Daqin: I Want to Be a Powerful Minister, but the First Emperor Actually Passed The Throne to Me

The sound of the lanterns being swayed by the wind could be heard in the corridor of the carved railings.

The sun shines brightly through the red mutton wood screen window, and Zhao Yu's robe flutters in the air.

Qin Shihuang nodded, looked at Zhao Yu with deep eyes, and said, "Old Yu, don't worry, the imperial examination system has been in place for a long time! Three days later, the first imperial examination will be launched."

"Okay!" Zhao Yu nodded and said solemnly.

Huaiyin County.

The bright sun casts rays of light from the white clouds, and the white cranes on the blue sky overlook the verdant trees and the quaint old houses.

There was an endless stream of hawking from vendors in the county town. Children in open-crotch pants kept jumping up and down in the market. Every now and then, a child with a runny nose stomped his feet and cried.

In a corner at the end of the street, a young man in commoner clothes built a stove with bricks under a pitch-black tent.

On the stove, there was a steaming iron kettle.

The surface of the iron pot was full of dust and dirt, and the teapot hummed upwards.

The young man in commoner's face was calm, his eyes seemed as if he hadn't woken up for a long time, and everything he did did not arouse the slightest interest in him.

On his waist, he wears a sword, and the scabbard of the sword is carved with a unicorn auspicious beast, which is lifelike.

Under a tent behind the clothed youth, seven or eight people sat on a table with teapots and cups on it.

While they looked at the young man in commoner clothes, they also looked at the sellers of sour plum soup and tofu opposite the young man in common clothes.

"This Han Xin was originally just a grass-horse seller in the market. If His Majesty had not asked us to only drink hot water and use iron kitchen utensils, it would not have been Han Xin's turn to come here to boil the water and sell it to the people who came and went. Look at Han Xin's business at 950. , Let's not talk about earning him seven or eight cents a day!"

"In the past, Han Xin, a scholar who was about to starve to death, can now make so much money by boiling water. I am really envious! But the tofu seller opposite Han Xin, and the bun and steamed bun in the market center. Even more popular, I am afraid that the income is dozens of times that of Han Xin.99

"Han Xin looks like a thin and thin scholar, his facial features are quite strong, and he wears a sword with him. He also said that his lifelong dream is to be a general, bah! What ability does he have to be a general? If it weren't for the imperial edict, He was able to boil water for a living, he would have starved to death!

"Do you know the beautiful girl named Ji Tao in the county? She looks like a fairy, and her complexion is round. At first glance, she is expected to give birth to a son, but she was also hooked up by the wealthy Han Xin. I'm afraid I'm getting married!"

"Before Han Xin had no money, Ji Tao was always flirting with the butcher in the market center! He was lukewarm to Han Xin. After Han Xin had money, Ji Tao showed all kinds of warmth. I think this Ji Tao is a virgin bitch, and the man really is You have to have money to have a wife and daughter!"

"Look! Madonna bitch is here! Let me go, Madonna bitch is so beautiful! The hooked Laozi soul is almost gone!""

Similar voices came one after another. A young girl wearing blue clothes with a bamboo basket in her hand, with freshly washed clothes placed in the bamboo basket, shyly came to Han Xin's stove.

Beside Ji Tao, several sisters couldn't help shouting: "Jitao, this stove is hot, we won't disturb you, we will wait for you in front."

Ji Tao turned around and nodded (bjaj), and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, Ji Tao took out a piece of fragrant silk from the bag, gently wiped the sweat stains on Han Xin's forehead, and said, "Han Xin, you've worked hard!

"Jitao, I'm not tired, I've saved enough money, I can propose marriage to your family today." Han Xin squeezed a rare smile from his serious face.

"Yeah." Ji Tao nodded weakly, but it was as if sand had entered her eyes.

night.

The waning moon hangs high in the sky, and on the pitch-black sky, a few sparse stars shiver.

"Quack-quack-"

The black crow made a strange cry, passing like arrows under the dim red moonlight.

On a path covered with weeds, Han Xin, wearing a sword and holding a jingling purse in his hand, galloped down the path with weeds over his knees.

Not long after, Han Xin came to the gate of Ji Tao's courtyard, and the gate was locked with iron chains.

Han Xin moved towards Ji Tao's house and shouted loudly: "Jitao! Come out! We can get married! I have enough money!

Ji Tao's hut was pitch-dark, and no light could be seen from it.

Most of the people inside were already asleep.

Han Xin couldn't hold back his excitement, and shook the wooden door calmly, making a swaying sound.

"Jitao! Come out! We can get married!"

The shouts and the loud sound of the wooden door shaking alarmed the cattle, sheep and wild boars in the house, as well as the old hens who were resting in the courtyard.

