Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 81: Rehabilitating Bai Qi

the other side.

Wang Jian, Duke Shang and others arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

After everyone arrived, Ying Zheng told Wang Jian and others that he wanted to rehabilitate Bai Qi and let Bai Qi's daughter Bai Yousi inherit the title of Wu'an Jun, and asked them what they thought about it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Meng Ao was the first to stand up.

He was over fifty years old and had witnessed Bai Qi leading troops to fight with his own eyes. He admired Bai Qi very much!

When Bai Qi was killed, he thought about persuading King Zhaoxiang, but his wife did not allow him to do so, fearing that it would implicate the children, so he gave up.

"Wu'an Jun fought thousands of miles throughout his life and never suffered a single defeat."

"This old minister agrees to exonerate Wu Anjun."

Lord Shang said with his back hunched.

It is a well-known fact that Bai Qi died because his achievements were so great that they frightened his lord.

If Bai Qi is not rehabilitated, who will serve the Qin wholeheartedly in the future?

Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about Wang Jian. In terms of military strategy alone, Wang Jian may not be inferior to Bai Qi, but Wang Jian has been very low-key in recent years and rarely volunteers. Why?

I’m afraid it has something to do with Bai Qi!

After Bai Qi was killed, which general in a high position would not worry about becoming the second Bai Qi?

Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Wang Jian.

"I agree too!"

After feeling Ying Zheng's gaze, Wang Jian spoke.

He usually speaks very little and has a very low presence, but Ying Zheng knows that Wang Jian is well versed in the art of war.

"Kings."

"I think it's inappropriate to do so."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ying Jian immediately stood up.

There are two reasons why he stood out and sang a different tune.

First, a few years ago, he had planned to marry Bai Yousi, the daughter of Bai Qi, but was rejected by the Bai family.

Second, if Bai Qi was exonerated, wouldn't that mean King Zhaoxiang was wrong? King Zhaoxiang was the king of the Qin State, how could he be wrong?
"Why?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's brows furrowed slightly.

"If Bai Qi is exonerated and his daughter is allowed to inherit the title, wouldn't that mean King Zhaoxiang was wrong?"

"How could King Zhaoxiang be wrong? Therefore, I think..."

Ying Jian explained.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng.

“Why can’t great-grandfather be wrong?”

"People can not escape from doing wrong?"

Ying Zheng's face was as dark as water.

"Mr. Xu once said that we must always seek truth from facts."

"Otherwise, even if the Great Qin unified the world, it would perish in the second generation!"

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. What crime did Wu Anjun commit in his later years?"

"If we don't redress Wu Anjun's injustice, everyone will be in danger. How can the Great Qin unify the world?"

Ying Zheng said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Ying Jian lowered his head.

He just felt that doing so would damage King Zhaoxiang's reputation, and he didn't want to see Bai Yousi inherit the title. He agreed that Wu'an Jun was innocent in his later years!

In fact, it was not just Ying Jian. Meng Ao and others thought that Wu'an Jun was innocent. The people in the folk basically thought the same, but everyone just said it in private!

"it is good!"

"Since everyone has no objection, let's do it this way!"

Seeing that Ying Jian did not refute, Ying Zheng said seriously.

After saying this, he asked Zhao Gao to take the edict he had prepared in advance and go to Bai Qi's hometown, Meiyi.

……

Five days later.

Zhao Gao arrived in Meiyi.

After Wu'an Jun was killed, Bai Yousi and others moved out of Wu'an Jun's mansion and lived in a very remote place on the outskirts of the city.

Bai Qi had a very good reputation in Meiyi. Zhao Gao said that he was looking for Bai Qi's descendants, and many villagers personally led the way for him.

Boom boom boom!
The simply dressed woman knocked hard on the door.

"Blue Bird."

"Someone looking for you!"

The woman said loudly.

Although she is a woman, she has a loud voice.

"Bluebird?"

"Isn't Wu'an Jun's daughter called Bai Yousi?"

