Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 202: The Great Victory

At night, Hu Hai developed a high fever and the palace was brightly lit.

The inner chamber maids hurriedly called a doctor, who then prepared some fever-reducing medicine for Hu Hai to take.

Hu Hai seemed to have seen many scenes in a daze.

These scenes were so cruel that he was so frightened that he couldn't get out of them.

Hu Hai didn't fall asleep until the sky gradually brightened.

Fusu went to see Hu Hai early in the morning. Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, his anger subsided a little.

After two days of rest, Hu Hai was full of energy again.

However, what was waiting for him was not to study with the teacher, but the encouragement from several brothers.

The daily academic schedule is packed, leaving no chance to slack off.

If he didn't do it well, his elder brother's ruler would hit his palms until they were swollen.

Hu Hai was in so much pain that he burst into tears, but his elder brother and younger brother did not show any mercy.

Helplessly, Hu Hai could only attend classes obediently with his teachers.

On the other side, Chang Xi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again carrying a medicine box.

"My Lord, I have discussed this with my fellow apprentices for a long time and feel that you can add a medicinal bath to your service."

"We have prepared all the herbs."

As he spoke, Chang opened the medicine box and took out large and small packages of medicine.

Zhang Yuanqing frowned as he watched.

Fortunately, these were not for him to drink.

"If it's a medicinal bath, does that mean I don't need to drink the medicine?"

Although the hope is slim, I still can't help but ask.

Chang Xuan's hand holding the medicine paused, he glanced at Zhang Yuanqing, and then continued to take it out.

Zhang Yuanqing shut up quietly after seeing that look.

Qingque and the others watched with amusement.

Now, only Doctor Chang Xian can make the Marquis lose face.

"Qingque, have someone prepare the tub. These are enough for three doses."

"Remember, take a medicinal bath every three days."

"The things to pay attention to are written here, please take note of them yourself."

"promise."

Qingque took the medicine bag and paper, turned around and went out to prepare.

After Qingque and his men left, Changqiong looked at Zhang Yuanqing again and shook his head.

"Why is Doctor Chang Xian shaking his head?"

"If the Marquis could get better soon and not make me worry so much, I wouldn't shake my head."

Chang Xin started packing the medicine box without any hesitation.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't ask out of guilt.

I just watched Doctor Chang Xian come and go in a hurry.

After Doctor Chang Xing left, Zhang Yuanqing stood up and sat at the desk, preparing to continue writing the knowledge he was going to teach Hu Hai.

He had written a lot before, but after he fell into a coma that day, Qingque and the others were worried about his health and had not allowed him to write in the past few days.

I have forgotten much of the physics knowledge I learned in my previous life.

When I write now, I need to think carefully about many things, so I write more slowly.

Zhang Yuanqing spent this winter writing books and teaching Prince Hu Hai.

When the last bit of winter snow melted, good news came to Xianyang.

Zhangtai Palace

“good good”

"Wang Jian, Tu Sui finally conquered Baiyue for me."

Ying Zheng looked at the good news with a look of joy on his face, and the whole hall was filled with his hearty laughter.

"Father, can you please show it to me?"

Fusu waited for his father to give him the good news, but after waiting for such a long time, his father was only concerned with his own happiness and did not show him the news.

Ying Zheng casually handed over the victory report, Shi Yi hurried forward, took the report and passed it to the prince.

Fusu took it, looked at it carefully, and his face lit up.

"Father, this is the list of officials I have prepared. Please review it."

Ying Zheng put away the smile on his face and began to look through the list.

Most of them are officials who were evaluated by the college in previous years, and they have achieved good political achievements in various places in recent years.

Ying Zheng could not find any fault with Fusu's list.

Look up at Fusu.

The child is now eighteen years old and an adult.

"The Crown Prince has reached adulthood, and it's time to choose a Crown Princess."

Fusu, who was originally waiting for his father's opinion, blushed instantly when he heard this.

"Father, I am still young, there is no need to rush to choose a Crown Princess."

The voice was a little low when speaking, and if the hall had not been so quiet, Ying Zheng would have almost not heard it.

"Nonsense, if you stand up, you'll be as tall as your father. You're so small."

"Think about it carefully these few days. If you find someone you like, tell me about it."

"If you don't choose, I will choose for you."

After saying this, Ying Zheng no longer discussed this topic with Fusu.

"You go and arrange for these people."

As he said this, he handed the booklet to Fusu again.

"promise."

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Fusu began to arrange officials from various places to go to the land of Baiyue.

There are also people from farming families.

He did not forget the original purpose of attacking the Baiyue land.

Rice can be harvested three times a year.

It will soon belong to their Qin State.

Following the great victory in the land of Baiyue, a man also returned to Xianyang City.

"Zhao Gao, the Imperial Chariot Officer, has come to see the Right Prime Minister. Please inform him."

At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Gao got off the carriage and stood at the gate with his men, looking at the guards on both sides with a smile on his face.

Soon, Zhao Gao was invited into the mansion by Gao Yi who had rushed over.

After many years, I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again and found that the furnishings in the mansion remained the same.

"Greetings to the Right Prime Minister."

Walking into the study, Zhao Gao didn't bother to look around and saluted the person sitting at the desk.

It was still that gentle voice, "Zhongchefu Ling, please stand up quickly."

"sit."

"Thank you, Right Prime Minister."

Zhang Yuanqing put down the pen in his hand and looked at Zhao Gao, "You have worked hard over the years, Minister of the Imperial Chariots."

"I noticed that the chariot officer had lost a lot of weight. Did he not get enough rest while he was away?"

Zhao Gao felt warmed by the familiar concern.

All the anxiety I had before coming here disappeared.

"Thank you for your concern, Right Prime Minister. Gao is safe."

"It is an honor to serve Your Majesty and the Right Prime Minister."

"This time, Gao has fulfilled his mission. The road from Xianyang to Baiyue has been completed. I am returning to Xianyang to report."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office."

"Now that Baiyue has won a great victory, His Majesty is preparing to send officials to the land of Baiyue. If the Minister of the Imperial Chariots can repair the roads at this time, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"If His Majesty knew, he would definitely reward the Minister of the Imperial Chariots."

Zhao Gao no longer has the same obsession with Your Majesty as he did in the past.

It's good like this now.

When I was by His Majesty's side, although I was valued, I was always worried that others would replace me and I would fall out of favor.

Now that I work for the Right Prime Minister, I don’t have to worry about falling out of favor.

You just need to do your best to carry out the orders given by the Right Prime Minister.

Moreover, he said outside that he was the Right Prime Minister's man, so even the scholars looked up to him a little.

Zhao Gao is very satisfied with his current life.

"Gao heard about the assassination of the Right Prime Minister while he was away, and he only regretted that he could not come back to take care of the Right Prime Minister."

"Is the Right Prime Minister in good health now?"

The sincere concern in Zhao Gao's eyes could not be deceived, and Zhang Yuanqing smiled.

"Thank you for your care, Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office. Thanks to the care of the doctors, I am now almost fully recovered."

"It's just that His Majesty is worried, so you need to recuperate in the palace for a while."

"That's good. The doctors in the medical family are very skilled, and Gao has heard a lot about medicine while he was away."

"The Right Prime Minister has done them a favor, so they will definitely do their best to save him."

"It seems the Minister of the Imperial Chariots has had a wonderful few years. Could you tell me about what's happening outside of Qin right now?"

"It's a great honor."
