comes from the ancestral temple. This is the only way to explain it." Zhao Zheng nodded and said. "The ancestral temple." "The most mysterious place in Daqin." “Even though your great-grandfather reigned for fifty-six years, his knowledge of the ancestral temple is minimal.” "But it's certain." "As long as the ancestral temple exists, Daqin will always be strong." “The fact that you can be personally taught by someone from the ancestral temple is enough to show how much the ancestral temple values you, Zheng’er. Valuing you means that you will have to take on more responsibilities in the future, so you must not let them down.” Ying Zhu said earnestly. The Prophecy of the Ancestors. Under destiny. It was an immense honor to watch. But the burden is also not small. "Grandson, I will do my best." Zhao Zheng nodded heavily. Just as the grandfather and grandson were talking. "Prince." "The heir requests to see you." Ren Chuan's voice sounded outside the hall again. "Your father is here." Ying Zhu smiled slightly. Then waved his hand. Ren Chuan immediately issued an order. Ying Zichu strode into the hall. "Your son pays homage to my father." Ying Zichu bowed. When he saw Zhao Zheng sitting next to him, Ying Zichu smiled and said, "Zheng'er is here too." "Zheng'er is much more thoughtful than you. He came to greet me right after waking up." Ying Zhu stroked Zhao Zheng's head and said with great loving care. "This proves that Zheng'er is filial." "You are worthy of being my son." Ying Zichu replied with a smile. "You are quite shameless, kid." Ying Zhu cursed with a speechless smile.
But after laughing and scolding. Ying Zhu's expression turned serious again: "Tell me, what are you doing here?" "I came here for two things." "First, it is about Zheng'er returning to his ancestral home and restoring his Ying surname." "Now that Zheng'er has returned, he should go to the ancestral temple to recognize his ancestors, record the family tree, and make a jade butterfly." Ying Zichu said respectfully. Zhao Zheng, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Ying Zichu with emotion. "Regarding the matter of recognizing our ancestors, I will discuss the date with the Zongzheng after he returns from Mount Li." "Zheng'er is the legitimate son and the orthodox lineage of our Great Qin. Naturally, the ceremony of recognizing his ancestors should be more solemn." Ying Zhu said. "Thank you, father." Ying Zichu expressed his gratitude immediately. "What is the second thing?" Ying Zhu looked at Ying Zichu and asked, but from the look in the former's eyes, it was obvious that he had expected it. "Since Fan Sui returned home, the position of prime minister has been vacant for many years. I want to recommend someone as prime minister." Ying Zichu raised his head with a serious expression. Ying Zhu had a calm expression. After glancing at Ying Zichu, he calmly asked, "Lü Buwei?" "Father is wise." "Lü Buwei has great talent and wisdom. He can definitely take on the role of prime minister." Ying Zichu said immediately. "Lü Buwei was born into a merchant family and had no meritorious service to the Qin Dynasty." "If we appoint him as prime minister, there will be great resistance." "All the ministers in the court will not agree." Ying Zhu said. "This this……" Ying Zichu also showed a look of helplessness on his face. "but." "The talent of Lu Buwei." "Of course I can see that, too." "Let him take the position of Shaofu for the time being." Ying Zhu said. "Thank you, father." Ying Zichu bowed immediately. The position of Shaofu! He is in charge of military affairs, weapons, and military secrets. Ranked among the Nine Ministers. It's already good enough to be able to secure this position for Lu Buwei.
As for the position of prime minister, there will be opportunities in the future. "Zheng'er." "What kind of job do you want?" Ying Zhu smiled and asked Zhao Zheng with a gentle look. "It's up to grandfather to arrange." Zhao Zheng said immediately. "Zheng'er wants to do an errand?" "Zheng'er is only eight years old." "What kind of errand can this be?" "Father, let Zheng'er be taught by the royal family first." "I also let Zheng'er become Lu Buwei's disciple so that I can teach him." Ying Zichu was a little stunned. "Zheng'er is my grandson. I will naturally support him no matter what he wants to do." Ying Zhu glanced at Ying Zichu. I could hear the protection and favor in Ying Zhu's words. This made Zhao Zheng, who had lacked care for many years in Handan, feel the strong family love. "Zheng'er, since you listen to your grandfather's arrangements." "Then later." "Every morning, you come to Zhangtai Palace to help grandfather review memorials." "After lunch, you can go to the Royal Guards to participate in the Royal Guards training." "After dinner, you can go to Lü Buwei's house to receive his instruction." "How?" Ying Zhu asked with a smile. Hear this. Zhao Zheng's heart also trembled. I never thought that my grandfather would be so kind to me. Review memorials. This is the authority that only the king has. Ying Zhu asked Zhao Zheng to help review memorials. Although it was just help, he was actually teaching Zhao Zheng. The meaning is very clear. "The grandson will definitely live up to grandfather's expectations." Zhao Zheng bowed directly to Ying Zhu. "Hahaha."
"Zheng'er." "You are still young and you need to learn a lot of things. Grandfather believes in you." Ying Zhu reached out and helped Zhao Zheng up, with deep trust in his eyes. Even though we were only together for a few days. But Ying Zhu truly loved this grandson from the bottom of his heart. …… PS: Please read my article, recommend it, and give me your monthly vote.
