Chapter 436: Opportunity Comes
In the end, Ying Gao did not waste too much time on these young men. As for their wives, although Ying Gao would definitely not let them have any good endings, since he was already the helm of the Ying clan, he naturally could not allow any young men's wife to give birth to a child, but he didn't know who she had a child at all. After all, in theory, these young men still had to call themselves uncles and uncles for life, right?
But Ying Gao must not be prepared to interfere in this matter himself. He has made up his mind to deal with shameful things in accordance with shameful ways. However, the person who implemented the specific situation must be the unlucky Cao Shen. Who made him now be a dagger in Xianyang City? It is impossible to deal with things on the surface and can only be thrown to him.
In the end, Ying Gao asked Hu Hai to leave the banquet five days later.
After Ying Gao left, Hu Hai, who had no one cared about it before, became popular at that time. Many brothers came to ask him about his well-being, saying that he would go to the gate of Xianyang City to send him off when he left, and had prepared gifts for him long ago, and asked him to send them in two days, etc. Faced with such a situation, Hu Hai still looked flattered and dealt with it carefully.
When Hu Hai really relaxed, it was late at night and he dragged his tired body back to his mansion. When Qi Yi looked at Hu Hai's face, he knew that he must have experienced something extraordinary in the Xianyang Palace, so he hurriedly pulled him into the house.
"Is there something big happening at this banquet?"
Before she could glar at Hu Hai, Qi Yi was already extremely anxious. Whether this matter could force Ying Gao to make concessions was also a question she was very concerned about. After all, Hu Hai was still young. Even if she waited for a few years, and after the other young men were dispersed by Ying Gao one after another, they could also get the freedom she wanted.
"We are finally free. The emperor said at the banquet that I am the governor of Xiang County and set off for Xiang County in five days!"
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
After hearing this, Qi Yi didn't react for a while. He stood in front of Hu Hai for a long time. Then he opened his eyes wide open. He was about to cheer, but he knew that it was not the time or the place, so he could only whisper to confirm the matter again to Hu Hai.
"Yes, I think the Lord discovered that the other brothers were spreading the rumors before. Only I did not participate in this matter and wanted to calm the rumors among the people, so I chose me. Please listen to me. In these days, many brothers and officials in the court would come to the mansion to send some gifts, or get close to you and me. I must not let them see the clues, what they looked like before, and what they still looked like in these five days. When I arrived at the distant Xiang County, everything in Xianyang City was beyond the reach of us!"
Although Hu Hai's voice was low, his determination was very high. What's even more commendable is that at this point, he still maintained a lot of rationality, thinking about what he did during his time in Xianyang City so that he could not see any mistakes.
Looking at Hu Hai who was full of wisdom at this time, Qi Yi suddenly felt that his luck seemed not that bad. Hu Hai was definitely not as timid as he had imagined before, and obviously he was not a stupid person.
As the five days after Hu Hai took office in Xiang County, he was indeed the same as Hu Hai predicted. Almost all his brothers brought gifts to his mansion, saying that he was saying goodbye to him. But Hu Hai knew of course that he was not only the prince of the Qin Dynasty, but also like his elder brother Fusu, he became the lord of a county. If he did well in Xiang County, when he returned to Xianyang City one day, his achievements would be different from now.
Just one day later, Ying Gao's edict also spread throughout Xianyang City. Many people in Xianyang City knew about Ying Gao, Fusu and Hu Hai who had competed for the position of crown prince in the Qin Dynasty.
Now Ying Gao dared to let Hu Hai go to Xiang County to be the county magistrate, which made the people of the Qin Dynasty who had a little opinion of Ying Gao because of rumors began to admire Ying Gao's courage and courage again.
It is difficult to reverse the people's hearts, but it is also simple to say that it is simple. Ying Gao, who has studied a lot of history in his previous life, still knows this.
The people's evaluation of the good or bad of an emperor must be very simple and direct. Doing almost one thing can give you an immediate effect in the hearts of the people, but the people will not investigate the deep meaning behind this, because they do not know what happened in the court and in the Xianyang Palace.
Hu Hai, who was timid and dared not to do anything, exchanged for praise from the people of the Qin Dynasty, but the young masters who started the culprit did not get any benefits. This made Xiao He and Meng Yi and others praise Ying Gao's approach very much. They really know what Hu Hai was like for so many years.
During the five days of preparation, it was fleeting, because Hu Hai and Qi Yi had only two people, and some servants could be considered light-fitting. On the night before they left, Qi Yi pulled Hu Hai aside, with some worried expression on his face.
"The person who wrote the letter to me has not appeared for a long time. If you and I go to Xiangjun like this, I don't know if we can still contact him."
Of course, Qi Yi knew that the mysterious figure had put a lot of effort into it. She always felt that she and Hu Hai could still borrow the power of that person, but some time ago, the person suddenly disappeared and the letter was cut off, until now.
"Mrs. Although she is lenient, this rumor has been circulated in Xianyang City. This person should have withdrawn from Xianyang City for insurance and hid in somewhere. With the mind of the Lord, he would have guessed that behind this rumor is the mastermind behind it. It is better to have this person in the dark, but it can make the Lord not notice me. He can only see other brothers being bewitched and spreading the rumor. Otherwise, if you have the same opportunity, the Lord would not give me this opportunity."
Hu Hai has been exploring this matter these days. He is now a young man in his twenties, no longer a half-year-old child a few years ago. He is almost still vivid in his goal of Ying Gao's ability back then.
