Chapter 17 Your Majesty is not a good person!

Ten minutes later Li Si arrived.

Li Si felt very confused and unfamiliar with His Majesty's recent behavior.

Not concerned about longevity.

He didn't even eat the golden elixir.

There is no more eastern tour.

Suddenly, it stayed on the sand dunes and refused to move.

Does Your Majesty want to move the capital to Shaqiu?

It shouldn't be.

If the capital is to be moved to Shaqiu, Your Majesty will definitely consult with all officials before making a decision.

Could it be that His Majesty summoned me this time to explain to me the reason for staying in Shaqiu?
Li Si, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, walked into Ying Zheng's imperial carriage.

Then he found that Wang Jian was there too.

And on His Majesty's desk was something he had never seen before.

"Li Si, are you here?"

"Your Majesty, I, Li Si, pay my respects to you."

"Okay, no more formalities, come here. I want to introduce you to a fun game called Landlord Fighting."

When Wang Jian heard this, he knew that His Majesty was still upset about losing ten games of Landlord in a row.

No wonder he asked Zhao Yi for this deck of cards before leaving.

So Li Si was summoned to gather people to play Landlord.

As for why Zhang Han was not found, it was probably because Zhang Han was a slow learner.

But Li Si was different. He was famous for his intelligence since childhood. He learned to read at the age of three and studied under the legalist Xunzi.

The laws, wheel tracks, writing systems and measurement units used by the Qin Dynasty after it unified the Central Plains were all formulated by him.

However, since meeting Zhao Yi, Wang Jian felt that Li Si was just so-so.

No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than Zhao Yi?

Li Si quickly learned how to play Landlord.

Ying Zheng immediately played a few games of Landlord with Li Si and Wang Jian.

After winning seven or eight games, Ying Zheng, who had satisfied his addiction to cards, stopped playing cards.

Ying Zheng regained his confidence in playing cards from Li Si and Wang Jian.

It turns out that it’s not my technical problem.

It must be Zhao's fault.

I'm not winning randomly now.

Now it seems that Zhao’s card skills are not simple.

It can make me lose ten games in a row.

Li Si on the side didn't really care about winning or losing.

He cares more about the cards in his hand.

Li Si has discovered that the material of these playing cards is something he has never seen before.

At least not in front of the dunes.

This means that your majesty has recently discovered new writing materials in the dunes.

Li Si was really curious about what His Majesty had discovered in the sand dunes.

Li Si asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, may I ask what these playing cards are made of?"

“The name of this material is paper.”

"Your Majesty, is this a new writing material?"

"Yes. And it's cheap. It only needs wood bamboo to make."

Ying Zheng continued: "With it, I can prepare to implement two policies."

"The first is to popularize education. Break the aristocracy's monopoly on education and allow ordinary people at the bottom to have the opportunity to study."

"And the second is the new Daqin official appointment system. Daqin officials need to pass an examination after being appointed. Only those who pass the examination are qualified to become Daqin officials."

"So I need you to develop some teaching materials for education and the examination guidelines for official examinations."

After all, the laws of the Qin Dynasty and most of the institutional rules were formulated by Li Si, so Ying Zheng handed these two tasks over to Li Si.

Li Si saluted excitedly and said, "I obey your order!"

As soon as Li Si heard it, he understood what His Majesty wanted to do.

He is going to take action against the nobles of the six countries!

Once the education system and the official examination system are popularized, Your Majesty will not have to worry about the rebellion of the six countries.

Li Si knew very well that His Majesty must have been instructed by an expert to do this.

I wonder which expert in the dunes could come up with this idea.

Li Si wanted to meet the expert very much, but he didn't know that the expert was actually a three-year-old child.

After receiving the order, Li Si excitedly retreated and went back to think about how to formulate relevant systems and rules.

And Wang Jian was also preparing to take his leave from His Majesty.

"Ahem~ Wang Jian, you lost and haven't paid yet."

Wang Jian had no choice but to put the money he had won during the day, which was still hot, on the table.

I didn't expect that His Majesty was so obsessed with the money he lost during the day.

"Your Majesty, I can now leave now."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."

Wang Jian decided that he would never play cards with Your Majesty again no matter what, because his playing cards were not good!
If you win, you will be remembered.

If you lose the fight, it really costs money.

……

Wu County, Kuaiji County, Xiang Mansion.

Xiang Liang was carefully reading the latest intelligence.

He was very confused when he saw the information that Ying Zheng actually stopped in Shaqiu County and no longer toured the east, and that he was exercising control over Shaqiu County.

Xiang Yu, who was standing by, asked, "Why doesn't that dog emperor Ying Zheng leave Shaqiu?"

"This is too abnormal. I'm afraid there is something behind it."

Xiang Yu guessed: "Maybe the dog emperor died in the dunes, so he won't leave."

Necklace shook his head, "That can't be the case. If Ying Zheng died suddenly, then the Eastern Tour Caravan would have rushed back to Xianyang immediately."

"why?"

"Because Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty, if Ying Zheng dies suddenly, all the officials accompanying him will need to rush back to Xianyang to help the new emperor ascend the throne as soon as possible so that the transfer of power can be completed as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected events."

"Could it be that Ying Zheng is sick?" Xiang Yu asked again.

"No, the caravan will rush back to Xianyang. There must be something in the dunes that is stopping Ying Zheng from leaving."

"Could it be that Ying Zheng found the immortal in the dunes?"

"That may be possible. After all, the purpose of Ying Zheng's eastern tour was to seek immortality."

Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu had no idea that Ying Zheng stayed in the sand dunes because of a three-year-old child.

Xiang Liang had a feeling that there must be something important in the sand dunes.

He needs to find a way to find out the current intelligence in Shaqiu County.

But now Shaqiu County is under martial law, and ordinary spies going there will definitely be caught immediately.

So he had to find a spy with an unusual identity to help him gather intelligence.

Suddenly he saw a candidate emerging in Xiang Yu's mind.

The dancer that Xiang Yu has been pursuing recently is Yu Ji.

Yu Ji is a famous dancer. Now she is working for an imperial merchant caravan and often performs in various places.

If Yu Ji arrived at Shazhou, she would most likely be able to enter it.

Because she has a clean background and works for the imperial merchant.

All you need to do is mention to the head of the imperial merchants that Ying Zheng is in Shaqiu, and you can lure the imperial merchant caravan to Shaqiu.

As for how to make Yu Ji work for him.

The method is very simple - just kidnap Yu Ji and separate her parents.

At that time, Yu Ji will obey my orders and help me to gather information about Shaqiu.

Xiang Liang then told Xiang Yu about his plan.

Xiang Yu was a little hesitant after hearing this.

Because Yu Ji was the person he liked, and he had never seen anyone so beautiful.

From the moment he saw Yu Ji dancing, Xiang Yu fell in love with her.

But now her uncle Xiang Liang wants to kidnap her parents himself and force her to go to Shaqiu to gather intelligence.

Xiang Liang persuaded him, "Xiang Yu, we are people who want to do great things. To accomplish great things, one must make sacrifices!"

"We can't let our children's personal affairs delay important matters."

"If we become something big, what kind of women will we have?"

Xiang Liang's words continued to reach Xiang Yu's ears.

After a psychological struggle, Xiang Yu finally chose to listen to Xiang Liang and kidnap Yu Ji's parents.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, uncle."

After a while, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, disguised as Xiang Yu, went out with swords in hand.

Zhao Yi didn't know that because of him, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji turned from lovers into enemies...
