Chapter 365 Go find Xiao He
Chapter 365 Go find Xiao He
"Xiao He? It seems this lad is indeed quite capable."
Tang Yu was not surprised at all to hear Xiao He's name.
He was the greatest contributor to the early Han Dynasty, and the establishment of the Han Dynasty was due to Xiao He's strategic planning. This statement is absolutely not a joke.
Perhaps the Han Dynasty would have collapsed without Liu Bang.
However, even without Xiao He, the Han Dynasty could not have survived.
I don't care how powerful your military genius Han Xin is, or how many troops you can mass produce.
But if you only encounter a normal soldier, you'll still need to eat, drink, and sleep.
Without Xiao He, you can't sleep or eat anything!
If a rebellion broke out on the spot, it wouldn't be impossible for Han Xin to be chopped up!
It can be said that Xiao He was the most important of the three heroes!
Xiao He's talent, coupled with the excellent experience and position he received in the Qin state, made him a perfect fit for the task.
Now, he has fully demonstrated his talent, and his future is destined to be bright.
However, Ying Zheng looked at Tang Yu and slowly spoke.
"In that case, Mr. Tang, why don't you join me?"
"Let's go and see how the poor people of our Great Qin are doing now."
Poor people...
Tang Yu's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the area he had seen earlier.
It was seeing those poor people.
Although they lived in poverty and misery, some even lacked food and clothing.
But each of them seemed to genuinely consider themselves a person of the Great Qin Kingdom, a native of Qin!
It is also a heartfelt sense of pride in the Qin Dynasty.
This kind of person should absolutely not be let down!
This is why Tang Yu was so determined to help them.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu was also curious about what consequences his efforts would bring.
At the same time, he was also curious about where Xiao He had spent his 2.6 billion taels of gold.
After all, his good older brother contributed 300 million taels of silver to this!
The two exchanged a glance, boarded a carriage, and slowly walked towards the outside of Xianyang Palace.
……
About half an hour later, Ying Zheng and Tang Yu were walking on the street.
There were no followers in the shadows, as for the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the secret agents of the Black Ice Guard?
Because Ying Zheng had already dismissed them.
At the same time, they looked at Tang Yu beside them, feeling that His Majesty's safety was definitely not a concern, and that they were only following him from a distance.
As Ying Zheng sensed the lively atmosphere and everyday life around him, he couldn't help but show a wistful expression.
"The last time I experienced this kind of life was when I was a child and lived in Handan with my mother."
Hearing this, Tang Yu nodded, after all, Ying Zheng had been on the throne ever since.
Although he gradually rose to the highest position, those close to him grew further and further away.
But in the end, he became a lonely figure, with no one in the world who could speak with him.
Is this really what he wants? Is this really what he craves?
No one but Ying Zheng could answer this question.
And now, Ying Zheng's words may have given Tang Yu the best answer.
The two walked down the street, their upright posture and imposing demeanor making them instantly recognizable to others.
These two men were noblemen of distinguished birth.
If it were in other cities, or in the other six kingdoms.
This group of local people and children, let alone playing next to Ying Zheng and his companion.
Even now, just looking at it makes me a little worried, because in those areas, these nobles really didn't treat the common people like human beings.
However, Ying Zheng was surrounded by a large group of children and middle-aged men.
"Wow, you're so tall! How can you be so tall?"
"Uncle, uncle, will I grow as tall as you in the future?"
"My mother said that I want to become a great person in the future so that I can serve the Qin state."
"Uncle, you're a general, right? You're so majestic! So tall!"
Ying Zheng looked at the several children playing and frolicking around him, who were clinging to him and refusing to leave.
Despite his imposing demeanor, he forced a kind smile.
Even when he was with Tang Yu on ordinary days, his smile wasn't this forced, friendly one.
It was a genuine laugh from the heart.
But that smile appeared on his face, which was colder than a dead man's.
Apart from Tang Yu, everyone else felt a chill run down their spines.
Only Tang Yu could tell that His Majesty was genuinely smiling.
But now, facing these children, Ying Zheng forced himself to smile.
Try to make an expression that will lessen their fear.
Then he touched a little girl's head and said.
"I am not a general, but I feel that you may become generals in the future."
The little boy, who was being looked at by Ying Zheng, immediately became excited.
"Really? Uncle, my mother also said that I will definitely be a general in the future."
"I must become a great general of the Qin Dynasty and defeat other enemies for my Qin Dynasty."
Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder and then said.
"Don't worry, I believe you can definitely do it in the future!"
The other people in the surrounding area watched Ying Zheng, Tang Yu, and the group of children interact and told the children to go back.
Everyone could tell that Ying Zheng and Tang Yu hadn't come here specifically for this purpose.
They then told their children not to bother the two men.
"You two brats, get back here right now!"
"They have other things to do, one day after another!"
"All he knows is how to be a general! What kind of general is that!"
Seeing this, both Ying Zheng and Tang Yu were at a loss for words, finding it both funny and exasperating.
They looked at the chubby boy getting a spanking and silently mourned.
It's not that the two of us wanted to trick you, but we just felt that you really had the bearing of a general.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's bright smile was almost impossible to hide.
Even his face, which had been as cold as ice for a thousand years, finally showed a slight ripple.
He sensed the atmosphere of the surrounding city and the peaceful and harmonious life of the people.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt as if everything he had done had meaning.
In fact, Ying Zheng had a secret he had never shared with anyone before.
That is, he felt that his life had lost its meaning.
This secret was known to no one in the Qin state except Ying Zheng.
He was a hostage born in the State of Zhao, and his childhood experiences filled him with hatred.
His goal was to ascend to the highest position and take revenge on his enemies in Handan.
After he ascended to the highest position, others told him not to let down the previous kings of Qin and to fulfill Qin's ambition to expand eastward.
After everything was completed, Ying Zheng looked at the world that had been completely unified and was filled with a sense of bewilderment.
But by then, there was no one around him to tell him what to do next.
It wasn't until Tang Yu appeared that he was given some clues.
