Chapter 53
Hu Hai returned to Wuxin Palace, and Shusun Tong was already waiting.
Recently, Uncle Sun Tong was preparing for the selection of materials, busy with his face, with a look of fatigue, but his dark eyes still shone with light.
Hu Hai briefly learned about the material selection with Shu Sun Tong.
Shusun Tong explained one by one.
The notice for the selection of materials has been posted for two days, and many people have come to register. Shusun Tong arranged for someone to conduct a detailed investigation of the candidates to avoid infiltrating the thieves.
All the major families in Xianyang City also seized the opportunity and sent some middle-level young children from the family. These young people do not have a high status in the family and cannot be compared with legitimate sons. Now that the court has made this choice of talents, it just gives these middle-level children a chance. After all, they are born in aristocratic families and have a much higher chance of making achievements in the army than ordinary people.
Hu Hai was very satisfied with all the arrangements of Shusun Tong.
He briefly explained the result of the interrogation of Mr. Huang to his uncle Sun Tong, and finally said, "I want to meet the Zhu family in person. I have to do this for the teacher. After all, Mr. and Naupu have a few encounters. Let Chen Jia accompany you, pretend to be an ordinary businessman, and have a contact with the Zhu family first. Depending on his character, if he can serve the court, it will be of great use."
Shusun Tong nodded and said, "The Zhu family sells private salt and should be killed. If the private salt is sold to the Huns and Donghu people, they should be killed. The emperor does not ask for any crime, which is a kindness to him. I think he has no reason to refuse."
Hu Hai nodded. If the Zhu family really refused to do things for the court, he would not mind getting rid of this hero in the world.
Shusun Tong received the order from the Second Emperor and immediately left the palace with Chen Jia. He had to find Uppu first before contacting the Zhu family. Tomorrow is the day to select materials, and this night is really enough for Shusun Tong to work hard.
Hu Hai reviewed several more urgent memorials before returning to Xiuzhu Pavilion under the guidance of the eunuch.
Ruizhu was waiting there early, and when she saw that the emperor was really here to sleep, she couldn't help but be happy.
After an inevitable turn of clouds and rain, Hu Hai fell asleep with Ruizhu in his arms.
This was the best night for Hu Hai to sleep after killing Zhao Gao.
The next day, just as the sky was getting dark, Hu Hai opened his eyes and looked at Ruizhu who was sleeping beside him. He chuckled, kissed Ruizhu, and turned over.
He walked out of Xiu Zhuge, took a deep breath in the courtyard in front of the hall, and practiced a set of fists according to Hu Hai's old memory. While breathing, he felt refreshed and his strength seemed to have increased a little.
"In this chaotic era of cold weapons, some kung fu is still necessary." Hu Hai finished a set of punches, closed his momentum and stood up, calming his mind.
"It seems that the martial arts teacher the old emperor hired for Hu Hai is indeed a master." Hu Hai recalled the skills he had practiced, and his eyes were shining with a bright light.
Young people in later generations all had a dream of martial arts in their hearts, but their kung fu gradually declined and became a prop for film and television performances. Now Hu Hai personally felt his strong kung fu, and he was a little excited.
"Emperor!" Ruizhu's voice came over with Mi Xiang.
Hu Hai turned around and saw a bowl of porridge in Ruizhu's hand, and his index finger suddenly moved.
Before traveling through time, I was a miserable office worker, and I usually mess with breakfast or simply don’t eat it. Now when I came to Daqin, I have a special person to deliver breakfast every day, which makes Hu Hai enjoy it.
There are many things today, and the most important thing is to select materials.
Hu Hai must participate in the competition for the general selection and commander competition scheduled to start at Chenshi. He finished his meal quickly and was about to leave Xiuzhu Pavilion.
Ruizhu kept staring at Hu Hai with tenderness on her face. When Hu Hai was about to leave, she suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, after selecting materials today, you may have to fight in person. There are many dangers ahead, so you must be careful."
Hu Hai reached out to help Ruizhu, and smiled and said, "It's okay, I am the true dragon emperor, don't worry."
