Chapter 684: Meeting Kuaiji County
Of course, Han Xin knew that Ying Gao was willing to go on tour. In fact, since he became the Grand Marshal of the Qin Dynasty, he has been reviewing some things every day, and from time to time he has to meet those flattering officials. Han Xin has really lived enough such days. He is worried about when he can go out and let go as he did before.
So when Ying Gao proposed to follow him on a tour and still be able to take his wife with him, Han Xin was of course very happy to agree to this matter.
The reason why Ying Gao chose to go on a tour at this time was indeed because he had been in Xianyang Palace for too long, which was really boring. Of course, the more important thing is that Tian Yan has finished his confinement period now, and his body has recovered, and he can use swords, guns, swords and halberds. In this way, Ying Gao was basically relieved to place Tian Yan and his two children in Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, I don't know where you want to go on this tour?"
After Han Xin received this news, he was basically ready to find Ying Gao and hurriedly began to ask Ying Gao where his destination was this time.
"You have caught up with a good time. Now I have been to the harsh places in the north, so naturally I cannot favor one or the other. Although I have been close to Jiangdong because of the war, it has never been there at the beginning. Now the Qin Dynasty has been unified for a long time, and there is an old friend of ours in Kuaiji County, so we naturally have to talk to him well."
Han Xin knew as soon as he heard this, Ying Gao was not just going to play or relax. If he wanted to go to Jiangdong, he must have gone to see Xiang Yu. After all, Xiang Yu had returned to the territory of the Qin Dynasty for some time, and he did not live under Ying Gao's nose like Antioch III and others. Besides, he was also a county magistrate of Kuaiji County.
The news Ying Gao got from Kuaiji County was that Xiang Yu basically didn't care about the matters in Kuaiji County. He just drank wine in his mansion every day, or fished in a river, and lived a very comfortable life. Moreover, although Xiang Yu was not in charge, he had taken a lot of money from Kuaiji County. According to the officials who temporarily handled various matters for Xiang Yu, the money Xiang Yu should have obtained in this county magistrate.
Everything shows that Xiang Yu's life there seems to be similar to what Ying Gao wants to achieve, so Ying Gao wants to choose to go to Jiangdong District at this time. Of course, as an emperor, he has the obligation to see if Xiang Yu is really doing these things, but more things can be seen at the former anti-Qin and anti-Qin people in Jiangdong now have the attitude towards the Qin and the emperor.
When Han Xin heard that he was going to Jiangdong, he also showed a smile on his face. Although his veteran was not in Jiangdong, he was not far from Jiangdong. Jiangdong always gave him a feeling of being close. This time he could take Yang Zi to Jiangdong, which was so busy that Ying Gao had a big vacation for Han Xin who was busy for this period of time.
"I wonder if the Lord wants to go privately this time or tell the world about this matter?"
Han Xin knew more or less about Ying Gao's usual habits. Under normal circumstances, Ying Gao might not disclose his patrol, and he was not seen in the court for several days. The officials of the Qin Dynasty did not know what was going on, so they could only let Ying Gao disappear for a while.
But this time, Ying Gao shook his head slightly, obviously not going to do this in secret.
"This matter must be announced in the court, and Xiang Yu should be allowed to welcome you and me as the governor of Kuaiji County. However, before we set off, Xiao He will explain this matter in the court a few days after we set off."
Han Xin knew what Ying Gao meant as soon as he heard it. If he said something in advance, if there was any danger, they would all take their wives with him. It would be bad if they were frightened. Moreover, according to Ying Gao's past situation, the speed of traveling along the way would definitely not be fast. In this way, even if they waited for them to set off for a while before letting these people know, there would be no problem. Xiang Yu and others would definitely have learned the news before they arrived.
After responding to this, Han Xin immediately stated that in addition to the Zhu family led by Ying Gao and some of the Qin imperial guards, he would also mobilize a thousand of the most elite cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. These people would not walk with them with great fanfare, but would follow them all the way, not get too close or let the people of the place they pass by know that as long as there is no accident, they will definitely not show up.
Ying Gao actually knew that such an arrangement was very necessary. Daqin was so big that there were all kinds of people and those who dared to take any risks. In this case, as the emperor, he should put his own safety first.
In this way, Ying Gao bid farewell to Tian Yan and took Feng Qing, Han Xin and his wife, as well as the Zhu family to leave Xianyang City.
Tian Yan had no complaints about Ying Gao's departure this time, because she had long seen that Ying Gao's departure was not because he wanted to go out to play very much, but because Da Qin needed him to go there to see where Da Qin really didn't need Ying Gao to go, and Ying Gao wouldn't really go easily.
Moreover, when he was stuffing sulfur, Ying Gao once told Tian Yan what he thought, that is, he is still able to withstand such a long time of trouble now and physically. In this case, he will go there. If he needs him to go again twenty years later, Ying Gao has no choice. He has said more than once that he is not afraid of death. He may be afraid of death than anyone in this era. Although Tian Yan cannot understand the true meaning of Ying Gao's words, she knows that Ying Gao will definitely not lie to her.
On the fifth day after Ying Gao left, Xiao He announced in the court that Ying Gao and Han Xin, two of the highest-ranking people in the Qin Dynasty, had already gone to Jiangdong and were going to Kuaiji County to go on a tour. This action surprised the officials in the court at that time.
