The students of the Royal Academy were too enthusiastic, and Hu Hai wanted to use these enthusiastic young people to report to the academy. They hit it off immediately, and it was not until the sun went down that he had to talk to the students who had already surrounded the huge campus. Farewell.
These students¡¯ reverence for Hu Hai is undoubtedly from the bottom of their hearts. There were so many people that the professors from the Royal Academy were sweating profusely and trying to maintain order with no results. However, after Hu Hai's two short sentences, the students consciously maintained order.
Although there were commotions and brief chaos, fortunately, nothing unusual happened as Long Hong had been worried about.
By the time Hu Hai said goodbye to Kong Kun and He Xianer and returned to Xianyang Palace, it was already the beginning of the lantern lighting.
As soon as he walked outside the emperor's study, Hu Hai saw two petite figures turning around and running away the moment they saw him appearing. I couldn't help but feel angry, and shouted loudly: "Stop."
When the two petite figures heard Hu Hai's loud shout, they stood still as if they had been cast a restraining spell.
"Come back to me." Hu Hai was angry and funny, and said calmly in a slow voice.
The two figures with their backs to Hu Hai hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around and walked towards Hu Hai, who was standing at the door of the emperor's study, one step at a time.
"We're so close, who is it if it's not Ying Zhen and Cui Niang who is serving Ying Zhen in the east hall?"
Hu Hai looked behind him. Long Hong and the others had disappeared like ghosts at some point. Obviously, they had already figured out who these two people were waiting furtively outside the emperor's study.
Ying Zhen walked to a place three steps away from Hu Hai and stopped. He lowered his head and stared at his toes, silent. Cui Niang, who was following Ying Zhen, wanted to shrink her body to the limit so that she could hide behind Ying Zhen and block Hu Hai's eyes.
Both girls seemed to have forgotten the most basic etiquette when meeting the emperor. Fortunately, Hu Hai didn't care at all.
Hu Hai stared at the silent Ying Zhen for a long time, then glanced at Cui Niang who was huddled behind Ying Zhen.
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since he ascended the throne.
Starting from the execution of Zhao Gao on the East Patrol Road. The two girls Luzhu and Cuiniang were following Hu Hai. Although the identity and status of the two people did not play a big role in the killing of Zhao Gao, when Hu Hai was isolated and helpless, the two women were always by his side. I followed Hu Hai through the most difficult period during the initial journey.
Later, as Hu Hai officially entered the Qin Dynasty, he fought against the sky, the courtiers, and the survivors of the Six Kingdoms. In addition, Concubine Li, Yu Ji, and Li Yu entered the palace successively, although both women were promoted to female officials in Xianyang Palace. , but Hu Hai had so many things to do that he inevitably neglected the two women.
So much so that there were rumors that the two women were going to enter the emperor's harem. But after Li Yufeng was sealed, he completely disappeared.
Concubine Li was assassinated, and the two women accompanied Concubine Li in the palace; they stayed there for two years; then Yingzhen took control of the Black Ice Platform and moved into the East Palace. After Hu Hai agreed, Cuiniang was transferred to the East Palace as a female officer, responsible for Yingzhen. daily life.
Hu Hai comes and goes in a hurry every day, compared to Lvzhu in Concubine Li's palace. In the east hall next to the emperor's study, it was the place Hu Hai least set foot on.
In the past ten years, the maids in Xianyang Palace have been replaced again and again, but the two original cardamom girls have now become old girls who cannot get married.
As if feeling Hu Hai's eyes, Cui Niang, who had lowered her head and hid behind Ying Zhen, shrank in again.
well. Hu Hai withdrew his eyes and let out a long sigh in his heart.
"Cui Niang, please go back to the east hall first."
Although I know that such words will cause harm to Cuiniang. But Hu Hai was still cruel and said softly.
"Here!"
When Cui Niang heard Hu Hai's words, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. With a slight trembling sound, she bowed her head and walked back.
Hu Hai could feel the deep panic in her heart at this moment. But what he said to Ying Zhen next. But it was best not to let Cui Niang hear it, otherwise Ying Zhen might be embarrassed to death.
"Brother Emperor"
Ying Zhen did not expect that Hu Hai would be so heartless towards Cuiniang. He only saw Cuiniang a few times a year, but as soon as they met, he would drive Cuiniang away like another person.
The same fate gave Ying Zhen a special affinity for Cuiniang, a woman who, although she was of humble origin, never asked for anything. In the past few years, Ying Zhen has been accompanying Ying Zhen in the East Hall except for the massive amount of letters and reports that seem to never be finished. There is only Cui Niang.
"Zhen'er, I have my own arrangements for Cui Niang's affairs. Today I will talk about youmy affairs."
Hu Hai interrupted Ying Zhen¡¯s words, but when he talked about you and me, he suddenlyThen a moment's pause.
It¡¯s about you and me?
Ying Zhen was stunned when he heard what Hu Hai said.
"You and I were used instead of me. Did the emperor know something?"
Ying Zhen felt that his heartbeat was about to jump out of his chest for a moment, and his head went blank.
Hu Hai is actually not much better than Ying Zhen at this time. After all, he had always treated Ying Zhen like his own sister before, but after the incident at the Xianyang Grand Theater, the relationship between the two quietly changed slightly. What's more important is that after discovering Ying Zhen's feelings for him, Hu Hai was shocked to find that he was not too resistant, and even had some expectations.