Ruizhu did not get up and said softly: "I am grateful for the grudges from the emperor. Now that the emperor is in charge of the army, I cannot serve the army. I feel uneasy. So please bring Diecui by your side and take care of your daily life. I feel at ease."
Diecui, who was beside her, shook her body and wanted to refute, but knew that she could not speak at this time.
"Diecui is your confidant maid. If you follow me, who will take care of you? And if Xing'er is by my side, you don't have to worry." Hu Hai helped Ruizhu up and gently touched her face.
"Emperor, Diecui is different from ordinary palace maids. She knows some martial arts skills. She can take care of her daily life by your side, and secondly, she can serve as your Majesty's personal bodyguard. Xing'er cannot replace this." Ruizhu explained.
Diecui on the side couldn't help but blush when she heard the word "close body". When the second emperor and Ruizhu were raining, Diecui was usually waiting on the side.
Diecui is now fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is just the first to fall in love. She has secretly seen the two of them several times. Especially in recent times, Hu Hai is even more fierce than before, making Ruizhu feel like she is dying. She is also in a mess.
Looking at the young and handsome emperor in front of him, thinking of the scene where Hu Hai's Chi Bian and Ruizhu were entangled, Diecui's heart was thumping. If there were no two peaks to suppress it, it would almost fly out of her chest.
"Kung Fu!" Hu Hai looked at Diecui in surprise.
Ruizhu hurriedly explained: "Diecui's father was originally a wanderer in the world. He was killed by his enemies and became a maid for his concubine, so he had some skills. On the night of killing Zhao Gao, I asked her to stay in ** to protect the palace servants, which was considered to have put a lot of effort into the emperor."
Hu Hai nodded, kissed Ruizhu's forehead again, and said, "Since that's the case, I will take away what you love and let Diecui follow me."
"I'm not grateful yet." Ruizhu was overjoyed and pulled Diecui on the side.
Diecui hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hu Hai according to the palace ceremony.
Hu Hai was very happy to see such a budding little beauty become her maid. Although she is the emperor, if she likes women, she can be a big shot. But that is a fool. In this stormy Qin, even if she is a sperm, Hu Hai dared not do such a big deal.
Diecui and Hu Hai were very satisfied. From the fact that she dared to come to Wuxin Palace alone for Ruizhu to find the emperor, we can see the girl's loyalty to the master.
When he returned to the Wuxin Hall, Chen Jia had already prepared the carriage. All the civil and military officials had gathered at the parade ground, and the second emperor was waiting for the second generation to come. This grand event of selection of materials was about to begin.
Hu Hai got on the chariot and waved his hand to let Chen Jia come in too.
Chen Jia hesitated for a moment. Although the emperor's carriage was spacious, there was never a precedent for riding the same car with his ministers.
"I want you to come, so come." Hu Hai said with a deep face when he saw Chen Jia's hesitation.
Only then did Chen Jia throw the reins of the horse to the guards beside him, and wait for Hu Hai to get on the chariot, and then he carefully stepped on the chariot dedicated to the emperor.
"Tell me, did you go smoothly last night?" Hu Hai and Chen Jia sat down and asked.
"It's still going well." Chen Jia said carefully.
"How do you say it?" Hu Hai was very relieved about Chen Jia. From the fact that he searched Zhao Gao to deal with witchcraft, it can be seen that this person is not a rough martial artist.
"The Zhu family is a sensible person. After Mr. Shusun revealed his identity, he said that everything was listened to the court and was willing to confiscate all his private property." Chen Jia said.
Hu Hai couldn't help but smile. The Zhu family was really powerful. They seemed generous, but they were actually gambling. If the emperor really wanted to use him, he would naturally not be punished and confiscated. Taking advantage of this opportunity to buy a loyal person, this person is not bad.
"That's not all. He directly helped Mr. Shusun invite his disciples' golfers, hoping that they can serve the country and participate in today's material selection conference. Even Upp is here to sign up!" Chen Jia said.