You know, where is Kuaiji County? It is the most serious disaster area for the anti-Qin period. When Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang launched an army in Kuaiji County to rebel against Qin, Jiangdong's children almost gathered in response. The scene was really scared by the officials of the Qin Dynasty. Now, except for the local officials in Kuaiji County, no one knows what the situation is in the people of Kuaiji County.
Moreover, Ying Gao placed Xiang Yu, the culprit of the previous anti-Qin, in Kuaiji County, and directly gave the position of county magistrate. Many people were wondering if Yi Yu did something bad in secret in the territory of Kuaiji County, wouldn’t Ying Gao and Han Xin go there a little danger?
But when these people knew about this, it was obvious that Ying Gao and Han Xin had already set out. It was useless to say more. They could only sigh silently. They thought almost all of them that they could not understand Ying Gao's decision. Now Ying Gao could completely enjoy a lifetime of life in Xianyang Palace without caring about anything. No matter what he wanted, as long as it was in this world, it could be delivered to him. It was just a matter of time. He could not always run to dangerous places by himself.
What these people don’t know is that since Ying Gao chose Kuaiji County, he certainly has his own confidence. He must not know that Xiang Yu will definitely not rebel based on his understanding of Xiang Yu. Instead, based on the powerful intelligence network he has established in Jiangdong over the years, Ying Gao has never intervened at once, but he also knows what Xiang Yu is doing in Xianyang Palace.
Moreover, the reason why he dared to put Xiang Yu into Jiangdong shows that he had already fully understood the people of Jiangdong and his own mentality. If Xiang Yu was still thinking about the things he had done with his uncle before, he would probably never appear in front of Ying Gao.
However, in a short while, the news was passed to Kuaiji County. Xiang Yu only learned about this through the mouths of other officials of Kuaiji County. What Ying Gao came here to do, so Xiang Yu naturally knew it. And he really didn't expect Ying Gao to leave him in this place for so long without sending anyone to see him.
"I'm here last time, I don't know what happened?"
"I don't know this, but according to what Xiao He, the left prime minister who is in charge of the government affairs in the court, the emperor may not have any very important government affairs, but he just wants to come here to see the lives of the people, and... it is said that he is talking about the past with the county magistrate."
After the official said this, he secretly glanced at Xiang Yu. He always felt that this sentence seemed to be of no benefit to Xiang Yu.
But Xiang Yu had no intention of being unhappy at all. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Since you want to come here to reminisce about the past with me, you can't let you come here to make a few jars of good wine from Jiangdong. I will go fishing in the lake these days. As for whether you can catch the best big fish, it depends on your luck!"
After saying this, the official was sent to get wine by Xiang Yu with a confused look on his face. He didn't know why Xiang Yu thought that Ying Gao was really here to talk to him, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only prepare good wine from Jiangdong according to Xiang Yu's instructions. After all, Xiang Yu is now the highest official in Kuaiji County. Although Xiang Yu does not usually participate in matters in the county, he still has to listen to what others say.
After learning this news, Xiang Yu had to drive a small boat to the nearby lake every day to fish. Sometimes he got some harvests, and sometimes he had no harvest. When there was a harvest, he would take the fish he caught back to his mansion and cook them himself. Then the two sat opposite each other and tasted them, and tasted the fish he had made before. The two were also very happy, as if they had found a new interest.
Just like this, there were about twenty days left. Xiang Yu went fishing as usual. Yu Jidu was alone in the mansion to take care of their young children. She gave birth to a girl. Yu Ji was still depressed for a long time because of Xiang Yu's persuasion that he gradually returned to his calm appearance recently.
Suddenly, a sound of slamming the door came. Yu Ji asked an old servant in her family to open the door. After the door opened, she saw five or six people standing at the door. When she saw the four people in the first place, Yu Ji quickly stood up because it was Ying Gao who had met in Xianyang City, and Ying Gao's wife Feng Qing, and Han Xin she had seen more than once, but she was not very familiar with Yang Zi, but she understood who was here at the sight.
As soon as the door opened, Ying Gao, Han Xin and his wife walked into the courtyard. The Zhu family and two imperial guards were waiting outside the door. Obviously, they had already received Ying Gao's instructions and could not disturb their communication with Xiang Yu.
Because I had heard Xiang Yu talk about what Ying Gao and Han Xin were coming before, Yu Ji was not too surprised by this scene, but she was also very surprised that they actually went directly to her mansion instead of summoning Xiang Yu to the county temple. After all, Ying Gao was the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and Xiang Yu was just a county magistrate.
This situation made Yu Ji feel that Ying Gao seemed to regard Xiang Yu as an old friend of his. Xiang Yu had said before that Ying Gao came to him to reminisce about the past, but now it seems that it is really reminisce about the past.
"Your Majesty..."
Just as Yu Ji was about to show her salute, she was helped up by Feng Qing, who had already rushed to a thousand. Obviously, Ying Gao's arrival this time was only within the scope of a private visit.
"I wonder if the county magistrate is in the mansion?"
"My husband learned that you are coming, and went fishing in the lake every day. It has been a few hours today, and I am afraid I will be back..."
Before Yu Ji could finish her voice, she heard a sound from the door, and Xiang Yu, wearing a straw raincoat, appeared directly at the door.
"Your Majesty..."
When Xiang Yu saw this posture, he smiled slightly on his face, as if he had guessed something, but when he wanted to bow, he was helped up by Ying Gao.
"I have already said that this time I am just reminiscing with you, but there is no other meaning. I ask you about the affairs of Kuaiji County, you may not know!"