"Zhen'er, you have grown up. Just take your time with some things, okay? You don't have to push yourself too hard. Isn't there still an imperial brother here? You know that nothing in this world can be difficult for the imperial brother, right?"
"Um!"
"Don't stay in the east hall all the time on weekdays. It's not like Black Ice Terrace will stop functioning without you as the hall master, right? Just leave some things to the people below."
"Um!"
"If you have nothing to do, take Cuiniang to Xianyang Grand Theater"
The meaningless dialogue between Hu Hai and Ying Zhen came to an abrupt end here. Hu Hai thought about why he mentioned this. Wasn't that embarrassing Ying Zhen?
And Ying Zhen, who was still unaware of anything, suddenly paused after Hu Hai mentioned the Xianyang Grand Theater, and instantly thought of everything that happened between her and Hu Hai on the carriage and in the theater that day, feeling embarrassed. Almost looking for a hole in the ground to burrow down.
A trace of ambiguity began to linger among a pair of unrelated men and women.
"Well, Zhen'er, you know what Imeanright? I still have government affairs to deal with, so I'm leaving first."
Hu Hai hurriedly dropped these words, used political escape and fled in embarrassment.
"Pfft!"
It was the first time that he saw His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Qin, who had everything in the world in mind, in such a miserable state. Ying Zhen finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing Ying Zhen¡¯s laughter, Hu Hai staggered and almost tripped over the threshold of the study room. Hu Hai cursed in his heart and ran away faster without looking back.
Ying Zhen¡¯s crisp laughter resounded throughout the emperor¡¯s study.
This should be the happiest she has laughed in the past few years.

On the sixth day of May in the 10th year of the Second World, Hu Hai issued an edict through the Zongzheng Mansion, officially canonizing Cuiniang, the female official of the East Palace, and Lvzhu, the female official of Lifei Palace, as the ninth concubine of the fourth rank. He also renamed the East Palace Zhaohua Palace and gave it to Princess Zhaohua Yingzhen. .
With the title of Ninth Concubine, Cuiniang and Luzhu¡¯s nearly ten years of bitter marriage finally came to fruition.
¡¡
On May 16, the 10th year of the Second World War, the Imperial Academy was formally proposed to the Cabinet Office by Kong Yu, the Prime Minister of the Royal Academy, and was established in the Royal Academy with the approval of the Holy Emperor Hu Hai.
On May 18th, the first issue of the Royal Newspaper's tabloid appeared on the streets of Xianyang City. However, the first issue of the Royal Newspaper was full of polo and football news.
On May 20th, the Holy Emperor Hu Hai issued an edict, and the 200,000 soldiers of the Daqin Construction Corps were divided into two groups and marched to the four counties of Jibei, Dongjun, Jiujiang, and Kuaiji to start building dams on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Yellow River.
For these two great river dams that have been related to China for thousands of generations, thousands of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry spent five years and traveled nearly thousands of miles. Finally, in February of the 20th century, they completed the first complete water survey of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. , topography and relief mapping and surveying.
Although everything has been going well in recent years, Hu Hai did not dare to take it lightly. Because of this, after dispatching 200,000 soldiers from the construction corps, Hu Hai issued an edict for the first time ten years after he ascended the throne to recruit a total of 400,000 people to join the construction. In the army of dykes.
400,000 people plus 200,000 soldiers, the total is 600,000, which may sound like a lot. But scattered on both sides of two large rivers that stretch for thousands of miles, there are not necessarily many at all.
These two dams were the first and largest large-scale conscription of Daqin people for labor service in the ten years since Hu Hai ascended the throne. He attached more importance to these two dams than to Li Xin's western expedition. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that the whole country has devoted its efforts, but it is not an exaggeration.
At the same time, dozens of counties and counties in Jiangdong, Jiangnan, Central Plains, and Guanzhong of the Qin Dynasty began a vigorous campaign to dredge the canal under the supervision of officials from the Ministry of Industry.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal of later generations has already been sketched by Hu Hai, and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and Shangfang have begun designing and preparing it non-stop. It¡¯s just that this canal will obviously no longer be dug by Chinese people in this life.
In the past two years, Feng Jie and Yu Ziqi's southern expedition army has successively transported back more than 200,000 southeastern natives. Especially in the Yu Ziqi period, the huge fleet of hundreds of warships visited all the peninsulas in Indochina, including the Malay Islands and the Philippine Islands, more than two thousand years in advance.
Thinking about it, it won¡¯t be long before Feng Jie¡¯s Guilin Army enters Myanmar, and the Great Qin South China Sea Fleet will be able to enter the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca.
In addition to plundering the natives and returning them to the Qin Dynasty, tens of thousands of people from the Bashu and Bashu counties had already arrived near the Red River Estuary Delta years ago and began to settle under the escort of the Guilin Army. They gradually began to move westward following Feng Jie's Guilin Army. With.
When it comes to relocating people to garrison in new lands, it stands to reason that the Baiyue barbarians are actually the most recently adapted to the hot and humid climate of Indochina. However, Hu Hai and the Cabinet Office are highly consistent in their opinions, that is, those who are not from the Lao Qin clan will not move.