Zhao Gao looked puzzled.

"This is her nickname. You'll know when you meet her later!"

The woman explained with a smile.

Zhao Gao nodded and pushed open the wooden door.

What came into view was a young woman in a cyan robe. "Are you the Bluebird?"

Zhao Gao asked curiously.

The girl in front of him was almost eight feet tall, and felt taller than him. She had a high ponytail and looked very heroic.

"Correct."

"Are you looking for me?"

The bluebird nodded and spoke generously.

Although she was dressed simply, she looked heroic.

"Yes."

"I come here on the king's orders."

"Mr. Wu'an's daughter Bai Yousi receives the order!"

Zhao Gao nodded, took out the imperial edict from his arms, and went straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the villagers standing behind Zhao Gao immediately knelt down.

Seeing that Zhao Gao did not seem like a liar, Bai Yousi chose to kneel on one knee.

"Wu'an Jun spent his entire life in the military and should have enjoyed his old age in peace. However, my great-grandfather listened to slanderous words and caused Wu'an Jun to die unjustly."

"I'm sorry to Wu Anjun and the Bai family."

"But after all, this happened over twenty years ago. We are not perfect, so who can be without mistakes?"

"As an apology, from today onwards, Bai Yousi, the daughter of Wu'an Jun, will inherit her father's title and salary."

Zhao Gao read as he looked.

The villagers kneeling outside cried with joy when they heard this.

The king actually wants to rehabilitate Wu'an Jun?
They have been waiting for this day for who knows how many years!
After listening to this, Bai Yousi's eyes also turned red.

She couldn't believe her ears.

After seeing that what was written on the edict was the same as what Zhao Gao had read, and that it was stamped with the seal of the King of Qin, Bai Yousi looked towards Wu'an Jun's mansion with excitement.

"Are you alone at home?"

After more than ten breaths, Zhao Gao looked at Bai Yousi and asked.

"Correct."

"My mother passed away due to illness a few years ago."

Bai Yousi nodded.

Then he calmed down and invited Zhao Gao to the study.

The study is full of military books, all left over from what her father Bai Qi had read.

"Do you usually read military books?"

Zhao Gao asked curiously when he saw this.

"Look."

"But I'm much dumber than my father."

"Mother said that when my father read a military book, he only needed to read the first half to guess the content of the second half."

"I have to read military books several times before I can fully understand them."

Bai Yousi nodded.

She usually speaks very little, and only talks more when she is happy or when talking about her father Bai Qi.

"Wu'an Jun's residence is not far from here, but it's hard for you to handle it alone."

"Well, I'll find someone to clean up the Wu'an Jun Mansion. After it's done, I'll have someone notify you, and then you can move in!"

After a brief chat, Zhao Gao said.

After saying this, he turned and left the study.

He had only taken a few steps when Bai Yousi called him.

"grown ups."

"I have a question, could you please explain it to me?"

Bai Yousi asked, blinking his long, clear eyes.

"Are you wondering why the king suddenly rehabilitated your father and allowed you to inherit the title?"

Zhao Gao smiled when he heard this, and then asked back.

Bai Yousi nodded.

"This matter has a lot to do with Mr. Xu Linxu."

"If it weren't for Mr. Xu, your father would most likely have been vindicated, but not so quickly."

Zhao Gao said as he thought.

Xu Lin recommended him to be the deputy leader of Luowang, and he introduced Xu Lin to Bai Yousi. Is this considered "giving a peach in return"?

"Mr. Xu?"

"Is he the man who invented tofu, straw paper, printing, and so on?"

Bai Yousi frowned slightly.

She had heard a little about Xu Lin, and she really liked eating vegetables and tofu!

"Correct."

Zhao Gao nodded.

Then he turned around and left.

After Zhao Gao disappeared from sight, the tall Bai Yousi looked towards Xianyang.

After a while, she will go to Xianyang in person to express her gratitude!