That's why he told Qi Yi not to show up on this matter again, because once there are any traces left, Ying Gao will have a great chance of finding you along the traces.
"What are you going to do after you arrive in Xiangjun?"
"After I arrived in Xiangjun, if what I expected was, the mysterious man would take the initiative to contact me or even make requests, but you and I must ignore his requests. I must also focus on dealing with immigration from all over the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, if I have not gained a foothold in Xiangjun, I will be caught by the emperor."
"What the young master means is that the mysterious man has been targeted by the Lord?"
After listening to Hu Hai's words for a long time, Qi Yi finally realized it, but she didn't feel like she believed that an emperor who would sit in Xianyang Palace and could not see the sky or not know which county to go to have such sharp eyes.
"The Lord of the Lord probably knows the existence of this person, but he has not found out his background. Until now, the Lord of the Lord must not know the connection between us and that person. Therefore, after arriving in Xiangjun, you and I should pay more attention to it. You and I must not move lightly before we have no power."
When Hu Hai was in his mansion and Qi Yi repeatedly emphasized the precautions after arriving in Xiangjun, Ying Gao was also paced inside his hall while muttering something.
"Even if he has completely sealed himself in his own world over the years, why did I send him to Xiangjun like this big thing? He didn't show the surprise I expected? In theory, he should not care about the rumors outside... Forget it, the left and right have also made arrangements in Guilin. The right and wrong will be answered in the end, Hu Hai... I was trying to save you back then, so don't let me down..."
Ying Gao actually felt very sympathetic to Hu Hai. When he came to this time point, he could stop the tragedy of Fusu and the killing of all the princes and princesses of the Qin Dynasty. However, it was impossible to avoid the fact that Hu Hai had been fooled by Zhao Gao. This incident was a great regret in Ying Gao's heart, so he still attached great importance to Hu Hai.
Another day later, Hu Hai left Xianyang City with farewell from many young men and officials in the court. Under the escort of a small team of guards, he headed towards Xiangjun.
The journey to Xiang County is long, and the journey is not short. For this reason, Ying Gao specially formed a guard for Hu Hai. After arriving in Xiang County, he would protect the safety of Hu Hai's family for a while. After all, there was still a territory of the Nanyue people a few months ago, and it was just taken down by the army of Nanhai County.
What Hu Hai didn't know was that when he just set out from Xianyang City, Liu Wei and Sun Qian had just arrived in Guilin County next to Xiang County.
Bushan County is the county seat of Guilin County. It is located on the west side of Guilin County, not far from Xiang County. After Liu Wei and Sun Qian arrived here with horses, they discovered how good Luoyang is. Now the county seat of Guilin County is not as good as the village outside Luoyang City where Sun Qian is located.
The first batch of immigrants had arrived in Guilin. According to Ying Gao's previous deployment, they slowly increased the population with Bushan County as the center. However, when Liu Weisun Qian arrived in Bushan County, they lived in a simple camp without any clothes. The so-called Bushan County was just a circle of villages surrounded by mounds.
When the two of them saw it, they knew that what Ying Gao said to them in Luoyang before was not to scare them. It turned out that Liu Wei thought that Ying Gao asked him to come just to manage the newly arrived immigrants here, so he didn't need help from Sun Qian.
Now, Liu Wei even felt that it was not enough to have a grandson. He would have dug up several officials in Luoyang who had a good relationship with him.
More importantly, developing Guilin County is just the most basic job for both of them. According to Ying Gao's previous arrangement, they still have hidden tasks.
"The county magistrate, according to the previous statement of the emperor, it will probably take some time before the county magistrate of Xiang County will arrive. During this period, I, Guilin, still have to use these people to build this county town first, otherwise... I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the emperor's request!"
Looking at Liu Wei with a sad face, Sun Qian stepped forward and reminded him that as a Qian leader who had lived a hard life for half his life, he had seen even worse situations than this. And the best thing here is that although there is nothing, he does not lack food, clothing, and manpower. In Sun Qian's eyes, it will be a matter of time to develop.
Looking at Sun Qian's confident eyes, Liu Wei also had a little confidence. At this time, he could only believe Sun Qian. After all, for both of them, the real test is still to come.
The center of the storm was obviously moving from Xianyang City to the remote Xiang County during this period, but many people didn't know it.
In a turtle temple in some unknown place, there was barren land around it. Two people were sitting in front of a small team of bonfires, and a whole hare was burning on the fire, and it was sizzling with grease.
The two people sitting in front of the fire were Zhao Cheng who had withdrawn from Xianyang City and the big man beside him. At this time, Zhao Cheng was manipulating the hare on the fire to prevent it from being battered. The big man beside him was gasping for breath, obviously he had just returned here.
The big man gasped for a while, and when he was breathing evenly, he spoke with excitement: "Young Master, there is a good news this time. After the rumors we spread spread in Xianyang City, the emperor was indeed a little panicked. Just a few days after we both withdrew, he announced that he would send a young master to Xiang County to serve as the county magistrate, and this person was Hu Hai who had contact with us before!"
"Oh? He actually dared to send Hu Hai out of Xianyang, he was really brave!"
When Zhao Cheng heard that it was Hu Hai who was sent out by Ying Gao, he was also quite shocked. As Zhao Gao's younger brother, he naturally knew very well about Hu Hai and Ying Gao's past, so it was really beyond his expectations that Hu Hai was able to come out.
He knew that he had been waiting for a long time for an opportunity, and at this moment, he might have really come, and all he had to do was to seize it.