After a while, an orange light turned on in Ji Tao's house. Han Xin's face flushed with excitement, and even his breathing became quicker.

squeak--

The door was slowly pushed open, but an old man with white hair came out, he looked up at Han Xin, and said, "Go back.

Hearing this, Han Xin faintly felt a little bad, and immediately shouted loudly: "Father-in-law! Ji Tao is over, I will ask Ji Tao to say a few words, and then leave."

The old man shook his head, walked slowly to the door, and said, "Jitao has already married off, to Li Yong, the butcher in the market, you don't want to look for Ji Tao again in the future, this is Ji Tao's own choice. ."

These words were like an awl, deeply inserted into Han Xin's chest, and the pained Han Xin's complexion instantly became extremely pale.

"It's impossible! It's impossible!" Han Xin turned around and ran towards the butcher's house.

After a while, Han Xin came to the butcher's courtyard, and looked at the orange light on the screen window in the courtyard, and a graceful shadow.

Han Xin was sure that it was Ji Tao's shadow. Strangely, there was a more burly shadow in front of Ji Tao.

Han Xin's face was full of horror, and he shook the wooden door vigorously.

bang bang bang!

While shaking the wooden door, Han Xin roared like crazy: "Jitao! Come out! Ji Tao! I've saved enough money! I'm not that poor boy anymore, we have a future!"

Boom!

Han Xin tried his best to split the wooden door open with one sword.

Then Han Xin ran towards the house at the fastest speed, but before he could run a few steps, he heard the door open with a creak.

The woman he was thinking of slowly walked out of the room, wearing a thin dress, her hair was a little messy, and the corners of her eyes were tired and unbearable.

"Jitao." Han Xin shouted, his eyes were already rippling like a lake.

"Don't say it, it's impossible for us!" Ji Tao's eyes were cold and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation, straight to the point.

"Why?" asked the straight man Han Xin.

"I didn't ask anything, and I don't need why." Ji Tao glanced at Han Xin indifferently, as if looking at a stranger.

Han Xin pursed his lips, the dam in his heart seemed to be hit, and thousands of grief emotions were like a tide, as if the world had dimmed in an instant.

With the last trace of stubbornness in the corner of his eyes, he asked, "Why did you lie to me?"

Ji Tao didn't answer, but just looked behind him. Under the orange light, a tall and mighty figure seemed to be dressed, carrying a huge axe in his hand, and slowly walked towards the door.

Ji Tao looked at Han Xin, her expression still like an iceberg, and said, "Han Xin, let's go, it's too late to go now, you won't have a chance when you meet Li Yong.

Han Xin didn't understand, and just stood there.

Soon, the butcher came out, he walked gently in front of Han Xin, on the bushy beard, a pair of eyes stared at Han Xin fiercely, and said: "Boy, either get under my crotch, or just rely on you to hook up. For my wife's sake, I have reason to kill your whole family.

While speaking, behind the butcher, some shirtless houses suddenly appeared, with axes in their hands, looking at Han Xin eagerly.

Han Xin was like a knife, looking at his former love Ji Tao, but only saw a cold face.

The last trace of nostalgia in Han Xin's heart also vanished, he knelt on one knee and said, "Okay! I'll drill! 95

In the roar of the butcher's crowd, Han Xin got through his crotch.

When Han Xin stood up, there was no longer any nostalgia in Ji Tao's eyes. But Han Xin's whole person seems to have lost his soul.

"Go away!" The butcher shouted, and several people immediately lifted Han Xin, who was lost, and threw him out of the courtyard.

When Han Xin stood up again, inexplicably a few drops of liquid flowed from the corners of his eyes and fell into the corner of Han Xin's mouth, exuding a bitter and sour taste.

"What did I, Han Xin, do wrong in my life? How could I treat me like this? Well, I will go to Xianyang to take the exam, and sure enough, all the love between men and women are floating clouds, and the most attractive thing in the world is nothing but royal power and wealth!

Han Xin shouted in his heart.

In the waning moon, the cold wind dried the last trace of liquid from the corner of Han Xin's eyes.

Han Xin carried the coils all night and set foot on the road to Xianyang. He looked listless and never woke up.

Behind Han Xin, on a sand dune not far away, a graceful woman looked at Han Xin's back, her eyes were like sand, and surging tears slowly flowed out.

"Han Xin, I hope you will never forget me, you are a person who does great things, you are the unparalleled hero in my heart, you can definitely become a general, forget me, I will definitely not drag you down again. legs up.

Ji Tao's eyes were like a dam bursting, and countless crystal clear liquids were dripping from the chin into the loess of Huaiyin along with the cheeks.
